Shoppers out looking for deals Local shops gear up for Saturday

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com

Early morning Black Friday Target shoppers (from left) Allie Worley, mom Deb Worley and Kelly Ladd, all of Crystal Lake, look for bargains shortly after 6 a.m. Friday in Crystal Lake. While there were crowds at stores Friday morning, some of the holiday shopping bustle has shifted to Thursday night – figures from the National Retail Federation show the number of Thursday shoppers jumped 27 percent from 2012 to 2013.

Stores see smaller Friday crowds after Thanksgiving rush

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Neatly written on a loose-leaf sheet of paper were names, items to buy, prices, plus a budget for each of the 15 people Stephanie Vich of Marengo was shopping for on Black Friday.

She clutched her organized plan of attack in the Crystal Lake Target while explaining it was her first

time venturing out for Black Friday in a few years. Although it was destined to be a highly productive day, Vich said the experience wasn’t exactly how she remembered it.

What was once an early-morning flood of shoppers was this year more like a trickle at stores such as Target and Kohl’s in Crystal Lake.

“Even just a few years ago, things used to be out of control today,” Vich said in the middle of the

baby clothes aisle. “It’s gotten drastically less crowded on Black Friday since the last time I came out.”

The manager of logistics at Target, Josh Eich, seemed unfazed by the underwhelming Friday morning crowd, saying the big shopping rush took place the night before.

“Thursday night is the new Black Friday, for sure,” Eich said,

For local business owner Carol Chrisman, the Saturday after Thanksgiving is her time to thrive.

“It’s like my Black Friday,” said Chrisman, who owns Black Orchid Boutique, 1226 N. Green St., McHenry. “Small Business Saturday is something that helps every small business owner and the community by helping the local businesses keep their doors open.”

Small Business Saturday is a 5-year-old movement meant to underscore the importance of localization during the busy holiday shopping season. Started in 2010 by American Express, it has become a chance for mom-and-pop shops of every community to stay competitive amid doorbuster deals of big box retailers.

Many local storefronts will be promoting one-day only deals and promotions.

Sue Nelson of Nelson’s Jewelry, 1 Crystal Lake Plaza, Crystal Lake, said it’s nice to get a spotlight every year and explained her plans to attract customers on Saturday.

“We’re going to be giving away a free strand of freshwater pearls, a $50 value, for tomorrow only to customers who spend $100 or more,” Nelson said.

Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce President Mary Margaret Maule said being locally aware is crucial in order to keep a community going.

@NWHerald

The ups and downs in Zipperland OK, dear reader, let me start out this column by amazing you. I am going to predict something and you will easily verify that I am correct.

Then you can go back to relaxing and reading the rest of this column.

Here’s what I want you to do: You know the part on a zipper that you pull on to open and close it? Well, it’s officially called the “slider” or the “pull tab,” but most of us guys just call it the “zipper thingy.”

Whatever you want to call it, please go to your closet or dresser and grab a pair of pants. Look closely at the zipper thingy. I predict you will see the letters “YKK” stamped on it.

Now go and be amazed.

Well, was I correct? I told you so! I also predict you checked a few other pairs of pants and found the same letters, right? And I further predict you have now returned to this column and are wondering, “Geesh, either this Penkava is a zipper savant or he’s been in my closet.”

Neither is the case, although I have read so much about zippers researching this column that if I was playing Jeopardy, I’d pick “Zippy Ideas ” for

LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava $1,000 and when the board said, “YKK,” I’d answer, “What is the abbreviation for the ‘Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha’ zipper company?”

Alex Trebek would say, “That is correct!” and I’d zip on to the next category.

Before we leave our beloved YKK, there’s a few things I found out about this company that are quite interesting. YKK manufactures about 90 percent of all the zippers in the world … about 7.2 billion annually … enough zippers to wrap around the earth 50 times. This company has factories in 71 countries and offers zippers in almost 10,000 colors … including 20 shades of black. Among the famous people who have sported their zippers is Neal Armstrong, who zipped up his spacesuit on the moon with a YKK zipper.

But zippers were not always called zippers. Back in the middle 1850s they

were patented as the “Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure.” Later, at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago they were called the “Clasp Locker.”

The name evolved to its present name when B. F. Goodrich produced zippered boots and he decided to market the product by its “zip” sound … and voila … zip-a-dee-do-dah!

But that’s not to say zippers are the perfect solution to life’s ups and downs. Take, for example, the occasional zipper at half mast in public.

You see a poor guy whose fly has yielded to gravity, but what do you do? Do you say something to him?

And, if so, what?

Below are a few subtle but creative ways I’ve heard to give a kindly alert…

“Excuse me, but you’ve got a security breach at Los Pantalones.”

“Your pod bay door is open, Hal.” “Sir, I believe that the price of metal has fallen.”

“Hey buddy, you’ve got Windows open on your laptop.”

But, beyond a random embarrassing U.S. Trouser Open, zippers have proven to be a wonderful invention.

They give our lives closure like no other fastener. Sure, you have your duct tape and your Velcro, but zippers offer us a clasp of the obvious in sublime onomatopoeic effect … with every upward or downward journey we hear it proudly declare its name … zip!

It is like what Fire Chief Beatty said as he observed the role of technology in Big Brother’s aim to abolish individual thought in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451: “The zipper displaces the button and a man lacks just that much time to think while dressing at dawn …”

Ponder that as you scour your wardrobe in search of YKK zipper thingies.

• Michael Penkava is a retired teacher who taught for 35 years at West Elementary School in Crystal Lake. He thinks they should put an electronic chip in the zipper thingy that communicates with your cellphone to warn you when your zipper is down. They could call it, “Virtual Fly Alert.” He can be reached at mikepenkava@comcast.net.

Woodstock, CL host annual lighting festivals

OODSTOCK – On a frosty Friday evening, hundreds gathered at the middle of the Square in Woodstock and led a countdown that ushered in the holiday season.

Within seconds, the numerous buildings and trees that form the Square were illuminated with tens of thousands of white, holiday lights.

The many people who witnessed the city’s annual “Lighting of the Square” cheered, as carolers broke out into song.

It’s an important tradition in Woodstock that draws the community together, said City Council member Mike Turner, who started this year’s countdown to the holiday lighting.

“It’s something we’ve been doing for a very long time and something we want to continue to build on,” Turner said. “It’s a good family event but also good for the businesses and merchants.”

CARY – Two facade grants recently were approved by the village for two owners of a multi-tenant building at 200 and 208 W. Main St. in the downtown area.

The grants total about $17,000.

The village agreed to contribute up to $10,000 to the Cary Ale House & Brewing Company, a planned businesses at 208 W. Main St. The business plans to complete exterior improvements, including putting up a corrugated metal awning, signage, windows, exterior lighting and parking lot work.

Overall, Cary Ale House is investing $200,000 into the property, including interior upgrades such as a remodeled kitchen, new furniture, electrical upgrades, plumbing work, new fixtures and a small microbrewery in the lower level of the space.

“We still believe that our improvements will help the village of Cary in its desire to beautify the downtown area and increase local commerce,” Cary Ale House President Chris Panagakis and Vice President Dustin Davies wrote in a letter to the village.

In conjunction with the Cary Ale House work, the east portion of the multi-tenant building, owned by William Stoval, also has improvements planned.

Stoval plans to extend the awning along to his side of the building, according to village documents. In addition, Stoval plans to install two new windows, a new door and contribute toward parking lot improvements. The work is estimated to cost $14,630.

The village approved a grant for $7,315.

Spectators watch Friday as a man dressed as Santa Claus throws powder into the air to signal the tree to light after the Festival of Lights Parade in Crystal Lake. The parade of lights, marking the arrival of Santa in downtown Crystal Lake, happens every year on the day after Thanksgiving, and is the city’s only nighttime parade.

Possible relief for those with bad credit Changes to a widely used credit score may make it more likely for consumers struggling with low scores to obtain loans.

Fair Isaac Corporation’s newest FICO credit scoring model will change certain aspects of how it computes the information on an individual’s credit report. The changes come in the wake of discussions with lenders and regulators looking to find ways to increase consumer lending without creating additional credit risks. These are some of the changes included in the FICO Score 9 formula: • Any debt that has been

consumers receiving a FICO Score increase of up to 25 points. Even small credit score increases may help consumers qualify for better interest rates from lenders (although other factors are also considered).

Fair Isaac Corporation isn’t the only credit scoring company that has adjusted the calculations for its credit scoring formula. A lesser known company, VantageScore Solutions, already has a credit scoring formula that does not include paid collections on its credit reports. Other credit scoring companies may follow suite and make adjustments to their credit scoring calculations.

Fair Isaac Corporation hopes to begin releasing the software for FICO Score 9 in the fall. However, it is up to individual lenders whether to upgrade to the newer version.

As a result, it may take some time to gauge whether the changes will have an effect on consumer lending.

Stoval had considered finding another dry cleaner, but the environmental hazards of perchloroethylene, a solvent used in drying cleaning, were significant, and he had the equipment removed, he said in an email to the village. The space has been for sale or lease since.

Exterior facade grants are matching dollars split on a 50/50 basis. Work has to be completed and contractors paid before the village reimburses the property owners, Community Development Director Chris Stilling told Village Board members.

The village does not have a dedicated facade grant program, but its economic development plan and policy allows for awarding economic incentives on a caseby-case basis.

The village also set aside $100,000 in its 2014-15 budget to be used for economic incentives.

Culminating event planned for Dec. 13 • DONATIONS Continued from page A3 Duncan has teamed with her friends from Sunshine Taxi Company and the moderators of the Free Items In McHenry County Facebook group to put on the monthlong drive that has garnered about 300 coats, three bins of gloves and hats, and “quite a bit” of food.

Seeing how many people are truly in need has been a revelatory experience, Duncan said.

“It definitely humbles you because you don’t really realize how many people don’t have things we take for granted,” Duncan said. “Parents will come in for their kids, but they are freezing as well because they might not have a coat.

It’s heartbreaking.”

Saturday’s opportunity for free admission is just a preview of the culminating event on Dec. 13, Duncan said.

Admission will be free to all on that day, and the coats and food that have been collected will be distributed to anyone who needs it. Every child also will receive a present.

“McHenry doesn’t have much for kids to do in general, and we want the less fortunate kids to have a good time and get a present and take a coat and food if they need it,” Duncan said. “If you’re in need, we’re here to help.”

She said donations would continue to be collected through Dec. 6. Anyone who wants more information about Saturday’s event or the Dec. 13 event can call 815-790-1883.

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A group of 10 to 12 people stood on a Crystal Lake corner on Black Friday, picketing in support of Wal-Mart employees and joining a movement taking place in various parts of the country, including Chicago.

Since about 2012, protesters have spent Black Friday targeting the largest United States retailer, demanding higher wages and full-time positions for its workers.

An organizer of the modest group standing on the corner of Rakow Road and Route 31 near the Crystal Lake WalMart was John-Peter Creighton, who said he’s a member of the American Federation of

State, County and Municipal Employees.

Creighton said he didn’t believe any of the local protesters were Wal-Mart employees because most workers feared retaliation by the corporation.

The group instead comprised local union members and interested individuals.

“The reason we’re here is to make people aware that Wal-Mart is not paying fair wages,” Creighton said. “We would like them to pay fair wages and give fair hours to employees.”

A similar protest on a larger scale took place in Chicago, according to an Associated Press report, which said about 100 people stood outside one of the city’s stores waving signs and chanting.

Lack of bustle was a downside for some adding he still expected a steady flow of customers throughout Friday.

Figures from the National Retail Federation show the number of Thursday shoppers jumped 27 percent from 2012 to 2013.

Cousins Rhonda Hoy and Joann Harman of Wauconda said the lack of crowds at 6 a.m. was disappointing.

“This is tradition,” Harman said. “We’ve been doing Black Friday for years. It’s the adrenaline we love, but now it’s not there.”

While most big box stores opened during Thanksgiving, Menards was one of the only big box stores to keep its door closed until Friday morning.

“We still believe in spending the holidays with the family,” Crystal Lake Menards manager Jeff LaPak said.

Featuring a six-hour sale from 6 a.m. to noon, the home improvement store was packed when it first opened Friday, unlike most of the other chain stores that held many of their doorbuster deals Thursday night.

For Crystal Lake residents Robin Stevens and her 22-year-old daughter Heather, Menards was the last stop Friday after kicking off their spree at 7 p.m. the night before.

Less than two full days and about $700 later, the mother-daughter pair expected to complete all of their holiday shopping by the end of Friday

LOCAL BRIEF

items in 2014, according to a National Retail Federation survey. Shoppers are expected to spend a total of $616 billion by the end of the holiday shopping period.

Manager of the Algonquin JCPenney Hank Denecke said shoppers definitely seemed willing to spend this year.

He said housewares seemed popular, as did sweaters and outerwear, which he suspected was because of the earlier-than-usual drop in temperature.

“It’s been great so far,” Denecke said. “There’s been a lot of Christmas buying going on.

They’re all in good moods and ready to shop, and we’ve been very happy with the crowd.”

By midmorning, the JCPenney parking lot was semi-full, but similar to Target, Denecke said many shoppers took advantage of Thursday night’s sales.

“It’s getting earlier and earlier,” he said. “Last year we opened at 8 p.m. Thursday.

This year it was 5 p.m.”

Events draw in visitors • FESTIVALS Continued from page A3 The holiday event typically drives many residents to the shops and restaurants that line the Square in downtown Woodstock. But it also draws visitors.

Jennifer Schroeder and her family stopped to witness the event after traveling from Kyle Grillot - kgrillot@shawmedia.com their home in Palos Heights to District 47 school bus drivers and attendants riders wave from inside a cut down their Christmas tree highly decorated school bus float during the Festival of Lights Parade at Oney’s Tree Farm in Woodon Friday in Crystal Lake.

farm and then to eat in the downtown. They said, ‘Did you know there was a tree lighting?’ And here we are,” Schroeder said. “It was an end to a good day.”

Elsewhere in the county, the Downtown Crystal Lake organization hosted its annual Festival of Lights Parade on Friday. Numerous holiday-themed floats traveled the roughly one-mile route through downtown Crystal Lake.

The parade ended at the city’s Christmas tree, located near Crystal Lake Avenue and Williams Street.

Mom: Team ‘blessed with so much talent here’ • CARY-GROVE Continued from page A1 will be the fourth state title game for the Trojans, with their lone title coming in the 2009 season, when they also played Providence.

“We’re a small town and we only choose from the kids that live in this district, and we’ve just been so blessed with so much talent here, they’re just a great team,” said Lisa Davison, mother of C-G player Jon Davison.

Fans know the Trojans will be playing in their toughest game of the season on Saturday against the Celtics (12-1), but remain hopeful the team will bring back another state title.

“We’re feeling good, it will be a very good game and a very close game, and as a parent I have to believe that we will win,” said Lori Ruhland, mother of C-G players Trevor and Colton Ruhland.

Creativity required to compete with major chains • SATURDAY Continued from page A1 “The success of local businesses attracts and encourages other entrepreneurs to start local businesses, which leads to more jobs and revenue recirculating throughout your community,” Maule said. “It promotes choice. It makes your retail environment unique.”

But to compete with national chains, it can take a little bit of creativity on the part of local entrepreneurs.

Some, such as business owner Louise Steinbach, organize entertainment for customers.

“Saturday will be interesting,” said Steinbach, owner of Fabric, Fiber and Finds at 5150 Route 14, Crystal Lake. “We’re doing a bunch of demonstrations.

Somebody’s spinning yarn on a spinning wheel, there will be jewelry-making and glass fusion.”

According to the National Federation of Independent Business, the localization movement is growing with half of American consumers now aware of it and 82 percent of those aware planning to partake.

Illinois Route 66 getting electric charging stations

STATE BRIEF Chicago police: 1 killed in shooting at store CHICAGO – Chicago police say a man shot his girlfriend before fatally shooting himself in a Nordstrom in Chicago’s River North neighborhood.

News affairs spokesman Hector Alfaro says police received a call about a shooting on the second floor of the store at 8:30 p.m.

He said the man was found dead upon on arrival. The woman was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition.

Alfaro said the woman was a seasonal Nordstrom employee. Their names and ages were not immediately available.

Police say there was no threat to other customers or employees.

Will be built in eight cities along highway The ASSOCIATED PRESS

– Wire report

CHICAGO – Illinois’ portion of historic Route 66 is getting a high-tech upgrade with the installation of a network of electric vehicle charging stations.

The project will allow drivers of electric cars to zoom along the 300-mile stretch from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River near St. Louis.

The $1 million project is being supported by automakers with technical help from the University of California at Davis. Work begins this month and should be finished by summer.

“This new project exemplifies Illinois’ place as the inno-

A FIT FOR EVERY FOOT

vation capital of the Midwest,” said Gov. Pat Quinn in a news release announcing the project on Friday.

Charging stations will be built in eight cities. From north to south, they are Plainfield, Dwight, Pontiac, Normal, Lincoln, Springfield, Carlinville and Edwardsville.

Each stop will have at least one fast-charging station, which can charge up a car within 15 to 20 minutes.

Starting in the 1920s, the old U.S. Route 66, also known as the Mother Road, connected Chicago with Santa Monica, California.

Though embedded in popular culture, the 2,400-mile road was eventually overtaken by the interstate highway system and was officially decertified in 1985, though most of the original route is still drivable.

Pot funds could go to schools Growers say they’d put money toward education if OK’d The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Their plan is for a $5 million to $70 million, 20,000-squarefoot growing operation.

Edgewood Trustee Ervin Yocum said the village views the proposal as it would any other business venture. He also owns the land where the cultivation center would be built and would sell it to the group if they get the state license.

“We need the jobs down here,” Yocum said. “It’s a medicine.”

State officials plan to award licenses before the end of the year.

“We feel our application is going to be successful,” Loevy told the newspaper. “We like our chances, and if it works we’re going to be able to donate millions of dollars to education in Illinois at a time when more funding is really needed.”

STATE BRIEF Baby born in stairwell in Schaumburg SCHAUMBURG – A mother and infant are doing well after she delivered the baby in a stairwell at a condominium complex in Schaumburg.

The Schaumburg Fire Department sent a crew Friday to help and two other suburbs sent ambulances to the building. But the woman had given birth before the paramedics arrived.

WMAQ-TV reports the parents named the baby Tristan. The father said the baby arrived seconds after the couple called 911. The pair had gone to the hospital Thursday evening, but were sent home to wait for the labor to progress.

CHICAGO – A well-known Chicago civil rights attorney wants to branch out into the medical marijuana business and is pledging to donate half of the earnings to support educational initiatives in the state.

Jon Loevy and several partners have applied for a permit to open the farm in Edgewood, a small town in Effingham County in southern Illinois. He said they would channel half of their earnings to help fund projects including new charter schools in underserved com-

munities.

“Illinois has created a real opportunity for profits, and a lot of the groups chasing this are hedge funds and private equity firms trying to get rich,” Loevy told the Chicago SunTimes. “We see this as an opportunity to reroute millions of dollars to education in Illinois when it’s really needed.”

His partners include Michael Kanovitz, Loevy’s partner at the Loevy & Loevy law firm, and real estate developer Rich Silverstein.

Under its new medical marijuana program, Illinois will award 22 farm licenses and 60 dispensary licenses throughout the state. Loevy and his partners are competing with three other would-be growers for the permit in that particular district.

States a factor in legal status

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

By BOB CHRISTIE The Associated Press PHOENIX – If Christian Avila lived a few hundred miles to the west, he would have a driver’s license and qualify for in-state college tuition and a host of other opportunities available to young people granted legal status by President Barack Obama two years ago.

But Avila lives in Phoenix, and the 24-year-old immigrant who was brought here from Mexico by his parents at age 9 still has to navigate the sprawling city in fear as he drives to school or work.

“You get nervous, your legs start to tingle a little bit when there’s a cop behind you, when you’re doing nothing wrong by driving to work,’ said Avila, a community college student and immigration activist.

“You’re not breaking any rules, you’re following the law. But unfortunately it’s where we live.”

With last week’s action

by Obama that expanded the deferred action program and added millions of other immigrants, Avila’s plight highlights a harsh reality about the president’s changes. The president may be allowing them to remain in the U.S., but it doesn’t mean their state will let them drive a car, get an education at an affordable rate or obtain health insurance.

A patchwork of rules began to form in states – largely along political lines – after the president allowed some young immigrants to stay in the country. Conservative states like Nebraska and Arizona kept them from getting driver’s licenses while liberal locations were much more welcoming in terms of state services and benefits.

Now, states must make new decisions on how to respond to the president’s action that allows millions more immigrants to remain in the U.S. In California, Democrats, immigration groups and health care advocates are pushing for the immigrants to receive health care under the state’s version of the Medicaid program. The California Department of Health Care Services is deciding how to proceed. The president’s action excludes immigrants who came to the country illegally from qualifying for federal health benefits.

In Nevada, officials are drawing up a bill for the Legislature making clear that unauthorized immigrants can become teachers in the state. Current rules specify that a prospective teacher must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident before they can receive a teaching license in Nevada.

A new gubernatorial administration in Arizona will have to decide whether to continue a hard-line approach toward state benefits that outgoing Gov. Jan Brewer took.

After Obama took action in 2012 granting legal status to 1.8 million young people brought to the U.S. as children, Brewer issued an executive order denying them driver’s licenses or other state benefits, including instate tuition at the state’s public universities. A federal appeals court ruled the license ban was unconstitutional, and Brewer is considering an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“Our position is unilateral action by the president does nothing to change the fact that an illegal alien’s presence is the United States is not authorized under federal law,” Brewer spokesman Andrew Wilder said.

Shoppers line up outside a Best Buy in Dartmouth, Mass., on a rainy night while waiting for the store to open at 1 a.m. Friday. Best Buy’s website was down Friday morning for about an hour, and for another hour again in the evening. Increased mobile device traffic was cited as the cause.

Black Friday a bit less frenzied

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO and MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press NEW YORK – Black Friday seemed a little less crazy this year.

There were squabbles here and there, and elbows got thrown, but the Friday morning crowds appeared smaller than usual and less frenzied, in part because many Americans took advantage of stores’ earlier opening hours to do their shopping on Thanksgiving Day. That might be hard to stomach for people worried about commercial encroachment on Thanksgiving. But it is good news for bargain-hunters who hate crowds.

Whether it’s good news for retailers remains to be seen.

Sales estimates for the start of the holiday shopping season will start trickling out later in the weekend.

Stores such as Wal-Mart

and Target reported brisk Thanksgiving crowds. The colossal Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, said it drew 100,000 people between 5 p.m. Thursday and 1 a.m. Friday, nearly what it draws over a typical full day.

On Friday, plenty of shoppers were out, but it wasn’t elbow-to-elbow, said Moody’s analyst Michael Zucchero, at a mall in northern Connecticut.

“Traffic seems a little light,” he said. “Stores being open last night takes away some of the early birds.”

Brooklyn residents Paul and Mary Phillips shopped at Target, Old Navy and Marshalls on Friday at the Atlantic Terminal Mall in New York City.

They picked DVD box sets for $5, marked down from $45, and speakers for $19, down from $50. They didn’t even have to wait in line.

“Because stores were open on Thursday, they’re not as

Pope Francis (right) is welcomed Friday by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the presidential palace in Ankara.

Pope urges more Muslim opposition to IS in Turkey The ASSOCIATED PRESS ANKARA, Turkey – Pope Francis urged Muslim leaders to condemn the “barbaric violence” being committed in Islam’s name against religious minorities in Iraq and Syria as he arrived in neighboring Turkey Friday for a delicate visit aimed at improving interfaith ties.

Francis sought to offer a balanced message as he met with Turkish political and religious officials at the start of his second trip to the Middle East this year. He reaffirmed that military force was justified to halt the Islamic State group’s advance, and called for greater dialogue between Christians, Muslims and people of all faiths to end fundamentalism.

“As religious leaders, we are obliged to denounce all violations against human dignity and human rights,” Francis told Mehmet Gormez, Turkey’s top cleric and other religious officials gathered at the government-run Religious Affairs Directorate. “As such, any violence which seeks religious justification warrants the strongest condemnation because the omnipotent is the God of life and peace.”

Francis condemned the “barbaric violence” by IS against Christians, Yazidis and other religious minorities and the destruction of their places of worship.

The Vatican has voiced particular concern about the expulsion of Christians from communities that have had a Christian presence for 2,000 years and has demanded that they be allowed to return home in safety once the conflict settles.

Francis’ three-day visit to the Muslim nation comes at a sensitive moment for Turkey, as it struggles to cope with 1.6 million refugees fleeing the IS advance in Syria and weighs how to respond to U.S. calls to get more engaged with the international coalition fighting the extremists.

Turkey has accused the group of casting a shadow over Islam and has said Muslim countries have a duty to stand up against its radical views.

But Turkey is still negotiating with the United States over helping the coalition, pressing for a safe haven and a no-fly zone along the Syrian border with Turkey and demanding the coalition go after Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime.

crowded now,” Paul Phillips said.

There were scattered reports of shopper scuffles and arrests. In addition, protests were planned nationwide over minimum-wage laws and the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri.

Protesters interrupted holiday shopping at major stores around St. Louis to vent their anger over the decision not to indict the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown.

They temporarily shut down two large malls in suburban St. Louis. At one of those, the Galleria Mall in Richmond Heights, about 10 miles south of Ferguson, at least 200 protesters gathered.

Several stores lowered their security doors or locked outside entrances as protests sprawled onto the floor while chanting, “Stop shopping and join the movement.”

In Chicago, about 200 peo-

ple demonstrated near the city’s popular Magnificent Mile shopping district, calling on people to boycott Black Friday shopping to show their solidarity with protesters in Ferguson.

Other disruptions: Best Buy’s website went down on Friday morning for about an hour, and then for another hour again in the evening.

Spokesman Jeff Shelman said “a concentrated spike in mobile traffic” prompted the company to temporarily shut down the site. Online monitoring firm Dynatrace said Cabela’s, Foot Locker and J.C. Penney also had website problems.

Online shopping, especially on phones and tablets, may be siphoning off some shoppers from the malls.

IBM, which tracks online sales, said they rose 8 percent compared with Black Friday last year as of 2 p.m., with much-increased shopping on mobile devices.

AUSTIN, Texas – A gunman fired more than 100 rounds at downtown buildings in Austin and tried to set the Mexican Consulate ablaze early Friday before he died during a confrontation with police, authorities said.

Some of the targeted buildings are near the popular Sixth Street entertainment district, where bars close at 2 a.m., about the same time the shootings began. Thousands of people are typically on the street at that time, Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said.

“Many, many rounds were fired in downtown Austin,” he said. “With all the people on the streets, we’re very fortunate. I give thanks that no one but the suspect is injured or deceased.”

Investigators identified the shooter as 49-year-old Larry McQuilliams of Austin. Police said he had a criminal record but didn’t release details, and said they were still trying to determine a motive.

Mexico’s Foreign Relations Department issued a statement expressing “profound concern and condemnation” of the attack, but also said “there is no evidence the shots were exclusively directed at our facility.”

Other targeted buildings included Austin police headquarters and a courthouse.

Acevedo said a sergeant, while holding the reins of two police horses after his patrol, shot the gunman outside the entrance to police headquarters. But it’s not clear if that shot killed him or if he took his own life.

SKETCH VIEW

Tax talks threaten budget hole Republicans and Democrats hardly agree on anything these days, with one exception: It’s a lot easier to hand out tax breaks to special interests when you don’t have to offset them with spending cuts or tax increases on someone else.

Consider the negotiations underway between the Republican-controlled House and the (still) Democratic-led Senate over a “tax extenders” tax bill. This legislation is a periodic bonanza for lobbyists, necessitated by Congress’ bad habit of adopting certain tax deductions and credits on a temporary but renewable basis. It’s a fiscal potpourri made up of some items that are large and rational (a business credit for research and development) and some that are small and parochial (a break on auto racetracks). The total annual price tag runs to tens of billions of dollars.

Traditionally, Congress considered the tax extenders bill must-pass legislation, free of the usual requirement to be fully “paid for” because it would include a “fix” to the otherwise oppressive alternative minimum tax. That tax got permanently repaired at the end of 2012, however. So, in theory, Congress should have to “pay for” the next tax extenders bill, which must be enacted by the end of the year so that taxpayers enter the 2015 filing season knowing what rules apply to their 2014 income.

In theory. In practice, soon-to-be-ex-House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Michigan, and soon-to-be-ex-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, are discussing a deal under which some of the costliest temporary tax breaks, such as the research and development credit, a small businessinvestment deduction and a college-tuition credit, would become permanent. Others, such as bonus depreciation for business, would be extended – and none would be paid for.

While undoubtedly the path of least resistance for legislators, this approach could skew any future tax-reform effort. Switching the tax breaks in the extenders bill from one- or two-year items to permanent ones would lower expected revenue by more than $400 billion over 10 years, according to news reports on the negotiations. The rate-cutting process under tax reform would have to produce only that amount of revenue to be considered “deficit-neutral.”

The burden of balancing the budget accordingly would fall more heavily on the spending side – or perhaps on tax-code benefits for the poor, such as the earned-income tax credit and the child tax credit, both of which expire in 2017, but reportedly are not slated for newly permanent status in the discussions on Capitol Hill.

There would be a certain transparency in finally dropping the pretense that certain oftrenewed breaks, most notably the research and development credit, are temporary. The problem is simply the practical one of blowing a new hole in the budget while making the long-term goal of bipartisan tax reform harder to achieve.

Congress should allow more of the temporary special breaks to expire while paying for more of the ones it chooses to make permanent.

Instead, it may be about to force President Barack Obama to choose between signing a bad bill or none at all.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Post-election thoughts To the Editor: The midterm election is over.

Votes have been tallied. The winners have been announced, and congratulations are in order.

To the winners, we thank you for running for office, and we wish you luck. To the nonwinners, we say, “Thank you for running for office.”

Either way we need people like you.

And to the voters, wow, thank you. In elections before this one, we had a voter turnout of less than 15 percent. This election, we had a turnout of just over 45 percent.

Triple what it was before, and I thank all those who took the time out of their busy day to exercise their right to vote. Again, thank you. It was great, wonderful, but still disappointing.

Other countries have turnouts of 70 percent to 80 percent. Some as high as 85 percent, so I think we still have a ways to go. Another way to think about it: Next time you see a picture of Arlington National Cemetery, take a good look at all those headstones. These

are men and women who served, fought and died so you could exercise your right to vote. Please don’t slap them in the face and not vote.

They paid the price. Honor them by voting.

Recycle holiday lights To The Editor: ’Tis the season to be jolly, and one less worry is with the disposal of dark and nonworking holiday lights.

As reported in the Northwest Herald, now at villages, including Barrington Hills, one can discard those lights from Christmas past and add to a brighter future.

It’s the copper, plastic and making space for real waste that will bring a smile to looking good for the new year.

So wander over to those containers with nonworking lights and start off being green when all around is turning white.

Getting jobbed To the Editor: Thank God the elections are over. If I had to listen to one more politician talk about creating jobs, I think I would have heaved.

Will someone please tell me how the government can create jobs without hiring more people into the public sector? That’s just what we need! Wrong. If their intention is to pump money into public works and infrastructure, at best it would create temporary jobs. At the worst, it would continue us on the path of deficit spending.

Our economy has a life and inertia of its own. As much as Washington wants you to believe it has some effect, it’s minuscule. If

our government could control the economy, why the deep recession?

Politicians come and go, and I believe it’s the luck of the draw whether they’re considered a success; I’m speaking specifically to economics. If they happen to be elected in times of prosperity, they’re more than happy to take a bow. If elected in times of distress, they’re more than happy to blame it on the previous administration.

Our country’s prosperity does not emanate from Washington; it’s driven by the men and women that answer the bell on Monday morning.

The Bill Cosby myth is dead, so stop cheering for him Two standing ovations. That’s what Bill Cosby, in a “Hello Friend” sweatshirt and with a fist clenched above his head in defiance, received Nov. 21 at a performance in his “Bill Cosby 77” tour at a Melbourne, Florida, theater.

This fervid show of blind loyalty was only one shocker in a series of revelations about the man we once thought of as America’s Dad. More than a dozen women, and counting, accusing Cosby of sexual assault.

A former employee of NBC studios telling the New York Daily News that he guarded Cosby’s dressing room when models were brought in for “mentoring,” as well as providing copies of the money orders sent to keep them quiet.

The lingering effect of Hannibal Buress calling Cosby a “rapist” during his comedy act.

A tweet asking fans to create Cosby memes getting hijacked by his detractors. The most well-paid public relations team is having difficulty containing the damage.

Even giving the Melbourne audience of 2,000 some leeway in the presence of a cultural icon, the outpouring is deeply disturbing.

Sure, Cliff Huxtable was the perfect parent, the be-sweatered obstetrician in “The Cosby Show,” the most popular sitcom of the 1980s.

In recent years, Cosby endeared himself to a large chunk of white

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Margaret Carlson America by acting as the outspoken scold of his own people, blaming poverty on the pathologies of black culture.

But if a fraction of what we’ve heard about Cosby is true, how could Nov. 21’s crowd shout its approval? Understandable, perhaps, that the ticketholders showed up: the sunk costs of the ticket, the parking, the babysitter. Some may have gone as rubberneckers to get a closer look at the crash of a celebrity. But most went to cheer him on. The sorry display could arise only from a blend of misogyny and denial.

In that, this theater was like the wider world of the military barracks, college campuses, corporate suites and locker rooms where we treat sexual-assault victims as culprits, guilty until proved innocent.

This despite studies showing that a scant 2 percent to 8 percent of charges of rape are false.

Those in denial often cite the lack of criminal charges. But often that decision reflects not the prosecutor’s belief in the accused’s innocence but the difficulty of making charges stick. No one wants to

believe the worst of respected men, and often the “real rape” markers juries need – force, screams, bruises, a witness – are missing.

Cosby’s minions think they can stonewall. Before Nov. 21’s performance, his lawyer Martin Singer called the new claims “ridiculous, and it is completely illogical that so many people would have said nothing, done nothing, and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims if they thought they had been assaulted.”

Oh, but they did. In one lawsuit in 2005, Andrea Constand, a former director of women’s basketball at Temple University assembled 13 “Jane Does” with similar allegations about assignations in studio bungalows, chauffeured limousines, luxury hotels and a New York City brownstone that were arranged by coterie of enablers often under the guise of mentoring. Cosby settled, and they were never called to testify. Still, over the years, most of them told their stories and some have again in the past two weeks.

The suburban Philadelphia district attorney, Bruce Castor, whose decision not to prosecute Cosby is used as evidence of his innocence, said in an interview last week that it meant no such thing.

“I didn’t say that he didn’t commit the crime,” Castor said. “What I said was there was insufficient

admissible and reliable evidence upon which to base a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt. That’s ‘prosecutors speak’ for ‘I think he did it but there’s just not enough here to prosecute.’”

In contrast to the crowd in Melbourne, there’s hope in the reaction of corporate America, its finger always to the wind of a cultural shift. NBC, Netflix and TV Land have canceled multimillion-dollar projects with Cosby. David Letterman and others have refused to have him on their talk shows. And in the wider world, there’s finally an effort to bring military officers, star athletes, frat boys and CEOs to account for sexual assaults.

At the University of Virginia, fraternities have been closed until the end of the year after Rolling Stone published a report of gang rape of a freshman at one of the wealthiest, most established houses on campus.

She faced immense pressure to keep quiet about the attack and did. Since the article published, other women have told of similar experiences and of UVA administrators allegedly discouraging victims from reporting assaults to preserve the school’s reputation.

The default response when powerful men behave badly is to say they didn’t: priests, presidents, athletes, TV evangelists and movie stars. Last month we learned that

the nice star of the show “7th Heaven,” Stephen Collins, had been arrested and accused of molesting girls as young as 10 while playing the role of a pastor. We swallow excuses. It was an “honest mistake” when football player Ray Rice punched his fiancee in an elevator.

Let’s build a shrine to Penn State coach Joe Paterno and have campus police move away the few with the temerity to protest on behalf of the children who endured years of sexual abuse because he turned a blind eye to it.

We don’t let go of our myths easily, but we do eventually. That likeness of Paterno has been removed, Rice is benched and Catholic bishops have been banished. Cosby doesn’t know it yet, but Melbourne is an intermediate end for him; seven of his remaining 35 appearances have been canceled.

No matter his celebrity, in a better, fairer world, Cosby should have had to answer his accusers. The statute of limitations makes it too late to do anything about it legally, but not socially. All we have is to treat him like a pariah, to take away his pedestal, to tell the women that we’re sorry we couldn’t hear you and that we’ll listen next time. And to stop cheering.

BOYS BASKETBALL: CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL THANKSGIVING TOURNAMENT

Koch’s 21 points lead quartet of CLC players in double figures

@McHenryCoSports

Briggs placed on IR Veteran LB likely has played his last down for Bears

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake Central knew if it wanted to advance to Saturday’s championship game of its Thanksgiving boys basketball tournament, it would have to beat Carmel at its own game.

That’s exactly what the Tigers did.

They got out and ran, scoring several fastbreak buckets, and held off a late Carmel rally to win, 78-70.

“We played our best game of the season, no doubt,” said senior Ian Koch, who finished with a game-high 21 points, including two dunks. “That was probably the most fun I’ve ever had playing a basketball game.”

Crystal Lake Central (3-0) played Carmel evenly through the first quarter, leading by one, but the Tigers outscored the Corsairs, 47-30, in the second and third quarters to take an 18-point lead into the fourth.

Once again, Central had multiple players contribute – four in double figures. Jack Ortner had his biggest scoring output of the season with 18 points, while Jason Price and Cavanagh Murphy scored 16 and 15, respectively. Murphy did not play much of the third quarter because of a wrist injury.

“The fact that we had that many guys have such wellplayed games brings a smile

During the Tigers’ 23-point third quarter, Crystal Lake Central broke the Carmel press to find Cavanagh Murphy in for a chance to score. Murphy took a quick look behind him to see a Carmel defender closing in, but also Koch trailing the play. Murphy threw a behind-the-back pass that hit Koch in stride for the one-handed dunk.

Geneva’s Nate Navigato shoots while being defended by Prairie Ridge’s Christopher Bradshaw in the second quarter of a Crystal Lake Central’s Thanksgiving Tournament game Friday in Crystal Lake. Geneva beat Prairie Ridge, 46-36.

Lance Briggs’ career with the Bears after this season always has been in question, and unfortunately for Briggs, his likely final year in Chicago will end on injured reserve.

The Bears placed Briggs on IR because of a groin injury, ending his season. Briggs suffered the injury in the win over the Buccaneers and said on his TV show on Comcast SportsNet that he would be out a few weeks.

Briggs missed Lance Briggs time earlier in the season with a ribs injury, and was out seven games last season because of a shoulder injury.

In 2014, Briggs had 35 tackles, two for a loss, one quarterback hit, one interception, three passes defensed and a forced fumble.

The seven-time Pro Bowler has spent all 12 of his NFL seasons with the Bears, playing in 170 games, which is fifth-most in franchise history. He has six career defensive touchdowns, which ranks third in Bears history. Briggs was a third-round pick in 2003 and completely outplayed his draft position. In fact, Briggs was the 12th linebacker taken in that draft.

Although his past two seasons with the Bears have been marred with injuries and some off-the-field questions at the start of this year when Briggs missed practice for the opening of his restaurant, he will go down in history as one of the best players in franchise history. Briggs led the Bears in tackles in nine seasons, and had more than 100 tackles ever year from 2004 through 2012.

Briggs’ contract is up at the end of this season.

In Thursday’s loss to the Lions, Jon Bostic started for Briggs, playing weak-side linebacker in the base and nickel defenses. Undrafted rookie Christian Jones was the other nickel linebacker, and the Bears will get a long look at the two youngsters the rest of the season.

Thompson excelling at Ferris St. When Kyle Thompson walked onto Ferris State University’s campus in Big Rapids, Michigan, two years ago, he wasn’t the only newcomer to the football program.

“I came in with the new coaching staff,” said Thompson, a Marian Central graduate. “From Day 1, they’ve made it very enjoyable to be around them. They make practice fun and energetic.

We have music out there. We make it a good time.”

The Bulldogs have spread plenty of joy this fall in central Michigan, going 11-0 with the No. 1 offense in NCAA Division II under third-year coach Tony Annese.

As the team’s top tight end/H-back, Thompson is

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino a key blocker in the team’s spread offensive attack, which leads the nation with 533.5 yards a game.

He is one of 12 players to have caught at least one pass this season for the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champions while helping the running game pile up 334.5 yards a game, which ranks fourth in the country.

“I like to characterize it as you can take one part of our offense away, but you can’t take everything away,” Thompson said. “If you want

to stack guys (at the line of scrimmage), we’ll throw it over the top.”

At 11 a.m. Saturday, the top-seeded Bulldogs will host their first D-II playoff game in 18 years when they face No. 5 postseason seed Ohio Dominican.

The Bulldogs’ multifaceted attack has led to 47.8 points a game, which is No. 2 nationally, thanks to junior quarterback Jason Vander Laan, one of 36 candidates for the Harlan Hill Trophy, the D-II version of the Heisman Trophy.

“He’s like a linebacker playing quarterback,” Thompson said.

BOYS BASKETBALL: STROMBOM TOURNAMENT

PREP ROUNDUP

Bridge clutch for Whips

Marengo boys hoops advances to title tilt

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Matt Bridges couldn’t miss.

The Hampshire senior forward made all six of his shots, including four 3-pointers, and all eight of his free throws, including four in the final 31 seconds, to help the Hampshire boys basketball team hold off a furious Sycamore rally in a 59-56 win Friday at the Strombom Thanksgiving Tournament.

The Whip-Purs (3-0) led by as much as 15 in the first half, but Sycamore (2-1) tied the score at 53 on a backcourt steal and layup with 1:02 left.

Austin Spaeth made a pair of free throws, then after Sycamore missed a pair of shots, Bridges made his Mary Beth Nolan for Shaw Media two free throws with 30.9 secHampshire’s Nico Bennett blocks shot by Sycamore’s Ty Sulaver on Fri- onds left to build the lead to day in a pool play game of the Strombom Boys Basketball Tournament four. Sycamore hit a 3-pointer with 5.9 seconds left, but in Sycamore.

the Whips got the ball to Bridges on the inbound pass and he connected on his two free throws with 2.8 seconds left, then Sycamore missed a last-ditch 3-pointer from just beyond the arc at the buzzer.

The win puts Hampshire in Saturday’s 8 p.m. championship game.

“We haven’t been in the finals in a while,” Hampshire coach Bob Barnett said. “We have Rockford Jefferson, so we’ll come out and see how we do.”

The Whips led 35-20 late in the second quarter, but the Spartans scored the first 10 points of the third quarter to narrow the gap to 45-42.

Hampshire didn’t make it’s first field goal in the third until 32.7 seconds were left, but free throws kept the Whip-Purs in the lead the entire time. They went 22 for 29 from the free-throw

line in the game, with two of those misses came on lane violations on made shots that were then nullified.

“Second quarter I thought we shot well, then the second half came back to bite us in the butt,” Barnett said. “We only made one shot in the third quarter. But we knew they were going to go on a run an we knew they were going to do it with their defense. We just tried to stem the tide a little bit.”

Bridges finished with 24.

Despite just two points, Daniel Duchaj had five rebounds and four blocks.

“They were making shots, and part of the reason they were making shots is we weren’t communicating on the defense end,” Sycamore coach Andrew Stacy said. “We were breaking down, allowing them to drive by us.”

Rochester defeats Phillips for 4A title CHAMPAIGN – Rochester rolled up 525 yards of offense, beating Chicago Phillips, 4928, to win its fifth-consecutive football state championship Friday.

In winning the IHSA Class 4A title, the Rockets (12-2) took advantage of a number of miscues by the Wildcats, who became only the second Chicago Public League team to make the state title game.

Junior quarterback Daniel Zeigler threw for 302 yards and three scores while Evan Sembell rushed for 177 yards and two scores to pace Rochester. Jeremy Bivens caught eight passes for 163 yards for the Rockets. Collin Stallworth, Collin Etherton and Adam Conrady each caught only one pass but they went for touchdowns.

Phillips (12-2) was led by Corey Warren and Dewayne Collins, who rushed for 189 and 137 yards, respectively.

The Bullets (13-1) tied it again with 6:30 left in the fourth, a 7-yard scamper by quarterback Luke Bleyer.

But the Wildcats immediately regained the lead on the ensuing kickoff when Alex Zlomie broke several tackles on his way to a 91-yard return.

Williamsville tied it again at 17 with a 65-yard pass from Bleyer to Franklin with 5:15 left. Wilmington (14-0) used the rest of the clock on its 70yard, game-winning drive.

CLASS 2A Eastland-Pearl City 41, Maroa-Forsyth 12: Eastland-Pearl City (14-0) forced five turnovers and scored off each one as the Wildcats rolled over Maroa-Forsyth (10-4).

Wildcats quarterback Deven Heeren threw for 207 yards and three scores. Cody Kluck caught two of the touchdowns within his 149 yards receiving and added an interception. Walter Ollie also had a pick as well as a rushing TD. It is the Wildcats’ first title.

CLASS 3A Wilmington 20, Williamsville 17: Jordan Sarr kicked a CLASS 1A Forreston 20, Carrollton 15: 31-yard field goal for the win.

Sarr opened the scoring with a second-quarter, 26-yard field goal. Williamsville’s Adam Clark tied it with 19-yard boot in the third. The Wildcats scored within three plays on the ensuing possession, a 61yard run by Nick McWilliams.

Forreston QB Robert DeVries led the Cardinals’ rushing attack with 131 yards and a score. Fullback Spencer Cruthis added 113 and a TD. The Cardinals (13-1) rushed for 369 yards against Carrollton (13-1).

The Marengo boys basketball team defeated Oak Forest, 61-58, and Muchin College Prep, 66-42, at Friday’s Dean Riley “Shootin’ the Rock” Tournament in Ottawa to advance to the championship game.

Junior guard Zach Knobloch scored 43 points in the two victories for Marengo, hitting nine 3-pointers in the two contests.

Against Oak Forest, Knobloch scored a game-high 29 points, and Ben Volkening added 15.

Marengo (3-0) will play Metamora at 5:30 p.m. Saturday in the title game.

Richmond-Burton 71, Wauconda 70: At the Johnsburg/Richmond-Burton Thanksgiving Tournament in Richmond, the co-host Rockets held on to win behind Joey St. Pierre’s team-leading 15 points. Jake Kaufman added 14 points for R-B, and Sam Kaufman had 11.

Crystal Lake South 68, Elgin 36: At the Johnsburg/Richmond-Burton Thanksgiving Tournament in Richmond, Gators junior guard Zachary Geske scored 19 points, including three 3-pointers, to lead South. Tyler Baker and Kyle Bartusch each added 10 points.

Geneva’s height real problem for PR • BOYS BASKETBALL Continued from page C1 to my face,” coach Rich Czeslawski said. “We knew we were going to be in for a battle and we beat them at their own game. This is a big early season win for us, but we still have one more to go tomorrow.”

The Tigers will take on Geneva (3-0) at 7 p.m. in Saturday’s championship game.

Geneva 46, Prairie Ridge 36: In other action Friday night, Prairie Ridge was outmatched by the size of Geneva. The Vikings had six players of at least 6-foot-7, which was a large problem for the Wolves.

“I think there’s no question we became hesitant because of their length,” Wolves coach Corky Card said. “We didn’t play well enough to win and we need to be much, much better if we want to win games this year.”

Most of the Geneva starters were rested in the second half, including Buffalo-bound Nat Navigato, who scored 12 of his 14 points in the first half.

Chris Bradshaw led the way for Prairie RIdge with seven points.

McHenry 63, Belvidere North 60 (OT): Also playing at Crystal Lake were McHenry and Belvidere North, as junior Nick Bellich hit a 3 with 13 seconds left in overtime to

give the Warriors their first win of the season.

“With such a young group, it’s good to get the first win of the season under our belt,” Bellich said. “We were down four with a minute left and continued to fight. That’s the most fun I’ve had playing basketball in a long time.”

McHenry and Prairie Ridge will face each other at 4 p.m. Saturday for fifth place.

Hononegah 64, Huntley 43: In the first game of the day, Huntley fell to Hononegah.

Huntley (0-3) was led

by Connor Boesch with 12 points, and sophomore Jack Bessey had eight for the Red Raiders, who will take on Belvidere North at 2:30 p.m. in Saturday’s first game.

Richmond-Burton Thanksgiving Tournament in Johnsburg, senior guard Luke Lobermeier scored 21 points and made three 3s to lead the co-host Skyhawks.

Johnsburg outscored Guerin, 9-4, in the extra period. Michael Shelton added 13 points in the win.

Harvest Christian Academy 58, Alden-Hebron 47: At the Westminster Thanksgiving Tournament in Elgin, senior guard/forward Jacob Heaver led the Green Giants (0-3) with 18 points. Quentin Von Bergen added 13 points in the defeat.

WRESTLING Carmel Dual Tournament: At Mundelein, Richmond-Burton went 2-2 on the first day of the tournament, defeating Wauconda, 37-36, and North Chicago, 48-6.

Senior Grant Sutton (132 pounds) and sophomore Justin Braden (152) each won four matches for the Rockets. Sutton had three pins and one major decision.

Also for R-B, freshman Joey Kaht (120) and junior Matt Ferrero (195) each picked up a pair of victories with two pins apiece.

Vernon Hills Invite: At Vernon Hills, Woodstock North went 0-5 on the first day of the tournament. For the Thunder, senior Cody Barnes (195) finished 5-0 and Randall Kline (170) won three of his four matches.

SPORTS BRIEFS Rice, Hill lead Illinois men’s hoops past Baylor LAS VEGAS – Rayvonte Rice and Malcolm Hill each scored 17 points to lead the Illinois men’s basketball team to a 62-54 win over Baylor in the championship game of the Las Vegas Invitational on Friday night.

The victory sends Oakland to its first NCAA tournament in the program’s history.

On Nov. 17, Humm was named the Horizon League’s Defensive Player of the Year after ranking third in the conference with 4.54 digs a set.

Humm compiled 34 digs in a 3-1 victory Nov. 8 against Valparaiso, then contributed 28 digs in a 3-2 victory Nov. 14 against Milwaukee, which clinched Oakland’s first-ever Horizon regular-season title.

Her current of total 531 digs is the fourth-best single-season effort in school history.

Her digs per set ranks second for a single season.

The Grizzlies will learn their first-round NCAA opponent when tournament pairings are announced at 7:30 p.m. Sunday on ESPNU. WIAC honors trio: Wisconsin-Oshkosh sophomore linebacker Reese Dziedzic (Crystal Lake South), UW-LaCrosse senior defensive lineman Zach Kleven (Alden-Hebron) and UW-Platteville junior defensive back Devon Vance (Prairie Ridge) were named to the All-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference football teams this month.

Dziedzic led the Titans (6-4) in tackles with 82 to make the All-WIAC second team and contributed two fumble recov-

eries and four tackles for loss.

Kleven led LaCrosse (3-7) with 10.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks among his 45 tackles. He was chosen to the honorable mention all-conference squad.

Vance, who also was named honorable mention, had 45 tackles and two pass breakups for the Pioneers (7-3).

C-G duo recognized: CaryGrove grads Matt Liebforth and Kenny Pistorius were two of six players from D-III North Park University to earn All-College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin football honors this fall. Both athletes made the AllCCIW second team.

Liebforth had 39 tackles this season from his defensive tackle spot, including 6.5 tackles for loss, which ranked third on the team. Pistorius, an offensive tackle, helped North Park average more than 350 yards a game this season.

The Vikings (2-8) have won five conference games over the past two seasons, the most since the 1979-80 seasons.

BULLS 109, CELTICS 102

BLACKHAWKS 4, DUCKS 1

Healthy Bulls top Celtics

Kane scores 5th goal in 7 games

Rose back in lineup with all the starters

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com

By SETH GRUEN sgruen@suntimes.com BOSTON – The band never broke up, it was just broken for the Bulls.

But the team is hoping that Friday’s game in Boston was just the first in a long reunion tour for a starting-five that has been plagued with injuries all season.

In the team’s 109-102 win over the Celtics, Derrick Rose returned to the lineup. And finally, it appeared that the starting lineup scripted before the season – Rose, Jimmy Butler, Mike Dunleavy, Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah – finally could string together some games.

Rose, who played only 10 minutes Tuesday in Denver because of hamstring tightness, scored 21 points in nearly 28 minutes Friday. Really, however, Rose knows he is healthy by how he’s playing on the other end of the floor.

“I was able to move around defensively,” Rose said.

“When you’re playing against all these guards, (Denver’s) Ty (Lawson), (Boston’s Rajon) Rondo tonight, if you’re not healthy, it can be a long game, and I didn’t want to hurt myself anymore or make it even worse, so that’s one of the rea-

Bulls guard Derrick Rose is tripped on a drive to the basket in the first half against the Celtics on Friday in Boston. The Bulls won, 109-102. sons I pulled myself out as of the Denver game. But tonight I was able to play through it.”

It was a refreshingly uneventful game for Rose.

There was only a twinge of concern when he fell hard to the ground with 5:30 left in the first quarter after being fouled

by Rondo. He got up immediately and, as Rose said, the way he plays, he knows he’ll “end up on the floor a bit.”

There still is rust. The flashes of the old Derrick Rose did peak out, however.

After a lackluster first half when the Bulls found them-

selves down six, Rose came out in the third quarter and scored 12 points in the first four minutes. The floater he has used so much in the past – key in keeping bigger rim protectors off-balance – was working for him in the second half.

“I looked at the last two days, practicing and practicing hard,” coach Tom Thibodeau said. “So he played better. That’s going to happen.

That’s how he’s going to shake the rust off. So I just want him to keep building.”

Rose is the most publicized

and most talented player, sure. But the absence of any number of Bulls players is detrimental to the kind of run they hope to stage – particularly the energy of Noah.

Noah’s return to the lineup Friday after missing Tuesday’s game with a left knee injury might not have been the most aesthetically pleasing. He missed a number of easy baskets, including a dunk.

But he hit a key jump shot 24.4 seconds left in the game, open because Rose was double-teamed.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Kris Versteeg’s back was turned, so he couldn’t see Patrick Kane waving his stick in the air from the low slot as he hurtled past the net. But he certainly heard Kane calling for the puck. So he fought off Ducks defenseman Mat Clark just long enough to get his stick on a one-handed pass behind the net by Brad Richards, send- Patrick Kane ing a spectacular no-look, behind-the-back, through-the-legs touch pass to the front of the net just before being shoved aside by Clark.

The puck went right to Kane, who buried it.

“Amazing play,” Kane said after the Blackhawks’ thorough 4-1 victory over the Western Conference-leading Ducks.

“I think I was just yelling for it because I knew how open I was. But I didn’t know if, on his angle, he’d be able to get it to me. It was a great pass to be able to slither through the guy, get the puck and tap it out.

Great play by Richards, too, to keep it alive.”

The Hawks started the circus trip 10 days ago with coach Joel Quenneville having just tried out yet another combination of players in a desperate

search for the right mix. They’ll finish the trip Saturday against the defending champion Los Angeles Kings knowing they finally have found it, especially on that second line, where Versteeg, Richards and Kane continue to dominate.

Since they were put together against Dallas in the last home game before the trip, Kane has five goals and seven assists, Versteeg has three goals and six assists, and Richards has a goal and five assists.

“We talk about it every day – we want to try to keep getting better and keep playing our game without trying to go too crazy and create too much by taking the high risk,” Versteeg said. “We’ve just got to keep playing the way we are.”

Richards had staked the Hawks to a 1-0 lead 7:58 into the first, taking a nice outlet pass from Brent Seabrook and shooting on a 2-on-1 with Versteeg. Andrew Shaw made it 2-0 less than five minutes later on what Kane called “maybe our prettiest play of the year,” as Daniel Carcillo fed Keith with a slick backhand, and Keith immediately found Shaw in the corner of the goalmouth for the tap-in.

The Ducks seized momentum on a bizarre goal, as Patrick Maroon’s shot caromed off the glass behind Corey Crawford and came back over the net, where Hampus Lindholm bunted the puck in out of mid-air.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NOTRE DAME AT USC, 2:30 P.M. SATURDAY, FOX

Irish look to right ship against Trojans in finale

MAC FOOTBALL: NORTHERN ILLINOIS 31, WESTERN MICHIGAN 21

NIU rumbles into title game Sets up rematch with last years MAC champion Bowling Green

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Hopefully, Northern Illinois enjoyed the trip up Interstate 94.

After their 31-21 win against Western Michigan on Friday to clinch the Mid-American Conference West title, the Huskies will make a similar trip next week – except two hours further to Ford Field in Detroit to face Bowling Green in the MAC Championship game.

Six turnovers by the Broncos (8-4, 6-2 MAC) helped the Huskies ensure the rematch.

“When you turn the ball over six times, you’re not going to win many football games,” Western Michigan coach and NIU alumnus P.J. Fleck said. “Whether I’m Rod Carey, whether I’m P.J. Fleck, whether I’m Nick Saban in front of you, when you turn the ball over six times, you’re not going to win many football games.”

After NIU had a 65-yard touchdown pass from Drew Hare to Aregeros Turner on the first play from scrimmage, the Huskies proceeded to turn the ball over twice, had a field goal blocked and weren’t able to take advantage of the Broncos’ mistakes in the first half.

More online For all your Northern Illinois University sports coverage – including stories, features, scores, photos, videos, blogs and more – log on to HuskieWire.com.

However, NIU looked like a completely different team in the second half, and scored 24 unanswered points from the tail end of the first half until the end of the game. NIU got two 2-yard touchdown runs

by Hare, another 21-yard run from Akeem Daniels and a 40-yard Christian Hagan field goal on its 24-point run. The defense held Western’s offense in check, and took advantage of the Broncos’ turnovers.

“A lot of ups and downs with momentum, and that happens in a game when you have as many turnovers as you do. We were fortunate to come out on the good side of the turnover battle and that was probably the biggest key to the game, that we were able to capitalize on those in the end.”

NIU held Western Michigan tailback Jarvion Franklin, the MAC’s leading rusher coming in, to only 3.2 yards

a carry. Fleck said Franklin was dealing with an ankle injury that would have sidelined most players.

“We had a good idea of how they we’re going to run him.

They don’t make it a secret because they’re a good running football team, too,” Carey said. “It was man on man and I think for the most part we got the the better of it most of the day.”

Fleck’s team improved tremendously from 1-11 last season, and will look to win the program’s first bowl game.

However, NIU still is king of the MAC West, and will try to regain the MAC throne when it faces MAC East champ Bowling Green, the program that beat the Huskies in last year’s championship game, in this year’s title tilt.

“They know how to win.

That’s a program that I remember when I first got there, they were on a 27-game losing streak,” Fleck said of the Huskies. “At one point when Joe Novak left, they were 2-10 and needed to get back into winning ways and learn how to win again. Jerry Kill instilled that, and obviously Dave Doeren and Rod have done a tremendous job of keeping that going.

“But they know how to win. There’s not one doubt that goes through their minds the entire game that they’re not going to win.”

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Everett Golson’s favorite moment the last time he played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum came in the immediate aftermath of the 2012 game.

The quarterback remembers the celebration on the field after Notre Dame’s 22-13 victory against USC. The win wrapped up a 12-0 regular season and sealed a berth to the BCS national title game.

The circumstances are a bit different for this year’s trip to Los Angeles.

The Irish (7-4) have dropped three straight and four out of five entering Saturday’s regular-season finale against USC (7-4).

“I’m anxious to play these guys,” Golson said. “I’m anxious to get a win, to be honest.”

A lack of late-game execution in all three phases. Injuries. Inexperience. Each has played a role in the slide.

“Thinking in terms of analogies, we’ve left a lot of runners on base. We just haven’t come up

AP photo

Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson looks to the sideline against Arizona State on Nov. 8 in Tempe, Ariz. with that big hit,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “We’ve played really well at times and have had opportunities to win the game the last couple of weeks. We just haven’t gotten

that big play, that one play that we need, whether it is one more first down, one more stop.”

Notre Dame turns its attention to trying to stop quarterback Cody Kessler.

He is fifth nationally in passing efficiency (164.7). He’s sixth nationally with 30 touchdown passes.

“He has a good understanding of what we’re trying to do offensively,” USC coach Steve Sarkisian said. “He got into a really good rhythm in the latter half of the season of finding one-on-one matchups with our receivers, whether it’s Nelson Agholor, JuJu Smith, George Farmer and letting it rip.

Letting those guys go make plays. And those guys have made plays for him. He’s been throwing the ball on time. “(Last week) against UCLA wasn’t one of his best games, and he’s chomping at the bit to come back and put together a really good performance Saturday.”

The same can be said about the Irish.

“It comes down to who really wants it more,” Golson said.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ILLINOIS AT NORTHWESTERN, 11 A.M. SATURDAY, ESPNU

Bid for bowl adds spark to rivalry The ASSOCIATED PRESS EVANSTON – Although they’re separated by 150 miles and face each other every season, Northwestern and Illinois have a rivalry that lacks intensity.

In a conference where history is ever-present, the Wildcats and Illini play for a 4-yearold trophy known as the Land of Lincoln. In many seasons, like this one, both teams have losing records. And in the state’s biggest city, the game generates little buzz.

But Saturday’s edition could add a little spark.

Both teams are 5-6 (Northwestern is 3-4 in the Big Ten, Illinois 2-5) and a win from bowl eligibility.

“Games like this – playing to ruin each other’s seasons – are going to help,” said Illinois receiver Mike Dudek, who never heard much about the rivalry while growing up in Naperville

The stakes are higher at Illinois, where third-year coach Tim Beckman could be coaching for his job.

A pair of quarterback-related story lines and other things to keep an eye on Saturday at Ryan Field in Evanston:

Quarterback, part I : Northwestern will finish its season without starter Trevor Siemian. He tore a knee ligament in last weekend’s win at Purdue, Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald said.

On the bus ride home, “We had, I think, one of those talks that you never like to have,” the coach said.

The Wildcats will start junior Zack Oliver, who is 7 for 19 for 146 yards and a touchdown in three appearances this fall.

Tim Beckman

Quarterback, part II: Illinois’ usual starter, Wes Lunt, is expected to play, but he’s coming off two sluggish games after returning from a broken leg. Illinois didn’t plan to announce the starter until game time.

Backup Reilly O’Toole replaced Lunt last week and almost certainly will play some.

O’Toole isn’t the passer Lunt is, but he’s a much better runner and found ways to make key throws in last weekend’s win over Penn State.

Justin Jackson: The best offensive weapon in the game might be Wildcats tailback Justin Jackson, who has rushed for 1,057 yards on 221 carries and has eight touchdowns.

One of the hard-running freshman’s strengths is something the poor-tackling Illini defense has struggled with.

“He doesn’t go down with one tackler,” Beckman said.

“You better be gang tackling.”

COMMENTARY / BY PAUL NEWBERRY

We’re all the better for Watson’s words We need more athletes like Benjamin Watson.

Not for anything he’s done on the field, although his NFL career has stretched to more than a decade.

This is about what Watson did after he had took off the helmet and pads, putting words to his jumbled emotions in the wake of a grand jury deciding not to indict a police officer for the shooting death of African-American teenager Michael Brown.

The result was a thoughtful, poignant essay he posted to his official Facebook page. It should be mandatory reading for anyone who cares about an issue that sparked riots in Ferguson, Missouri, and protests around the country.

Watson, who is black, clearly was touched like many others by the senseless death of another young person of color.

But the New Orleans Saints tight end was much more nuanced and balanced than most of us, including plenty of athletes who took to social media to lash out in anger.

Watson appealed to those from both sides of the political divide.

He reminded us that few issues are as simple as black and white, that almost everything is tinged with a bit of gray. He again demonstrated the hefty sway held by those who play our professional sports, if they’re willing to take as much time studying up on the issues of the day as they do their playbooks.

Watson wrote of being “angry” at the racial injustices in this country, “fearful” that he could be singled out because of the color of his skin, “sad” that an 18-year-old needlessly lost his life. He also wrote of being “embarrassed” by the looting in Ferguson and how some will use that to justify the treatment of African-Americans, “sympathetic” toward white police officer Darren Wilson if he was only doing his job, “confused” by those who would disobey an

family.

“I’M OFFENDED,” Watson wrote, “because of the insulting comments I’ve seen that are not only insensitive but dismissive to the painful experiences of others.”

Maybe he was able to touch someone who felt angry enough to riot over an unarmed black teenager being gunned down in the middle of his own neighborhood, who felt that violence was the only way to deal with another racially charged death.

“I’M INTROSPECTIVE,” Watson continued, “because sometimes I want to take ‘our’ side without looking at the facts in situations like these. Sometimes I feel like it’s us against them.

Sometimes I’m just as prejudiced as people I point fingers at. And that’s not right. How can I look at white skin and make assumptions but not want assumptions made about me? That’s not right.”

Watson and the Saints were playing Monday night against Baltimore when the grand jury’s decision not to bring charges was announced. He told the Times-Picayune that he discussed it with his wife after the game and decided to write down his thoughts rather than just give a knee-jerk reaction.

In between spurts of writing, he took a nap, attended a teammate’s charity event and ran some errands.

Finally, it was done.

“I think it shows that a lot of people have a lot of different feelings and don’t quite know how to express them,” Watson told the newspaper. “It’s important that you are able to see the other side of things, even if you don’t agree with them.”

Be sure to read it, if you haven’t already.

You’ll be the better for it.

officer’s legitimate commands but equally perplexed by abuses of police power.

As of Friday, nearly 757,000 readers had clicked the “Like” button on Watson’s posting. More than 422,000 had shared the essay with their own Facebook friends.

Millions, to be sure, have been exposed to Watson’s words.

“Very surprised, since I don’t have a huge footprint on social media,” he told The Times-Picayune in New Orleans. “I do a little from time to time like everybody does, but I don’t have near the following as some Benjamin people do. I think it Watson just struck a chord and I think it just went from there.

Everyone could just really relate.”

Charles Barkley famously declared – as part of a marketing campaign, of course – that he wasn’t a role model. Rightly, he knew that parents and teachers and other mentors always will be on the front lines of steering young people toward the right path in their lives.

But, over the years, there have been plenty of athletes who had something valuable to say, even if it came at great personal and financial cost. Muhammad Ali standing up for his religious convictions during the Vietnam War. Billie Jean King pushing for equality of the sexes. Tommie Smith and John Carlos raising their fists on an Olympic podium, refusing to just quietly accept being second-class citizens in their own country.

Now it’s Watson, putting at least a little salve on the nation’s wound.

Maybe he was able to touch someone who had no doubt this was a proper use of deadly force by an officer who felt his life was threatened, who didn’t feel a lick of sympathy toward Brown or his

â&#x20AC;&#x153;HORRIBLE BOSSES 2â&#x20AC;?

STARRING: Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day PLOT: Dale, Kurt and Nick decide to start their own business, but things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as planned because of a slick investor, prompting the trio to pull off a harebrained and misguided kidnapping scheme.

RATED: R for strong crude sexual content and language throughout TIME: 1 hour, 48 minutes VERDICT: The characters of the modern workplace comedy, like the rest of us, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to make a living anymore. Having haplessly tried to murder their bosses in the first â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horrible Bosses,â&#x20AC;? Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis return in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horrible Bosses 2â&#x20AC;? as hopeful inventors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bet on ourselves,â&#x20AC;? they tell each other, making a clearly questionable wager.

They go into business with a bath product dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shower Buddy,â&#x20AC;? and with their abysmal guest spot on a morning show promoting it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear they may have backed the wrong horse.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a familiar genre trope of recent years: The idealistic selfstarter business that almost certainly wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand a chance in real life.

Dwarfed by corporations or left behind by the digital economy, comedies are routinely littered with plucky upstarts, from Kristen Wiigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s would-be baker in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bridesmaidsâ&#x20AC;? to Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle-aged Google aspirants of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Internship.â&#x20AC;? While the first â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horrible Bossesâ&#x20AC;? tried to tap into the widely held fantasy of killing the overlords of the office, its sequel mines the farce in being your own boss. The entrepreneurial efforts of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever-yammering trio, of course, fail, and the film descends into a thinly sketched kidnapping plot that serves mainly to space its celebrity cameos. Hoodwinked by a rich distributor (Christoph Waltz), the guys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nick, Kurt and Dale â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plan to kidnap the executiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playboy son (Chris Pine). The ill-conceived scheme returns them to their criminal adviser (Jamie Foxx, who the film could have used more of), Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now imprisoned former boss (Kevin Spacey) and Daleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old torturer dentist (Jennifer Aniston). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horrible Bosses 2,â&#x20AC;? directed and co-written by Sean Anders, is built on its hydra-headed leads who appear almost tethered together, crowding the frame like the Three Stooges. Bateman, Day and Sudeikis are each talented comic actors who have their riffing rhythm down, skillfully weaving and overlapping their idiotic antics. But this gratuitous sequel fails most because their triangle offense, while smooth, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dynamic enough. So â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horrible Bosses 2â&#x20AC;? goes for whatever cheap, vulgar gags it can collide into. Most unfortunate is the sex-crazed debasement of Aniston, who lights up the movie but suffers some of its lowest jokes. Really, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an altogether likable cast, all of whom appear quite game despite the lacking material. That the film skitters aimlessly away from the office is a wasted opportunity, too, since todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workplaces could use the levity. Someone should have given â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horrible Bossesâ&#x20AC;? a real job. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The

â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCARâ&#x20AC;?

STARRING: Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Christopher Knights

LOCAL SHOWTIMES not appear to be reaching for those heights, which is just as well. The story is simple, the characters are basic, unfussy and barely evolve, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no overriding lesson, moral or otherwise, to be gleaned from the tale. What we do get is a fairly amusing, surface-level spectacle. Overall, neither animation nor storytelling is particularly elevated in this outing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penguins of Madagascarâ&#x20AC;? is a passible, inoffensive addition to DreamWorks Animationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s canon, even if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a faint whiff of a North Wind spin-off sullying the contained story.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; PART 1â&#x20AC;?

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 TIME: 2 hours, 3 minutes VERDICT: All is not well in Panem. At the conclusion of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,â&#x20AC;? Katnissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third installment, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mockingjay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Part 1,â&#x20AC;? 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 thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem: the girl on fire has flamed out. In the chaos that followed the conclusion of the second

PLOT: Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private join forces with undercover organization The North Wind to stop the villainous Dr. Octavius Brine from destroying the world as we know it.

RATED: PG for mild action and some rude humor TIME: 1 hour, 32 minutes VERDICT: For a movie thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more paint by numbers than Picasso, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penguins of Madagascarâ&#x20AC;? begins with something completely unexpected: a Werner Herzog voiceover. Parodying his own work and documentary filmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; obsession with the flightless birds, the German filmmaker gives an auspiciously clever start to a movie targeted toward the younger than 10 set. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little wink to the adults in the audience right at the front. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled. This movie is almost exclusively and unapologetically for tots. Kids no doubt will be amused by the exhausting madcap antics of the cuddly breakout stars of the popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;Madagascarâ&#x20AC;? films. Parents: probably less so. The story reintroduces audiences to the illustrious spy team, giving penguins Skipper (Tom McGrath), Kowalski (Chris Miller), Rico (Conrad Vernon) and Private (Christopher Knights) a bit of an origin story before blasting them back into their espionage work. After an amusing heist, the penguins are taken captive by the evil octopus Dave (John Malkovich). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revealed that Dave (aka Dr. Octavius Brine) is out for revenge against all penguins for being the more popular and beloved attractions at zoos.

In this golden age of animation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially difficult to become an instant classic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penguins of Madagascarâ&#x20AC;? does

film, Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) was captured by the Capitol, District 12 was destroyed (though Katnissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, sister and the steely jawed Gale (Liam Hemsworth) escaped alive), and Katniss was taken by the militaristic District 13. Their president, Alma Coin, (franchise newcomer Julianne Moore), needs her to be their poster girl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mockingjay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Part 1â&#x20AC;? is, ultimately, a slow-burn portrait of the repeated rise and fall of dystopiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most reluctant hero, nimbly told through its examination of the mechanics of propaganda.

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, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mockingjay - Part 1â&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Catching Fireâ&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry Potterâ&#x20AC;? juggernaut split its final story into two separate films, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become standard practice in Hollywood for every successful franchise, regardless of whether or not the story is there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mockingjay Part 1â&#x20AC;? is a serviceable entry into the conclusion of Katnissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to that next year. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Associated Press

10 ADVICE • Saturday, November 29, 2014 • Section C • Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Mother-daughter slumber party is an every-night event Dear Abby: My mother has an odd habit that my younger sister, “Sara,” and I don’t agree with. It’s only the three of us in our house, and Sara and I are in high school and college.

Our mother forces one of us to sleep with her in her room every night. Sara sleeps in Mom’s room more often than I do and rarely gets a chance to sleep in her own bed. On the few occasions when Sara is sick, I sleep with Mom. But if we’re both sick, she picks one of us anyway.

Abby, this has persisted for years. I have tried many times to convince my mother to let

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips us sleep in our own rooms, but she ignores me or accuses me of “not loving her enough.” She says the same things to Sara.

I’m worried about my mother. I feel as though she’s depressed or worried about being abandoned. At the same time, I don’t want us sleeping in Mom’s bed forever. We have our own lives and rooms. What would be the best thing to do in this situation? – Sleepover In

Maryland

Dear Sleepover: Your mother is an adult who long ago should have learned to sleep alone. She should not be trying to “guilt” you and your sister into sleeping with her by accusing you of not loving her enough if you don’t spend the night in her bed. The two of you should ask her together why she’s doing this.

You young ladies are old enough to simply refuse if you would rather sleep in your own rooms.

But breaking this habit may not be easy for your mother, so if she says she can’t sleep without one of you with her, volunteer to stay

with her until she falls asleep and then go to your rooms.

Dear Abby: I am divorced after a 38-year marriage. The divorce was the result of an affair my husband had. Needless to say, it was – and still is – very painful. The betrayal almost killed me.

I have been seeing a therapist who has helped me immensely, but I wonder if I will ever fully recover from the hurt.

My ex has started a new life with this woman, who is almost 30 years younger than we are, and he acts like, “Oh well, it’s over.” Even though I have moved on, starting a new

life at 60 wasn’t easy.

Is it unreasonable to still have lingering pain and anger as a result of the lies and deceit I experienced from a man I loved and trusted? I can’t seem to pretend nothing happened. – Still Hurting Dear Still Hurting: I think your feelings are normal.

Something did happen to you, and it was cataclysmic. The question is, to what degree are you willing to allow this to rule your life?

You shouldn’t pretend nothing happened, but it’s important that when your thoughts drift backward, you make a conscious effort to

steer them back to the present. Devote the same energy you spend nursing hurt and anger to focusing on the future and what makes you happy. Will yourself to stay in the present and keep moving forward.

This takes focus, practice and determination, but it can be done. And continue to maintain a relationship with your therapist, because if you do, it will provide a much-needed “reality check” when you need one.

Dynamic stretches best way to warm up before exercise ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff before exercise. So, generally speaking, it’s best to do static stretches after exercise or at a separate time entirely.

The best stretches to get you ready for exercise are dynamic stretches. A dynamic stretch, as the name suggests, involves movement as you stretch.

Dynamic stretches typically take specific muscles and joints through a full range of motion.

They often mimic a sports motion. A golf swing without a club in your hands is an example of a dynamic stretch.

Dynamic stretches increase the range of motion at the joints. They help warm up the body, pumping more blood and oxygen to the muscles. They loosen up the muscles, preparing them for more intense use.

I’ll describe three dynamic stretches. You can find photos showing the correct form for these exercises on my website, www.askdoctork.com.

• Torso rotation with a reach.

Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart. Reach toward your left side with your right arm and then toward your right side with your

left arm, while shifting your weight with each change of direction. Tap your toes with each shift (your right toe when you reach your right arm, your left toe when you reach your left arm).

• Knee lifts. Stand up straight, bringing your feet together. Lift your right knee and then your left knee, touching both hands to the knee being lifted.

• Arm sweeps. Stand up straight with your feet together. As you inhale, sweep your arms out to the sides and up toward the ceiling. As you exhale, sweep your arms down to your sides.

Repeat each dynamic stretch about 10 to 20 times.

Repeat the sequence for about 5 to 8 minutes. If you’d like, you can always add a sports-specific movement to your routine – a golf or tennis swing, for example.

Stretching is as valuable as ever when exercising.

It’s just that recent studies of human physiology have taught us dynamic stretching is better before exercise, and static stretching is better after it.

Dear Dr. K: I’ve been running for years, and have always stretched before my morning run. Now I hear that I shouldn’t stretch first. Why not?

Dear Reader: You should stretch before your run – but perhaps not the types of stretches you’ve been doing.

Static stretches are what most people have traditionally done, both before and after exercise. Static stretches involve adopting and holding a position that stretches a muscle or group of muscles. For example, if you stand up straight and hinge forward at the hips, then hold the position with your arms hanging down, that’s an example of a static stretch. The purpose of static stretching is to encourage muscles to relax, which then allows them to be stretched a little longer. Static stretching promotes flexibility.

However, experts now believe static stretching before exercising does not improve athletic performance. Indeed, it actually can undercut strength and power, possibly by affecting the ability of the muscles to store and swiftly release energy.

Exercises that require explosive muscular activity – such as sprinting or dunking a basketball – seem to be compromised by static stretches

MADONNA VISITS MALAWI

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

LILONGWE, Malawi – The president of Malawi has met Madonna’s adopted daughter and son. President Peter Mutharika thanked the U.S. pop star on Friday for bringing her Malawi-born children Mercy and David back to their birth country. Friday’s meeting was symbolic for Madonna, who had a public falling-out with former President Joyce Banda. “Thank you for welcoming me here. I was a big fan of your brother. He was very kind to us,” Madonna said of Mutharika’s older brother Bingu wa Mutharika. Madonna has been visiting Malawi since 2006. She funds a number of orphanages and schools in the country. On Thursday she helped open a new 50-bed pediatrics ward in the commercial capital, Blantyre, that she helped fund.

A scene is shown from the upcoming film “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which is expected in theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.

‘Star Wars’ trailer thrills fans A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a helmetless storm trooper appeared in frame, panicked and sweaty in the middle of vast desert landscape, kicking off the first official look at “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

After months of leaked images and idle speculation around director J.J. Abrams’ film, Disney and Lucasfilm on Friday debuted an 88-second teaser trailer for the seventh entry into the blockbuster franchise online and in about 30 North American theaters.

The dark, energetic teaser, which has been watched nearly 3 million times on YouTube, blasts viewers with quick, disjointed images of classic and slightly altered “Star Wars” images, like TIE Fighters, X-Wings, droids and the Millennium Falcon.

Set to a new John Williams score, audiences get a peek at newcomers John Boyega (the storm trooper in question), Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac and a mysterious caped man in a frozen forest carrying a three-pronged light saber. Many assume the sinister, lumbering figure to be Adam Driver, who is rumored to be playing a villain in the highly secretive movie. Andy Serkis is responsible for the haunting voiceover narration in the short spot, which takes place 30 years after the events of “Return of the Jedi.”

Despite some negative reaction, overall, fans were not disappointed, even with the sobering knowledge that the actual film doesn’t hit theaters till Dec. 18, 2015.

“That ‘Star Wars’ trailer gave me the tingles,” director Edgar Wright said on Twitter.

Former ‘Real World’ cast member dies in Wisconsin

Original ‘Alice in Wonderland’ manuscript to travel to U.S. museums

KENOSHA, Wis. – Police say a former cast member of MTV’s “The Real World: New Orleans” has died in Wisconsin.

Twenty-eight-year-old Ryan Knight was found unconscious and not breathing around 10 a.m. Thursday at a friend’s residence in Kenosha. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.

Knight is from Kenosha. He was a cast member of “The Real World: New Orleans” in 2010. Kenosha police say Knight had been out with friends the night before his death, and there were no obvious signs of injuries. An autopsy on Friday didn’t find any “anatomical cause of death.”

Toxicology results are pending. Police say Knight had complained of stomach issues over the last two days, and his death is being looked at as medical or accidental in nature.

LONDON – Lewis Carroll’s original handwritten, illustrated manuscript for “Alice in Wonderland” will travel to the U.S. to mark its 150th anniversary. The British Library said Thursday it will loan the book – presented by the author to Alice Liddell, who inspired it – to New York’s Morgan Library and Museum and the Rosenbach Museum of the Free Library of Philadelphia next year. The work, which bears its original title of “Alice’s Adventures Under Ground,” was bought by an American dealer in 1928 and returned to Britain in 1948.

Mexican comedian ‘Chespirito’ dies MEXICO CITY – Roberto Gomez Bolanos, the iconic Mexican comedian who wrote and played the boy television character “El Chavo del Ocho” that defined a generation for millions of Latin American children, died Friday, the Televisa television network said. He was 85.

Known as “Chespirito,” he changed comedy in Latin America, taking his inspiration from Laurel and Hardy as well as Mexico’s other transcendent comedian who eventually made it to Hollywood, Cantinflas. The cause of his death was not immediately announced.

His two most famous characters were “El Chavo del Ocho,” who lived in the homes of Latin America and beyond with his barrel, freckles, striped shirt and frayed cap, and the naive superhero “El Chapulin Colorado,” or “The Crimson Grasshopper.” His morning show was a staple for preschoolers, much like “Captain Kangaroo” in the United States.

His nickname came from the Spanish phonetic pronunciation of Shakespeare – “Chespir” – combined with “ito,” a diminutive commonly used in Mexico that seemed natural for Gomez Bolanos because of his short stature.

Creed frontman Stapp says he’s broke LOS ANGELES – Creed frontman Scott Stapp says he’s broke. The 41-year-old lead singer of the Grammy-winning band said in a rambling 15-minute-long video posted on his Facebook page Wednesday that he’s living in a hotel.

“Right now, I’m living in a Holiday Inn, by the grace of God, because there’s been a couple of weeks where I had to live in my truck,” he said in the video. “I had no money, not even for gas or food.”

Stapp said money has been stolen from his bank account, and royalty payments have not been paid to him.

Stapp denied he’s taking drugs or alcohol and said he is “as sober as can be.”

Creed last toured together in 2012. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the 1990s, selling more than 40 million albums.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Embrace change this year. Once you have decided to be more flexible, you will be astounded at the increased opportunities that come your way. Trying to stick to a rigid routine will be frustrating and unrealistic.

Circumstances fluctuate all the time; live in the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be careful when selecting which charities you wish to sponsor. If you let your emotions take over, you could be cheated out of your hard-earned cash.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your skill and expertise will enable you to perfectly execute an important project. The accolades that come your way will set the stage for future opportunities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful when divulging personal information. It’s likely that your loved ones will hear the details at some point, so avoid saying anything that you’ll later regret.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Relationship woes are likely if you act in haste or lash out in anger. Think before you speak if you want to stay out of trouble and in a special someone’s good book.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A close friend will come to you for help. Be compassionate and offer your aid without being judgmental or critical. When you need help at a later date, this person will respond in kind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Erratic behavior will cause trouble. You will be respected if you deal with your peers, relatives and loved ones calmly and without malice. Stubbornness will get you nowhere fast.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Consider the pros and cons before you make a commitment. You may be seen as unreliable if you are inconsistent or indecisive.

Stand by your beliefs and make your voice heard.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You should take advantage of the good fortune that surrounds you. Don’t hesitate to make changes that could lead to a better future for you and your loved ones. You can boost your standard of living.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Loss is apparent. Keep a close eye on your possessions and other assets. Overspending will be your downfall. Pay your share, but don’t pick up the tab for someone else.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Emotional problems will escalate if you take on too much. It may be difficult, but it will be necessary to say no to someone taking advantage of you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you have been spending too much time inside, make plans to travel or venture out of doors. Let your imagination guide you, or arrange to go someplace that you’ve always wanted to explore.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It’s time to make a move. Staying in an unhappy situation will wear you down. Do whatever it takes to feel comfortable with the way you live and the direction in which you are heading.

CLASS 7A FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW CARY-GROVE (13-0) VS. PROVIDENCE (12-1)

Northwest Herald Saturday, November 29, 2014

Cary-Grove lineman Trevor Ruhland talks with coaches during halftime of a Class 7A second-round playoff game Nov. 8 in St. Charles. C-G beat St. Charles North, 35-14.

RUHLAND A ‘GOOFBALL’ – SERIOUSLYRY

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Fun-loving senior part of what makes Cary-Grove tick

By JOEY KAUFMAN jkaufman@shawmedia.com ARY – As the door to the Cary-Grove locker room swings open in the moments after a late November practice, the roaring laughter becomes unmistakable.

The voice carries. It needs little introduction.

It comes from Trevor Ruhland, the Trojans’ imposing left tackle. And for as big as the 6-foot-4, 270-pound lineman is, he is also every bit as loud.

“Kind of a goofball,” describes senior quarterback Jason Gregoire. “He’s a silly kid.”

For the past three years, the kid has stood at the center of the program in almost every fashion.

Since he started as a sophomore alongside guard Michael Gomez, Cary-Grove has won 33 of 38

C

games, captured two Fox Valley Conference Valley Division titles and landed in two state championship games.

On Saturday in Champaign, Ruhland, a senior, puts on his navy blue and white No. 57 jersey for the final time when the Trojans (13-0) face Providence in the Class 7A title game.

And then a familiar left side of the line will depart.

“It’s hard to talk about him and not bring up other guys like Gomez,” coach Brad Seaburg said, “because they’re so similar. They’re almost in tandem.

Ruhland and Gomez. They’ve been around for so long. They’ve been such fixtures in our program.”

Next fall, Ruhland heads to Notre Dame. He committed to coach Brian Kelly and the Fighting Irish in the spring, and when he arrives in South Bend, Indiana, it’s likely

No surprise it’s C-G, Providence for title

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARY – Although Cary-Grove maintained the proper focus on the task ahead each week, the Trojans occasionally peeked at one potential opponent for the Class 7A state championship game – Providence.

The Celtics’ reputation preceded them, as did the Trojans’. The teams were ranked Nos. 1 and 2 by The Associated Press most of the season before rolling through the playoffs with relative ease.

Football fans around the state were delighted to see the dream game for the Class 7A title game materialize as hoped. Cary-Grove (13-0) takes on Providence (12-1) for the championship at 4 p.m. Saturday at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium in Champaign.

“They’re one of the best teams in the state, historically and now,” Trojans quarterback Jason

Gregoire said. “They have a great track record of success for us to measure up against and see how truly good we are. To be the best, we have to beat the best. When we were ranked 1 and 2, it was kind of like 1A and 1B. I feel like it wasn’t really 1 and 2.”

C-G has mauled its opponents, all by double digits. Providence lost to Class 8A Loyola, 10-7, in Week 6, but has won every other game by double figures. Both teams would have fared well in any class this season.

Trojans coach Brad Seaburg admitted they were keeping an eye on what Providence was doing.

“We were aware of a lot of teams as far as 6A and 7A,” Seaburg said.

“You’d have to make an effort not to pay attention because of all the publicity [Providence] had. I know our kids talked a lot about them.”

he will slide over to guard.

He also will follow in the footsteps of his dad, Matt, who played at the Division I level. In the early 1990s, he was an All-Big Ten defensive tackle at Iowa and played in the 1991 Rose Bowl before a brief stint with the NFL’s Buffalo Bills.

The younger Ruhland calls him his “idol,” and Matt has spent the past three seasons as an assistant for the Trojans, coaching the offensive line.

“It’s great to have him around,” Trevor said. “He loves the game.

He’s not so much the X’s and O’s guy. He’s more the fire you up and get you going guy.”

There’s plenty to be fired up about as C-G preps for what could be the second state title in school history. It’s a chance to be perfect alongside teammates he’s long lined up next to.

“These are my best friends

I’m playing with,” Ruhland said.

“We’ve been playing backyard football since fourth grade together. Coming to the high school, we knew if we kept developing we could be in this position as seniors.

At the end of last year, we made this our goal. We’re here now. We got one more game together. And we’re going to make the most out of it.”

But amid a long, tough journey to state that dates to summer workouts, two-a-days in August and a 13-game season, it’s not uncommon to see Ruhland laughing it up with teammates.

“Shoot, we’ve been at it since June. You do have to have some lighter moments,” Seaburg said.

“It can’t always be straight and narrow.”

Gregoire says Ruhland likes

Too many classes for quality playoffs One Cary-Grove touchdown turned into five last week and, before long, the Class 7A semifinal was well out of hand.

Pockets of Libertyville fans began disappearing, leaving behind their orange and black balloons to dance in the wind, offering as much resistance as the football team wearing the same colors on the field.

Finally – mercifully – the horn sounded … and the scoreboard clicked over to the fourth quarter. Twelve painful minutes of garbage-time football remained in what became a 41-7 blowout.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket, Providence had just finished dismantling Chicago Mount Carmel by 21 points. The lopsided 7A scores were hardly unique.

Similar margins stretched across all eight classifications.

VIEWS Mike DeFabo liamsville by 34 in 3A. Chicago Phillips by 20 and Rochester by 19 in 4A. Montini by 37 and Sacred Heart-Griffin by 28 in 5A. Nazareth by 28 in 6A. It’s been this way throughout the postseason. In the 240 playoff games leading up to this weekend’s championship games, the average margin of victory is 20.4 points, essentially three touchdowns.

Blowouts happen. The No. 1 seed whoops up on the 16. Sure.

But, in semifinals, the margin for victory is supposed to be slimmest. Yet 11 of the 16 games last weekend were decided by three scores or more.

Cary-Grove kicker Collin Walsh tumbles over a Geneva player before his team recovers an onside kick in the first quarter of a Class 7A quarterfinal game Nov. 15 in Cary. The Trojans won, 44-26.

PREP FOOTBALL: CARY-GROVE

Doing what’s needed Walsh leaves friends, bigger role with sophomores to kick for varsity

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARY – Collin Walsh enjoyed being an integral part of the offense for CaryGrove’s sophomore football team.

Walsh was playing fullback, which, in the Trojans’ option attack, meant he was carrying the ball a lot.

As much as that workload and attention was nice, Walsh knew he might be called up to the varsity in a more limited role at any time. He would welcome the call whenever it came.

“We really wanted to keep him at the sophomore level so he could play fullback,” Trojans varsity coach Brad Seaburg said. “But Collin said, ‘I’m willing to come up if you want me,’ in Week 3 and Week 4. I wanted Collin to get the reps.”

By Week 7, driving toward a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division championship, Seaburg felt it was time. Walsh, who by FVC rules could not play in both sophomore and varsity games, lost his job as sophomore fullback for the job as kicker on a potential state championship team.

“They called me up [to play against] Jacobs because it was a big game,” Walsh said. “They wanted to play their best. The atmosphere’s great up here

with the varsity, but I miss playing with my friends.”

The Trojans’ varsity and sophomore teams won FVC Valley titles, and now the varsity is 13-0 heading into Saturday’s 4 p.m. Class 7A state championship game against Providence (12-1).

Walsh was pressed into service as kicker in his freshman year when senior running back Joe Collin Walsh Scott, who also kicked, suffered a broken leg.

He hit 3 of 3 field goals and 28 of 32 extra points. This season he also is 3 of 3 on field goals and has made 50 of 54 extra points.

In the first two games this season, Walsh played fullback for the sophomores, then stayed out on the field and kicked for the varsity. But against FVC opponents, he could only play one or the other, so quarterback Jason Gregoire took over kicking duties for four games.

Seaburg knew the Trojans would get Walsh back for the playoffs but made the move earlier so Walsch could get some game-situation kicks in before the postseason.

“I didn’t know how long it was at first, but after Jacobs they told me I

wasn’t going back down,” Walsh said. “It helps me a lot, preparing for the future just in case I can get a scholarship. I played soccer for seven years, so kicking is pretty natural for me.”

Walsh hasn’t had any real pressure kicks because the Trojans have been so far ahead in every game, but Seaburg knows he can count on the 5-foot-6, 155-pound sophomore.

“The biggest thing we saw last year was his ability to kick a football,” Seaburg said. “We were hurting for guys who could kick, and Collin (as a freshman) was more than just an adequate kicker, he was a good kicker. We put him in some pretty pressure situations last year.”

Walsh kicked two field goals for the only points in C-G’s 6-0 win at Prairie Ridge last season. Next season, Walsh will kick and play another position for the varsity, although Seaburg is not sure where.

“A lot of it will depend on this offseason,” Seaburg said. “He’s a very tough player, he plays hard and physical. Those kinds of kids, there’s a spot for them. As long as he continues to get stronger, we’ll get a spot for him. We feel like if you can play fullback in our program, there’s somewhere we can find a spot for him.”

The Northwest Herald continues a tradition when a local football team is playing for a state championship with daily journals from players on the team. Some Cary-Grove players have shared their thoughts each day leading up to Saturday’s Class 7A title game at 4 p.m. in Champaign against Providence. Today: Running back-defensive back Matt Sutherland.

The dream of being in the state championship started in 2004, watching the first CaryGrove team making it downstate when I was 8 years old.

After the loss to Libertyville, my dad, defensive coordinator Don Sutherland, lifted me onto the field and let my brother and me run around.

After about 10 minutes, my dad took us to the locker room where I saw all of the emotions on the players’ faces. I never wanted to feel the way they just had experienced.

When we got back to our hotel, I remember saying to my dad, “When I play for you, we are going to win a championship.”

Flash forward to 2012, where I got to be a part of the Class 6A state runner-up team as a sophomore. During that season, I remember telling my dad that we’re having a great season and I hope we do well in the playoffs.

He came up to me after we beat Lake Forest and said, “How about playing for a state championship?” It was quite an honor to play with my teammates against the future Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year in Laquon Treadwell from CreteMonee.

Even though we lost that

CARY-GROVE PLAYER JOURNAL Matt Sutherland game, that’s when I truly learned what it means to be a Cary-Grove football player.

Playing with those seniors in their last game, I could see that they had no regrets. They gave their all for each other every down and every second of that game. That entire season, those seniors played every game like it was their last game playing together.

Now, two years later, my senior year finally arrives.

I have been dreaming and working toward the opportunity to play on a state championship team, and now I have one last shot. The best part about this journey is that I have shared it with my best friends for the past 10 years.

From playing pick-up football games on the weekends (games still occur), through Junior Trojan football, and all the way to these final practices in 2 inches of snow and ice, we have shared the same goal.

This season has meant more to me than just making it back to the championship. I played with my best friends in the world for one last season. I played in front of the greatest fan base in the world. I played for the best community and alumni that anybody could ask for, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

On Saturday it all comes to an end as we play Providence for the Class 7A title. Win or lose, I know I can definitely say that I have had no regrets.

I get one last game with the my best friends.

Now, let’s finish this right.

Cary-Grove and Providence have breezed through the Class 7A playoffs and will provide football fans around the state with the state championship game they have been craving all season.

Stevenson: I have been saying since the end of last season that Cary-Grove could win a state title this year. I love when one of our teams makes me look like I know what I’m talking about, although I really wasn’t going out on a limb because the Trojans had 17 starters coming back and a

terrific offensive line. Did you have similar thoughts about Providence coming into this season?

Goss: Yes, Joe, I did, and I took it a step further. From the time I saw Providence beat Joliet Catholic, 21-10, in the season opener, whip Minooka in Week 2 and take care of Mount Carmel in Week 3, I said these Celtics could be the best team in the state regardless of class.

Their passing offense, for most of the season, has been unstoppable, and their defense has been outstanding, as well. I’ve seen many great Providence teams through the years – the Celtics are shooting for their 10th state title – yet this team is different. The offensive line isn’t as big as some in the past, and this group doesn’t pound

TAKE 2 Dick Goss and Joe Stevenson face off the ball as much. But wait until you see this passing game in action.

Stevenson: I’ve heard they can really throw it. Quarterback Justin Hunniford and receiver Miles Boykin are all-staters, and two other receivers have more than 30 catches. C-G’s defensive backs are good and really fast, but two guys at 6-foot-4 and 6-5 can pose some problems. Boykin injured a finger though. How is that affecting him?

Goss: I talked to Boykin

this week, and he said he’s fine. He had surgery on his left pinkie finger after dislocating it in the 34-3 Round 2 victory at St Rita. He missed the 23-6 quarterfinal win over Wheaton Warrenville South, and the Celtics’ offense was not as sharp as usual. Part of that was his absence, but a bigger factor was how good the Tigers’ defense was. I anticipate Boykin being targeted quite a bit Saturday, but Hunniford has been a master at spreading the ball around, getting every-

one involved. I know CaryGrove’s secondary is athletic and has intercepted quite a few passes, but Hunniford has thrown only three interceptions, two against Wheaton Warrenville South. Will CaryGrove have an answer for Providence’s passing game?

Stevenson: That seems to be the big question. The Trojans are going to have to do something to disrupt the Celtics’ timing with their pass rush or something. The other question is how Providence can deal with C-G’s option offense, which no one has stopped yet.

You said the Celtics’ defense is good, and they just saw an option team last week with Mount Carmel, right?

Goss: They sure did, Joe, and they shut it down pretty

well again. I’m happy for you that your boys from CaryGrove made you look good this season, but I thought I better offer my apologies now, in case I forget later. Sorry the Celtics had to spoil things for you in the championship game.

Stevenson: I’m not willing to concede this one as a C-G loss just yet. I see the Trojans as the underdog, but they lost to Crete-Monee two years ago, and their all-state linemen Michael Gomez and Trevor Ruhland were starters on that team. They gave passionate, fiery speeches to the team after the semifinal win, about how just getting there wasn’t enough and how badly they felt after losing. They don’t want to feel that way again.

Ruhland turns serious when game starts Football playoffs watered down • RUHLAND Continued from Prep 1 to play pranks, although he only laughs when asked, “like what?”

Gomez mentions Ruhland likes to call fellow lineman Ross Bernier “frosty,” and in general, he’s the one to keep spirits up.

“I think that’s one of the good things about our team is leadershipwise, we’re always joking,” Gomez said. “We’re always having a good time. But at the same time, when it becomes football time, I’ve never seen a more competitive kid. He goes and gets it.

He’s an animal.”

This is who he is, headlining an offensive line that has paved the way for the run game – the quartet of Gregoire, Tyler Pennington, Matt Sutherland and Kevin Hughes has combined for 3,308 yards and 54 touchdowns.

“You’re supposed to be a gentleman off the field and fun to be around,” Ruhland said. “But then once you’re on the field, you’re supposed to be an animal. I kind of take it like that.”

This season Ruhland also has seen an increased role at defensive tackle, and when he lines up on that side of the ball Saturday against Providence, he’ll be opposite Miles Boykin, a

talented 6-foot-4 receiver who also is committed to Notre Dame. They are among three in the Chicago area who will wear the gold helmets on Saturdays, along with Bolingbrook defensive end Micah Dew-Treadway.

“He’s a real good guy, and I’m excited to be teammates with him,” Ruhland said, referring to the matchup against Boykin. “But this Saturday, we’re going against each other, and it’s not like I’m going to go easy on him or anything.”

That’s Ruhland, they say. He’ll shake your hand, crack a few jokes and share some laughs. But when the pads are on, he’s still going to run you over.
