ELECTION 2014

Things to know Illinois gubernatorial hopefuls’ stance on taxes, wages before Tuesday

Candidates on the issues By SARA BURNETT

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The next governor of Illinois could decide a raft of big issues, from how to close a multibillion-dollar state budget gap to whether businesses must pay a higher minimum wage and whether to put more restrictions on guns. As voters head to the polls Tuesday, here’s a look at where Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, of Chicago, and GOP challenger Bruce Rauner, of Winnetka, stand on some of the top issues:

Early voting still available locally; what’s on ballots By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Voters have several options open to them if they want to vote ahead of Tuesday’s mid-term election. Sunday is the last day for people to vote early. Some early voting stations are open from 10 to 4 p.m. at the county Administration Building in Woodstock, and the municipal buildings of Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills and McHenry. Monday is the last day for in-person absentee voting at the County Clerk’s office, meaning voters apply for an absentee ballot in person, and fill it out and submit it on premises. And for this election, Illinois residents can register to vote on Election Day at the county building or the Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills or McHenry municipal centers. A state law passed earlier this year mandated county clerks to make Election Day registration available, as well as extend early voting another day and extend its hours. While the Democratic majorities that control the General Assembly called the bill a measure to make sure as many people as possible get to exercise their democratic right to vote, Republicans called the bill a politically-motivated effort to pump up Democratic voter turnout in a tight gubernatorial race. People registering to vote on Tuesday must present two forms of identification, with at least one containing the resident’s current address,

INCOME TAX Quinn wants to make the income tax increase that Democrats passed in 2011 permanent rather than let the rate fall from 5 percent to 3.75 percent for individuals, as scheduled, on Jan. 1. He says that would lead to “severe” cuts to schools, social services and other areas. Rauner wants to return the tax rate to its pre-2011 level of 3 percent within four years. He hasn’t outlined specific areas where he’d cut to make up for the billions in lost revenue, contending that economic growth would help fill the gap.

Pat Quinn announces Wednesday the planned construction of the $1.4 billion Cronus Chemicals fertilizer plant at the facility’s future site, about 1 mile west of Tuscola.

Early voting The following early voting stations are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday: n McHenry County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock n Crystal Lake City Hall, 100 W. Woodstock St. n Lake in the Hills Village Hall, 600 Harvest Gate n McHenry City Hall, 333 S. Green St. Polls open at 6 a.m. on Election Day and close at 7 p.m.

SERVICE TAX Rauner wants to impose a new tax on some services, such as advertising, mini-storage and sewer services. He says Illinois – which currently doesn’t tax services – could reduce tax rates if the base were broadened. Quinn opposes it because he said it would disproportionately hurt working people.

MINIMUM WAGE Quinn wants to raise Illinois’ minimum wage from $8.25 to $10 an hour, and has pledged to do so by January. He says raising the wage will improve the economy by putting more money in people’s pockets.

veterans, or 4 percent of the total, received concurrent payments of $100,000 or more, the Government Accountability Office said. The highest payment was to a veteran who received

$208,757 in combined payments in 2013. Some lawmakers say the report shows the need for better coordination among government programs that are facing severe financial constraints.

@NWHerald

Time for some free-floating election hostility My wife’s absentee ballot arrived in the mail the same day as the notice from her job estimating the price range of her health insurance increase for next year. I hope that’s a good omen for 2014 being an election year where voters don’t get mad at the political class, but get even – or at least do their best to do so, given how badly the cards are stacked against the little guy in Illinois, Land of Corruption. With Election Day two days away, I’m dedicating my column to random observations of recent developments in the hectic final stretch. We start with the office of governor, which is the state’s second-highest position after House Speaker Michael Madigan. • THE WAR OF ENDORSEMENTS: Republican governor candidate Bruce Rauner almost made a clean sweep of endorsements from daily state newspapers, including the Northwest Herald. Not even newspaper endorsements were spared the acrimony of the bare-knuckled fight between Rauner and Democratic incumbent Pat Quinn. The Sun-Times, whose parent company used to be partially owned by Rauner, raised some eyebrows when it broke its policy of not endorsing candidates to back him. Rauner’s former interest in the paper is only part of the convoluted story. His campaign took the ethically

VIEWS Kevin Craver questionable step of trying to meddle with the paper before it published a story that put Rauner in a bad light. That meddling cost the Sun-Times one of the story’s writers, its star statehouse reporter, who resigned in disgust. On the other side of the ethical coin, the story was a thinly veiled hit piece about a 10-year-old lawsuit, and I’m struggling with believing that some sort of magic “firewall” separated the reporter’s work from that of his wife, a Democratic media consultant. The odd man out for endorsements is the Rockford Register Star, which endorsed Quinn on the grounds that he’s brought some stuff to the Rockford area, or something. It’s understandable – Rockford is pretty much Detroit, with Cheap Trick thrown in for a little regional distinctiveness. It needs all the help it can get. • SOUP SANDWICH: The latest example of the McHenry County Board’s growing reputation for dysfunction might be felt at the polls. The County Board earlier this month balked at accepting a state grant to enroll people in the state health care exchange – a grant it has accepted in the past – on a 1010 tie vote. If it was a protest

vote, it was a fizzle, given that President Obama didn’t alter or scrap the Affordable Care Act over one Illinois county’s objection on general principle. But what the County Board did accomplish was turn what could have been a harmless consent agenda item into front-page news on a politically radioactive issue, in which you will anger voters regardless of your decision, the day after early voting began. The special meeting board members called Wednesday to vote on it again put it back in the headlines six days before the election. We had a colorful but unprintable compound word we used in the Army to describe stuff like this. The first half of the word is “cluster.” • BECAUSE I’M A WISEGUY: It looks like the County Board had to reject the health care grant to see what was in it. • AND I’M JUST SAYIN’: For the record, current lawmakers who get taxpayer-funded health insurance, and former lawmakers whose decades in office have earned them free taxpayer-funded health care for life, should ask themselves how much Windex it takes to clean a glass house before weighing in on stuff like this. • QUINN PRO QUO: Quinn has promised if he wins to make the “temporary” 67 percent income tax increase that’s supposed to substantially decrease Jan. 1 permanent. Should Quinn emerge

victorious, this will get done the same way the increase was approved after his 2010 election – in the lame-duck session afterward. Six of the 12 outgoing Democratic lawmakers who voted for the tax hike ended up with lucrative state jobs and the luxurious pensions that come with them. If there’s a lame-duck vote to make the tax permanent, I’ll be watching in 2015 to see how many outgoing lawmakers get rewarded with patronage jobs for socking it to you. If I find any, I’ll make sure to let you know. Same for anyone on the Libertarian Party slate who ends up with a job at IDOT. • BLEACHER BUM: Before you give that post-election sigh of relief Nov. 5, remember that we do the whole election thing over again next April. A fun one to watch could be the school board of Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155, which is seeking a 2 percent increase in its tax levy for next year. Erecting bleachers so large they can be seen from space, unsuccessfully defending them in court, and then tearing them down, isn’t cheap.

At 12:21 p.m., emergency personnel were called to Bull Valley Road and Cherry Valley Road, where a Nissan SUV and a Nissan sedan had collided, said Battalion Chief Joe Krueger. When firefighters arrived, the SUV was on its roof, Krueger said. However, the man and woman who had been in the SUV were both OK and out of the vehicle. The woman driving the sedan, however, was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, Krueger said. Krueger did not have the names of the people involved in the crash.

Makeover for area near Amtrak station a priority for Huntley in 2015 By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Sparked by the state’s commitment to deliver Huntley an Amtrak station, village officials are planning to make 2015 a major year for the ongoing downtown makeover. Officials have dedicated roughly $7 million of the village’s proposed $11.1 million capital projects budget in 2015 to the historic downtown. Nearly $4 million in down-

town work will go to relocate overhead and underground utilities, renovate water and sewer lines, and improve the landscape and sidewalks near the downtown square. The project represents the last major piece to Huntley’s downtown revitalization effort. Since rolling out the 2010 makeover plan earlier this year, officials cautioned they would have to do the project in pieces because of the cost and financing constraints involved.

But recent financial commitments from the state on Gov. Pat Quinn’s announcement earlier this year to include Huntley on a new Amtrak passenger rail line have

caused officials to fully tackle the project in 2015, said Village Manager Dave Johnson. “We believe we have the financial wherewithal to take on the downtown project and accomplish what we’ve been looking to do here over the course of the last five years,” Johnson said. “The catalyst for the reinvestment in the downtown ties to the passenger-rail investment.” The other $3 million in downtown infrastructure work in 2015 will come through a

Each “Manna Pack” of rice, soy, proteins and vegetables provides starving or malnourished children with about six meals. BELOW: More than 700 volunteers gathered at the church Saturday.

Algonquin church helps pack meals for children in need By LINDSAY WEBER editorial@nwherald.com ALGONQUIN – A tree that once sat on the lawn of Light of Christ Lutheran Church in Algonquin was destined to serve a bigger purpose. The tree was declared dead and a parishioner, wanting to do his part, found a way to use that tree to give back when he was not able to do so financially. The tree was uprooted, cut and sold for $1,400 worth of firewood, all of which was given to the church’s goal of $25,000 to allow for a food packing event for Feed My Starving Children. The nonprofit Christian

organization committed to feeding children in body and spirit brought supplies Saturday afternoon to the gymna-

as well as the local community hand-packed 140,000 meals to be sent to children in need. The meals were packed over three sessions and consisted of rice, soy, vegetables and vitamins. The church first partnered with the organization in 2008 and has since held several packing events, though this is the first for Light of Christ. Associate Pastor Sharon Rogers saw these efforts come full circle on a trip to Haiti where the children in the region received the packages from sium of School District 300’s FMSC and Rogers saw the efWestfield Community School. fect it had on their lives.

Property owners in two remaining McHenry County townships have an opportunity to appeal their assessments. People in Riley Township have until the end of business Friday. Several days later, assessments are expected to be published for Grafton Township, the last one to go to print, according to the McHenry County Assessor’s Office. Appeal deadlines for the county’s other 15 townships have passed. Assessments, or one-third of a property’s value, determine a property owner’s share of the tax revenue that county, municipal, school, township and other taxing districts receive. Publication in a local newspaper of record starts a 30-day period for property owners to contest their assessments, which will be used to calculate their 2015 property-tax bills. Each appeal is heard by a board of review, which at the end of the hearing makes a determination of the property’ value. Riley Township, except for a sliver of the city of Marengo, is rural. Grafton Township contains much of Huntley, almost all of Lakewood, and parts of Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills and Algonquin. Most other township assessors finished their assessments months earlier – they have moved up the publication process in recent years because of the surge in appeals, which peaked two years ago at 10,413.

D-46 board to hear about HVAC system options By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com PRAIRIE GROVE – The options Consolidated School District 46 has for addressing stifling classrooms will be laid out at an upcoming special school board meeting. Siemens Corporation will present the different options the district could take to improve its heating and cooling systems at the elementary and junior high schools as well as the savings the district could see by improving its air delivery systems. The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the multiple-purpose room

The junior high was added in 1999 and has both air conditioning and heating. For the parts of the school without air conditioning, the heat and humidity levels can be virtually the same as the outdoors, Bender said, adding the district has not done temperature monitoring. The District 46 school board has looked at the issue in the past but not taken any further action.

The presentation will not cost the district anything, and any improvements would require approval by the District 46 school board. If the board decides to move ahead with the work, students and parents could see improvements as soon as next fall, depending on the cost and scope of the work recommended and ultimately approved, Superintendent Philip Bender has said.

Polls open at 6 a.m. Tuesday • VOTING Continued from page A1 County Clerk Katherine Schultz said. Polls open at 6 a.m. Tuesday and close at 7 p.m. The weather forecast calls for likely rain showers and a high in the lower 50s, according to the National Weather Service. Voters are electing to all statewide constitutional offices, a U.S. Senate seat, all seats in the U.S. and state Houses of Representatives, four countywide offices and half the County Board, voting whether to approve two proposed amendments to the Illinois Constitution, and voting to retain some judges. Incumbent Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn is in a neckand-neck race with Republican challenger Bruce Rauner, and the ballot includes Libertarian challenger Chad Grimm. Also on the ballot are the constitutional offices of attorney general, secretary of state, comptroller and treasurer. Republican Illinois state Sen. Jim Oberweis is running against longtime Democratic incumbent Dick Durbin for the U.S. Senate, as is Libertarian candidate Sharon Hansen. While polls consider Durbin safe, they also favor the Republican Party’s odds of netting the six seats it needs to retake control of the Senate. In the 14th Congressional District, which covers most of McHenry County, Republican incumbent Randy Hultgren is running against Democratic challenger Dennis Anderson. Algonquin Township falls in the 6th Congressional District, where GOP incumbent Peter Roskam is running against Democratic challenger Michael Mason. Three of McHenry County’s representatives in the Illinois House have contested races. In the 63rd District, Republican Steven Reick is running against longtime Democratic incumbent Jack Franks of Marengo. Republican incumbent David McSweeney is facing a challenge from Democratic challenger Bill Downs in the 52nd District, and in the 64th District, Democratic

challenger Joel Mains is running against GOP incumbent Barbara Wheeler. The only local Illinois Senate candidate up for election, 33rd District Republican incumbent Karen McConnaughay, is running unopposed. Republican candidate Bill Prim is running against independent Jim Harrison for McHenry County sheriff – current sheriff Keith Nygren is not seeking re-election. Republican candidates are running unopposed for county clerk, treasurer, and regional superintendent of schools. Candidates for treasurer and county clerk are replacing longtime incumbents who decided not to seek re-election. Four of the County Board’s six districts have contested races. Democratic candidates, two of them incumbents, are fielding challenges in districts 1, 3, 4 and 5. The Nov. 4 ballot also contains five state questions, two of them binding constitutional amendments and three of them advisory referendums. The proposed amendments strengthen the existing victims’ rights clause and another creates a section protecting voting rights. The ballot also includes three statewide advisory questions asking whether millionaires should pay a special tax to help fund education, whether the minimum wage should be increased and whether prescription drug coverage should be required to include prescription birth control, which is already the law in Illinois. Like the extended voting periods and the Election Day registration option, Republicans allege that the slew of questions are a gimmick to boost Democratic voter turnout. Voters in Bull Valley and Chemung Township and the River East Library District will weigh in on referendums – Bull Valley and the library want to raise their property tax rates, and the township road district wants to borrow $1.25 million for road work. Voters in one McHenry County precinct in Belvidere School District 100 will vote on whether school board members should be elected at large.

DETOUR

Road work end dates pushed back, including the intersection of 31, 176 By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com With November and cold weather here, the newspaper’s weekly Detour column will go into hibernation until next spring. Keep an eye on the newspaper as we let you know when ongoing projects are finished. We start this final column with two delays: • ROUTES 31 AND 176: We were skeptical when IDOT projected a late October completion date for rebuilding the intersection, which is months behind schedule for various reasons. Progress is being made, and we’ll let

you know when the work is finished. • FRANKLINVILLE ROAD BRIDGE: Problems obtaining needed materials have pushed back the completion date on the bridge to late November. Franklinville Road has been closed between Route 176 and Kunde Road while workers replace the 60-year-old span. A posted detour takes drivers on a long stretch that includes Route 176, Millstream Road, Garden Valley Road, Vermont Road, Kishwaukee Valley Road and Hobe Road. • ROUTES 31 AND 120: Work is ongoing on a $7.2 million project to widen and resurface Route 120 from Front Street

to Green Street and Route 31 from Route 120 north to McCullom Lake Road. • ROUTE 31: Work is ongoing to widen Route 31 to four lanes from Rakow Road in Crystal Lake south to Trinity Drive in Lake in the Hills. The $5.2 million project is expected to be finished by next spring. • BOYER ROAD IN ALGONQUIN: Boyer Road from south of Corporate Parkway to village limits is closed so workers can repair a particularly worn stretch of the road behind Algonquin Commons. Sources: Illinois Department of Transportation, McHenry County Division of Transportation

Board members to vote in December • DOWNTOWN Continued from page A3 Debt on three other major capital projects is scheduled to come off the village books in 2015 and 2016, Johnson said. “We didn’t want to tear up the downtown for the passenger rail and have parts of that overlap into the [downtown] streetscape plan, then come back later and tax the businesses and the community by doing it all again,” Johnson said. The village will make final

“We didn’t want to tear up the downtown for the passenger rail ... then come back later and tax the businesses and the community by doing it all again.” Dave Johnson, Huntley manager payments on the Route 47/Interstate 90 project, the Huntley Municipal Complex, and a public works facility during the next two years. Combined, the three projects totaled $20 million in debt obligations, Johnson said. Aside from the downtown

projects, the 2015 capital projects budget builds upon standard infrastructure work officials have done in years past, Johnson said. Board members vote in early December on the proposed $11.1 million capital projects budget, as part of the entire 2015 budget.

Surge in appeals fueled by frustration Continued from page A3 That surge was fueled by frustrated homeowners who found their property tax bills were either staying the same or increasing, despite their homes losing significant value as a result of the bursting of the hous-

ing bubble. About half of the appeals in any given year come from Algonquin and Grafton townships, which largely are urbanized and hold about 45 percent of the county’s residents and households, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. Because assessments determine a property owner’s share of what taxing bodies re-

ceive, getting it lowered does not guarantee that the owner’s bill will decrease, as well. A successful appeal does not mean that the taxing bodies will get less money – it means that the discount you receive will be spread out among your fellow taxpayers, just as your assessment will be adjusted upward to make up for everybody else’s decreases.

More than $40,000 raised by community, corporate sponsors for the packing event • SPIRITS Continued from page A3 “Food makes a huge difference in the lives of children, not only for nourishment but also for their education,” said Rogers. “It’s hard to learn on an empty stomach, but if they can learn better we can help stem the tide of poverty in the country.” The money for the packing event was raised by community and corporate sponsors as well as church programs. The total raised was $42,000, with proceeds used for Saturday’s pack as well as a future pack. The food packing event was incorporated into the church’s six-week Beyond Your Backyard program encouraging members to look over the fence and see beyond what’s going on in their backyard. “Food security isn’t just local, it’s global,” said Rogers.

“We live in a very privileged society. No child should go hungry.” Shannon Denna Lake in Hills resident assisting with packing Ken Arndt, church member for 14 years and retired District 300 superintendent, helped to organize the pack. “I just asked a lot of people is all,” Arndt said. “There are so many people that have gathered here working together for a wonderful cause.” Arndt spoke of the preschool and Sunday school children who participated in the fundraising by collecting their change to fill M&M candy tubes and small plastic bags for donation. Jennifer Alderson is a former District 300 student who

Vets who receive combination of benefits are severely disabled • BENEFITS Continued from page A1 Veterans groups disagree. They say the retirement money was earned for years of service in the military, while disability payments are compensation for service-related injuries and wounds. In most cases, veterans who receive a combination of benefits are severely disabled. About 4 in 5 veterans who got triple payments had a disability rating of at least 50 percent, the GAO said. Nearly half of those receiving triple payments were at least 60 years old. Louis Celli Jr., a Washington representative for the American Legion, said critics of the multiple benefits are “mis- Sen. Tom guided and un- Coburn informed.” He said the report “should simply be filed in the category of one of Sen. Coburn’s parting shots to loyal upstanding American patriots who have sacrificed so much for this country.” Coburn, a longtime critic of government spending, is retiring at the end of the year. He said in an interview that the report raises legitimate questions about whether disability benefits are getting to those who truly need them. “This is billions of dollars a year in duplicative payments,” Coburn said. “We ought to reassess and say, ‘Are we doing more than take care of people in need?’ I’m not against the military. I don’t think they

should be triple dipping.” Most Americans would find it hard to understand how someone making $86,000 a year in tax-exempt VA income qualifies for Social Security Disability Insurance, when civilian workers are disqualified from the program if they make as little as $13,000 a year, Coburn said. Only 17 percent of those who received multiple forms of compensation had suffered a combat-related disability, according to the GAO. Veterans have long been exempted from rules that deny Social Security benefits to anyone with other income exceeding $13,000 a year. But until the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, veterans were barred from receiving both military retirement pay and Department of Veterans Affairs’ disability benefits. Under a Civil War-era statute, the Pentagon docked retirement pay dollar-for-dollar up to the amount of disability benefits from the VA. With bipartisan support, Congress changed that law in 2002, gradually restoring military retirement pay to veterans also drawing disability benefits from the VA. “Our nation’s status as the world’s only superpower is largely due to the sacrifices our veterans made in the last century,” Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in March 2002 when the bill was being debated. “Rather than honoring their commitment and bravery by fulfilling our obligations, the federal government has chosen to perpetuate this longstanding injustice,” Reid said. “Quite simply, this is disgraceful and we must correct it.”

Knee Pain?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer! HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inﬂammatory drug prescriptions. Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do? What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment. If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Superior Health & Wellness, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint. Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE? Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid. Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint. Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car. If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)? Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT CAUSES OSTEOARTHRITIS? The exact cause of osteoarthritis is unknown. Factors that might cause it include the following: • Being overweight • Getting older (wear and tear) • Joint injury • Joints that are not properly formed (alignment/ imbalance problems) • A genetic defect in the joint cartilage • Stresses on the joints from certain activities, including sports, work and leisure activities

WILL MY PAIN GO AWAY OVER TIME? ✔ Do you wake up with knee pain? ✔ Does your knee pain keep you from certain activities? ✔ Have you been told you need a knee replacement? ✔ Are you active and sometimes suffer from sore knees? ✔ Do you take medications for knee pain? ✔ Do you have difﬁculty going up and down stairs due to knee pain? ✔ Are you considering surgery to alleviate knee pain? ✔ Have you tried everything to get rid of knee pain with out success? If you answered yes to at least 4 of these questions, you are ready to experience the relief and healing found at Superior Health & Wellness.

Start living your life

PAIN FREE!

What Do Patients Say? I had reached a point that I could no longer work out in the yard for more than 15 minutes. I couldn’t lift anything heavy, and some days I would have to use a cane because my knee hurt so much. I no longer need to do that. It is progressively getting better each week. Thank you Superior Health & Wellness for caring about my wellness! – Jenn B. “I had suffered from severe knee pain for months. I went to four different specialists without any relief. When I called Superior Health & Wellness, the staff was understanding and knowledgeable, schedules were rearranged and treatment was provided immediately. THANK YOU for helping me.” – Joann F.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN? After careful study and several trials, the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This new treatment is a high-tech answer for all those who think that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only option to eliminate knee pain.

Consider these facts before surgery People who suffer from knee pain typically try supplements or pain medications before seeking help from a doctor. When all else fails and the pain is too much, some feel that surgery is the only option. Before you put yourself through months of immobility, pain, rehab and hefty medical bills, consider something else. Superior Health and Wellness

Their son Jack, 6, and daughter Jane, 4, drew pictures on the boxes that stored the meals with messages like “Jesus loves you” to send a message for those that open them. The Algonquin resident and her husband prayed over the boxes so as to send them with good will and messages for the receivers. Members of the Denna family from Lake in the Hills were assigned a packing station to measure soy and rice into bags. “We live in a very privileged society,” said Shannon Denna. “No child should go hungry.” Daughter Aubrey, 6, was very excited to help pack and said it was important to help out so the kids wouldn’t be hungry.

“Lawyer vs. Lawman” The Northwest Herald framed the issue well with this headline. Bill Prim is a 27-year law enforcement professional who rose to the rank of Commander as a result of his superior investigative, supervisory and administrative skills. The other candidate last wore a uniform 25 years ago. He’s run a three person law firm ever since, and simply lacks the experience required to successfully run an organization the size of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department.

ANOTHER VIEW

Future of E-Verify Whatever comprehensive immigration reform plan finally emerges from Congress almost certainly will make it more difficult for future immigrants to enter the country illegally – and, if they do, will make it harder for them to stay. One of the likely mechanisms of that is the E-Verify hiring database, which is designed to keep illegal immigrants from working in the U.S. Since it was introduced, E-Verify has been a deeply flawed system. Now, though, some of its problems are being fixed. E-Verify determines whether job applicants are legally eligible to work in the U.S. by checking their names against databases kept by the Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recently rolled out an updated self-check system called myE-Verify, which allows workers to edit their profiles in the E-Verify database and challenge information they believe to be inaccurate. Although it is only available in five states and Washington, D.C., this is clearly a step forward. But it also moves the country closer to a more nuanced set of problems. E-Verify may ultimately become a useful tool to help control illegal immigration. But it doesn’t make sense to expand it nationally or make it mandatory until the country has decided what to do with the enormous population of illegal immigrants already here. That’s why E-Verify should be a part of comprehensive immigration discussion, not a one-off policy that creates more problems than it solves. Los Angeles Times

AMENDMENT

Negative ads miss issues To the Editor: If I were to believe all the negative campaign ads, I wouldn’t know who to vote for. What do I care if someone looked crosseyed at someone five years ago? I would like to propose a new law. The candidate must state the office he/she is running for and what he/she believes are the three biggest problems with that office and how to solve the problems. The problem-solving would be required in weeks one to three and weeks five to seven of the campaign. In week four and week eight, the candidate would be able to sling mud. The candidate needs to have some fun. We as voters would learn about the problems of the office and possible solutions. Walter J. Steffens

Kopsell very deserving To the Editor: I’ve known Don Kopsell for more than 30 years and find him to be an honorable man for the job of County Board member. He is very experienced in transportation and road maintenance, which qualifies him to represent

District 3. He is a veteran, awarded the Purple Heart in Vietnam, and with his military experience, he will make a good representative of the McHenry County Veterans Assistance Commission. He will assist veterans and guide them with their military problems through the Veterans Administration. We trust Don Kopsell. Give him your vote. Ed and Alice Dvorak Crystal Lake

Danger in domestic calls To the Editor: Please explain why two officers, going on a domestic call in Holiday Hills, were not informed of the possible danger?

of the construction of the new bleachers at Crystal Lake South High School. It was an opportunity, for me, to be employed on the administrative team in Crystal Lake School District 47 from 1962 until 1985. In that time period, School District 47 built four new schools and made significant additions to all eight of the schools in the district. All projects were approved by referendum votes. The city of Crystal Lake was involved in the 12 construction projects. Certainly, school districts must follow state laws, such as the Illinois Life Safety Code, but they also are responsible when it comes to meeting municipal regulations. The McHenry County regional superintendent of schools stated

in a column in the Northwest Herald that she had approved the bleacher project. Her role offers “lip service” at best. I never have seen a regional superintendent send a construction proposal back to a school district for revision. As a former superintendent of schools, I know that most of the school districts in McHenry County would love to have an extra million dollars-plus to provide education for the children in their districts. It is difficult to see the education value in a project that will be used four or five times a year for home football games and a graduation ceremony. Bob Blazier Crystal Lake

Jeb Bush and taxes – ready my lips, part II Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL.) is thinking seriously about running for president in 2016, according to his son, George P. Bush. According to Commentary magazine, Jeb Bush had an impressive record as governor, including tax reductions totaling $20 billion. Given that performance, why is Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, upset? Politico, and many others, assert it’s because of an answer Bush gave in 2012 to a hypothetical question posed by a member of the House Budget Committee, which resurfaced now as he contemplates running for president. Bush was asked whether he could accept tax increases of $1 for every $10 in spending cuts. He said he could and seemed enthusiastic about the 10-for-1 formula. Norquist and other anti-tax advocates perhaps see in Bush’s comment a replay of his father’s pledge at the 1988 Republican National Convention: “Read my lips: no new taxes.” He violated that pledge when congressional Democrats promised to cut

VIEWS Cal Thomas spending in exchange for tax increases. Bush raised taxes. Democrats did not cut spending. Many have long believed that broken promise contributed to his failure to win a second term. Republicans allow themselves to get caught in this trap because many assume government not only needs increasing amounts of taxpayer money, but that it can be relied on to spend it wisely. Anyone who believes that hasn’t been paying attention. The Treasury Department last week released figures showing tax revenue in fiscal 2014 exceeded $3 trillion for the first time in American history. Treasury also said the deficit was nearly $500 billion. The national debt has passed $17 trillion and continues to climb. As Ronald Reagan and other conservatives have noted, the reason we have such massive debt is not because

the American people are undertaxed; it is because their government overspends. If spending cuts alone were implemented, Jeb Bush would have no need to increase taxes. Doesn’t that work with our credit cards? If we reduce spending without additional income, we will have more money in our pockets to save and invest. Republicans need to reject the notion that government needs more money and change the subject to the elimination of wasteful and unnecessary spending. Deep within our DNA remains a Puritan ethic of living within one’s means and not borrowing to pay for what we can’t afford. Some things remain true regardless of the era. I have always appreciated what Calvin Coolidge said about taxation. Here are just three of his better utterances on the subject, which contemporary Republicans would do well to memorize: “The collection of any taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to

the public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny.” Or this one: “The wise and correct course to follow in taxation is not to destroy those who have already secured success, but to create conditions under which everyone will have a better chance to be successful.” And this: “No matter what anyone may say about making the rich and the corporations pay the taxes, in the end they come out of the people who toil.” These quotes and many other wise sayings of the 30th president can be found in Peter Hannaford’s book, “The Quotable Calvin Coolidge.” Jeb Bush and other Republicans who would even consider more tax hikes might want to carry around a copy and read from it whenever they feel the urge.

PEORIA – Already thinking about that perfect voting booth selfie on Election Day? You may want to think again. Taking a cellphone picture of yourself and your markedup ballot could be considered a felony. A provision of Illinois election law forbids showing others your ballot, The Peoria Journal Star reported. It dates back to the early 1970s, long before the smartphone era, but could apply to digital images as much as to a Polaroid. The prohibition in section 29-9 of the election code is meant to thwart vote-buying schemes by making it harder to prove to someone after the

fact that a person voted in a certain way, explained Ken Menzel, deputy general counsel of the Illinois State Board of Elections. “If I marked up my ballot and tweeted a picture to you, there’s at least some ways to interpret this section to say I’ve marked my ballot” in a way that it can be observed, Menzel told the newspaper. Still, the odds may be slim you’d be headed to the big house. Menzel has never heard of a prosecution for posting a ballot image on social media. And Peoria County State’s Attorney Jerry Brady said under such circumstances he’d be unlikely to pursue a prosecution.

He told about 150 supporters at a park in Quincy that Quinn, House Speaker Michael Madigan, Senate President John Cullerton and now-imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich – all Democrats he described as “the Chicago political machine” – have run Springfield for a combined 100 years.

The main causes for this problem fall into two categories. the ﬁrst one could be mechanical in nature, like a blower wheel that may be out of balance. The second reason is the more common one, which is usually related to a duct problem. These are typical symptoms of ductwork related issues: •

Whistling noise when blower starts - Most newer homes lack the proper amount of cold air returns. This results in a high static pressure within the system and can cause whistling sounds from one or more air grilles.

•

Banging noise when blower starts and stops - This is known as “oil canning”. Sometimes the ductwork is against a pipe or framing member which can cause some noise. Usually, The problem is the undersized return air ductwork or an oversized furnace.

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn got an assist Saturday from first lady Michelle Obama, who told a cheering crowd the incumbent and other Democrats will ensure a bright future for Illinois children. Republican governor candidate Bruce Rauner said Democrats have been running Illinois for too long, and it’s time for a change. The candidates are making their final pleas to voters across the state in advance of a Tuesday election that’s expected to be one of the closest in the U.S. Speaking to an audience of about 1,400 in Moline, the first lady – who grew up in Chicago – said the outcome of the race is “personal,” The Moline Dispatch reported. She said Quinn will make the kind of investment in education that leads to good jobs and a stronger middle class. “We need to be energized

GOP rebels are minding their political manners The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Tea party groups and other Republican rebels that thrive on bedeviling the party are minding their political manners in the run-up to Election Day, while Democrats are struggling. That combination doesn’t guarantee a Republican takeover of the Senate or big gains in the House in elections midway through President Barack Obama’s second term. But it does augur poorly for Democrats by the time the votes are tallied Tuesday night.

“There is just too much at stake not to support Pat Roberts,” Jenny Beth Martin, head of the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, said recently in announcing an endorsement of the veteran Kansas senator. That’s not how the group saw it earlier in the year, when it scorned the 78-year-old incumbent as a career politician and sought to defeat him in a primary. “Pat Roberts wants special treatment,” said a video posted to the organization’s website back then. It accused him of “taking a special exemption from Obamacare.”

The turnaround means the group is now all-in for the GOP establishment, which treated it as a mortal threat in the primary season and wound up handing them defeat after defeat in Kentucky, Mississippi, Kansas and elsewhere. The establishment’s objective was to prevent a repeat of the 2010 and 2012 elections, when Republicans lost winnable races – and a chance at a Senate majority – because unelectable insurgents made it through the primaries in a handful of states. “The last two cycles we

nominated some people who were not the best candidates for the general election,” Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the party’s leader said in August. “In 2014, I’m hard-pressed to think of a single state where we don’t have the best nominee possible.” The cease-fire is unlikely to last much after Election Day, as suggested by a dustup in recent days between some conservatives who said they detected a sign of weakness in McConnell’s vow to try and repeal the health care law. But to party leaders, Nov.

4 is what matters most as Republicans pursue the six seats needed to win control of the Senate. The mood is less forgiving on the other side of the aisle, although the grumbling is muted for now. Senate Democratic aides and White House officials have been sniping at one another for weeks, going back to a dispute over President Barack Obama’s plans to issue an order ending deportations for millions of immigrants in the country illegally. House Democrats also are unhappy over a steep decline

in support from environmental and other groups, who focused more on Senate races this year. History alone predicts a drubbing for any president’s party midway through his second term. Since 1934, the average is a loss of about 30 seats in the House and six in the Senate. Barring a blowout that no prognosticator is predicting, Republicans are unlikely to pad their House majority by that much. In fact a gain of 13 would leave them with more seats than at any time since 1946.

NATION BRIEFS Gas almost less than $3 nationwide NEW YORK – The national average price of gasoline has fallen 33 cents in October, landing Friday at $3.00, according to AAA, and will soon dip under $3 for the first time in four years. When the national average crossed above $3 a gallon in December of 2010, drivers weren’t sure they’d ever see $2.99 again. Global demand for oil and gasoline was rising as people in developing countries bought cars by the tens of millions and turmoil was brewing in the oil-rich Middle East. Now demand isn’t rising as fast as expected, drillers have learned to tap vast new sources of oil, particularly in the U.S., and crude continues to flow out of the Middle East. Seasonal swings and other factors will likely send gas back over $3 sooner than drivers would like, but the U.S. is on track for the lowest annual average since 2010 – and the 2015 average is expected to be lower even still.

Marine veteran out of Mexico jail, home in Fla. WESTON, Fla. – A U.S. Marine veteran is back home in Florida after a Mexican judge ordered his release from jail, where he spent eight months for crossing the border with loaded guns. Family spokesman Jon Franks told reporters that retired Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi arrived at a South Florida airport about 6 a.m. Saturday. Franks said Tahmooressi was resting with his family at their home suburban Weston, Florida. Tahmooressi said he crossed the border by mistake in California and had no intention of bringing weapons illegally into Mexico. The judge that ordered his release Friday did not address the weapons charges but freed him because of his mental state. Franks said Tahmooressi will soon begin treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Tahmooressi served with the Marines in Afghanistan.

Driver sought in crash that killed 3 on Halloween LOS ANGELES – Authorities on Saturday tracked the owner of an SUV suspected of being used in a Halloween night hit-and-run that killed three teenage girls to a Southern California home, only to find someone else living there. The black Honda had not been reported stolen. Detectives set about the task of trying to determine where the owner was and who was driving when the vehicle traveling at high speed hit the girls, including twin sisters, who were out for a night of trick-or-treating. The SUV was abandoned a short distance away. Police were seeking two men from an SUV that hit the girls, police Chief Carlos Rojas said at a media briefing. Dressed in costumes and carrying candy bags, the 13-yearold girls were in a crosswalk near an elementary school in Santa Ana when the SUV with two men inside hit them about 6:45 p.m. Friday, police and fire officials said.

Top scientists try to predict number of U.S. Ebola cases The ASSOCIATED PRESS STANFORD, Calif. – Top medical experts studying the spread of Ebola say the public should expect more cases to emerge in the United States by year’s end as infected people arrive here from West Africa, including American doctors and nurses returning from the hot zone and people fleeing from the deadly disease. But how many cases? No one knows for sure how many infections will emerge in the U.S. or anywhere else, but scientists have made educated guesses based on data models that weigh hundreds of variables, including daily new infections in West Africa, airline traffic worldwide and transmission possibilities. This week, several top infectious disease experts ran simulations for The Associated Press that predicted as

Wreckage on Friday lies near the site where a Virgin Galactic space tourism rocket, SpaceShipTwo, exploded and crashed in Mojave, Calif. The explosion killed a pilot aboard and seriously injured another while scattering wreckage in Southern California’s Mojave Desert, witnesses and officials said.

Can private space survive 2 explosions in 4 days? SpaceX and Boeing build ships that will eventually take people there, too. Internet pioneers Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have gotten into the space game. Aviation entrepreneur Richard Branson and others are pushing a billion-dollar space tourism industry. The Virgin Galactic and Orbital accidents have nothing in common except the words private space, Stern said. Still it raises issues about the space industry. Some experts said they worry that private industry may just not be as safe as the government when it comes to going into space. Jerry Linenger, a former astronaut who narrowly survived a 1997 fire on the Russian space station Mir, said private industry lacks the experience and the advocates for safety that NASA had when he was launching into space. He pointed to former moonwalking astronaut John Young, who NASA encouraged to raise safety issues and slow things down.

they have declined to specify actual numbers. The projections are complicated, but Ebola has been a fairly predictable virus – extremely infectious, contagious only through contact with body fluids, requiring no more than 21 days for symptoms to emerge. Human behavior is far less predictable – people get on airplanes, shake hands, misdiagnose, even lie. Pandemic risk expert Dominic Smith, a senior manager for life risks at Newark, California-based RMS, a leading catastrophe-modeling firm, ran a U.S. simulation this week that projected 15 to 130 cases between now and the end of December. That’s less than one case per 2 million people. Smith’s method assumes that most cases imported to the U.S. will be American medical professionals who worked in West Africa and returned home.

WASHINGTON – Fiery failures are no stranger to the space game. It’s what happens when you push the boundaries of what technology can do, where people can go. And it happened again to Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo. In the past decade, the space industry has tried to go from risky and government-run to routine private enterprise – so routine that if you have lots of money you can buy a ticket on a private spaceship and become a space tourist. More than 500 people have booked a flight, including Justin Bieber, Ashton Kutcher and little known space scientist Alan Stern. But it all depends on flying becoming safe and routine. This week hasn’t helped. Three days after a private unmanned rocket taking cargo up to the International Space Station blew up six seconds into its flight, a test flight of SpaceShipTwo exploded Friday over the Mojave Desert

with two people on board. The developments reignited the debate about the role of business in space and whether it is or will ever be safe enough for everyday people looking for an expensive 50-mile-high thrill ride. “It’s a real setback to the idea that lots of people are going to be taking joyrides into the fringes of outer space any time soon,” said John Logsdon, retired space policy director at George Washington University. “There were a lot of people who believed that the technology to carry people is safely at hand.” The question for space tourism might be, “if it survives,” Logsdon said. But he thinks its momentum in recent years will keep it alive. Federal estimates of the commercial space industry – only a little of it involving tourism – exceed $200 billion. NASA is counting on private companies such as SpaceX and Orbital Sciences to haul cargo to the space station. They are also spending billions to help

few as one or two additional infections by the end of 2014 to a worst-case scenario of 130. “I don’t think there’s going to be a huge outbreak here, no,” said Dr. David Relman, a professor of infectious disease, microbiology and immunology at Stanford University’s medical school. “However, as best we can tell right now, it is quite possible that every major city will see at least a handful of cases.” Relman is a founding member of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services advisory board for biosecurity and chairs the National Academy of Sciences forum on microbial threats. Until now, projections published in top medical journals by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control have focused on worst-case scenarios for West Africa, concluding that cases in the U.S. will be episodic, but minimal.

Tunisia elections can serve as possible model for region

Hopes for freedom dashed? Nigerian extremist says kidnapped girls married The ASSOCIATED PRESS MAIDUGURI, Nigeria – With a malevolent laugh, the leader of Nigeria’s Islamic extremists tells the world that more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls have all been converted to Islam and married off, dashing hopes for their freedom. “If you knew the state your daughters are in today, it might lead some of you ... to die from grief,” Abubakar Shekau sneers, addressing the parents of the girls and young women kidnapped from a remote boarding school more than six months ago. In a new video released late Friday night, the Boko Haram leader also denies there is a cease-fire with the Nigerian government and threatens to kill an unidentified German hostage. “Don’t you know we are still holding your German hostage [who is] always crying,” he taunts. “If we want, we will hack him or slaughter him or

By PAUL SCHEMM The Associated Press TUNIS, Tunisia – Tunisia’s orderly parliamentary elections are being hailed as a model of democracy for a region torn by strife and full of dictatorships. Regional rivalries, however, may put pressures on this fledgling democracy to move away from the dialogue and consensus that has made the country’s transition a success so far. On Sunday, Tunisian voters punished the Islamist Ennahda Party that had run the country for two stormy years after the 2011 revolution and gave the most seats to Nida Tunis, a party of old regime officials, businessmen and leftists who banded together specifically to unseat the Islamists. Yet with nearly a third of the seats in the 217-member parliament – just 16 less than Nida Tunis – Ennahda remains a significant force in the country. Any effort to exclude them, which would likely be encouraged by regional heavyweights like Saudi Arabia, could undermine precisely what has

He is flanked by masked and armed fighters standing in front of four military pickup trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns. Boko Haram has looted many weapons and vehicles including armored cars from Nigeria’s military. The military has several times claimed to have killed Shekau, and says any new videos are made by a look-alike. But the United States has not removed a $7 million ransom on the head of the extremist leader. On Oct. 17, Nigeria’s military chief, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, announced that Boko Haram had agreed to an immediate cease-fire to end a 5-year insurgency in which thousands have died and hundreds of thousands have been driven from homes in northeast Nigeria. And government officials said they expected the Chibok girls to be released any day.

made the transition work until now. Prominent columnist Rami Khouri, a former executive editor of Lebanon’s Daily Star newspaper, described the Tunisian elections as “the most significant domestic and national political development in the modern history of the Arab world,” lauding how Tunisians came together peacefully to write and pass a new constitution by the end of 2013 and then hold elections in 2014. Despite social unrest and severe economic challenges, Tunisia’s different factions were able to agree and compromise for the sake of national unity, “in sharp contrast with the hysteria and hallucinatory emotional excesses” in Egypt where the army overthrew the elected Islamist president to great popular acclaim, Khouri wrote Wednesday in the Daily Star. Tunisia’s Islamists ruled in a coalition with secular parties and when popular unrest mounted in 2013 over security failures and economic problems, Ennahda willingly stepped down in favor of a government of technocrats.

Burkina Faso appoints new transitional leader OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso – Burkina Faso’s army appointed a military colonel as transitional leader on Saturday, it said, after the West African country’s president resigned from 27 years in office amid violent protests against his continued power. Lt. Col. Isaac Yacouba Zida was unanimously appointed by

the army to lead Burkina Faso, the army said in a declaration. “The period of transition” and its “form and duration will be determined later,” said the declaration that was drafted and signed after senior officers met with the joint chief of staff Saturday. Blaise Compaore resigned Friday after protesters stormed parliament and set the building ablaze following two days of violent demonstrations against his

bid to amend the constitution to stand next year for another term. His move left the impoverished West African country in a state of uncertainty, and both Joint Chief of Staff Gen. Honore Traore and Zida had made remarks that they were in power. Compaore, his family and those close to him had been taken in by Ivory Coast, according to a statement from the office of President Alassane Ouattara. It

did not elaborate. It said Ouattara was following events “with particular attention.” Earlier Saturday, Zida said that the president’s resignation amid violent street protests was an “insurrection” and not a coup, and that Compaore and a top aide were both safe. “Starting today I will assume all the responsibilities of this AP photo transition and of head of state,” he said in an announcement Burkina Faso Lt.

Trojans’ strength can’t be boxed in

Cary-Grove, sr., PR/DB

q THE GAME BALL Hartke sprinted 48 yards down the sideline for his first career punt return touchdown, which helped Cary-Grove breeze past Niles North in the opening round of the playoffs.

Total yards allowed in the first half by C-G’s defense, which ended seven Niles North possessions before the half with three punts, two interceptions, a fumble recovery and a turnover on downs.

Jason Gregoire found Matt Sutherland for a 20-yard TD late in the first quarter to increase the Trojans’ lead to 24-0 and deflate the Vikings’ morale.

Top-seeded C-G trounces Niles North in playoff opener CARY – For every high school football game, we compile a box score. It’s filled with a ton of detailed information that provides order to the game. Every scoring play is listed, as is every player who took a handoff, threw a pass or hauled in a reception. But no box score could properly describe the domination by Cary-Grove in a 52-14 win against Niles North on Saturday in the opening round of the Class 7A playoffs. The No. 1 seed

VIEWS Tom Musick Trojans (10-0) trounced the No. 16 seed Vikings (5-5) for 45 points in the first half, including 31 points in the first quarter, to show again why they’re the area’s best team. “It’s everyone contributing,” C-G linebacker Travis Myerson said. “It’s all the little things that help brings us together to be who we are. That’s how we become a team.” Here’s what the box score failed to show: • Myerson plastering his shoulder

pads square into the chest of Niles North quarterback Anthony Granato as he hurriedly released a throw. As Granato crumbled to the ground, Trojans defensive back George Hartke stepped forward to intercept the pass. • Trojans defensive back Matt Sutherland reaching out to break up a pass on fourth-and-1 in the first quarter. Sutherland’s pass breakup set up a C-G touchdown by guess who? Sutherland, who hauled in a 20-yard pass to put the Trojans up by 24. • Zach McQuade pouncing on not one but two fumbles by Niles North, including one on a kick return and one on defense. • Connor Leach and George Hartke

sealing off key blocks to spring a 48-yard punt return for a touchdown by Willie Hartke. Willie made sure to thank George, his twin brother. “As soon as I got to the sideline,” Willie said with a smile. • A swarming team defense that often made it difficult for C-G’s public-address announcer to pick out a single tackler, who instead offered phrases such as, “Hit by a bunch of Trojans,” and, “Hit by a gaggle of Trojans.” • The cheers from the C-G sideline as running back Thor Halverson carried the ball in the second half. “Thorrrrrr,” his teammates rumbled.

NORMAL – The state tournament is a place only four teams make it for boys soccer, and Harvard made its first trip in school history this season. Unfortunately for the Hornets, their two games at state did not go the way the rest of their season had gone. After losing to Timothy Christian, 2-1, on Friday night in a 10-round penalty shootout in a semifinal, Herscher’s Brandon Sommer scored the game’s only goal Saturday with 17:40 remaining, as Harvard took fourth place in Class 1A after falling to Herscher, 1-0. “It’s disappointing, but at the same time, there is so much to be proud of,” Harvard coach David Abel said. “These guys worked their tails off and deserved to be here. When they have time to look back and reflect on the season, they will realize how special their season actually was.” After advancing out of the supersectional round for the first time in school history in boys soccer, the Hornets (226) finished the season with a school record in wins and a fourth-place trophy, knowing that only three teams in the state finished higher. The loss Saturday afternoon was not because of a lack of scoring chances, but a phenomenal performance by one of the best goalkeepers in the state in Herscher’s Leighton Howard. Howard made eight saves, three of which were diving saves that he punched over the crossbar to keep the Hornets scoreless. “He has carried us through this season and we would not be where we are without him,” Herscher coach Alan High said of Howard. “I can’t say enough about his importance to our success.”

CLASS 1A PLAYOFFS: RFD CHRISTIAN LIFE 40, ALDEN-HEBRON 26

Giants ousted by No. 1 By MIKE DeFABO mdefabo@shawmedia.com ROCKFORD – Noisemakers popped, and confetti flew through the stands, as the public-address announcer’s voice echoed over the field at Rockford Christian Life High School. “You have just witnessed history,” he said, prompting another spirited round of cheers from the fans dressed in blue. For the first time since the No. 1 Eagles started playing football in 1999, they won a playoff game with a 40-26 victory over No. 8 Alden-Hebron on Saturday. Although the victory helped the Eagles break through the first round for the first time in six tries, Alden-Hebron added another year to its own record book just by being in the game. For the 11th time in 12 seasons coach John Lalor’s Giants advanced to the postseason. Although the outcome isn’t what the team had hoped, getting to this point was something the coach takes pride in. “I take it personally,” Lalor said. “My job is to get to the playoffs.” Lalor was able to do his job despite numerous injuries to key players. Most notably senior middle linebacker Marshal Glenn tore his ACL in Week 2, but the Giants found ways to fill holes. “The coaches work us hard every day and they push us,” said senior receiver/safety Cody Nelson, who rushed for 104 yards and caught four passes for 73 yards. “They turned a couple small-town kids into football players.” Earlier in the season, Rockford Christian Life (10-0) shut out the Green Giants (5-5), 340. Before the game, Lalor implored his team to make a stand. “At least show them that they were in a game,” he said. Despite falling behind 28-6 in the third quarter, the Green Giants cut the deficit to two scores three times. Even as Rockford Christian Life quarterback Brady Pond racked up 165 rushing yards and three touchdowns, the Green Giants moved the ball. Colten Cashmore threw three touchdown passes (two to Nelson and one to Trevor Redlin) and rushed for a fourth.

CLASS 4A PLAYOFFS: DIXON 28, RICHMOND-BURTON 19

Mistakes hurt R-B By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com DIXON – With less than six minutes to play in Saturday’s Class 4A first-round playoff game between Richmond-Burton and Dixon, Dukes quarterback J.D. Gieson called for a trick play on the Rockets’ 36 on fourth-and-long and decided to go for it. Out of field goal range and already up by 2, Gieson’s clever call at the line for a fake punt paid off for Dixon and – at the same time – ended R-B’s postseason in the first round for the second straight year. Gieson saw Matthew Coffey sprint down the right sideline past single coverage and connected with his receiver, giving the Dukes a 28-19 win against R-B. The Rockets (6-4) had an idea the fake punt was coming, but couldn’t recover in time to make the pass defense and give their offense another shot to take the lead. “We knew they had a fake punt,” said running back-defensive back Brad Boelkow, who was in on the play. “We’ve seen it before. Our corners just got beat. Our coaches set it up well. We just had some one-on-one matchups that didn’t go our way.” The fake was just one of many big plays for Gieson, who picked apart the Rockets’ secondary on 20 of 28 passing for 231 yards and three touchdowns – with the other two scores going to Kyle LeBlanc (118 yards). The senior also added a rushing touchdown in the second quarter, accounting for all four of Dixon’s scores. R-B’s failure to recover wasn’t the only blunder Saturday.

Crystal Lake Central finished fourth to also qualify for state. Top finishers for the Wolves included Filip Pajak and Mitch Kazin, who finished 21st and 22nd, respectively.

For Crystal Lake Central, the Tigers were led by Cole Barkocy, who finished sixth with a time of 15:08.5. Weston Sterchi finished 15th, Steven Hillier finished 36th and Brandon Tomasello came in 52nd. The Tigers were without No. 2 runner Jake Cannizzo, who was out because of sickness. “We ran great. We preach all year: This is about family,” Tigers coach Bill Eschman said. “This is about team. If somebody has a bad race, we need to pick them up, and they all did that today.” Luke Beattie of Woodstock also qualified for state with a time of 15:15.5. In the girls sectional, Crystal Lake Central took third place to qualify for state. Top runners for the Tigers included Mary Fleming and Janine Orvis, who paced Crystal Lake Central with finishes of 13th and 15th place, respectively. “I think we did all right.

They ran pretty well. A little tinker here or there could make us better, but overall, they ran well,” Tigers coach Anthony Destephano said. “We came into sectionals thinking we could get second or third, or even fourth. To be third, we are happy with that.” Kitty Allen of Marengo finished second overall with a time of 17:17.3, about five seconds behind the winner. Allen qualified for state, with her team coming up a little short with an eighth-place finish. “Overall, I think they fought hard. But, it was not our best day today,” Marengo coach R.J. Meyer said. Allen was pleased with her performance. “I think it went really well. It went out really quick. There were a lot of good competitors here today and it was a lot of fun,” Allen said. “I was happy with where I finished. I was hoping for the top three, and it was nice being able to do that.” Prairie Ridge’s Andie Shine, Woodstock’s Kate Jacobs and Richmond-Burton’s Breanne Retherford also qualified for state.

GRAYSLAKE – In what Marian Central boys soccer coach Jim Colvin called “the potential state championship game,” Marian Central and St. Viator fought for the sectional title at the Class 2A Grayslake Central Sectional. The Hurricanes couldn’t muster enough offense to repeat their victory over the Lions in the regular season, as they fell 2-0 to end their season. “We didn’t get many chances on goal, and they did a good job of keeping us away from goal, and the couple chances they got they completed them,” Colvin said. “I think you just saw the potential state championship game right there. I think they are going to go on and win it all and they may not face the competition we just gave them there.” St. Viator had the better offensive opportunities right from the start as it continually pressured the Marian Central goal. Despite the attacks, the defense and goalkeeper Jake Higgins kept the game scoreless for the first 50 minutes. St. Viator finally broke through 10 minutes into the second half when Zach Gyuricza broke through the Hurricanes’ defense and found an open Aidan Williams for a chip-in goal. St. Viator pulled away further 13 minutes later when Gyuricza set up Jack Hartman for the Lions’ second goal off a designed free-kick play. The Hurricanes (15-4-1) got more pressure after the second St. Viator goal, but still couldn’t find the goals they needed. “We just couldn’t find our wings for some reason today,” Colvin said. “They were doing a good job of breaking up our play in the middle, but the game still could have gone either way.” This was the second time the Hurricanes played their East Suburban Catholic Con-

The Lions had 12 corner kicks in the game, but didn’t score on any of them. Higgins made six saves for the Hurricanes. Marian Central only managed two shots on goal all game. Marian’s best chance came midway through the first half when senior Patrick Majzner had his strong shot attempt saved by the St. Viator keeper. “They were a good team and we played our hearts out,” Meintz said. “We went out on a good note, and the season was a success, we really peaked in the playoffs.”

Family atmosphere leads to success for Hornets • HORNETS Continued from page C1 Herscher (29-3) knew Harvard would control possession for most of the game, but had to maintain its focus to stop a strong Harvard attack. Although the Hornets probably were the better team in both games they played this weekend, they come out of the weekend with no wins and two losses. “It’s not how we would have wanted the games to go, but we came here as a family and are going to leave as one,” senior captain Fernando Mercado said. This Harvard team, which

has had more success than any team in school history, has been that “family” all season. Abel praised the passion of his group all year long, and knew its relationships both on and off the field were a large reason for the success this year. “The guys are always together,” Abel said. “They genuinely love the sport and love being around each other. They are competitors through and through, and they battled every second out there. Right now, it’s upsetting. But when they look back, they should do nothing but hold their heads high.”

BEARS

Everybody’s frustrated by squad’s 3-5 start

MARK POTASH No. 1 reason the Bears are 3-5: The offense. If all it takes is a zone defense to thwart the Bears’ offense, it wasn’t that great to begin with. The numbers and the eye test – fewer open receivers than in 2013 – suggest the league has figured out coach Marc Trestman’s offense, and he has yet to respond. Midseason MVP: Running back Matt Forte. Besides his six touchdowns and 1,052 total yards (third in the NFL), Forte has 13 third-down conversions (one more than the Cowboys’ DeMarco Murray) and 56 touches that have resulted in a first down. That’s 31.3 percent of the Bears’ 179 first downs this season.

Bears general manager Phil Emery was asked to offer words of encouragement. He was asked to appease the navy-blue-and-orange-clad masses who have turned red with fury. “We’re as frustrated as they are,” Emery said. “We know we’ve let them down, and the only way through this is to keep working and keep focusing on the right things.” At 3-5, the Bears haven’t done many things right. Midway through the season, they find themselves out of playoff contention. And the unpredictable nature of their play might be the most infuriating aspect of it all. The Sun-Times’ beat writers try to make sense of the Bears’ erratic, confidence-killing first eight games and offer a look ahead:

the 49ers in Week 2, but he hasn’t been the same player he was in 2013. Marshall has 34 catches for 384 yards and five touchdowns. At this time last season, he had 53 catches for 647 yards and six touchdowns. Midseason surprise: Defensive end Willie Young. He arrived in town with six sacks in 48 NFL games and had seven in his first six games with the Bears. He has had at least one sack in each of the Bears’ three victories.

CROSS COUNTRY: CLASS 3A SCHAUMBURG SECTIONAL

Reiser wins, McHenry boys headed to state McHenry senior tops 20-year-old course record by 3 seconds By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com ELK GROVE VILLAGE – McHenry’s Jesse Reiser picked up another Class 3A Schaumburg Sectional cross country championship, a Busse Woods course record and remained unbeaten for his senior season. None of those accomplishments meant as much to Reiser as his team’s second-place finish, which means he’ll finish his high school career running at the Class 3A state meet at Peoria’s Detweiller Park next week with his buddies. “I just wanted to come out with the win,” Reiser said. “We

wanted a big team race. This is really big for our school, we haven’t been to state (as a team) since 1983.” Reiser won in 14:32.82, beating his friend Zach Dale of Conant by almost 6 seconds and the course record of Prospect’s Lou Petricca, set in 1994, by 3 seconds. Hersey won the team title with 92 points, followed by McHenry with 109. Crystal Lake South’s Jack Becker was 11th and grabbed the last of seven individual-qualifying spots. Jacobs’ Lauren Van Vlierbergen won the girls race, also in course-record time at 17:07.68. McHenry’s Lauren Opatrny was second in 17:30.92

and Crystal Lake South’s Kiley Britten took the final qualifying spot in 12th at 17:57.30. The previous course record was shared by Barrington’s Christina Fiduccia (2003) and Prospect’s Brooke Wolf (2010) at 17:20. McHenry’s Michael Hahndorf finished 12th, while its other three scoring runners were Jacob DeWitt (29th), Daniel Tonyan (30th) and Tyler Lay (37th). Lay ran No. 3 early in the season before contracting pneumonia, but he has worked his way back. “I feel really good coming back from pneumonia,” Lay said. “I didn’t really feel I was back until early this week. It was devastating, I was bed-ridden for two weeks. It still affects me a bit, it really put a beating on my lungs. Doing well here means a lot.” Van Vlierbergen ran with

Palatine’s Kelly O’Brien for most of the race before pulling away in the last 800 meters. As O’Brien faded, Opatrny came on strong to make it a Fox Valley Conference sweep for the top two spots. “That experience of being pushed was good,” Van Vlierbergen said. “Our workouts have been speed-oriented. After running down that hill before the last half mile, I just keep sprinting.” Opatrny battled a stress fracture in her left fibula over the summer and an iron deficiency earlier this season. “My coaches told me to save something for the last mile, so I had a kick,” Opatrny said. “I really needed this race. I’m grateful to have this race to put me back in it.”

ers took the last of five qualifying team spots by one point over Marmion, 167-168. Seth Conroy was fourth and Mike Grocholski was 14th. It is Huntley’s first trip as a team to state.

Class 1A Oregon Sectional:

Johnsburg’s Matt Stelmasek was eighth and Noah Miller was eighth as the Skyhawks’ boys team took third place with 104 points and qualified for the Class 1A state meet. Rockford Christian won with 75 points and Winnebago was second with 94. Marian Central’s girls, led by Abigail Jones’ second-place finish, were third in the team standings with 119 points.

Crystal Lake South’s Jack Becker and Kiley Britten both qualified for state by taking the final of seven individual berths.

McHenry’s Lauren Opatrny was in a pack of five runners behind the two leaders in the final mile of the race, but put together an outstanding kick to take second place.

Of their eight regular-season victories, all came by an average of 23 points, and only two came by less than a 10-point margin. “We’ve been a fruntrunner,” Maloney said. “And in the past, we’ve been a team that tried to battle from way down. Now, we’re getting into some close ballgames, and we’re seeing kids respond.” Peete especially responded with a big effort, rushing for 214 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries, shoul-

Another sophomore running back, Blake Lemcke, did the same on a kick return in the third quarter that stretched the Skyhawks’ lead to 35-20 at the time. The No. 14-seeded Chargers (6-4) couldn’t keep up, to either Peete or Lemcke. “It hits like our inside run plays,” said quarterbacks coach Steve Bell, who also coaches the kick return team. “It’s one quick cut and you gotta go. They just let their athleticism take over in the end.”

Palatine (8-2) advances to meet No. 2 Glenbard West (10-0) next week in the second round. “We were motivated [in the third quarter],” Raiders linebacker Mike Walker said. “We thought we had a chance, our offense kept us in it. We had to keep our positive attitudes going and show true leadership.” Palatine quarterback Nick Orlando, directing an offense missing injured 1,200-yard rusher Christopher Cornelius, led the Pirates to 22 second-quarter points and a 25-7 halftime lead. Huntley cut that lead to 25-17 on Young’s kick with 24 seconds remaining in the third quarter. The Raiders (8-2) forced another punt early in the fourth quarter, but return man Tim Ryan bobbled the ball and the Pirates recovered the fumble. Palatine coach Rick Splitt called for a double pass, as Orlando fired a lateral to Matt Lamm, a wide receiver and backup quarterback, who fired to wide-open Jovone Stricker for a 30-yard touchdown. “We’ve been practicing it

and we never thought we’d use it,” Orlando said. “I guess it worked. Lamm played quarterback [for the sophomores] last year, so he can throw.” Huntley still had chances, but its next three drives ended with a lost fumble and two interceptions. The Pirates had a 5-0 advantage in turnovers. “[Palatine] made some big plays and we made too many mistakes,” Huntley coach John Hart said. “We had a lot of things going against us [in the first half], we equally fought. That shows character. I love the fight. I thought our kids fought their butts off.” Splitt figured the Pirates would see an inspired Huntley team after halftime. “They’re big boys and we knew exactly what they were going to do in the second half,” Splitt said. “They pounded it down us, they made a few adjustments and we struggled a little bit, but big plays happen.” Running back Casey Haayer carried 19 times for a gamehigh 105 yards and quarterback Anthony Binetti threw for 202 yards and one touchdown. “We did great [this season],” Walker said. “Four years ago, we’d never have expected to go 8-1 [in the regular season]. Going 8-2’s a great season, but we expected more.”

all three phases. “We just really preach about being a team, and not focusing on being individuals,” Myerson said. “We always do stuff together. We bond really well. Pretty much everyone is friends. That’s how we practice, too. It’s all together.” And it’s not over yet.

BULLS

BULLS 106, TIMBERWOLVES 105

Rose’s health Bulls dealing with injuries holds city hostage By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com

The Bulls are going to be a ridiculous amount of fun this season, provided a certain person stays healthy. I hate adding that proviso, but it would be like writing, “What do you know about the Cubs?” without mentioning the small matter of the past. Watching Derrick Rose cutting through the Cleveland Cavaliers for layups Friday, a few things came immediately to mind: Good Lord, does he look strong. Wouldn’t it be great if he stayed that way? Oh, and one more thing: When he comes down limping after taking a shot and an entire arena inhales at once, it’s a reminder of how one man’s health is holding a city hostage. That’s what happened at the United Center, and it was more pain and panic for the viewing audience. Rose was fine. And then he wasn’t. He sprained his left ankle in the second quarter and stayed in the game. He went to the locker room in the third quarter and never came back. Good news: It wasn’t a knee! Still, though. Dude. Stop this stuff. “The gods are testing me right now,” Rose said, laughing. “But it’s fine. I think I’ll be able to get through it.” Yes, but will Chicago? As Rose said after the game, he has been through worse. As you might have heard, he has had a torn ACL and a torn meniscus. And as he also pointed out, the ankle injury was a typical basketball injury, something that happens all the time in the NBA and on the playground. A sprained ankle isn’t connected to the knee bone. After the game, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau looked as though he had lost his best friend in a tragic film-room accident. It was hard to tell whether the cause of his suffering was Rose’s ankle or the 114-108 overtime loss to the Cavs. If it was the game, I suspect the Cavs’ 52-42 dominance on the boards sent him over the edge. The Bulls

VIEWS Rick Morrissey are supposed to be superior inside. The matchup between the Bulls and Cavs (or, if you prefer, the Repackaged LeBron Jameses) will be ongoing and intense. The Bulls were trying to send the message they have more depth. The Cavs were trying to send the message they’ll be fine with James, Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving and a bunch of other guys. It was sort of like basketball phone tag. These should be the last two teams standing in the East at the end of the season, provided, you know, a certain person stays healthy. I’d tell people not to lose sight of the fact that Rose suffered what appeared to be a garden-variety sprained ankle, but I’m pretty sure I’d be talking to a wall. The Bulls didn’t have Jimmy Butler, who still is out with a thumb injury. He and the team couldn’t come to terms on a contract by the deadline Friday, meaning he’ll be a restricted free agent after the season. He’ll be here to defend LeBron this season, but who will do it if he signs somewhere else next season? I wonder if the Bulls fully appreciate what he brings to the team. James, the villain the United Center loves to hate, finished with 36 points. Love had 16 points and 16 rebounds. All the talk about the Cavs needing a lot of time to jell might have been premature. As for the Bulls, who played the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, it will be great when conversations about them don’t naturally wander into a discussion about Rose’s health. We’re not there yet. Will we ever be?

MINNEAPOLIS – If Tom Thibodeau can get through this season, go ahead and name him Coach of the Year. Not only is he dealing with minutes restrictions that seem to handcuff his rotation nightly, but the will-he-orwon’t-he controversy surrounding Derrick Rose and his constant injury problems has risen again. A 106-105 victory by the Bulls against Minnesota on Saturday at the Target Center was the latest example of the tightrope Thibodeau and his staff have to walk. The pregame starting lineup became a cruel game of musical chairs. First Rose, who injured his left ankle during a loss on Friday to the Cleveland Cavaliers, was in the starting lineup. Then he was out of it, but active. Then he was out. Completely out. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler (thumb) made his regular-season debut, and wasted little time making an impact,

scoring 24 points, and winning the game at the line by sinking two free throws with 0.2 seconds left. Taj Gibson didn’t even attempt to test his injured left ankle and was inactive. Toss in that big men Joakim Noah and Pau Gasol remain on minutes restrictions. “Any time you’re dealing with [minutes restrictions], there is opportunity for others,” Thibodeau said. Thibodeau had an interesting reply when asked if he had a say in the restrictions process: “Naw, I just listen to what they have to say.” Asked if that was frustrating, he said, “No, I’m fine.” Depth on the Bulls’ bench has made the situation tolerable. “You just lock into the guys you have,” Thibodeau said. “Injuries are part of the game. I’ve been around for 24 years. I’ve had guys get hurt before. I’ve been on teams where guys have gotten through things.” But for the Bulls fulfill expectations,

a healthy Rose is needed. He has played in just 12 regular-season games since his first knee injury in 2012. Thibodeau talks about Rose needing to “get the rust off,” but with continued setbacks, is that possible? “Not only the body,” Thibodeau said. “There’s the physical part but there’s also the competitive part. When you’ve been away this long, that competitive edge, you have to get that back as well. He’s making steady progress and is doing fine. But there’s going to be some ups and downs.” Thibodeau seems willing to gamble that Rose will return to full health. “He’s going to make it all the way back,” Thibodeau said. “It’s going to take a little time. But you see the flashes. Sometimes it’s hard to see day-byday. But if you look back to last month, he’s made up a lot of ground since then. “He’s a lot better now than he was with USA. In another month, he’ll be further down the road. He’s going to make it all the way back.”

MAPLE LEAFS 3, BLACKHAWKS 2

Van Riemsdyk brothers finally face off By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com TORONTO – The walls in the van Riemsdyks’ basement in Middletown, New Jersey, are pock-marked and puckmarked, each scar a story. There are dents from shots being fired, slash marks from sticks slammed in disgust, bruises from bodies being bashed. “Neither of us likes to lose,” Trevor van Riemsdyk said. “I’m sure Mom and Dad had to play referee quite a few times.” “Lots of blood shed and tears cried in the basement,” James van Riemsdyk said. James and Trevor van Riemsdyk spent countless hours competing against each other in that basement, pretending to be NHL players. On Saturday night, for the first time, they competed against each other as actual NHL players – in Toronto, on “Hockey Night in Canada,” no less. It actually was the first time James, a 25-year-old star winger for the Maple

Leafs, and Trevor, a 23-year-old rookie defenseman for the Hawks, played against each other at any level of organized hockey. Neither was sure quite what to expect, but based on those basement games, neither expected the other to take it easy. “I’m sure he won’t be afraid to rub me out in the corner, and I won’t be afraid to finish my check on him,” James said. “So it’ll be fun.” The van Riemsdyks could be the next big hockey family, following in the tradition of the Sutters and the Staals. And youngest brother Brendan is a 6-5 18-year-old who is committed to play at New Hampshire – where both James and Trevor played – next season. James was the No. 2 overall pick by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2007 draft – right behind Patrick Kane – a can’t-miss prospect since he was a teenager. He’s an established star, coming off a 30-goal season and a standout performance (one goal, six assists in six games) in the Sochi Olympics for Team USA. Trevor took a

longer, more unlikely route to the NHL and is one of the early surprises of the season. His college career ended with a broken ankle in January. He signed with the Hawks in March because of their reputation for developing young talent. He entered training camp in September as a wide-eyed rookie with no expectations, nowhere near the top 10 on the depth chart, let alone the top six. Yet here he is, having played in every game this season, proving to be a smart and savvy defenseman who’s not afraid to jump in the rush, but not overeager to do so, either. “You don’t see a defenseman right out of college make the team,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “We didn’t envision him having a sniff of making our team, but he worked his way every day, being consistent, playing the right way, vision on the ice, playing with poise. He’s been a great addition to our team and organization.”

NO. 6 NOTRE DAME 49, NAVY 39

Golson leads Irish over Navy By LaMOND POPE For Sun-Times Media LANDOVER, Md. – Notre Dame had its first chance to make a statement since the initial College Football Playoff rankings were released. It wasn’t an emphatic one. Everett Golson accounted for six touchdowns as Notre Dame escaped with a 49-39 victory against Navy in front of 36,807 fans at FedEx Field. Navy scored 24 consecutive points and led 31-28 going into the fourth quarter. Golson gave the Irish the lead for good with a 3-yard rushing touchdown with 12:22 remaining.

Running back Tarean Folston capped Notre Dame’s next drive with a 25-yard rushing touchdown. Navy didn’t go away. Chris Swain had a 12-yard touchdown catch. The Midshipmen had a successful 2-point conversion to get within three with 4:18 left. Golson put the game away with an 8-yard rushing touchdown. Golson finished with three passing touchdowns and rushed for three more. He passed for 315 yards, going 18 for 25, and rushed for 33 yards on nine carries. The Irish had a chance to rebound from the loss to Florida State and remain in the discussion for one of the four spots in the CFP. The members of the se-

BIG TEN ROUNDUP

lection committee ranked Notre Dame No. 10 on Tuesday. A performance such as this will continue the debate. It was all Notre Dame (7-1) early. The Irish took only 52 seconds to scores, as Golson completed a 78-yard pass to C.J. Prosise for a touchdown on the second play from scrimmage. Navy (4-5) responded with a 75yard drive to tie the score. Quarterback Keenan Reynolds completed a 26-yard pass to an open Thomas Wilson for a touchdown. Notre Dame scored the next 21 to build a 28-7 lead. Golson completed a 2-yard pass to tight end Ben Koyack for a touchdown. Golson decided to

keep it for Notre Dame’s next score. He raced in for a 5-yard touchdown. Golson found Will Fuller for a 4-yard touchdown to cap the team’s next drive. It was Fuller’s ninth touchdown reception. Just as it looked as if Notre Dame would cruise to victory, Navy made a stunning comeback. First, Demond Brown had an 18-yard rushing touchdown with 2:30 left in the first half. Golson threw an interception deep in Navy’s territory with 24 seconds remaining in the second quarter. AP photo Reynolds completed a 42-yard pass to Ryan Williams.

Knight had 230 yards passing and a career-high 146 yards rushing for the Sooners (6-2, 3-2 Big 12, No. 18 CFP). They gained a season-high 751 yards in beating the Cyclones for the 43rd time in their past 45 tries. Sam Richardson had 239 yards passing for Iowa State (2-6, 0-5).

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS, Ohio – Curtis Samuel ran for two touchdowns and J.T. Barrett hit Devin Smith on two scoring passes – all in the first half – and No. 13 Ohio State beat Illinois, 55-14, Saturday night, extending the Buckeyes’ Big Ten winning streak to a record-tying 20. The Buckeyes (7-1, 4-0, No. 16 College Football Playoff) won their sixth in a row – five by lopsided scores. Now they head into the game of the year in the conference, at defending champion Michigan State next week. Donovonn Young’s 5-yard run late in the third quarter broke up the shutout for the Illini (4-5, 1-4). They have dropped four of five. Barrett, nursing a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee and wearing a brace, left at halftime with the Buckeyes up 31-0. He completed 15 of 24 passes for 167 yards.

No. 17 Nebraska 35, Purdue 14: At Lincoln, Neb., Imani Cross had two short touchdown runs after Heisman Trophy hopeful Ameer Abdullah left with a mildly sprained and bruised left knee, and Nebraska beat Purdue to take sole possession of the Big Ten West lead. The Cornhuskers (8-1, 4-1, No. 15 CFP) are a half-game ahead of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin after their third straight win. Purdue (3-6, 1-4) lost its third in a row. Abdullah, who came into the game third nationally in rushing at 156 yards a game, injured his left knee on the Huskers’ second possession while recovering Tommy Armstrong’s fumbled snap at the Purdue 1. Abdullah returned to carry one more time, losing 5 yards, and didn’t return. Maryland 20, Penn St. 19: At State College, Pa., Brad Craddock kicked a 43-yard field goal with 51 seconds left to give the Terrapins a come-from-behind victory. The victory made the Terps bowl-eligible and extended Penn State’s losing streak to four games. Trailing 16-7 late in the third quarter, the Terps (6-3, 3-2 Big Ten) moved ahead after quarterback C.J. Brown engineered back-to-back scoring drives, aided by Alex Twine’s fumble recovery on a Penn State kickoff return. Penn State’s Sam Ficken kicked his fourth field goal with 6:52 remaining to give the Nittany Lions a 19-17 lead. The Terps held Penn State (4-4, 1-4) to a three-and-out and William Likely returned a 37yard Penn State punt 15 yards to the Lions’ 42. Maryland’s Wes Brown took a 13-yard pass from C.J. Brown to the 29, and three plays later, Craddock converted his 14th straight field goal for the winning margin. Wisconsin 37, Rutgers 0: At Piscataway, N.J., Melvin Gordon ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns and Wisconsin limited Rutgers to 139 yards in a victory that made the Badgers bowl eligible for the 13th consecutive season. Gordon scored on runs of 15 and 51 yards in posting his sixth consecutive 100-yard

Corey Clement, who ran for 131 yards, added touchdown runs of 43 and 36 yards and Rafael Gaglianone kicked three field goals as the Badgers dominated in sending the Scarlet Knights’ Homecoming crowd home early. The shutout loss was the first for Rutgers (5-4, 1-4) since 2002, and it stretched its losing streak to three games. It’s been a tough stretch that included blowout losses to No. 13 Ohio State and No. 17 Nebraska. Iowa 48, Northwestern 7: At Iowa City, Iowa, Mark Weisman and Akrum Wadley combined for 200 yards rushing and four touchdowns, leading Iowa over Northwestern. The Hawkeyes (6-2, 3-1 Big Ten) raced to a 24-0 lead in the first quarter and held the Wildcats to a season-low 180 yards of offense. Northwestern (3-5, 2-3) dropped its third straight game. Weisman rushed for 94 yards and three touchdowns. It was the senior’s fifth straight game with multiple scores. Wadley rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown in his first career game. The freshman is Iowa’s first 100-yard rusher in 11 games.

OXFORD, Miss. – Cassanova McKinzy recovered a fumble in the end zone to preserve No. 4 Auburn’s 35-31 victory over No. 7 Mississippi on Saturday night in what amounted to the first College Football Playoff knockout game. The Tigers (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference, No. 3 College Football Playoff) got a reprieve after Rebels receiver Laquon Treadwell lost the ball at the end of a tackle-breaking catch-and-run to the end zone with 1:30 left. It was ruled a touchdown, but the replay official determined he lost the ball before crossing the goal line. McKinzy dove on it, deflating the Ole Miss crowd enjoying team’s best start since 1990. The Rebels (7-2, 4-2, No. 4 CFP) have lost two straight.

That streak ties Auburn for the longest in the nation.

The Wolverines (4-5, 2-3 Big Ten) beat Indiana for the 19th straight time and have won 34 of the past 35 games in the series. This homecoming win came a day after Brandon’s departure was announced – amid increasing frustration among fans with the state of the football program. Tevin Coleman ran for 108 yards for Indiana, but the Hoosiers (3-5, 0-4) couldn’t overcome their injury problems at quarterback. Freshman Zander Diamont managed only 24 yards passing. Brandon’s resignation now puts the focus on Michigan football coach Brady Hoke, whose future also is very much in doubt. The Wolverines need to win two of their final three games to become bowl eligible.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP CHASE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP

Newman, Kenseth in Chase contention with zero wins By STEPHEN HAWKINS The Associated Press FORT WORTH, Texas – Ryan Newman and Matt Kenseth look a bit out of place this late in NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup championship with those zeroes under the column for wins. But with two races left to determine the four drivers who will compete for the season title in the finale at Homestead, they are in the thick of the Chase race. Kenseth starts on the pole Sunday at Texas, with Newman starting seventh. “A championship is still a championship, and the trophy doesn’t have the number of wins underneath it. If we win the championship, that would be great in any form or fashion,” Newman said. “But we’re here to win races as well, and there would be nothing better than to win the next three. There’s no guarantee in any of that.” Newman is the shocking surprise among the eight drivers still in contention for the champion-

The Richard Childress Racing driver is second in the standings, after starting the final 10-race chase last among the 16 drivers who advanced. With consecutive top-five finishes, including third at Martinsville last week, Newman doubled

his season total. He finished in the top five only twice in the 26 races before the Chase. “We’ve gotten stronger as the year has gone. The last two races were nice; to have back-to-back top-fives is something that is much needed at this time of the year for our team,” Newman said. “We wouldn’t be here if we weren’t a contender for the championship. But like I said before, there are no guarantees to anything. There’s no guarantees that we don’t wad it up on the first lap here and don’t make it to Homestead.” Newman won eight races in 2003, but finished sixth in the Cup standings. That also was the year he won at Texas. Kenseth has won twice at the high-banked, 1½-mile Texas track, where his average finish of 8.25 is the best of any driver with at least five starts. This will be his 25th race in Texas, where his 13 top-fives and 17 top 10s are track records, and where his 775 laps led are surpassed by only Tony Stewart’s 801.

Is Bitcoin a fad or the future? What if someone told you about an investment that has made some people millionaires overnight and has both highprofile supporters and a global reach? Would you be tempted to invest? Now what if someone told you that the same investment also could lose most or all of its value almost overnight, and that you might not have access to your money when you need it? How does it sound now? Bitcoin as currency: Bitcoin isn’t a company but a virtual currency supported by a peer-to-peer computerbased electronic cash system first outlined in 2009 by a then-anonymous person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It is not backed by a government or any physical asset, such as gold. Unlike printed currency or coins that are minted, Bitcoin is created by “mining” – using complex software to solve complicated mathematical computations (or contracting with a mining company to do it for you). Solving a problem creates a so-called “block,” and the computer that solved it is rewarded with a set number of digital bitcoins, each of which is simply a set of one public and one private cryptographic key. The number of solutions that can be discovered globally per hour (and thus the number of “blocks” created and bitcoins mined) is limited by the system’s software code. The total number of bitcoins available to be mined eventually is said to be limited to 21 million. However, most users acquire them either by buying them with physical currencies such as dollars or accepting them as payment for goods and services.

How does a Bitcoin payment work? Just as a physical wallet holds paper money and change, a digital wallet stores the private software keys that are bitcoins. It makes or receives payments by communicating with the network of other Bitcoin wallets. Physical bitcoins, which have a software key embedded in them, have begun to be minted. Acceptance of bitcoins as payment is entirely at a seller’s discretion, therefore there is no guarantee you’ll be able to spend them where you want or get the value you expect. Speculating in Bitcoin: To say that Bitcoin as an investment is volatile is an understatement. In addition, the cyber currency has been subject to cyber-attacks that have halted trading on and caused a bankruptcy for a large exchange. Futhermore, because of accusations of money laundering via Bitcoin, scrutiny of digital transactions is increasing.

Liquid Blues bartender Mari Elston inside the Woodstock bar and restaurant. Liquid Blues specializes in organic and handmade ingredients sourced from local sources and offers a variety of live music, small batch spirits, 14 craft and seasonal beers, sampling and daily specials. Liquid Blues recently was named one of the “12 best bars not in Chicago” by Thrillist.

Pouring good libations Liquid Blues grows reputation beyond the Square in Woodstock By CYNTHIA WOLF editorial@nwherald.com WOODSTOCK – If the tie-dyed tapestries, beaded curtains and lava lamps don’t hook you, it’s likely the music, food and people will. “I’ve been coming here since it was Uncle Dan’s,” said Duke Rustile, a Miller 64 on the bar in front of him at Liquid Blues in Woodstock. “I like the old hippie feel. And the food’s good and the [pool] tables are not bad, except for when I lose. Then the tables are terrible.” On any given evening, long-time Woodstock residents like Rustile might mix with people from communities both near and far. Although tucked away as it is a bit below street level at 126 N. Benton St., this bar and eatery has a far-reaching reputation for great music and fun.

Liquid Blues n WHAT: Bar and restaurant n WHERE: 126 N. Benton St., Woodstock n HOURS: 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through

Thursday; 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Kitchen hours are 4 to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. n INFORMATION: 815-337-7254 or www. liquidbluesbar.com

Liquid Blues added to its accolades over the summer when it achieved Top 12 ranking on Thrillist’s list of Best Illinois Bars Not in Chicago. “The town made famous by ‘Groundhog Day’ should be just as famous for this psychedelic dive, but it isn’t,” wrote Matt Lynch and Jay Gentile of Thrillist.com. “Sure, offbeat touches like lava lamps and

beaded curtains are nice and kitschy, but what makes this place stand out is just how much fun it is. “Throw in energetic live bands and a must-have Friday fish fry, and we dare you [double-dog, son] not to have a good time here.” Forty-seven-year-old Jim Bykowski opened Liquid Blues with the backing of his mother, Sherry Bykowski, about 14 years ago. On a recent Wednesday evening, Bykowski readied to greet the folks who love open jam night at the bar. “Tonight we’ll be really busy,” he said, explaining that at 7 p.m. and again at 9 p.m., a pair of exceptionally talented local bands would fire up the crowd before opening things up to anyone who desired a turn. “These musicians, it’s like downtown Chicago blues,” he said. “It’s that good.”

Several years ago, Bykowski about doubled the size of Liquid Blues, expanding into an adjacent building and adding a dining area that is available for private parties. He also has a gaming area set apart from the main barroom, with vintage ’60s concerts playing on three video screens and headsets available for anyone who cares to listen in while waiting for a gaming machine to open. “I grew up as a hippie,” Bykowski said of the place’s theme. “And I love to go to the city and go to small clubs and listen to blues music. My favorite things are playing pool and listening to music. “When this place became available, I thought it was perfect,” he said. “It had a pool table, and it had a stage.”

In tough market, Richmond property goes to auction By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – A 119-acre development planned for Richmond is headed to auction Monday amid sluggish sales of new single and multi-family units in subdivisions throughout McHenry County. Chicago-based Rick Levin & Associates Inc. plans to auction the vacant mixed-use Stone Oak Crossing property for NorStates Bank with an opening bid of $750,000. The property was bought in 2004 for $2.35 million. Developers had sought to build 91 single-family homes, 109 town homes and retail space around a golf course on the property. “There is little, if any, residential or commercial potential today or in the foreseeable future for the Stone Oak Crossing development as planned,” according to a residential market analysis of the property pre-

pared for Waukegan-based NorStates Bank in April by Tracy Cross & Associates Inc., a real estate consulting and market research firm based in Schaumburg. While the county’s real estate market recovers, the supply of existing units at reduced prices has kept many buyers from considering new single-family homes, duplexes, town homes or condominiums. “It’s a lot cheaper to buy right now than it is to build,” said Casey Meyers, president of the Heartland Realtor Organization Board of Directors and managing broker for the Woodstock office of Berkshire Hathaway Starck Real Estate. Many residential development projects went bust or were put on hold when the housing crisis hit and remain dormant. Homebuilders have re-started marketing efforts in some

Building up extra savings takes away volatility Dear Dave, I’m a 26-year-old journalist making $26,000 annually, and the only debt I have is $31,000 in student loans. I’m following your plan, so I also have $1,000 in my starter emergency fund and am working side jobs to make extra money. Since my job field is volatile, I’ve lost and found a couple of jobs in the past few years and have an older car. Should I beef up my emergency fund in case I go through another job loss or I have problems with my vehicle?

– Sarah

Dear Sarah, In your case, I think you might want to increase your emergency fund to around $3,000. Usually, I’d rather people focus on knocking out debt once they have a beginner emergency fund in place, but it sounds like you’ve got extenuat-

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey ing circumstances in your life. Older cars, especially those with lots of miles, could need attention at any time. And you’re right about your job too. The newspaper world is pretty volatile and even downright insecure at times. This isn’t your fault, but I’m glad you’re looking ahead. Just push the pause button on paying off debt for the moment and build up your emergency fund a bit more. That will give you a little more wiggle room in case life decides to throw something unexpected at you. Then, go back to paying off debt before you increase your emergency fund to a full three to six months of expenses.

Having a little financial stability is a big thing for you right now, Sarah. It will help you feel a little more secure until the debt is gone. And once that happens, you’ll really be able to fly.

– Dave

Dear Dave, We had our first child a few months ago, and some of the bills have gone to collections. We’ve paid what we could, but we each make only about $15,000 a year. Now, we’re getting calls and letters from collectors wanting our checking account information and electronic access. When we won’t give it to them, they accuse us of not following the terms and conditions of the agreements. They say we’ll be penalized if we don’t comply. What should we do?

– Stephanie

Dear Stephanie, You’re doing the right thing by not giving them your account information and electronic access. The stuff they’re saying is just collector talk, and they’re full of crap. The next time you talk to one of them, just let them know you have every intention of paying what’s owed. But the bill is going to be paid by you. There’s nothing in an agreement like that which gives them the right to your account numbers or electronic access. These people can stop lying and act right, or they can go jump in the lake. The biggest issue here is your income. If I’m your husband, I’m going to find an extra job delivering pizzas a few nights a week for the time being. He could make an additional $1,000 a month for the next 10 months, and that problem would

be solved. Instead of working 40 to 45 hours a week, try working 60 to 80 for just a little while. Still, you both need to examine your career track for the future. Look into different types of training and education with the attitude of doubling or even tripling your income in the next five years. I want you both to develop long-term plans to increase your income, and a short-term plan to get out from under this debt in a hurry. That’s the kind of thinking that will get rid of collectors faster than anything else. They’re just a symptom of the bigger problem.

technologies for public safety organizations and businesses. The second award went to Huntley-based Tegel Design, which makes industrial machinery for automotive, medical, industrial electronics, consumer and textile industries. In Division 2 (for companies with 25 to 100 employees), MAC Automation of Woodstock won the 2014 Business Champion award. The company serves the plastics industry with auxil-

iary equipment, conveyers, automation equipment, automated box fill systems, portable resin bins, resin loaders, part/runner separators and diverters, inspection tables, cleanrooms, drum and Gaylord box filter covers and more, according to a news release from the MCEDC. In the Division Three category (for companies that employ 101 to 299 employees) the 2014 Business Champion award went to commercial roofing contractor

Metalmaster Roofmaster of McHenry. In the final category (for companies with more than 300 employees), the MCEDC presented two awards – one for a publicly traded business and one for a privately held business. Woodstockbased Claussen Pickles, part of Kraft Foods, was named a winner, along with privately held Charter Dura-Bar, a Woodstock company that makes and distributes continuous cast iron bar stock.

McHenry resident earns top education award McHENRY – McHenry resident Michael Vivona,

local marketing manger for Universal Technical Institute’s Lisle campus, recently was named first runner-up for the 2014 Commitment to Education Award by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges. Vivona began working as an instructor at UTI in 2004. In his current role, he travels across the Midwest to talk about UTI and build community connections on behalf of the UTI campus. “Mike, through his tireless work ethic, has helped cultivate relationships in our regional community that enrich our campus experience for students and faculty alike,” campus President Julie Mueller said in a news release. “It is hard to imagine our campus without the passionate leadership Mike provides. His commitment to our campus inspires us all to provide our students with an outstanding educational opportunity that will lead to a meaningful career in the industry.” The Commitment to Education Award is designed to recognize the outstanding efforts of a member of an ACCSCaccredited school’s staff who is providing outstanding

contributions in support of the school’s mission, its students, and the community that it serves, according to the news release. “I’ve been fortunate to have more than just a job – I’m in a profession I love,” Vivona said in the release. “I am so grateful for this recognition and would like to thank UTI for always supporting me and giving me the opportunity to help make a difference in the organization and in the lives of so many wonderful students.” Originally from Brookyln, New York, Vivona resides in McHenry.

Comfortable atmosphere a main draw • LIQUID BLUES Continued from page D1

Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

A 119-acre planned single-family residential development with a golf course in Richmond is going to auction for $750,000. A market research firm suggested the site, 10 miles from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, has potential as an age-restricted community for seniors.

Wearing a tie-dyed shirt of bright fuschias, oranges, yellows, reds and purples made by his son, Andrew Bykowski, who now runs a store called Blues Inspired on the Square, Jim Bykowski said one of Liquid Blues’ main draws is its comfortable atmosphere. Everyone is welcome, he said, but troublemakers are quickly disinvited. Liquid Blues also features an impressive variety of craft beers, including Lazy Magnolia Pecan and Narwhal on tap, and specialty hard liquors, such as William Wolf Pecan Bourbon Whiskey, Monkey

With little potential for development in near future, bank to liquidate property Continued from page D1 McHenry County developments, but sales have been slow, even in more populated suburban areas closer to jobs and transportation hubs, according to the Tracy Cross & Associates report. The report said there was “no potential” in the next “several years” for selling attached development such as town homes, duplexes and condominiums in the Richmond market based on sales rates and price points of other residential developments in the area such as Kensington Manor in Richmond, Running Brook Farm in Johnsburg, Victoria Acres in Hebron and Meadows of West Bay in Wonder Lake. The report similarly ruled out single-family development based on the pace of sales and prices of homes in Ryland’s Ashton Pointe development in Crystal Lake, Wil-

liam Ryan’s The Enclave at Fox Trails in Cary and D.R. Horton’s Running Brook Farm in Johnsburg. It said demand for commercial property in the Richmond area was “extremely shallow,” noting only two commercial sales in the village in the past six years. “The realities of the Richmond area marketplace preclude a reasonable marketing timeframe for conventional family-oriented residential development,” the Tracy Cross & Associates report said. The firm recommended the project be converted to an “agerestricted active adult community,” which would require rezoning. To liquidate the properties, the firm recommended discounting the property by 60 percent to allow for bulk sale (the report put the total discounted liquidation revenue at about $1.5 million). Online bidding for the property will be from Nov. 3 to 11. “Interest [in the property] has been lighter than we had

“Building there tomorrow is unlikely, but a different owner may have a different vision for the property.”

Terry Koehler Woodstock resident Shoulder and Pig’s Nose scotches, and Old Overholt Rye. For those who are hungry, Bykowski especially recommended checking out the N’awlins-esque catfish po-boy ($9) or even the macaroni and cheese ($8.50), the latter of which is made with a white wine and buttermilk sauce. “It’s really interesting,” he said. Woodstock resident Terry Koehler said he’d highly

recommend the po-boy, as well as the place, to anyone who has yet to experience Liquid Blues. The Vietnam War-era veteran sat on a stool near Rustile, a Pabst Blue Ribbon before him, and a plasma ball shooting sparks toward its glass surface on the bar to his left. “The family that owns this place, that sets the tone for everything that goes on here,” Koehler said. “And the food’s excellent.”

hoped,” said Rick Levin, president of the real estate auction marketing firm. “This could be a good value for someone who believes in the future of Richmond.” The village board hasn’t taken an official position on the auction or plans to market it as an age-restricted community, Village President Pete Koenig said. “The village isn’t in a position to purchase or develop it,” he said. “But we’re very interested to see what takes place. Building there tomorrow is unlikely, but a different owner may have a different vision for the property.”

It can be exciting to spot a celebrity out in the real world, and if you’re active on social media, your first instinct may be to share the sighting with the world. That’s natural, but if you’re on the job, you may want to think twice before you post.

Assuming your work email is private “Email has become one of the quickest, and most surprising, reasons to be fired,” says Deborah Sweeney, CEO of MyCorporation.com. Company-owned email systems are often monitored, but many people erroneously assume conversations conducted through these systems are private. Badmouthing your employer, sending inappropriate messages or using your business email for personal reasons can put you at risk for a firing, she says.

Enjoying legal drugs in your spare time If you vacation in a state where marijuana is legal and partake while you’re there, can you get in trouble with your employer? Bradley Hunt, attorney with Brinkley Walser PLLC, says his firm examined that question for a client and found: “While that consumption of marijuana in Colorado may have, in fact, been legal and on the up and up, if that employee was administered a random drug test by the employer per company policy, and that test came back positive, their employment can still be terminated even if the use of marijuana was done le-

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - This can be a prosperous year if you resist the tendency to blow situations out of proportion. Personal issues will not have a negative bearing on your success if you deal with them quickly. Stay involved in projects that stimulate your intellect and allow you to be creative. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Put your interests ﬁrst. Others know that they can depend on you, but if you take on too many added responsibilities, you will put your health in jeopardy. Learn to say no. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A partnership is likely. Joining clubs, service

groups or educational activities will allow you to interact with a wide variety of people who can improve your prospects. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Good results will occur if you diligently pursue ﬁnancial prospects. Rather than rely on word of mouth, you should check all the information ﬁrst to ensure that it is valid. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t let anxiety get you down. Be proud of who you are and what you can do. You can deal with any situation if you remain calm. Focus on the positive. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dealing

with elderly relatives or youngsters can be trying. Get in touch with someone who will help you or offer suggestions that will ease your responsibilities. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Keep your dealings professional. Stretching the truth or taking shortcuts will land you in trouble. You will get where you want to be if you play by the rules. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dwelling on disappointments or disputes will cause you stress and leave you dissatisﬁed. Go out of your way to help others in order to ﬁnd a positive diversion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your knowledge and charisma will charm even your most cynical opponent. Present your plans to a potential partner. Be conﬁdent, and you will draw more interest. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your complaints will fall on deaf ears. Face up to your responsibilities without griping. Focus on maintaining the peace, not futile resentment. Positive thoughts will bring favorable results. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Consider how others view you. If you are fun to be with, everyone will want to be with you. A sincere gesture and a kind word are all that’s

required. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take credit for the things you do. You have what it takes to excel in your chosen field. Don’t let insecurity or self-doubt keep you from a golden opportunity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you take advantage of a chance to reconnect with someone from your past, you will find out valuable information that will help you understand how to utilize your skills to fit the changing economic climate.

Monkeying around with Monkees question in the heat of the moment after an insult or possibly a cheating incident. Also, gunfight participants were not 50 or 75 feet away from each other; they were up close, with multiple shots made by both sides and stray bullets hitting bystanders. Blame the dime novels for this one, although Hollywood and television helped perpetuate the “romanticized” gunfights.

I had a sleepless night and turned on the TV, and I came across an old show featuring the band The Monkees. How long were they together before they got their own show? In which country did they originate? – J.M., Salisbury, Maryland The Monkees were formed for the American television show “The Monkees,” with three Americans (Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork) and one Brit (Davy Jones). The show aired from 1966 to 1968, but the band continued for many years. The Monkees sold more than 75 million records worldwide.

Lauren Bacall and Frank Sinatra had a steamy relationship. How long was it before the two got involved after “Bogie” (Humphrey Bogart) passed away? – I.N.D., Germantown, Tennessee According to an August 2014 article from the Daily Mail of England, Bacall and Sinatra got involved while Bogart was stricken with throat cancer. After his death, they “came out” as a couple. Fourteen months after Bogart’s death, Sinatra proposed marriage to Bacall, and she accepted. She revealed the details of the proposal to a newspaper reporter; Sinatra became livid with her, and he called off the marriage. They did not speak for six years.

On my way to work, I stop at a convenience store for a cup of coffee. Because the cups are paper, you need a paper band to insulate your fingers from the heat of the beverage. What is the name of that paper band? – R.M.L., Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania The sleeve is formally known as a zarf. At one time, tea served in China and Japan and coffee served in Turkey were served in handleless cups. To protect the user’s fingers, the cups were placed in a holder known as a zarf. Zarf is Arabic for “container” or “envelope.” Today, coffee sleeves have the trademarked name Java Jacket.

I was thrilled when someone gave me

Read all about it ...

“Wednesday is Prince spaghetti day.” Who says it is? Why is it called Prince spaghetti? – C.L.B., Lynn, Massachusetts

Did you know? Raquel Welch (above) auditioned for the role of Mary Ann Summers on the TV series “Gilligan’s Island.” The role went to Dawn Wells. several dozen original episodes of the TV Western “The Rifleman.” Lucas McCain plays the role of a peaceful man, always trying to solve problems by means other than violence. But for a peacemaker, he sure did shoot and kill a lot of people. How many? When did the series air? – W.K.W., Salinas, California “The Rifleman” aired 168 episodes from 1958 to 1963. Chuck Connors played the role of Lucas McCain, also known as the Rifleman. In total, there were about 245 killings, with Lucas responsible for 120 of them. Yup, that’s a lot for a peaceable fella.

I saw an interview with an expert on the Old West. He claims the face-to-face gunfights in the middle of a town never happened – he blamed Hollywood and later TV for this exaggeration. I’m shocked. Is this true? – J.C., Oxnard, California I talked to several Old West historical societies to answer this question, and they say those shootouts did happen, but very rarely. Rarer yet was the planned gunfight. Instead, the fights happened

Sunday Thursday

In 1912, three immigrants from the same village in Sicily, Italy, started a small spaghetti manufacturing company in Boston’s North End. The address of their storefront was 92 Prince Street. Starting in the 1950s, the ad campaign “Wednesday is Prince spaghetti day” was created to introduce non-Italians to pasta products. The campaign was successful. In 1969, the famous Anthony TV commercial was introduced, in which a mother calls out, “Anthony! Anthony!” from a window while a young boy – really named Anthony – races through the streets to get home for a spaghetti dinner.

Not long ago, I saw a picture of a black rooster. It was the evilest thing I’ve ever seen. Is this a breed of poultry, or was the image edited by Photoshop? – G.H., Peoria, Illinois What you saw was an ayam cemani of Indonesia. Ayam means “chicken” in Indonesian, and cemani means “completely black” in Japanese. The birds are completely black; they have black plumage, black legs and toenails, a black beak and tongue, black comb and wattles, black meat and bones – it even has dark organs.

Favorite sweaters get second life around the home By KIM COOK

Skip the crafting

The Associated Press Cozying up in a favorite sweater is one of the distinct pleasures of autumn. This fall, designers and retailers are stitching up sweater motifs on an array of home decor. So while you’re wrapping yourself in a big, soft cardigan, you also can grace your space with a dollop of knitted comfort. Hannah Millman, executive editorial director of crafts for Martha Stewart Living, said knitwear is a trend with near-universal appeal. She suggests some do-it-yourself projects. “Almost everyone has a memory of a sweater that makes them feel good. What’s so great about repurposing one of your own is that you get to keep it and enjoy it,” she said. “And if you’ve found one at a market that someone may have knit back in the ’40s, you can give it the opportunity to be loved again by making it into something new.” One of Millman’s favorite ways to reuse sweaters: Collect a bunch of creamyhued ones, in one type of knit or perhaps several, and cut them up to make a blanket, pillow or rug. You’ll find project ideas and instructions at marthastewart. com as well as countryliving.com, where there also are how-tos for lamps, bowls and sconces. “Creating a little story on pillows using pieces of old sweaters is a big trend,” she said. Look for pieces in gradations of color – perhaps pale pink to deep cherry, or sky blue to indigo. Or search tag sales and thrift stores for sweaters with nature motifs to create a group of woodland pillows. Those dreadful Christmas sweaters of old can be transformed into new Christmas stockings; other heavily patterned and colorful sweaters make great rugs. Millman suggests using a rotary cutter and anchoring the edges of a loose knit with masking tape while cutting, to reduce fraying. She also advises washing any woolens in hot soapy water in case there are

fibers smush together. If you line-dry the garment, the knit pattern remains and the fibers stay separated.

If you aren’t up for a craft project yourself, don’t worry – there are lots of stores offering sweater-themed items. • Wayfair’s got One Bella Casa’s My Christmas sweater pillow and Rizzy Home’s cable-knit pillow.

All our kids Network leads way in developmental screenings in McHenry County

smile, a step, a first word. These are simple acts, but for infants and children, these are milestones. Parents know their children best, and even the slightest concern that they’re not meeting these milestones can be unsettling. Help is available. All Our Kids Early Childhood Network is a program under the Options & Advocacy for McHenry County umbrella. Since forming in January 2013, the network has created the McHenry County Developmental Screening Program, which has provided training and support to 23 child care and preschool facilities.

It recently offered its free screening program at Adult and Child Therapy Services in Woodstock. Licensed occupational, physical and speech therapists conducted ASQ screenings to look for disruptions in motor development, social and communication skills and problem solving. Karen Rios, program manager of Child and Family Connections, an early intervention program with Options & Advocacy, has been involved with the screenings since 2012, when Illinois Action for Children and a local consultant conducted a needs assessment in the county and determined that early screening was a need in the county. The group started testing in day cares, teaching facilities how to screen children every six months. This soon expanded to community screenings for children from birth to age 6. “One of our mottos is, ‘The sooner they start, the further they’ll go,’ ” Rios said. “Testing is proven to reduce the amount of time children need to receive special services as well as special education needed in school districts.” The network is one of 13 such community-based collaborations in the state with the goal of helping families with young children get the best start in life. Initiatives across the state include helping ensure that babies are born healthy, that children maintain physical and emotional health and well-being, that children enter school ready to learn, and that parents are leaders in their families and communities. In addition to the screening program, the McHenry County network plans to work to promote community collaboration, avoid duplication of services, identify a single network of resources for families to access and develop strong leaders within the community to take action to address needs. Susan Beckman, AOK Coordinator,

All Our Kids Network speech therapist Carmen Jordan works with Luke Downing during a recent developmental screening event in Woodstock. said the group’s next step is to partner with school districts in the county, and the hope is to have a pilot program set up within the next few months. “Our goal is for every child in McHenry County to have the opportunity to get a regular developmental screening,” Beckman said. “The families that made appointments at our event did have concerns and had a feeling that there may be something to evaluate a little bit further.” Jaret Ross of Crystal Lake was concerned about 19-month-old Benson’s social skills. “He is my first child, and as parents, we get busy with work and everything else, and we can’t always see the signs or symptoms,” Ross said. “They asked some simple questions and answered mine when I voiced my concerns. It felt deeper than a doctor’s visit.” Ross saw a flyer for the event at the library and thought it was refreshing

to see that there was a group concerned with how well kids are doing. The network provided everyone make-and-takes, activities that families could use at home to promote motor, fine motor, sensory and communication skills. “I love to play with my son, and this is something [he] and I can do together that doesn’t cost money and that helps him and allows us to spend more time together. They should definitely do this more often,” Ross said. By the end of day, 25 children had been screened, and of the 25, nine were referred for early intervention and four were referred for further testing with their local school district. “These events are a great way for families to see these screenings in action,” Beckman said.

Taking steps to understanding cognitive therapy As human beings, we are always thinking. We tell ourselves a story about how the world works, about our own place in it, about right and wrong, about the significance of our personal experiences and observations. A cognitive therapist may ask you what is going on in your life, but what we really want to know is what you are telling yourself about your situation. And, ultimately, we want to teach you how to observe your own thoughts, challenge those that are irrational and come into a more balanced view of yourself and the world. We are very attached to our stories. Even the tragedies hold personal meanings for us, and we are loathe to give up our beliefs without a fight. That is why a cognitive therapist enlists the client’s aid. I assign homework so clients may experience for them-

selves how their thoughts determine their feelings and actions. First, I ask them to describe a painful or difficult situation without any “flourishes.” I want them to write down exactly what happened, where it happened, when it happened and who was involved. Notice I don’t ask “how” or “why” it happened. Those are thoughts and beliefs, rather than facts. In the next session, I may ask him to tell me how he feels about the situation. He may respond with “angry” or “sad” or “confused.” I ask which of those is the strongest feeling, and he will pick one. His next homework assignment will be to write down all the thoughts, ideas and beliefs he has about the situation, and then see whether he can discover himself which thought is tied most closely to his strongest emotion. For example, a man’s life had been turned on its head

because his church had rejected him for being homosexual and his closest friends had all died of AIDs. He also believed his family had turned against him, and as proof, showed me a letter his sister had written. The letter, as far as I could see, was the kind of innocuous, friendly letter an older sister writes to her younger brother. “You see?” he demanded when I had finished. “I don’t see anything negative about this letter,” I told him. “It doesn’t seem at all like the hateful, self-righteous letter you described.” “You have to read between the lines!” he shouted. “Ah,” I said, “that is the problem.” Because, of course, between the lines were where his thoughts, imagination and beliefs about his sister’s opinion of him lay. It is by writing out these thoughts that the weakness

peace within him or herself through self-observation, to stand outside himself and to engage his higher processes to serve his own best interests. One of my clients, who had been working with me awhile and had come to the end of our time together, asked me for some advice “in a nutshell” that she could take away with her in case she encountered problems in the future. “First,” I told her, “Don’t believe everything you think. And, secondly, don’t take anything personally.”

in our arguments against ourselves is revealed: We discover things such as “This should not have happened,” and “They should have believed me,” and other nonsense, which adds up to beliefs such as “The world should be fair.” Oh, if only it were. But, alas, the world is not fair. Neither is the world unfair. It simply is the way it is. Facing the reality of things as they are, we come up with a more balanced thought, such as, “I wish this had not happened, but it did, and there were consequences I have to take care of.” I think the prime mover in any kind of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. The relationship ideally should be one of collaboration, not coercion. For me, personally, this approach through cognitive therapy is a good fit. I have great faith in the individual’s ability to change, to make

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.

Family chafes under tyranny of a TV dictator Dear Abby: I love my husband. We have been married for 45 years. But if he isn’t in control of the TV, he is unbearable. Even if someone else is watching something, he will come in and demand to change the channel. If he falls asleep and we change the channel back, he gets mad when he wakes up. He’ll change it back and immediately fall asleep again. I have tried to get him to understand he is being rude, but he doesn’t agree. I realize this isn’t a serious problem, but it’s very annoying. Thanks for any suggestions you might have on this issue. – Married To A TV Hog Dear Married: Trying to

reason with your husband won’t work because what he’s really doing is asserting himself as top dog in the household. I’m sorry you didn’t ask me sooner because I could have saved you years of frustration by recommending you get a second TV set in another room. Dear Abby: I inherited my mom’s engagement ring a few years ago when she passed away. I don’t know what to do with it now. It appraised for $3,500, but I understand that is full retail. Female friends say I need to keep it to give to a special woman (or use the stone for another ring to offer her). I’m almost 50 and haven’t been in a relationship in

many years. My last date was nearly 10 years ago, so I am thinking it is not likely I will ever have anyone to share the ring with. I hate for it to sit in a box until I am gone for someone else to deal with. Do you think I should sell it or continue to hold onto it? I live a debt-free life after paying off my house a couple of years ago, so the extra money isn’t a necessity. –

David In Kentucky Dear David: Gems are meant to be enjoyed, and it is doing no one any good sitting in a drawer, a cupboard or a safe. If you have no relatives who might like to have the ring or the stone, then sell it. Dear Abby: In late 2012, I met the most amazing man

I’ve ever known, “Sean.” We fell in love instantly. We had a perfect love until eight months later, when I suffered a mental breakdown. I didn’t know how to deal with anything in my life. I contemplated suicide. I pushed Sean away. In spite of all his pleas and loving expressions, I pushed harder. Finally, six months into my recovery, I have started to change my life. I already had told Sean to move on. In the six months since we split up, he has recently started dating someone else. I’m better now and want him back. He still loves me and wants me back, too, but says he’s afraid of another breakdown. What do I do? Sean is ab-

solutely perfect for me, and our love was fantastic up until that breakdown. Help me, please. – Frantic In Fresno Dear Frantic: I’ll try. If Sean is willing, schedule a session (or two) for both of you with your therapist, so he can discuss his concerns with a mental health professional who is familiar with your case. It may help Sean understand what happened, allay his fears and facilitate you getting back together if he’s sincere about what he’s telling you.

CUSTOM REUPHOLSTERY

Questions? Visit northwestcommunitycounseling.com

No winners in family game with what the he perceives is best. The alcoholic then does not take the advice, resents the family member for being condescending, and then uses this resentment to justify drinking. • The advice is given, and the alcoholic takes it, or says he does, and then blames the family member for the results. In this scenario, a half-hearted effort toward solution is given by the alcoholic, and failure is inevitable regardless of the quality of the advice. The alcoholic has then avoided responsibility for the outcome and resents the family member for the failure, once again giving them a good reason to drink. • The advice is angrily withheld, and the alcoholic is outraged that anyone should be angry at them and resents the family member, which justifies a drink. The end result of this game

is usually that the alcoholic drinks, and the well-meaning family member feels guilty, angry and responsible. It might look like there’s no way out of this one, but there is. The solution is to avoid the game entirely. The family member recognizes the game as it is about to start and, rather than offering advice or angrily withholding it, he or she simply says, “I know you are strong and smart, and I support your decision whatever it turns out to be.” The family member has to be willing to let go and allow the alcoholic the dignity of his own choices. It’s easier said than done. That’s where the recovery part comes in.

Alcoholic families have behavior patterns other families don’t have, or at least they don’t have in the same quantity and intensity. When the primary goal for the alcoholic or addict is to use, all manner of manipulation is on the table, and it’s usually not conscious. One of the most commonly played games is one I’ll call “please help me/it’s all your fault.” In this game, the alcoholic plays helpless and asks a family member for advice. This is most often used by teens, but adults can play too. Following are the three most common scenarios: • The advice is given, and the alcoholic spends the rest of the conversation explaining why he or she cannot follow it. In this scenario, the family member is put in the position of having to convince or plead with the alcoholic to follow through

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP” STARRING: Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth, Mark Strong PLOT: A woman wakes up every day, remembering nothing as a result of a traumatic accident in her past. RATED: R for some brutal violence and language TIME: 1 hour, 32 minutes VERDICT: Again teamed with Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman stars as an amnesia victim whose brain resets back to 13 years ago after each night’s slumber in the decidedly average psychological thriller “Before I Go to Sleep.” Writer-director Rowan Joffe’s adaptation of S.J. Watson’s bestseller honors the lurid spirit of the page-turner enough to satisfy fans, but he doesn’t transmute the material into something richer and deeper as, say, Hitchcock would. One of the film’s minor virtues is how it plays with casting, exploiting expectations audiences have around actors. It works especially well with Firth, who is the very apogee of cuddly male rectitude and moral probity. Here, however, he shows off a dark side. The film isn’t such a repertoire-stretch for Kidman. Joffe has something of a knack for coaxing bad performances from usually good actors. There’s less damage this time to the cast’s reputation, but still he shows a singular lack of originality. It’s a shame because this is exactly the kind of trashy read of a book that in the hands of the right director could have been elevated into something really special with its peculiarly female take on paranoia and anxieties about domesticity, aging, memory and identity. – The

“Fury” STARRING: Brad Pitt, Shia LeBeouf, Logan Lerman PLOT: April, 1945. As the allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. RATED: R for strong sequences of war violence, some grisly images and language throughout TIME: 2 hours, 14 minutes VERDICT: The relentless barrage of heavy-handedness in David Ayer’s World War II tank drama “Fury” begins immediately. Ayer, a veteran of the Navy and L.A. crime films “Training Day” and “End of Watch,” wants to make it clear that he’s making a film about the barbaric brutality

LOCAL SHOWTIMES of war. Setting it in April 1945 in the waning days of WWII in Europe only furthers the point that all war – even the supposedly “good” ones – is hell. The romance of “the greatest generation” has been drained away, leaving only the harsh realities of war and an honest view of what it does to men. But “Fury” is by no means a realistic movie. It’s an “unflinching” account of war – “unflinching,” in quotes, because every moment of the film is composed to grind your face into the muck and be proud of itself for doing so. Because this grisly verisimilitude is the point of “Fury,” it ought to have considered drawing from real events for its story or central battle. Instead, it culminates in a lengthy, against-the-odds fight that has less in connection with WWII than the movie “300.” The drama of the pure-Hollywood end is weakened because the stories of the men haven’t been articulated. – The

“NIGHTCRAWLER” STARRING: Jake Gyllenhaal, Bill Paxton PLOT: When Lou Bloom, a driven man desperate for work, muscles into the world of L.A. crime journalism, he blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story. Aiding him in his effort is Nina, a TV-news veteran. RATED: R for violence including graphic images, and for language TIME: 1 hour, 57 minutes VERDICT: The most frightening thing about Jake Gyllenhaal in “Nightcrawler” – even more than those sallow, sunken cheeks, those googly eyes, and that unkempt hair tied into a greasy bun – is his smile. They invented the word “creepy” for that smile, a goofy, confident grin that reaches its full breadth just when you’re starting to realize how deranged this guy really is. Gyllenhaal’s bold, committed performance makes “Nightcrawler” one of the most entertaining movies of the year – though hardly the most profound. The film seeks to convey the seaminess of local TV news, summed up by the phrase “If it bleeds, it leads.” The thing is: We already knew this. And frankly, there are so many disturbing things going on in the world right now that it’s hard to get too worked up about it. But that doesn’t mean that “Nightcrawler” – think “Network,” transformed into a taut action film – isn’t a compelling and altogether impressive directorial

debut for screenwriter Dan Gilroy (“The Bourne Legacy”). Gilroy starts slowly, then ups the pace until we’re truly breathless by the culmination of the final action scene. It’s a doozy, gorgeously handled by cinematographer Robert Elswit, who makes nighttime Los Angeles a simultaneously chilling and beautiful place. The film suggests that it’s our own bottomless desire for blood, every night at 6 and 11, that creates this monster. Maybe. But the character Gyllenhaal and Gilroy have created is monstrous enough. Pass the popcorn.
