For 13 plaintiffs, pollution lawsuits came too late By KEVIN CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Sandy Wierschke was supposed to be dead six months after her brain cancer diagnosis. That was eight years ago. In July she held her first grandchild. Wierschke, one of the 33 plaintiffs in the McCullom Lake brain cancer lawsuits, has overcome tremendous odds – people diagnosed with deadly glioblastoma multiforme have a 3 percent chance of being alive five years after diagnosis. But other plaintiffs didn’t beat the odds. Some of them were dead long before their next of kin filed suit against Ringwood chemical manufacturer Rohm and Haas, blaming air and groundwater contamination for creating an alleged cancer cluster. Others died after joining the lawsuits, and some have died in the four-year legal limbo since the first case to go to trial was abruptly ended by a Philadelphia judge. That limbo officially ended last week when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court refused to hear the company’s appeal of a court ruling granting plaintiff Joanne Branham a new trial. Branham’s lawsuit, and 12 others, are on the behalf of the deceased.

n FRANKLIN BRANHAM Joanne Branham met her future husband, Franklin, at the Dog n’ Suds in McHenry in 1959. He was 19, she was 17.

About this series “Coincidence or Cluster?” is the Northwest Herald’s ongoing investigation of the McCullom Lake brain cancer lawsuits. They married the following year, and in 1962 moved into a house in McCullom Lake, just down the street from where Joanne grew up. They had five children and outgrew it. Franklin in 1977 built them a new one with his bare hands, with the help of friends. The Branhams moved to Arizona in 1997, and the seizures began two years later. An MRI in May 2004 revealed that he had glioblastoma multiforme. Doctors operated to remove as much as they could, but only gave him six months to live. He barely made it one month. Just after two of his daughters arrived for a Father’s Day visit, he collapsed on his front porch and died on June 18 at age 63.

ing homes. He founded his own building business, Kaw Construction, and worked on a side homebuilding venture with Franklin Branham and other local builders. He served a term as McCullom Lake’s village president in the late 1970s. Weisenberger was fixing a culvert in his yard when he felt a sting in his head and fell over. A good Samaritan stopped to help and called paramedics. Doctors concluded in 1998 that he had a brain tumor, but it was so deep that they could not biopsy or remove it without serious risk. After he suffered four seizures in January 2005, doctors diagnosed him with oligodendroglioma, a brain tumor so rare that only about one person in 300,000 gets it. Doctors gave Weisenberger two years to live after his 1998 diagnosis. He made it 15, but his health declined rapidly after emergency surgery last year to remove the tumor after it doubled in size. He died Oct. 11, 2013, at age 72, leaving behind a son, daughter, and seven grandchildren.

n JUDY WEISHEIT Frank Weisheit met and married his wife of 42 years, Judy, shortly after his honorable discharge from the Marine Corps. They lived in McCullom Lake for a while before buying a home in neighboring Ringwood, just west of the Rohm and Haas plant.

OAKWOOD HILLS – Those who filled the first few rows of the standing-room-only crowds at recent Oakwood Hills public hearings account for the total amount of people who cast a ballot at the last election. Like many municipalities throughout the country, numbers show Oakwood Hills residents have been much more reactive than proactive in civic participation. At the last election in April 2013, 11.4 percent of registered voters turned out to vote for village president and two trustee positions, only one of which had a candidate running. In that election, 183 voters of 1,602 registered cast a vote for trustee Paul Smith while all of those but one voted for the uncontested Melanie Funk as village president. It has been a consistent decline in the last decade for Oakwood Hills, where 36.7 percent of registered voters cast ballots in 2005, which featured a contested village presidential race and five people running for four trustee positions. Mike Riley, a resident of 35 years and an active protester of the proposed power plant that has stirred recent activ-

ism, said the declining interest and awareness in local government had been noticeable. “Shame on us as residents and shame on me for being so complacent,” Riley said. “Complacency is a killer ... and we’re reaping the results of our attitudes.” Riley said the residential unrest and call for change in leadership is similar to 2005 when a group called Concerned Citizens of Oakwood Hills came together and produced candidates to fight against annexing land west of Valley View Road and constructing a sewer plant on the same parcel of land now targeted for the proposed power plant. The group successfully placed a new president and three new trustees, including future village president John Theiss. Riley, who was active in that opposition group as well, said residents talked about staying active and vigilant but once the proposals were defeated everyone fell back into normal routines. He said he fears the same could happen once a resolution is reached in the power plant issue. “ T h e s a m e s e n t iments were stated the last time around but

Beyond governor race, big stakes in Illinois vote By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – Anyone in Illinois who’s turned on a TV in recent weeks knows the race for governor is shaping up as a no-holds-barred, no-expenses-spared slugfest. While the contest between Democratic incumbent Pat Quinn and Republican businessman Bruce Rauner could be one of the hardest fought and closely

watched races in the nation, there’s plenty more at stake up and down the Nov. 4 ballot. As the campaign heats up after Labor Day, here are five things to watch for as the election nears:

WILL GOP LEAVE DEMS RED-FACED? National Republicans see Illinois and a vulnerable Quinn as a prime opportunity to pick up a governorship in one of the Midwest’s

BUSINESS

last remaining Democratic strongholds. The added bonus, they say, is that winning the top job in Barack Obama’s home state would send a strong message that voters are rejecting Democrats’ agenda. Both parties and their allies are funneling millions into the race, as Democrats try to paint Rauner as an out-oftouch multimillionaire and Republicans blame Quinn for Illinois’ lagging economy and ongoing political

controversies.

BATTLEGROUND COOK COUNTY Both sides said Cook County will be the key battleground and are sending in foot soldiers to saturate Chicago and its inner suburbs to secure votes. Why? Look no further than the 2010 election. Quinn defeated Republican state Sen. Bill Brady by just under 32,000 votes, despite winning just four of Illinois’ 102 coun-

ties. But he won big in Cook – taking 64 percent, or about 500,000 more votes than Brady. This time, Quinn knows he has to do as well or better. But Rauner is aggressively courting Cook County voters, including the area’s large minority populations.

Two programs assist McCullom Lake couple with their home By LINDSAY WEBER editorial@nwherald.com McCULLOM LAKE – As of two months ago, Marcy and Warren Bailey were living in the middle of what can only be described as a manmade sinkhole. Their 800-square-foot home fell victim to dilapidation because of poor construction and 33 years of inhabitance with minimal upkeep. The floor of the bedroom was quickly collapsing and the wall caving in, pushing their bed onto an angle. The kitchen had acquired over three decades of grease build-up and the water heater was slowly sinking into the ground, causing the bathroom to be non-useable.

Property owners in two rural McHenry County townships have about one week left to appeal their assessments for next year’s taxes. Deadlines for assessment appeals in Hebron and Hartland townships are on Thursday and Friday, respectively. Deadlines for property owners in Dunham and McHenry townships will follow on Sept. 8 and Sept. 13. The publication of assessments in the local newspaper of record starts a 30-day period for property owners to contest their assessments, which will be used to calculate their 2015 property-tax bills. More than half of the county’s 17 townships have published, and the deadlines for six townships have already passed. The Thursday deadline for Hebron Township’s assessment appeals is also the deadline for taxpayers to pay their second and final installment of their 2014 property taxes. Assessments, or onethird of a property’s value, determine a property owner’s share of the tax revenue that county, municipal, school, township and other taxing districts receive. Each appeal is heard by a board of review, which at the end of the hearing makes a determination of the property’s value. Tax bills cannot be mailed out until every

n SUSAN KALASH

Dan Kalash was 17, working at a store at 51st and Halsted streets in Chicago in 1970 when 15-year-old Susan Gale walked in with a friend. It was love at first sight. Susan’s uncle – her parents were long dead – sent her to California to keep them apart. It didn’t work – they married on Valentine’s Day 1976. The couple spent almost every weekend staying with Dan’s parents in McCullom Lake. Dan and Susan eventually moved to the area, and Dan worked multiple jobs to feed their two children while Susan went back to school to become a licensed practical nurse. She collapsed and went into a coma in September 1996 at the hospital where she was being evaluated for seizures. The operation revealed that

n PATRICK KANE Kane stood out in a crowd, thanks to his 6-foot, 11-inch height. He actually stood more than 7 feet tall, but he hunched from his rapid childhood growth. Doctors found that he had a tumor on his pituitary gland, and its removal finally stopped his growth at age 23. He grew up on the McHenry side of the lake. Friends and family called him a gentle giant with a heart of gold. Friends set him up on a dinner date Sept. 18, 1987, with his future wife, Karen McCaffrey. She knew after their first conversation stretched into eight hours that she had met her future husband. They became engaged two months later, wed the following March, and later adopted five boys.

Kane died Oct. 20, 2005, of malignant melanoma – his lawsuit, like several others, claims that pollution from the factory caused his pituitary tumor. His death at age 51 wasn’t the only tragedy the family would face. Brain cancer claimed his mother, too.

Couple looking forward to remodeled home • HOME Continued from page A3 “We want to give them a safe and structurally sound home,” McClelland said. “A Brush with Kindness isn’t about simply remodeling people’s homes. We’re not building the Taj Mahal. We’re here to give them a safe and clean environment.” McClelland said they are not a maintenance service, but a program to help people that can’t maintain their home. Had they not stepped in when they did, McClelland was confident that the entire structure would have collapsed. Woodstock resident Ron Lillie, is a newbie to the Habitat for Humanity cause but after only four months, the longtime carpenter and home builder said he gets more out of working on these projects than constructing a $5 million home. “You live in your world and you don’t realize what’s going on around you,” said Lillie.

“We want to get these people pointed in the right direction and get them used to a new, changed environment where they appreciate the change and want to continue it.” Marcy Bailey said she is ready for said change and looks forward to a whole new start, which will include finding a home for her seven pet doves which currently reside in the home. The doves will need to be out of the Bailey’s home in order to ensure proper upkeep. The Baileys are living in the front area of the home during construction and are currently without running water. They use port-o-potties set in the front yard, access water from their neighbor and shower at Marcy’s sister’s home in the neighborhood. McClelland admits this is the most extensive project that he has taken on with A Brush with Kindness to date, but looks forward to the end result and getting the Baileys into a home that is once again,

livable. “Even the smallest thing to you is so huge for many of these people,” McClelland said. “Even just fixing a sink can make someone’s life so much better. I can’t even count the number of hugs I’ve received doing what we’re doing.” Surely Marcy Bailey is reserving many hugs for McClelland and his team for their efforts on the home. “It’s wonderful. It’s so nice to have people like that, who would do so much for you, when you can’t,” Bailey said. McClelland said he hopes to have the home finished by the end of October but is a bit leery due to a need for additional help during the week that he said is hard to find. “You’d be surprised how much of a difference even an extra pair of hands can make,” McClelland said. “I hope we can get a few more hands out here during the week to give the Baileys the safe home they deserve.”

get one. She always set a place at the table for her children’s many friends. The retired home health nurse loved going on adventures with her youngest child, Kristin. They backpacked through Europe and the east coast of Australia. When Julianna Mass was 60, they went bungee jumping on a trip to New Zealand. She started getting severe headaches in 2006. She thought she had Parkinson’s disease. The MRI instead revealed glioblastoma multiforme. She died Dec. 31, 2007, at age 68, leaving behind seven children and 14 grandchildren.

n JUDY ROSZAK Roszak was a dedicated daughter to her two elderly parents. The registered nurse and mother of four would come to their house on the McHenry side of the lake several times a week to help them with whatever needed to be done. But she also gave her time to help make the world a better place. She worked with her brother’s charity, traveling the world to build playgrounds for children in places devastated by war. She was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme in September 2006, barely a year after her retirement. Doctors after surgery gave her six to nine months to live. Roszak the nurse knew her odds. She decided against chemotherapy and radiation, deciding to live what time she had left to the fullest and not be bedridden by treatment. She died April 2, 2007, just six months shy of her 70th birthday.

n JAMES BOOTH

Booth’s life revolved around providing for his family of eight children and stepchildren as a maintenance engineer at Follett Software Co. in McHenry. When he allowed himself leisure time, he could be found in his garage, working on the two classic cars he had acquired. Booth lived for more than 20 years on the McHenry side of the lake and lived only a few houses down from three other plaintiffs. When he was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme in April 2010, he vowed to his family that he would do whatever it took to beat the disease. But doctors in February 2011 told him to get comfortable and get his house in order. He died a month later, on March 16, at age 61.

n LLOYD POWELL Even in retirement, Powell didn’t want to sit idle. Two years after he and his wife moved to Sun City Huntley, they built and opened Powell’s Car Wash and Detail Center – their second on top of their existing car wash business in Arlington Heights. Powell worked his way up through his life in the manufacturing business, but always made time to fish, play golf and travel. He also loved 12inch softball, and played third base for a team up until his retirement. He fought a two-year battle with oligoastrocytoma brain cancer, but died Jan. 27, 2012, at age 51. He left behind his wife, two grown children and seven grandchildren.

DETOUR

Johnsburg roundabout open to traffic By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Gentlemen, and ladies, start your engines! Let’s drive around in circles in Johnsburg! But you’ll have to wait a bit longer before you can bypass Algonquin. • JOHNSBURG ROUNDABOUT: The three-year project to improve Johnsburg Road came to an end Friday with the opening of the roundabout, the first in the county. The detour of Routes 31, 120 and Chapel Hill Road is lifted. The $2.7 million roundabout was the second phase of a project to improve Johnsburg Road. The first phase, which improved Johnsburg Road from Route 31 east to the roundabout, was finished earlier this year. • ALGONQUIN WESTERN BYPASS: The long-awaited bypass around the infamous bottleneck at the intersection of Routes 31 and 62 was supposed to open to traffic last week, but rainy weather has delayed striping work. It is now scheduled to open

Thursday. The two-year, $33.3 million construction project added a 2.1-mile, four-lane highway around downtown Algonquin to bypass the infamous Route 31-62 intersection. • ROUTES 31 AND 176: With the bypass and the roundabout finishing up, one wonders why the intersection of Routes 31 and 176 isn’t finished yet. We’re working to get that answer. • RANDALL ROAD: Patching work is expected to start next month on Randall Road between Harnish Drive and Alexandra Boulevard. Most of it will be done at night to minimize traffic impact. The project is expected to be finished by October. • ROUTES 31 AND 120: Work is ongoing on a $7.2 million project to widen and resurface Route 120 from Front Street to Green Street and Route 31 from Route 120 north to McCullom Lake Road. It includes improvement of the intersection and replacement of the bridge over the creek that feeds into the Fox River. The new lane configuration

remains in effect this weekend, as do the lane closures on Route 120. The project is expected to be finished by November. • FRANKLINVILLE ROAD: The road between Route 176 and Kunde Road is now closed so workers can replace a 60-yearold bridge. A posted detour will take drivers on a long stretch that includes Route 176, Millstream Road, Garden Valley Road, Vermont Road, Kishwaukee Valley Road and Hobe Road. The $1 million project is expected to be finished by the end of September, weather permitting. • COUNTRY CLUB ROAD: Expect delays as workers start a $1.4 million project to resurface, patch and stripe the road through Bull Valley. The project is expected to be finished in September. • ROUTE 31: Work is ongoing to widen Route 31 to four lanes from Rakow Road in Crystal Lake south to Trinity Drive in Lake in the Hills. The $5.2 million project is expected to be finished by next spring. • INTERSTATE 90: Budget

Weather permitting, bypass slated to open on Thursday ALGONQUIN – After three years of construction, the long-awaited Algonquin Bypass will open Thursday, weather permitting. The announcement from Gov. Pat Quinn’s office comes after the Illinois Department of Transportation earlier this week said recent rainy weather would prohibit a pre-Labor Day debut of the $88.5 million project. At that time, IDOT spokesman Guy Tridgell said striping and lattice work were among the items that needed to be finished before vehicle traffic could travel on the road. Part of the governor’s Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program, the bypass is a 2.11mile, four-lane segment of Route 31 that will enable through traffic to travel around Algonquin’s downtown area. The project, which has the bypass going from Edgewood Drive to just south of Klasen Road, includes bridges over Algonquin Road and Crystal Creek, along with a new interchange between the bypass and Route 62.

portation Secretary Erica Borggren acknowledged people have been waiting a long time for the completion of this project. “This new roadway has been a long time coming, but the positive impacts will be felt immediately,” Borggren said. “I am thrilled that this important project is coming to a conclusion and even more proud of the outstanding cooperation with our federal and local partners that has made this day happen.” The $88.5 million project, which created over 1,000 construction jobs, is being funded by the state and the federal government, along with local contributions. During the next few weeks, motorists are advised to take caution while workers finish landscaping and cleaning up the work zone. Along with new or upgraded sidewalks and bike paths, the project also incorporated more than 500 trees, 480 bushes and 16,000 plants. Come spring, an additional portion of the project will include ongoing efforts to widen and reconstruct Route 31 between Trinity Drive and Rakow Road. This will provide two lanes in either direction on Route 31, from Edgewood Drive to Route 176.

extra time if your commute involves I-90. Work continues this year to improve a 37-mile segment of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway between Elgin and Interstate 39 in Rockford. Eastbound lanes were improved last year, so traffic is being shifted to them so workers can improve the westbound lanes. That work should be finished by the end of the year. But work also has started to improve a 25-mile segment of I-90 from Elgin east to the Tri-State Tollway. That work is expected to be finished by the end of 2015. The total cost of the project, meant to widen and improve I-90 between Rockford and O’Hare International Airport, is $2.5 billion. • ROUTE 176: Work is continuing for an upgrade to the intersection of Route 176 and Smith Road in unincorporated Nunda Township. The $1.5 million project is expected to be finished by November.

CL, McHenry have already turned down backyard hens Trustee Bob Bragg said he would be against the idea of backyard hens. “I’m old fashioned,” Bragg said. “Chickens should be on a farm. We have enough domesticated animals that residents don’t take care of. We don’t need an additional one. I’m open to hear about it, but it’s weird to me to have chickens.” A majority of Chicago-area municipalities have either prohibited backyard chickens, or put in place very strict regulations, which ultimately restrict the number of residents eligible to have the birds, said Chris Stilling, Cary’s director of community and economic development. Communities such as McHenry and Crystal Lake in 2011 discussed the possibility of backyard hens, but their city councils ultimately stopped the plans. The Lake in the Hills Village Board turned down backyard chickens in 2012. Draft regulations proposed by Cary officials include a maximum of four hens per property, no roosters, keeping chickens confined to a coop or run, and restricting chickens to zoning districts for single-family detached houses. “These are regulations that are manageable,” Stilling said. Trustee Jeff Kraus said he wants more discussion on the matter. “I have a problem with people who look at chickens and have an aversion to chickens in your backyard versus three big dogs in your backyard,” Kraus said. “I would rather have three chickens in my neighbor’s backyard than three big dogs that are back there barking at 6 o’clock in the morning.” Kraus said that he believe that a dog would just be as likely as a chicken to carry a disease. “What makes the difference between the two is whether or not you’re keeping basic hygiene,” Kraus said. “That’s the deciding factor if an animal is going to carry a disease.” Trustee Karen Lukasik said she would want to hear from residents, and that she’s not against the idea. “I think there’s things we have to monitor to be sure that we don’t leave any stone unturned,” Lukasik said.

Townships are publishing property-tax assessments for 2014 that will be used to calculate next year’s tax bills.

Gov. Pat Quinn (from left), Vice President Joe Biden, and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel talk after participating in a roundtable discussion Aug. 25 with small business owners to highlight the importance of raising the minimum wage in Chicago. Quinn has made raising the minimum wage a cornerstone of his re-election campaign against challenger Republican businessman Bruce Rauner. Biden is expected at a Quinn fundraiser later Monday.

Voter turnout among Dems concerns • STATE Continued from page A1 second-ranking Senate Democrat, faces a challenge from state Sen. Jim Oberweis, who’s familiar to voters because of a chain of dairies that bear his family name – and a string of failed runs for office before securing his statehouse seat. Oberweis has acknowledged he’s made mistakes in his previous bids – including flying over Soldier Field during a TV commercial to criticize people who enter the U.S. illegally – but so far he’s avoided gaffes this time. He’s instead focused on labeling Durbin as a career politician who doesn’t know how to turn the economy around. Durbin said he’ll tout his record of creating jobs in Illinois, including getting the federal Bureau of Prisons to reopen the shuttered Thomson Correctional Center.

TURNOUT WORRIES DOWNTICKET RACES Also hotly contested this year are races for state treasurer, comptroller and a handful of congressional seats. Republican state Rep. Tom Cross, a former House GOP leader from Oswego, is taking on state Sen. Mike Frerichs of Champaign for treasurer in a contest that has seen more controversy than usual, including accusations of financial mismanagement and unpaid taxes. In the comptroller’s race, Republican Judy Baar Topinka faces a challenge from Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, who decided not to run again with Quinn. Each of them offers a little history: the long-serving Topinka is

Democrats who control the state Legislature have worked up a number of ways to entice voters to the polls – a matter of particular concern in an off-year election, when people are more likely to stay home. On the campaign trail, they will be busy promoting several referendums, including non-binding questions asking voters if Illinois should raise the minimum wage to $10 per hour and impose an additional tax on millionaires. They also gave an OK to same-day voter registration – but only for this year. Critics said the moves were cynical attempts to bring out an otherwise uninspired Democratic base.

Position on zoning board, Oakwood Hills Village Board still available once things quieted down after we put a new slate [of leaders] in we all got complacent,” Riley said. “It will quiet down again, but personally I want to keep being at all the meetings.” Martin Gierut, who still serves on the village zoning board after being appointed by Theiss, said it is refreshing to see people involved again but wishes it would be more consistent. Gierut has been involved in numerous committees and

While both Gierut and Riley are skeptical the power plant proposal will ignite long-term change in local civic activity, they are hopeful. Gierut said there is an opening on the zoning board and Oakwood Hills Village Board still available for interested residents. Riley, who turned down an opportunity to run in 2005, said he would accept an appointment to a board this time around if the olive branch was extended.

He was elected with 245 votes. “There is an old saying that those that show up, govern,” Gierut said. “If people don’t get involved, it’s just not a good process. What I think is going to happen is some representatives from the [opposition] group will get elected in and things will calm down and unfortunately revert back to apathy.” Residents have gained a better understanding of the process, Gierut said, noting many now realize the zoning board is legally required to

SKETCH VIEW

A deserving day off for U.S. workers For the lucky ones, Monday is a day off. Maybe you’ll sleep in, fire up the grill For the record and enjoy one last summer hurrah. As America’s workers enjoy Monday is Laa welcome day off, Illinois conbor Day, a day to tinues to fall behind the rest of celebrate the social the country in job growth. and economic achievements of workers. Everyone who works deserves recognition for the contributions they bring to the economy. A day off that honors workers seems the least the country can do. Granted, those who aren’t working – but looking for a job – deserve a day to be recognized too. It hasn’t been easy for years for many of our residents. The picture might be getting a little brighter: In July, the unemployment rate in Illinois was 6.8 percent – down from 9.2 percent a year ago, according to the Joint Economic Committee for the U.S. Congress. Locally, McHenry County’s jobless rate fell to 5.7 percent, compared with 8.2 percent in July 2013. Statewide, private sector jobs in Illinois grew by 11,200 jobs in July. Since February 2010 (the national low point for private-sector employment), Illinois private-sector employers have added 260,400 jobs, according to the Illinois Economic Snapshot from the Joint Economic Committee. There were 445,400 Illinois residents unemployed during July, down from a recent high of 753,500 in January 2010. Still, there are 78,300 more people unemployed in Illinois than when the recession began, according to the Joint Economic Committee. The state’s unemployment rate lags behind the country’s, which was 6.2 percent in July, and other Midwest states. And while private sector employment is growing, Illinois ranks near the bottom of the country in overall job creation since the Great Recession ended. The Associated Press reported July 18 that Illinois ranked 42nd in job creation, with 5.81 million jobs in June 2014, up 3 percent from 5.64 million in June 2009, according to the U.S. Labor Department. There is still much that can be done to improve the working climate in Illinois – and we should be pressuring our lawmakers to take action. The 67 percent “temporary” personal income tax increase and 46 percent corporate income tax rate passed in 2011 should be allowed to sunset in January. Lower taxes could encourage business growth. There have been improvements in workers compensation – it was announced in July that the National Council on Compensation Insurance recommended a 5.5 percent cut in the rates for next year – but statewide, business leaders have said more needs to be done to create a more hospitable business environment. And, of course, we’d like to see serious action that actually addresses the state’s ever-growing pension liability. Those who earned a pension deserve to know what they can count on, and all taxpayers deserve to know the state is committed to easing taxpayers’ burden. Labor Day is the unofficial end to summer. It’s often also considered the kick off to earnest campaigning for the November elections. We encourage all our readers to educate themselves on where candidates stand when it comes to improving the state’s work environment.

ANOTHER VIEW

Moment of reckoning Afghanistan faces ever deepening security and political crises. As American troops withdraw, Taliban military advances are threatening entire districts. NATO leaders are scheduled to hold a summit meeting this week that is supposed to reaffirm the alliance’s commitment to keep supporting Afghanistan’s security forces, which, like the rest of the government, are heavily dependent on international aid. It will be hard to justify continued assistance if Afghan politicians are unable to form a government with a new president. Yet, Afghanistan’s rival presidential candidates, Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah, are putting the country’s stability at risk in refusing to agree on a winner two months after the disputed election to replace President Hamid Karzai. Although Karzai’s successor was supposed to have been sworn in on Monday, the country’s Independent Election Commission still has not completed a United Nations-supervised audit of 8.1 million disputed ballots. The best available solution is for Abdullah and Ghani to cooperate fully with the ballot audit, accept the results, and quickly form a functioning government that reflects the country’s diversity. If they manage to do that, there might be some hope that they could, in time, restore voter trust and put Afghanistan on the path to a real democracy. New York Times

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Government splurge To the Editor: When is this government going to be for the people and by the people as it states in the U.S. Constitution? Let the people vote by ballot as it should be concerning term limits. Also, let businesses operate without interference and government controlling owners’ decisions on operations and wages. Increasing the minimum wage will only increase inflation and, of course, increase taxes, so the government can splurge at a greater extent.

human trafficking. I am an American citizen and have to abide by the laws or atone for my crimes. So should our politicians, present and past. I would like to formally charge every politician – mayors, congressmen, senators and the president – who participates in this with 20 million counts of aiding and abetting, plus human trafficking! It’s time for them to start abiding by the laws they made and remind them they are all public servants and accountable for their crimes.

Aiding and abetting

Not enough jobs

To the Editor: I have read our Constitution as it should be read, in black and white (as it was written), and I have read it in “grey,” as our politicians do (in their own interpretation, except for the Fifth Amendment, which they love), and have not found where politicians are above the laws of our country. With that being said, if I were to aid and abet a criminal, or participate in human trafficking, I would go to jail for this. These laws seem not to apply to our politicians, both Republican and Democrat, today or in the past, and they made the laws to begin with. Our country does not have open borders, but it sure seems like it does. Illegal immigrants come in at will. We have federal laws that are on the books about coming into our country illegally, and laws against aiding and abetting and

To the Editor: The first thing we need to do to get our economy back on track is to get accurate figures from our government. Soon, our government officials start believing their own misaligned figures. Gov. Pat Quinn says the unemployment rate is down from 9 percent last year to approximately 6 percent this year. He failed to mention that more than 300,000 people were taken off the unemployment list because they are not looking for work anymore. That is not the same as a person having a job paying taxes, etc. Where do the 300,000 get their money for food and shelter? If you believe the inflation rate of about 1 percent a year and 0 percent in three of the past four years, I have some land in Florida I’ll sell you. In the consumer price index, they don’t count food, fuel

and medical expense. Medical expense is counted as 1 percent of the average family expense. We are retired and I bet real estate taxes, food, fuel and medical expenses are about 95 percent of our budget. Pension plans are designed to work with an interest rate of about 3.5 percent plus anticipated inflation rate. With a CD rate of 1/2 to 1 percent, you cannot save enough for retirement. About 200 years ago, about 90 percent of the people were employed producing food, fuel and clothing. Today, less than 2 percent of the farmers produce all the food we need. Where are the other 98 percent going to find work? Walter J. Steffens Johnsburg

Williams and depression To the Editor: On the death of Robin Williams, President Barack Obama said this: “He was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien, but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit.” I could not explain him better. The life of a man who’s brought so much joy to others would end on a sad note.

I hate depression. I saw it in my wife. I hear about it through others and, yes, there are days I feel it. With all the infighting we do, we need to fight the battles we need to be fighting. Right now, we live in a society that has anger, division, ignorance and low esteem, adding depression and mental illness. They affect us all, famous or not. Depression affects the brain as well as the human spirit. It’s an illness that leads some to give up. But medicine alone is not enough. We need a spirit of challenge that tells us not to give up, but to stand up saying, “Oh Captain, My Captain.” I will not give up on myself or others. Our society is suffering because it’s not uplifting. Our spirits are dragging, and we must save them from depression. We must understand that depression is all our battle, and we must fight it together, building hope not division. The world, as life itself, is tough enough. But we’re in this together. Robin indeed was one of a kind, but so are you; so is our loved ones. God bless you. Bob DeLacy Jr. Marengo

Opening the dialogue on mental illness In response to the tragic death of Robin Williams, a new dialogue about mental illness is beginning. Depression, substance abuse and suicide are all topics being talked about more freely and willingly since the talented actor’s death. And, it is our duty to ourselves, our loved ones and our community to continue the dialogue about mental illness. Now is the time to cast a lifeline to those individuals facing depression, thoughts of suicide and other diagnoses – to let them know they are not alone before it is too late. The reality is that many people in our own community lost their battle with mental illness, just as Robin Williams did. Since the beginning of the year, 13 McHenry County residents committed suicide. And although their deaths were not reported by national news outlets or immortalized in thousands of Facebook feeds, they are still mourned and grieved for. Those 13 people are remembered by the

VIEWS Emily LeFew ones that they were closest to – the parents, spouses, children and friends they left behind. In the U.S. today, mental illness is so very prevalent. Unfortunately, almost no one is willing to talk about it. In McHenry County alone, one in five residents has a mental illness, but there still is shame when it comes to these disorders. If so many people are facing the same issues, why should they hide? No one is saying, “I’m struggling.” In our society, it is difficult to admit that you need help because there is so much stigma surrounding seeking help and support. Asking for help, though, is a sign of courage. It takes an honorable, strong person

to be self-aware enough to see their own struggles and seek out help. We in the business of helping those with mental illnesses recognize that more public education needs to happen. We want people to know that they are not alone and that there are people that care and are ready to help. I challenge you today to reach out to someone who seems to be struggling and let them know that you care about them and that there are places ready and willing to help them in their journey to feeling whole again. In the coming weeks and months, help us keep the dialogue open. Join Pioneer Center for Human Services in its mission “to empower individuals to achieve their full potential” and rally behind people with mental illness.

GOP sees gains in Ill. voters tuning out

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

ILLINOIS 2

AP file photo

U.S. Rep. Bob Dold, R-Ill., campaigns at a downtown Chicago commuter rail station Nov. 5, 2012, during his unsuccessful re-election bid against Democrat Brad Schneider. Dold is running again to try and unseat Schneider in the November 2014 election. jority in the state’s congressional delegation, having reversed the Republicans’ earlier 11-8 advantage. Illinois lost one seat after the 2010 census. David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, said the sour voter mood compounds the typical problems faced by the party in power during midterm elections. To many, Washington appears to be paralyzed by partisan conflicts while national and international crises have unfolded. “Some voters are just giving up on the political process, and I think that will help Republicans,” he said. “The party in power always has trouble in midterms, but this could be more pronounced.” Another possible factor is a Democrat at the top of the ticket, Gov. Pat Quinn. Quinn’s approval ratings are among the lowest of the nation’s governors and he has angered some traditional Democratic allies, such as union members, for

supporting reduced state worker benefits to deal with the state pension crisis. “I think you’re going to see a lot of Democrats just staying home,” Yepsen said. “I think that starts to hurt other Democrats up and down the tickets.” Congressional candidates have encountered the general malaise as they make their campaign rounds. Congress “has lost sight of the average Americans’ needs and wants and concerns,” said Albert Weidlich, an 84-year-old retiree after a candidate forum in Decatur during Congress’ annual August recess. Katie Prill, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said the GOP’s Illinois strategy has changed from defense to offense. The NRCC has spent a half million dollars on television ads to support Dold against Schneider, and a total of $1.4 million to support Mike Bost, who is facing the Democrat Enyart, and Davis in their races.

Salaita’s defenders said the decision violates his academic freedom, a concept that along with the tenure that shields professors from fallout over unpopular or controversial opinions goes far beyond the legal protections shared by workers in most businesses.

SPRINGFIELD – If you’ve ever wondered how Americans waged war 100 years ago, the Illinois State Military Museum will give you a glimpse of the past. The Springfield museum plans to put uniforms, weapons and other equipment on display that was used by the Illinois National Guard during a 1916 border campaign against Pancho Villa. The Mexican revolutionary raided New Mexico, and Maj. Gen. John Pershing launched a yearlong effort to get him. Illinois’ guardsmen were mobilized along the Texas border. A Friday press release from the National Guard said the campaign was the first time the Army used airplanes and trucks. It turned out to be a dress rehearsal for American participation in World War I. The items will be displayed at the military museum, starting Sept. 6.

But in July, as Israel and the Palestinians battled in Gaza, Salaita frequently used Twitter – sometimes authoring dozens of messages a day, many with obscenities – criticizing Israel, Arab nations and others. For example, in a post on July 20, he wrote: “Zionists: transforming ‘antisemitism’ from something horrible into something honorable since 1948.” Emails recently released by the university to The Associated Press show that dozens of people urged Wise in July and early August not to hire Salaita.

DECATUR – The candidates for Illinois congressional seats heard all about it during visits with voters in August: Disgust with Washington. Dismay over accusations and negative advertising in Illinois’ state races. Lack of interest in the Nov. 4 election. While the complaints transcend party allegiances and demographic boundaries, Republicans are aiming to capitalize on the frustrations and predicted low voter turnout to take back a number of congressional districts across Illinois and help the GOP solidify its hold on the House just two years after losing most of the state’s competitive seats. Among the incumbents targeted as vulnerable are freshmen Democrats Brad Schneider, who represents the suburbs north of Chicago, Bill Enyart, who represents southern Illinois, and Cheri Bustos, who represents a swath of northwestern and central Illinois. Meanwhile, both sides are pouring money into a tough contest pitting one of the GOP’s own freshman, Rodney Davis, against former Madison County Circuit Court Judge Ann Callis in the bow-tie shaped district that stretches from Champaign to the St. Louis suburbs. Two of the races are rematches from 2012, when Schneider defeated first-term GOP Rep. Bob Dold and Bustos defeated first-term GOP Rep. Bobby Schilling. The Democratic victories two years ago were aided by turnout for President Barack Obama and a new congressional district map, drawn by Democrats in Springfield that heavily favors Democrats. They currently hold a 12-6 ma-

University of Illinois facing scrutiny over job-offer decision URBANA – The University of Illinois is facing scrutiny as classes resume from some of its faculty, other academics and students over its decision to rescind a job offer to a professor after his prolific, sometimes profane use of Twitter to voice anger at Israel. Phyllis Wise, the chancellor of the university’s Urbana-Champaign campus, said she decided not to hire Steven Salaita, a professor of American Indian studies, over concerns about what she called demeaning and abusive language.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Millions of students will sit down at computers this year to take new tests rooted in the Common Core standards for math and reading, but policymakers in many states are having buyer’s remorse. The fight to repeal the standards has heated up in Ohio, with state Rep. Andy Thompson, a Republican, saying it’s kind of “creepy the way this whole thing landed in Ohio with all the things prepackaged.” It’s playing out in Louisiana, where GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal is in a nasty feud involving his former ally, Education Superintendent John White. Jindal has sued the Obama administration, accusing Washington of illegally manipulating federal grant money and regulations to force states to adopt the Common Core education standards. The standards were scrapped this year in Indiana and Oklahoma. Governors in North Carolina, South Carolina and Missouri have signed legislation to reconsider the standards, even though they still will be used in those three states this fall. Like many critics, Thompson and Jindal base their opposition on federal support of the standards. But states led the Common Core movement that really took off in 2009 and that effort was voluntary. The administration offered incentives to states to adopt college and career-ready standards, and Common Core fit the bill. The incentives included cash grants and permission to ignore parts of the much-maligned No Child Left Behind law. The standards emphasize critical thinking and spell out what reading and math skills students should grasp at each grade level, while leaving how

Study: Novel heart failure drug shows big promise The Associated Press A new study reports one of the biggest potential advances against heart failure in more than a decade – a first-of-akind, experimental drug that lowered the chances of death or hospitalization by about 20 percent. Doctors said the Novartis drug – which doesn’t have a name yet – seems like one of those rare, breakthrough therapies that could quickly change care for more than half of the 6 million Americans and 24 million people worldwide with heart failure. “This is a new day” for patients, said Dr. Clyde Yancy, cardiology chief at Northwest-

ern University in Chicago and a former American Heart Association president. “It’s been at least a decade since we’ve had a breakthrough of this magnitude,” said Yancy, who had no role in the study. It involved nearly 8,500 people in 47 countries and was the largest experiment ever done in heart failure. It was paid for, designed and partly run by Novartis, based in Basel, Switzerland. Independent monitors stopped the study in April, seven months earlier than planned, when it was clear the drug was better than an older one that is standard now. During the 27-month study, the Novartis drug cut the chances of dying of heart-re-

lated causes by 20 percent and for any reason by 16 percent, compared to the older drug. It also reduced the risk of being hospitalized for heart failure by 21 percent. “We are really excited,” said one study leader, Dr. Milton Packer of UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. The benefit “exceeded our original expectations.” Results were disclosed Saturday at a European Society of Cardiology conference in Barcelona and published online by the New England Journal of Medicine. Novartis will seek approval for the drug – for now called LCZ696 – by the end of this year in the United States and early next year in Europe.

EU sets Russia ultimatum, threatens new sanctions By JUERGEN BAETZ and JIM HEINTZ The Associated Press BRUSSELS – Despite tough rhetoric decrying Russia’s increasing military involvement in Ukraine, European Union leaders on Sunday stopped short of imposing new sanctions against Moscow right away. Instead, the 28-nation bloc’s heads of state and government tasked their executive body to “urgently undertake preparatory work” for tougher economic sanctions, according to summit chairman Herman Van Rompuy. The sanctions will depend on the evolution of the situation on the ground but “ev-

erybody is fully aware that we have to act quickly,” he added. The preparatory work will start Monday, he added. The fighting between the military and Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine has so far claimed 2,600 lives, according to U.N. figures. NATO said this week that at least 1,000 Russian soldiers are in Ukraine, which Russia denies. Another 20,000 Russian troops are amassed just across Ukraine’s eastern border, NATO said. The U.S. and the EU have so far imposed sanctions against dozens of Russian officials, several companies as well as the country’s financial and arms industry. Moscow has retaliated by

banning food imports. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the new sanctions would target the same sectors as previous punitive measures, which also included an export ban for some high technology and oil exploration equipment. Several European leaders had called for additional sanctions at the outset of the meeting in Brussels, but the fear of an economic backlash apparently prevailed and led the bloc to grant Russia another chance at avoiding tougher action. New sanctions would have required unanimity among the leaders. Russia is the EU’s No. 3 trading partner and one of its

biggest oil and gas suppliers. The EU, in turn, is Russia’s biggest commercial partner, making any sanctions more biting than similar measures adopted by the U.S. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, who briefed the leaders at the beginning of their talks, said a strong response was needed to the “military aggression and terror” facing his country. “Thousands of the foreign troops and hundreds of the foreign tanks are now on the territory of Ukraine,” Poroshenko told reporters in English. “There is a very high risk not only for peace and stability for Ukraine, but for the whole ... of Europe.” Conceding ground in the

face of a reinvigorated rebel offensive, Ukraine said Saturday that it was abandoning a city where its forces have been surrounded by rebels for days. Government forces were also pulling back from another it had claimed to have taken control of two weeks earlier. The statements by Col. Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for the national security council, indicate that Ukrainian forces face increasingly strong resistance from Russian-backed separatist rebels just weeks after racking up significant gains and forcing rebels out of much of the territory they had held. The office of the Donetsk

mayor reported in a statement that at least two people died in an artillery attack on one of Donetsk’s neighborhoods. Shelling was reported elsewhere in the city, but there was no immediate word on casualties. Poroshenko told reporters he believed efforts to halt the violence in eastern Ukraine were “very close to a point of no return,” warning that failure could lead to a “full-scale war.” European leaders also issued dire warnings, reflecting their concern over the most recent military escalation with the opening of a new front by the Russian-backed rebels in southeastern Ukraine.

Obama’s immigration decision still delayed By JOSH LEDERMAN and ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s possible delay in taking action on immigration has thrown advocates and lawmakers from both parties a curveball, barely two months before the midterm elections. Democrats who were bracing for the impact that Obama’s long-awaited announcement would have on their campaigns are now rethinking aspects of their strategy for the fall. Republicans who were considering legislative attempts to block Obama must reconsider whether that’s the best use of the few remaining work weeks before Election Day. And immigration advocates, already frustrated by how long it’s taken Obama to act, must decide whether to pressure the president publicly to stop stalling or remain hopeful he’ll give them a favorable outcome in the end. Obama in June said that by the end of the summer, he’d announce what steps he had decided to take to fix the

nation’s immigration system in the absence of a legislative fix from Capitol Hill. But Obama backed away from that deadline on Thursday, and the White House on Friday acknowledged it was possible the decision would slip past the end of summer. It was unclear whether any delay would be a mere matter of weeks or could push the announcement past the November elections. “The president is determined to take the kinds of steps that are available to him,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. But he added he had no details about when that would happen. Reluctant to be seen as putting on the brakes for political reasons, White House officials suggested that if the decision slips past summer, it would be because of the situation on the border, not the election. For months, the Obama administration has been working to stem the surge of unaccompanied minors crossing into the U.S. Those numbers have declined, but officials have said the numbers could creep back up as cooler temperatures arrive in the fall.

CARY-GROVE 38, WHEATON NORTH 28

Trojans stick to game plan By MIKE DeFABO mdefabo@shawmedia.com CARY – When it comes to football bucket lists, CaryGrove’s Tyler Pennington has experienced just about everything a player could ask for. Playoff victories? Yup. 100yard games? Sure. Touchdown runs? He had one Saturday. But Saturday afternoon, when the lightning-suspended game resumed, the senior running back enjoyed a football first when he caught a 3-yard touchdown pass. “Never done that,” he said after the Trojans’ 38-28 victory over Wheaton North at CaryGrove High School. Pressed to think of a time when he might have caught a touchdown, Pennington finally remembered one. “Once,” he said, his eyes lighting up above his smudged eye black. “I was 6. It’s been a while.” Pennington, who carried the ball 20 times for 78 yards, isn’t alone. The Trojans ran the ball 48 times, while throwing it only seven this weekend. Compare that with Wheaton North, which threw the ball 50 times – yes, 50 – out of the spread. This is by design, of course. The dominant offensive line

and efficient option offense is Cary-Grove’s identity. It’s the reason the Trojans are ranked No. 3 in Class 7A. “Everything that we do in our passing game is based off of some kind of action,” said Cary-Grove coach Brad Seaburg. “It’s all about establishing our running game before we even consider throwing the ball.” But while the Trojans’ passes were certainly infrequent, they were also effective. Highly effective. Consider the results on quarterback Jason Gregoire’s four completions:

• A 7-yard completion. • A 32-yard pass that to set up a scoring drive. • A fourth-and-1 conversion. • The touchdown to Pennington. The fourth-and-1 call was the boldest call of the bunch, as it came on a critical drive with the Trojans leading just 14-7 in the second quarter. “It was Coach Seaburg’s [call] all the way,” said Gregoire, who rushed for 51 yards and passed for 52. “We thought we could get over the corner, because the corner was biting up. He did exactly what we thought and it was wide open. It was just an easy pitch and catch.” With all those successful passing plays, perhaps the Trojans might spread the ball around a little more next game. Maybe abandon that option for a four-wide receiver set. Toss the ball 50 times like Wheaton North. Let’s ask the guy who caught that fourtth-down pass and the 32-yarder. What do you say Kevin Hughes? “Umm,” he paused, looking as if someone suggested the Trojans should try a cheerleader at quarterback. “I think we’re going to just stick with the game plan.”

HAMPSHIRE 28, BURLINGTON CENTRAL 18

Mohlman, Whip-Purs overcome penalties By GREG LEASURE sports@nwherald.com HAMPSHIRE – It took about 17 hours, but Hampshire won its football season opener over Burlington Central, 28-18, in the completion of a lightning-suspended, nonconference game Saturday. After a slow start Friday night, the Whip-Purs (1-0) wasted no time in showing off some of their offensive weapons Saturday. Quarterback Nick Mohlman found Xavier Bennett for big gains through the air. Mason Fleury (95 rushing yards) and Jake Manning (two rushing touchdowns) also made significant contributions on the ground. Penalties also were a problem for Hampshire throughout the game. The Whips faced many third-and-long situations throughout the game, but they

always seemed to find a way to convert them. According to Rockets coach Rich Crabel, defensive lapses played a part in those problems, but at times, the athleticism of Hampshire’s offense was just too much. Mohlman and Hampshire coach Mike Brasile said the break between Friday night and Saturday morning was just what the team needed. “[It was] definitely a weird situation with the way things went last night,” Mohlman said. “Coming into today, we didn’t have the same jitters that we had going into last night.” The Hampshire defense also showed signs of rust early in the game. Poor tackling often led to yards after contact by Rockets running backs, but those problems seemed to disappear as the game wore on. “We still have a couple of things to work out, but we’re

ALDEN-HEBRON 43, CHRISTIAN LIBERTY 7

Cashmore makes big plays in Green Giants’ victory By ROB SMITH rsmith@shawmedia.com HEBRON – After pouncing on Christian Liberty to take a 27-point lead in the first quarter, the biggest challenge for the Alden-Hebron football team was maintaining its focus Saturday. The Giants went on to win, 43-7, in a Northeastern Athletic Conference matchup. A-H coach John Lalor said what he wanted his players to take away from the game is that it’s not always going to be that easy. You’ve still got to focus on your assignments no matter what the score is. “I think it’s that way for any kid,” Lalor said of the struggle to maintain focus. “There’s still some coaching moments.” What the lead did provide was an opportunity for Lalor to play his whole lineup. “We got to play a lot of guys,” Lalor said. “We wanted to get the young guys in.” Quarterback Colton Cashmore hit Cody Nelson for a 40-yard pass on the first play from scrimmage for the Giants and they reconnected on a 10-

yard pass for the first touchdown. The Giants would go on to score three offensive touchdowns on their first three possessions and added an interception return by Josh Johnson and a safety in the first quarter. Cashmore said it’s tough not to be overconfident after big plays and multiple scoring drives to start the game. “We had to keep focus and not get our heads too high,” Cashmore said. “When you have the lead it’s a little tougher.” Lalor gave credit to his offensive line of Alec O’Halleran, Trent Redlin, Marshal Glenn, Taylor Glenn and Kristian Rapa for helping A-H gain 230 yards on the ground, 175 in the first half. “They pushed the pile enough that we could run whenever we wanted to,” Lalor said. Marshal Glenn said the O-line takes pride in establishing the running game, whatever the score is. “We just turn into a machine,” Marshal Glenn said.

“Keep grinding through it.” Nelson knows the competition will get tougher and already has Week 3 at Chicago Hope and Week 4 at home against Rockford Christian Life as key games. “If we can get by those healthy with at least one win I think we’ll have a good year,” Nelson said.

MARIAN CENTRAL 32, CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 0

Velazquez, ’Canes run over Crystal Lake South By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Marian Central’s Steve Wember remains friends with several Crystal Lake South players from his days in the Crystal Lake Raiders’ youth football program. That does not mean, however, that Wember was about to cut any of his old buddies a break in the season opener. “Our goal was to never let South score a point against us for the last three years,” the Hurricanes senior linebacker said. “We had to deliver this year and we did pretty well.” The defense allowed the Gators 126 total yards and set the offense up with a prime second-half scoring opportunity as Marian, which is tied for No. 10 in The Associated Press Class 5A poll, defeated South, 32-0, Saturday at George Harding Field. Marian (1-0) led, 13-0 with 9:31 remaining in the second quarter Friday when the game was suspended for lightning and thunder. The Gators (0-1) made their best scoring threat in the third quarter, moving to Marian’s 15, but defensive back Luke Tegtman knocked down Payton Minogue’s pass at the goal line on fourth down of that drive. In South’s last three openers, all against the Hurri-

Late bad bounces hurt Woodstock North in season-opening loss By KEVIN MEYER kmeyer@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Up to the midway point of the fourth quarter, Woodstock North had never trailed, was getting consistently good play on both sides of the ball and had all the confidence that it would avenge last season’s close loss to Wauconda. From there, however, the Thunder were unable to recover after a few bad bounces went Wauconda’s way, derailing the Thunder in their season-opening 28-21 loss. “We had the opportunity to make plays, and we didn’t make them,” Woodstock North coach Jeff Schroeder said. “We ran the ball well at times, and then we kind of got inconsistent at times, I thought our defense played really well. It’s about as well as we’ve played lately, and we found a way to lose.” The game was a back-andforth affair with the Thunder (0-1) pulling ahead on a few different occasions just to see the Bulldogs (1-0) tie the game right back up again. When either offense needed a score, they got it. That is until the Thunder finally found them-

Down 28-21 with less than five minutes to play, Woodstock North quarterback Jimmy Krenger saw his pass deflect off a lineman’s hand and fall right to a Wauconda defender. Wauconda successfully ran the rest of the clock out, never giving the Thunder another opportunity. The Thunder did have success running the ball. Jordan Plummer ran the ball 17 times for 72 yards, and Krenger added 69 yards on 13 carries, including two touchdowns. Wauconda tied the game with seven minutes to play, after it’s drive was saved by a missed interception that somehow led to a 37-yard reception.

Still, Gators coach Chuck Ahsmann saw encouraging signs. “We played a lot harder and more physical today than we did last night,” Ahsmann said. “I did not feel like we came out yesterday like we came out today. They’re a heck of a football team. We need to work on sustaining drives. There were a couple things we just missed. We’re still a work in progress, we’ll get better.”

canes, it managed only two points on a bad punt snap. “That’s a stat we’re very happy about,” linebacker Mike Hartlieb said. “I was pretty happy with the defense, only a few first downs. We put a lot of pressure on them. Our linebackers played well and our D-line controlled the line of scrimmage, that’s good to see.” Hartlieb caught a deflected pass from Hurricanes quarterback Billy Bahl for an 11-yard touchdown Friday, then almost scored on defense Saturday afternoon when he picked off Minogue at the South 42. “I just wanted to score, unfortunately I was a little short,” said Hartlieb, who was tackled at the 1. “But we gave the offense good field position.” South running back Corey Sheehan finished with 96 yards on 20 carries, accounting for most of the Gators’ offense. Marian allowed the Gators five first downs. “I liked our defense, our defense played well,” Hurricanes coach Ed Brucker said. “Offensively, we made a lot of mistakes, which is kind of opposite of what I thought we were going to have. I thought the offense would be fine.” Brucker commended South’s defense, which sacked Bahl four times, with end Steve Anchor getting

STREAMWOOD – Anthony Binetti took one step back and flung a pass to his right, almost immediately toward Josh Esikiel, who turned and trotted in for an easy 7-yard touchdown pass. The toss helped Huntley cushion a 17-point fourth quarter lead against Bartlett. For Binetti, a junior, it was his first start at quarterback for the Red Raiders, replacing the graduated Blake Jacobs, who had thrown for 15 touchdowns a season ago. But he seemed to pass the test in his first outing, throwing for 163 yards and running for 21 more to help lead Huntley to a 17-7 victory in its season opener Saturday at Millennium Field at Streamwood High. The nonconference game was originally scheduled for Friday night but was postponed because of lightning. “Sometimes, you got to survive wins,” Huntley coach John Hart said. “And at times, I thought we could have separated ourselves. And at times, we had to survive.”

Binetti helped keep the ball moving for Huntley, which likes to spread it and out and keep defenses on its heels. “We’re doing a hurry-up offense this year,” he said, “so we want to get the ball and just go.” Binetti got past the early jitters Saturday. Through most of the first quarter on Friday, he completed one pass for minus 4 yards, but came back firing over the remaing three quarters. “I think he did some things exceptionally well,” Hart said. “And then there were a lot of easy plays he’d like to have back. I think there was a lot of good. And the good thing is, there’s a lot more better to come. “When he throws the ball on time and gets his body ready to throw, he’s got a great arm. And he’s a thinker. The 6-foot, 185-pound quarterback looked in command on the final drive, helping Huntley eat some clock with runs of 9 and 15 yards. “I could do better on a lot of things – wide open hitches,

DeCoste, Williams lead Central to victory • TIGERS Continued from page C1 Fralick said. “We didn’t do our job in that first series. After that, we did.” Starting in his first varsity game, senior quarterback Matt DeCoste was effective on the ground (40 yards) and in the air (two touchdowns).

It was a good opening act and will go a long way toward replacing last year’s starter, Kyle Lavand, who threw for 2,311 yards and 21 touchdowns last season, second most in the area in each category. Then again, the way Ryan Williams ran the ball, it might not matter who is throwing it. The senior run-

ning back rushed for three touchdowns, including a 48-yard gallop, and accounted for 161 of the Tigers’ 368 yards of total offense. He hopes it’s only the beginning. “The first win means everything,” Williams said. “It gets the momentum rolling for games to come.”

Nine running backs touched the ball for the Warriors, and 42 first-half points allowed McHenry to rest a few starters beginning in the third quarter. “I don’t think [quarterback] Mike Briscoe got touched once when we passed the ball,” McHenry coach Dave D’Angelo said. “A lot of the credit goes to the guys up front.”

When McHenry did opt to throw, Briscoe usually found his man, connecting on four of five passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns. The third-year starter made connections on two deep balls that resulted in scores – once to Giovanni Purpura (1 catch, 56 yards) late in the first half and once to Corey Lursch (1 catch, 58 yards). When it came to McHenry’s strategy up front, Lambrecht put it in simple terms: “Get low and create holes,” he said. And that’s exactly how simple it was for McHenry’s offensive line Saturday.

STANDOUT STATS Brandon Brooks

ELGIN – Almost 24 hours earlier, the Dundee-Crown Chargers stood on Memorial Field ready to receive the opening kickoff and start their football season under firstyear coach Mike Steinhaus. But seconds before the first whistle, lightning forced the Chargers into cramped quarters underneath the home team’s bleachers, where they remained waiting for well over an hour before receiving the bad news: There would be no game Friday night. On Saturday, the Chargers were back on Memorial Field and Steinhaus got his second chance at his first game. This time, D-C received the opening kickoff and senior Kiwaun Seals made it count, taking it 88 yards for a touchdown in the game’s first 15 seconds of a 36-22 nonconference win against Elgin. Seals said he and Malik Dunner, who also returns kicks, talked about the opening kickoff before Friday’s originally scheduled game, and they each had a feeling something special was about to happen. “Before kickoff on Friday, we just mutually agreed,” Seals said. “I said, ‘Bro, if you get it [the opening kick] I got you.’ And that’s what happened. It was wide open and I just took off.”

Beattie was pleased with the race he turned in to start the season. “My goal was to go out with the guys in front,” Beattie said. “I really worked that second mile and finished as well as I could. I just didn’t have anything left to kick at the end.” Van Vlierbergen cruised to her first county meet title and left shortly after the

race for an official visit to an NCAA Division I school, although she did not disclose which one. “I didn’t think about it too much, I just tried to run my best,” said Van Vlierbergen, the Class 3A 800 meters state champion in track. “It’s really exciting because I’ve never won county before, and we have a great county. There’s a lot of great runners I had to go against.” Woodstock’s Jacobs battled with Allen and Schulz for most of the race and surged ahead near the finish line for second. “It was pretty awesome,” Jacobs said. “I wasn’t expecting it. I was just going to go with the leaders and stick with them as long as I could. I could tell [Allen] was pushing, and so was I. We were trying to stay with each other.”

FOOTBALL: HARVARD 41, ROCK FALLS 0

Midnight madness suits Hornets By MATT BURNS sports@nwherald.com HARVARD – After a 3½hour weather delay, Harvard rolled past Rock Falls, 41-0, Friday night in a football game that ended just after midnight. First-year coach Sean Saylor had both sides of the ball contribute to the Hornets’ (10) victory in their home opener over the Rockets (0-1). His team found the end zone six times and had 432 total yards of offense. The defense sacked Rockets quarteback Jacob Mammosser seven times and had one interception. The Hornets’ ground game

was led by senior running back Christian Kramer. He rushed for 226 yards on 20 attempts with two touchdowns. In the first half, he busted the Rockets’ defense for a long run of 56 yards for a touchdown. And in the second half, he had another long run of 20 yards for his second score. He was almost untouchable, averaging 11.3 yards a carry. Sophomore running back Hunter Freres carried the ball nine times for 95 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown. The Hornets went to the air only six times in the first half. However, the second half

was a different story. Senior quarterback Peyton Schneider found a good rhythm with his receivers, connecting for two long touchdowns and finishing the night with 89 passing yards. He also pounded the ball in with a run on the goal line for the game’s first score. Harvard junior linebacker Austin Nimesz had three sacks. Senior linebacker Lucas Schmidt was all over the field, collecting seven solo tackles. Defensive back Joe Quinn also got into the action, picking off a poor pass in the second half. The Hornets committed 12 penalties.

OSWEGO –Woodstock waited an extra day to play its first game, but it will have to wait even longer to score its first points. The Blue Streaks (0-1) were held scoreless Saturday, falling 18-0 to Oswego East (1-0). Woodstock passed for 78 yards and ran for only 46. Despite needing to make strides on offense, it was a learning experience for all involved, especially quarterback Zach Cullum. The junior made his debut as the starting quarterback in his first varsity game. “The nerves are all out now and I’m ready for the next game,” Cullum said. “It was definitely faster than sophomores. The hits were bigger, way bigger. It was fun though.” Cullum was sacked four times in his debut. The junior also completed 11 of his 22 passes for 78 yards but threw three interceptions. Woodstock coach Steve Beard said Cullum’s first varsity performance was good. “He just needs to keep getting better with his pre-reads,” Beard said. “He needs to anticipate where the best place is to put the ball.” Cullum acknowledged he was holding the ball too long, taking blame for his four sacks. He also said he should have thrown the ball out of bounds instead of trying to force it, which led to the three interceptions. But Cullum improved as the game went along, finding his rhythm with tight end Mason Sutter and wide receiver John Kruse. On a third-and-20 in the third quarter, Cullum made an impressive throw to Sutter to convert the first down at the 34-yard-line. “I thought he did a great job,” Sutter said. “We did get in a rhythm toward the end. Unfortunately, there wasn’t time for another drive to get things done.” Oswego East jumped out to a 7-0 lead when quarterback Tyler Kennedy connected with receiver I’Shawn Stewart on a 20-yard pass for a touchdown. They extended the lead to 15 when Kennedy found receiver Corey Kennedy for a 36-yard TD in the second quarter. “I thought our team competed from the first snap to the last snap,” Beard said. “I thought our competition level was very good tonight.”

jarnold@chicagofootball.com

and KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com The Bears used the majority of their allotted time Saturday to get their roster down to 53 players, waiving 14 players and terminating the contracts of three vested veterans. But the players coach Marc Trestman elected to keep as the Bears prepare for the season opener against the Bills next weekend may have been as big of a story as who was let go. After much discussion over who would be Matt Forte’s primary backup at running back, the Bears elected to keep four backs on the roster. While rookie Ka’Deem Carey and Shaun Draughn were considered the primary candidates to relieve Forte, undrafted rookie free agent Senorise Perry also made the final 53-man roster, providing the Bears with a full contingent of running backs. In also what was viewed as a minor surprise, the Bears will start the season with three quarterbacks. After Jimmy Clausen edged Jordan Palmer as Jay Cutler’s backup, rookie sixth-round draft pick David Fales was expected to be a solid choice for the 10-man practice squad. But after a solid preseason finale performance against the Browns on Thurs-

day night in Cleveland, Fales – who was considered by many as a long-term project after the Bears drafted him – grabbed a spot on the 53-man roster Among the veterans released Saturday were offensive tackle Eben Britton, cornerback Kelvin Hayden and defensive end Austen Lane. Safety M.D. Jennings also was waived with an injury settlement. Hayden was trying to make the Bears’ roster after missing the entire 2013 season. But his chances of moving for- Kelvin Hayden ward dwindled between the combination of a less than stellar preseason and Demontre Hurst getting a lot of work in the nickel package. An impressive showing throughout training camp and the preseason by Sherrick McManis also helped seal Hayden’s fate, along with that of Al Louis-Jean, who was also among those cut Saturday. Fellow cornerback C.J. Wilson, who had two interceptions in the preseason and who had spent time on the Bears’ practice squad in 2013, also was released. Lane, meanwhile, was hoping to stick as part of the Bears’ new-look defensive line but remained on the bubble throughout the preseason. Perhaps a deciding factor also was Cornelius Washington’s contributions on special teams, which made the second-year pro a better option in the long run. If Chris Williams is thinking about a “what if,” he should look to the fact that the Bears used Eric Weems on returns to start the preseason against the Eagles. In that first game, Williams was due to get his shot, but pulled his hamstring on a

72-yard touchdown catch. The injury kept Williams out of the next two preseason games, and he didn’t show a great deal in his opportunities against the Browns in the preseason finale. Williams finished the preseason with four catches for 94 yards. With Williams waived, the Bears are set to open the season with Micheal Spurlock and Santonio Holmes as their primary returners. Holmes, who was signed after training camp, had an impressive 30-yard punt return against the Browns. Even so, the Bears likely will examine other options on waivers Sunday. Britton missed almost a month with a hamstring injury suffered early in camp. He played in 22.2 percent of snaps last season, mainly as a sixth offensive lineman. The Bears could wait until after the regular-season opener against the Bills if they wanted to bring Britton back, as a Chicago Tribune report suggested, and then his salary would not be guaranteed. Seventh-round pick Charles Leno Jr. benefited from the release of Britton, joining Michael Ola and Brian de la Puente as the reserves up front. Taylor Boggs, who was the backup center last year, was waived but may be an option to return to the practice squad. Other options for the 10-man practice squad, which can be formed starting Sunday, include linebacker DeDe Lattimore and guard Ryan Groy. The Bears also waived wide receiver Dale Moss, safety Marcus Trice, and defensive tackles Lee Pegues and Brandon Dunn on Saturday. Receiver Marquess Wilson is on the 53-man roster. If the Bears choose to place him on the injured reserve list with a designation to return, they can’t do so until Tuesday afternoon.

split of Saturday’s doubleheader against the White Sox with a potentially costly 8-4 victory. Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera pulled up lame while running out a grounder in the fourth inning, forcing him from the game. He has been dealing with a sore right ankle. In the opener, Chris Sale struck out a season-high 13, beating Max Scherzer in a matchup of All-Star aces and leading the Sox to a 6-3 win.

By ARNIE STAPLETON The Associated Press For the first time in his career, Champ Bailey was told he isn’t good enough. Jettisoned by the New Orleans Saints after a difficult training camp, the 12-time Pro Bowl cornerback was the most notable name when NFL teams trimmed their rosters to 53 active players Saturday. A close second was Rams rookie Michael Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team. The seventh-round draft pick, watched as closely as any rookie in the league this summer, couldn’t make a team stacked with pass-rushers. He still has a chance to get picked up by another team or to make the Rams’ practice squad. Coach Jeff Fisher repeated over and over that cutting Sam was purely a football decision. “I will tell you this: I was pulling for Mike,” Fisher said. “I really was, and I don’t say that very often.” On Twitter, roughly an hour after he was cut, Sam wrote: “The most worthwhile things in life rarely come easy, this is a lesson I’ve always known. The journey continues.”

BRIEF

Serbian qualifier ousts ’14 Wimbledon champ Kvitova

Fever beat Sky in series opener

By JAMES MARTINEZ The Associated Press NEW YORK – Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova was stunned in the third round of the U.S. Open by a scrambling, moon-balling qualifier ranked No. 145. Aleksandra Krunic, a 21-year-old Serb who until this week had not taken even a set from a player in the top 30, crumpled to the court in celebration and shock Saturday when she pulled off the 6-4, 6-4 upset of the third-seeded Czech. “Of course, I didn’t expect to win,” said Krunic, the second qualifier to pull off such a shocker after 121st-ranked Mirjana Lucic-Baroni beat No. 2-seeded Simona Halep on Friday. Even when Krunic took the lead in the second set and

the Louis Armstrong Stadium crowd was cheering her on, “I just told to myself, ‘It’s still on her, you still have nothing to lose.’ ” “I really focused my 100 percent not to think about anything that is happening – about the court, about so many people, about Petra,” she said. After a week of upsets on the women’s side, only three of the top eight seeds remain, No. 1 Serena Williams, No. 5 Maria Sharapova and No. 7 Eugenie Bouchard. Kvitova, who would have ascended to the No. 1 ranking if she won the U.S. Open and Williams had lost before the quarterfinal, committed 34 unforced errors against the fast-moving Krunic, who slid and sometimes went into a split to chase down every ball and make her opponent hit one more shot.

Saturday at Flushing Meadows

GOLF ROUNDUP

With heavy hearts, Kuchar leads Saturday With an orange ribbon on his hat and nine birdies on his card, Matt Kuchar pulled within a shot of the lead Saturday in the Deutsche Bank Championship in Norton, Massachusetts. Not that he needed a reminder, but a message posted on the scoring table spoke to his emotions. Players were offered a chance to donate to a trust fund for the 4-year-old daughter of Lance Bennett, his caddie. Bennett’s wife, Angela, died of a seizure Wednesday. Kuchar decided to play to raise awareness and get the tour involved in helping the family. His performance certainly

helped. Ryan Palmer overcame a rocky start for an even-par 71. Jason Day struggled at the end for a 68. They were tied for the lead on the TPC Boston going into the third round of a FedEx Cup playoff event that ends on Labor Day. Kuchar was a shot behind after a 66 that featured six consecutive birdies around the turn. On his bag is Brian Reed, a friend who introduced Kuchar to Bennett several years ago. Champion’s Tour: In Calgary, Bob Tway shot a 7-under 63 for a share of the second-round lead with Joe Durant and Joe Daley in the Champions Tour’s Shaw Charity Classic.

Portland Classic: In Portland, defending champion Suzann Pettersen shot her second straight 5-under 67 for a share of the third-round lead in the LPGA Tour’s event. Trying to match Nancy Lopez’s record with her third victory in the event, Pettersen had an eagle, four birdies and a bogey at Columbia Edgewater. The fourth-ranked Norwegian star is winless this season after winning four times last year to push her career total to 14. “I still feel the low one is out there. Got to go out tomorrow and just try to birdie as many holes as you can,” said Pettersen, who birdied Nos. 16 and 17.

ILLINOIS 28, YOUNGSTOWN STATE 17

Lunt sparks Illini late For Sun Times Media CHAMPAIGN – The Wes Lunt era at Illinois didn’t start with a bang so much as a rat-tattat. And perhaps the Illini should count themselves lucky even for that. It just as easily could have begun with a thud. But after following a decidedly unambitious game plan and limping through several mistakes in the first half of the home opener Saturday, the Illini raised the sort of ruckus they had intended to all along, pulling away from Youngstown State in the fourth quarter for a 28-17 victory at Memorial Stadium. The hope was that Lunt, Illinois’ prized transfer (by way of Oklahoma State), instantly would build on having run away with the team’s training-camp competition with a strong debut. Instead, the Illini coaching staff seemed to forget to pull out the choke on the offense. Although Lunt was fairly sharp from the jump, an odd mixture of hurry-up offense, lopsided play-calling (18-8 passrun ration) and paint-by-numbers passing routes wound up handcuffing the sophomore from nearby Rochester. “We’ve got a bunch of new

wide receivers, and we’ve got a new quarterback in there,” Illini coach Tim Beckman said. “You’re right. We ran a lot of smash corners and a lot of hitch routes into the sidelines. I think it was just [creating] comfort for him [before] taking some strikes.” The result: By halftime, Lunt had completed 11 of 18 passes, but the Illini had only seven points and 129 total yards. Meanwhile, the Penguins had two field goals in the first half, although they also dispensed generous helpings of a varied run game (32 run plays in the half). After the break, Tim Banks’ leg-wearied defense went from bending to breaking a bit too often, missing tackles and contributing its share of horribly timed penalties. “The first three quarters weren’t anything like what we wanted to be as a football team, from coaching down to playing,” Beckman said. But just when Banks’ long-maligned defense began to lose its footing, Lunt – behind more galvanized pass protection and the faintest threat of a run game – began to loosen up, stretch the field and laser-guide his passes to increasingly wideopen receivers. Beckman and Lunt attributed the turnaround

to improved pre-snap reads and simply shaking off jitters, rather than any significant adjustments in offensive coordinator Bill Cubit’s approach. “I agree with Coach Cubit’s play-calling, and it’s whatever he wants to do,” Lunt said. “We had what we wanted [early in the game], we just didn’t execute very well. Also, I’ll adjust to the line. If they bring the blitz, I’ll try to protect myself. Or if the defense is in a certain coverage that we like a route in, just check the route.” Lunt indeed saw more blitzing from YSU late, and he reacted in spectacular fashion. With ample time from his blockers and a steady rhythm established, he fired touchdown passes to three receivers in the fourth quarter, including a 15-yarder to running back Josh Ferguson for the go-ahead score. “It’s a ‘W,’ ” Beckman said. “It wasn’t a pretty ‘W.’ It’s something we can definitely learn from, but it’s a ‘W.’ ” Lunt finished 24 for 38 with 284 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions – and some much needed momentum going into a suddenly intriguing matchup next Saturday with a Western Kentucky team that had 59 points and 702 yards Friday.

CALIFORNIA 31, NORTHWESTERN 24

By SETH GRUEN Northwestern looked a lot like it did last year in a 31-24 season-opening loss to California on Saturday. The only difference was how it happened, which was even more alarming than the lategame mishaps of 2013. The Wildcats started incredibly slow, mainly because of Cal’s game plan. The Golden Bears used a two-quarterback system that took Northwestern by surprise. True freshman Luke Rubenzer shared snaps with incumbent starter Jared Goff. Rubenzer carried 11 times for 48 yards. “The two-quarterback thing was something we had no idea because obviously that’s the first time they’ve ever done that,” Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “So credit Cal. Great plan for them. They did a great job with the element of surprise.” Should Northwestern have been surprised? Goff played well in his debut last season against the Wildcats

in Berkeley, throwing 64 times. But it was unlikely the Bears would be as pass heavy in their second meeting with Northwestern. They had to run. Goff is more of a pocket passer. Rubenzer is the dual threat. Fitzgerald said he knew once Rubenzer entered the game that the Bears would become run-oriented. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, it didn’t appear as if they knew right away. Northwestern wasn’t able to adjust until midway through the third quarter, when they mounted a comeback that saw them score 17 consecutive points. But comebacks are almost always preceded by poor play, and the Wildcats’ poor play was largely a result of the shock of seeing Rubenzer. Safety Traveon Henry said the team was alerted to the possibility of Cal’s change in play-calling with their new quarterback. He said they made adjustments immediately after Rubenzer’s first drive. But it was clear that the possibility had been drilled only

minimally, if at all, in practice. “I was surprised,” middle linebacker Collin Ellis said. “They ran the ball well. They executed well, and once we made some adjustments, we were able to put out the fire that they started. But, yes, schematically, they kind of got us off a little bit.” The offense needed to shoulder its share of the blame. A passing game laden with seniors looked surprisingly out of sync. But allowing a team that went 0-11 against FBS opponents last season to score 24 first-half points was even more shocking. In four of its games last year, Cal didn’t even score 20. Henry said the team used high school film to prepare for Rubenzer. Information on any true freshman is widely available through numerous recruiting sites. “It should hurt,” Fitzgerald said. “Obviously, we expect to win every game, and when we don’t start the way we do, like I told the guys in the locker room, it starts with us as coaches.”

Golson leads Irish in victory By LAMOND POPE SOUTH BEND, IND. – Everett Golson couldn’t pinpoint a singular “I’m back” moment. But from the warm ovation he received from the 80,795 fans at Notre Dame Stadium just before his first snap to the last of his five touchdowns, Golson was happy. Happy to have the opportunity again to make an impact for the Irish. And it was quite impact Saturday. Golson rushed for three touchdowns and threw for two more as Notre Dame opened the season by smoking Rice, 48-17. “I felt pretty comfortable from the get,” Golson said. “I don’t know if it necessarily showed the first couple of drives, but that’s one of those things where you just have to stay at it and keep being persistent in it. “I think we did a great job of doing that and it came out pretty good for us.” That’s one way of putting it. The Irish finished with 576

DUBLIN, Ireland – Penn State won a thrilling season opener with a 36-yard field goal as time expired to defeat the University of Central Florida 26-24 in front of a raucous 55,000-strong crowd in Ireland. Behind second-half replacement quarterback Justin Holman, the Knights appeared to have scored their own unlikely come-from-behind victory when Holman’s 6-yard touchdown run with 1:13 left put UCF up 24-23.

Indiana 28, Indiana State 10: In Bloomington, Indiana rode Tevin Coleman, who rushed for a career-high 247 yards, and D’Angelo Roberts to a 28-10 home win over Indiana State on Saturday. In Iowa City, the IU backfield duo combined for 376 yards and three touchdowns on 47 carries. Iowa won’t have to face Northern Iowa again for four years. The Hawkeyes won’t be sorry to see the Panthers go. Jake Rudock threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns and Iowa hung to beat Northern Iowa 31-23 on Saturday.

Michigan 52, Appalachian State 14: In Ann Arbor, Michigan quickly took the intrigue out of its rematch with Appalachian State. Devin Gardner threw three touchdown passes to Devin Funchess in the first half and the Wolverines went on to rout the Mountaineers 52-14 Saturday, seven years after being on the losing end of perhaps the biggest upset in college football history.

yards of total offense. Golson missed all of 2013 because of a suspension for showing, as he put it, “poor academic judgment.” He hadn’t played since the loss to Alabama in the BCS title game at the end of the 2012 season. He didn’t show any rust in his return. Golson passed for 295 yards and rushed for 41 more. “Golson was electric,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “He kept his eyes downfield. Knew when to run, knew when to throw it, and those are things we really talked about. We didn’t want to over-coach him in that we were going to allow him (Saturday) to get outside the pocket and be a football player, and just naturally go play the game. And I thought he did that (Saturday) extraordinarily well. “He came back (Saturday) and I think really showed the kind of player that he can be.” The touchdown passes went for 75 and 53 yards. “An emphasis for us was to go vertical,” Golson said. His rushing touchdowns

went for 11, 14 and 4 yards. “I think Golson is an amazing, amazing quarterback,” Rice coach David Bailiff said. “The choices he makes, the way he can extend plays.” It was a positive sign for a program that has spent the last couple of weeks dealing with the ramifications of an academic scandal. Five players, including three starters, are being held out of practices and games while the school looks into suspected academic dishonesty. Their fate is up in the air. But Golson provided stability at quarterback, even when play appeared anything but stable. That was the case for his final touchdown. He intended to hand the ball off to Greg Bryant. Only the back wasn’t there. Golson then decided to run and he scored on what Kelly joked was a “trick” play. “I was a little fortunate,” Golson said. Golson had a huge smile as he returned to the sideline. It was that type of day for Golson. And given the current circumstances, one the Irish needed.

Jarvion Franklin, a 17-year old freshman, gave the Broncos a 14-10 lead in the second-quarter, but the Boilermakers, 1-11 in 2013, scored the final 13 points in the first half and never trailed again in the season opener.

No. 5 Ohio State 34, Navy 17: In Baltimore, Redshirt Ohio State freshman J.T. Barrett threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns in his college debut as Ohio State earned its 25th consecutive regular-season victory Saturday to beat Navy, 34-17. Elevated into a starting role after senior Braxton Miller injured his right shoulder two weeks ago, Barrett went 12 for 15 – including an 80yard TD pass to Devin Smith that put the Buckeyes up 2014 with 4:10 left in the third quarter.

Maryland 52, James Madison 7: In College Park, C.J. Brown couldn’t get his arm going Saturday, so he used his legs. He ran for three touchdowns before halftime and shook off early inaccuracy to throw for a score in the third quarter as Maryland cruised past James Madison 52-7 in both teams’ season opener.

Nebraska 55, Florida Atlantic 7: In Lincoln, Ameer Abdul-

lah and Tommy Armstrong Jr. had career games, and Nebraska had its most productive offensive day in almost a quarter century. A Maybe there is something to this “Red Storm” nickname that the Cornhuskers’ offensive players came up with. Florida Atlantic was in the path Saturday, and the Huskers rolled to a 55-7 victory. Abdullah, the nation’s top returning rusher, ran for a career-high 232 yards and a touchdown before leaving in 12-game losing streak against the middle of the third quarFBS competition Saturday ter. Armstrong Jr. passed for with a 43-34 victory over a career-high 271 yards and two TDs before sitting down Western Michigan. Two touchdown runs by late in the third.

BUSINESS LAW Brad Stewart

Smaller boards may be better “More is not always better” may be more than a cliché when it comes to the overall effectiveness of corporate boards. A recent analysis done by GMI Ratings, prepared for the Wall Street Journal, indicates smaller corporate boards (8-10 member boards) empirically outperformed larger boards (12-14 member boards) across 10 major sectors in terms of shareholder return. While the analysis focused on companies with at least $10 billion in market capitalization, some principals and takeaways can be applied to smaller, local businesses, and not just to board operations, but also corporate governance. An initial consideration is the logistics of communication and decision-making. Even assuming every board member is well-qualified to address corporate actions, which becomes less likely the larger the board, the ease with which seven people can discuss a course of action through emails, phone calls, meetings and various amounts of documents is substantially less than it would take 14 people to discuss the same issue. More people involved in decisionmaking tends to increase the likelihood that one or more directors miss points of earlier discussion and then become involved in later stages of decision making, which then breeds repetitive and irrelevant points and arguments being raised despite efforts to address and resolve the same previously raised concerns. The typical approach to minimize the logistical holdups intrinsic to larger boards is to rely on numerous committees so that various directors can focus on one or two segments of the business. The committees then make recommendations to the board to take action. Yet committee-laden boards tend to make other directors deferential to committee recommendations because the committee is perceived as the expert who did the homework. The noncommittee directors are then more likely to become detached from that area of the company, making their role in the decision-making process more of a rubber stamp. Furthermore, the committees may tend to become more lax due to the fact that other board members are not actively challenging their recommendations, and the timeliness of reviewing and recommending ideas may also suffer. A final concern with rigid, longstanding committees is factionalism can become ingrained in the board which tends to make clusters of directors vote in groups as opposed to making individually informed decisions. Research also suggests smaller boards are more likely to take important actions, such as terminating a poor-performing executive, than a larger board is. Another less obvious consideration with board size is the impact on social interaction. Directors are less likely to offer opinions and become engaged in decision-making if there is not a comfort level speaking to the group at large. A person is more likely to be intimidated by speaking freely or asking a clarification question in a larger group than in a tighter group. This potential reticence to speak is then exacerbated by the fact the individual’s ability to develop comfortable social relationships with every other board member takes more time and may be harder to develop the larger the group. None of this is to say there are not valid reasons for having a larger number of directors, such as promoting community exposure and involvement with a larger board. A charity, for example, may want a larger board in part to help spread the word and encourage fundraising efforts, but this effect may be accomplished better by establishing a foundation board and maintaining a smaller governance board. A larger board also can take proactive measures to address these concerns by rotating committee members at regular shortterm intervals, by spending more team-building time together, and

Millennials test waters of home ownership

Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

Melissa and Nate Smith of Arlington Heights talk about their home buying experience at the house they are buying in the Brittany Woods neighborhood of Cary. As part of Gen Y, also known as the millennial generation, the Smiths are part of what’s currently the largest single share of homebuyers, at 31 percent, according to a National Association of Realtors report issued earlier this year.

Generation Y not giving up on real estate By CYNTHIA WOLF editorial@nwherald.com If Generation Y is to blame for holding back a housing recovery, as has been suggested in national reports, local real estate salespeople aren’t seeing it. In fact, despite McHenry County home sales falling 13.3 percent in July, demand locally continues to outpace availability, area real estate experts say. And those in the 18- to 34-year-old age group are playing a key part in that. If anything, they’re often being edged out by investors who’ve jumped back into the market and tend to outbid them. Certainly, McHenry County is not immune to the sorts of scenarios that have sparked many millennials nationwide to delay their entry into the housing market. High debt-toincome ratios, a lack of established credit or poor credit and the plain old financial appeal of continuing to bunk with mom and dad as a young adult all are factors. Pundits also say millennials are reluctant to buy because of the notion that home ownership no longer is a sound investment. “I don’t see that,” said Gail Plunkett, broker and manager at Coldwell Banker in Crystal Lake. “I think our biggest problem is that the first-time homebuyers are competing with flippers, investors, people who can pay cash.” Plunkett and others said homes in the typical first-time buyers price range of about $200,000 or less are receiving multiple offers almost the instant they hit the market. Occasionally investors will offer more than the asking price, she added. Millennials who are committed to their quest will realize success. But it often takes patience, effort and some faith in agents’ educated advice, said Rob Schaid, managing broker and owner at Re/Max Plaza in McHenry. “It has a lot to do with whether or not they’re willing to work,” he said, noting he has not found young buyers to be particularly risk-averse, though he’s aware of many who’ve found it convenient to remain home with parents. “Many younger people do want to buy, and they are buying,” he said. “When you get under $150,000, though, it’s a very competitive marketplace and there aren’t enough homes.” Low offers are not succeeding, Schaid added, and many first-time buyers tend to test those waters. “They don’t listen to us as to what they should offer for a house until they lose one or two,” he said. Another factor that holds some younger people back from entering the home-buying marketplace is a lack of awareness of just how little it can take to become an owner versus a renter. Home State Bank Division President Greg Grojean and Mortgage Sales Manager Brad Harding said many programs exist that put home ownership well within reach of those who can’t afford the conventional 20 percent down.

Melissa and Nate Smith of Arlington Heights walk down the stairs of the house they are buying in the Brittany Woods neighborhood of Cary. They hope to close on the house in September.

Despite obstacles, some millennials are buying into housing market By CYNTHIA WOLF • editorial@nwherald.com

hen Nate and Melissa Smith spied the granite kitchen countertops, open floor plan and significantly below-market price, they knew they wanted to make the Brittany Woods home in Cary their own. It was July. They’d started looking in February, a few months before their May wedding. And everything else they’d seen in their price range of up to $250,000 had been snapped up quickly. This was a foreclosure, in remarkably good condition, and at a price well below the young couple’s limit, they said. “You guys have to see the kitchen,” Melissa Smith said during a quick, broker-assisted tour of the 2,618-square-foot, four-bedroom, 2.5-bath home. “They couldn’t believe how lucky they got,” said Jay Menzel, the Coldwell Banker broker who worked with the 23-year-olds on their first home-buying experience. As part of Gen Y, also known as the millennial generation, the Smiths are part of what’s currently the largest single share of homebuyers, at 31 percent, according to a National Association of Realtors report issued earlier this year. And yet, many national reports have pegged a lagging housing recovery on 18- to 34-year-olds holding back on making the leap into home ownership at greater numbers than previous generations. “We were teeter-tottering,” Nate Smith said about the de-

“They couldn’t believe how lucky they got.” Jay Menzel Coldwell Banker broker cision to buy versus rent. “We kind of had a plan that if we saw something like this …” Unlike many millennials for whom home ownership has been put off thanks to high student loan debt or other financial factors, the Smiths, both graduates of Indiana University Bloomington, did not carry that burden into the equation. “He didn’t have any student loans, and I paid mine off,” Melissa Smith said. “We both got jobs right out of school.” Melissa Smith said she still was somewhat hesitant until she and her husband sat down and talked about the financial nitty-gritty, taking into account such things as the tax advantages of a mortgage versus a lease. The Smiths expect to close on their home by mid-September. Although closing dates can be tenuous with foreclosures,

they’re excited about their imminent new beginning. Nate Smith looks forward to tackling the expansive lawn, and Melissa Smith loves that the house is located within walking distance of area schools. The couple currently lives in a small Arlington Heights apartment. Nate Smith works for Sears in Hoffman Estates and Melissa Smith is a technology consultant for a downtown Chicago firm. They considered looking further east, but both sets of parents are in Cary, the town is along the commuter rail line and their home-buying dollar stretched further here, they said. “I can add 20 minutes to my commute each way and we can have a lot more house,” Melissa Smith said. “This is definitely a place where we have lots of room to grow.”

Use savings to pay off student loans, buy cheaper car Dear Dave, I’m driving a 10-year-old car with 195,000 miles on it. The car needs $1,500 in repairs, and it’s worth $5,000. I have $40,000 in cash saved, $40,000 in investments and I make $80,000 a year. I also have $15,000 in student loan debt, but the only other thing I owe on is my house. Should I pay to repair the car or buy something else for $15,000?

– Dave

Dear Dave, Nice name. If you wrote a $15,000 check for a newer car and wrote a $15,000 check for the student loans, it would leave you with $10,000. I wouldn’t buy a $15,000 car in your situation. I’d buy a $10,000 car.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey You could sell your current car for around $3,500 if it needs repairs, combine that with your money and get a $13,500 car. Then, you could write a check and pay off the student loan. With no car payment, no student loan payment and a good car, you can really lean into your budget. Think about it. You’d have no debt except for your home, and you could rebuild your savings in a hurry and be in really great shape in about six months. Plus, you’d have $15,000 sit-

ting there in the meantime.

– Dave

Dear Dave, I have several rental properties, and lately I’ve been spending a ton of money remodeling them because I allow pets. Do you think I should begin refusing tenants with pets?

– Jim

Dear Jim, This is a tough one for me, because I have three dogs of my own. I’ve got a pug that’s older than dirt, a shih tzu with an attitude and the best golden retriever on the planet. I love animals, and like you, I’ve got a lot of rental properties. But I don’t allow animals in my properties. Some people have accused me of

hating all animals except my own. I can tell you that’s not true. But the fact is a lot of people don’t take good care of their animals and keep an eye on them. It’s hard enough to find trustworthy, responsible renters these days, and if you add a dog or cat on top of that you’re just asking for trouble. I’ve had situations in the past where I had to spend $10,000 to clean up a house after a tenant had a dog or cat in there. They’ll chew things up, stain and stink things up, and tear things up. Sometimes you even have to replace the floorboards. I had a lady offer me a $10,000 deposit the other day on one of my properties, just so she could move in with her dog. I said no. It’s in all my leases now – no animals. I don’t

allow them in at the beginning, and if one of my tenants gets one after they move in they either have to find a new home for the animal or move out themselves. At that point, they’re in violation of the lease. The problem is I really do have a heart for animals. I love them. But as a landlord who’s running a business, it just doesn’t make sense.

tance to qualified buyers of up to $7,500, or $10,000 for qualifying veterans returning from duty. Private programs also exist. In fact, Home State Bank offers its own down payment assistance program for firsttime homebuyers of up to $8,000. Grojean said the bank provided $85,000 in down payment assistance through its “A Helping Hand” program last year, and has provided more than $100,000 this year, with another $40,000 pending. Schaid and others noted that waiting might prove to be unwise for those who can afford to get in the game now. According to a National Association of Realtors’ report, Gen Y comprises the largest share of homebuyers at 31 percent. And interest rates remain historically low at 4.25 percent to 4.5 percent. “The baby boomer generation is smaller than Gen Y,” Schaid said, referring to total population. “When that generation wants to downsize, they’re going to be after the same housing as first-time homebuyers … get out there and start looking now before your friends do.”

Many, too, are discouraged not only by recent years of sliding values, but by what they’ve heard and read of the increased difficulties of qualifying for a mortgage, Harding said. “Many believe they have to have 20 percent down and a credit score of 740 or better, and that’s just not accurate,” he said. Grojean said student loan and other debt definitely affects the amount of a loan for which a person can qualify, as well as their ability to save for a down payment. However, home values are trending upward, while borrowing rates remain low, and programs like FHA can put buyers in homes for as little as 3.5 percent down. “Combine that with the fact that mortgage interest is tax deductible, and there’s nothing deductible about rent,” Harding added. Down payment assistance programs also exist, the bankers said. The Illinois Housing Development Authority is providing forgivable assis-

TIME CAPSULE

Photo provided by the McHenry County Historical Society archives

The manure spreader was critical in helping McHenry County farmers keep their field fertile and productive. In the photo, which dates to about 1922, Marengo implement dealer John Arlington has received a shipment of new, horse-drawn machines. Today’s farm implement dealers still proudly show off their machinery in much the same way. Curiously, in May 1921 Arlington died in an automobile accident as a passenger in a car driven by Oscar Sandman. The building (pictured at the far left) was the Marengo City Hall and firehouse built in 1909. Marengo’s modern fire station kept the western portion of that building and expanded over the blacksmith and implement dealer shop sites.

Smaller boards often mean each member must do more Continued from page D2 by requiring committee reports to be submitted well in advance of meetings to ensure sufficient time is provided for board members to review a committee’s recommendation and/or analysis. The obvious downside to a smaller board is that each member would be responsible for more work which, depending on if they have careers or other commitments outside of their board role, can pose challenges. However, the lesson from the GMI analysis

is smaller boards tend to be more efficient and produce better results. To the extent that a corporation has vacancies open on its board or is concerned with being bogged down by too large of a board, it is worth considering whether a slimmer board may improve corporate efficiency and effectiveness.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Delegating your workload will help you go a long way toward achieving the success you desire. Your list of accomplishments will grow if you refuse to give in or be left behind. Your determination is strong, and adding discipline to the mix will bring you substantial gains. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Show important people in your life what they mean to you. It is too easy to take people and things for granted. Your offers of help and gratitude will go a long way. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If your present situation is making you feel unfulﬁlled

or unhappy, think about what changes will bring you greater happiness. Consider altering your professional or personal style. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Personal clashes will result if you are too emotional, possessive or aggressive. Be clear about what you want, and don’t be misled by anyone with an alternate agenda. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your course of action may be stymied. Don’t be fooled by what others want you to see. Refer to your backup plan and wait for the most opportune moment to unfold. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --

Companionship will blossom with a person you have known for a while. If you let your beliefs be known, you can make an important difference to a cause you care about. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Choose to be a spectator. You’ll meet with stubborn opposition if you try to push your likes and dislikes. Bide your time and make your case ﬂawless before sharing it with others. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Show your unselﬁsh side by helping others, but don’t pay for mistakes you didn’t make. Let your giving nature and congeniality manifest through suggestions, not cash donations.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Taking on added duties will be beneﬁcial. Consider assisting people with personal medical, ﬁnancial or legal affairs. Your help will be rewarded in a most helpful and unusual way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your determination and single-mindedness will help to achieve success. Whether in your personal or business life, you will conquer any opposition that comes your way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t allow bad habits to jeopardize your health. Keep on track with good eating, sleeping and exercise regimens. The better you feel, the easier

it will be to stay focused and successful. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will discover a lot about your family history and get a better understanding of who you are by interacting with younger and older relatives. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’ll be tempted to participate in an unusual or risky venture. Take care that you do not compromise your reputation, health or ﬁnancial well-being. Protect your assets.

Questions? Email trkerth@yahoo.com

Recalling a long-ago night of love I magine what would you would do if you got a call from a woman you took to dinner 26 years ago, and she said to you on the phone, “I have a reminder of that night sitting next to me right now, and that little reminder is 6 inches taller than I am.” That’s the call I got today, and I did what you would expect a man would do after getting a phone call like that. I went straight to my wife and told her about the woman’s call. And my wife of 45 years did just what you might expect a woman would do after getting news like that from her husband. She smiled from ear to ear and gave me a big hug. That’s because the call was from a lady named Helen Dimperio, who is now 91 years old. She was calling to remind me of the time I took her to dinner for her 65th birthday and gave her a little potted plant to remember the night by. And now, 26 years later, that little potted plant is 6 inches taller than she is. Helen calls me a few times a year to report on how she – and the plant – are doing. It has been re-potted several times (well, haven’t we all?), and it seems to be thriving under Helen’s tender care. It spends summers on the front porch, and each winter she brings it inside to sit in the living room with her. To be fair, I can’t take full credit for the dinner date or the plant. It was a joint idea I helped hatch along with my buddies Bill and Mike – each of us English teachers who had taught all of Helen’s children at Maine South High School in Park Ridge. Later, Helen joined us on the staff and became our esteemed colleague, loved by every student or teacher lucky enough to meet her. Having Helen in the room was like having your own personal Google, long before the Internet thought to have one of its own. A voracious reader, she knows more

about the history of the English royal families than the Royals themselves. For her 65th birthday on April 27, 1988, we took her to Bencher’s Club Room, a fancy restaurant in what was then the tallest building in the world – the Sears Tower in downtown Chicago. We lingered over our meals in pleasant conversation, and then we took the elevator to the sky deck, where we watched the ribbons of lights stream through the city streets. To the south and west stood the Near West Side medical district of the 25th Ward, where Helen’s father had served as alderman for more than 30 years. To the east, running lights of boats sparkled in the black waters of Lake Michigan. And we stood atop it all, four good friends at the apex of the tallest structure man had ever erected on the planet. English teachers all, we challenged each other to see who could remember the most lines from Carl Sandburg’s poem, “Skyscraper,” which personifies the building as a living thing because of all the men and women, boys and girls who pour in and out of it by day and night. “It is the men and women, boys and girls so poured in and out all day,” Sandburg wrote, “that give the building a soul of dreams and thoughts and memories,” as each person’s soul adds to the collective soul of the skyscraper. “Hour by hour the sun and the rain, the air and the rust, and the press of time running into centuries, play on the building inside and out and use it…. By night the skyscraper looms in the smoke and the stars and has a soul.” At the end of the evening, we drove Helen home for a warm hug at her front door and gave her a little potted plant to remember the night by. And then Bill, Mike and I each drove home to our wives and children. But the night wasn’t over for Helen. Because by the time I had driven

home, my wife met me at the door and said, “Your mother is on the phone.” I picked up the line and I heard Mom say, “Do you know a lady named Helen Dimperio?” “Yes,” I told her, “I just had dinner with her. Why?!??” My heart hammered in my chest. Might something have happened to Helen after I left? “Well,” Mom said, “she just called to tell me what a nice son I have.” I breathed a sigh of relief and said, “But you already knew that, right?” I went to work the next day to boast to Bill and Mike about Helen’s call, but they were way ahead of me. Their mothers had gotten the same call. Over the years, Helen has called the three of us “My boys,” and we are proud to wear that badge. We all think of her as our “mom away from mom.” It is easy enough for me to do that because Helen and my mom were born only weeks apart in 1923. Over the years, much has been changed by the press of time. The Sears Tower is no longer the tallest building on the planet, and it is no longer even called the Sears Tower. I have no idea if Bencher’s Club Room is still in existence. Over the years, people, too, have yielded to the press of time. Since that long-ago April night, both Bill and I have lost our parents. Mike has lost his father, and his mother is now in a nursing home. And yet, it is good to know that much also abides, undiminished by time. That durable plant, for example, that now towers over our equally durable Helen Dimperio. And, of course, the never-ending love that Bill, Mike and I will always feel for our mom away from mom.

4 servings 3 tablespoons skin-on sliced almonds (optional) 13 ounces cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast 1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise 2 tablespoons korma curry paste, such as Patak’s brand (see headnote) 2 tablespoons mango or apricot-ginger chutney Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon honey (optional) 8 thick slices rustic country

If using the sliced almonds, toast them in a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat for a few minutes, shaking the pan as needed to avoid scorching. Remove from the heat. Shred the chicken. Place in a bowl along with the yogurt, mayonnaise, korma paste and chutney; toss to incorporate and coat evenly. Stir in the toasted sliced almonds, if using. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then taste; if the mixture has a sharp edge you’d like to lessen, stir in the honey. Place 4 slices of the bread on the work surface; cover each with lettuce. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the 4 lettuce-topped slices. Spread the butter evenly on one side of each of the remaining 4 slices of bread; place them buttered side down to create 4 sandwiches. Press slightly, then cut each one in half. Serve right away.

Coronation Chicken Sandwiches

white bread Iceberg or baby romaine lettuce leaves 1 3/4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

Have you gone all summer without enjoying an evening concert outdoors? These creamy, savory sandwiches come together quickly enough for you to catch an opening number. Coronation chicken is a British dish created in 1953 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s accession. To turn it into an easy sandwich filling, yogurt lightens the usual amount of mayonnaise, and curry paste provides the seasoning. We like tossing in an optional few tablespoons of toasted almond slices. Serve with fruit salad.

What kind of compressor does your AC Unit have? Over the years, compressor technology has changed primarily to comply with government mandated efficiency ratings. The four types of compressors are: • Reciprocating - This was the norm in the industry for years. It uses a piston and cylinder arrangement similar to a car engine. Due to efficiency regulations it is used primarily in commercial applications. • Rotary - Smaller in size and more efficient than a reciprocating compressor, usually used in portable/window units. It relies on two rotating screws or gears to pressurize air. • Scroll - This is the most widely used compressor in residential equipment today. It offers high efficiency and quiet operation. • Inverter - This is the latest design which offers the highest efficiency and quietest operation. Most compressors run at 100% capacity. This unit is designed to run at different speeds to modulate the cooling output. This results in the most comfortable cooling and dehumidification possible. If you have any questions about your home’s heating and cooling systems, please contact me today.

NORTHWEST HERALD Ben and Kristen Choitz have been traveling to Zambia since 2008 to minister to residents of the poverty-stricken area of Chongwe. They launched their nonprofit, Extending Hands, in 2010, and next year, they and two of their children will move to the country to continue their mission. “My burden is for abused women and girls caught in prostitution/sex trafficking, and my husband will be working with the men,” Kristen Choitz wrote in an email. “The area where we will be working in is actually called Chibolya, which means graveyard. The name is fitting, unfortunately. “We know this is not going to be easy, but we are ready to follow God and go where no one else is going and do what no one else is

Dundee bridal salon reality show to air “Best in Bridal,” a new bridal reality series featuring Complete Bridal of East Dundee, will air a sneak peek at 9 p.m. Sept. 2 on FYI Network. The series stars shop owner David Gaffke and his allmale staff as they help women select a bridal gown for their big day. “I’ve been competing with all-female bridal salons for nearly 31 years, and who better to decide what looks best on a woman than a guy?” Gaffke said during filming last spring. The all-female staff of Shelley’s in West Dundee also will be featured to show the differences in management style and customer base, according

Online For information, read our March story about filming at Complete Bridal at http://shawurl.com/1drk. to a press release. The sneak peek will be a one-hour preview of the show, which will air its full season of at least 12 half-hour episodes in October. Complete Bridal, 12 E. Main St., East Dundee, opened about nine years ago in East Dundee and moved to its current location about four years ago. Gaffke had an idea for a reality show a few years ago and reached out to the network. It was over a year before he heard back asking whether he still was interested. Crews

filmed a pilot episode in June 2013, and shortly afterward, Gaffke learned his show had been picked up. Filming began during the Bridal Fashion Show and Expo in March hosted by Complete Bridal at Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites in Elgin and continued throughout the spring. Gaffke said he and his staff were left in the dark about what will be aired. “A lot goes into the taping and production of a reality show.” Gaffke said. “My staff and I are excited to see how it all comes together.” Gaffke and staff plan to watch the premier at a private preview party at Blues BBQ and Grill in East Dundee.

McHenry County authors join national self-publishing trend

“ ”

By SARAH STRZALKA

If you self-publish, there’s always a possibility that someone will pick it up and read it and want to have a publisher do it – that’s what you hope for.

editorial@nwherald.com

Book: “Project (Baby) Management” Author: Dawn Karlovsky of Algonquin Publisher: Selfpublished through CreateSpace Synopsis: Time saving tips, checklists, spreadsheets and creative technology ideas to efficiently organize, prepare and raise babies through toddlers. Information: www. projectbabymanagement.com

Book: “Fate Rode The Wind” Author: Larry D. Quick of Crystal Lake Publisher: Self-published through iUniverse Synopsis: Set in a time when the world’s norms are being turned upside down, this is a story of one family’s undying patriotism, unending trials, and unconditional love. Information: http:// bookstore.iuniverse. com

s the mother of two sets of twins two years apart, Dawn Karlovsky of Algonquin quickly learned a thing or two about parenting, particularly when it came to organization. Spreadsheets on which baby was fed and when to better communicate with her husband. Medical records since birth, such as vaccinations, all in one spot. Other parents, teachers and strangers took notice and would compliment Karlovsky on her kids’ behavior when they went to a restaurant. “You should write a book,” they said. So she did, writing her tips and tricks down as she went and giving it the title “Project (Baby) Management.” But considering she had four kids and not much spare time, finding a publisher or an agent wasn’t a priority. She turned to CreateSpace, an Amazon selfpublishing company. Her book, which came out in 2012, is printto-order; a buyer orders a copy, and then it is printed. “I just kind of wanted to put the stuff out there that I had learned,” Karlovsky said. Self-publishing has been on the rise, according to Bowker, which provides bibliographic information to publishers, booksellers and libraries. The number of self-published titles in 2012 jumped to more than 391,000, up 59 percent over 2011 and 422 percent over 2007. And more than 80 percent of self-published titles came from the use of eight companies, including the one Karlovsky used, CreateSpace. Karlovsky, who works full time for Judson University, said she doesn’t rely on the book for profit, although it pays a bill here or there. She plans to write a follow-up book, “Project (Toddler) Management,” and said she likely will use CreateSpace again. John Domagalski of Lake in the Hills, who writes about World

Dawn Karlovsky sits down for dinner Thursday with her family including her husband, Tim, and children, Lincoln, 7, Jackson, 5, Jelena, 5, and Finnegan, 7, at their home in Algonquin. Karlovsky is the author of “Project Baby Management,” which she self-published in 2012 through an Amazon product template, CreateSpace. War II, took a more traditional route to get his books published. “With the first book, when I was starting out and had never published a book before in my life, I ended up going out and buying one of those Idiot’s Guides,” he said. From there, he researched publishers who handled WWII books and then submitted a proposal to just about any he could find. He

landed interest from McFarland Press, a small company out of North Carolina, and “Lost at Guadalcanal” was published in 2010. Domagalski followed the same procedure for his next book, “Sunk at Kula Gulf,” which found a slightly larger publisher, Potomac Books Inc. For his most recent book, which came out earlier this year, Domagalski was able to find an

agent. He was recently on a business trip in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and stopped in a Barnes and Noble, where he saw his book, “Into the Dark Water: The Story of Three Officers and PT-109,” on the shelf. It tells the story of three naval officers of the warship made famous by John F. Kennedy. “I had to make the decision that every potential author has

to make: Do you want to selfpublish, or try to get in with a publisher,” Domagalski said. “There are definitely pros and cons to both of them.” Self-publishers control the content pretty much 100 percent, while publishers come with editors who may want to make changes the author isn’t inclined to make, he said. “The downside [to self-publish-

ing is] that you’re pretty much on your own in terms of trying to create marketing and awareness of your book and even getting reviews done,” Domagalski said. Publishers also get a cut of the profits because they’re handling the up-front costs, he said. “You’re basically going to get a royalty as part of your contract you sign up front,” Domagalski said. “You’re going to get a

percentage of every book that has sold.” At 76 years old, Larry D. Quick didn’t want to get the runaround from publishers, so he chose to self-publish his novel “Fate Rode the Wind.” Quick, who taught at Crystal Lake Central High School for 36 years, wrote the story of an Illinois farm family that buys a rundown farmstead in the time after the Great Depression and the end of WWII. He used iUniverse to publish and the book, which is available on Amazon and through the Barnes and Noble website, came out in April. Quick said he has had a few signings, including at the book’s setting in Atwood and has sold books here and there. He has other ideas for future publications, including short stories, poems and children’s books that he would like to illustrate. “If you self-publish, there’s always a possibility that someone will pick it up and read it and want to have a publisher do it – that’s what you hope for,” Quick said. “I chose to self-publish and see what would happen.”

Isabella Rose Taylor, 13, poses with her artwork and clothing designs at her home in Austin, Texas. Her fashion line is debuting at Nordstrom stores, and she’s set to hold her first show at New York Fashion Week.

Fashion designer, 13, finds success By JAMIE STENGLE The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas – At the age of 9, Isabella Rose Taylor – a painter since she was 3 – took a weeklong sewing class with an eye toward incorporating textiles into her artwork. She quickly discovered a love for fashion design as well, taking the class twice more that summer. Now, at 13, her line is debuting at Nordstrom stores this fall and she’s set to hold her first show at New York Fashion Week. “It just started out as a really fun hobby, and it grew into a business over the years,” Taylor said at her Austin, Texas, home, where she’s converted one room into a studio and another into an office. She added, “I just really fell in love with it the way I fell in love with art, and I realized that I just had so much fun connecting the two.” With inspiration from an abstract mixed media painting she did when she was younger that includes reds, grays, blues, mustard yellow and neutral earthy tones, Taylor created a fall line with a “street grunge vibe” and “modern hippie” inspiration. “It all started with the colors of the painting for me,” Taylor said. Jennifer Jackson Brown, a corporate merchandise manager for Nordstrom, said Taylor’s line was a good fit for their juniors section. She said that at the same time she was

contacted by Taylor’s camp, her team had been trying to track Taylor down after seeing her on a television appearance. “What we really liked about her is that she is actually the age of [the] customer, so there’s that relatability factor that she has,” Jackson Brown said. “And on top of it, she’s quite aspirational for them at the same time.” Jackson Brown said they were not only impressed with her “keen sense of creating,” but also with her ability to explain how each piece works with the others and how the collection came together. “She’s actually quite a visionary at the age of 13,” Jackson Brown said. “I think sometimes what a designer misses is that people want to understand how to dress head-to-toe, and she was able to do that,” Jackson Brown said. Taylor’s fall collection includes “shorties,” high-waisted shorts made of a soft knit that can be paired with leggings and boots. There’s also a flannel jacket featuring one of the details she likes to include: a tiny American flag button on the pocket. A jersey baby doll dress and a henley tunic dress featuring the painting that inspired the collection. Taylor went to school on an accelerated schedule, graduating from high school at 11 and now attending community college.

The September Birthstone: Sapphire The word sapphire comes from the Greek word “sapphirus” meaning blue. It was once believed that the world was set up on an enormous sapphire which painted the whole sky blue with its reﬂection. Although very different in appearance, the sapphire and ruby are sister stones. Both gems belong to the corundum mineral family. Red corundum, colored by traces of chromium, is called ruby while blue corundum, colored by traces of titanium and iron, is known as sapphire. All colors of corundum are known as sapphire except for the red ruby. Ranking a 9 on the Moh’s Hardness Scale, it is second in hardness only to diamonds. Sapphires have been a long time favorite among priests and kings, who considered them symbolic of wisdom and purity. They were thought to be protective against envy and poisoning. When ground into a powder, it is believed to cure colic, rheumatism and mental illness and strengthen eyesight. A sapphire is the recommended gemstone for the 5th and 45th wedding anniversaries. A gift of this blue beauty represents sincerity, peace and faithfulness. It is important to have your sapphire jewelry cleaned and inspected at least every six months. As with all gemstones, care should be taken to avoid scratches, sharp blows, and extreme temperature changes.

After a loved one’s passing, grief can outlast support Dear Abby: My neighbor was very ill with diabetes and an amputee with other health problems. Her husband worked long hours to pay for her health care and keep food on the table. They also had custody of a 3-year-old granddaughter. I’m sorry to say this idea didn’t occur to me until after the lady died suddenly, and her husband was left a widower with a small child to raise. Once the funeral is over and the church and neighbors move on, those left behind are often without support. They have funeral bills to pay, medical bills and their grief. My local grocer happens to deliver, so I went and bought two cases of canned vegetables, rice, beans, flour, corn meal, sugar, potatoes and pasta every other month and had them delivered anonymously. That way my neighbor wouldn’t feel it was charity. He has since figured out it was me,

so I take food to them now because he’s still having a hard time after his wife’s death. But the little girl is thriving and I don’t have to worry she will be hungry. Please ask your readers to think beyond the usual mourning period and look further at a family’s situation after a loved one dies. A little help can go a long way. – Happy To

Lend A Hand In Tennessee Dear Happy To Lend A Hand: I’m pleased to print your letter. Everyone should be so lucky as to have a caring and generous neighbor like you. When a death happens, the most important thing is to maintain contact with a grieving family and observe the Golden Rule as you have been doing. The time to be a friend is when someone needs one. Dear Abby: Many years ago, we adopted three children through our state’s child welfare system. At the

time, we knew they had full and half-siblings somewhere “in the system.” We have not yet told our children they have biological siblings, although they do know their birth parents are no longer living due to drug abuse. I was recently able to locate two of the full siblings through Internet research, and I have been following their lives on their social networking pages. Both are adults now – one is a college student; the other is a young mother. I am torn. My children are teenagers now and old enough to be told they have other siblings. But should I uproot these young women’s lives to learn about us and meet our children? I’m also not sure whether they know the circumstances of their biological parents’ deaths or would want that information. It doesn’t seem fair to dump all

this on a college student and a young mom, but my children have a right to know, too. I almost wish I had never started searching. Please advise. –

Keeper Of The Secret In Illinois Dear Keeper Of The Secret: You are obviously a caring and sensitive woman. I agree your children have a right to know they have other blood relatives. I’d be very surprised if the young women your children are related to were shocked by your contacting them. They are older and may have some recollection of their siblings. However, before discussing this with your teenagers, I recommend that you make the initial contact to be absolutely sure the two adult siblings would like to meet your children.

Outside support often needed to escape family cycle “Tim’s” mom was a troubled lady. He had never known his dad, and he, his mom and his sister saw themselves like they were survivors in a lifeboat. They never had much money as mom’s drinking problem as well as obesity, diabetes and other physical ailments kept her mostly away from work and later on disability. She was a loving woman in her way but saw the world through the eyes of illness, so everything she saw and everyone she had contact with was viewed through that perspective. Tim was a restless kid and had more than his share of disappointment, shame

and low self-esteem when he reached school age, so it wasn’t long before mom had him at the doctor’s office suggesting that Tim had Attention Deficit Disorder. By the time Tim was 11, because he was shy, quiet and spent a fair amount of time alone, Tim’s mom had him at the doctor’s office suggesting that he was anxious and depressed. Medication for both things did little for Tim except make him feel more isolated and different. This should have been the clue that these mom-diagnosed problems weren’t getting at Tim’s real issues, but instead Mom took this lack of progress as a sign that Tim

had bigger issues and took his moodiness to mean he probably had bi-polar disorder. She had done quite of bit of research on the Internet, and it sure looked like he had the symptoms. She found a doctor to agree. In all this time, mom had done absolutely nothing about her issues. Her physical condition was worse than ever, and her drinking had morphed into a hazy booze and pill existence. Her life was characterized by more physical problems, more pills, more need for physical and now emotional problems to justify more pills, which created more emotional problems, which required more

pills and on and on as her addiction worsened. By the time Tim hit high school, he was on medication for anxiety, sleep, ADD and bi-polar disorder and was smoking weed all day every day. He spent most of his time with one or two other “misfit” kids playing video games and getting high. He got kicked out of school his sophomore year, primarily for lack of attendance, and got a part-time job in a muffler shop but got fired within six months for coming to work high. By the time Tim was 18, he had gained quite a bit of weight, was living at home, getting high every day and beginning to develop many of

the same ailments his mom had, which, of course, required additional medication. I wish I could say that this ended well, but two years have passed, and things are not significantly different. I wish someone could have seen Tim’s potential early and supported him enough to stay out of his mom’s well-meaning but misguided and ultimately self-centered attempts to help. There are a lot of “Tim’s” out there who need a hand up.

ventures into the catacombs that lie beneath the streets of Paris, they uncover the dark secret that lies within this city of the dead. RATED: R for bloody violence/terror and language throughout TIME: 1 hour, 33 minutes VERDICT: “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here,” is the inscription uncovered by a gang of 20-something treasure hunters in the catacomb-hopping horror flick, “As Above, So Below.” But the warning could easily apply to viewers checking out this rather hopeless mash-up of “The Descent” and “(Rec),” not to mention a dozen other found-footage movies that have clogged the screens over the past five years. Hardly credible, even for a film claiming that the gates of hell lie a few hundred feet below Paris (if anywhere, they can be found in an overcrowded Metro car with no air conditioning), this low budget effort from director John Erick Dowdle and writer-producer-brother Drew Dowdle provides a few late scares after plenty of eye-rolling setup, with said scares due more to the heavy sound design than the action itself. The characters are all so brazenly one-dimensional that “As Above” never passes the credibility test from the get-go, only partly salvaged by a few chilling moments that pop up in the final reel. No strangers to the found-footage game, the Brothers Dowdle (as they call their production shingle) already handled the lesser U.S. remake of “(Rec),” and while that movie at least had a decent pitch, this one feels like an oddly serious take on the tonguein-cheek Venice cave sequence from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” It doesn’t help either that this film is loaded with purposely shaky camerawork, making it hard to see what’s what and who’s who amid all the Mo-sick cinematography. At best, the filmmakers capitalize on their Paris locations, staging a few scenes in the actual catacombs (still a popular tourist attraction), others in a trendy nightclub and empty Right Bank cathedral. Along with a well-chosen closing song from French DJs Scratch Massive, and one or two genuine scares, that’s about the best this excursion has to offer. Come for the poster, stay for the end credits. –

back in on a very personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level CIA officials and the Russian president-elect. RATED: R for strong violence including a sexual assault, language, sexuality/nudity and brief drug use TIME: 1 hour, 48 minutes VERDICT: One-time 007 Pierce Brosnan embraces a darker take on spycraft in Roger Donaldson’s “The November Man,” playing a former CIA agent whose autumnal nickname acknowledges his tendency to leave few alive when he passes through a town. “November Man” won’t do anything like Bond’s box office, but will satisfy the actor’s fans and moviegoers biding their time until the next top-shelf le Carre-style thriller. Here, Brosnan plays Peter Devereaux, who in his day was known for his unwillingness to form personal attachments that could compromise his duties. Like all spies, though, he had his secrets: Though the film’s cat-and-mouse scenes hardly compare to those in a Bourne movie, they’re enjoyable and only occasionally ridiculous. (A long sequence in which Devereaux and Mason taunt each other on the phone during a chase makes little sense except for those longing to hear “You’ve lost your touch, old man” cliches.) Brosnan, whose old franchise made a smart turn away from superspy fantasy after his departure, plays the gritty side of spookdom well, and the film offers him (sometimes puzzling) opportunities to show just how nasty he can be, even as he’s risking life and limb to save a stranger. “Don’t put your faith in me, Alice – I promise I’ll disappoint you,” Peter says at one point, and Brosnan’s grave delivery almost makes you ignore the fact that it’s exactly the kind of line Pee-wee Herman ruined for troubled loners when he gave Dottie the kiss-off back in 1985’s “Pee-wee Herman’s Big Adventure.” This episode in Granger’s “November Man” series, “There Are No Spies,” was published two years after that, and Michael Finch and Karl Gajdusek’s script does little to disguise the fact that we’ve seen and heard all of this many, many times since. – The
