Good morning, McHenry County ...

Library folks work to persuade voters If an advisory referendum that asks voters whether the city of Crystal Lake should borrow $30.1 million to replace its library fails, the library’s ardent supporters can’t be blamed.

As witnessed by the dozens of letters to the editor sent to and published in the Northwest Herald in recent weeks, support signs in front yards all around town and other campaign activities, they’ve been working hard to gather support for what they consider to be a vital community need.

There can be no doubt about their passion on this issue.

Library board members, staff and many users said the building at 126 W. Paddock St. is old and in need of many repairs, too crowded to house its collection of books, music and other media, and technologically inadequate. Rather than repairing the building, they want to build a new, 75,000-square-foot library at its current site.

The project would cost about of $132 a year for the owner of home valued at $200,000.

The referendum on the Nov. 8 ballot is non-

Supporters hope an election result that shows a majority of Crystal Lake voters supporting it will be enough to persuade City Council members to approve it.

Regardless how it turns out, supporters deserve credit for the time and effort they are putting in.

ARREST AT SCARYTOWN

MOTHER AT AGE 62

A Harvard man was arrested and charged Sunday with battery and assault, both Class A misdemeanors, as well as disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor, after he allegedly assaulted a girl at the ScaryTown Scream Park. Story, page A6.

NEW POLICY IN CARY?

The Cary Village Board is considering a policy regarding public comment at village meetings. Village Administrator Chris Clark proposed the idea to set clear guidelines for everyone who attends meetings to have a fair chance to speak in a reasonable amount of time and in order to avoid confusion. Story, page A6.

MADRID – A 62-year-old Spanish woman gave birth to a healthy girl and encourages women in their later years to imitate her if they want to.

Lina Alvarez left the Lucus Augusti Hospital in Lugo on Tuesday with her third child in her arms, saying she felt wonderful. She said baby Lina, born Oct. 10, is in perfect health. The 5.3-pound Lina was born by cesarean section. Alvarez’s first child, now 27, was born with cerebral palsy. Her second child is now 10. Her second and third pregnancies were through in-vitro fertilization treatment.

Alvarez, a doctor, said that women who are well enough to have a baby in their later years shouldn’t be afraid to do so, adding that they should let nature, not gynecologists, decide.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump debates Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during the third presidential debate Wednesday at UNLV in Las Vegas.

CANDIDATES FIERCE IN FINAL FACEOFF Trump, Clinton continue personal attacks during 3rd presidential debate

By JULIE PACE and LISA LERER The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS – Threatening to upend a fundamental pillar of American democracy, Donald Trump refused to say Wednesday night that he will accept the results of next month’s election if he loses to Hillary Clinton. The Democratic nominee declared Trump’s resistance “horrifying.”

Trump had spent the days leading up to the third and final presidential debate warning voters that the election would be “rigged.” Asked whether he would accept the outcome if Clinton emerges victorious, he said, “I will tell you at the time. I’ll keep you in suspense.”

Trump’s assertions raise the prospect that millions of his supporters may not accept the results on Nov. 8 if he loses, thrusting the nation into uncharted territory. Free and fair elections, with the vanquished peacefully stepping aside for the victor, have been the underpinning of America’s democratic tradition since the country’s founding 240 years ago.

The Republican National Committee immediately disavowed Trump’s

statement. There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud, and election officials across the country have denied and denounced Trump’s

charges.

Wednesday’s contest quickly shifted from a calm, policy-focused faceoff into a bitter and deeply personal confrontation. Trump called Clinton a “nasty woman,” while the Democrat panned him as “unfit” to be commander in chief.

Clinton, who began the debate with a lead in nearly all battleground states, forcefully accused Trump of favoring Russia’s leader over American military and intelligence experts after the Republican nominee pointedly refused to accept the U.S. government’s assertion that Moscow has sought to meddle in the U.S. election.

She charged that Russian President Vladimir Putin was backing Trump because “he’d rather have a puppet as president of the United States.”

WOODSTOCK – Approval of an extended contract for county Administrator Peter Austin caused some turmoil Tuesday night on the McHenry County Board.

Members ultimately approved the contract on a 13-8 vote, after about 30 minutes that included opponents calling the entire process sneaky and politically motivated, and supporters calling the board dysfunctional and conspiratorially minded.

The 4½-year deal that took effect with the vote grants Austin $180,000 a year, about as much has he made in his most recent contract, with annual consideration of increases Peter Austin based on board review.

It is an at-will contract that allows the County Board to terminate him with a majority vote, but clarifies an ambiguity under his previous contracts that, according to a state’s attorney legal opinion, would have allowed the County Board during the 30-day review period to fire him without severance.

The new contract, which expires in May 2021, reflects a departure from past practice, in which Austin’s contract from his 2005 hiring was automatically renewed every May, with his annual evaluation to follow in the summer.

Opponents such as Diane Evertsen, R-Harvard, had problems with the fiveyear duration, the county paying Austin’s share of his contribution to the Illinois Municipal Retirement System, and no limit on accrued leave. The county paid Austin’s

“It is this board that is dysfunctional right now. Please do not filter it down to the staff, because they are the only thing that is respected in this region right now.”

Carolyn Schofield

McHenry County Board member, R-Crystal Lake share of IMRF under his previous contract.

“I’m sorry. This is absolutely unconscionable. I’m done,” Evertsen said.

Others, such as board Vice Chairwoman Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary, said the contract was not honestly moved through the board because it did not go before the Human Resources Committee. Austin’s contract and performance reviews fall under the purview of the Management Services Committee under board rules.

Barnes did not mince words, calling the contract “unconscionable” and that she could not decide whether she was extremely sad or extremely sick that the matter was on the agenda.

“There are no words for me to state in public what I feel about how this came to us and what’s included in it,” Barnes said.

Supporters defended the contract and Austin’s work, and had some strong words of their own.

Member Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, said she was disturbed by what she called “personal agendas and politics” in opposing the contract. Hill, who served two years

as County Board chairwoman, heads the Management Services Committee.

“We are hiring a professional administrator that is nonpolitical. I can’t stress this enough that this should be done now, it should be five years, and we should be showing [Austin] that we respect and admire what he has given to this County Board with the package that we have put together here,” Hill said.

The strongest admonishment came from member Carolyn Schofield, R-Crystal Lake, who said she was disgusted with what she called jaded and unprofessional conduct by board members who are delving into conspiracy theory.

Schofield, who is the county’s representative on the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, said Austin’s abilities and knowledge are respected by regional and state planners, which was more than she could say for her fellow members.

“It is this board that is dysfunctional right now. Please do not filter it down to the staff, because they are the only thing that is respected in this region right now,” Schofield said.

An attempt by member Chuck Wheeler, R-McHenry, to delay the new contract until next year, after the new County Board is seated following the Nov. 8 election, failed by a voice vote. Supporters said the new board that will be living with the contract should have the final say, while opponents said that new members with only a few months of experience will have no basis by which to evaluate Austin and his abilities.

The new board that will be seated in December will have at least seven new faces, or just less than one-third of its 24 members.

Village Board considers policy for public comment at meetings “It’s not about not wanting to hear from the public, it’s just about making it as orderly as possible.”

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – The Cary Village Board is considering adopting a public comment policy that would apply to village meetings.

Village Administrator Chris Clark said he brought the policy forward to help encourage public comments while having clear guidelines set in advance so there’s no confusion at meetings.

“Whether it be a small item, a big item, whatever the venue, it’s going to be helpful for you as a board for decision making, as well as for the public, in some fashion, to have a set of rules that they can pick up on the way in so there isn’t any confusion about how we operate,” Clark said at Tuesday’s Village Board meeting.

Agenda items regarding Sage Products’ expansion and a request from Meyer Material drew a crowd for the Oct. 4 Village Board meeting, which lasted nearly four hours and was held at the Crystal Lake Holiday Inn to provide for more space.

While Clark said the policy wasn’t directed toward a specific meeting, he said at multiple-hourlong meetings,

LOCAL BRIEF Salvation Army to honor 25 years in McHenry County this weekend

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Salvation Army in McHenry County will hold its 25th anniversary celebration Saturday.

The event will start at 7 p.m. and will be at The Salvation Army Corps Community Center, 290 W. Crystal Lake Ave., Crystal Lake.

The special event will highlight the county’s needs and show The Salvation Army’s appreciation to the community.

The Salvation Army offers McHenry County residents an array of services such as case management, emergency assistance, seasonal assistance, the summer Brown Bag Lunch Program and back-to-school supplies.

Entertainment during the event will be provided by musicians Norridge Citadel Band and Songsters.

Chris Clark

Cary village administrator the village needs to makes sure everyone has a fair chance to speak in a reasonable amount of time.

“It’s not about not wanting to hear from the public, it’s just about making it as orderly as possible,” Clark said.

The Cary Village Board provides two opportunities for public comment at board meetings – once during a general public comment session scheduled before the business portion of the meeting, and the next for specific agenda items.

The Illinois Open Meetings Act says public bodies must provide an oppor-

tunity for residents to address elected officials, and the Illinois Attorney General’s Office has issued a strong recommendation that all public bodies adopt rules to address the ways in which residents address elected officials, Village Attorney Adam Simon said.

Simon said the mayor already reminds people before public comment to keep to a three-minute comment, not be repetitive, not speak over others and that the comment section is over once it’s closed, unless a trustee asks to let a member of the public speak again.

The new policy notes guidelines including a 30-minute limit on the general public comment period, the chairperson being able to deny a person to speak a second time on the same topic at the same meeting and no one being able to address the board outside the public comment periods.

The rules are designed for meetings that require more formality and structure, Simon said, and could be waived by the board on a meeting-by-meeting basis.

Clark said he was looking for feedback from the board on the policy, and it would come before trustees again at the Nov. 15 Village Board meeting.

McHENRY – A new restaurant, Cafe 31 North, officially opened its doors Oct. 10 in McHenry.

Cafe 31 North is owned and operated by McHenry residents Jim Smith and Bernice Zubrzycki. The new cafe is in the same building as 31 North Banquets and Catering, 217 Front St., which Zubrzycki also owns.

“We’re excited to be bringing another restaurant to McHenry,” Zubrzycki said. “We’re all about fresh ingredients and bringing people breakfast and lunch with a delicious twist.”

Some of the cafe’s menu items include biscuits and gravy, which uses executive chef Dominick Armon’s recipe, and French toast, which is made with Zubrzycki’s family recipe.

“Armon is very well-known in the area, and he’s taking control of our breakfast concept, our catering division and our banquet concepts,” Zubrzycki said. “He’s just done an incredible job of adding to our repertoire.”

Smith said one already-popular menu item is the Monte Cristo, consist-

Artists revive old fire hydrants

By ANGELA SYKORA

editorial@lakecountyjournal.com When the art exhibit “Cows on Parade” debuted in Chicago in the summer of 1999 to boost tourism, Promote Fox Lake President Michael Lescher was so intrigued he made a special trip just to see it. When the village of Fox Lake began planning its own art installation earlier this year, he was eager to see how such an exhibit would be received by the community.

In the end, it wasn’t cows but retired fire hydrants that were repurposed into colorful sculptures all up and down Grand Avenue downtown this summer, and they’ve made quite an impression.

“We’ve gotten a lot of positive comments, not just from residents but people from other towns,” Lescher said.

“They’d see one hydrant on the sidewalk, then another, and walk the whole street to see them all. That’s the idea, and it’s working well.”

Fox Lake Community Development Director Donovan Day said he and Trustee Brian Marr were looking for an eye-catching public art display that would strengthen the village’s creative economy by showcasing local talent.

They came up with the “Inspire Hydrant” campaign, the first of what aims to be an annual series.

“We know other municipalities have done art projects in their downtown and thought this would be a great use for fire hydrants taken out of service,” Day said.

“Public works [department] had about 30, and we took the best 12.”

The village then put out a call for artists to submit a sketch depicting their idea. A panel of judges, including members of Promote Fox Lake, selected the top 12 designs from more than 20 submissions. The judges did not know the identity of the artists.

“It was difficult to do because they were all great,” Lescher said of the elimination process.

The artists, along with their hydrant theme, include: Kristina Bell of Fox Lake for “Anchor”; the Foster family, including Tim, Diane, Axton and Tianna, all of Fox Lake, for “Dream Big”; Fox Lake Trustee Brian Marr for “It’s Always 5 o’clock in Fox Lake”; Stacey Marszal of Cary for “Captain America”; Jessica Metropulos of Fox Lake for “Goldfish”; Carolyn Noga of Fox Lake for “Wish”; Laura Rudkin of Spring Grove for “Sparky”; Courtney Schneider of An-

tioch for “Sunflower”; Averie Schultz of Fox Lake for “Magic Man-Fox Lake is Pure Magic”; Danielle Torres of Fox Lake for “Probie”; Elizabeth Waddington of McHenry for “Hydrant Hydrangea”; and Jean Waschow of Fox Lake for “Blackhawks.”

The magic of Fox Lake

The youngest artist, 9-year-old Averie Schultz, said enjoys painting and spending time with her grandma, “because she’s an artist, too.”

“She gave me tips on how I should put the layers on to not make it fall apart,” said Averie, who creatively combed the Goodwill store for materials.

The “Magic Man” hydrant was inspired by Averie’s enchantment with her hometown. “I was just thinking about all the magic that goes on in Fox Lake. Basically, I think Fox Lake is kind of like a fairy tale,” she said.

Her mother, Carrie, couldn’t be prouder of her daughter’s ambition.

“When I saw what she wanted to do, I was very impressed. She did this all herself,” she said.

Flatlander Market to be featured on PARTY AT THE PLAZA!!

TV ad campaign Oct. 22nd • Noon – 3:00pm American Express focuses on local business support

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Don’t be surprised if you recognize a face or two when you walk into downtown Marengo’s Flatlander Market for lunch.

Owners Rocco Gailloreto and Sally Gailloreto will be featured on an national TV ad campaign from American Express to promote Small Business Saturday, which occurs the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The purpose of the campaign is to get residents to support local businesses in their communities.

“We feel very strongly about the promotion,” Rocco Gailloreto said.

“It’s neat that an international company like American Express focuses on folks like that. Marengo has gotten excited about [Small Business Saturday] in general, and we try to get the word out.”

Last year, 95 million people spent $16.2 billion at independent businesses on Small Business Saturday. More than 425 organizations joined the Small Business Saturday Coalition, an 11 percent increase from 2014, according to the Small Business Saturday Consumer Insight Survey from the National Federation of Independent Business and American Express.

Sally Gailloreto said. “We really try to stress to the community that we are here because you are supporting us.”

The Marengo-Union Chamber of Commerce will participate in the event and also continue its “Shop Local and Win” campaign, which encourages residents to buy products and gifts locally by giving away gift certificates to people who spend at least $200 in the Marengo and Union areas.

“Shopping local keeps our businesses in town so they may continue to thrive and provide for people locally” said Colleen Helfers, president/CEO of the chamber.

She added that the exposure Flatlander has received will boost the entire community.

“People will come by and then see another shop down the street,” she said. “It does bring a lot of benefit to everyone around.”

McHenry County Board Chairman

The Northwest Herald sent candidates in contested races questionnaires seeking their views on a variety of issues. Below are responses to four questions from McHenry County Board Chairman candidates. Responses to four other County Board chairman questions will appear in Friday’s Northwest Herald. Visit NWHerald.com/election-central to read all responses in this race and other contested races on McHenry County ballots.

– Dan McCaleb

MICHAEL WALKUP Republican

JACK FRANKS Democrat Why are you the best candidate for McHenry County Board chairman?

I have a plan for McHenry County that will lower our property taxes and create an environment for investment and growth. I have never voted for a tax or fee increase. I have been successful because I work collaboratively, and shun party labels. To solve our challenges we must work together and not engage in partisan politics. This is why nearly every mayor - Republicans and Independents alike - has endorsed me. I am giving up a seat in the Illinois House because nothing is more important to me than reducing property taxes and reversing the exodus of people from our communities.

I will fundamentally change the structure of government. I helped bring down a corrupt governor, now I will help build a government we can be proud of and prove that government can work for our citizens. Whether the odds are with me or against me, I will continue to stand up for what is right. I could not live with myself if I stayed on the sidelines because McHenry County needs real battle-tested leadership. That is why I am in this race, and that is why I am the best candidate for McHenry County Board Chairman.

I have been a Member of the County Board representing District 3 since 2012 and have served on most of the major committees during that time, including on the Operating Board for Valley Hi Nursing Home.

Following my arrival our county became probably the first local taxing body to refuse to take the annual cost of living tax increase that is allowed by state law, resulting in a permanent tax break of $2.5 million. We also cut the county budget by 10 percent, saving over $20 million each year. Last year I also spearheaded the temporary elimination of the Valley Hi levy saving an additional $3 million and am asking this year to make that permanent. I am also directing the effort to identify further savings that we can make going forward.

Many voters feel like they are overtaxed. What will you do to help keep county government spending down? Be specific.

We will reduce the tax levy by at least 10 percent. The only way to reduce taxes is for government to spend less – that is what I will fight for. I will require a “zero based budget.” This means that – instead of using last year’s budget numbers as a starting point, we start from scratch and justify every penny that government agencies claim to need. We will scrutinize every expenditure.

We will examine the procurement process to determine additional efficiencies and require more competitive bidding and will explore reverse auctions for complete transparency. I have met with the Mental Health Board and believe we can achieve further efficiencies that will actually increase services to our clients while reducing costs by paying off an onerous debt. It is inexcusable that Valley Hi has a surplus equal to four years of operating costs. The County Board allowed this unconscionable surplus, and has until recently allowed this surplus to grow unchecked. I will seek ways to rebate the surplus while ensuring that Valley Hi has the adequate resources necessary to serve out neediest residents. We will institute a culture of accountability, transparency and efficiency. Under my leadership, taxpayers’ interests will always come first.

First of all, it is important to realize that county government is only 10 percent of the overall tax bill, with about 70 percent coming from school districts. Therefore, anything done at the county level will have minimal impact on the tax bill. The reason that property taxes are so high is that the state legislature has been dumping their taxing responsibilities onto local governments for decades so they can balance their own budget. As discussed in the preceding answer, the county has been doing its part to reduce that portion of the tax bill it controls, and most people should have seen the county portion of their tax bills go down this past year. We intend to keep up with that but, at this point, we need to use a scalpel not a meat cleaver to avoid losing needed services.

Do you support reducing the number of members on the McHenry County Board? If so, what is a reasonable number? Explain.

I have proposed reducing the size of the County Board for some time. I brought this idea to the Board years ago and they rejected my suggestions; just as they rejected my suggestions to allow consolidation of redundant governments and to freeze property taxes. Since there is an election in two months, they put a nonbinding resolution on the ballot in order to convince the voters that they believe in reducing the size of the Board. When I am chairman, we won’t play these political games. We will reduce the size of the Board. I propose cutting the Board in half and going to single member districts to provide direct accountability and to save taxpayers money. Cook County which is 15 times larger than McHenry County - has seven fewer Board members than McHenry County. I plan on reducing the number of committees to six. In that way, we can be more efficient and transparent and allow the work to be done more quickly. Presently the system is designed to reward crony politics. It is cumbersome and repetitive. We must bring our County Board to a new era of efficiency, transparency and direct accountability.

Yes. I think that having a 24 member board makes deliberations at that level difficult. However, we currently have an extensive committee system in which every part of the county is represented on each committee. Due to changes in the Open Meetings Act, we can now reduce our committee sizes from 7 to 5 members. To keep the current representation, however, would mean going to 5 county board districts instead of the current 6. This will mean that overall size of the board would have to be either 10, 15 or 20, along with a Chairman. If we use single member districts, that committee representation aspect will be lost. That is why the referendum this year does not specify any particular size.

Do you support current plans to improve/expand Randall Road at and near Algonquin Road? Explain.

McHenry County desperately needs to improve its infrastructure in order to attract more businesses. We must bring in additional businesses – otherwise the property tax burden will continue to fall more disproportionately on homeowners. Besides the crushing property tax burden that our residents face, the lack of reliable public transportation and crumbling infrastructure are reasons that residents are fleeing. With the loss of residents, property values stagnate and the percentage paid in taxes by the remaining home owners rises. We must invest in infrastructure improvements and provide more public transportation options if we are to flourish and reach our full potential.

Investing in Randall Road is important for our future. Investing in the interchange at Interstate 90 and Route 23 is as well. Economists predict that with an investment of approximately $8 million on that interchange, our county will receive an economic benefit of between $580 million and $1.7 billion. Investment is critical – we can get strong return on our investment with increased economic activity and business tax revenues that will help ease the heavy burden on existing property taxpayers.

I supported the right-of-way purchase for the areas north of the current intersection as the prices will not be cheaper for that in the future. However, that does not mean that immediate expansion is needed. Traffic volumes have not been increasing, and there is no undeveloped space left in the immediate surrounding area that would be likely to generate more traffic. At this time we need to have a more comprehensive traffic study that can evaluate the extent to which future growth would increase traffic volumes for that intersection, as opposed to other areas of the county, and proceed from that. I would support some additional left turn lanes coming from one of the directions now as that seems to be needed.

Trump denial came after the release of a video in which he’s heard bragging about exactly that.

Trump denied the accusations anew Wednesday night, saying the women coming forward “either want fame or her campaign did it.” He falsely said the women’s allegations had been debunked.

Clinton said Trump “thinks belittling women makes him bigger. He goes after their dignity, their self-worth.”

She avoided answering a question

A CLOSER LOOK | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Trump denied any relationship with Putin and said he would condemn any foreign interference in the election. But he notably declined to back the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia was involved in the hacking of Democratic organizations. The Clinton campaign has said the FBI also is investigating Russia’s involvement in the hacking of a top adviser’s emails.

The 90-minute contest in Las Vegas came less than three weeks before Election Day and with early voting underway in more than 30 states. Trump has struggled to expand his support beyond his most loyal backers and must reshape the race in its closing days if he hopes to defeat Clinton.

The candidates clashed repeatedly over their drastically different visions for the nation’s future. Trump backed Supreme Court justices who would overturn the landmark Roe vs. Wade ruling, while Clinton vowed to appoint justices that would uphold the decision legalizing abortion, saying, “We have come too far to have that turned back now.”

The businessman entered the final debate facing a string of sexual assault accusations from women who came forward after he denied in the previous contest that he had kissed or groped women without their consent. That

on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, noting that she had originally called it the “gold standard” of trade agreements.

Clinton shot back that once the deal was finished, it didn’t meet her standards.

“I’m against it now. I’ll be against after the election. I’ll be against it when I’m president,” she said.

Both were asked if they would consider tax increases or benefit cuts to support Social Security and Medicare programs. Trump said he would cut taxes and repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, but he did not detail any plans for Social Security or other entitlement programs. Clinton said she would put more money in the Social Security trust fund through increasing taxes on the wealthy and other methods and promised not to cut benefits. She also argued that the Affordable Care Act has extended the solvency of Medicare and said she would work to bring costs down.

On foreign policy, Clinton reasserted her opposition to sending a largescale U.S. troop presence to the Middle East to defeat the Islamic State. She’s backed a no-fly zone in Syria, which would mark an expansion of the current U.S. strategy.

For Trump, the debate marked one of his final chances to shift the trajectory of a race that appears to be slipping away from him. Clinton’s campaign is confidently expanding into traditionally Republican states, while Trump’s narrow electoral path is shrinking.

Manufacturing, debt among disputed facts in debate

By CHRISTOPGER S. RUGABER and JOSH BOAK

would add $5.3 trillion over 10 years. But it’s plenty more than a penny.

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump painted an inaccurately dark portrait of manufacturing in America while Hillary Clinton stretched credulity in boasting that her spending plans won’t add to the country’s debt. As well, both struggled in the presidential final debate to explain comments from their past.

A look at some of the claims in the debate and how they compare with the facts:

TRUMP, referring to a 2010 U.S.-Russia treaty limiting both countries to 1,550 strategic nuclear warheads: “They create warheads. We can’t.”

The FACTS: Incorrect. The New START treaty, which Trump called “Start Up,” does not prevent either the U.S. or Russia from building nuclear warheads. It restricts each country to a total of 1,550 warheads deployed on bombers, submarines and in underground silos and requires that this limit be reached by February 2018.

The Associated Press

TRUMP: “We’re not making things anymore, relatively speaking.”

THE FACTS: Despite his “relatively speaking” hedge, the assertion is wrong.

U.S. factory production has more than doubled since 1979, when manufacturing employment was at its peak.

The problem is that it takes fewer people to produce more. The United States has lost more than 7 million factory jobs, a drop of nearly 40 percent, since the 1979 manufacturing employment peak.

Factory production, minus the cost of raw materials and certain other expenses, reached $1.91 trillion last year, according to the Commerce Department, which uses 2009 dollars to adjust for in-

Simple carbon monoxide precautions save lives SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman Because carbon monoxide (CO) can kill you, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) urges homeowners to take precautions to prevent poisoning from this deadly, odorless, colorless gas.

The CDC says, “Each year, more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning, more than 20,000 visit the emergency room, and more than 4,000 are hospitalized.”

The CDC explains that CO is found in fumes produced when fuel (including natural gas, wood, charcoal, propane, and oil) is burned in vehicles, stoves, lanterns, grills, fireplaces, gas ranges, and furnaces. CO can build up indoors, and poison people and animals who breathe in this “silent killer.”

The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headaches, dizziness, weakness, upset stomachs, vomiting, chest pains, and confusion.

How to prevent CO poisoning in your home?

Tom Eppers, co-owner,

Dowe & Wagner, a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning company serving residential and commercial customers in Illinois and Wisconsin, says: Install a battery-operated or battery back-up CO detector in your home, and check or replace the batteries at least once a year. Place the detector outside bedrooms, so it’ll be heard if it alarms. If it does alarm, immediately move everyone outside into fresh air and call 911. Replace your CO detector every five years.

The CDC urges homeowners to schedule annual inspections and service, by qualified technicians, for their heating system, water heater, and any other gas, oil, or coal burning appliances.

Eppers adds, “During a furnace inspection, we check the heat exchanger for cracks, which could leak carbon monoxide. Our technicians are trained and certified to evaluate sources of potential problems. We urge everyone to use and update their carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure gas appliances are properly installed and vented, and never patch a vent pipe with tape, which can cause CO to escape.”

CLINTON, on her opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal: “It didn’t meet my test.”

THE FACTS: It met her test when she was secretary of state and she promoted it worldwide.

Hacked emails from Clinton’s campaign, released Wednesday by WikiLeaks, showed that Jake Sullivan, her top foreign policy adviser, called her a “big champion” of the deal and worried about how to handle the issue in the face of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ opposition. She later flip-flopped into opposition during the Democratic primaries against Sanders.

Clinton said she no longer backs the proposed trade deal as written because it does not provide enough protections for U.S. workers on wages, jobs and the country’s national security. Yet the final deal also includes some of the strongest labor protections of any U.S. trade agreement.

By Diane Krieger Spivak Training, practice and eating right are all important for performing well in sports. But getting adequate sleep is just as vital.

High school athletes, especially, often don’t get enough sleep due to school work, sports and extracurricular activities. A good night’s rest is important academics and physical activities , but athletes typically need more sleep than non-athletes, studies show.

The quality and amount of sleep athletes get is often the key to winning, according to the National Sleep Foundation. REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep in particular provides energy to both the brain and body. Without adequate sleep, the body doesn’t have time to repair memory, consolidate memory, and release necessary growth hormones for muscle recovery and repair.

Research shows that sleep deprivation does increase levels of the stress hormone cortisol, however. It also decreases production of glycogen and carbohydrates that are stored for energy use during physical activity, so athletes who don’t get enough sleep don’t have the optimum energy and focus needed to perform at their best. It also slows recovery time, according to the Foundation.

With energy and focus already adversely affected by inadequate sleep, continued activity in sports even further depletes energy, fluids, and breaks down muscle. Getting a good night’s rest helps maintain endurance, speed, and accuracy. In fact, a study in the journal SLEEP shows that inadequate sleep results in declines in split-second decision making, according to the Foundation. Conversely, the study showed an increase in accuracy in wellrested subjects.

In a Stanford University study, basketball team members added two extra hours of sleep to their normal sleep time each day for several months. The results showed that they increased their speed by 5%, their free throws were 9% more accurate, they had faster reflexes and felt happier. Other studies showed similar benefits from the additional sleep for football players and other athletes, according to WebMD.

BRIEF Co-founder of Chicago blues label Chess Records dies at age 95

CHICAGO – Phil Chess, co-founder of a Chicago record label that amassed perhaps the most influential blues catalog of all time and launched the careers of Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters, has died. He was 95.

Chess died overnight Wednesday in Tucson, Arizona, according to his nephew, Craig Glicken, who spoke to the Chicago Sun-Times. Chess and his brother, Leonard, founded Chess Records in 1950, a label that not only recorded blues artists, but also the early rock ’n’ roll of Chuck Berry and Etta James’ rich vocal stylings. But it was

Chess Records that helped raise Chicago to its status as the capital of blues, Buddy Guy said.

“Phil and Leonard Chess were cuttin’ the type of music nobody else was paying attention to – Muddy, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy, Jimmy Rogers, I could go on and on – and now you can take a walk down (Chicago’s) State Street today and see a portrait of Muddy that’s 10 stories tall,” Guy, who recorded at Chess, said Wednesday in an emailed statement. “The Chess brothers had a lot to do with that. ...

I’ll always be grateful for that.”

RIP? Not if you’re a Cubs fan in a playoff year

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – If you want to know just how important the Cubs are to Chicago, a good place to start is at the end.

In a city where fans have been known to scatter ashes of the dearly departed at Wrigley Field, families of those who could no longer wait till next season are planting Cubs pennants and flags at the graves of loved ones or sending them off to the great beyond with Cubs hats and jerseys in their caskets.

Resting easy has never been easy for Cubs fans, after all.

Take the family of the late Norman and Florence Sanders. Relatives are making sure they still can do what they did their entire lives: Root for the Cubs.

“One of my daughters went and bought a W flag and about a week ago went to the cemetery and put it there with them,” said Terry Ann Arriaga, whose father died the year the Cubs came within five outs of reaching the World Series back in 2003 and whose mother passed during spring training this year.

As the Cubs try to reach the World Series for the first time since 1945 and win it for the first time

ILLINOIS

ROUNDUP

since 1908, Chicago is awash in Cubbie blue and red. Children head to school decked out in Cubs gear, and many grown-ups are doing the same at work. “Fly the W” flags are waving from car antennas, porches and museums, while bakeries are topping doughnuts and cookies with the Cubs logo. Death notices with the names of spouses, children and grandchildren now sometimes have a few words about the deceased’s devotion to the lovable losers.

“In lieu of flowers, go to a Cubs game and raise your glass in memory of Mary,” wrote the family of Mary E. Fickenscher after she died in June.

James Apostolopoulos’ family not only wanted to people to know that he’d fought in the Battle of the Bulge during World War II but also cheered for the Cubs. Kenneth Mueller’s family honored his wishes by burying him in a Cubs T-shirt, and his death notice last month asked those attending the wake to try to “wear Cubs’ attire.”

And when Jane Anne Del Carlo Barredo died, the only thing written of a life that began in Illinois in 1930 and ended in May in California was this: “Jane loved Jesus and the Cubs.”

Such a connection might help

explain a suspicion among Cubs Nation that the recently departed are somehow watching the playoffs – and maybe doing more.

When Miguel Montero hit a late grand slam in the first game of the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, “my daughter texted me and said, ‘Grandma’s up there pulling the strings,’ ” Arriaga said of her mother.

During the tense opener of the divisional playoff series against the San Francisco Giants, Sharon Thompson said her daughter-in-law started praying to George Thompson, who died June 1, to see what he could do.

“And what do you know, (Javier) Baez hit the home run,” she said.

The team is well-known for breaking the hearts of its long-suffering fans. But the Cubs reached the NLCS last season, too, and raced to the best record in the majors this season, giving fans a fresh jolt of hope and, for Thompson and others, a very real way to ease the grief.

“We just feel like the only way we can get through this emotionally is by saying he is here with us spiritually, enjoying this so much,” Thompson said.

CHICAGO – Officials said hundreds of drinking fountains in Chicago parks have been shut off after testing revealed high levels of lead in the water.

Chicago Park District officials said Tuesday they decided to take 459 of their 2,435 water fixtures out of service based on samples collected during the summer.

The Chicago Tribune reported that consultants found a wide range of lead levels in Chicago parks and Park District facilities, similar to earlier reports from Chicago Public Schools, suburban school districts and schools operated by the Archdiocese of Chicago.

Potential sources include lead pipes and solder or lead in fixtures. Park District officials said they took action when the amount of lead at a particular fountain or sink exceeded the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s action level of 15

The Daily Herald reported that state transportation officials are taking that precaution while they wait for new plows and trucks.

IDOT spokeswoman Gianna Urgo told the newspaper the agency needed to replenish its snow-removal fleet, which was deteriorating from normal wear and tear. She said that’s because of the state’s budget crisis and because IDOT was not allowed to buy new plows and trucks during the final two years of former Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration.

A stopgap budget authorized new equipment this summer, but it can take up to a year for assembly and delivery.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Fewer Just. Dept. election Sunshine State and sending the observers will be at polls money to competitive races in

WASHINGTON – Justice Department officials are warning that they’ll be dispatching fewer trained election observers as a result of a Supreme Court opinion that gutted a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. The reduction is likely to diminish the department’s ability to detect voter intimidation and other potential problems at the polls. It comes as more than a dozen states have adopted new voting and registration rules, and as Republican candidate Donald Trump warns without evidence that the Nov. 8 election will be rigged and exhorts his followers to be vigilant against unspecified fraud.

“It’s cause for concern,” said Dale Ho, director of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project. “It’s hard to know ahead of time how significant a problem it’s going to be.”

The decision leaves Murphy, who’s raised only about onethird as much as Rubio in recent months, largely on his own.

And it has prompted a round of second-guessing from Democrats who argue that Rubio is beatable, and that the party should not be helping him win a second term that could provide a perch for another presidential bid.

Modest gain seen for Obama’s last health care sign-up season

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Facing new challenges to a legacy law, the Obama administration on Wednesday set modest expectations for the president’s final health care sign-up season. The biggest worry: rising premiums and dwindling choices.

Some 13.8 million people are expected to sign up for 2017 coverage, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said. That would be an increase of a bit less than 9 percent from the 12.7 million who picked plans during open enrollment for this year.

This year is shaping up to be the most difficult sign-up season since HealthCare.gov launched in 2013 and the computer system froze up. But technology isn’t the issue this time. Premiums are going up by double digits in many communities, and some major insurers have left the program, leaving consumers with fewer choices next year.

The administration said taxpayer-provided subsidies designed to rise alongside premiums will cushion most of the pocketbook impact. About 85 percent of customers get financial help. And for those policyholders whose insurer bailed out, the government is automatically matching them to another carrier’s plan. It’s up to the consumer whether to accept the match or keep shopping.

Officials said returning customers will notice a smoother, more informative website, making it easier to compare plans. Those who are satisfied with their current plans don’t need to do anything; they’ll be automatically renewed.

Finally, the administration is ramping up outreach, with a particular goal of enticing younger, healthier people to enroll. Expect pitches on social media platforms, email and TV and radio as well as direct mail.

And the IRS will play a supporting role with a not-too-subtle nudge. Later this fall, the tax agency will send letters to people who did not get the minimum coverage required by the health care law. They’ll be reminded that going without insurance risks a fine from the IRS, and the basic penalty is now $695.

Some independent analysts said even a 9 percent sign-up increase will be a heavy lift.

Burwell asserted that the health care law’s insurance markets are strong and offer a product that people want and need. But she also acknowledged “that doesn’t mean the road has been perfectly smooth,” and the markets face “a transition period.”

Burwell criticized Republicans for their unyielding opposition, saying “at nearly every turn, we’ve had to overcome partisan attempts to repeal and undermine the law through legislation and litigation.” She called on Congress to cooperate on proposed fixes, such as a government-sponsored “public op-

Going into its fourth sign-up season, President Barack Obama’s health care law has yet to achieve stability. Enrollment has been lower than initially projected; insurers say patients turned out to be sicker than expected, and a complex internal system to help stabilize premiums did not work as intended, partly because of actions by congressional Republicans.

The law makes carrying health insurance a legal obligation for most people, and prohibits insurers for turning away the sick. It offers subsidized private plans to people who don’t have coverage through their jobs, along with a state option to expand Medicaid for low-income people. Largely as a result, the nation’s uninsured rate has dropped below 9 percent, a historically low level. More than 21 million people have gained coverage since the law passed in 2010.

The 13.8 million enrollment goal announced Wednesday actually represents an annual high-water mark. The initial sign-up number typically gets winnowed down by dropouts and people who find other coverage.

For example, the initial number reached 12.7 million this year. But HHS said Wednesday that enrollment averaged 10.4 million people through the end of June, which works out to attrition of about 18 percent.

The administration is hoping for a strong sign-up season to validate the president’s signature program, and for a victory by Democrat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election to shut down the Republican campaign for its repeal. Clinton has outlined steps she’d take to build enrollment and sweeten subsidies for consumers.

Indiana election official clarifies registration fraud probe

By BRIAN SLODYSKO The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS – A day after warning of potential widespread voting fraud, Indiana’s secretary of state acknowledged Wednesday that many of the thousands of altered registration forms she flagged might just be residents rushing to correct their names or birth dates ahead of the election.

Republican Secretary of State Connie Lawson told The Associated Press she wanted Indiana State Police to investigate to ensure there was no widespread fraud after her office found a heavier than usual number of changes to voter registration forms this election cycle.

“It’s very possible that because of heightened activity this year that many of those changes are changes that the individual made,” Lawson told the AP. “... That should give Indiana voters the comfort that we are vigilant, and we are protecting their rights, and the elections here are not rigged.”

Indiana is the home state of Gov. Mike Pence, the Republican vice presidential nominee, and also has contentious races for governor and U.S. Senate on the ballot.

State police reassured residents in a statement Wednesday that the system

Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence speaks Tuesday at the Coastline Conference & Event Center during a campaign rally in Wilmington, N.C. With contentious races for governor and the U.S. Senate on the Indiana ballot, Indiana’s secretary of state has flagged thousands of altered voter registration forms as part of a fraud investigation.

Indiana uses for voter registration “has not been compromised” but said the records Lawson turned over could serve as evidence of forgery in a separate voter fraud investigation it is pursuing.

That investigation spans 56 counties and focuses on Patriot Majority USA, a Washington, D.C.-based voter mobiliza-

tion group with ties to the Democratic Party that said it’s being targeted for political reasons.

Scrutiny of state voting systems across the U.S. has been heightened ahead of the Nov. 8 election. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly said the election could

be “rigged.” Pence hasn’t gone that far but has urged supporters to carefully watch polling stations to guard against irregularities.

“Voter fraud cannot be tolerated by anyone in this nation,” Pence said during a recent campaign stop this week in Ohio. “So I encourage you, demand that our public officials are upholding the integrity of the vote.”

The secretary of state’s office has refused to reveal how many individual voter registrations it has flagged for state police, saying only that the number is in the thousands. Lawson said her office conducted a review of the state voter system after receiving phone calls from an unspecified number of concerned citizens who were unable to access, or found inaccuracies in their online voter information.

“We stated that there were thousands of changes and we are not going to make any assumptions that they are all legitimate or all fraudulent,” Lawson said.

But other state elections officials said voter registration changes are not only routine but common.

County clerks around the state, who are responsible for entering voter data in the state’s system, could make a data entry error while processing a crush of registrations.

Iraqi town outside Mosul rises up against militants

By BRAM JANSSEN The Associated Press

AL-HUD, Iraq – The mutilated bodies of Islamic State group fighters were still strewn on the ground of this northern Iraqi town on Wednesday. One was burned. Another’s face was flattened by abuse.

Iraqi troops on the march toward Mosul moved into al-Hud a day earlier and declared it liberated. But they found residents had already risen up and killed many of the militants in the town themselves.

With the offensive to recapture Mosul in its third day, Iraqi forces advancing from the south and east are fighting to retake the towns and villages that dot the plains and line the Tigris River leading to the city. At times, they’ve met fierce resistance, with the militants sending explosives-packed vehicles careening toward the troops’ positions.

This area has been under control of the militants ever since the summer of 2014, when IS fighters captured Mosul and much of the north in a lightning advance.

In al-Hud, a Sunni Arab town on the Tigris, residents saw their chance to get rid of them. On Monday, a man paraded through town with an Iraqi flag in a show of defiance, residents told The Associated Press. IS fighters shot and killed him.

A group of residents gathered in a shop, news spread among the hundreds of people living in the town, and

soon a crowd turned on the militants.

One resident, Ahmed Mohammed, said he and others shot a militant who was hiding by an outhouse behind a shop. “That didn’t work. Then one of our guys came and threw a grenade on him from the top,” he said.

Gasim Mohammed said his father was killed in the uprising against the militants. He kicked the head of one of the bodies. “This one smells like a dog,” he said.

“I hate them. Anyone I catch, I’ll drink his blood. Even if it’s a child,” he said.

It was not clear how many militants had been in the village or how many were killed. The Associated Press saw at least five bodies.

The head of the Iraqi military’s operations command for Nineveh province where the offensive is taking place confirmed the residents’ account.

“Before we reached the village they fought them and killed many of them,” Maj. Gen. Najim al-Jobori said.

On Wednesday, residents were celebrating. Children ran toward an Iraqi military convoy waving peace signs while others threw stones at the bodies of the dead IS fighters. Residents fired celebratory rounds into the air and cars along the main road still flew white flags of surrender.

At Qayara air base, near al-Hud, a senior Iraqi general called on Islamic State group fighters in Mosul to surrender. Lt. Gen. Talib Shaghati told reporters that up to 6,000 IS fighters are in the city.

Sugar tax is a bad idea

Moral superiors are at it again The sugar tax is back.

It was rejected earlier this year by the General Assembly, but proponents of levying significant new taxes on sweetened beverages have narrowed their aim. Instead of the state, the focus now is on Cook County.

Board Chairwoman Toni Preckwinkle last week proposed a penny-an-ounce tax on sweetened drinks, including soda, lemonade, sports drinks. It also would cover artificial sweeteners and drinks sold from fountains as well as in containers.

A 12-ounce can of Coke would cost an extra 12 cents. A six-pack of the same size container would cost consumers an additional 72 cents. A case of 24 cans would set a consumer back nearly $3.

In other words, Preckwinkle is asking for a lot.

Generally, these proposals are put forward as health measures. Soft drink critics charge that too many people drink too many soft drinks and, as a consequence, become obese. But millions of people who consume soft drinks don’t become obese either.

That, however, is not a great sales pitch. It smacks too much of – and rightfully so – nanny state government where the moral superiors dictate the choices of those they consider their moral inferiors.

So Preckwinkle is touting her tax plan as part of a crime-fighting package that will raise $174 million and be used to finance law enforcement measures and threatened budget cuts if it’s not adopted.

“This budget, instead, calls not only for dedication to criminal justice reform, but a significant investment on public safety,” she said.

Of course, that estimate of $174 million in new revenues is strictly speculation. People aren’t stupid. If this proposal becomes law, it’s only a matter of time before consumers drive across the county line to a store in a neighboring county or across the state line to Indiana.

When they do, they’ll buy their soft drinks and everything else they want.

These sugar drink proposals have been introduced in states and cities across the country. One of the latest to adopt this approach was Philadelphia, where the measure faces a court challenge.

Essentially, sugar tax supporters are trying to do to the soft drink supporters what anti-tobacco groups have done to smokers – make products so expensive people won’t buy them.

It’s a bully-boy style of doing business, one that puts many people off. But it’s becoming an increasingly common approach for those who know best what choices other people should make.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump should be more like Nixon At the first presidential debate, Donald Trump said he would “absolutely” accept the outcome of the election as the will of the people. But that was before poor debate reviews rolled in and boasts of sexual assault surfaced, sending his campaign into a tailspin. Trump has since backtracked, claiming that the election might be stolen from him. And if it is, guess who will be to blame?

As usual, Trump leaves little to the imagination.

“I just hear such reports about Philadelphia,” he said at a rally in Pennsylvania last week. “We have to make sure that this election is not stolen from us and is not taken away from us. Everybody knows what I’m talking about.”

Yes, we do. Philadelphia is a predominantly minority city.

Trump is suggesting that black and Latino voters might steal an election from a candidate with record-low approval numbers among them. No one has ever

accused him of being subtle.

It’s true that Philadelphia has seen isolated incidents of electoral fraud, as have other places in America. In recent years, several hundred people have been convicted for election fraud, but most of them engaged in double voting, illegal registration and other individual crimes, not grand conspiracies to steal elections coordinated by party officials.

The sloppy state of voter registration records is a disgrace.

But widespread electoral fraud has not occurred in a national election in the modern era, and the controls now in place to prevent it are stricter than at any time in history. If Trump loses the election, he will have only himself to blame. Yet, just as he did after losing some state primaries, he gives every indication that he is preparing to claim a rigged vote, and in the process stoke racial and ethnic divisions.

It is incumbent upon voters

and elected officials – particularly those in his own party – to demand that Trump show more respect for this most basic of democratic traditions, as a few already have.

After years of perpetuating the birther lie, the American public should not have to tolerate another Trump attempt at undermining a president’s legitimacy.

The last time allegations of widespread election fraud marred a national election result was 1960, when John F. Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon by 9,000 votes in Illinois and 46,000 votes in Texas.

Nixon’s supporters urged him to demand recounts, but he refused, saying, “Our country can’t afford the agony of a constitutional crisis, and I damn well will not be a party to creating one just to become president or anything else.”

Trump, who says he admires Nixon, should be prepared to exercise as much restraint.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Debates difficult to watch

The dictionary definition of Debate is “a formal discussion on a particular topic in a public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing arguments are put forward.”

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that neither presidential candidate puts forth any effort to debate the issues that directly affect every American today? It is difficult at best to watch these debates knowing that questions posed by the moderators are seldom answered and the candidates frequently go off into tangents not related to the questions.

If you want to watch 2 adults engage in juvenile behavior, then this is great theater, otherwise it accomplishes nothing and only benefits the networks.

Protect historic oak trees

Three majestic bur oaks used to grace the southwest corner of Route 176 and Terra Cotta/Pingree Road in Crystal Lake. These three oaks may well have preceded settlement of the area, but they endured. They were a piece of our past, a link to a time when oak-dominated landscapes covered much of the county.

A countywide study found that

Be the difference for the lonely

To the Editor: Autumn. The season for preparing meals that warm our homes. The trees change, the horizon darkens early, and the temperature dips. We begin to habitually ease into our seasonal traditions sometimes not even realizing that it’s begun.

Traditions. For me, autumn means clearing the garden and making eggplant parmesan. The cryptic instructions come through my aunt by way of her father, and his, from halfway across the world in Northern Italy, Milan. Yes, there is a difference in preparations between recipes from the North and the South.

Difference. Autumn can also be the beginning of isolation for people with family challenges, or those in recovery, or others estranged. You may know them very well and not even know that they walk beside you. After my father died, I was one of those happy ghosts with no one to share the holidays with. Family estate problems plagued our relationships and addiction drove deep chasms in our connections.

Connections. As autumn deepens and the leaves fall, stay vibrant! Pull out ugly sweaters, go to crazy holiday gatherings, reconnect with people you haven’t seen. And while you do, ask yourself, who’s missing? Because you see, we don’t just go to family

So much for accessibility

To The Editor: Recent letter writers praise County Board chairman candidate Jack Franks for being “accessible, effective, and informative.”

Having served four years on the McHenry County Legislative Committee, we asked, on numerous occasions, that Rep. Franks join us for discussion on legislation being considered in Springfield, legislation that would have financial impact to county government. Those invitations were rebuffed. We finally went so far as to draft a letter suggesting that he identify a date and time and we could call a special meeting so he could join us.

There was no response to this request. One example and so much for accessibility!

Explain Clinton to kids

To the Editor: In response to Sandra Peterson’s question of “what do we tell our children?” (It’s Your Write, Oct. 7), I’d like to provide these tidbits of wisdom given to me by my very wise and dearly departed grandfather: 1. Focus on what people do, not what they say, especially when dealing with politicians.

2. “Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.”

3. Never let someone’s words hurt

you; do not allow yourself to become a victim.

4. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

This is what you get from a generation of participation trophies, overblown political correctness and media with an agenda and the ability to spin things any direction they want with no repercussions. I’d much rather try to explain what Trump said versus what Hillary has done. Only one of these candidates has made disastrous decisions that got Americans killed, lied under oath, destroyed evidence and obstructed justice. Explain that to your kids.

Support new library

To the Editor: Democracy requires an informed citizenry. From the founding of our nation, public libraries have been a source of knowledge. Libraries have changed with the times and are no longer glorified warehouses for books.

Libraries serve every generation from preschoolers to the aged with programs, meeting space and, yes, availability to otherwise unaffordable books and other media. Even in our digital age, libraries serve these vital functions. No iDevice can provide study carrels or program rooms.

Sadly, Crystal Lake has a library housed in an obsolete building. It’s too old, too small, and has already been pushed to the limits of capacity.

The current building is literally falling apart. To maintain it would cost more than replacement with a new stateof-the-art facility. Over time, the new building will be a savings, not a cost.

The proposal for a new building in the same central location deserves our support.

Stan Perrin Crystal Lake

• Day, date, 2016

To the Editor: Crystal Lake needs a new library.

Here are two reasons why: As a member of the League of Women Voters of McHenry County, my biggest disappointment with the current library is that we cannot hold community meetings in this central location. Because there is no room large enough to accommodate a forum for citizen discussion of critical and timely issues, we are left with out-of-the way facilities or cannot hold them at all.

Missed opportunities for discussion include redistricting, pros and cons of charter schools, and voting rights.

Secondly, as a resident of Crystal Lake, I want to see our neighborhoods improve so that young families will be attracted to our good schools and have an excellent, modern library to serve us for decades into the future.

Please vote “yes” on the library referendum on Nov. 8.

McHenry County has lost 85 percent of its presettlement oak trees. As a result of that study, concerned citizens working with the county government have made a concerted effort to protect our last remaining oaks. Project Quercus and Oakkeepers are a result of that effort.

On a recent drive through that intersection I was dismayed to see that these three sentinel oaks had been cut down to make way for a Casey’s gas station. Apparently, no one cared enough to insist that any development take care to protect these trees.

Just like that, we’ve lost a small bit of the character that makes Crystal Lake and McHenry County unique. A link with our past is now gone forever.

The city needs to adopt a policy of protecting historic oak trees when considering future development proposals.

You can’t grow oak trees like those.

BUSINESS

Small businesses look for ways to get advantage

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Tim and Bobbi Hays knew nothing about bagels before making them their livelihood.

Ray Binkowski walked away from a mechanical engineering job to buy and run a gym.

Mohammed Labadi sleeps maybe four hours a night.

Such is life as a small business owner.

For the Hayses – who opened Barb City Bagels in December 2014 after careers in education – being the owners of a small business isn’t about amassing great wealth. It has become a way to help their children go to college - their sons, Benjamin, 21, and twins Aaron and Jacob, 19, are attending Moody Bible College in Chicago and are looking to join the ministry.

“A friend of mine who owns a business in another town, she always likes to say when people buy at a small business, you’re not only buying a product,” said Bobbi Hays, who lives in Cortland. “You’re helping to pay somebody to let their kid have dance lessons, or to be able to get the extra speech therapy they might need if their child has speech issues, or allow them to send their kid to college.

“It’s not just buying a product. I’m helping people be able to make a better life.”

Five years ago, Labadi opened The Huddle in DeKalb, a burger restaurant in a space tucked into the back of a strip of stores, and said he’s just now

Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com

The Huddle owner Mohammed Labadi puts finishing touches on a customer’s falafel wrap Sept. 29 at the DeKalb restaurant. breaking even. A bright-green bumper sticker next to the front door reads, “Support Your Local Economy.”

Labadi graduated from Northern Illinois University with a degree in electrical engineering, before realizing a long-held dream of opening a restaurant, which he said began when he worked at a restaurant during college.

“It inspires you when you see locals doing well and creating jobs, and their business is prospering,” said Labadi, who lives in Cortland. “We want to do that. We want to do it. If we work together, we can create a great amount of

resources, with NIU and the students that are looking for internships and have ideas. We have people in DeKalb with the means to do something with those ideas.”

While some businesses start from scratch, Binkowski bought a previously established local gym and eventually got a new location and a new name – FitWorkz.

Binkowski jokes that he spent five years pestering Paul Wright to sell him the Wright Athletic Club, before he finally got his wish in 2007. While studying mechanical engineering at Northern Illinois in the 1990s, Binkowski caught the fitness bug and lost more than 50 pounds. He sold his stake in a mechanical engineering company for the chance to own FitWorkz.

FitWorkz has been operating in DeKalb since 1978, changing hands and locations before settling on Binkowski’s shoulders. He admits that taking over an established enterprise has its benefits – people know the brand – but it also puts pressure on the new owners to not be the ones who run it into the ground.

“With small business, every day there’s always that question: Am I going to be able to make it today? This month? This year?” said Binkowski, who lives in Sycamore and has written three health-related books, including “Eat By Color.”

“But at the same time, I think most small businesses owners just decide failure is not an option. It’s just the way it is. I’m going to find a way to innovate and be resourceful enough to

resolve any problem.”

Some small businesses realize that they must adapt to the technological age. Binkowski recently announced his gym will begin to operate 24 hours, and he’s created online workouts for clients who don’t live in the area. The Hayses use an iPad to process point-ofsale transactions and provide free WiFi to attract college-aged clientele – a customer segment they said has grown almost 20 percent.

Labadi said his location close to campus is both a strength and a weakness. When NIU is in session, business is good. But in the summer, things slow down.

“It would have been much cheaper for me to close the business in the summer – much cheaper,” Labadi said.

“I’d say it would be about 30 percent of what I lose, but I don’t want to do that for the sake of my employees that are here full-time or part-time and for the sake of the regular customers. You have to plan accordingly when you look at the whole year.”

At Barb City Bagels, they bake between 400 and 800 bagels a day, donating leftovers to First Baptist Church of Sycamore. While the company helps the community by giving away the leftover bagels, Bobbi Hays said, the reliance on the community helps keep Barb City Bagels in business.

“If we all decided to help each other just a little bit more, maybe we’d need a little bit less of Uncle Sam,” she said.

“Life is crazy and busy, and cities are big, but there’s something to be said for neighbor helping neighbor.”

LOS ANGELES – Michael Jordan, Bugs Bunny and friends are returning to the court, and theaters, to mark the 20th anniversary of “Space Jam.” The 1996 basketball-themed adventure, which combined the real life Jordan with animated Looney Tunes characters, will be back on screens in select theaters for two days next month. Fathom Events and Warner Bros. said the screenings will be Nov. 13 and Nov. 16.

Basketball greats Larry Bird, Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing also appear in the film, as does Bill Murray, who joins with Jordan to defeat a team of aliens.

Khloe Kardashian: Kim’s robbery ‘a wake-up call’

AP file photo

Garth Brooks sings “Ain’t Going Down” during a concert July 8 at Yankee Stadium in New York. A week after launching its new paid streaming music service, Amazon announced a deal with the country superstar.

Garth Brooks joins Amazon’s streaming service NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A week after launching its paid streaming music service, Amazon announced a deal with one of streaming music’s biggest holdouts: country superstar Garth Brooks.

Brooks, the best-selling solo artist in U.S. history with 138 million albums sold, has kept his music off streaming services. On Wednesday, select albums and songs will be available on Amazon Music Unlimited.

His albums, previously available only through his GhostTunes service, will be sold digitally via Amazon Music.

Brooks said he waited until the right partner came along before he was ready to dive into streaming.

“I love retail to death, but retail will never tell me what my stuff is worth and will never tell me how to sell it,” Brooks said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles. “That’s the tail wagging the dog for me.”

“This is a landmark moment for both Amazon Music and Garth Brooks,” said Steve Boom, vice president of Amazon Music, in a statement. “Garth Brooks is a legendary country music superstar who continues to shatter industry records and amaze fans three decades into his career. We are honored to make his music available for streaming for the first time ever, exclusively on Amazon Music.”

Brooks entered semi-retirement in 2000 near the height of his popularity to spend more time with his children and wife, Trisha Yearwood. In 2014, he returned with a major tour and a new album, “Man Against Machine.”

His upcoming albums, “Gunslinger” and “Christmas Together” with Yearwood, will be added to the streaming service later this year.

LOS ANGELES – Khloe Kardashian is calling her sister’s robbery in Paris “a wake-up call for everybody” but is pushing back against criticism that Kim Kardashian West had been too public in displaying her wealth.

“Pulling back on social media I think is a personal choice. ... No matter what you post or don’t post. ... That shouldn’t give someone a reason to feel like they could do anything like that to you,” she said in an interview Tuesday.

“But we definitely are just being more aware and I think just making changes to our lives.”

Armed robbers forced their way into West’s hotel room, tied her up and locked her in a bathroom before making off with more than $10 million worth of jewelry.

Khloe Kardashian, 32, said the Oct. 3 robbery was “an incredibly traumatic experience for Kim and she’s definitely taking some well needed and much deserved time off.”

She said she isn’t sure when Kardashian West, 35, would make another public appearance, but she batted down rumors that her sister would be leaving the family’s reality series “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”

Bon Jovi sets rumor straight on buying Tennessee Titans NEW YORK – Bon Jovi’s upcoming album is entitled, “This House is Not For Sale,” and apparently neither are the Tennessee Titans.

Earlier this week, CBS Sports reported that Bon Jovi and Peyton Manning were “monitoring the Tennessee Titans ownership

situation,” leading to speculation they were looking to purchase the Nashville-based team.

That prompted Titans acting owner, Amy Adams Strunk to say the team is not for sale.

On Wednesday, Jon Bon Jovi sat down with The Associated Press to set the record straight.

“Let me dispel the rumors right now,” he said with a laugh. “I wake up to these headlines with my name on them, and they’re just not true. I want to make it perfectly clear that the team is not for sale, nor has it ever been, and I respect and admire (late franchise founder) Bud Adams’ legacy. End of story, I wish them all the success in the world.”

Woodley pleads not guilty in N.D. pipeline protest

BISMARCK, N.D. – Actress Shailene Woodley has pleaded not guilty in a North Dakota court to criminal trespass and riot charges after her arrest in a protest against the Dakota Access pipeline.

Court records show the “Divergent” star entered her pleas on Tuesday through her attorney, Alexander Reichert. Woodley and 26 other activists were arrested Oct. 10. She livestreamed her protest on Facebook.

The Standing Rock Sioux want construction of the $3.8 billion pipeline halted, saying it could taint the water supply and encroach on tribal burial sites. Protests supporting the tribe have been going on for months.

Woodley could face 60 days in jail and $3,000 in fines if she is convicted of criminal trespass and engaging in a riot.

Frozen shoulder resolves on its own Dear Dr. K: What exactly is a frozen shoulder, and can I do anything to speed up the healing process?

Dear Reader: Everyday, temporary shoulder aches and stiffness are common. Frozen shoulder is different. The shoulder starts to ache, particularly when you move it. Lifting a pan from the stovetop, brushing your hair, scratching your back – they all hurt.

So you move your shoulder less. The pain and mobility become substantially worse over time. The condition usually affects just one shoulder.

Pain and loss of mobility of a shoulder can be caused by other conditions, too.

Arthritis of the shoulder or an infection in the shoulder joint, for example, can cause similar symptoms.

What is frozen shoulder? The bones, ligaments and tendons that make up your shoulder joint are wrapped in a capsule of connective tissue. Frozen shoulder occurs when this capsule thickens and becomes inflamed.

The inflammation and thickening of the shoulder capsule often results from shoulder injury or surgery. A common type of shoulder injury that can lead to frozen shoulder is a tear in the rotator cuff.

Your risk also increases if you have any of several other underlying medical conditions. Examples include diabetes, various autoimmune diseases or conditions that cause you to use the shoulder less, such as a stroke or Parkinson’s disease.

The trademark symptoms include pain and worsening stiffness. At first, the shoulder is painful, but range of motion is still good. As the condition progresses, range of motion begins to decrease. By the time the shoulder eventually becomes “frozen,” much of the pain has resolved, but you have difficulty moving your shoulder at all.

The good news is frozen shoulder

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff resolves on its own – but at a glacial pace.

The entire cycle from early symptoms to recovery can last from nine months to two years.

Frozen shoulder has three stages: freezing, frozen and thawing. Here are some things you can do at each stage to move your recovery along, or at least ease discomfort.

• Freezing. This is the slow, gradual buildup of pain and stiffness. Over time, you notice the shoulder losing more of its range of motion as the capsule becomes thicker.

During this period, the inflamed shoulder can be quite painful. Occasional steroid injections can help ease the discomfort, but may not speed recovery. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil), also can help.

• Frozen. The pain begins to lessen, but your range of motion is the most limited. It is still hard to lift your arm overhead. And you often have difficulty with everyday movements, such as dressing or reaching into your back pocket. In some cases, arthroscopic surgery may help loosen the joint capsule so it can move more freely.

• Thawing. Stiffness goes away as the shoulder begins to heal. This is when you begin stretching exercises and formal therapy to help restore flexibility and range of motion.

The good news? Once your shoulder heals, frozen shoulder seldom returns.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY was “ghosted” by a woman I Jeanne had been in a Phillips long-distance relationship with.

It lasted four years until one day she just never responded again.

We are both parents, both 30, so it’s hard for me to understand how someone could do this to a person you’ve had a history with and claim to love. It seems like a child’s reaction. I’m finding it hard to move past this, because I have no idea what happened.

I feel blindsided. Could she have been hurt or died? I have no one to contact and no way to know. My question is, how does one go about moving past this, since it wasn’t a typical breakup? – Can’t Go Forward Dear Can’t Go: What the person did was cowardly, but I’m sorry to say it isn’t that unusual these days. What is unusual is during the four years you were in a relationship, you never met any of her friends or family, and have no idea how to contact her. Are you absolutely sure she is who she claimed to be and not a catfisher?

I agree for someone to do what she did was childish. It also was brutal, and you might need counseling to help you get over it and learn to trust again.

Dear Abby: My question might seem odd, but your advice would be appreciated.

I have family who live in another city and have a medium-sized active dog. I have invited them to visit me in my newly built home, which has soft pine floors throughout. I mentioned to them I would like to supply dog booties when they visit so their dog’s claws would not scratch my brand-new floors.

I have tried inviting them numerous times over the past two years, but they always have an excuse why they can’t visit. Another family member told me a comment was made, “If we have to put booties on our dog and they want a showcase home, then it will be empty of us.”

Am I being silly and too particular with my request and thereby causing ill feelings within the family? – Dog Booties In Canada Dear Dog Booties: Your request is neither picky nor “silly.” After paying top dollar for a new floor, I know I certainly wouldn’t want somebody’s pet scratching it up. A considerate guest either would comply or leave the dog at home. If they prefer not to accept your invitation, let them.

Dear Abby: I love to cook for my family. My granddaughter now has become a vegan. It has taken away my enjoyment for the fun meals we used to have. I no longer can cook for her, and it has changed the family dynamics. How can I cope with this without being angry? – Sad Down

What to watch NLCS: Cubs at L.A. Dodgers, 7 p.m., FS1 Now a best-of-three series, Game 1 starters Jon Lester (19-5) and Kenta Maeda (16-11) square off in Game 5.

HAMPSHIRE – Doug Stuehler leapt with an idea and a longshot of hope.

When he landed, he saw the ball rolling into the net, a “phenomenal” feeling as he had just given Hampshire a lead late in overtime of its Class 2A Burlington Central Regional semifinal Wednesday.

Stuehler challenged a clearance by the Burlington Central goalkeeper and blocked the kick back into the Rockets’ goal.

“It was just absolutely insane,” Stuehler said. “I saw him intentionally pass the ball back to the keeper, so I knew he had to kick it and I figured, ‘Hey if I pressure this, there’s that chance it could deflect off me and go into the goal,’ and that’s exactly what happened.

“I got lucky. I don’t even know if that’s skill, it’s just hard work and luck, and that’s what wins games.”

Stuehler’s goal helped the WhipPurs beat host Burlington Central, 3-2, in overtime to advance to the regional final.

“It’s a crappy way to lose, and a great way to win,” Whip-Purs coach John Gosling said.

Prairie Ridge won the second semifinal, 4-0, over Sycamore, to set up a Fox Valley Conference rematch in the regional final, scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday at Burlington Central. Hampshire won the regular-season meeting, 3-2.

“They’re excited,” Prairie Ridge coach Colin Brice said of his players for the rematch with Hampshire.

“That’s where I used to coach, as well, so pretty big rivalry between myself and coach Gosling. The boys are definitely excited to go out and get a little revenge.”

In the night’s first semifinal, Hampshire came out flying and jumped out to a quick lead, with Jack Fairwood scoring from a Jesus Rivera assist, just 2:21 into the match. Rivera added to that lead in the 46th minute.

The hosts weren’t going away and slowly stole the momentum. Jack Schramme pulled one goal back in the 65th minute, and then, with the Rockets pressing and pressing, an equalizer came from a mad scramble in the final two minutes. A Burlington Cen-

“It’s that two-goal lead, that dreaded two-goal lead,” Gosling said. “Teams relax and you give up one and you’re going, ‘OK, we’re still 2-1 up,’ and then it was a mistake, a couple mistakes and we let them back in the game. You can’t, that’s high school, unfortunately, you give teams life, you give them energy, and that’s the result.”

A scoreless first overtime set the stage for Stuehler’s eventual winner.

The Burlington Central coaches protested with the referees that Stuehler had come from an offside position, but the referee said that because the defender had played the ball, it brought Stuehler back into the play.

“Kudos to Doug for being Johnny on the spot, lucky break,” Gosling said.

Hampshire’s win was a dose of revenge after Burlington Central beat the Whip-Purs in a regional final last season at Hampshire. “The desire was above anything else,” game-winning goal-scorer Doug Stuehler said. “Everyone’s been working so hard. We came into this game knowing we cannot lose this or else weren’t not going to be able to live with ourselves, losing twice in a year to them, getting knocked out in the first round.

Beat Hampshire, and Jacobs most likely in playoffs

Jacobs receiver Aidan Ludlum can’t secure a pass as Prairie Ridge’s Nikolaus Koelblinger defends Friday in Algonquin. With a victory over Hampshire on Friday, the Eagles (4-4) most likely will secure a playoff berth. season, although quarterback Chris Katrenick still has been able to hit on some big passing plays.

“We’ve been playing pretty well,” junior defensive end Eric Schutt said. “Our defense has played well when we all do our jobs, and the offense has been capitalizing on key moments when we need to. We’re looking forward to getting in, we want to make a good playoff run.”

The Eagles lost to Prairie Ridge, the No. 2 team in The Associated Press Class 6A poll, 42-0, last week. Yet the coaches and players found positives in that game, which they trailed, 14-0, at halftime.

“Prairie Ridge is a really good team, they’re going to do very well this year,” Wormsley said. “We had opportunities in

the first half, but we didn’t take advantage of them. It could have been a tied ballgame at halftime.

We proved we could hang with the best. We took the fight out there and we’re battling. We’ve kind of gotten stuck this whole year playing two quarters, three quarters, and not finishing a game.”

For a team loaded with juniors, it would be an important step for the program to reach the playoffs for the sixth time in Mitz’s seven years.

“It’s a big tradition here,” Schutt said. “The juniors, sophomores and freshmen now pass it down and keep it going. It was a tough conference, but we like the competition because we like showing how good we can be and how we can hang with some of the best teams in the state.”

• Thursday, October 20, 2016

Jacobs guard Jimmy Wormsley remembers the feeling all too well from his freshman season.

The Golden Eagles were 4-4 that season, after a 4-1 start, and beat McHenry in Week 9. However, the cutoff for playoff points was one of the highest in IHSA history, with only one of the five 5-4 teams with 39 points getting in.

Jacobs was the fifth on that list, and was left out.

“It just crushed us,” said Wormsley, a junior. “It was very emotional. It’s going to be awesome, we have an opportunity to get in, we’re guaranteed the points. It’s a great opportunity for the seniors to keep the season going, to keep the legacy going.”

Jacobs (4-4 overall, 3-4 Fox Valley Conference) should be in with a win over Hampshire (3-5, 2-5) at 7:15 p.m. Friday at Hampshire. The Eagles have 37 playoff points and are guaranteed three more points from FVC games.

They should pick up another point from Crystal Lake South (2-6) playing at West Chicago (17).

“It’s a big opportunity for the kids, and we’re excited,” Eagles coach Bill Mitz said. “We’re 4-4, we lost to a good team (Prairie Ridge) last week, and getting into the tournament is a huge accomplishment. It’s not easy.”

It is the first time the two District 300 schools have played in football. Hampshire’s playoff chances slipped away last week in a 34-22 loss to McHenry, but the Whip-Purs present a challenge with quarterback Jake Vincent and a potent passing game.

Jacobs will counter with a power running game it started using midway through the

Gio Purpura rushed for 262 yards and two touchdowns on 34 carries in McHenry’s 34-22 win over Hampshire. Readers of the Northwest Herald voted Purpura the football player of the week.

What did you eat before the game? I had a PB&J at lunch and I also had some Dunkin’ (Donuts) right after school.

Do you have a pregame ritual? Going to Dunkin’. I usually go before the games, and also I wear a shirt under my jersey. I’ve worn the same shirt every single game since freshman year. It says ‘State Finals Track and Gio Purpura Field,’ it’s from sixth grade. I don’t know why I picked that shirt.

Is there anyone you style your game after? Not really, my favorite player ever is LaDainian Tomlinson. Watching him play when I was younger really pushed me to try to play running back. I don’t try to really be him, but watching him and picking up on his moves has really helped me out.

What’s your proudest sports moment? Honestly, I’d have to say winning this week, beating Hampshire and going 6-2. I feel so honored to be the first (McHenry) team since 2007 to go back to the playoffs. It’s just a huge deal for not only the football team, but for the town, for McHenry.

Who’s your biggest hero? Definitely my dad (Joe Purpura) and my mom (Kelly Hensley). My dad, he does a lot for me before and after games. He always goes over (games), he criticizes, but in a good way. He tells me what he thinks I did wrong and what I could have done. My mom is always there for me. I always hear her in the stands, no matter what. She’s definitely got the biggest mouth out there. Even though sometimes she doesn’t know what she’s talking about, she’s always yelling at me during the game. I love both of them, and they’re both my heroes.

Do you have any hobbies outside of sports? It’s kind of hard to. Over the summer, I started working at Dunkin’, actually. I thought it was a lot of fun being able to work with all my friends.

Who’s your funniest teammate? Colton (Klein) said it was Mariano (Cruz), but I’d have to go with Colton. Colton is definitely one of the funniest guys that I know. He always knows how to brighten up the situation.

Who does the best imitation of coach Nat Zunkel? Colton probably does. The O-line imitates him sometimes, but it’s all fun and games.

Who’s your favorite superhero? Batman, because he’s not really a superhero.

If you could invite any three people to dinner, who would it be? Ezekiel Elliott, he’s my favorite running back. My greatgrandpa, I never met him. He passed away before I was born.

My dad and my papa always talked about him and say he was such a great guy. My third one would have to be Donald Trump.

I know he’s gotten a lot of hate with everything for presidency, but I think it would be funny to sit with him and discuss what goes on in his head.

4 BOYS SOCCER: CLASS 3A DeKALB REGIONAL

Gorniak, McHenry win

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – McHenry boys soccer coach Tony Caruso said the Warriors needed effort on 50-50 balls.

Senior Zac Gorniak’s effort on an important play in the second half helped keep the Warriors’ season alive.

Gorniak scored the go-ahead goal midway through the second half, and No. 1 seed McHenry survived for a 2-1 win over No. 6 Rockford East in a Class 3A DeKalb Regional semifinal Wednesday night.

“I saw that James (Mulhall) had the ball and I knew that he was going to dish it out – he’s an unselfish player – and he played me a good ball and I barely got the shot off,” said Gorniak, who scored his third goal of the season.

Caruso had high praise for his senior defender turned forward.

“The guy who’s been our best player the last few weeks – Zac Gorniak – saved the day for us,” Caruso said.

“He’s been our best player because he plays with great effort and hard work consistently out there.”

The Warriors (14-5-2) got on the

• Winner advances to the Huntley Sectional board in the first half when speedy senior Ian Tapia dribbled from near midfield before shooting it in the back of the net with less than four minutes remaining.

The E-Rabs (6-11-1) answered less than a minute later on a penalty kick from Kelvin Zaragoza. McHenry goalkeeper Jake King misplayed a ball and had to commit a foul in the box to prevent a goal, but set up Zaragoza’s goal.

“We knew they’d cause some challenges with their skill and speed, and they did,” Caruso said. “We just didn’t finish looks in the first half that we need to be able to finish to continue to move on. We made a bad mistake in the back that we haven’t made in a long time and gave them some confidence.”

The Warriors dominated posses-

sion in the final five minutes, and Rockford East never got close to getting an equalizer late.

Despite the one-goal advantage, McHenry dominated the E-Rabs, 142, in corner kicks. However, the Warriors couldn’t score on their opportunities.

“We just have to challenge those balls harder in the air,” Caruso said.

“That team out-50-50 balled us, and if we want to score, we have to challenge those balls, and we didn’t do it consistently enough – except for Zac Gorniak at the end for us. He went up and challenged the ball and got it for us.”

The Warriors advance to play third-seeded DeKalb in the final at 3 p.m. Saturday at DeKalb.

The victory Wednesday was the second in a row for the Warriors after dropping four straight – including three shutouts – toward the end of the year. The Warriors beat Crystal Lake South, 3-2, in the regular-season finale.

“I think that losing streak was an eye-opener for us,” Gorniak said. “We learned that we’re not going to be able to beat every single team that we play.

We just know that other teams are good, too.”

Simmons provided just that, assisting Josh Smith with 15:11 to go to cut Belvidere’s lead to 3-2. Less than four minutes later, Smith added his second on a breakaway, tying the score after the Bucs threatened to pad their lead but were denied by Hurricanes goalie Drew Simmons.

“It took a lot of heart by us not to let the game leave us,” Zachary Simmons said. “It took a lot of pride.”

Unfortunately for the Hurricanes, the comeback stopped there. Belvidere answered Marian with two goals – one with 3:44 left and one with 3:18 left – to propel the Bucs to a 5-3 victory.

Third-seeded Belvidere moves on to play the winner of Thursday’s regional semifinal between Woodstock North and Harvard, whose game was suspended Tuesday because of darkness.

“I thought after we tied it up, I thought maybe we could hold it out or maybe even find that win,” Marian coach Jim Colvin said. “Things were going in the right direction for us, so we felt pretty good.

“It’s the way the game goes. We got some momentum, but they got it deep, managed to find themselves a cross and a goal. Just a couple of breakdowns really.

We’ve struggled to come back all season, so to see us come back and get two goals back was just fantastic.”

Before the Bucs found their two quick goals to win the game late, it was the Hurricanes (7-9-3) who put the pressure on Belvidere.

With 15:11 to go, Zachary Simmons found Smith with a quick touch after a ball by junior Conrad Majzner crossed the face of the goal. Smith then added his second goal with 11:39 left on a breakaway after Jimmy Colvin stole the ball past midfield and found Smith streaking up field.

The Hurricanes went up, 1-0, in the first half with a goal from Majzner assisted by Traison Diedrich.

“We put our hearts on this field, but an unfortunate result,” Zachary Simmons said. “The energy was really high, the game was moving fast and going back and forth. ... We just didn’t put away enough chances.”

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK COLE BARKOCY Crystal Lake Central, sr., cross country Barkocy had an opportunity to win the boys title at the Fox Valley Conference Cross Country Meet, but stopped to help another runner, Crystal Lake South’s Jack Becker, about 200 meters from the finish line.

Becker and CaryGrove’s Alex Ratkovich, who were running 1-2, both experienced physical problems. Becker did not finish; Ratkovich eventually finished, but was 14th.

Barkocy initially thought he would help Becker down the final hill at Veteran Acres Park and they could finish together. But Becker stopped on that hill, and by that time four other runners had passed Barkocy, who finished fifth.

“That meant much more, doing that for him, than it would have to win the conference race,” Barkocy said. “We still won it as a team, so that was incredible. The team always comes first. The fact we won and I was able to help Jack was definitely very satisfying.”

Barkocy wants to run next year and is considering the Air Force Academy and Notre Dame, among other schools. He plans on going into aviation.

What to watch for: Bears at Green Bay Packers

X-FACTOR DL Akiem Hicks: The strong and massive five-technique was effective last week against the Jaguars with a fumble recovery and run stops for 1 and 2 yards. The Packers are down Eddie Lacy and James Starks, giving the Bears’ front seven a chance to completely bottle up the run and put QB Aaron Rodgers in third-and-long situations. Hicks can key that against a pretty good Green Bay front. This also would be a good game for Hicks to get his bull rush going. He has four QB hits this season, leading the team, and a push of the pocket early in the play could rattle Rodgers and a Packers offense that has been out of sync. The Bears haven’t gotten consistent pass rush from anyone outside Willie Young, and without knowing the status of Leonard Floyd, Hicks could step up from the defensive line.

STAT TO KEEP IN MIND The Bears’ offense is 28th in third-down offense and 25th in the red zone, while the Packers’ defense ranks seventh in both categories.

FISHBAIN’S PICK Packers 29, Bears 16

– Kevin Fishbain, kfishbain@profootballweekly.com

It was Fangio’s finest moment with the Bears. Now he has to ratchet it up a notch against an even more mortal Rodgers – who has an 83.0 rating (18 touchdowns, nine interceptions) in his past 11 games, starting with that game against the Bears last year.

“You gotta play good,” Fangio said when asked how the Bears did it last year. “I know that sounds like a generic, nothing answer, but you gotta be able to win your 1-on-1 battles. You gotta be able to deal with this guy scrambling and creating. He’s going to do that. You just have to play good.”

Even short-handed, the Bears’ defense has done that for the most part this season, but breakdowns in the fourth quarter cost them against the Colts and Jaguars – leaving them on tilt at 1-5. Simply put, the Bears have to be closer to perfect than they have been.

“We’ve done enough talking.

It’s time to get out there and play,” Freeman said. “It’s just that simple. Everybody has the want-to.

The give-a-damn factor is there.

But when it comes to being on the little things and executing, you just have to go out there and execute.

KEY MATCHUP TO WATCH Bears OTs Bobby Massie and Charles Leno Jr. vs. Packers OLBs Clay Matthews and Nick Perry: Green Bay is down its top three cornerbacks – Sam Shields, Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins all are out. That should give Bears quarterback Brian Hoyer and receivers Alshon Jeffery and Cameron Meredith some opportunities for big plays through the air, Clay Matthews but the offensive line has to give Hoyer time. In his 189 pass attempts, Hoyer has been sacked only four times, a rate that leads the NFL. But the Packers present the toughest challenge in terms of the talent in the front seven since the Bears played the Texans in Week 1, and that didn’t go well after halftime with Jay Cutler getting dropped five times.

Massie struggled in that opener and will need to be on his game against the duo. Perry has been extremely effective in his pass rush with eight QB hits and 4.5 sacks this season. Matthews, back at outside linebacker, has three sacks.

Massie and Leno need to have their footwork and technique down to be able to stay in front

of the edge rushers. Leno likely won’t have left guard Josh Sitton next to him, either, giving the Bears a downgrade on the left side of the line in terms of pass pro.

Bowfisherman face ‘serious attacks’ Ed DeVries runs the Bowfishing Association of Illinois and does a very nice job. The bowfishermen take pride in their archery skills and their ability to harvest what would be known as “rough fish” from our waterways. By roughfish, I mean critters such as carp and gar.

Fishing with a bow is no easy task.

You see the fish in the water, but if you shoot directly at what you see, you are sure to miss. The water refracts the light, and the successful bowfisherman needs to know where to aim by taking into account the depth of the water. It’s not easy, believe me, I’ve tried it.

The popularity of bowfishing continues to grow. One reason is the fact DeVries and his army of followers put on classes and exhibitions at any assembly of outdoors aficionados that will let them. They really preach the bowfishing gospel.

The other reason for the sport’s popularity is the preponderance of rough fish we are seeing today, led by the millions of Asian carp that seem to be taking over many waterways.

The BAI works hard with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to get rule changes that favor bowfishing.

They have had many waters opened up to their sport over the past few years.

A while back, a rule change allowing some species of catfish to be taken by bow was enacted. This really caused an uproar from fans of the whiskered fish. Fortunately, catfish are very hard to shoot with an arrow because they don’t go shallow enough and are more evasive than the sluggish carp. Please note that I am not saying catfish are a form of rough fish. Catfish are a true gamefish in every sense.

Apparently, some people are so enraged by the rules regarding taking of catfish with bow and arrow that they have decided to do something about it.

Unfortunately, what they are doing is

Indians Cubs bust out in Game 4 win AL End 21-inning pennant scoreless streak Series tied, 2-2

By NOAH TRISTER

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – Anthony Rizzo, Addison Russell and the rest of the Cubs’ bats broke out in a big way.

Rizzo homered and ended a postseason slump with three RBIs, Russell’s two-run drive highlighted a four-run fourth that stopped the Cubs’ 21-inning scoreless streak, and the Cubs routed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-2, Wednesday to even the NL Championship Series at 2-all.

Kenta Maeda is set to pitch for the Dodgers in Game 5 on Thursday against Jon Lester. Before the game, manager Dave Roberts said he will not start Clayton Kershaw on short rest after the Los Angeles ace threw a bullpen session Wednesday.

The Cubs ensured the NLCS will return to Wrigley Field for Game 6 on Saturday.

To break out of his prolonged slump, Rizzo used teammate Matt Szczur’s bat.

“I know Szczur’s bat has a lot of hits in it,” Rizzo said. “I’ve done it a few times this year, just switching up the bat, switching up the mindset.”

After consecutive shutout losses, the Cubs rapped out 13 hits on an 80-degree night with the warm Santa Ana winds fluttering the flags in center field.

Rizzo and Russell had three hits each. The Cubs’ 3-4-5 hitters – a combined 2 for 32 in the first three games – busted out. Every Cubs starter got at least one hit except Kris Bryant, who walked twice.

“Today was a must-win for us,” Ben Zobrist said.

Los Angeles was limited to six hits and made four errors in a game that dragged on for 3 hours, 58 minutes.

Mike Montgomery won in relief of John Lackey, who was chased after consecutive walks opening the fifth. Four days shy of his 38th birthday, Lackey allowed two runs, three hits and three walks.

Julio Urias, at 20 years, 68 days old, is the youngest postseason starting pitcher in major league history and gave up four runs and four hits in 32/3 innings. He was the third consecutive left-hander to start the series for Los Angeles.

The Cubs rattled off three straight hits to open the fourth, sparked by Zo-

TORONTO – For the Cleveland Indians, the script was the same every game – hope for the best from whoever they started, then count on Andrew Miller and the bullpen to close it out.

That plan seemed especially dicey in Game 5 of the AL Championship Series, with lightly used Ryan Merritt on the mound.

But out of nowhere, the rookie delivered.

Merritt coolly kept the Indians ahead until reinforcements arrived, and Cleveland earned its first trip to the World Series since 1997 by blanking the Toronto Blue Jays, 3-0, Wednesday.

The 24-year-old lefty defied expectations, shutting down the powerful Blue Jays before exiting in the fifth inning. Thanks to a most unlikely pitching performance, a most unexpected team won the ALCS, 4-1.

Cleveland, which never has hosted a World Series opener, will play Game 1 at Progressive Field on Tuesday night against the Cubs or Los Angeles Dodgers.

Manager Terry Francona’s team will try to augment what already has been a scintillating year in Cleveland after LeBron James and the Cavaliers earned the city’s first major pro sports championship since 1964.

The Indians’ title drought dates to 1948. In 1997, they let a one-run lead get away in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 7 and lost to the Florida Marlins in the 11th.

“We always said if we could do it with this group, it would be so special because this is as close to a family feel as you can get in a professional setting. So for that part of it, it is beyond feeling good,” Francona said.

The Dodgers and Cubs are tied 2-all going into Game 5 of the NLCS on Thursday night. Cleveland didn’t play either club this season.

Miller, acquired from the New York Yankees in a midseason trade, was selected the ALCS MVP as the Indians took their sixth pennant.

“I feel like I’ve said the word ‘special’ a million times in the last 20 or 30 minutes. But it’s the truth. It’s a blast to be a part of,” Miller said.

That was my thought process,” Zobrist said. “I felt like if he threw a strike, I could get one down in a good spot and was able to do it.”

He took second on Javier Baez’s single to left, and Willson Contreras followed with a single to nearly the same spot in shallow left, scoring Zobrist.

Baez moved up to third, and Contreras took second on left fielder Andrew Toles’ errant throw to the plate that skidded all the way to the backstop.

Jason Heyward hit a run-scoring groundout, and Russell followed with his first extra-base hit since Sept. 30 and his first homer since Sept. 19. He jubilantly pumped an arm as he rounded the bases on his two-run drive, which put the Cubs ahead, 4-0.

Rizzo homered off Pedro Baez leading off the fifth, snapping his 0-for-11 skid in the series. Rizzo had entered 2 for 26 in the postseason.

Los Angeles closed to 5-2 in the fifth.

With the bases loaded and one out, Justin Turner’s likely double-play grounder caromed off Montgomery’s outstretched glove and Russell, who scrambled on all fours at shortstop as the ball went into left-center field for a two-run single.

SPORTS BRIEF

Rose cleared in rape lawsuit

LOS ANGELES (AP) – NBA star Derrick Rose and two friends were cleared Wednesday in a $21.5 million lawsuit that accused them of gang raping his ex-girlfriend when she was incapacitated from drugs or alcohol.

Jurors in Los Angeles federal court reached the verdict in less than four hours after concluding there was a lack of evi-

dence to support the woman’s claims and dismissing her account as unbelievable.

“It felt like she was playing us,” said a juror who would only give his first name as Jared. “The second her lawyer started questioning her, she would start crying. I mean, granted, that could be realistic, but I feel l’m pretty good at reading people, and I felt as if it was false.”

Pet of the Week RALPH 1 YEAR 7 MONTHS OLD MALE AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG MIX Ralph came to us with his sister Janey from a kill shelter in southern Illinois. Janey was recently adopted by one of our volunteers. Yea! Ralph is a large boy that weighs about 50 pounds. He is tricolored--mostly white with black and some brown on his face and ears. He loves to be outside so he might enjoy hiking, canoeing, camping and fishing enthusiasts for a guardian. He does great with other dogs, one on one or in a group. He spent 3 weeks at Camp Bow Wow and they said he was fantastic with all the dogs. He can be a bit on the shy side at first especially in crowded, loud areas. Once he gets to know you, he really opens up. He knows some basic commands like "sit and wait" at doors to go outside.

He is always excited at mealtime, so he would benefit from learning the "wait" command at meals. Our staff says he is agile, quick on his feet so he would be great for playing catch.

Why not try tracking sports to satisfy his nose for adventure or competitive herding as a hobby? October is ADOPT A SHELTER DOG month so come spend time getting to know Ralph at Helping Paws. We are located at 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock, Illinois. www.helpingpaws.net 815-338-4400 Second chances start here!

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Your guide to McHenry County theater

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

From a Halloween spoof to Shakespeare to Ralphie, there’s plenty to see on small and big stages throughout McHenry County.

The holidays are covered when it comes to theater – with shows, such as Marian Central Catholic High School’s “Honeymoon at Graveside Manor” (opening Oct. 21), for Halloween and others, includuing “A Christmas Story: The Musical” (opening Nov. 4) at the Woodstock Opera House, to get audiences into the Christmas spirit.

While some Halloween-themed shows, such as “Dracula” (Oct. 27) at the Opera House, aren’t for the easily scared, Marian’s production is more funny than scary, Director Christine Connell said.

“There are a lot of twists and turns to it,” she said of the farce, which tells the story of newlyweds who end up celebrating their honeymoon in a one-time mortuary on Halloween.

Elsewhere, area schools – along with theater buffs throughout the world – are marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death this year. Among those celebrating The Bard are Woodstock High School with “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare” (opening Oct. 20), Huntley High School with “Macbeth” (opening Oct. 26) and Marengo Commuity High School with “Twelfth Night” (opening Nov. 10).

Shakespeare’s plays are universal, with few playwrights able to compare to his playful and compelling creations, said Anthony Walker, director of “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare” in

Woodstock.

“Young love still happens. The struggle for power still happens,” he said. “Indecision leading to self-destruction still happens. I enjoy helping students crack the code of Shakespeare, but ‘Romeo & Juliet,’ ‘Macbeth’ and ‘Hamlet’ still resonate with students and adults because it deals with the human condition.”

With its Orson Welles Creative Arts Festival, Woodstock also is celebrating Shakespeare throughout October. An Oct. 28 “Shakespeare Theatre, Art & Mozart” event at the Woodstock Opera House will featuring British Shakespearean Robin Weatherall with a staged version of “Five Kings,” inspired by Orson Welles’ 1939 Shakespeare interpretation.

“HIS GIRL FRIDAY”

New theater company to bring classic film ‘His Girl Friday’ to life

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com Riding the success of an inaugural attempt to bring classic film to stage, a new McHenry County theater company now is taking on “His Girl Friday.”

Film Stripped Productions, created

by Jeff Cook, has teamed with TownSquare Players to recreate the 1940 film starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell at Stage Left Café in Woodstock.

More of a staged reading, the production opens at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 20 at the café, 125 Van Buren St. Woodstock.

“We really like the café atmosphere because it’s very intimate. It’s very small,” said Cook, who started Film Stripped Productions as a passion project earlier this year with a May presentation of “Meet John Doe,” another classic film, at Hidden Pearl Cafe in McHenry. Film Stripped since has become an official theater company.

With “His Girl Friday,” Film Stripped will tell the story of a newspaper editor who uses every trick in the book to keep his ace reporter ex-wife from remarrying. The cast of 10 will play about 23 different characters.

“The audience is right up close to the actors for our type of shows,” Cook said.

“That intimacy works because it’s kind

of a hybrid between a play and a staged reading. The actors have the scripts in their hands. Really, it’s designed to bring the movie experience to the audience.”

That’s exactly why Cook, a fan of both classic films and theater, started Film Stripped, recognizing no one really had tried to combine his two passions.

The partnership with TownSquare Players, the oldest resident theater company at the Woodstock Opera House, is a bonus this time around, Cook said.

It helps Film Stripped expand its scope and reach a wider audience, and it also brings two theater companies together, creating diversity in theater, he said.

“That’s not something you see a lot,” he said. “Why not be able to combine your strengths and utilize your relationship to help bring different kinds of shows to different kinds of audiences.”

A classic comedy known as one of the greatest comedies ever made, “His Girl Friday” is one of the first films to feature characters talking over the lines of other characters.

“It moves like a runaway freight train,” Cook said. “Once it starts going, it’s just nonstop all the way through, and it’s so funny.”

Obtaining the movie script to adapt

for stage, Cook realized the movie actually was different than the original script. The actors ad-libbed many of their lines, and the ending is different.

So Cook repeatedly watched the movie to transcribe the dialogue word-for-word for his production.

“They’re not seeing the scripted version of the movie,” he said “They’re seeing the movie itself presented in front of them.”

With the help of his wife, Karen, and Margaret Miller working behind the scenes, Cook said he hopes to present a production that will keep fans coming back for more as Film Stripped continues to regularly bring classic films to life. Cook’s next project likely will be 1936’s “Reefer Madness.”

“This is kind of a big deal for us,” he said of “His Girl Friday.” “We’re in a much larger venue, basically double the capacity. We’re engaged in a new partnership with another theater company. … Now we’re square in the spotlight, and this will tell the tale of how things will proceed.”

The show runs through Oct. 30.

Schedule: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 20; 3 p.m. Oct. 22; 7:30 p.m. Oct. 23 & 27; 3 p.m. Oct. 29 & 30. Tickets cost $15 at the door or www.woodstockoperahouse.com/files/ stageleft/stageleftcafe.html.

One-woman ‘Dracula’ storytelling show returns to the Opera House

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

There’s a reason why Megan Wells’ “Dracula” is returning to the Woodstock Opera House for the sixth year in a row.

Often, the first question from audience members after the show is, “Are you coming back?”

“It’s building,” said Wells, a professional storyteller. “Now people are wearing costumes. We actually have a couple who sat next to each other on their first date for ‘Dracula’ the first year I did it. They fell in love, got married and they came to the performance last year as Dracula and Nina in full costume.

They’ll probably be there this year.”

When Wells takes the stage for her one-woman show, she stays true to the original story of “Dracula,” as told by Bram Stoker in his classic 1897 Gothic novel. No costumes or frills.

Just a retelling of the story and a sparking of the imagination.

Presented by famed area storyteller Jim May and Nippersink Stories, Wells’ “Dracula” will be at 8 p.m. Oct.

27 at the Opera House, 121 Van Buren St., Woodstock. Tickets cost $19 at 815-338-5300 or www.woodstockoperahouse.com.

Wells’ “Dracula” originated after her daughter immersed herself in the “Twilight” series. Wells wanted her daughter to also know and understand the folklore of vampires, how they represent “our deeper hungers and when our deeper hungers get out of control.”

The mother and daughter read Stoker’s “Dracula” together, and Wells found herself asking everyone she knew, “When was the last time you read ‘Dracula’?”

One of her friends eventually suggested she adapt the novel for stage.

That took her about a year, and it took another couple of years to edit the material, but she created a 90-minute “adrenaline ride.”

“I’m true to the novel, which makes true devotees of the novel very happy,” she said. “People who love the book are a little frustrated with what Hollywood has done. When they see the performance, they’re like, ‘That’s actually

“DRACULA” – WITH STORYTELLER MEGAN WELLS WHEN: 8 p.m. Oct. 27 WHERE: Woodstock Opera House, 121 Van Buren St., Woodstock COST & INFO: Experience the emotional thrill of Bram Stoker’s Gothic masterpiece in this elegantly horrific one-woman show by resident storyteller Megan Wells (above).

“It’s scary because the images happen in your head,” Wells said, comparing it to a mix of the thrill radio brought when it first originated and the emotional intimacy and dynamics of theater.

“Everyone who comes talks about it afterward with such fire in their eyes,” she said. “Storytelling, and this kind of storytelling, is really passionate and inspirational. If you’re going to do one thing this Halloween season, I would give yourself a gift of Bram Stoker’s inspiring novel.”

‘The Joneses’: another studio comedy misfire

By JAKE COYLE

The Associated Press

The modern studio comedy increasingly feels limp, suffocated by the financial imperatives of high-concept plots and desperately in search of signs of life. Greg Mottola’s “Keeping Up With the Joneses” is, like many before it, fine enough. But it mostly goes down as another collection of funny people stuck in too narrowly clichéd roles in an overly familiar story.

It’s now been more than 10 years since “The 40 Year-Old Virgin” and five since “Bridesmaids.” (Feel old yet?) There have, undoubtedly, been good comedies since, namely things with Melissa McCarthy in them, Noah Baumbach’s “Frances Ha” and anything Wes Anderson is putting out. But there has been perhaps no greater casualty to the constrictions of blockbuster-centric Hollywood than comedy. The freedom necessary for comedy to thrive mostly is found on television; the action is with “Broad City,” “Atlanta,” “Inside Amy Schumer” and others.

Mottola, the director of “Adventureland” and “Superbad,” has been at the center of comedy on both the big screen and on TV (“Arrested Development,” the underrated “Clear History”), but “Keeping Up With the Joneses,” written by Michael LeSieur

“KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES” STARRING: Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher, Jon

Hamm

PLOT: A suburban couple becomes embroiled in an international espionage plot when they discover their seemingly perfect new neighbors are government spies.

RATED: PG-13 for sexual content, action/violence and brief strong language RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 45 minutes

(“You, Me and Dupree”) doesn’t have much of the naturalism that has distinguished his best.

Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher play Jeff and Karen Gaffney, a regular suburbanite couple experiencing an empty nest for the first time with their kids away at summer camp. An impossibly stylish and accomplished couple moves in next door, the Joneses (Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot, taking a break from her Wonder Woman duties). He’s a travel writer who can blow his own glass; she writes a cooking blog and wears cocktail dresses to neighborhood barbeques.

But what makes the Joneses most jealous of them is their easy affection with one another. Though its name is taken from the status-obsessed phrase first made famous by a 1913 comic strip and coopted by the Kardashians,

this “Keeping Up With the Joneses” is a comedy about marital passion rekindled.

That the Joneses are putting up a facade is evident from the start, but the movie cleverly subverts the nature of their secret identities. They are elite government spies of some sort, but not as far removed from the normal squabbles and challenges of marriage as you might think.

The collision of international espionage thrills and quiet suburban life has become familiar by now thanks to the likes of “The Matador,” “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and “The Americans.”

When the bullets start flying, “Keeping Up With the Jones” has some moves of its own, thanks to the talents of Galifianakis (here playing a naive, aw-shucks character that limits him) and the always game Fisher.

Only Hamm manages to create a three-dimensional character: a James Bond secretly yearning to be a regular guy.

But whatever is cramping the style of “Keeping Up With Joneses” – whether it’s the PG-13 rating, the stock characters or a thin script – the feeling never leaves that everyone here could do better if they were really let loose.

Alas, it’s going to take more than Wonder Woman to save the studio comedy.

By SANDY COHEN The Associated Press

It’s not the acting or the action that makes “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” inferior to the original 2012 hit. It’s the story.

The first film, “Jack Reacher,” established the title character as a brilliant, brutal loner dedicated to justice. He’s a former military officer turned drifter, unfettered by emotional ties, motivated purely by exacting righteousness.

What makes an archetypal character like this fun to watch is an unpredictable story, where the audience and protagonist together uncover the mystery.

The 2012 film achieved this beautifully, packing action into a thriller that developed the villains as much as the hero.

In “Never Go Back,” the bad guys are one-dimensional caricatures, and the lone wolf is driven by protecting a teenager whom he insists from the start isn’t his daughter. This leaves the film riding

“JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK” STARRING: Tom Cruise, Cobie Smulders, Aldis Hodge PLOT: Jack Reacher must uncover the truth behind a major government conspiracy in order to clear his name.

RATED: PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, some bloody images, language and thematic elements TIME: 1 hour, 58 minutes on its action sequences and the charm of its central characters, played by Tom Cruise and Cobie Smulders. And while they’re incredibly appealing, they can’t do more than the story allows.

Cruise, who has made himself this generation’s ultimate action star, is perfect as Jack Reacher. He’s steely, strong and almost accidentally handsome. The ageless actor does most of

his own stunts and effectively uses his eyes to convey his character’s guarded sensitivity.

Smulders, who’s played a small role in the “Avengers” films, proves herself an action star and leading lady as Susan Turner, an Army major who has taken over Reacher’s post in the military police force. Turner is investigating the murders of two soldiers in Afghanistan when she’s removed from her office and jailed on espionage charges.

Reacher comes to her aid, but another official taunts him with a pending paternity lawsuit that claims Reacher fathered a now 15-year-old girl. Reacher denies it, but goes after the girl (Danika Yarosh) anyway. Suddenly, he’ll do anything to protect her. This contrivance undoes the suspension of disbelief.

Nothing about Reacher’s character suggests he’s yearning for fatherhood, and yet she becomes his main motivation.

“Never Go Back” is based on Lee Child’s 18th Reacher novel. The 2012

film was adapted from a much earlier work in the series, so perhaps Reacher’s desire to be a dad is covered in the volumes in between.

The teenager is the pawn as Reacher and Turner try to uncover corruption in the ranks. They find that beyond a cover-up of the soldiers’ murders, crooked officials may be supplying weapons to insurgents in the Middle East. Meanwhile, a trenchcoated heavy (Patrick Heusinger) is tailing Reacher, Turner and the teen. He’s the catalyst for the chases and fight scenes, which director Edward Zwick cuts together so quickly, their grace is hard to appreciate.

Smulders handles her share of action and holds her own with Cruise, which is great to see. Turner may be female, but her character’s depth and strength matches Reacher’s. With Smulders and Yarosh on camera almost as much as Cruise, “Never Go Back” doubles the number of key women from the 2012 film. If only the story was as good.

Conserve energy and save money this fall by weatherizing your home with these easy tips (BPT) - Cooler seasonal temperatures can have an impact on not only your home, but also your wallet. Along with adjusting your thermostat as the cooler weather embraces much of the country, weatherizing your home also has a direct impact on the amount of energy required to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. Follow these five easy DIY home weatherizing tips to increase your home’s energy efficiency and lower the utility bill each month.

Turn on the humidifier. Increasing the humidity in your home during the cooler months adds moisture to your living space. This raises the “heat index,” making 68 degrees feel more like 76 degrees. Be sure to maintain a relative humidity in the

home between 20 to 40 percent. As the temperature outside drops, lower this percentage so condensation does not form on the windows.

Seal the gaps. Areas such as windows, doors, attic hatches, vents and other seasonally-used areas are prime sources for air leaks, which can cause energy bills to skyrocket.

To help maintain a controlled climate inside the home and prevent air from leaking in or escaping, weatherize these areas of your home by using a temporary sealant.DAP Seal ‘N Peel is an all-season, removable weather-stripping sealant you can easily apply to seal holes, cracks and gaps where air can pass through. It’s also waterproof, low in odor and dries to a clear finish. And when spring

Add extra insulation to all areas of your home. Adding insulation to your home reduces energy usage and increases comfort. If your home uses less than 12 inches of insulation, chances are heat is escaping. Add insulation in the attic to prevent warm air from escaping. Also consider adding insulation in crawl spaces, under floors and against basement walls to stop the transfer of cold through the house.

Run your fan in the proper direction.

There are layers of air in every living space that vary in degree of temperature. Because the warmest air is closest to the ceiling, running your ceiling fan in a clockwise direction in the winter months pushes the warm air up against the ceiling and then down the walls. This recirculates warm air through the room without a cool breeze and offsets the workload of the HVAC, lowering heat costs by as much as 10 percent.

Get a home energy audit. If you’ve completed the four tasks above and your energy bill is still unusually

high, it might be time to request a home energy audit to pinpoint problem areas in your home. This will help identify the problem areas and help you make the necessary improvements for an efficient home. In fact, you could save 5 to 30 percent on your energy bill by repairing issues found in a home energy audit, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Bonus tip!

Invest in a programmable thermostat. Prevent working your heating equipment overtime by installing a programmable thermostat to automatically raise and lower the air

temperature based on the time of day or if you’re away from home. By turning your thermostat back even eight degrees for eight hours a day, you can save as much as 10 percent on your annual heating costs.

Why make your heating and cooling systems work harder than they have to each year? By taking steps to properly weatherize your home and increase its efficiency, you’re able to maintain a comfortable interior more easily, and save money in the meantime.

Douglas Adams, in “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” wrote, “Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to space.”

When you are declaring a bridge deal, you try to find the safest road to make your contract. However, even if you choose the one that is mathematically best, you might end up in a black hole, going down because you were unlucky. Still, it is amazing how in bridge columns, the right approach works!

What should South do in four hearts after West cashes his two top spades, then shifts to the diamond jack?

Although that South hand contains only 11 high-card points, it is well worth a one-level opening bid, with that excellent six-card suit, two aces and no rebid problem.

South can see four losers: two spades and two diamonds. He has only nine top tricks: six hearts, one diamond and two clubs. He must play to establish a third club winner. But, because he will probably have to ruff two low clubs in his hand, he must be careful with his dummy entries.

Declarer wins the third trick with his diamond ace and cashes the heart ace. But then he turns his attention to the clubs. He plays a club to the king, cashes the ace, ruffs a club high, leads a low heart to dummy’s nine, ruffs another club high, crosses to the heart king (drawing West’s last trump in the process), and discards a diamond on the winning club seven.

Pediatric experience.
