Officials probe chief’s departure Report: Holiday Hills president threatened job of former top cop By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com HOLIDAY HILLS – A July dispute between Holiday Hills Village President Dan Drury and then-Police Chief Larry Mason could have led to Mason’s resignation weeks later, some village trustees believe.

Mason, saying he would find a police chief that would do the job if he refused. “The resignation was a forced resignation because of Drury’s vindictiveness,” village Trustee Rich Young said. “The neighbor had been at the board meeting and this special meeting following right after it, so he had been in Chief Ma-

son’s view for almost three hours and [he] could plainly see that the neighbor was not intoxicated.” In Mason’s police report, he documents a lengthy feud between the resident and Drury, who are neighbors. He said the meeting was to resolve the noise complaint issue and the underlying tension Mason

feared would escalate in the form of more complaints. But Drury said the police report was inaccurate and that an investigation into the incident has been reopened. Drury said residents called him with concerns about the neighbor that night and he asked Mason

Dredging stops for the year

Wonder Lake Master Property Owners Association President Dick Hilton discusses on Thursday the more than $7 million dredging project that has shut down for the season.

Removal of sediment from Wonder Lake to continue in the spring By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com WONDER LAKE – During the summer, a barge with a white shelter sat on the west bay of Wonder Lake. The dredging machine had a cutter in the water to break up sediment, which was sucked out and pumped through a 1.5-mile-long tube to a former agricultural field. On that field, sediment, which is

80 to 90 percent water, is in the process of drying out. The machine has gone idle for the year, as temperatures have dropped, making dredging difficult. “The pipeline is freezing up on them,” Master Property Owners Association President Dick Hilton said. “It’s pretty tough to push frozen water through a frozen pipeline.” In the first year of lake dredging, workers have dredged about two-

thirds of the west bay, lake manager Randy Stowe estimated. A final tally of how much was dredged out this year has yet to be determined, Stowe said. Contractors are being paid by volume, and have agreed to dredge out about 480,000 cubic yards of sediment as part of the project, which will continue in the spring, once temperatures allow, Stowe said. Workers had hope to dredge

more, but temperatures dropped sooner than hoped. “We just weren’t planning on winter to come a month early,” Stowe said. To pay for the work, the MPOA had issued $5.9 million in bonds. Because of lawsuits and extra engineering work during the permitting process, the MPOA had to raise about

WASHINGTON – In a broad test of his executive powers, President Barack Obama declared Wednesday he will sidestep Congress and order his own federal action on immigration – in measures that could spare from deportation as many as 5 million people illegally in the U.S. and set up one of the most pitched partisan confrontations of his presidency. O b a m a Barack Obama declared that Washington has allowed America’s immigration problem “to fester for too long.” The president will use an 7 p.m. address Thursday to announce his measures and will sign the executive actions during a rally in Las Vegas on Friday. In doing so, Obama will be taking an aggressive stand that he had once insisted was beyond his presidential power. As many as 5 million people in the country illegally are likely to be protected from deportation and made eligible for work permits under the plan. They would not have a path to citizenship, however, and the actions could be reversed by a

More sportsmanship needed in politics SPRINGFIELD – I recently watched my 9-year-old daughter, Gracie, shake hands with her opponents after a tough loss on the basketball court. Basketball is a new thing for her. In fact, it’s the first time she has competed in any sport. Already she has learned one thing: Winning is a whole lot more fun than losing. But even after a tough loss, we expect her to shake hands or high-five members of the opposing team and congratulate them. Some folks may consider this to be a meaningless ritual. Not me. How one handles loss speaks to character. After all, winning is nice, but character is more important. Politicians could learn something from those 9-year-olds. During the three decades I’ve cov-

LOTTERY

VIEWS Scott Reeder ered politics, I’ve seen it all. When I was a city hall reporter in the Quad Cities, a drunken mayoral candidate on election night belittled the intelligence of voters for not choosing him. After listening to that performance, I had to say the voters were smarter than he thought. On the other hand, I remember a victorious U.S. Rep. Lane Evans offer consolation to the man he defeated and publicly state he would seek his advice on how to serve. Evans was a class act. Unfortunately, there are sore losers unable to let the word “congratulations”

past their lips. To put it in the words of Jimmy Carter: “Show me a good loser, and I’ll show you a loser.” He said that after losing a tough primary race for Georgia governor. Of course, Carter resurrected his political career and later became governor and then president. And let’s not forget Richard Nixon, who infamously said after losing the race for governor of California, “You don’t have Nixon to kick around anymore.” My point? It doesn’t matter if you are a Republican or a Democrat, losing is the pits, but how you respond to your loss speaks volumes about yourself. Earlier this month, Gov. Pat Quinn lost a tough race for governor. There is no shame in that. The one thing we know about

every election is that there will be a winner – and there will be a loser. He didn’t concede the night of the election. The next day, he offered no congratulations to his opponent and failed to even say his name. There is no mandate in politics that you have to be a good sport. And civility was largely absent from the gubernatorial campaigns of Quinn and his opponent, Bruce Rauner. But now that the election is over, civility would be a good balm to apply for an electorate weary of mudslinging and anxious for answers.

LOCAL BRIEFS One taken to hospital after crash in Richmond RICHMOND – A three-vehicle crash with minor injuries was caused by a deer running out in front of a vehicle headed south on Route 31, a fire official said. The Richmond Fire Protection District responded about 6 p.m. Wednesday to Route 31 just south of Harts Road, Lt. Eric Schwind said. The crash occurred when a deer ran out in front of a vehicle, which hit the deer, causing debris to fly back to hit the car behind it, Schwind said. When the driver of that car hit the brakes, her vehicle was hit from behind. The driver of the rear-ended vehicle was taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry with minor injuries, Schwind said. The crash caused minimal traffic problems as all the vehicles were on the west shoulder of Route 31, he said.

Village plans to use revenue to cover park maintenance, replacement work By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Village trustees recently hiked a tax on Algonquin residents’ phone bills by roughly 60 percent to help officials maintain playgrounds, bike paths and other park infrastructure. The telecommunications tax increase should generate about $400,000 more in village revenue a year, once fully in effect. The increase also provides an annual revenue

source for the village’s park fund, which covers park infrastructure, said Assistant Village Manager Michael Kumbera. The village received about $541,000 last fiscal year from the tax, applied to voice charges for cellphone and landline use and also DSL or dial-up Internet services. The tax doesn’t apply to charges on text messages or data. “As these [park] facilities age and replacement comes on the radar, we need a reoccur-

ring revenue source to make these replacements,” Kumbera said. “This is going exclusively to infrastructure, nothing on the operations end.” The Village Board earlier this week approved the increase, 5-1, with Trustee Debby Sosine voting against it. Sosine could not be reached for comment Wednesday. The board’s approval increased the village’s telecommunications tax rate from 3.75 percent to 6 percent. Areas such as Cary, Crystal Lake,

Huntley, Lake in the Hills and Woodstock also tax residents’ phone bills at a 6 percent rate, according to village data. Because of technology improvements, revenue from the telecommunications tax either is flat or slowly declining since more people are using text messages to communicate, village officials had said. Meanwhile, revenue from residential development typically fueled the village’s park fund. As development subsided, officials had to start look-

HUNTLEY – Weather permitting, construction crews should complete the roof to Centegra Health System’s new Huntley hospital by the end of December, inching the $233 million project closer to its 2016 completion date. By April, Schaumburg-based Power Construction should have the exterior of the proposed five-story, 128bed hospital finished, said Susan Milford, Centegra’s senior vice president of strategy and development. Crews would then spend about a year building the

“We’re still on track to treat our first patients in the fall of 2016,” Milford said. “We are already so excited to bring additional services to the people of northern Kane and southern McHenry counties.” Since early March, Power

Construction has built the hospital’s foundation, placed steel beams and most recently installed the hospital’s exterior walls. Doctors and nurses from Centegra also have visited the health system’s Huntley campus at Algonquin and Haligus roads to view mock-up hospital rooms to ensure the designs fit the needs of patients and health care workers, Milford said. “Their feedback is helping us make small tweaks to our plans, so we can build the best hospital for the community,” she said. The broader hospital design includes an eight-bed intensive care unit, full-service emergency department, a dedicated women’s center and a helipad for transporting critically injured patients.

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board approved a rewrite of its Stormwater Management Ordinance that authors said makes it simpler and more user-friendly. Board members voted Tuesday evening, 19-5, to ratify the changes to the 10-year-old ordinance, which state law allows counties to enact to mitigate flood damage, protect the environment and encourage sustainable development. The ordinance is enforced countywide – most development-related County Board ordinances apply only to unincorporated areas. Supporters of the revisions state they in fact scale back many of the changes that go above and beyond the regulations mandated under state and federal law. One of the goals of the review was to remove inconsistencies, streamline the permit and review process, and eliminate unduly burdensome provisions that do little to accomplish the ordinance’s goals. “Ninety percent of all the revisions being considered [Tuesday] are in fact rolling back regulations in places

ing elsewhere for annual revenue, Kumbera said. Numerous park facilities and bike paths also are beginning to reach the end of their useful life spans, requiring officials to do more maintenance and replacement work, Kumbera said. Aside from park infrastructure, the village also could use the added revenue for wetland restoration and stream corridor maintenance projects.

CRYSTAL LAKE

City to install equipment at Man charged with DUI wastewater treatment plant Tree, hydrant Two grants could pay for most costs By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The replacement of one turbo blower at one of the city of Crystal Lake’s wastewater treatment plants with an energy efficient model has reaped $300 a day in savings, the city’s public works director said. The director, Victor Ramirez, was pitching replacing two more blowers at the plant using two grants that should cover nearly all of the project’s costs – including engineering, the purchase of the equipment and their installation – to the Crystal Lake City Council at its meeting Tuesday evening. The council ultimately ap-

proved the project and, waiving the formal request-for-proposal process, hired Crystal Lakebased Baxter and Woodman to do the engineering. The only concern came from Councilman Ralph Dawson, Ralph w h o o p p o s e d Dawson hiring a firm without taking the project out to bid, an opinion that was originally seconded by Councilman Jeffrey Thorsen. Staff had two reasons for recommending to move ahead without the bid process, Ramirez said. The timeline associated with one of the grants makes it difficult to order a turbo blower and have it installed by the grant-imposed deadline, he said. And because Baxter and Woodman was the firm

involved with the first turbo blower’s installation, it makes sense to stay with them, maintaining continuity and project knowledge. “I buy that,” Thorsen said. Baxter and Woodman was the lowest responsive bidder when the city requested proposals on the first installation, according to council documents. They charged $37,700 the first time around, but this time, even though the project includes two blowers instead of one, the proposal cost came in at $19,900. The city expects to be reimbursed an estimated $453,600 for the total cost of engineering the project, as well as purchasing and installing the blowers through the two grants, one from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation and a second from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the documents said.

WONDER LAKE

Woodpile catches fire near house ecoleman@shawmedia.com

The McHenry County Board voted Tuesday evening, 19-5, to approve an overhaul of the Stormwater Management Ordinance. Voting no were John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, Ersel Schuster, R-Woodstock, Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, and Diane Evertsen, R-Harvard. deep end on some of these things,” said member Ersel Schuster, R-Woodstock. Numerous inconsistencies have been found in the ordinance since its 2004 approval in large part because it was drawn up over an eight-year period following the county’s adoption of a comprehensive stormwater plan. The update also was inspired by the 2010 adoption of the 2030 Land Use Plan and a 2011 water resources action plan.

Because the fire was a woodpile near a home, an automatic alarm for the North Quad was issued, meaning crews from the Richmond, Spring Grove and Wonder Lake departments also responded. A water truck also was sent from the Woodstock department. There are no fire hydrants in the area, Laufer said.

Firefighters were on the scene for about an hour, putting out the fire that spread about 10 feet and rose to the height of the 6-foot-tall woodpile, Laufer said. Crews also had to make sure the fire wouldn’t rekindle.

Continued from page A3 where the county has already chosen to go beyond state and federal minimums,” county Planning Director Dennis Sandquist said. The ordinance requires some developments to obtain a stormwater management permit. Any development located in part or in whole in a wetland or flood hazard area requires a permit. Large developments that disturb a large groundwater area or create more than 20,000 square feet of impermeable area also require a permit, regardless of location in the county. But several board members opposed the changes on the grounds that the ordinance is still too restrictive. “Might have been good-intentioned at one point, but the bureaucracy, I think, has just absolutely gone over the

MPOA leaders happy to see work underway Obama meeting with party leaders Continued from page A1 $2 million more through donations. The bonds are being paid back through property taxes in a special service area. MPOA leaders are happy to see work finally underway. “It feels very good to me, but I’ve only been involved in this process for six years,” Stowe said. “I can’t imagine what it feels like for lifelong residents. ... There’s a lot of longtime lake people who are over the moon to see something finally happening and seeing progress.” Stowe said he understands the permit-issuing process needing to take a long time, but in a perfect world, work would have started two to three years earlier, when the economy was still struggling. Prices would have been better, he said. “It is what it is, and we’re working with what we have,” Stowe said. Toward the last couple weeks of work this year, workers were dredging 24 hours a day to get as much work done. But temperatures finally put an end to this year’s operations, Hilton said. Sediment over the years had washed into Wonder Lake from Nippersink Creek and from runoff from agricultural fields. It had made navigating the lake difficult in some areas.

“The agricultural community has gotten a pretty good handle on erosion control. Because of what’s been going on upstream, the amount of sediment that has been coming into the lake has been reduced by about two-thirds from what it was 20 years ago,” Hilton said. The average depth of the lake is about 7.5 feet, Hilton said. The deepest point is 14 to 16 feet. There are parts that are a foot deep. In one part of the west bay, the depth was about a foot before dredging took place. Now it’s six feet. After finishing in one area, there were people who were able to dive off their piers, Hilton said. “It is a lake community. Not everyone who lives here looks at it as a lake community, but that’s what it is,” Hilton said. Just being allowed to go forward with dredging has been a long arduous process Hilton said. The MPOA itself was formed in 1965, and the first order of business was figuring out how to dredge the lake. There were efforts in the 1980s by volunteers, but a survey of residents showed people were against the effort. This latest effort included professional help. Even after the SSA was formed and debt was issued by the MPOA, there were people trying to stop the

project. There was a lawsuit filed by Thomas “T.P.” Mathews, but a judge eventually ruled in favor of the MPOA going forward with the project. The MPOA had to obtain permits from the Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of Natural Resources and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Obtaining a permit from the IEPA took two years alone, Hilton said. However, the final permit was issued Oct. 11, 2013, and work on forming the sediment drying facility was started four days later. Hilton said the MPOA hopes to be able to sell the dredged sediment, nicknamed “black gold.” “Someone can use it for potting soil, someone can use it to supplement existing agriculture fields, developing park properties,” Hilton said. “We have to dewater and let the sentiment dry out, and market it in someway and create more funds for more dredging,” Hilton added. This large investment will benefit the MPOA and lake residents, Hilton said. “We think we will be able to handle any future maintenance dredging as a part of our normal budget rather than have to think about where are we going to find money to get this done,” Hilton said.

• OBAMA Continued from page A1 new president in two years. Officials said the eligible immigrants would not be entitled to federal benefits – including health care tax credits – under Obama’s plan. The 5 million estimate includes extending deportation protections to parents and spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have been in the country for five years. The president also is likely to expand his 2-yearold program that protects young immigrants from deportation. The administration had considered extending the executive action to parents of young immigrants covered under the 2012 Obama direc-

tive, but immigration advocates said they did not expect the parents to be included in the final plan. “What I’m going to be laying out is the things that I can do with my lawful authority as president to make the system better, even as I continue to work with Congress and encourage them to get a bipartisan, comprehensive bill that can solve the entire problem,” Obama said in a video on Facebook. Laying the groundwork for his actions, Obama invited 18 Democratic members of the House and Senate to dinner at the White House on Wednesday. Among the networks airing his Thursday speech will be Univision, which will interrupt the Latin Grammys to carry his remarks, assuring

Drury says police report ‘not accurate’, ‘slanted’ • REPORT Continued from page A1 to perform a field sobriety test but demanded no arrest. Drury said he also suggested the neighbor’s wife drive. Drury said there are people who were present who know the police report is not true. “Chief Mason, in my opinion, knew he was resigning and wrote that report in a way to make me look bad,” Drury said. “It’s not accurate. It’s slanted.”

One day after the July 21 incident, Drury wrote an email to Mason through the village attorney stating it was “regrettable” that Mason did not follow a “direct order” to issue a field sobriety test, but he would have an opportunity to explain his decision before Drury took disciplinary action. Drury said Mason never responded to the email or provided an explanation. Some trustees are not only upset with Drury’s treatment of Mason, but the manner in which information on the

incident was given. Trustee Kathryn Andrews received an incomplete police report after filing a Freedom of Information Act request and had to ask a second time. Current Police Chief Tony Colatorti said a computer virus prevented the full report from printing during Andrews’ first request. Andrews has written to the Illinois Attorney General and McHenry County State’s Attorney asking for an investigation into FOIA violations and violations of state statutes.

him a huge Spanish-speaking audience. ABC, CBS and NBC were not planning to air the speech, but cable news networks were. Obama is to speak at Las Vegas’ Del Sol High School on Friday, a school with a large population of non-English speaking students where Obama unveiled his blueprint for comprehensive immigration legislation in 2013. Republicans vehemently oppose the president’s likely actions but are deeply divided and have spent much of the week intensely debating how to respond. Some conservative members have threatened to pursue a government shutdown and one – two-term Republican Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama – raised the specter of impeachment Wednesday.

Happy days at gas pumps The price of gasoline is a lot like the weather. Temperatures go up, they go down, weather extremes strike (like super early Arctic cold snaps), people talk about it, but there’s not much anyone can do about it. Similarly, gasoline prices go up, they go down, people talk about it, but there’s not much anyone can do about it. Except when For the record the prices fall below $3 a gallon, With the Christmas shopping people can smile and enjoy the sav- season kicking into gear, the ings. It is a nice timing could not have been change compared better. with prices that were about a dollar a gallon higher as recently as June. During those five months, according to the Associated Press, the global price of oil has dropped 31 percent. Factors in the decline include strong worldwide oil production and weakening worldwide fuel demand. Nationwide, according to Tuesday’s AAA Daily Fuel Gauge, the average price of regular gas was $2.89. And, according to an Energy Department report issued last week, the average price of gasoline in the U.S. next year will be $2.94 – a drop of 44 cents from only a month earlier. Global conditions could change, of course, but if the $2.94-a-gallon estimate is accurate, according to the AP, American consumers will save $61 billion on gasoline purchases in 2015 compared with this year. That is good news for multiple reasons. Lower fuel costs give consumers more money in their pockets to use as they see fit. Bills will get paid off, and savings accounts will see new deposits, which are good developments on the personal finance front. And a lot of people, sporting renewed confidence in their own finances, will go out and spend some of the windfall. Who will benefit? Restaurants. Grocery stores. Clothing stores. Tire stores. Furniture stores. Electronics stores. Book stores. Retail establishments of all types. Charities could benefit, as people with more disposable income will be more likely to give some of it away. Lower fuel prices should ripple through the economy. It’ll cost less to plow snow, haul garbage, transport goods, drive kids to school and make deliveries of all kinds. With the Christmas shopping season kicking into gear, the timing could not have been better. So, we’ll bundle up and complain about the unseasonably cold temperatures – even as we smile while buying cheap gasoline.

ANOTHER VIEW

Food ingredients If your breakfast this morning came out of a box, odds are that “natural and artificial flavors” were part of the experience. The “natural and artificial” combination has been a part of processed foods so long that many Americans have for years hardly given a second thought to what they’re eating. It’s as if the word natural, in the consumer’s mind, balances the artificial part of the equation. Food makers even focus on the word natural. But as more Americans pay attention to what they eat, they are demanding to know what those natural and artificial flavors – and other ingredients added as flavor enhancers – are made of. That is, if their bread is made of something more than wheat, oil and salt, they want to know what it is. Bread is at the center of one recent movement to change what food manufacturers produce and sell. A petition demanded that sandwich-maker Subway eliminate the use of azodicarbonamide in the making of its bread. Azodicarbonamide is a chemical used to make bread more spongy and soft and, therefore, more tasty. That quality also makes it good for use in yoga mats and shoe soles. So Subway removed the ingredient – although it still might be in the bread that’s in your home pantry. And beverage companies Coke and Pepsi recently removed brominated vegetable oil from their beverages – Gatorade, Powerade and fruit-flavored carbonated soft drinks – because brominated vegetable oil, which keeps citrus flavoring agents from rising to the surface, is patented as a flame retardant. It’s good to have power in the hands of consumers. But that cannot happen unless consumers know what’s in their food. The long list of ingredients might not fit on the side of a box or can, but it is reasonable for food manufacturers to post complete lists of ingredients online. Then let consumers research and decide for themselves. But consumers must understand that chemicals are the building blocks of everything from car tires to cake, and multiple syllables do not necessarily equal “bad for you.” (Longmont, Colorado) Times-Call

Casciaro family questions unfair to innocent man Pete DePierro, who worked in the butcher’s department, was the last person to see Brian Carrick alive at the store. He was clear he saw Carrick argue with Shane Lamb and Mario Casciaro. Fact. In grand jury testimony in 2007, Casciaro testified he did not see any cut on Robert Render’s hand Dec. 20, 2002. No cut to his lip. That Render was not bleeding at all that night. Fact. Casciaro told Johnsburg Police Chief Keith Von Allmen on Dec. 23, 2002, that he never spoke with Carrick on the day he disappeared. That was a lie, according to witnesses and phone records. Fact. Alan Lippert testified that Casciaro told him Lamb was only supposed to scare Carrick, and things got out of hand. Fact. Lippert’s testimony supports Lamb’s statement, and the two of them don’t otherwise have anything in common. Fact. Casciaro sold drugs according to witnesses, and Lamb was his muscle. Fact. Casciaro’s polygraph results on Jan. 13, 2005, indicated deception. Fact. In his polygraph interview, Casciaro indicated he thought Angelo’s, the nearest grocery store competitor, had Carrick killed to ruin the Casciaro store. Fact. Jerry Casciaro angrily asked Render to thoroughly clean the produce cooler the morning of Dec. 21, 2002. Fact. Witnesses confirm Render was driven home after work that night, without a drop of blood on him. Fact. Render did not have the means – a vehicle – to dispose of a body that night. Fact. After he got home, Render did not leave the house until the next morning. Fact. No witness at the time of the investigation or remotely close to it could attribute any motive to Render for this act. Fact.

GUEST VIEW George Kililis If the victim had his throat slashed the way Casciaro’s appellate attorney Kathleen Zellner fantasizes, the blood splatter would have required extensive cleaning. Fact. The soiled underpants were always disclosed, never blood soiled and not connected to Render. Fact. Lamb’s statements were made in the presence of his own lawyer. Fact. Why did no one see the outrageously unusual sight of Render, without underwear, cleaning up a blood soaked crime scene with a dead body next to him in all the time he took to clean the scene? How did Render drag a dead body with a slashed throat outside the cooler without a blood trail? If he did find a way to drag the body outside the cooler without a blood trail, why leave his bloody underwear behind? If he could dispose of a dead body with a sliced neck, why leave behind, for months, his soiled underwear? Even if he could drag outside the cooler a corpse with a sliced neck, without a blood trail, and without being witnessed, what did he do with the body in the absence of having a car? If the victim’s neck was slashed and blood splattered everywhere, why did Jerry Casciaro only remember being “hot around the collar” because of the floor being stained and nothing else? If Lamb and Mario Casciaro are not connected, not friends and, most importantly, not covering each other’s behind, why scapegoat Render? If Lamb and Casciaro are not connected, then why is it his confession that he punched Carrick

not enough? If Lamb and Casciaro don’t have a common interest, why try to defend Lamb’s confession in the presence of his lawyer by cynically destroying State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi and Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs and attributing outrageously cynical and criminal motives to them? Why defend Lamb at all? Why not simply point out that he is an admitted murderer and the only thing false and inconsistent about his story is the part where he does it on Casciaro’s behalf? Conversely, and most importantly, why create this fantasy that requires Render to be a cold-blooded killer that slashes throats, disposes of a body when he did not even have the means to do so, attribute a motive that did not exist until after Casciaro got convicted, suggest there is new evidence when it was there all along, require Bianchi and Combs give up any semblance of honor and justice for no reason, and defend an admitted murderer with a long history of violence, unless Casciaro’s defense must also defend Lamb? Bianchi and Combs are more than capable to defend their good names, but the cynicism shown by the Casciaro family to Render – in his grave and unable to defend himself – is the most shocking display of hatred and indifference anyone could ever see. On his post polygraph interview, after he failed, Casciaro angrily stated that of all the suspects in this case, he had most to lose. I don’t know what self-centered universe Casciaro lives in where one person’s life is more important than another’s simply because of their status in life. Render’s life mattered to his family, his son, his friends and to me. When we were going over this case, Render realized that to the Casciaros he was just

an easy scapegoat, a stoner, a loser, a poor grocery boy that no one could care less for. He was tortured by that. Tortured that no one seemed to believe him. Tortured that he was facing charges (in stark contrast to the Casciaro family claims that he was “cleared as a suspect”). Tortured that he could never put this behind him and move on with his life. Now the Casciaros are torturing him and his family in his grave. They raise questions that conveniently distort the facts and assassinate the truth and then want answers. For example, they claim Render was “the only one to arrive at the store at 8 a.m. to continue cleaning.” Really? This would be mildly amusing if it weren’t so hysterically distorted. They know better than anyone that Jerry Casciaro already was at the store and he demanded Render clean the cooler (and, therefore, first in the cooler) and that Render was scheduled and did, in fact, work Saturday and Sunday until the cooler became a crime scene. Enough! Render lived and died innocent of the disappearance and death of Brian Carrick, and I urge the Casciaros to let Render finally rest in peace. I will not rest until he does. I guess to save Casciaro you have to save Lamb, and to save both you have to destroy anyone and anything that stands in your way. That is not justice, but the very opposite. It is the assassination of justice. That speaks the truth about Casciaro, and it is the loudest statement about him he could make. • George Kililis, a Crystal Lake-based attorney and former special public defender, was appointed to represent Robert Render in 2010 against allegations that Render concealed Brian Carrick’s homicide.

STATE THURSDAY

November 20, 2014 Northwest Herald Section B • Page 3

Frerichs wins Ill. treasurer race SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Sen. Mike Frerichs won the state treasurer’s post by about 9,600 votes after Republican opponent Tom Cross conceded the hard-fought contest Wednesday. The Democrat from Champaign, who claimed the title as chief state investor 15 days after his initial 19,500-vote election night deficit, told reporters he received a “good” and “gracious” concession call from Cross, the former House minority leader. Frerichs benefited from late-arriving mail-in and provisional votes in a year when Democrats passed a law making it easier to vote, and he acknowledged he received support from independents who backed Republican Bruce Rauner over Gov. Pat Quinn in the gubernatorial race. “We’ve tried to appeal to everyone, but what we’re going to try to focus on now, after the course of a long campaign where we were fighting for votes, is now we’ll be the treasurer for all 13 million people in the state of Illinois,” Frerichs

said. “Partisanship falls aside.” Frerichs, who plans to meet with Governor-elect Rauner on Thursday, announced that his transition team would be headed by Michael Carrigan, president of the Illinois AFL-CIO, and U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly, a former deputy treasurer who lost the 2010 race for the post. The campaign to re- State Sen. p l a c e G O P Mike Frerichs Treasurer Dan Rutherford, who dropped out of his run for governor, dragged on for weeks after Nov. 4. The race had prompted talk of a recount, recalled past statewide nail-biters and had allusions to legends of Chicago Democrat-machine politics with GOP allegations of voting irregularities, but ended with civility. “Sen. Frerichs has demonstrated time and time again his commitment to our state and that will serve all of us well as he becomes Illinois’ next state treasurer,” Cross said in a prepared statement just after he called Frerichs.

Some watching the hardfought race, which both campaigns agreed early this week was separated by fewer than 400 votes, thought it would be the closest contest in state history since at least the 1800s, according to an Associated Press analysis. While it’s likely the final margin will be by thousands – not hundreds – of votes, it State Rep. still could still Tom Cross land in the top three. The Election Day narrative focused almost solely on Rauner topping Quinn, giving the GOP the governor’s seat for the first time in 12 years. But Frerichs’ triumph leaves Republicans with just one other statewide constitutional officer – re-elected Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka. That puts a damper on the postelection GOP glow, particularly combined with trends that show Democrats maintaining a veto-proof majority in the House, an advantage they hold in the Senate. Republicans had made sev-

eral charges of voting irregularities in Chicago and suburban Cook County. In Chicago, some invalid absentee ballots were improperly mixed with valid ones, but the city’s Board of Election Commissioners rebutted most of the charges even as Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk sought intervention by the U.S. attorney in Chicago. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney would not comment Wednesday. In suburban Cook County, the Cross campaign alleged it had examined 8,000 cases of people requesting mail-in ballots and found 235 where voters appeared to have cast ballots twice. But Cook County Clerk David Orr told the AP on Tuesday that his office didn’t find any inappropriately tallied ballots. In 86 cases, mail-in ballots were unsigned, invalidating them, so election officials contacted each voter and they appeared on Election Day. Orr said he appreciates activists’ involvement in the process, but was irked that the Cross campaign publicized the concern in a news release before alerting authorities. That “hurts democracy,” Orr said. $-,% 7*-6 *.3 +10"0 $*-

Case alleging corruption in Md. jail goes to trial

Ill. Senate panel advances plan for minimum wage SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois Senate committee on Wednesday advanced a revamped proposal that would increase Illinois’ minimum wage to $11 an hour by 2017, modified to give it a better chance of passage by year’s end. The measure’s sponsor, Sen. Kimberly Lightford, of Maywood, pushed the effective date of the legislation from January to July, meaning lawmakers could pass it with just a simple majority and before State Sen. Republican Kimberly Gov.-elect Lightford Bruce Rauner takes office. The plan would increase Illinois’ minimum wage of $8.25 in increments to $11. Lightford had previously wanted an increase to $10.65 but altered the legislation in hopes of making it easier to win legislators’ approval. In announcing her plan, Lightford cited strong state voter support behind a nonbinding referendum to raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour – an amount she called the “basic minimum.” She was joined by fellow Democrats and a homeless minimum wage earner from Chicago. Lightford made the announcement on the first day of the two-week veto session, where expectations of addressing a number of substantive issues remained low. Hours later, the Senate Executive Committee approved the proposal, sending it to the full

chamber for consideration. The proposal would raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour for workers 18 and older by July 1, 2015; $10.50 by July 2016; and $11 by July 2017. The July start date allows the Legislature to approve the measure during the veto session with a simple majority; if the measure were to start in January, it would need a threefifths vote. Lightford said she believes she has support of the Senate, where Democrats currently hold a veto-proof supermajority of 40 of 59 members. The measure faces more difficulty in the House, where Democratic lawmakers are still being surveyed on the measure, according to Steve Brown, spokesman for House Speaker Michael Madigan. Democrats have a supermajority there as well, but disparities in the 71-member caucus often prevent more controversial bills from advancing. The minimum wage increase was the cornerstone of Gov. Pat Quinn’s failed re-election bid and he plans to headline a Thursday rally at the Capitol in support of a boost. Rauner, who initially said he opposed a wage hike, softened his stance during the campaign to note that any increase should be paired with pro-business reforms. Spokesman Mike Schrimpf said Wednesday that while Rauner hadn’t seen details of the legislation, his position hasn’t changed. Rauner also has asked the Legislature not to take up any substantive issues until he takes office in mid-January. A number of pro-business groups are lobbying against the legislation.

BALTIMORE – Gang leaders ruled the Baltimore City Detention Center, using smuggled cellphones to direct crimes on the streets outside, dealing drugs and getting four guards pregnant, a prosecutor said Wednesday at the opening of a major corruption trial involving dozens of officers and inmates. Prosecutor Robert Harding said corrupt guards allowed the state-run jail to become the undisputed turf of the Black Guerilla Family, a gang led locally by Tayvon “Bulldog” White. White was indicted last year along with 16 other inmates and 27 correctional officers, but agreed to cooperate and is expected to testify against the others. The indictment detailed

how compliant guards helped BGF members smuggle drugs and cellphones – crucial for conducting outside business – into correctional facilities. Just who was boss in the Baltimore jail became evident in a call “Bulldog” made to a friend in January 2013 while he was behind bars awaiting trial on an attempted murder charge, court papers show. “This is my jail. You understand that,” White was recorded as saying. “Whatever I say is law,” White said in another call a month later. “I am the law.” The defendants faced charges, including conspiracy, drug distribution and money laundering. Nearly all accepted plea deals. This trial involves two inmates, five guards and another state employee.

Buffalo area hit with epic snow; more on the way The ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. – Homeowners opened their front doors to find themselves sealed in by sheer walls of white. Shovelers turned walkways into head-high canyons. A woman gave birth in a firehouse after the snow prevented her from reaching the hospital. Even for Buffalo, a place that typically shrugs at snow, this was an epic snowfall, the kind folks will be telling their grandchildren about. The Buffalo area found itself buried under as much as 5½ feet of snow Wednesday, with another lake-effect storm expected to bring 2 to 3 more feet by late Thursday. “This is an historic event. When all is said and done, this snowstorm will break all sorts of records, and that’s saying something in Buffalo,” Gov.

with a two-by-four, two empty pop kegs, some charcoal and a dustpan,” he added. “It didn’t work.” Trapped on a team bus on the Thruway for nearly 30 hours, the Niagara University women’s basketball team melted snow for water, posed with long faces for pictures that were posted online and generally tried to keep each other’s spirits up. “I’m sure when it’s all done we’ll look back at it and remember how great a bonding experience it was. For now, I think everyone just wants to get home and sleep in their own beds,” coach Kendra Faustin said. How snowy was it? The National Weather Service said it was so bad that some of the spotters it relies on to update accumulation totals couldn’t get out of their houses to take measurements.

Andrew Cuomo said during a visit to the city. The storm came in so fast over Lake Erie early Tuesday it trapped more than 100 vehicles along a 132-mile stretch of the New York State Thruway, which remained closed Wednesday. People were marooned at homes, on highways and at work. Residents who can handle 6 inches of snow as if it were a light dusting were forced to improvise. Tom Wilson, of West Seneca, split a Salisbury steak frozen dinner with co-workers and tried his best to get some rest when he was stuck 36 hours at his warehouse job. “I slept on a pallet. Then I slept on some office chairs, and then I went back to the pallet,” he said. “Then I found some sponges to lay on. I found one pack of sponges unopened. That looks like a pillow to me.” “We tried to make popcorn

Bethany Hojnacki went into labor at the height of the storm and ended up giving birth in a Buffalo fire station after she and her husband couldn’t get to the hospital. Baby Lucy weighed in at 6 pounds, 2 ounces. Mother and child were later taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Cuomo said Wednesday afternoon that all trapped travelers had been removed from their cars, though some truckers were staying with their rigs. Asked by reporters how officials could allow people to be snowbound in cars for 24 hours, Cuomo cited a jackknifed trailer that prevented plows from removing fast-falling snow and drivers’ own wrongheaded choices.

GIRLS SWIMMING: CRYSTAL LAKE CO-OP

COMPETITIVE FIRE SHINES PR freshman Tarazi excited about state competition By JOEY KAUFMAN jkaufman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Before Valerie Tarazi dreamed of qualifying for the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials, before she became one of the top swimmers in Illinois, before she outraced everyone in the Fox Valley Conference, all she wanted to do was measure up to her older brother. The ice rink, the diamond, anywhere. Pick a spot. Pick a sport. “When he played hockey, I wanted to play hockey. He hit a home run, I wanted to hit a home run,” Tarazi said. “Anything he did, I wanted to follow.” Little has changed in recent years, except the focus has become more singular and the competition also a little broader. So the next chance for the Prairie Ridge freshman to measure up comes Friday in Evanston, where she will compete at the state swimming meet. Representing the Crystal Lake co-op girls swimming team, she’ll take a lane for the 100-yard freestyle and the 200yard individual medley. “I’m excited for the competition,” she said on a recent weekday evening, sitting outside the pool deck at the Sage YMCA, “because I haven’t swam against these girls before.” Growing up in Crystal Lake, Tarazi has long embraced competition. For seven years, she played baseball in Continental Little League (now Crystal Lake Little League) rather than trying softball. Easy explanation. She wasn’t impressed with the hitting at the softball fields. “The boys were better,” she said.

Lovie harbors no ill feelings It is almost impossible to think about the Bears meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday without focusing on the return of Lovie Smith and Josh McCown to Soldier Field. Smith was the coach of the Bears for nine seasons, almost 10 percent of the entire history of the franchise. In the 48-year history of the Super Bowl, the Bears have been there only twice, once under Smith. His Bears won three NFC North titles Lovie Smith and played Inside in two NFC Championship games, both at Bears’s defense prepares to face Soldier Field. off against forBut Smith actually is mer teammate remembered Josh McCown. more for the Page C3 six seasons in which his clubs didn’t make the playoffs and his failure to build a competitive NFL offense with four different coordinators, including Terry Shea, Ron Turner, Mike Martz and Mike Tice.

The last straw for Smith in Chicago was, despite going 10-6 in 2012, first-year general manager Phil Emery fired him for failing to make the playoffs in five of his last six seasons.

PREP FOOTBALL: CLASS 7A STATE SEMIFINAL

C-G offense fueled in ‘Hogpen’ Lineman pay their dues in pen before paving the way for the skill players By JOEY KAUFMAN jkaufman@shawmedia.com CARY – The muscle behind Cary-Grove’s offensive line is sculpted on a patch of worn grass surrounded by a barbed wire fence, just behind the visiting bleachers at Al Bohrer Field. Referred to in reverent tone as the “Hogpen,” the small area holds a couple blocking sleds and a yellow blocking chute known as the “Thunderdome.” At first glance, the space looks unremarkable, a common sight on many practice fields. But it’s in this pen where the C-G coaches have fed one of the state’s most dominant offensive lines, an offensive line that has served as the driving force behind the undefeated Trojans’ run to the Class 7A semifinals.

The linemen are known as the hogs, the area serves as their sort of pen. “To slog around, I guess,” Gomez said. “For our offense, it gets you so much better.”

Each practice features about 30 minutes of slogging, beginning with the Thunderdome, although it is a bit dialed down during the playoffs. Facing the chute, players shoot out of a three-point stance and keep low, forced by the height that is four to five feet. The goal is to be able to maintain a low position when blocking, and thus, create leverage. “Since we’re not the biggest people, we like to say, ‘Get under people’s pads,’ ” senior tackle Trevor Ruhland said. They certainly have created a good bit of leverage to date, paving the way for the area’s leading rusher in sophomore fullback Tyler Pennington, plus senior quarterback Jason Gregoire and senior running back Matt Sutherland.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: DUNDEE-CROWN THANKSGIVING TOURNAMENT

Collins, NBA’s 1st openly gay player, retires

Andrews’ 34 sets Huntley record

NEW YORK – Jason Collins, the first openly gay player in one of the four major North American professional leagues, announced his retirement Wednesday after 13 years in the NBA. “It’s time and I’m very much looking forward to the next steps,” Collins said during a news conference Wednesday before the Brooklyn Nets played the Milwaukee Bucks. The 35-year-old Collins disclosed his plans earlier in a first-person story for Sports Illustrated. It’s the same forum he used in April 2013 to publicly reveal his sexuality. He was signed by the Nets in February and played 22 games for the team. Collins said he decided to retire over the summer and had been trying to determine how to make the announcement. He chose Wednesday because he was going to be in New York on business and attending the game to watch his former teammate and coach, Jason Kidd, coach the Bucks.

Union, NFL at odds over personal conduct policy The NFL players’ union wants the league and its owners to take disciplining players out of the hands of commissioner Roger Goodell. Already at odds over the process used to punish Ray Rice, the dispute heightened Tuesday when the league suspended Vikings running back Adrian Peterson for the rest of the season for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son. The central issue remains the same for both sides: Finding a way to fairly hold players accountable for transgressions that damage the credibility and image of the league and its players. The union wants disciplinary power now held by Goodell to be handled by a neutral arbitrator. The league, so far, doesn’t agree.

FIFA whistleblower fears for safety LONDON – A whistleblower in the World Cup bidding controversy fears her treatment by FIFA will prevent people from coming forward with allegations of corruption and said she was approached three years ago by the FBI, which was worried about her safety. Former Qatar bid worker Phaedra Almajid has complained to FIFA that her right to witness confidentiality in the bidding investigation was breached in an ethics report last week, claiming she was easily identifiable even though she wasn’t named. Almajid, who lives in Washington, D.C., and worked in the bid team’s media department, also is angry the report by FIFA judge Hans-Joachim Eckert said she and Australian whistleblower Bonita Mersiades lacked credibility. Almajid alleged in 2011 that three FIFA executive committee members were paid $1.5 million each to vote for Qatar. She was named in a July 2011 statement in which she retracted her claims of corruption but says she was coerced to do so by unidentified Qatari officials.

NFL fines Lynch $50,000 for not speaking to media RENTON, Wash. – For all the noise he creates on the field, Marshawn Lynch’s silence with the media has now cost him six figures in fines. The NFL fined Seattle’s star $50,000 on Wednesday for violations of its media policy. League spokesman Michael Signora confirmed the fine. Along with the $50,000, the league also is collecting the $50,000 fine that was imposed against Lynch for violations last season. The fine from 2013 was held in anticipation of future cooperation from Lynch. – Wire reports

STANDOUT STATS q THE GAME BALL

kmeyer@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – This just in, Ali Andrews is still good at basketball. The Huntley junior set a single-game school scoring record with 34 points to help lead the Red Raiders to a 58-45 opening-game win over South Elgin on Day 1 of the Dundee-Crown Thanksgiving Tournament. Huntley came out a little flat, falling behind 7-0 to South Elgin while turning the ball over three times. The Red Raiders (1-0) shook it off and eventually were able to pull away to pick up the win. “It’s always nice to get that first win under your belt and I’m glad we were able to accomplish that tonight,” Huntley coach Steve Raethz said. “We got a little bit sloppy at times, especially in the first half, but I was pleased with the way our team responded and fought back.” Early in the game it didn’t look like any such record would be broken on this day for Andrews as she missed her first four shots. Unfortunately for South Elgin, Andrews got rolling at the end of the first quarter, starting a streak of 10 straight points into the second quarter. Andrews, an Illinois commit, had three runs in the game where she scored at least eight straight points or more for the Red Raiders (1-0) en

Combined points McHenry and Hononegah scored in the first half Wednesday night. Hononegah scored 92 points in the game.

q THE BIG PLAY

South Elgin got to within six points of Huntley early in the fourth quarter when Kayla Barreto hit a 3-pointer to change the momentum and help Huntley start to pull away for good. South Elgin scored four points the rest of the game.

The Red Raiders won, 58-45. route to breaking Sam Mader’s record of 31 points in 2003. “It feels good, it was a complete team effort to start the season,” Andrews said. “We started a little shaky but got going, and I thought we played well together.”

Junior Kayla Barreto distributed the ball well and ended with 11 points for Huntley. Sophomore Morgan Clausen added seven points and, along with Andrews, was a force on the boards. Raethz knows the impor-

tance of making sure all the girls get involved in the scoring, especially early in the season. “It was huge last year, and it’s even a bigger priority this year that we have balance,” Raethz said. “There’s going to be nights where Ali takes over, but we want to create a balance to make sure we have other players that are able to step up and score for us.” Hononegah 92, McHenry 62: McHenry nearly scored as many points in the first half of its second game of the season against Hononegah as its entire first game the previous day.

Unfortunately for the Warriors, the 42 points at half still left them down 12 points in their loss to Hononegah. Despite the loss, McHenry is hoping that the new process that first-year coach Rob Niemic brings to the team will continue to improve the program. “I think the biggest thing is that every game is trying to get better,” Niemic said. “It’s going to be a process. We took a step forward tonight in aggressiveness, but a step back defensively.” The Warriors (1-1) struggled against Hononegah’s press early and often, as they committed 27 turnovers. The Warriors hung around with the Indians – according to Niemic, likely one of the better scoring teams in the state – throughout the first half, but couldn’t keep up in the third quarter where they were outscored 24-8. Alex Martens led the Warriors with 22 points, while also grabbing seven rebounds. Lindsey Skinner had 11 points and Carly Mattson added nine. According to Martens, the team is buying into the changes and hoping it will result in improved team and season. “I really enjoy the new program, and we’re one team now out there all the time,” Martens said. “Our saying with coach Niemic is, ‘One team, all in.’ We’re going to give our all no matter what the score.”

Intense practices the norm • TROJANS Continued from page C1 That started with the Hogpen. And it isn’t easy, either. “It’s the hardest part of practice,” junior offensive lineman Owen Henriques said. “It gets pretty intense. You get at each other.” Gomez said that fact has been especially beneficial for the Trojans this fall. As they’ve blown out their fair share of opponents – an average margin of 39 points during Fox Valley Conference games – they largely lined up backup during the second half. So, intense practices, especially Mondays, kept the starting unit fresh. “It’s physical,” Ruhland said. “It’s where the work gets done. It’s loud. We hit hard.

We like to joke in the summer that it’s 10 degrees warmer from the rest of the field.” It’s a place where they have worked out since arriving as freshmen – and even some days while playing for the Junior Trojans program. It’s a place to learn and stress the fundamentals, be it in the Thunderome or the blocking sleds known as the Surge, a chance to work on an outside step for outside runs and an inside step for inside runs. “The biggest thing we preach is the technique,” Gomez said. “And that is pretty much all you do up there, work on your conditioning, work on your technique and your mental toughness. Keeping your pads low and driving your feet are the obstacles we go through.”

Prairie Ridge freshman Valerie Tarazi practices her backstroke while training for Friday’s state meet Nov. 12 at the Sage YMCA in Crystal Lake.

Tarazi tried her hand at many sports • TARAZI Continued from page C1 So baseball it was. She played first base and the outfield positions. And she earned her stripes, too. “She was always a great athlete,” said her older brother, Gavin Tarazi. “She was always the big one. She was always a step ahead of everyone. Even when she played baseball with guys, she was always the best player.” Gavin rarely could shake his little sister, who followed in his footsteps, playing hockey and baseball at a young age. “It was one of those things where he was older than me,” she said, “and I wanted to be like him.” They’d grab their gloves, and play catch in the backyard. The sister also picked up hockey from the brother, who now is a freshman at Division III Lake Forest College and hoping to crack the Black Bears’ hockey team after tryouts next month. Valerie also gave figure skating a shot, too. “We wanted to expose our kids to as many sports as possible,” said her dad, Marty Tarazi, who played football and baseball at Maine North High School, “and see what they liked.” What Tarazi found she really liked was swimming, first getting her start in the pool at the Crystal Lake Country Club and later learning under the direction of coach George Keenan, who now leads the Huntley

To reach that, though, comes an arduous journey. When the high school season isn’t in session, she makes the early morning drive with her dad on Route 14 to Barrington, and jumps in the pool by 5:15 a.m. She rarely complains. It’s part of the deal. She knows that, and so she keeps marching toward a chance at landing among the 2 percent who make Trials, along with her Barrington teammate Kirsten Jacobsen. “Can’t lie and say, ‘Oh, it’s fun,’ ” she said, laughing.

BUCCANEERS AT BEARS, NOON SUNDAY, FOX, AM-780, 105.9-FM

Bears know McCown’s quirks, vice versa QB coming off solid outing vs. Redskins By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Ask Stephen Paea what he looks forward to most about facing Buccaneers quarterback Josh McCown on Sunday and his eyes light up. Given all the Bears know about their former teammate, Paea said one aspect of McCown’s game sticks out to him more than others. “He’ll hold onto the ball a little bit more,” Paea said Wednesday at Halas Hall. “We can get after him. ... He’s very poised in the pocket and he doesn’t care about getting hit. Any quarterback who comes in with that, we love that.” How much of an advantage that will provide a defense looking to put together its second straight solid performance remains to be seen. Yes, they’re facing a quarterback who found success when Jay Cutler was injured last season, but knowing what to expect doesn’t guarantee the Bears’ familiarity with McCown will help tilt the game in their favor. “I mean, it can help us,”

more about McCown’s game than other opposing quarterbacks, the fact is, McCown can boast the same advantage. And although the Bears’ defense is largely revamped from last year, McCown has an idea of what defensive coordinator Mel Tucker will throw at him Sunday. McCown downplayed whether or not that could be of assistance to him Wednesday. “We understand the nuts and bolts of that defense and what they pride themselves on and all those things,” McCown said in a conference call with Bears reporters. “For us, it’s about going out and executing. “Especially in the Minnesota game, it really looked like they flew around and made some plays and played with great energy and great juice, so we expect nothing less come Sunday.” Lucky for the Bears, McCown doesn’t have Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery like last season, but he does have a pair of athletic playmakers in Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson. “We know what kind of playAP photo er he is and he doesn’t make a lot Buccaneers quarterback Josh McCown yells down the line during the second half of Sunday’s game against the Redskins in Landover, Md.

BEARS NOTES

NFL

Briggs: Smith one of Bears coaching greats Lawyer seeks Linebacker says ex-coach pushed him to be his best By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – Lance Briggs’ reverence for Lovie Smith is well known, and he put his former coach in impressive company Wednesday at Halas Hall. “Lovie should be remembered as one of the great coaches in Chicago,” Briggs said after practice. “George Halas, you have Mike Ditka and Lovie Smith comes next.” No one on the 53-man roster was affected more by playing for Smith than Briggs, and he told reporters the ways Smith got the most out

of Briggs, challenging him and helping develop one of the game’s better linebackers over the past decade. “Back in ’04, he just challenged me all the time,” he said. “You know, it was always, ‘Lance, you’re not going to make that play, he’ll never make that play.’ And he’s always talking to like Brian (Urlacher) or some of Lance Briggs the other guys and he’d be like, ‘Lance can’t make that play, Derrick Brooks can make that play, the real 55 can make that play.’ “As I started making more and more of the plays and the years kind of went on, his tune really changed and it was always, ‘I know where Lance will be, I know where Lance is going to make that play, so that’s

not a worry for me.’ And that was earned. That amount of respect from him to me was earned and that goes for all the guys that were in that room.” Injury report: Five starters sat out practice Wednesday. Briggs, Jeremiah Ratliff and Matt Forte each had a veteran’s day off. Brandon Marshall (ankle) and Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) did not participate, along with Darryl Sharpton (hamstring), Chris Williams (hamstring), Ego Ferguson (illness) and Trevor Scott (knee). Eben Britton (illness), Jordan Mills (ribs) and Josh Morgan (shoulder) all were limited. For the Buccaneers, Doug Martin (ankle) was limited. Improvement on defense: Mel Tucker mentioned David Bass, Demontre Hurst and Shea McClellin as players who played well in Sunday’s win over the Vikings.

“We were really excited to see some of our guys improve in the game. We asked some guys that had been getting better, and it really showed in the game,” he said. As for using Brock Vereen on some third-down passing situations, Tucker mentioned Vereen’s quickness, open-field tackling and smarts as to why he has earned a role in those plays. Special teams flags: Joe DeCamillis explained what the Bears have to do to avoid some of the penalties they’ve gotten on returns. “Most of the penalties that have occurred that are out in front of everybody are the ones that are down the field,” he said. “What we are really trying to get across – Christian [Jones] is one of the guys we’ve got to get this across to – is to win early in the down. The further you get down the field, the more likely you are to have penalties.”

Neither Smith nor McCown focused on getting revenge • ARKUSH Continued from page C1 “Oh, I’m proud of everything we were able to do,” Smith said. “I loved my time there. I loved the organization that I worked for and the opportunity that they gave me and, as much as anything, the players that I got a chance to lead and to coach. The lifetime memories, the lifetime relationships that I was able to form from being there, of course that’s what will stay with me forever.” Smith refuses to be angry about the way things ended here. He still feels getting the job was “a dream come true. Everything that you thought was kind of how it turned

out being for me. To come to a storied franchise with a great fan base and to just help to bring that fan base and what was expected, back. The things you dream about are how it really turned out for me. I enjoyed every day I came to work and the people I had a chance to work with, not only the players, of course, but the staff and the administration too.” Part of the perception of Lovie’s time in Chicago by Bears fans is colored by what was a deteriorating relationship with the local media and fan base in his later years. “The media had a job – you guys had a job to do. That just had very little to do with what I was doing. I knew you guys had a job, but it just didn’t affect an awful lot about what

I was doing. I was kind of focused in a different area.” McCown also speaks fondly of his time in Chicago but is surprised by the way Marc Trestman’s image has suffered in recent weeks. “As far as what I understood last year, I felt like he was consistent with his message as well and didn’t waiver from that,” McCown said. “I don’t know if that’s changed or not, I believe again, like I said about Lovie, that’s a hard thing to do is to stick to your guns and to stick to what you believe in right in the midst of turmoil or things that aren’t going your way. I appreciate that from Marc and I felt it last year and I think it was one of the main things that helped me play at the level I played at.”

Are Smith and McCown focused on revenge this Sunday? “As I come in Sunday, I’m coming in as an opposing coach,” Smith said. “That’s how I’m looking at it. The year I had off and just being in Chicago for nine years, I don’t need anything validated this week. Fans were great to me and my family while we were there, administration was. I have lifetime friends on the Chicago Bears football team. I think I have all those things right now. I’m an opposing coach on the other side of the field coming in this week.”

approval of concussion settlement By MARYCLAIRE DALE The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – The NFL on Wednesday urged a judge to approve an estimated $1 billion settlement of concussion lawsuits despite concerns raised by former players or survivors who feel left out. The 65-year fund would resolve thousands of lawsuits that accuse the NFL of long hiding what it knew about concussions and brain injuries to keep players on the field. The NFL expects 6,000 of nearly 20,000 retired players – or 28 percent – to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or at least moderate dementia someday. Their average payout would be about $190,000. The awards reach several million dollars for Lou Gehrig’s disease or Parkinson’s disease. “The NFL ... should have done the right thing years ago, and it can do the right thing now,” said Eleanor Perfetto of Annapolis, Maryland, who objects to the steep cuts in awards given to men diagnosed later in life. Her husband, Ralph Wenzel, had both Alzheimer’s disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, when he died in 2010. He was 69 and had been ill for more than a decade. Some critics feel the fund lets the NFL off lightly, given its $10 billion in annual revenues. Others complain there are no awards for depression, mood swings, dizziness and other problems they link to football concussions. A chief concern is that the plan leaves out future payments for CTE, which some call the signature disease of football.

Essential basics before heading out in the cold

Hunter’s 1st deer

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley are totally useless in the fishing process. I like the gloves that have the fingers that pull back so you can use your digits uncovered for a minute or two. My tip here is to first put on a pair of latex medical gloves before covering your hands with your warm gloves. The latex gloves are totally waterproof and will keep your hands completely dry. They are thin and flexible and you barely can tell that they are on.

I began talking about preparing for ice fishing season in last week’s column. But who knew we’d have ice this early in the year? Let’s run down a few of the things I definitely would suggest you obtain before heading out onto that hard water. A set of ice cleats that strap onto the bottom of your warm boots is something you cannot do without. I’ve seen them as low as $10 at Kohl’s, • Steve Sarley is the and you can spend well more outdoors columnist for than $50 for a great set at a Shaw Media. Write to him sporting goods store. You’ll need them to keep from fallat ssarley@shawmedia.com. ing. Thinking that you have perfect balance or that you can walk carefully is a huge mistake. Speaking of warm boots, make sure yours are totally waterproof. As soon as your feet get wet, your ice fishing adventure is over for the day. There is no way you can stay out with damp feet. I like a product called Camp Dry for waterproofing shoes and boots. Don’t use this to spray your boots in the house. The odor will have you opening windows, for sure, and that isn’t something you want to do in the cold. Wear layers so you can add and subtract clothing while out on the ice. If you are in the market for good clothing tailored specifically for the sport of ice fishing, nobody has a better line of top quality ice fishing wear than Frabill. A good pair of polarized sunglasses is a must. Yes, I realize that it is the winter, but a sunny day and all that white that surrounds you in the form of snow and ice can make you nearly blind. Good sunglasses are extremely important. Ice fishing rods and reels run the gamut from basic to models that rival their open water cousins. Of course, as the quality goes up, so does the price. You can find ice rods that start at about $5, and they go up to more than $50. You might find cheap reels that will run you $5 and can find ice reels that cost $50 or more. There is nothing that says you can’t use your ultralight reels you use for summer fishing on your ice fishing set-ups. Frabill has come out with a couple of models of ice rod and reel combos that are packaged in pairs, including a rod case, which will run you about $80. Why should you buy two rod and reels, you might be asking? You are going to need at least two. You will break off a hook on a snag or on a fish. No matter how hard you try to avoid that situation, it is inevitable. Tying a new hook or jig onto ultra-lightweight fishing line with a pair of stiff, frozen hands is a near impossibility. When your line breaks, put the rod aside and pick up another. Don’t even try to tie a new rig. To that extent, protecting your hands is of the highest importance. Mittens are the warmest hand protection, but

Northern Illinois fishing, hunting: Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “Yes, we have ice but it is early ice, so practice safety first. Many small ponds and backwater channels off the rivers have 2 to 3 inches. Always test along the edges or drill off a pier first. Bluegills will hit wax worms and crappie should take a small fathead minnow. This is also the first weekend of shotgun deer season and it looks like we will warm up from our arctic blast. This will keep the hunters afield and they should harvest a good number of deer. Archery hunters have had a great fall with good rut action taking place during the past two weeks.” Call 815-455-2040 for an updated report. Archery deer hunting: Through Sunday, Illinois archery deer hunters harvested a total of 44,003 deer, compared to 43,670 for the same period in 2013. The harvest to date has consisted of 46.5 percent does and 53.5 percent males. The top five counties are Pike (1730), Fulton (1279), Jefferson (1056), Adams (977) and JoDaviess (961). Totals for a few select northern Illinois counties: McHenry 426; DeKalb 118; DuPage 17; Kane 217; Winnebago 364; Lake 278; Cook 73; Boone 110; Ogle 550. – Steve Sarley, ssarley@shawmedia.com

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

BLACKHAWKS

Clendening stepping in for Van Riemsdyk on circus trip Hawks only 3-4 on the road as they head west By HERB GOULD hgould@suntimes.com The announcement Wednesday that Trevor van Riemsdyk will be out three to four months with a left-patella fracture was not unexpected after the way the rookie defenseman stopped a puck with his knee Sunday. But it will be another test of the Blackhawks’ quality depth when they begin a six-game, 10-day Western swing Thursday night at Calgary. Van Riemsdyk “will undergo surgical repair of the fracture [on Thursday],” Hawks physician Dr. Michael Terry said. “We anticipate a full recovery in three to four months.” Adam Clendening, 22, an offensive-minded blue-liner who was recalled from Rockford, will step into the Hawks’ defense corps. The Hawks’ second-round pick (36th overall) in 2011, Clendening had 21 goals and 84 assists at Rockford the

past two seasons. He has one goal and three assists for the IceHogs this season. “He’s got an opportunity here,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “He’s played well down there, and he’s evolved this year. “Defensively, I think he’s improved. He’ll get a chance to play on the power play for us a little. We’re looking forward to seeing how he handles five-on-five, as well.” A Niagara Falls, New York, native who played two years at Boston University, Clendening hopes to take advantage of this opportunity. Trevor “It’s exciting,’’ he van Riemsdyk said. “I don’t think it’s really hit me yet. [The Hawks] have probably the best six [defensemen] around the league, so it’s definitely been a bit of a waiting game. It’s a bad bounce for [van Riemsdyk]. Hopefully, I can just fill in and help them not miss a beat. I’m just coming in trying to do my best and help them not miss a beat.’’ It is a blow for van Riemsdyk, 23, a free-agent signee last March who came out of nowhere to win a job this fall. “It’s unfortunate,’’ Quenneville

said. “He got off to a real good start. When he gets back, I think he can help us at that stage of the season.” The Hawks also expressed their sympathy for van Riemsdyk. “It must be pretty frustrating for him,” goalie Corey Crawford said. “He was playing so well. But Clendening is a really skilled defenseman. He moves the puck well. I’m sure he’ll be fine.” The Hawks expect to need everyone contributing on their annual November circus trip, which starts against the much-improved Calgary Flames. Their 3-4 start on the road leaves the Hawks ninth in Western Conference points. That emphasizes the need to play well on this trip. A successful stretch on the road would put them back in position for a solid regular season. “These are kind of make-orbreak trips,” Patrick Kane said. “A couple of years ago, when we had that great start, we started on the road. I think we had 10 of our first 12 on the road. That was kind of the make-or-break point in the season.” In strike-shortened 2012-2013, when the Hawks had a 21-0-3 start, early success in Western road games proved to be a springboard. “We’ve got to get some hay on this trip,” Quenneville said.

RUNNING HENRY’S THANKSGIVING DAY HUSTLE The second annual race will benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association in honor of 2-year-old Henry Betts, who was diagnosed as an infant. The race will be held at 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving at Sunset Park in Lake in the Hills. A 5K race starts at 8 with a kids’ 400-meter dash at 8:45. Registration fees for the 5K is $10. while the kids’ race is free. Those interested may register at www.kopfrunning.com/henryshustle.

MILES WITH MEANING 5K Former Marengo and Judson University cross country coach Rich Weinhandl is holding a Miles With Meaning 5K run on Friday, Nov. 28 at Blackstone Golf Course in Marengo, starting at 9 a.m. Proceeds from the run will go toward the Boaz Project, the Marengo Food Pantry and the Marengo Park District. Weinhandl will send some of the money to the Daya Vihar Girls Orphange in Madurai, India, where his daughter Megan currently is serving. Since many of the 43 girls at that orphanage sleep on concrete floors, funds will go toward purchasing bunk beds. Funds will also go to the Marengo Food Pantry M.O.R.E. to help homeless families who need assistance, and to the Emergency Financial Assistance Program, which provides clothing, shoes and small household items to families within Marengo District 154 who qualify for food assistance. The Marengo Park District will use its share of funds for recreational improvement projects that sometimes go unfunded because of limited revenue.

New girlfriend is eager to rid garage of ex-girlfriend’s stuff Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Ron,” and I have been together for more than a year, and we now live together. His garage is full to overflowing with his ex-girlfriend’s belongings. She left him and all her stuff – including her four cats – to marry some guy she met online. She no longer lives in this country. I’m fine with taking care of the cats; they are innocent and I love them. However, I want her stuff out of the garage. Ron thinks it’s “the right thing to do” to keep it until she can arrange for it to be moved to her new place. Abby, it has been a year

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and a half. She’s not going to move this stuff. I want to donate it or trash it as appropriate, and I don’t think we have any legal responsibility to tell her or ask her before we do. What do you think? –

Wants It Gone In Oklahoma Dear Wants It Gone: It would be neither appropriate nor kind to do anything to Ron’s ex-girlfriend’s belongings without warning. Ron should contact her,

inform her he wants to use his garage for the purpose it is intended and ask if she wants the items she left to be disposed of or put into storage at her expense. He should allow a reasonable time for her to respond before doing anything, and you should distance yourself from the process. Dear Abby: I have a friend with one annoying habit. Whenever we have a party, she’ll invite friends without asking first, or by saying, “I told them it was OK to come.” It creates a problem because we plan our parties for a certain number of

guests, and now there are two, three, sometimes even four more – often on short notice. I like her friends, but they are not close friends of mine. Sometimes I just would like to have an intimate gathering with four to six people. How can I get her to stop, short of not inviting her to any more of our parties? I feel stuck in a situation that no matter what I do, I’m going to P.O. somebody. Any suggestions? – Party Planner

In Georgia Dear Party Planner: Your “friend” has a lot of nerve and no manners. She appears

to be using you to entertain her other friends, which is not only rude, but also extremely presumptuous. She will continue treating you this way until you call a halt by telling her to cut it out because you don’t like it. If she can’t respect your wishes after that, see her only on a one-on-one basis. Dear Abby: I know someone who receives Social Security for her disabled children. She uses that money to feed a slot machine. Those children could have so many opportunities if their money was used appropriately, and it’s going down the drain. What can I

do about it? It saddens me. –

Thinking About The Kids Dear Thinking About The Kids: It appears the woman is addicted to gambling. What she’s doing might “sadden” you, but as a taxpaying American, it infuriates me because her children aren’t getting the assistance that money is meant to provide. So please, pick up the phone, call the Department of Children’s Services and clue them in to what’s happening. I’m betting they’ll be interested. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O.

Eye drops ease allergic conjunctivitis ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff lergic reactions, to release inflammation-causing chemicals into the eye. This makes symptoms worse. If your symptoms appear occasionally, try one of the newer generation of antihistamines you can take by mouth. Antihistamines block the action of histamine, a major cause of itchy eyes. Overthe-counter options include loratadine (Claritin), cetirizine (Zyrtec) and fexofenadine (Allegra). Others are available by prescription. Another option is eye drops that contain mast cell stabilizers, which limit release of the inflammation-causing chemicals. During an allergy attack, eye drops work faster than pills taken by mouth. Eye drops that contain antihistamines and decongestants (medicines that cause small blood vessels to narrow) are available over the counter. They can provide quick relief, particularly of the redness in the eye. But don’t use these medications

for more than a week or two, as they can cause excessive narrowing of the blood vessels in your eye. If your symptoms persist, try eye drops that combine a mast cell stabilizer and an antihistamine. These drugs are available over the counter and by prescription. If you use multiple types of eye drops, don’t put both drops in your eye at the same time. Wait about five minutes between putting the two types of drops in your eye. Otherwise, the second type you put in your eye might wash away the effects of the first type. If your symptoms are severe and don’t improve with other medications, ask your doctor about prescription eye drops that contain corticosteroids. These medications help control inflammation, but they should only be used under the guidance of an eye specialist (ophthalmologist). Without proper monitoring, corticosteroid eye drops can cause glaucoma, cataracts or other serious complications.

Dear Dr. K: I have allergies, and my eyes are affected the most. They’re puffy, red and itchy. What can I do? Dear Reader: Pollens, animal dander, dust mites and mold: The same allergens that cause sneezing and an itchy nose and throat can trigger allergy symptoms that affect your eyes, too. If your eyes are red and itchy, you also might have tearing, mucous discharge and swelling of your conjunctiva (the inside of your eyelid). This constellation of symptoms is known as allergic conjunctivitis. It can be uncomfortable, but it is not a threat to vision. To help improve your symptoms, try to avoid whatever triggers your allergies. If you are allergic to cats, avoid them, or at least don’t touch your eyes when near one. If pollen is your nemesis, keep your windows closed. A simple but effective remedy is to place a cool, wet washcloth over your eyes. Also, use artificial tears (available without prescription) frequently. They’ll give you some relief and help wash away allergens. Try not to rub your eyes. Doing so causes mast cells, which play a key role in al-

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, November 20, 2014 • Section C • Page 8

WASHINGTON – The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts said Stephen Colbert will host this year’s Kennedy Center Honors, bringing a new touch to the annual awards show. The center announced Wednesday that Colbert will host the program Dec. 7. It will be broadcast Dec. 30 on CBS. Colbert will succeed David Letterman on CBS’ “Late Show” in 2015. This year’s Kennedy Center honorees are Tom Hanks, Sting, Al Green, comedian Lily Tomlin and ballerina Patricia McBride.

BUZZWORTHY

Children: Motown singer Jimmy Ruffin dies at age 78

Netflix, NBC, TV Land sever ties with Bill Cosby NEW YORK – NBC has scrapped a Bill Cosby comedy that was under development and TV Land will stop airing reruns of “The Cosby Show,” moves that came a day after another woman came forward claiming the once-beloved comic had sexually assaulted her. NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks said Wednesday the Cosby

sitcom “is no longer under development.” A TV Land representative said the reruns will stop airing immediately for an indefinite time. “The Cosby Show” also was to have been part of a Thanksgiving sitcom marathon. The NBC sitcom and “Cosby Show” reruns joined a Netflix Cosby stand-up comedy special, which was indefinitely postponed late Tuesday, as mounting evidence of Cosby’s faltering career. They occurred a day after actress Janice Dickinson, in an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” became the third woman in recent weeks to allege she’d been assaulted by Cosby – charges strongly denied by the comedian’s lawyer. The developments, which involve allegations that were widely reported a decade ago as well as new accusations, have gravely damaged the 77-yearold comedian’s reputation as America’s TV dad at a time when he was launching a comeback. A year ago, a stand-up special – his first in 30 years – aired on Comedy Central and drew a hefty audience of 2 million viewers. His prospective new series was announced by NBC in January. Cosby has never been charged in connection with any of the allegations. Former Pennsylvania prosecutor Bruce L. Castor Jr., who investigated a woman’s claims that Cosby had sexually assaulted her in 2004, said Wednesday he decided not to prosecute because he felt there was not enough evidence to get a conviction.

NEW YORK – Jimmy Ruffin, the Motown singer whose hits include “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted” and “Hold on to My Love,” died Monday in a Las Vegas hospital. He was 78. Philicia Ruffin and Jimmy Lee Ruffin Jr., the late singer’s children, confirmed Wednesday that Ruffin had died. There were no details about the cause of death. Ruffin was the older brother of Temptations lead singer David Ruffin, who died in 1991 at age 50. “Jimmy Ruffin was a rare type of man who left his mark on the music industry. My family in its entirety is extremely upset over his death. He will truly be missed,” a statement from Philicia Ruffin and the Ruffin family said. “We will treasure the many fond and wonderful memories we all have of him.”

Multiple fractures for Bono in N.Y. bicycle accident NEW YORK – An injury to U2 singer Bono after what was described by the group as a “cycling spill” left him with multiple fractures that required him to undergo two surgeries, a doctor said Wednesday. Bono was in a “high-energy bicycle accident” when he was trying to avoid another cyclist Sunday, orthopedic trauma surgeon Dr. Dean Lorich said in a statement from NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and Hospital for Special Surgery. Bono arrived at the Manhattan hospital and underwent multiple X-rays and tests that showed he had a facial fracture involving his left eye socket, his left shoulder blade fractured in three places and a left elbow fracture that went through the skin and left the bone in six pieces.

Lorich said Bono will need therapy but a full recovery is expected.

People magazine names Chris Hemsworth ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ NEW YORK – People magazine has named Chris Hemsworth the “Sexiest Man Alive” of 2014, cheering the Australian actor’s rise as hammer-wielding, bone fide hunk in the “Thor” films. Hemsworth, who also starred as Formula One racer James Hunt in the Ron Howard-directed “Rush” and the “Star Trek” reboots, was unveiled as the winner on Tuesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” He joins a list of hunks with the honor, including Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Patrick Swayze, Sean Connery, Ben Affleck, Channing Tatum and Adam Levine. Mel Gibson, another Australian, was the first in 1985.

Beach Boys’ Mike Love has book deal NEW YORK – Mike Love, a founding member of the Beach Boys and lead singer on such hits as “Surfin’ U.S.A.” and “Little Deuce Coupe,” has a book deal. Love has an agreement with Blue Rider Press for “Good Vibrations: My Life as a Beach Boy.” Blue Rider, an imprint of Penguin Random House, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the memoir is scheduled for a 2016 release. It will come out, appropriately, during the summer. According to Blue Rider, the 73-year-old Love will open up about the band and his “complex” relationship with Brian Wilson, Love’s cousin and the Beach Boys’ leader during their peak years in the 1960s. Love and Wilson have fought over songwriting credits and creative control of the group.

Millennials: How to make your home ownership dreams a reality (BPT) - Owning a home is part of the American Dream, yet standards on income, credit and debt are making it tougher to buy a home than it was 10 years ago. Even though requirements are relaxing, only three out of five borrowers get approved. While stricter standards make it tougher for young families to qualify for a mortgage, millennials said they understand why these standards exist and think the tougher requirements won’t stand in their way of buying a home, according to a new survey commissioned by loanDepot. In fact, millennials today are serious about doing what’s required to get a mortgage. The research surveyed 1,000 millennials who don’t own a home and found 35 percent plan to buy within five years. What’s more, millenials are taking steps now to turn their dreams into a reality by getting their credit in order, paying down debt and saving for a down payment. “Income is a key to opening the doors of homeownership for millennials, and they’re more than committed to it; they’re actively planning for it,” says Anthony Hsieh, chairman and chief executive officer, loanDepot LLC. “Our improving economy is making it practical for millennials who want to own their own homes in a few short years to get ready now.

HOMElife Timely solutions for getting your house ready for the holidays (BPT) - The fun chaos of the holidays is right around the corner. Family gatherings to plan, delicious meals to prepare, gifts to ﬁnd and purchase, and a house to decorate ... the list goes on! With entertaining season approaching at warp speed, it’s time to get your home spruced up and looking like new. Your time is precious around the holiday season, so to help make the

most of your days - and budget - try these easy solutions to prepare for the holidays while keeping your sanity. • A fresh coat of paint is a quick and easy way to give your home a new look at an affordable price. Consider starting with the rooms most frequently used, but don’t forget the guest bedrooms and bathrooms. To make the most of your effort, use a paint that has the durability and color-lasting qualities you need. Use a paint that resists stains and fading and allows you to easily wipe away marks without taking off paint, even if your guests accidentally scuff walls with their suitcases. • A simple way to decorate for the holidays year after year is with an artiﬁcial tree. Some trees are pre-lit with colorchanging LED lights, meaning you can change the look - and color - of the tree with just a push of the pedal making your decorating process much easier. For a formal dinner event, glowing white light sets a perfect ambiance. Switch to the multicolor option to delight the kids. • Use holiday decorations in unexpected ways to add festive cheer in every room of your home with minimal effort. Try

hanging ornaments to decorate live plants, light ﬁxtures, doorway overhangs, stairwells, mirrors and even the mantel. For this project, don’t use expensive or family heirloom ornaments - just purchase coordinating ones that work with the color pattern you already have in the room. • Potted evergreen plants decorated with lights bring plenty of festive feelings into a room. The best news is that when spring arrives, you can plant them outside in your backyard, or donate them to a community project that needs evergreen trees. Using live plants infuses the room with light and good, clean oxygen, and it’s the subtle touches your guests will appreciate and remember.

With these timely tips, you - and your home - will be ready for a holiday season of celebrations.

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Any venture you have been mulling over should be put in motion or put to rest. Recognize where your interests lie and the best way to realize your dreams. Taking on too much will not be your ticket to success. Focus on the project that excites you most. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Home improvements or a minor repair will end up costing more than you anticipate. Budget carefully and shop around for the best price. Get written quotes before you begin the work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Take a breather. Confusion and mistrust will develop if you aren’t precise. If you are torn in several directions, ﬁnd a quiet place where you can sort through your feelings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You need to put your uncanny insight into play and develop a sound business plan. Conditions are right for you to make a good investment or raise your earning potential. Romance is on the rise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A group venture will turn in your favor if you step forward and take control. Consider all your options. Your ability to deal fairly with all parties will ensure success. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Take a close look at your relationships with others. Pay attention to the signals you are getting so that you undoubtedly know who is and who isn’t on your team. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Keep your emotions hidden. Make your point with facts and ﬁgures, not aggressive behavior. You will get the desired results if you maintain a state of calm. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone will try to throw you off course. Keep forging ahead, no matter what happens. Your original plan is the one to follow, so dismiss anyone who tries to change your mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A new connection will develop through an unexpected source. Your fun-loving nature and winning ways will dazzle everyone around you, so get out and socialize. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your employment prospects are looking up. Networking will bring you social and professional gains. Tackle an emotional issue that has been keeping you up at night. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will meet with stern opposition if you try to impose your will on others. Compromise will be necessary to achieve a successful personal or professional relationship. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must make concessions if it will help you keep the peace. If you are asked to help out, do so willingly. Making a fuss or starting an argument will be detrimental. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Emotional matters will have you on edge. Step back and let a situation cool down before you make changes. Find a project that you can work on without interference from others.

MCHENRY COUNTY YOUTH ORCHESTRA’S ‘TRUMPETING TRIUMPHS’ TO FEATURE ACCLAIMED SOLOIST

ORCHESTRATED

PlanitNorthwest.com • Thursday, November 20, 2014

TRIUMPH

“And the CSO is regarded as having one of, if not the best, brass section in the world.” Hagstrom will be a special guest for “Celebrations – Trumpeting Triumphs,” the fall concert taking place from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Nov. 23 at Prairie Ridge High School, 6000 Dvorak Drive, Crystal Lake. Ames’ dreams of hosting a brass player did not come easy. She had to work some connections to secure Hagstrom for the performance. The youth orchestra’s Intermezzo conductor Andrew Malovance had Hagstrom as a teacher. Once Malovance contacted Hagstrom, he was in. Hagstrom will be soloing on two pieces with the youth orchestra’s Symphony Orchestra. One of those pieces, “Without a Song,” is a world premiere he had arranged for this concert. He also will solo on one piece with the Intermezzo Orchestra.

K Terry Foster, director of the McHenry County Youth Orchestra, conducts a rehearsal in preparation for a Nov. 23 concert at Prairie Ridge High School.

ids sat still, listening patiently in their chairs. All eyes forward, they focused on an adult at the head of the room who just told them to pay attention. “It’s one-e-and-uh-two,” he said. With a wave of a thin baton, the kids picked up their instruments and played. It was about a week before the McHenry County Youth Orchestra’s upcoming performance with John Hagstrom, a second trumpet for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO), and the musicians were determined to be ready and honored to have the chance to practice with Hagstrom beforehand. The year marks the 35th anniversary of the McHenry County Youth Orchestra, and those involved wanted something special. “I knew I wanted a brass player,” said Cathy Ames, executive director of the McHenry County Music Center, the organization that operates the youth orchestra.

“There’s a phenomenal level of musicianship when John plays,” said Terry Foster, the symphony orchestra’s new conductor. “Having the chance to work with someone of that caliber is great.” Taking over conducting duties in August, Foster could have been intimidated by working with such a huge talent as Hagstrom for his debut concert, but he keeps things in perspective. “It’s really an honor to be head of an ensemble that’s working with John. He has a very clear vision of sound,” Foster said. “He’s brilliant to work with.” The youth orchestra’s musicians really are advanced musicians. They can process what Hagstrom is saying, he said. Samantha Jones, 15, of Woodstock, is second trumpet in the symphony orchestra and has been playing since the 5th grade. “It’s really cool to play with him,” she said of Hagstrom. “Hearing him play is extraordinary. It helps me with my playing.”

More than music As for Hagstrom, he said he tries to make the rehearsals and performances more than just a practice or a clinic. “I try to show them the nuances that will make the performance more meaningful,” he

John Hagstrom, second trumpet for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, said music has deeper benefits than the discipline of practice and gave him structure as a child. said. Hagstrom feels there are deeper benefits to music than the discipline of practice. “There is a sense of selfeducation. You learn to shoulder the complexities of working as individuals and in a group,” he said. “Music is a swift justice system that reveals balance. Music gives kids an understanding of themselves in a larger group. You see the power of accumulated efforts. You come to feel a sense of responsibility and this is an important step in your life.” Hagstrom, 49, of Elmhurst, said he relied on music as a child.

It gave him structure and a safety net, he said. “If it weren’t for the public school music program I would have been a goner,” he said. “This is a way for me to pay it back.” Ames said Hagstrom asked if he could come out and practice the week before the performance. “That wasn’t part of the contract, so we’re big fans,” she said. “It’s awesome,” she said of the rehearsals and the upcoming performance. “It’s great [for the kids and audience] to have this kind of opportunity. For them to see this, it doesn’t get any better.”

‘MOCKINGJAY’: NO REVOLUTION By LINDSAY BAHR The Associated Press All is not well in Panem. At the conclusion of “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” Katniss’s (Jennifer Lawrence) force-field shattering arrow left the society in turmoil. The desperate act was perceived as subversion, inciting populist uprisings and devastating counter attacks by the governing elite. Thus, revolution is on the horizon in the franchise’s third installment, “Mockingjay – Part 1,” and it all hinges on Katniss, the unwitting face and spirit of the movement. You see, Katniss, much like the movie star actress who plays her, is just generally liked. Everything she does is slapped with meaning and significance, regardless of her intentions. She has become the property of the people. This has always been clear to Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who aims to use her as a propaganda machine. But there’s a problem: the girl on fire has flamed out. In the chaos that followed the conclusion of the second film, Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) was captured by the Capitol, District 12 was destroyed (though Katniss’ mother, sister and the steely jawed Gale (Liam Hemsworth) escaped alive), and Katniss was taken by the militaristic District 13. Their

“THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 1” STARRING: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth PLOT: When Katniss destroys the games, she goes to District 13 after District 12 is destroyed. She meets President Coin who convinces her to be the symbol of rebellion, while trying to save Peeta from the Capitol. RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some disturbing images and thematic material RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 3 minutes president, Alma Coin, (franchise newcomer Julianne Moore), needs her to be their poster girl. “Mockingjay – Part 1” is, ultimately, a slow-burn portrait of the repeated rise and fall of dystopia’s most reluctant hero, nimbly told through its examination of the mechanics of propaganda. With the help of Plutarch, Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) and the toned-down (but still delightful) Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks), Katniss attempts to serve the cause in her own way. But it’s not just a matter of convincing her to forget, or at least shelve, her past traumas.

Philip Seymour Hoffman portrays Plutarch Heavensbee in a scene from “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.”

• MOCKINGJAY Continued from page 18 Katniss’s confidence and devotion to the revolt is put to the test when she sees how the evil President Snow (Donald Sutherland) is manipulating Peeta and using him for his own propaganda needs. In the Games, the goal was simple: Keep Peeta alive. Now, Katniss is powerless, just a tool of the machine. Charred and fatally wounded bodies aside, “Mockingjay – Part 1” is not for the faint of heart when it comes to the relentless emotional torture of its heroine. Director Francis Lawrence, in his second outing in the franchise, stays fairly true to the original text, carrying over the war-torn bleakness of “Catching Fire” without any of the disturbing thrill of the Games. He sprinkles in a handful of fairly exciting action sequences (one of which was not actually described in the book), but he mostly allows the film to luxuriate in the

quiet moments. Yet too many involve Katniss tearing up while sitting on piles of rubble. In its best moments, the movie has a tense, night before the battle feel. Only the battle is still a year away. Ever since the “Harry Potter” juggernaut split its final story into two separate films, it’s become standard practice in Hollywood for every successful franchise, regardless of whether or not the story is there. “Mockingjay – Part 1” is a serviceable entry into the conclusion of Katniss’s saga. It boasts some imaginative visuals, a few truly thrilling moments and standout performances from Lawrence, Banks, Harrelson and Hoffman, to whom the film is dedicated. Still, even with Hoffman’s subtly brilliant reaction shots, it does not seem to be the type of movie that fans will revisit on its own. This half is part of a whole in the most cynical way. You say you want a revolution? They’ll get to that next year.

THEATER xxx

Raue’s ‘Hardbody’ a Chicago premiere By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Getting a Nissan Hardbody truck on stage was a bit of a challenge as the Raue Center prepared for its upcoming musical production of “Hands on a Hardbody.” But that wasn’t the biggest hurdle. Actually gaining the rights to premiere the show in the Chicago area was a bigger accomplishment, said artistic director Richard Kuranda, who also is the Raue’s executive director. “It’s huge for us. We’ve never done anything like it,” Kuranda said of the production, which is presented by the Raue’s in-house company Williams Street Repertory. The show opens at 8 p.m. Nov. 21 and runs on select dates through Dec. 7. “I found out a lot of the theaters were circling it, but everybody was up in the air about it because of the truck,” Kuranda said. “We tracked it down and jumped on it quickly and never thought we’d get the rights.” Based on a 1997 documentary of the same name and an actual contest in Texas, “Hands on a Hardbody” tells the story of 10 Texans as they try to outlast each other to win a Nissan Hardbody truck. All must keep their hands on the truck. A fan of the band Phish and its lead singer Trey Anastasio, who co-wrote the show’s music, Kuranda had been interested in it for awhile. He also loves

the story. “I come from a small coalmining town in Pennsylvania,” he said. “The thing that hooked me about this story is it’s an underdog story. It’s all about the American dream and what you can do with a little bit of luck.” On Broadway last year and nominated for three Tony Awards, the musical is based on a true story of 10 down-ontheir luck people. Along with their efforts to win the truck, it tells their back stories. Winning the truck literally could change their lives, said Mark Mahallak, the director/ choreographer for the show. Mahallak also directed Williams Street Repertory’s Chicago premiere of “Suds” this past summer and “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” last year. “Sweeney” won four Broadway World Chicago awards, including a best director win for Mahallak. “Hardbody” is the latest in Williams Street’s efforts to offer contemporary shows. With the music described as rock and country, or “rockabilly,” it’s not the typical music heard in musicals, Mahallak said. Along with “rip-roaring fun musical numbers,” the songs include ballads, gospel and blues. “The subject matter itself speaks to a segment of society that a lot of times is forgotten,” Mahallak said. “These people aren’t rich. None of them are well-to-do,” he said. “Even the people run-

These people are very recognizable as everyday people. Even though it’s set in Texas, it speaks to a Midwestern sensibility. ... I find that people in the Midwest kind of root for the underdog.” The production includes numerous dance numbers, some performed with the cast’s hands attached to the truck. The truck is placed on a device that lifts its wheels off the ground, allowing it to be moved across the stage. “They’re pushing and turning that truck,” Mahallak said of the cast. Other song and dance routines happen during the 15-minute breaks contestants are given both in the musical and in real life, when they can remove their hands from the truck. In the end, the winning contestant has a hand on the truck for five days. “The thing I like the most about it is it’s accessible,” Kuranda said. “This is a contemporary musical that really is well-written. It’s savvy. It’s emotional. ... You could turn on the radio and hear the songs.”
