Investigators eye DNA with hope

Experts say DNA evidence could ‘make or break’ police shooting probe

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – Police investigating the shooting death of Fox Lake Police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz have hopes that DNA evidence recovered at the scene will bring them closer to the suspects after several

surveillance videos failed to do so.

As the investigation proceeds, DNA – and the science behind it – might be the only hope investigators have of catching the suspects without video, a dashboard camera recording or eyewitness accounts of the attack, some ex-

perts contend.

“If there are no witnesses, DNA will make or break the case,” said Richard Kling, a clinical professor of law at Chicago-Kent College of Law. “There’s nobody saying, ‘I saw this person.’ There’s no video or surveillance footage.”

Lake County Major Crime

Task Force Cmdr. George Filenko said Tuesday investigators recovered DNA that was not Gliniewicz’s at the crime scene. The announcement came after he revealed the three men captured on video near the crime scene were not involved in the shooting.

Filenko, as well as Lake

County Sheriff’s Department Detective Chris Covelli, wouldn’t elaborate on where specifically the DNA was found or what the source was – blood, saliva, sweat – but they said the DNA had made contact with something relevant to Gliniewicz.

“Any time an unknown

donor’s DNA is found at the crime scene, it’s significant,” Covelli said.

Covelli said investigators hope to receive results from the Northeastern Illinois Crime Laboratory, the Illinois State Police and a federal lab

SOME MILLENNIALS SEE 2016 ELECTIONS AS A CHANCE TO COUNTER BABY BOOMER VOTE

McHenry County College student government president Hanna Passerella listens during a student government meeting Aug. 24 in Crystal Lake. Passerella hopes to hold a voter registration drive later this year.

Area millennials weigh in on potential voter age shift underway

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com One item the new McHenry County College student government president plans to see through this year is an expanded voter registration program.

“Last year, student government had a member that helped students who weren’t already registered to vote get in the voting program,” said 19-year-old Hanna Passerel-

la of Spring Grove. “This year, I intend to have that available to more than just student government members so more of our generation can be a part of the voting process

for a new president [of the United States].”

As a millennial and a newly elected leader herself, Passerella said the 2016 presidential election could get interesting as her own generation – and the different views it represents – grows to match the country’s share of baby boomers.

She noted as millennials have entered into adulthood, certain issues are now at the forefront of America’s mind, such as the na-

tionwide legalization of gay marriage and student debt.

“We’re on our own now – not living with our parents,” Passerella said. “And I think we’re getting more involved because issues are starting to pertain to us more.”

ST. LOUIS – A growing divide has emerged in the Republican Party’s unruly presidential contest, as the race bid farewell to a once-powerful White House contender. On one side stands billionaire businessman Donald Trump and his allies, on the other are those who oppose him.

A day after Rick Perry, Texas’ longest-serving governor, ended his second Republican presidential run with a whimper, Trump marked the shake-up by embracing his role as his party’s 2016 bully on Saturday.

“Mr. Perry, he’s gone.

Good luck.

He was very Donald Trump nasty to me,” Trump told Iowa voters. Turning to rival Ben Carson, he questioned whether the retired neurosurgeon had “the energy” to negotiate successfully with world leaders. In an interview earlier, Trump touted his tough-talking style as a plus.

“It’s an attitude that our country needs. We get pushed around by everybody,” he told Fox News, adding, “We have to push back.”

Perry had all but declared war on the billionaire businessman in July, calling Trump “a cancer on conservatism” who could destroy the Republican Party. On Saturday, Trump’s campaign was soaring while Perry’s White House ambitions were dead.

And with the real estate mogul suffocating the rest of

Watch for work on Route 47

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com • ROUTE 47: Work will start in earnest soon on repairing Route 47 between Route 176 in Lakewood and Route 14 in Woodstock.

• CHARLES MILLER ROAD: Watch for a new traffic pattern at the end of the week, weather permitting, as traffic is switched onto newly poured pavement.

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.

• BLIVIN STREET IN SPRING GROVE: The infamous Blivin Street sinkhole at the street’s intersection with Route 12 has finally been fixed, and the road is open to traffic. The sinkhole, varying between 4 and 6 feet deep, opened up in July.

But conflicting jurisdictions prompted confusion over who was responsible for fixing it.

• ROUTE 14: Watch for delays, espe-

cially at the intersection of Routes 14 and 176, as widening work on Route 14 continues.

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.

• ROUTE 14 IN HARVARD: Workers are resurfacing about a mile of Route 14 between Route 23 and Brink Street. Anticipate delays.

• LAKEWOOD ROAD/LAKE AVENUE: Work is ongoing to resurface and add bike

lanes along Lakewood Road 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.

LOCAL BRIEFS 2 men arrested in Lake County prostitution sting

Two McHenry County men were arrested last month in an undercover prostitution sting conducted by Lake County sheriff’s detectives, according to a release.

Michael B. Miller, 51, of Harvard and Glenn R. Parduhn, 67, of McHenry were Michael B. two of the 14 Miller arrested in the sting, which took place Aug. 6 and 7. During the two-day operation, part of “National Glenn R.

Both men were charged with solicitation of a sexual act, a misdemeanor, according to the Lake County Circuit Court.

New motorcycles on patrol CL Park District Police Department acquires vehicles through federal program

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A few motorcycles with a different look soon will be patrolling Crystal Lake and Lakewood parks.

nitely unusual in that they look different than what is typically seen as a police motorcycle in this area,” Crystal Lake Park District Police Chief Dan Dziewior said in a news release. “We really wanted to raise awareness to the public of the bigger purpose that these cycles will serve.”

The motorcycles will give officers access to areas of the parks that other park district vehicles can’t reach, thereby increasing their visibility, helping to keep crime down and providing better first re-

sponder access to those areas, the release said.

The newest additions also will alleviate some of the burden on existing fleet vehicles, and because they have diesel engines, they have better gas mileage, the release said.

The program is one of several federal programs that have been criticized for contribution to the militarization of local police departments.

D-200 teacher up for Illinois award Instructor 1 of 10 for teacher of year

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – When Woodstock School District 200 officials were tasked with selecting a nominee for one of the state’s highest teaching honors, the discussion didn’t take very long, Superintendent Mike Moan said.

That’s how 53-year-old Paul Paul Rausch Rausch, who has spent his entire 32-year teaching career as choral director at Woodstock High School,

became the district’s nominee for Illinois Teacher of the Year, awarded by the Illinois State Board of Education through a program called “Those Who Excel.”

Once districts nominated a candidate for the recognition, 10 finalists were selected throughout the state, and Rausch is one of them. The winner will be announced in October during a banquet in Normal. “[His] was the first name that came to mind,” Moan said.

“He just embodies what you want an educator to be. He’s passionate about everything he does, and he really makes connections with our students.”

ALGONQUIN

Board to mull $426K in repairs to Snapper Field

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The Village Board will consider approving $426,000 worth of upgrades to Snapper Field that would add a walking path, additional seating and improved drainage at the park.

The proposal was the most extensive of three presented

by General Services Superintendent Steve Ludwig at Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting.

The costs to upgrade the park, which sits on Longwood Drive south of Algonquin Road, will come out of the park improvement fund.

The original budget for this year had estimated the upgrades at about $150,000, but project directors realized the

number had not accounted for some basic issues, such as drainage and access paths.

The updated base cost for the project, which would include upgrades to the current basketball/hockey rink and a new entrance path, was estimated at $314,000, but members of the board unanimously decided to move forward with the more extensive plan in order to do repairs upfront and not have the issues reappear in the next few years.

The $426,000 plan will include drainage, landscaping, an extension of the pool deck that will connect it to the basketball court, other additional seating areas and a path that will run through the park and connect with the existing playground.

“What it needs is something

to bring it together,” Ludwig said at the meeting. “Being one of our original great parks, we thought if we put a little time and effort into this concept, we thought we could provide a walking path and additional seating areas.”

Ludwig also said the upgrades would improve the quality of the ice rink the village opens during the winter months. The grading of the current, aged court made the rink difficult to construct, he said.

If the plans are approved, the rink would not open this winter because of construction, but Ludwig anticipates an improved rink with better lighting opening for the winter of 2016-17 The Village Board officially will vote on the upgrades at a future meeting.

Starbucks gets OK for liquor license Evening menu still to be determined

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Lake in the Hills is the latest community to OK a liquor license for Starbucks.

The Lake in the Hills Village Board approved a liquor license for the 343 Randall Road store, which is located in the shopping center next to Home State Bank, with a 5-0 vote, Village Administrator Jerry Sagona said.

The vote came after a few questions for Starbucks staff at the Village Board’s Committee of the Whole meeting Tuesday

evening, and no discussion at the Thursday board meeting.

Trustees asked what would be done to prevent underage drinking and whether it would involve an expansion or changes to the current location.

The only changes to the store would be to the internal displays, store manager Amy Hibbard said. One ID also would have to be shown for each alcoholic beverage bought, which would have to be consumed in the store and would be in clear glassware different than the cups used for nonalcoholic drinks.

Employees also would do

what Starbucks calls “table touch,” which involves going to each table, checking in and making sure the drinks are being consumed by the correct person, said Rebecca Rabin, an attorney representing Starbucks.

The general manager already has passed the required background check, officials said.

The request from the national coffee chain follows approvals for both the downtown and Route 14 locations in Crystal Lake and the location at 790 S. Randall Road in Algonquin.

Starbucks is in the “very early stages” of deciding what neighborhoods in Illinois will get the new evening menu,

which would include small plates, appetizers and a selection of craft beer and wine, a Starbucks spokeswoman said in an email.

“It’s a long and thoughtful process, and the permit filing is just one of many steps we take,” she said in the email.

At this point, the Algonquin Starbucks location likely will offer the evening menu as soon as late October, she said, adding she did not have any details available on the Crystal Lake and Lake in the Hills locations.

The closest location currently serving the evening menu is at Streets of Woodfield in Schaumburg, Hibbard said, adding they have not had any issues.

McHenry Oberweis to close permanently

MARENGO

Council to vote on variance for storage facility addition

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The Marengo City Council will vote on and discuss at its meeting Monday an amendment that would allow an addition of self-storage facilities off Route 20.

City Administrator Gary Boden said the planning and zoning commission voted Wednesday to recommend a setback variance at 1040 E. Grant Highway to allow for construction of mini warehouses.

“I think there’s a general understanding that people are probably concerned about the

aesthetic,” Boden said Thursday. “The question is whether in fact adjustments can be made to this proposal that actually would allow for the aesthetics to be addressed.”

The motion passed to recommend the variance included Gary Boden conditions for landscaping and continuity with fencing and unit design, according to drafted meeting minutes.

Prairie Enterprises LLC wants to add two buildings holding 120 units to the already

existing complex at Highway 20 Self Storage, Boden said.

Boden said the commission talked for more than an hour Wednesday before voting, 5-0.

The commission is recommending to change the 150-foot setback requirement, which says nothing can be built closer than 150 feet from the center of the highway, to a 108-foot setback, Boden said.

“You’d see a whole bunch of garage doors in an evolving commercial area if this were to expand,” Boden said.

He said he expects there to be discussion on the aesthetics of the project before the vote at Monday’s meeting.

Other D-200 employees to be recognized • AWARD

Continued from page A3 become a representative for the teaching profession.

As a finalist, Rausch recently had the chance to join the other nine candidates in Springfield to speak with officials about education.

The veteran teacher, who also serves as the school’s fine arts division chair, is credited with building up the high school’s choir program into something “outstanding” and “nationally renowned,” Moan said.

Rausch said he developed the program to offer more singing options than what is typical in high school, so there are eight different choir opportunities for students, including a capella groups.

Woodstock High School senior Emma Browne, 17, has been involved in choir all four years of high school.

Rausch, she said, is one of the most influential teachers

she’s ever had.

“Personally, for me, he’s been a guiding light in my career path,” Browne said.

“I always loved music, but I didn’t know I actually wanted to make a profession out of it until he came into my life.”

She was asked to write a recommendation for Rausch, which was included in the docket reviewed by the finalist selection committee.

Browne said she noted a specific element that sets Rausch apart from other teachers – the connections he forms with his students.

That also happens to be Rausch’s favorite part of the job, he said.

“It’s the contact with the students and the energy and excitement,” Rausch said.

“Especially in high school, you have young boys and girls coming in, and then they leave as adults. ... What other job can you do where you can show somebody the tremendous value they have?”

That’s what he did with

Browne, who now has lofty aspirations in musical theater.

“He’s made me the singer I am today, the performer I am today, and also the person I am today,” she said. “He’s the teacher who will stick with me for the rest of my life – I know that already.”

In addition to Rausch’s nomination, other District 200 employees also will be recognized by ISBE as part of Those Who Excel.

Principal’s Secretary Maribeth Dhom from Dean Street Elementary is being honored in the Educational Service Personnel category; kindergarten teacher Kelly Edge from Verda Dierzen is being recognized in the Early Career Educator category; Greenwood Elementary School nurse Denise Clark is being recognized in Student Support Personnel; and the Team category recipients will be the district’s co-advisers for the Special Olympics program, Jen Moskowitz and Cory Knopik.

TV dramas bolster unrealistic belief of DNA’s presence at crime scenes • DNA

Continued from page A1 “soon,” although he couldn’t provide a more exact time frame as of Friday.

Police have been investigating the case for almost two weeks. Gliniewicz, 52, was shot and killed about 8 a.m.

Sept. 1 after he radioed he was in a foot pursuit with two white men and one black man.

Police have yet to add any details to the vague description of the suspects.

DNA is a powerful tool, Kling said. It’s cleared people when they have been errone-

ously convicted, but it’s also helped police catch suspects years after the crime occurred.

He pointed to the Brown’s Chicken massacre in Palatine, in which investigators found DNA on a chicken leg left at the scene that matched one of the killers and led to convictions years later.

But the sample could bring disappointing results initially, said Karl Reich, the chief scientific officer at Lombard-based Independent Forensic. Police won’t be able to glean anything from the DNA unless it has a match, Reich said.

“The DNA profile is literal-

Data doesn’t paint optimistic picture of millennial participation • MILLENNIALS

Continued from page A1 University, said the number of eligible voters from both generations will be the largest they ever have been.

However, despite almost equal shares of potential voters – about 24 percent of millennials versus about 32 percent of boomers – Sullivan said trending data doesn’t provide an optimistic picture for young voter turnout, at least not from a historical standpoint.

Young voters traditionally have shown up at a rate of 15 to 20 percent lower than their older cohorts, she said. Sullivan added the 2014 midterm election saw the lowest turnout, 19.9 percent, of voters ages 18 to 29 since the start of data collection in the early 1970s.

“The younger millennial group seems to be very disengaged from voting,” she said.

“But the group is so big, that there’s almost an older cohort and a younger cohort.”

It’s the younger group that has been found to have less faith in voting and other traditional institutions, Sullivan added.

A recent Wall Street Journal report on a poll done in collaboration with NBC News highlighted some of the stark differences of opinion between millennials and their elders.

For instance, the poll found millennials make up the only age bracket with a net positive view of President Barack Obama.

On that matter, 30-year-old Cameron Hubbard, a Crystal Lake City Council member, said he tends to lean away from his younger generational cohorts. Similarly, while the poll indicates millennials, by 2 to 1, say government should do more to solve issues, Hubbard would like to see less government involvement.

As candidates have started lining up for the 2016 race, he

said he’s going to be looking for someone who will address Social Security issues as well as student debt.

The latter issue, as well as other, more social issues, likely will resonate with potential student-aged voters, said Laurie Keller, adviser for the College Democrats at McHenry County College.

Having been involved in the 1992 Bill Clinton presidential campaign right out of college, Keller added she’s seen positive developments at McHenry County College over the past few years as far as emerging, issue-based student organizations, such as groups for environment protection, marriage equality and women’s rights.

Whether or not such developments will translate into more millennial voters, however, is unclear.

For 24-year-old Melissa Sanchez-Fisher of Algonquin, an even split between young and older voters would be a welcome shift.

“If it does end up being 50/50, it’s a good thing,” she said. “At least in my little political sphere, we feel we can make a change.”

Already in the thick of her own political career as a trustee for the Algonquin Township Board, Sanchez-Fisher said it’s too soon to pinpoint particular candidates – although she did express hope Republican candidate Donald Trump would not make the primary cut.

Holding several issues near and dear, such as higher education funding, immigration, and the country’s economy, the local Republican had a message to others her age: Vote whichever way you want; just don’t vote on a whim.

“To people in my generation who are coming out of college and grad school, trying to buy a house, wanting to change things – don’t just go along with the flow,” she said.

“Know your candidates before voting.”

ly a set of numbers, and it does not tell you anything about that person,” Reich said.

Police will compare it to the millions of samples compiled from across the country in the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System, also known as CODIS. Lake County investigators also will compare the sample to more than 50 DNA samples taken from people interviewed in the case. Those samples come from people who might have had contact with Gliniewicz.

The laws dictating when a DNA sample is collected vary by state. In some states, police take DNA after an arrest

depending on the severity of the crime. Meanwhile, other states collect DNA only after someone has been convicted of a specific set of crimes.

In Illinois, state law requires all convicted felons and registered sex offenders submit a DNA sample, Illinois State Police spokesman Sgt. Matthew Boerwinkle said in an email. People arrested for first-degree murder, home invasion, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, aggravated criminal sexual assault or criminal sexual assault have to submit a DNA sample after they have been indicted by a grand jury, the code reads.

Illinois had nearly 527,680 DNA samples as of June 30, Boerwinkle said.

DNA is used in just about all of the felony cases, and most of the new cases, in Lake County, State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim said. He said it’s a change from the past, when more DNA was needed to create a usable sample. With the change has come a need to scrutinize why the DNA is at a scene.

“One of the things we have to keep in mind is there are a lot of reasons someone could touch something,” Nerheim said.

Nerheim said there’s often

a misconception about the prevalence of DNA. Prosecutors and others refer to it as the “CSI effect,” a side-effect from crime dramas that leads people to believe all crime scenes are teeming with DNA evidence. But that’s not the case in many crimes, such as in Fox Lake, where officials have said they are testing one sample.

“The general public thinks DNA is everywhere and, if someone touches something, it will be there forever,” Nerheim said. “Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes it’s found and sometimes it’s not.”

Perry was a leading voice in anti-Trump movement • TRUMP

Continued from page A1 the packed field, it’s likely a matter of time before he helps push another GOP candidate out of the race.

Perry was a leading voice in the anti-Trump movement, a group that has suffered in the polls as Trump’s public allies largely avoid backlash from the anti-insider wave that made Trump the unlikeliest of Republican presidential front-runners.

“There is no play in the playbook for where we are right now,” said John Jordan, a California winery owner and major Republican fundraiser. “Donors don’t know what to think. Nobody saw the Trump phenomenon coming.”

In still-early polls, the real-estate mogul and reality TV star has more support than the once-top-tier trio of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio combined. In

second, by the way, is another political rookie: Carson, who repeatedly refused to criticize Trump in recent days.

Bush has gone the other way in recent weeks, jabbing the businessman repeatedly on the campaign trail and through social media.

He was at it again Saturday while meeting with supporters in Miami.

“Mr. Trump says that I can’t speak Spanish,” Bush told the crowd in Spanish.

“Pobrecito [poor guy].”

Walker, another Trump critic, also has struggled recently, particularly in Iowa, where he was considered a front-runner for much of the year. The Wisconsin governor canceled upcoming appearances in California and Michigan to focus instead on the critical early voting Iowa and South Carolina.

“Nothing changed for us aside from some scheduling,” Walker spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said, dismissing any suggestion the campaign was concerned.

Hidden veterans might need help Before serving at TLS Veterans effective July 6, I recognized military veterans as those who get out of cars with specialty plates, those who wear snapbacks with their branch and years served, or those who have custom jackets with units and ranks. I served World War II veterans through in-home counseling and family support. I “saw” veterans everywhere … or so I thought.

I’m now aware of an entire group that my eyes did not see: Those who wish to remain incognito, unidentifiable. Those who served our country and now choose to blend in, to assimilate, to quietly go on with life as a 20- or 30-something and leave it all behind.

Grow out the hair, change the military voice cadence, be sure to choose shirts without epaulets. Some attend college, some reunite with spouses and young children, some obtain employment. Some shut their front doors and sink into invisible desperation and isolation. Some try all of the above. There are more suicides by those who have served than there are deaths in combat.

Why disappear?

“The stigma is still there,” one young veteran told me.

“It’s not as bad as it used to be, but people look at you wondering if you have PTSD or a traumatic brain injury, or ask you what you did. It’s easier to just blend in and go on.”

Another veteran described leaving the service in her 30s and not knowing the process for turning on the lights/water/gas, as her housing was always taken care of, and the embarrassment of learning these life lessons outside of the normal age for doing so.

VETERAN NEWS Laura Franz Most of us think of “coming home” as a time to celebrate and as a natural transition back to “life before.” For many veterans, coming home is a transition fraught with unexpected challenges, unexpected emotions and unexpected life situations to address.

Benefits do not begin immediately, and veterans can find themselves facing unexpected financial disaster resulting in homelessness and isolation.

Sometimes the initial transition seems successful, but experiences, such as extreme anxiety or nightmares or overwhelming loss, emerge and begin to affect day-to-day life.

If you or a family member is experiencing challenges, please access one of the many veterans’ resources available so the struggles are more quickly overcome. TLS Veterans offers food pantries, employment assistance, housing assistance, transitional living and individual/group support for dealing with challenges.

TLS employs veterans from all branches and areas of service.

Call 815-679-6667 or visit the drop-in center at 5330 West Elm St, McHenry, IL 60050.

We transform lives through service to veterans.

SKETCH VIEW

Revive art of compromise It is fitting the Public Broadcasting Service chose to air the groundbreaking documentary during the 150th anniversary of the Civil War’s end.

The first episode, which aired last week, included an interview with the late historian and author Shelby Foote, who commented on what started a war that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.

“It was because For the record we failed to do the thing we really In 2015, we have many dishave a genius for, putes over what government which is comproshould do to solve national and mise,” Foote said. state problems.

He added, “Our whole government’s founded on it [compromise]. And it failed.”

Compromise (noun): An agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions, according to the dictionary definition.

In 2015, we have many disputes over what government should do to solve national and state problems.

President Barack Obama and leaders of Congress disagree on almost everything.

Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Illinois General Assembly leadership aren’t much better.

Their intransigence has done our gridlocked state and nation little good.

Elected leaders swore to serve the public to the best of their abilities. Somewhere along the way, they must have learned the art of compromise.

It’s time to revive that skill, meet each other toward the middle, reach important agreements and move forward.

ANOTHER VIEW

Jeb Bush’s tax plan With much of the Republican presidential field unwilling to address budget issues, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush released a comprehensive tax plan worth taking seriously.

Bush’s proposal is arguably more finegrained than was Mitt Romney’s during the 2012 presidential race, and it easily surpasses the mathematically challenged nonsense passed off by some other GOP candidates. It should serve as a starting point for the 2016 Republican debate on governing priorities.

Bush borrows heavily from the recent work of Martin Feldstein, a Harvard economics professor and Ronald Reagan’s chief economics adviser. Feldstein has identified the country’s overgrown mess of a tax code as a vehicle for government spending that isn’t transparent and often isn’t particularly useful. Deductions, such as for mortgage interest, cost tens of billions of dollars every year, mostly to the benefit of the wealthy. Feldstein has proposed limiting the deductions Americans can claim, thereby bringing in more revenue, while offsetting that move with lower income tax rates.

Bush embraces this logic. He would spare the deduction for charitable giving, but he would cut the deduction for state and local taxes entirely, and he would limit the value a tax filer could claim from every other itemized deduction, including mortgage interest, to 2 percent of adjusted gross income. He then would cut income tax rates significantly, with the top rate falling from 39.6 percent to 28 percent. He also would eliminate the estate tax and Social Security taxes on working seniors, and he would increase tax credits for the working poor. For corporations, the top rate would fall from 35 percent to 20 percent, with added incentives for investment and reduced incentives for taking on debt.

Bush deserves credit for naming real deductions he would eliminate or limit. His expansion of low-income tax credits is a long-overdue bipartisan reform that every candidate should champion. On the negative side of the ledger, his total elimination of the state and local tax deduction amounts to an attack on blue states; ending Social Security taxes on working seniors would help a lot of people who don’t need the assistance; and abolishing the estate tax makes no sense at a time of rising inequality.

There’s another, gigantic catch: Bush’s plan would reduce federal revenue – a lot. An analysis from Feldstein and three other economists estimates, without accounting for any added economic growth the plan might spur, the tax scheme would lose the government an astonishing $3.4 trillion over 10 years. A “dynamic” analysis estimating the effects of added economic growth still predicts a loss of $1.2 trillion.

Feldstein and his colleagues suggest that this budget hole can be made up by cutting spending, and Bush’s campaign staff promises more proposals that will illuminate the whole picture.

Yet the budget is already strained against strict spending caps. The impending rise in old-age costs promises to hollow out the government’s capability to do much of anything but send out Social Security checks and finance Medicare.

The only feasible way to deal with this problem is to raise revenue, not lower it, and simultaneously reform big entitlement programs.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE To the Editor: I recently attended a wonderful grand opening for the Brunner Family Forest Preserve.

Kane County Forest Preserve Commissioners held an inspiring presentation of this open space, and they thanked the people of Kane County, who paid $40 million to have this for their forest preserve.

A distinguished gentleman then asked how the commissioners could allow a four-lane highway to run right through the open space less than a quarter-mile from where we were all standing. The Kane County official said he did not have to answer that, and the audience just looked at each other, wondering what this four-lane highway is all about. Why would anyone want to ruin this pristine area that has bald eagles nesting on the grounds with trucks, noise and pollution?

Most of the taxpayers who were enjoying the celebration despite the rain knew very little about this.

I found a resident who explained

that a 5-mile road was talked about, but it would cost Kane County taxpayers, even if they charge a toll to cross the Fox River.

This forest preserve so grand in scale and with 200-year-old oak trees and full of wildlife, I hope they don’t think that everything would stay like this with a four-lane road going through it. How could there be plans to ruin a forest preserve after the people of Kane County just paid good money for open space? How did this happen?

Two kingdoms in conflict over same-sex marriage Let’s get something straight.

America never has been a “Christian nation.”

Those who believe otherwise have an obligation to say what part of our history was uniquely Christian. Was it when slavery was legal? How about when women were denied the vote?

The Gilded Age? The Roaring ’20s?

America is a nation in which Christians – and every other religious and nonreligious person – have the right to practice their beliefs in private and public free of government intrusion, except in some cases of life-threatening medical conditions in which the courts have occasionally intruded. It might make some evangelicals feel better to believe the country once reflected biblical principles, but despite generic quotations about “Divine Providence” that hark back to our founding, that’s difficult to prove.

In the case of Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk jailed for refusing to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple, this flawed notion of a once pristine nation that reflected “biblical values” is again being tested,

VIEWS Cal Thomas because we never seem to learn from the past. Davis has since been released by the same judge who jailed her with the caveat that she not interfere with her deputies as they issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The late Charles Colson wrote a book titled “Kingdoms in Conflict.” It was about what evangelicals call the Kingdom of God vs. the kingdom of this world. For most evangelicals, it appears, these kingdoms are headed in opposite directions toward different destinations. Attempts by conservative Christians to impose through politics and government the principles inherent in their kingdom mostly have failed. The reason is set out in their Scripture: “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14) If you are part of God’s Kingdom, which has sought in nearly

every generation to impose itself on the other, answer these questions: If you are pro-life, have you ever tried to get a pro-choice, non-Christian to accept your position? If you believe in traditional marriage and practice it, does your example and argument that marriage should be reserved for “one man and one woman” persuade proponents of same-sex marriage?

I didn’t think so. That leaves members of God’s Kingdom with two options: Force their views on those who don’t share them (which an objective observer might say failed during the Moral Majority and Christian Coalition days of the 1980s and the Prohibition era before that), or accept the biblical verdict for that other kingdom: “And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.” (1 John 2:17 NLT) And what, you might ask, pleases God the most? It is the sharing of His salvation message with members of that other kingdom, which has the additional benefit for those who accept it of changing their outlook on some

of those very things most Christians believe. In other words, changed hearts are usually followed by changed minds.

Davis chose the wrong issue for her “martyrdom.” Amazingbible.org lists more than 600 sins mentioned in the Bible, including adultery, fornication, divorce and lying. If Davis wants to be consistent, she would refuse a marriage license for anyone who has sinned, which would limit the number of applications to zero since “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Davis had four options: Issue the license, have someone else issue it, resign or go to jail. She chose to go to jail, which, unlike Rosa Parks to whom she is being compared, makes her look more like a religious fanatic than a martyr. Removal of her name from the marriage licenses would be a good compromise.

Uncompromising evangelicals should not expect more from a kingdom they regard as heading in another direction.

STATE BRIEFS Illinois lawmaker seeks to restore death penalty

SPRINGFIELD – A lawmaker from southwestern Illinois is pushing to restore the death penalty in certain cases, including when police officers are killed.

Alton Democratic state Senator Bill Haine said he plans to file a bill in the coming legislative session that would bring back capital punishment after it was formally abolished in 2011. No inmates have been executed in Illinois since former Republican Governor George Ryan commuted the death sentences of all death row prisoners in 2000.

Haine was the top prosecutor in Madison County for 14 years before he joined the state Senate. He introduced similar legislation several years ago.

The lawmaker cited the recent shooting death of Fox Lake Police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz police officer and the Charleston, South Carolina, church shooting in which nine worshippers were killed.

SNAP recipients, grocers criticize payment schedule PEORIA – Illinois grocers and government food assistance recipients want the state to increase the number of days it disburses benefits to help relieve sporadic food shortages.

Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program recipients said it’s sometimes difficult to find fresh fruits, vegetables and meat in the last two weeks of each month since Illinois in 2013 began distributing the assistance through the 10th.

Gatehouse Media Illinois reported Saturday there’s now little incentive for grocers to stock perishable food all month.

Last year, some recipients began getting disbursements on the 13th, 17th and 20th. But the state plans to phase that out, saying the 10-day disbursement simplifies the process.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said access to fresh food is the most important factor in setting disbursement schedules, but it won’t interfere in Illinois’ decision.

WTC beams installed at Rockford 9/11 memorial

ROCKFORD – Two steel beams salvaged from New York’s World Trade Center after the 9/11 terrorist attacks now are part of a Rockford memorial.

Welders installed the beams Friday at the Winnebago County Emergency Responders Memorial during a ceremony marking the 14th anniversary of the Sept.

11, 2001, attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania.

The Rockford Register-Star reported the memorial will honor emergency responders who died during the attacks, as well as local firefighters, law enforcement and medical workers who’ve died while serving their communities.

The 1,000-pound beams were provided by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and delivered to Winnebago County in 2011.

UIUC pledges change after cow deaths at vets college

CHAMPAIGN – The University of Illinois is promising changes at its college of veterinary medicine after a federal inspection found violations related to the deaths of five cows.

The review by the U.S. Department of Agriculture found there weren’t enough qualified personnel monitoring the animals during and after surgery and that the surgery was not performed in the proper location.

The agency also said students participating in the operations did not follow proper protocol.

Five cows developed complications after surgery. One died and the other four were euthanized.

Mom charged after kids found living in cave

After spill, agency suspends work at 10 mines in 4 states The ASSOCIATED PRESS BILLINGS, Mont. – Site investigations and some cleanup work at 10 polluted mining complexes in four states were suspended because of conditions similar to those that led to a massive wastewater blowout from an inactive Colorado gold mine, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials said.

The sites include three in California, four in Colorado, two in Montana and one in Missouri, according to details obtained by The Associated Press after repeated requests for the information.

They have the potential for contaminated water to build up inside mine workings, EPA Assistant Administrator Mathy Stanislaus said. That would set the stage for a possible spill such as last month’s near Silverton, Colorado, where an EPA team triggered a 3 million gallon blowout of toxic sludge while doing excavation work on the inactive Gold King Mine.

The accident fouled rivers in three states and attracted harsh criticism of the EPA for not being prepared despite previous warnings that such a spill could happen.

“We want to take extra caution before we initiate any work,” Stanislaus said of the work suspensions. Some the mines were abandoned decades ago and have grown more unstable over time, raising the risk of an accident.

The stop-work order was issued last month, but officials for weeks refused to disclose specifics.

Cleanup efforts on some

of the mines have been going on for years yet remain unfinished, underscoring the complexity of a long-running attempt to address an estimated 500,000 abandoned mines across the U.S. Work on others was in the early stages.

In a report to Congress delivered Friday, the Government Accountability Office said federal agencies identified thousands of contaminated mine sites in recent years – even as their attempts to assess what harm is being done to people and the environment have lagged.

Further investigations were needed to gauge the danger posed by the 10 mining complexes under the suspension before work could safely resume, according to internal EPA documents released by the agency.

That includes categorizing their level of hazard. For those deemed a “probable hazard,” the EPA plans to keep the work stoppage in place until emergency plans are drawn up to deal with any accident.

The agency also wants to get the results of an Interior Department investigation into the Colorado accident before proceeding on most of the other sites. That’s expected in late October, department officials said.

Before the Aug. 5 Gold King spill, the EPA and its contractor, Environmental Restoration LLC of St. Louis, appeared to have only a cursory emergency response plan in the event of a spill, according to documents released under public records requests.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A 24-year-old mother is in custody after her dirty, barefoot 4- and 6-year-old children were found living in a wooden shipping crate in an underground cave in Kansas City, Missouri.

The woman was charged Friday with two counts of felony child endangerment.

Jackson County detectives were serving a search warrant for an alleged stolen car operation in the caves on the city’s east side Thursday when they found the children, alone, in the 8-by-10-foot crate furnished with vehicle bench seats. Prosecutors said the children were poorly clothed, barefoot and covered in dirt, and the younger one was eating from a cup of dry ramen noodles.

Earth movers work to clear debris at the site of an explosion Saturday in Petlawad, India. Dozens of people were killed at a restaurant in central India when a cooking gas cylinder exploded and triggered a second blast of mine detonators stored illegally nearby, police said.

Explosion at central India restaurant kills at least 89 The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW DELHI – At least 89 people were killed at a restaurant in central India on Saturday when a cooking gas cylinder exploded and triggered a second blast of mine detonators stored illegally nearby, police said.

The restaurant, located next to the main bus station in the town of Petlawad in Madhya Pradesh state, was crowded with people having breakfast when the blasts occurred.

The building where the restaurant was located and an adjacent building were destroyed in the explosions, and motorbikes outside the restaurant were flattened, said Mewa Lal Gond, a police inspector in the mining district of Jhabua, where Petlawad is located.

Rescue workers extricated 89 bodies from under a huge heap of rubble, Gond said.

Arun Sharma, a state

health official, said doctors at a government hospital in the nearby district town of Jhabua conducted autopsies of 60 victims. The bodies were then handed over to the victims’ families.

Most of those killed in the explosions were poor laborers.

Their families were likely to cremate the bodies later Saturday. Around 100 other people were injured in the blasts and were taken to hospitals, Gond said.

A local woman said she heard a loud noise at around 8:30 a.m. “I thought it was a gas cylinder that had burst, so I rushed there to see what had happened,” Jaya Rathore, a middle-aged woman, said at a hospital in nearby Ratlam, where she had come to check on some relatives who were injured in the explosions.

Residents were evacuated from several adjoining buildings that were damaged in the

blasts, said a police officer who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to talk to the media.

Police struggled to keep hundreds of onlookers and people looking for their relatives away from the site of the explosions, he said. The crowds hampered the movement of ambulances and other emergency vehicles, and officers had to push them back to allow a bulldozer to reach the restaurant.

Local police officer Kamlesh Bamaniya said early Saturday evening that the rescue operation had ended and that there were no more bodies under the rubble.

Bamaniya said a local contractor, Rajendra Kashawa, had been given a license to buy detonators for his business of digging wells, but had stored the detonators illegally in a room adjacent to the restaurant.

Does your ductwork have condensation?

Many homeowners have concerns when they see condensation on their ductwork when the A/C unit is running. This is not an indication that there is a problem with your equipment. It is indicative of a possible problem with the building envelope which is allowing heat and humidity to enter. Anytime the surrounding air is warmer and more humid than the air within the duct system, condensation may result. This problem is most prevalent when ducts are in a vented crawlspace, but if a basement is not sealed and insulated properly, then ductwork within that space may also have condensation.

The relationship between temperature, humidity and air/moisture mix is all mathematically calculated using a psychometric chart.

If your ducts are condensing, try some of these tips: • Try running your blower in the On position.

• Make sure A/C unit is sized properly.

• Insulate the area (basement or crawl) to prevent humidity from entering the spaces.

• Insulate ducts with duct wrap.

• Buy portable dehumidifier for problem area.

• Install whole house dehumidifier to resolve condensation issues and also improve overall comfort in entire house.

Germany welcoming about 10K refugees The ASSOCIATED PRESS MUNICH – Embracing its role as a defender of those in need, Germany welcomed at least 10,000 more asylum seekers into the country Saturday. As officials worked to give all a firm roof over their weary heads, a packed stadium cheered some of the littlest newcomers, who walked in hand-in-hand with top soccer players.

Germany over the past week has taken in more than 40,000 people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Asia and Africa – and a poll has suggested broad support for the government’s course.

Still, Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said the sheer speed of arrivals was outpacing Germany’s ability to provide emergency housing.

He said Germany needed its

European Union partners to agree to host some of the newcomers at a meeting Monday in Brussels. Several Eastern European nations have insisted they won’t accept any EU quotas on taking asylum seekers.

“Because of the speed at which large numbers of people are coming in, Germany is approaching a situation where we are reaching our limits,” Gabriel said.

Front-line aid workers said Germany was determined to meet the challenge and provide as warm a welcome as possible. The country’s biggest soccer club, Bayern Munich, took the field Saturday with each player holding a newly arrived child by the hand. About 75,000 fans roared their approval as many of the kids waved back shyly.

“Munich is doing the right thing. We have to help them,” said Johann Hoerterer, a bus driver waiting at the city’s central train station to ferry newcomers to refugee shelters across Bavaria.

“It is a positive experience for me. It’s not fun for anyone, but they’ve fled war and bombs. If it were me, I’d do the same – get away to security,” said Hoerterer, standing before a new row of tents at the station providing medical care, food, clothes and other support.

“But these people need to be taken in by the whole of Europe, not just here in Germany,” he added.

About 450,000 migrants have arrived in Germany this year. The country is expecting at least 800,000 in 2015 – by far the most in the 28-nation EU.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – High winds were to blame for the toppling of a massive crane that smashed into Mecca’s Grand Mosque and killed at least 107 people ahead of the start of the annual hajj pilgrimage, the head of Saudi Arabia’s civil defense directorate said Saturday.

The disaster during a violent thunderstorm that roared through Islam’s holiest city late Friday afternoon was the deadliest incident in years surrounding the hajj, which gets underway in full later this month.

Images shared on social media showed a horrifying scene. The crane boom pierced through the roof of the mosque, bringing down

slabs of reinforced concrete and leaving bodies lying amid pools of blood on the polished mosque floors as frightened survivors screamed in panic.

The director general of civil defense, Suleiman bin Abdullah al-Amro, told satellite broadcaster Al-Arabiya that the unusually powerful winds that toppled the crane also tore down trees and signs as a storm whipped through the area. He denied reports that lightning brought down the red-and-white crane, which was being used for the mosque’s expansion, or that some of those killed died in a stampede.

“The speed of the wind was not normal,” he said.

“There was no way for people to know that the crane was about to collapse for them to

scramble,” he added.

An amateur video circulating online, however, appeared to show a frantic scramble in the moments after the crane collapsed as scores of people pushed and jostled one another in a struggle to get out.

At least 238 people were injured in the accident, according to civil defense figures.

Authorities did not provide details on the victims’ nationalities, but it was likely that the tragedy will touch several countries.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry expressed his condolences and said the U.S. stands with Saudi Arabia and “all Muslims around the world in the aftermath of this dreadful incident at one of Islam’s holiest sites.”

Packers OT puts priority on loyalty Crystal Lake, Marian Central connections remain important to NFL veteran

By JON STYF – jstyf@shawmedia.com

B

lood was pouring out of Bryan Bulaga’s nose as he ran toward the sideline. Someone tossed him a pack of tissues, and he stuffed half the pack up one nostril, then another wad into the other.

Bulaga, the sixth-year Green Bay Packers starting right tackle and former St. Thomas Catholic School basketball player, had two free throws to shoot. He made them both.

“It didn’t even bother me,” he said.

“That I had blood all over my jersey.”

Now, Bulaga gets paid for that toughness, continuing in the season opener at noon Sunday in Chicago.

He lines up with the task of knocking some of the best athletes in the world off the ball while keeping them away from quarterback Aaron Rodgers play after play. The more he’s willing to play through, the better for the team.

But that’s nothing new for Bulaga.

From his first days playing

football as an 8-year-old Crystal Lake Raider to leading Marian Central to a state football final to getting drafted in the first round out of Iowa and then winning a Super Bowl his first season, he’s taken what he learned in McHenry County and applied it.

The length of his arms were the main criticism of Bulaga as he headed to New York with his inner circle for draft weekend.

But the athleticism and quick feet he honed as a three-sport athlete and then-Dave Davis protege, along with the versatility he gained playing practically every position on the field at Marian Central, have helped that to never become an issue.

Now, as a new father and the NFL’s highest-paid right tackle, Bulaga remains nearly the same kid who grew up here.

On the field, he’s a relentless worker who sets a goal and then figures out the quickest way to make

it happen. Off the field, he stays close to his friends from home and family and, during training camp, would rather race home to the other side of Green Bay to spend 20 minutes with his wife and son before curfew than anything.

In a way, they’re the same thing.

Bulaga creates priorities and loyalties, and nothing else matters.

When he married fellow former Iowa athlete Abbie Mumpower in 2013, many of his Packers teammates were there but it was his McHenry County friends who stood up with him. His brother Bill was his best man while a grade-school friend Patrick Noonan and high school friend Devin Kusek, along with former Marian Central offensive coordinator Dirk Stanger, were his groomsmen.

“If you were his friend, you were his friend,“ said his father, Joe. Now, like then, he made sure to keep his profile low. In college, he

stayed up late, but to be a designated driver for teammates. Now, he’d rather pick up takeout food and head home, where he can be himself, instead of going out to eat and being Bryan Bulaga of the Green Bay Packers.

He’s like that in everything he does. A guy who sees himself as an everyman excelling in a celebrity profession.

•••

T

he year Bryan Bulaga wanted to quit football, he felt like a glorified tackling dummy.

He was a seventh-grader on the eighth-grade Sunday league Raiders and, for the only time in football-playing career, he sat the bench. Occasionally he would play, one time even at fullback, but for the most part he was his teammate’s punching bag, stuck on a team without his classmates.

FOOTBALL: CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 42, BLOOM 12

Understanding Fangio as tricky as his defenses

Offensive line powers productive running game

By JOE STEVENSON CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake South offensive tackle Kevin Amren saw it coming and was thrilled with the realization.

As Amren and his linemates prepared for Bloom, he was convinced the Gators were going to have an eventful day.

“We were practicing our schemes, and pushing our guys and coming out with fire in our stomachs,” said Amren, the Gators’ 6-foot-5, 290-pound senior. “We were really getting guys going and telling the running backs

we will push for you and you guys will see big holes.”

Running back Corey Sheehan and fullback Kyle Leva could not have been more appreciative. There seemingly was room all game as South ran for 329 yards in a 42-12 nonconference football victory Saturday at Ken Bruhn Field.

“I felt good about our linemen. We just brought the intensity every play and it felt really good,” said Sheehan, who rushed 27 times for 183 yards Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com and four touchdowns. “I’m very confident in our team right now.

“I got beat to hell every week,” Bulaga said. “Every day of practice, the guys are 20 pounds bigger and they’re all faster.”

But instead of quitting, Bulaga vowed to not let it happen again.

“It lit a little bit of a fire underneath him,” said Joe Kielbasa, Bulaga’s coach that year.

From the time he was 3 months old, Bulaga’s size was off the chart for his age, from being a striper who wasn’t allowed to play outside the tackles many weeks in Raiders football to Marian Central, where teammate Jack Gilleland says the defense took a photo together and Bulaga was tallest by almost a head.

“I always laugh because you see all the big guys on (the Packers’) O-line, you look at them in the huddle and he’s still the biggest one,” Gilleland said.

By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com The time is almost here for Vic Fangio’s next great defensive rebuilding test, but if you really wanted to give him what he needs Vic Fangio to succeed in Chicago, you’d lock him in that office at Halas Hall back in the spring, where all he had was a Power-

Point, some Xeroxed playbooks and about 45 expectations to shatter.

You’d do it because hope is a lingering thing these days, and in a city celebrating the 30-year anniversary of arguably the greatest defense ever, the architect of the NFL’s best unit of the past four years has become the embodiment of it. Time felt limitless in those meetings, and it rarely does that in the Not For Long league. Clocks run on everything in this sport, from

JON STYF AND TOM CLEGG

FACE OFF

Crystal Lake’s Bryan Bulaga and the Green Bay Packers open the NFL season at the Bears at noon on Sunday. Sports editor Jon Styf spent the past few months working on a story on Bulaga for Sunday’s edition. He and assistant sports editor Tom Clegg discuss:

Styf: The worst part about trying to write an all-encompassing story is everything you have to leave out. The best story I didn’t include was from Bulaga’s youth baseball days on his dad’s team. He hit a homer and, with a pack of Good & Plenty rattling in his back pocket, he ran around the bases like he was riding a pony. He got to the dugout and his dad told him that he can’t show up the other team like that. It never happened again. He still can hit ’em out, which he proved in a softball home run derby with Packers teammates. But those just didn’t fit into the story well, so they were cut.

Clegg: It’s pretty cool that we get to write about a Crystal Lake native who not only plays in the NFL but is a key player on one of the league’s best teams.

Reading your story, Bulaga

sounds almost too good to be true. Didn’t anyone give you any dirt on this guy (besides that egregious Good & Plenty incident)?

Styf: The closest I got was when people said they weren’t claiming he was an angel, but he was an all-around good guy. The overall point was, despite becoming an NFL success, he’s stayed closest with people from here. His best friends live here. That’s why it was important to include the recent Marian stuff. It wasn’t about bringing up the arguments again, and it was tough to try to fairly encapsulate them in three sentences, it was about showing Bulaga’s loyalty to the guys who spent so much time trying to help him when he was here.

Clegg: It’s too bad he’s had a falling out with the school after former assistant Dirk Stanger was passed over to replace Ed Brucker as head football coach. It means there’s much less of a chance the current Marian players will get a chance to see and talk to Bulaga. In the past, he always made it a point to stop by the school when he was in town, but my guess is those days are over.

Styf: It definitely sound-

Green Bay Packers’ Bryan Bulaga (center) reacts after winning the team’s home run derby June 22, 2010 during NFL minicamp in Green Bay, Wis. ed like that to me, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be around. He’s made an effort to spend time with kids here when he visits, whether it be his mom’s school (Glacier Ridge) or his grade school (St. Thomas) or the Crystal Lake Raiders.

One of the coolest parts of writing it was how open everyone was with me.

Bulaga spent more than an hour answering questions one day at training camp,

his parents spent longer and his mom rounded up a bunch of photos for us.

His former coaches and teammates did too. I even stumbled on the story that Brucker was now working as Woodstock’s defensive coordinator because I called him for this Bulaga story and simply asked what he was up to now. But the part that showed Bulaga’s influence here the most was when I asked Crystal

Lake Central offensive lineman Wyatt Blake if he remembered the day he met Bulaga at Steve Spoden’s house. He did, of course, and sent me a photo his dad had kept from that day, telling me the impact it had on him. I showed the photo to Bryan and he knew who Wyatt was, from reading our stories. He makes an effort to stay in touch because he cares.

R-B grad Clary rewarded with scholarship at Illinois Richmond-Burton graduate Tim Clary had to fight just to get on Illinois’ football roster. After enrolling at Division III Dubuque his freshman year, he decided to transfer to Illinois with no guarantees. He earned a walk-on spot and battled for playing time over the next two seasons. Before this year, his hard work was rewarded when he was surprised on the practice field with a scholarship.

I had just sprained my AC joint two days before practice.

I really wasn’t supposed to practice that day.

They kind of held me out. All of the sudden, they needed me to play one Tim Clary play. They were like, “Hey, Clary,

I’M JUST

SAYING AS TOLD TO MIKE DEFABO mdefabo@shawmedia.com

come in here and run this one route.” So I went in there and ran that route.

They threw me the ball.

And Clayton, the walk-on before me who earned a scholarship, pulled a bag out of his helmet. He handed me it. I couldn’t really open it at first. I was shaking so much. It was surreal at the moment. I didn’t imagine receiving a scholarship that day.

Right after, I saw my mom out there bawling her eyes out in the stands. That moment,

right there, just made my life at the time. Right now, that’s my proudest moment, seeing my mom up there crying, just knowing how proud she was of me.

My teammates all loved it.

They were all supportive.

I’m pretty sure everyone came up to me and congratulated me. Everyone is 100 percent supportive. They are my brothers, so they’re going to love it, too.

It means the world. It’s great to get that burden off my parents and not have to pay that tuition. It’s great that people recognize that I’ve made huge strides to get to where I am. But, ultimately, the thing that means the most is winning the Big Ten championship. That was just a little step in this journey that we’re going on.

When I came to Illinois, I was really just trying to live out a dream. Going to a small

school first, playing football, it was fun. But no kid grows up wanting to play Division III football. That summer after I left Dubuque, I just said, I either make it or I don’t. If I do, then I continue a dream. If I don’t, I told myself I was alright with not playing football. I was going to a good school at Illinois.

It was kind of like a win-win for me, at the time. I was either going to a good school and not playing football. Or I got to continue the dream.

When I first got here, I played scout-team right guard, because I wasn’t good enough to play tight end yet. Going in, it was sort of surreal. I was in the trenches against these guys who are getting drafted first, second, third round. They were just beating up on me. I remember those first two months, no one knew my name. I’m just that scout-team guard who

is too big to be a tight end.

That first spring that I was here, I got to show what I could do. Just going in, you

have to have that mindset of having that chip on your shoulder. You’re not liked as a walk-on. Preferred walk-ons are the ones who are told they can come here and be on the team. I had to come here and try out and earn it.

The scholarship doesn’t change a thing. I still feel like I have a chip on my shoulder. I came here to do one job. That was to win football games. I have the same goal now.

U.S. OPEN

Pennetta wins her 1st Grand Slam title at U.S. Open, won’t return

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press NEW YORK – After winning her first Grand Slam title at age 33, while seeded 26th, by beating the woman who beat Serena Williams, Flavia Pennetta provided this U.S. Open full of surprises with one last twist.

After meeting her opponent, Roberta Vinci, at the net for a long hug – both from the southern heel of Italy’s boot, they were childhood friends, then doubles partners and roommates as teens – Pennetta let Vinci in on a little secret that would soon be shared AP photo with the world.

Flavia Pennetta celebrates after beating Roberta Vinci on Saturday Pennetta decided about a during the women’s championship match of the U.S. Open tennis tour- month ago she would be retiring after this season, and this nament in New York.

would be her last appearance at Flushing Meadows.

Talk about going out on top.

In one of the unlikeliest major finals in women’s tennis history, Pennetta beat Vinci 7-6 (4), 6-2 in the U.S. Open final at Flushing Meadows on Saturday, then revealed during the trophy ceremony that she is ready to hang up her racket.

“This is how I say goodbye to tennis,” Pennetta said as her fiance, tennis player Fabio Fognini, captured the scene with his phone’s camera. “I couldn’t think to finish in a better way.”

Later, Pennetta clarified that she plans to enter two tournaments in China over the next month, and the season-ending WTA Finals in Singapore, if she qualifies. But

she definitely won’t be back at the U.S. Open.

“Why? Because sometimes it’s getting hard for me to compete. ... If you don’t fight every week in the same way I did today, it’s going to be, like bad. ... And I don’t have ... this power anymore, sometimes,” Pennetta explained. “I mean, with this – winning today – my life is perfect.”

She is the oldest woman in the Open era, which began in 1968, to become a Grand Slam champion for the first time.

Vinci, who is 32, would have earned that distinction had she been able to follow her stunning upset of Williams in Friday’s semifinals with another victory.

This was the first major final for either participant, and

the first time since WTA computer rankings were instituted in 1975 that both U.S. Open women’s finalists were ranked outside the top 20 (Vinci is 43rd). Pennetta entered the tournament with only a 17-15 record this season. Vinci was 20-20, in 2015, and 40-43, in majors for her career.

They grew up 40 miles apart in coastal towns in Puglia, a region on the heel of Italy’s boot-shaped peninsula, and have been facing each other on court for two decades – with the stakes much lower, of course. They shared laughs and tears in the locker room Friday while watching a video of a TV interview they did back in 1999, when they won the French Open junior doubles title as teenagers.

Schools confront projected drop in participation and the number of girls golfers has been less than 10 for the past six years. This year, the Rockets began the season with four golfers.

To fund sports with fewer athletes, athletic director Pat Elder said budgeting has not been much of a problem.

“Our budgeting is done yearly,” Elder said. “We try to design it in a way that meets the needs of our programs. We figure out what we need and cover and adjust those things in our school budget.”

According to Elder, R-B girls golf coach Brandon Creason “does a good job of going out and recruiting and getting young girls involved in the sport.”

By LINDSAY EFFLANDT lefflandt@shawmedia.com Within the next five to 10 years, participation numbers in high school sports are projected to drop. With the decline in participation in recreational sports and the common desire among younger athletes to switch to travel sports, the projection is a cause for concern among local high school coaches and athletic directors.

Despite the projection, many local schools have not experienced much of a decrease to this point, and those that have attribute it to natural fluctuation.

At Richmond-Burton, the cost for one girls golfer to compete last year was almost $1,300,

mond-Burton, Jacobs makes an educated guess where the numbers are going to fall for equipment and other costs.

“We have to budget it out with the school budget and the district budget,” Bauer said.

“As far as how we would budget for lower numbers, I do not know. It hasn’t come across our desk yet.”

At Woodstock High School, the participation numbers have gone up. AD Glen Wilson attributes a lot of that to the athletic department’s method of student recruitment.

“We have been tracking data and sharing it with students and families,” Wilson said. “The more students that participate, the higher their

GPA is. The trends [at Woodstock] are demonstrating that information. Our parents like to see that and encourage their students to get involved. I’m not saying 95 percent is involved in sports here at Woodstock, but we have seen a slight increase of our students participating in some sport.”

Perhaps the desire to be involved will overcome the projected drop in participation in the future. If not, local athletic directors agree that any budgeting decisions will be dealt with when they are presented.

“We’ll just face those challenges as they come,”Altendorf said. “It could be different for each sport, and different for each school.”

tendorf said. “It’s just something. We really haven’t had to deal with a reduction. We have had two sports that there has been a slight decrease – girls basketball and softball.

Those two sports have declined throughout the area, but that is somewhat cyclical, and typically there is a correlation. If there are less kids, there are less costs.”

Jacobs has not struggled with a decline in participation to this point, either.

“We haven’t seen the trend yet,” Jacobs AD Jeremy Bauer said. “In fact, we have more athletes this fall season than we ever have at Jacobs High School.”

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: PRAIRIE RIDGE INVITATIONAL

Cary-Grove sweeps to championship OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE UNSUNG HERO

Erin Olson Cary-Grove, sr., S

Olson steered the Trojans’ deep offense and was dangerous with quick tips at the net.

Sets lost by Cary-Grove in five matches Saturday

AND ANOTHER THING ...

Of the 15 matches played in the tournament, none required a third set.

By JOHN WILKINSON jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The Cary-Grove girls volleyball team was disappointed last weekend when one dropped match cost it a chance to challenge Marian Central for the Jacobs Tournament title.

The Trojans took out any lingering frustration Saturday at the Prairie Ridge Invitational.

“There was a lot on the line for us, and we were just really, really excited to come out,” C-G senior Delaney Bayer said. “I think [last week] fueled our fire to come out firing every single match.

Nothing was going to stop us.”

The Trojans didn’t drop a set as they went 5-0 on the day to win the six-team

tournament.

“We haven’t won this tournament since 2011, so for us to come in and not drop a set was really exciting,” C-G coach Patty Langanis said. “Our ball control keeps us in every match, and then our setter, Erin (Olson), is always spreading out our offense and getting so many hitters involved.

“But Ali Splitt is so big in the middle, and when we get her rolling she’s just impossible to stop. We rode on Ali Splitt’s back quite a bit today, but we couldn’t have done it at all without our great ball control.”

The Trojans (11-1) seemed to get better as the day went on.

“We’re finding our rhythm right now; it’s getting better each point,” Olson said.

The closest C-G came to losing a set was in its third match against Prairie Ridge. In the first set, the Wolves got within three points at 23-20 and again at 24-21, but Bayer secured the winning point, and the Trojans won the second set, 25-12.

They finished off the five-win day with victories over St. Charles East, 2511, 25-17, and Barrington, 25-18, 25-17.

“I think a lot of it is just them getting used to playing with each other,” Langanis said. “A lot of them are new starting on the varsity, so gaining confidence that they’re actually ready to play in the roll that they’re expected to play in. ... I think that’s what I saw, just a lot of mental growth of them believing in themselves.”

In the final match of the day, Crystal

D-C soccer team rallies past Larkin NORTHWEST HERALD Dundee-Crown was down, 2-0, to Larkin at the end of the first half in boys soccer Saturday but came back with three second-half goals to win the nonconference match, 3-2, in Carpentersville.

Lake Central beat Prairie Ridge, 26-24, 25-21. With the win, the Tigers (9-5) finished 4-1, and the Wolves (7-3) went 3-2.

“I was very happy with how our team performed this weekend,” Central coach Lisa Brunstrum said. “ Especially after our tough loss on Thursday night (against Huntley), where we kind of really fell apart in that third set, we didn’t have good ball control.

“We talked a lot yesterday in practice about our serve-receive and about our hitters in transition, different plays that we really wanted to execute this weekend that we weren’t able to execute Thursday night. So I was very, very happy with our ball control and the execution there at the end, especially here in the last match after a long tough day.”

Sox use 7-run 4th to cruise

By SARAH TROTTO The Associated Press CHICAGO – Adam Eaton had three hits, Carlos Sanchez hit a two-run double, and the White Sox used a seven-run fourth inning to beat the Minnesota Twins, 8-2, Saturday night.

Trevor Plouffe had two hits and an RBI for the Twins, who began the day one game behind Texas in the race for the second AL wild card.

Jose Quintana (9-10) settled in after allowing two runs in the first. He threw five scoreless innings after that and has allowed two runs in 13 innings over his last two starts.

The Sox finished with 15 hits and have won six of nine.

Tommy Milone (8-5) gave up seven runs – four earned – and eight hits in 32⁄3 innings, his second-shortest start of the season.

He was 3-0 with a 0.87 ERA in three previous starts against the White Sox. Aaron Hicks scored on a passed ball in the first inning to give the Twins the lead after he drew a walk, stole second and advanced on first baseman Jose Abreu’s error.

Plouffe singled to drive in another run.

Quintana has allowed 26 runs in the first inning this season, tied for most in the majors with teammate Jeff Samardzija.

The Sox’s seven runs in the fourth matched a season high and were the most the Twins have allowed in an inning this season.

The Sox sent 11 batters to the plate and Trayce Thompson had two of their six hits while the Twins committed two errors in the inning. Thompson led off with a double and scored on Alexei Ramirez’s single.

After Plouffe committed a throwing error at third base on Geovany Soto’s bunt, Carlos Sanchez hit a two-run double for a 3-2 Sox lead. Eaton followed with an RBI single, Melky Cabrera had a sacrifice fly and Thompson hit an RBI single. The final run scored on reliever Blaine Boyer’s throwing error to third base.

The Twins loaded the bases in the eighth before Zach Duke got an inning-ending double play.

J.B. Shuck hit an RBI double in the bottom half.

TRAINER’S ROOM Twins: All-Star closer Glen

Perkins played catch from about 90 feet, the first time he threw a baseball since he injured his back on Sept. 1. The Twins will see how he responds, but they hope he can pitch from a mound soon. “He comes back and he’s healthy, we’ll find a way to have him contribute,” manager Paul Molitor said.

Sox: RF Avisail Garcia left after two innings due to back spasms. Thompson moved to right field, and Shuck replaced Thompson in left.

UP NEXT

Right-hander Kyle Gibson (910, 3.87 ERA) will start for the Twins against Sox left-hander Chris Sale (12-8, 3.31) in the series finale Sunday.

CUBS

‘Remarkable’ rookies

No slowing Cubs’ Schwarber, Bryant, Russell

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com PHILADELPHIA – As usual, most of these industrious Cubs were back in the video room Saturday, hard at work looking for answers that only deep study of game film might reveal.

Was the base wet? Did first-base coach Brandon Hyde trip Kyle Schwarber as he made his turn? Did Schwarber actually eat any dirt when he went down face-first during what was supposed to be an uneventful home run trot during the second victory in the Cubs’ doubleheader sweep in Philadelphia Friday night?

“We were watching it again today with him,” said Hyde, laughing at one of the trademark moments for this young, upstart Cubs contender as it closes in on a first playoff berth in seven years. “I keep getting calls from people asking if I tripped him.”

Schwarber, who was drafted only 15 months ago, had just hit his man-sized second home run in as many pitches seen in the game Friday night when he took a bad step across the bag at first and became a kid again.

“It was hilarious,” teammate Kris Bryant said. “It’s just like we’re so young and we don’t really care about anything. Seeing him do that – go big, first pitch, hitting a homer and then first pitch in his second at-bat. … We’re so young. It’s just what we do.”

Face-plants and all.

Maybe that’s how all these rookies keep doing all these big things for these fast-maturing contenders.

They just keep swinging the bat, playing the game and not bothering to notice where they’re going.

“They’re just playing the game,” Hyde said.

“It’s not letting anything get to them and they’re really enjoying it, which makes it a lot of fun.”

Schwarber, playing Kris Bryant in only his 52nd bigleague game Saturday, was at it again – giving the Cubs an early lead with a moon-shot homer on another first-pitch swing, against Jerad Eickhoff.

That’s three in two nights, 16 this season – with 42 RBIs. His pair of homers Friday already marked his third multi-homer game.

“This game is hard, and these guys are performing every night,” Hyde said.

“It’s phenomenal.”

It’s the whole rookie crew. Addison Russell, the second baseman in April, turned shortstop in August, started hitting home runs in recent weeks – including a huge, three-run shot in a series-opening statement victory over the Cardinals in St. Louis on Monday.

Bryant, the rookie third baseman, who has played more outfield in the last week, delivered four RBIs in the doubleheader Friday – breaking the Cubs’

rookie record while reaching 90 in just 130 games.

Bryant also hit his 24th homer of the season Friday, catching the Dodgers’ Joc Pederson for the rookie lead this season – just five days after he hit the longest home run by a major-leaguer this season, off the new left-field video board at Wrigley Field.

“I wouldn’t say I’m surprised, but it’s pretty remarkable,” second-year starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks said of all the rookie firepower helping the Cubs get into playoff position down the stretch. “You would think maybe they’d take a step back here or there, but they just keep hitting.

“It’s unbelievable.”

Bryant (April 17), Russell (April 21) and Schwarber (June 16) all made their big-league debuts this year.

Hyde spent nine seasons with the prospect-rich Miami Marlins’ organization before joining the Cubs.

He said what this class of Cubs rookies is doing “surpasses” anything he had in Miami. “The volume of them, at one time,” he said. “These guys are so talented that it’s scary.”

“I’m sure the league will figure us out, and we’ll struggle here,” Bryant said.

As long as they keep getting up when they fall.

“They’re continuing to play the game like they’ve been playing it their entire life,” Hyde said, “like they’re not even noticing it. Which is really cool.”

PHILLIES 6, CUBS 5

Asche’s HR in 9th spoils Cubs’ comeback The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA – Cody Asche didn’t mind the mess.

Asche hit a walk-off, tworun homer with two outs in the ninth inning to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-5 victory over the Cubs on Saturday night.

Hector Rondon (5-4) got the first two outs of the ninth

before walking Erik Kratz.

Asche followed in the pitcher’s spot and drove the first pitch into the foul pole in right field to help Philadelphia win for just the fifth time in the last 19 games.

“It’s been a while since I drove one like that,” Asche said. “It felt good, for sure.”

Asche was mobbed by his teammates at home plate

and doused with water. He got a bucket of fruit punch dumped on him along with a shaving cream pie in the face during a postgame TV interview.

“Those are always fun,” he said. “You don’t really care what happens. I’ll take that every day of the year.”

Ken Giles (6-2) pitched 11⁄3 scoreless innings, striking

out three, to earn the win.

Kyle Schwarber hit his third homer in two games, a solo shot in the third for the Cubs. The Cubs dropped to three games back of Pittsburgh for the top NL wildcard spot with their second loss in their past nine.

Philadelphia took a 5-1 lead with five unearned runs with two outs in the seventh.

South (2-1) notched its second consecutive victory Saturday, and, like it did the previous week at Cahokia, the defense delivered with four interceptions. Safety Drew Murtaugh had two pickoffs for the second consecutive game.

“We’re reading coverages well; our scout players are really helping us out,” Murtaugh said. “We wanted to drop back into cover-4, so on deep passes we could cover that easier.”

The relentless running game, along with the Gators’ strong run defense – the Blazing Trojans gained only 57 yards on 29 carries – forced

SPORTS 5

Bloom (0-3) into passing situations most of the second half, so South’s defenders knew it was coming.

Leva, a sophomore, rushed 14 times for 146 yards and South’s other two touchdowns.

The Gators scored on their first two possessions, lost a fumble on a high kickoff, but got the ball right back on Murtaugh’s first interception and punched it in again.

Amren, Dylan Kornhauser, Trevor Keegan, Quinn McCoy and Enok Dragon led the way for the Gators’ best offensive output this season.

“The more Keegan [a freshman] and Amren play together [on the left side], the better they’re going to get,” Gators coach Chuck Ahsmann said.

“Part of it is the kids learning to play with each other a little

bit.”

For linemen, games like that are about as good as it gets.

“Knowing those other guys on the line are plowing downfield with me, and the running backs are running through our holes, there’s no better feeling,” Amren said.

The Trojans had few answers as South’s line moved people out of the way and Sheehan and Leva gouged the defense for huge yards. South almost doubled its 196 total yards from last week’s win.

“They were just executing,” Bloom coach Tony Palombi said. “[South’s] kids are doing a great job executing their plays. You could see [on video] the execution in their plays and how they run hard. Unless you perform at that level, this is what’s going to happen.”

Huskies start slow, roll Murray St. leads, 7-6, before NIU begins to click

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NO. 9 NOTRE DAME 34, VIRGINIA 27

Thrilling Irish win, but devastating loss QB Zaire breaks ankle, out for season

By HANK KURZ Jr. The Associated Press CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Notre Dame keeps winning games and losing players.

Whether the ninth-ranked Fighting Irish can keep it up will depend on whether their replacements keep putting forth golden efforts.

Quarterback DeShone Kizer came in for the injured Malik Zaire and threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Will Fuller with 12 seconds left Saturday as the No. 9 Irish beat Virginia, 34-27.

The stunning victory was “bittersweet,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. Zaire will miss the rest of the season with a fractured ankle, making it the second week in a row a player expected to help carry the offense went down and his replacement stepped in and starred.

“Now, Deshone has to run our football team and we feel good about it,” Kelley said, even as he acknowledged Kizer lacks experience.

“He’s got great weapons around him, and we saw that tonight,” Kelly said.

The Fighting Irish (2-0) lost top running back Tarean Folston to a knee injury last week against Texas and found

“When I beat him and I saw the ball in the air, it was like it was up there for a million years.”

Will Fuller Notre Dame receiver, on his TD catch to beat Virginia a strong backup in C.J. Prosise, who ran for 155 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown, against Virginia.

Notre Dame squandered a 26-14 lead and fell behind when Virginia (0-2) scored with 1:54 remaining. With Zaire out, Kizer came to the rescue on the final drive. He ran 4 yards for a first down on fourth-and-2 from the Notre Dame 28, and later found the speedy Fuller behind Maurice Canady.

Fuller said he got Canady to bite on a double move, allowing him to run free.

“When I beat him and I saw the ball in the air, it was like it was up there for a million years,” Fuller said. The receiver also beat Demetrious Nicholson for a 59-yard TD in the second half and finished with five catches for 124 yards.

Nicholson said the final touchdown was difficult to

watch.

“You always want to just try to freeze time and go back and rewind, but you can’t,” he said.

The game drew more than 58,000 to Scott Stadium, many of them in Fighting Irish green, and when the final gun sounded, the team gathered on the field for an impromptu celebration to the delight of the crowd.

Those same fans had been silenced only minutes before as Matt Johns completed a 34yard pass on third-and-15 to put the ball at the Irish 1, and then Albert Reid took it in on the next play to give Virginia a 27-26 lead.

“What a tough way to lose a football game,” Virginia coach Mike London said.

Johns threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third for Virginia, taking back momentum after Notre Dame opened a 26-14 lead. The Irish were seemingly one more score from putting the game away and sending fans for the exits, but instead, Johns led a sixplay drive to his 4-yard TD run.

Notre Dame started to take control in the third quarter, after Virginia drove to the Irish 15 and wound up settling for a 43-yard field goal try that missed.

DeKALB – For the second time in as many weeks, the Northern Illinois football team had to overcome a slow start.

The Huskies trailed early before pulling away in a 57-26 victory over Murray State on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Huskie Stadium.

“It’s always a concern when you get off to a slow start,” NIU coach Rod Carey said. “Every coach in America wants a fast start, great middle and strong finish. We have the ability to do that. We haven’t done that yet. We have to put our money where our mouth is and get it done.”

In the season opener against UNLV, the Huskies trailed, 173, in the first half before rallying for a 38-30 victory.

The Racers – an FCS team – led early in the game, taking a 7-6 advantage on a 6-yard touchdown pass from KD Humphries to Nick Taylor with 51 seconds left in the first quarter.

“We didn’t get the fast start I was looking for, but you have to give credit to Murray State – they’re a well-coached ballclub,” Carey said. “They came out and did some things, for the second week in a row, that we hadn’t expected so it took us a little bit to make adjustments on the offensive side.”

With the Huskies (2-0) ahead, 13-10, in the second quarter, the Racers (1-1) had a chance to retake the lead but NIU defensive back Paris Logan came away with an interception in the end zone with

3:40 left in the first half.

“It was a dumb call on my part,” Murray State coach Mitch Stewart. “We tried to get a double move on [Logan]. ... I thought that was where the game changed.”

Junior quarterback Drew Hare had his second straight game with more than 300 passing yards for the Huskies.

He finished 29 for 38 with 358 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions – becoming the first Huskies quarterback to throw for 300 yards in consecutive games in at least 15 years.

The Huskies outgained the Racers, 643-373, in total offense and rushed for 254 yards on the day. Carey noted the Racers played with a heavy mindset to stop the run. Other than a 49-yard run by Aregeros Turner, the Huskies had 78 rushing yards on 17 carries in the first half.

“With our commitment to the run, we sort of expect everybody to do that,” Carey said of the Murray State defense.

“It’s how they do it that’s different week to week.”

NIU junior wide receiver

Kenny Golladay continued his hot start to the season, catching eight passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns – including a 55-yard score in the third quarter. Sophomore tight end Shane Wimann had five catches for only 27 yards but had two touchdowns.

“Him and Desroy (Maxwell) have a good skill set,” Carey said of Wimann, who has three touchdowns on the year. “You like to use that. He can get up there and block real well and he has catching ability.”

Junior running back Joel Bouagnon, who rushed for 152 yards and three touchdowns against UNLV, had 52 yards and two touchdowns against Murray State. Jordan Huff scored on a 46-yard run down the left sideline in the fourth quarter and freshman DJ Brown led the Huskies with 55 rushing yards on 10 carries.

Defensively, Mayomi Olootu had a 42-yard interception return for a touchdown in the final minutes of the game. Mycial Allen also had an interception.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ILLINOIS 44, WESTERN ILLINOIS 0

Big 1st half holds up for Illini

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – A season ago, Illinois games against Youngstown State, Texas State and others that Big Ten teams are expected to coast through turned into nail-biters.

On Saturday, the Illini (2-0) put together some proof they can handle the teams they’re supposed to, blowing out Western Illinois, 44-0, a second straight easy win after the 52-3 demolition of Kent State in the opener.

But even in a shutout win over the FCS Leathernecks, Illinois showed cracks. The Illini turned the ball over four times and struggled to run much of the game against a limited Leathernecks defense.

“It’s a lot more positive going out there trying to fix things when you win, 44-0,” Illinois coach Bill Cubit said. “We’ve got a big one coming up, and we’ll see where we’re at.”

The shutout was Illinois’ first since a 44-0 win over Charleston Southern in 2012.

“We’ve got to figure out some things out offensively, because the offensive performance today was not good,” Western Illinois coach Bob Nielson said.

Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt was 33 of 46 passing for 316 yards and a touchdown, as well as one interception. Geronimo Allison, known as G-Mo in the locker room, was Lunt’s favorite target with eight catches for 124 yards.

“G-Mo did a great job,” Lunt said. “I trust him so much.”

Lunt had 240 yards by halftime, and Illinois carried a 30-0 lead into the break.

The Illini also scored on special teams. Jaylen Dunlap blocked a Nathan Knuffman punt with just under three minutes left in the second quar-

Knuffman had two punts blocked a week earlier against Eastern Illinois.

Western Illinois’ offense ended the first half with five punts, a pick and a single first down.

The Leathernecks held the ball for a skimpy 6:25 of those first 30 minutes.

The Leathernecks were coming off a 35-3 win over fellow FCS school Eastern Illinois.

But the step up to a Big Ten team was a struggle. The Leathernecks finished the day with 141 total yards. One play midway through the third quarter summed up Western Illinois’ offensive frustration.

After scooping up an Illinois fumble, Western drove into Illinois territory. But the opportunity to cut a 30-point lead ended when quarterback Trenton Norvell looked deep to receiver Lance Lenoir but instead threw straight at Illinois safety Taylor Barton. It was Barton’s second interception of the day.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NORTHWESTERN 41, EASTERN ILLINOIS 0

Wildcats roll to most lopsided win since 1970

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press EVANSTON – In the opening week of the season, Clayton Thorson showed he could run.

In the second week, Northwestern’s redshirt freshman quarterback showed he can throw the ball, too.

Thorson threw his first career touchdown pass and ran one in himself for the second straight game to lead Northwestern to a 41-0 rout of Eastern Illinois on Saturday.

Justin Jackson and Warren Long also rushed for scores, as the Wildcats (2-0) had their way on the ground and in the air against the Panthers (0-2) and rolled up their biggest margin of victory since 1970.

Thorson completed 11 of 16 passes for 152 yards, including a throw to Austin Carr,

who ran in his first collegiate touchdown off a pass to complete a 44-yard play early in the second half.

“Something you want to do is establish the running game,” Thorson said. “When that happens, it opens a lot of other things with the passing game and I think that’s what we did today.”

The Wildcats ran up 496 yards, including 344 on the ground, with Thorson distributing the ball effectively to several teammates.

“It is nice to know you can hand off the ball and run for 344 yards,” Thorson said.

“It’s great. The guys up front (offensive line) did a good job and those running backs obviously did a great job.”

Coach Pat Fitzgerald thought Thorson showed he can make smart, effective choices.

“There’s a lot of things we need to im-

prove on offensively, and one them is throwing the ball,” Fitzgerald said. “But what I though was most impressive today about Clayton was when he did get out of the pocket, his decision-making was excellent.

“He didn’t try to force anything.”

Matthew Harris intercepted Eastern Illinois’ Jalen Whitlow twice. His second pick, with 1:08 left in the third quarter, resulted in a wide-open 71-yard touchdown return.

Jake Mitchell added a pair of field goals as Northwestern followed up on a tight 16-6 upset of then No. 21 Stanford last week by limiting Eastern Illinois to 138 total yards and 70 on the ground. The Panthers never advanced deeper than Northwestern’s 28-yard-line and were held to eight first downs as the Wildcats held an opponent without a touchdown for a second straight game for the first time since 1958.

AP Top 25 roundup

WISCONSIN 58, MIAMI (OHIO) 0 MADISON, Wis. – Joel Stave threw for 236 yards and three scores, and Wisconsin’s dominating defense had three interceptions in the Badgers’ 58-0 victory over Miami (Ohio) on Saturday to win Paul Chryst’s home debut as head coach.

Rob Wheelwright had two touchdown catches for Wisconsin (1-1), and Dare Ogunbowale had 112 yards rushing and a touchdown in place injured starter Corey Clement.

He wasn’t needed against the overmatched RedHawks (1-1).

Stave was 19 of 30 before leaving in the third quarter with Wisconsin leading 44-0.

Playing receiver and safety, Tanner McEvoy became the first Badger to record a catch and interception in the same game since 2003. McEvoy’s 41-yard interception return set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Taiwan Deal for a 27-point lead with 6:32 left in the second quarter.

NO. 6 AUBURN 27, JACKSONVILLE STATE 20 (OT) AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn dodged an upset that would have ranked with the biggest in college football history, riding Melvin Ray’s touchdown catch in the final minute and Peyton Barber’s overtime scoring run for a 27-20 victory over Jacksonville State on Saturday.

Barber, making his first start at tailback, ran for 125 yards.

The most important came on his 4-yard scoring run to cap No. 6 Auburn’s first possession in overtime. Troymaine Pope’s 5-yard touchdown run with 5:38 left gave the Gamecocks a 20-13 lead.

Jacksonville State (1-1) lost its bid to become the first FCS team to beat a ranked FBS team since Aug. 31, 2013, when Eastern Washington beat No. 25 Oregon State, 49-46. An Auburn loss would have compared with No. 5 Michigan’s loss to Appalachian State on Sept. 3, 2007.

Auburn’s Jeremy Johnson threw two interceptions, giving him five in two games. Auburn (2-0) also was hurt by a lost fumble by running back Roc Thomas, ending the Tigers’ attempt to answer Pope’s go-ahead touchdown. After the Tigers moved to the 20, Thomas fumbled with about 3 minutes remaining. Hamish MacInnes’ 17-yard punt gave Auburn the ball at the 31 with 2 minutes remaining, and Ray’s leaping 10-yard catch in the right corner of the end zone with 39 seconds left in regulation saved Auburn.

NO. 1 OHIO STATE 38, HAWAII 0 COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ezekiel Elliott had three short touchdown runs, and Ohio State overcame a slow start to score a flurry of late points against Hawaii.

Elliott scored on 1- and 3-yard runs in the first half, and added a 1-yarder with about 9 minutes left for a 24-0 lead.

The Buckeyes (2-0) added two more touchdowns, with safety Vonn Bell scooping up a fumble and running 14 yards less than 2 minutes later, and Bri’onte Dunn running for another score.

Paul Harris, a Columbus native, ran for 46 yards on 14 carries for Hawaii (1-1).

BOWLING GREEN 48, MARYLAND 27 COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Matt Johnson and Bowling Green’s high-tempo offense are dangerous enough without extra possessions. Combine the two, and you get Saturday’s fourth quarter.

Johnson set career highs with six touchdowns and 491 passing yards, the defense forced four turnovers and Bowling Green pulled away for a victory over Maryland.

The win is Bowling Green’s second in as many seasons against a Big Ten foe, and its first on the road against a Power Five conference opponent since 2008.

The Falcons (1-1) made three late interceptions, with Denard Turner swiping two and Clint Stephens snatching the other, in a game delayed 55 minutes at halftime for inclement weather.

MINNESOTA 23, COLORADO STATE 20 (OT) FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Defensive tackle Scott Ekpe stripped running back Dalyn Dawkins on the first play of overtime and Ryan Santoso kicked an 18-yard field goal, giving Minnesota a win over Colorado State.

The game was dominated by defense until the final minute of regulation.

After converting just 4 of 17 third downs, the Gophers (1-1) converted a fourth-and-6 pass play from their 40 on their way to the go-ahead touchdown with 55 seconds left – a 22-yard pass from Mitch Leidner to KJ Maye that put Minnesota ahead 20-17.

PENN STATE 27, BUFFALO 14 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Penn State recovered from a sluggish start and outlasted Buffalo 27-14 through heavy rain at Beaver Stadium on Saturday.

True freshmen Brandon Polk and Saquon Barkley each ran for touchdowns for Penn State (1-1) Christian Hackenberg completed 14 of 27 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown and Joey Julius kicked a pair of field goals in the 27-14 win.

Buffalo quarterback Joe Licata tossed touchdown passes to Ron Willoughby and Marcus McGill. But the Bulls struggled to move the ball into the red zone for most of the afternoon. Buffalo (1-1) punted nine times, turned the ball over on downs once and Licata was intercepted by defensive end Carl Nassib in the second quarter.

PURDUE 38, INDIANA ST. 14 WEST LAFAYYETTE, Ind. – Austin Appleby threw four touchdown passes Saturday, including three of 50 yards or more during the first half, leading Purdue to a 38-14 victory against FCS opponent Indiana State.

Appleby, who was intercepted four times during the Boilermakers’ season-opening loss at Marshall, two of which were returned for touchdowns, redeemed himself against the Sycamores (1-1), completing 12 of 18 passes for 234 yards and the aforementioned three TDs during the first 30 minutes, helping Purdue (1-1) snap a seven-game losing streak.

The junior finished 20 of 34 for 289 yards, becoming the first Purdue quarterback to throw four TD passes in a game since Danny Etling in 2013 in a loss at Indiana.

WASHINGTON STATE 34, RUTGERS 30 PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Luke Falk led a 10-play, 90-yard touchdown drive, finding River Cracraft with an eight-yard strike with :13 left to lift Washington State past Rutgers, 37-34 Saturday.

Falk threw for 468 yards and four touchdowns.

IOWA 31, IOWA STATE 17 AMES, Iowa – C.J. Beathard threw three touchdown passes, including the tie-breaker to Riley McCarron with 2:14 left, lifting Iowa to a 31-17 victory over Iowa State on Saturday.

Jordan Canzeri’s fumble deep in Iowa State territory had thwarted an earlier drive by the Hawkeyes (2-0). But their defense forced the Cyclones (1-1) to punt, Desmond King returned it to midfield and Beathard took the Hawkeyes to the decisive score, finding the 5-foot-9 McCarron in the back of the end zone from 25 yards out.

King’s interception gave the ball right back to Iowa and Canzeri scored on an 8-yard run to finish it off.

The Huskers (1-1) bounced back from last week’s loss to BYU on a Hail Mary with a resounding victory over their opponent from the Sun Belt Conference. South Alabama (11), in its third year as a Football Bowl Subdivision program, dropped to 0-7 all-time against teams from the Power Five conferences.

Spartans hang on Michigan St.’s 4th-down stops prove key

By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press EAST LANSING, Mich. – Fittingly, Michigan State needed to hold one more time on fourth down against Oregon’s always-dynamic offense.

When the pass by Vernon Adams fell incomplete, the Spartans had secured a victory that could be awfully crucial by the time this season ends.

Connor Cook threw for two touchdowns, and No. 5 Michigan State held on to beat No. 7 Oregon, 31-28,Saturday night in college football’s marquee game of the week. The Spartans stopped the Ducks four times on fourth down, including one key stand in the second quarter near the Michigan State goal line.

The Spartans (2-0) led for most of the second half, and it was 31-21 before Oregon’s Vernon Adams threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Byron Marshall with 3:25 remaining. After a Michigan State punt, the Ducks (1-1) drove to the Spartans 33 before Adams overthrew Marshall, who had beaten his defender.

The Spartans then sacked Adams for a loss of 10, and his fourth-down pass was incomplete.

LJ Scott ran for two touchdowns for Michigan State, and Aaron Burbridge caught eight passes for 101 yards and a touchdown.

It was the first time two teams in the AP top 10 met at Spartan Stadium since 1966,

when No. 2 Michigan State and No. 1 Notre Dame played to a 10-10 tie. Cook threw for 192 yards and Scott ran for 76. Madre London added 103 yards rushing for the Spartans.

It was tied at 14 after Bralon Addison returned a punt 81 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter, but Michigan State took the lead again on Scott’s 6-yard touchdown run. A 38-yard scoring run by Scott made it 31-21 with 10:51 remaining.

Adams nearly rallied the Ducks. His scoring pass to Marshall marked the 70th consecutive game Oregon had thrown a TD pass, breaking a record the Ducks had been sharing. Texas Tech had a streak of 69 games from 2006-2011.

But Michigan State held on at the end, and now the Spartans have a big win on their resume as they try for a spot in college football’s four-team playoff. Michigan State still has to deal with Ohio State in the Big Ten, of course.

Oregon drove 75 yards in 13 plays on the game’s first possession, taking the lead on a 2-yard touchdown run by Royce Freeman.

The Spartans answered with an even quicker TD. London broke free for a 62-yard run on Michigan State’s first offensive play, and Cook threw a 12-yard scoring pass to Josiah Price.

What looked like an offensive showcase in the making quickly simmered down.

Michigan State’s Michael Geiger missed a 28-yard field goal attempt later in the first quarter, and Adams threw an interception.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: TOLEDO 16, NO. 18 ARKANSAS 12

Ex-’Bama QB lifts Rockets

By KELLY P. KISSEL The Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Despite having had games in Little Rock for more than eight decades, the Arkansas Razorbacks played as though they were in unfamiliar surroundings Saturday by stumbling into mistakes that took a shine off the Southeastern Conference’s vaunted West Division.

Toledo quarterback Phillip Ely, a former backup at Alabama, threw for 237 yards and the three-touchdown underdogs upset Arkansas, 16-12.

“I don’t think people expected us to come down here and, No. 1, even compete, 21-point underdogs,” Toledo coach Matt Campbell said. “I think our kids believed the entire time that we had a chance.”

Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen threw his first interception since last Nov. 1 – after 134 attempts. He misfired on two passes from the Toledo 16 in the final 6 seconds, moments after hitting the crossbar on a fourth-and-goal from the Toledo 4 to kill another drive.

Each of the SEC West’s seven teams were ranked this week, part of the record 10 SEC teams in The Associated Press poll. Auburn recovered earlier Saturday to beat Jacksonville State, but Arkansas had no such luck,

NO. 3 TCU 70, STEPHEN F. AUSTIN 7 FORT WORTH, Texas – Trevone Boykin threw for 285 yards and four touchdowns in a little more than a half, Aaron Green ran for two scores and TCU beat lower-division Stephen F. Austin.

The Horned Frogs (2-0) won their 14th straight home opener under Gary Patterson since losing to Northwestern State of the FCS in his Amon Carter Stadium debut as head coach in 2001. The Lumberjacks (0-2), facing the highest-ranked opponent in school history, dropped to 0-9 against Big 12 teams.

NO. 10 GEORGIA 31, VANDERBILT 14 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nick Chubb ran for 189 yards, Isaiah McKenzie returned a punt 77 yards for a touchdown, and Georgia beat Vanderbilt in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

Sony Michel had a 31-yard touchdown run and the Bulldogs (2-0) shook off a sluggish start that included linebacker Lorenzo Carter’s ejection for targeting and a shanked field goal.

Vanderbilt (0-2) pulled to 24-14 and recovered an onside kick with 4:30 left, but Jake Ganus intercepted Johnny McCrary’s pass in the end zone.

NO. 11 FLORIDA ST. 34, SOUTH FLORIDA 14 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Dalvin Cook ran for 266 yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries to help Florida State beat South Florida.

Cook had the second-highest rushing total in school history and the first 200-yard game since Sammie Smith had 212 yards against Tulane in 1988. Greg Allen set the school record with 322 yards against Western Carolina in 1981.

Florida State improved to 2-0, and South Florida dropped to 1-1.

NO. 12 CLEMSON 41, APPALACHIAN ST. 10 CLEMSON, S.C. – Deshaun Watson threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns in Clemson’s his first game since allACC receiver Mike Williams fractured a bone in his neck.

Clemson got a 15-yard interception return for a touchdown from defensive tackle Carlos Watkins and a 23-yard run from Wayne Gallman to move to 2-0 for the fifth time in six seasons.

The Mountaineers (1-1) had a seven-game winning streak snapped.

NO. 15 GEORGIA TECH 65, TULANE 10 ATLANTA – Justin Thomas passed for two touchdowns and ran for another to help Georgia Tech romp to another dominating victory.

Thomas went to the bench late in the third quarter with the Yellow Jackets leading 44-7.

NO. 16 TEXAS A&M 56, BALL STATE 23 COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Kyle Allen threw for 126 yards and three touchdowns in the first half and Texas A&M rolled past Ball State.

It was the perfect party to celebrate the first game after a $485 million redevelopment of Kyle Field that increased its capacity to 102,733, making it the largest stadium in the Southeastern Conference and No. 4 in the nation.

A field goal by the Cardinals (1-1) on their first drive cut the lead four. The Aggies (2-0) then reeled off 42 straight points, helped by a defensive score, to make it 49-3 at halftime.

NO. 17 MISSISSIPPI 73, FRESNO ST. 21 OXFORD, Miss. – Chad Kelly threw for 346 yards and four touchdowns, three to Quincy Adeboyejo, in Mississippi’s victory over Fresno State.

Kelly was sharp from the outset, leading the Rebels (2-0) to a 28-0 lead over the Bulldogs (1-1) after one quarter. He completed 20 of 25 passes overall.

BEARS

Bears vs. Packers at a glance

Pick of captains says a lot

Newcomers to team take responsibility to be leaders

By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com Antrel Rolle played three seasons with the New York Giants before he was named a captain. It took him less than six months to become a captain on the Bears. He hasn’t even played a real game yet.

“To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect,” the three-time Pro Bowl safety said. “Obviously, these guys see something in myself. I like to be held accountable.

I think it puts that much focus on the game. It allows you to understand that you have a much bigger role.

“You don’t have to say much. But just go out there and lead by example and play ball between the white lines. Because that’s what it all boils down to.”

The overhaul of one of the worst Bears defenses in the 94-year history of the franchise is in full swing at Halas Hall. General manager Phil Emery and defensive coordinator Mel Tucker were fired in January.

Veteran leaders Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs were not re-signed. Cornerback Tim Jennings was cut – leaving Shea McClellin as the last remnant of Lovie Smith’s defense.

The hiring of coach John Fox, a former defensive coordinator, made it clear defense was a priority. The

Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com

The Bears’ Shea McClellin (from left), Antrel Rolle and Pernell McPhee try to stop the Dolphins’ Bobby McCain during a preseason game Aug. 13 at Soldier Field. Rolle and McPhee, both NFL veterans in their first season with the Bears, have been named captains. hiring of Vic Fangio and converting to a 3-4 defense made it clear the Bears didn’t care about how much money they invested in Jared Allen or that the team was built for a 4-3 alignment. This team needed as clean a slate as possible.

The election of veteran newcomers Rolle and Pernell McPhee as defensive captains last week was the latest sign of just how much of a fresh start this team needs. Doug Buffone played eight years with the Bears before he was named captain.

Truth be told, there weren’t a lot of options.

With Jennings gone, only five players are left with more than one year with the Bears: defensive end/outside linebacker/inside linebacker McClellin (40 games, 20 starts), strong-side/weakside/middle linebacker Jon Bostic (29 games, 17 starts), defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff (16 games, 15 starts), cornerback/special-teams ace Sherrick McManis (39 games, one start) and reserve defensive end Cornelius Washington (15 games, zero starts).

Rolle at least has three Pro Bowl appearances, started on a Super Bowl-winning team with the

Giants and was a two-time captain with the Giants in 10 NFL seasons. But McPhee has started just six career games – none since 2012 – and now is a captain.

Is that some sort of record?

“It’s an honor,” McPhee said. “It shows that my teammates have a lot of respect and look at me as one of the guys they’ll follow.

“You could ask the guys in Baltimore, the last two years, they’d say, ‘Phee was one of the leaders even though he wasn’t a captain.’

I was always one – I’ve just never had the ‘C’ on my chest. I’m comfortable with [the role].”

With all due respect to the leadership qualities of Rolle and McPhee, their selection says more about how much of a rebuild this is on defense. This is just the beginning. More than likely, more changes are in store.

“Well, it’s a challenge,” Fangio said when asked how this rebuild compares to others he’s been involved in. “Obviously, they’ve been pretty bad here for two straight years defensively.

We’ve made some changes, but that’s an ongoing process. It’s not an overnight thing. You just have to keep building week to week.”

How to watch/listen: Noon kickoff on Fox (Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Erin Andrews); can be heard on 780 AM and 105.9 FM (Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, Zach Zaidman) Last time they met: Nov. 19, 2014: Packers won, 55-14, at Lambeau Field Key matchup to watch: Matt Forte vs. Packers defense – The only way the Bears can gain an advantage, aside from special teams, is running wild on a Green Bay defense without two defensive linemen (Datone Jones, Letroy Guion) and with new starters at inside linebacker (Sam Barrington, Nate Palmer). Not only has Forte looked to be his productive self all summer, but Jeremy Langford had very impressive runs, plus the staff likes Jacquizz Rodgers and what he brings. If the Bears dominate this matchup, they can score points, control ball possession and keep Aaron Rodgers off the field.

The Bears will win if … : See above.

Run, run, run. This also makes things easier for Jay Cutler, who has been efficient all training camp and preseason and can keep that up with manageable third downs that keep him out of harm’s way.

The offensive line will need to protect better than it did in the preseason. On defense, the Bears will need to find a way to create turnovers and hope that Rodgers’ new receiving corps limits what they can do offensively. Not discussed enough is Eddie Lacy, and the run defense has to be stout and sure tacklers. Getting a big play on special teams, which is very possible against a Packers unit that was extremely shaky in 2014, would also go a long way to a potential Bears upset.

The Packers will win if … : Aaron Rodgers’ offensive line protects him.

The Bears showed weaknesses in the secondary this preseason and Rodgers will certainly look to take advantage. If Pernell McPhee, Jared Allen and Lamarr Houston can get home, it’ll push Rodgers off his spot, but if the Packers give him any amount of time, it could be a familiar scene for Bears fans at Soldier Field. On the other side of the ball, if the Packers stop the run early and put a passing offense in third-and-long situations, that will put a lot of pressure on Cutler and a passing attack without 100-percent healthy receivers, and an air attack that struggled to push the ball downfield in the preseason. Not to mention the weakness on the O-line, another area the Packers can attack to get the win.

“

We knew that Vic had our backs as players. … I think it directly contributed to the fierceness we played with.

Owen Marecic, former Stanford linebacker under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio

SPORTS 9

”

AP file photo

The Bears are hoping new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will help turnaround a defense that has ranked among the worst in the NFL the past two seasons.

Fangio relies on teaching, not screaming, to get points across • FANGIO Continued from page C1 offensive snaps to the hours Fangio has left to do what the Bears brought him here to do: stop Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Those meetings were the first introduction to a coach most players just knew by pedigree: a 3-4 specialist with 27 years as an NFL assistant with four coordinator jobs, the latest featuring four straight top-five finishes in yards allowed in San Francisco. Surely, he’d scream and spit in their faces while calling exotic blitzes, like the Dick LeBeaus and Ryan brothers of the world, a product of a corporate league that is constantly regressing personalities to the mean.

What they got was just different: PowerPoint presentations filled with situational football, narrowing in on tendencies as specific as the left hash of a second-and-6 from the opposing 39; an introduction of his schemes with a list of ways to beat them; and a thought of the day.

For one thought of the day, Fangio listed out the letters of the alphabet with a number assigned to each one: A was 1, B was 2, etc. He showed that if you added up the numbers for the letters in “attitude,” the sum would be 100. He told them attitude is the only element that is 100 percent within their control.

It was in those early meetings that Fangio met Sam Acho, one of a couple of players on the entire roster with 3-4 experience after playing linebacker for the Cardinals the past three seasons.

“Arizona, huh?” Fangio said to him. “Y’all blitzed a lot.”

Acho nodded.

“And I bet you gave up your share of big plays, huh?” he continued.

“That’s why I don’t like to blitz.”

In the coming weeks, Fangio would again and again emphasize the weaknesses of what he does. He told a story from one of his first pro games, when he ran through the tunnel and immediately spotted a cliché ‘D-Fence’ sign in the crowd.

He decided then that he wanted his units to operate like a fence, strong at multiple levels, wrapping a range of grass and protecting it at all costs.

He would need his players to know where the gates were and how to close them.

Defense? This all started to sound more like crisis control.

In the coming weeks, Fangio’s quirky styles came out on the field.

His signature outfit is a crew-neck sweatshirt with sweatpants, all gray, which he wears even when it’s 90 degrees. He says little during plays and after, roaming the sidelines with a wad of tobacco in his mouth as he drums up ideas for tomorrow. When he does approach athletes, it’s sometimes to tell them to try something brand new, mostly because he’s just curious to see how it’ll turn out.

Mostly, he places the onus of speech on the players, begging them to ask him questions when they don’t understand. No question is a dumb one on Fangio’s field, and no idea is too crazy for at least a moment’s consideration. He’s been known to wake up in the middle of the night with an inspiration for a call, and out of fear of forgetting it, he’ll leave a voicemail at his office to listen to and evaluate later.

He’s a calmer coach, players learned in time, but qualifying him is not easy. They’ll debate whether you can apply a term of peace to a guy who seems mentally tortured by something as mundane as a TV timeout. Over time, they’d start to develop their own definitions.

Jared Allen called him “professor-esque.” Ego Ferguson said he’s “a wizard at football.” John Timu said, “If a football game was just the defensive coordinator’s mindset, then I think he’d be undefeated.”

The labels are extensions of the ones from his different stops. His persona was perhaps most startling to players in his one year in college with Stanford in 2010, when he was exposed to college trademarks like hurry-up spread offenses and endover sets, which just created more vessels to experiment. Even at a school known for academics, players coined him “Lord Fangio.” Richard Sherman said he was a “stone-cold killer,” and Shayne Skov called him an “evil genius.”

Stanford was where he began his good cop-bad cop parternship with Jim Harbaugh, who is as explosive as Fangio is methodical. Owen Marecic, who played linebacker and fullback at Stanford and later fullback for a summer with the 49ers, recalled how practices became a battle of wills between the two. A defender would burst through the line for a sack, meeting a fury from Harbaugh over risking an injury, which sparked a random outburst from Fangio, who celebrated the player’s tenacity.

“We knew that Vic had our backs as players,” Marecic said. “… I think it directly contributed to the fierceness we played with.”

In Chicago, the outlook isn’t currently so bright. On Sunday, the Bears will face the NFL’s reigning MVP in Rodgers with a first-time safety in Adrian Amos and a thin defensive line missing the one player Fangio labeled as a sure thing this summer in Jeremiah Ratliff, who is facing a three-game suspension.

This preseason, players received literature that made sure they were well-versed in what they were during last year’s 5-11 campaign: 30th in defense, including 30th against the pass.

“It’s a challenge,” Fangio said of rebuilding this defense. “Obviously, they’ve been pretty bad here for two straight years defensively.”

What strides, if any, come in Fangio’s first year in a new unit will soon be learned, but some players admitted to feeling the difference

over last year’s staff. Ferguson admitted to playing last year without much understanding of the opposing offense. Before he went on injured reserve, Ryan Mundy lauded Fangio’s long-touted coverage disguises, something he said wasn’t here much last season. And before he was cut, cornerback Tim Jennings didn’t hesitate for a moment when asked what Fangio brings that’s new to the defense: “Strategy.”

Even under a defensive-minded head coach like John Fox, the keys to the defense are mostly Fangio’s.

“I don’t think I was going to hire Vic John Fox and say, ‘OK, we’re running the 4-3,’” said Fox, who has run the 4-3 for a majority of his 13 years as a head coach. “You’ve got to let a guy do what he’s accustomed to doing and in many cases how.”

The Bears are placing a degree of faith in Fangio, which in the NFL can either wildly succeed or blow up in their face.

It’s already bitten them once so far, when Fangio urged the Bears to sign his former 49ers defensive end, Ray McDonald, who had had two domestic violence charges leveled against him. The move came against the initial wishes of chairman George McCaskey, as well as a franchise-wide decision to place a premium on character. Within weeks of the signing, McDonald was arrested for another domestic violence incident and was immediately released.

In his only media appearance of the preseason in August, three months after McDonald was sent packing, Fangio accepted blame for the ordeal. He said he was disappointed that the media didn’t come down harder on him than other Bears brass.

The McDonald fallout was just one incident, but it brought about an important question: Could the Bears be placing too much faith in an assistant coach?

But when that assistant coach is in itself a mystery such as Fangio, can you ever really know?

••• If Fangio can at times seem out of place, it’s because of the unorthodox route he’s taken.

The year before he got his first job coaching football, Fangio was merely a student at East Stroudsburg University in eastern Pennsylvania, having left his football career in high school like most dreamers do. He was a solid but undersized safety at nearby Dunmore High School, known for using his instincts to bait receivers into his zone.

None of his four siblings played sports, all later working with numbers at large corporations. His father was never a coach, instead owning his own tailor shop. Fangio had no road map.

But at East Stroudsburg, the football coach, Denny Douds, taught a class on the sport. Suddenly, a kid named Victor was stopping by Douds’ office, sometimes sticking around for hours to discuss football plays he’d seen on TV and ideas he’d have if only he could be in control.

Soon enough, he would be. After graduation, he took a regular substitute-teaching job at Dunmore, his alma mater, and was swiftly asked to become its defensive coordinator.

Feeling in over his head, the young Fangio dug deep in his notes, those questions he threw at Douds, now transcribed into squiggly lines of paper on a desk at lunch duty. With every idea he came up with, he shot to the head coach, Jack Henzes, to ask permission. Finally, Henzes had to tell him: “You know, Victor, I put you in charge of this.”

Ascending from coaching his alma mater to anything much higher was still a lot to ask for, so Fangio made acquaintances where he could, and finally, after he’d moved onto a job with Milford Academy in Connecticut, one paid off. Joe Marciano, now the special teams coordinator for the Lions, played with Fangio at Dunmore and was a video consultant with Jim Mora’s Philadelphia Stars of the USFL when a special teams coach abruptly left.

Marciano took that job, and Mora asked him to just find a friend willing to work his old post, which was essentially to watch films for graveyard shifts with very little pay, sleeping on a couch in front of the office TV and living off meals with the team.

That sounded exactly like Victor.

“He was a young guy who had a pretty good idea of what he wanted to do,” said Douds, still at East Stroudsburg in his 45th year as head coach.

“He would talk with anybody and everybody who wanted to talk football.”

The Stars job would later balloon into a relationship with Mora that would take Fangio to the NFL as a linebackers coach with the Saints – where he’d help popularize the zone blitz while crafting the “Dome Patrol,” the first four-man linebacker unit to be first-ballot Pro Bowlers – and later as a defensive coordinator with the Colts, where Mora would lose his job protecting him.

There was his nature striking out again. His mother, Alice, recalls a story in which Fangio was playing Little League baseball on TV, and the game stopped as he went at it with an umpire, a child challenging an adult about how things were supposed to work. The announcers commented on his advanced knowledge, but there was another part of him coming alive as a young boy.

“He fights for what he thinks is right, and he doesn’t care who he’s fighting with,” Alice Fangio said.

“With Bill Polian, he didn’t hesitate.

Even if it means his job, he’s going to fight.”

In 2001, Polian, then the Colts’ general manager, had wanted Fangio

out of Indianapolis, instructing Mora to release his defensive coordinator after his unit had slipped in the yardage rankings from 15th to 29th in three years. Fangio refused to budge, and so did Mora, and both of them were let go.

It’s far from the only scrutiny Fangio has endured as a coach. The same downward slides happened in Houston and Carolina, both expansion franchises at the time.

He’s said to have long sought a head-coaching opportunity, nearly having one in San Diego in 1997. The biggest gut punch might have come last season, when the 49ers broke their awkward relationship with Jim Harbaugh to hire from the NFL’s most consistently dominant defense – but they went over Fangio to hire his defensive line coach, Jim Tomsula.

Yet Fangio keeps plugging away, now at his 11th coaching stop in 36 years without a single season off. The easy deduction would be that the road has developed in him a thick skin.

But again, with Fangio, it’s hard to really know.

“I guess so,” Alice Fangio said.

“Actually, I never really noticed. … Victor’s not a talker. He’s pretty quiet. He says what has to be said, and that’s it.”

••• Players say he can be quiet around them as well, talking strictly business. Several key Bears defenders had no idea he was such a big Philadelphia Phillies fan or that he spends so much of his time away from football on the golf course. Vic Fangio isn’t much into explaining Vic Fangio, either. He has spoken in two brief media sessions over the past four months, and the Bears chose to not make him separately available for this story.

They don’t know how he reacts during games because he’s not with them then. Fangio coaches from the press box, and it’s there that he’s been known to express himself the most, losing it when the movie he directed isn’t the one he sees on the big screen.

Maybe to understand Fangio best is to not try, to accept that he lives in mystique in a place removed from the game. Perhaps without this ecosystem, a maxed-out high school safety from a nonfootball family wouldn’t be able to do the things he has, such as beat Rodgers and the Packers in each of his four tries.

Fangio is his schemes. To attack those schemes is to attack the way he came up through the world.

Soon, the spread passing of Rodgers and the hard-nosed running of Lacy will present the ultimate first test to those schemes as they fit in in Chicago.

But early next week, win or lose, trust that he’ll be back at Bears practice, having already watched the film over and over again. He’ll hope the players come with their questions again, and he’ll hope to have the answers.

He lives to find those answers.

ing the late college games, hosting a cookout and picking apart blocking technique.

Almost all of Bulaga’s Iowa teammates would make it a point to stop by, even for five minutes, to thank the anchor of their offensive line.

“It was kind of like they were paying respect to the Godfather,” Noonan said.

“It’s just the kind of person he is. He’s the type of guy who does demand respect,” Bill Bulaga said. “… He brings out the best in other guys.”

It wasn’t always like that at Iowa, however. Bulaga moved to Iowa City immediately after graduating from Marian, and his new teammates, well, treated him like a freshman.

“I told him, ‘Your play will earn you respect, then they’ll begin to accept you,’” Spoden said. “They had to give him a hard time. But he just played his way through it.”

By the end of his freshman season, working out with seniors at Iowa’s Pro Day, Bulaga caught the eye of more than just his teammates.

One scout asked who he was and, according to a story told to Spoden, Ferentz responded, “He’s only a freshman, fellas. You’ll be back for him.”

They were, of course, just like Bulaga is for his friends like Noonan.

He’s even got that sense of loyalty tattooed on his biceps in the form of the Polish words “sila” and “pycha,” meaning strength and pride.

Both of those were built at Marian Central by the coaching staff he says helped raise him.

“When a coach sees [talent] and they really harness that and they take you in and make sure that you’re doing all the right things to progress and get better, not just as a player but as a man, too, that means everything,” Bulaga said. “In high school, I was at school most of the time. I was at home for dinner, to do some homework and go to bed. But those guys had me for most of the day pretty much those entire four years.”

So he invited them to the draft with him, and Brucker got to walk down a red carpet in New York City while Spoden “bumped into” Jerry Rice in the hotel lobby and watched Jim Brown walk past.

To a person, they count it as one of the best weekends of their life.

“It was like you were a celebrity,” Brucker said.

Then came the waiting and elation after the phone call from the Packers. Green Bay became home.

Bulaga didn’t go off and celebrate, however. He came home and visited his mom’s classroom.

The kids asked him how much he weighed, what he ate, stood next to him to see how much taller he was and then measured their hand size against his. On one visit, he even squeezed into an elementary school desk and sat there grinning ear to ear.

“Did you grow up a Bears or Packers fan?” they asked.

Neither, he loved Rice and the 49ers.

The same happened after the Super Bowl win, when he went to Spoden’s house for a party for Spoden’s son Carter and some of his Crystal Lake Raiders teammates.

When Bulaga arrived, the young players stood upstairs, blankly staring as they looked down at Bulaga in awe. Then Spoden asked why they weren’t coming down to talk to him, and they wound up throwing the football around in the backyard.

One of those Raiders players, Crystal Lake Central sophomore Wyatt Blake, is now a left tackle in Bulaga’s mold who was recently ranked one of the top 50 prospects in his class in the country by 247Sports.com. He’s even visited Iowa.

“I really remember him being massive and thinking, one day I will be there,” Blake said.

To Bulaga, those things are simple. His friends, family and coaches here him so much. Now, he repays them when he can.

“I have a small circle that I keep very close,” Bulaga said. “Once the trust factor is there and there’s people that you care about like Dirk and coach Brucker or like coach Spoden or Noonan or Kusek.

“Those guys, that tight circle, you keep those guys close. They’re there for you, you’re there for them.”

t started more than two years ago.

Marian Central athletic director Drew Potthoff a few new coaches for the freshmen and sophomore level football teams. Brucker wasn’t pleased, saying he wanted to pick those, then have the AD approve, as he had in the past.

Then Potthoff hired all-sport athletic strength and conditioning coach Chris Leathers in the spring of 2014, in an attempt to give all sports access to the same program.

But that meant the football coaches’ program, the one Bulaga and his teammates had trained in, was over.

That upset the coaches more, saying their key fob access to the weight room was even shut off, though Potthoff says they were never locked out.

The divide grew and eventually Brucker said he had enough, resigning last fall with a 98-34 record in 12 seasons after Marian made the Class 5A state quarterfinals again.

Bulaga’s former coaches were unhappy, so Bulaga was unhappy.

“Brucker, probably the nicest guy,” Bulaga said. “... he followed all the guidelines and he was a by-the-book guy. For him to say (he couldn’t work there anymore) is eye-opening.”

For years, Bulaga made it a point to visit and be involved behind the scenes at Marian. He would lift in the weight room with the players, then talk life.

He even attended a 2012 Hurricanes playoff game during the Packers’ bye week, bringing his Super Bowl ring, which Brucker tried on just before running onto the field.

Bulaga helped where he could, even financially, and had discussed ways to fundraise for a new field.

But he says none of that will happen now, feeling the school mistreated his mentors.

Bulaga hoped his school would hire Dirk Stanger as Brucker’s replacement. But they didn’t, and Stanger left immediately, joining Spoden as an offensive assistant at

St. Viator. Bulaga’s loyalty left with them.

“Dirk Stanger was the right person for the job, and that was that,” Bulaga said. “There were Division I athletes coming out of that program since I left, every year. I don’t think many schools in the area can say that. To clean house on a program that has, for pretty much the majority of the time, been successful is a shame.

“I’m supporting the kids on that team, but I cannot support that staff or the decision-makers. There’s nothing that they can do right now to garner that relationship back. It’s not a good relationship. There’s no contact. I don’t even know anybody in that school anymore.”

•••

W

hile some relationships end, others have begun.

On April 17, as Bulaga held his son, Declan, in his hand for the first time, he knew his life had changed forever.

“Before we had Declan, you’re really just worried about yourself and your wife and your family,” Bulaga said. “Now, having a child and your responsibility level, you’re taking care of another person that, right now, cannot take care of himself.”

During football season, he knows he’s in for long days on the job, and most of that responsibility then falls on Abbie, or help they get when family is in town.

That’s why the decision to resign with the Packers was easy. It feels like home, it’s near family, and there’s plenty of trust in the team that locked him up for five more years and $33.75 million.

When Bulaga was drafted, he said he wanted to buy a truck, get a big dog and pay for a nutritionist and chef.

Now he’s got all four, including two huge bullmastiffs named Cammie and Oliver, and a new home on The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida, where he can spend time with another of his more recent loves, golf. He and Bill use their competitiveness on the golf course now, but are best friends off it.

“The football stuff is great, but he’s got the rest of it figured out, too,” Spoden said. “He’s always had that level-headedness. He’s got a beautiful wife and beautiful child.

He has a few toys but, for the most part, he’s living a very grounded life.”

Bulaga’s first major test with the Packers came as a surprise, entering at right tackle in place of an injured Mark Tauscher. To that point, he had never played on the right side of any offensive line.

“Flipping the whole playbook in my head and adjusting to a new position, it was a little tough,” Bulaga said. “... The first few practices were ugly. It didn’t look good.”

The first game there, facing Washington’s Brian Orakpo, wasn’t perfect either. The defense tried to attack him and, according to Pro Football Focus, he gave up three hurries to Orakpo.

SPORTS 11

Bulaga became youngest player to ever start in a Super Bowl • BULAGA

Continued from page C10 But Bulaga quickly improved, becoming the youngest player to ever start in a Super Bowl and finished it with the title, celebrating with Abbie and then his parents on the Cowboys Stadium turf while his sister, Kim, said she got lost in the stands trying to find a way to the field. Eventually, she stopped and let out tears of joy amongst thousands of strangers.

When two injuries – a hip

and then an ACL tear – ended his 2012 and 2013 seasons, the Packers stuck with him.

Bulaga stayed in Green Bay through the hip injury but moved to Bradenton and rehabbed at IMG Academy for the second.

“It’s just tough to watch.

I hate watching,” he said.

“Then the ACL happened, and I couldn’t just do another year of watching. I watched them every Sunday when I was in Florida. I would text the guys after the game and all that, but I had to get away.

“It was the best move for me

because the rehab went great and my knee recovered better than it was before.”

He worked out every morning and got himself ready for his contract year last season.

“For him, it maybe put things into perspective,” Dirk Stanger said. “He’s a guy who never really had a significant injury, but did a great job overcoming it mentally.

“He knows that, with one snap, this thing could be done.

So it’s key that he’s not being too lavish and actually being frugal with money.”

Not that things will change

on the field.

Bulaga said he and his offensive line teammates, who all returned this season, won’t allow it. They have high expectations and have put in the work to make another run at a title.

“If you locked it up tomorrow, the kid’s career is amazing,” Sayler said. “People don’t understand how hard it is to stay at that level.

“Working with him, he had everything. Smarts, physical ability. You would teach him something once, he would remember it forever. But once you get to that level, almost in

a weird way, there’s luck. You see a bunch of other people around you with great ability, but to get through a season and be able to keep doing it, it’s a credit to him on how he holds his body.”

Since Bulaga was in fourth grade, he remembers monitoring everything he ate for weight purposes.

Then, it was all about staying under the striper weight limit so he could play skill positions for the Raiders.

Now, it’s about doing the right things to make sure he can keep his career going as

long as possible.

“Your body is what you provide your family with,” Bulaga said. “You make money by your body. Now is when it’s most important. You fuel your body for Sunday and take care of it so that, on Sunday, it’s ready to go.”

This Sunday, when he takes the field against the Bears again, will be no different.

Bulaga has one goal in mind: winning. And whether he ends up with a bloody nose or is asked to change positions, the Packers can be confident Bulaga is ready for anything.

Browns cornerback Gilbert Gambling or not, daily fantasy sports faces scrutiny involved in road rage incident

By KIMBERLY PIERCEALL The Associated Press LAS VEGAS – Think wagering $20 to win $1 million by picking a winning combination of NFL players for a fantasy team this Sunday is gambling? The league says it isn’t.

So do fast-growing daily fantasy sports companies like DraftKings and FanDuel that offer the games and advertise with the long gambling-adverse pro football organization.

But as the lucrative NFL betting season ramps up and advertisements from DraftKings and FanDuel are as hard to miss as an extra point, Las Vegas casinos and sports books are feeling like they’re on the wrong end of a double-standard. Traditional sports betting is barred outside a handful of states, including Nevada, but daily fantasy sports is allowed in most of the United States.

Seizing on the disparity, traditional casino operators and sports books are calling for traditional sports betting to be given the same respect.

“Let’s just call it what it is. Americans love to bet on sports,” said Joe Asher, chief executive of sports book William Hill’s U.S. operations.

“They both drive interest in the games and they both should be legal, and taxed and regulated.”

The fantasy industry says it’s already legal and has no interest in being regulated if it comes with a “gambling” label. Even the traditional casino companies and regulators have eschewed the word “gambling” until recently, opting for the more antiseptic “gaming” instead to describe what they do.

Daily fantasy sports and its defenders point to a 2006 law, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, that carved out a specific exemption for “fantasy sports” well before the concept of dai-

Before the rise of daily fantasy sports, the exception was mostly used by top season-long fantasy operators like Yahoo and CBS Sports.

“Thanks to fantasy sports being specifically excluded from laws affecting online sports betting, FanDuel is not illegal in any way. Trust us, our lawyers drive very nice cars so that we can keep it that way,” FanDuel says on its website as its short answer for the frequently asked question, “Is FanDuel Legal?”

Fanduel’s long answer is more complicated, noting it doesn’t operate in several states where its legality is not as clear.

Some regulators and legal analysts have been skeptical of that reasoning because of state laws governing gambling. That’s left casinos on the sidelines, wanting to get involved or support fantasy sports but unwilling to invest or risk billions in revenues that come with highly-regulated casino-resorts. New Jersey regulators even gave the go-ahead to licensed casinos to operate their own daily fantasy sports games two years ago, but no one has done it.

“The exception doesn’t

necessarily get [fantasy sports companies] to where they say it does,” said A.G. Burnett, Nevada’s top gambling regulator, who is working with the state’s attorney general to weigh the industry’s legality.

The federal law applies to processing payments for online gambling to curb online sports betting and, to that end, allows fantasy sports companies to process transactions. But Burnett said it doesn’t pre-empt other laws.

“If a state says fantasy sports is illegal ... the fantasy companies cannot use [the act] as a get out of jail card because it quite simply doesn’t apply,” he said.

So far, there have been no prosecutions challenging the sites’ abilities to legally operate.

FanDuel and DraftKings responded in a joint statement Saturday affirming their belief that they don’t offer “gambling.”

“We are speaking with gaming industry representatives to educate them on the fantasy sports industry as our products are games of skill; fundamentally separate from, and not competitive with casinos and gaming businesses,” the statement said.

CLEVELAND – Browns cornerback Justin Gilbert was not injured after crashing his car into a ditch following a road rage incident with another driver.

Gilbert was cited Friday for failure to “maintain reasonable control of his vehicle” and released by Brunswick, Ohio, police. Gilbert, who had a disappointing rookie season after being drafted in the first round in 2014, is traveling with the Browns for their season opener on Sunday at the New York Jets.

According to police, the Ohio State Highway Patrol received a call about a road rage incident involving Gilbert and an unidentified man. After their cars exited Interstate 71, Gilbert crashed

his car, causing damage. The other driver was given a citation for disorderly conduct.

The police did not say what prompted the interaction between the drivers.

A Browns spokesman said Gilbert immediately informed the Browns about Justin Gilbert the incident, which took place a few hours after the team concluded practice.

The No. 8 overall pick in 2014, Gilbert didn’t produce the way the Browns had hoped last season. He has been inconsistent and several of his teammates have said Gilbert needs to mature on and off the field. He was suspended for the final game last season against Baltimore for being late to a meeting.

Gilbert recently has been sidelined by a hip injury and is listed as questionable against the Jets.

Gilbert’s incident caps a turbulent week for the Browns.

They traded running back Terrance West, their leading rusher last season, last Sunday when general manager Ray Farmer began serving a four-game NFL suspension for sending text messages to the sideline last season. Also, offensive line coach Andy Moeller was suspended indefinitely by the team for his involvement in an assault case still being reviewed by the Berea, Ohio, city prosecutor. And Thursday, the team waived former Oakland quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who had made the club’s 53man roster despite not catching a pass during the preseason.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP: RICHMOND

Kenseth gives JGR 1 more win

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. – Joe Gibbs Racing cemented itself as the team to beat for NASCAR’s championships with a dominating run Saturday night that ended in Matt Kenseth’s fourth win of the season.

The win put Kenseth in a tie with JGR teammate Kyle Busch and six-time champion Jimmie Johnson for the top seeds in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. The 10-race playoff series begins Sept. 20 in Joliet.

Kenseth has won three of the past six races, and JGR has won eight of the past 11.

Committed to McHenry County

Leadership starts with intentions The other day, I walked my freshman daughter through the halls of her new school, mapping out the course she would need to navigate on her first day of class. It brought back a lot of memories: School colors sprinkled everywhere, rows of lockers, the smell of freshly polished floors and the “I can’t wait to get out of here” feeling.

Well, I actually didn’t feel that walking with my daughter, but I sure did in high school. So imagine my surprise when I – being of sound mind and body – signed up voluntarily for four more years in college.

I was not a big fan of school as a kid. My grades were good enough, but I did not put much into my classes other than what was minimally required. But I learned to change my focus from the goal of a diploma or degree to the goal of growth.

If you focus on goals, you may hit the goal – or get the diploma – but it doesn’t guarantee growth. But if you focus on growth, you will hit goals.

Early in my professional career, I became serious about my growth, not as a project but as a process. I read books, listened to tapes and attended workshops, not for a grade but for my personal growth.

I became more deliberate about the people I surrounded myself with, not to look good but to learn more.

Whatever growth and successes I enjoy today have not come in a day.

They rather have developed daily through strategic choices I myself make to invest in.

In his book, “The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth,” John C. Maxwell notes the importance of shifting from being goal-focused to being growth-focused. Growth, he explains, does not happen accidentally.

As the executive director of the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Chamber of Commerce, I work with local business leaders – a central priority to build a culture of transformational leadership. That commitment at its core requires belief that transformation begins in you.

When you grow, your team can grow. When your team grows, your organization can grow. That is why we are designing and developing plans to help business leaders become intentional in their growth.

On Oct. 9, the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Chamber will be a sponsoring partner to bring “Live 2 Lead” to McHenry County. This live-viasimulcast experience at McHenry County College will feature worldclass leadership experts John C. Maxwell, Patrick Lencioni, Valorie Burton and Microsoft COO Kevin Turner.

It is designed to equip you with new perspectives, practical tools and key takeaways.

More than a dozen local businesses and organizations have already reserved seats for their teams. For information, visit www.Live2LeadMcHenry County.com.

It is time for you to stop living by default and start living by design.

Transformational leadership starts with intentional living.

Nine businesses are recognized Sept. 24 for work in community

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Centegra Health System, Sage Products and a half dozen other businesses in McHenry County will be recognized Sept.

24 for its community commitment, as part of a new awards program by the Northwest Herald.

The inaugural Commitment to McHenry County awards honor businesses and individuals who have contributed to the county’s quality of life and have worked to make the community a better place.

Last month, seven judges, mostly from the community and some Northwest Herald staff, selected nine winners for various categories, including overall commitment, community service and giving, workplace, nonprofit and new business of the year.

The winners in each category will be re-

vealed during the Commitment to McHenry County awards ceremony from 6 to 9 p.m. Sept.

24 inside the Crystal Lake Country Club. Interested attendees can view ticket information at nwherald.com/ctmcdinner.

“In my experience, a community builds through the recognition of individual leaders and organizations’ contributions,” Northwest Herald Publisher Kate Weber said. “The Northwest Herald is so pleased to provide a forum for that recognition.”

The largest health care provider in the county, Centegra was selected for numerous awards, including CEO Michael Eesly. The Centegra chief executive officer won the Individual – Compass Award for his efforts with the broader business community in the county.

Medical manufacturer Sage Products in Cary also secured more than one award, along with Exemplar Financial Network in Crystal

Lake.

Founded in 1971, Sage Products has developed a reputation throughout the past decades for its quality workplace and philanthropy throughout the county.

The 35 financial advisers and other employees at Exemplar also have participated in numerous community groups, including the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce and the Court Appointed Special Advocates of McHenry County.

Family owned and operated since 1946, Steffan’s Jewelers in McHenry won one award.

In-Sync Systems and Marvin’s Toy Store in Crystal Lake, Gavers Community Cancer Foundation in Woodstock and social service provider Home of the Sparrow also each secured one award.

Proposed pipeline through Illinois staged ahead of permits

By JAMES MacPHERSON The Associated Press BISMARCK, N.D. – Mountainous piles of steel pipe are being staged across four states in anticipation of building the biggest-capacity pipeline proposed to date to move crude from North Dakota’s prolific oil patch.

But stockpiling the pipe is a gamble for the Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners’ Dakota Access Pipeline, a $3.8 billion, 1,130-mile project that still needs approval from regulators in North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois.

“What the company does is at their own risk,” said Julie Fedorchak, chairwoman of the North Dakota Public Service Commission.

The three-member panel has sig-

naled its approval of the company’s project in North Dakota, the pipeline’s longest leg, but Fedorchak said a final decision is weeks away.

If approved, the Dakota Access Pipeline would move at least 450,000 barrels of North Dakota crude daily through South Dakota and Iowa to an existing pipeline in Patoka, Illinois, where shippers can access Midwest and Gulf Coast markets.

Energy Transfer Partners announced the project last year, just days after North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple urged industry and government officials to build more pipelines to keep pace with the state’s oil production. He said doing so will reduce truck and oil train traffic, curb natural gas flaring and create more markets for the state’s oil and gas.

North Dakota is the nation’s No. 2 oil producer behind Texas. It produces about 1.2 million barrels a day, with about half of it moved by rail.

Recent derailments and fires involving North Dakota crude – including an explosion in Quebec two years ago that killed 47 people – have drawn criticism from lawmakers and the public about using trains to move oil.

Energy Transfer Partners spokeswoman Vicki Granado said the company is optimistic the necessary permits will be obtained in all states, with construction expected to start late this year or early 2016. The company, which has the shipping commitments it needs from oil producers, hopes to have the pipeline running late next year.

Granado said so far Energy Trans-

fer Partners has acquired 72 percent of the easements needed along the route, which crosses 50 counties in the four states. The company has said it would use the eminent domain process to acquire other easements if agreements with landowners can’t be reached voluntarily.

Justin Kringstad, director of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority, said it’s not uncommon for companies to stage pipe while still in the permitting process.

“In order to hit a timeline, they absolutely have to get that material ready in advance with the goal of obtaining permission so construction can start immediately,” Kringstad said.

He said stockpiling pipe ahead of permits usually works out, but

sometimes it can take years for the intended project to occur. Calgarybased TransCanada Inc., he said, has had pipe stockpiled for several years for its multibillion-dollar Keystone XL pipeline, which has been stalled by environmental objections.

That project would move Canadian tar sands oil to Gulf Coast refineries, as well as about 100,000 barrels of domestic oil daily from North Dakota.

Ron Ness, president of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, said he believes the Dakota Access Pipeline will be permitted, in part because it will be safer than moving the state’s crude by train.

“There will always be naysayers but this is a great project, and it will improve safety,” Ness said.

Keep your financial picture focused on value Dear Dave,

I’m trying to get out of debt. I make good money and do consulting for a living. I put about 4,000 miles a month on my car. It’s a 2012 model, and I currently owe more on it than it’s worth.

I’ve considered selling it, but I’m concerned about reliability since I’m on the road so much. Do you have any advice?

– Chantel

Dear Chantel,

Rule of thumb number one when it comes to your finances is you don’t want too much of your financial picture tied up in things that are going down in value. Specifically, no one needs to have more than half of their annual income tied up in things that go down in value.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey You’re a road warrior, so whatever you drive you’re going to destroy. From a business perspective, you need a relatively low-mileage vehicle with good gas mileage that’s reliable and safe. You also want something that’s reasonably comfortable.

Having said that, I would advise doing a lot of research and getting the least in car that meets all those criteria.

Since whatever you drive is going to be worth nothing in about 20 minutes, I’d start setting aside some cash every month as part of a

monthly budget for a newer, better car.

That way, when it comes time to put the old one down, you’ll have a pile of cash to go along with your trade-in.

But even in your situation, Chantel, I would never advise buying a brand-new car or leasing a vehicle.

From a financial standpoint, either of those moves would be just about the dumbest things you could do.

– Dave

Dear Dave,

I live in Pennsylvania, and I’m accepting a new job out of state. My wife and I will be in this new area for at least two years, and we’re not sure if we should rent or buy a house.

– Ron

Dear Ron,

Most of the time, as long as you’re financially ready for such a big investment, buying a house is a good move. But if I’m in your situation, and I’m not sure if it’s a longterm thing, I’m going to rent until I see what the future holds.

It seldom makes a lot of sense to live in a place for two or three years and sell it, unless you get a ridiculously good buy at purchase and are able to sell for retail without any trouble.

Even though the economy is finally, slowly turning around somewhat, I’m not sure that most properties in the current marketplace would go up enough in value in only two years to offset your cost of sale.

You’re in a situation similar to

lots of military families I help. Often, they’ll be stationed somewhere for just two or three years. They’ll buy something, they can’t get it sold, and they end up with rental properties all over the country.

Believe me, that wasn’t their initial plan. Playing long-distance landlord is a pain in the rear.

Rent for now, Ron. Then, if you two decide you like the new job and new surroundings – and it turns out you’re going to be there for a good, long while – start checking out the area for a nice home.

– Dave

Automakers commit to put automatic brakes in all cars

FACES & PLACES

interiors, making the overall package more expensive.

“If technologies such as automatic emergency braking are only available as options or on the most expensive models, too few Americans will see the benefits of this new era,” Foxx said.

Automatic emergency braking includes a range of systems designed to address the large number of crashes, especially rear-end crashes, in which drivers do not apply the brakes or fail to apply sufficient braking power to avoid or mitigate a crash.

The systems use on-vehicle sensors such as radar, cameras or lasers to detect an imminent crash, warn the driver and, if the driver does not take sufficient action, engage the brakes.

The systems could prevent or mitigate an estimated 80 percent of the rear-end collisions that cause about 1,700 deaths and a half million injuries annually, according to a recent report by the National Transportation Safety Board.

There are about 1.7 million rear-end crashes each year in the U.S.

McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce members presented the Chain O’ Lakes Brewing Company, 3425 Pearl St., McHenry, with a plaque during the brewery’s second “Beer-iversary” event last month. The plaque thanked the company for its chamber membership. Owner Curt Ames marked the anniversary with family Sarah, Caroline and Linda Ames along with community members and customers.

WASHINGTON – Ten automakers have committed to the government to include automatic emergency braking in all new cars, a step safety advocates said could significantly reduce traffic deaths and injuries.

Making the technology widely available is part of a new era in vehicle safety in which the focus is on preventing crashes rather than on protecting occupants from their effects, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said late last week.

Foxx’s announcement didn’t specify a timetable for implementing the change.

The automakers are Audi, BMW, Ford, General Motors, Mazda, Mercedes Benz, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo.

The technology is already available in some vehicles, but typically as an option in higher-priced models like Cadillac, Infiniti and Lexus.

They also are often bundled with non-safety features like heated seats or faux leather

Network with Wonder Lake I ask my Chamber members on a regular basis, “How is business?” It seems like such a simple question, but I never receive a simple answer.

The response begins with one or two words – “great, busy” or “slow, hurting.”

The conversation that follows is specific to the business; however, the feelings an owner describes mirrors the feelings of many other business owners in the community.

Although each business is unique, big and small business owners need to realize they are not alone. Small changes can lead to big differences.

One of the most important changes is to commit to advertising and networking every month.

A business with sporadic advertising and network-

CHAMBER NEWS Donna Sullivan ing is using a shortsighted approach, lending itself to sporadic leads, inconsistent success and a poor mindset for long-term success.

A business owner sometimes feels like an isolated job. You’re in charge and responsible for the well being of your business, not only for your customers but for your loyal employees.

When things aren’t going as well as you’d like and when it feels like you’re drowning, fear not.

Many businesses in our community have had the exact experiences and hardships you’ve endured. Each business may have their own trick or tip they use to make

their business as successful as possible.

At the Wonder Lake Chamber of Commerce, we take pride in our businesses.

Our chamber mixers provide a great place for owners to have a drink, get something to eat and meet other business owners who have been in your shoes.

Even better, owners can host their own own mixers.

This allows you to showcase your business, meet and greet new, potential customers.

Interested people can join the Wonder Lake Chamber on Sept. 22 for a mixer at McHenry County College and again Oct. 13 for a mixer at the Home of the Sparrow.

A view from the top of the Billboard ladder Ready for a little musical quiz, just for grins?

OK, here we go: Here are 15 musicians or bands you’ve probably heard of, listed alphabetically.

Rank them in descending order according to how many singles they released that hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In other words, the artist that you think had the most chart-topping singles should be marked No. 1. The artist with the fewest hit singles should be marked No. 15, with all the other artists falling in between.

Pencils ready? Go ahead, I’ll wait.

(Imagine the theme music from “Jeopardy” playing in the background as you work.) __ James Brown __ Jimmy Buffett __ Johnny Cash __ Creedence Clearwater Revival __ Bob Dylan __ The Grateful Dead __ Jimi Hendrix __ The Kinks __ Kiss __ Led Zeppelin __ Bob Marley __ Van Morrison __ REM __ Bruce Springsteen __ The Who For the record, the Billboard Hot 100 chart is the most respected source in the industry to measure the success of a single. The list began in 1958 and charted singles’ success until 1998, when Billboard altered its judging criteria because of changes in the music industry, which had begun to release new songs directly to radio rather than release them as singles. Though Billboard still lists new songs played on the radio, for the purposes of this quiz, we will limit our choices to those songs released as singles before 1998 to keep the playing field level.

Also because there hasn’t been any good music released since 1998 that can hold a candle to any of the artists on this list.

You disagree? That’s probably because you’re younger than 35 and haven’t heard any good music in your adult life – unless you’ve been listening to the classic rock station. Feel free to turn the page.

And pull up your droopy pants.

OK, for those of you still here, the “Jeopardy” music is winding to a stop.

Pencils down. Ready for me to check your list?

And it looks as though…you aced this one! You have them all in the right order!

Well, actually, you can list them in any order at all, because it’s a 15-way tie.

Because not one of those artists or bands had a No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Not a single one.

Neither did Janis Joplin or Otis Redding during their lifetimes – though both of them had a chart-topper in the weeks or months following their untimely deaths.

There were plenty of other artists or groups whose singles topped the charts time and time again, such as Elvis, or the Beatles, or the Rolling Stones. That’s not surprising, is it?

But look at that list once again. As much as you have loved their music, as much as they have provided a sound track for your life through the years, as much as you may find it inconceivable to think of a world without those lyrics running through your head even a halfcentury or more later, none of those artists’ singles could break out on top even a single time.

Lorne Greene (TV’s Ben Cartwright of “Bonanza”) isn’t on that list, because his single “Ringo” made it to the top of the chart in 1964.

So did Terry Jacks with “Seasons of the Sun” in 1973.

And Rick Dees with “Disco Duck” in 1976.

And David Soul, who played TV’s Hutch (or maybe it was Starsky) with “Don’t Give Up on Us,” also in 1976.

But “Margaritaville”? Or “Ring of Fire”? Or “Born in the USA”? Nope.

“Brown-Eyed Girl”? “Stairway to

Heaven”? “Mister Tambourine Man”?

Sorry.

Some artists, such as Creedence Clearwater Revival, released as many as five singles that peaked at No. 2, but even “Proud Mary” couldn’t make the jump to No. 1 in March 1969 – edged out

by Tommy Roe with “Dizzy.”

So the point, I guess, is that getting to the top of the ladder doesn’t always lead where you think it will. Failing to reach the top is no mark of shame or guarantee of obscurity. A lot of us – probably most of us – never will know what it feels like to be No. 1, the top of the heap, in our chosen field of endeavor.

But maybe that’s not as bad as it seems.

Take another look at that list: Losers, each and every one. Just like you and me. But not bad company to hang around with, is it?

Just for grins, I went to the Internet (which knows all things and never lies) and called up the Billboard Hot 100 chart to see who’s up at the top these days. Some guy named Fetty Wap has a song called “Trap Queen” up there. I clicked on it.

Remember how your record player used to sound when you bumped into it while dancing to that great 45 rpm single, and now you had a scratch in the vinyl that played the same musical phrase over and over again every two seconds?

That’s “Trap Queen” by Fetty Wap. Meanwhile, in the video Fetty postures shirtless with his pants drooping down around his possibilities, as scantily clad women behind him count out money in large denominations.

That’s as good as it gets these days, I guess: “Trap Queen,” top of the charts – every bit as fine and lasting a song as “Disco Duck” or “Ringo.”

1922 Allan Herschell Menagerie Carousel debuts at Stade’s Farm

By JAMI KUNZER

T

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

hrough something so elaborate it took 11 years to restore, Vern Stade is reminded of simpler times.

The owner of Stade’s Farm and Market in McHenry spent years looking for the latest addition to his Shades of Autumn theme park and festival, which opened this weekend and runs through Nov. 1.

“There’s just something magical about a carousel ride,” he said.

This isn’t just any carousel. It’s a 1922 Allan Herschell Menagerie Carousel featuring about 30 hand-carved, handpainted wooden animals. Not just horses – pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks and other animals, too.

A wooden carousel like this is rare, as most carousels are made of aluminum or fiberglass, and very few are hand-carved, Stade said. He tracked it down through a broker, buying it from Charles Donahue of Branson, Missouri, who spent more than a decade restoring it.

Donahue plans to visit the Shades of Autumn festival Sept. 19 to see his carousel in action and answer any questions visitors might have.

More online For a video of Stade’s 1922 Allan Herschell Menagerie Carousel, visit NWHerald.com.

“It’s immaculate,” Stade said of the carousel, which visitors can ride for free after paying the Shades of Autumn admission price of $15 for those ages three and older. Children under the age of three are free, and the cost is $10 for seniors ages 65 and older.

Admission comes with unlimited rides on more than 30 attractions, such as a train, mazes, corn play area, duck races, jumping pillow, giant sandbox, inflatables, pedal cars, petting zoo, pumpkin cannon, zip-line and more.

The big attraction this year, though, is the Menagerie Carousel, which, to Stade, is more than a ride.

“It brings back memories of simpler times out of the earlier part of the century when things weren’t so complicated, no computers, no cell phones, not so many problems in the world. At least you didn’t hear about them anyway,” he said. “It brings back memories of simpler days and simpler things in life that made people happy.”

The carousel features 30 hand-carved wooden animals. Stade found the carousel through a trade show in Florida. The original owner spent 11 years refurbishing the structure and animals.

DearAbby Jeanne Phillips

Questions? Visit dearabby.com

Man told to hold his tongue demands apology instead Dear Abby: I was at my brother-inlaw’s house with my husband and our 4-year-old daughter. We were playing our weekly video game, and when my brother-in-law won a round, he shouted a racial epithet.

I asked him not to use it in front of my little girl because if she repeats it at school, she could be suspended, and we don’t use that kind of language in our family.

Now he claims I “disrespected him” and I should apologize to him because it was his house and he can say what he wants. He doesn’t have children of his own.

Who is right here? Is it OK to say whatever you want because it’s your house, or is it better to use some censorship when there are children around? – Wondering in Wyoming Dear Wondering: You did the right

thing. Your brother-in-law should watch his mouth when your daugh-

ter is present. Because he’s unwilling to do that, limit her exposure to him. If she hears him do it again, make sure to explain to her that the expression is one you do not want her to ever repeat.

Dear Abby: I am a 24-year-old waitress who needs advice on how to handle older men when they continually flirt, touch and even ask for hugs while I’m serving them dinner.

I work in an upscale dinner house.

I feel sorry for their embarrassed wives and girlfriends who witness this disgusting behavior.

Waitresses have to put up with this kind of thing for tips. Is there anything I can do to prevent it and still receive a reasonable tip for good service? – Sick and Tired in

California Dear Sick and Tired: Yes. Keep

your sense of humor. Smile a lot, laugh when appropriate and stand out of reach. Most of these men are

harmless. They are trying to be friendly. Those who you find overtly offensive, you should turn over to another server. If the requests for hugs continue, talk to your manager for guidance in handling them.

Dear Abby: My fiancee’s son is gay and recently married. He is 30 and his spouse is 24.

They don’t have much money, so I hosted their wedding reception in my backyard. In addition to all the work involved – getting the food and drinks, preparing the food, preparing the yard and cleaning up – I wound up with $700 charged on my credit card. I have been out of work for the last three months and can’t afford this.

I know tradition is that the father of the bride pays for the reception and the father of the groom pays for the drinks.

In a gay wedding, is the new tradition that Mom’s boyfriend pays

StraightTalk Rick Atwater

while both dads don’t spend a cent?

Both of them work. I’m considering sending them each a polite bill for $300. What do you suggest? – Mod-

ern Man in Pennsylvania Dear Modern Man: I suggest that

you and your fiancee take care of the bill, and ask the grooms to pitch in what they can afford. I don’t think it would be fair or appropriate to expect the new in-laws to pay for anything that wasn’t clearly agreed upon before the wedding reception took place.

To my Jewish readers: Sundown starts Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. This is the beginning of our time of solemn introspection.

“Leshana tova tikatevu” -- may each of us be inscribed in the Book of Life and enjoy another good year.

Mom’s addiction passes on to daughter “Linda” came from a family riddled with addiction problems. Mom was an alcoholic who couldn’t figure out how to stop having children. Her first husband, Linda’s biological father, was a drug addict and meth dealer who left a poorly prepared woman with two kids, no money and a long history of violence, debt and police presence.

It wasn’t unusual for the police to be at the house, even when “Linda” was in grade school. Her sister was two years younger and so “Linda” was the designated caretaker. She could cook a

meal, do laundry, help with homework, put Mom to bed and talk Dad off the ledge by the time she was 9.

Mom seemed to find “husbands” like some people find “valuable” things at garage sales. By the time “Linda” was 15, her mom had been married four more times, each resulting in at least two kids.

She was the oldest of 10, taking care of all of them and feeling alternately resentful and deeply protective of her mom. By this time, Child Protective Services had been involved and four of the youngest already had been

Court Appointed Special Advocates FOR CHILDREN 815-363-5920 www.casamchenrycounty.org

removed from the home.

By this time, “Linda” had started a drinking career of her own. She felt she deserved something to relax, and there was never any shortage of wine around the house. She assured herself she could control her drinking and she did, like she controlled everything else.

Several years later she met a wonderful man who swept her out of her poverty and despair. They married and started a family.

It took some years, but between “Linda’s” uber controlling nature and her husband’s rescuing, “White

Knight” disposition, their child-rearing differences started to be an issue.

“Linda” would micromanage, then get angry when things weren’t going the way she felt they should go. Her husband would rescue the boys from Mom’s wrath and the kids would have their way, leaving Mom and Dad to fight it out. Mom would turn to drinking, and Dad would withdraw and be passive aggressive. This pattern continued as the boys grew, and of the three boys, first the oldest, then the youngest developed addiction issues.

It wasn’t until the younger

son landed in rehab via the court system that awareness of some of the destructive family patterns started to emerge.

It wasn’t until then “Linda” realized she had some healing of her own to do before expecting others in her family to change.

Learning to change takes commitment What makes people change?

How long does it take? What’s the process? As a therapist, I think about this kind of thing quite a bit. After all, one definition of a therapist is “an agent of change.”

It’s easier to document why people don’t change – what keeps us stuck in our usual patterns. For example, for years, I have suspected I am, maybe, just a little bit overweight. Now I am doing something about it, and, for the past three weeks, I have not cheated, even though I have been presented with the usual temptations: sweet rolls in the break room, “snacks” at the poetry class, etc. I marvel at myself. I also ask myself, if I am being honest, “Will I keep this up?”

When people come to me they usually are not looking for any aspect of change for themselves. What they want is to change a situation, circumstance or somebody else. This, alas, never works. For real change to occur, you have to acknowledge you have a problem and the problem, at least in part, bears the imprint of your own fine hand.

You have to be committed. It is not enough to know it is good for you. For change to occur, it must take place on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. What that means is you have to do something. First, you have to stop the behavior.

That means put down the cigarette, stop ordering a beer with your meal, put a restriction on your computer so you can’t access gambling sites, porno sites or whatever site is maintaining the problem. Then you have to substitute alternative behaviors. You chew gum if smoking is the issue; you go to AA meetings if alcohol is the problem; you stay out of casinos and bars with slots if you have a gambling problem, and so on.

Many people get this far and still relapse. I think what is missing is the emotional self-

talk that has to take place. That conversation goes something like this: “Now, Gale. You know how good you are about getting around the rules. Are you willing to go the distance even if you think you know better?”

Listen to that little voice inside. If it is not willing to surrender its will, then you need to keep doing the new behavior and checking in with it until it does. Sometimes it literally takes a crisis of health, such as a heart attack, the possibility of arrest or a spouse who threatens to leave before the emotional self (call it ego, if you like) says the magic word. But even that is not enough.

Sometimes, the change you have decided to make is not really part of your value system.

Perhaps the only time you and your partner have soulful conversations is when you are drinking together. Your value of intimacy outweighs your commitment to stay sober. If you don’t find another way to have heart-to-hearts, you likely will fall back into bad habits.

Hand-in-hand with this process is the mental story you are telling yourself.

A former client of mine told me his wife was going to leave him if he couldn’t control his temper. He spent the first session telling me how she made him angry, how justified he was in feeling this way and how she needed to “back off and stop nagging.”

I said, “Or she could just go ahead and leave and you could be perfectly happy without a wife.”

“Oh.” he said. And then we began.

National Preparedness Month: Time to make plan September, National Preparedness Month, is a time when Americans are reminded of the importance of being prepared and encouraged to take simple steps to be more prepared in their homes, place of work and communities.

In an effort to be prepared for natural disasters, such as floods, tornadoes and even earthquakes, as well as disease outbreaks, such as severe flu, McHenry County Department of Health encourages all residents to take three simple steps: 1.) Make a plan.

2.) Get a kit.

3.) Get informed.

Making a plan is an important step in being prepared for a disaster. Have your family help write the plan and review it yearly to make updates. It is important for you and your family to understand the plan and know where it is located in the event of a natural disaster, severe illness or other emergencies. The plan should include where you will meet if you cannot go back to your house and should list a contact person outside of the area where you live.

For a quick and easy family disaster plan template, visit www.ready.illinois.gov and make your plan today.

Now you are ready to get a kit. During a disaster, local stores may be closed and power may be unreliable.

The best action for you and

your family may be to “shelter in place” in your home.

It is important to be prepared by having enough supplies for your entire family for three days. This should include water, non-perishable food that does not need to be cooked, medications and supplies for your pets.

Avoid the use of candles as a light, because open flames can cause a fire. Instead, add a battery-operated flashlight to your kit, and check the batteries yearly.

For help with building your kit, visit www.mcdhprepare.info.

The final step is to get informed. Learn about the kind of hazards we are at risk of here in Illinois.

Review emergency plans of your workplace, school or other places you spend time.

A great way to be aware of developing situations is by signing up to receive text alerts on your phone. Visit www.mcdhprepare.info, and check out the emergency alert page under “How to Prepare.”

Consider purchasing a battery-powered weather radio. It is a great way to receive weather updates when power is unavailable.

Staying informed during a disaster helps you decide on the best course of action.

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

“THE VISIT”

STARRING: Olivia DeJonge, Ed Oxenbould, Deanna Dunagan PLOT: A single mother finds things in her family’s life go very wrong after her two young children visit their grandparents.

RATED: PG-13 for disturbing thematic material including terror, violence and some nudity, and for brief language TIME: 1 hour, 34 minutes VERDICT: A family get-together starts out strange and quickly enters nightmare territory in “The Visit,” a horror-thriller that turns soiled adult diapers into a motif. Told from a camera-equipped kids’-eye-view, M. Night Shyamalan’s latest is well cast and strong on setting. But the dull thudding that resounds isn’t part of its effective aural design; it’s the ungainly landing of nearly every shock and joke.

Notwithstanding the evidence of Shyamalan’s features since the pitch-perfect “Sixth Sense,” hope endures among fans that lightning will strike twice.

In the wake of bloated recent outings “After Earth” and “The Last Airbender,” that hope takes on a particular fervency with this modestly scaled return to straight-up genre fare. That anticipation will drive theatrical business for the feature, as will the lure of sheer horror fun, at least until word-of-mouth stems the box-office tide. Early in the film, there’s a wonderful moment when a mom’s exuberant clowning shifts to tears.

Played by the terrific Kathryn Hahn, she’s a divorced woman seeing her kids off at the train station. From that point on, the energy, warmth and nuance of her performance is reduced to intermittent Skype sessions – a crucial element to the story, but nonetheless a letdown for the viewer. To give Mom time alone with her boyfriend, teenage Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and tween Tyler (Ed Oxenbould), a serious germophobe and aspiring rapper, have volunteered for a weeklong stay at the Pennsylvania farm of their grandparents. It’s an especially generous offer given they’ve never before met Nana and Pop Pop (Deanna Dunagan and Peter McRobbie).

But there’s more to it than generosity; the camera-wielding siblings, budding auteur Becca in particular, sense an opportunity to make a documentary that uncovers the generational rift between their grandparents and their mother, who left the farm as a teenager, under circumstances she refuses to discuss.

Cinematographer Maryse Alberti captures the sense of a nonstop work in progress, seen through the lenses of the kids’ video cameras and laptop, with reality-style interviews, off-center

LOCAL SHOWTIMES framing and p.o.v. night footage à la “Blair Witch.” Shyamalan uses the various devices to tiring effect, and without conjuring the requisite deep chills. Playing off the winking self-consciousness of the film-within-a-film, there’s a jokey aspect to the feints and shock cuts.

The writer-director’s would-be sendup of down-home country comfort tries to have fun with fairy-tale terrors. The result is almost always mechanical rather than exciting or funny, despite the actors’ layered performances – the self-aware kids, Dunagan’s otherworldly weirdness and McRobbie’s unnerving deadpan. The rural winter backdrop works as a fitting contrast to Mom’s Skype dispatches from her sunny cruise-ship vacation. Within what’s essentially a single setting, Shyamalan and Alberti keep things visually diverse but cohesive, while Naaman Marshall’s clean farmhouse interiors avoid the common trap of over-design. The movie is not without an emotional core, though: It’s Hahn’s mostly absent character, and although she’s called upon to deliver the heavy-handed moral of the story, she manages to make every moment she’s onscreen ring true.

In one of the few gags that connects in this missed opportunity of a film, Tyler utters the names of female singers rather than cursing when he’s upset or disappointed. To borrow that conceit, a fair response to “The Visit” might be “Cher, Rihanna, Dolly Parton.”– The

“A WALK IN THE WOODS”

STARRING: Robert Redford, Nick Nolte, Emma Thompson PLOT: After spending two decades in England, Bill Bryson returns to the U.S., where he decides the best way to connect with his homeland is to hike the Appalachian Trail with one of his oldest friends.

RATED: R for language and some sexual references TIME: 1 hour, 44 minutes VERDICT: The lure of the wild recently has attracted an interesting batch of solitude seekers: Reese Witherspoon (“Wild”), Mia Wasikowska (“Tracks”) and Robert Redford, twice. Two years after “All Is Lost,” Redford has swapped the sea for the woods, and wordless isolation for Nick Nolte. It’s not a bad trade. “A Walk in the Woods” is a broad and congenial comedy about two aged old friends trying to hike all 2,000-plus miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine. The story, taken from Bill Bryson’s 1998 book, might seem like the kind of hokey comedy

When everyone he can think of turns him down, Katz, with whom Bryson had lost touch, calls him up to say he’s game. Profundity isn’t the pursuit of Bryson, Katz and “A Walk in the Woods.”

Director Ken Kwapis (“Big Miracle”), working from the script by Rick Kerb and Bill Holderman, steers it on a well-trod, but pleasant, buddy-comedy path that offers few surprises other than the undiminished appeal of its ambling stars. –The Associated Press
