Good morning, McHenry County ...

Illinois voters must decide on road tax lockbox amendment A reader emailed me late last week asking me about a constitutional amendment that will be on all Illinoisans’ ballot Nov. 8.

“Can you please explain what the proposed amendment below means? Does it say that money collected will be used only for ‘administering laws?’ ” the reader asked. “Shouldn’t it include administering the actual physical work as well?

What is the original wording?”

The wording of the Illinois Transportation Taxes and Fees Lockbox Amendment that she included in her email is no doubt confusing. Voters should know what their “yes” or “no” vote means before deciding.

A “yes” vote would change Illinois’ Constitution to prohibit the General Assembly from using revenue generated from transportation taxes and fees on anything other than transportation-related expenses.

According to the State Journal-Register in Springfield, state lawmakers have diverted more than $6.8 billion in revenue from funding sources such as the state gas tax and drivers’ license

Supporters of the amendment, which includes road contractors and organized labor, call it the “Safe Roads Amendment.” Opponents say that, given the state’s dire fiscal situation, state government shouldn’t handcuff itself by removing the ability to use a specific funding source to pay for expenses that might be deemed more critical.

LOS ANGELES – Donald Trump has some choice words for “Saturday Night Live.”

The Republican presidential candidate tweeted early Sunday morning that the show’s skit depicting him this week was a “hit job.” Trump went on to write that it’s “time to retire” the show, calling it “boring and unfunny” and adding that Alec Baldwin’s portrayal of him “stinks.”

Saturday’s show featured a send-up of the second presidential debate last held last Sunday.

Baldwin has been playing him since the show’s 42nd season kicked off, with Kate McKinnon depicting Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.

1,800+ run and walk through misty morning for Care4 Breast Cancer 5K

By CYNTHIA WOLF

editorial@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Steve Simons sat on the polished wooden gym floor, pulled off one of his black Brooks running shoes and adjusted his sock.

Standing nearby as large speakers vibrated with Zumba music were his wife, Nicole, and their daughters, 16-year-old Allison and 12-year-old Mia. All – like most of the hundreds of others gathered Sunday morning in the Woodstock North High School gym – were adorned in plenty of pink.

“It’s a very good cause,” Steve Simons said of the Care4 Breast Cancer 5K Run/Walk.

The Simons family was among roughly 1,850 participants who soon would take to the damp event course to benefit the Family Health Partnership Clinic, based in Crystal Lake and serving all of McHenry County. Suzanne Hoban, executive director of the clinic, said she hoped that final tallies would show the organization achieved or exceeded its $150,000 fundraising goal.

a railroad on a daily basis, increases costs by $21.4 million, which is equivalent to 2.8 percent over 2016. For instance, one-way tickets would cost 25 cents more, 10-ride tickets would cost $2.75 more, and monthly passes would cost $11.75 more.

Key factors of the 2017 operating cost changes include a projected savings of $9 million in diesel fuel prices in

2016, a projected $11.6 million increase in employee health care costs, and an average 3 percent increase in employee wages. Metra also predicts increases in training, mechanical, materials and service costs.

According to Metra, fares cover about half of the operating budget, with the other half coming from the Regional Transportation Authority sales tax

collected in the six-county region. The $21.4 million in operating cost increases is expected to be countered by $21.8 million that Metra is anticipating to receive from the RTA sales tax in 2017.

The fare increase is expected to generate an additional $16.1 million in revenue in 2017. According to Metra, the additional revenue will be used to fund capital improvement projects.

Libraries gear up for Novel Writing Month Events, workshops, author visits planned throughout county

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com Local libraries are gearing up to support aspiring writers as National Novel Writing Month approaches.

November marks the annual National Novel Writing Month, known as NaNoWriMo. Anyone can participate in the online project, which began in 1999.

Each participant works toward the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel between Nov. 1 and Nov. 30. Online and in-person supports and workshops frequently are offered for participants. Many workshops and author talks will be offered in November at libraries and bookstores throughout McHenry County.

More than 250 NaNoWriMo novels have been published traditionally, including Sara Gruen’s “Water for Elephants,” which later was turned into a movie starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson.

The event is meant to be a low-stress way to encourage aspiring writers – which is right in line with many library goals, said Leigh Ann Porsch, head of marketing and public relations at Huntley Area Pub-

lic Library.

“We feel like the event helps writers develop their skills, discover their own voice and find motivation to keep working,” she said. “It also provides a connection for participants and helps people realize others face the same obstacles.”

Huntley Library will offer a “write-In” workshop from 9 to 11 a.m. Nov. 5 at the library. A liaison will be on hand to offer writing prompts and advice. The drop-in event is open to teens and adults.

Marengo-Union Public Library is offering two talks by local authors in November as part of the movement. This is the first year that the library has participated in NaNoWriMo programming, Information Services Manager Sondra Terry said.

“NaNoWriMo was originally brought to our attention by a Marengo High School student last year,” she said. “It was such an exciting premise that we began looking into what it was all about. It didn’t take us long to know that taking advantage of NaNoWriMo would be a great opportunity to support creativity and encourage community participation.”

Nov. 19. Adela Crandell Durkee, freelance writer and author of “The Fable of Little Tzurie” and “A Ship of Pearl,” will be at the library 6 p.m. Nov. 10.

“The library is looking forward to the visiting authors and expects their excitement over writing to be contagious,” Terry said. “We are confident that patrons will come away encouraged to follow through with their writing endeavors.”

Children and young adults also will have a chance to experiment with writing in November at McHenry Public Library. The library will offer a weekly workshop for second- through fifth-graders at 4:30 p.m. Mondays beginning Nov. 7. Teens and tweens also can participate in NaNoWriMo workshop program beginning at 3:30 p.m. Wednesdays. The first session will be Nov. 2.

“I think for some kids that are interested in writing – and may do something short for school – they might not get that sense of completion,” said Lesley Jakacki, youth services manager at the library.

“This gives them an opportunity to share with other people that write. And it’s over a course of four weeks, so they can work on it at home and bring it back.”

Library offers scholarships for online program to earn high school diplomas, career certificates

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – McHenry Public Library is offering residents a chance to earn their high school diploma and obtain a career certificate through a new program.

Career Online High School is new to McHenry and offered through information database provider Gale, part of Cengage Learning. Reaching Across Illinois Library System is working to make the program available to a number of public libraries across the state, and McHenry Public Library is of the relative few offering current enrollment through a scholarship program.

The program allows people to earn their degrees and obtain a certificate in a variety of different career paths such as certified transportation services, homeland security, child care

“Libraries have been involved in adult education for a long time.

We provide resources for people trying to advance their education and careers on a daily basis.”

Bill Edminister

McHenry Public Library assistant director and education, office management and a handful of others.

The coursework is based online, but the application process can be rigorous and includes interviews and placement tests. Applicants must be older than 21 and residents in the McHenry Library District.

Still, the demand has been high, said Kathy Lambert, the library’s public relations manager.

“We are very surprised,” she said.

“We haven’t really promoted it that far outside the library, so it obviously shows there is a need in this area. It is important for us that people can learn and better themselves.”

The Library bought five scholarship packages for $6,500. Program participants must complete their studies in 18 months, but because previous high school credits may transfer, many people won’t take that long, officials said.

The library already is making plans to budget for more scholarships, said Bill Edminster, assistant director of the library.

“Libraries change lives, and this seems like the perfect way to do it,” he said. “Libraries have been involved in adult education for a long time. We provide resources for people trying to advance their education and careers on a daily basis.”

McHenry County Recorder

7

JOE TIRIO Republican

LYNN GRAY Democrat Why are you the best candidate for McHenry County Recorder?

I believe I am the best candidate for several reasons. First and foremost is the fact that I understand the massive responsibility the office holds. Secondly, because I actually want to do the job of Recorder. I have no political agenda, I see a real and present need for my expertise. Phyllis Walters, who has held the office for 30 years and has fulfilled her duties honorably, is retiring. She maintained the integrity of the office and it’s records to very high standards. I plan to do the same, as well as make improvements wherever opportunity presents itself.

What efficiencies can be created within the office to improve customer service?

There are two areas I would like to investigate. A thing called e-recording “electronic recording” McHenry County already e-records mortgages and a few other documents. I would like to see a day when any document may be e-recorded. Eliminating the need for couriers, or a commute to the Administration Building to visit the Recorders Office. In addition to other benefits of this system.

Then I believe a look at flat fee recording rates is worth doing. All the different fees for recording different sized documents are confusing to the public trying to get their documents recorded.

Interesting question, as some things that improve efficiency do not necessarily improve service and vice versa. While I have some initial thoughts, they come from my personal perspective and I experience the Recorder’s office differently than others may. That’s why I intend to assemble some focus groups early in my time in office to uncover some of those opportunities. This will give me a better picture of our service from the perspective of the different groups we serve; low volume customers, high volume customers, and internal/intergovernmental customers. These groups will also be helpful in determining priorities for initiatives developed from their input as well as other planned projects. I’m particularly fond of the survey implemented by McLean County’s Clerk/ Recorder Kathy Michael. It gives the customer an opportunity to rate the department in a couple key areas, gather suggestions and better understand their needs, the work they do and how they interact with the department. I’d like to implement something like this to measure and compare service delivery as we move through the process.

Do you support merging the Recorder’s Office with the County Clerk’s Office?

I do not support the idea of merging the Recorders responsibilities into another governmental office “The County Clerk’s Office”, thus eliminating “The Recorder of Deeds” position. My opinion is that a study would cost taxpayers money. Money that has no chance of being made back in the form of reduced property tax bills or any other form. I asked the current County Clerk if anyone had asked her about it. She said No one had, but she would not back away from the responsibility.

That she would hire a manager to head the department and she would run the new office as two separate departments. Which you would have to because of the difference in the types of records.

Recorder’s records are “Public” records, that means anyone off the street can walk into the Recorder’s Office and get a copy of any record. The County Clerk maintains “Private” records. You have to prove you are able to obtain copies of birth, death, and marriage records. The County Clerk also holds the elections, which in itself is a heavy work load. There are so many reasons it’s a bad idea, There is not enough room or time to enumerate.

Of course I support it, it’s the cornerstone of my campaign. To clarify, what I intend to accomplish is to eliminate my role; the role of Recorder, and to move the functions and staff so that they are under the control of the Clerk. Initially (and perhaps, perpetually), the Recorder’s Department will remain a distinct department and operate in much the same way it does today. Consolidating multiple departments under one department head may not be something you typically see in the public sector, but it is very common in Corporate America. When businesses face cost pressures, eliminating highly-compensated, non-customer affecting employees is a ‘no-brainer’. My opponent will try to tell you that it is ‘dangerous’. If its so dangerous, how do the other 86 counties in the state manage that have the same structure? She will also tell you that the Clerk will reduce the savings by hiring an administrator once the transition is complete. My commitment to you is that there will be no need for an additional hire when I am done. Whatever administrative function the Clerk requires will be accounted for in the final transition plan.

What other plans do you have for the Recorder’s Office if you are elected?

My full focus will be on maintaining current services and improving those services moving into the future. I am offering to be a public servant and that means doing what is right for the people of McHenry County. This is not a political stepping stone for me, I am passionate about these records and the people they represent. I apologize for the delay. I am doing this all on my own. No campaign manager to help.

By the time I’m finished, the department will be a highly process-driven, well documented organization with an emphasis on quality and efficiency. I intend to drive accountability through all levels of the department and to link performance to reward, within the constraints of the County HR policies. I won’t be satisfied if we aren’t the leader among our peers by the time I leave. We owe an irredeemable debt to our veterans, and I know that, for every Vet in our county, there are probably 10 people that would like to find a way to say ‘Thank you’ for their service. Because of this, I’d love to find a cost-neutral way to implement the “Honor Rewards” program found in other counties. The program creates an ID card for Veterans when they come to the Recorder’s office to record their military records. This card could be shown at participating businesses that would provide discounts or improved services to the card-bearing Veteran. Beyond that, I’d want to use that opportunity to to introduce the Veteran to other community based services like the Veteran’s Assistance Commission, TLS and so on.

First and foremost would be my leadership experience. I’ve been fortunate enough to hold leadership positions with and for some of the world’s most respected companies. In those roles, I’ve demonstrated expertise in areas such as team leadership, human resource management, process improvement, project management, problem resolution, disaster recovery planning and others. Second, I’ve a considerable background in technology. From writing code to setting up servers to being the Technical Director for Ameritech’s Enterprise Help Desk, my experience in technology is both broad and deep. As technology is critical to service delivery in that department, my experience in this regard will serve the people of McHenry County very well. I’ve already reached out to the vendor that provides the technology used in the department and have begun to build a relationship. Third would be my experience managing operations where service quality is critical. I see where the department reports on volumes of work performed and such, but don’t hear much about the quality of service. Service quality management would be a critical focus for me and the rest of the team. Without exceptional quality, neither exceptional customer service, nor efficiency are possible.

To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The Illinois Constitution establishes a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective. The purpose of this document is to inform you of proposed changes to the Illinois Constitution and provide you with a brief explanation and a summary of the arguments in favor of and in opposition to the proposed amendment.

Proposed changes in the existing constitutional amendment are indicated by underscoring all new matter and by crossing with a line all matter which is to be deleted.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ADD SECTION 11 TO ARTICLE IX OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE IX – REVENUE SECTION 11. TRANSPORTATION FUNDS (a) No moneys, including bond proceeds, derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to registration, title, or operation or use of vehicles, or related to the use of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or to fuels used for propelling vehicles, or derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to any other transportation infrastructure or transportation operation, shall be expended for purposes other than as provided in subsections (b) and (c). (b) Transportation funds may be expended for the following: the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, including statutory refunds and adjustments provided in those laws; payment of highway obligations; costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation; and other statutory highway purposes. Transportation funds may also be expended for the State or local share of highway funds to match federal aid highway funds, and expenses of grade separation of highways and railroad crossings, including protection of at-grade highways and railroad crossings, and, with respect to local governments, other transportation purposes as authorized by law. (c) The costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation shall be limited to direct program expenses related to the following: the enforcement of traffic, railroad, and motor carrier laws; the safety of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports; and the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, operation, and administration of highways, under any related provisions of law or any purpose related or incident to, including grade separation of highways and railroad crossings. The limitations to the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation under this subsection (c) shall also include direct program expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of employees of the State’s transportation agency; the acquisition of land and the erection of buildings for highway purposes, including the acquisition of highway rights-of-way or for investigations to determine the reasonable anticipated future highway needs; and the making of surveys, plans, specifications, and estimates for the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways. The expenses related to the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways under this subsection (c) are for the purpose of providing access to military and naval reservations, defense-industries, defense-industry sites, and sources of raw materials, including the replacement of existing highways and highway connections shut off from general use at military and naval reservations, defense-industries, and defense-industry sites, or the purchase of rights-of-way. (d) None of the revenues described in subsection (a) of this Section shall, by transfer, offset, or otherwise, be diverted to any purpose other than those described in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section. (e) If the General Assembly appropriates funds for a mode of transportation not described in this Section, the General Assembly must provide for a dedicated source of funding. (f) Federal funds may be spent for any purposes authorized by federal law.

EXPLANATION The proposed amendment adds a new Section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution that provides revenue generated from transportation related taxes and fees (referred to as “transportation funds”) shall be used exclusively for transportation related purposes. Transportation related taxes and fees include motor fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, and other taxes and user fees dedicated to public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit (buses and rail), ports, or airports.

Under the proposed amendment, transportation funds may be used by the State or local governments only for the following purposes: (1) costs related to administering transportation and vehicle laws, including public safety purposes and the payment of obligations such as bonds; (2) the State or local share necessary to secure federal funds or for local government transportation purposes as authorized by law; (3) the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, and operation of highways, mass transit, and railroad crossings; (4) expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of transportation agency employees; and (5) to purchase land for building highways or buildings for to be used for highway purposes.

This new Section is a limitation on the power of the General Assembly or a unit of local government to use, divert, or transfer transportation funds for a purpose other than transportation. It does not, and is not intended to, impact or change the way in which the State and local governments use sales taxes, including the sales and excise tax on motor fuel, or alter home rule powers granted under this Constitution. It does not seek to change the way in which the State funds programs administered by the Illinois Secretary of State, Illinois Department of Transportation, and operations by the Illinois State Police directly dedicated to the safety of roads, or entities or programs funded by units of local government. Further, the Section does not impact the expenditure of federal funds, which may be spent for any purpose authorized by federal law.

FORM OF BALLOT Proposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution Explanation of Amendment The proposed amendment adds a new section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution. The proposed amendment provides that no moneys derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes, relating to registration, titles, operation, or use of vehicles or public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports, or motor fuels, including bond proceeds, shall be expended for other than costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation, and other statutory highway purposes, including the State or local share to match federal aid highway funds.

You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution.

YES –––– NO

For the proposed addition of Section 11 to Article IX of the Illinois Constitution.

• CARE4 BREAST CANCER 5K

Suzanne Hoban

Family Health Partnership Clinic executive director

Danielle Guerra for Shaw Media

Ten-year cancer survivor Denise Tomlinson of Wonder Lake smiles Sunday while waiting for the start of the 16th annual Care4 Breast Cancer 5K in Woodstock. Tomlinson started participating in the Care4 Breat Cancer 5K nine years ago while she was undergoing chemotherapy treatments and remembers she could barely walk the entire course. were represented among the event’s enthusiastic participants.

The Family Health Partnership Clinic offers low- or no-cost health care, including mammograms and clinical breast exams, to the under- and uninsured. It’s a vital service, said Denise Tomlinson, 48, of Wonder Lake.

Gazing out from beneath bright

pink, glitter-coated false eyelashes, with pink pompoms bobbing on springs attached to her headband, Tomlinson tugged at the right side of her shirt to reveal a pair of boxing gloves tattooed below her collarbone.

“I’m a 10-year survivor,” Tomlinson said, her ink now marking the spot where her chemotherapy port once pro-

truded. “I was diagnosed in November 2006 with stage 2 breast cancer.”

The very next fall, while still feeling weak and sick, Tomlinson participated in her first Care4 Breast Cancer 5K Walk/Run. She’s been present each year since. For the last three years, her son, Ryne Wiley, has accompanied her.

“I was a freshman in high school when she started getting treatment,” said Wiley, now 24. “She’s the strongest woman I know.”

Those who’d like to contribute still may do so at hpclinic.org, where other information about services the clinic provides also is available.

“Even more important than the money is we want to build awareness, and we want to move from awareness to action,” she said. “We want women to talk to their health care providers and get a mammogram if one is recommended.

We want you to bug your mother, your aunt and your sister to get checked.”

Jill Flores, 41, is glad that she did not put off her routine mammogram earlier this year. What followed was anything but routine for the fitness instructor and wife of Woodstock firefighter Joe Flores. She was diagnosed with breast cancer June 18.

“I’ve had a lumpectomy and radiation,” she said. “It was three months from diagnosis to the last day of radiation. I was lucky that everything moved really quickly and that we caught it early.”

Flores said she has participated in the Care4 Breast Cancer 5K Run/Walk for five of its 16 years. This year, however, she arrived not just in support of others, but also with a cadre of champions of her own.

“The support has been incredible – from my fire department family, from my sports and fitness family and from my friends,” she said. “I have about 30 people here with me today.”

Hoban said numerous survivors and women in various stages of treatment

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – A peaceful, methodical approach when dealing with others will be necessary this year.

Keep everything in perspective and observe matters before taking action. Certain changes will give you greater insight as time passes. You should identify and then head in the direction that suits you best. Time is on your side.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t overspend or take on too much. Setting limits and being disciplined will bring the best results. Keep things simple and strive to maintain your good reputation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Boost your confidence with a challenge or novel experience. A little physical adventure will spark your imag-

ination and give you insight into your ultimate goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Refrain from judging others in order to avoid being judged yourself. Share only what you feel is necessary to protect against misinterpretation. If you do your best, you will have no regrets or complaints.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Keep your thoughts to yourself until you know where everyone stands. Make an effort to keep the peace and concentrate more on self-improvements, not on trying to change others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Refuse to let emotional issues take charge and ruin your plans. Stay focused on getting things done and negotiating your position in a calm, calculated

and thoughtful manner.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Trust in your experience to help you make a good decision that will influence your personal life and reputation. Work on self-improvement instead of blaming others for your failures.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Change can be good, but only if you bring it about for the right reason.

Don’t let anger or frustration drive your actions.

Work through problems with grace and aplomb.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Traveling, engaging in physical activities and exploring new interests are favored. Don’t rule out someone or something different. You’ll learn from the things you experience. Romance will brighten your day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Keep personal matters a secret. Some of the information you are given

will be invalid. Dig deep and get your facts straight before you share your opinion, or your credibility will be damaged.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Listen before you react. Situations will turn sour quickly. Confusion and excess will lead to unwanted change. Avoid indulgence, arguments and rash decisions. Offer love and understanding, and avoid conflict.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You’ll have plenty of good ideas and the platform to implement them. Having someone influential in your corner will add to your success. Ask for or call in a favor.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you look inward, you’ll find answers. Taking a retreat or sharing your feelings with someone you care about will help improve your life and encourage good decisions.

OBITUARIES CHARLES C. BARR JR. Born: January 28, 1942 Died: October 5, 2016

Charles “Chuck” C. Barr Jr., 74, of McHenry, passed away on October 5, 2016.

He was born on Jan. 28, 1942 in Chicago. After serving his country as a member of the U.S. Army, Chuck married the love of his life Judy, on May 12, 1973 in Roselle. Chuck and Judy have spent the last 41 years in the McHenry area.

Many in the community will remember Chuck as quiet and reserved, keeping a close circle throughout his life. For Judy, their boys, and their grandkids, they were blessed to have experienced so much more of him.

He shared many lessons, not through words, but through the way he lived his life: Be proud of your family. Love your kids courageously enough to let them paint their shoes in rainbows, pierce their cartilage and bleach their hair, and not punish the newly minted driver for the obvious damage to the car hood which is shaped like a mailbox but he claims he knows nothing about. Always let them try. When they fail, teach. Be a subtle guardrail not forcing them down a specific path, yet guiding them away from peril. Be a good person. Marry your best friend. Be punctual, but don’t rush. Work hard. Keep an eye on your neighbor’s house. Live within your means. Use your wit. Wear your private pants with pride. DIY. Organize the shopping cart.

Pre-clean the dishes before the dishwasher.

Check the oil and fill the tires. Cut the chip bag in half to save your sleeves. Never waste a Coke. Take pride in your yard. Fly the flag.

Play catch. Read the newspaper. Eat supper as a family. Be the master of the remote, but always willing to watch Frozen. Be loyal.

Be reliable. Be strong. And, love the Cubs!

Chuck’s strong-will and kind-heart will live on through his loved ones.

He is survived by his wife of forty-three years, Judy; his sons, Ryan (Jodi), Tyler (Rebecca), and Adam (Tracy) Barr; his eight grandchildren, Collin, Emma, Charlotte, Mayson, Owen, Jackson, Lucy, and Tyson; his sisters-in-law, Gail (the late Jack) Williams and Lynne (Tom) Connolly; his brother-in-law, Mike (Kate) Altman; his sister-in-law, Jan Moshure; and many nieces and nephews.

Chuck was preceded in death by his son, Matthew, in 1989; his brother-in-law, Jack; his brother-in-law, George; his mother-in-law, Dorothy Altman; and his parents.

Services and visitation were for immediate family only and private. The cremation rite was accorded privately.

Time is the most precious resource. In lieu of flowers or donations, please honor Chuck’s memory by spending time with the ones you love or volunteer to spend your time with those in need.

Services were entrusted to Justen Funeral Home & Crematory, McHenry. For information, call the funeral home at 815-385-2400.

Friends may leave an online condolence message for his family by visiting www. justenfh.com.

When selecting sunglasses, nearly everyone wants what is cool and trendy. However, as much as we enjoy sunglasses as a fashion accessory, its is important to note that their primary function is to block our glare and harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Bearing in mind that UV radiation can penetrate cloud cover even on overcast days, the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that everyone, starting with one-year-old toddlers, wear sunglasses outdoors. This recommendation is particularly important for those with blue, green, gray, or hazel irises, who are more vulnerable to cancers of the eye caused by UV radiation. Patients taking medications that increase photosensitivity (such as estrogen, tretinoin, and certain antibiotics) are also advised to always wear sunglasses outdoors.

P.S. Sunglasses with wraparound lenses generally provide better protection against UV rays because they prevent them entering from the sides.

This column on the importance of wearing sunglasses has been brought to you in the interest of better eye health. At CRYSTAL LAKE OPHTHALMOLOGY, our patients’ needs and concerns are our top priority. We offer a wide range of eye care services to you and your family. When was the last time you had your eyes examined. Please call 815.455.4222 to schedule an appointment. We’re located at 280-A Memorial Court, where we can assist you in providing state-ofthe-art, compassionate eye care.

No trick to Halloween, just old-fashioned fun Kids still trick-or-treat, but a lot has changed over the years as far as Halloween is concerned. The witch, skeleton, tramp and ghost costumes of the 1930s – frequently featuring masks of papier mache – have been replaced with both cartoon and political characters.

Some might argue that the latter are interchangeable.

But like everything historic, it runs in cycles. The rubber and costume masks that flooded the market when I was growing up in the ’60s have been replaced with latex foam. The post World War II costume fads of cowboys and superheroes, popularized by television shows such as “Zoro,” “The Rifleman,” “Davy Crockett” and “The Adventures of Superman” have given way to other celebrities – both real and imagined.

SpongeBob SquarePants emerged in the mid-2000s and still retains a loyal following. Spiderman, Batman, even The Joker, are regulars on the top-10 costume list – rebooting popularity with each new movie. The same could be said of Indiana Jones, Jack Sparrow, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, Toy Story, and the “Hunger Games” and “Twilight” series.

It bites for those entertaining notions of dressing as Elvira or Dracula, but take heart. The classics never really go out of style. Clowns and witches remain just as popular today as they were 50 or more years ago.

For the first time in more than a decade, more American children will dress up as action heroes than princesses, according to a survey commissioned by the National Retail Federation. The top two were followed by animals, Batman, Star Wars, witch/other DC Comics superheroes, characters from the movie “Frozen,” Marvel Comics superheroes (excluding Spiderman), zombies and then Spiderman.

Millennials added vampires, pirates, movie villains and video game characters to their top 10 list. Adults 35 and older plan to stick with the tried and true: (in order) Witch, pirate, political, vampire, Batman characters, animals, DC Comics superheroes, ghost/zombie, scary costume/mask and Marvel Comics superheroes. But one thing that is consistent is the Halloween season’s popularity. More than 157 million Americans will take part in Halloween this year, according to the NRF, and spend an estimated $6.9 billion. Although down from last year, people plan on spending an average of $74.34 (versus $77.52 last year). Those

Pumpkins and hot dogs (no surprise) lead the list among pet costumes, but “cat” surprisingly clocked in at No. 10. My guess is no one has a ghost of a chance of getting a costume on them, so cats are dressing up as themselves – frighteningly independent.

Postcard archives

Good news – finally – from Lakewood Farms in Wauconda: The Lake County Forest Preserves District reached an agreement to transfer the Curt Teich Postcard Archives Collection to the Newberry Library in Chicago. The postcards, about 2.5 million strong, feature a range of subjects and genres. It has been housed since 1982 at the Lake County Discovery Muse-

um, which itself is moving from the endangered Lakewood Farms complex off Route 176 to the forest preserve’s general office in Libertyville.

At the heart of the Curt Teich Postcard Archives Collection are the industrial archives of the Curt Teich Co. itself. The company operated in Chicago from 1898 to 1978 as the world’s largest printer of view and advertising postcards. Consisting of more than 360,000 images related to more than 10,000 towns and cities in the U.S., Canada, and 115 other countries, the Teich industrial archives also contain photographs, prints, sketches and other layout materials documenting the creation of many of the company’s postcards.

Access to the materials at first will be by appointment only, while the Newberry incorporates the Curt Teich collection into the library’s discovery and access systems. Users eventually will have access to more than 30,000

STATE AP review: Mixed results for heroin crime immunity

By ANN SANNER and PHILIP MARCELO The Associated Press

Reeling from a surge in heroin overdoses, authorities in the Cincinnati area made an offer: Hand in potentially deadly drugs and you won’t be charged.

But the blanket immunity granted by a judge there over a month ago hasn’t brought in any heroin so far.

Results from similar efforts elsewhere, including in Illinois have also yielded few drugs, according to a review by The Associated Press. Still, that hasn’t dissuaded supporters who, along with officials nationwide, feel that their backs are against the wall as they try to fight the opiate crisis.

“Turn it in, get it off the streets; get it out of your homes, out of your families,” Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco, the Hamilton County coroner, pleaded last month.

She and other county leaders had hoped people would willingly come forward with deadly drugs when a judge granted their request for blanket immunity on Sept. 7. But as of Tuesday, the prosecutor’s office had yet to hear about any drugs being turned in to any local law enforcement agency in the

6 people shot, 1 fatally, during party at Rockford hotel

ROCKFORD – A 23-year-old man died and five other people were injured in a shooting early Sunday at a private party inside a Rockford hotel.

The shooting occurred after several people attending a large birthday party at the Clock Tower Resort and Conference Center got into a dispute, Rockford police Sgt. Rich Gambini told the Rockford Register Star.

Police were called to the scene at 12:50 a.m. after a report of shots fired. They found 23-year-old Marcello Brown, who was pronounced dead at the scene, on the hallway floor.

“It was chaotic, and people were running from the scene,” Gambini said.

“It’s an important part of the [heroin treatment] program, but it’s not the focus. It sends a message to people struggling that we’re not here to arrest you. We’re here to help you.”

Dan Langloss

Dixon, Illinois, police chief county.

“We weren’t expecting a lot of drugs,” spokeswoman Julie Wilson said. “It was something out of the box to try whatever we can to deal with this problem.”

Recovering addicts who have gone through similar efforts in other parts of the country say they aren’t surprised Cincinnati’s effort hasn’t borne fruit.

“The tangible drug is just the surface, and with no available access to treatment, you’re essentially yelling to a drowning person, ‘Just keep swimming!’ without actually throwing a life preserver,” said Steve Lesnikoski, 31, the first to go through a pioneering heroin treatment program in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

Launched in June 2015, the ANGEL program lets addicts turn in their her-

Gambini said all of the shooting victims were from Rockford.

In addition to Brown, a 20-yearold man was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Four others – an 18-yearold woman and men ages 21, 19 and 18 – suffered injuries that authorities said were not life-threatening.

Gambini said no one had been arrested, and police did not have information Sunday morning about who was responsible.

The killing is the 22nd homicide in Rockford this year. There were 19 homicides in Rockford in all of 2015.

Pay increase for village mayor would boost pension

ORLAND PARK – A published report said a proposed salary boost for a suburban Chicago mayor could have a big effect on his pension, resulting in payouts of more than $1 million over 10 years of retirement.

The Daily Southtown reported that Orland Park trustees are

oin to police without fear of arrest. But officials said fewer than 20 percent of the more than 500 addicts placed into treatment have taken them up on that offer.

Two communities that were among the earliest to adopt Gloucester’s approach have seen similarly low numbers of drug drop-offs.

In Dixon, Illinois, two of the more than 100 addicts so far placed into treatment have willingly handed over drugs. In Scarborough, Maine, roughly a dozen of the more than 200 addicts placed into treatment have turned in small quantities of drugs and paraphernalia.

The efforts are more focused on getting people into treatment than rounding up drugs, said John Rosenthal, director of a Massachusetts organization

considering more than tripling Mayor Dan McLaughlin’s salary to $150,000 a year. The village board could decide the matter Monday.

The newspaper calculated the effect on McLaughlin’s pension under rules of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund.

McLaughlin turns 63 in January and is up for re-election in the spring. He makes $40,000 a year as mayor, plus $3,000 annually as liquor commissioner.

He also is executive director of a construction industry trade group. He said he would resign that post if his mayoral duties expand with the salary increase.

Officials: Homeless situation worsening in Sterling-Rock Falls

STERLING – Officials in the Sterling-Rock Falls area are pushing to keep a homeless shelter open year-round.

The Daily Gazette reported that advocates said homelessness in the two cities and

supporting Gloucester’s and some 160 similar efforts nationwide.

“Just to be 100 percent clear, we don’t view our programs as offering ‘immunity’ for people in possession of illegal drugs,” he said. “We are offering access to treatment without arrest, shame or judgment, and if participants happen to bring in drugs, police will gladly receive and destroy them.”

Dixon Police Chief Dan Langloss agreed: “It’s an important part of the program, but it’s not the focus. It sends a message to people struggling that we’re not here to arrest you. We’re here to help you.”

Simply offering immunity for turning in drugs isn’t enough; programs need to offer ways of ending the cycle of drug abuse, arrest and incarceration, addiction experts say.

But the ultimate impact of programs like Gloucester’s remains to be seen.

Advocates cite lower rates of drug-related crimes such as shoplifting and burglary and fewer fatal overdoses, but independent analysts caution there are likely other factors contributing to those declines. And no published data yet show how addicts fare after treatment.

in Dixon is growing. They said there has to be more help from the Sterling-based Twin Cities PADS Homeless Shelter.

Rock Falls Police Chief Tammy Nelson, Sterling Police Chief Tim Morgan and Whiteside County Sheriff Kelly Wilhelmi have been discussing the situation. Nelson recently learned that other shelters in Sterling and Dixon are regularly full.

Twin Cities PADS board members put together a subcommittee last spring to study yearround operations. The shelter is open from Oct. 1 to May 1.

The 16-bed Dixon PADS shelter is open all year.

Death of cyclist sparks update in Ill. driver’s manual

MOUNT PROSPECT – A new entry will be added to the Illinois 2017 publication of the official “Rules of Road” after a Mount Prospect mother of five was struck and killed by an SUV while riding her bike in a crosswalk.

Although the entry has not yet been written, it will explain that when the crosswalk signal is activated and the lights are flashing, drivers need to stop until pedestrians and bicyclists have safely crossed the road, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Dave Drucker, a spokesman for the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office, confirmed the new entry for 2017 and said the office is grateful to state Rep. David Harris for making the request for change.

Harris, who passes the crosswalk twice daily on his way to his office, said the new entry is a must for drivers to be aware of the crosswalk signal.

“I thought, ‘My gosh. How are drivers supposed to know about it?’ ” Harris said.

Since the death of Mount Prospect resident Joni Beaudry, 55, on June 9, residents of the area have found the current crosswalk signal to be confusing and argued that it is dangerous and should be removed.

Pence: GOP ticket to accept election outcome ‘absolutely’

By LAURIE KELLMAN

A burnt couch is seen Sunday next to melted campaign signs at the Orange County GOP Headquarters in Hillsborough, N.C.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Mike Pence said Sunday that he and Donald Trump will abide by “the will of the American people” on Election Day, and suggested that Trump’s claim of a “rigged” election stems from his belief the media is ganging up on him.

“We will absolutely accept the results of the election,” Pence said in TV interviews.

He said Trump’s complaint, articulated from the campaign stage and across Twitter but without evidence, reflects fatigue with “the obvious bias in the national media. That’s where the sense of a rigged election goes here.”

Not long after Pence said that, Trump partly undermined his comments.

“The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary – but also at many polling places,” Trump tweeted. “SAD.” Pence’s words were the latest attempt by Trump’s surrogates to attempt to explain that some things the GOP presidential nominee has said and tweeted are not what he meant.

Much of that cleanup duty has fallen to Pence little more than three weeks before the Nov. 8 vote. Trump is struggling to shift the focus away from mounting accusations that he sexually assaulted women in ways similar to what he is recorded describing on a recently released video. Trump said all of the accusations are fabricated.

Several of Trump’s unfounded claims – such as the one Saturday that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was on drugs at the most recent debate and his call for drug testing before the next – also overshadowed the release over the weekend of more emails hacked from accounts of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

Some showed the cam-

N.C. GOP office burned, graffiti sprayed nearby

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. – A local Republican Party office in North Carolina was torched by a flammable device and someone spray-painted an anti-GOP slogan referring to “Nazi Republicans” on a nearby wall, authorities said Sunday.

A bottle filled with flammable liquid was thrown through the window of the Orange County Republican Party headquarters overnight, according to a news release from the town of Hillsborough. The substance ignited and damaged the interior before burning out. No one was injured.

The news release from authorities said an adjacent building was spray-painted with the words: “Nazi Republicans leave town or else.”

State GOP executive director Dallas Woodhouse said people sometimes work after-hours, and he felt lucky that no one was there at the time.

paign worrying whether Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., might endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders in the party’s primary, and wrestling with how to respond to revelations about Clinton’s private email use.

The emails also show aides lining up materials to respond to fresh accusations from a woman who accused Bill Clinton of raping her decades ago. The former president denied the accusation, which was never adjudicated by a criminal court.

Amid the intensity, Trump reiterated this weekend that a conspiracy is responsible for the FBI declining to prosecute Clinton for mingling private and official business on a homebrew email server so that she might compete in a fraudulent election.

“Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted and should be in jail. Instead she is running for president in what looks like a rigged election,” Trump tweeted to his

12 million followers on Saturday.

Threatening to jail a political opponent and fueling public distrust of a popular election – to explain his loss, should that happen – was a striking breach of faith in American democracy. He has repeatedly claimed, without offering evidence, that election fraud is a serious problem and encouraged his mostly white supporters to “go and watch” polling places in certain areas to make sure things are “on the up and up.”

It was left to Pence and another Trump surrogate, former New York City Rudy Giuliani, to explain on national television what their own candidate meant.

“When he talks about a rigged election, he’s not talking about the fact that it’s going to be rigged at the polls,” Giuliani said. “What he’s talking about is that 80 percent to 85 percent of the media is against him.”

Koch network focuses on GOP Senate, not Trump

By JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

FAIRLESS HILLS, Pa. – To the Republicans in the red “Can’t Afford Katie” T-shirts, it’s as if Donald Trump doesn’t even exist.

These activists have been sprinting through Pennsylvania neighborhoods, talking to people about how bad Democrat Katie McGinty would be as a U.S. senator. Here to help save Republican Sen. Pat Toomey – and, more broadly, the party’s control of the Senate – are employees and volunteers for Americans for Prosperity, the best-known group financed by conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch.

Similar scenes are playing out in North Carolina, Florida and Ohio.

In addition to having nail-biting Senate races this year, those four states are some of the most important battlegrounds in the presidential race. Yet the Koch activists interacting with millions of people who could be Trump’s most crucial voters aren’t supposed to utter a word about him or Hillary Clinton, a Democrat they’d been preparing for years to attack.

Four years after spending heavily in a futile effort to prevent President Barack Obama’s second term, the

Kochs have pushed all of their resources down ballot. And their resources are ample: They’re on track to spend about $250 million on policy and politics in the two years leading to Election Day. The brothers and many of their wealthy donor friends who fund the political and policy groups known as the Koch network have no interest in backing Trump. In a TV interview in April, Charles Koch called Clinton and Trump “terrible role models” and trashed Trump’s “monstrous” proposal for a temporary ban of foreign Muslims entering the U.S. In the months since, while many Republicans flipped back and forth as to whether to support their nominee, the Kochs never considered engaging in a Trump-Clinton match, even when some donors pressed them at a conference in August.

Instead, Koch groups have spent about $42 million on TV, radio and digital advertising in Senate races. As of this month, they have abandoned paid media altogether, preserving their money for what is a much more critical hole to plug: door-to-door advocacy.

Trump’s campaign has eschewed traditional political grunt work, leaving that to overworked national and state Republican parties, which must

advocate for GOP candidates from Trump down to the local council members.

Outside groups led by a former chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., continue to spend on ads – they’ll hit about $100 million

by Election Day. But the Senate GOP campaigns could really use help on the ground, and that’s where the Koch network comes in. Americans for Prosperity and other groups employ more than 1,200 across 36 states.

To operate as effectively as possible,

the Kochs’ data analytics shop, called i360, identified what it believes are 5 million Senate control-deciding voters in eight states. Those voters are either Republicans who seem unenthusiastic this year, perhaps turned off by the ugliness of presidential race, or people who hadn’t quite made up their minds about the Senate contest but lean Republican.

Roughly 600,000 of those key voters are in Pennsylvania.

During a recent weekend push in Bucks County, one of the most politically contested areas of the country, Americans for Prosperity temporarily imported employees from New Jersey and New Hampshire. There’s no Senate race in New Jersey, and the Kochs aren’t assisting Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., largely because she sided with the Obama administration’s moves to cut carbon emissions; that’s at odds with the Kochs’ push for fewer regulations.

After one door-to-door visit, the homeowner, Bob Ryan said, “I just can’t believe it’s the best we can do” for president. The Republican-turned-independent said, “I think Trump’s a disaster, and I think Clinton is a pure political opportunist. I’m aghast that that’s the best we can do, let’s put it that way.”

DENVER – Congress’ inaction on the $7.25 hourly minimum wage is again playing out on state ballots, with voters in four states considering an increase and another considering wages for the youngest workers, even though the states already exceed the federal.

In some cases voters also are deciding whether to add sick-leave policies to help the working poor.

The ballot proposals in Arizona, Colorado, Maine and Washington come two years after voters in five other states passed minimum-wage hikes.

South Dakota voters are taking a second crack at wages, two years after raising them to $8.50 an hour.

Is it a slam dunk that this year’s measures will pass, too? Maybe. Even the classic opponents to a higher minimum wage – restaurant associations and small-business groups – are running muted campaigns to oppose the wage measures.

ANOTHER VIEW

Obama’s space dreams President Obama last week renewed the bold goal, first set by him in 2010, to send a manned spacecraft to Mars by the 2030s – “with the ultimate ambition to one day remain there for an extended time.”

The history-altering trip, if it happens, will be the result of an unprecedented public-private partnership between NASA and one or more commercial space ventures that have thrived under the Obama administration’s approach to space travel.

In an article published by CNN, Obama writes: “Getting to Mars will require continued cooperation between government and private innovators, and we’re already well on our way. Within the next two years, private companies will for the first time send astronauts to the International Space Station.

“The next step is to reach beyond the bounds of Earth’s orbit. I’m excited to announce that we are working with our commercial partners to build new habitats that can sustain and transport astronauts on long-duration missions in deep space. These missions will teach us how humans can live far from Earth – something we’ll need for the long journey to Mars.”

Indeed, several companies have announced their plans to participate in the Mars adventure. Last week, Boeing CEO Denis Muilenburg declared: “I’m convinced the first person to step on Mars will arrive there riding a Boeing rocket.”

Last month, Elon Musk, head of SpaceX, unveiled plans for planting a colony on Mars.

And Orbital ATK is building rockets for a Mars journey. So is Blue Origin, a space company owned

by Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos.

It is awe-inspiring.

But in 2014 the National Research Council, an arm of the National Academy of Science, issued a cautionary report calling for a clearer focus and substantial additional funding for the Mars project.

The sad reality is that NASA, like the Pentagon and all other functions of the federal government, is under congressional orders to cut spending in order to provide room for more growth in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

The Affordable Care Act, in effect another unsustainable entitlement program, adds to the fiscal challenge as the record national debt soars toward $20 trillion.

That ground-bound bottom line will increasingly hamper efforts to extend our space-travel reach.

So until Congress and a new president are ready to get the federal government’s balance sheet in much better order, the American dream of putting people on Mars will remain stuck on the launching – The Post and Courier of Charleston pad.

IT’S YOUR WRITE GOP shenanigans

To the Editor: Have people become so inured to GOP shenanigans that they have to announce in advance they will not misspend tax money at least this one time. Joe Tirio says he will not hire his wife. Prior to this, his claim to fame was his idea to fold the Recorder’s Office into the Clerk’s Office, which would save taxpayers all of $5. It’s just further proof that Tirio doesn’t understand how things work in the two offices.

It seems the GOP in McHenry County is desperate to reduce our tax burden so we no longer have the highest taxes in the state and one of the highest county taxes in the country.

Tirio’s opponent, Lynn Gray, has been working with the Recorder’s Office for a number of years and has some ideas on how to reduce costs without taking steps which may have unintended consequences

Extraordinary leader

To the Editor: I support Paula Yensen for the McHenry County Board.

Over the past five years, I have worked with Paula in multiple capacities. First, in her role as a United Way Executive Director. Paula ensured that contributions were used appropriately and for the betterment of the community.

She served as a responsible fiscal watchdog as a matter of public trust.

Second, in her role as a volunteer board member for the local group of non-profit organization fundraising professionals, where she worked with a diverse group of people and produced varied as well as interesting programs over the past several years.

Third, in her role as a village trustee, where she fought for justice, used good business sense, and worked collaboratively with people of diverse backgrounds and opinions. She is an extraordinary leader.

Vote for Paula Yensen for McHen-

ry County Board!

Proven experience

To the Editor: I have come to know Patrick Kenneally, candidate for McHenry County State’s Attorney. Patrick has a sincere desire to serve the residents of McHenry County and will bring a pragmatic, creative and efficient approach to his prosecutorial duties. He will leverage his proven experience as a prosecutor to identify the critical, controlling issues surrounding the cases brought before his office.

The residents of McHenry County will be well served by this dynamic attorney who is more than prepared and qualified to assume the responsibilities of the office.

Join me in voting for Patrick Kenneally for McHenry County State’s Attorney.

Fewer governments benefit taxpayers

To the Editor: I read with interest Dr. Ron Erdmann’s letter in response to a story featuring McHenry Regional School Supt. Leslie Schermerhorn’s comments suggesting school districts should consider consolidation.

From my perspective, her comments were not “sophomoric” as Dr. Erdmann claimed, but were spot on.

As a Florida resident who also owns property in Cary, where I lived for 30+ years, I have seen firsthand how fewer government entities benefit property owners. My condo in Florida is worth more than twice my home in Cary, yet my property taxes in Cary are more than twice what mine are in Florida. Why? Because there are 1,650 units of government in Florida whereas in Illinois they are 6,963. There is no township government in Florida and school districts number 76. Illinois has 863 school districts and 1,431 townships.

It only makes sense that having fewer units of government means fewer administrative costs, which means savings for taxpayers.

Fewer school districts does not have to mean less service, inferior education or less identity as a community. Students identify more with their schools than their school districts.

Liberal media bias

To the Editor: There seems to be a bias in the reporting in the Northwest Herald.

The use of The Associated Press and the Washington Post at the exclusion of other news

HOW TO SOUND OFF We welcome original letters on public issues. Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers.

We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days. Election-related letters are limited to 150 words. The deadline to submit election-related letters is 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28. All letters are subject to editing for length and clarity at the sole discretion of the editor.

sources concerns me.

The AP does not seem to find anything positive to report about Donald Trump and never seems to find anything derogatory to report about Hillary Clinton.

Just the latest in reporting about the VP debate, while a couple of lines gave Mike Pence winning the debate, the rest of the article had mostly derogatory comments about Trump.

The “news” media is charged with reporting the news on a fair and balanced way but, sadly, the current media slants its coverage against conservative ideas and for the liberal progressive agenda.

It would seem to me that the Northwest Herald surely can find sources of news reports other than the biased AP and Washington Post. Or is that too much to ask of our newspaper?

NRA doing some good

To the Editor: Amidst all the gun violence hoopla, I’m sure you’ve noticed that the National Rifle Association has gotten much of the blame. Whenever there’s a “memorable” shooting, the media (and others) are quick to proclaim that things wouldn’t be in such sorry shape if it wasn’t for the NRA. It’s proclaimed far and wide, in the newspapers, on television, on the radio, the internet, wherever possible.

One important fact I’m sure you haven’t noticed, however, because it’s never mentioned.

As far back as I can remember – and that’s a pretty fair piece – there has never been mention of the fact that not one single offender has been a member of the NRA! You can believe that if the perpetrator had been an NRA member, it would have been trumpeted far and wide! Oh, my!

Maybe the NRA isn’t such an evil organization after all? Maybe it’s actually doing some good?

Think about it.

To the Editor: With more and more people saying they don’t like either candidate, the pollsters say voter turnout could be the lowest in years. Low turnout at the polls says, “Let somebody else do it” and “My vote doesn’t make a difference.”

This year, something is being done about it. In McHenry and Boone counties, there will be an advisory question on the ballot asking voters if they support reducing the corrupting influence of money on our political system. There are five anti-corruption acts being voted on in the U.S. this November: Washington state, South Dakota, and San Francisco.

In other Illinois counties, voters have already had advisory resolutions that have been given ‘yes’ votes of over 85 percent. If the voters in McHenry and Boone counties have as high returns, Illinois voters will be sending our state and Congressional politicians a strong message.

Your “yes” vote will help make a difference.

Volunteering helps you, others Dear Dr. K: I have a particular disease. A nearby medical school is recruiting people with my condition to participate in a research study. Should I volunteer?

Dear Reader: There are two good reasons to consider volunteering for a study: It might help you, and it might help others.

In some types of studies, there also may be risks to you.

Sometimes my patients ask me: “Do we really need to do all these medical research studies? Don’t we know what treatments work without conducting and paying for all these studies – often with taxpayer dollars?”

That’s an easy question to answer. The history of medicine is, unfortunately, filled with examples of new treatments doctors thought should work. Indeed, most doctors predicted they would work. But when the treatments were tested, they didn’t work.

Indeed, sometimes they made people worse.

And sometimes such treatments were given to many patients before a study was done to show that they were of no value, or even harmful.

Here are some things to consider as you decide whether to participate.

Every study for which you might volunteer has been carefully designed.

There is a detailed written plan specifying every question you might be asked, the kind of physical examinations that might be performed, the tests that might be ordered and any treatments you might receive.

This plan must be approved by a committee called an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB includes doctors, nurses, researchers and members of the community – none of whom is involved with the study.

They determine whether the study has acceptably low risks for the participants.

There are different types of studies. Ob-

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff servational studies simply collect detailed information from you on an ongoing basis.

They do not put you at risk. Studies like this discovered people who smoked had a much higher risk of lung cancer.

Other studies, called clinical trials, require you to have a particular “intervention.” The intervention might be a diagnostic test, such as a colonoscopy. Or it might be a treatment – a medicine, a surgical procedure or another therapy.

By participating in a clinical trial, you may get access to a beneficial drug or procedure that is not yet on the market. On the other hand, there may be risks involved.

One reason clinical trials are done is to determine the effectiveness of a drug and any side effects it may cause. Some clinical trials also test whether the study’s treatment is better than no treatment at all. So, if you enroll in certain types of studies, you run the risk of being assigned to a placebo (sham) treatment.

Being in a study won’t change your regular medical care. You’ll still see your usual doctor. And typically, the study (and its treatments) cost you nothing.

Many of my patients have volunteered to participate in medical studies. None I know of have experienced a complication, but it can happen. Some of them have benefited: Their condition improved because of the experimental treatment used in the study.

My 72-year-old husband believes not voting in the upcoming presidential election is making a statement because he can’t tolerate any of the candidates. He believes not voting is telling the political parties to offer more acceptable candidates.

I believe not voting makes no statement at all because many of those who don’t vote really don’t care, and that is the message that is received. Voting is a right that should be exercised. To vote is to make a statement. Do you think he is making his feelings known by not voting? – Not Voting In The West Dear Not Voting: No, I do not. Your husband seems to have forgotten how fortunate we are to live in a country where people can vote. In many countries, that’s not the case. The most important thing citizens can do is to educate themselves about the candidates and the issues and then cast their ballot. The higher the turnout, the more reflective the outcome is of the wishes of the people.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Fred,” and I have been together for 10 years, during five of which we have been engaged, although there has been no talk of actually setting a date. That doesn’t bother me because I am very unhappy in our relationship now.

Fred hasn’t worked in three years. I have been supporting him all this time, and I’m losing my mind. I am doing everything I can, and I’m beyond stressed. I can’t talk to him about it because he doesn’t want to talk. I send out his résumé, and he doesn’t return any calls to the places that call him.

I am 32 and feel like I am in a rut. What should I do? – In A Rut In Illinois Dear In A Rut: Why are you sending out his résumé? By now it should be clear to you Fred has no intention of getting a job. Why should he? He has a good deal the way things are.

Engagements usually involve setting a wedding date. Because the two of you haven’t, and you are unhappy in your relationship, break off the non-engagement. Cut your losses by investing no more time (or money) in your deadbeat boyfriend and set yourself free.

Dear Abby: I’m 10 years old and in fifth grade.

I was in science class when my friend cheated off of me. I could confront her, but if I do I risk losing her as a friend. She has done some rude things to me in the past, and I don’t know what to do. – Confused In Castaic, California Dear Confused: Real friends don’t do rude things to each other. Now that you know your “friend” will copy your work, make sure not to sit next to her when tests are given. Unless you do, your teacher may think because your answers are the same because you are the cheater, and you’ll be in real trouble. If you can’t change seats because they are assigned, you will have to be extra-careful about keeping your test paper out of her line of sight.

G.K. Chesterton, an English poet who died in 1936, said, “Nowadays a citizen can hardly distinguish between a tax and a fine, except that the fine is generally much lighter.”

How is “lighter” relevant to bridge?

Fine play at the money-bridge table will leave the opponents with lighter wallets. Also, the best players are opening and responding lighter and lighter these days.

Look at the North-South hands -which is the stronger? Do you agree with the auction, or would you prefer a different sequence?

Less experienced players, who like guidelines, may apply the rule of 20.

You add your high-card points to the number of cards in your two longest suits. If the total equals at least 20, you are supposed to open at the one-level.

In this deal, South’s hand qualifies, but North’s does not. However, that South hand is not an opening bid, because it has a potentially useless two-honor doubleton in spades and a load of quacks (queens and jacks). A minimum opening should contain at least one ace or two kings.

The North hand, in contrast, fails the rule but is definitely an opening bid.

It has two aces, one king and great intermediates.

The given auction reaches a hopeless spot. Even if North had 10-third of hearts, the contract might fail. I believe that the auction should proceed: pass - one diamond - two no-trump - pass.

Note that even two no-trump goes down if West shifts to a spade before declarer has driven out the diamond ace. The defenders can take one spade, four hearts and one diamond.

What to watch ALCS, Cleveland at Toronto, Game 3, TBS Trevor Bauer and the Indians take a 2-0 lead in the ALCS into Game 3 at Toronto.

Bauer had been scheduled to start Game 2, but was pushed back after he said he cut the pinkie on his right hand while fixing a drone.

Bauer needed stitches to close the wound.

Marcus Stroman will start for the Blue Jays.

shammond@shawmedia.com For a quarterback, Bobby Collins doesn’t throw the ball much. But in Cary-Grove’s triple-option offense, he doesn’t need to.

That doesn’t mean he’s not contributing.

The 6-foot, 168-pound senior rushed for four touchdowns and 140 yards against South Elgin on Saturday and only needed nine carries to do so. Collins first came onto the scene a year ago in the playoffs when he started in place of J.P. Sullivan, who missed time because of an illness.

This year, Collins has been at the reins all season.

“He’s really getting a good feel for what we’re doing,” Trojans coach Brad Seaburg said. “He’s made some nice reads, some nice runs, and he’s really leading the offense well right now.”

Collins’ four touchdowns in the homecoming win were one more than he had scored all season. But with 140 yards rushing, he nearly caught up to fullback Tyler Pennington for the team lead (to be fair, Pennington did miss two games with an ankle injury).

Against South Elgin, the offensive line was getting all the push it needed, and Collins just had to follow his blockers.

“I trust my line a lot,” Collins said.

“They’re physical. It’s fun to see them going at the guys and creating holes for me and all the backs.”

Backs against the wall: Three area football teams needed to win-out entering Week 8 if they wanted to make the playoffs, and two of them took the first step by winning this week.

Woodstock and Marian Central each kept their playoff hopes alive with victories, improving to 4-4 on the season.

Hampshire, on the other hand, lost to McHenry, 34-22, and will miss the playoffs. The Whip-Purs will finish the season Friday against Jacobs. Jacobs enters Week 9 at 4-4, so Hampshire will have an opportunity to play spoiler.

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson The wonderful sportsmanlike act hit social media Saturday after Becker’s sister Shauna tweeted a photo thanking Barkocy for trying to carry her brother to the finish. She finished with “Absolutely breathtaking.”

By Sunday afternoon it had received 262 retweets and more than 1,000 likes. Also Cole Barkocy

by Sunday afternoon, Becker was home after staying overnight at Advocate Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, feeling close to himself.

Becker expected to run next week in the Class 3A Grant Regional.

“I was exerting my body more than I was capable of,” Becker said. “My legs felt like giant weights. I couldn’t move anymore. Cole grabbed me and told me to put my arm around him, but my legs couldn’t move (at the bottom of the hill).”

When Becker finally went to the ground and Shauna helped him, he was disqualified. Barkocy looked at his coaches and was told to go ahead and finish.

South coach Rich Eschman said

• FOOTBALL NOTES Continued from page 2

A week after a heartbreaking double-overtime loss to Carmel, Marian Central redeemed itself with an overtime win over Niles Notre Dame. The Hurricanes will face Chicago St. Patrick this week. Both Marian and St. Patrick enter the game at 4-4.

Woodstock’s victory over rival Woodstock North might not have come as a complete surprise, but the 34-6 margin of victory was unexpected. The Blue Streaks dominated on both sides of the ball, beating the Thunder for the first time since 2009 and keeping their playoff hopes alive.

Woodstock is trying to become playoff eligible for the first time since that 2009 season, which also is Woodstock’s only playoff appearance since North opened.

The Streaks will play Richmond-Burton, which is coming off a nonconference loss to undefeated Genoa-Kingston.

John Starks for Shaw Media

Prairie Ridge’s Samson Evans carries the ball against Jacobs on Friday in Algonquin.

coach Dan DeBoeuf made sure to remind his team that it’s not far removed from the type of season Harvard is struggling through.

The Skyhawks went winless in 2011 and 2012, then won one game in 2013 when the current seniors were freshmen.

“It’s very easy to forget what it’s like to be an 0-9 team or a two-win team

Becker passed the 2-mile mark in 10:08. To offer some perspective, according to Jacobs coach Kevin Christian, former Golden Eagles runner and current Olympian Evan Jager did not pass the 2-mile mark that fast when he set the old Veteran Acres course record in 2006.

The problem was John Hill, the steep incline with about 800 meters remaining. “[Becker] was running way too hard,” Eschman said. “He felt great. People don’t run that fast out there.

Then, you have John Hill. That last hill has Jack Becker a lot of history behind it. It’s taken a few people out. It’s like, ‘You ran too hard, you forgot about me.’ It has some pretty good history.”

Becker, who had been so strong all season, felt the effects of John Hill a couple hundred meters later. Barkocy, running in third, heard people tell him that Becker and Ratkovich were fading. He ran down Ratkovich, then saw Becker stumbling along.

“He just reacted. He saw a friend and his first instinct was to go help him,” Central coach Bill Eschman said. “That was his first thought. How do you argue that? You don’t want to change that. That’s who he is, that’s his character. That’s what you want in kids.”

Runners, as a rule, forge close bonds. Anyone who has raced long enough had times when they pushed too hard and had problems. Also, Bill Eschman pointed out that Barkocy himself deals with an issue from a vocal chord disorder that sometimes affects his breathing.

“He was willing to sacrifice himself for a friend, he’s that type of kid,” Bill Eschman said. “He knows what it’s like. He was like, ‘I’m going to help a guy out when he needs help.’ ” Barkocy was fine with the results because, even though he stopped, the Tigers won the team title. With Weston Sterchi in fourth and Barkocy in fifth, they finished with 70 points, 35 ahead of second-place C-G. “We still won it as a team, so that was incredible,” Barkocy said. “The team always comes first.”

In some cases, so does sportsmanship.

The FVC records will not have Barkocy’s name as a conference champion, yet everyone will know he would have won had he not been so selfless and caring. That memory means way more than any first-place medal.

and some of these guys were a part of that not too long ago,” DeBoeuf said.

“So you’ve got to remember where you came from and make sure you enjoy this a little bit more and work a little bit harder for this.”

Senior running back Alex Peete had a similar sentiment.

“The message was don’t take things for granted, especially the way we’ve been playing,” Peete said. “Think of it, this is our last regular-season away game we’re ever going to have in our high school careers. I saw a lot of heart in Harvard, and you can tell those guys are sad this is the last time playing and everything. So we’ve got to embrace it and we’re blessed to have an extra game, guaranteed another game.”

On the verge: Prairie Ridge is on the verge of locking up an outright conference title in the first year, since 2005-06, of the division-less Fox Valley Conference. The Wolves play 2-6 Dundee-Crown in the regular-season finale and can lock up the conference title with a victory.

It would be the Wolves’ second straight outright conference title after winning the FVC Fox Division

outright last year. With a win, Prairie Ridge also would lock up its first undefeated regular season since the 2007 season. That year the Wolves lost in the Class 6A state quarterfinals.

Emotional moment: After McHenry defeated Hampshire on Friday, assuring its first playoff appearance since 2007, first-year Warriors coach Nat Zunkel was hit by the moment.

Senior players came by and hugged their coach. Zunkel, tears in his eyes, told each one he loved them, and they did the same.

Zunkel left Mercer County in Aledo, where his teams had sparkling records, to take over at at McHenry, which had struggled. The Warriors were 1-8 last season, but under Zunkel’s leadership have turned it around quickly.

“I’m just so proud of these kids,” Zunkel said. “These kids have been through a lot, right? Most of these kids have never seen this side of winning. It’s just special to see them come together and love each other and fight for the guy next to them.”

Opportunity stared right at Cole Barkocy on Saturday and he looked the other way.

The Fox Valley Conference Cross Country Meet championship was Barkocy’s for the winning. All he needed to do was finish the last 200 meters at Veteran Acres Park, a big downhill run that shoots competitors toward the finish line, a welcome sight on the grueling course.

The Crystal Lake Central senior didn’t hesitate in passing on that chance. Helping a friend in trouble, albeit one from another team, was more important.

Barkocy saw wobbly legged Crystal Lake South junior Jack Becker as he approached the hill. Barkocy tried to help Becker down the hill, which is within cross country rules. At the bottom of the hill, however, Becker was done.

“I thought I could help him out and we could both still finish 1-2,” said Barkocy, as the two had a huge lead after third-place runner Alex Ratkovich also was hurting. “I thought he could get his legs going and we could both finish together. Jack and I are really close friends. That meant much more, doing that for him, than it would have to win the conference race.”

Barkocy’s shot at the individual title vanished as other runners passed him and Becker. Barkocy eventually finished fifth.

Passionate fans show dedication

Weather elements while camping out for shot at tickets

CHICAGO – No doubt, Bob Walsh of Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood heard the roar after Miguel Montero’s pinch-hit grand slam in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday.

He watched it too, peering through Wrigley VIEWS Field’s Will Call Sean window Hammond at the TV within. A few hundred feet from where he stood, on the other side of the grandstand, Cubs fans went wild.

Walsh had to watch through the window, but he wasn’t going anywhere.

He had his sights set on NLCS Game 2. He arrived at Wrigley Field during the seventh inning of Game 1 – about 9:30 p.m. – and hunkered down in front of the Will Call windows, hoping for a chance at Game 2 tickets.

“I had nothing to do last night, no work today,” Walsh said. “I grabbed a chair and a blanket.”

By Sunday morning, the blanket had been offered to another shivering Cub fan in line. Within 10 minutes of the end of Game 1, some 40 people had lined up behind Walsh.

They all were hoping to score last-minute tickets that the Cubs often sell at Will Call on the day of the game.

If it meant sitting on the sidewalk through the night – and the pouring rain – so be it. It’s a tactic many fans either don’t know about, or aren’t willing to wait for.

For Nicholas Padin and his friends, the plan already had worked once.

The Chicagoan arrived at Will Call around 5 p.m. Thursday, waiting until Saturday morning to score tickets for Game 1. He and his friends landed four tickets in the bleachers and didn’t have to pay the outrageous online resale prices.

“Good game, really good game,” he said with a smile Sunday morning.

They were bundled in coats and hats, folding chairs at the ready. When Game 1 ended, they headed straight for Will Call again.

“We like to do it,” Padin said. “I like hanging out and being by Wrigley Field all day and all night. There was a lot of rain, but we stuck it out. Everybody was still out here in the rain.”

The rain started about 4:30 a.m. with a downpour that Walsh said lasted some seven to 10 minutes. After a brief dry spell, it rained for another hour.

Walsh was wearing shorts and flip flops.

“I had socks on,” he said. “But I took them off because they were soaking wet.”

By early afternoon Sunday, the line had wrapped all the way from the Will Call windows on the third base side to the famous marquee sign at Clark and Addison. There had been no security overnight, but fans saw unused barricades along one wall and erected a straight line.

“People just set them up themselves,” said Adam Jones, 23, of Batavia. “It’s been pretty much a self-regulated line out here.”

A security guard didn’t show up until about 7:30 a.m. Will Call opened at 9, but no tickets had been made available yet.

Jones and his friends spent Saturday night watching Game 1 at the Wrigleyville bars. A friend told them there might be a chance for tickets, and they arrived at the line about 2:30 a.m.

“We decided, drunkenly, to set up shop and wait it out and try to get

tickets,” Jones said. “We just kind of camped out. Some guys had beer in line. We’re just learning from the pros around us. Some of the guys are here for the money, and some are here just to try to get into the stadium.”

Jones was on crutches because of arthritis in his back. That didn’t stop him, but the rain did. He and his friends left for a respite at a friend’s place nearby early Sunday morning.

But after a few hours they were back in line, albeit a little farther back.

Nobody in line knew what tickets – if any – might be available or when they might go on sale. But it was a chance to see their Cubs chase down their first World Series appearance since 1945.

“The Cubs, I think, always want to keep seats for the day of (the game) because it’s baseball tradition,” Walsh said. “If someone can’t walk up here and buy a ticket, there’s probably a fundamental problem with the system.”

Walsh grinned.

“I’d still like to get my flip flops off,” he said.

Kershaw blanks Cubs in Game 2 Dodgers ace limits Cubs to 2 hits in 7 innings

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

AP photo

Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo avoids getting hit by a pitch in the fourth inning of Game 2 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Sunday night at Wrigley Field. The Cubs lost, 1-0.

Jansen for a six-out save just three days after Jansen’s career-high 51 pitches after being called up on in the seventh to help finish the Nats.

Jansen retired all six he faced, including the top of the Cubs’ order in the ninth.

And the Cubs go to Los Angeles for Games 4, 5 and 6 needing at least one victory at

tough Dodger Stadium to assure a return of the series to Wrigley Field.

The Cubs lost two of three to the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium seven weeks ago, including a 1-0 loss in a game Jon Lester started.

Jake Arrieta is scheduled for the Cubs in Game 3 on Tuesday, his first start

broke up the perfect-game bid with a line single to left-center.

Willson Contreras followed with another single for the first Cubs scoring threat of the game.

But Jason Heyward popped up to end the threat.

At second base, Baez had the defensive play of the series so far in the top of the sixth, with the Dodgers threatening to add to their 1-0 lead with men at first and second and one out.

Joc Pederson hit a soft liner toward Baez, who faked a routine catch before suddenly allowing the ball to drop to go after a double play.

He threw to second for a force, and after a surprised Addison Russell instinctively looked to relay toward first, Baez yelled and gestured to go after the runner halfway between second and third. A two-throw rundown later, and Baez had his double play.

“He sees things, man,” manager Joe Maddon said. “He’s like a good running back. He sees the whole field. Like a point guard. He sees the court.

“He just sees everything.

He’s got that gift.”

CUBS NOTES

Rondon: ’Pen adjusting to new way of doing things

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – Cubs reliever Hector Rondon suggested before Sunday night’s game that one of the reasons he and possibly Aroldis Chapman have not looked as sharp this postseason as they did during the regular season is the way they’ve been used in unaccustomed roles.

When told manager Joe Maddon theorized Rondon and Pedro Strop might still be working back from late-season time on the disabled list, Rondon disputed that idea.

“It’s tough. It’s tough to say something.

But right now we don’t pitch like we were (being used) before,” Rondon said. “We’re used different. In the regular season, we never pitched like matchups. We always came in the seventh and eighth innings.”

Rondon, who said he’s at full strength physically, isn’t complaining or making excuses.

“Right now I know we have more flexibility in the bullpen,” he said. “We’re fine. We’re ready. By the fourth inning at least we start getting ready mentally, and sometimes they bring us in, in different situations we’ve never been. Sometimes we learn from that.”

Hector Rondon Rondon said the relief crew was told well ahead of the postseason how they might be used. It has just taken some getting used to, he said. That seems to include Chapman, who has been used twice in the eighth this postseason with men on base and nobody out.

Both of those situations resulted in blown saves, although he struck out

the first two he faced with the bases loaded Saturday, then allowed a tying single, before getting the final out.

“If you look at it retrospectively, the reason we won that game was because of Chapman,” Maddon said, referring to limiting the damage to that lone two-run hit, with the Cubs going back ahead in the bottom of the inning. “I put him in a really bad spot.

“But you can’t fault him at all. I need to put him in a better spot when it comes down to it .”

Maddon said he doesn’t plan to change his bullpen philosophy. Chapman, by the way, earned saves in his three other appearances, all traditional ninth-inning starts.

Rondon suggested it’s up to the late-inning setup and closing corps to adjust.

“We were never used like this in the regular season,” he said. “We’re men-

tally prepared. But sometimes when we come in it’s not [familiar].

“We’re ready. We’re ready for any situation.”

Field-good story: Maddon bumped low-wattage lefty hitter Jason Heyward down to eighth in the batting order rather than remove the Gold Glove right fielder from the lineup altogether and use Jorge Soler or Albert Almora Jr. in his place.

“Kershaw’s oppressively difficult on lefties,” Maddon said. “You saw what the defense did last night. It cannot be discounted.

“Primarily, we wanted to put our best defense on the field again.”

Note: Maddon said Game 1 home run hero Miguel Montero will start behind the plate Tuesday in Game 3, paired with right-hander Jake Arrieta as he was in the NLDS against the Giants.

CHICAGO – Best team in baseball, meet best pitcher on the planet.

Nine innings into the Cubs’ first meeting of the year with Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers’ ace had seven more dominant innings against the Cubs, and the Dodgers stole the game at Wrigley Field they felt they needed with a 1-0 victory at Wrigley Field in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday night.

Kershaw, the hero of the Dodgers’ first-round series victory over the Nationals, came back on short rest from his last start – with a two-out relief appearance in between – to limit the Cubs to two hits over seven innings.

And Dodgers manager Dave Roberts went to closer Kanley

at Dodger Stadium since his no-hitter there Aug. 30, 2015.

Kyle Hendricks, the official major-league ERA leader (2.13), nearly matched Kershaw, the ERA leader (1.69) without enough innings to qualify, but spent 70 pitches through only the first four innings to pull it off against a veteran, left-handed lineup.

Adrian Gonzalez’s leadoff home run to the opposite gap in the second was the difference.

Hendricks, whose first playoff start was ended in the fourth inning when he was hit on the forearm by a line drive, showed no ill effects.

He lasted three batters deep into the sixth inning, before leaving with two on and one out.

Rookie Carl Edwards Jr. took over and finished the inning, thanks to another headsup play by Javy Baez.

Even on a night when Kershaw rendered much of the Cubs’ efforts moot, postseason sensation Baez continued to make his presence felt.

Kershaw retired the first 14 batters he faced, before Baez

6 BULLS

Bulls swap guards with Milwaukee

Carter-Williams hopes Bulls are the right landing spot

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The Bulls never wanted Tony Snell.

Well, at least their former coach didn’t, as the 2013 NBA Draft was just another sign of the disconnect that was taking place between Tom Thibodeau and the front office.

After giving Thibodeau the disaster that was Marquis Teague in the 2012 draft, the follow-up to the point guard out of Kentucky was Snell with the 20th pick overall. Thibodeau wanted to go defense and glass protector, looking at Gorgui Dieng out of Louisville, who coincidentally went with the very next selection.

And although Snell had more staying power than Teague did, as Saturday night’s trade with Milwaukee

showed there’s suddenly been more misses than hits with personnel decisions.

A source confirmed that Snell would be wearing a Milwaukee Bucks uniform by Monday, while the Bulls would be getting former first-round pick – 11th overall – Michael Carter-Williams, who also was a product of the ’13 draft class.

Basically, one team’s bad decision for another’s.

From the Bucks’ standpoint, they re- Michael ally were left with no Carter-Williams choice. The injury to Khris Middleton (torn hamstring) just before camp started was a huge blow to their perimeter game, so they needed a shooter with some length. Snell is only a career 35-percent shooter from long range, but impressed Milwaukee last season by averaging 12.5 points against them in two meetings.

As far as Carter-Williams, his career steadily has declined, going from the NBA Rookie of the Year in Philadelphia to a bench player in Milwaukee.

So how does he fit with the Bulls?

Well, it’s not his outside shooting, as the 6-foot-6 guard is only a career 25.5 percent shooter from beyond the 3-point line.

What he will give Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg off the bench is on-the-ball defense, as well as a point guard who can play with pace. It also ends the competition that was going on for that backup point guard spot, as Spencer Dinwiddie, Jerian Grant and Denzel Valentine all were getting Tony Snell looks there throughout training camp.

The good news for the Bulls, and more specifically Carter-Williams, is that he no longer will have the spotlight on him to reach a ceiling that so far has been unobtainable. He never has had a strong veteran point guard to learn from, and that could soon be changing.

Since signing 30-year-old Rajon Rondo this offseason, Rondo has made it a point to be a mentor for the younger players, even travelling to

Las Vegas for Summer League to sit on the bench during games and play tutor.

So although Rondo’s reputation in places such as Dallas and Sacramento took a hit, Hoiberg hasn’t seen any of the baggage that supposedly traveled closely with the point guard.

“He’s bought in to what we’re trying to do,” Hoiberg said of Rondo “He wanted to come in and watch film, we worked a lot with his shot early in the process and he was around our guys, and from the very first moment you could tell guys were going to gravitate toward him because of his voice, veteran presence. Like all players, you learn a lot from the different situations you have been through. I’m sure that’s the case with Rajon.

“That’s how I’m judging it and how I’m going to base it, how our relationship is. I took some transfer kids when I was [coaching Iowa State] who didn’t have the best reputations, and the minute you stepped onto the campus you talked about how it was going to be, how important it is to develop a relationship with them. That’s how I’ve always approached it.”

BLACKHAWKS

Hossa, Toews hoping to score early, often

Slow starts were a ‘burden’ last year for Hawks stars

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – For a brief moment Saturday night, it appeared the clouds had parted, the sun was shining, a choir was singing, and Marian Hossa finally had scored the 500th goal of his NHL career.

He hadn’t.

“I wasn’t sure,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “[Richard Panik] had the bigger celebration.”

Indeed, Hossa merely had set up the second of Panik’s three goals Saturday with a short, cross-crease feed through traffic. Hossa, in fact, has an assist in all three of the Hawks’ games so far. Despite moving from the top line to the third line to the fourth line in a matter of four days, Hossa has remained a strong presence at both ends

of the ice. But he still is looking to cash in on a goal. So is his off-and-on linemate, Jonathan Toews.

And the sooner, the better.

Last season, slow starts led to Hossa having a career-low 13 goals and Toews having the lowest points-pergame total (58 points in 80 games) of his career.

Toews didn’t score a goal in his first seven games last season, and Hossa had only one in his first 14 games. So the two superstars – Marian Hossa with a gaudy 750 goals between them – are eager to find some early momentum.

“It’ll be huge for us,” Toews said.

“We know those results are going to come. Last year, it was maybe a rougher start, and then we were kind of forcing as the season went along. It got maybe even more mentally tiring as that burden got bigger and bigger. [So] the start’s important.”

For Hossa, who has been getting asked about his 500th goal since last year’s training camp, when it seemed inevitable he’d get it during the 2015-

16 season, one simple tally would do a world of good.

“It’s always easier when you have a good start,” he said. “Things are going your way, you’re more confident, things are easier, and you’re having more fun.

(When you’re) really trying to work hard and things are not going your way, you have to chase things.”

Hossa has been somewhat snake-bitten in his quest for 500. His shooting percentage has dropped dramatically Jonathan from 12.4 in 2013-14 to Toews only 6.8 last season. And after goals in back-to-back games in early February put him at 497 for his career, ramping up the 500th hype, Hossa was injured on a hip check by Anaheim’s Hampus Lindholm and missed a month.

He scored No. 499 on March 29, but then was injured again April 3 against Boston, leaving him stuck one goal shy of the milestone as he sat out the last three games of the regular season. He did close out strong, scoring in each of the last three playoff games against St. Louis.

“I never thought I could be one day close to this number,” the 37-year-old Hossa said. “It’s great. I know I’m pretty close to 500, so that would be nice to get it over with sooner than later.”

It’s been a curious start for the Hawks, offensively. Through three games, their only goal-scorers are Panik (four), Brent Seabrook, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Marcus Kruger, Ryan Hartman and Nick Schmaltz. None from Toews, none from Hossa, none from Patrick Kane, none from Artemi Panarin, and none from Artem Anisimov, who has struggled mightily in the early going.

The concern entering the season was whether the Hawks would be able to muster any depth scoring. So the upside-down start could be construed as a positive – assuming the big guns start scoring soon.

“It just shows the depth of this team,” Schmaltz said. “I mean, obviously, Kane and Panarin and those guys, they’re going to score. You give them time, they’re going to make plays.

They’re some of the best players in the league, so as much as we can do to contribute and get some secondary scoring, that will help this team be successful.”

JAGUARS 17, BEARS 16

Bears are among NFL’s worst teams with 1-5 record

• Monday, October 17, 2016

The Bears and the Jacksonville Jaguars are two of the worst teams in the NFL, and on Sunday the Bears were even worse than the Jaguars in a 17-16 loss, their fifth in six games this season.

Consider these notes from the Bears loss to BEARS the Jaguars: • The Bears INSIDER converted 7 Hub of 17 thirdArkush down attempts (41 percent), setting season-highs in third-down conversions and conversion percentage. But they were 7 of 10 in the first half and then 0 for 7 in the second half, when they blew 13-0 and 16-7 leads.

• Brian Hoyer completed 30-of-49 passes for 302 yards and now has completed 130-of-189 passes for 1,396 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions in five games in 2016.

• The Bears are 1-4 in the games Hoyer has played.

• Only the Cleveland Browns have a worse record than the Bears with the season now a little past a third over, and only the Panthers, Jets and 49ers are as bad.

With the Panthers and the Jets clearly being more talented clubs than the Bears, things will be very bleak around Halas Hall in the coming days of the short week before the Bears take on the Packers on Thursday night in Green Bay, and what was supposed to be a rebuilding year is teetering on the brink of being a lost season.

In the locker room after their fifth loss, the Bears were confused and grasping at straws.

Offensive guard Kyle Long is part of the foundation for the rebuilding plan, but when asked if injuries are the problem right now, he said, “I don’t know what it is, but I know that there are spurts where we play well enough to win, and there are spurts where it looks like we don’t know what the [heck] we’re doing.”

Inside linebacker Danny Trevathan is viewed by most as one of the most important free-agent acquisitions of the Ryan Pace-John Fox rebuilding regime, but when asked how the Jaguars game got away, he replied, “I have no idea. I have to look at the film, but I know that a couple of plays got

Downward spiral continues

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Bears running back Ka’Deem Carey reacts at dropping a Brian Hoyer pass in the second half against the Jaguars on Sunday at Soldier Field. The Bears lost, 17-16.

Cameron Meredith is one, but like most of his teammates, he’s searching for answers.

“It’s definitely getting frustrating when you get down to the red zone and we’re not able to get in there,” he said. “We need to turn those field goals into touchdowns. You got to go back to work and figure out a better game plan or something, so we can be better next week.”

That is a second-year undrafted player coming off his first NFL start uncertain whether or not his club’s game plan is the problem.

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com Hoyer is not the problem; he’s Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey breaks just not the answer. And although he up a Brian Hoyer pass intended for receiver certainly was more diplomatic than Alshon Jeffery in the fourth quarter to seal Meredith in his search for answers, he the Jaguars’ 17-16 win over the Bears. was asking the same question.

“We’ve bought in,” Hoyer said.

“Like I said, if there was a magic away from us where we got to get on the same page, but we’re going to get it potion, we would take it to figure out how to score these red-zone touchdone. There’s no excuses for us.”

Although bright spots certainly are downs. It just comes with hard work hard to find now, second-year receiver and reviewing what you’ve done, and

trying to fix it.”

Is that really all it is?

Fox continues to sell that things aren’t as bad as they look and will be better soon.

“It’s the same thing I told the team,” Fox said. “It’s not lack of heart, lack of trying. Our guys battled. We just don’t play well enough right now, and that’s on all of us.

“Everybody in there. Coaches are giving their all. Players are giving their all. We just got to play better to win games.”

I don’t think anybody doubts their effort.

The fair question after their ugly loss to the Jaguars is, are these coaches and players really good enough to get any better than they are right now?

First-half defense: After letting the Jaguars march down field for 84 yards, the defense stood tall, holding Jacksonville to only 13 more yards the rest of the half after Tracy Porter’s interception in the end zone. Blake Bortles had a 39.2 passer rating at halftime.

Winning time of possession: For the third week in a row, the Bears controlled the pace of the game and kept the offense on the field, holding the ball for 12:34 longer than the Jaguars.

A 7-for-10 rate on third down in the first half helped.

Stopping the run: The defensive line won 1-on-1 battles in the trenches, holding Chris Ivory and T.J. Yeldon to 53 yards combined on 17 carries (3.1-yard average).

INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS

1 2

Red-zone offense: For the third week in a row, the Bears did not effectively translate yards into points. They were 1 for 4 scoring touchdowns in the red zone, including a stalled drive that had a first-and-goal at the Jaguars’ 5-yard line, when a touchdown would have put the game away.

Run game: It was tough sledding for Jordan Howard, especially in the first half when he had 16 yards on 10 carries. Ka’Deem Carey had some success, but overall the run game struggled to get going after two very positive weeks. An effective rushing attack had the Bears run it 27 times compared with 49 passes, even though they spent much of Sunday in the lead.

Penalties: Still lots of cleaning up to do at practice this week, as the Bears need to be more disciplined. They were flagged 10 times for 87 yards.

3 moments that mattered

1 2 3

Porter’s pick: The Jags marched down field on their opening drive, going 84 yards before facing a third-and-goal. Blake Bortles’ pass went off the hands of Allen Robinson and into the hands of Porter for a crucial interception that set the tone for a strong three quarters for the Bears.

Carey’s drop: Among many missed opportunities for the offense, Carey dropped a pass on third-and-3 at the start of the third quarter with plenty of green in front of him. Neither team scored for several drives, but it still was a drive-ender that could have been a big play.

The fumbled snap: When the Bears had it with 4:13 to go, a few first downs would have clinched the win, and Carey got things started with an 8-yard run. But on second-and-2, Brian Hoyer fumbled the snap and was sacked for a loss. After an incomplete pass, the Bears punted and the Jaguars went on to score the game-winner.

What now?

Record: 1-5 What it means: An awful loss continues a terrible first half to 2016, as the Bears are one of the worst teams in the NFL. What’s next: A short week to think about this one, as the Bears have to turn around and head to Lambeau Field to play the Packers on Thursday night.

COWBOYS 30, PACKERS 16

Green Bay fans jeer offense struggles hanging onto ball

By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press

Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery questions the interference call against him in the first half against the Jaguars on Sunday at Soldier Field. The Bears lost, 17-16.

BEARS NOTES

Jeffery gets going early, but Bears can’t capitalize

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com CHICAGO – After a week of questions about not getting the ball to Alshon Jeffery enough, Brian Hoyer changed that Sunday, but the overall result was the same.

A season-high 13 targets and seven receptions for Jeffery didn’t matter for the frustrated receiver after a demoralizing 17-16 loss to the Jaguars at Soldier Field.

“We’ve got to score [expletive] touchdowns,” Jeffery said. “That’s it.

Period. Touchdowns win games. You see what three points get us.”

For the third week in a row, the Bears had no problem piling up yards, but they could not punch it in the end zone, going 1 for 4 scoring touchdowns when in the red zone. They blew a 13-0 fourth-quarter lead.

“If I had the answer, then we wouldn’t be talking about this,” Hoyer said about settling too often for field goals. “We have to figure it out and quickly.”

Jeffery was sensational in the first half, using comeback routes on firstround rookie Jalen Ramsey in a physical matchup to catch six passes for 90 yards, but Ramsey won more often than not after halftime, limiting Jeffery to one catch on six targets.

And maybe the Bears could have gone Jeffery’s way even more, considering the Jaguars rarely rolled a safety over to double him. Jeffery received only one target in the red zone, an incomplete pass from Hoyer on third-

and-goal in the third quarter.

“We had a chance,” tight end Zach Miller said. “If we punch in a touchdown there and go up 17-0, that’s potentially putting the game away. We just couldn’t do it. We haven’t done it all year long.”

The Bears held the ball for 12 minutes more than the Jaguars, but were 0 for 7 on third down in the second half and never established an effective run game.

“We’re just not executing. Coming up short and it’s hurting us,” Miller said. “We’ve got to find a way to put more points up. I don’t even know how many times we were in the red zone.

We were down there quite a bit, but it was field goal after field goal after field goal. Can’t win that way.”

The star on offense again was Cameron Meredith, as the local product caught 11 passes for 113 yards, but it was all for naught for a 1-5 Bears team that has to turn things around in a hurry, as they head to Green Bay on Thursday to face a Packers team that will make them pay for leaving points on the field.

“It’s definitely frustrating,” Meredith said. “We’re getting down to the red zone and we’re not able to get in there and turn those field goals into touchdowns. We’ve got to go back to work and figure out a better game plan to do better next week.”

Injury update: WR Eddie Royal (toe) left the game and did not return. LG Josh Sitton injured his ankle on the Bears’ second-to-last play from scrimmage. CB Bryce Callahan was in and out with a hamstring injury. CB Tracy Porter played with a knee injury.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Aaron Rodgers needed to unwind after a so-so day at the office.

Sure, the Packers quarterback was 31 of 42 for 294 yards. But a season-high four turnovers doomed Green Bay in a 30-16 loss Sunday to the Dallas Cowboys, and Rodgers was responsible for two of them.

It made for choppy night again for the Packers’ offense.

“I don’t know if I agree with ‘broken.’ It’s definitely not clean in some areas,” coach Mike McCarthy said.

The Packers planned for a long night of studying film before turning their attention right away on Monday to the Bears, their opponent Thursday night.

“Have a glass of scotch and chill out a little bit, watch the film,” Rodgers said about his plans for Sunday night. “I’m my biggest critic, and I look at this as finely as I look at every other game and improve.”

Drops were a problem at times for receivers. Timing seemed to be off during a couple other instances. Rodgers overthrew open receiver Randall Cobb in the back of the end zone early in the fourth quarter, and the Packers had to settle for one of Mason Crosby’s three field goals.

The turnovers especially hurt. The Packers had five fumbles, losing three.

Rodgers fumbled on first-and-goal at the Cowboys’ 1 with 1:10 left in the third quarter. It was a designed draw play out of an empty backfield.

Jordy Nelson fumbled after a hard hit from safety Barry Church as soon as the Packers receiver came down with an 18-yard pass over the middle in the first quarter. The Cowboys recovered at the Packers’ 36.

“We’re down,” Nelson said. “Offensively, we didn’t play the way we need to. We made some plays, didn’t make enough, didn’t take care of the ball, and that’s not us.”

Fans at Lambeau Field booed at times. Even Rodgers, the two-time NFL

Packers receiver Randall Cobb can’t catch a Aaron Rodgers pass in the second half against the Cowboys on Sunday in Green Bay, Wis. The Packers lost, 30-16.

MVP, wasn’t immune from the jeering.

“Look, we’re upset, they’re upset, it’s part of it,” Rodgers said of the booing. “It’s not the first time. Probably won’t be the last time.”

The Packers didn’t get into the end zone until Rodgers and Cobb connected on a 6-yard touchdown pass with 6:53 left to get within 27-16.

There are some positives on which to build.

Rodgers was sacked only once. Eddie Lacy ran for 65 yards on 17 carries in spite of a sprained left ankle.

Second-year receiver Ty Montgomery proved to be the Packers’ best receiver with 98 yards on 10 catches, with a team-high 12 targets.

With backup running back James Starks out with a knee injury, Montgomery ended up taking three carries in the backfield, too, for 6 yards.

“I felt my movement was good tonight,” Rodgers said. “I felt the line blocked really well. We’ve got to do a better job of hitting the ones we’re used to hitting.”

The output just doesn’t match the high bar that the Packers have set in recent years.

“To keep comparing it to the past is a benefit to us because we know what it looks like. We have people that were here in the past that were a part of that,” McCarthy said. “But at the end of the day, we obviously have work to do, and that will be our approach.”

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – No matter what kind of misfortune befalls Kevin Harvick in the early rounds of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, his team always seems to get things together when it matters.

The No. 4 crew did it again Sunday.

One week after a mechanical issue doomed him to a lousy finish at Charlotte, and put his hopes of advancing to the round of eight Kevin Harvick in jeopardy, Harvick roared to the front on the final restart to win at Kansas Speedway and take all of the pressure off next week’s elimination race at Talladega.

“These races are hard to win, and these guys are so good at the details,” said Harvick, the 2014 champion, “and when you put their backs against the wall, they’re even better. I’m so proud of them.”

Harvick was among the fastest in the final qualifying session, and hung around the front all day while other Chase contenders faltered. He still was

at the front when Regan Smith brought out the final caution, and was able to keep Carl Edwards at bay over the final 30 laps.

“I was pretty sure we were in control of the race,” said Edwards, a Missouri native who has yet to win at what he considers his home track. “As much fun as I had running up front, it stings.

There’s negative emotions tied up with not winning here with that fast of a car.”

It was the fourth win of the season for Harvick, and his second of the Chase – he rebounded from a poor performance at Chicagoland Speedway to win at New Hampshire and advance from the round of 16.

He joined Jimmie Johnson, the winner at Charlotte, in securing a spot in the next round of NASCAR’s playoffs, while also ramping up the pressure on the other 10 contenders fighting for points.

“They usually, when it comes to this situation, find a little more speed in their cars,” said Joey Logano, who finished third and sits in the precarious eighth spot in points. “I don’t know how, but it seems like in must-win situations they always find a little more speed.”
