WOODSTOCK – A 10-year-old agreement to house federal detainees in the county jail is a ticking time bomb, some McHenry County officials said, as disagreements over math have left some questioning whether local taxpayers are subsidizing the federal detention program.

The agreement inked with the U.S. Marshals Service and Immigration and Customs Coming Enforcement is set to exMonday pire in October.

Better known as the bed-rental program, for n Day 2 will years it was considered a take a closer boon for the county. Since look inside 2005, the program has the immigrabrought in $73.2 million, tion detainee according to figures pro- program. vided by county officials.

This was on top of the $6.4 million that was authorized to finish the third floor of the jail, which was just a shell when the deal was signed in 2003.

As for ICE, which historically has filled the most beds in the jail, the sharing program also has been beneficial. “[ICE] enjoys a positive relationship with McHenry County Jail as we work toward the common goal of providing a safe, secure and sanitary detention facility for individuals in ICE custody,” the agency said in a statement.

But it appears that relationship is beginning to sour – at least locally – as county officials debate whether the program is costing local taxpayers, and if so, how much.

The problem is, the math is quite murky.

The problem with the math It’s a seemingly simple question, but one with many different answers.

Ask county officials what it costs to house an inmate each day at the McHenry County Jail and you’re not likely to get a straight answer.

Over and over: “There are too many variables.”

“It’s fluid.”

‘Mitigating the awfulness’ CASA volunteer sees tough situations, tries to smooth process

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com HARVARD – The children Nancy Wright helps are often in terrible situations.

The 85-year-old resident of unincorporated Harvard has volunteered as a court-appointed special advocate for children through Court Appointed Special Advocates of McHenry County since the program started in 2005.

“I wouldn’t want children to ever be in those situations,”

mation the court has as well as a court order that authorizes schools, day cares and physicians to release all the information a birth parent would be entitled to.

The advocates use that information to prepare reports before each court hearing.

They also attend each hearing in case the judge has any questions.

“You take a deep breath, and you panic: ‘Who me? Do that? Oh no, I don’t think so,’ ” Wright said, recalling her first

Wright said. “There is a sense that, in a small way, you’re mitigating the awfulness of their situation.”

Advocates are appointed to children placed into temporary foster care, often as the result of abuse or neglect.

They follow the child or children as they move through the legal process with the end hope being a permanent situation, long-term foster care, adoption by a family member or adoption by a new family.

They’re given all the infor-

case assignment. “But once you make the first phone call and introduce yourself and – at that time, explain the program – it doesn’t seem quite as daunting.”

Wright had signed up to be an advocate in the fall of 2005 after reading that the program would be starting in McHenry County.

At that time, the staff of CASA of McHenry County numbered one, just Executive

HUNTLEY – After seeing record economic development in 2014, Huntley officials will look to secure a hotel in 2015, as they continue to try and draw a diverse mix of businesses along Route 47.

Village Manager Dave Johnson told the Northwest Herald that his staff will analyze potential locations and actively market a hotel in 2015. A quality hotel could spur additional commercial investment and encourage businesses to locate in Huntley, he said.

No hotels or motels are currently located within the village.

“We know we have to get to a point where we establish a critical mass to be able to support facilities, restaurants, hotels,” Johnson said. “But we also believe not having those facilities may be holding us back.”

Officials are looking for ways to build off the record $188 million commercial and residential developers poured into Huntley in 2014.

Throughout the year, village officials saw Centegra Health System start building its $233 million Huntley hospital, the maker of Weber Grills expand its Huntley facilities and four new restaurants and businesses open along Route 47.

Although their sights are set on a hotel, officials are aware that market conditions, land availability and developer interest all influence how quickly the village could see a project completed, Johnson said.

“It’s a challenging initiative.

We certainly don’t have anything in the works that make us believe something is going to happen tomorrow,” Johnson said. “But we do believe a hotel is an important part of keeping the momentum going.”

Glab said he does not think there is any single issue that is inspiring more people to run this year, but said there could be a general desire to see a more proactive council.

“I think to some extent there is some complacency on certain issues people feel upset about,” Glab said. “Different people have different issues. There are too many issues out there that need to be addressed by an active City Council.”

Wright has been assigned to 4 cases and 6 children • CASA Continued from page A5 Director Kelly Pokharel. It now employs six people and has 130 trained volunteer advocates.

“She’s a very sweet person,” Pokharel said. “She is incredibly intelligent. She always has the best interests of the child in mind. She will go above and beyond to be there for the child, and go above and beyond to make sure she gets all the information so she can really, truly advocate for the child.”

Pokharel recalled a child whom Wright had advocated for who had multiple medical issues. Wright would go into Chicago for the child’s doctors appointments.

Wright had done similar work about 20 years earlier in Chicago, volunteering as a legal guardian for developmentally disabled adults without family.

The work was good preparation for her new role as an ad-

vocate. Some child advocates are appointed to help children who have developmental disabilities.

“People are waiting in line to adopt a cute, little, healthy baby or toddler, but not so much someone with developmental disabilities,” Wright said. “CASA can’t cure problems, but I do think CASA can make the process a little smoother.”

Wright has been assigned to four cases and six children since she started with CASA of McHenry County. One of the cases ran almost seven years, she said, adding that two years tends to be more standard.

Some of the situations have turned out wonderfully, she said. Other times she’s left wondering what the best solution would be.

Why Haven’t Neuropathy Sufferers Been Told These Facts?

Do you have any of the following symptoms?

• Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains

If so, you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral neuropathy, or “nerve damage,” is one of the most chronic conditions in the U.S., affecting over 20 million Americans.

Neuropathy results from injury to the nerves in the arms and legs.This disrupts the body’s ability to communicate with its muscles, organs and tissues. Most people don’t recognize neuropathy’s symptoms, which are: • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains These annoying problems may come and go...interrupt your sleep...or even make your arm or legs feel weak at times. But even if you’ve had neuropathy symptoms for a while, there are 3 common myths I often see with this condition.

do nothing about it will have either pain or disability 12 months later. Let’s face it, your neuropathy symptoms haven’t gone away by now, it’s not likely they will disappear on their own.And it’s been shown in studies that if ignored, symptoms can intensify causing loss of sensation, unremitting pain, and even disability.

What Other Professionals are saying about this program.

Myth #1: Thinking More Pills Are The Only Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method.

While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and anti-depressants -- all of which have serious side effects.

Why not look for a drugless solution instead of just covering over the pain?

Two deputies shot in Holiday Hills

Three deputies responding to an Oct. 16 domestic dispute in Holiday Hills were met with a hail of bullets that wounded two of them.

Scott B. Peters, 52, faces multiple attempted first-degree murder counts for allegedly firing more than a dozen rounds at the deputies. He fled the scene, but was arrested peacefully 16 hours later and six miles away.

The wounded deputies, Dwight Maness and Khalia Satkiewicz, have since been released from the hospital.

Peters faces up to 165 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

His aunt, Katherine Kriepke, is charged with giving Peters the AR-15 rifle used in the attack – the state had earlier revoked Peters’ firearm owners identification card.

Some board members say cost to house detainees outpaces revenue • DEAL Continued from page A1 “It’s not simple arithmetic.”

“It’s not an easy answer.”

Here’s the sticking point: McHenry County must have a jail regardless, and that’s an expensive endeavor. So whatever revenue is brought in from the federal bed-rental program goes straight to the county coffers. It’s not easy to break out the associated costs, county officials said, because expenses such as heat, electricity, staffing, food and health are built into the overall jail budget, and can’t be attributed solely to the federal program.

Let County Administrator Peter Austin explain it: “It’s not fixed, it changes every day,” Austin said. “Truly, the cost of an inmate changes every day. ...

Our costs are pretty much the same each Peter Austin day, but the number of inmates changes each day, so by default, the cost of an inmate changes each day.

“Because we’re an Illinois county, we have to house inmates,” Austin said. “We have to have a jail. We have to have an intake unit. We have to have booking. We have to have a kitchen. We have to have drug-sniffing dogs. We have to have pepper spray and rapid response teams. We have to have all of this infrastructure to run a jail.”

In other words, as Austin said: “We have to turn the oven on whether we’re making 200 biscuits or 400 biscuits.”

Critics of the bed-rental program are pointing to a lobbyist report as the rallying cry to end the program. Some County Board members are saying that the cost to house a federal detainee far outpaces any revenue brought in.

Summerill report By 2008, the per diem rate charged to the federal government was $85. Although county officials could ask for a rate increase – and they did ask – there was nothing in the contract that said the feds were obligated to give them one – and they didn’t.

“There is no built-in schedule or rate increase. There’s nothing built in for [cost of living increases] or anything,” said David Devane, the new head of the county’s jail operations.

As the jail costs increased – particularly the cost of employing corrections officers – the per diem rate stagnated.

For a while, that was offset by a large number of daily de-

tainees. But that hasn’t been the case recently.

“We were making up for that real high volume for a while,” Austin said. “But that volume has tapered off.

The fact that we haven’t seen that number go up, has sort of made this problem bigger, and it’s made it more challenging.”

So, after routinely being rejected or ignored in their request for a higher daily bed rate, county officials tried something new. In April 2013, they hired lobbyist Joseph Summerill to plug in the county’s costs into a prescribed federal formula, kick out a suggested per diem, and make a pitch to the Marshals and ICE for an increase.

In a preliminary report to county officials in April 2013, before he was hired, Summerill’s math reflected the cost of an inmate each night was $131.38. Based on Summerill’s presentation, county taxpayers were on the hook for $46.38 a detainee a day.

That number has been troubling for some county leaders.

“We’re talking between $40 and $50 million over a seven-year period. … This never should have happened,” McHenry County Board member Donna Kurtz said.

“Government is not designed to be a consistent generator of positive cash flow with Donna Kurtz outside programs. Knowing what we know now, we shouldn’t have gotten into this jail bed-rental program.”

That figure is largely exaggerated, others said. However, in fiscal 2014, county officials underestimated how much revenue the federal bed rental program would bring in by $3 million. Austin said they were overly ambitious about when they would get a per diem increase, and how much it would be.

It appears Summerill took the jail’s $24 million budget, divided it by the average daily number of prisoners, then divided it again by 365.

“That is not a fair representation of what it costs to house a federal inmate,” Austin said, because not all costs of the jail can be attributed to the bed rental program.”

The 17-page Summerill presentation has since been called by county officials a marketing tool designed to get the county’s business.

Once he was hired, Summerill was tasked with coming up with a dollar amount for an official application for a new rate. The county sought a $101.84 per diem rate in 2014, that was expected to rise to $112.47 by fiscal 2015.

Austin pointed out that there are certain factors that the federal formula allows you to take into consideration, such as the sheriff’s salary, for example. Obviously, McHenry County will have a sheriff regardless of whether it has a federal bed-rental program.

U.S. Marshals eventually agreed to a $10 a day rate increase that was approved by the County Board in May, bringing the per diem rate to $95.

The very next day, U.S. Marshals pulled all their inmates from McHenry County.

“Lesson learned from the Summerill report, you better be careful what you ask for because the unintended consequences are pretty bitter Ersel Schuster pills,” former County Board member Ersel Schuster said at a July County Board meeting.

ICE detainees always have made up the vast majority of beds filled through the contract, so the effect wasn’t as disastrous as it could have been. In 2012, as an example, the average daily bed population for ICE was 241 detainees to the Marshals’ 45. The county collected about $7.1 million from the bed-rental program in 2014.

By the numbers The number of federal detainees peaked in 2011, with the average daily population between ICE detainees and U.S. Marshals inmates at 350 a night. Each year has seen that average drop. By 2012, the county was seeing signs of a decline in the number of beds filled each night. The average daily bed population was 180 in 2014, although numbers for December weren’t factored in.

ICE officials offered a possible explanation.

“The ICE population at McHenry has decreased overall as part of a broader change in areas of bed space utilization across the country,” a statement from the agency read. “Additionally, in the fiscally constrained environment of the past couple of years, field offices have worked to find cost savings where possible, and the McHenry County facility is one of the most expensive facilities in the Chicago region.”

The closest facilities, in Kenosha and Dodge counties in Wisconsin, charge $70 and $65 a night, respectively.

County officials have said tough choices will have to be made in the coming months in deciding whether they will pursue the contract when it expires in October.

NEWS STORIES Compiled by The Associated Press

Pastor Charles Burton lies on the driveway of the Ferguson, Mo., police station Oct. 13 as he is outlined in chalk as a memorial to Michael Brown.

Some witnesses said 18-yearold Brown had his hands up in surrender, others said he was making a charge. But there was no dispute he was unarmed and shot dead by a white police officer.

POLICE KILLINGS

Some witnesses said 18-year-old Michael Brown had his hands up in surrender, others said he was making a charge.

But there was no dispute he was unarmed and shot dead by a white police officer in Ferguson. In New York City, another unarmed black, Eric Garner, was killed after a white officer put him in a chokehold during an arrest for unauthorized cigarette sales. After grand juries opted not to indict the officers, protests erupted across the country, punctuated by chants of “Hands up, don’t shoot” and “I can’t breathe.” In both cases, federal officials launched investigations.

EBOLA OUTBREAK

The first wave of Ebola deaths, early in the year, attracted little notice. By March, the World Health Organization was monitoring the outbreak.

By midsummer, it was the worst Ebola epidemic on record, with a death toll now approaching 7,000, mostly in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. A Liberian man with the disease died at a Dallas hospital, followed by a few other cases involving U.S. health workers, sparking worries about the readiness of the U.S. health system.

U.S. ELECTIONS

For months, political oddsmakers sought to calculate if Republicans had a chance to gain control of the U.S. Senate.

It turned out there was no suspense – the GOP won 54 of the Senate’s 100 seats, expanded its already strong majority in the House of Representatives, and gained at the state level, where Republicans now hold 31 governorships.

ISLAMIC STATE

OBAMACARE

Militant fighters from the Islamic State group startled the world with rapid, brutal seizures of territory in Iraq and Syria. The U.S. and its allies responded with air strikes, hoping that Iraqi and Kurdish forces on the ground could retake captured areas. Revulsion toward Islamic State intensified as it broadcast videos of its beheadings of several Western hostages.

Millions more Americans signed up to be covered under President Barack Obama’s health care initiative, but controversy about “Obamacare” raged on.

Criticism from Republicans in Congress was relentless, many GOP-governed states balked at participation, and opinion polls suggested most Americans remained skeptical about the program.

MALAYSIA AIRLINES MYSTERY

Texas Department of Safety Troopers patrol the Rio Grande on July 24 along the U.S.-Mexico border in Mission, Texas.

En route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board.

In the weeks that followed, aircraft, ships and searchers from two-dozen countries mobilized to look in vain for the wreckage on the Indian Ocean floor. To date, there’s no consensus as to why the plane vanished.

TURMOIL IN UKRAINE

A sometimes bloody revolt that toppled President Viktor Yanukovych in February triggered a chain of events that continued to roil Ukraine as the year drew to a close. Russia, worried that Ukraine would tilt increasingly toward the West, annexed the Crimean peninsula in March and backed an armed separatist insurgency in coal-rich eastern regions of Ukraine. The U.S. and its allies responded with sanctions against Russia.

7

IMMIGRATION

Frustrated by an impasse in Congress, President Barack Obama took executive actions in November to curb deportations for many immigrants residing in the U.S. illegally. GOP leaders in the House and Senate pledged efforts to block the president’s moves. Prospects for reform legislation were dimmed earlier in the year by the influx of unaccompanied Central American minors arriving at the U.S. border, causing shelter overloads and case backlogs.

GAY MARRIAGE

Due to a wave of federal court rulings, 19 more U.S. states began allowing same-sex marriages, raising the total to 35 states encompassing about 64 percent of the population.

Given that one U.S. court of appeals bucked the trend by upholding state bans on gay marriage, there was widespread expectation that the U.S. Supreme Court will take up the issue and make a national ruling.

VETERANS AFFAIRS SCANDAL

The Department of Veterans Affairs became embroiled in a nationwide scandal over allegations of misconduct and cover-ups. Several senior officials were fired or forced to resign, including VA Secretary Eric Shinseki. At the heart of the scandal was the VA hospital in Phoenix; allegations surfaced that 40 veterans died while awaiting treatment there.

SKETCH VIEW

Peace on earth an unfulfilled anthem In the second chapter of the Gospel of Luke, an angel appears to shepherds near Bethlehem and proclaims the birth of a savior.

Then, other angels appear and sing, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will toward men.”

Peace on earth. What a difficult goal to accomplish in an age of terrorism and armed conflict, even in the Christmas season, even 20 centuries after the angels sang.

The Christmas Truce of 1914 was not ordered by statesmen or generals.

It happened spontaneously along Europe’s Western Front.

From inside trenches dug in Belgian and French soil by British and German soldiers, Christmas carols were sung, the words and melodies drifting across the cold, deadly noman’s land.

Then, unbelievably, soldiers who had killed each other by the thousands cautiously rose up from their trenches on Christmas Day, apprehensively walked into the muddy no-man’s land, greeted each other, exchanged gifts and even kicked around a soccer ball.

Several dozen such unofficial armistices occurred along the front, much to the joy of the soldiers, and much to the consternation of their leaders. According to the Associated Press, those leaders ordered Christmas artillery attacks in 1915, 1916 and 1917 to make sure troopinspired truces never happened again.

A century after the Christmas Truce of 1914, we honor the soldiers who sought respite from the horrors of war by having the courage to embrace peace.

During the holiday season of 2014, let’s remember their example.

ANOTHER VIEW

No need for special session Average Illinoisans don’t give much thought to whether it’s Jerry Stermer, Nancy Kimme or Mike Frerichs who sign checks on behalf of the state.

Average Illinoisans do, however, give a lot of thought to efficient government and how the state spends their money.

Special sessions of the Illinois General Assembly rarely are special and usually are inefficient and a waste of tax dollars. When they’re rushed, they’re even less useful.

Yet, Gov. Pat Quinn has called lawmakers back to Springfield because he wants them to pass legislation for a special election to replace Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka, who died Dec. 10.

Quinn took care of a short-term replacement for Topinka when he appointed budget guru Jerry Stermer to fill what little time is left in Topinka’s current term.

Stermer’s stint will end Jan. 12 so Gov.-elect Bruce Rauner can appoint a person to fill the term to which Topinka was elected Nov. 4.

Whether that will be a four-year appointment or a two-year term is the point of the special session.

Most of Illinois’ representatives and senators were re-elected and will need to work with Rauner the next four years. A good start to that working relationship would be to do nothing during the special session and wait for direction from the new governor.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan recommended there be a special election in two years so voters can have a say about comptroller. Her opinion was that it was “undemocratic” for a person who was not chosen by voters to fill a four-year term.

Quinn jumped at the opportunity to tell lawmakers to get back to work Jan. 8.

We wish we would have seen such a sense of urgency when it came to dealing with Illinois’ real – and still unsolved – problems: worst in the nation credit rating, worst pension liability and so forth.

It would be much more prudent to wait for a new General Assembly and a new governor to decide whether a special election is necessary.

A few days or weeks is not going to make much difference for a proposed 2016 election.

Lawmakers’ time would be better spent working toward merging the offices of comptroller and treasurer. Such legislation has passed in the Senate, but has not been called for a vote in the House.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Myth of police racism To the Editor: Are police racists as judged by the recent killing of blacks? The FBI crime statistics provide interesting insight.

In 2011 (the latest year for complete data), there were 12,644 homicides in the U.S. Although blacks account for 13 percent of the U.S. population, they were responsible for 6,329 murders – or 55 percent of the total.

In the process of apprehension, police killed 393 people that year; 204 – or 52 percent – of those killed were blacks. This is almost exactly the proportion of blacks responsible for murder.

While police killed 204 blacks during apprehensions, blacks killed more than 6,000 other blacks.

Although in some towns racism might be a problem, data do not suggest systematic police racism across the U.S. A startling statistic is the rate of homicides by race. Whites commit about two murders per 100,000 of

white population. Blacks commit about 16 murders per 100,000 of black population. The black murder rate is seven times the white murder rate. Of the murders committed by blacks, about 90 percent of the victims were other blacks.

This is what the marchers should be focused on.

What is the cause of black animosity toward the police? Part of the reason is the greater presence of police in black neighborhoods to reduce crime and the efforts to enforce minor violations to discourage more serious violations. While these policies do work, they result in far more contentious interactions between blacks and police.

President, conservatives both correct on Cuba Is it possible to hold two seemingly contradictory thoughts about the president’s decision to partially end the half-century embargo against Cuba?

Can one agree with conservative critics, from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) to Rush Limbaugh, about how the Castro brothers are, apparently, getting everything they want and how the U.S. gets nothing but promises from a repressive regime that lies and still back the president’s decision?

I will try.

President Obama’s foreign policy has been one of retreat and coddling of tyrants with no positive results for the U.S. But perhaps without realizing it, his decision to remove some of the restrictions on travel to Cuba for some Americans, to allow the purchase of some Cuban products and open the possibility that American businesses might soon return to the island may be the diplomatic equivalent of the joint U.S.-Israeli project that slowed Iran’s progress toward manufacturing a nuclear

VIEWS Cal Thomas weapon.

Light overcomes darkness, and the darkness that is communism is best dispelled by the light of capitalism. Yes, the return of some American money to Cuba might temporarily prop up the Castro regime, but it also will have the beneficial effect of not allowing Fidel and his brother Raul to continue blaming Cuba’s bad economy solely on the U.S. embargo. When the Cuban people are exposed to the possibility of a better life in their own country, they are likely to increase their demands for freedoms they have been denied for more than five decades.

When President Kennedy announced an embargo on all trade with Cuba on Feb. 3, 1962, he cited as his rationale the close ties the communist country had with the Soviet Union. Since the Soviet Union’s collapse and the

economic problems now faced

by Russia, and with socialist Venezuela no longer able to act as an economic sugar daddy to Cuba, due to falling oil prices, that rationale no longer exists.

Rather than attempting to block the partial lifting of the embargo, the new Republican Congress should require reciprocity from the Cuban government before lifting additional restrictions. Among other things, President Raul Castro has promised to open access to the Internet for the Cuban people.

Making sure he follows through ought to be a top U.S. priority.

There is no faster way to spread freedom than to expose Cuba to the outside world and allow accurate information to trump communist propaganda.

Another condition ought to be the repatriation of black radical Joanne Chesimard. In 1973, she was convicted of murdering a New Jersey state trooper. She broke out of prison in 1979 with the aid of accomplices from the Black Liberation Army and the leftist Weather Underground.

Chesimard fled to Cuba. She’s been there ever since. An estimated 70 fugitives are hiding from American justice in Cuba. Repatriating them would enhance good relations between the two governments.

With those provisions and the realization that communists usually lie to the West, I’m with the president’s decision on this one. As he said, the policy of the past 50 years isn’t working. He, or Republicans, might apply that same logic to domestic programs that aren’t working.

If the partial lifting of America’s embargo against Cuba leads to the eventual collapse of the communist government and the return of freedom, Cuba libré (a mixture of Cuban rum and American Coca Cola) might just be the drink and toast of choice of the Cuban people in a liberated Havana.

Police officers hold hands in prayer Saturday during the funeral service of New York City police officer Rafael Ramos in the Glendale section of Queens in New York. Ramos and his partner, officer Wenjian Liu, were killed Dec. 20 as they sat in their patrol car on a Brooklyn street. The shooter later killed himself.

NYC officer mourned at funeral as tensions linger NEW YORK – Thousands of police officers from across the nation packed a church and spilled onto streets Saturday to honor Officer Rafael Ramos as a devoted family man, aspiring chaplain and hero, although an air of unrest surrounding his ambush shooting was not completely pushed aside.

While mourners inside the church applauded politely as Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke, hundreds of officers outside turned their backs on him in a show of disrespect for what they see as his support for anti-police protesters.

The rush of officers far and wide to New York for Ramos’ funeral reminded some of the bond after the Sept. 11 attacks and Superstorm Sandy. Vice President Joe Biden promised that the “incredibly diverse city can and will show the nation how to bridge any divide.”

Still, tensions were evident when officers turned away

from giant screens showing de Blasio, who has been harshly criticized by New York Police Department union officials as a contributor to a climate of mistrust that preceded the killings of Ramos and his partner, Wenjian Liu. Sgt. Myron Joseph of the New Rochelle Police Department said he and fellow officers turned their backs spontaneously to “support our brothers in the NYPD.” In a statement, de Blasio’s spokesman said: “The Ramos and Liu families, our police department and our city are dealing with an unconscionable tragedy. Our sole focus is unifying this city and honoring the lives of our two police officers.”

The NYPD said through its public relations office that it had no comment.

In his eulogy, de Blasio said hearts citywide were broken after the Dec. 20 shootings.

“All of this city is grieving and grieving for so many reasons,” de Blasio said. “But the

most personal is that we’ve lost such a good man, and the family is in such pain.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo praised the sea of blue mourners for their professionalism at recent rallies over police conduct when protesters insulted them, and Biden spoke passionately about the effects of the officers’ deaths.

“When an assassin’s bullet targeted two officers, it targeted this city and it touched the soul of an entire nation,” the vice president said.

Police union officials in contentious contract negotiations with the city have faulted de Blasio for showing sympathy to protesters angry over the police deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner on Staten Island.

At a hospital after the officers’ slayings, the police union’s president, Patrick Lynch, and others turned their backs on de Blasio. Lynch said the mayor had “blood on his hands.”

HAVANA – A half-century after Washington severed relations with Cuba, the United States’ seven-story mission looms over Havana’s seaside Malecon boulevard as the largest diplomatic outpost in the country.

Cuban guards stand at close intervals on the street outside, and islanders line up by the thousands each year for a shot at a coveted visa.

The gleaming U.S. Interests Section suddenly is poised to become an even more important presence in Cuba as the two countries negotiate the first phase of their historic detente – transforming the complex into a

ing of the embassy: symbolic measures such as raising the American flag on the Malecon.

“Opening an embassy is a symbolic gesture, but symbols are really important,” John Caulfield, who was Interests Section chief from 2011 to 2014, said by phone from Jacksonville, Florida, where he retired.

“This is a pretty powerful symbol by our president that we want to have a more normal relationship with Cuba despite the fact that we have the obvious differences,” he added.

Cuba’s interests section is a stately manor in Washington’s Adams Morgan neighborhood. It, too, stands to become an embassy.

President Barack Obama boards Air Force One on Nov. 14 at Yangon International Airport in Yangon, Myanmar. It was supposed to be a joke. “Are you still president?” comedian Stephen Colbert said to Obama earlier this month. But the question seemed to speak to growing weariness with the president and skepticism that anything will change in Washington during his final two years in office.

Obama faces twilight of maybes The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – It was supposed to be a joke. “Are you still president?” comedian Stephen Colbert asked Barack Obama earlier this month.

But the question seemed to speak to growing weariness with the president and skepticism that anything will change in Washington during his final two years in office. Democrats already are checking out Obama’s potential successors. Emboldened Republicans are trying to push aside his agenda in favor of their own.

At times this year, Obama seemed ready to move on, as well.

He rebelled against the White House security “bubble,” telling his Secret Service detail to give him more space. He chafed at being sidelined by his party during midterm elections and having to adjust his agenda to fit the political interests of vulnerable Democrats who lost anyway.

Yet the election that was a disaster for the president’s party may have had a rejuvenating effect on Obama. The morning after the midterms, Obama told senior aides, “If I see you moping, you will answer to me.”

People close to Obama say he is $-,% 7*-6 *.3 +10"0 $*-

energized at not having to worry about helping – or hurting – Democrats in another congressional election on his watch. He has become more comfortable with his executive powers, moving unilaterally on immigration, Internet neutrality and climate change in the past two months. And he sees legacy-building opportunities on the international stage, from an elusive nuclear deal with Iran to normalizing relations with Cuba after a half-century freeze.

“He gained some clarity for the next two years that is liberating,” said Jay Carney, Obama’s former press secretary.

Still, pillars of Obama’s second-term agenda – gun control, raising the federal minimum wage, universal pre-school – seem destined to stand unfulfilled. Wrapping up the Iraq and Afghanistan wars isn’t turning out to be nearly the tidy success story Obama once envisioned. Even supporters say one of the president’s top remaining priorities may have to be simply preventing Republicans from dismantling his earlier accomplishments, including the health care law.

The Yes-We-Can man is entering a twilight of maybes, his presidency still driven by high ambitions but his power to achieve them running

out.

Nearly two dozen White House officials, former Obama aides, presidential historians and political analysts discussed Obama’s standing as he closes his sixth year in office, some on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss their conversations with the president or his top advisers.

Obama is realistically optimistic about what he can get done over the next two years, advisers say. He wants to try tax reform and sees opportunities to accelerate growth and job creation with the economy on firmer footing. Aides have reached out to historians and political scientists to solicit ideas for Obama’s next State of the Union address.

Yet the president is forging ahead as something of an isolated figure. Congressional Democrats are increasingly willing to go against him. And in the West Wing, Obama’s tight inner circle of loyal advisers keeps shrinking.

People close to Obama say he is weighing what he’ll do when he leaves the White House. He is studying the paths predecessors have taken and has expressed interest in both domestic and international issues.

BURLINGTON, Vermont – Move over farmers’ markets. More than 300 food hubs around the country also are providing small farms another outlet to sell locally raised food to consumers.

There’s no one model for a food hub – it depends on the market, the location and what is grown in that area. Some collect food from farms and dole it out to customers in weekly deliveries. Other hubs help consumers, restaurants, colleges and institutions to source food online.

But producers, consumers and experts all say food hubs have an important thing in common: it’s an efficient way to get locally raised food to those clamoring for it.

The number of food hubs has doubled over the past six years, and many are in urban areas, with the Northeast leading the way. Some operate as nonprofits, others are for-profit or producer-consumer cooperatives. Some are modeled after CSAs, or community supported agriculture, where consumers pay up front for food throughout the season.

That’s how the Intervale Food Hub in Burlington, Vermont, works, with 30 farms, 15 specialty producers and 1,100 members who pick up their weekly bundles at various sites around the city. The venture started in 2008 with just 192 members and 24 farms.

For farmers, food hubs provide distribution, marketing and, in some cases, processing and storage.

Predicting what will sell at a farmers’ market is a challenge, according to Ray Tyler of Rosecreek Farms in Selmer, Tennessee. By getting involved with the Bring It Food Hub in Memphis, Tyler can plan ahead for the next growing season, when the hub plans to double its membership to 400.

“Basically instead of us spending all this time on marketing, we can now spend more time doing what we love to do and that is growing great food,” he said.

JAKARTA, Indonesia – An AirAsia plane with 161 people on board lost contact with ground control on Sunday while flying over the Java Sea after taking off from a provincial city in Indonesia for Singapore, and search and rescue operations were underway.

AirAsia, a regional low-cost carrier with presence in several Southeast Asian countries, said in a statement that the missing plane was an Airbus A320-200 and that search and rescue operations were in progress.

Flight QZ8501 lost communication with Jakarta’s air traffic control at 7:24 a.m. Singapore time, about an hour before it was scheduled to land in Singapore, the Singapore Civil Aviation Authority said in a statement. The contact was lost about 42 minutes after the single-aisle jetliner took off from Indonesia’s Surabaya airport, Hadi Mustofa, an official of the transportation ministry told Indonesia’s MetroTV. The plane had six crew and 155 passengers, including 16 children and one infant, the general manager of Surabaya’s Juanda airport, Trikora Raharjo, told The Associated Press.

There were six foreigners –three South Koreans including an infant and one each from Singapore, Britain and Malaysia, said Raharjo. The rest were Indonesians, he said.

The plane lost contact when it was believed to be over the Java Sea between Kalimantan and Java islands, Mustofa said. He said the weather in the area was cloudy.

The Singapore statement said search and rescue operations have been activated by the Indonesian authorities. It said the Singapore air force and the navy also were searching with two C-130 planes.

Flightradar24, a flight tracking website, said the plane was delivered in September 2008, which would make it six years old. It said the plane was flying at 32,000 feet, the regular cruising altitude for most jetliners, when the signal from the plane was lost

BOYS BASKETBALL: JACOBS’ HINKLE HOLIDAY CLASSIC

4th OK last year, not this year for host Jacobs led Z-B by 12 points late in the 3rd quarter

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Jacobs considered last year’s fourth-place finish in its own Hinkle Holiday Classic a nice building block in its season.

When the Golden Eagles repeated as the fourth-place team Saturday night at the Eagles’ Nest, they viewed the finish far from satisfying.

“It’s a disappointing outcome,” guard Kenton Mack said. “Last year it was a good thing. This year it’s definitely not the outcome we wanted.”

Especially after leading Zion-Benton in the third-place game by 12 points late in the third quarter. The Eagles struggled through a tough stretch in the fourth quarter and Z-B eventually held on for a 64-61 victory.

Cory Boeckh hit his seventh 3-pointer of the game with 8 seconds remaining to cut the Zee-Bees’ lead to 63-61. Z-B’s Admiral Schofield hit 1 of 2 free throws with 7 seconds to go and Jacobs hurried down the floor.

Mack pump-faked as one defender flew past and had an open look for a game-tying 3, but missed.

Boeckh hit 4 of 5 3-point attempts in the second quarter as Jacobs turned an eight-point, first-quarter deficit into a six-point halftime lead. Mack and Chrishawn Orange hit big shots in the third and Jacobs had a 47-35 lead with 1:40 remaining in that quarter.

“We had a little letdown after losing last night (88-81 in overtime to Barrington),” Z-B coach Bob Worthington said. “They wanted to win this tournament again. But this game means something. Defense really pulled us through tonight. This is a pretty good culmination of December for us.”

“We had higher expectations this year,” Boeckh said. “We were building the lead with a good third quarter, then in the fourth we had that 3-minute period with some bad possessions and things kind of went their way.”

Jacobs (8-5) had its sights on winning the tournament this season with most of its starters coming back. The Eagles appeared to be on their way to taking third place when they scored 44 points in the middle two quarters, hitting 18 of 31 shots.

“We set goals. Why this is so much more disappointing than last year is we’re such a better basketball team,” Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts said.

“We were ready. We had a chance (to win).”

Unfortunately for R-B, Knobloch was able to get most of what he wanted all night.

“We talked about some things before the game to try to put him in good situations to score,” Marengo coach Nate Wright said. “It’s big to have a guy like that. You struggle to game plan for a team like R-B, but we had a number of guys step up and make plays for us tonight.”

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com The list of top local sports stories for 2014 was particularly strong because of its historical significance.

The year included two athletes – Hampshire’s Jake Goebbert and Johnsburg’s C.J. Fiedorowicz – reaching the big-time in their respective professional sports.

There also were multiple state championships from McHenry runner Jesse Reiser. Then, there was Jacobs’ Lauren Van Vlierbergen, who ran to one state title, had another runner-up finish and won the Wendy’s High School Heisman, something never accomplished before in the area.

Here are the top 10 local sports stories of 2014, as voted upon by the Northwest Herald sports staff:

1. Lauren Van Vlierbergen

STANDOUT STATS

Jacobs senior Lauren Van Vlierbergen pulled off something never accomplished in the area when she was named a national finalist for Wendy’s High School Heisman. On the night before college football announced Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota as the winner of the Heisman Trophy, Lauren Van Van Vlierbergen was Vlierbergen selected as the female winner out of the six finalists.

Van Vlierbergen won the Class 3A 800 meters and was fifth in the 1,600 at the IHSA girls track and field state meet in May. She took second in the Class 3A girls race at the cross country state meet. She also scored 32 on her ACT and will attend Michigan to run cross country and track.

2. Cary-Grove football The Trojans were no surprise, with 17 returning starters from last year and two NCAA Division I prospects on their offensive line, Trevor Ruhland and Michael Gomez. They dominated their opponents all the way to the Class 7A state championship game, where they met Providence in a much-anticipated matchup.

C-G lost, 31-28, but made its third state title game appearance in six seasons.

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

Dismantling should come swiftly The Bears aren’t the only ones who had a bad year. Before the season began, I picked them to finish 10-6.

The difference is, they’re an airplane that lost engine power about 30,000 feet ago and I’m a columnist who had his head in the clouds, if not somewhere else.

People at Halas Hall are likely to lose jobs over this mess. I still should be employed after the season mercifully ends. Unless I write something truly reprehensible about the Bears. Which might happen. At any moment.

Seeing what I have seen this season and knowing what I know

VIEWS Rick Morrissey now, it’s hard for me to comprehend how I came to the conclusion they would be good in 2014.

Someone must have spiked my Gatorade. Phil Emery?

I thought the Bears’ offense would improve from last season, when it finished eighth in the NFL in yards a game. What kills me is that I should have known better. I know what Jay Cutler is. I’ve known what he is since he arrived in Chicago: a

mistake-prone quarterback who eventually hurts his team. And what did I do? I picked the Bears to go 10-6 because surely Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Martellus Bennett and Matt Forte would help cover up Cutler’s innate Cutler-ness. And surely a defense bolstered by some free-agent signings couldn’t be as bad as the one that finished third-to-last in the league in yards allowed in 2013.

But Forte and the others couldn’t hide Cutler, and the defense has been just as bad as it was last season.

his month, former Notre Dame College Prep football player Daniel Bukal filed a class-action lawsuit against the IHSA over concussion protocol and management. Sports editor Jon Styf and sports reporter Mike DeFabo discuss.

DeFabo: If you haven’t been following this lawsuit, you definitely should be. To sum it up briefly, the suit alleges the IHSA “does not mandate specific guidelines or rules on managing student-athlete concussions and head injuries and fails to mandate the removal of athletes who have appeared to suffer in practice.” The interesting aspect about this lawsuit is that Bukal, a 29-year-old former player who said he still experiences dizziness and headaches, doesn’t seek damages like some of the NFL suits. He’s not trying to cash in, but just wants baseline testing and medical staff with concussion training at games. What are your views?

Styf: First of all, you’re way off if you think the NFL suits are about “trying to cash in.” Former players want to be able to pay for medical treatment related to a multitude of ailments from their playing days. Beyond that, on the high school level, something needs to be done. If you’re going to have kids playing a dangerous sports like that, you need someone on the sideline who can handle a head injury situation (i.e. medical staff) and they need to have the right data (i.e. baseline test) to do it the right way. If youth football leagues can mandate it, why is the IHSA so hesitant? It’s about money. The IHSA said that handling it in the courts isn’t the best course of action, but how many other times has it said that while it would be sued over policy? The organizations and their members don’t want to be told how to run their schools and teams. But, there is a real head injury issue both here and throughout the country in all sports. The time has come to deal with that appropriately.

DeFabo: IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman said in a news conference that if the lawsuit is successful it could “eliminate some programs in Illinois.” He essentially said football will only exist in the wealthy school districts. I’m not buying that argument.

Bukal’s attorney, Joseph J. Siprut, had the perfect response in Joey Kaufman’s story this week. “The IHSA’s claim that our firm’s concussion class action could result in the demise of high school football, or create a system of “haves, have nots” (those that have football and those that don’t) is a cheap and cowardly tactic designed to engender opposition to the lawsuit,” Siprut wrote. “Put simply, the IHSA is trying to pass off this logic: ‘If you like football, then you should oppose this lawsuit!’ They might as well have said: ‘If you like cute puppies, then you should oppose this lawsuit!’ ” Styf: If you like your kids, you should like this lawsuit. It’s one thing to choose football as a profession, knowing the risks, and play in the NFL. It’s a completely different thing to be a high school player and head back onto the field after a concussion and risk your life for the game because no one was there to check you out properly after a hit. This isn’t a perfect solution; no solution can make football completely safe. But it’s about limiting the risk, which is largest when a first concussion isn’t diagnosed. As USA Today pointed out in November, eight high school football players died last year in injuries directly related to football.

That’s real. And the point of that story is, why does it happen in high school and not in college and the NFL? One explanation is that there are a ton more high school games than those on higher levels. Another explanation could be that there is much closer management of head injuries on the higher levels.

For Amanze Egekeze, the reigning Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Player of the Year, the jump to college hasn’t been too steep. In 12 games for Belmont, Egekeze, a Huntley grad, has averaged 6.1 points and 2.6 rebounds agame, shooting 50 percent from the field and 58 percent from 3-point range. The 6-foot-8 freshman forward slid into the starting lineup for a Dec. 11 game against Wright State after putting up a career-high 13 points two nights before. This month, he was also named Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Week. Egekeze and the Bruins (8-4) face Butler at 5 p.m. Sunday at on Fox Sports 1.

In high school, I was definitely more of a post player. Progressively, I’ve been given more freedom with what I’ve been allowed to do within the offense. My senior year was when, really, everything clicked in together. I started doing a lot of perimeter stuff. At times, I’d have to bring up the ball. I did a little bit of everything, but I was mainly a post just because I was bigger than most guys, and I was able to score pretty easily down there. One thing that’s a difference with college is the pace. And I’m definitely a much better shooter than I was in high school. It’s just really, honestly, being surrounded by so many good shooters and 3s are a big part of what we do here. It’s just made me a better shooter. I pay more attention to it, focus on it more. Honestly, I know I put in the work, obviously, but it’s just kind of been happening. I don’t really know how I’m shooting it this well. I’d just like to keep it up. Paying a lot more attention to my mechanics has been helping. It’s just been kind of nice to see a lot of shots going in. They’re giving me a lot of freedom to let it fly.

Toward the end of my junior and senior year of high school, I really started hitting it hard for perimeter workouts. I’d do a lot of guard stuff, ballhandling, shooting on the move. A lot of the good pick-andpop big guys, are normally guys who just set the screen, catch and shoot. I’ve tried to work on a little dribbling into my shot, too. So maybe like a one, two-dribble pull up, just stuff like that to get my all-around game better. I think it’s carried over well here, because when teams close on me hard, I’m able to do a little bit more with my dribble. I’m not a one-dimensional player, I guess.

I’ve had a lot of people help me from back home.

From a young age, I’ve always wanted to be an all-around player. I’ve never said I wanted to be a post, I wanted to be perimeter. Just a little bit of everything.

I like it (Belmont’s 4-Out 1-In motion offense) a lot.

It allows me to use all my skills. I feel like I’m able to post up, use my array of moves I feel like I have down there. Then when I feel like I have a slower big guy on me, I’m able to step out and make him pay on the outside. I think it gives me the opportunity to score in different areas, and be effective in more spots on the floor.

(A highlight?) We had a game against Western Kentucky, where we were down by 10, 11, 12 the whole game. It was at their place. And we just couldn’t break through. Then finally, we started making shots. It was a great environment. We came back on the road and beat them by one. I was a huge part of that defensively.

Top Carmel in Consolation A bracket final

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – CaryGrove did not expect anything was going to come easy against Carmel, even when it all looked so effortless in the first 12 minutes as the Trojans built a 24-point lead.

“We played them earlier and had a big lead and they made a huge comeback,” Trojans center Trevor Ruhland said. “We knew they’d come back at us.”

Carmel turned up its defensive pressure, while C-G struggled handling the ball with its best player, Jason Gregoire, saddled with foul trouble. The smooth flow transformed into choppy, panicked errant passes.

Finally, with 10.6 seconds remaining, Adam Loch stepped to the free-throw line and swished a pair of shots for a 63-60 lead. The Trojans defended Corsairs guard Chris Duff on his final attempt, a miss, and they grabbed the trophy for first place in the Consolation A bracket at Jacobs’ Hinkle Holiday Classic on Saturday at the Eagles’ Nest.

“We were just doing our best to stay calm and strong with the ball,” guard Justin Blair said. “They put a lot of pressure on us and we got flustered and made some bad decisions.”

Still, C-G (7-5) held on to go 4-1 at Jacobs for the first time in coach Ralph Schuetzle’s 11 seasons at C-G. “When our primary ballhandler (Gregoire) is out, you see what happens,” Schuetzle said. “Jason’s sitting on the bench, he has to be smarter than that.”

BOYS HOOPS: A-H CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT

Heaver leads A-H

By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com HEBRON – After giving up 25 points in the second quarter Saturday, Alden-Hebron needed a change on defense to regain the momentum it lost after a strong first quarter.

Whatever boys basketball coach Todd Mathis drew up at intermission worked as the Giants dominated the second half and went on to a 62-43 victory over Faith Lutheran in pool play of the Alden-Hebron Christmas Tournament at Alden-Hebron High School.

The host Giants (4-6) got off to a nice start as they took a 17-6 lead after the first quarter in which they shot 6 for 11 from the field and held Faith Lutheran to only 2-for-13 shooting. An intentional foul right before the end of the first quarter seemed to spark the Saints, who looked like a completely different team in the second quarter. Behind the hot shooting of Kurt Zachary, Faith Lutheran (3-10) outscored the Giants 25-7 in the second quarter. Zachary scored 15 of his 21 points in the quarter.

When the second half began, A-H had the look of a completely different team.

“We got them straightened out at halftime and changed a few things around and I was really happy with how we played defensively in the second half,” Mathis said. “That second quarter we kind of dropped the ball and Faith Lutheran took advantage of that.

Offensively, we settled in and started to play our game.”

In addition to the increased defensive pressure in the second half, the Giants also got a much-needed spark on offense by Jake Heaver. Heaver scored the first seven points of

“We were still running our base offense in the second half, but I was able to get in the zone and the shots started falling,” Heaver said. “Our team had a lot more energy in the second half and we were able to feed off that emotion.”

Defensively, the play of Cody Nelson and Josh Johnson led the Giants in the second half. Faith Lutheran was held to only two baskets in the second half, and after allowing 21 first-half points to Zachary, Nelson and Johnson held Zachary to one shot attempt in the second.

Nelson added 13 points and eight rebounds, and Trevor Redlin had 12 points for A-H. After a great run before halftime, Faith Lutheran had no answer in the second half.

“We really fell apart on both ends in the second half,” Saints coach Cory Wilks said.

“We really didn’t execute after halftime and got really fatigued. We were pretty gassed in the fourth quarter.”

A foul by Lake Park’s Lexie Ricchio on the Wolves’ Kirsten Voel-Pel’s 3-point attempt gave Prairie Ridge life with 1.3 seconds left on the clock, but VoelPel (10 points, eight rebounds) converted only one of her three attempts – missing the last one on purpose but missing the rim.

As a team, the Wolves (11-5) finished 13 of 24 from the freethrow line, including 8 of 18 in the second half.

“We got to get to work in the gym, start making more shots, and start making more free throws,” Wolves coach Rob Baker said. “We were playing really hard and getting after it – we just couldn’t finish a shot.”

After consecutive buckets from the Wildcats, Jen Pilut gave C-G the lead again, 2827, on an assist from Maddie Priester with 1:15 remaining.

Libertyville was forced to foul down the stretch and regained the lead after Addie Neal stole C-G’s inbound and converted the layup.

Libertyville then fouled Barker with 13.6 seconds to go, putting the guard at the line for a 1-and-1. Barker made the pair and gave C-G the lead for good.

She later missed short on the front end of a 1-and-1 with 6.2 seconds to go, but Priester was there to grab the offensive rebound as time expired.

“I think my teammates counted on me to go to the line and make my free throws,” said Barker, who finished 6 of 7 from the line. “The last free throws, my coach told me to make them, but it worked out with it being short and getting the ball back with time running out.”

Marengo sinks 14 3-pointers • INDIANS Continued from page C1 Craiton Nice had 13 points and Weston Shepard added 11 for Marengo.

Marengo (9-2) knocked down 14 3-pointers in a game that was back and forth the entire way. In the game, there were 12 lead changes and seven ties. After R-B’s Reggie Banks made a free throw to give the Rockets a 50-49 lead, the Indians responded with a 10-0 run.

On that run, Knobloch made two 3s and had a layup that forced an R-B timeout.

“I’ve had a couple games shooting like that, but this was a good time to have one of them,” Knobloch said.

The Rockets (8-3) were in the game for most of the way, but that 10-0 run was just one punch too many for the Rockets to respond from. Creason credits Marengo for finding a way to win, but knows his team could have played much better.

“We didn’t guard,” Creason said. “I’m not sure how many 3s [Knobloch] has to hit for us to get a hand in his face.

I’m not sure we realize how hard we have to play to win these kind of games just yet.”

Sophomore Blaine Bayer led R-B with 16 points, and Sam Kaufman added 12 points.

The Indians knew coming into its first of three meetings with R-B this year that it was going to be a physical, intense game. Shepard knew that his team’s work ethic that it uses in practice is something that translates over to its games.

“All year long we have stressed a constant intensity in practice,” Shepard said.

“That way, once we get in those situations in the games, we are comfortable with it

and can stay composed.”

Wright knew if his team shot well, it would give itself a good chance to win. The defensive end was where he was most concerned coming in, and was proud of the way the Indians did the things they needed to do to win the game.

“My theme for tonight was to grind it out,” Wright said. “The guys took that and ran with it. We made some changes when they had their big guys in and they made a couple shots, but we got the rebounds when it mattered and made some free throws to come away with the win.”

Not only did Marengo win the tournament championship, but it got to do it on its home floor. That is something Shepard had a hard time putting into words.

“That was a fun game to play in,” he said. “Our fans are awesome and we get lucky to host this and get to play four extra games on our home court. We feed off the crowd getting excited and it was nice to win this game in front of them.”

Woodstock 57, Wauconda 54: In the fifth-place game at Marengo’s EC Nichols Holiday Tournament, the Blue Streaks boys basketball team used a 22-point third quarter to beat Wauconda.

Vannis Smith scored 20 points, making four 3-pointers, and Mason Sutter added 13 points for Woodstock (8-3).

Jason Price scored 15 points in the loss for the Tigers (5-8).

With the win. Woodstock North finished in 11th place at the tournament.

Fiedorowicz catches 1st NFL TD pass • TOP 10 STORIES Continued from page C1 3. C.J. Fiedorowicz When Marian Central’s Bryan Bulaga was taken in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, he was the first McHenry County area athlete drafted in a long time. The wait for the next local player to get drafted was not long at all.

Johnsburg’s 2010 graduate C.J. Fiedorowicz, who played at Iowa after Bulaga left, was taken by Houston with the first pick of the third round, the fifth tight end drafted. Fiedorowicz, the 2010 Northwest Herald Male Athlete of the Year, has started most games for the Texans, who like his blocking ability.

On Dec. 21, Fiedorowicz caught his first NFL touchdown pass, a 5-yarder from running back Arian Foster, against Baltimore.

4. Jake Goebbert Jake Goebbert received the thrill of a lifetime in June when he got the call to join the San Diego Padres. The 2006 Hampshire graduate, who won the Northwest Herald Male Athlete of the Year that year, ripped an RBI single in his first major league at-bat. Goebbert pulled a line-drive single to right field off Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Dan Haren.

Goebbert was sent back to Triple-A El Paso after a few weeks, but later returned to the Padres to finish the season.

He hit .218 with one home run and 10 RBIs. “It’s one of the few things that completely lived up to every expectation I ever had,” Goebbert said. “It was truly incredible. I wish every baseball player could experience the big leagues, even for a day.”

5. Jesse Reiser McHenry senior Jesse Rei-

ser lost only one high school race in Illinois for the 2014 calendar year, the Class 3A 1,600 meters final at the IHSA boys track and field state meet. But that was only because Reiser blew away everyone by 4 seconds earlier in that meet to win the 3,200 meters state championship.

Reiser was the decisive favorite to rule Class 3A cross country this fall and he did not disappoint. He won every race and beat his friend and future teammate at Illinois, Zach Dale of Conant, by 10 seconds for the cross country state title. That puts Reiser in an elite club with 2007 Jacobs graduate Evan Jager as the only local boys runners to win state in cross country.

Prairie Ridge lost one of its best pitchers, Ethan Routzahn, to an elbow injury and was about a .500 team in early May, when the Wolves flipped the “On” switch.

Prairie Ridge was 10-14 at one point, then won 14 of its last 16 games to reach the Class 4A state tournament. It was the first trip to state for coach Glen Pecoraro, who started the program in 1998 and coached all but three of the seasons since then.

He then flew back to Chicago on Friday night before getting up early Saturday morning for a flight to Denver, a morning skate, a quick nap, a game and a late-night flight home that was scheduled to land in Chicago sometime about 3 a.m.

Some break.

“A little crazy, but worth it,” Smith said after Saturday’s morning skate in Denver. “You don’t get to see your family too much, or be home too much, during the season.”

The Blackhawks appeared to pay the price early in Saturday’s game.

It took more than seven minutes for them to get a shot on goal and the play was scattered at both ends. But the Hawks eventually found their legs and pulled away for a 5-2 victory over the Avalanche, snapping Colorado’s three-game winning streak

and six-game point streak.

Brent Seabrook had plenty of life in his legs in this one.

With the score tied at 2 late in the second period, the Hawks defenseman blasted a shot past Calvin Pickard for a power-play goal.

About three minutes Ben Smith later, Seabrook chased down speedy Avs center Matt Duchene to foil a breakaway. Then, in the third period, he drew a penalty that led to

Patrick Sharp’s insurance goal on his birthday, and helped kill off a 5-on-3 Avs power play to seal the win.

The game couldn’t have started much worse for the Hawks, who usually fly into cities the night before a game, and never hold a morning skate when they have to travel the day of the game.

An early power play went nowhere, then Nathan MacKinnon scored his first goal in 17 games, beating Corey Crawford on the far side with a sensational shot from the right circle at 6:56 of the first.

Brandon Saad tied it 31 seconds later, but Erik Johnson’s slapper tipped off David Rundblad’s skate and past Crawford for a 2-1 Avs lead at 8:53 of the first.

The Hawks finally settled down after that. Patrick Kane (who also scored an empty-net goal) redirected a Duncan Keith slap-pass past Pickard to tie the score at 2 at 16:19 of the first. Then, with MacKinnon in the box at 13:14 of the second, Seabrook scored his seventh goal of the season, just two off his career high.

Bulls’ winning streak at 6

Authorities question Castro after shooting

Butler makes strong case for all-star nod

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Jimmy Butler was all over the place. He drove inside for big baskets.

He made his foul shots. He even guarded Anthony Davis for a while.

While the Bulls campaign for an All-Star spot for the dynamic guard, Butler is making his argument on the court.

Butler scored 33 points, Derrick Rose had 19 and the Bulls beat the New Orleans Pelicans, 107-100, Saturday night for their sixth consecutive victory.

“I feel like we got a lot of easy baskets as a team,” Butler said. “We rebounded the ball well and we got out into the open court and we got a lot of layups. When we’re playing like that, I think we’re really, really hard to beat.”

The Bulls (21-9) also had three reserves score in double figures in their ninth win in 10 games. Aaron Brooks scored 13 points, and Taj Gibson added 12 points and 10 rebounds.

“I thought our bench gave us a great lift,” coach Tom Thi-

scored 26 points for the Pelicans, and Jrue Holiday had 19 points and seven assists.

The Pelicans (15-15), who were coming off a 97-90 victory over San Antonio on Friday night, committed 15 turnovers and were outrebounded 45-37 by the Bulls.

“Tough loss for us because we played really well last night,” coach Monty Williams said. “Tough back-to-back, but we played against a really good team, and it’s a good lesson for us that we have to take care of the ball and not give up extra possessions.”

New Orleans pulled within seven with 2:58 remaining, but Rose then drove inside for a dunk. After Evans converted another layup, Butler had a three-point play that made it 104-94 with 1:49 to go.

“We’re getting more and more comfortable with what we are trying to do at the end of the game,” said Joakim Noah, who had seven points and nine rebounds for the Bulls.

Davis was greeted with mostly cheers from the soldout crowd of 21,935. The No. 1 overall selection in the 2012 draft had a mild concussion when New Orleans visited United Center during his rookie year, and he broke his left hand before the Pelicans’ road game against the Bulls last December.

Thibs disagrees with Rose’s assessment

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau needed to correct his point guard Saturday.

Derrick Rose said this week that the offense now gives players more freedom to play to their strengths.

“It’s the same offense we’ve been running,’’ Thibodeau said when asked if he agreed with Rose. “I really don’t [agree with him] because it’s really the same

offense we’ve been running for years. All I know is, it works a lot better when he plays.’’

Rose is playing. So are Pau Gasol, Nikola Mirotic and Aaron Brooks. That has contributed to the Bulls’ averaging 103.4 points a game (eighth in the NBA) after never averaging more than 98.6 (19th in the league in the 2010-11 season) under Thibodeau.

Two seasons ago, the Bulls were 28th in the league in scoring with 93.2 points.

Give Thibodeau the weapons, he will give them points.

“The big thing is when you’re putting your plan together with your team, you want to study what the strengths and weaknesses of each guy are, and then how it all fits together,’’ Thibodeau said. “So you want to always play to those strengths and cover up your weaknesses. As your personnel changes, it allows you to do different things.

“And so you get Derrick

Black Monday awaits after Vikes

By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com Even in the worst of times, covering the Bears beats working for a living. But this dreadful season has pushed the limit. This past week, we tiptoed around the unavoidable question – “Do you expect to be fired Monday?”

– and literally moments later wished Mel Tucker, Aaron Kromer, Joe DeCamillis and Marc Trestman a Merry Christmas. Still wish you had my job?

Bad seasons are a part of life in the NFL. Regime change is, too. But this season has been as awkward and difficult as any in recent Bears history – and that’s saying something. The disappointment after high preseason expectations was one thing. The lightning speed of the decline was another.

On Nov. 10, 2013, the Bears were 5-3 and tied for first place in the NFC North after beating the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

By Nov. 10, 2014, the “death march” for a coaching staff

in only its second season had begun after an embarrassing 55-14 loss to the Packers at Lambeau that clearly defined the entire organization as one heading in the wrong direction.

With a bye week to prepare and atone for a 51-23 loss to the New England Patriots, the Bears trailed 42-0 at halftime – on “Monday Night Football.” So in less than a year, the Bears went from first place to an almost-inevitable coaching change in Trestman’s second season.

Less than a year after signing a seven-year, $126 million contract extension, quarterback Jay Cutler was benched.

It has been a year of unprecedented downfall at Halas Hall.

The past seven weeks have been the most awkward of dances. So many questions, so few answers. And questions that have to be asked, even when the answers are nowhere to be found.

All that’s left now is Black Monday and the extent of changes that will be made after a dismal season. But the

show must go on. So while we anticipate and speculate, the Bears have one last job to do.

It defies human nature, but somehow they’re able to block out the distraction.

“I can’t control anything other than helping this football team win,” Trestman said. “We’re 5-10, and we’re going for No. 6 on Sunday.

That’s where the focus is. It really doesn’t go outside of that.”

“That’s the great thing about football,” center Roberto Garza said. “When you’re playing football, all you can focus on is, ‘How do I block you in front of me? How do I do my job?’

“When it’s said and done, you start thinking about things like [the future], how much different an offseason can be – with coach Trestman, without coach Trestman. Nobody knows what the situation is going to be. “[But] when you’re playing football, it takes over your life.

I have to go out there and do my job to the best of my ability. And that is something football makes you do.”

back, and that gives you a lot of things you can do that you couldn’t do in the past.

But when you add Pau into the mix, that gives you more options. Then throw in Niko and Aaron, that gives you a lot more options. Then the other guys have grown. You look at what Taj [Gibson] can do. Joakim [Noah] is still not where he was last year, and that’s a great option, as well.

Joakim does a lot of great things offensively for us.’’

tro’s been cleared and not implicated at all.

“The police didn’t detain him. They didn’t arrest him.

He went in to make sure they knew he wasn’t involved.”

In the Saturday incident, Castro’s brother was involved in an “altercation” in another part of the club, Kinzer said, adding that Castro did witness the fight.

A Cubs spokesman could not immediately comment.

A couple of weeks ago, Castro was caught in the crossfire of another shooting in the Dominican Republic, but he had nothing to do with it and was cleared of any wrongdoing, Kinzer said.

“It’s just they keep dragging his name into this and he had nothing to do with either incident,” Kinzer said.

Kinzer said Castro had spoken with the Cubs and “they aren’t happy his name is involved” again.

The 24-year-old Castro hit .292 with 14 homers and 65 RBIs in 134 games last season.

CHAMPAIGN – Rayvonte Rice scored 21 points Saturday night and Illinois cruised past Kennesaw State, 93-45, in a final tune-up before Big Ten play.

Malcolm Hill chipped in 16 points and nine rebounds for Illinois (10-3), while Aaron Cosby added 13 points.

Illinois went on a 25-0 run at the end of the first half that spanned more than 10 minutes. Rice, who leads the Illini with 17.4 points a game, scored 16 in the first half despite spending several minutes on the bench. Because of the score, Rice sat the final 13 minutes.

Illinois shot 58.8 percent from the field (20 of 34) in the half, and ended the game shooting 55.4 percent (36 of 65).

Yonel Brown and Damien Wilson each scored 10 points to lead Kennesaw State (4-10).

Wilson also grabbed 11 rebounds.

Kennesaw State shot 17.9 percent in the first half (5 of 28), and finished at 24.6 percent (15 of 61). The Owls have lost six of their past seven games and are 1-7 on the road this season.

Rice has scored in double figures in all 27 games as an Illini player against nonconference opponents. Illinois has won 36 nonconference games in a row at State Farm Center, the nation’s third-longest active streak.

Anything is possible with Bears • MORRISSEY Continued from page C1 I’m not sure I ever have seen a team fall apart so quickly and thoroughly as this one has. The Bears are 5-10 heading into their last game of the season Sunday at Minnesota, but that record doesn’t begin to describe how damaged and defective they have been. Whether the bad football was a result of numerous distractions or the other way around, I couldn’t tell you. All I know is that there were problems right away and that they loitered.

Those problems aren’t going away if the McCaskeys stay the course with their leadership team. Consider this my semi-hourly appeal that the Bears do some major housecleaning in the nanoseconds after their season ends Sunday afternoon. I don’t know how you keep coach Marc Trestman after this huge disappointment of a season, which included terrible losses to the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers.

I don’t know how you keep

Trestman after he coached ’em up during a bye week, then lost 55-14 to the Packers.

His comment the day after the game was a fireable offense: “This team and this locker room is in a good place.”

I don’t know how you retain Emery, the general manager who found Trestman in a football haystack two years ago and who signed Cutler to a seven-year, $126 million contract less than a year ago.

I don’t know how you keep a man who has overseen a level of dysfunction in the organization typically associated with the Lohan family.

And I don’t know how you keep Cutler after benching him for a poor performance against the New Orleans Saints, then sheepishly making him the starter for the season finale because Jimmy Clausen has a concussion.

Remember what Packers defensive end Datone Jones said after their blowout victory in November?

“The Bears don’t really believe in Cutler,” he said.

He was right. Several weeks later, offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer would apologize to the offense for

being the anonymous source who ripped Cutler in an NFL Network report.

I don’t know how you keep Emery, Trestman and Cutler, but I do know anything is possible, including the possibility that all three might be back next season. That scenario has been pushed to the margins of public discussion, as fan outrage has turned Trestman’s ouster into a foregone conclusion. Is it? I trust chairman George McCaskey to make the right decisions the way I would trust myself to rebuild an Indy-car engine.

We don’t know what’s going to happen after the season. Defensive coordinator Mel Tucker figures to be looking for work. Kromer’s job is in jeopardy after speaking out of school. Their bosses’ jobs should be in jeopardy, too, but maybe they aren’t, these being the confused Bears. But who am I to talk?

Besides predicting they would go 10-6, I had them winning a playoff game.

‘Disruptive innovator’ recognized for approach

Did you get any electronic goodies this holiday season?

Computers, phones and tablets aren’t the only devices that need online protection. Game consoles, fitness trackers, watches, even some home appliances come Internetenabled.

What do you need to do to protect your holiday gadgets?

Register the product By registering you’ll receive information about security updates and recalls. If there’s a problem, registration is your key to receiving support.

Buy a case and screen protector Cases can be hard shells or squishy plastic. A screen protector is typically a thin film that clings to your device’s screen. While they won’t prevent all damage, they’ll keep basic dings and scratches at bay.

Set a password or passcode A password or passcode is a simple way to help secure your personal information. Don’t use an easily guessable passcode, such as your birthday, your spouse’s birthday or your pet’s name. Use a different passcode on each device, and try a password management program such as LastPass, KeePass, Dashlane or 1Password as a safe way to keep track of your passwords.

Check for software updates When you purchase an electronic device, it has whatever software and settings were current at the time it was manufactured. It’s easy to install the latest updates when you first set up the device.

Enable privacy settings Sadly, some electronic devices don’t have the best security out of the box. Go through the settings to see whether there is anything you can turn on or off, as the case may be. Anything that wants access to your accounts and files should be a red flag, as is a request for information outside the scope of the product’s functionality, such as a weather app that wants complete access to your social media.

Check location settings Location services on are a double-edged sword. You need them to enable anti-theft features such as Apple’s Find My iPhone, but devices and apps frequently broadcast your location whether you expect them to or not. If you choose to enable location features, monitor your app settings on a regular basis to make sure they remain secure.

Install antivirus Computers, phones and tablets all benefit from antivirus software.

While you can’t install antivirus on, say, a fitness tracker, you can use the features of a modern router/ firewall to monitor your home or office network. You also can avoid connecting your gadgets to public networks, which are often rife with viruses and data-stealing malware.

Enable parental controls If this device is for a child, you might want to turn on any parental control features it might have.

Not only do these options provide content filtering, but they also serve as another layer of security. Even if you don’t have kids, you may find some of these settings helpful.

Schedule routine maintenance You wouldn’t let your car go without a tuneup, and you shouldn’t let your electronic devices go without one, either. Schedule time every few months to remove unnecessary apps, go over your privacy settings and check for software updates.

While you’re at it, make a note to change your passwords at the same time.

Erik Tegel, shop manager, works on refurbishing electrical boxes while working at Tegel Design in Huntley. Tegel Design makes industrial machinery adaptable to multiple industries and sees innovation as the lifeblood of the company.

Tegel Design owner Robert Tegel seeks incubator partners

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

Tegel Design

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The employees at Tegel Design in Huntley often are asked by their owner to solve step challenges, a series of related problems more complicated than the next.

For a small manufacturer that employs mostly high school and college students, the challenges build employees’ problem-solving skills and self-confidence, owner Robert Tegel said.

And if they’re frustrated by the tasks, they can visit the life coach Tegel hired to allow his roughly 14 employees an avenue to vent and receive guidance. They also could relax more at home, since Tegel doesn’t require them to commit to a set work schedule.

“The clock was invented to synchronize the workforce,” Tegel said.

“I don’t necessarily see it that way.

If they have flexible hours, what they have to give back to me is commitment and loyalty, and to get their work done.”

Often unabashed, Tegel calls himself a “disruptive innovator,” a person who invents products that change markets on a global scale.

Since he started Tegel Design 10 years ago, Tegel’s innovative approach has allowed him to produce industrial machinery adaptable to multiple industries, including textile, automotive and manufacturing. His unique management style

Tegel Design owner Robert Tegel poses at his Huntley factory. Tegel Design was recently named a 2014 Business Champion by the McHenry County Economic Development Corp. is meant to build employees’ character and foster their growth, he said.

The McHenry County Economic Development Corp. awarded Tegel Design a 2014 Business Champion award largely because Tegel approaches his work with an inventor’s mentality, MCEDC President Pam Cumpata said.

“Rob Tegel is an innovative, energetic entrepreneur. He is constantly developing new products or improving the designs of existing products,” Cumpata said. “Rob is also a developer of people. He sees hidden talents and provides the en-

vironment for individuals to bloom and thrive.”

Now, the self-proclaimed disruptive innovator wants to take his visions to the community.

With a website built and marketing materials printed, Tegel is looking for partners willing to contribute toward a large incubator, an open commercial space that affords professionals from all ages and disciplines opportunities to collaborate and create.

The incubator would serve as a learning space for people wanting to invent and build new products for a

manufacturing industry often lacking ingenuity, Tegel said.

“It’s something for everyone to really have in the community. It’s to build our commercial bases,” Tegel said.

“I’m not looking for a space for people to replicate ideas. I’m actually looking for a space to create things that are new, that other people have not done before.”

Tegel has yet to secure formal commitments for the project. He also wouldn’t detail potential locations and cost estimates to create, renovate or run a large incubator that could total 250,000 square feet, according to his website incubotics. com.

But the MCEDC is working with Tegel on the idea.

“He has been the catalyst for that project for a number of years,” Cumpata said.

“As we identify additional people who share Rob’s passion for innovation, the vision gets closer to reality.”

Grain dryer manufacturer ‘building for the future’

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A lot has changed since Judy Sedlack was visiting her father’s business as a teenager, playing with the nuts and bolts of the agricultural equipment manufactured there.

She recalled the memory years later, sitting in a board room discussing the 60th anniversary of Mathews Company, the family-owned grain dryer manufacturing business her father started in 1954.

“We got a taste of this business at a pretty young age,” Sedlack said, referring to herself and her brother, David Mathews. “Dad was an inventor, a very forward-thinking man.”

What started as a small operation with 30 employees, Mathews Company, 500 Industrial Ave., Crystal Lake, has evolved into a global manufacturer with nearly 100 employees, making products equipped for the 21st century.

Sedlack said she and her brother, both coowners, took over when their father died in 1983.

Over the past 10 years, she said the reins gradually have been turning over to Sedlack’s children – Deb Batterham and Jeff Sedlack, who also are

Touting a 2-year-old mantra, “Building for the Future,” Batterham said the 60-year-old company has undergone several changes in recent years in

order to keep up with changing times.

She largely attributed those advances to company president Joseph Shulfer.

Shulfer said since he began with the company, improvements in aspects of the equipments’ capacity and control were some of the necessary changes as technology has reshaped the agricultural landscape.

“When I started a little over five years ago, those were kind of our two main initiatives – capacity and control,” he said. “Since then, we’ve completely redesigned our 10-foot tower dryers and our 12-foot dryers to make them more accurately achieve those capacities.”

Now that hybrid crops are becoming more common, Shulfer said, the way in which those grains dry has changed, too.

“You have to tweak your specs over time as those varieties evolve, and we’ve done that and we’ve been very successful so far,” he said.

On the control side, Shulfer said the machine’s new touchscreen control panels look entirely different than the ones Sedlack fiddled with as a teenager.

Trying to help a friend chasing her dream job Dear Dave, I have a friend who is experiencing financial problems. She is between real jobs at the moment and only bringing in about $600 a month. But even when she’s working regularly, she doesn’t budget or manage her money wisely, and she’s always looking for more money. On top of all this, she’s holding out hope for her dream job out of state. She interviewed several months ago, and hasn’t heard anything from the company. What can I do to help her?

– Gina

Dear Gina, I don’t mean this as an insult so much as an observation, but your friend sounds kind of flighty and impulsive to me. I think she also might be a bit immature. So what we’re really talking about here is how to

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey get your friend to grow up a little bit and stop chasing rainbows. Don’t get me wrong. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a dream job, but you have to be realistic and practical at the same time.

Right now, I want her chasing three or four smaller job rainbows at once so she’ll actually have a chance of catching something.

When you chase just one, in most cases you end up with nothing. The first thing I’d tell her is that the most employable people are ones who aren’t broke. When you go into an interview and you’re broke, you come off as tense and desperate,

the same opinion still.”

and you don’t make a very good job candidate.

The answer to that, when you’re basically unemployed, is to work any job – and any three or four jobs.

Wait tables, deliver pizzas or mow yards. I don’t care what, just generate some income. Work all the time and smile! You never know when you might be talking to your next employer. You could be walking someone’s dog one day and end up in their marketing department the next. But none of this will happen if you’re trying to feel better about yourself by sitting home watching Oprah reruns.

I assume that since you’re friends, she’s willing to listen to what you have to say. But if she won’t, all you can do is pray for her.

Remember the old saying, “Those convinced against their will are of

– Dave

Dear Dave, I just got married, and my husband and I want to book a combination honeymoon and New Year’s trip to celebrate. We don’t have all the money for it right now, but will have it in a few weeks. We were thinking about booking the trip on a zero-interest credit card, and paying it off when we have all the money. I know you hate debt, but would this be OK since it would be a very shortterm debt?

– Laura

Dear Laura, I know you guys are excited and happy about being married. And I wish you all the happiness in the world. But I don’t recommend credit

cards of any kind, for any reason.

I don’t want to burst your bubble, but if you can’t pay for this trip up front you can’t afford it. Believe it or not, lots of people postpone wedding trips until they’ve had a chance to save up a little bit of money.

Some folks have never even gone on a honeymoon trip, and they have great, loving marriages.

My advice to you and your new husband is to work, and save up a little bit more. Maybe one or both of you could pick up extra jobs for a little while, and make it happen sooner. Then, when you can pay cash for the trip, go have a blast on a honeymoon you can afford.

She described the moment her two kids decided to be part of the company as “pivotal” – the family succession, she added, instilling confidence in customers.

“I see the grandkids coming into the business, but I always encourage them, as I did my children, to get other jobs before coming here because it’s good to get a perspective on how others do business,” she said, adding her expectations for the company’s future are high. “I have every confidence this company is going to continue to grow at the rate it has been, and probably even at an accelerated rate.”

And with a system developed in the past few years, clients can monitor their Mathews Company products from anywhere in the world.

“M-C Trax is a remote system so you can monitor your dryer anywhere as long as you have an Internet connection,” Shulfer said. “I would say about 75 to 80 percent of our customers will add that onto their machine.”

Looking ahead, Shulfer and Batterham said there were a several projects slated for the future, but neither gave any specifics.

Top biz stories of 2014: U.S. grows, world slows

By TALI ARBEL The Associated Press NEW YORK – This year showed how sheltered the U.S. economy is from geopolitical and health crises around the world.

The global economy sputtered, but the U.S. powered ahead. Employers finally are hiring enough to lower unemployment. A plunge in gas prices and a rising stock market has Americans feeling richer and spending a bit more.

Those are some of the top business stories of 2014, as chosen by business editors at The Associated Press. The top 10 business stories of 2014:

1. U.S. grows as world slows: After a freezing winter put a chill on buying and selling, the U.S. economy posted its best six months since 2003.

But the rest of the world hasn’t been as lucky. Japan has fallen back into recession.

The 18 countries that make up the eurozone are barely growing and fear a dangerous drop in prices. Major developing nations aren’t faring much better. China’s growth has dropped to a five-year low of 7.3 percent. Western sanctions and dropping oil prices have decimated Russia’s currency.

Brazil just edged out of recession.

2. Jobs are back: Millions of Americans still struggle with low pay and fewer hours of work than they want, and millions have given up looking for a job entirely. But five years after the recession ended, the U.S. job market is looking healthy. The unemployment rate is below 6 percent.

Employers added nearly 3 million jobs, the most since 1999,

as shoppers and businesses spend more.

3. Security breaches: The theft of 40 million credit and debit cards and 70 million personal records from Target last fall turned out to be just the beginning. Home Depot Inc. hackers nabbed 56 million cards and 53 million email addresses. There were breaches at Kmart, Dairy Queen and Albertsons. JPMorgan Chase & Co. said hackers stole information covering 76 million households and 7 million small businesses. Sony employees’ private information and emails were posted online.

The consequences? Sony Pictures Entertainment canceled the mass release of “The Interview,” a comedy about assassinating the North Korean leader, after hackers threatened to attack movie theaters.

Target Corp. replaced top executives. Shops, card companies and banks sped up card security improvements.

4. Oil plunge: Global crude prices have fallen to around $56 per barrel from this year’s high of $115 because of more production, especially in the U.S., while slowing economies in Europe and Asia crimp demand. A rapid decline in the second half of the year pushed gasoline to about $2.30 a gallon in the U.S., the lowest price in nearly five years. Americans are pocketing $15.4 billion more a month than when gas was at its 2014 high of $3.70.

5. Auto recalls: In the U.S. alone, automakers recalled more than 60 million cars and trucks. That far surpassed the previous record of 30.8 million in 2004. The bulk of those come from two problems that have led to nearly 50 deaths and dozens of injuries – Japanese

air bag supplier Takata’s air bags that can inflate too fast and spew shrapnel and GM’s faulty switches that can shut down car engines.

6. Mobile momentum: PC sales are slumping, but mobile phone subscriptions are expected to reach 7 billion this year – the same as the world’s population. Phone makers are launching cheaper smartphones aimed at developing countries, which could get billions more people online.

7. Stock markets soar: The end of the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying stimulus program stressed investors this fall, but U.S. stocks kept rising, extending the bull market run to nearly six years. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index was on pace for a 13 percent gain in 2014.

8. Minimum wage growth: Inequality has been rising, and median household incomes have fallen since the recession began in late 2007. But the federal minimum hourly wage has remained at $7.25 since 2009. Labor organizers, fastfood workers and Wal-Mart employees have campaigned for higher pay across the country. Congress hasn’t acted, but cities and states have.

9. Janet Yellen: The Federal Reserve had been led exclusively by men for a century.

Then Janet Yellen, a 68-yearold former economics professor and the No. 2 at the Fed, became the first woman to lead the central bank.

10. Let’s make a deal: Higher stocks and confidence lifted global mergers and acquisitions volume to highest level since 2007. With a few days to go, global deal volume has risen 20 percent to $3.41 trillion, including debt.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Your persistence and energy will be put to the test this year. Keep your options open. Support will come your way, but only if you ask the right people to contribute to your cause. A change in location or vocation will improve your position. Don’t limit what you can accomplish.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t be discouraged if your plans are taking longer to fulfill than anticipated. As long as you are moving forward, you are on the right path.

Stick to your dreams, hopes and wishes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your priority is to get ahead throughout the upcoming year. Expand your goals and follow

through with your plans. Think big and make things happen. Consider starting your own business.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Concentrate on whatever job you are given. If you become distracted or lose focus, mishaps will occur. Work on one concept at a time, rather than trying to multitask.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Consider an unexpected change to be an adventure.

Trying to fight progress is tiring and unrealistic. With your ability, any variation to your plan could work to your advantage.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Sharing time with family or friends will bring you

peace and joy. Make a resolution to be more attentive and affectionate in the new year.

Romance will enhance your personal life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your energy is lagging. Take time for personal pleasures in order to rejuvenate. A frantic pace will negatively influence your health. Do whatever it takes to eat properly and sleep well.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A social or business function will bring you in contact with an interesting and influential individual.

Share your thoughts, but resist the urge to embellish the truth or exaggerate your talents.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your sense of

humor and outgoing personality will make you the star of the show today. Entertain at home or attend a social function and take advantage of your ability to attract attention.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Business deals will prove more beneficial than family associations today. Spend time with colleagues or peers who can help you acquire the position you are after.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Meddling in someone else’s relationship is asking for trouble. Regardless of which side you favor, you risk alienating someone or hurting his or her feelings. It’s best to keep your opinions to yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Do your best to wrap up assignments or business responsibilities. Career matters may have taken a back seat to family events lately, but you need to get back on track and pursue your goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You should make the changes that you’ve been considering. Painting and redecorating will spruce up your surroundings, and exercise and a healthy diet will get you in tip-top shape.
