Project slated for ’16 draws concern
Barrington Hills government drops support of long-awaited Longmeadow Parkway Work on the long-planned Longmeadow Parkway likely will start as anticipated next spring, despite opposition that now includes one of the local governments that originally backed it. The project has been sought by local governments for more than 20 years, but the government of Barrington Hills

is nothing but a positive influence on the area,” Schmitt said. The project, which lies entirely within Kane County and will be supervised by its division of transportation, calls for building a four-lane road from Huntley Road east to Route 62 in Barrington Hills, and adds another Fox River bridge crossing that will require a toll to pass. Total construction is estimated at about $115 million,
with $42.2 million coming from the Illinois Department of Transportation, about $5 million each coming from the Kane/Kendall Council of Mayors and the federal government, as well as local building impact fees and revenues from the toll bridge that will be used to pay off bonds. Supporters repeatedly have assured the public that existing funds will cover the cost and a tax increase will not be needed.
After years of support, which included a successful 2006 advisory referendum, the Barrington Hills Village Board in June stated it now opposes the parkway. The village, which is fiercely protective of its suburban enclave of open space, large lots and rural characteristics, now says the Longmeadow project threatens that.

RATES ON THE RISE Area children in poverty nearly triples from 1999 to 2012 By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com
T
he Rev. Eric Blachford, a pastor in Harvard for the past year, sees it in small ways. A child in clothes that don’t quite fit. Parents’ questions about where to find help with food and school supplies. A school official wondering whether his son needed free and reduced lunch when registering last year because so many other students in the area needed it. As the plague of child poverty spreads to suburban areas across the country, Blachford said it’s become apparent enough in Harvard for him to do something. At the First United Methodist Church – Harvard this year, he implemented a free summer lunch

Then someone mentioned the Northern Illinois Food Bank.” In 2013, about one in five kids in Illinois – about 600,000 – lived in households with incomes below poverty level (about $18,750 for a family of three), according to the 2015 Illinois

Kids Count from the Voices of Illinois Children. Of the five collar counties, Research Director Larry Joseph said McHenry County has seen the most growth in child poverty, about an 178 percent increase from 1999 to 2012. That’s about 9,000 kids up from 3,200 in 13 years, well below the number of impoverished youth in surrounding counties. Still, Joseph said the tripling of the local poverty level clearly is cause for concern, noting McHenry County’s inclusion in the trending suburbanization of poverty, despite a seemingly recovering economy. “There are two major factors at play ... the first being the migration of low-income families from central cities to suburban areas,” he said. “So

BEIJING – A typhoon was pounding southeast China late Saturday, leaving more than a million homes without power after lashing Taiwan, where it downed trees, traffic lights and power lines, and left six people dead and four missing. Typhoon Soudelor hit the city of Putian in Fujian province late Saturday night and was expected to move across the region, China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported. The storm earlier caused more than 3 million households in Taiwan to lose electricity, with streets strewn with fallen trees. All 279 domestic flights on the island were canceled Saturday, as well as at least 37 international flights. At least 101 people were injured in the storm. An 8-year-old girl and her mother died when they were swept out to sea Thursday from a beach on the east coast, Taiwan’s official Central News Agency reported. The girl’s twin sister remains missing.
Other casualties included a firefighter who was killed and another injured after being hit by a drunken driver as they attempted to move a fallen tree in the island’s south. The center of the storm made landfall in eastern Taiwan before daybreak Saturday. By mid-morning, Soudelor was packing maximum sustained winds of 100 miles per hour, Taiwan’s Central Weather Bureau said. The typhoon weakened later Saturday with top winds of up to 89 mph while moving away from the island in a northwesterly direction. Strong winds and heavy rains were expected to continue in Taiwan. Authorities in southeast China evacuated about 163,000 people and ordered around 32,000 ships back to port ahead of the typhoon, Xinhua reported. More than 7,000 soldiers and police were on standby, provincial authorities said. The provincial capital of Fuzhou was being battered by heavy rain and strong winds, and all flights to the city

SG road with sinkhole still closed Construction season
By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com • BLIVIN STREET AND WILMOT ROAD: Spring Grove commuters have good driving news and bad driving news this week. As it is custom to present the bad news first, southbound Blivin Street remained closed as of Saturday because of a sinkhole that opened up several weeks ago. Drivers trying to reach Route 12 from the north can take a detour of Main Street east to Wilmot Road. That brings us to the good news. Work on the Wilmot Road bridge over Nippersink Creek is finished, and the bridge is open to traffic. • ROUTE 14: Traffic during work hours at the Routes 14 and 176 intersection has slowed to a long, aggravating crawl that can take at least 30 minutes, and longer when workers have the road down to one lane.
Get road construction updates and find out which roads in McHenry Country are under construction at NWHerald.com/construction.
The only realistic way to bypass it is to take Hillside Road north of Route 14. Although it is out of the way, it beats sitting for 20 minutes in stop-and-go traffic. Work is ongoing to rebuild and widen Route 14 from West Lake Shore Drive in Woodstock to just south of Crystal Lake Avenue. The $48 million project will take two years to complete. While the project is divided into two contracts, with Lucas Road near McHenry County College separating them, work on both will take place simultaneously, meaning drivers will need to plan for two work zones. The road will be widened
to two lanes in each direction, separated by a 22-foot landscaped median. A 10-foot bike path will be included from Lake Shore Drive to just past MCC. Traffic signals will be improved or installed at eight intersections along the route. • LAKEWOOD ROAD/LAKE AVENUE: Work is ongoing to resurface and add bike lanes along Lakewood Road’s entire length from Haligus Road to Ackman Road, and along Lake Avenue from Huntley Road west to the village line. Work should be done by late fall. • SOUTH MAIN STREET, CRYSTAL LAKE: Crystal Lake drivers should anticipate delays as construction continues to widen and improve a stretch of South Main Street and Pyott Road from south of Route 14 to north of Rakow Road. The project will widen the entire road to four lanes – eliminating choke points for northbound drivers on Pyott Road and southbound drivers
on South Main Street – and it will improve the roads’ intersection with Virginia Road. The $5.7 million project, which is being paid by a federal grant, the city and McHenry County, will be finished by November, weather permitting. • CHARLES MILLER ROAD: Workers this year will finish widening Charles Miller Road to four lanes west to Route 31, and they will improve its intersection with Route 31 and Bull Valley Road. Bull Valley Road from the Union Pacific railroad tracks west will be improved as part of the plan. Work on the project, pegged at $17.3 million, is expected to wrap up in November, weather permitting.

BALANCING TECHNOLOGY Teachers focus on integrating computers, other ideas in D-47 By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The kids were supposed to be examining and debating a book on an online discussion board, but they were just throwing their thoughts out without responding or building on posts by other students. The use of technology – in this case, an app called Edmodo that offers school-safe social networks for teachers and students to use – wasn’t improving the learning experience, said Anastasia Gruper, Glacier Ridge Elementary School Assistant Principal. “If you don’t have collaboration, and you throw kids on Edmodo, and they don’t know how to respond to each other and build off of one another’s ideas, then it doesn’t enhance it,” she said. “Actually, I think it impedes it. I think it makes it a worse learning environment.” Gruper was discussing the balance teachers need to find to make sure their students are getting the technology skills, content knowledge and soft skills like collaboration

It also is mobile-friendly, an important feature for on-thego families and those without Internet at home. Barr will demonstrate how to use the new site at upcoming parent nights. The revamp isn’t over yet, however. A mobile app is set to be released, Barr hopes, in January, and individual teacher sites will follow at some point. A new dashboard feature will allow parents to customize the content they view, such as their child’s school calendars and homework assignments, and to sign up to receive important updates from their child’s school. Barr said the website will serve as another tool to build relationships among the students, parents and teachers.

The redesign was the result of feedback from parents and other users that the website was difficult to navigate and clunky, Barr said. The new version is meant to be more user-friendly and engaging through updated and reorganized content, improved navigation and the use of photos and video, she said.

Obama declares disaster area, orders federal aid • TYPHOON
Continued from page A1 were canceled, Xinhua said. The neighboring province of Jiangxi also issued a typhoon alert. Heavy rains were forecast through Sunday morning in the northern part of Fujian. Even before the storm made landfall, strong winds caused power outages to more than 1.41 million household in the province, Xinhua said. On Friday afternoon, marine police rescued 55 university students and teachers trapped on a small island where they had been attending a summer camp, after strong gales stopped ferry services, Xinhua said. The U.S. government was sending more aid to the Commonwealth of the North-
ern Mariana Islands, which was battered by Soudelor on Aug. 2. The powerful typhoon snapped utility poles and toppled trees, leaving residents without electricity and running water. The Pacific Daily News reported food, water, dry milk, power generators and temporary shelter are expected to arrive on the main island of Saipan this weekend. The goods left Guam aboard the USS Ashland on Friday. Hundreds of Marines also are on the amphibious dock landing ship, which was returning to Japan from a three-week military exercise off Australia but rerouted to Saipan. President Barack Obama has declared the Northern Marianas a disaster area and ordered federal aid to help the U.S. territory.
Schmitt: Opposition is more political than reality • PARKWAY
Continued from page A1 Its biggest concern, Village President Martin McLaughlin said, is that the eastern end of the project will dump traffic onto Route 62 in the village, essentially shifting congestion issues from other municipalities to Barrington Hills. “Our residents were pretty upset. They don’t want a fourlane highway going through a rural community,” McLaughlin said. Citizens opposed to the project have spoken in recent months before the Algonquin and Carpentersville village boards, and they also have taken their case to Facebook and other social media platforms. Opponents in Dundee Township in Kane County took advantage of the annual town meeting in April to get an advisory referendum on the March 2016 ballot regarding the Longmeadow Parkway, right about the time the project is expected to start
construction. Kane County has spent about $30 million on engineering and land acquisition, and construction is expected to last until 2019. The first contract to build from Huntley Road to just west of Randall Road is expected to be let this winter, Kane County Assistant Director of Transportation Steve Coffinbargar said. Schmitt said he does not see opposition scuttling the project, and he hopes the Barrington Hills Village Board comes around on its stance. “I think this is more of a political issue than it is a reality issue, and I would hope that Barrington Hills realizes that cooperation among officials is beneficial to everybody,” Schmitt said. But McLaughlin, who has been village president of Barrington Hills since 2011, said the board’s opposition is firm. “You’re going to add 8,000 to 10,000 cars a day going from four lanes [on the parkway] down to two lanes [on Route 62],” he said.
there’s a demographic change going on. “The other is that the recession and longer-term economic stagnation in the period leading up to the recession sort of accelerated the growth of child poverty in many suburban areas.” Children who grow up in poverty have a higher risk of remaining in poverty, being less ready for school and, therefore, less likely to be economically successful in adulthood, Joseph said. In Illinois specifically, he said the state’s finances have been a catalyst for childhood poverty, with several social programs experiencing significant budget cuts and, possibly, more to follow. That’s one reason a grassroots service provider is struggling to keep up with the need in Woodstock, where
Joseph said child poverty is at its highest – 25 percent – among trackable McHenry County communities. The Woodstock Area Community Ministries, a coalition of several area churches and a synagogue, holds its direct assistance program on every first and third Thursday of the month. Director Patrice Braun said the number of incoming applications for food, clothing and other necessity vouchers has gone from about 40 to 100 a month in the past year. While the churches that contribute to the ministry recently have received less funding, the demand has grown. “Some of these kids that come in here now are just destitute,” Braun said. “The need has escalated, and I am stunned. And I can’t help them all.” School districts have watched the trend’s effects on the student population, with

“We were very surprised with the numbers,” Jakacki said. “In June, we served over 425 meals, and, in July, over 530 meals. “It’s been surprising how high the poverty rate seems to be because we see these kids every day, but we don’t necessarily know that much about them.” Organizers of existing programs and services, such as Jakacki, Blachford and Braun, have said as more children become part of a troubling statistic, it’s time for the communities to look around and take notice. “Depending on where we live, we can become blind to it if it’s not immediately on the path we take to work or not in our social circle of friends,” Blachford said. “It becomes easy to miss that there are people living very, very difficult lives, so it’s important to get involved and learn what kind of options there are.”

more kids reaching eligibility for the free and reduced lunch program, as Blachford noticed at his own child’s school. Regional Superintendent of the McHenry County Office of Education Leslie Schermerhorn said areas such as Woodstock, Harvard, Wonder Lake and McHenry definitely have seen the more noticeable increases in program participation, while areas in the southeastern part of the county don’t appear to be facing the same level of poverty. The county’s school districts collectively have seen the number of eligible students climb from about 20 percent to 30 percent in six years, according to data from Schermerhorn. Like Blachford, Lesley Jakacki, youth services manager for the McHenry Public Library, for the first time implemented a free lunch program, and she said its results were unexpected.

Concept plan shows site would be repurposed into public area • CARY METRA
Continued from page A3
H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com
Teachers Lindsay Huart (from left), Carrie Baughcum, Norma Viets and Beth Weber take notes Thursday as South Milwaukee School District’s technology coach Tammy Lind (right) explains how Google Apps can assist students with organization during District 47’s transliteracy conference at Hannah Beardsley Middle School in Crystal Lake.
Workshop analyzed how technology fit into the classroom • TECHNOLOGY
“The more you use the technology and the more the teachers are getting comfortable with it, the more outside the box they start to think. ... A conference like this gives them some of those outof-the-box ideas.”
Continued from page A3 able to handle group collaboration face to face?” North Elementary School Principal Steve Scarfe said. “I think teachers have a lot of responsibility to try to work both sides of that.” The transliteracy conference is in its second year at Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47, an experiment that had built off the literacy conferences the district had offered its educators for years as continuing education opportunities, said Corey Holmer, a former District 47 science teacher who was one of the first to bring iPads into his classroom and ultimately ended up as one of the district’s first iCoaches. He is now an educational technologist at Lake Forest High School District 115. About 160 educators attended, mostly from District 47 but a few from Immanuel Lutheran School, St. Thomas the Apostle School and the Crystal Lake Public Library, spokeswoman Denise Barr said. The district has been cautious in its rollout of technology, starting with a pilot program in 2010 and then building on it each year, said Dave Jenkins, the district’s assistant superintendent of technology services. Each middle school has about one device for every two students, some of which are shared, and 41 middle school classrooms have an iPad for every student, he said. They wanted to build a collection of trailblazers or “technology champions” that could try out the programs and then serve as trainers for other teachers, Jenkins said. Jenkins has proposed going one-to-one at the district’s three middle schools for the past two years, but with the district in the middle of updating its curriculum to align it with Common Core and the uncertainty that hovers over school districts as state lawmakers
the village’s idea is possible, although not definite, from the Illinois Department of Transportation’s standpoint. Clark explained it likely would require an easement given the potential building’s location on a right-ofway controlled by IDOT. The survey in progress,
he said, is measuring the land to verify exactly where IDOT’s right-of-way starts and stops, and once the results are in, the village will sit down with IDOT officials to talk more about an easement. If all goes well, Clark said there is still the matter of working with Metra to achieve what the village hopes to see there. The envisioned warming shelter-station would
be a four-sided facility on the north side of the tracks closer to Main Street, with a covered patio and space for a ticket agent. Although it would not include washrooms, Clark said it would be a safe, temperature-controlled building for commuters. A concept plan from the village shows the site where the current building sits would be repurposed into a
public area for community gatherings. Clark added the village’s vision is within the conceptual budget, which would include partnered monies – the $2 million in federal funds and $1 million from the village. “The idea has been to get the legwork done this year so there could possibly be construction in the second half of 2016,” he said.
City allotted $45,500 for project; lowest bid came in at $75,958 • OPERA HOUSE
Continued from page A3 a couple of things,” Greenleaf said before the meeting of not approving the bids. The roof on the south addition to the building went on in the early 1980s and has needed replacement for a few years now, Greenleaf said. He said the roof has been
leaking, causing plaster damage to the ceilings and walls and staining the woodwork. Greenleaf said he has been patching the roof for years, and it’s been hotmopped twice, but “it’s time for a new roof.” Money for the repairs comes out of the Opera House’s operating budget, Greenleaf said. City Manager Roscoe Stelford said Thursday they will
look again at the bidding process and see if things could be done to lower the price, and Greenleaf also said he is looking for other options. “At some point in time we’re going to have to rebid it and fund it going forward,” Stelford said. Until then, Greenleaf said he will continue patching the roof. The city allocated $45,500 in its current five-year Cap-
ital Improvement Program for replacement of the roof on the south addition to the building. The bids received to replace the roof included a $75,958 estimate from Waukegan Roofing Co. Inc., Waukegan, an $88,322 estimate from Malcor Roofing of IL Inc., St. Charles, and a $94,363 estimate from All American Exterior Solutions, Lake Zurich.
Jamie Michelau iCoach at transliteracy conference propose pension cost shifts or changes to the education funding formula, the school board has decided to hold off, he said. “But what I would always say is curriculum has to drive our purchasing of technology,” he said. “It can’t be just technology for technology’s sake. Districts around us that have done that, good or bad, when you do a one-toone implementation, which we’re not at yet, there’s going to be issues. There’s a lot of things that go into that.” Huntley Community School District 158 went oneto-one primarily because of its reading curriculum, said Jenkins, who had worked at that district before moving over to District 47. The workshop that Jenkins and Holmer hosted with iCoach Jamie Michelau focused on how technology fits into the classroom, and although sometimes it can substitute some analog technologies, it may not always be the right choice. Technology should really be used to enhance or redefine a lesson, perhaps by bringing in an author to discuss their book via Skype, Michelau said. “The more you use the technology and the more the teachers are getting comfortable with it, the more outside the box they start to think,” she said. “They start thinking about how else could I use a GoogleDoc, what else can I do with it. A conference like this gives them some of those out-ofthe-box ideas.”

McHENRY
McHenry Township firefighter, battalion chief leaves By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A battalion chief who spent more than 23 years with the McHenry Township Fire Protection District as a firefighter, lieutenant, assistant chief and, finally, battalion chief has taken a new job in Round Lake, the fire chief said. Battalion Chief Joseph Krueger has accepted a job as deputy chief, a step up, for the Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District, Chief Tony Huemann said. Krueger, who is off from his new department this week, was unavailable for comment. “I think he’ll be very, very successful there,” Huemann said. The McHenry Township Fire Protection District is accepting applications to fill Krueger’s position, one of the three full-time battalion chiefs the district has. Because none of the firefighters or lieutenants are full-time, the district is required to go through the state-mandated firefighter hiring process for the battalion chief position, Huemann said. That process is open to both internal and external candidates. Applications are due Sept. 4. Huemann said he’s “not worried at all” about finding quality candidates despite the added challenges that come with managing a parttime staff. “There are many very strong candidates out there,” he said, adding anyone who applies for the spot is going to be aware of the type of department McHenry is and will be up for the challenge. In the meantime, the district plans on using two or three lieutenants to cover the duties, Huemann said. Krueger was one of the two battalion chiefs who sued the district over their pensions, arguing the years they spent as full-time administrators should count toward their years. Huemann said he was unaware if the lawsuit played into Krueger leaving, and it wasn’t mentioned when he and Krueger talked about the move. The case still is pending.

A promising start for latest remap effort In May, the Independent Map Amendment Coalition announced its petition drive to establish a nonpartisan independent redistricting commission in Illinois. To say that the effort has gotten off to a fast start is something of an understatement. On July 28, only three months after launch, the group announced it had collected more than 210,000 signatures toward its goal of 600,000 signatures, which is twice the number For the record required by law to have a constituThat’s what Illinois destional amendment perately needs – legislative placed on the districts that aren’t drawn to ballot. protect incumbents or parThat number ties, but are created to foster is a substantial electoral competition and increase from the legislators’ accountability to 95,000 signatures the voters. reported July 20. The news follows the group’s hiring of veteran reform advocate Cindi Canary in June to lead the coalition’s campaign. A week after Canary’s arrival, the U.S. Supreme Court, ruling in Arizona State Legislature versus Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, upheld the constitutionality of independent redistricting commissions of the type that the Independent Map Amendment would create in Illinois. The cards seem to be falling in favor of the petition drive – the third attempt since 2010 – to take legislative redistricting out of the hands of politicians and place it under the control of an independent commission charged with drawing maps without regard to incumbency or partisanship. That’s what Illinois desperately needs – legislative districts that aren’t drawn to protect incumbents or parties, but are created to foster electoral competition and legislators’ accountability to the voters. What happens when lawmakers aren’t accountable? Well, we’re in the 40th day of having no state budget for fiscal 2015-16. That’s what happens. Last November, 82 of our state representatives and senators had no opponents on the ballot, because their districts were considered so “safe” that no opponents bothered to mount fruitless campaigns against them. Such lack of accountability not only is an affront to democracy. It aids and abets dysfunctional government of the variety we now see in Springfield. How can the average person help the Independent Map Amendment Coalition? Visit its website, www.MapAmendment.org, for petitions that can be downloaded and other information about how to circulate, notarize and submit them. Contact the group by email at info@MapAmendment.org. Write a letter to: Independent Maps, 71 S. Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606 Call the office at 773-453-6271. Majority Democrats drew the 2011 district boundaries to their advantage – the same thing Republicans did in 1991 when they totally controlled the process. Clearly, it’s time to take the power to draw district lines away from politicians. Fast starts don’t guarantee success. Independent Maps still has about 400,000 signatures to collect before the deadline in early May. If you want democracy and government to work better in Illinois, please volunteer to give Independent Maps a hand.

Timing is everything President Barack Obama must have gotten a good laugh out of a federal court decision less than two months ago. Timing is everything, Obama may have chuckled. In early June, a panel of judges in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia threw out challenges to the Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to shut down even more coal-fired power plants. Judges ruled it was premature to hear the cases because they were in objection to the EPA’s proposal. Until it was implemented, the courts had no jurisdiction, the ruling stated. On Monday, the White House announced the plan is being implemented. Only the most naive would believe that EPA officials did not have a timetable for quick action on the plan, even as they were arguing it was only a proposal. They and probably Obama himself knew perfectly well the EPA was, to use military firearms parlance, locked and loaded on the new rules. On Monday, Obama pulled the trigger.

To the Editor: It was a beautiful Saturday evening, and we had two options: Lollapalooza – Drive two hours to Grant Park, pay at least $40 for parking, $110 for tickets and fight 100,000 people to see Metallica through a telescope. The Rotary’s Blues, Brews & BBQ – Drive 10 minutes to Peterson Park, pay nothing to park, $10 for tickets and enjoy a relaxing evening with three great blues bands, friends and family, tasty barbecue and really good beer. It was an easy choice, and we had a great time. Thanks, Rotary. We already are looking forward to next year. Also music related, the McHenry City Band’s last summer concert was July 30, and as always, it did a grand job. It’s the best little big band north of the Gulf of Mexico and east of the Pacific Ocean. Is McHenry County a great place to live or what? Tom Jacobs McHenry
Democrats to blame
To the Editor: I suggest the headline writers become more factual. “Senate blocks GOP bill to halt
Planned Parenthood fed funds” It should read: “The Democrats in the Senate blocked the GOP bill ...” So much for the party of the “people.” The unborn children don’t vote, so the Democrats aren’t interested, particularly when you consider Planned Parenthood’s contributions are one-sided to Democratic candidates. For Harry Reid, D-Nevada, to say the Republicans have lost their moral compass just adds to the idiocy that often comes out of his mouth.

feel his views are far out. Scott Walker is trying to impress with his foreign policy experience. He believes Putin is threatening Georgia – but feels the folks in Atlanta will reject him. He also thinks the Koch brothers own the beverage company. Mike Huckabee has a gig lined up with the Grand Ole Opera and is reconsidering. The money is better in Nashville anyway. Chris Christie still is trying to cross that bridge when it reopens. Washington is concerned about retrofitting all furniture in the White House if per chance Christie wins. It never ends with all these wonderful men (and Carly Fiorina) running for the GOP trophy. If the GOP is looking for a campaign song, I’d suggest “Send in the Clowns.” Harry Wolden Huntley
Obama keeps his promises on carbon During the 2008 presidential campaign, Sen. Barack Obama said: “...if somebody wants to build a coal power plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them ...” He added that under his now defeated Cap and Trade bill, “electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” In 2010, Cap and Trade died in the Senate, but the president’s goal of bankrupting the coal industry never waned. Monday he announced the Environmental Protection Agency will impose new regulations throughout the country limiting carbon emissions from power plants powered by fossil fuels. Several states are challenging the EPA rules “that aim to cut carbon emissions in the power sector by 32 percent.” EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, testifying before Congress, was asked about claims that the new EPA plan would affect global warming by a measly .01 degrees Celsius, to which she replied, “...I’m not disagreeing that this action in and of itself will not make all the difference we need to address climate action, but if we don’t take action domestically, we will never get started ...” The Washington Post, which believes the Earth is warming and humans are responsible, ac-
VIEWS Cal Thomas knowledged the regulations have “shortcomings,” but endorsed them because they set a good example for the rest of the world. So, these regulations are likely to cost jobs, raise electricity prices and have a minimal effect on global temperatures, but they will set a good example? Is that the new policy standard? Among many reasons Americans should be suspicious of this “climate change putsch,” as a Wall Street Journal editorial labeled it, is that Administrator McCarthy has refused to release the “secret science” her agency used when drafting the new regulations. This “most transparent administration in U.S. history” now has added to the secret side deals with Iran, secret scientific “evidence,” which may not be evidence at all. Cults do that by suppressing any information and facts contrary to the imposed orthodoxy. After the initial fusillade from critics, the president fired back, arguing addressing “climate change” is a moral obligation and a matter
of national security. It would be helpful to know the president’s standard for determining what is moral and what is immoral, especially since he has said nothing about those Planned Parenthood videos in which high-level employees are shown explaining how the organization can abort babies in ways that preserve body parts. And there is ISIS, which continues to operate and appears not to have been “diminished and degraded,” as the president promised it would. Is ISIS not a bigger national security issue? The president might have more political success and even attract Republican and conservative support had he framed this in a different way. Instead of attacking coal plants and other users of fossil fuel that have produced electricity and elevated the American lifestyle, he should have launched a campaign to deprive terrorists and Islamic fundamentalists of oil revenue. Instead of picking the controversial “climate change” horse to ride roughshod over Congress and a skeptical public, the president might have embraced an alternative fuel agenda that would have achieved his desired end without the crushing blows that almost certainly
will impact states where fossil fuels have provided jobs that probably will evaporate, if not immediately, then eventually. The EPA regulations are likely to reach the Supreme Court. In 2007, while the Court did grant authority to the EPA to regulate carbon emissions (Mass. v. EPA), it said it was not giving the agency an unrestricted license to do what it wants. It ruled costs and outcomes must be taken into consideration as part of its regulatory mandates. The Court decision was one of two rebukes it has delivered to the EPA in the past two years for exceeding its statutory powers. As the Court noted, “When an agency claims to discover in a long-extant statute an unheralded power to regulate a significant portion of the American economy, we typically greet its announcement with a measure of skepticism. We expect Congress to speak clearly if it wishes to assign to an agency decisions of vast economic and political significance.” These are bound to be the issues should the EPA regulations again reach the Court, as they should.

Some Ill. students to take new science exam The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A new online science exam that will be introduced to some students this coming school year signals a change in the way the subject is taught in Illinois. The exams are based on Next Generation Science Standards, which cover topics like evolution and climate change, and are expected to be administered to Illinois students in fifth, eighth and 10th grades in April or May. The new standards were adopted early last year as part of a multi-state effort to advance

BRIEFS Ill. housing agency offers down payment help
BELLEVILLE – Help with down payments for first-time home buyers is available from the Illinois Housing Development Authority. The Belleville News Democrat reported the housing agency received $30 million from the federal government to help those wanting to buy homes in ten Illinois counties. As many as 4,000 would-be homeowners may be assisted through the program. The money comes from the “Hardest Hit Fund” operated by the U.S. Treasury. The housing agency said those who qualify may receive $7,500 in down-payment assistance with an interest rate that could be as low as 4.1 percent for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage. Applicants must contribute $1,000 or 1 percent of the purchase price – whichever is greater – and need a credit score of at least 640.
Owners who leave pets outside may face charges CHICAGO – People who leave a pet outside in extreme heat or cold could face misdemeanor charges under a new Illinois law. Gov. Bruce Rauner signed legislation Friday making it a Class A misdemeanor if dogs and cats are injured or die because of their exposure to extreme weather. The offense is punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 or up to one year in jail, though judges would have discretion to impose lesser sentences. State Rep. Sara Feigenholtz sponsored the legislation. The Chicago Democrat told The Chicago Tribune the bill was prompted by a large number of cases last winter in which dogs died after being left outside in subzero temperatures. The law takes effect Jan. 1.
Gov.: Woman is ‘alleged perpetrator’ in 4 slayings
BARRE, Vt. – The woman charged in the slaying of a Vermont social worker also is “the alleged perpetrator” of the deaths of three relatives whose bodies were found Saturday, Gov. Peter Shumlin said. The three women found dead at a Berlin home Saturday morning were an aunt and two cousins of 40-year-old Jody Herring, the governor said at a news conference Saturday night after returning from vacation in Nova Scotia upon hearing of the deaths. Herring was arrested on a murder charge in the death of

Lara Sobel. Sobel was gunned down after work Friday outside a state office building in Barre. She handled a case for the state Department for Children and Families in which Herring lost custody of her 9-year-old daughter, authorities said. Herring was in custody, pending an arraignment Monday. It wasn’t clear if she had a lawyer who could comment on her behalf. “I think all Vermonters are as shocked, dismayed, horrified and grief-stricken as all of us are,” Shumlin said. “I cannot remember, in my lifetime, four people being murdered by the same alleged perpetrator.” Shumlin tentatively identified the three victims found Saturday as Rhonda Herring and Regina Herring, the suspect’s cousins; and Julianne Falzarano, an aunt. Autopsies will be conducted. The cousins were in their 40s, and the aunt in her 70s, he said. Shumlin said the three were killed before Sobel’s life was taken. Police received a 911 call to the Berlin home Saturday, he said. The governor said the investigation into the deaths of Herring’s relatives was ongoing and he declined to release any additional information. Police said at least two of the women appeared to have been shot.
science exam exists,” said Cassie Creswell, an activist who is against excessive testing and transferred her children out of Chicago Public Schools in part because of that. “I think parents already concerned about the time PARCC and prep for PARCC are taking will be unhappy to know that even more time will be taken up in fifth, eighth and 10th grade for yet another standardized test.” Educators know few other details about the new science exams, known as the Illinois State Science Assessment, because thousands of teachers statewide still are being
trained. That’s raised some concerns about how students will perform when they take the exams in the spring, according to Carol Baker, who oversees science curriculum in Oak Lawn’s Community High School District 218 and is helping develop the state’s new science standards. The focus in the new state shifts away from memorization of facts and toward a deep analysis in key areas of science, according to Northwestern University professor Brian Reiser, who participated on a national committee to help guide cre-
ation of the new standards. University of Illinois at Chicago professor James Pellegrino is co-chair of a national committee on developing assessments for the new standards. “What we’re asking kids to be able to do is to be able to reason more,” he said. “The questions are likely to be more challenging, but they should be able to deal with them if the instruction is allowed to catch up.” The timing makes sense, Pellegrino said, because fourth-, seventh- and 11th-graders will no longer take science exams.
Ferguson parade commemorates Brown By JIM SALTER and JIM SUHR The Associated Press FERGUSON, Mo. – On the eve of the anniversary of Michael Brown being shot and killed during a confrontation with a police officer, Brown’s father said Saturday that the family still mourns the 18-yearold’s death. Several weekend events planned to commemorate Brown’s death. Among them was a parade Saturday led by Michael Brown Sr., starting at the memorial on Canfield Drive in Ferguson that marks the site where Brown was fatally shot by former officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014. Time has not healed his wounds, Brown said before the procession, in which several hundred people, a drum corps and some cars joined in on the five-mile route to Normandy High School. “At the end of the day, I still lost my boy,” he said. “I’m still hurting. My family’s still hurting.” Brown said the anniversary brings back all of the grief and raw emotions, but that it’s important to continue standing up to concerns about police brutality and the use of force. His son’s death helped spur a national “Black Lives Matter” movement. As the pa-

Michael Brown Sr., along with family and friends, stops Saturday to pray at a memorial to his son before taking part in a parade in his son’s honor in Jennings, Mo. Sunday marks one year since Michael Brown was shot and killed by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. rade began, he took an armful of stuffed animals and placed them in the middle of the street where his son died. The U.S. Justice Department and a St. Louis County grand jury cleared Wilson, who resigned in November, of wrongdoing. A separate Justice Department investigation of Ferguson’s justice system found evidence of a profit-driven court system and widespread racial bias by police. Onlookers were mostly scattered in small clusters on
Saturday. Ferguson interim Police Chief Andre Anderson stood alongside St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar and Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol on West Florissant Avenue, waving to parade participants and shaking hands with some. The street was the site of protests, looting and riots in the aftermath of Brown’s death. A vocal group of about 30 people marching in the parade began chanting “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” as they neared the of-
ficers, then “Pigs in a blanket fry like bacon.” Otherwise, the crowd was peaceful. Police presence was limited mostly to officers at intersections keeping traffic away from the parade, and there were no immediate reports of confrontations. Darius Simpson, 22, made the trip to Ferguson from Eastern Michigan University for the weekend and was in the parade. Simpson, who is black, said he had never been an activist until Brown’s death, but said a visit to Ferguson last year during the height of the unrest changed him. “Something snapped in me, seeing the memorial, seeing how Ferguson reacted inspired me to take it back to Michigan,” Simpson said. St. Louis resident Carlatta Bussey, 41, brought her 7-yearold son. “I wanted to show him he needs to stand up for what he believes in,” said Bussey, who is black. “It’s important for him to know he has a voice.” Hours after the march attended by the elder Brown, hundreds – many with “Black Lives Matter” placards – took part in a similar event in St. Louis in memory of VonDerrit Myers Jr., a black 18-year-old shot and killed last October by an off-duty St. Louis police officer.
Wastewater from Colo. mine reaches New Mexico
Mustard-colored wastewater laced with heavy metals continues to drain into a river from an abandoned mine in southwestern Colorado at a rate of about 550 gallons a minute, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, which caused the spill. The rate of discharge Saturday was down from about 740 gallons a minute Friday. But three days after the massive spill, the agency said it still didn’t know what the possible environmental and health impacts are. The agency said it hoped to have a thorough lab analysis of the contaminants – which include lead and arsenic – as soon as Saturday evening or Sunday morning. “We’re busting our tails to get that out,” Environmental Protection Agency Regional Director Shaun McGrath said. “We know the importance to people to have this information.” In the meantime, the EPA said it had finished building two containment ponds to treat the yellow sludge. – Wire reports

Pennsylvania’s top prosecutor arraigned on criminal charges By MARYCLAIRE DALE The Associated Press NORRISTOWN, Pa. – Pennsylvania’s top prosecutor barely spoke at her arraignment Saturday on charges including a felony count of perjury, but her attorney stressed afterward that she has no plans to resign, despite growing pressure even among her fellow Democrats. Attorney General Kathleen Kane did not enter a plea during the brief proceedings via closed-circuit television in suburban Philadelphia and only responded to the judge with yes or no. She said nothing when she left and avoided a phalanx of news cameras by going out a side door. Magisterial District Judge Cathleen Kelly Rebar set a preliminary hearing for Aug. 24

Kane is accused of leaking secret grand jury information through an operative to a newspaper reporter as payback for a former state prosecutor she thought made her look bad, and then lying about her actions under oath.

Kevin Steele called the case an important one for the citizens of the commonwealth. “It’s a sad day in that there’s been arraignment now for the chief law enforcement officer in the state,” Steele said. “We’re here to proceed with the case and bring justice.” The case against Kane, a political newcomer in 2012 when she became the first woman and first Democrat elected as Pennsylvania attorney general, could end her status as the state’s highest-ranking female officeholder. The 49-year-old Kane contends she is innocent of any wrongdoing and has portrayed herself as a victim of payback for taking on a corrupt, oldboy law enforcement network and exposing state employees for exchanging pornographic emails.

through the rubble. “She was nameless. Now her name is Rocky,” said Rivas, dubbing the bird for the blaze that officials call the Rocky Fire. While the fire burning 100 miles north of San Francisco is the biggest, another 16 blazes continue to burn in California and more than 7,000 thousands firefighters are battling them, Cal Fire said. In Humboldt County, more than 70 blazes sparked by lighting had consumed 7 square miles and incinerated six outbuildings. The fires are burning in steep, rugged terrain with poor access and heavy timber fuels and are threating commercial timberland. Much of the timberland is owned by small timberland and rangeland owners, who rely on timber and range revenue for a steady source of income. The fires are also threatening habitat for endangered species, Cal Fire said.

CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – All evacuations were lifted Saturday after cooler weather helped firefighters gain more ground against a Northern California wildfire that has forced hundreds of people from their homes. The blaze is 62 percent contained after sweeping through nearly 109 square miles of rural timberlands and brushy hills in Lake, Colusa and Yolo counties, Cal Fire said. Cooler weather overnight and relative humidity allowed fire crews to make progress and reinforcement, which includes 50 fire engines, sent to California from Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona helped relieve some fire personnel who have been working two weeks straight, Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said. About 3,000 firefighters continued to fight the blaze Saturday, down from 3,600 during
the peak of the fire that erupted July 29. The fire is not growing – only creeping and smoldering – but gusty southwest winds through many parts of Northern California are forecast for next week and that could elevate fire risks, Berlant said. “We still have a lot of work to do until we can get good containment all around the fire so it doesn’t become active again,” he said. Most of 1,200 evacuees had returned home by Friday. But while containment grew, so did the sadness for some who lost everything. Layna Rivas returned to her artists’ compound up a rocky dirt road Thursday night and found the place destroyed. “It looked like a bomb went off everywhere,” she said. The 35-year-old left her home last week and took her dogs and cats to a friend’s house. She had to leave her nine chickens behind. She found two of them, one of which was walking

Why do air conditioners ice up? Icing of an air conditioner is a very common problem when the system isn’t cooling the house. It refers to ice building up on the suction line (insulated copper pipe going from the coil to condenser). The ultimate result of icing is that the compressor, suction line and indoor coil are completely encapsulated in a block of ice. Once the coil is frozen over, you no longer get any airflow at the floor registers. That is usually when most homeowners realize there is a problem and call for service. The best advice at that point is to turn the system off and let everything thaw out. There are many possible causes for icing. Here is a list of the most common:

Afghan capital on edge after attacks kill at least 44 people By LYNNE O’DONNELL The Associated Press
The Associated Press BEIRUT – Hundreds of Christian families have fled a central Syrian town as Islamic State fighters advance toward it, activists said Saturday, the anniversary of the U.S. beginning airstrikes against the extremists in Iraq. A U.S.-led coalition has conducted nearly 6,000 airstrikes against the Islamic State group, expanding its operations to target the extremists in Syria as well. But a year later, the Islamic State group remains able to launch attacks across its self-declared “caliphate” in both countries, despite some gains by Kurdish fighters and allied Iraqi forces. Meanwhile, searches con-
capital that killed 15 people and wounded more than 200, something unusual. Security forces say they have thwarted a number of attempts to bring large caches of explosives into the capital and at least one truck bomb exploded this year while attempting to enter the city limits. Friday’s two other attacks included a suicide bomber attacking recruits outside a police academy, killing at least 20 cadets and wounding 24, as well as an attack on a NATO military base near Kabul’s international airport. The NATO base attack killed one international service member and eight Afghan contractors, NATO spokesman Col. Brian
tinued in Egypt for a missing Croatian hostage that an Islamic State affiliate had threatened to kill. On Saturday, Osama Edward, the director of the Christian Assyrian Network for Human Rights in Syria, said “hundreds of families” have fled the Christian town of Sadad toward the government-held central city of Homs and the capital, Damascus. Syria-based activist Bebars al-Talawy said intense clashes took place Saturday near the central town of Qaryatain, which the Islamic State group captured on Thursday. Qaryatain is about 15 miles southeast of Sadad. Qaryatain lies in the middle of a triangle formed by the cities of Homs, Palmyra and Damascus.

ATLANTA – Donald Trump opened his mouth and found the door closed to him Saturday at a gathering of conservative activists. During the first Republican presidential debate, Fox News
moderator Megyn Kelly asked the candidate about his use of derogatory language toward women and whether it reflected the “temperament of a man we should elect as president.” Referring to Kelly’s questions, Trump told CNN in an interview
Friday, “There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.” After the interview aired, RedState Gathering’s Erick Erickson booted Trump from the event’s Saturday lineup. – Wire report

Tribus said. The Afghan Interior Ministry said the assault wounded 10 local security guards, while three insurgents were killed. NATO did not identify the nationality of the international trooper killed. The Taliban claimed the police academy attack and the NATO base assault, without mentioning the truck bombing. The insurgents often don’t claim attacks that kill women and children. U.S. and NATO forces ended their combat mission in Afghanistan at the end of last year. In the time since, Afghan security forces have been taking record casualties in their fight against insurgents across the country.

KABUL, Afghanistan – A series of attacks that killed at least 44 people and wounded over 300 in one day has shattered the relative calm of Afghanistan’s capital, even as some had hoped fledgling negotiations with the Taliban and the death of their figurehead could bring peace. The attacks Friday in Kabul marked the highest number of civilians killed and wounded in a single day, according to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, which began keeping its statistics in 2009. Even Saturday, as Afghans protested the violence and donated blood to victims, people remained on edge. “I feel danger even now, right now as we are talking,” said Kabul resident Mohammad Naeem. “And when I see the crowd of people I think maybe a suicide attack will take place with a car bomb or on a motorbike. Anything is possible.” Since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001 that ousted the Taliban, Kabul always has been the target of insurgent attacks. But Friday’s attack included a massive truck bombing targeting a residential area in the

YOUTH HOCKEY: CRYSTAL LAKE YELLOWJACKETS
Kenny McCudden, a long time area hockey coach who has been affiliated with the Crystal Lake Yellowjackets for decades, receives an honorary jersey from former students Kurt Kunkle (from left), Drew Bond, Michael Lupo, Phillip Collard, and Charlie Hirsch at a meetand-greet Saturday afternoon in Crystal Lake.
Coach honored at farewell event McCudden leaving to take position with NHL’s Blue Jackets By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com
Bill Oakes for Shaw Media
CRYSTAL LAKE – Speaking in front of a crowd at Park Place Banquet Facility, Kenny McCudden conceded that he would have been much more comfortable on an ice
rink in his usual sweat suit than in the golf clothes he had put on for his farewell celebration Saturday. But after the original plan for the event – a coach’s softball game and open skate at the Crystal Ice House – was scrapped, McCudden still was thankful to be honored by the Crystal Lake Yellowjackets. About 150 people, most of whom met McCudden during his 21-year stint as the skills and skating coach for the club, showed up to help see McCudden off before his first season as an assistant coach for the NHL’s
Columbus Blue Jackets. “It shows you what the community’s about and what the hockey’s club is about,” McCudden said. “This may be a little thing for them, but it’s huge for me.” It was one of many goodbyes this summer for McCudden, who wore a Blue Jackets polo as he spoke about his 27 years of coaching youth hockey and 16 years coaching for the Chicago Wolves. They’ve ranged from tearful goodbyes from 12-year-olds

BLACKHAWKS
Kane hires lawyer, hosts Stanley Cup The Associated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Blackhawks star Patrick Kane has hired an attorney and called off a public display of the Stanley Cup on Saturday because he is under police investigation over something that might have happened at his home last weekend. Without providing details, lawyer Paul Cambria confirmed in a text message Patrick Kane to The Associated Press that he has been hired to represent Kane. Cambria represented Kane in 2009, when he pleaded guilty to a noncriminal charge of disorderly conduct after being accused of assaulting a Buffalo cab driver over 20 cents. Cambria is a high-profile attorney who specializes in First Amendment issues. He has represented Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and music artists Marilyn Manson and DMX. The developments come a day after Hamburg police confirmed Kane is under investigation for an “incident
that allegedly occurred” at the player’s offseason home in suburban Buffalo. Hamburg Police Chief Gregory Wickett did not discuss the nature of the investigation. He said police are gathering information and awaiting forensic tests. In the meantime, Hawks spokesman Brandon Faber said Kane would spend the day with the Stanley Cup in Buffalo, but would do so in private with his family and friends. That’s a switch after Kane paraded the trophy around his hometown the previous two times he helped the Hawks win the title in 2010 and ’13. Kane canceled a night-time private party scheduled at a popular rooftop bar in downtown Buffalo. Just after 5 p.m., bar staff loaded bags of buns and numerous large tin bins of food into the back of a pickup truck and transported them to Kane’s home where the party took place instead. The pickup truck was allowed in through the front gates, and numerous cars were spotted parked on the lawn of the recently built home on the shore of Lake Erie.

CUBS 8, GIANTS 6
Kids not cracking under pressure Cubs look to sweep 4-game series Sunday By BRIAN SANDALOW For the Sun-Times
CHICAGO – This is the time when rookies are expected to show their inexperience. A blunder here or a brain cramp there could be anticipated from first-year players thrust into a playoff race. That isn’t happening to the Cubs right now, who beat the San Francisco Giants, 8-6, Saturday at Wrigley Field. Kyle Schwarber had two more hits and drove in what turned out to be a key run in the eighth inning. Kris Bryant hit his 15th homer in the third and beat out a double-play grounder to bring in
another run. Addison Russell once again played sparkling defense at shortstop and went 3 for 4 with two doubles and an RBI. Jorge Soler scored and extended his hitting streak to eight games. Not bad for youngsters who never have been in this position, and they helped the Cubs extend their lead over the Giants to 2½ games for Kyle the second Schwarber wild-card spot. “It’s exciting to me,” Russell said. “Whenever we’re in big positions like that, it kind of hypes me up and I think that I get more into the game. I think, as competitors, we all do that. It’s pretty cool being able to feel that atmosphere on the big-league level.”

Crystal Lake Central senior defensive lineman Romeo McKnight takes one of the many calls he received June 29 after his announcement at the school that he would attend Iowa.
@RomeoMcKnight23 The recruiting process spills over into social media By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com
R
omeo McKnight knew he had put forth a good performance at The Opening Regional Nike football combine in Chicago – that much was evident when he had made it to the final five players amongst defensive linemen at the camp. But the Crystal Lake Central senior didn’t really know how many eyes he had opened until he checked
his Twitter notifications May 3 after the camp. Recruiting reporters were spreading the news of McKnight’s big day. “Newcomer that’s been impressive,” said Scout’s Beth Long, attaching a video. “A guy who really impressed me at DE today in Chicago,” wrote 247Sports’ Tom Loy. “Looked great today,” raved scout Gaizka Crowley. McKnight retweeted them all. The recruiting world, it seemed, quickly had found out about @RomeoMcKnight23. “I got my first offer the day after,” McKnight said. “That next week, I had a bunch of coaches come. All those stories helped.” Scrolling from May 3 forward on McKnight’s Twitter feed, a pattern emerges. An offer. More tweets of praise. More offers. More praise. On June 29, McKnight picked Iowa out of the nine Division I offers he had received. Not even two months earlier, McKnight was considering playing at a junior college to keep his career going. His whirlwind recruiting process, culminating in that Big Ten offer, was spurred on by the ability of social media to spread his name quickly.

H
igh school football teams around the state begin practice Monday for the 2015 season, which opens Aug. 28. Northwest Herald assistant sports editor Tom Clegg and sports reporter Caitlin Swieca discuss:
Clegg: Caitlin, the Northwest Herald already has written a lot about the upcoming football season, and there are many more stories to come. What storyline has your attention leading up to the opening day of practice? Swieca: Being a new face around here myself, I’m kind of intrigued by some of the new faces around McHenry County – or, in some cases, old faces being thrust into new roles. You’ve got Jon McLaughlin, who turned the Crystal Lake Central program around last decade before leaving in 2009, returning to coach a young Tigers team. There’s Mike Maloney, who engineered a remarkable turnaround at Johnsburg last year, taking over at Marian Central in its second season in the East Suburban Catholic Conference. Dan DeBoeuf will fill Maloney’s old role, looking to keep up that success at Johnsburg, and newcomer Tommy Thompson will take the reins at Woodstock (although he’ll have former Marian coach Ed Brucker as his defensive coordinator). You’ve got to think all those guys will be trying to prove themselves in their new roles. Clegg: Those are all interesting stories, no doubt, but I’m curious to see how good Cary-Grove will be after losing so much talent from last year’s state runner-up in Class 7A. More specifically, I wonder how effective running back Tyler Pennington will be without standout offensive linemen Trevor Ruhland (Notre Dame) and Michael Gomez (Winona State). Something tells me there won’t be much of a drop-off. I think Pennington’s power and speed would allow him to put up decent numbers with you and me blocking for him. Besides, the Trojans are one of those teams that never seem to slip too much from one year to the next. Swieca: I know coaches never want to place too much weight on the first game of the season, but wow, that Week 1 matchup between Cary-Grove and Prairie Ridge is shaping up to be a doozy, isn’t it? We’ll get to see the 2015 version of the Trojans play some stiff competition right away, considering the Wolves are looking like the team to beat in the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division. And while Cary-Grove has long been the class of the Valley Division, I’m hearing good things about Huntley. Could this be the year the Red Raiders break through for their first FVC Valley title? Clegg: You would think this would be the year for Huntley. The Red Raiders return plenty of talent from a team that pushed C-G last season, including senior quarterback Anthony Binetti, who passed for 22 touchdowns and only seven interceptions as a junior. And he’s playing behind a powerful offensive line led by Dominic Swanson and Andrew Pertzborn. And since you asked, yes, I think this will be the year Huntley wins its first FVC Valley title. Who do you like as division champs? Swieca: I like Prairie Ridge in the Fox Division, considering all 11 of their projected offensive starters got significant time playing last year, and that offense scored 32 points a game last season. And I’ll go with Huntley in the Valley as well, although I know full well that Cary-Grove could make both our predictions look foolish a few months down the road. However it plays out, there’s plenty of storylines heading into the season, especially considering this is the last year of a two-division FVC. Clegg: Prairie Ridge is my pick, too. I think Crystal Lake Central will be good, but it’s going to be hard to stop the Wolves. I’m also very interested to see whether Johnsburg can win another Big Northern Conference East Division title after its coaching change. Maloney left the refrigerator well-stocked for DeBoeuf, so I’m expecting a repeat. And it should be interesting to see how Alden-Hebron does in its first season with permanent lights at home. I can’t wait for Aug. 28.
Northern Illinois University opened camp earlier this week. Several football athletes with ties to the area are looking to earn playing time, including Prairie Ridge graduate Sean Folliard. He played in all 14 games last season and started in the Huskies’ Mid-American Conference Championship victory over Bowling Green. The 6-foot-2, 231-pound linebacker recorded a career-high eight stops in that 51-17 victory. He talked over the phone recently about the differences between high school and college football, his transition from defensive back to linebacker and expectations for the Huskies this season.
It’s really a step up from high school football. We’re going
to get into a little bit harder than a high school, pushing our bodies a Sean Folliard little bit more than you would in high school. It’s just a different type of workout. With football, once you get to camp, it’s just a grind.
My first year was a little bit of a transition, really my first semester. I
didn’t think it was a huge change. The only difference is the speed of the game and the size of the people playing.
In college you have longer, more physical practices. Instead of
hitting a 180-pound kids, you’re hitting 250-pound linemen and running backs that are 200 pounds. It’s just a lot more physical. You put more wear on your body.
Once you get your body ready after a couple years, the transition isn’t there anymore. Now you’re just playing football again.
I’m just trying to help my team in any way I can. I feel fortunate to
have contributed as much as I did last year. This year, I’m hoping to step that up to starting position. There’s always a competition when you’re at Northern Illinois. I’m just excited to see what our defense can do this year. I just want to win football games.
I’m a linebacker. Back in high school I don’t know if I ever was a true safety. I was more of a line-
backer playing safety. We have a great linebacker coach and a great room at Northern right now. I wouldn’t want to be playing any other position.
Right now we’re just focusing on UNLV. I know they have a new
coaching staff there. I’m excited to see what they’re going to put on the field. • I’m Just Saying is a weekly feature with reporter Mike DeFabo. If you have suggestions, contact Mike at mdefabo@shawmedia.com or on Twitter @MikeDeFabo.

on the final day of his summer hockey school to a late Friday night dinner with professional players. And although the families in the crowd represented a small percentage of the thousands he has worked with over the years, McCudden noted his special fondness for the program. “This is my town,” said McCudden, who has lived in Crystal Lake since 1998. “This is a sliver, but a very, very important sliver. Huge. Some of my fondest years have been with the Crystal Lake program.” Yellowjackets Executive Director Keith Van Damme presented McCudden with a crystal trophy and a black and yellow hockey sweater. After touching on a variety of topics in his speech – including the fact he planned to be back in the Chicago area to put on youth hockey camps next summer – McCudden greeted and took photos with a long line of families who had come to see him off. “His demeanor with families, his demeanor with kids, it goes such a long way,” Yellowjackets Hockey Director Steve Martins said. “It’s meeting families in the locker room, meeting people in the lobby, dealing with a kid on and off the ice.”
Bill Oakes for the Northwest Herald
Kenny McCudden, a long time area hockey coach who has been affiliated with the Crystal Lake Yellowjackets for decades, jokes with Melissa and Michael Wasz, along with their boys Max and Mason. McCudden spoke to a crowd at a meet-and-greet, saying goodbye after accepting a position with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Jeff Lonosky of Round Lake, whose kids Maddie, Nick and Chris had worked with McCudden, echoed that sentiment. “They look up to him,” Lonosky said. “He’ll find the time to catch us at a Wolves game. He’ll turn around and say hi when we’re over there.” Yellowjackets goalies coach Chris Esposito, who met McCudden 15 years ago as a youth player, said he was thankful for how McCudden pushed him. “He’s got an amazing energy out there,” Esposito said. “It’s never a dull moment. Always
asking the kids how their day is going. Every day he’s bringing life lessons on the ice.” McCudden will make upcoming work trips to Boston and Arizona before the move to Columbus, Ohio, in September. Although he won’t be coaching at the youth level anymore, McCudden said he plans on using his free time to get involved in his new community, perhaps by working with hospitals or helping underprivileged kids. “I plan on making a splash, someway, somehow, doing something completely different,” McCudden said.

Quenneville in attendance at Arlington Park • KANE
Continued from page C1 A neighbor said someone posted a few signs – one of which she said read: “I wouldn’t kiss the Cup” – across the street from Kane’s home. Those signs, however, were taken down by evening, and only their taped remnants remained. Other events were canceled altogether once the police investigation became public Thursday.
Tentative plans called for Kane to bring the Cup to Buffalo Women’s and Children’s Hospital for what was supposed to be a private visit. He also was scheduled to bring the trophy to his favorite pizza place not far from where he grew up in south Buffalo. In Hamburg, several cars slowed or stopped to peek into the front yard of Kane’s home overlooking Lake Erie. A police officer was parked in a black and white SUV across the street. Kane, who wears No. 88,
picked Saturday to host the Cup because it is the eighth day of the eighth month. Also Saturday, Hawks coach Joel Quenneville attended Blackhawks Day at Arlington Park, but was not made available to the media. Quenneville signed autographs for about an hour. There were several Kane jerseys and shirts in the crowd at the racetrack, and fans stopped throughout the day to have their picture taken in front of a Kane banner at the facility.

BEARS TRAINING CAMP NOTEBOOK
‘D’ strong in scrimmage Cutler’s 50-yard scoring pass lone offensive highlight
PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME
Steelers great Bettis leads eclectic class By WILL GRAVES The Associated Press
By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com CHICAGO – The highlight for the Bears’ offense in Saturday’s intrasquad scrimmage at Soldier Field actually came in 7-on-7 drills before the live tackling began during the team’s annual “Family Fest.” Quarterback Jay Cutler completed a 50-plus-yard pass to receiver Alshon Jeffery for a touchdown, as Jeffery had beaten cornerback Tracy Porter downfield. After that, it was a lot of struggles for the offense to get going. The first-team offense began by facing the second-team defense, and then the second-team offense played the starting defense, and then the third-stringers matched up. Cutler completed 1 of 5 passes in his portion of the scrimmage, with the one completion coming in the form of a 12-yarder to receiver Eddie Royal, the longest play for the Bears in the scrimmage. The defense had a coverage sack on Cutler. He targeted Royal twice, receiver Marquess Wilson once and tight end Martellus Bennett twice. Jimmy Clausen was 1-of-3 throwing, and his only completion was a screen to running back Ka’Deem Carey, which was blown up in the backfield by cornerback Tim Jennings. The starting defense sacked Clausen twice. “We’re trying to breed some success. It gives you a chance to look at guys matched up,” coach John Fox said about having the starters go against the backups. The scrimmage lasted 36 plays, and Fox emphasized the team has “four preseason games to get a chance to look and evaluate and help us make decisions. Hopefully, getting better in all three phases.” For Fox, this was his first opportunity coaching on the home sideline in Soldier Field in front of Bears fans, 23,492 of whom showed out for the live practice.

It’s a smaller venue; the people are right on you, I’m really excited about it.” Strong runs: Running back Matt Forte was held out of the scrimmage (coach’s decision), so Jacquizz Rodgers got the carries with the starters. “He’s a great teammate, a fine young man,” Fox said of the former Falcon. “He is built low to the ground. He does have power to go along with speed and quickness.” Jeremy Langford had a seven-yard run. Daniel Thomas also had a run go for seven yards, and then got the first down on the next play. Senorise Perry had the longest
run of the day with a nine-yard gain. Shaky kicking: Robbie Gould wasn’t as automatic as fans at Soldier Field are accustomed to seeing when he kicked during Saturday’s practice. “It’s early,” Fox said. “We’ve got two snappers that are new to our kicker. We’re trying to evaluate those guys. It’s not an excuse, just a reality.” Square in the middle: Defensive lineman Eddie Goldman got some run with the starting defense, and Fox said the second-round pick has had a “good camp so far.” “He’s a big, square body. That’s why we drafted him where we did,” Fox said. Quick hits: OT Michael Ola (knee) and LB Pernell McPhee (coach’s decision) did not participate in the scrimmage. Carey (shoulder) and OT Tayo Fabuluje (asthma, allergies) were practicing. … QB Shane Carden completed 2-of-4 passes and was strip-sacked by rookie OLB Kyle Woestmann. … The Bears are off Sunday before returning Monday and Tuesday to Bourbonnais.
CANTON, Ohio – The humbled men in gold jackets entering football immortality were unmistakable. So was the endless sea of twirling yellow Terrible Towels there to greet them and the outpouring of compassion for the legend who wasn’t there. Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis headlined the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2015 on Saturday night, the sixth-leading rusher in NFL history turning the annual enshrinement ceremony into a de facto pep rally. Bettis grabbed one of the ubiquitous towels synonymous Jerome Bettis with the franchise at the beginning of his speech and led a chant of “Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go” as the capacity crowd at Tom Benson Stadium – most of them clad in some variation of black-and-yellow – roared in support of the player who served as the physical embodiment of the team he helped lead to a fifth Super Bowl title in 2006. “I really thought the Bus’ last stop was in Detroit at Super Bowl XL,” Bettis said. “But now I know the Bus will always and forever run in Canton, Ohio.” The euphoria surrounding Bettis’ induction proved fitting on a night most of the eight-member class saw their lengthy wait to join football’s most exclusive club come to an end. Only linebacker Junior Seau was elected in his first year on the ballot. The 12-time Pro Bowler’s induction, however, proved bittersweet, coming more than three years after he took his own life. His death and the complex fallout from it – Seau’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the NFL – set the backdrop for the evening’s most touching moment. Hall of Fame rules about players awarded posthumously prevented Seau’s daughter from giving a full speech on her father’s behalf. Instead she spoke at length during an extend-
ed video tribute, calling her dad “a perfect match for football: both stubborn, both relentless, competitive and hard-hitting.” Those hard hits are at the center of the family’s legal battle with the league, but Sydney Seau used the stage to instead pay homage to his spirit. She fought back tears when his bronze bust was unveiled and told him “congratulations, you made it” as images of Seau in his prime flashed on the video screen. It was the emotional high point of a night that flipped between laughter and tears and back again. Defensive end Charles Haley cracked jokes between heartfelt disclosures of his battle with depression. Minnesota Vikings center Mick Tingelhoff didn’t say a word, instead letting Hall of Fame teammate Fran Tarkenton speak for him shortly after Tingelhoff’s bust was unveiled. Kansas City guard Will Shields spoke with the same thoughtfulness that made him one of the best linemen of his generation during a standout career with the Chiefs. Contributors Bill Polian and Ron Wolf paid their respects to the icons who paved the way for their success. Receiver Tim Brown led chants of “Raiders! Rai-ders!” more than a decade after the last of his 1,094 receptions. Haley, the only player in NFL history with five Super Bowl rings, gave a rousing, freewheeling speech that included a good-natured jabs at everyone from former San Francisco owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. DeBartolo called the decision to trade Haley to Dallas in 1992 his biggest mistake during his tenure. Haley didn’t disagree, and he also made sure to honor the men who signed his paychecks, including a nod to the occasionally bombastic Jones, who organized a bone marrow drive when Haley’s daughter Brianna was diagnosed with leukemia. Haley retired after the 1999 season with 100½ sacks and a fistful of championships. Yet he spent the better part of a decade watching former teammates get the call while his phone remained silent.

Samardzija struggles again The ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For a second straight start, White Sox right-hander Jeff Samardzija did not make it out of the fifth inning. Samardzija (8-6) was pulled with two outs in the four-run inning. He gave up seven runs on six hits, two walks and a hit-batter, in a 7-6 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night. In his past two starts, losses to the Royals and New York Yankees, Samardzija has allowed 16 runs and 13 hits in nine-plus innings, escalating his ERA from 3.94 to 4.62. “You play two good teams, and if you’re not on your
game, it’s going to come back to get you,” Samardzija said. “It doesn’t change nothing. You’ve got five days and you start again, so we’ll go back to work and be ready next time.” Salvador Perez and Kendrys Morales each drove in two Jeff Samardzija runs for the Royals, who overcame Jose Abreu’s two home runs for the win. Samardzija is 0-5 in five career appearances against the Royals, including 0-3 this season. In a three-run fourth, Sa-
mardzija had Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain down in the count 0-2 before walking both to load the bases with none out. “Two walks kill you, especially against a team like this,” Samardzija said. “You’ve got to keep those runners off the base, and they battled. Walks come back to haunt you all the time. When you get six runs, you should win those games, so our offense has been doing great, playing great defense. I need to go out and be a little better than what I’ve done the last couple times, and we will for sure, so you’ve got to go back to work, put it behind you.” Perez, who had been in a
6-for-32 skid, had a two-out single in the fourth. Morales and Perez picked up back-toback run-producing doubles with two out in the fifth. Jarrod Dyson led off the inning with a triple and scored on Mike Moustakas’ sacrifice fly. Abreu homered to lead off the fourth and sixth innings for his fifth multi-homer game. “It’s been tough for us to try to combine the defense with the pitching with the offense,” Abreu said through an interpreter. “We have to try hard every day. This is a long season, and if you want to win, you have to be consistent in all the areas.”
Montero: Schwarber, Russell have been ‘amazing’ • CUBS
Continued from page C1 Miguel Montero, who had an RBI single in his first start since suffering a left thumb sprain July 11, is impressed. “They’ve been amazing. They’ve been doing a great job,” Montero said. “All around, they’re pretty pro.” This weekend’s atmosphere at Wrigley Field has been different than anything the young players have experienced. The time for patience and development is gone and games matter now as a team and its fans start to sense something about this season. Four months in – and after winning the first three against the Giants – those rookies are showing they can be keys to a team in playoff position. “I don’t want them to think about anything other than just play,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.
the numbers and the hits and stuff, but I think he brings more of a presence,” Bryant said. “I think that’s more important than any home run or double that you can hit on the field. I think having his name in the lineup is extremely important to us and, obviously, he’s been a key role in our success recently. But I wouldn’t expect anything else from him. “The guy’s a freak of nature and it’s been fun watching him play.” The Cubs clearly are having fun as a group.

Players market themselves via social media Continued from page C1 Twitter can only help so much – no player with a D-III level of talent, for example, can tweet his way to a scholarship from Alabama – but it’s become a completely free way for kids to get their names out there. Clint Cosgrove, a former college coach and now the director of Midwest scouting for National Preps, said a social media presence is a must for high school football players with aspirations to play at the next level. “If the kid’s a relatively unknown and he puts out there, ‘Hey, I went to this school’s camp today, they offered me,’ ” Cosgrove said, “Well, all of a sudden, other coaches who didn’t know about him, they’re going see that and start looking into him, maybe watching his film, calling his coach. It is definitely a way to gain momentum and steam.”
GAINING EXPOSURE
McKnight’s recruitment provided a dramatic example, but a glance at the profile of any college football hopeful shows how high schoolers market themselves, 140 characters at a time. Players tweet out photos of themselves on visits to colleges, raving about what a good time they had at the camps they attended. They retweet any stories about them or their teammates. They tweet motivational phrases, workout details or highlight videos. Just this spring, McKnight’s sophomore teammate Wyatt Blake got on Twitter, solely for recruiting purposes. “I did because everyone else was getting on it, and I mean, everyone has a Twitter who’s getting recruited,” Blake said. “If you don’t have a Twitter, you’re kind of behind. It was just the next step.” But Blake notes he keeps a personal policy, based on advice from his mom, that he won’t put anything on social media if he wouldn’t say it to his grandmother. Indeed, for all its benefits, Twitter can be dangerous if players don’t think before they tweet. In 2012, top-40 national recruit Yuri Wright became a cautionary tale when he was expelled from New Jersey’s Don Bosco Prep and had his scholarship offer from Michigan revoked because of a series of sexually explicit tweets, according to ESPN.
That was an extreme situation, but the narrative comes up often. Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said last month he’s stopped recruiting players based on Twitter nicknames or pictures, another reminder that everything recruits put on social media is public information.
Streveler went through the entire recruiting process social media-free. To be fair, Streveler committed to Minnesota as soon as it offered him before his senior year at Marian Central, meaning he didn’t have much back and forth with coaches. But his Tweet announcing his commitment – tagged with ANOTHER DUTY FOR COACHES #speechless #dreamcometrue Cosgrove, who is paid by – got only 13 favorites from more than 160 colleges to other users, a number that scout players, has seen firstlooks miniscule in 2015.

ACCOUNTING Charles Caufield
ACA effect on small businesses Once again, small business is the goat. As much as politicians profess how the United States economic structure continues to provide ample opportunities for small business to succeed and grow, the lawmakers construct stumbling blocks. There are various measurements that one might use to define small business, including amount of property, sales volume or the number of full-time employees. Under one particular governmental measure, the point at which the employer moves beyond small business is 50 full-time employees. Certainly, 50 employees is a relatively small number compared to those publicly traded companies with which we are so familiar. A business managing and accounting for up to 50 individuals requires considerable effort and cost. Why is this distinction between small and not small business so important? The reason for the concern is small businesses, under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), may no longer qualify and satisfy – as of June 30 – ACA health coverage requirements by offering their employees health coverage constituting an employer payment plan. This type of plan ordinarily would pay or reimburse employees for individual premiums, Medicare Part B or Part D premiums. The penalty for not meeting the ACA requirements is $100 per employee per day. With only two employees in violation, the penalty would be $73,000 per year. We would like to assume all small business at this point have been made aware of the risk and have taken appropriate steps to circumvent this penalty. But if not, then how do we avoid this result? The employer would need to acquire ACA approved health plans, or plans acquired through Small Business Health Option Program. Another possibility is to have an individual Health Savings Account, in which the employee or employer can make tax favored contributions. There are some limitations; a major one being that the employee be covered by a high deductible health plan. An alternative would be to reimburse the employee and call it taxable wages. There goes a long established fringe benefit that even small businesses enjoyed. The final alternative would be for the small business employer and their employee to do nothing. The individual employee without minimum essential health care coverage is subject to a minimum penalty of $95 in 2014, $325 in 2015, $695 in 2016 and an inflation adjusted amount after that. With the aggressive penalty structure, the small business employer and employee seemingly will have to resort to the health care coverage choices under the ACA, at least until Congress speaks again. There is currently bipartisan legislation before Congress to make once again the employer payment plan, or the Health Reimbursement Arrangement, an acceptable eligible plan for the small business. This would go a long way to restoring the idea that small business is treasured in the United States. Stay tuned.

Visit McHenry County Executive Director Jaki Berggren discusses some of the many lures of the county outside of the tourism group’s new visitor center at the corner of Main Street and Route 47 in Huntley. New statewide figures show the tourism industry in Illinois has seen four straight years of growth.
Tourism in McHenry County, Illinois grows for 4th year Gains reinforce broader economic recovery, state tourism director says By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com When Richardson Farms transformed its 33acre corn maze in Spring Grove into a tribute to the Chicago Blackhawks’ third Stanley Cup in six years, the local agritourism attraction created more than just social media buzz. The Blackhawks corn maze – set to open to visitors Aug. 29 – also created opportunity for Visit McHenry County, the county’s tourism and convention bureau. The tweets and status updates that followed the regional news reports about Richardson Farms’ latest creation presented a selling point for a county known for its farms, farmers markets, apple orchards and agritourism. When businesses like Richardson Farms make news for its attractions, Visit McHenry County has the responsibility to market the popularity and ensure visitors from the Chicago area and beyond know the reasons to visit the county, Executive Director Jaki Berggren said. “Every year, our organization does more and more with advertising. We do more with what makes sense and less with what doesn’t,” she said. “With the longevity of our organization ... we are starting to see the benefits.” In the years after Visit McHenry County started in 2004, tourism in the county continues to grow. More visitors each year have spent their money on dining, lodging, transportation, retail, entertainment and recreation since the economic recession in the late 2000s – a sign that suggests more consumers are abandoning staycations and venturing to events and attractions within the region. From 2013 to last year, the amount people spent while traveling through or visiting the county increased 5.8 percent to $226.91 million total, according to recently released figures from the Illinois Office of Tourism. The year-over-year increase greatly outpaced tourism gains in the county from 2012 to 2013, when visitors’ travel expenditures increased 0.7 percent. Travel expenditures cover anything from transportation to retail, dining, entertainment and recreation. Since 2010, the amount visitors spent in the county has increased 17.8 percent. Four years of

Fairgoers last week attend opening night of the McHenry County Fair in Woodstock. The county fair is an annual attraction in McHenry County. consecutive tourism growth wipes out the contraction that happened during the height of the recession. From 2008 to 2009, visitors’ travel expenditures in the county dropped 10.2 percent to $178.61 million total, according to data from the Chicago and Beyond Regional Tourism Office. Berggren credited the resurgence in local tourism to Visit McHenry County’s growing marketing efforts and presence within the county along with a recovering economy. A first-of-its-kind digital marketing campaign last fall drew 18,000 clicks and generated 6.3 million impressions on Visit McHenry County’s website, a one-stop shop for local tourism activities, she said. The bureau earlier this year also opened its first-ever visitor center at the corner of Main Street and Route 47 in downtown Huntley.
McHenry County tourism by the numbers • In 2004: $159.13 million travelers spent on lodging, food, entertainment, recreation and transportation • In 2005: $171.68 million spent by local tourists • In 2006: $183.02 million spent • In 2007: $191.28 million spent • In 2008: $198.93 million spent • In 2009: $178.61 million spent • In 2010: $192.59 million spent • In 2011: $205.59 million spent • In 2012: $212.89 million spent • In 2013: $214.39 million spent • In 2014: $226.91 million spent • Since recession in 2009, local tourism spending has increased 27 percent.

Supplemental income bridges financial gaps Dear Dave,
My wife and I are thinking about selling our home. I recently was let go from the military due to downsizing, and I’ve begun a job in real estate but things are starting slowly. My wife brings home about $3,500 a month as a teacher, and the only debt we have is our house payment of $1,616 a month. I was given a $35,000 severance package, but we need some advice to help bridge the financial gap. Any ideas? – Erik
Dear Erik,
Having little or no income is a lot harder than a variable income situation. Your wife is bringing home good money but at the moment, your house payment is almost half that
DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey amount. Are there some things you can do on the side while you’re getting your real estate business going that will create income? If you could make even $1,000 to $2,000 a month, it would change the picture entirely. You guys would be able to keep your home and have a little breathing room while you get your real estate career off the ground. Looking at it from a long-term perspective, if you’re selling a bunch of houses a year or two from now, you’re in the clear. You could easily stay in the house.
But if you don’t find extra income while you build your business, if you’re not willing to work extra hard and sacrifice in the meantime – even if it means just delivering pizzas – then you probably need to sell the house. It takes about six to nine months to start making a living in the residential real estate business. So look at it this way: the more houses you sell, the less time you spend delivering pizzas. All this really hinges on is how badly you want a career in real estate and how much you guys want to keep your home. If you want it enough, you’ll do what it takes to get there. And for the time being, that’s going to mean supplementing your income with something on the side
while you grow your real estate business. – Dave
Dear Dave,
We’ve made an offer on a house we really like through a first-time buyers program. Now, after looking over our budget and debts again, my wife and I are having second thoughts. We haven’t signed or turned in any paperwork yet. What do you think we should do? – Craig
Dear Craig,
I wouldn’t go through with the deal. I advise people to be debt-free before buying a home because you want a home to be a blessing, not a curse. Home ownership when you’re broke is never a good idea. And basically, that’s the situation
you’re describing. You have debt, and you’re trying to squeak into something with a first-time buyers plan. The translation? You have no money. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. That’s Murphy’s Law, and he’ll move into your spare bedroom along with his three cousins – broke, desperate and stupid. Get your debts paid off, build up an emergency fund and save up a good down payment before buying a home. I know that’s not the popular answer, but it’s the smart one. – Dave

Consumer borrowing hits record in June
FACES & PLACES
Americans borrow $3.42 trillion The American economy grew at an annual rate of 0.6 percent from January to March and 2.3 percent from April through June. Economists expect growth to pick up to about a 3 percent pace the second half of the year. Consumers are drawing confidence from an improving job market. On Friday, the Labor Department said employers added 215,000 jobs in July and unemployment remained at a seven-year low 5.3 percent. Over the past year, consumer borrowing is up 6.5 percent. Borrowing rose 7.7 percent in the student and auto loan category and 3.5 percent in the credit card category. During and after the 20072009 Great Recession, Americans scaled back their borrowing. Consumer borrowing hit bottom at less than $2.52 trillion in July 2010 and has been climbing more or less steadily ever since.

WASHINGTON – U.S. consumer borrowing hit another record in June, good news for the American economy. Americans piled on another $20.7 billion in debt in June, bringing total consumer borrowing to a record $3.42 trillion, the Federal Reserve reported late last week. In June, borrowing in the category that includes auto and student loans rose by $15.2 billion. Borrowing in the category that includes credit cards rose by $5.5 billion. The Fed’s monthly report on credit does not cover home mortgages or other loans secured by real estate such as home equity loans Economists expect consumers to borrow and spend more the rest of the year. That would boost growth in a country where consumer spending accounts for nearly 70 percent of economic activity.

BUSINESS 3
Changes could come to Fiesta Days in McHenry High risk, high reward – that’s Fiesta Days. As McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce’s greatest fundraiser, Fiesta Days funds many of our business activities during the year and keeps costs low for members to participate in the chamber. The McHenry chamber is a great incubator of growing small businesses that become larger businesses, employing local folks. What better place can one grow from shared ideas, networking activities and free marketing? The chamber always has enjoyed an advantage, helping small businesses for free or at a low cost largely because of Fiesta Days. Is a business incubator good for a community? Think about another small business that started in a garage
CHAMBER NEWS Kay Rial Bates – Apple. It started with one and grew to 50,000 employees. Isn’t that good for a local economy? For 10 years, Fiesta Days has been very profitable for the chamber, and its members have been rewarded. Yet, this year’s festival was unsuccessful primarily because a failed act and four days of events that were rained out. Other variables continue to affect Fiesta Days, including increased competition from other local festivals and competitors’ longer hours and earlier start dates. Some activities are unprofitable.
Local bands are over saturated in the area. Community and chamber resources are stretched, as the costs of an outside festival increase. The chamber is a business, and Fiesta Days needs to be run as a business. All activities are analyzed as to the benefit provided to the community and the chamber in helping local businesses. I am recommending that my board of directors establish a task force to review past and present Fiesta Days along with changing forces within and outside our control. Our goal will be to ensure Fiesta Days remains a beloved tradition into the future. I’m optimistic the chamber’s board, who are experts
in their fields, can look closely at Fiesta Days and keep beloved events while tweaking or eliminating others not desirable to the community and the chamber’s future. Let’s bring this festival home to other organizational leaders. Sometimes, we all face forces beyond or within our control. Yet, we need to use this knowledge to invigorate new vision. Remember Apple’s Lisa Computer and how Steve Jobs initially was fired from the company he created? He wasn’t defeated (enter Pixar). Look at your numbers, analyze what worked and what did not work. Bring in trusted people to work with you and cut out your personal emotion. Determine what can be saved and what should be
eliminated. What will it cost to reboot? How can you gain a revenue stream to move forward? Are you willing to make the time and financial sacrifice to achieve success? You are an entrepreneur, meaning you are willing to analyze the risk and deal with failure and reward. You are also the lifeblood of a community. Going forward, the chamber has a busy August ahead. The McHenry Savings Bank celebrates its 60th anniversary on Aug. 11. Be sure to register for the anniversary on the McHenry Savings Bank’s Facebook page. You could win a smartphone watch. Men of Monday Night Kick Off Mixer happens Aug. 18 at Halftime Bar and Grill, 2405 W. Johnsburg Road, Johns-
burg. Raffle book owners have a chance to win $250. The Young Professional meeting starts at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 12 at Twisted Moose, 2616 Schaid Court, McHenry. A Networking for Newbies session led by the best networker I know – Victoria Cook – lasts from 9:30 until 11 a.m. Aug. 21. Save the date for the chamber’s River Road Rally on Oct. 3. The event is ideal for those looking for a fun activity to do with the family, as well as chamber members who are interested in networking with multiple business owners.

Tourism spending up since late 2000s economic recession • TOURISM
Continued from page D1 The location put Visit McHenry County near Interstate 90, the only expressway that leads travelers into the county. “It’s encouraging to see that tourism continues to grow, and I do attribute that to the marketing efforts of not just little McHenry County but also the state and all the tourism convention bureaus doing what we do everyday to help draw people to the state of Illinois,” Berggren said. Officials from the Illinois Office of Tourism in late July wrapped up a four-day tour around the state where they touted four consecutive years of statewide growth in the tourism industry. The industry statewide in 2014 hosted more than 109.4 million visitors (a 3.5 percent increase from 2013) and generated more than $36.3 billion in visitors’ travel expenditures, a 5.1 percent increase from the following year, state figures show. Like the county, tourism statewide dropped significantly during the economic recession in 2008 and 2009 before increasing each year in the new decade. In that one-year span, travel expenditures decreased 12.14 percent, while the number of domestic visitors into Illinois dropped nearly 8.5 percent. Heightened tourism activity often is the first indicator of a broader economic recovery, said Cory Jobe, the Illinois Office of Tourism director. The statewide tourism office tries to meet the increasing demand through new marketing efforts, including an upcoming campaign that showcases artists, brewers, restaurateurs and other individuals dedicated to their craft as part of an effort to reshape perceptions about Illinois, he said. “As consumers show interest in travel experiences,
Budget impasse causing uncertainty Despite consistent industry growth over the last four years, McHenry County tourism officials’ ability to market county attractions and destinations faces uncertainty with the budget impasse in Springfield. Nearly half of Visit McHenry County’s budget comes from state hotel/motel occupancy taxes, Executive Director Jaki Berggren said. Although the tourism bureau received all its state funds last budget year, officials are bracing for potential cuts this year, as Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic legislative leaders try to negotiate a 2015-16 budget compromise. Visit McHenry County already has limited new marketing campaigns and restricted travel to essential trade shows and conferences, Berggren said. “Moving forward into our budget planning, we are doing our best to operate on as low of a budget as we can,” she said.
– Stephen Di Benedetto
we’ve been working to give them more and more reasons to visit Illinois,” Jobe said. “In the past several years, a constant flow of new attractions, hotels and points of interest have become available to travelers as well. That, pared with our marketing efforts both domestically and abroad, have combined to create the positive visitor arrivals and spending trends we are celebrating now.”

Adult coloring books become surprise best sellers for publishers The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Adult coloring books are giving Harper Lee a run for the money on best-seller lists this summer. Dover Publications has sold more than 3 million adult coloring books with titles such as “Flower Fashion Fantasies.” Quarto Publishing will have 1.3 million in print this year ranging from mandalas to fairies. “Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt,” by one of the genre’s most popular illustrators, Johanna Basford, remains a top seller on Amazon two years after its initial publication. In fact, adult coloring books occupied as many as eight of the top 20 slots in a spotcheck of Amazon’s best-seller list recently, including “Creative Cats” and “Adult Coloring Book: Stress Relieving Patterns.” “We cannot print them fast enough,” said Amy Yodanis, Quarto’s head of marketing. “We are getting orders of 60,000 at one time from some of our biggest retailers.” There are coloring clubs, coloring contests and a frenzy of coloring posts on social media. “People are stressed and anxious all the time,” said Jeannine Dillon, Quarto’s publisher. “Coloring is a way to calm down and unwind at the end of the day.” But art therapy is not the only reason coloring has taken off. As hobbies go, coloring books are incredibly simple: portable, easy to pick up and put down, old-school analog pursuits with no batteries or messages, no calorie-counting, skill-building, classes or scores. And the finished product is perfect for minimalists. Pottery and paintings demand shelf and wall space; knitted scarves cry out to be worn or bestowed as gifts. But a colored-in page takes up almost no space at all (unless you frame it).
EnvironmentTip Instead of plastic one more time
According to the EPA, Americans throw out more than 12 million tons of textiles each year. It all ends up in landfills, decomposing and slowly releasing methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Better to send discards to a textile recycler that will turn them into useful stuff such as insulation and furniture stuffing; 2.3 million tons are recycled annually, which is the equivalent of removing 340,000 cars from
the road. This burgeoning industry is primarily the purview of for-profit companies such as USAgain, which has collection bins in 19 states, including in McHenry County. Communities that have ditched plastic as part of a Bring Your Own Bag campaign have been Algonquin and Crystal Lake. Spring Grove is participating throughout August, and Cary is scheduled to ditch paper and plastic in September. Other communities considering joining the campaign are Huntley,
Woodstock and Fox River Grove. But you don’t have to wait for a campaign to start bringing reusable bags on shopping trips; start anytime, and recruit your favorite old shirts to help out. Cut an old but usable shirt into the shape of a bag, sewed along the edges, and then make slits in the fabric. More detailed instructions can be found at sierraclub.org. The result is a handy mesh produce bag. Use it at the farmers market and the grocery store for produce instead of
plastic.

Women find outlets in nontraditional hobbies
I
By OLIVIA MORRISSEY
editorial@nwherald.com
f not for the pragmatic perspective afforded by her finance professional background, Janice Seiller might never have learned to ride a motorcycle. While out riding with a friend more than five years ago, a thought suddenly occurred to Seiller: If something should happen to her companion in that very moment, she would be stranded. She had no idea how to operate a half-ton motorcycle, and that needed to change. So Seiller, a Cary resident, practiced and studied, got her motorcycle license from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and bought a motorcycle of her own. Motorcycling is one of many traditionally male-dominated hobbies where women are finding they have a place, and a passion. • Continued on page 6

“As adults, we don’t have play groups or club sports; we don’t have a lot of opportunities to discover ourselves. No matter what your roles are now – soccer mom, wife, PTO volunteer – it is important to have something that identifies who you are in your soul.” – Red Hawk Riders Director Carol Skala • Continued from page 5
Red Hawk Riders
It was by accident that she discovered the North Eastern Illinois Red Hawk Riders, an all-female group of motorcycle riders who ride for an appreciation of the sport and to support each other as they learn. The Red Hawk Riders are a chapter of Women on Wheels, a national organization that bases its philosophy on the same principles. “I was at the 2009 International Motorcycle Show at [the] Rosemont [Donald E. Stephens] Convention Center, and I lost my bracelet,” Seiller said. “I went to [Red Hawk Riders’] booth to ask if anyone had turned it in there. They didn’t have my bracelet, but they encouraged me to check out their organization and go on a ride with them.” That was six years ago, and Seiller is now the assistant director of the group. She and Director Carol Skala schedule group rides, lead rides and help plan rides with other area groups. Although they are the official leaders of the group, all members are encouraged to host rides and help mentor new riders. The group of 12 women from across McHenry County gets together once a month for a meeting and ride, weather permitting. The unofficial season of motorcycling begins in April and ends in October, and members will start their engines in rain or shine. The group maintains a Facebook page and a MeetUp page to help members connect with other area motorcycling groups and organize impromptu rides. The Red Hawk Riders is a beginner-friendly group and supports members through every stage of the learning process because, as Seiller said, “We’ve all been there.” Barbara O’Brien of McHenry has been riding motorcycles for seven years and joined the Red Hawk Riders in February when she was looking for a group that rode often and still met for lunch or dinner during the winter months when freezing

She initially was drawn in by the group’s name because of her red hair, but she knew she was in the right place when she got to know her fellow riders. “When we are on a ride, we all take care of each other and no one is ever left behind for any reason. Our more seasoned riders teach the newbies things they need to know to ride in a group, and we all feel safe with each other,” O’Brien said. “I feel blessed to have found Red Hawk Riders, and because of the confidence they instilled in me, I have put more miles on my bike this year than any other year.” Joan Ortmann, a fellow rider from South Elgin, echoes this sentiment. “It’s a great feeling to be outdoors enjoying riding a motorcycle. When you are in a group, you feel the excitement of the ride and know you are with others who enjoy the same experience,” she said. The open road brings the women together, but it also allows for introspection. “When we’re riding, thinking about family, the kids, all the drama in my head, it goes away. I can’t think about anything else, I have to focus,” Seiller said. “All we have is the wind in our ears, and that can be a little scary for some people. But it’s something we accept every time we ride.” Skala calls this phenomenon “wind therapy,” and said it can be a self-affirming experience that extends beyond riding a
motorcycle. “As adults, we don’t have play groups or club sports; we don’t have a lot of opportunities to discover ourselves,” she said. “No matter what your roles are now – soccer mom, wife, PTO volunteer – it is important to have something that identifies who you are in your soul.”
California Special
Maryann Urban has a slightly different kind of wind therapy, one that whistles through the pristine windows of a vintage automobile saved from disrepair. In addition to her beloved three basset hounds and two cats, Urban has rescued a ’68 Mustang GT California Special. Urban bought the metallic, dark blue (officially, “presidential blue”) Mustang four years ago. Although few repairs were needed, the car is undergoing some restoration to maintain parts, including the unopened, original engine, a rarity in most vintage cars. Urban is only the second owner of the car, which was bought in California in the late ’60s by a U.S. Navy officer. He was transferred to the Great Lakes area and brought his car with him. When Urban’s mechanic friend found the car at a restoration garage four years ago, she jumped at the chance to have it. “I’ve always loved Mustangs, and my husband and I are both interested in restoring vintage cars,” she said. “When we had the means to buy ones of our
own, we did. He drives a ’69 Camaro, and I have my baby. She’s a beauty.” Even Urban’s cat, Boo, loves to go along for a ride. He often snoozes on the console and lets Urban pet him as she drives. His laid-back attitude has won him quite a fan following, Urban said, especially at car shows. At a recent show, Urban’s car won a trophy. When she went to collect her prize, the judges requested she bring Boo with her so they could meet the sleepy feline. He now is known as “Cruisin’ Boo.” Urban’s involvement in the Northern Illinois Street Rod Association also is a family affair. Both Urban and her husband, Jim, are officers of the 22-member association. Urban was the first woman in the history of the association to apply for membership, and three more women now hold memberships. “At first, not everyone was sure I knew much about cars,” Urban said. “Now they say, ‘You know what? You know more about cars than most of the men do.’ They respect me more now.” Established in 1968, the Northern Illinois Street Rod Association promotes the appreciation of vintage cars and informs the public about a shared love of these performance automobiles through county events and cruise nights. Vice President Bob Stock said the nonprofit group is open to all members, makes and models. “As long as you have a car with an American engine and you attend three of our events, you can apply to be a member of our group,” he said. “We encourage anyone to join our group, even if your car just rolled off the lot yesterday.” With Boo by her side, Urban said, she will continue to put the pedal to the metal of her untraditional pastime.

Women motorcyclists peruse the goodies at Anderson’s Candy Shop during the third annual Chocolate Ride, hosted by the Red Hawk Riders. High School teacher, hung up her safety goggles in favor of something a bit less conventional: a welding helmet. Although she since has chosen to pursue other artistic endeavors such as art appreciation and drawing over welding, Liles recalls her decision to pick up a MIG welder. “My husband used to be a welder, and I decided to take an artistic welding class at McHenry County College with a friend for fun,” Liles said. “She ended up hating it, and I loved it. I took to it right away.” Dori Sullens, director of continuing education, said seven women in the past three
years have completed the metal art sculpture class. The class is offered as instructors’ schedules allow, and will most likely return in the spring of 2016. The class has attracted an even mix of men and women and is a popular course every semester it is offered. Beginning welders also can choose to take welding bootcamp, advanced welding and welding certification courses. “Welding is a male-dominated field, so female welders can have a unique advantage,” Sullens said. “Instructors have told me that women are often better welders than men because of their naturally more advanced fine motor skills.”
Liles quickly learned new welding techniques and how to create small sculptures. She tried to create metal art with her husband’s old stick welder but found it difficult to use. She soon invested in an updated welder as her love of the hobby grew. With an eye-shielding metal helmet and heat-resistant gloves, Liles put her skills to the test. She used a pole barn on her property as a studio and made sculptures of varying styles using pieces of metal siding. She has made several small sculptures; her favorite creation is a collection of twiggy cattails. After moving from her large house to a smaller duplex, Liles
realized she couldn’t find the space for her newfound hobby. “Really, the only reason I stopped welding is because I could no longer find a place for my work,” Liles said. “Family members stopped wanting them as gifts, and I said to myself, ‘Perhaps this isn’t the most practical hobby.’ ” These days, Liles fills her time with international travel, family and friends, and more art classes at MCC. Still, she says her welding helmet may not be stored away for good. “You never know, I might pick it back up again,” Liles said. “All I need is the space. I really, really loved it.”

Sharing house with ex-wife is bad news for date Dear Abby: I am recently divorced. For financial reasons, as well as to be nice, I have allowed my ex-wife, “Cathy,” and her daughter to live in our home with me and my kids. Cathy has her own bedroom and bathroom. The subject of my living arrangements came up recently while I was on a date, and the woman immediately freaked out. She angrily informed me I should have told her my ex-wife was living with me when we started talking. I felt it was something that could wait, at least past the first date. Despite the fact we were married, Cathy and I are nothing more than roommates now. When is it too late in a new relationship to divulge this arrangement? – John In Kentucky Dear John: You did nothing wrong. It is not unheard of for divorced
couples to continue living together for financial reasons or to assist in co-parenting. If you told the woman about your living arrangement before becoming intimate with her, she had no reason to freak out. Dear Abby: I’m a 54-year-old woman with three adult children and three grandchildren. I lost my mother 34 years ago, and my baby sister died 20 years ago. My dad is 84 and lives alone. Although he was a good provider, he was abusive toward my mother and occasionally toward me and my siblings. Dad and my younger brother do not communicate, period. However, my older sister is a daddy’s girl. I have been married three times, and each man was in some way abusive – physically, mentally or both. When I reached out to my dad for
help, he would respond by telling me, “You’re just like your mother, which is why I can’t stand being around you sometimes. I wasn’t responsible for her feelings, and I’m not responsible for yours.” I live in a three-bedroom bungalow, and I tried to help relocate Dad closer. He refused, saying, “If I don’t hear from you tomorrow or you die, I’ll be OK. I was when your mother died, and I will be after you.” He has said that and worse to me throughout my life, and I’m afraid to continue contact with him for fear one day his words will break my spirit. When I have shared this with family, I’ve been told, “He’s all the father you have,” or, “You have to pray for him.” Please help me. I don’t want to pray for him – I want to stay far away
from him. – Conflicted In Ohio Dear Conflicted: If you need my permission to move on and have a happy life, you have it, and no one should try to make you feel guilty for your decision. Your father has done enough damage to your soul. You do not have to allow him to hurt or disappoint you again. Wanting to keep your distance from an abuser is both healthy and understandable. He may be “all the father you have,” but the person you have described is a sorry excuse for a human being and not much of a man. You do not have to pray for him, nor do you have to have anything further to do with him.

BRIEF Historical sites open for free to the public
MARENGO – The McHenry County Historical Society will host a free open house from 1 to 4 p.m. Aug. 9 at The Pringle one-room schoolhouse and the pre-Civil War “Stewart’s Scottish Cemetery.” During the 1840s, the land
north of today’s Marengo was settled by a number of pioneering families from Scotland. Many of these settlers came by way of Canada, traveled to Jo Daviess County to work in the lead mines, then reversed migration to the Marengo area. Remnants of these Scottish pioneers and their contributions
to McHenry County history are found at the school and cemetery, restored and maintained by members of the Ted Wilson family. The historical society has owned Pringle School since 2002, and volunteers have undertaken its restoration and interpretation since then.
Once a year, the school is open to the public. Artifacts found during archeological excavations around the site will be on display. Work also is underway to restore the foyer. The 1867 limestone school and cemetery are north of Marengo off River Road. Pringle School is about a quarter mile
west of Route 23, and the cemetery is on the Ted Wilson farm at 20916 River Road, just east of Route 23. For directions and additional information, contact the McHenry County Historical Society at info@mchenrycountyhistory.org or 815-923-2267.

Symptoms of hidden drug use can lead to psychiatric diagnosis Mr. Atwater: I’ve used speed (methamphetamine) for a number of years. The first time I used any type of speed, it was “white crosses” or “pink hearts” when I was in college and trying to stay up all night studying for exams. I liked the feeling so much I continued to use these “truck stop drugs” until I found a drug that was called “crystal,” the crystallized form of methamphetamine. Initially, I snorted it, but soon I was injecting it and have been ever since. I’m in my 40s and have been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and depression and have low self-esteem. My wife left several years ago because of the drugs. I’ve been in rehab twice, so another rehab doesn’t make any sense. Do you have any advice? Dear Reader: Most “speed freaks” don’t last as long as you have. The body usually dictates a strategic
Geode Agate
withdrawal or it kills them. Another immediate issue is IV drug use. I assume you don’t share your syringe and use clean equipment. If you did not, secondary infections would have caught up with you by now. It sounds like you’re angling for a psychiatric diagnosis that, I agree, would make it easier for you. You’d get to take meds, which you’re already good at, and most people would feel sorry for you. I do not. Apparently, you weren’t listening in either of your rehab stays. I guarantee they told you exactly what to do, and you didn’t do it. Some of the most common emotional side effects of chronic amphetamines use are increased aggressiveness, paranoia and wide swings in mood from euphoric to deeply depressed, all exacerbated by long-term sleep deprivation. Does that sound like
bi-polar to you? Did you tell your psychiatrist about your chronic drug use? I would guess not. Restlessness, irritability and sleeplessness are other physical symptoms of even short-term speed use. Do you think these things, plus the necessity to hide, cover and lie, not to mention cheat, steal and manipulate, could contribute to a feeling of depression? I think it might. I think dishonesty and depression are directly related, and the more you lie, the worse you feel. And by the way, the more you use drugs, the more you need to lie; ask your ex-wife. So my advice to you is simple: Go back to rehab, and listen this time.

Gem Talk
®
By Karly Bulinski
Agates are some of the most common stones on the planet. There have been thousands of different agates that have been named and cataloged throughout the world. Some are named for how they form while others are named for their appearances and still others are named for where they are found. Today’s Gem Talk will focus on the geode agate. A geode is like a tootsie roll pop, underneath the hard exterior is a surprise center! A geode is a type of agate that starts its formation as a hollow bubble inside of a layer of rock. The outer “crust” of a geode will be older than the crystals that are found inside of it. During the rock formation, the hollow space begins to be filled. This can occur because the outer rock layer is actually porous, although the pores cannot be seen without the aid of a microscope. Which minerals end up inside the geode depends on the location and conditions in which it is formed. For example, quartz crystals are more likely to be found in igneous geodes whereas silica crystals are found in sedimentary-formed geodes. How do you hunt for geodes? The first step is to start looking in the right location. You can go to visitor’s centers or ranger’s stations as they often have rock hunting guides specific to that area. If you aren’t in a place that has a station, I would consult the Internet to see if there are any places that are known for their geodes. The next step is to know what you are looking for. They are often round or egg-shaped. It is very rare for geodes to be a sharp, pointy rock. They have a tendency to look liked steamed cauliflower on the outside due to the weathering they have endured. They often weigh less than other rocks of comparable sizes due to the hollow centers. When you do find a geode, you need to figure out a way to break it open. The best method is to use a saw, but since most people don’t have water saws that can cut through rock just lying around in their garage, the next best method is a chisel and hammer. You need to be patient when you chisel it open otherwise you will end up with a shattered mess of crystals and rock. While geodes can be found just about anywhere, a quick Google search suggests that the best place in Illinois is on the western border of Il. And IA in a town called Keokuk, IA. I’m a sucker for family trips that are out of the box, so there just may be a future Gem Talk about our visit to Keokuk, IA.

Learn to calm our inner junkyard dog “What good is anxiety? a client asked me recently. She suffers from anxiety disorder, meaning she is often anxious “for no good reason.” It’s an excellent question. Is anxiety a vestigial throwback, the emotional equivalent of an appendix, left over from a time when humans were the prey of saber toothed tigers and cave bears, or does it have a useful function today? I suspect it is a little of both. People born without the ability to experience fear would not live very long. I liken anxiety to a junkyard dog, pacing the perimeter of the property. Ideally, the dog would have sense enough to tell the difference between a sparrow flying over the fence and a masked intruder carrying a sack for the loot he hopes to steal. But, for many people, especially those who have been traumatized in the past, a sparrow is as anxietyprovoking as a burglar. Anxiety is a manifestation of our autonomic nervous system – the part of our wiring that keeps us alive, even when we are asleep or unconscious. Some have referred to this autonomic system as the “little brain” because it functions without conscious thought and seems to work on an entirely physical level. However, our thoughts do influence it. Not only does that part of the brain never sleep – it never forgets, either. Its memories are stored in our very cells and can be evoked by direct input from our five senses. For that reason, as we remember, we relive them. In particular, we remember those memories associated with physical trauma, hence post-traumatic stress disorder, which refers to stress and fear experienced long after the trauma has passed. Not only can our “little brain” never forget – it can’t tell time. For it, time is always “Now!”, and triggers acute, severe anxiety. As a therapist, I teach
clients with anxiety disorders techniques to manage their physical reactions, to relax enough to access their “big brains” so they can respond to situations rather than react to them. These might include cognitive reframing (finding the anxiety-provoking thought and changing it to something less alarming), deep breathing, self-hypnosis and repeated exposure to the trigger in a safe environment so it loses its power. For someone with PTSD, I might recommend EMDR – a technique that has been shown to work well for victims of war and natural disasters. In this method, the therapist moves her finger back and forth while the subject follows the moving finger with his eyes while recalling the painful memory. The therapist who initiated this technique learned it by observing how, when experiencing mild trauma, victims engage in rapid eye movement spontaneously, which helps to calm them. For some individuals, medication helps to give some peace until they can learn to manage their symptoms. Anxiety is good in that it teaches us to be more careful and to anticipate and avoid danger, but it also creates a powerful fight or flight reaction in situations where sometimes neither one is an option. And, in some of us, it over-reacts to everything, creating a bigger problem than the original trigger or potential hazard. Having an inner watchdog is good – if you can control him.

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW
“FANTASTIC FOUR”
STARRING: Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan
PLOT: Four young outsiders teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. The four must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy. RATED: PG-13 for sci-fi action violence and language TIME: 1 hour, 40 minutes VERDICT: “Fantastic Four,” directed by Josh Trank, is not wholesale terrible – just depressingly mediocre, and at a certain point you sort of start wishing it were definitively terrible, because that would at least make it more entertaining or give it a certain strange raison d’etre. It’s not that the raw materials aren’t there. Aside from the known story, we have some talented actors on hand. They include the usually very compelling Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan, along with Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, Reg E. Cathey (“The Wire”) and an expertly creepy Tim Blake Nelson. If you know the story, created more than a half-century ago by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, you know the four must fight their erstwhile colleague, now Dr. Doom, to save Earth. The fight is energetic but feels rather perfunctory. And then there’s the final scene, where the team stands together, and the dialogue suddenly becomes so silly, people erupted in laughter at my screening. This movie isn’t the first attempt to make this story into a profitable franchise. Previous efforts failed, and the thought here must have been to re-energize things with a young and appealing cast. But these actors – unlike, say, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in the recent “Spider-Man” films – are not well used, and their charisma remains largely untapped. The result? Something much less than fantastic. –The Associated Press
“THE GIFT”
STARRING: Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall, Joel Edgerton
PLOT: A young married couple’s lives are thrown into a harrowing tailspin when an acquaintance from the husband’s past brings mysterious gifts and a horrifying secret to light after more than 20 years. RATED: R for language TIME: 1 hour, 48 minutes VERDICT: Nobody likes a bully. Especially a past victim with a long memory. Figuring out who’s the bully and who’s the victim is part of the mystery in “The Gift,” a satisfying directorial debut
LOCAL SHOWTIMES from writer, producer and star Joel Edgerton. While it doesn’t break any new ground, it succeeds as the kind of unsettling psychological thriller that could inspire one to double-check the locks on the front door. Simon (Jason Bateman) and wife Robyn (Rebecca Hall) just relocated from Chicago to a picture-perfect house in his hometown of Los Angeles, where he has a great new job and an impending promotion. While out shopping, the couple bumps into Simon’s old high school classmate, Gordo (Edgerton). They exchange pleasantries and innocuously part ways. Suddenly, a bottle of wine appears on the couple’s doorstep, a gift from Gordo, though they hadn’t given him their address. Then he pops by unannounced, ostensibly to be helpful. More spontaneous gifts follow. To Robyn, Gordo seems lonely. To Simon, he seems delusional. He remembers they called him weirdo back in high school. Edgerton’s film plays as homage to the polished, stylized thrillers of the 1980s and ’90s, when things went bad for Yuppies. The three leads make their performances look effortless, a credit to Edgerton’s direction. “The Gift” takes a leap at its conclusion, but it doesn’t undo the story’s main theme, which Gordo might creepily sum up as “what happens when you poison other people’s minds with ideas.” Like it might be a good idea to check the locks. – The Associated Press
“RICKI AND THE FLASH”
STARRING: Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Mamie Gummer, Rick Springfield PLOT: A musician who gave up everything for her dream of rock-and-roll stardom returns home, looking to make things right with her family. RATED: PG-13 for thematic material, brief drug content, sexuality and language TIME: 1 hour, 42 minutes VERDICT: Early on in “Ricki and the Flash,” Ricki (Meryl Streep) gets a call that disarms her before she’s even decided to pick it up. With smoky eyes, braided rocker hair and a swagger that suggests skin that’s as thick as her leather pants, this doesn’t seem like a woman who would back down from a challenge. You get the sense she’s either become accustomed to being scolded by the voice on the other end of the line, or has given up dealing with that other life completely. It’s a small but telling moment in a lovely film laced with intensely human details that allow the audience the opportunity to actually know its characters in ways so many films come up short. The voice on
the line is her ex-husband and father of her three grown children, Pete (Kevin Kline). Their daughter’s husband has left her, she’s a wreck and Ricki needs to help. It’s one of the more precise and effective introductions to a character in recent memory. It’s all amplified by Streep’s layered performance as this broke 60-something woman with the spirit of a rebellious, stargazing teenager. The concoction could only come from the mind of “Juno” and “Young Adult” screenwriter Diablo Cody, cinema’s songstress of defiant women. It sounds like the stuff of melodrama, but in the hands of director Jonathan Demme, the story chugs along naturally and subtly with the characters. Ultimately, spending time with these people is pleasant, lived-in, honest and even thought-provoking. There’s a fun, golden not-too-oldies live music soundtrack to hum along with, too. – The Associated Press
“SHAUN THE SHEEP”
STARRING: Justin Fletcher, John Sparkes, Omid Djalili
PLOT: When Shaun decides to take the day off and have some fun, he gets a little more action than he bargained for. A mix up with the Farmer, a caravan and a very steep hill lead them all to the Big City, and it’s up to Shaun and the flock to return everyone safely to the green grass of home. RATED: PG for rude humor TIME: 1 hour, 25 minutes VERDICT: I must say that, in the parlance of the British folks who made this new film, “Shaun” is “brilliant.” It’s a feature-length feast of stop-motion animation. The character Shaun the Sheep made his debut in the 1995 Wallace and Gromit film “A Close Shave,” and he ended up having a wildly popular series of made-for-TV shorts. Mostly seven minutes long, they were dialogue-free exercises in mayhem, silliness and sight gags. There had been talk of making the step up to a Shaun feature soon after the series premiered in 2007, and the Aardman folks finally came to their senses. Yes, it was worth the wait. Because co-writers/co-directors Mark Burton and Richard Starzak opted to keep the script simple as well as wordless, their story is driven by sight gags, and they’re presented relentlessly and gleefully. The nice thing about “Shaun the Sheep Movie” and pretty much all of the Aardman films is they also have a big heart. It’s utter zaniness that pushes things along, but it’s just the arrival of another morning on the farm that everyone in the film welcomes. – More
