Cary-Grove’s legacy will be as winners despite loss VIEWS Joey Kaufman CHAMPAIGN – This time, there was no long line of high fives waiting for a giddy Cary-Grove football team. There was just one long solemn march to the south end of Memorial Stadium. Tears streaked down the Trojans’ cheeks. Heads sank. Seniors Jason Gregoire and Willie Hartke wrapped their arms around one another as if to will themselves toward the stage to receive the second place trophy. Fans tried to console them. “Great season, boys,” yelled one. It was, and yet it ended like a season does for nearly every high school playoff team across Illinois, with a loss and with teenage boys crying. In the Class 7A champi-

onship game on a cool Saturday night, Cary-Grove fell to Providence, 31-28. The loss marked the lone blemish for the Trojans (13-1) this season. It prevented them from securing what would have been the school’s second state title. It should

hardly, though, spoil an otherwise banner run. Asked afterward how history will view the 2014 Trojans, coach Brad Seaburg didn’t hesitate to offer a response. “A very dominant group that played a great team in the state

championship game and just came up a little short,” he said. “But was a source of pride for a lot of people in our community. Were great role models for our younger guys. It was a great, great season.” He’s right. Try this. Before Saturday, Providence had given up 38 points in four playoff games (14 of them coming in garbage time in the semifinals against Mt. Carmel). And coming out of the Blue Division of the Chicago Catholic League, the Celtics were, of course, battle tested, led by a smart quarterback in Justin Hunniford and an offense littered with Division I talent. Still, Cary-Grove, using that little ole triple option offense, went out and put up 28 points, running the ball 62 times and amassing 343 yards of total offense, nearly equaling Providence’s total of 346. On the big stage, under the lights, the Trojans went toe-to-toe

CHAMPAIGN – Since video gambling began in Illinois two years ago, the slot-like terminals have been showing up in places lawmakers never imagined – floral shops, laundromats, liquor stores and gas stations. They’re also now the main attraction at dozens of storefront bistros and cafes geared toward women. Video gambling has become a big business for the state, but it’s also raised some second thoughts in the process. Since the first terminal was turned on in 2012, it has generated $210.8 million in tax revenue for the cashRead more strapped state govMarengo ernment officials hear and $42.2 backlash on million for local gov- proposed video e r n m e n t s gaming expansion o n m o r e at gas stations. than $3 bil- PAGE A3 lion in wagered cash, according to the Illinois Gaming Board. The terminals also have meant significant money for businesses, such as the Arabian Knights Farms and Training Center, an equestrian center in Willowbrook, southwest of Chicago. The horse barn makes most of its money on weddings and parties for income, some of which can be seasonal, owner Michael Vena said. “There’s no money in horses. ... In the middle of winter, this will help,” Vena said, talking about the three gambling terminals tucked into a red-carpeted, plywood-walled room in his barn. They bring him $1,750 a month in profit. One of the sponsors of the video-gambling bill when it was approved in Springfield in 2009 says the spread of the machines into some of these places isn’t what he had in mind. “It was never our intention to turn florists’ shops into places for gambling,” said Rep. Lou Lang, a Skokie Democrat. “And so, it’s something that needs to be looked at, for sure.” The intent was to legalize and regulate a business already operating illegally in many bars and social clubs. Under the law, the key requirement is a liquor license, with each license-holder eligible for three to five machines.

@NWHerald

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down these bleachers I’m not a big fan of “character education” or any other fad that schools jump at if it means having to spend less time teaching kids to read, write and add. But I’m much less of a fan of lousy neighbors, so I’ll make an exception in the case of the District 155 School Board and its decision to build the Colosseum at the Crystal Lake South High School stadium. The school board needs some character, and they need it badly. First, some background. The school board decided in May 2013 to more than triple the size of its bleachers at a $1.18 million cost, without one tinker’s cuss given about the neighbors. The bleachers now are a gigantic eyesore that are too tall and too close to their lot lines. And that much larger footprint now gives football fans who happen to be peeping toms an opportunity for a show whether they’re watching the game or watching the neighbors through their windows. A number of the neighbors filed suit, and city government demanded the school board go through its planning and zoning process, citing the numerous violations of city ordinance. The school district’s argument that its rights supersede municipal law has been rejected by both the circuit

VIEWS Kevin Craver and appellate courts. An order to tear down the bleachers has been stayed as the school board appeals to the Illinois Supreme Court. In the end, I’m forced to wonder whether the legal fees blown by the school district will exceed the costs to build the bleachers in the first place. All of this over football. Let’s dispense with any bull flop about hosting bigger graduation ceremonies, community events or other hokum. This is about football and Friday Night Lights. Period. This is about a school board playing the role of the jerk neighbor – which we see all too much of in this nation of “me, me, me” – who thinks that his rights trump everybody else’s. This is not about people who bought homes next to a high school and then one day decided they didn’t like the noise. So let’s get back to character education. I’m most familiar with the national Character Counts! program. It’s geared toward K-through-8 classrooms, but seeing as how the high school board is acting like a bunch of petulant children, a program aimed

at the kiddies is sweet and appropriate. Character Counts! has six pillars: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. One glance at the bullet points that come with each pillar – build a good reputation, follow the Golden Rule, think before you act and consider the consequences, play by the rules, etc. – shows Samson couldn’t have done a better job knocking them down than the school board. But all hope is not lost for the board. There’s a bullet point under the pillar of trustworthiness that tells kids to “have the courage to do the right thing.” The board should have done the right thing years ago, but it’s not too late. Drop the Supreme Court appeal, tear the bleachers down and work with the city of Crystal Lake to put up new ones. And give those neighbors a say. Another of the bullet points under trustworthiness is to “build a good reputation,” and that would be a start. The school board more likely than not still could get larger bleachers by working with the city. Or here’s an idea – maybe just keep them simple and instead, I don’t know, spend more on, say, education? That thing we pay taxes for the school to do when

the Crystal Lake South Gators aren’t on the field? The millions we will inevitably pour down the sewer of government waste over this debacle could have bought a lot of textbooks and tablets. Listen, folks, I love football. I spent six wonderful years attending games and killing brain cells as part of the Northern Illinois University Huskie Marching Band under the command of one Frank V. Bibb of Topeka, Kansas, You-nited States of ‘Murica. Next to the guys I served with in the military, my bandmates were the most dedicated bunch of degenerates I ever had the privilege to know. But at the end of the day, football’s only a game. It’s not why you fork over thousands of dollars a year in property taxes. The School District 155 Board has to re-examine its priorities. Because there’s a place that provides a raw and stark reminder of what happens when your priorities get out of whack over sports. It’s called Penn State.

LOCAL BRIEFS Smoke detector saves woman’s life An Oakwood Hills woman escaped her home around 2 a.m. Saturday when a smoke detector alerted her to a fire. Alice Costello reported a fire in her kitchen at 2:06 a.m. Saturday at her home on 8 Lake Shore Drive in Oakwood Hills, according to a news release from the Cary Fire Protection District. Costello was awoken by a smoke detector, found her house filled with smoke and saw flames in her kitchen, according to the release. Costello called 911 and left her home. She was the only person in the house at the time and was treated for smoke inhalation, according to the release. No firefighters were injured. A damage estimate was not available Saturday morning, but the fire was determined to have started because of a warm mist humidifier that was running in the kitchen. The rest of the house had smoke damage, making it uninhabitable. Fire crews from Algonquin-Lake in the Hills, Barrington, Barrington-Countryside, Fox River Grove and Nunda Rural also responded to the scene.

Gaming expansion on pause Marengo officials hear backlash on idea to add gambling at gas stations By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Aldermen will have more time to digest a proposal that would allow Marengo gas stations to operate video gaming machines, as some City Council members already have heard negative feedback on the idea. A crowded December meeting agenda means the council likely will vote on the potential gambling expansion in January. The delay allows alder-

men time to think about the proposal, after they were divided during an initial discussion on the issue earlier this month. Mayor Don Lockhart and Alderman Matt Keenum, who said he opposes the idea, have heard negative opinions about it from constituents. “I’m hearing a lot of people against it,” Lockhart said. “I’ll be frank.” Aldermen started debating the idea of allowing gas stations to have video gaming machines after the owners

of the Shell station at 302 E. Grant Highway approached the city about it. The proposal would allow the Shell and other businesses that sell packaged liquors to be able to pour alcohol and serve customers on location. The change consequently would make the businesses eligible for video gaming licenses with the Illinois Gaming Board. City staff members so far haven’t drafted an ordinance for the council because the Marengo police department

needed more time to research how other communities have handled the unconventional video gaming idea. Across the state, many convenience stores and gas stations that traditionally sell packaged liquors have been awarded gaming licenses as part of the truck stop criteria set by the state. The state has granted licenses to the Quick Mart in Union, a Shell station in East Dundee and the Grove Mart gas station in Lake in the Hills, according to Illinois

Gaming Board data. During a meeting this week, Keenum wanted aldermen to take another informal poll on the idea to see whether staff should even pursue a draft ordinance. But members couldn’t do it because the item wasn’t listed on their posted agenda. Keenum, though, reiterated his opposition. “Our job, among other things, is to cast a vision,” he said. “It’s my opinion that’s not the way we want to see Marengo grow.”

Obtaining a loan requires Algonquin to complete a project plan and other loan documents, in addition to designing the projects. “The project plan summarizes the improvement plans, provides cost estimates for the proposed improvements, evaluates the environmental

impacts of the improvements, and provides a general financial impact analysis for the improvements,” Warmus wrote. The village has contracted to pay Engineering Enterprises Inc. about $234,000 to design the proposed improvements, complete the project plan and other loan paperwork, and perform construction observation. Doing this work would help answer questions as to

the level of money needed and financing needed for the projects. “Considerations for financial support and subsequent increases will be accomplished in a planned water and sewer rate study to take place in fiscal year 2016 as the next logical step in planning,” Warmus wrote.

McHenry Public Library adds solar panels to roof By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com McHENRY – James Scholtz has helped re-energize the McHenry Public Library. One of the longtime dreams of the library’s executive director recently became a reality as a 10-kilowatt solar panel structure went live and could produce as much as 10 percent of the facility’s energy. The $54,000 project had

been budgeted by Scholtz and library leadership for years. “When we did the remodeling project back in 2009, we talked about solar panels but the technology just wasn’t there,” Scholtz said. “We always knew we wanted to make it as green of an environment as we could and do our due diligence to reduce our energy use.” While the panels will be inaccessible for public tours because of their location on

the roof, Scholtz said there will be a station in the library where visitors can monitor the energy the panels are producing and view them on a screen thanks to a mounted camera on the roof. The monitoring information will show how much energy the panels are producing and how much carbon dioxide is avoided because of the source. Scholtz said he hopes to have that feature running next month while the camera

BLOOD DRIVES

could be installed in March. Solar panels are the beginning of the green efforts, Scholtz said. He hopes to expand that feature to a 20-kilowatt system eventually and add wind power to the facility so there can be green energy year-round. Scholtz said he plans on presenting a wind power option that could mirror the alternative turbines installed on the roof of a Rockford Christian High School building.

“We want to produce at least half our own energy,” Scholtz said. Scholtz said he has also had discussions with people at the Shah Center about hosting green energy seminars to let people know what the library is doing, how it works and why it is important. The Shah Center installed a 90-kilowatt solar panel structure at its McHenry facility. Because the Shah Center

received a grant for its solar panel structure, Scholtz said it was able to install and implement much more public outreach and interactive tools. And though he is passionate about showing the people the benefits of green energy, he said there is a balance. “I do not want to spend the money we save from green energy showing the public that we saved money,” Scholtz said.

CARY

Affordable senior housing development talks a while away By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – Discussion and consideration of a potential affordable senior housing independent living development behind the Jewel-Osco in Cary is still a while away, a village official said. There has not been a closure on the purchase price between the seller and potential buyer of the 3.9-acre lot along Three Oaks Road,

Village Administrator Chris Clark said. A memo to Village Board members earlier in November indicated Ohio-based Pirhl development was interested in the vacant lot. Village officials in their memo had said Pirhl has submitted a letter of intent to purchase the property and they believe they will have the property under contract within the next few weeks. “It may be down the

road further than initially briefed,” Clark said. Clark added there’s no agreement in place and no one has come in to petition for zoning changes on the property. “We’re sitting here waiting as well,” Clark said. Pirhl is looking into building a 66-unit senior housing development that would be two to three stories tall. According to the village

memo, a project funding source would be Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and the independent living development would be restricted to people age 55 and older. Pirhl representatives described a recent meeting with Cary officials – including Clark, Village President Mark Kownick and outgoing Community Development Director Chris Stilling – as a first visit.

The property is listed for $899,000 and in recent months the asking price had been dropped from $1.4 million. The area is zoned for commercial use. The real estate listing says the property has sewer and water connections available and is ideal for a hotel or senior housing. The village’s comprehensive plan calls for commercial development on the site.

• Winter Wonders for Homeschool Families: 1 to 3 p.m. Dec. 17 at Marengo Ridge Conservation Area, 2411 N. Route 23, Marengo. Children ages 7 years and older will hike, play games and find out how animals survive winter in McHenry County. The entire program will be outdoors. The program is free for county residents and $5 for nonresidents. Children should be accompanied by an adult. The deadline to register is Dec. 13. • Solstice Night Hike: 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Dec. 19 at Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road, Crystal Lake. A candlelight night hike, ending at a warm campfire, will be used to mark the winter solstice, the longest, darkest night in the northern hemisphere. Attendees are asked not to bring flashlights; candles and the stars will guide the way. The hike may be accompanied by a simultaneous Candlelight Ski program if weather allows. The program is free for county residents and $2 for nonresidents. The deadline to register is Dec. 15.

• An Afternoon with the Short-Eared Owls: 3:30 to 5 p.m. Dec. 20 at Lost Valley Visitor Center in Glacial Park, Route 31 and Harts Road, Ringwood. The shorteared owl is an Illinois endangered species that makes Glacial Park its home every winter. Adults and families with ages children 8 and up will go out on a winter hike at dusk to search for the owls. Attendees should bring binoculars if they have them. The program will start indoors for a short presentation. The program is free for county residents and $2 for nonresidents. The deadline to register is Dec. 16. For information about these and other programs, visit the McHenry County Conservation District’s website at www.MCCDistrict. org. A sign-up for the district’s seasonal magazine “Landscapes” also is available there. Program registration can be completed online; by mail-in and drop-off at Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road in Crystal Lake; drop-off only at Lost Valley Visitor Center, Route 31 and Harts Road in Ringwood; or, for free programs only, by phone at 815-4795779.

Continued from page A1

CRYSTAL LAKE – The First Congregational Church’s 2014 Christmas cantata, “Silent Night,” will be performed at 9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. services Dec. 7 at 461 Pierson St. The production will feature a 20-member cast and the second- through eighth-grade Cherub, Carol and Chancel Choirs.

“The liquor distinction was something we put in there to keep some control over the amount [of terminals],” Lang said. As of October, there were 18,669 terminals scattered across 4,570 businesses, according to the Gaming Board, with several hundred being added every month. Among them are a scuba shop and laundromat in Winnebago County’s Loves Park, a florist in Oak Lawn outside Chicago and a Champaign apartment complex, among others. Blackhawk Restaurant Group is one of several companies that have opened chains of storefront gambling businesses that also sell food and drinks. They operate under names like Betty’s Bistro, Penny’s, Emma’s and Jena’s, and promote their “higher-end demographic segment” and “aspirational experience.” A company official declined to talk, but according to its website, Blackhawk has 43 locations in the Chicago suburbs and nine others open or planned in the Champaign area, Peoria and elsewhere. Four of the Blackhawk outlets are in Elk Grove Village, where Mayor Craig Johnson said they are the leading revenue generators among the town’s 16 businesses with video gambling terminals. “They gear their businesses toward women between the ages of 35 and 65, and they tell you that,” Johnson said.

Cary-Grove bound to produce more talent • LEGACY Continued from page A1 with the suburban Catholic powerhouse, which won its fourth state title since the turn of the century. They lined up as they had all season, pounded the ball and dared Providence to stop them. It nearly worked. They proved that. “I feel like a lot of people think they know the answers of how to stop this,” senior left tackle Trevor Ruhland said of the offense. “Like, if you take away certain things, it’s not going to work. We always have counters off everything. And we probably ran the same play 60 times. I mean, it was just a matter of stopping it. Cary-Grove’s always going to be option. I don’t know if we’ll ever be a spread team like everyone is leaning to now. “We’re downhill. We’re physical football. That’s just how we grew up playing.” Maybe that physical, run-heavy style isn’t suited for winning state championships. Not enough balance, one could argue. After all, C-G has made four trips downstate since 2004, and has come away with just one state title. But maybe that’s an argument for another day.

Here’s what’s become plainly evident. As much as Saturday’s loss stings for the Trojans and their fans, the program has cemented itself as a modern day high school football powerhouse. It’s become too consistent to be denied of that claim. Over the past three years, with Ruhland and senior left guard Michael Gomez on the offensive line, Cary-Grove went 33-6, won two Fox Valley Conference Valley Division titles and made two trips to the state title game. This was a group of seniors that was about as good as the school has ever seen. “They’d be the first ones I’d put in a foxhole with,” Seaburg said. “Because they’re solid kids. They battle. They’re tough. And what else can you ask for as a coach?” The thing about CaryGrove, is that it’s bound to produce another talented class, another class that battles, that works every bit as hard. The program is rolling, still. Just maybe next time it’ll be rewarded. Consistency usually does.

Christmas Open House

hurdles to other operations that officials feared would become “mini-casinos,” – requiring food service and setting a minimum business size. “It couldn’t be like a 500 square-foot storefront and a guy would hand you a can of beer,” the mayor said. Elected officials in other towns are becoming uneasy about video gambling’s growth. Peoria enacted a temporary moratorium on new gambling locations over concerns that some may offer little but gambling. The City Council recently rejected several measures that would have permanently restricted further expansion, but Councilwoman Beth Akeson hopes for some kind of limit. “We have what we have, but I would not like to see any more,” she said. The state’s casino industry also is concerned that the growth of video gambling isn’t generating new gamblers but turning the casinos’ customers into their own. A report by the state Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability found that in the fiscal year that ended in June, eight of the state’s 10 casinos had revenue drops of at least 9 percent. It concluded that new gambling businesses were siphoning off casino customers. “If our revenues and admissions are dropping because of video gaming parlors, the taxes we’re paying are going to start decreasing,” said Tom Swoik, the Illinois Casino Gaming Association’s executive director.

SKETCH VIEW

Election will make chair accountable When it was up to voters to decide whether the chairman on the McHenry County Board should be popularly elected, we supported the effort. Soon-to-be-County-Board-member Andrew Gasser helped illustrate why. “This is political prostitution,” Gasser, of Fox River Grove, said. “It’s a swap meet. It’s horrible.” Gasser was referring to all the For the record politicking that had begun from When County Board memCounty Board bers choose their own leader, members interest- nobody is held accountable. ed in the chairmanship. Gasser said he was sick of all the phone calls and promises of position in exchange for support. While he publicly opposed making the office popularly elected, he said he is starting to come around as a result of his exposure to the process. Gasser will be sworn in Monday. It also is the day that members of the County Board will choose its own leader for the last time. In 2016, voters will decide who will be the County Board chairman. That’s a good thing. When County Board members choose their own leader, nobody is held accountable. The chairman answers to the board and, maybe, voters in his or her district, when selected from within. When voters choose the chairman, that person is accountable to all. It also takes away the wheeling and dealing Gasser described happening behind the scenes in exchange for votes because the chairman assigns the chairmanships and the vice chairmanships of the board’s 11 standing committees. Those chairpeople run the meetings and have the power to decide the meeting agendas, meaning they have latitude in deciding what gets discussed and acted on and what does not. It’s a process we have to stomach only one more time, voters. In two years, accountability comes to the McHenry County Board chairman’s role.

ANOTHER VIEW

Voucher troubles Wisconsin state leaders are going to spend more public money on private schools next year. That much is clear. The real question is whether Republicans who run the statehouse will ensure those dollars are spent wisely. Wisconsin’s voucher school program needs more accountability, based on objective measures of success. As sensible state Sen. Luther Olsen, R-Ripon, has advocated: “If you get a check, you get a checkup.” Taxpayers deserve nothing less. So when Republicans lift or even eliminate a cap on voucher school enrollment in the next state budget, they should require voucher students to take the same state test that public school students already do. Gov. Scott Walker and the Legislature also should set clear consequences for low performance. Public money for private school vouchers should be pulled if evidence shows bad results and no improvement. Some voucher advocates want a big expansion in the next state budget, which would require tens of millions of additional dollars. Not so fast. Equal and transparent assessments of vouchers schools and students are needed first, for comparison with the public school system. Private schools that want more taxpayer money need to earn more public confidence and support. A private school voucher costs less than Wisconsin’s average per-pupil expense in public schools. In that sense, they potentially save money. But other factors suggest vouchers pull money from public schools. When a traditional school district, for example, loses a handful of students to the voucher program, those dollars that follow those children aren’t easy to make up in savings. A small district still may need the same number of teachers and facilities, even though its state aid falls by tens of thousands of dollars, based on lower enrollment spread across several grades. The bigger problem, though, is that most of the new vouchers are going to students who were already attending private schools. That’s because state leaders have raised income limits on participating families, many of whom could already afford private school. The statewide expansion should have been restricted to new students. Ultimately, what matters most is how well Wisconsin is educating its young people. Allowing different models of education is wise. Not every child learns the same way. And competition can encourage innovation. Yet gauging success requires clear and comparable information. That’s what the Legislature’s voucher accountability bill must provide. Wisconsin State Journal

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Thank God for America To the Editor: Election night results were good news. President Obama’s degradation of American values and principles were repudiated – good news to all optimists like me. The Republicans have been able to take control of the Senate away from the Democrats. While only one-third of the eligible voters voted, Republicans got seven seats. They needed six. There still are two seats waiting for runoffs. Even though the Republicans control both houses, there is a tremendous problem to get America back where it was when it was considered the greatest nation the world had ever known. The Republicans are a long way from being the statesmen who built America. And we have the farthest left president we have ever had who is in his second term. The president said he would transform America, and so far he seems to be doing it. We are experiencing the slowest and longest recovery from a recession since the Great Depression. We have the greatest debt, the most indebtedness and the worst foreign relations we have ever had. There are more people in the poor category; one of every six families has someone receiving government help. I understand that a fifth of Americans are receiving

food stamps. There are more than a half million American children who have never been born because of the legalization of abortion. These and many other departures from the original American traditions cry out for a return to the Christian policies that made America great. See next month for a solution.

Start a new family tradition To the Editor: Want a recipe for a happy holiday? I will share a tradition our family has embraced to make it an enjoyable experience for all. We decided to go to a family grab bag and get gifts for one person only. It is acceptable to ask the person drawn to indicate what they would like as a gift. When asked, my answer is always the same. Because I have four grandsons and one princess, I tell the parents that they must take my grandchildren to a grocery store and let them select the food for the cart. The money spent will be equivalent to what they would have spent on me. Payment is made by handing the cash, no credit cards, to the child, hopefully with some of their allowance included. They hand it to the cashier. The entire family will then take the goods to a food pantry for

distribution to those in need. As a parent and primary teacher, you have just taught your child the concept of helping others, working together as a family and how money can be used to help people. Then it’s off for a family snack to discuss the day’s activities. Like the idea? Start your own family day tradition. Share it with a friend. Take this idea to work and post it and have an enjoyable holiday this year. Thank you. Dan Malecki Crystal Lake

Congrats, young hunter To the Editor: I am writing about the Northwest Herald article and picture of the 10-point buck shot by Hailey Schwarz of Wonder Lake that ran Nov. 20. I say to her, “Hailey, congratulations on an excellent shot. If you did it by bow and arrow, you’re extremely skilled. The American In-

dians started training (mostly boys, but some girls – Seneca, I believe) by 7 or 8 years old. If you did it by shotgun – you’re skilled like Annie Oakley.” The ancient ways of the Yukon of Siberia, American Indians, the Magyars and Huns was so skilled and precise, including the ancient ways of skinning, tanning, preparing doeskin, buckskin, etc., and the butchering of the deer skins for the meat and teepees (Chanty Magyars had teepees, too.) The sinew of the buffalo, deer, etc., were used for preparing the long process of bow string making. The ancient ways make us very wise in hunting, tracking and knowing the wilderness. My ancestors were the ancient Magyars, first and original natives of Hungary and Hungarians, and I am a fan of Davy Crockett. Christine Spielman Wonder Lake

Better to have an attitude of gratitude If Thomas Jefferson could be faulted for one thing in composing the Declaration of Independence, it might be his inclusion of the words “the pursuit of happiness” in the text. Happiness is a vapor that cannot be grasped; a temporary feeling based on transitory circumstances akin to the euphoria of a full-on sugar rush. Happiness is good for a time, but it cannot last. Life invariably intervenes. So many seem so unthankful about so much these days. Turn on the TV or read a newspaper and you will find complainers. Democrats complain about Republicans and the reverse. The poor complain about the rich, and the rich complain they are being taxed too much. Citizens complain about illegal immigrants. Whites complain about people of color and people of color complain right back. This week in Ferguson, Missouri, we saw lots of people complaining about the police and alleged injustice while storeowners whose businesses were destroyed legitimately

VIEWS Cal Thomas complained about the rioters. There’s an old Southern gospel song whose title other writers have used with different lyrics, but the one I like best is the one that encourages people to “have an attitude of gratitude.” At Thanksgiving, those of us who believe in God thank Him for His many blessings. These include food to eat, clothes to wear, a roof over our heads, good health for those fortunate enough to have it and good doctors for those who don’t, a job for those who have one and the chance to find employment for those who don’t (and unemployment insurance to bridge the gap between jobs). We aren’t grateful enough for what we have. Instead of complaining about what we don’t have, try thanking someone for what you do have. Thank a soldier for your freedom, even the freedom to complain about your political

leaders without fear of being arrested, as is the case in many countries. Find something good to say about another person, and thank them for it. Thank your parents, if they are living, no matter how bad your upbringing may have been. They gave you the gift of life; what you make of it is up to you. Oprah Winfrey sometimes comes up with something worth quoting. I found this gem through a Google search: “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” Have you noticed in the past several years how public storage units have sprung up all over the country? Think about this: In our very large houses, we don’t have enough room to store all of the stuff we’ve accumulated, so we rent other places to put it. Advertisers say acquiring stuff will make us happy. Obviously not, or we would be happy most of the time because most of us have more stuff than our parents and certainly our grandparents ever had, or ever needed.

Previous generations may not have had a lot of material things, but they had something we appear to lack – contentment. To be content is better than being happy. Contentment is akin to satisfaction. Maybe the reason Mick Jagger couldn’t get any satisfaction was because he was looking for it in the wrong place. Author A.J. Jacobs says, “I’ve started to look at life differently. When you’re thanking God for every little joy – every meal, every time you wake up, every time you take a sip of water – you can’t help but be more thankful for life itself, for the unlikely and miraculous fact that you exist at all.” Mr. Jacobs has an attitude of gratitude. Try it and see what difference it makes in you and in others. If you do, you might have a happy – strike that – a contented Thanksgiving.

STATE BRIEFS Rantoul police will start using body cameras RANTOUL – Police in central Illinois’ Rantoul are joining the growing number of law enforcers using body cameras – a technology that’s been gaining traction since the recent shooting death of a black 18-year-old by a suburban St. Louis officer who was not wearing one. Rantoul’s police department got a large, anonymous donation in 2011 for the research and purchase of the cameras, the Champaign News-Gazette reported Saturday. Rantoul police Lt. Jeff Wooten said the cameras, consisting of a digital video recorder and a battery pack that allows for 10 hours of recording time, would be used to phase out dashboard cameras in the village’s police cars.

Former high school QB files head injury lawsuit By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – A former high school quarterback followed in the steps of one-time pro and college players Saturday by suing a sports governing body – in this case the Illinois High School Association – saying it didn’t do enough to protect him from concussions when he played and still

doesn’t do enough to protect current players. The lawsuit, filed in Cook County Circuit Cook on the same day Illinois wrapped up its last high school football championship games, is among the first instances in which legal action has been taken for former high school football players as a whole against a group responsible for overseeing prep sports in

a state. The lead plaintiff in the lawsuit is Daniel Bukal, a star quarterback at Notre Dame College Prep in Niles from 1999 to 2003. He received multiple concussions playing at the suburban Chicago school and, a decade on, still suffers frequent migraines and has experienced notable memory loss, according to the 51-page suit. Bukal didn’t play beyond

high school. The IHSA did not have concussion protocols in place, putting Bukal and other high school players at risk, and those protocols remain deficient, the lawsuit alleges. It calls on the Bloomington-based IHSA to tighten its rules and regulations regarding head injuries at the 800 high schools it oversees. It does not seek specific monetary damages.

“In Illinois high school football, responsibility – and, ultimately, fault – for the historically poor management of concussions begins with the IHSA,” the lawsuit states. It calls high school concussions “an epidemic” and says the “most important battle being waged on high school football fields ... is the battle for the health and lives of” young players.

Rockford teachers get CPR training ROCKFORD – Teachers in northern Illinois are receiving potentially lifesaving training they’ll pass on to students. The Rockford Register Star reports middle- and high-school teachers are learning what to do when someone goes into cardiac arrest. That includes CPR. How to use defibrillator equipment is also taught. Teachers will then teach their students. Illinois law requires such training for secondary school students. That law was adopted after 17-year-old Lauren Laman of St. Charles died in 2008 from cardiac arrest at school. Rockford School District sixth-graders will get introductory training. Older students will get more advanced training. The SwedishAmerican Foundation has granted tens of thousands of dollars to help pay for training. A SwedishAmerican manager, Tom Pratt, said the more people who are trained, “the more lifesavers” in the community.

NATION&WORLD SUNDAY Ferguson officer who shot Michael Brown resigns By ALAN SCHER ZAGIER The Associated Press FERGUSON, Mo. – The Ferguson police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown has resigned, his attorney said Saturday, nearly four months after the confrontation between the white officer and unarmed black 18-year-old that ignited protests in the St. Louis suburb and across the nation. Darren Wilson, who has been on administrative leave since the Aug. 9 shooting, resigned effective immediately, said his attorney, Neil Bruntrager. He declined further immediate comment. The Brown family attorney, Benjamin Crump, didn’t immediately return phone and email messages from The Associated Press. Wilson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he was stepping down out of his “own free will” after the police department told him it had received threats of violence if he remained an employee. “I’m not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me,” he told the newspaper. A grand jury spent more than three months reviewing evidence before announcing Monday that it wouldn’t indict Wilson, who had testified that he feared for his life when Brown hit him and reached for his gun. Some witnesses have said that Brown had his hands up when Wilson shot him fol-

lowing a confrontation in a street in Ferguson. The U.S. Justice Department is conducting a civil rights investigation into the shooting and a separate investigation of police department practices. Wilson’s resignation didn’t seem to affect protesters outside Ferguson police headquarters Saturday night. Rick Campbell said he didn’t care about the resignation, saying: “I’ve been protesting out here since August.” Several other protesters merely shrugged their shoulders when asked about the resignation. “We were not after Wilson’s job,” civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton said in a written statement. “We were after Michael Brown’s justice.” Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson didn’t immediately return a message left on his cellphone seeking comment. Wilson spent months in hiding and made no public statements following the shooting. Wilson, who recently got married, broke his silence after the grand jury decision, telling ABC News that he couldn’t have done anything differently in the encounter with Brown. Wilson said he had a clean conscience because “I know I did my job right.” Brown’s shooting was the first time he fired his gun on the job, he said.

For Obama and Pentagon, an uneasy relationship The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – On a trip to Afghanistan during President Barack Obama’s first term, Defense Secretary Robert Gates was stunned to find a telephone line at the military’s special operations headquarters that linked directly back to a top White House national security official. “I had them tear it out while I was standing there,” Gates said earlier this month as he recounted his discovery. “I told the commanders, ‘If you get a call from the White House, you tell them to go to hell and call me.’” To Gates, the phone in Kabul came to symbolize Obama’s efforts to microman-

age the Pentagon and centralize decision-making in the White House. That criticism later would be echoed publicly and pointedly by Gates’ successor, Leon Panetta. The president’s third Pentagon chief, Chuck Hagel, was picked partly because he was thought to be more deferential to Obama’s close circle of White House advisers. But over time, Hagel also grew frustrated with what he saw as the West Wing’s insularity. There have been similar gripes from other Cabinet officials, but the friction between the White House and the Pentagon has been particularly pronounced during Obama’s six years in office. That dynamic already appears to be affecting the president’s abil-

ity to find a replacement for Hagel, who resigned Monday under pressure from Obama. Within hours, former Pentagon official Michele Flournoy called Obama to take herself out of consideration, even though she was widely seen as his top choice and would have been the first woman to hold the post. Flournoy officially cited family concerns, but people close to her say she also had reservations about being restrained like Hagel and would perhaps wait to see if she could get the job if another Democrat – namely Hillary Rodham Clinton – won the presidency in 2016. Obama’s eventual nominee will join a national security team that is under intense

criticism for its response to the rise of the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. The president has authorized airstrikes in both countries and sent about 3,000 U.S. troops to train and assist Iraqi security forces. He has resisted sending American troops into ground combat and has insisted the military campaign is not designed to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad, whose 3½-year assault on civilians helped create the chaos that allowed the Islamic State to thrive. The foreign policy landscape looks far different from what Obama envisioned when he ran for the White House and pledged to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Suspect in Etan Patz’s killing asked: Did I do it? By JENNIFER PELTZ The Associated Press NEW YORK – As he watched TV reports on a 33-year-old missing-child case, a man who’d never been a suspect started pondering whether he was the killer, he later told a psychologist. “ ‘Did I [do] it?’ It was just a thought that came into my head,” Pedro Hernandez recalls in the psychologist’s report, part of a recent court filing that adds new details about his defense in a case that galvanized the missing-children’s movement. “I was, like, nervous and questioning myself ... trying to make sense.” Hernandez would soon tell police he did choke 6-year-old Etan Patz in 1979, confessing after investigators were tipped that he’d spoken of having harmed a child. But defense

A newspaper with a photograph of Etan Patz was part of a makeshift memorial May 28, 2012, in the SoHo neighborhood of New York. While Pedro Hernandez told police he choked 6-year-old Patz in 1979, his defense said it was fiction from a man with an IQ in the bottom 2 percent of the population and mental illness that makes it difficult for him to distinguish real life from fantasy. psychological experts later found him unsure of whether the brutal scenario he’d described was real or imaginary. “I believed it in my mind

Proposed rule for farms aims to improve Lake Erie Black Friday sales fall TOLEDO, Ohio – Ohio’s lawmakers are taking their first step as sales start earlier toward slowing the spread of algae in Lake Erie since a toxin contaminated the drinking water for more than 400,000 people. Legislation approved in the state House would ban farmers in much of northwestern Ohio from spreading manure on top of frozen or saturated fields. Another provision would set new rules on dumping dredged sediment in the lake. Both are thought to contribute to the algae blooms that produce dangerous toxins.

that I did it, but I don’t think I did it,” Hernandez, 53, told one psychologist. The interplay between belief and reality is shaping up

to be a central issue in his murder trial, set for early next year. Since a judge ruled this week that jurors could hear Hernandez’s confession, it will be up to them to decide whether it was true. His defense says it was fiction from a man with an IQ in the bottom 2 percent of the population and mental illness that makes it difficult for him to distinguish real life from fantasy. Prosecutors say his confession was legitimate, and they’re seeking to limit proposed expert testimony on the psychological phenomenon of false confessions. “We believe the evidence that Mr. Hernandez killed Etan Patz to be credible and persuasive and that his statements are not the product of any mental illness,” the Manhattan district attorney’s office has said.

NEW YORK – The crowds of bargain shoppers rushing through store doors the day after Thanksgiving are thinning out. U.S. shoppers spent $9.1 billion at stores on Black Friday, according to data out Saturday from ShopperTrak, a research firm. That’s a drop of 7 percent compared with the same day last year. But it’s too early to call the holiday shopping season a dud. ShopperTrak says sales on Thanksgiving jumped 24 percent to $3.2 billion. And the figures don’t include online sales.

Supreme Court to hear EX-UPS driver’s pregnancy bias claim By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Peggy Young only has to look at her younger daughter to be reminded how long she has fought United Parcel Service over its treatment of pregnant employees, and why. Young was pregnant with Triniti, who’s now 7 years old, when UPS told Young that she could not have a temporary assignment to avoid lifting heavy packages, as her doctor had ordered. “They told me basically to go home and come back when I was no longer pregnant,” Young said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I couldn’t believe it.” She sued the Atlanta-based package-delivery company

for discriminating against pregnant women. She lost two rounds in lower courts, but the Supreme Court will hear her case Wednesday. The 42-year-old Young, who lives in Lorton, Virginia, said her persistence is not only for herself. “I am fighting for my two daughters and I’m fighting for women who want to start a family and provide for the family at the same time,” she said. UPS spokeswoman Kara Gerhardt Ross said the law is on the company’s side. “UPS did not intentionally discriminate,” Ross said. The outcome could have wide-ranging effects. Three-quarters of women entering the workforce today will become pregnant at least once while employed, and many will work throughout

their pregnancies, employment discrimination expert Katherine Kimpel wrote in a court brief. Some will experience complications or physical effects that cause them to ask their employers for a change of duties or other modifications, Kimpel said. Young’s case hinges on the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, a law that Congress passed in 1978 specifically to include discrimination against pregnant women as a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Congress acted after the Supreme Court, then composed entirely of men, said workplace rules that excluded pregnant workers from disability benefits and insurance coverage did not amount to sex discrimination under the landmark civil rights law.

Murder charges against Egypt’s Mubarak dismissed The Associated Press CAIRO – A judge dismissed murder charges Saturday against former President Hosni Mubarak and acquitted his security chief over the killing of protesters during Egypt’s 2011 uprising, crushing any hope of a judicial reckoning on behalf of the hundreds of victims of the revolt that toppled him. Yet instead of outrage, a largely muted initial reaction greeted the decision in an Egypt where unlicensed protests draw stiff prison terms and many remain fearful over their security four years after the nation’s Arab Spring revolt. Some 2,000 young people protested the verdict near Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the

birthplace of the 2011 uprising closed off Saturday by soldiers and police, though open a day earlier despite widespread fears of violent Islamist protests. They chanted against the military, whose former chief, Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, is now the president. “The people want to bring down the regime!” they shouted, using one of the chief slogans in the 18-day, anti-Mubarak uprising.

Pope prays in Istanbul mosque in new outreach The ASSOCIATED PRESS ISTANBUL – Pope Francis stood Saturday for two minutes of silent prayer facing east in one of Turkey’s most important mosques, a powerful vision of Christian-Muslim understanding at a time when neighboring countries are experiencing violent Islamic assault on Christians and religious minorities. His head bowed, eyes closed and hands clasped in front of him, Francis prayed alongside the Grand Mufti of Istanbul, Rahmi Yaran, in the 17th-century Sultan Ahmet mosque, shifting gears to religious concerns on the second day of his three-day visit to Turkey. “May God accept it,” Yaran told the pope of their prayer. The Vatican spokesman, Rev. Federico Lombardi, called it a moment of “silent adoration.” Lombardi said Francis told the mufti twice that Christians and Muslims must “adore” God and not just

praise and glorify him. It was a remarkably different atmosphere from Francis’ first day in Turkey, when the simple and frugal pope was visibly uncomfortable with the pomp and protocol required of him for the state visit part of his trip. With President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s mega-palace, honor guard and horseback escort now behind him, Francis got down to the business of being pope, showing respect to Muslim leaders, celebrating Mass for Istanbul’s tiny Catholic community and meeting with the spiritual leader of the world’s 300 million Orthodox Christians. Francis bowed before Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I and asked him “to bless me and the church of Rome” at the end of an ecumenical service Saturday evening. The Orthodox leader obliged, kissing Francis’ bowed head. The two major branches of Christianity rep-

resented by Bartholomew and Francis split in 1054 over differences on the primacy of the papacy, giving particular resonance to Francis’ display of deference. Francis’ visit comes at an exceedingly tense time for Turkey, with Islamic State militants grabbing territory next door in Syria and Iraq and sending some 1.6 million refugees fleeing across the border. Some refugees were expected to attend Francis’ final event on Sunday before he returns to Rome. Francis nodded, smiled and looked up in awe as Yaran gave him a tour of the Blue Mosque, famed for its elaborate blue tiles and cascading domes. Presenting the pope with a blue, tulip-designed tile, Yaran said he prayed to God that his visit would “contribute to the world getting along well and living in peace.” “We are in need of prayers. The world really needs prayers,” Yaran said.

WORLD BRIEFS Ebola death toll up, Sierra 15 dead in attack in west Leone needs more beds China’s Xinjiang region

Nigeria: Mosque blasts death toll above 102

DAKAR, Senegal – Sierra Leone will soon see a dramatic increase in desperately needed Ebola treatment beds, but it’s still not clear who will staff them, according to the top United Nations official in the fight against the disease. Ebola has sickened more than 16,000 people of whom nearly 7,000 have died, according to figures released Friday by the World Health Organization. Sierra Leone is now bearing the brunt of the 8-month-old outbreak. In the other hard-hit countries, Liberia and Guinea, WHO says infection rates are stabilizing or declining, but in Sierra Leone, they’re soaring. The country has been reporting around 400 to 500 new cases each week for several weeks. Those cases are concentrated in the capital, Freetown, its surrounding areas and the northern Port Loko district.

KANO, Nigeria – Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan vowed to track down the perpetrators of the bomb blasts that killed more than 100 people at the central mosque in the city of Kano. Jonathan said his government will “continue to take every step to put an end to the reprehensible acts of all groups and persons involved in acts of terrorism.” At least 102 people were killed in the bomb explosions at the central mosque in Kano, said a hospital worker. The multiple explosions that hit the mosque on Friday injured more than 150. “Most of those receiving treatment ... are in dire need of blood and we are appealing to people to come and donate their blood to rescue the victims,” Dr. Usman Bashir told Associated Press on Saturday.

BEIJING – An attack in China’s troubled western Xinjiang region left 15 people dead and 14 injured, state media reported Saturday, the latest in a wave of ethnic violence there that has claimed dozens of lives over the past year. The official Xinhua News Agency reported that the attack took place at a “food street” Friday in Shache county, the same region where state media said a series of attacks in July left 96 people dead, including 59 assailants. The Tianshan news portal said the assailants in Friday’s attack wielded explosives, knives and at least one vehicle. Xinhua reported that 11 of the 15 people killed were assailants. Xinjiang has seen repeated violence over the past year as members of the Muslim Uighur minority group have bristled under what they say is repressive Chinese government rule.

of the Gulf Arab island nation. Mubarak, who assumed Egypt’s highest office in 1981 following the assassination of Anwar Sadat, has spent virtually all the time since he was detained in April 2011 in hospitals due to poor health. On Saturday, he came to the courtroom on a gurney, wearing dark glasses, a navy blue tie and a matching cardigan. In his ruling, judge Mahmoud al-Rashidi cited the “inadmissibility” of the case against Mubarak due to a technicality. He said Mubarak’s May 2011 referral to trial by prosecutors ignored the “implicit” decision that no criminal charges be filed against him when his security chief and six of his top aides were referred to trial by the same prosecutors two months earlier.

The dispersal contrasted with the jubilant well-wishers who greeted Mubarak after the decision when he returned to his temporary home at a Nileside military hospital. He later triumphantly waved back to supporters from his hospital window. A television interviewer reached him by telephone, asking whether he had ordered the killing. “I did not do anything at all,” replied Mubarak, who was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 2012 on charges related to the killing of protesters. The verdict was overturned on appeal the following year. The monarch of close U.S. ally Bahrain, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, also called to congratulate Mubarak, according to the official news agency

Islamic State group launches attack on Kobani from Turkey By BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press BEIRUT – The Islamic State group launched an attack Saturday on the Syrian border town of Kobani from Turkey, a Kurdish official and activists said, although Turkey denied that the fighters had used its territory for the raid. The assault began when a suicide bomber driving an armored vehicle detonated his explosives on the border crossing between Kobani and Turkey, said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Nawaf Khalil, a spokesman for Syria’s powerful Kurdish Democratic Union Party. The Islamic State group “used to attack the town from three sides,” Khalil said. “Today, they are attacking from four sides.” Turkey, while previously backing the Syrian rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad in that country’s civil war, has been hesitant to aid them in Kobani because it fears that could stoke Kurdish ambitions for an independent

state. A Turkish government statement on Saturday confirmed that one of the suicide attacks involved a bomb-loaded vehicle that detonated on the Syrian side of the border. But it denied that the vehicle had crossed into Kobani through Turkey, which would be a first for the extremist fighters. “Claims that the vehicle reached the border gate by crossing through Turkish soil are a lie,” read the statement released from the government press office at the border town of Suruc. “Contrary to certain claims, no Turkish official has made any statement claiming that the bomb-loaded vehicle had crossed in from Turkey.” “The security forces who are on alert in the border region have ... taken all necessary measures,” the statement continued. Associated Press journalists saw thick black smoke rise over Kobani during the attack. The sound of heavy gunfire echoed through the surrounding hills as armored vehicles took up positions on

the border. The Observatory said heavy fighting also took place southwest of the town where the Islamic State group brought in tanks to reinforce their fighters. Mustafa Bali, a Kobani-based activist, said by telephone that Islamic State group fighters have taken positions in the grain silos on the Turkish side of the border and from there are launching attacks toward the border crossing point. He added that the U.S.led coalition launched an airstrike Saturday morning on the eastern side of the town. “It is now clear that Turkey is openly cooperating with Daesh,” Bali said, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State. Later in the day, he said the situation was relatively calm on the border after a day of heavy clashes. The Islamic State group claimed three suicide attacks in Kobani’s border crossing point, the SITE Intelligence Group reported. The group, quoting Twitter accounts linked to the militants, said the suicide attacks were carried out by a Saudi and a Turkmen.

CLASS 7A FOOTBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP PROVIDENCE 31, CARY-GROVE 28

Take2 Joey Kaufman and

Joe Stevenson

FACE OFF

Cary-Grove took risks in final, most of them worked The high school football season ended Saturday night as Cary-Grove fell to Providence, 31-28, in the Class 7A state championship game. The loss kept the Trojans from winning their second state title since 2009. Reporters Joey Kaufman and Joe Stevenson discuss:

Kaufman: Well, that was a football game. Back and forth. Just chippy enough. Two really good, talented teams going at it. This’ll sting for Cary-Grove, probably for a good while. A second state title in six years would’ve been some accomplishment. But on the flip side, the Trojans were 13-1, ran into a mean Providence team and lost by a slim margin of three points. That still was among the better high school football teams I ever have seen. But, Joe, you’ve seen a lot of good teams from here. I know the dust has hardly settled from the season, but where do you put the 2014 Trojans? Stevenson: We have two state champions recently – C-G in 2009 and Prairie Ridge in 2011 – that are among the area’s best ever. Although neither of them saw teams as tough as C-G saw in 2012 (Crete-Monee) and 2014 (Providence). So, even though they didn’t finish the job, I’d put both those C-G teams right up there on the list. Kaufman: They had Providence on the ropes for a bit there in the second quarter. It looked like the same Trojans we saw all year. It might be neck and neck early, but they’d pull away. And they started to, going up 14-7 a few minutes right before halftime. Then they tried to recover a pooch kick and get the ball back, but couldn’t. What’d you think of that call? Stevenson: I loved Trojans coach Brad Seaburg’s calls in the second quarter. He went for it on fourth down twice in their second scoring drive, then called for that pop-up kick, which caught Providence off-guard. Kevin Hughes almost had the recovery, but touched it before a Providence player could get it. If they get that, it’s a 21-7 game at halftime and possibly a different outcome. I have to hand it to Providence, however, the only time it didn’t get a touchdown in the second half was when it was running out the clock. Kaufman: Seaburg really did coach a heck of a game. But, as well-discplined as the Trojans were, I kept thinking they had their hands tied behind their back in the second half. Look, the triple option is great and it makes Cary-Grove what it is. I’m not saying it should be scrapped. By no means. But much like the 2012 state title game, C-G got in a hole and it couldn’t climb its way out of it. For that team, it’s especially hard to come back down 10. It might be helpful to add some wrinkles, something to speed up the pace of play, at least. Stevenson: It does make it crucial not to fall behind, but the offense has served C-G well and gives teams fits in the postseason because true triple-option teams are rarer. There’s a little give and take with everything like that. And usually more take for C-G than give. Kaufman: That’s fair. It also is probably wise not to overhaul an offense based on two games. If something’s worked to get a team this far, you don’t really want to deviate from that. But then again, isn’t the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?

LEFT WITH A FEELING OF UNFULFILLMENT Players: Feeling of accomplishment will override sting

STANDOUT STATS q THE GAME BALL

Michael Gomez Cary-Grove, G/DE, Sr

Gomez played almost the whole game on both lines for the Trojans and had two tackles for losses. The offense gained 343 total yards and FB Tyler Pennington rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns.

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – Cary-Grove’s Michael Gomez was slightly conflicted after his high school football career ended. Gomez wanted to be happy with playing in a Class 7A football state championship game that lived up to the hype, a matchup of two of the state’s best teams, regardless of class, that was not decided until the final minutes. But the Trojans had lost to Providence, 31-28, Saturday at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium, which meant a second runner-up trophy in three years, and not the big one they coveted most. “This is really bad,” said Gomez, a guard/defensive end who started two years ago. “Coming in my sophomore year I had a very different perspective, knowing I had more time. Senior year, losing it just hurts worse. But I’ve had the most fun I’ve ever had on this team. So much heart, so much effort we put in. A couple plays here and there, we finish on top.” Instead, it was Providence (131) that won its 10th state championship in school history, its first since 2004. “I’m proud of how we fought to the end, but just making it here wasn’t the goal,” offensive tackle/

q THE NUMBER

Rushing touchdowns by Providence RB Richie Warfield, who carried 23 times for 123 yards.

q THE TURNING POINT

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Cary-Grove players react after receiving the second-place trophy Saturday in Champaign. defensive tackle Trevor Ruhland said. “We’re disappointed, but in a couple days we’ll be happy with how we played this season. It was a really fun ride.” C-G (13-1) could not get the defensive stop it desperately needed in the second half. The Trojans led, 14-10, at halftime, but Providence finished its first three second-half possessions with touchdown runs by 6-foot, 200-pound sophomore running back Richie Warfield. The Trojans held Providence’s NCAA Division I receivers Nate Veyvoda (Iowa) and Miles Boykin (Notre Dame) to a combined eight receptions for 103 yards. But Warfield carried 23 times for 123 yards and four touchdowns, while quarterback Justin Hunniford kept plays alive with his scrambling and completed 18 of 26 passes for 184 yards.

“The way they aligned, they had two backs over Miles, we kind of knew Richie was going to have to carry the load,” Celtics coach Mark Coglianese said. The critical play came after C-G had cut Providence’s lead to 24-21 with fullback Tyler Pennington’s 7-yard touchdown run. The Celtics drove back, and Warfield wriggled free for a 41-yard touchdown with 6:05 remaining in the fourth quarter. “We stopped ourselves in the first half,” Hunniford said. “We came out in the third quarter, kept doing what we were doing, limited the mental mistakes and didn’t turn the ball over or commit penalties. It carried us the whole way.” C-G came back to make it 31-28 on Pennington’s 2-yard run with 1:30 remaining, but the Celtics recovered the onside kick and ran

Providence came out in the third quarter with a pair of touchdowns and a defensive stop of C-G to grab a 24-14 lead.

out the remaining time. “There weren’t a whole lot of possessions in the second half,” Trojans coach Brad Seaburg said. “They took advantage of every opportunity. It was one of those games where they scored and we missed our chance (in the third quarter) and we’re playing catchup the rest of the game.” C-G has been to a state championship game four times in 11 years and won the Class 6A state title in 2009, defeating Providence, 34-17. “It was our goal to get here, but it was also our goal to win it,” linebacker Travis Myerson said. “It’s disappointing, but we left no regrets out there. Everyone played their hardest, I couldn’t ask for a better group of guys to play with.”

Short kickoff late in 1st half proves costly for Trojans By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – After CaryGrove battled back from its first deficit of the season with two unanswered touchdowns to take a 14-7 lead late in the first half, coach Brad Seaburg and the Trojans hoped to catch Providence Catholic off-guard. On the ensuing kickoff, Trojans sophomore kicker Collin Walsh popped up a kick 24 yards down the right sideline that C-G’s Kevin Hughes appeared to tip and recover at the Celtics’ 36-yard line. But, instead of C-G getting the ball back in Providence territory, referees threw a flag for catch interference – giving Providence the ball at midfield. Providence then went 46 yards in the final 1:24 of the

first half, where C-G stiffened and held the Celtics out of the endzone on three plays from inside the 5. The Celtics’ P.J. Kowalkowski kicked a 21-yard field goal as time expired to trim the Trojans’ lead to 14-10 at the break. The gamble by C-G was a turning point for Providence, as many players on the field thought the Trojans had recovered the ball. But, according to IHSA rules, the ball has to hit the ground before any member of the kicking team can touch it or before any member of the receiving team has a chance to catch it. Hughes, for his part, knew the rule. “I knew he didn’t signal for the fair catch,” Hughes said. “I know the rule. I know I can’t touch it when the ball is in the air, but my instincts took over

and I wanted to get the ball back for my team. My adrenaline just took over at that time. It happens.” The field goal by Providence proved to be the difference, as the Celtics prevailed, 31-28, in the Class 7A state championship at University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium. Seaburg stood by his decision to short kick. He also

didn’t want to put the ball in the hands of 6-foot, 200-pound running back/kick returner Richie Warfield (123 yards, four TDs). “Their special teams are probably the best special teams we’ve seen this year,” Seaburg said. “They don’t put a lot of backups in. They have all of their studs out there, and we’re very aware of who they have deep. Collin had a great kick

Although Warfield didn’t hurt the Trojans on that play, he certainly had his way with C-G Cary-Grove 0 14 0 14 – 28 Providence 7 3 14 7 – 31 after the break – scoring three of his four TDs and rushing for FIRST QUARTER P–Warfield 1 run (Kowalkowski kick), 3:22. 95 yards in the second half.

Reiser qualifies for cross country National Finals

CLS cruises past R-B in 5th-place game

McHenry senior Jesse Reiser finished third at the Foot Locker Cross Country Championship Midwest Regional on Saturday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and earned an automatic invitation to compete in the National Finals. The top 10 boys and top 10 girls in Saturday’s seeded races qualified to compete against runners from the South, Northeast and West regional meets in the 36th annual Foot Locker Cross Country Championships National Finals Dec. 13 at Morley Field, Balboa Park in San Diego, California.

Poster of missing OSU player shown before game COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State’s football stadium went silent Saturday as an announcer called out the name of a missing football player while a police poster seeking information on his disappearance appeared on the scoreboard. Kosta Karageorge was the last of 24 Ohio State players who were expected to play their final game at Ohio Stadium against rival Michigan. His family said he was last seen Wednesday. The seventh-ranked Buckeyes went on to defeat archrival Michigan, 42-28. After the game, an emotional coach Urban Meyer addressed the missing player. “Our prayers and thoughts are with him and his family and to have him return home safe,” Meyer said.

Referee injured, taken off court on a stretcher NEW YORK – Referee Rick Crawford was taken off the court on a stretcher shortly after he inadvertently was struck in the face by LaSalle’s Steve Dack after the opening tipoff of the consolation game of the Barclays Center Classic on Saturday night. A Barclays Center spokesperson said Crawford was being taken to Brooklyn Hospital, and could move his fingers. He had bruising over his right eye, and his neck was in a brace. Both eyes were open.

Three-point field goals by the Gators, which helped take control of the game in the second quarter.

q THE TURNING POINT

After a hard-fought first quarter, Crystal Lake South built its lead thanks in part to 3-point field goals by Reich and Zach Geske.

By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com JOHNSBURG – What started as a grind-it-out, in-yourface defensive battle between Johnsburg and Crystal Lake South turned into a game dominated by the Gators as Crystal Lake South cruised to a 63-34 victory over Johnsburg on Saturday in the fifth-place game of the Richmond-Burton/ Johnsburg Thanksgiving Basketball Tournament at Johnsburg High School. The first quarter was dominated by defense, with each team forcing several turnovers and having few shot attempts that weren’t contested. Both teams made only one basket

each the first 5:30 of the game. Crystal Lake South (3-1) held a 10-6 lead after one quarter, and when the second quarter began, the Gators started hitting their shots. South took control in the second quarter thanks to sharp shooting from 3-point range by Alex Reich, and Johnsburg (13) had no answer. The Gators increased their lead to 33-17 at halftime, and continued their defensive dominance in the second half en route to the victory. Reich led all scorers with 18 points, and Zach Geske added 14 points for South. The Skyhawks were led by Tanner Kreassig with 10 points. Geske and Kreassig were named to the all-tournament team.

Ocean race crew abandons grounded sloop Volvo Ocean Race organizers said nine crewmen from Team Vestas Wind have abandoned their 65-foot racing sloop hours after it went aground on the Cargados Carajos Shoals, Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean. Organizers said the sailors have moved to two life rafts anchored to a dry section of the reef. No injuries are reported. At daylight, they will either board a boat from the local coast guard and be taken to a nearby island or join Team Alvimedica, a competitor that is standing by. – Staff, wire reports

Richmond-Burton 56, Grayslake North 42: Richmond-Burton made some adjustments on defense and started hitting shots as the Rockets overcame an early deficit and defeated Grayslake North in the thirdplace game. Grayslake North (2-2) couldn’t miss in the first quarter and raced out to a 10-point first-quarter lead before Richmond-Burton (3-1) made some

adjustments. The Rockets began forcing turnovers and broke down the Knights’ zone as they cut the deficit to three at halftime. The Rockets started the second half on a 16-0 run, which was too much for Grayslake North to overcome. Richmond-Burton was led by all-tournament recipient Sam Kaufman with 16 points. “We played very well this week, but it is kind of disappointing that we were just two points away from the championship game,” Rockets coach Brandon Creason said. “We came out a little flat today, but turned it around after a slow first quarter. I’m pretty happy to start 3-1.”

wait for. That is a very special team over there.” The Tigers (3-1) were bothered by the height of the Vikings for most of the night. It also didn’t help that Buffalo-bound Nate Navigato started making shots in the second quarter, knocking down two 3s and finishing the game with 21 points. Crystal Lake Central was playing without senior and starting guard Cavanagh Murphy because of a broken wrist that he sustained in Friday’s game against Carmel. The team will know more on the timetable for return on Sunday when Murphy gets re-examined. “It was our first game playing without Cav, so we knew it would be a little bit of a struggle,” senior Jack Ortner said. “That was a real good

team we played, but when we look at the whole tournament, we can take away some positives for sure.” Ian Koch led Crystal Lake Central with 12 points.

Prairie Ridge 50, McHenry 42: In the fifth place game, Prairie Ridge held off a late McHenry rally to win. The Wolves (2-2) forced 28 turnovers, including back-toback turnovers in the final two minutes that led to layups by Chris Bradshaw. “I thought we pressured them fairly well,” Prairie Ridge coach Corky Card said. “We made some little plays to give us a chance to win, and that’s all want at the end of the game is to have a chance.” Prairie Ridge had four players in double figures to McHenry’s one. Joey Kinowski had 13,

Jack Berg finished with 11 and both Bradshaw and Logan Card scored ten each for the Wolves. Corey Lersch led McHenry (1-3) with a game-high 14 points,

Belvidere North 49, Huntley 47: Huntley took on Belvidere North in the first game of the day looking for its first win under new head coach Will Benson. The Red Raiders fought but came up short to start to season 0-4. “We are still going through the process of what it takes to be successful,” Benson said. “This was our best game, and we had a lot of different players contribute. I would have been more disappointed if we didn’t play better today, but we did, and that’s a step in the right direction.”

Berg scored 11 points for the Wolves and made several hustle plays that would not show up in the box score to help Prairie RIdge beat McHenry to finish in fifth place at the Crystal Lake Central Tournament.

Cricket umpire dies in Israel after struck JERUSALEM – Israeli police said a 60-year-old man has died after being struck in the face by a ball while working as an umpire at a cricket match in the coastal city of Ashdod. Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the man was hit by a ball during a league game Saturday and that no foul play was suspected. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. Saturday’s accident comes two days after professional Australian cricket player Phillip Hughes died from injuries he sustained after being struck by a ball. Witnesses told Israeli media a batsman struck a ball and it rebounded off the stumps to hit the umpire, who was not wearing protective gear.

“The way we played on defense contributed to a lot of the looks we had on offense,” Gators coach Matt LePage said. “Pretty pleased with how we played this tournament, posting a 3-1 record. We have some things to work on, but we had a lot of positives also.”

held off a furious rally to beat Homewood-Flossmoor for a second time this season to win the IHSA Class 8A football state championships, 31-25. Down 24-10, the Vikings cut the Stevenson lead to 24-16 with a Devonte Harley-Hampton touchdown run at 2:35 of the third quarter. Stevenson appeared in control after Willie Bourbon scored with 6:26 left in the fourth to push the lead to 31-16. Stevenson (14-0) later couldn’t get the ball out of the end zone and the Vikings scored on a safety. They got the ball back with 2:18 to go and scored three plays later. A squib kick was recovered by Homewood-Flossmoor (11-3) and the Vikings drove inside the 10 but fumbled at the three and Stevenson was able to run out the clock.

It was only the second time in 2014 that Sacred Heart trailed. But it rattled off 29 straight points to gain a commanding lead it never relinquished. Southern Miss quarterback recruit Gabe Green threw for 207 yards and a score. And running back Sam Sergent rushed for 98 yards and two scores for the Cyclones. Montini kept Sacred Heart-Griffin from obtaining a running clock (a 40-point lead) for the first time this year. It was led by Charles Norgle III’s 234 yards passing and two scores.

Dean scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter to give the Roadrunners the lead, and his 27-yard run with just more than 10 minutes to go in the game sealed it. The Roadrunners (140) were in command from the start, jumping to a 13-7 first-quarter lead before tacking on scores in both the third and fourth quarters. They held Lemont (13-1) to just 202 yards overall and forced three turnovers. The Indians were led by Thomas Bleka’s 54 yards rushing, and Flynn Nagel added 70 receiving.

BIG TEN ROUNDUP

TOP 25 ROUNDUP

USC 49, NOTRE DAME 14

Illini gain bowl eligibility, Florida State survives Kessler’s 6 TDs lead beat Northwestern, 47-33 battle against Florida USC past Notre Dame The ASSOCIATED PRESS

EVANSTON – Tim Beckman walked into the small office that serves as the visiting interview room at Ryan Field on Saturday and took a quick look around. “Two years ago I walked in here and was disappointed as a football coach could be,” the Illinois coach said. “Not with our players but with the way the program had turned out. I just felt that we needed to give more.” His players delivered this time. Reilly O’Toole passed for 147 yards and three touchdowns and also ran for 147 yards, Josh Ferguson had a pair of rushing scores and Illinois took advantage of five Northwestern turnovers for a 47-33 victory over its in-state and Big Ten rival. Illinois (6-6, 3-5 Big Ten) is bowl eligible for the first time since 2011, and the win may end speculation that coach Beckman could lose his job in his third season.

No. 7 Ohio State 42, Michigan 28: In Columbus, Ohio, Ezekiel Elliott scored untouched on a 44-yard run on fourth-and-1 with 4:58 left to help Ohio State, without injured star quarterback J.T. Barrett, beat Michigan. With no postseason, the only thing left to be decided for Michigan (5-7, 3-5) is the future of coach Brady Hoke. Interim athletic director Jim Hackett will make the call on whether the coach stays or goes. Barrett threw for a score and ran for two before his right leg crumpled underneath him when he was tackled on a run on the first play of the fourth quarter. He broke his right ankle and will have surgery Sunday. Cardale Jones came in for the Buckeyes (11-1, 8-0) to lead the drive that culminated in Elliott’s long run. Darron Lee returned a fumble 33 yards late to add to the lead.

No. 10 Michigan State 34, Penn State 10: In State College, Pa. R.J. Shelton returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and Jeremy Langford ran for 118 yards and two scores in Michigan State’s victory over Penn State. The Spartans (10-2, 7-1) won their third straight game and hit the double-digit win mark for the fourth time in the last five seasons under coach Mark Dantonio. The Spartans have four of their six 10-plus win seasons in school history under Dantonio. Shelton doused the enthusiasm of the emotional senior day festivities at Beaver Stadium when he used all of 14 seconds to dart through defenders for the score. From there, the Spartans never really dazzled against the Nittany Lions (6-6, 2-6). Connor Cook threw a 10yard TD pass and Langford chipped in with a 3-yard score in the third quarter to methodically put it away.

No. 14 Wisconsin 34, No. 22 Minnesota 24: In Madison, Wisc. Melvin Gordon ran for 151 yards and accounted for two scores, and Wisconsin overcame a two-touchdown deficit to beat Minnesota and earn a spot in the Big Ten championship game. Joel Stave threw for 215 yards, including 160 to receiver Alex Erickson. Stave’s 17-yard touchdown pass to Robert Wheelwright with 4:41 left gave the Badgers (10-2, 7-1) a 10-point lead. It was not easy. Physical Minnesota (8-4, 5-3) let a 17-3 lead early in the second quarter slip away. David Cobb ran for 118 yards on 25 carries, including a 40-yard score. Indiana 23, Purdue 16: In Bloomington, Ind. Zander Diamont will definitely put Saturday’s touchdown run on his Bucket list. Indiana’s fans won’t forget this one, either. The much maligned freshman quarterback capped a second-half rally by scoring on a 1-yard run with 27 seconds left to give Indiana a 2316 victory over rival Purdue (3-9, 1-7).

“It’s hard to describe a moment like that, it’s something you dream about,” Diamont said after Indiana reclaimed the Old Oaken Bucket. “Getting to score and just kind of having this moment with my teammates to celebrate, it means the world. Especially after the season, it hasn’t been easy for us.” He finished 15 of 24 for 119 yards, ran 11 times for 34 yards and led the Hoosiers (4-8, 1-7 Big Ten) to scores on five of their final six possessions including his decisive score.

Rutgers 41, Maryland 38: In College Park, Md. Ralph Friedgen had just helped orchestrate the biggest comeback victory in Rutgers (7-5, 3-5) history, and the last thing he wanted to do was talk about himself or his strange return to Maryland (7-5, 4-4). Yet there were questions to be asked, so Friedgen reluctantly pulled himself away from family and friends to address reporters after the Scarlet Knights rallied from a 25-point deficit to beat Maryland 41-38 Saturday. His offense amassed 491 yards, Gary Nova threw for 347 yards and four touchdowns and three receivers finished with more than 100 yards. Janarion Grant had eight catches for 105 yards; Andre Patton had eight receptions for 101 yards and two touchdowns; and Leonte Carroo caught six passes for 104 yards and two scores. The Scarlet Knights (7-5, 3-5) trailed 35-10 late in the first half before closing to 3517 at the break. It would be the first of four straight possessions that ended in touchdowns.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Dalvin Cook ran for a career-high 144 yards and No. 1 Florida State survived Jameis Winston’s struggles to beat Florida, 24-19, on Saturday night in Will Muschamp’s final game as the Gators’ coach. The Seminoles (12-0, 8-0) will face Georgia Tech Dec. 6 in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.

No. 2 Alabama 55, No. 15 Auburn 44: In Tuscaloosa, Amari Cooper tied his own school record with 224 yards receiving and caught three touchdown passes in Alabama’s 55-44 comeback victory over Auburn (8-4, 4-4) on Saturday night in the highest-scoring Iron Bowl. Quarterback Blake Sims and the Crimson Tide (11-1, 7-1) turned to the Heisman Trophy candidate for touchdowns of 39 and 75 yards in the third quarter.

touchdowns, two of them to record-setting wide receiver Tyler Lockett, and Kansas State routed Kansas to move into a tie atop the Big 12 standings.

No. 16 Georgia Tech 30, No. 8 Georgia 24, OT: In Athens, Harrison Butker kicked a career-long 53-yard field goal on the final play of regulation, and D.J. White picked off a pass in overtime to preserve Georgia Tech’s victory over Georgia. Georgia Tech (10-2, 6-2) trailed 24-21 after Hutson Mason threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Malcolm Mitchell on fourth down with 18 seconds left.

No. 23 Clemson 35, South Carolina 17: In Clemson, Artavis

Scott had two long touchdown catches, Wayne Gallman ran for 191 yards and Clemson ended a five-game losing streak to rival South Carolina.

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Cody Kessler passed for 372 yards and threw two of his six touchdown passes to George Farmer, leading Southern California to a 49-14 victory over Notre Dame in the 85th edition of the intersectional rivalry Saturday. Adoree Jackson, Darreus Rogers and Nelson Agholor also caught TD passes in a dynamic first half for the Trojans (8-4), who jumped to a 35-0 lead in the second quarter. USC easily reclaimed the Jeweled Shillelagh after two straight losses to the Irish, piling up 577 yards against Notre Dame’s injury-plagued defense. With Kessler’s second-half scoring throw to Randall Telfer, Notre Dame yielded six touchdown passes for the first time in the program’s 127-year history. That defensive low caps a miserable second-half slide for the Irish (7-5), who have lost five of their last six games. Everett Golson struggled mightily before Malik Zaire replaced him late in the first half with Notre Dame already trailing by 35. Zaire led a scoring drive and finished with 170 yards passing, providing hope for Notre Dame’s future. But the present in this rivalry belongs to the Trojans, who rebounded from their lifeless effort last week in a blowout loss to UCLA in their other big rivalry game. “These guys have been

such a resilient group all year,” said USC coach Steve Sarkisian, who won his first shot at Notre Dame. “They have been through so much, and they keep working.” Kessler, who went 32 for 40, also became the first quarterback to throw five touchdown passes in a half against Notre Dame while completing 16 straight passes in a stretch spanning halftime. After setting his career high in completions, the junior finished the regular season with 3,505 yards passing and 36 TDs against just four interceptions. Agholor caught 12 passes for 120 yards in perhaps his final game at USC, while Justin Davis rushed for 81 yards and a 16-yard score in the third quarter. Javorius Allen added 93 yards rushing. Before the final regular-season game of its NCAA sanctions era, USC said farewell to a small senior class. Several upperclassmen left with memorable games: J.R. Tavai matched his previous season total with 3½ sacks, including a fourth-down sack with 4 minutes to play, while Gerald Bowman had an interception and Hayes Pullard recovered a fumble as USC built its lead. Greg Bryant rushed for 79 yards and a late TD for Notre Dame. The low stakes didn’t matter to fans as USC and Notre Dame closed out two disappointing regular seasons on a brilliant sunny day at the Coliseum, which hosted the schools’ first meeting on Dec. 4, 1926.

Blackhawks’ Jonathan Toews (center) tries to score against Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick (right) during the first period of Saturday’s game in Los Angeles. The Blackhawks beat the Kings, 4-1. riod rally in Game 6 at Staples Center. But in Game 7, the Hawks couldn’t hold on to an early 2-0 lead, or a 4-3 lead in the third period. Marian Gaborik tied it in the third, and Martinez won it at 5:47 of overtime. Martinez went on to score the Cup-winning goal in Game 5 against the New York Rangers, too. It could have been the Hawks. They were that close. “Sour [memories], obviously,” Shaw said. “We were playing great last year in the playoffs, and we were playing against a good team. In Game 7s, you never know which way they can go. Obviously, it left a sour taste in our mouth.” Vengeance wasn’t going to come Saturday night, no matter the result. Not in November. But neither team would be shocked to see the other again in late May. Sure, the Hawks entered Saturday night’s game in third place in the Central Division. The Kings were fourth in the Pacific. But these teams, as well as anyone in the league, know how little that matters right now. They’re the two best teams

in the NHL, the standards, the franchises everyone else is chasing. They’ve combined to win four of the past five Stanley Cups, and have met in two straight Western Conference finals, including last spring’s unforgettable seven-game clash, arguably the best playoff series in the past decade. They’re talented and deep, with battle-tested goalies and iconic coaches and championship experience that sets them apart from nearly every team in the league. It’s a rivalry built not on blood and hate, but on a shared history and a mutual respect. On memories, good and bad. “I’m sure it’s a lot of respect on both sides,” Quenneville said. “Two great series. Last year was as good as they come; terrible ending. There’s some disappointing at the end of it all, but we’re certainly excited about playing these guys. Our regular-season games are as intense as our playoff games. It makes for a great contest, a great showdown.” And maybe another great preview of bigger things to come.

LOS ANGELES – It was cold and drafty in the cavernous Staples Center on Saturday morning as nine Blackhawks and the assistant coaches took part in a casual and optional morning skate. The breeze circulating throughout the empty arena kept catching the newest banner hanging from the rafters, the one reading “Stanley Cup Champions 2013-14” – waving it, flaunting it, seemingly taunting the players below. Outside the Los Angeles Kings’ dressing room, just down the hall from the visitors’ room, was a light fixture with two Stanley Cups etched on it, one labeled 2012, one labeled 2014. And there were pictures and posters throughout the arena, serving as cruel reminders of how last season ended for the Hawks, and how close they came to a return trip to the Stanley Cup Final, to a possible second straight championship. “You kind of see how close we were,” Bryan Bickell said. “One shot. One goal. We could have had [the banners] in our rink.” The Hawks have moved on from their Western Conference final Game 7 loss at the United Center in June, but they haven’t forgotten. Probably never will. Every now and then, the image of Alec Martinez’s shot fluttering off of Nick Leddy’s sweater and past Corey Crawford in overtime flickers in their minds. They can’t help it. “It’s there,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “It’s always there,” Andrew Shaw said. The Hawks had erased a 3-1 series deficit with an exhilarating double-overtime win at the United Center in Game 5, and pulled off a thrilling third-pe-

Bears fail to exert effort vs. Lions There are a number of things that jump off the tape of the Bears’ 34-17 loss to the Lions on Thanksgiving Day. But no matter how many times you watch it, you are drawn back to the failure of Marc Trestman and his coaching staff to put the Bears in a position to win. On offense, the Bears threw the ball 48 times and ran it only eight, including 29 passes and just one rushing attempt in the second half. It is clear from early in the third quarter on that the Lions’ defense abandons any concern about the run on almost every Bears snap. Detroit’s front four pin their ears back and race to the passer while six, and often seven, defenders drop into coverage and clog the passing lanes. Although the Lions have one of the best run defenses in the league, on the couple runs the Bears tried early, there were lanes available and, had they stayed with it, Matt Forte would eventually have had some success. Even if he didn’t, it would have opened up the field for his passing game, and given his club a fighting chance. Trestman and his staff get an F for their effort vs. the Lions. As a result, I don’t know what to give Forte and Ka’Deem Carey for the game but an incomplete. I do have to give Alshon Jeffery an A-, Martellus Bennett a B and the rest of the Bears receivers a C+. In addition to Jeffery’s two touchdowns, he did a nice job of blocking against the Lions. Bennett

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush was the Bears’ best offensive player with eight catches for 109 yards, but he had one bad drop and a second pass he didn’t exactly drop but mishandled when Jay Cutler surprised him with a shovel pass. The Bears’ pass catchers all do a nice job of blocking, so I hung the plus on an average performance for the rest of them. Sadly, Brandon Marshall is becoming just one of the rest of the Bears receivers. Cutler gets a C. Yes, he was put in a tough spot by Trestman but he had an unusually poor day mechanically, even for him, and he seemed less than interested for big chunks of the game. The offensive line also gets an incomplete because of the bizarre gameplan, but after studying this tape I don’t understand how the Bears can leave Jordan Mills on the field, and Michael Ola’s star is sinking fast, as well. Ola struggled terribly all day inside, and the fourth quarter sack Mills allowed Jason Jones was one of the most pathetic attempts at a block I’ve ever seen. He was incompetent all day. It’s time to find out if Charles Leno can play. Particularly because Jermon Bushrod hasn’t played well recently either. The defense allowed a struggling Lions offense 474 yards, 34

points and Matt Stafford’s best game of the year with a 116.0 passer rating. Grades seem a bit silly, don’t they? Jared Allen benefited from getting to play against undrafted rookie free-agent Cornelius Lucas but, regardless, he played his best game of the year. The rest of the defense was below average to awful. Another player who needs to join Mills on the bench is Shea McClellin. McClellin is usually in the wrong place, looks clueless on the blitz and shows no instincts for the position. Whatever Phil Emery thought he was getting, it’s time to waive the white flag. Unfortunately, Christian Jones didn’t look a whole lot better and Jon Bostic just didn’t make anywhere near enough plays in 74 snaps. The rookies in the secondary have to concern you a bit at this point, too. Calvin Johnson makes everybody look bad, but Kyle Fuller really didn’t compete against him Thursday, and Brock Vereen played flat-out timid and doesn’t appear all that excited about contact. I realize there are four games left to play, but the Lions’ tape more than anything feels like a sad exclamation point on a terribly disappointing season.

ACCOUNTING Ryan VanderKoy

Still ways to reduce taxes before year end As another year draws to a close, there may still be opportunities to reduce your 2014 taxes. Tax planning can be beneficial regardless of your income level or the complexity of your taxes. A few simple steps can do much to reduce your tax bill, or increase your refund, on April 15.

Maximize retirement contributions: One of the most effective methods to reduce taxable income is to maximize retirement contributions. If you participate in a 401(k) plan through your employer, you may defer a maximum of $17,500 ($23,000 if you are older than 50) to your 401(k) plan for 2014. You may have signed a document indicating that a certain percentage of each paycheck will be withdrawn for 401(k) contributions each paycheck. However, employers will often allow employees to modify this percentage. This can be a particularly effective option if you will receive a year-end bonus. You also may be eligible to contribute to a traditional or Roth IRA account. The maximum contribution for 2014 for IRA accounts is $5,500 ($6,500 if you are older than 50). Keep in mind that you may not be eligible to make an IRA contribution if you participate in a workplace retirement plan and your income is too high. IRA contributions may be made for 2014 retroactively through April 15, so consult with your tax accountant to see if an IRA contribution would be advantageous for you. Individuals with adjusted gross income of less than $30,000 may be eligible for a credit of up to $1,000, and married couples with adjusted gross income of less than $60,000 may be eligible for a credit of up to $2,000 on their tax returns for making retirement plan contributions in addition to the normal tax savings. Here are some additional planning opportunities: • If you have an eligible high deductible health plan, make additional contributions to a Health Savings Account before year end. For 2014, individuals with an eligible high deductible health plan may contribute up to $3,300 ($6,550 for family coverage) into a Health Savings Account. • Make charitable contributions to eligible charitable organizations before year end if you itemize your deductions. • Consider using a credit card to pay deductible expenses (such as charitable contributions) before the end of the year. Doing so will increase your 2014 deductions even if you don’t pay your credit card bill until after the end of the year. • If you have been unemployed, or your income is down for any reason in 2014, consider converting assets in a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. This does increase your taxable income for the year, but if your income is minimal, you may be able to pay little tax to transfer your retirement funds to a tax free Roth account. • Consider making contributions to an Illinois Bright Start or Illinois Bright education savings account. If you live in Illinois, contributions to a Bright Start account for anyone are tax deductible up to a total of $10,000 a year ($20,000 for married filing joint), and you pay no tax on earnings and withdrawals that cover qualified education expenses. • If you have had a large gain from security sales in 2014, consider selling other security holdings at a loss to offset gains. You can sell the original holding and then buy back the same security 31 days later to take advantage of the tax loss. • You can exclude certain gifts up to $14,000 per recipient each year ($28,000 per recipient if your spouse elects to split the gift with you) without depleting any of your gift tax exemption. Consider making gifts to reduce your taxable estate. • If you think you will still owe taxes, consider having your employer increase your federal and state withholdings on your remaining paychecks. The withheld tax will be applied pro rata over the full 2014 tax year to reduce penalties on underpayments of estimated tax. Tax planning is never a one-sizefits-all approach. A strategy that works well for one person may not work for another.

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com HARVARD – Winter could be rough on the former Motorola campus in Harvard. After years of heating, maintaining and paying the property taxes on the vacant corporate campus at 2001 N. Division St., the Miami company that owns it has stopped doing so. A Chicago company recently secured a lien on the 1.5-million-square-foot building after Miami-based Optima Ventures failed to pay more than $300,000 in property taxes this fall. Electricity at the former Motorola building has been turned off since the spring. In May, ComEd filed a lawsuit against Optima seeking more than $50,000. Without heat, the cold winter temperatures could damage the building infrastructure, said Charles Eldredge, executive director of the Harvard Economic Development Corp. “I was told they do not intend to turn the heat on,” Eldredge said Wednesday after accompanying real estate brokers who were showing the property to potential buyers on a chilly tour of the campus.

An aerial view of the former Motorola campus in Harvard. Owner Optima Ventures failed to pay more than $300,000 in property taxes to the county this fall. “That’s not good for the building, but it will really depend on how well they’ve drained the water. If it was done well, then the effect will be minor. If not, then there could be very substantial plumbing damage come spring.” It’s not clear what Optima Ventures plans to do with the property. A message left for officials at the

Miami company wasn’t returned. However, the property is being marketed. Four groups have looked at the building one or more times in recent months, Eldredge said. And the price has been dropped to $15 million, although Eldredge said it fluctuates and is ultimately up to the owner. “I presume [the groups] have

some level of interest if they are looking at the property,” he said. “All the gawkers and tire-kickers have gone.” Optima International bought the building in 2008 for $16.75 million. The Midwest Corporate Campus has 1.5 million square feet through four connected buildings. Amenities include a fitness center with a dance room, two child-care centers, nine elevators, a keyless security system, a 500-seat auditorium, a 1,100-person capacity cafeteria, miles of biking and running trails and two heliports (one rooftop, one ground level). The campus has 6,000 parking spaces and 28 underground executive parking spaces. It has been vacant since 2003. A marketing brochure for the property notes the replacement cost of the facility is more than $250 million, “and the facility is available immediately at well below this cost.” Marketing materials don’t list an asking price for the campus. So far, efforts to fill the property – with everything from a major company to a water park and a prison – haven’t been successful.

‘We fought hard to survive’ Back from brink, Johnsburg’s Radicom catches new wave to growth By SARAH STRZALKA editorial@nwherald.com JOHNSBURG – Radicom is a small company in a small town, but with clients such as Metra and PACE, it does big business. A 5,000 square-foot building on Chapel Hill Road has been home to Radicom since 1969 – decades before Johnsburg had even become a village. That same year, Phil Bartmann came on board as a part-time technician; three years later he was full time. He eventually bought the company in a partnership with the founder’s son. The 15-employee business designs, installs and services communication systems for public safety organizations throughout northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. The business was built on twoway radios and working for RCA, which was taken over by General Electric. As ownership continued to change hands, Radicom continued to stay on board, now working with Harris Corp. to provide radio communication for first responders. It’s a relationship that helped Radicom stay afloat. “They have come up with some

To fix finances, make your budget the boss Dear Dave, My husband and I are following your plan, and we’re trying to reconcile our on-paper budget with what’s going on in our bank account. Most of our bills are due the first half of the month, but we receive most of our income during the second half of the month. Can you help us figure out what to do?

– Kathy

Dear Kathy, If you’re actually making a budget and sticking to it, what you’re describing is a cash flow bind. You are in charge of your budget until it’s on paper. Once it’s on paper, it has to accurately represent reality. In your reality, that means a cash

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey flow strain on the first checks and extra money on the second checks. You won’t be able to fix this in just one month, but there is a long-term solution. Move some of the money from your second checks into the first half of the next month. By doing this, you’ll start running from the 15th to the 15th instead of from the first to the first. It will help you stay ahead and avoid getting pinched. The second part of this equation is that you are in charge of your

budget. The budget does not become the boss of you until you get it done. When everything is written and agreed on by you and your husband, that’s when the budget becomes the boss. You can’t come home with a new shirt or a new purse and hope it fits into the plan. The budget has to be the plumb line by which you build your finances straight and true.

– Dave

Dear Dave, My husband and I both work two jobs. Together we make about $53,000 a year, and we’re trying to get out of debt. We have $35,000 in debt, and most of that is on our truck. I’d like to go back to school and become an ultrasound techni-

cian, so we’ll have more money. Do you think this is a good idea?

– Sarah

Dear Sarah, Getting more education is always a good idea. For starters, I’d begin doing some research to find out what ultrasound technicians in your area are earning. Then, look into the cost of training at a nearby school. But I would only recommend starting school after you guys have done some work and cleaned up your finances. You’ve got a bunch of debt hanging over your heads, and the truck you mentioned is a big part of the problem. Sell the truck and move down to something very inexpensive to drive

for a little while. Then tear into the remainder of the debt and get it paid off as fast as you can. After that, save up a bunch of money so you can go to school debt-free. I know that may seem like a long time before you can start school, but chances are you can get this done in less than two years. And trust me, going to school debt-free will feel a whole lot better than having another bunch of payments buzzing around your heads for years to come.

With business improving, Radicom CEO plans to retire

FACES & PLACES

“Whether it’s public safety, a farmer that’s got a $150,000 machine down, or a warehouse that has 20 forklifts running around, they need to know exactly what’s going on now, this second,” Bartmann said. “They don’t have time to dial a number and hope the person will answer.” Bartmann plans to retire next month and hand the operation over to the current executive vice president and chief operating officer, Bob Leuders, although Bartmann still will have an office. He believes he’s going out on a high note with business trending upward again, and a local award that shows it. Last month, Radicom tied with Huntley-based Tegel Design and was named a 2014 Business Champion by the McHenry County Economic Development Corp. in Division 1 for companies with fewer than 25 employees. “We survived long enough to be in the right place in the right time with the right product,” Bartmann said. “We had the product that some of the other movers and shakers in our business needed and that helped tremendously.”

Continued from page D1 With the help of Harris’ product, Radicom is back up to 15 employees, with plans to add more. Two-way radios are frequency specific, meaning if someone had a VHF, or very high frequency radio, they must communicate with another VHF radio, Bartmann said. For example, local fire departments were on VHF, while hospitals were on UHF, or ultra-high frequency. So an ambulance would have to be equipped with two radios: one to talk to dispatch and another to communicate with the hospital. “Harris came out with a product that was all bands; one radio could provide communication on all those bands,” Bartmann said. How does the company stay relevant now that so many people have smartphones? Cellphones don’t give instant communication, Bartmann said, which is why many people are coming back to the immediate capability that two-way radios provide.

Chicago company ‘almost certain’ lien will be redeemed • TAX LIEN Continued from page D1 Chicago-based First National Assets, a specialty financing private equity group that acquires and services tax lien certificate portfolios, bought the property’s unpaid taxes at auction Oct. 24, said Glenda Miller, chief deputy McHenry County treasurer. Another company bought the taxes on vacant land adjacent to the building. To remove the lien from the building, Optima would have to get an estimate of redemption from the county and then pay $333,307.05 plus 3 percent interest to the tax buyer, Miller said. The interest rate doubles every six months. Optima could lose the property if the lien isn’t redeemed after more than two years. But that is rare, Miller said.

Northwest Herald file photo

The vacant former Motorola campus in October. “The owner has two years to pay off the tax lien,” said Jim Finnerty, tax lien portfolio manager for Chicagobased First National Assets. “It’s almost certain they will redeem it.” Eldredge said tax buyers “are interested in getting paid interest, not acquiring

real estate.” He also said the tax lien wouldn’t hamper the sale of the property, though the lien would have to be removed before the title could change hands. However, he said liens are “very routine in commercial real estate.” City officials don’t think

the property will rapidly deteriorate and become blighted, Harvard City Administrator David Nelson said. “We have a very good relationship with the broker,” he said. “We’d like to see it put to good use and see people working there, but we don’t own the property. We’re just along for the ride.” Eldredge said he couldn’t speculate on Optima’s level of interest in the property. “Everyone can make their own judgment,” he said. “Obviously, [Optima’s] enthusiasm for the building would be perceived as greater if they turned the utilities on. On the other hand, operating the building as they have is very costly.” He estimated the property taxes on the building “were relatively small compared to other costs” such as heating and maintaining the building.

Life coach Adrienne Masler says one of the biggest risks people take in their careers is worrying about success and failure, because it keeps them from seeing their career paths. “Believing you’ve failed can make you feel ashamed and defeated, so you’re less likely to learn from your experience.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - If you face sensitive issues head-on, you won’t be bogged down with tedious arguments and tension this year. The longer you postpone the inevitable, the harder it will be to change what’s troubling you. Recognize what needs to be done and make your move. Take control. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Financial losses will plague you if your records aren’t up-to-date. Revisit ﬁnancial contracts and agreements in order to ensure that you haven’t overlooked an important detail. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Someone will reach out to you for help. Your

other responsibilities will suffer if you don’t make arrangements to ensure that nothing is neglected. Your diligence will be impressive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Consistency is key. Indecision will confuse and annoy those around you. Decide what is best for you and act accordingly. Timing is crucial. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Mistakes are likely if you don’t keep your emotions in check. Take time to rationally think matters through before you make a rash move that could be costly. Don’t make a ﬁnancial commitment. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be

truthful. You can avoid a misunderstanding if you stick to the facts. The more you try to embellish the truth, the worse off you will be. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t be too free with your cash. You can make a greater impression with your personality than your wallet. If you have to buy someone’s love, it’s not worth it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t offer more than you are prepared to give. Be candid regarding your personal and professional dealings. Boastfulness or exaggeration will come back to haunt you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you are

open and accepting, you will reap the benefits of an unexpected opportunity. Good fortune is headed your way. Enjoy the moment and the popularity that will come with it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t take risks with your hard-earned cash. Impulse purchases and overindulgence will deplete your bank account and increase your stress level. Think before you spend or act out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t wait for someone else to make the first move. The choice you make will influence your emotional and personal well-being, so step up and be the one who makes a decision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Once issues are out in the open, you will be able to resolve any problems that have been bedeviling you. Refusing to discuss what’s going on will not lead to happiness. Stop wafﬂing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You will impress someone special if you do something out of the ordinary. Show your fun side and use your imagination; you won’t be disappointed at the results you get.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Two Sundays before Thanksgiving, my farming partner and I brought a live turkey in a burlap sack to our urban farm on the outskirts of Portland. The lanky brown-feathered bird quietly took her place in our chicken coop. The turkey was intended to become Thanksgiving dinner, but she had other plans. It was unusually cold, and in our haste we forgot to clip the turkey’s feathers. So one day last week, Turkey escaped the coop and flew above our suburban street to the top of a tree in the neighbor’s backyard. Our attempts to shoo her from the branches could not convince Turkey to come down. My partner and I have raised chickens, goats and ducks in Portland for the past five years. We keep animals because we love interacting with them, eggs and milk being added benefits. Occasionally we’ve made chicken soup out of a rooster, but we rarely eat our flock. Still, I’d much rather eat a happy turkey that lived its life out on a small farm than a frozen industrial turkey deprived of space and sunlight. So the next day, we dragged a ladder to the tree and my partner Ali clambered up, but as soon as she got near the turkey, the beast clucked in alarm and soared off. We stood awed by the height and distance of its flight – Turkey alighted on top of a very tall pine, which we couldn’t possibly climb. There she remained, despite the wind, cold and our pleas. The escape was collectively funny, sad, and mildly embarrassing. It wasn’t a complete surprise: we’ve had our share of breakouts with goats and chickens. Still, the bird’s yearning for survival gnawed at us. We faced a moral dilemma: If Turkey stayed in the tree, it could die of cold and starvation or be captured by a cat or raccoon. But if we rescued the bird, we would eat her within a week. Which was more humane? Standing under that tree and cajoling Turkey to descend, I felt like the fox in Aesop’s Fable waiting for the cheese to fall. There was a more practical question, too: How do you get a turkey out of a tree? Call the firefighters? Animal control? Put up posters and offer a bounty? Paging Portlandia! Our lives had inadvertently turned into an episode of

A turkey brought home by Associated Press reporter Gosia Wozniacka stands in its coop at Wozniacka’s home in Portland, Ore. Wozniacka had brought the live turkey in a burlap sack to her urban farm on the outskirts of Portland. Although intended to be Thanksgiving dinner, the turkey had other plans. the TV show that pokes fun at Portland, including its unbound penchant for urban farming. Friends suggested gobbling loudly, spreading turkey snacks under the tree, spraying the bird with a hose or (gulp) finding a hunter to shoot her down. One recommended buying a turkey caller at a hunting store. Another told us turkeys have a keen sense of smell, so a turkey decoy might be our only chance. Many friends pleaded that Turkey had earned her freedom. Others supported talking her down sweetly, then eating her. Still others told us to “let the spirit of Thanksgiving decide.” Three days after the bird first escaped, I went to do a welfare check on Turkey, only to find her gone. I inspected all area pines, played turkey calls on my cellphone – to no avail. We figured that was the end of it. Turkey had flown away looking for food, or had joined a wild flock escaping Thanksgiving madness. But that afternoon, a neighbor called – Turkey had been spotted in her front lawn, doing what turkeys do, pecking. Ali reached home when it was already dark. Flashlight in hand, she spent half an hour searching our oneacre animal pasture before suddenly

seeing Turkey perched on the fence a few feet away. The bird was asleep, but woke up, startled by the flashlight’s beam. Ali turned off the light and backed away. She crouched close to the ground and sat in silence, immobile, before inching her way toward Turkey and clucking. Ali’s clucks visibly calmed the bird. Then snap, she reached her hand up and grabbed the turkey’s leg. The bird flapped and tried to fly away, but Ali didn’t let go. She clipped her wings, and put her back in the chicken coop. That evening, we decided that given Turkey’s travails, we couldn’t possibly eat her. We decided to pardon her and keep her on our farm. I called the grocery store to order a frozen turkey for Thanksgiving. Despite what we saw as a happy ending, Turkey seemed distressed. She sulked around the coop, refusing to eat or drink. She didn’t mix with the other animals. Maybe she didn’t understand her life had been spared. Then we figured she might just be lonely. So we made the trek to another farm and bought a turkey tom for our girl. This time, we clipped his wings right away.

Early warning signs LITH woman folds nonprofit before tests reveal lupus diagnosis By SARAH STRZALKA editorial@nwherald.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The tests were negative, but Julianne Taylor’s body was still telling her something was wrong. In 2002, Taylor started the nonprofit Working Class Dogs, training service dogs for children and adults with disabilities in what she called “the best job in the world.” She brought the dogs to Johnsburg High School and worked with at-risk kids. Seven years later, the economy was taking its toll, as was the exhaustion. “I stopped because of the economy, but also I was exhausted,” said Taylor, 43. “I assumed it was because I was working so much. Twelve- to 14-hour days, seven days a week. Now I’m looking back

saying maybe that was some of the early signs and symptoms.” She finished placing the dogs she had trained and then shut down Working Class Dogs. The following year, 2010, is when she became very sick. Still, it wasn’t until this past spring that the tests came back positive for systemic lupus erythematosus. According to the Lupus Foundation of America, lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body including skin, joints and organs. The immune system cannot tell the difference between healthy tissues and “invaders” such as viruses, bacteria and germs, and begins to attack the healthy tissues.

See LUPUS, page 4

Jesse Taylor (left), 14, is picked up from school by his mother, Julianne Taylor, at Westfield School in Lake in the Hills. Julianne has lupus and formerly ran Working Class Dogs, which trained service dogs for adults and children with disabilities. When the economy went downhill and she became more symptomatic, she had to fold the nonprofit. Sarah Nader – snader@ shawmedia.com

“I think it’s really important that people become aware of what lupus is because we need funding. No, it’s not cancer, but it’s horrible.” Julianne Taylor of Lake in the Hills, who was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus

Taylor’s goals: limit flare-ups, remission • LUPUS Continued from page 3 There is no cure, only treatment. While lupus can be fatal, 80 to 90 percent of people with it can expect to live a normal life span, according to the Lupus Foundation. “I think it’s really important that people become aware of what lupus is because we need funding,” Taylor said. “No, it’s not cancer, but it’s horrible.” For Taylor, the lupus has affected multiple parts of her body, including her hands, hips and ankles. The nerverich sacroiliac joint in her tailbone sometimes becomes inflamed, making it difficult to sit. Narcotics for the pain often dull her cognitive function. There also was debilitating exhaustion to the point where it was difficult to even shower, making her reliant on friends to do her grocery shopping. Until recently, she had been living in Lake in

the Hills; she’s temporarily staying with a friend in Beach Park. Taylor, a single mom, has two children: a daughter who lives on her own and a 14-year-old son. One of the hardest aspects of dealing with a chronic illness is not being able to do everything she wants to do for him. “I feel horrible because … sometimes some burden falls to him,” she said. “I can’t take him to a lot of things and I can’t be a soccer mom. As a mother, you want to give your kids everything they want and I just can’t do that for him.” With some new medication, Taylor has seen the pain decrease. Her goal is to limit flare-ups and go into remission. “I have a certain limited amount of energy,” she said. “I’m trying to push against what my limits are to get stronger, but not so much that I end up relapsing and am in bed for two days. I’m not done yet.”

Lighting is used to create atmosphere of warmth and charm evocative of the holiday season by Restoration Hardware.

Holiday decor trends go from vintage to city chic By KIM COOK The Associated Press For those who love to decorate, there’s no time like the holidays for adding fun, festive touches to our living spaces. This year, there’s something for many tastes and styles. A look at the trends you’ll see at stores:

Christmas past The 1920s inspire a lot of holiday decor, with West Elm offering glittery Art Deco letter ornaments and star garlands, as well as Deco-patterned, mercury-glass hurricanes in silver and midnight blue. Elegant, gold, blown-glass animals fit the vibe. Throw pillows and signs printed with a vintage-style chalkboard Christmas greeting hold charm at Pottery Barn, where the design also is available in a door mat. Here too, a decorative collection of old-fashioned village homes, churches and schoolhouses evokes turn-of-the-century German ornaments similarly made of cardboard and silver glitter. Purchases from the collection support shelters nationwide through the Give a Little Hope organization. For a more midcentury look, consider Crate & Barrel’s teardrop ornaments in a

sexy, red matte glass. If you’re into making some of your own midcentury modern Christmas decorations, check out the DIY Network’s website for suggestions including stockings and ornaments.

City sparkle “This year I’m seeing deep, rich hues,” designer Taniya Nayak said. “Think sapphire, deep emerald and sexy violet. The real wow factor rolls in with the metallic touches. There is a cool juxtaposition that happens when you mix the sophisticated richness of jewel tones and the medley of copper patina and copper shine.” Pier 1’s peacock-inspired tree skirt anchors a collection of vibrant ornaments in faceted glass, sequins or feathers. There are accent pillows on the market this year decorated with glitter, bugle beads, sequins or metallic embroidery thread. Look for snowflake or tree motifs, or seasonal words like “Noel” and “Joy.” One or two on an entryway bench greet guests with panache; Target and Homegoods have nicely priced options. Z Gallerie has the glamorous Folly collection of white and gold pearl wreaths, table trees and garlands, as well as crystal flower spheres and ornaments in trendy turquoise.

Clark Griswold would be proud. Thanks to advances in lighting technology, suburban dads (and moms) across the country have a lot to choose from when it comes to creative ways to deck their halls for the holidays this year. Forget about white incandescent lights and animatronic reindeer. Think lasers. Think smartphones. And hundreds, if not millions, of color choices.

Single light bulbs that hold three LEDs – red, green and blue – are the secret behind a new category of holiday lights that offer up to 16 million color combinations. Known as RGB lights, they can be dialed up or down in a variety of ways via a smartphone app. And because their color range is so varied, they can be kept up year-round and used for any number of holidays – Halloween, the Fourth of July, Easter, you name it. Lumenplay offers the most colors by far at more than 16 million. The exotic lighting system doesn’t come cheap ($79.99 for a starter pack) and is only available in 10foot strands. But you can string as many as 500 lights together on one controller, which comes with the starter pack. GE also offers RGB lighting technology with its new iTwinkle light sets and pre-lit Christmas trees, while Texas-based decorating firm Christmas Décor is offering the lights as an option for holiday customers this year.

‘Smart’ lights All the talk of RGB technology leads right into the next holiday lighting trend this year – “smart” lights or lighting systems controlled by your smartphone. Both the Lumenplay and iTwinkle systems are operated via apps available for Apple and Android phones. With just a swipe of your screen, you can dim or brighten outdoor lights, set them to music or choose new colors and patterns. With iTwinkle, you can even record a greeting to play, like “Happy Holidays” or “Merry Christmas,” spokeswoman Amanda Hayes says. Most of these apps have a range of up to 150 feet, meaning you can control the action from across the yard or while plopped on your couch watching “It’s A Wonderful Life” (or the Griswolds in “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”) for the 10th time. “No longer do you have to venture

Recovering addict must fight battle without family Dear Abby: I am a former drama queen and addict now enjoying longterm sobriety, or trying to. What’s missing in my life is my family. Since returning from rehab, I have been “going it alone” – and I’m not sure why. My kids are the only grandchildren in the family. I work and go to school. I am pleasant. There have been some rough spots I have had to deal with, and when I have needed to, I have called my mom or sister, but they don’t call me or visit. They have expressed no love for me through all of this. When I call, I feel like I’m intruding. Aren’t I entitled to their love and caring? I feel abandoned. It’s hard doing things on my own. My family lives close by, so distance isn’t the issue. What am I missing? I want my kids and me to have a family, but when I try to reach out,

I end up hurt by their lack of interest. Should I just get on with my life? I have been going through this for years. – Moving On In Florida Dear Moving On: It’s possible that the “drama” and turmoil you put your family through while in the throes of your addiction is the reason your mother and sister avoid you. They may be reluctant to take a chance again. Because they have made it plain that they aren’t interested in a closer relationship with you and your children, you should absolutely get on with your life. Sobriety isn’t easy to attain, and you have every right to enjoy yours to the fullest. It would be healthier for you to stop courting rejection and “create” a caring family for yourself and your children. Many people do this for a variety of reasons. It’s not unusual for people in recovery to socialize with

others like themselves. Start there, because it would be better for all of you to spend your time with people who welcome and appreciate you. Dear Abby: My fiancé, “Bryan,” is a mama’s boy. There’s nothing wrong with loving your parents and being close to them, but his family takes it to the extreme. Bryan must see them multiple times a week, call and text them all the time, and they still don’t get enough. Then they usually call wanting something or needing our help. Bryan and I have worked hard to get where we are, and we can’t always be at their beck and call. His sister says I have “changed him” because he doesn’t come around as often anymore. I’m 21 and Bryan is 24. I don’t think he realizes that growing up means leaving the nest and detaching from the family a bit. I understand

closeness, but if I’m going to be his wife, I’m scared I won’t come first. What happens if we have a child who needs him, but Bryan has to bail his mama out of something? – Getting

Worried In Georgia Dear Getting Worried: Do not wait until you have a child to find out that the two of you will never agree on this. Find out now. Sometimes the most important conversations are the most difficult to engage in. You and Bryan need to have a serious talk about how you feel about his relationship with his parents and sister, because unless you come to a mutual understanding, it will become a source of constant irritation after you two are married, and you will both be unhappy.

Happiness found through gratitude and giving I have noticed that people who have the most are not usually the people who are the most grateful, and grateful seems to translate roughly to happiness. Maybe you have to lose some things in life to be able to appreciate more fully what you have. Maybe if you don’t have much to begin with, you don’t have big expectations and don’t start with an entitled attitude. Nevertheless, my observation is that a grateful attitude and a grateful heart seems to make for a happy life. “James” never had much as a kid but always felt the need to prove himself, pushing to go beyond what his parents had accomplished. His parents were simple,

humble people who worked hard and did what they could for the children. James, they said, could never have enough. He always wanted more, and when he got it, he wanted even more. He stepped into a sales position in his early 20s and was a rising star. He soon had everything a young man could want, but oddly, he felt lonely and empty. He couldn’t help secretly feeling like a fraud and like he didn’t really deserve what he had. He didn’t know he was propping up his low self-esteem by feeding his over-inflated ego. This is where the booze and drugs came in. The more he accomplished, the more he wanted – possessions, power, sex

and substances. The more he accumulated, the more fearful he became of losing what he had. James became more isolated, afraid that people only wanted his money or were trying to steal his prestige. The more he felt these things, the more he drank and used drugs, until his decision-making began to become affected and his business career began to collapse. James went from his idea of “the top” and ended up at the bottom. With few friends, living on nearly maxed out credit cards and driving fancy leased vehicles whose payments were overdue, he was having a harder and harder time keeping up the façade. He would tell people about the “next big deal,”

even though there was no such thing in sight. His money, what little of it there was, was going to bottles and bags instead of the expensive nightclubs whose owners used to know him by his first name. At age 33, living in a downtown YMCA, James reached out for help. He called the number for Alcoholics Anonymous, and they sent a couple of men out to visit. They told him about their struggles and losses and invited him to a meeting. He went. The rest, as they say, is history. James had virtually nothing, but he found peace, something he’d never had. He found relief that he didn’t need to prove himself to anybody and that he could just

be a worker among workers. He found happiness in helping himself, getting honest and “right-sized,” and then began helping others. The phrase he heard was, “don’t think less of yourself, just think of yourself less.” Through sobriety, James found peace and a sense of belonging. He learned that happiness, for him, wasn’t through material accumulation but through gratitude and giving.

Gem Talk

By Karly Bulinski

Every year, while our family is sitting around the Thanksgiving dinner table, each person gets a chance to tell what it is that they are thankful for. In addition to fantastic topics of conversation, we get a chance to let it be known how truly grateful we are to those that we love. Over the years, our Thanksgiving dinner table has shrunk, with all the grandchildren growing up and moving away or having to split their time equally between their in-laws and us. That’s why I would like to dedicate this Gem Talk to the two amazing women that I am thankful for this year…my Mom and my Aunt Sue. First my mom, with whom without I would never have become the person that I am today! My mom has supported me through every crazy dream that I have ever gotten, and if you know me even a little bit, you know there have been some pretty crazy ones. I mean just a few weeks ago I had decided I wanted to go to law school and instead of laughing at me she said, “Go for it…I always thought you’d be a good lawyer.” She has been my biggest fan throughout my entire life; from the years of tumbling meets to college to watching me raise my own 2 kids she has been there for me since day one. I am truly blessed to have the love and support of this wonderful woman…Thank you mom for raising me and continuing to support me every day of my life! I love you! I am also thankful for the other amazingly strong and inﬂuential woman in my life…my Aunt Sue. Without her guidance in my life, I would never have become a Gemologist. She offered me a job at our family store 3 years ago and sent me to the GIA so I could learn about the wonderful world of gemology. She believed in my ability to learn a new ﬁeld and with her support I became a jewelry appraiser. I am continually learning new things from her every day and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you for all the opportunities that you have opened up for me! I love you! I don’t know what my future holds, but I know that it is bright because of these two remarkable women that I am proud to call my role models! I love you both very much. Happy Thanksgiving everyone…now let’s bring on Christmas.

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

“HORRIBLE BOSSES 2” STARRING: Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day PLOT: Dale, Kurt and Nick decide to start their own business, but things don’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: Having haplessly tried to murder their bosses in the first “Horrible Bosses,” Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis return in “Horrible Bosses 2” as hopeful inventors. “Let’s bet on ourselves,” they tell each other, making a clearly questionable wager. They go into business with a bath product dubbed “Shower Buddy,” and with their abysmal guest spot on a morning show promoting it, it’s clear they may have backed the wrong horse. While the first “Horrible Bosses” 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 film’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. “Horrible Bosses 2,” 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, isn’t dynamic enough. So “Horrible Bosses 2” 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, it’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 today’s workplaces could use the levity. Someone should have given “Horrible Bosses” a real job.

“THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR”

LOCAL SHOWTIMES STARRING: Tom McGrath, Chris

“BEYOND THE LIGHTS”

“HORRIBLE BOSSES 2”

“NIGHTCRAWLER”

Miller, Christopher Knights 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 that’s more paint by numbers than Picasso, “Penguins of Madagascar” begins with something completely unexpected: a Werner Herzog voiceover. Parodying his own work and documentary films’ obsession with the flightless birds, the German filmmaker gives an auspiciously clever start to a movie targeted toward the younger than 10 set. It’s a little wink to the adults in the audience right at the front. But don’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 “Madagascar” films. Parents: probably less so. In this golden age of animation, it’s especially difficult to become an instant classic. “Penguins of Madagascar” does 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 there’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. “Penguins of Madagascar” is a passible, inoffensive addition to DreamWorks Animation’s canon. – The

“THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 1” STARRING: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth PLOT: When Katniss destroys the games, she goes to District 13 after District 12 is destroyed. She meets President Coin, who convinces her to be the symbol of rebellion, while trying to save Peeta from the Capitol. RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some disturbing images and thematic material TIME: 2 hours, 3 minutes VERDICT: “Mockingjay – Part 1” is, ultimately, a slow-burn portrait of the repeated rise and fall of dystopia’s most reluctant hero, nimbly told through its examination of the mechanics of propaganda. In the Games, the goal

was simple: Keep Peeta alive. Now, Katniss is powerless, just a tool of the machine. Charred and fatally wounded bodies aside, “Mockingjay – Part 1” is not for the faint of heart when it comes to the relentless emotional torture of its heroine. Director Francis Lawrence, in his second outing in the franchise, stays fairly true to the original text, carrying over the war-torn bleakness of “Catching Fire” without any of the disturbing thrill of the Games. He sprinkles in a handful of fairly exciting action sequences (one of which was not

actually described in the book), but, he mostly allows the film to luxuriate in the quiet moments. Yet too many involve Katniss tearing up while sitting on piles of rubble. In its best moments, the movie has a tense, night before the battle feel. Only the battle is still a year away. Ever since the “Harry Potter” juggernaut split their final story into two separate films, it’s become standard practice in Hollywood for every successful franchise, regardless of whether or not the story is there. “Mockingjay - Part 1” is a serviceable

entry into the conclusion of Katniss’s saga. It boasts some imaginative visuals, a few truly thrilling moments, and standout performances from Lawrence, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, to whom the film is dedicated. Still, even with Hoffman’s subtly brilliant reaction shots, it does not seem to be the type of movie that fans will revisit on its own. This half is part of a whole in the most cynical way. You say you want a revolution? They’ll get to that next year. – The Associated Press
