County renews D.C. lobbying firm contract Board members disagree on merits of retaining lobbyists By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

Local military veterans find success opening businesses By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com

incent Romandine always wanted to work on his own. The corporal in the Marine Corps Reserves said he wanted to try to start his own personal training business, rather than working for another gym after his former strength and conditioning coach decided to close her business. “I wanted to run things my own way,” the 23-yearold Romandine said. The trained mixed martial arts fighter now runs his own gym, All American Training in Crystal Lake. People who served in the military tend be driven and prefer to work for themselves rather than have a job. And many of them have learned to manage other people and how to work around risks. Being in the military helped Romandine, of Crystal Lake, to develop his work ethic and to be persistent. “I’m a firm believer in hard work and dedication,”

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board has renewed its eight-year relationship with a Washington, D.C., lobbying firm, over the objection of a handful of members. The County Board voted last week, 14-5, to enter into another contract with Ferguson Group to augment county government’s D.C. presence on top of working with the county’s two U.S. representatives and two U.S. senators. Under the deal, Ferguson gets a one-year, $82,000 contract with the option to extend an additional two years with annual increases not to exceed 6 percent. Ferguson received $93,000 in the 2009 and 2010 fiscal years, and $82,000 in 2011 and 2012, according to county lobbying records. The contract barely squeaked through the Finance and Audit Committee last month on a 4-3 vote. Member Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary, repeated her “no” vote on the board floor, first citing

Romandine said. “Starting a business takes time and effort.” Mary Margaret Maule is an instructor at McHenry County College, where she teaches business and marketing. She has veterans in her classes who have entrepreneurial ideas. “A lot get frustrated,” Maule said. “The opportunities they are able to secure are not challenging. ... They realize they want to control their own destiny. It’s not that they can’t find a job.” Maule added that many veterans want be in business for themselves. “Entrepreneurs figure out where risks are and figure out how to get around them,” Maule said. “[Veterans] have gained more confidence in themselves, are able to think on the fly, have great situational awareness.”

CHICAGO – For Shonn Hild, a landscaper from Sullivan, Ill., the controversy over Americans losing their health insurance plans, despite a promise by President Barack Obama, is frustrating and personal. For Jon Gabel, a University of Chicago health care researcher, the surprise is not the mass cancellations, but any nostalgia for the individual insurance market before the president’s overhaul. The policy cancellations are the latest issue dogging the president’s signature domestic policy achievement, leading to anger and finger-pointing. Millions of Americans who buy their own

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

Should McHenry County pay for its own lobbyist?

U.S. envoy was inspired by South African struggle By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA The Associated Press JOHANNESBURG – The new United States ambassador to South Africa says he was a “young kid” when he first met Nelson Mandela, who traveled to the U.S. a few months after he was released from jail in 1990. Patrick Gaspard, now 46 years old, was so enthralled that he ignored the anti-apartheid leader’s simple request in a municipal chamber in New York City. “I’m standing in the room and I don’t even realize that he and I have been left alone,” said Gaspard, then a lead organizer of the city’s rapturous welcome for Mandela. “At some point, I hear someone say, ‘Young man, are you OK?’ And I realize it’s him. And I say, ‘Yes, I am.’ And he says, ‘Oh, OK. Well, I’ve asked you for a glass of water. Can I trouble you for a glass of water?’ I was so mesmerized by the presence, of being in his company, that I was being incredibly rude. And I was leaving Madiba there, incredibly thirsty. So I ran and got him that glass of water.” Gaspard met Mandela a

“You just moved to him and you felt reassured by his steady confidence. If he said, ‘Charge,’ you’d follow anywhere.” Patrick Gaspard, U.S. ambassador to South Africa second time in 1991 when New York Mayor David Dinkins led a delegation to South Africa, then struggling to move beyond racial and ethnic conflict as its leaders slowly dismantled the apartheid system. In September this year, the newly appointed envoy found a very different South Africa, one that wrestles with crime, inequality, corruption and other problems, but embraces the democratic ideals embodied by Mandela, who sought to reconcile South Africa’s factions. South Africa has challenges but recognizes the strength of its diversity, Gaspard said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I went to an outdoor food market and saw black and white South Africans working in partnership in their small enterprises, which absolutely blew me away, because I didn’t see anything

8TODAY’S TALKER

Trans fat doesn’t stir much ‘nanny state’ debate By CONNIE CASS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – They are among our most personal daily decisions: what to eat or drink. Maybe what to inhale. Now that the government’s banning trans fat, does that mean it’s revving up to take away our choice to consume all sorts of other unhealthy stuff? What about salt? Soda? Cigarettes? Nah. In the tug-of-war between public health and personal freedom, the Food and Drug Administration’s decision to ban trans fats barely rates a ripple. Hardly anyone defends the icky-sounding artificial ingredient anymore, two decades after health activists began warning Americans that it was clogging their arteries and causing heart attacks. New York, Philadelphia, a few other localities and the state of California already have banned trans fat from restaurant food. McDonald’s, Taco Bell and KFC dropped it from their french fries, nachos and chicken years ago. The companies that fill grocery shelves say they already have reduced their use of trans fat by nearly threefourths since 2005. Growers are promoting new soybean oils that they say will eliminate, within a

A man leaves a 7-Eleven store with a Double Gulp drink May 31, 2012, in New York. Does banning trans fat from our food mean the government is getting serious about cracking down on all sorts of other unhealthy stuff? few years, the need for partial hydrogenation, the process that creates trans fats still used to enhance the texture of some pie crusts, cookies and margarine. Mostly, Americans’ palates have moved on, and so have their arguments over what’s sensible health policy and what amounts to a “nanny state” run amok. When they aren’t feud-

ing over President Barack Obama’s health care law, state politicians are busy weighing the wisdom of legalizing marijuana. Already 20 states and the District of Columbia have authorized it for medicinal use. Voters in Colorado and Washington state approved smoking pot just for fun. Still, Jeffrey Levi, executive director of the nonprofit

Trust for America’s Health, says a national trans fat ban is “a big deal.” After all, the FDA estimates it will prevent 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths a year. “There are other areas where regulation is sort of stuck – everything from nutrition labeling to food safety to the tobacco regulations that have not seen the light of day,” Levi said.

like that when I was here two decades ago,” said Gaspard, who was born in what was then Zaire, now Congo, to Haitian parents and moved to the United States as a child. Like President Barack Obama, Gaspard was inspired by the anti-apartheid struggle. He said in his Senate confirmation hearing in July that South Africa occupies a “central place” in his political development. He spoke to the AP at a screening this past week of the film “The Butler,” a red-carpet event hosted at a mall by the U.S. Embassy. Based on a true story, the movie stars Forest Whitaker as a White House butler who serves presidents over the decades, chronicling the civil rights era and ending with Obama’s election. The film features a protest outside the South African embassy in the United States, where a major polit-

ical battle played out in the 1980s over sanctions legislation that sought to pressure South Africa’s apartheid government into ending its racist policies. The scene was evocative for Gaspard, who was involved in the campaign to push American leaders into imposing economic penalties. “It feels like yesterday for me that I was standing out in front of that South African embassy with Jesse Jackson and others, performing an act of civil disobedience,” said Gaspard, a former senior White House aide under Obama and a top Democratic Party official. He was also a trade unionist, community activist and city official in New York. Mandela, now 95, is critically ill and being treated by doctors at his home in Johannesburg after several hospital stays this year. Gaspard spoke of the leadership qualities of a man who sometimes tried to temper the adulation that many felt for him and said he had faults like anyone else. “You just moved to him and you felt reassured by his steady confidence,” he said. “If he said, ‘Charge,’ you’d follow anywhere.”

No politics, no candy Michigan growers get apples to doze off allowed at annual Veterans Day parade By JOHN FLESHER and MIKE HOUSEHOLDER The Associated Press

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – The annual Veterans Day parade in Illinois’ capital city has some new rules this year: No politicians, no campaigning and no candy. The State Journal-Register reports the changes are part of an effort to refocus the event on the men and women who served the country in the U.S. military. Instead of throwing free candy to people lining the streets downtown Springfield, participants will hand out small American flags. “This year we are changing it around. We want to honor the veterans,” said Sam Montalbano, a parade organizer. “The World War II veterans aren’t going to be around much longer. I think it’s time to salute them.” Politicians who served in the military may participate with their veterans groups, but they can’t do any campaigning. Politicians who are not veterans may not march,

“This year we are changing it around. We want to honor the veterans. The World War II veterans aren’t going to be around much longer. I think it’s time to salute them.” Sam Montalbano Parade organizer Montalbano told the newspaper. Monday’s parade starts in downtown Springfield and ends at the statehouse, where a ceremony will be held in the Capitol rotunda. It’s sponsored by the Interveterans Council of Sangamon County and will honor all veterans, regardless of when they served. The parade will also feature high school bands, World War II re-enactors, a World War II memorial float and a Vietnam War float.

8STATE BRIEFS CITGO says company investigating refinery fire CHICAGO – A spokesman for CITGO says the company has taken “all necessary and appropriate steps” to respond to last month’s fire at its suburban Chicago refinery. Peter Colarelli is government and public affairs manager for CITGO Lemont Refinery. In an email, he says the company will implement appropriate corrective actions once it completes an investigation of the Oct. 23 fire. He also says the safety of employees, the community and the environment is “our single most important core value.” Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow have obtained a court order requiring CITGO to investigate the fire. They’re also seeking at least $150,000 in damages. Madigan’s office says the fire created a significant threat to public safety and the environment and the company violated air pollution laws.

Woman caught on video stealing puppies NAPERVILLE – Two suburban Chicago pet stores are looking for a woman they say was caught on surveillance video stealing puppies. The incidents occurred about 30 minutes apart Friday at Petland stores in Bolingbrook and Naperville. In both cases, employees say a woman asked to see a small white puppy. The woman then distracted

employees before putting the puppies in her bag and leaving. Employees say the thefts appear to have been committed by the same woman, who had blonde hair and was wearing a striped scarf. The puppy taken from the Bolingbrook store was a 14-week-old white Maltese named Hercules. The Naperville store reported a 10-week-old white Havanese puppy named Casper was taken. Police are reviewing the video footage. The puppies are valued at about $3,500.

CENTRAL LAKE, Mich. – This year’s Michigan apple crop is expected to be 10 times as plentiful as last year’s puny output. While the big bounce-back is welcomed in the nation’s third-largest apple-producing state, the bounty presents its own challenges: How do growers, packers and processors maximize storage to avoid flooding stores with the fruit, thus crashing the market and lowering growers’ profits? The answer, as it turns out, lies in getting the apples to go to sleep – and stay that way. Two techniques – one relatively new, the other a play on time-tested refrigeration – are keeping apples fresh and flavorful longer than ever, with some varieties “sleeping” for as many as 9 to 10 months to keep consumers happy until the next harvest. A fairly recent innova-

They are sealed inside a room where blowing fans spread the 1-MCP compound in a gaseous form, so it can work its way inside the fruit. Known commercially as “SmartFresh,” it “has been a game-changer for apple storage and is partly re-

sponsible for the up-trending consumption of apples in the U.S. over the last 5 to 10 years,” Michigan State University horticulture professor Randy Beaudry said.

Chicago man charged in shooting of 6-year-old boy CHICAGO – A Chicago man accused of firing gunshots that injured a 6-year-old boy in a car has been charged with attempted murder. Police announced late Friday that 23-year-old Cesar Delvalle had been arrested in the shooting, which took place Wednesday in the Gage Park area on the South Side. He was expected to appear in bond court Saturday. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney yet. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the shooting broke out after an argument between those in the car and several people who threw bottles at the vehicle. The newspaper reported that the boy was hit in the shoulder. He was hospitalized in serious condition.

gan’s 9.2 million trees produce 20 million to 23 million bushels, pumping up to $900 million into the economy. The state’s 2013 harvest is projected to be around 30 million bushels, which roughly equals out to 382 medium-sized apples for every state resident; 12 for every American. Yet, its 2012 crop was about 90 percent smaller, the biggest apple crop loss since the 1940s, according to the Michigan Apple Committee, a nonprofit funded by the state’s growers. Apple trees bloomed early because of an extraordinary heat wave in March, followed by a series of frosts and freezes that killed most of the blossoms. This year has been a different story altogether. “We’ve had very excellent yields per acre. They’re off the charts,” said King Orchards owner John King. He bought the orchard, located in Central Lake in Michigan’s northwestern Lower Peninsula, three decades ago. “This year we were blessed.”

For boomers, JFK death ripples still The shutdown’s surprise effect on jobs numbers By TED ANTHONY

The Associated Press

We cannot get past it, we Americans. Not a half century later. Maybe not even ever. The president with the easy grin in whom so much hope was invested. His wife, forever frozen in pink and pillbox hat. The motorcade. The sunny day. The shadowy man in the window with a rifle. Even more shadowy, the man on the nearby “grassy knoll” who perhaps existed, perhaps didn’t. The flickering, silent color film of a leader’s final moments. And the way it is described, even now, by so many Americans: the “loss of innocence” that left us vulnerable to so much of the heartache and tumult that was still to come. If, that is, we were ever truly innocent in the first place. We should move on, maybe. But we don’t. From that moment in Dallas – that moment scoured and buffed for so long, visited and revisited by so many people with so many agendas for so many years – from that moment until now, Americans will not let go of this event that changed so much and, just as significantly, was thought to have changed so much more. Even as the world lurched forward, Pause was pressed on that moment, and Play has never really been pressed again. Why? Here’s one two-word answer: baby boomers. It is they who have carried this torch, they who have fueled its flame. When talk turns to the inevitable question – “Where were you when you heard the president had been shot?” – the dominant answer in American culture is this one: “I was in school.” It is almost as if no adults were around on the Friday of the assassination, except as bit players. This is because baby boomers – who were, indeed, in school that day – are the ones who have shaped the national memories of this

“It has become a founding crisis ... for this generation in particular. They have made it their own. They made it part of what came after it.

event. For this generation – the Americans who were 17 and under on that day and, today, are from 67 down to, say, 49 – the assassination of John F. Kennedy remains the watershed event that birthed the decade we know as the ‘60s and rippled out, year after year, into politics and science and art and culture. It has been a singular snowball rolling down a hill, still gathering debris and holding onto mo-

mentum as it hurtles through succeeding generations. “This murder in broad daylight ... everything changed,” says Oliver Stone, the boomer director who served in Vietnam and made a movie about it before turning his distinctively critical lens on the Kennedy assassination.

New trial sought for boy executed in ’44 By JEFFREY COLLINS The Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. – Supporters of a 14-year-old black boy executed in 1944 for killing two white girls are asking a South Carolina judge to take the unheard-of move of granting him a new trial in hopes he will be cleared of the charges. George Stinney was convicted on a shaky confession in a segregated society that wanted revenge for the beating deaths of the two girls, ages 11 and 7, according to the lawsuit filed last month on Stinney’s behalf in Clarendon County. The request for a new trial has an uphill climb. The judge may refuse to hear it at all, since the punishment was already carried out. Also, South Carolina has strict rules for introducing new evidence after a trial is complete, requiring the information to have

been impossible to discover before the trial and likely to change the results, said Kenneth Gaines, a professor at the University of South Carolina’s law school. “I think it’s a longshot, but I admire the lawyer for trying it,” Gaines said, adding that he’s not George Stin- aware of any other executney Jr., 14, was executed ed inmates in the state being in 1944 granted a new trial posthumously. The request for a new trial is largely symbolic, but Stinney’s supporters say they would prefer exoneration to a pardon. Stinney’s case intersects some long-running disputes in the American legal system – the death penalty and race. At 14, he’s the youngest person executed in the United

States in past 100 years. He was electrocuted just 84 days after the girls were killed in March 1944. The request for a new trial includes sworn statements from two of Stinney’s siblings who say he was with them the entire day the girls were killed. Notes from Stinney’s confession and most other information deputies and prosecutors used to convict Stinney in a one-day trial have disappeared along with any transcript of the proceedings. Only a few pages of cryptic, hand-written notes remain, according to the motion. “Why was George Stinney electrocuted? The state can’t produce any paperwork to justify why he was,” said George Frierson, a local school board member who grew up in Stinney’s hometown hearing stories about the case and decided six years ago to start studying it and pushing for exoneration.

verdict against Countrywide and a former executive, Rebecca Mairone. The trial was related to mortgages the government said were sold at break-neck speed without regard to quality as the economy headed into a tailspin. The government had accused the financial institutions of urging workers to churn out loans, accept fudged applications and hide ballooning defaults through a loan program called the Hustle, shorthand for high-speed swim lane, which operated under the motto, “Loans Move Forward, Never Backward.” Bank of America, based in Charlotte, N.C., denied there was fraud. Thousands of loans made through the Hustle program were sold to Fannie and Freddie, which packaged loans into securities and sold them to investors.

like “they think” or “they believe” – is a futile pursuit. Many have tried, particularly with the boomers. Most have fallen short. The group is too diverse. Yet when it comes to this event, boomers are often united by the way they characterize it. Many have described it not simply as an ending – of a life, a presidency, an era – but as a beginning. It is variously cast as the start of when America took a turn for the worse, the beginning of deep distrust of government, the unleasher of many kinds of chaos – and, of course, the dawn of the acceleration of the Vietnam War and the out-of-control decade it defined. “It has become a founding crisis ... for this generation in particular,” says Art Simon, author of “Dangerous Knowledge: The JFK Assassination in Art and Film.” “They have made it their own,” he says. “They made it part of what came after it. They made it part of this revision, or this crisis, over governmental legitimacy. Or they used it as a founding moment for the unraveling of government legitimacy.”

8NATION BRIEFS Man pulls out unloaded gun, causes panic at LAX LOS ANGELES – An arriving passenger has been arrested on suspicion of brandishing a weapon in the baggage claim area of Los Angeles International Airport’s Terminal 3, causing momentary panic before authorities determined his handgun was unloaded. Terminal 3 was the site of a deadly gun attack last week that left a Transportation Security Administration officer dead and three others wounded. Airport police Sgt. Karla Ortiz said the man either took out the gun or a gun carrying case around 9 p.m. Friday. At least one witness who saw the act notified authorities and the bomb squad was called in to search his bag. The man had declared his weapon and cleared security before getting on his flight

U.S. seeks $864M from Bank of America over loans NEW YORK – Federal prosecutors want Bank of America Corp. to pay about $864 million over losses incurred by the government after it bought thousands of home loans made by Countrywide Financial during the housing boom. U.S. attorney Preet Bharara made the request in documents filed late Friday with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan. A jury last month found Bank of America Corp., which acquired Countrywide in 2008, liable for knowingly selling thousands of bad home loans to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between August 2007 and May 2008.

WASHINGTON – The government shutdown may have affected October’s jobs numbers. But not how you think. For weeks, the White House had braced for a dour report on hiring, with economists and aides lowering expectations and blaming last month’s partial shutdown for the inevitable bad news to come. Then Friday’s numbers materialized: Employers appeared to have ignored the shutdown and hired away, to the tune of 204,000 jobs in October. The shutdown, it seemed, had no effect. Not so fast. In the height of irony, the 16 days of federal worker furloughs and government disruptions may have helped, not hurt, the improved jobs picture. Typically, jobs numbers are announced on the first Friday of the month. Because of the shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics delayed the release of the jobs numbers by one week to allow more time to collect payroll and household data. That extra time resulted in an above average response rate for payroll data. So, not to get hung up on numbers, but the average participation rate by employers in payroll surveys for the nine months before October was 76.4 percent. That meant that in subsequent months, as more data was collected, the hiring numbers were adjusted, often upward. In October, with an extra week to collect data, the participation rate was 83.5 percent, the highest ever.

A robust hiring number, to some economists, now felt slightly inflated. “It seems that when the initial response rate is high, the initial payroll number is often, though certainly not always, stronger than the prior trend,” Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, wrote in a research note. In other words, if the jobs numbers in prior months were based on a lower participation rate, a stronger participation rate would skew the number up. “Tentatively, we think the effect of this could explain all the overshoot in payrolls,” Shepherdson wrote. As a result, some economists are predicting that when the October numbers are updated, they might be in for a downward revision and that November could yield a lower number as well. “Businesses may have inadvertently counted employment for an extra week,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “That could juice up the number. That may mean that we actually get surprised next month with a much weaker number.” Besides conducting a survey of employers, which gives data on actual hiring, the government also surveys households to determine the unemployment rate. Furloughed federal employees were considered unemployed during the shutdown and thus contributed to the increase in the unemployment rate in October from 7.2 percent to 7.3 percent. Without the furloughs, the unemployment rate would have dropped.

Officials: Typhoon death toll could exceed 10,000

hhh

By JIM GOMEZ The Associated Press TACLOBAN, Philippines – As many as 10,000 people are believed to have died in one Philippine city alone when one of the worst storms on record sent giant sea waves, washing away homes, schools and airport buildings, officials said early Sunday. Ferocious winds ravaged several central islands, burying people under tons of debris and leaving corpses hanging from trees. Regional police chief Elmer Soria said he was briefed by Leyte provincial Gov. Dominic Petilla late Saturday and told there were about 10,000 deaths in the province, mostly by drowning and from collapsed buildings. The governor’s figure was based on reports from village officials in areas where

Tacloban Airport is covered by debris Saturday after powerful Typhoon Haiyan hit Tacloban city, in Leyte province in central Philippines. Typhoon Haiyan slammed Friday. Tacloban city administrator Tecson Lim said that the death toll in the city alone “could go up to 10,000.” Tacloban is the Leyte provincial capital of 200,000 people and the

biggest city on Leyte Island. On Samar Island, which is facing Tacloban, Leo Dacaynos of the provincial disaster office said early Sunday that 300 people were confirmed dead in Basey town and another 2,000 were missing.

No deal reached in Iran nuke talks The ASSOCIATED PRESS GENEVA – Talks on curbing Iran’s nuclear program ended with no deal early Sunday after France objected that proposed measures didn’t go far enough, but U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said “significant progress” had been made on the differences that remain. Six world powers and Iran agreed to resume talks Nov. 20. Both sides badly wanted agreement. The U.S. and its five partners were looking for initial caps on Iran’s ability to make an atomic bomb, while Tehran sought some easing of sanctions stifling its economy. But France would not soften its concerns John Kerry U.S. Secretary over Iran’s polonium project of State and the level of its uranium enrichment program. K e r r y , speaking to reporters after the talks broke up, Catherine acknowledged Ashton there were “cerEuropean tain issues that Union foreign we needed to work through.” policy chief “We’re grateful to the French for the work we did together,” Kerry said. As the talks foundered after initial signs of progress, Kerry rushed to Geneva on Friday, followed by counterparts from Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, for a last-ditch effort to push through an agreement. That failed, with disputes between the two sides complicated by rare open dissent within the six powers. France rejected a joint list of demands on Iran, saying they were too generous to result in sanctions relief. After the talks ended, top EU diplomat Catherine Ashton spoke of “a lot of concrete progress” but also of “some differences.” Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said he hoped those disagreements will be resolved at a future meeting. The two said the talks would resume Nov. 20 with Ashton and Zarif in attendance, but the other delegations will be led by senior civil servants instead of foreign ministers. Prospects for an agreement dimmed after the French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius raised objections to a draft that the French had previously agreed to. Fabius spoke of “several points that ... we’re not satisfied with compared to the initial text,” telling France-Inter Radio his nation does not want to be part of a “con game.”

HUGE Pre Holiday Sale THRU NOV. 30TH! Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Robert Lopez, who was a tank commander, left the Army in 2011 as a sergeant and moved to Wonder Lake. While going to school at McHenry County College, he decided to start a T-shirt line geared toward his fellow tankers. He started designing tank-themed shirts and started his business “Kilo Clothing.” In the past five months he’s had $45,000 in sales.

Entrepreneurial veterans look to continue business successes • WORKING Continued from page A1 Robert Lopez, 27, was in the Army until 2011, when he left as a sergeant. The former tank commander came home to Wonder Lake to start looking for jobs while he took classes at MCC. He applied many places but never got any return phone calls. So Lopez started a Facebook page to connect with other tankers, and the idea came up that there were many military clothing lines, but none geared toward tankers. “It was a matter of time before someone came up with the idea,” Lopez said. Lopez started the Kilo Clothing Co. He started mocking up some shirts, and sent designs to shirt printing shops on the East and West coasts. He de-

signed a website and handles all of the sales. When Lopez, who also is attending DePaul University to pursue a degree in finance, started selling shirts, he was able to limit the risk by making sure he had enough pre-ordered before printing them. Lopez is starting to design shirts for other branches of the military. He has customers currently in the armed forces, those who are retired and military spouses. In the

past four to five months, he’s had $45,000 in sales. “I’m hoping for six figures next year,” Lopez said. Curt Ames, 52, of Johnsburg always had a dream of starting up his own brewery. After leaving his post at the Pentagon in 2010, he had a business plan and tried to get financing, but that fell through. The retired Marine colonel worked for a few years for Northrop Grumman Corp., but still held onto his dream of running a brewery. So he left his job in July to open up Chain O’ Lakes Brewing Co. in McHenry in August. And planning the brewery led him to work with officials in both city and county government to help move the project forward. “The Marine Corps teaches you how to deal with people and build relationships,” Ames said. “The Marines taught me to persevere.”

• LOBBYISTS Continued from page A1 her discomfort with the size of the potential increases. “We don’t give our employees that, and other employees in McHenry County don’t get those kinds of increases as a general rule,” Barnes said. Barnes pointed out that she asked for a cost-benefit analysis, but never received one. But John Jung, R-Woodstock, chimed in that the county has paid Ferguson about $600,000 since 2005, and has received $4.6 million back in federal funds. Jung is chairman of the Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee, which works the closest with Ferguson. Jung said projects such as the Rakow Road widening and the county’s groundwater mapping system would not have been possible without the federal matching funds. “I think it’s very prudent for us to have a lobbyist,” Jung said. Board member Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, agreed. He said the lobbyist isn’t for working with the county’s representation in Congress, but for working with the other 531 members of the House and Senate. But John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, said he did not see any proof regarding how much Ferguson had to do with getting the funds that Jung cited.

tee, cited his general opposition to government lobbying. “The system itself is wrong,” Hammerand said. The practice of county and local governments hiring lobbyists with taxpayer dollars to advance agendas in Springfield – though Ferguson is strictly federal – has generated controversy in recent years. A Northwest Herald investigation in 2011 revealed that local governments had been paying lobbyists to fight to curtail the state’s Freedom of Information Act, Open Meetings Act and other laws requiring data and meetings to be open to the public. Subsequent research in later years revealed the lobbying groups fought efforts by a local state representative to enact legislation forbidding governments from raising property taxes when their overall assessed value fell from the previous year.

health insurance are seeing their plans canceled because they don’t meet the requirements of the nation’s new health law, despite Obama’s repeated promise that Americans who liked their health plans could keep them. Hild was startled to learn the policy covering him and his two daughters had been canceled because it didn’t include maternity coverage. He found a new plan, but it has added to his household expenses and his frustration with politicians. Gabel says the research he published last year predicted what was coming. His study found about half of Americans who bought individual insurance policies in 2010 had plans falling short of the new law’s requirements – plans that didn’t provide much

Hild recently received notice from Blue Cross Blue Shield that the insurance policy covering him and his two children would be canceled after year’s end. His wife gets her health coverage through her job.

Anyone who travels Rakow Road regularly will tell you how quick and easy it is to get from Route 31 to Randall Road compared with just a few years ago. The same can be said of Route 47 from Huntley south. Both of these projects were on motorists’ and public planners’ radars for well over a decade, and they’re finally done. We now can add the new, full-access interchange at Route 47 and Interstate 90 to the list of much-needed area transportation projects completed in the past couple of years. For the first time last week, motorists could access I-90 to the west from Route 47. Previously, motorists could access I-90 only to the east. If Huntley, Woodstock and other area residents wanted to access I-90 to travel to Rockford, Madison, Wis., or other places west, they had to drive to Route 20 or Randall Road to do so. Not anymore. The $61 million interchange is the first project to be completed under the Illinois Tollway Authority’s $12 billion “Move Illinois” infrastructure program. The agency, state transportation department, McHenry and Kane counties and Huntley paid for it. In addition to easing commutes, the full interchange should be an economic boon to the area. The village of Huntley has zoned 300 acres of nearby land for commercial and industrial growth. The project was well worth the money spent. While still ongoing, Route 31 improvements when completed will make the north-south commute on the east side of McHenry County all the better. And the Algonquin bypass, scheduled to be completed next year, will drastically improve commutes near Routes 31 and 62. Yes, each of these projects has caused headaches for an untold number of commuters. But in just a few years time, some of the area’s biggest transportation needs will have been filled. That’s good news for McHenry County.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Hear ye, hear ye To the Editor: When the town crier walked through the streets spreading the news, it was true. The information the town crier was spreading was factual information about what was transpiring in the nation. The information he spread gave citizens news with which they could make up their own minds as to what the news meant. Today, much of the news is filtered based on the opinion of the broadcaster. This tends to give citizens opinionated information, right or left, with which to make decisions. The public understandably is influenced by the broadcasters’ political beliefs, conservative or liberal. The midnight ride of Paul Revere was, like the town crier’s news, true. The message was “the British are coming.” This true message heralded the Revolutionary War, which took eight years and the lives of more than 100,000 patriot lives to win. Today’s elected officials create artificial crises and threaten the public with dire consequences to win political points. Our present administration has used tyrannical methods to discredit the opposition. The National Parks,

monuments and even the White House were closed to visitors. These actions were unnecessary and mean-spirited, intended to aggravate the public and turn them against the opposition. Washington, D.C., has become corrupt. It is the wealthiest community in the U.S. There are 149 millionaires or multimillionaires in Congress. We must get our government to function like our forefathers intended when they wrote the Constitution. God Bless America. Clifford Evenson Johnsburg

Abusing elephants To the Editor: I would like to share some information about the elephants at the circus. As they enter the ring with their costumes, trumpeting throughout, standing on their heads and climbing on one another for the elephant pyramid, it is an entertaining sight to see. With their performance comes a sad story to each one of these beautiful creatures. The elephants feelings are taken away by the hands of humans. The elephant is bred and shortly after her calf is born, is taken away. The

baby is tied up with heavy chains and ropes for months on end only to be released for training purposes. Tied and chained just far away from her mom, all she can do is listen as her baby cries for her. This technique is known as breaking the baby. The baby is forced to sit up, lay down and stand on her head or sit on a bucket by placing a bull hook under the baby’s chin. If she falls into it, she will get hurt. The electrical shocks the baby elephant endures is for no reason other than to show her who is in charge. This causes her to fear the trainer and do as she is told. As a form of punishment, these weapons also are used on adult elephants. As they are being harmed, they cry out for help, but no one

Pro-family candidates To the Editor: To all Republicans of McHenry County: It’s time to unite and rid ourselves of sellouts like Rep. Jack Franks, a puppet of Mike Madigan and the anti-family establishment. Stand with me and support profamily candidates. Our state is in freefall financially, and our representative pretends to care. It is time to take our county back from Madigan and his cronies like Jack Franks. Mike Swanson Union

It’s time to solve the Illinois pension crisis with real reform It’s clear that Illinois is heading in the wrong economic direction. We have a 9.2 percent unemployment rate (second highest in the country), $6 billion of unpaid bills that will continue to grow, $100 billion of unfunded pension liabilities, the worst credit ratings in the nation, and a pension crisis. The only way to start turning Illinois around is to adopt meaningful public employee pension reform soon. We owe to it our hard-working teachers and state workers to save the pension systems. It’s a crisis because if we don’t act soon, Illinois will continue to be plagued with high unemployment and economic uncertainty. Small businesses will not want to expand

and companies will not want to locate in Illinois because they will be concerned about the prospect of higher tax rates to fund future pension obligations. I applaud the members of the Pension Conference Committee for diligently working to develop a solution for the pension crisis. That said, I respectfully encourage them to finish their work with the involvement of the legislative leaders and develop a meaningful bipartisan bill. An acceptable bill would include provisions that limit future costof-living adjustments, increase the retirement age, and adopt a pension salary cap. A meaningful state pension bill would serve as a template for a Chi-

VIEWS David McSweeney cago teachers’ pension reform bill that would help Chicago address its rapidly deteriorating financial situation. If we don’t take action now and quickly follow up with a Chicago pension fix, Chicago residents will be faced with higher property taxes and cuts to basic human services. The wrong answer to solving the pension crisis is to raise taxes. There is now a strong movement to adopt a constitutional amendment to allow a graduated income tax in Illinois.

The top tax rate under the graduated income tax could be as high as 11 percent and result in a 2015 tax increase for families with income as little as $7,000 a year. There is also a lot of discussion about making the temporary 67 percent increase in the individual tax rate permanent. We need to produce new revenue by creating favorable conditions for economic growth and new jobs, not by raising tax rates. We, of course, also need to cut spending while protecting benefits for the disabled and our most vulnerable citizens. It’s time for all of us to put politics aside and adopt a meaningful pension reform bill that will save the pension systems and start us on the path to economic recovery

in Illinois. If we don’t act soon, our leaders will have to explain to Illinois residents why they didn’t take the necessary steps to save the pension systems and prevent higher tax rates. As former Illinois Sen. Everett Dirksen said, “There is no force so powerful as an idea whose time has come.” The time for real pension reform is now.

Wonder Lake set to raise tax levy request by 4.5 percent By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com WONDER LAKE – To keep up with rising costs, the Wonder Lake Village Board plans to approve a levy increase at its next meeting, the village president said. The board came to a consensus at its meeting Wednesday evening that it

would raise its levy request about 4.5 percent, Village President Tony Topf said. The village is unlikely to capture all of that increase, though, even if the board gives its final approval at its next meeting. A state law caps the amount some local governments can raise their property-tax levies to the rate of

inflation. Governments also can collect the extra dollars brought in by new construction and improvements. The Consumer Price Index rose 1.7 percent in 2012, so Topf doesn’t expect to see the revenue the village collects from property taxes increase by much more than that.

The village is “struggling to provide the services we currently have,” said Topf, adding that because Wonder Lake is primarily a residential community, it relies more heavily on its property taxes. About 37 percent of the village’s general fund revenue comes from property taxes in comparison to 27

percent in nearby McHenry, according to their 2012 annual financial statements. The village of Wonder Lake had a fund balance of $489,726 at the end of fiscal 2012-13, an increase of about $80,000 over the previous year, according to its financial statements. That works out to about 190 days of cash on hand.

Ribbon cut on I-90 interchange By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com As Detour winds down for a long winter’s nap – until construction season starts again next spring – we will run down a list of some recently finished road and mass transit projects: • HUNTLEY INTERCHANGE: Officials cut the ribbon on Friday on the completed full interchange at Interstate 90 and Route 47. The $61 million project gives Route 47 near Huntley access to both eastbound and westbound traffic on I-90. The project is the first to be finished under the Illinois Toll Highway Authority’s $12 billion “Move Illinois” infrastructure program. • FOX RIVER GROVE: The village dedicated its completed $3.5 million improvement of its Metra station, which features an expanded platform and a larger warming shelter that includes vendor space and restrooms. The project had created

delays on Route 14 because of occasional eastbound lane closures. • ROUTE 14 IN CRYSTAL LAKE: Expect intermittent lane closures during daylight hours over the next several weeks as workers reinstall decorative street light arms along Route 14 between Carpenter Street and Coventry Lane. • JOHNSBURG ROAD: Johnsburg Road has been reopened to two-way traffic between Route 31 and Chapel Hill Road. Construction work is expected to continue along the road through the month, and road signal installation is continuing, so expect occasional daytime lane closures and observe posted construction speed limits. • PARK AND RIDE: McHenry County’s first park-and-ride lot opened at Route 31 and Virginia Road in Lake in the Hills. The 105-space lot, which includes a bike rack, gives carpooling residents a place to meet and park rather than using parking

Bladder cancer expensive to treat • AWARENESS Continued from page B1 say is lacking in research dollars compared with other types of cancers. “I think for years nobody wanted to talk about [bladder cancer],” Layne said. “I don’t think people were confident talking about it publicly. If it’s cancer below the belt; people don’t want to talk about it.” This year more than 72,000 people are expected to be diagnosed with bladder cancer, and 15,000 will die from the disease, according to research from the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network. Bladder cancer is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S., but ranks 22nd on the list for government-funded research. Bladder cancer is one of the most expensive cancers

to treat on a per-patient basis, and nearly $4 billion is spent annually to treat the disease in the U.S., according to the BCAN. “It’s not a highly funded cancer,” said Joel Lopez, assistant account executive with the BCAN. “If you look at other cancers like breast cancer, they have campaigns going on. There’s a color symbol. There’s a human element people have incorporated into that. It’s highly publicized. Right now we don’t have that support, and we don’t have that awareness.” The BCAN hopes that Layne, and six others from across the country, on Wednesday can influence policy makers to increase funding for bladder cancer and make next May Bladder Cancer Awareness Month. Wednesday will be the first time advocates for bladder cancer have convened

on Capitol Hill, Lopez said. Since Layne’s surgery, he has donated his free time to the BCAN as an adviser for people diagnosed with bladder cancer. He coaches them through what to expect and gives them something doctors and research pamphlets can’t. “I tell them that I’ve come through this and I’m fine,” Layne said. “It’s a hard road. The surgery itself is difficult. Recovery time is lengthy. There’s going to be some bumps in the road. But if you do what you’re supposed to do, you should be fine.” Layne said Wednesday’s visit to Capitol Hill will further give hope to those battling the disease. “We want to raise the awareness that there’s not sufficient funding given the severity of the disease,” he said. “It’s worthy of more attention and research dollars.”

IHSA BOYS CROSS COUNTRY STATE MEET

McHenry’s Reiser runner-up Junior edges friend, takes 2nd in Class 3A By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com PEORIA – Downers Grove North senior Zack Smith might have considered it odd to be encouraged during a race by an opponent with whom he was running stride for stride. Except that McHenry’s Jesse Reiser did something similar a year earlier at the same place.

With about three-quarters of a mile remaining in the boys Class 3A race at the IHSA Cross Country State Meet at Detweiller Park, Reiser urged Smith on with “Let’s get him.” Although neither could catch O’Fallon’s Patrick Perrier, they got close. Then, they fought for second place, which Reiser took by one second over his racing friend. Perrier won in 14:21, with Reiser in 14:22 and Smith in 14:23. “It was a great race overall, a great time battling Zack Smith and Patrick Perrier,” Reiser said. “Those guys are fun to race.” Reiser edged Smith last year for seventh place in the Class 3A race. They be-

came friends after that and talked during a visit to the University of Illinois on Oct. 19. Smith has committed to Illinois, Reiser, a junior, is just starting to make visits. “We’re pretty good friends,” Smith said. “He said something today and I said, ‘Let’s go do it.’ He’s a great runner. I told him I really want him at U of I next year.” Huntley’s Keagan Smith also took AllState honors in Class 3A with a 16th-place finish. In Class 2A, Crystal Lake Central’s Ryan Pitner took fifth and Woodstock’s Clark Brooks for Shaw Media Luke Beattie was 21st, both earning AllMcHenry’s Jesse Reiser sprints ahead of Downers Grove North’s Zack State status (top 25).

CLASS 4A HUNTLEY SUPERSECTIONAL

South’s banner season

Don Lansu for the Northwest Herald

Crystal Lake South volleyball players celebrate their Class 4A Huntley Supersectional victory over Lake Zurich on Saturday. The Gators qualified for the state tournament.

Gators defeat Lake Zurich, qualify for state for first time since 1996 By MAUREEN LYNCH sportsdesk@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – Every day before practice, Crystal Lake South’s volleyball players glance up at the state series banners lining the gym and note the year 1996. Most of the girls on this year’s Gators team were either not born or much too young to remember South’s last trip to state. To this Gators team, 1996 is vintage. On Saturday night, what was old became new again.

Scoreboard Saturday’s championship Crystal Lake South def. Lake Zurich, 25-18, 25-18

South will play Benet at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the state semifinals in Normal.

As soon as Lake Zurich’s final serve hit the middle of the net and gently bounced back onto the Bears’ side of the court, the Gators

put Crystal Lake South’s program back on the state map. South beat Lake Zurich, 25-18, 25-18, to win the Class 4A Huntley Supersectional and earn a trip to the state semifinals. The Gators will play Benet at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Illinois State University’s Redbird Arena in Normal for a chance to play in Saturday’s state championship match. “There’s a lot of history up there with Crystal Lake South, and in recent years, there hasn’t been that presence,” South coach Jorie Fon-

tana said. “This was something we knew we wanted to accomplish, and it’s awesome to see it come true.” South’s determination was clear from the outset Saturday. The Gators (37-3) never trailed the Bears (35-5) in Game 1 and rolled out a 3-0 lead behind kills from Sara Mickow, Avalon Nero and Nicole Slimko. South jumped ahead by seven, 17-10, after a 7-1 run that featured kills from Slimko and Nero and three Bears errors.

VIEWS Tom Musick

Rooting for C-G seniors was easy CARY – Let’s begin with a grammar lesson. Word: Roothog (v.) Definition: To crouch low, particularly on the defensive line, and de-root an opponent, briefly separating his cleats from the surface of planet Earth. Example: Whoa, Jimmy just roothogged that offensive lineman! Origin: “We just kind of made it up,” Cary-Grove senior Emerson Kersten said. Got it? So now you’ll understand this statement: Despite a disappointing loss Saturday against Boylan, the hardworking Trojans roothogged all expectations this season. C-G always seems to be good at football, and they were again this season, winning seven games to earn a No. 9 seed in the IHSA Class 6A playoffs. But the Trojans ran into a tough opponent in No. 1 seed Boylan (11-0), which overcame a halftime deficit and a late charge by the Trojans to hang on for a 17-10 win. In any year, C-G’s deep playoff run would have been impressive. But this season, with only 14 seniors on a roster of 51? Really impressive. C-G coach Brad Seaburg asked for big things from his small group of seniors, who had advanced to the state championship game as juniors a year earlier. Seaburg said it was highly unusual to have so few seniors, but the group embraced its leading role.

CLASS 6A: PRAIRIE RIDGE 21, MARMION 20

PR’s Meikel grabs glory; Wolves in quarterfinals By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – With less than two minutes dividing Prairie Ridge from a berth in the Class 6A state quarterfinals or the end of its season, Brett Covalt hadn’t yet completed a pass. The Wolves had stuck closely to their triple-option offense, which had staked them to a two-touchdown lead. But now, needing to cover 60 yards in less than two minutes, Prairie Ridge had to suddenly shift over to the two-minute offense it works on at the end of nearly all of its daily practices. That scheme includes a slant go-route that the Wolves keep in their pocket, knowing its there if need be. Covalt got the Josh Peckler for Shaw Media call to put the play into action and lofted Prairie Ridge’s Danny Meikel catches a pass for a touchdown to tie the a 28-yard pass to a back-pedalling Danny score in the final minute of the fourth quarter Saturday against Marmion Meikel whose touchdown catch with 59.2 in Crystal Lake. The ensuing extra point gave the Wolves a 21-20 victory. seconds left gave Prairie Ridge a dramatic

21-20 win over Marmion on Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Wolves (7-4) advance to face No. 1-seeded Boylan (11-0), which knocked off Cary-Grove, 17-10, in another Saturday second-round game. The quarterfinal game will be in Rockford at 1 p.m. Saturday. “It was just do-or-die,” Meikel said. “We were just thinking of our community, our teammates. We just wanted to win the game. We weren’t ready to go home yet.” Prairie Ridge never trailed until the final minutes when Marmion (8-3) took a 2014 lead on Brock Krueger’s 4-yard quarterback keeper. The Cadets, which had only 32 yards of offense in the first half, staged a fourth quarter comeback, tying the game on Krueger’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Josh Meyers with 7:25 remaining.

3. What do you like most about competing? The push. You can’t push yourself as much as your opponent does.

4. What was the last really good movie you saw? “Warrior.” We watched it in the high school theater Friday night as a team. If you could get an endorsement deal with a 5. sporting goods company, which one would it be? Definitely Nike. They make everything.

Peyton Schneider School: Harvard Year: Junior Sport: Football, basketball and baseball

1. What would you do for a Klondike bar? If it’s an Oreo Klondike, absolutely anything.

n Tuesday, the Woodstock School Board will hear a presentation on its high schools leaving for the Fox Valley Conference for the “creation of and participation in a new athletic conference.” That is what we know. Below, sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss what that could mean.

Styf: Next fall, Prairie Ridge joins the FVC Fox and Johnsburg is gone to the Big Northern Conference East. That makes for a very tough conference competitively for both Woodstock and Woodstock North. In their eyes, though they are refusing to talk at this point, I’m sure they see themselves fitting in better competitively with schools like Richmond-Burton, Harvard, Johnsburg and Marengo than staying with the Grayslakes, Crystal Lake Central and Prairie Ridge. Musick: At least for now, I would say they are correct in that assumption. I know that schools can develop strong athletic programs over the course of time, but it seems as though the addition of Woodstock North really thinned the athletic talent pool at both schools. Styf: The crazy part is that we seem to be changing athletic conferences every year now. It also would bring up an issue for the FVC. And it will bring the Marian Central question into play again. If both Woodstocks leave, and if they were part of the opposition to having Marian Central in the FVC, maybe that conversation changes as well. And yes, I’m getting ahead of myself here. I get that. Musick: It’s getting to be like college conferences. I have no idea which teams are in the Big Fourteen Conference or the Made In America Conference or whatever else belongs to the NCAA these days. But yes, I follow your bouncing ball of thought, and I see how you might think that the de-Woodstocking of the FVC might open the door once again for Marian Central to join. I don’t think they should be allowed to do so (receiving angry letters in 3, 2, 1...), but I suppose the sun would continue to rise either way. Styf: You have to think this will mean gutting the BNC East, which has more than three handfuls of teams right now. Instead of adding the Woodstocks and bumping up to 18, the Woodstocks look like they want to start something of their own with other schools looking to get out of that behemoth. My main hope is that local schools continue to play local schools. As long as this doesn’t mean someone gets left out who has to start playing crossovers at Geneseo, I am good with it. Musick: If you’re Woodstock or Woodstock North, do you make the leap or do you try to stick it out in the FVC? Because if they go on to win trophy cases full of division titles in all sports in the FVC, that would be really impressive. But if they go on to dominate (or at least play well) in their new do-it-yourself conference, then it wouldn’t be nearly as impressive, would it? Styf: It makes sense to jump, at this point, if you are both. It just isn’t the right place competitively for them. They won’t compete with the D-155 schools. And why are they driving to Grayslake? Go, find yourself the right home. Then stay for awhile. Musick: No matter what, I think the Woodstock vs. Woodstock North rivalry will be strong for years to come. I was at the crosstown rivarly game in late September to see a 22-21 win by Woodstock North, which went for two and won the game. So whether the schools are down with FVC (yeah, you know me) or not, I’m sure we’ll see more Woodstock-based highlights that involve something other than a groundhog.

Former Cary-Grove standout Eric Aguilera was recently tabbed by Baseball America as the top power-hitting prospect drafted by the Los Angeles Angels in the 2013 Draft. Aguilera hit .306 with 10 home runs and 53 RBIs in his first season with the Angels’ Pioneer League affiliate in Orem, Utah. Aguilera was a 34th-round pick after finishing his college career at Illinois State, where the 23-year-old was a first-team All-Missouri Valley Conference selection as a right fielder before being moved to first base by the Angels.

I try not to focus on (accolades like the Baseball America designation) too much, but it means you’re doing something right. For me to get that, especially being a lower round draft pick, that gives you a little bit of confidence that you’ve got something that (the Angels) value and that you’ve got something potentially that they think you can do in the future for them. It’s something that you want to go to the off-season continuing to improve so you can come back and show them that last year wasn’t a fluke and that’s something you can continue to do on a regular basis.

When you’re a 34th-round draft pick, maybe there’s a little less expectation. Maybe they think you’re someone they can take a shot on and maybe you’re somebody really good and maybe you’re someone that doesn’t turn out the way they planned and they didn’t really waste a pick on you. So maybe there’s an opportunity to fly under the radar, but I don’t like to look it like that. I use it as motivation and play with a chip on my shoulder to show people that maybe I am a little more quality than a 34th-round pick and that there’s better things I can do. I think in this job path, you have to perform now. I don’t see it as being pressure. Hitting is something I like to do and it’s kind of my thing. I’m just looking to compete and build on last year. Maybe you realize (it’s a job) when you get that first paycheck. But at the same time, it’s still fun, you’re still playing a game. You don’t want to treat it too seriously. There’s a lot of ups and downs and if you get too serious and you get too business-like with it, you’re not going to have any fun and it’s not going to be something you want to continue to do.

It’s tough to sometimes separate the two (fun and the business aspect). But at the same time, you need to take a step back and realize that you’re doing something that a lot of other people wish they could be in your shoes. You need to realize how fortunate you are to be in the situation you’ve put yourself into and worked for. Sometimes, that’s tough – especially when things are going bad. But that’s when you have to take a step back and realize how much you have, that you need to have fun and it’s not really that much different than any other level you’ve played at. My first game, I was excited obviously. Yeah, there’s some nerves there, but there’s so much left to the season so that first at-bat really doesn’t mean anything. I hit a home run in my first (professional) at-bat and so I guess that’s a good way to start out. But you can only go down from there. It was kind of surreal and I guess maybe I haven’t even realized that [baseball] is what I do for a living. I’m just enjoying the ride and now that it’s the off-season, I’m going to do whatever I can to prepare myself for next season. I’m Just Saying is a regular Sunday feature. If there’s someone you’d like to see featured, write to me at jarnold@shawmedia.com or send me a message on Twitter @NWH_JeffArnold.

8SPORTS SHORTS Busch picks up 12th Nationwide Series victory Kyle Busch picked up his 12th win of the season Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway, leading a race-high 169 laps. Now, a year after he went winless in the Nationwide Series, Busch can match his career best 13-win 2010 season with a victory in next week’s finale at Homestead. Busch’s victory, coupled with Brad Keselowski’s 19thplace finish, sliced Penske Racing’s lead in the race for the owner championship to four

points over Joe Gibbs Racing. Keselowski’s day was ruined when contact from Brian Scott sent him spinning into the wall.

UCF’s WR carted off field after targeting hit ORLANDO, Fla. – UCF receiver Breshad Perriman was carted off the field on a stretcher after a hard hit over the middle early in the fourth quarter of the 19th-ranked Knights’ game with Houston. The sophomore was trying to catch a pass over the middle

from quarterback Blake Bortles when he was struck in the chest by Houston cornerback Zach McMillian with 12:52 to play in the game the UCF leading 13-7. McMillian was flagged for targeting on the play and ejected. McMillian attempted to return to the field minutes later in street clothes, but was ordered off the field by referees. Perriman had five catches for 60 yards before the play.

Vikings’ Simpson arrested on suspicion of DWI MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesota

Vikings wide receiver Jerome Simpson was released from jail Saturday on $12,000 bond, about seven hours after he was arrested overnight on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. According to the Minnesota State Patrol, a trooper responded to a report of a stalled vehicle in the lane on Interstate Highway 394 heading west out of downtown Minneapolis. As Simpson got out of a red Dodge Charger, the trooper observed him with watery eyes and slightly

slurred speech. Simpson said he was at the Pour House, a popular bar nearby, but denied that he’d been drinking.

EMU fired coach regrets ‘inappropriate language’ Former Eastern Michigan football coach Ron English expressed regret in an interview with The Associated Press for using “inappropriate language,” that included a homophobic slur during a film session with defensive backs last month. Eastern Michigan athletic

director Heather Lyke, in a statement released by the school Saturday, said she received audio of English using “wholly inappropriate language” while addressing the Eagles. English was fired Friday with a 1-8 record this season and an 11-46 mark over five years at the Mid-American Conference program. When the school made its decision, Lyke only said it was necessary to make a change in leadership of the football program. – Wire reports

GIRLS SWIMMING: FVC CHAMPIONSHIPS

Freshmen lift C-G to conference title By ROB SMITH rsmith@shawmedia.com

Clark Brooks for Shaw Media

Jacobs’ Lauren Van Vlierbergen holds off Oak Park-River Forest’s Mary Blankmeier to finish fourth Saturday in the IHSA Class 3A Girls Cross Country State Meet at Detweiller Park in Peoria.

IHSA GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY STATE MEET

Jacobs history rewritten Van Vlierbergen’s 4th-place finish best by a Golden Eagle By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com PEORIA – Jacobs junior Lauren Van Vlierbergen figured if she stuck with New Trier junior Mimi Smith as long as possible something good would happen. Eventually, Smith had a little too much for Van Vlierbergen, and everyone else, at the Class 3A girls race at the IHSA Cross Country State Meet at Detweiller Park. Smith ran down the leaders to win the race, but Van Vlierbergen hung to take fourth in 17:07, the highest finish by a girl in school history. “Mimi always likes to push and get back up there,” Van Vlierbergen said. “She’s so good. She’ll start behind and always catch up. I was going to hang with her. I wanted to stay with that top pack as long as I could and whatever happened happened.”

Smith won in 16:43, followed by Hinsdale Central’s Alexa Huff (16:45), Glenbard West’s Madeline Perez (17:03) and Van Vlierbergen. Van Vlierbergen almost got passed by Oak Park-River Forest’s Mary Blankmeier in the Maura final meters, Beattie but when Van Vlierbergen saw Blankmeier beside her she sped up to keep fourth. McHenry junior Lauren Opatrny took 16th in Class 3A to earn All-State status. In Class 2A, Woodstock’s Maura Beattie was fifth, Prairie Ridge’s Erin Wagner was ninth, Marengo’s Kitty Allen was 13th and Marengo’s Allie Sprague was 25th, all taking All-State honors. Marengo was fourth as a

team with 229 points. Crystal Lake Central (247) was seventh. Jacobs coach Kevin Christian lauded Van Vlierbergen’s effort. “She went after it, she took a chance,” Christian said. “Going out hard, going after the leaders. She took that chance of fading back deep, but she went after them to see what could happen. It’s really gutsy to do that. I’m very happy with the way she raced.” Opatrny just missed AllState last season, but not this time. “I knew it was going to be really fast,” Opatrny said. “I just wanted to focus on my race and who I could stick with. I’m so happy for my coaches who push me and my supportive teammates.” Beattie finished in 17:30 for fifth in Class 2A. “I’m kind of [happy],” she said. “It was a pretty good race.

I’m glad to have the opportunity to run here one last time.” It was Beattie’s third time as an All-Stater after taking seventh as a freshman and 17th last year. “It was a pretty good race and a pretty good time,” she said. Wagner’s first state appearance was everything she had hoped for and the first All-State girls performance in Prairie Ridge history. “I felt so strong the whole race,” Wagner said. “Everything felt awesome. I knew wanted top 25 since my sophomore year and I set my eyes on it even more this year. I’m very happy.” Allen was a little wobbly at the finish, but an All-Stater for the second time and led Marengo to its best finish. “I gave my full effort,” she said. “I had nothing left, I just felt exhausted. It was a really good race.”

CLASS 3A ANTIOCH SUPERSECTIONAL

Marian fades in Game 3, drops thriller By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO

Scoreboard

mmontemurro@shawmedia.com ANTIOCH – Marian Central never envisioned at the start of the season it would be on the verge of a Class 3A state semifinal berth. But against Chicago Payton on Saturday at the Antioch Supersectional the Hurricanes found themselves in that position, only eight points away from another trip to state. However, Marian made too many mistakes while clinging to a three-point lead late in Game 3 to cost them the win. Four consecutive hitting errors gave the lead to Payton, which held on to beat Marian, 25-23, 2225, 25-21. Marian (23-17) finished with 28 unforced errors in the match – 10 more than Payton. “I definitely thought we were going to make it to state, so this was a shock to all of us,” senior middle blocker Hannah Davis said. “[Payton] came out and had great defense. That was one of the best defensive teams I’ve seen all season.” Defensively, the Hurricanes weren’t as crisp with their passes, which limited their ability to run the offense through their middle blockers, who were nearly unstoppable. Davis had a match-high 10 kills, and sophomore middle blocker Rachel Giustino finished with seven kills and two blocks. Giustino’s kill that gave Marian a 1614 lead in Game 3 seemed like it would be a turning point for the Hurricanes. It capped a remarkable effort by Marian to

Marian Central’s Alex Kauffman goes for the block Saturday against Chicago Payton during the Antioch Supersectional. keep the ball alive during an extended volley. Twice the Hurricanes delivered a one-handed desperation dig to prevent Payton from scoring before Giustino delivered a kill that set off a celebration on Marian’s bench and forced Payton to take a timeout. “That was the point in the game we decided if she’s diving on the floor for this then we all need to be giving our all because that was too good of an up to not put everything into it,” Davis said.

The Hurricanes, though, were unable to build off the thrilling play. The Grizzlies tied and then took a 19-18 lead on Marian hitting errors. Marian twice pulled within a point, once trailing 21-20 after Sydney Nemtuda’s kill, but couldn’t complete the comeback. “Unfortunately we have the habit of continually getting down and fighting back and fighting back,” Marian coach Laura Watling said. “And that’s great for so long, then you eventually get to that point where you can’t fight back anymore. There’s only so much you can do, and this is one of those teams that saw that and took advantage of it.” Payton (27-11) keyed on senior outside hitter Frankie Taylor and limited her open looks at the net, though she exploited the Grizzlies’ blockers by tipping the ball to the far sideline for key points. Taylor finished with six kills, and Nemtuda had eight. “Toward the end of first game when we’re down and then we come back the momentum shifts in the second game a lot,” Taylor said. “ ... Once again we had to fight back and we did fight back in the second game.”

WOODSTOCK – CaryGrove demonstrated its present and likely future dominance in winning the girls swimming Fox Valley Conference Championships on Saturday at Woodstock North. The Trojans’ Becca Elrod won the 200-yard individual medley (2:14.05) and 500 freestyle (5:20.92) and won co-MVP honors with McHenry’s Michaela Matthys. Elrod, a freshman, also was named Newcomer of the Year. C-G brought just nine swimmers to the meet, three of them freshmen, to win with 215 points. The Jacobs-Hampshire co-op was second with 218, followed by Huntley (191) and Woodstock co-op (172). “We really wanted to do well as a team,” Elrod said. “We’re really proud that we won with nine swimmers.” After getting edged by Jacobs by two-tenths of a second in the 200 medley relay, the Trojans came back to win the next three events. Ashlynn Baker won the 200 freestyle (2:00.91), followed in second by teammate Karsen Seeger (2:02.30). Seeger and Baker, both freshmen, also were on the winning 200 and 400 freestyle relay teams. After Elrod’s win in the IM, C-G’s Hannah Weber won the 50 freestyle (25.29). Trojans coach Scott Lattyak said the difference in the meet was their ability to have both swimmers in an event do well.

C-G had eight top-three finishers and placed two in the top seven in four of the eight individual events. “That was a big confidence boost,” Lattyak said of getting off to a fast start. “We didn’t really have a whole lot of weak spots.” Also winning for C-G was Melissa Rose in the 100 breaststroke (1:05.91). Rose, who has qualified for state the past two seasons, shattered the state qualifying time by more than two seconds with a personal best time. Last year at state, her time would have gotten her into the consolation finals. With freshmen winning three events and helping to win two relays, C-G could be the team to beat in the FVC for the next several years. “It’s definitely a good sign,” Lattyak said. “We can expect big things in the future.” Matthys won the 100 backstroke (1:01.50) and swam under the state cut to win the 100 butterfly (58.76). Matthys, a senior, is looking to qualify for state for the first time. Even after swimming under the state cut several times this season, she does not want to get overconfident heading into the Vernon Hills Sectional on Saturday. “I have a lot more confidence because I’ve gotten it four times,” Matthys said. “But there’s always a little bit of doubt that you have to push through.” Also winning was Jacobs’ Nicole Sanchez in the 100 freestyle (55.23).

CLC’s Pitner 5th in 2A, All-State for 2nd time • CROSS COUNTRY Continued from page C1 “It’s unbelievable,” said Reiser, who lost only twice all season. “It’s a blessing and an honor to take second. I had no idea at the beginning of the season because so many things can change. It’s kind of my way to pay back my coaches [Beth Czubik and assistant Jim Wheeler] for training me and helping me be the best I can.” Pitner ran down Rock Island Alleman’s Zach Hird to grab fifth place with a furious kick in 14:59. Hird finished in 15:00. It was Pitner’s second All-State finish. “Honestly, I didn’t think I was catching him until halfway through the straightaway,” said Pitner, whose team finished seventh. “It didn’t look like he had much left and I was gaining on him consistently, so

I thought I better give it everything I got. It was the best race I’ve had, maybe not timewise or placewise, but effortwise. I don’t think I left anything out there.” Keagan Smith, a sophomore, surpassed his goal of making All-State. “Before today I thought if I had a great day I could break the top 25,” Smith said. “I was not thinking 16th place. I was hearing numbers thrown around during the race and eventually I heard 15th, so I wanted to stick with that. I told myself I had to get in there.” Beattie, also a sophomore, heard the place numbers being yelled out by fans on the course. “I came into the triangle [about halfway through] in 45th, so I knew I had it in me to be All-State,” Beattie said. “With one-half mile, it was 28th or so and I had a few people to catch.”

Gators’ defense tough • SOUTH Continued from page C1 Trailing 23-14, Lake Zurich capitalized on three South errors and a kill from outside hitter Sydney Glover to trail 23-18. But a Bears hitting error and middle hitter Katy Hoenle’s point off a joust gave South game point. “We were watching film and looking for their open spots,” Slimko said. “We knew we had to go there immediately and shut it down right away.” Lake Zurich led 2-1 in Game 2 on a kill from Allie McIlwain but never led again. Two kills from outside hitter Carly Nolan sparked the Gators’ offense, and South built a 12-5 advantage behind assorted Bears errors and kills from Mickow

and Nero. The Bears are known for bunch blocking, so South setter Cassy Sivesind was strategic with every pass. She distributed the ball evenly, and the Gators hit deep, often catching Lake Zurich out of system. Defensively, the Gators didn’t flinch. Nolan, Nero and Sivesind combined for 26 digs while defensive specialist Tori Falbo notched eight. A Lake Zurich hitting error put the Gators at match point, 24-16. The Bears scored two final points on a kill from Mallory Parsons and a South shot that went out of bounds, but Parsons’s final serve went into the net to give South the win. “It was unreal,” said Nero of the moment. “I’m still trying to come to the realization that we get to go to state.”

Wolves take advantage of Marmion’s missed PAT; Covalt guides winning drive • PRAIRIE RIDGE Continued from page C1 Now, trailing by six after Marmion missed its point-after attempt, Covalt started to move the Wolves down the field, locked into two-minute mode.

“We were comfortable,” Covalt said. “We knew what to do. I think we have a huge advantage on teams because they think we’re just run, run, run. But it’s good to have the unexpected.” Covalt hit Steven Ladd for an 11-yard pass, getting the Wolves into Marmion terri-

tory. A Covalt keeper and a Brent Anderson run got the ball to the 28-yard line, setting up the game-winning touchdown pass. Chris Eschweiler added the extra point to give the Wolves the lead back with less than a minute to play. “At this point, we’ve told

the guys, ‘You’ve only got to win by one (point), and I think they took it literally,” Prairie Ridge coach Chris Schremp said. “The second half of the season has been a test of our kids’ mental toughness, and I’m sure a lot of people counted us out when we got the ball that last minute,

thinking ‘Oh, they’re not going to be able to score throwing the ball.’ “But we made some plays when we needed to.” The late touchdown stunned Marmion, which couldn’t respond as the Wolves’ defense held, continuing the playoff run when

they’ll again be the underdog against powerful Boylan. “I don’t think a lot of people even chose us to win this game,” Anderson said. “But we’re used to that and we use it to our advantage. So we’ll be the underdogs again and keep playing with that chip on our shoulder.”

C-G tough to put away

CLASS 6A: BOYLAN 17, CARY-GROVE 10

Boylan rallies to nudge C-G

• MUSICK Continued from page C1 “They stuck with the program for four years, and they worked extremely hard,” Seaburg said. “They left a legacy here. We would have liked to have won more games than we did, but they did a great job of leading us this year.” And, as always, the group battled from whistle to whistle. That proved to be true against Boylan, which entered Saturday’s game with 49 wins in its past 50 games, including state championships in 2010 and 2011. Boylan featured a high-powered offense led by quarterback Demry Croft, but C-G made him and his teammates fight for every inch, every foot, every yard. “Even until the last couple of seconds, we went down fighting,” C-G senior defensive lineman T.J. Sorensen said. “We didn’t take any plays off. We definitely didn’t lose because of hustle.” The Trojans went down fighting, all right. But that wasn’t all. They went down hacking: Sorensen rushed from the edge, crashed into Croft and jarred the ball loose with a sack-fumble. But football can be a game of funny bounces, and this one found its way back into the arms of a Titan. “The whole game, we were preaching, ‘Strip the ball out, strip the ball out,’ and I saw my chance,” Sorensen said. They went down sacking: Senior defensive lineman Joey Maxwell burst through the line of scrimmage on multiple occasions, dumping Croft on third-and-long on one series and stuffing Boylan’s top running back for a 3-yard loss on another. “The key to getting back there was the thought in my mind, thinking this could be the last game of my life,” Maxwell said. They went down picking: With his team trailing by four points late in the third quarter, Kersten transformed into a one-man highlight factory. He blitzed, saw Croft release the ball, and raised his arms in time to deflect the pass and reel in his own deflection. “I realized that I could make the play,” Kersten said. With their seniors leading the way, the Trojans made all kinds of plays this season. So it was appropriate when Kersten and fellow senior Matt Hughes anchored the final huddle before the Trojans left the field. “Roothog on three!” Kersten screamed. “1, 2, 3...” “ROOTHOG!!!” “Trojans on three!” Hughes screamed. “1, 2, 3...” “TROJANS!!!”

By KEVIN MEYER kmeyer@shawmedia.com CARY – Cary-Grove’s defense dominated the first half of Saturday’s Class 6A second-round football game against undefeated Boylan, but the Trojans didn’t have enough to pull off the upset. Ninth-seeded C-G battled the whole way against the No. 1-seeded Titans, who rallied for a 17-10 victory, marking only the third time in the past 10 years the Trojans have not advanced to the third round of the playoffs. Boylan will host Prairie Ridge, a 21-20 winner over Marmion on Saturday, in the quarterfinals, likely at 1 p.m. Saturday. The Trojans (7-4) outgained the high-powered offense of Boylan 143-32 yards in the first half. Despite the stats pointing in the Trojans’ favor, their lead was only 3-0 at the break before the Boylan offense perked up. Boylan (11-0) scored on two of its first three possessions of the second half to take a 14-3 lead. “We were certainly expecting to be here, and we were expecting to win today, we just came up a little short,” C-G coach Brad Seaburg said. “I’m still very proud of the effort and of the guys; it was just one of those Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com times it didn’t work out.” Cary-Grove’s George Hartke catches a pass during the third quarter of Saturday’s second-round Class The key moment may have come late in the third quarter, 6A playoff game against Boylan in Cary. C-G lost, 17-10.

when right after the Trojans scored their first touchdown to make it 14-10, they got the ball back via an interception by senior Emerson Kersten deep in Boylan territory. However, the Trojans returned the favor to Boylan on a tipped interception to start the fourth quarter. “We didn’t really execute well,” running back Zach McQuade said. “We played tough, but they were the better team today. We can execute a lot more than what we showed. McQuade had 29 yards rushing and three catches for 42 yards. He also scored the only touchdown for C-G on an 18-yard pass from Jason Gregoire in the third quarter. Tyler Pennington had 104 yards rushing on 22 carries for the Trojans, which included a 46-yard run that helped set up the first-half field goal. After the game, junior defensive back Matt Sutherland took a knee alone on the field to collect his thoughts and to look forward to next season. “I was thinking about how it just slipped away, and what I have to do for next year to get back the championship again,” Sutherland said. “To help these seniors fulfill their dream, through me, that they can’t anymore. I have them right here [points to heart], and I’m going to win it for them next year.”

CLASS 5A: MONTINI 40, MARIAN CENTRAL 7

Montini QB makes Marian pay for mistakes By ANDREW HANSEN anhansen@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The loss hurt for Marian Central, but especially because of who handed it to them. The ninth-seeded Hurricanes (8-3) lost, 40-7, to top-seeded Montini in the second round of the Class 5A playoffs Saturday. The loss marks the fifth straight season that the Broncos have eliminated Marian from the playoffs. “It’s demoralizing,” Hurricanes tight end Tanner Spoden said. “It tears you down, and its so hard to come back from. The past five years it’s the same thing over and over.” “Anybody but them,” linebacker Steven Wember added. The Broncos took advantage of Marian mistakes, scoring touchdowns after two fumble recoveries and capitalizing on the field position Marian gave them after penalties. Montini had four drives start in Hurricanes territory, with two others

starting on their own 43- and 49-yard lines. The Broncos got points on all but four of their drives. Marian forced a fourth down on Montini’s first drive to start the game, but the punt return was muffed, setting up the Broncos on the Marian 38. Three plays later, Montini quarterback Alexander Wills hit receiver Leon Thornton for a 57-yard touchdown. On the Hurricanes’ second possession, Marian used a personal foul penalty on a punt to get the ball into Montini territory, but the Broncos recovered another fumble on their 26yard line. Twelve plays and 74 yards later, facing third down in the drive only once, Wills completed the second of his five touchdown passes on the day, hitting Tyler Tumpane for a 14yard score early in the second quarter. “You can’t make mistakes in a big game like this,” Hurricanes coach Ed Brucker said. “They’re going to hurt you and there was just way too

many.” Thornton added two more scores from Wills in the second and third quarters, finishing with 130 yards on nine receptions, with Wills going 23 of 41 for 306 yards. Connor Costello added 125 yards on six receptions, with the Broncos only rushing the ball 10 times in the first half. The Hurricanes finally got on the board in the fourth quarter, after a fake punt gave Marian the ball on the Broncos’ 15-yard line. Quarterback Billy Bahl found Jordan Niemeyer for a 15-yard touchdown on the first play. Bahl finished 13 of 26 passing for 158 yards, with running back Ephraim Lee adding 47 yards on 11 carries and three receptions for 27 yards. Receiver Brett Olson had 50 yards on four receptions. “I thought they came to play the first time and they stepped it up a whole nother level,” Spoden said. “We stepped it up too, but they brought it.”

Lions at Bears NOON SUNDAY, FOX, AM-780, 105.9-FM Shaw Media sports writer Kevin Fishbain breaks down this week’s Bears game: LIONS

NO FLINCHING UP FRONT Bears’ offensive line showing historical poise On third-and-10 with 9:37 to go in the second quarter in Week 4, Jordan Mills moved before the snap. It was the slightest of jumps, but enough for a false start, the Bears’ first of the season. The penalty led to a punt, and the Lions scored 21 points afterward en route to a 40-32 victory. The Bears play the Lions again Sunday, and since Mills’ false start, they have run 299 plays in four-plus games without committing another one. “[The offensive linemen] didn’t say anything about it,” Mills said about his miscue, then laughed, “And I didn’t bring it up.” Five offensive linemen that never played together before this past offseason, a brand-new coach and offensive system, yet this group doesn’t flinch. “It is unusual,” said offensive coordinator and O-line coach Aaron Kromer. “I just attribute it to their hard work and the confidence they have in what they’re going to get done.” Unusual? Try remarkable. Let’s put in perspective how impressive the Bears’ discipline up front has been through nine weeks. • The next-fewest amount of false starts in the league through nine weeks is four, by the Dolphins, Giants and Colts. • The Chiefs have 15 false starts. The undefeated Chiefs, that is. • Since 1999, the fewest number of false starts a Bears team has had through nine weeks is five, in 2000. • The Bears had 17 false starts through nine weeks last season, and 25 on the year. They’re on pace for two this season.

BEARS INSIDER Kevin Fishbain • In each of the past 11 seasons, the Bears have had at least 23 false starts. The fewest they had since 1999 came in 2001 when they had nine, and went 13-3. • As good as the Saints’ offenses were during Kromer’s time in New Orleans, they never had fewer than 11 false starts through nine weeks. At first, Bushrod wasn’t too excited to discuss the feat. Superstitious? Maybe, but he then explained that it’s a simple focus of the unit. “Those kinds of penalties, they hurt our team,” Bushrod said. “They’re going to happen through the course of the year. Bottom line, we’re just trying to eliminate negative plays.” Coach Marc Trestman made it a focal point during training camp to avoid pre-snap penalties. “It’s always been a point of emphasis. At this point, we’ve done pretty well,” he said. “I don’t think we can be evaluated until the season’s over because it’s how you look back at it.” In Bourbonnais, the group had its struggles with false starts and went on to commit eight in four preseason games. “We had a few in the preseason and a few in Bourbonnais. Just working on it each day, listening to Jay’s voice and not listening to anybody else’s voice [helped the improvement],” Mills said. “Coach always says to hear Jay’s voice and nothing else. It’s not going to be easy, but once you hear Jay’s voice, it should be fine.” Kromer said that the team has used a “blasting speaker”

BEARS

Bears’ rushing offense vs. Lions’ rushing defense Matt Forte rattled off 125 yards on 24 carries (5.2-yard average) against the Packers’ fourth-ranked run defense. Even Michael Bush had some nice runs. The Lions give up 4.7 yards a carry and struggle to set the edge against runs off left tackle, where Forte likes to go. In Detroit, Chicago fell behind early and couldn’t establish the run, but Forte did have a 53-yard touchdown run. Edge: Bears

Bears’ passing offense vs. Lions’ passing defense Most of Jay Cutler’s success throwing the ball at Ford Field came in the second half, when the Bears were behind. He threw three picks and was sacked three times. Cutler can take advantage of the Lions’ secondary, as long as he avoids Louis Delmas, but he has to avoid turnovers in his return. The edge the Bears’ receivers have over Detroit’s DBs pushes the pendulum their way in this matchup. Edge: Bears

Lions’ rushing offense vs. Bears’ rushing defense Well, this is pretty easy. Reggie Bush ran for 139 yards against the Bears in Week 4, and that defense had Nate Collins, D.J. Williams and Lance Briggs — this one doesn’t, and this one allowed 199 rushing yards to the Packers last week. Unless the Bears dramatically improve their tackling and gap fits, this is an area the Lions figure to exploit. Edge: Lions

Lions’ passing offense vs. Bears’ passing defense The Bears did hold Calvin Johnson to four catches for 44 yards on 10 targets in the previous meeting, but he’s coming off a 329-yard performance. Julius Peppers and Shea McClellin finally got going vs. Green Bay, but that was mainly against a backup quarterback. This is not as lopsided as the run game matchup, but Matthew Stafford and the second-ranked passing offense still have the advantage. Edge: Lions Sunday’s edge These two teams are very similar in statistical categories, and they are both well aware of the importance this game means to the NFC playoff race. One thing to remember about Week 4: that game got out of hand in a hurry, keeping the Bears from running their offense. Their quarterback is back, it’s their first home game in a month and there’s a revenge factor. Bears 30, Lions 28

At 5-3, the Bears are halfway to something. Halfway to the playoffs? Halfway to cleaning out their lockers? They’re halfway to something, at least. Of that, we can be halfway to certain. Let’s take a look at 10 players, some who have shined and others who have scuffled, with eight games down and eight games to go in the regular season.

The Bears might not be the most improved offensive line at Soldier Field on Sunday and might not feature the best rookies. The Lions lost 2012 left tackle Jeff Backus to retirement and right guard Stephen Peterman and right tackle Gosder Cherilus to free agency. But the Lions are No. 1 in the NFL protecting their quarterback with 2012 No. 1 pick Riley Reiff at left tackle, rookie third-round pick Larry Warford at right guard, and after losing Jason Fox and then Corey Hilliard to injuries, they now have undrafted rookie free-agent LaAdrian Waddle at right tackle.

JAY CUTLER To date: 1,658 passing yards, 12 TDs, 7 INTs On pace: 3,316 passing yards, 24 TDs, 14 INTs Cutler has not thrown 20 touchdown passes in a season since 2010, but he will snap that drought this year, provided that his groin is as healthy as he claims it is.

Pro Football Focus reports are not on par with professional scouts, but it is a valid source of comparison for players at the same position. Through week 10 PFF ranks Warford the 10th best guard in football with a 7.7 grade, while Kyle Long is ranked 39th at (-2.3). PFF ranks Jermon Bushrod 34th at tackle at 3.5, Reiff 35th at 2.5 and Jordan Mills 76th with its lowest grade at the position of (-23.5). It might also be worth noting PFF ranks Pittsburgh’s David DeCastro, who the Bears passed on at guard in the first round of the 2012 draft for Shea McClellin, third best in the league today at 11.3. – Hub Arkush, harkush@shawmedia.com

during practices to get used to the noise, something that shouldn’t be a problem the next two weeks back at Soldier Field. Trestman has been impressed with the growth he has seen since the summer from the O-line, but also showed a hint of superstition about discussing the team’s false starts. Well, false start. “They’ve been spending a lot of time together No. 1, working

with Jay and his snap count No. 2, and the job Aaron’s done coaching them is all part of the growing process,” he said. “I don’t want to talk too much about I just hope we continue to have that focus and concentration.”

How much difference can six days make in the fortunes of an NFL team? Heading into Monday night, Bears fans were jumping off the bandwagon at an impressive rate. Aaron Rodgers got hurt, the Bears pulled off a shocking upset, and now the Bears, Packers and Lions find themselves in a three-way dead heat atop the NFC North. All three are 5-3, and the Bears have a win over the Packers but a loss to the Lions, and the Packers hold a win over Detroit. Now, if the Bears can knock off the Lions – hey, they just soundly beat the Packers, didn’t they – they will find themselves with a firm grip on a division title with seven games to play, the hope of getting healthy and reinforcement in the form of Jeremiah Ratliff on the way. Now Jay Cutler is back, just 17 days after the injury, that would keep him out a bare minimum of four weeks. With the Bionic Man on their side, what more can go right for the Bears? Charles Tillman could prove he’s 100 percent for the first time since training camp, since he is the key to the Bears beating the Detroit Lions. Certainly, the Bears will have to find a way to deal with Reggie Bush, who torched them in their Week 4 meeting in Detroit, and Cutler will have to be a lot better

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush than he was in the first half last time. Nobody plays Calvin Johnson as effectively as Tillman, and he is going to have to do it again. Detroit will be coming off a bye, and Johnson’s most recent muscle memories will be of the secondbest receiving day in NFL history with 14 for 329 and a touchdown in their last-second victory over the Cowboys. Even if Cutler is 100 percent, is he ready to get into a shootout with Johnson and Matt Stafford? Stafford is on pace to throw for over 5,200 yards with 2,617 in his first eight games along with 16 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 94.6 passer rating. And the Lions’ offensive line is doing a great job of protecting him, allowing just 10 sacks the first half of the season. Bears fans can take solace in the fact the Bears sacked Aaron Rodgers and Seneca Wallace five times last week after managing just nine sacks in their first seven games. The Rodgers sack, however, was after Shea McClellin had been blocked out of the play and Rodgers ran back to him. All but the Corey Wootton sack were coverage sacks and now McClellin is

doubtful with a hamstring injury. The Lions are third in total offense, sixth in average gain per offensive play, first in percentage of QB sacks allowed, fifth in time of possession and sixth in points per game. They will pose a much stiffer test for the Bears defense than the Wallace lead Packers did. The matchup between the Bears’ offense and the Lions’ defense should be kinder to the Bears. Matt Forte had his best game of the year in Green Bay with 24 runs for 125 yards, 5.2 yards a carry, with one touchdown on the ground and five catches for 54 yards. The Lions may not have an answer. Detroit’s defense is porous, 25th in total defense, 30th in average gain per play allowed, 28th vs. the run, 30th sacking the quarterback and 18th in points allowed. The one category they are very good in is third-down efficiency where they’re second, but that’s because they so rarely get to third down with all the big plays they give up. I know the shootout we expected in Green Bay didn’t happen. But if Matt Stafford lasts four quarters, expect this to be a different story ,and the winner may well again be the last team to touch the ball.

Dolphins fend off questions KeepYour House Warm with about harassment scandal By STEVEN WINE The Associated Press

DAVIE, Fla. – The latest allegations from tackle Jonathan Martin went mostly unanswered Saturday by the Miami Dolphins, weary of fending off questions about the harassment case that has rocked the franchise. “I’m not going to give you nothing,” offensive lineman Nate Garner told a throng of reporters in a genial tone. “I’m only talking about football,” center Mike Pouncey said. “We have a game on Monday,” defensive end Cameron Wake added. “I’m not thinking about anybody that’s not in this locker room, and that’s the truth.” The Dolphins creating all the attention this week aren’t with the team. Martin left last week and alleges he was harassed by teammates, including guard Richie Incognito, who has been suspended. That leaves Miami (4-4) short-handed for Monday

night’s game at Tampa Bay (08), but blocking and tackling will offer a brief respite from the relentless revelations in the bullying scandal. “The pressure this has created from a media standpoint can really cause some problems,” tackle Tyson Clabo said. “But as far as the guys in this locker room, we all pretty much see this thing through the same set of eyes. We’re ready to go and try to change the narrative here to get back to football.” Martin, who’s in counseling for emotional issues, will discuss the case late next week with a special investigator hired by the NFL. Allegations by the second-year pro include a malicious physical attack by a teammate. “Since I’ve been here I haven’t seen anything like that,” said Clabo, who joined the Dolphins in May. Incognito has long been known for out-of-bounds behavior, including a May 2012 incident that surfaced this week. A police report said a

female volunteer at a Dolphins charity golf tournament complained that Incognito harassed her. “We were made aware of the incident and we took immediate action,” coach Joe Philbin said. “That’s all I’m going to say. ... Any club action we would take against any player would be kept private.” Philbin declined to say why he subsequently allowed Incognito to become a member of the player leadership council. Media interest remained high Saturday, with some 75 reporters and cameramen descending on the team complex. Half a dozen TV vans camped out across the street from the entrance, monitoring comings and goings. Adding to the commotion was a caravan of two dozen police motorcycles that pulled into the parking ramp adjacent to the practice field. They weren’t on scandal watch – President Obama happened to playing golf across the street.

INDIANA 52, ILLINOIS 35

Illini’s offensive explosion goes for naught Big Ten skid hits 19 By STEVE GREENBERG Chicago Sun-Times BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – So much good. So much more bad. In the end: so very Illinois. Think about what the Illini got done here on Saturday. Senior quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, a fouryear starter, set a career high with 450 yards passing. Senior wideout Steve Hull had the game of his life, catching nine balls for 224 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore running back Josh Ferguson had another outstanding effort, with 139 total yards and a score. For crying out loud, even sixth-year senior offensive tackle Corey Lewis got into the end zone. The veteran of three ACL tears and five knee surgeries fell on a fumble by Ferguson for a fourth-quarter touchdown. An extra point

later, the score was knotted at 35. On four separate possessions, the Illini rallied from seven points down to tie the score. There was no give-up in their giddyup. “I’m proud of them to do that,” said coach Tim Beckman, “down to the last tick of the clock.” And yet, when that last tick came, the scoreboard read 52-35 in favor of Indiana. The Illini (3-6, 0-5 Big Ten) have lost 19 consecutive Big Ten games. The Hoosiers (4-5, 2-3) get to do what everyone in this league does after playing Beckman’s team: celebrate. You’ll notice that every Illini positive listed above was about their offense. Once again, the defense had a calamitous day, giving up plays of 75, 64, 50, 41, 40 and 35 yards. In the time it took you to read those numbers, the up-tempo Hoosiers could run at least three plays. Cody Latimer caught 11 passes for 189 yards and three touchdowns. Tevin Coleman rushed for 215 yards (on only 15 carries) and two TDs, even better than

Indiana’s Cody Latimer (right) runs into the end zone to score as Illinois’ Caleb Day reaches out in an effort to pull him down Saturday during the second half in Bloomington, Ind. Indiana won, 52-35. Stephen Houston’s 150 yards (on 17 carries) and two TDs. Those numbers are crazy. The Hoosiers are a talented offensive team, but no one’s that good.

“Any time a team goes fast and tries to tempo you, you’re going to have some mistakes,” defensive lineman Houston Bates said. When this Illini defense

takes the field, you’re going to have some mistakes. Where’s the improvement Beckman keeps talking about? The Illini had three sacks and actually won the turn-

over battle for a change – two to one – but it didn’t help them. They went for it on fourth down when they shouldn’t have, didn’t go for it on fourth down when they should have, and had a ridiculous failed attempt at a fake punt. “Heck, if it would’ve worked,” Beckman said, “we’d all be smiling now.” That’s assuming they wouldn’t have lost the game anyway, which they probably would have. All of this reflects poorly on Beckman, who’s far more involved with the defense than he is with the offense. Of course, those fourth-down and fake-punt decisions fall directly on him. And defensive coordinator Tim Banks must not be enjoying himself very much, either. “It’s frustrating, it really is,” Banks said. “This is uncharted territory for me.” But it’s same-old, sameold for the Illini. There were many good things that happened here, but in the end they didn’t matter. It all simply felt bad, yet again. Some guys just can’t win.

PITTSBURGH 28, NOTRE DAME 21

No. 21 Badgers ground BYU

Pittsburgh upsets Irish

The ASSOCIATED PRESS MADISON, Wis. – James White ran for two touchdowns and caught a pass for another score, and Wisconsin stalled BYU’s fast-paced offense. White finished with 147 yards rushing, while Chris Borland looked just fine coming back from a hamstring injury in flying around the field for 13 tackles and two sacks for the Badgers (7-2). Kyle Van Noy went stepfor-step with Borland in a matchup of star linebackers

with eight tackles and an interception for BYU (6-3). Taysom Hill threw two touchdown passes to Cody Hoffman, but the dual-treat quarterback was held in check by Wisconsin pressure. White locked up the win with his third score on a 14yard run with 13:51 left in the fourth for a three-possession lead. Iowa 38, Purdue 14: At West Lafayette, Ind., Jordan Canzeri ran for a career-high 165 yards on 20 carries to help the Hawkeyes defeat the Boilermakers.

Nebraska 17, Michigan 13: At Ann Arbor, Mich., Tommy Armstrong Jr. threw a left-handed, 5-yard shovel pass to Ameer Abdullah for a go-ahead touchdown with 2:03 left and Nebraska’s defense made enough stops to seal a win over Michigan. Minnesota 24, PSU 10: At Minneapolis, David Cobb carried 27 times for 139 yards and a touchdown, and Minnesota held Penn State scoreless over the final 33-plus minutes to grind out a victory, the fourth in a row for the Golden Gophers.

TOP 25 FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

No. 1 Alabama overwhelms LSU The ASSOCIATED PRESS TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – AJ McCarron threw three touchdown passes, T.J. Yeldon ran for 133 yards and two scores and No. 1 Alabama overwhelmed No. 10 LSU 38-17 Saturday night. The Crimson Tide (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) turned to power football to take control of a game that was tied early in the third quarter. Yeldon carried 18 times in the second half, 25 overall, after catching the game-winning touchdown pass in last season’s meeting with the Tigers (7-3, 3-3). Alabama scored the final 21 points to brush aside its first challenge since Game 2 against Texas A&M. McCarron was a workmanlike 14-of-20 passing for 179 yards, letting Yeldon, Kenyan Drake and their blockers assert control. Zach Mettenberger completed 16 of 23 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown but was also sacked four times. It was the most points Alabama has scored against LSU since a 41-12 victory in 1947.

No. 3 Florida State 59, Wake Forest 3: At Winston-Salem,

N.C., Jameis Winston threw two touchdown passes, and Florida State (9-0, 7-0) tied a school record with six interceptions as it clinched ACC a championship game berth with a win over Wake Forest (4-6, 2-5).

MIDWEST BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Collins coaches team to win in debut The ASSOCIATED PRESS EVANSTON – Chris Collins won his coaching debut for Northwestern as Drew Crawford scored 25 points to help the Wildcats beat Eastern Illinois 72-55 in their season opener on Saturday. Clapping his hands at times and consistently barking out instructions, Collins was a ball of energy while standing in front of the Northwestern bench for most of the night. The 39-year-old Collins, who grew up near campus in suburban Northbrook, pumped

his right arm after JerShon Cobb came up with a big steal that led to a layup for Dave Sobolewski at the beginning of the second half.

Drake 61, Illinois-Chicago 59: At Chicago, Richard Carter scored a career-best 38 points and Drake hung on to escape Illinois-Chicago with a victory for new coach Ray Giacolett.

DePaul 96, Grambling St. 58: At Chicago, Freshman Tommy Hamilton IV scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in his college debut to help the Blue Demons to a

victory over Grambling State in their season-opener at McGrath-Phillips Arena.

Ohio St. 89, Morgan St. 50: At Columbus, Ohio, Shannon Scott scored a career-high 16 points and LaQuinton Ross, starting for the first time as a junior, had 14 points and a personal-best 11 rebounds to lead the Buckeyes past Morgan State. Penn State 74, Wagner 62: At State College, Pa., Tim Frazier scored 25 points and D.J. Newbill added 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Penn State past Wagner.

By WILL GRAVES The Associated Press PITTSBURGH – James Conner ran for two short touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with 9:36 remaining, as Pittsburgh upset No. 24 Notre Dame 28-21 Saturday night. Tom Savage passed for 243 yards and two scores to Devin Street as the Panthers (5-4) took advantage of some sloppy play by the Fighting Irish (7-3) to end Notre Dame’s four-game winning streak. The Irish turned it over three times, including a pair of fourth-quarter interceptions by Tommy Rees. Rees completed 18 of 39 for 318 yards and two touchdowns but was picked off by Pitt’s Ray Vinopal on consecutive passes in the final quarter. TJ Jones caught six passes for 149 yards and a touchdown and ran for another but Notre Dame’s hopes for a Bowl Championship Series bowl bid vanished in a sloppy final 15 minutes. The previous five meetings between the two schools had been decided by six points or less, including a triple-overtime escape by the Irish last year in South Bend that kept their perfect regular season alive. The Panthers blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead and a short field goal in overtime that would have pulled off the upset. This time, Pitt kept its composure and provided coach Paul Chryst with his first signature win since taking over nearly two years

Notre Dame was driving for a go-ahead score early in the fourth quarter when Rees floated a pass to the back of the end zone that Vinopal leapt in front of to end the threat. Pitt punted, but Rees gave it right back. He tried to go deep down the seam but overshot his receiver. The ball sailed into Vinopal’s hands and the safety returned it 45 yards to the Notre Dame 5. Two plays later Conner ran up the middle to put Pittsburgh in front to stay. The Irish drove to the Pitt 38 on its final drive, but Rees’ fourth-down pass to DaVaris Daniels was knocked away by Panthers defensive back Anthony Gonzalez.

The Irish appeared to be in control when Rees hit Jones for an 80-yard touchdown to make it 21-14 with 3:29 left in the third quarter. The Panthers responded immediately. Savage found Street for a 63-yard score to tie it at 21. The Irish drove the length of the field but stumbled when Rees threw his first pick to Vinopal. Notre Dame never recovered, ending a streak of 10 straight victories in games decided by a touchdown or less. The Irish took an early 7-0 lead when a fourth-down conversion in Pitt territory set up a 10-yard touchdown pass from Rees to Daniels, one of the better throws by Rees in windy conditions that made any pass more than a handful of yards downfield treacherous. Pitt’s offense, which hasn’t been the same since Savage sustained a concussion in a win over Virginia on Sept. 28, sprang to life with some help from the Irish. Notre Dame defensive end Stephon Tuitt was ejected for targeting when officials ruled he led with his helmet while going to tackle a scrambling Savage early in the second quarter. Eight plays later the game was tied when Savage found Street for a 3-yard score. Notre Dame pushed back in front midway through the second quarter when a short punt by the Panthers gave the Irish the ball at the Pitt 39. Rees hit Ben Koyack with a 38-yard gain to the 1 and Jones eluded two Pitt defenders on third-and-goal to make it 14-7 at the half.

Hawks’ stars shine in victory over Stars

goals and seven assists, and Hossa has four goals and four assists. “To see the scoring across our line – Hoss is getting a few, Sharpie’s getting a few here and there, even myself picking up a couple garbage goals here and there – always feels nice,” Toews said. “It doesn’t matter who we play. If we’re matched up against their team’s top line, we want to be competitive and create chances out of working hard and taking shots and recovering pucks down low. We’re just finding that consistency and we’re starting to build that chemistry as a line.” Perhaps even more encouraging for the Hawks, they killed off all six of the Stars’ power plays, good enough to

lift them out of dead last in the league on the penalty kill. “It’s definitely getting better and better,” Hossa said. “We’re getting on the same page.” The Hawks twice erased one-goal deficits – Hossa batting in a tremendous behindthe-net feed from Toews to offset Cody Eakin’s goal, and Toews scoring on the doorstep off a Kane pass to offset a Tyler Seguin goal. That tally briefly tied Toews with Kane for the team lead with nine goals, but just as he did Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets, Kane quickly took care of that by scoring himself – this one just 23 seconds into the Hawks’ lone power play of the game, late in the second period.

Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane (left) celebrates his goal with defenseman Duncan Keith during the second period Saturday against the Dallas Stars in Dallas.

DALLAS – The season began with the promise of Bryan Bickell scoring 30-plus goals on a top line as the muscle alongside Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, while the superstar duo’s innate chemistry would lead them to even loftier heights. When that didn’t work, coach Joel Quenneville reunited the top line of Brandon Saad, Toews and Marian Hossa, the trio that led the Blackhawks to the Presidents’ Trophy last season. Well, the third line’s the charm. The new top unit of Patrick Sharp, Toews and Hossa has been almost unstoppable, and led the Hawks to a 5-2 victory against the Dallas Stars on Saturday night. The Hawks have scored 27 goals in the six games since that line was assembled, igniting an offense that had been sputtering early in the season. And no, Quenneville’s not kicking himself for waiting until the 12th game to find the right formula. You never know just who’s going to click. “I’m not complaining,” he said with a smile. “We try things. You probably said, ‘Why didn’t we try Bicks, Kaner and Jonny in the playoffs earlier?’ Over the course of the season, you’ll try things and some lines get hot and some lines jell a little bit later.” Hossa had two goals, Sharp tied his career high with four assists, and Toews and Kane each had a goal and an assist as the Stars’ threegame winning streak came to an end. Since their first game as a unit – Oct. 28 at Minnesota – Toews has five goals and three assists, Sharp has three

By JENNA FRYER The Associcated Press AVONDALE, Ariz. – Roughly two months into the season, Mark Martin was having a conversation with Matt Kenseth about the fast start to Kenseth’s year. Kenseth had grabbed two wins in his first eight races with Joe Gibbs Racing, and Martin believed his former teammate could have legitimately won all eight of the events. “I expected him to win races and be awesome and be Matt Kenseth, but the start he had, he could have won them all. Bar none. That was staggering,” Martin recalled. “And I remember last year when he was getting ready to leave, he was scared to death. I liked that about him. I liked the fact that he was scared.

“So I like what I see right now. He’s living a dream and hitting his full potential, and you don’t always get an opportunity to hit your full potential.” It truly is a dream year for Kenseth, who has won a career-best Matt Kenseth s e v e n r a c e s after jumping to JGR following 16 years driving for Jack Roush. Now, 10 years after winning the only Cup championship of his career, Kenseth is in the thick of another title race. He goes into the penultimate race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway trailing Jimmie Johnson by seven points in the standings.

It’s not a surprise that Kenseth is in the championship picture. After all, he finished second to Johnson in 2006 and has made the Chase every year since its 2004 launch except for 2009 – the year he won the season opening Daytona 500 and the next week’s race at California. What is a surprise is seven wins from a driver who has built a career on consistent finishes. Kenseth’s previous best was five wins in 2002, and he had settled in as a driver content to win a handful of races a year. So if you’d asked him in December, as he climbed into his new No. 20 Toyota for JGR for the first time, if he ever imagined what was to come, there’s no way Kenseth could have known the spoils ahead of him this season.

Ex-Baxter boss touts leadership CRYSTAL LAKE – Leaders must be reflective, confident, humble and able to read situations from all sides. That was the message former chairman and CEO of Baxter International Harry Kraemer Jr. had for local leaders at the McHenry County Economic Development Corp. annual dinner Tuesday. Kraemer is an executive partner at Madison Dearborn Partners LCC, clinical professor of management and strategy at Kellogg School of Management and a Sage Products board member. His speech, based on the ideas detailed in his book, “From Values to Action: The Four Principles of Values-Based Leadership,” focused on what modern business leaders need to do to stay ahead in a competitive, global economy. “I would guess that most people in this room have at least two or three times the number of things you’d like to do than you’re ever going to get done,” he said. “When you think about all of the things you’d like to do, and the fact that there really isn’t that much time, what we typically do is we just go faster and faster. ... But have we confused activity and productivity?” To manage in today’s fast-paced, digitally-connected world, Kraemer said he relies on self-reflection. “Ask yourself a couple of basic questions. ... What are my values? What do I stand for? What really matters? What kind of example do I want to set? What kind of leader do I want to be?” he said. “By taking the time to think that, it really does put a lot of things in focus.” Kraemer spends 15 minutes each day reflecting on what he said he was going to do that day, what he actually did, what he was proud of, what he wasn’t proud of, and what to do differently in the future based on what he learned that day. Such self-reflection helps separate what’s important from what’s urgent, he said. Kraemer emphasized the importance of balance and perspective for leaders. “If I’m the leader of a team, I will make the final decision because I’m the leader, but I’m going to make a much better decision if I understand what each person thinks,” he said. “Most people who are truly leaders recognize they usually don’t come up with the answer, but they recognize the answer when they hear it.” To get that kind of perspective, leaders must foster open, respectful communication in the workplace. Failure to do so, not only can stifle innovation, but ruin companies, Kraemer said. “Communication is huge,” he said. “I think more organizations fail because of a lack of effective communication than anything else.” Leaders must have what Kraemer called “true self-confidence” – the ability to recognize their own strengths and weaknesses. “You don’t have to know everything, but you have to know who does know,” he said. Kraemer’s fourth principal of leadership is humility. As the CEO of Baxter, he said at least once a week he would “walk up the other entrance into building five, fourth floor, third cubicle from the northeast wall” to remember where he got his start. “Don’t forget where you came from,” he said. He pointed out that his career was helped along not only by his own skills and hard work, but also by luck, timing, team and providence. Without those four things, Kraemer said he may have ended up on the cleaning crew rather than the C-suite. • Brett Rowland is Business Journal editor. Email him at browland@ shawmedia.com.

Marvin’s Toy Store owner Lori McConville helps Abby Brock, 9, and her mother, Denise Brock, as they shop at Marvin’s in Crystal Lake. McConville is among a growing trend of small business owners who do not pay themselves a salary.

Small business owners sound off on salary report Fewer paying themselves according to American Express survey By KEVIN P. CRAVER

By the numbers

kcraver@shawmedia.com The most recent survey of small businesses by American Express revealed a mixed bag of economic news for Illinois. But some McHenry County small businesses are bucking the trend and enjoying better times than what the results show. The twice-yearly nationwide survey of 1,000 businesses with fewer than 100 employees revealed that the number of Illinois owners who pay themselves a salary has plummeted over the past year from almost twothirds to just over half. That salary, too, shrank significantly – it averages $60,000 now, compared with $83,900 last year. Also down from past surveys is hiring. Twenty-nine percent plan to hire over the next six months, down significantly from 45 percent this spring and 40 percent in fall 2012. But times are good for Exceed Floor and Home in Crystal Lake and Huntley Gymnastics Academy. Exceed, which employs 10 fulltime workers, has been “in a hiring mode for the past two years” as business has grown, owner Haig Haleblian said. The business at 5186 Northwest Hwy. opened in 1993 and does flooring, countertops, cabinetry and plumbing work. “Our business is really, really good. but I work it really hard. I’m

Haleblian has been able to pay himself a salary since shortly after his business opened, and was somewhat surprised by the survey that half of Illinois small business owners are not. “I think maybe the first few months I started out I didn’t, but I’ve since been fortunate enough to do so,” he said. Times are good as well for Amy Krotser, owner and head coach of Huntley Gymnastics Academy. She opened the 10763 Wolf Drive busi-

ness two years ago and employs between 20 and 25 part-time and fulltime coaches. The academy has 700 students, and its official gymnastics team boasts 100 members. Times are good, she said, because her business is a niche market on which parents are willing to spend. “My business is doing very well – I have a different business, though. People stopped taking vacations, they drive cheaper vehicles, but they won’t take their kids out of gymnastics. I think people make their children a priority,” Krotser

A poll of Illinois small business owners by American Express revealed a mixed bag of economic news compared with last year: • Half are likely to pay themselves a salary, down significantly from 65 percent last year. • That salary averages $60,000 a year, also down significantly from $83,900 last year. • The number of businesses with cash-flow issues has dropped to half, compared to 64 percent a year ago. • Just under 30 percent plan to hire within the next six months, down from 40 percent last fall and 45 percent earlier this year. • They have experienced higher revenue growth on average – 14 percent – compared to a 10 percent average in the Midwest and nationwide.

said. Krotser pays herself a salary, but added that she pays all of her coaches more than what she takes home. Business owner Lori McConville wants to earn a salary, but anticipates that day is at least three years away.

Tipsy turkeys: Birds fed beer for flavor, size By HOLLY RAMER The Associated Press HENNIKER, N.H. – When it comes to pairing beer with poultry, Joe Morette isn’t too fussy. His turkeys will drink just about anything. Morette, who is raising about 50 Thanksgiving turkeys this year, has been giving his birds beer since 1993, when he and his workers popped open a few cans after work on a hot July day. A turkey knocked one over and started drinking, he said, and they’ve been sipping the suds ever since. Morette, who prefers serving the turkeys lager, insists the beer makes birds fatter, more flavorful and juicier. “Oh, yeah, it’s noticeable,” he said. “It’s not a strong, gamey flavor, it’s a nice turkey flavor.” Longtime customer Dan Bourque, a Manchester attorney, said he hasn’t had a bad bird yet from Morette. “We find the gravy is much darker,

and much tastier,” he said. “The bird overall has a slightly different taste that is very appealing.” The animal rights group PETA said turkeys shouldn’t be fed beer and that “farmers across the country use questionable practices to keep costs down or to alter the taste of animals’ flesh because their priority is profit, not the animals’ welfare.” But a poultry expert with the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension said it is unlikely the birds are suffering. “I don’t know exactly how much beer each turkey is consuming, but it would have to be a lot in order for it to kind of have the same effect as too much beer on people,” said Carl Majewski, field specialist in food and agriculture. “I imagine it’s not enough to really make ‘em tipsy or anything like that. It’s just enjoying a beer with their meal. Why not?”

An overview of laws regarding the federal gift tax A gift is any transfer for which you receive nothing, or less than fair market value, in return. Fair market value is the price at which an asset would sell when there is a willing and knowledgeable buyer and seller. For example, if you hand someone a check for $1,500, that is a gift. And if your house would sell for market price $250,000 and you sell it to your child for $50,000, you have made a $200,000 gift to your child.

taxes, called the annual gift tax exclusion, is $14,000 for 2013 and 2014. This amount can be given away by an individual in any given year to an unlimited number of people free from any federal gift tax consequences. For example John could give Sue, Bill, Joe and Sally each $14,000, and it would not affect his lifetime gift tax exemption.

Taxable gift

Annual gift tax exclusion

A taxable gift is a gift that is more than the annual gift tax exclusion. If you make a taxable gift – for example, you give your son $20,000 to help him buy a house – then you will need to file a gift tax return (IRS Form 709). The taxable gift will be the difference between the total gift of $20,000 less the annual exclusion of $14,000 – or $6,000. The taxable gift will reduce your lifetime gift tax exemption from $5.25 million to $5.244 million. No gift tax will be due until you have exhausted your lifetime gift tax exemption. A taxable gift also can occur by funding a trust, forgiving a debt, assigning a judgment, or assigning the benefits of a life insurance policy.

The amount of a gift that is annually exempted from federal gift

Year-end gifts

Lifetime gift tax exemption Under current law, each of us can give away or leave up to $5.25 million in 2013 and $5.34 million for 2014 without owing federal gift and estate tax. This amount is referred to as the lifetime gift tax exemption. The lifetime gift tax exemption is tied directly to the federal estate tax exemption so that if you gift away any amount of your lifetime gift tax exemption, then this amount will be subtracted from your estate tax exemption when you die.

ACCOUNTING Michael Flood A check will be considered a completed gift for gift-tax purposes on the date the recipient of the gift deposits the check or presents the check for payment, as opposed to the date the check was written by the donor. As a result, you may want to make annual exclusion gifts as early in the year as possible. This will minimize the possibility of the gift not being complete until the following year.

are tax-free, as long as he or she is a U.S. citizen. If you or your spouse make a gift to a third party, the gift can be considered as made one-half by you and one-half by your spouse. This is known as gift-splitting. Both of you must agree to split the gift. If you do, you each take the annual exclusion for your part of the gift. Currently, gift-splitting allows married couples to give up to $28,000 to a person without making a taxable gift. If you split a gift you made, you must file a gift tax return to show that you and your spouse agree to use gift-splitting. You must file a Form 709 even if half of the split gift is less than the $14,000 annual exclusion.

Indirect gifts An indirect gift may occur if you lend someone money and forgive an obligation to pay accrued interest on a loan, or if you make a below-market interest (or interest-free) loan. The lender is deemed to provide the funds to the borrower for payment of the interest, thereby creating a gift from the lender to the borrower and interest income to the lender.

Gifts to spouses All gifts you make to your spouse

Gift tax exceptions The gift tax does not apply to an amount you pay on behalf of an individual to a qualifying education organization as tuition for the education or training of the individual. The payment must be made directly to the educational institution. The gift tax does not apply to an amount you paid on behalf of an individual to a person or institution that provided medical care for the individual. The payment must be

made directly to the care provider.

Generation skipping transfer taxes (GSTs) The GST tax is imposed on direct transfers to beneficiaries more than one generation below that of the individual making the gift (transferor) – for example, to grandchildren – and on transfers involving trusts having beneficiaries more than one generation below that of the transferor. The GST tax is assessed in addition to any gift or estate taxes that apply to the transfer at the highest transfer tax rate (40 percent for 2013). Each individual transferor is allowed a lifetime GST tax exemption of $5.25 million in 2013 ($5.34 million in 2014), in addition to the lifetime gift tax exemption mentioned above. As with all tax matters, you might wish to consult a CPA or competent tax preparer to ensure you are compliant with the law. • Michael J.

McConville opened Marvin’s Toy Store, which sells toys that encourage children to use their imaginations, June 1 at 64 N. Williams St. in downtown Crystal Lake. McConville employs one full-time and three part-time employees. McConville and Haleblian credit the city of Crystal Lake for creating what they call a pro-business environment that helps people start up a business or grow an existing one. The city now boasts that every retail space on Williams Street in downtown is now

rented out. “The resources I got were at the local level,” McConville said. “Crystal Lake is organized and holds events to bring in customers. The city itself offered a grant for me to get started.” Haleblian shares her sentiments. He, like many people in the state’s business community, said that the state of Illinois needs to fix its business environment. “Dealing with the city of Crystal Lake is a complete joy.

Drinking beer not standard but could be beneficial for turkeys veterinarian who said that while giving beer to turkeys is not a standard protocol, hops could be beneficial for the intestinal tract,” Brock said in an email. Morette’s turkeys are not the first animals to consume alcohol. Japanese farmers have been said to feed cattle beer to stimulate their appetites. And a winemaker and farmer in the south of France

• TURKEYS Continued from page D1 Kathi Brock, national director of Humane Heartland, which oversees the treatment of farm animals, said that standards from the American Humane Association don’t prohibit serving beer to animals. “I consulted with an avian

8IN BRIEF

“Turkeys don’t seem to be the brightest, so they could stumble, and you wouldn’t know if they drank too much.” Joe Morette New Hampshire farmer have experimented with feeding cows the remainders of

pressed grapes. During one recent feeding, Morette’s birds dipped their beaks repeatedly into the foamy liquid in a watering trough. A few minutes later, at least one appeared rather dazed, with eyes narrowed to slits and beer dribbling out of its beak. But the rest seemed alert and no worse for the wear. “Turkeys don’t seem to be

the brightest, so they could stumble, and you wouldn’t know if they drank too much or not,” Morette said. Majewski said the additional calories and carbohydrates probably do make the birds a bit bigger, and like anything the birds eat, beer likely has some effect on flavor. Juiciness is another matter, he said. “I think it has as much to

do with how you cook it rather than what it’s been eating,” he said. “You can take a really well-fed bird and make it not very juicy.” Majewski, who brews beer at home, also raises chickens. But he has no plans to embrace Morette’s methods. “Any beer that we have is too good for them, and I’m going to drink it instead,” he said.

Teeth in a Day Procedure with All-On-Four Dental Implants

Okla. company to pay $6.4M in drilling probe NEW ORLEANS – An Oklahomabased drilling company has agreed to pay a $6.4 million criminal penalty to resolve a federal probe of allegations that its employees falsified records on a rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Helmerich & Payne International Drilling Company pleaded guilty Friday in New Orleans to a misdemeanor charge and was sentenced by a federal magistrate as part of a plea deal with Justice Department prosecutors. The Tulsa, Okla.-based company was charged in a court filing last month. Prosecutors said several employees working on the company’s rig in 2010 deliberately avoided testing valves on a key safety device because they believed they would leak. Then they allegedly created false testing records and provided them to rig inspectors in an effort to minimize downtime and reduce repair costs. The company fired four employees who allegedly played a role in falsifying test results and demoted another employee who also engaged in the conduct but reported it to the company, according to prosecutors.

Create a budget to stay on track financially Dear Dave, Do you have any tips for how a single person can stay on track with their finances? – Debbie

Dear Debbie, It’s really pretty simple. The first thing is the same advice I give to married couples, and that is to live on a monthly budget. Sit down at the end of each month and write down – on paper – all your expenses and income for the following month. When you think about it, budgeting really isn’t that difficult. Some of your expenses, like your rent or mortgage payment, will be the same. If you have a car payment (which I really hope you don’t), it will remain constant, as well. Things such as groceries and utilities may

fluctuate based on the time of year, but you can make a pretty accurate estimate by looking at past months. The second thing I’d recommend is that you find someone to be your accountability partner. It should be someone who is wise and good with money and a person who loves you enough to call your bluff or hurt your feelings a little when necessary. They can be a close friend, parent or even your pastor. Just sit down together over a cup of coffee once a month and talk about your finances. You could even go over your budget together line by line. Ideally, an accountability partner is someone who’s ahead of you on a particular journey and can help direct you along the path to wisdom. It’s their job to hold you accountable for what you’re doing and the decisions you’re making, for your

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey

Dear Eddie,

own good.

– Dave

Dear Dave, My daughter used to live an irresponsible lifestyle and was bad with money, too. While she was in college, she also took on $20,000 in student-loan debt. Since that time, she experienced a serious illness. She’s recovering now, and it has really changed her behavior and her outlook on life, spiritual matters and money for the better. I could pay off the loans for her, but I’m wondering if there’s a better way to help.

If I were in your shoes, and I had the means to pay off her studentloan debt without putting myself at risk financially, that’s exactly what I’d do. Sometimes, the best gift you can give a person is to let them wallow around for a while in the mess they made. Being forced to work your way out of bad decisions and irresponsible behaviors is a great remedy in lots of cases. But in this situation, with what you’ve told me about her previous health issue, and the fact that she’s now being responsible with money, behaving and making better life choices, I’d want her to be as free as possible as she takes up this new walk. My advice is to try and be a huge

blessing to your daughter. Right now, she’s a lot like the prodigal son. She’s come around in her thinking and realizes what’s right and what really matters. Give her the biggest hug she’s ever had, Eddie. Then, throw a party and write a check to knock out that student-loan debt! – Dave • Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

Tips for surviving Thanksgiving travel By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ The Associated Press NEW YORK – There’s not much good news for fliers this Thanksgiving. Airports will be packed, planes will have few – if any – empty seats, and you might sit apart from a loved one, unless you pay extra. During the 12-day Thanksgiving travel period, 25.1 million people are projected to fly, an increase of 1.5 percent from last year, according to Airlines for America, the industry’s trade and lobbying group. That would make this the busiest year since 2007, when an estimated 26 million people flew over the holiday period. The busiest travel day will be Dec. 1, with an estimated 2.56 million passengers, followed by Nov. 27, with 2.42 million passengers. In case you were wondering, the slowest travel day is Thanksgiving itself, with only 1.44 million people expected to fly. But don’t fret, there are some things you can do – in some cases paying a little extra – to make your trip more pleasant, or to at least buffer the damage if something goes wrong.

DELAYS • If you miss your connection – or bad weather causes delays – the airlines will automatically rebook you on the next available flight. However, with flights at near capacity, the next open seat could be several days away. • Don’t like the flight you’re rebooked on? Get in line to speak to a customer service representative. But also, call the airline directly. If the phone lines are jammed, try the airline’s overseas numbers. You’ll pay long-distance rates but might not have to wait. Finally, consider sending a Tweet. • Consider buying a one-day pass to the airline lounge. For one thing,

Travelers at O’Hare International Airport wait for ground transportation upon their arrival last November. During the 12-day Thanksgiving travel period in 2013, 25.1 million people are projected to fly, an increase of 1.5 percent from last year, according to Airlines for America. there are usually free drinks and light snacks. But the real secret to the lounges is that the airline staffs them with some of its best – and friendliest – ticket agents. The lines are shorter and these agents are magically able to find empty seats. One-day passes typically cost $50.

SEATS • If you and your loved ones don’t have seats together already, and don’t want to pay an extra $9 to $99 domestically for a “premium” coach seat, it’s very likely that you will sit apart. • Set up alerts for seat openings. ExpertFlyer.com offers free notifications when a window or aisle seat becomes vacant. For 99 cents, it sends

Mutual funds go from worst to first By STAN CHOE The Associated Press NEW YORK – Want to know which mutual funds are topping the performance charts this year? Check the ones that struggled last year. Consider the fund that’s leading all others. The Firsthand Alternative Energy fund (ALTEX) has nearly doubled this year, up 93 percent. The big jump, though, comes only after several rough years for the fund. Investors who bought it three years ago still haven’t made back all of their earlier losses, according to data from Morningstar. The sharp flip in performance is another example of how quickly fortunes can turn for mutual funds that focus on narrow segments of the market, whether it’s alternative-energy companies, Indian stocks or gold miners. Such funds offer the possibility of greater rewards, but they come at the price of potentially higher risk and expenses. Investors who want to concentrate on a particular part of the market are generally advised to do so as part of a larger, diversified portfolio. “The more narrowly focused a fund is, the greater the level of volatility there tends to be in its returns,” said Todd Rosenbluth, director of ETF and mutual fund research at

S&P Capital IQ. “This year’s winners are often next year’s losers, and sometimes last year’s losers are this year’s winners.” The big turnaround in performance for the Firsthand Alternative Energy fund wasn’t the result of an overhaul of its philosophy or process, said Portfolio Manager Kevin Landis. Many of the stocks that the fund owns also were in the fund last year, such as Power Integrations (POWI), a California company that makes chips used to convert highvoltage power. The reversal is due more to changing sentiment toward the alternativeenergy industry. “It’s funny, we almost couldn’t have picked a worse time to start an alternative energy fund,” Landis said. It started in late 2007, and it lost money in four of the ensuing five years as the global recession sapped markets and a glut of supply in solar equipment depressed prices. The fund lost 48 percent in 2008, its first full year. Last year, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index posted a total return of 16 percent, but the fund lost 24 percent. But alternative-energy stocks rebounded this year, with solar stocks climbing as demand for their products rose around the world.

an email if adjacent seats become available. • Check the airline’s website five days before the trip. That’s when some elite fliers are upgraded to first class, freeing up their coach seats. Another wave of upgrades occurs every 24 to 48 hours. • Check in 24 hours in advance, when airlines start releasing more seats. If connecting, check for open seats 24 hours before the second flight departs. • Keep looking. Even after checking in, seats can be changed at airport kiosks and on some airlines’ mobile applications.

LUGGAGE • Weigh a bag at home first.

Anything over 50 pounds (40 pounds on some airlines, such as Spirit) will generate a hefty overweight surcharge – typically $100 – in addition to the typical $25 checked bag fee. • Before your bag disappears behind the ticket counter make sure the airline’s tag has your name, flight number and final destination. As a precaution, place a copy of your flight itinerary inside your suitcase with your cellphone number and the name of your hotel. • If you can’t live without it, don’t check it. A lost bag can take days to recover. Don’t pack medication or outfits for tomorrow’s meeting or wedding in the bag you’re checking. The same with jewelry or electronics.

8IN BRIEF FBI wants hacker who helped catch cheaters WASHINGTON (AP) – Catching a cheating lover online using commercial spyware seems to be easier than nabbing the hacker behind it. The FBI this week added to its list of most wanted cybercriminals a former San Diego college student who developed an $89 program called “Loverspy” or “Email PI.” Sold online from his apartment, the program would send the suspected cheater an electronic greeting card that, if opened, would install malicious software that could capture emails and instant messages, even spy on someone using the victim’s webcam. Carlos Enrique Perez-Melara, 33, has eluded authorities since his July 2005 indictment. His last known whereabouts were in El Salvador, where he was born. “These are sophisticated folks who know how to hide themselves on the Internet,” John Brown, a section chief with the FBI who oversees operations in the agency’s cyber division, said of Perez-Melara and creators of other “hacking-for-hire” services. In one case earlier this year, a New York police detective was arrested for spending more than $4,000 on hacking services to obtain the emails of more than a dozen of his colleagues. Many of the operators tend to be based overseas. The case of Perez-Melara, 33, is noteworthy because he appears to have made relatively little money on the scheme, unlike others on the FBI list.

“We have hired a couple employees for our Social Media and PR team who, at some point or another, have moved abroad, but wanted to keep working for the company,” says Dana Case, director of operations at MyCorporation.com. “Since their main duties included turning in written work by their deadlines, and because they’re good employees, working from home has worked out fine. The best working-from-home situation is when an employee’s main job involves turning in quality work by certain deadlines. Anything written can be done from home (or another country), and as long as they turn in their work on time, I know they’re doing their job.”

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Choose the direction you want to go, and turn your ideas into tangible possibilities. Take action instead of waiting for someone else to beat you to it. Simple, precise moves and cost-effective decisions will be your ticket to a better future. Acceptance and ready adaptation will improve the outcome. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A day off will do you good. Whether you read a good book or get out with friends or loved ones, the time spent will encourage you to be more productive. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) --

You’ll be torn between what you want and what you can do. Be realistic and refrain from showing anger if you want to avoid discord. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Consistency will play a role in the outcome of a touchy situation. Look for an unusual solution to a problem, and you will realize that you have something special to offer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Keep your emotions tucked away and your ears tuned in to what others do and say. If someone expects something unreasonable of you, make yourself scarce. Do your own thing. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Have

your game plan ready to go, and you won’t lose a beat when it comes to gaining success and recognition. An opportunity to partner with someone could prove fortuitous. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t let changes made by others disturb you. If you follow through with your plans, you will find ways to move forward, alone or with someone you encounter along the way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Partnerships will make a difference in the way you move forward. Keep your emotions hidden until you are positive about your feelings. A personal move will result in greater stability.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Re-evaluate your current position and your reputation. You may want to make a couple of personal changes that enhance your popularity as well as your confidence. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Sharing is required today, bringing results that are far beyond your expectations. Socialize, enjoy interesting gatherings or visit a place that makes you feel at home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Look over your investments or calculate your assets and liabilities. You will have to make some serious decisions regarding your generosity and

those who are putting unreasonable demands on you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Maintain your schedule by clearing up unfinished business. Start the process now, so that you can enjoy a little downtime with friends or family. Romance is encouraged. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Consider your situation and the people involved in your life. Make tough choices that will ease some of the problems you’ve been facing. Stop waffling and start moving forward.

Where only spooked cats dare to go Not long ago, I got an email from a reader named Dave J., who had read one of my columns and liked it. I had been talking about my childhood in the column, and as luck would have it, my childhood sounded a lot like Dave’s. He asked whether I had written any books because he wanted to read more of what I had written. I had written a book. It is called “Revenge of the Sardines,” a compilation of stories I have written over several years. I wrote back to tell Dave about it, and I told him where he might buy it. Now, if this column is starting to sound like shameless self-promotion, please bear with me. It gets a lot more shameless. A week or so later, I heard back from Dave. He said he had gone to his local library to check out the book rather than buy it, but he was told by the kindly gray-haired lady behind the counter they didn’t have it on the shelves. She had never heard of it. “Is that a children’s book?” she asked. Dave hadn’t read it yet, so he didn’t know enough to call it what it is, which is a next-to-the-toilet-as-you-wait-forsomething-to-happen book. The kindly gray-haired lady did an inter-library search and found it at another local library, which just happened to be the library closest to my house. Dave wrote to tell me he had gotten the book from the library and read it cover to cover in two days. “I would have read it in one day,” he wrote, “but our new cat [adopted from an animal shelter] got spooked and ran wayyyyyy up the neighbor’s tree. I had to rent a 40-foot ladder to rescue the frantic feline before he became skeletonized. That’s two rescues in six months; one more and he goes back to the shelter!” Dave’s letter got me thinking.

In the first place, I couldn’t help but wonder if it had been the sight of my book in the house that sent the cat up the tree. After all, it is a big book (more than 400 pages), the cover is bright yellow, and a title like “Revenge of the Sardines” might cause a wary cat to wonder what price he might have to pay for eating all those fish-flavored Fancy Feasts. For another thing, I couldn’t help but wonder how my local library ended up with a copy of my book. Of the 56 copies of my book that have been sold, 18 of them were delivered to my address. My closest friends and some yet-unoffended family members got a few more. I considered starting a petition to challenge how our tax dollars are being wasted by our public libraries. But most important, I wondered where on the shelves they decided to put it. Did they have a section in their “Delusions” stacks, something like “writers who actually think that people want to hear about it?” So I went to the library and bellied up to the card catalog, which is all computerized these days. I miss those big wooden boxes with their little drawers with metal rods inside that skewer hundreds of cards designed to slip under your fingernail cuticle and give you a paper cut. If it weren’t for memories like that, how could I ever find enough material to write a column week after week? I typed “Kerth” into the computer catalog and hit the search button. It suggested, “Are you sure you don’t mean ‘Keith?’ ” But then, after repeatedly jamming the “Just search, dammit!” button, it whirred a little harder and came up with the title. My book was cataloged with an official-looking Dewey decimal system number – 814.54 KER – which may end

up becoming that tattoo I’ve considered getting. If I get it tramp-stamped across my lower back, it will generate encounters on the beach that will give me material to write about for decades to come. I walked back to the Adult NonFiction room, browsed the shelves, and there it was – glowing yellowly on the same shelf with books by Dave Barry, Erma Bombeck, Art Buchwald and Andy Rooney. I was elated. I was proud. I was horrified. After all, what right did my book have to sit among those giants? What if any of those writers ever went to their local library, browsed the shelves and found my book lurking among theirs? Might they mutter, “Who does this Sardines guy think he is?” Might they come looking for me to settle the score for lowering the value of their hard-earned, well-crafted neighborhood? I considered stealing my book from the shelves to save them the trouble. Although I think I might be able to handle Rooney, I’ll bet Bombeck could pack a wallop. In the end, I left the book right where it was. I figured there may be another curious reader out there with better things to do with his money than to go out and buy a big yellow book I wrote. Things like renting 40-foot ladders to rescue a spooked cat from a tree. Again. But if Bombeck comes to town, don’t tell her where to rent a ladder like that – because I’ll be up there sitting next to the cat.

Linguine With Asian-Inspired Pork and Mushroom Sauce AP photo

Spaghetti with sauce given an Asian twist By STEPHANIE WITT SEDGWICK The Washington Post Spaghetti with meat sauce is a staple dinner at our house, but I’m always trying to change things up – especially to get more vegetables and our preference for Asian flavors in the mix. How Asian you want to go is up to you. To go lighter on the flavors, use button mushrooms and Savoy cabbage. To go a little heavier, add some minced fresh ginger along with the garlic, up the toasted sesame oil, use lo mein noodles and add rehydrated Chinese black mushrooms. The sauce is a little more soupy than a traditional Italian American meat sauce.

Linguine With Asian-Inspired Pork and Mushroom Sauce 6 to 8 servings 1 pound lean ground pork 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, or more to taste 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, or more to taste 2 tablespoons mild olive or vegetable oil 1/4 cup finely diced onion 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons bourbon or whiskey (optional) 1 medium carrot, scrubbed well then cut into 1/4-inch cubes 4 ounces Napa cabbage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed then cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste 3 cups homemade or no-salt-added chicken broth 1 pound dried linguine 1 bunch scallions (trimmed), white and lightgreen parts, finely chopped

Combine the pork, half the soy sauce and the tablespoon of toasted sesame oil in a mixing bowl, using your clean hands to incorporate. Rest the mixture for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive or vegetable oil in a large nonstick saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion softens. Add the pork mixture; cook for about 6 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until the meat loses its raw look. Pour in the bourbon or whiskey, if using; cover and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 3 minutes. Transfer the pork mixture to a clean bowl and return the pan to the stove. Increase the heat to medium-high; add the remaining tablespoon of olive or vegetable oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the carrot, cabbage and mushroom pieces and the salt. Cook, stirring every minute or two, until the cabbage wilts and the mushrooms release their liquid, about 6 minutes. Return the pork mixture to the pan, then stir in the broth and the remaining soy sauce; once the liquid comes to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to medium-low; cook for 15 minutes. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain. Stir the scallions into the pork mixture. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, soy sauce and toasted sesame oil as needed. Serve warm, either in a serving bowl, tossing the sauce with the pasta, or in individual bowls, topping each serving of pasta with the sauce.

The Associated Press As temperatures drop and daylight is in shorter supply, we fight back: We crank up the heat in our homes and turn on lights earlier and earlier. And yet we also want to keep our heating and electric bills as low as we can. Can you keep your home warm and inviting all winter while still conserving energy? Here, three home design experts offer advice on how to keep things cozy while minimizing energy use this winter. Their suggestions range from the traditional (there’s a reason why your grandmother hung those heavy curtains in winter) to the high-tech, including a thermostat that can talk to your iPad.

TRY NEW TECHNOLOGY Maxwell Ryan, founder of the popular home décor website ApartmentTherapy.com, is a designer. John Colaneri, co-host of HGTV’s “Kitchen Cousins,” is a construction expert who builds and remodels homes. Both offer identical pieces of advice about staying warm while conserving power and saving money: Swap out your old incandescent bulbs (and those swirly compact fluorescent bulbs, too) for the new Cree brand LED bulbs. “They can last longer than 10 years and they use 84 percent less energy than incandescents,” Ryan said. “They also are dimmable” and give a warm-looking light – a big change from the energysaving compact fluorescents. “If you do the math on the LED,” he said, the bulbs save you so much on electricity they pay for themselves within a year and then last about nine more years. Colaneri and Ryan also both advise homeowners to replace old thermostats with new Nest brand models. “They take 30 percent off your bill each month,” Colaneri said. “And they look very high-tech and cool to display.”

Nests are programmable “learning thermostats,” which means they track your habits and adjust accordingly. They also connect via Wi-Fi to check weather reports online, and you can control them remotely from an iPad.

EMBRACE UPHOLSTERY Warm, cozy upholstery fabrics work on a practical level by holding your warmth when you touch or sit on them. But Ryan points out they also work visually: A room full of soft, warm fabrics will give you a psychological sense of warmth that adds to your enjoyment. So add thick throw blankets to chairs and sofas, and swap out silk-covered pillows and even lampshades for ones covered in thicker, nubbier fabrics like muslin and burlap. Ryan also recommends using thick curtains in winter. A decade ago, he said, “curtains were considered fusty and old-fashioned and expensive.” But with so many beautiful, inexpensive curtains available today, they’ve become popular again.

LIGHT THE FIRE Crackling flames in an indoor fireplace can change the feel of a room instantly.

LAY DOWN RUGS Gleaming hardwood or tile floors are lovely in spring and summer. But in cold weather, add a thick rug or swap out a thin one for something heavier. This will not only warm your feet, but also change the look and sound of your space. “When acoustics are dampened,” Ryan said, “the room feels warmer.”

IMPROVE CIRCULATION This last tip, shared by Maxwell Ryan, comes from a conversation he had years ago with home décor guru Martha Stewart. She advised him to run his ceiling fans backward in winter to push warm air back down along the walls of the room.

HOPE

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Shana Matheson started a charity called Hope Totes out of her home in McHenry that will make 100 reusable tote bags filled with essentials to give to homeless people in Chicago.

Nonprofit fills totes with essentials for homeless people By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

ince living in Chicago for a year, Shana Matheson has wanted to help the homeless she saw firsthand. The McHenry woman brainstormed, researched and created Hope Totes this year with the goal of giving Chicago’s homeless not only daily necessities, but hope to hold onto. The 26-year-old has spent the past month raising money and gathering supplies as part of the “Hope Totes Fund” she created along with her family and friends. She’s been joined in her effort by her brother, 20-year-old Chase Matheson, of Chicago, and boyfriend, 27-year-old Lance Morrison, of McHenry. The group’s goal is to raise $1,000 or gather enough donations to create 100 totes full of a hat, gloves, socks, an umbrella, a raincoat, a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, toilet paper, a bottle of water, snack bars and an inspirational quote. The quote states, “Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because it’s stormy now doesn’t mean you aren’t headed for sunshine.” “I picked this quote because it’s positive and hopeful, which goes hand in hand with my fundrasier’s mission,” Shana Matheson said.

• HOPE TOTES Continued from page 5 With a fundraising deadline of Nov. 17, they plan to personally distribute the totes Nov. 23. Matheson said she lived in the Lakeview area of Chicago before moving back to McHenry, where she graduated from. McHenry West in 2005. Because she’s familiar with that area, she said she’ll likely start there. As of late this week, the group had raised roughly $500, through www.gofundme. com/hopetotesfund. The supplies placed in each tote amount to roughly $10. “We decided on everyday things,” Matheson said, “things we take for granted, but they’re things we need day to day.” She organizes and stores the supplies at her McHenry home. Through donations, she hopes to finish the effort by purchasing many of the

supplies in bulk and completing the totes. The concept of Hope Totes is not new, with similar fundraising efforts taking place annually throughout the country to help those in need. But the effort is new both to the area and to Matheson, she said. She’s received numerous support from family, friends and her employer, Rabine Group in Schaumburg. Word of the effort has spread through social media, and Matheson also created the website, as well as flyers to distribute throughout the area. “I wanted to be able to do something special especially for the holiday season,” she said. “I came across Hope Totes. It’s something you can do on your own. And because we personally distribute, we can see firsthand the impact we’re making. . . “Hopefully, it’s a success and something I’m able to keep up with each year.”

As a family-owned and operated company, the owners are involved in all aspects of the business to guarantee complete customer satisfaction.

WHY REPLACE YOUR FURNACE? Now that the heating season is upon us, many homeowners ponder this question. The old adage was that you don’t buy anything until the old unit breaks. Most new installations do replace existing units that are still functioning quite well. The following items represent the most common reasons to replace your furnace: • Cracked heat exchanger – This is a serious safety issue because carbon monoxide could be leaking into your home via the ductwork. Extreme levels can be lethal. • Expensive Repairs – If your furnace is out of warranty and you are faced with a costly repair, you may want to consider replacement. The cost of the repair is applied to the purchase price of a new furnace, and the extended warranty will protect you from any future repairs for at least 10 years. • Efficiency – This is one of the most popular reasons to replace an older furnace. In some cases, we can actually cut your heating bills up to 40%. Many of the newer furnaces will also increase your comfort level because of some very unique technological features. • Rebates – Most furnaces that are rated over 92% efficiency qualify for gas company rebates, manufacturer’s rebates and tax credits. All of these factors, either collectively or singularly, are solid reasons to upgrade to high efficiency.

The sacriices that you’ve made, With some big prices that were paid. In ighting for our country to be free, You accepted your journey as it would be. You left friends and family and put careers aside, To serve your country with honor and pride. You put your life on the line when there was war, Always showing courage and strength for what would be in store. Praying for the day to return home and then, That our country would be free again. Carpentersville resident Marlene Cutchin has released a new book of poetry about her many adventures across the country. Photos provided

He asked Cutchin to read her poem, “Why Can’t Christmas Be Every Day?” on air. “I would write poems about characters that used to call in,” she said. This led to requests from businesses, acquaintances and others for poems on all sorts of subjects. When a family’s dog died, they asked Cutchin to write a poem. Others asked her for a tribute poem to their boss. Cutchin would collect the poems through the years, and finally published them this year. Her reading of the poem, “The Men That I Date,” can be found on YouTube. “I feel so blessed with this book and the encouragements I’ve had from friends and even customers where I work,” Cutchin said. “It’s never too late for your dreams to come true.”

By Marlene Cutchin Written September 19, 2011

Every year on the 11th of November, We honor our veterans and remember.

By JAMI KUNZER Give Marlene Cutchin a topic, and she either already has or soon will write a poem about it. At age 75, Cutchin has published her first book, “Jitter’s Golden Poems,” filled with poems jotted down at stop signs and elsewhere as she moved from Chicago to Las Vegas to Florida and eventually to her current home in Carpentersville. Through the years, she’s worked as a tour guide and cigarette girl in Las Vegas. She’s served cocktails, sold advertisements and accompanied celebrities as a media escort. She describes her many adventures in rhyme in her book. Some humorous, others touching, the poems tell tales of love and dates, and commemorates holidays, special occasions and patriotism. The book opens with a poem about Veterans Day (at right). Cutchin was asked by entertainer Tony Orlando to read it on stage a couple of years ago at one of his tribute shows to veterans in Branson, Mo. Cutchin was best friends for many years with Orlando’s mother, the late Ruth Schroeder, having met the family in Las Vegas. In a review of the book, Orlando wrote about its family appeal. “Ms. Cutchin’s work has a sweetness to it that’s heartfelt and remarkable,” he wrote. Cutchin, whose nickname growing up was “Jitter,” never imagined she’d publish a book, but those who knew of her poems encouraged her to do so. Her father gave her the nickname years ago based on his novelty business. He created tiny lead balls that jumped in the hand, and he called them jitter beans, Cutchin said. “I guess I was always kind of active, which I still am,” Cutchin said. Along with continuing to write poetry, Cutchin works five days a week at the Golden Corral restaurant in Elgin. She began writing poetry in her youth, and became known for it when she called into the radio station WIND-AM in Chicago years ago and spoke to Larry “The Legend” Johnson. Johnson, who died in 2011, became a fan.

Steve and Nancy Ellis returned home to Wauconda after riding about 10,500 miles on a tandem bicycle around the country.

TACKLING RETIREMENT,

IN TANDEM

Arriving back at the Atlantic Ocean at York Harbor, Maine, Steve and Nancy celebrated with a lobster dinner.

Couple circle the country on a two-seat bicycle By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

After teaching math for 39 years, Steve Ellis set out to reconnect with his wife, Nancy. So the Wauconda couple hopped on a tandem bicycle and pedaled around the perimeter of the country for more than five months. “This was like a freedom ride, you might say,” said Ellis, who taught at Lake Zurich High School before retiring and now substitute teaches. In 2010, he was named the Educator of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce, having taught at the same school for nearly four decades. He and his wife left in early March and finished their trip in late August. Starting out from Jacksonville, Fla., they’d camp for a couple of nights, stay in a motel a night, then camp some more along the way. In all, they camped about 101 days and stayed in motels about 40 days. The entire trip around the perimeter of the country and back to Florida encompassed about 10,500 miles.

“You’re really close to your partner all day long and then sleeping in a two-man tent,” Steve Ellis said. “You have to fight a little bit to get used to each other, and then you start bonding a lot better.” The couple already road bicycles regularly before the trip, but trained before taking it on. The family, including the couple’s three grown daughters, Jenny, Katie and Tamie, has taken bicycle tours every summer. The longest tour they ever took was about 1,000 miles. This would be much more extensive. “We knew it would be hard,” Steve Ellis said. “Riding a tandem is a little bit tougher than a single because we had all the weight on the bike. We carried 70 to 80 pounds on the bicycle in saddle bags.” Depending on the weather, they averaged about eight hours of riding a day. They endured a few bicycle break-downs but always seemed to find a way to pull through, Steve Ellis said. At times, the wind was so strong they couldn’t ride. But friends and even strangers helped them along the way, even when they broke down on a mountaintop in Vermont. Someone from a bicycle shop nearly 40 miles away came to help them. “It was a lot of hard work, and I would say that God was faithful,” said Steve Ellis, a member of the Evangelical Free Church of Wauconda, along with his family. “He took care of us every day. Every time we had a breakdown, he sent someone to help us out.” They saw places they’ve never been, riding across Texas, and along the California coast and through Washington, Vermont, Louisiana, South Carolina and elsehwere. They met other riders, as well as numerous locals along the way. Steve Ellis said he was surprised by the number of homeless people he saw, especially in California, as well as the numerous other bike riders, several riding for causes. “It’s a great adventure,” he said. “I would recommend it to anyone. All you have to worry about is food, water and where you’ll sleep. You get to see the country go by pretty slowly.”

By April 21, Steve and Nancy Ellis reached Emory Pass. They climbed 1,500 feet in 26 miles before climbing the last 3,000 feet during the final 8 miles. “When we got to the top it was cold, but the view at 8,228 feet was awesome,” Steve Ellis wrote on their blog.

Steve and Nancy Ellis left their Wauconda home in March, driving to Jacksonville, Fla., before riding their bike on this path around the country.

“

It was a lot of hard work, and I would say that God was faithful. He took care of us every day. Every time we had a breakdown, he sent someone to help us out.”

Stan and Nancy ran into thunderstorms in western Florida that sidelined the trip for a few hours.

Steve and Nancy Ellisdrove their tandem bicycle to Jacksonville, Fla., where they set off on their tour March 17. They arrived back in Jacksonville more than five months later, on Aug. 26.

The word citrine comes from the old French word “citrin” meaning lemon. It is one of the more rare forms of quartz. It ranges in color from the palest of yellow to a dark amber called Madeira. Citrine is known to change color when exposed to heat, so it is important to keep it out of direct sunlight. It ranks a 7 on the Moh’s Hardness Scale. Citrine is found mainly in Brazil, but it is also found in Bolivia and Madagascar. It was believed to have magical powers and was worn to ward off evil thoughts, the plague, bad skin and snake venom. Citrine was also used as a remedy for urinary and kidney ailments. Getting a gift of citrine is a symbol of hope and strength. In addition to being November’s birthstone, it is also the suggested gemstone for the 13th year of marriage.

Marital infidelity is unfit topic for holiday banter Dear Abby: My brother-in-law cheated on my sister two years ago. He was caught by the private eye his lover’s husband had hired. My sister took him back and has been trying to be “the good wife,” but he has never really seemed to be sorry or a changed man. My problem is, I can’t stand him. When we get together as a family, I know I’m supposed to be civil and respectful, but I ask myself, “Why?” I love my sister and the children. The holidays are coming. I’d like to ask him if he’s faithful now, but if I did, I know he’d only lie. Can you offer me some advice? – Holding A Grudge In St. Cloud, Minn. Dear Holding A Grudge: Yes. For the sake of your sister and the children, please resist the urge to make things more difficult by confronting your brother-in-law. Asking him about his fidelity status would embarrass him and possibly terminate their participation in any visit.

Because your sister is trying to make her marriage work in spite of the hurt her husband has caused, the kindest thing you could do for her and the children would be to make the reconciliation as easy as possible. Tempting as it may be, please don’t stir the pot. Dear Abby: I’m a 10-year-old girl whose family is divided. My dad brought me up, and I love him. However, my aunt hates him. I don’t really know why. Dad tells me she helped my mom argue with him. My aunt is nice to me. They rarely talk to each other anymore. I don’t know which side to take. I don’t want to take sides, and I don’t plan to. My mother died a few years back, and my dad took custody. I want to stay neutral, but I don’t know who to trust. – In The Middle In Missouri Dear In The Middle: Not knowing your father or your aunt, I can’t decide this for you. I will point out, however, that when a couple is hav-

ing a disagreement, it rarely helps if other family members get involved. What happens then is the person with less support feels ganged up on and becomes defensive. If your aunt makes you feel torn between her and your dad, then what she’s doing is wrong. It’s OK to love both of them. While I agree you should remain neutral, your father is the person who is raising you, and he deserves your love and loyalty unless he proves he cannot be trusted. Dear Abby: My beautiful wife and I were a team for many years. She was the brains, and I was the brawn. She took care of business matters, taxes and household duties. I did the repairs, vehicle upkeep and took care of the lawn and our garden. She was a computer whiz, while I remained computer illiterate. As we advanced in age, I made preparations for my demise. I had everything perfectly planned. Then the unexpected happened. My wife died

unexpectedly. I was devastated. Then I realized I was also totally lost. She had gone completely paperless. I had no knowledge of anything. Some things were filed in the computer and others in the filing cabinet. I didn’t know her email address, any account numbers and no passwords. All business transactions stopped completely, and my credit rating plummeted. It has been a year since her death, and I’m still trying to get everything corrected. Please remind your readers that the word “assume” can be a real meanie. – Somewhere In Texas Dear Somewhere: What a sobering letter. Usually the surviving spouse is the wife who was left in the dark. I’m glad you wrote, and I hope your letter will be a wake-up call to couples about sharing information.

Injury can lead to rationalizing narcotics abuse “Dave” was a hard-working electrician. His dad had been in the trades his whole life and had encouraged his son to do the same. “Dave” had always been a hard-partying kind of guy and, unbeknownst to his dad, a heavy drug user. He was a smart, good-looking guy who seemed to have the golden touch. He always got the job, got the girl and avoided trouble with seeming ease. One of the drugs “Dave” played with too often was narcotic pain medication he “borrowed” from his girlfriend and later from any-

body and everybody. We’ll never know which came first, but “Dave” hurt himself at work, and that injury required bed rest and narcotic pain medication. The medication he initially was prescribed did little for him because he already was taking a similar drug without a prescription and had developed a tolerance. He needed relief, he thought, so he approached the unsuspecting doctor and got stronger narcotic pain meds. “Dave” may have already been in the addiction cycle before his accident, and the

meds might have contributed to his inattention to his body’s natural self-protective mechanism, or the stronger meds prescribed by the doctor may have kicked his addiction over the edge, but either way the race was on. From that time forward, “Dave’s” sole mission between attempts to cut down was to procure and ingest the necessary amounts of narcotics he thought he needed to function. His withdrawal symptoms mimicked the pain symptoms he used to justify his continuing use, so frequent trips to doctors and

hospitals became a routine. He slept on his friends’ couches then stole their money and pills. He soon would need to move on to his next set of friends, and eventually there were no friends left. He stole from his parents, lied and manipulated to get drugs or money for drugs at every turn. He angrily agreed to rehab solely to convince his parents his problems were purely medical. He made numerous runs at outpatient counseling with the notion that if he could shake the depression, he wouldn’t need as much medication, forget-

ting he was taking depressive drugs by the handful. His apartment a mess, two months behind on rent, alone and sick, “Dave” took the rest of his last bag of pills, overdosed and died on his couch. “Dave” died of drug addiction regardless of its cause. His injury provided a rationalization for his continued over-use, not knowing rationalization was a symptom of the disease that killed him.

“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 VERDICT: 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 teentargeted franchise starter Summit was hoping for. Like “The Hunger Games,” the pic peddles the unseemly idea of watching kids thrust into life-anddeath 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. 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. – Variety

“Thor: The Dark World” STARRING: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston

PLOT: Thor, faced with an enemy even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all. RATED: PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence and some suggestive content TIME: 1 hour, 51 minutes VERDICT: Comic book movies are increasingly, like Sandra Bullock in “Gravity,” lost in space. Following the summer’s glumly bombastic “Man of Steel,” which added a heavy dose of Krypton politics to Superman’s once pleasantly silly story, comes “Thor: The Dark World,” in which Thor’s Asgard, a celestial home of gods floating somewhere in the universe, is the primary setting. Earth is an afterthought – just one of the “nine realms,” albeit the one with Natalie Portman. Gone are the earthbound pleasures of a superhero amid us mortals. Such was the joy of the “Spider-Man” movies and the first “Thor,” when Chris Hemsworth’s lofty, hammer-wielding Norse warrior, exiled to Earth, so happily encountered a cup

of coffee for the first time. As Marvel’s latest 3-D behemoth, “Thor: The Dark World” isn’t so much a sequel as the latest plug-and-play into the comic book company’s blockbuster algorithm. It’s a reliably bankable formula of world-saving action sequences, new villain introductions and clever quips from women on the side, (and they, most assuredly, are always off to the side). Thor has spent the last two years since “The Avengers” restoring order to the nine realms of the cosmos, but just as peace settles, a previously locked-away dark energy called the Aether seeps out. It leaks into Portman’s astrophysicist, Jane Foster, awakening a previously vanquished species of Dark Elves, led by Malekith (Christopher Eccleston). They would like to see the universe returned to complete darkness. Not a day person, this Malekith. This occurs as the nine realms are lining up in a rare convergence that makes them particularly susceptible to Aether-spread ruin. There’s not a lick of character to Malekith and his motives: He just wants to end all life. To save Life As We Know It, Thor seeks help from his duplicitous adoptive brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who has been imprisoned for killing thousands of humans at “New York.” Hiddleston’s sneering Loki remains one of the finest Marvel antagonists, and – now with a starring role in three films – the franchise seems to value him (as it should) as much as his more heroic brother. When “The Dark World” touches down on Earth, away from the “Clash of the Titans”-style realms of gods, it’s considerably better. Along with Portman, returning is the sarcasm sidekick Kat Dennings (as Jane’s intern) and Stellan Skarsgard as discredited scientist Erik Selvig. Chris O’Dowd makes a welcome cameo as a blind date for a very reluctant Jane. The tone is far more amiable on Earth (London, to be specific, the site of the final showdown) than in Asgard, where Anthony Hopkins, Renee Russo and Idris Elba remain locked in golden-hued majesty. Hemsworth, a seemingly perfectly rendered movie star equipped with brawn and baritone, also suffers from the stiffness. He had much more fun in “Rush” earlier this year. Ardent fans (who should stay through the credits) will likely be satiated by the pleasing enough “Thor: The Dark World.” But perhaps at this point, even die-hards may wish for something more from a Marvel equation that often subtracts humanity. – The Associated Press
