New dog taking time to learn, fit in with family We got a dog. Or, more accurately, a dog got us.

He’s really the center of attention, and I’m not sure whether he notices it yet. Everyone wants to be his friend. He’s a wire-haired terrier mix.

He weighs about 55 pounds, so he’s medium-size.

He’s mostly white, with some spots under his white coat and a brown mask over his eyes and right ear. According to the shelter, mutt puppy is about 1½ years old, still a puppy, and comes from Tennessee.

While he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer, he’s far from the dullest. We’ve had him less than a month, and almost instantaneously, he won our hearts. He means well, even if he doesn’t always do the right thing. But he’s learning.

For instance, he’s not allowed on the furniture, and we have two couches that he was immediately attracted to. He jumped up on them and made himself comfortable. We’d tell him “down,” but he didn’t understand the word and had to be pulled off the couch. This went on for a while. He has a large cushion that’s a dog couch on the floor, and we would take him to that and have him lie down, effusive in praise.

It wasn’t too long before he understood the word “down,” and would get off the couch on command. And it was even sooner that he began to use the dog couch to lay on and sleep, and he seems to like it. When our backs are turned, he might get up on the couch. When he’s being too quiet, we have to check his whereabouts, and sometimes we’ll find him on the couch, but not so often anymore.

Mutt puppy belongs to our now-fully-adult daughter. She’s wanted a dog for the longest time, and she finally caught us in a weak moment, and we said yes. She bought him, she buys the dog food and is responsible for the vet bills. Mutt puppy sleeps with her. And he is positively enamored with her.

When she comes home, he is so happy to see her. And he prances and jumps up on her – down – and follows her around the house as if she’s been gone forever. He’s definitely her dog.

Mutt puppy is not quite a walking dog yet. He loves to go for walks, but he pulls like a sled dog almost the entire time, your arm extended. He occasionally sniffs interesting smells along the way, but mostly, he’s interested in going in fast forward. We’d need to break into a jog to keep up with him, but our knees aren’t fit for that, and he probably could run faster than we could jog.

One of the points of taking him for a walk is so he can relieve himself, and he can forget to do that. He hasn’t quite gotten down the auto-

WHERE IT’S AT

VIEWS Dick Peterson matic response of peeing and pooing when the walk begins when I’ve walked him. My good wife and now-fully-adult daughter take him for walks in the evening – it’s mother-daughter-mutt puppy bonding time – and he does both jobs on those walks, which shows promise.

The other night, our now-fully-adult daughter had to work late – well past our bedtime – and I put mutt puppy in his cage in the basement, where he spends his days when no one is home.

And all along, he has seemed to like it. It’s large enough for him, and he’s been content.

But he didn’t like it that his master – mistress?

– wasn’t home like usual, and he started howling and wouldn’t stop. So I put him in her bedroom, figuring her scent would be enough to keep him happy. We didn’t want him wandering around the house. After a bit, he continued to howl, but eventually stopped, and we were able to fall asleep. His nightly routine was broken, and he didn’t like it.

Our now-fully-adult daughter’s bedroom is in the basement, and it took awhile for mutt puppy to learn to negotiate the stairs. We had to lead him at first, and he was skittish about them. But it didn’t take too many trips up and down the stairs for him to figure them out. Now he’s a pro at them, thankfully, and goes up and down them without a second thought.

Mutt puppy is playful, but he doesn’t understand toys, which he has plenty of. He’ll play tug of war for a while, but as soon as you let go, he positively lopes into the basement to hide it. Soon, there are no toys upstairs. Haven’t quite figured that one out.

In talking to mutt puppy – not that he understands – our voices go up an octave or two, and I can’t match the pitch of the girls, but I think mutt puppy responds better to a higher pitch.

At least that’s what I tell myself, as I find myself the third choice in the house for the dog to go to – and everyone wants to be No. 1. I’ll have to settle for third.

REACHING ‘A HUGE MILESTONE’

Crystal Lake’s Faith Lutheran High School enrolls 101 students

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – When Faith Lutheran High School started in 2004, the first class of eight students would complain so much about the small class and lack of activities that teacher Chris Schoenleb would bribe them with pizza.

“The kids hated it at first,” said Schoenleb, now the executive director and principal at the school.

Much has changed from the first year, when there were only three staff members and classes were held in a few classrooms at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Union. The school started with only a freshman class and Chris Schoenleb added a grade level each Faith Lutheran year, Schoenexecutive director leb said. and principal Now, for the first time in the school’s history, enrollment has passed the 100 mark with 101 students, Schoenleb said.

“It’s one of those milestones that’s a huge milestone for us because six years ago, when we moved into this building in Crystal Lake, we had 38 students that year,” Schoenleb said.

The school started when the late Leonard Schultz donated 79 acres of land to build a Lutheran high school

‘‘

Now it’s a little bit easier to sell than it used to be.

We’re more established, and we have a lot of activities.”

TOP: Casandra Paiz (left) and Rachel Schneider take notes during class Wednesday at Faith Lutheran High School in Crystal Lake. at Queen Anne Road and Route 120 near Woodstock, Schoenleb said.

It was Shultz’ dream to have a Lutheran high school in the area, and Faith Lutheran is the only one in McHenry County, Schoenleb said.

The original plan was to build on the donated land, but Schoenleb said the school used the equity off the land for the first five years to build it up, and eventually sold it when they realized they wanted a more central location.

Bringing the enrollment up to what it is today took “a lot of legwork and a lot of word of mouth,” Schoenleb said.

Feeder schools in the area include St. John’s Lutheran School in Algonquin, Immanuel Lutheran School in Crystal Lake, Immanuel Lutheran School in East Dundee, Zion Lutheran School in Marengo and Zion Evangelical Lutheran School in McHenry.

“Now it’s a little bit easier to sell

than it used to be,” Schoenleb said.

“We’re more established, and we have a lot of activities.”

The school has boys and girls basketball, volleyball, golf, cross country and bowling, in addition to other extracurricular activities.

Students also participate in a coop with Alden-Hebron High School for sports such as football and baseball, Schoenleb said.

WOODSTOCK – Sometimes the most valuable donation to a nonprofit is time, and volunteers took to various missions Saturday to illustrate the point.

A group of volunteers with Leadership Greater McHenry County gathered Saturday morning to tackle volunteer projects around Woodstock and Crystal Lake as part of the LGMC’s annual “Lend a Hand Day.” The program is in line with the organization’s purpose, LGMC alumni committee member Jen Prindle said.

“Part of our mission is to engage in the community, and obviously this is a very hands-on way to give back,” she said.

“Sometimes we try to find a specific group to service, like veterans or the homeless, but this year we just went to whoever needed us.”

Volunteers helped Saturday with tasks at four local nonprofits, including the Woodstock women’s shelter, Turning Point; Family Health Partnership; Hearthstone Senior Living Community; and Family Alliance Inc. Throughout the year, LGMC hosts other fundraisers, but this is a good way to complete physical service, Prindle said.

That practical, hands-on work is much-needed because nonprofits prefer to spend money on their mission as opposed to tasks such as yard work, cleaning and painting, said Sharon Coker, volunteer and training coordinator at Turning Point.

“It’s wonderful. It’s phenomenal what they do,” Coker said. “Being a nonprofit,

Jolene White of Woodstock graduated from the LGMC’s leadership class in 2016 and said staying involved in the community after the class is ultimately the goal – and important to her, personally.

“I like to lead a life of service to others,” she said. “There are always opportunities to serve in the community, and it’s not always

a cash donation. Being able to fit [volunteerism] into your life routine is important.”

The LGMC volunteers weren’t alone Saturday. High schoolers with the Key Club at McHenry High School District 156 also were on-site.

“I like helping people and giving back,” said Alexa Slack, 17. “So I think it’s a good idea to get involved. Plus, you can go with your friends and interact with everyone and meet new people. It’s fun.”

Loaded gun left at post office belonged to associate judge

Man will not be federally charged for the offense

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The man who dropped his loaded handgun at the Woodstock post office in February was a McHenry County associate judge, according to a police report obtained by the Northwest Herald.

In February, a customer at the U.S. post office on Country Club Road in Woodstock found a loaded 9mm gun on the floor. The gun didn’t have a bullet in the chamber, but did have a full magazine.

The police department later tracked

down the owner, Thomas Meyer, who is a judge in the McHenry County Circuit Court.

Meyer had a valid FOID card and an Illinois concealed carry permit. He told police at the time that he had the gun in a zippered pocket of his jacket and it had fallen out without him noticing.

Federal law prohibits guns in a variety of places, including post offices, regardless of concealed carry permits.

The post office in Woodstock didn’t have the required notice sticker on its door at the time, however, and Meyer wasn’t federally charged.

Local authorities didn’t bring charges against the judge either.

“The post office is federal jurisdiction,” Woodstock Deputy Police Chief Jeffery Parsons said. “We reviewed the case with the state’s attorney, and

there was really no Illinois statute that was violated at the time.”

Judges aren’t permitted to bring guns into the McHenry County Courthouse, court administrator Dan Wallis said.

Meyer declined to comment on the incident.

The Northwest Herald filed Freedom of Information Act requests last winter seeking police reports related to the incident, but the newspaper was only allowed to view a redacted report that did not include the name of the gun owner. Woodstock police cited a FOIA privacy exemption.

The newspaper appealed Woodstock’s refusal to provide the name to the Illinois Attorney General’s Office’s public access counselor, but the matter remained unresolved.

Fire district to begin using donated paramedic bikes for community events

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – At future races or community events, people may see members of the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District riding paramedic bikes.

Two bikes, worth about $1,300 each, were donated to the department by Lake in the Hills American Legion Post 1231, said Matt Berg, president of Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Firefighters Local 3985.

The bikes will be manned by off-duty personnel hired to staff community events, such as the Algonquin Founders’ Days parade or Lake in the Hills Triathlon, Berg said.

“In those max-gathering settings, timing is key, and using the bikes, especially in a large group of folks, we are going to be able to access our patients a lot quicker,” Berg said.

The bikes are equipped with medical supplies, including a defibrillator, oxygen, IV and bandaging for traumatic injures, Berg said.

The department realized paramedic bikes would be an asset when it bor-

Berg, who rode the bike, said he treated about a dozen patients during the event.

The bikes also allow the public to

interact easier with paramedics, and they give residents the ability to have a closer look at who paramedics are and what they do, Berg said.

LOCAL BRIEF JOHNSBURG – Johnsburg High School received more than $20,000 of used fitness equipment from Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center earlier this month.

The school received the $26,000 donation after Health Bridge purchased new equipment for its Crystal Lake location, according to a news release.

“We wanted to be sure our previously used equipment was going to a good home, and Johnsburg High School supports the health and wellness of its students and student athletes,” Lindsay

At crowded events, it’s almost impossible to get around people and other vehicles quickly, which is where the bikes come in handy, Sowizrol said.

“With a bike, one person moves out of your way and you can pretty much get through,” Sowizrol said.

Fire department training for staff who are interested in using the bikes will start in the spring, Berg said. He expects about 12 paramedics will be trained on the bikes.

“We look to provide the highest level of service that we can to the community, and this is kind of the next step in that,” Berg said.

Berg said this is the only fire department in the area to implement the program.

Bikes are more common for police, Algonquin police Sgt. James Sowizrol said, and the department has been using them since he started about 14 years ago.

During the day, the bikes are used more for community policing, and in the evening they’re used as more of an enforcement tool, he said.

Boeke, general manager of Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center, said in a news release.

“We hope the equipment helps them develop a dedication to exercise that will keep them healthy for the rest of their lives.”

Johnsburg Principal Kevin Shelton said the athletes were excited and appreciated having access to the new equipment at their school.

“We are grateful Centegra made this possible for our students,” Shelton said in a news release.

Continued from page A3 Schoenleb said students are drawn to Faith Lutheran for the feeling of family, small class sizes, ability to get involved and feeling of safety. In the small school community, students don’t even use locks on their lockers, he said.

Terry Macygin, a senior at Faith Lutheran, transferred from Marengo Community High School halfway through her freshman year.

“I came here not a Christian, and now I cannot wait to get into mission work and work with Christ,” Macygin said.

Students are required to take theology classes and attend chapel twice a week, she said. The small class size and availability of teachers also helps prevent students from falling behind, she said.

There are seven full-time teachers and one part-time teacher, Schoenleb said.

Laurie Mathiesen is a teacher who is part of the original Faith Lutheran staff.

“The kids here seem to care more about each other,” Mathiesen said.

“They care about us.”

She and Schoenleb listed off events of former students that they’ve been to, including weddings and baptisms.

And although the larger enrollment

“The kids here seem to care more about each other.

They care about us.”

Faith Lutheran High School teacher puts the school in a better position financially, Mathiesen and Schoenleb said there are aspects of being an even smaller school that they miss.

“Ideally, I would tell you probably 180 students to 200 would be great for a school like this,” Schoenleb said, adding that range would keep the small class size and family feel to the school.

The school, at 174 McHenry Ave., is in the planning stages of looking for a new building to move into, and he said he wants it to stay in Crystal Lake.

“Academically, we just want to continue doing what we’re doing,” Schoenleb said. “The goal is preparing the kids for school.”

At the end of October, Faith Lutheran will hold a celebration for students to mark the enrollment milestone.

“I just can’t wait to see how much this school grows,” Macygin said. “ …

I feel like I am learning every day, and it’s so nice. And I just cannot wait to see other people get the opportunity that I was given.”

Zoning board gives positive recommendation for Meyer Material Co. mining work

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – The Cary Board of Zoning, Planning and Appeals reviewed a petition from Meyer Material Co. at its meeting Thursday and made three recommendations for the Village Board to consider.

Meyer Material presented different scenarios so that the Village Board would have more options, said Brian Simmons, Cary community development director.

The zoning board gave a unanimous positive recommendation to allow Meyer Material to use a floating dredge to finish mining, he said.

The board also gave a positive recommendation in a 4-1 vote to allow Meyer to use the machine for 24 hours on weekdays and for 12 hours during the day Saturday, Simmons said.

Board member Eric Kretschmer was

Saturday, November 5, 2016

the sole opposing vote on the 24-hour proposal, and the sole yes vote on the third proposal, which would allow the new machine to be used from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. weekdays, Simmons said.

According to the 24-hour-use plan, mining would be complete by Dec. 15, 2017, and restoration complete by June 1, 2018. The second mining schedule would push back both dates by about a year.

Board member Frank O’Laughlin did not participate in the meeting because he is an employee of Meyer Material, and member Neil Williams was absent.

“We are attempting to complete our mining activities as quickly, as quietly and as cleanly as possible, as well as delivering the subsequent lake and property as according to the original agreement of June 1, 2018, said Anthony Gianakis, regional operations manager for LafargeHolcim, which merged with Meyer.

Frank Krettler, Cary resident and an independent gravel hauler, said he’s been around similar machines and the sounds they make is “white noise.”

“They’re talking about finishing this thing, and I think we should give Meyer the chance to finish this thing, make it a park and turn it into something that’s really nice,” Krettler said.

“I don’t want to see it just neglected half finished.”

Meyer is asking the village for details on how it would like the lake to be constructed, Simmons said.

Other residents spoke about concerns on how accurate the noise study was and what would happen if Meyer doesn’t finish in the required time.

“We shouldn’t be here,” resident Bruce Janu said. “And I’m not sure what’s going to prevent them from coming again when it’s not finished, because I’m not confident that it will be finished, regardless of what equipment they’re using.”

All will be considered by the Cary Village Board at its Nov. 1 meeting, Simmons said, which likely will be held at the Crystal Lake Holiday Inn. At the Oct. 4 Village Board meeting, trustees agreed to hear the excavation company’s new proposal to use a floating dredge machine to complete mining at its property off Route 31.

The Village Board had rejected a request for a three-year mining agreement by a 3-3 vote May 17, and Meyer continued to mine the site from June to September and pay the associated $100,000-a-month fee from the original agreement.

At Thursday’s zoning meeting, acoustics consultant Thomas Thunder presented an acoustics study he conducted to determine what the noise level would be with the floating dredge.

Thunder determined the effect of the dredge by comparing the ambient noise in the neighborhood, both near the pit and homes. He determined the sound of the dredge would be “minimally audible” from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., and the rest of the time, it would be lower than ambient noise in the area.

Chairman Patrick Khoury noted that the study was conducted when restoration, not mining, was occurring on site.

Missionaries visit Haiti days after hurricane

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Four missionaries from Catholic Assistance Missions witnessed the devastating impact of Hurricane Matthew during a recent trip to Haiti.

Catholic Assistance Missions (CAM) is a McHenry-based organization dedicated to helping those affected by natural disasters and under the weight of poverty.

CAM President Justin Smith said the trip was paid for out of their own pockets, and all the donated funds for the trip went to the people of Haiti.

“This trip was actually planned months in advance, and it just so happened the hurricane hit at that time,” Smith said.

“So we were asked if we could come to La Caye, one of the cities that was majorly hit by the hurricane.”

When his group got near the city, they realized they may not reach La Caye because of the bridge being washed out and the roads being flooded. Smith said his group then tried loading a delivery truck with food and supplies to bring to the hurricane victims.

“We had a truck go ahead of us to see it if would get there,” Smith said. “But it

was robbed at gunpoint.”

CAM then tried loading another truck, hoping it would make it into La Caye.

“There were U.S. military planes flying overhead throughout the day,” Smith said. “And the second truck was able to make it through because the military had stabilized the area at that point.”

McHenry residents Beth Widhalm and Lynette Reid also joined Smith on the recent journey to Haiti.

Reid said a school in the city of Despinasse lost part of its roof from the storm, and so did several homes in the area.

“Some houses had holes in the roof, cracks in the walls and people’s fruit trees were split from the wind,” Reid said.

While the group of missionaries saw some of the storm’s damage, Widhalm said they weren’t able to go to certain areas where the damage was more devastating.

“I wish we would’ve done more with relief work, which is what we were expecting,” Widhalm said. “But for safety reasons, they kept us away.”

During the trip, CAM also distributed food, supplied people with donkeys and helped teach students English.

“We tried to help the people there any way we could,” Widhalm said.

Renewing lines of credit are not eligible. The Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) are accurate as of 9/15/16. The total term of the Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is 240 months. During the first 10 years, the “Draw Period”, the APR is a variable rate based on an index of the highest Prime Rate reported in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal (the “WSJ Prime”), plus a margin based on the amount of the line. However, for the first 12 months from the date of the loan there is an introductory rate of 2.99% APR which is not based on the index and margin used for later adjustments. For the remaining 9 years the terms will be as follows. On 9/15/16, the WSJ Prime Rate was 3.50% resulting in the following APRs: $10,000.00 - $99,999.99: 4.50% (Prime+1.00%), $100,000.00 - $249,999.99: 4.00% (Prime+.50%), $250,000.00 - $499,999.99: 4.00% (Prime + .50%), $500,000.00 + : 3.99% (Prime + .25%) based on a 3.99% floor. The APR may vary based on the use of auto-debit. Auto-debit discount will not apply during the introductory rate period or when APR is at floor rate during “Repayment Period.” The minimum APR is 3.99% and the maximum APR is 20.00%. Rates will change on the 1st day of the statement cycle following a Prime Rate change. Interest only minimum payments required during the Draw Period. During the “Repayment Period”, the remaining 10 years, the APR is a variable rate based on the WSJ Prime + 1.00% and will be calculated 45 days prior to the initial maturity of the Draw Period, subsequent changes will occur on the 1st day of the statement cycle following a Prime Rate change. The minimum APR is 3.99% and the maximum APR is 20.00%. During the Repayment Period, monthly principal and interest payments will be required to fully amortize the loan. There is an annual fee of $50, but will be waived for the first year. Offer applies to lines secured by owner occupied, one-to four-family residences with a maximum of 80% Loan to Value (LTV). Offer is not available for purchase money loans. Property insurance required and flood insurance may be required. Consult a tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest. An early termination fee of the lesser of 2% of the initial credit limit or $500.00 will be charged if account is closed within 24 months of the loan date. No early termination fee in Wisconsin. There may be certain third party fees for entities such as appraisers, credit reporting firms, and government agencies to open the account, which generally total between $0.00 and $1,500.00. Pricing shown assumes borrower meets underwriting guidelines, otherwise a higher APR may apply or credit may not be available. See your loan officer for details. Offer subject to change without notice. Offer expires 12/31/16. 10/2016

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Look for an opportunity, and don’t hesitate to seize it. This is a terrific year to expand your interests and build relationships with people who share your ideas and hopes for the future. Greater stability will result from a solid connection with someone special. Romance is highlighted.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You need to improve your personal and professional lives. Think about your skills and focus on mastering them. Strive to think outside of the box. Own your destiny by preparing for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Be careful what you share and with whom. Emotions will escalate if

you end up in a compromising position. Stick close to home, and work on personal achievements.

Don’t fear being unique.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Step into the spotlight and share your views. It will bring about a debate that will help you move on to better things, leaving old problems behind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Take note of what everyone around you is doing, and choose not to follow the leader or get entangled in a situation that is full of melodrama. Opt to do something you enjoy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Travel or educational pursuits will pay off. Don’t wait for someone to tell you what you can or cannot do. Make up your mind and follow through with your plans. Show a

little backbone.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Do whatever needs to be done without trepidation. Relying on someone else to do things for you will result in disappointment. Don’t second-guess your decisions or doubt your abilities.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Helping others will put you in an interesting position. The people you encounter will offer information that will help you improve your life personally and financially.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Offering help will encourage favors in return. Your hands-on approach will be welcome, but don’t do all the work yourself.

Playing the role of a mentor or teacher will have great benefits.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Make plans with a

friend, loved one or relatives. Getting together with allies will give you an opportunity to sound out your ideas and receive constructive responses.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Stay in the background if you disagree with what someone is saying. It won’t be worth the effort to fight over something you cannot control. Focus on self-improvement, not on changing others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Emotions will surface. Be sure to channel this energy into passion and adventure and fun times with loved ones. A getaway will do you good.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Ask for help before succumbing to someone trying to take advantage of you. Know when to say no and whom to call when in need.

Dems count on Duckworth; Kirk predicts strong finish

By SARA BURNETT

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Illinois was once billed as one of November’s most competitive U.S. Senate races. Now, Democrats are counting on U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth to defeat Illinois Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk as the party looks to reclaim the majority in the chamber.

Duckworth is expected to benefit from what’s historically been high Democratic turnout during presidential election years, and the most recent polls show she has a comfortable lead.

But Kirk warns that counting him out would be a mistake. The former congressman and first-term senator said a recent internal poll showed him trailing Duckworth by just two points.

“News of my political death has been way too early,” Kirk said, noting he has exceeded expectations on Election Day. “Always Kirk has closed strongly.”

In a state where Democrats typically win statewide, Kirk has worked to distance himself from Republicans, especially this year, when he’s been one of the most vocal critics of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, calling him “delusional” and “too bigoted and racist for Illinois.”

Kirk, of Highland Park, also frequently notes his “F’’ rating from the National Rifle Association and that he

Rauner administration awards nonunion bonuses

SPRINGFIELD – More than 1,000 nonunion Illinois state workers whose bosses say are performing exceptional work are getting one-time merit bonuses from Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration.

About 1,100 workers will each receive a $3,016 bonus under the plan that will award between $3 million and $4 million in bonuses, The State Journal-Register reported.

Michael Hoffman, the acting director of the Department of Central Management Services, said in a memo to agency directors and others that the bonuses are a reward in part for “the hard work and dedication that non-bargaining unit employees demonstrate on a daily basis.”

Hoffman said the last across-the-board

U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth

U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk

called for the Senate to hold hearings on President Barack Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court. And former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney praised Kirk’s independence Wednesday, adding that the GOP must hold on to the Senate to “keep America from going off the rails.”

But Duckworth has had her own high-profile endorsements. Obama appeared at a fundraiser with her this month, and the campaign launched a new radio ad in which Obama notes Duckworth’s father worked in a factory and that she worked her way through college with the help of student loans and grants.

“Tammy knows what’s important to our families. That’s because she’s walked in our shoes,” Obama says, call-

ing the Hoffman Estates resident “a terrific leader who will never stop fighting for all of us.”

Both candidates also offer compelling personal stories. Duckworth lost both legs when her helicopter was shot down in Iraq, while Kirk suffered a stroke in 2012 and went through grueling rehabilitation before returning to work in Washington.

The second-term congresswoman brought in more than three times the cash Kirk did during the final fundraising quarter before the Nov. 8 election, leaving her with more than $4 million to Kirk’s roughly $1.4 million.

Kirk has criticized Duckworth’s time as director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs and in a leadership post at the federal VA, running

salary increase for non-bargaining unit employees was in 2005, and the last merit pay program for them was in 2009.

Rauner’s office said employees had to receive an “exceptional” rating on individual evaluations to qualify. The bonuses have already been issued to many of the workers who qualified.

Hoffman’s memo says the bonuses are available to non-bargaining unit employees whose base salary as of July 1 was less than $100,000. Those earning more were not eligible, as were a number of other merit-comp employees.

Umpleby has worked at Caterpillar for more than three decades. He currently is president of the company’s Peoria-based energy and transportation group, which reported $17.9 billion in sales last year.

Umpleby has worked in a variety of positions in the U.S. and Asia, including assignments in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

Caterpillar spokeswoman Rachel Potts said Umpleby is committed to making Caterpillar stronger and has deep roots in the Peoria area. Potts said the CEO switch was not because of the company’s global restructuring plan, which is expected to save Caterpillar $1.5 billion by 2018 due to 10,000 job layoffs, facility closures and discontinuation of some equipment.

television ads featuring women who say Duckworth ignored problems they reported or retaliated against them.

Duckworth has denied the claims, says she was unaware of problems with waiting lists at Illinois veterans’ homes and blames the failure of a program to increase veteran access to health care on imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Kirk said this week he isn’t buying those explanations – “I’m sure she’ll say the dog ate my homework or something.”

Duckworth has blasted Kirk in campaign ads for exaggerating his own military record, including his assertion that he came under enemy fire while flying reconnaissance missions in Iraq. The former Navy intelligence officer has apologized for the misstatements.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee had scheduled additional TV ads in the final weeks of the race, but recently cut back on the order and diverted the money to states with more competitive Senate races.

Kirk and Duckworth are scheduled to meet for two televised debates before Nov. 8: Thursday in Springfield and Nov. 4 in Chicago.

Emanuel’s office said the mayor envisions the projects boasting bold architectural designs that will offer a break from the typical “cookie-cutter designs” common in government buildings.

The libraries will offer programming and resources to housing authority residents as well as area children and families, including early childhood learning spaces.

Each library also will offer the “Teacher in a Library” program where kids can get free homework assistance.

Report: Calif. soldiers must released after a ransom was paid, repay enlistment bonuses and international mediators said

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Nearly 10,000 California National Guard soldiers have been ordered to repay huge enlistment bonuses a decade after signing up to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan, a newspaper reported Saturday.

The Pentagon demanded the money back after audits revealed overpayments by the California Guard under pressure to fill ranks and hit enlistment goals. If soldiers refuse, they could face interest charges, wage garnishments and tax liens, the Los Angeles Times said.

Faced with a shortage of troops at the height of the two wars, California Guard officials offered bonuses of $15,000 or more for soldiers to re-enlist.

A federal investigation in 2010 found thousands of bonuses and student loan payments were improperly doled out to California Guard soldiers. About 9,700 current and retired soldiers received notices to repay some or all of their bonuses with more than $22 million recovered so far.

Hussein said $1.5 million in ransom was paid for the sailors’ release. That claim could not be independently verified.

Trump vows to sue accusers; Clinton focused on support

By JOSH LEDERMAN and JILL COLVIN The Associated Press

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Steering his campaign toward controversy yet again, Donald Trump vowed Saturday to sue every woman who has accused him of sexual assault or other inappropriate behavior. He called them “liars” whose allegations he blamed Democrats for orchestrating.

Trump’s blunt threat of legal action eclipsed his planned focus on serious-minded policy during a speech in Gettysburg. Although his campaign had billed the speech as a chance for Trump to lay out a to-do list for his first 100 days as president, he seemed unable to restrain himself from re-litigating grievances with Hillary Clinton, the media and especially the women who have come forward in recent days.

“All of these liars will be sued once the election is over,” Trump said. He added later: “I look so forward to doing that.”

Speaking to reporters aboard her campaign plane between rallies in Pennsylvania, Clinton said that after three debates, she was no longer thinking about responding to what Trump says and would “let the American people decide what he offers and what we offer.”

Clinton said she would be focusing the days remaining before the election helping down-ballot Democrats. To that end, she assailed the state’s Republican senator, Pat Toomey, saying in Pittsburgh that he has refused to “stand up” to Trump as she touted his Democratic challenger, Katie McGinty.

Noting Trump’s comments about Mexican immigrants and his attacks on a Muslim-American military family, she said of Toomey: “If he doesn’t have the courage to stand up to Donald Trump after all of this, then can you be sure that he will stand up for you when it counts?”

Toomey spokesman Ted Kwong said Clinton’s comments show that McGinty would not

be an independent voice in the Senate.

“Today is just further proof that hyper-partisan, ethically challenged Katie McGinty will be a rubber stamp for everything Hillary Clinton wants to do in Washington,” he said. “Pat Toomey has been, and will continue to be, an independent leader in the Senate on issues ranging from gun safety to ending Wall Street bailouts.”

Trump’s comments on women Saturday came after numerous complaints that his behavior toward them has been inappropriate.

Nearly a dozen women have publicly accused Trump of unwanted advances or sexual assault in the weeks since a 2005 recording emerged in which the former reality TV star boasted of kissing women and groping their genitals without their consent. The latest came on Saturday, when an adult film actress said the billionaire kissed her and two other women on the lips “without asking for permission” when they met him after a golf tournament in 2006.

Trump has denied all the allegations, while insisting some of the women weren’t attractive enough for him to want to pursue.

“Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign,” he said. Without offering evidence, he surmised that Clinton or the Democratic National Committee had put the women up to it. Clinton called the accusation “inaccurate.”

Trump’s broadside against the women came at the start of an otherwise substantive speech that sought to weave the many policy ideas he has put forward into a single, cohesive agenda that he said he would pursue aggressively during his first three months in office.

The Republican nominee vowed to lift restrictions on domestic energy production, label China as a currency manipulator and renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, familiar themes to supporters who have flocked to his rallies this year.

Report: AT&T in talks to buy Time Warner

By TALI ARBEL and BERNARD CONDON The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Grab some popcorn – AT&T wants to take you to the movies.

At least that’s the word on Wall Street after several reports citing unnamed sources said the giant phone company is in advanced talks to buy Time Warner, owner of the Warner Bros. movie studio as well as HBO and CNN. AT&T is said to be offering $80 billion or more, a massive deal that would shake up the media landscape.

The acquisition would combine a telecom giant that owns a leading cellphone business, DirecTV and internet service with the company behind some of the world’s most popular entertainment, including “Game of Thrones,” “The Big Bang Theory” and professional basketball. It would be the latest in a scramble of tie-ups between the owners of digital distribution networks – think cable and phone companies – and entertainment and news providers, all aimed at shoring up businesses upended by the internet.

Second time around for Time Warner?

The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday that the boards of AT&T and Time Warner were meeting to approve the deal. Neither company returned calls requesting comment.

If the reported price holds true, it would make Time Warner the target of the two largest media-company acquisitions on record, according to Dealogic.

The highest was AOL’s disastrous $94 billion acquisition of Time Warner at the end of the dot-com boom.

Regulators would have to sign off on the deal, no certain thing. The prospect of another media giant on the horizon has already drawn fire on the campaign trail. Speaking in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump vowed to kill it if elected because it concentrates too much “power in the hands of too few.”

Shares of AT&T, as is typical of acquirers in large deals, fell on reports of the deal Friday, ending the day down 3 percent.

Media merger mania

Companies that provide phone and internet connections are investing in media to find new revenue sources and ensure they don’t get relegated to being just “dumb pipes.” Verizon bought AOL last year and has now proposed a deal for Yahoo to build a digital-ad business.

Comcast bought NBCUniversal in 2011.

AT&T has been active, too.

After its attempt to buy wireless competitor T-Mobile was scrapped in 2011 following opposition from regulators,

the company doubled down on television by purchasing satellite-TV company DirecTV for $48.5 billion. AT&T is expected to offer a streaming TV package, DirecTV Now, by the end of the year, aimed at people who have dropped their cable subscriptions or never had one.

The pressure on AT&T has been intense.

The venerable phone company with roots back to Alexander Graham Bell has to contend with slowing growth in wireless services, given that most Americans already have smartphones, and it faces new competitors for that business from cable companies. Comcast plans to launch a cellphone service for its customers next year.

Buying Time Warner may be “a good defensive move” against Comcast as the cable giant continues stretching into new businesses, New Street Research analyst Jonathan Chaplin said in a Friday note. Comcast also bought movie studio DreamWorks Animation in August.

Potential downsides

Even if the AT&T deal overcame opposition in Washington, it’s possible that regulators might place so many conditions on the bigger company that the combination might not make sense.

“It’s not hard to imagine what you can do on paper. They would keep HBO exclusive for only DirecTV subscribers, or only make TNT or TBS available over AT&T Wireless,” said analyst Craig Moffett of research firm MoffettNathanson, referring to Time Warner networks.

“But as a practical matter, those kinds of strategies are expressly prohibited by the FCC and antitrust law.”

Then there is the reported $80 billion that AT&T is apparently willing to hand over to Time Warner, a figure 30 percent higher than investors thought the company was worth a week ago.

“Count me as a skeptic that there is real value to be created,” Moffett said.

Amy Yong, an analyst at Macquarie Capital, recalled many celebrated media deals of the past have turned into duds, mentioning the Time Warner-AOL deal in particular. “If you look at history, it’s still an unproven” that big deals make sense, she said. AT&T, she noted, was paying “a huge price.”

Still, Yong said that AT&T and other phone companies feel they have to act because the threats to their business seem to be coming from every direction.

“At the end of the day, these companies are trying to compete with Google and Facebook and Amazon, not just traditional competitors,” she said. “You see Google pivoting into wireless.”

BARTELLA, Iraq – The Iraqi army pushed into a town near the Islamic State-held city of Mosul on Saturday, a day after dozens of IS militants stormed into the northern city of Kirkuk, setting off two days of clashes and killing at least 80 people, mostly security forces.

U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter meanwhile met with Iraq’s prime minister and commanders in Baghdad to discuss the offensive to retake Mosul, which the U.S. is supporting with airstrikes and advisers on the ground.

The Iraqi army said the 9th Division has pushed into the town of Hamdaniyah, also known as Qaraqosh and Bakhdida, and raised the flag over its government compound, but the troops were likely still facing resistance in and around the town. Similar past announcements have often proved premature.

The town is around 12 miles from Mosul. Iraqi forces launched a widescale offensive earlier this week aimed at retaking Mosul, the country’s second largest city, which fell to IS in 2014.

Hamdaniyah is believed to be largely uninhabited. IS has heavily mined

Risan was shot in the chest by a sniper Saturday during a battle in the al-Shura area. Journalist Ahmet Haceroglu of Turkmeneli TV was shot dead by a militant sniper Friday, while covering the IS assault on Kirkuk.

Iraqi forces retook the town of Bartella, about 9 miles east of Mosul, earlier this week, but are still facing pockets of resistance in the area.

In Kirkuk, meanwhile, some fighting continued a day after the IS assault on the city, some 100 miles southeast of Mosul. The wave of attacks in and around Kirkuk appeared to be an attempt to divert attention from Mosul.

Brig. Gen. Khattab Omer of the Kirkuk police said at least 80 people were killed in the assault, mainly Kurdish security forces. An additional 170 were wounded, he said, adding that a sundown curfew has been imposed on the city.

Omer said Kurdish security forces recovered the bodies of 56 militants who took part in the attack. The Kurds assumed control of Kirkuk in 2014, when the Iraqi army and police crumbled in the face of a lightning IS advance across northern Iraq.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said the Kirkuk assault was a terrorist attack and not a military breach.

OUR VIEW

Read, weigh the issues, then vote

TV celebrity Mike Rowe – of Ford trucks, dirty jobs and doing it because somebody’s gotta – recently was asked to use his celebrity to encourage people to get out and vote.

He declined. His reasons should give us all pause.

“Regardless of their political agenda, my celebrity pals are fundamentally mistaken about our ‘civic duty’ to vote. There is simply no such thing. Voting is a right, not a duty, and not a moral For the record obligation. Like all rights, the right to vote comes with some Visit NWHerald.com/elecresponsibilities, but tion-central to get informed let’s face it – the bar about local races. is not set very high,” he said.

Simply said, you shouldn’t encourage someone to vote just to vote. Educating oneself about candidates and issues is a time-consuming task that should not be reduced to a whim inspired by a Hollywood personality’s earnest plea.

Our initial reasons for creating a public education system were so that we would produce voters capable of evaluating and understanding the choices they were making at the ballot box.

Thomas Jefferson wrote in support of public education that: “The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information.

Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe.”

We regularly encourage readers on these pages to get out and vote. This year, we’re going to put as much emphasis on making informed choices.

Consider this, then, the campaign to get out and read. Only then, after you have invested the time to understand the issues and to weigh the choices, should you get out and vote.

That will mean you don’t choose someone based on who you think will win. You won’t rule out other-party candidates because they might help or hurt a major-party candidate.

You will make informed choices because you have earned that responsibility by doing your homework and weighing the information against your values and understanding.

It’s time to get busy.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump not just losing; Clinton winning If present trends continue – and we emphasize “if” – Hillary Clinton will be elected president on Nov. 8, in an ironic conclusion to a political year that supposedly belonged to outsiders and populists such as Donald Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont.

Why has Clinton, the “establishment” alternative facing the voters, wound up in the lead at this late date? According to much conventional wisdom, she is the beneficiary of structural factors, such as voter demographics, and of good fortune – in the form of the Republican Party’s spectacularly irresponsible choice of an incompetent nominee.

Nevertheless, it is time to point out another reason Clinton is winning: She is earning it. She and her campaign have remained disciplined and evenkeeled through tempests large and small – and through the tests of political communication and argument known as the presiden-

tial debates, both against Sanders and against Trump. It is not easy to stand on a stage for 90 minutes and parry words with an opponent, moderators and town-hall invitees; still less is it easy to do so while keeping one’s cool amid sleazy provocations and unpredictable insults from Trump.

Through it all, Clinton has stayed focused on issues, laying out a program for the country that we don’t accept in every particular but that is well within the broad mainstream of plausible policy alternatives.

Perhaps most important, she has kept her rhetoric civil and inclusive, in the face of an opponent bent on trashing the norms of democratic discourse. This is no mere style point. It is in a way substantive too, because this election has taken on importance beyond the already-high stakes for national policy; it has turned into a trial of our democratic culture. Certainly, Clinton has found

ways to needle her opponent.

But by preparing for the debates, using them to advance rational arguments and refraining from responding in kind to Trump’s lowest blows, Clinton has exemplified what’s still good about that culture.

In fact, you might say she has reminded people of what’s good about “establishment” politicians – about people who understand it takes skill to survive and advance their causes in the public square, and who make it their business to polish those skills.

In no sense do we suggest her campaign is exemplary in all respects, or that she has answered all legitimate doubts about her record. However, Clinton’s performance apparently has won her more appreciation from the electorate – a precious measure of political capital she will badly need if it does indeed fall to her to unite the country next year.

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.

Review no votes on township consolidation

Reick bad for schools

To the Editor: The Northwest Herald recently endorsed Steven Reick for the 63rd District in Illinois, complimenting his position on school reform to address high property taxes. You did not inform your readers that school reform to Mr. Reick ultimately is replacing public schools with vouchers parents can use to choose private schools, start-up storefront schools, virtual learning centers and other educational institutions, whatever he means by that. Reick said he wished to tear up public schools root and branch.

Reick’s desire to give parents a choice is contrary to surveys that have indicated parents don’t desire school choice as much as they want quality neighborhood schools.

Candidate John Bartman wants to address high property taxes in the district, but not by destroying one of

Dedicated library board member will be missed

To the Editor: It is too easy to gloss over the coming and going of great people who do public service and who humbly attract little recognition and ample appreciation. I am happy to take a moment to publicly thank Debbie Nelson for years of service to the Arlington Heights Library Board.

Serving the board since 2008, Debbie Nelson is one of the busiest and most dedicated people I know. So many admire her as one of the least selfish humanitarians on this planet. How in the world she finds time to read and do public service amidst her busy daily schedule is a shocker.

My personal appreciation for Debbie Nelson benefited from her work guiding the Gridiron Alliance. The Alliance was formed to be an outreach to student athletes and related families adapting to the aftermath of catastrophic injury in sports. Debbie was a co-founder and gave of herself tirelessly while serving as vice president and secretary of the library board, taking care of her family and so much more.

Thanks, Debbie Nelson, for guiding the library over these many productive years of service. Under your leadership, with others, the AH Memorial Library continues serving as a world-class beacon of great resources shared so well with our community and beyond.

Now, I am quite sure some other organization(s) will benefit from your smile, compassion and friendly intelligence as you move on. On behalf of many of us in the Debbie Nelson Fan Club, we say thanks. Take a bow. You will be missed.

Politicians vs. Trump

To the Editor: Isn’t it strange that past presidents and vice presidents all are backing Hillary Clinton? Why are they so afraid to back Donald Trump? Perhaps it is because he could run the government as a business venture and take us into a better economy and a safer world. He has not presented himself as suave as the Clintons, but he speaks his mind.

Most politicians try to work around the truth and cover up the facts to suit their agenda.

Who are working for the people? Not the lifelong politicians who only work to benefit themselves.

Nanette Johnson McHenry

Reviewing all options, I’ll vote for McMullin

To the Editor: The cost to repair the current library in Crystal Lake will be almost onethird of the cost of a new library, and we still would have a deteriorating, inadequate building. While no one likes to pay more taxes, I urge everyone to vote yes to build a new state-ofthe-art library as an investment in the future and a legacy for our children and grandchildren.

To the Editor: In the Oct. 2 issue of the Northwest Herald, Jonathan Capehart, editor at the Washington Post, wrote “Still hate Trump and Clinton? Here’s McMullin!”

To quote Jonathon, Evan McMullin “threw his hat in the ring more than a month ago and has been taken seriously ever since.”

I’m not pleased with the two options we seem to have this year. In fact, I’m disgusted.

So I’ve researched McMullin and his running mate Mindy Finn and couldn’t be more pleased. I overwhelmingly agree with their values and stances on important issues.

In this short period of time, Evan and Mindy have received enough support to be listed on the ballots of seven states.

Unfortunately, they are not listed on our ballot, but they can be written in.

I encourage you to do due diligence, research your options and not just vote for the lesser of two evils. Vote your conscience. I will.

• Sunday, October 23, 2016

To the Editor: On Nov. 8, Crystal Lake residents should vote “yes” on the referendum for a new library building. The current building is too small and is inefficient to operate. Spending millions on repairs still would leave us with an inadequate building.

The Crystal Lake Public Library is much more than a place to borrow books. The ways that city residents use the library are continually changing.

Crystal Lake should have a library building that can go on meeting the needs of our citizens.

On an average day, more than 850 people visit the Crystal Lake Public Library. Like my wife and I, they get information they can’t afford to buy and haven’t found on the internet.

our most basic democratic institutions, the public schools, as Mr. Reick appears eager to do. The choice is clear.

Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk unveils the company’s newest products, in Hawthorne, Calif. Tesla Motors is starting to build its electric cars with all the sensors, cameras and other gear needed to drive completely on their own when regulations allow the technology to take over that responsibility. The announcement made late Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2016, by Tesla CEO Musk marks the Silicon Valley automaker’s next step toward selling cars that can navigate the roads without the help of a human.

Tesla equipping cars to drive on their own

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – Tesla Motors is starting to build its electric cars with all the sensors, cameras and other gear needed to drive completely on their own when regulations allow the technology to take over that responsibility.

The announcement made late Wednesday by Tesla CEO Elon Musk marks the Silicon Valley automaker’s next step toward selling cars that can navigate the roads without the help of a human.

Google, ride-hailing service Uber and an assortment of other automakers also are working on a range of self-driving cars in an effort to ultimately turn the steering wheel over to robots.

Tesla has offered an automatic steering and braking system called Autopilot in its cars since last year, but that technology is meant to be monitored at all times by a driver.

After additional testing and getting the necessary regulatory clearance, all the cars rolling off Tesla’s assembly lines will have the equipment needed to be fully autonomous, Musk said.

By auto-industry standards Tesla is small, making about 100,000 cars a year, although hopes to increase its production to 500,000 vehicles per year by 2018.

Musk predicted the technology will be twice as safe as a human driver. But adding the protection will jack up prices on Tesla vehicles that already can run over $80,000 depending on what features a buyer wants. Adding the software and activating the hardware needed for a fully autonomous car will cost an additional $8,000 – a more than 20 percent increase on the cost of Tesla’s $35,000 Model 3 sedan that is scheduled to be delivered next year.

Musk said he thinks the price will prove to be a pittance if he meets his goal of improving the technology so it’s eventually 10 times safer than a human driver. The cars with the fully

self-driving technology will get those improvements in upgrades delivered online.

Tesla’s future cars will have eight cameras instead of the single one currently on the vehicles running the less-sophisticated Autopilot system.

They will have sensors with twice the range as the current vehicles and have 40 times more computing power capable of performing 12 trillion operations per second, according to Musk.

“It will basically be a supercomputer in a car,” he said.

But it’s an open question when federal and state regulators in the U.S. will settle on laws that allow robots to drive cars.

Even if regulations were to allow it now, Tesla is conceding it’s not ready to flip switch yet, saying it still needs to do more testing and gather more data. For that reason, safety features such as automatic emergency breaking, collision warning, lane holding and active cruise control that are currently available in current cars using

the first generation of Autopilot won’t be immediately be turned on in the vehicles designed to be fully autonomous.

Those limitations make buying Tesla’s autonomous cars a “vanity purchase” akin to buying a TV offering ultrahigh-definition 4K pictures when relatively little programming is available in that format, said Edmunds.com analyst Jessica Caldwell.

“There’s also a risk that by the time all these self-driving features are fully tested and activated, other manufacturers may be ready to roll out more advanced hardware with better capabilities,” Caldwell said.

Consumer watchdogs have questioned whether Tesla’s first Autopilot system was ready to be on the road after a driver earlier this year using the system was killed when his Model S sedan struck a tractor-trailer in Florida. Tesla maintains Autopilot wasn’t at fault. Government regulators are investigating the circumstances of the accident.

Young, jobless and scared about future

Dear Dave: I’m 23, and I lost a good job a few days ago due to layoffs. My wife has been a stay-at-home mom with our 10-month-old daughter, and we have very little in the way of savings. What can we do to keep our heads above water? – Seth Dear Seth: I’m really sorry you’re going through this. I’ve been there, so I know this is a scary time for you. There are some short- and long-term goals to think about in a situation like this, but let’s look at the immediate future.

Go crazy about finding some kind of income. I don’t care if it’s delivering pizza during the week and working at the mall on weekends.

Even if it doesn’t completely replace your previous income, it will give you some cash to pay bills and stay afloat. On your off days, and before and after work, you can line up and do interviews for a more stable, fulltime job. You may even have to trade off babysitting duties with your wife so she can earn some money too.

While all this is going on, have a garage sale and sell anything you don’t need or want anymore. Just about anything that can be turned into income should be turned into income. In the process, prioritize your bills and other financial responsibilities. Take care of food first, then utilities, the mortgage or rent, then transportation. You guys don’t need to see the inside of a restaurant for a while unless you’re working there, and if things don’t get better by Christmas, any gifts you give should be handmade crafts.

This is doable if you two work

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey hard, pull together, and focus. God bless you guys, Seth.

Dear Dave: I’ve just started my own small business. As the owner and only employee, how do I determine my profits? – Brittany Dear Brittany: Here’s a basic Accounting 101 definition for you, regardless of how many employees you have or how big your business may be. What you take in, minus expenses – in other words, your revenues minus your expenses – equal profit. Believe it or not, it really is that simple.

Since you’re just starting out, I’d strongly advise you to set up a separate checking account for your business. That’s the only way to accurately tell exactly what’s going on within the business. When you co-mingle business money with grocery money and things like that in your personal account, you’ll never have an accurate picture of what’s really happening with your business.

Lost dream of grandparenthood leaves hole in woman’s heart

Dear Abby: I have two wonderful children (28 and 30). Both are married and have great spouses.

Ever since I was a girl, I have dreamed of being a mother and a grandmother. My heartbreak is that neither of my children wants kids. Every time I hear that my sister or brother is becoming a grandparent again, my heart aches so bad I sit down and cry.

My husband says I need to accept it and move on. I have tried, but I’m so depressed right now I don’t know what to do. I’m thankful my children found their soulmates and are doing very well. I just don’t know how to get past this missing part of me. – Unhappy In Colorado Dear Unhappy: Have you considered researching volunteer opportunities to work with children or teens? While they wouldn’t be related to you, it would give you an opportunity to make a significant difference in a child’s life.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips One organization that comes to mind is Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, which would give you the chance to be a mentor. Another program you might enjoy is Foster Grandparents, which is sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Or call the hospitals in your area and ask if they need someone to come in on a regular basis to hold and rock premature infants and newborns. If you contact CASA for Children (casaforchildren. org), you could become a court-appointed advocate for abused and neglected children and teens, which may provide the emotional satisfaction you need.

I hope my suggestions will help you.

However, if they don’t, then you must accept plans we make for ourselves when we are young don’t always work out as we wish they would, and let them go.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been together for more than 30 years. It has been a very lonely marriage. I raised the kids alone while he worked and volunteered at the church and teen club.

I spent the first 10 years of our marriage nagging him to spend time with me and the kids, but he always was too busy “doing good.” I tried a couple of times to participate in his life by camping with him and the teens, but the girls gossiping until 1 a.m. and the boys stick sword fighting at 5 a.m. left me exhausted and irritable. Plus, it didn’t accomplish anything because he didn’t spend any time with me and the kids, anyway. I finally gave up nagging and just concentrated on raising our three kids.

Our kids are now grown, although

one still lives at home and attends college. I feel stuck because I don’t have Biblical grounds for divorce. I’m only 50, so I’m looking at 30 more years of loneliness.

A couple of years ago, I found a really fun sport – scuba diving. I’ve made some great friends, but this isn’t something I’ll be able to do for the next 30 years. Do you have any suggestions? – Lonely In

The West Dear Lonely: Not knowing to which

religious denomination you belong, the best advice I can offer is to talk to your clergyperson about possible grounds for divorce within your religion. That you have been effectively emotionally deserted for decades by your husband might qualify. You have my sympathy.

A little bit of baseball heaven VIEWS Tom Musick

CHICAGO – Keith Schram had one request when his wife suggested moving to the city after his retirement in 2003.

“I said, ‘As long as we’re within 10 blocks of heaven, I’ll do it,’ ” Schram said.

Care to guess where heaven is?

Here’s a hint: Schram, 68, is an usher there. (Yes, apparently, heaven needs ushers.)

Tens of millions of long-suffering Cubs fans are experiencing something incredibly special. Something made possible by the team’s players, coaches Keith Schram and front-office staff.

For the first time since 1945, the Cubs are going to the World Series.

But what about the hundreds of other men and women who also work at Wrigley Field? Maybe they don’t wear blue-and-white pinstripes or have their names beamed on the scoreboard, but they devote countless hours as ushers, vendors, concessions workers and other personnel to serve fans.

This moment is for them, too.

Schram works in the upper deck, behind Section 409 and in front of the press box.

“I’m telling you, this is the greatest job in the ballpark,” Schram said as he looked out over home plate toward the center-field scoreboard. “It’s really a privilege to do this. The best part is meeting people.”

As gatekeeper to the press box, Schram is on a first-name basis with Cubs broadcasters and other franchise icons. He grew up cheering for Ron Santo as a player and befriended Santo as an analyst. When Santo died in 2010, Schram helped to carry Santo’s casket from the hearse to the church on the day of the wake.

Schram has stood guard as a slew of celebrity guests have arrived to sing during the seventh-inning stretch. One day, he might say hello to a Supreme Court justice. The next day, it might be Meat Loaf.

Before he became an usher, Schram spent 33 years as a high school math teacher and basketball coach. He

Cubs relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman (right) and catcher Willson Contreras celebrate Saturday after the final out of Game 6 of the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won, 5-0. started at Lemont High School before moving to Peotone High School for the bulk of his career.

It is not uncommon for a former student to recognize Schram as he or she walks through the concourse. Once, a woman turned to him quizzically and asked, “Mr. Schram?” Turns out, he was her teacher in 1971.

So much has changed since then,

but not Schram’s love for the Cubs.

“I was a Cub fan from the time I can remember,” said Schram, whose twin brothers were 7 years older. “My dad was a Cub fan. My brothers were Cub fans. It was just part of the family.”

Schram’s dad has passed away. So has his mom, who died last month at age 100. Both brothers are gone, too.

A World Series win would be for

them as much as it would be for him.

Schram still gets chills when he arrives to the park. It’s the same stadium where, as a teenager, he scored a ticket to the 1962 All-Star Game.

On that day more than five decades ago, he and a pal found a spot along the third-base line to watch batting practice. Yogi Berra of the New York Yankees ripped a foul ball into the seats.

“I’d like to say I caught it,” Schram said. “But, really, I chased it down.”

Cool moment, right? Keepsake of a lifetime.

Except Schram dreamed bigger. He decided to mail the ball to the Cubs and ask to have it autographed.

“My parents and everybody else said, no, don’t do that, you’re never going to see that ball again,” Schram said. “But I had all the confidence in the world. So I sent it in.”

A few weeks later, the ball returned in the mail – signed by all of the Cubs.

Schram carries the same unflinching confidence that the Cubs will win the World Series this year.

How could you doubt the man? After all, he works in heaven.

“I have a feeling that if we win the World Series, there will be a lot of people that retire from this job,” Schram said. “Not me. I’m going to stay here as long as I can.”

THE WAIT IS OVER

Cubs make it to World Series for 1st time since ’45 The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Cursed by a Billy Goat, bedeviled by Bartman and crushed by decades of disappointment, the Cubs are at long last headed back to the World Series.

Kyle Hendricks outpitched Clayton Kershaw, Anthony Rizzo and Willson Contreras homered early and the Cubs won their first pennant since 1945, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-0, Saturday night in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series.

The drought ended when closer Aroldis Chapman got Yasiel Puig to ground into a double play, setting off a wild celebration inside Wrigley Field, outside the ballpark and all over the city.

Seeking their first crown since 1908, manager Joe Maddon’s team opens the World Series at Cleveland on Tuesday night. The Indians haven’t won it all since 1948 – Cleveland and the Cubs have the two longest title droughts in the majors.

“This city deserves it so much,” Rizzo said. “We got four more big ones to go, but we’re going to enjoy this. We’re going to the World Series. I can’t even believe that.”

All-everything Javy Baez and pitcher Jon Lester shared the NLCS MVP. Baez hit .318, drove in five runs and made several sharp plays at second base. Lester, a former World Series champion in Boston, was 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA in two starts against the Dodgers.

Deemed World Series favorites since opening day, the Cubs topped the majors with 103 wins to win the NL Central, then beat the Giants and Dodgers in the playoffs.

The Cubs overcame a 2-1 deficit against the Dodgers and won their 17th pennant. They had not earned a World Series trip since winning a doubleheader opener 4-3 at Pittsburgh on Sept. 29, 1945, to clinch the pennant on the nextto-last day of the season.

The eternal “wait till next year” is over. No more dwelling on a history of failure – the future is now.

Cubs fans cheer after the Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-0, in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday at Wrigley Field.

Cubs could get Schwarber back for World Series CHICAGO – One little doctor’s appointment for Kyle Schwarber has turned into an intriguing possibility for the Chicago Cubs.

Schwarber is working out in Arizona after major left knee surgery in April, and the Cubs say the injured slugger with the sweet left-handed swing could play when Chicago returns to the World Series for the first time since 1945.

The Cubs had ruled Schwarber out for the year after he tore two knee ligaments during an outfield collision. But Schwarber’s checkup with Dr. Daniel Cooper on Monday in Dallas cleared the way for the Cubs to take a closer look at the catcher/outfielder in the Arizona Fall League.

“We got the best possible report. It exceeded any reasonable expectation that we had,” pres-

ident of baseball operations Theo Epstein said Saturday before the Cubs beat the Dodgers, 5-0, in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series.

Schwarber’s return would be a big boost for the Cubs, who will play at Cleveland in Game 1 on Tuesday night. He hit .333 with a franchise-record five homers in nine playoff games last year, including a drive that reached the top of a Wrigley Field videoboard.

Schwarber was 0 for 3 with a walk as the designated hitter Saturday night for the Mesa Solar Sox. He watched the Cubs face the Dodgers on a tablet in the dugout between at-bats.

Schwarber could help at designated hitter while the World Series is in Cleveland.

“We’re too young. We don’t care about it,” star slugger Kris Bryant said.

“We don’t look into it. This is a new team, this is a completely different time of our lives. We’re enjoying it and our work’s just getting started.”

Hendricks pitched two-hit ball for 7 1/3 innings. Chapman took over and closed with hitless relief, then threw both arms in the air as he was mobbed by teammates and coaches.

The crowd joined in, chanting and serenading their team.

“Chicago!” shouted popular backup catcher David Ross.

In 1945, the Billy Goat Curse suppos-

edly began when a tavern owner wasn’t allowed to bring his goat to Wrigley. In 2003, the Cubs lost the final three games of the NLCS to Florida, punctuated with a Game 6 defeat when fan Steve Bartman deflected a foul ball.

Even as recently as 2012, the Cubs lost 101 times.

This time, no such ill luck.

Bryant had an RBI single and scored in a two-run first. Dexter Fowler added two hits, drove in a run and scored one.

Contreras led off the fourth with a homer. Rizzo continued his resurgence with a solo drive in the fifth.

That was plenty for Hendricks.

4 PREP FOOTBALL PLAYOFF PAIRINGS

PR, C-G on semifinal collision course

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com The area’s top two football teams started the season playing one another, with Prairie Ridge beating Cary-Grove, 26-14.

If the two Fox Valley Conference powerhouses meet again, it will be with a lot more on the line – a trip to the Class 6A state championship game.

Prairie Ridge (9-0) picked up the top seed in the northern bracket of Class 6A when the IHSA playoff pairings were announced Saturday night. C-G (8-1) earned the No. 3 seed, meaning any rematch would be in a state semifinal.

Johnsburg (9-0) was the other area team to pick up a high seed, grabbing No. 2 in the northern half of Class 4A. The Skyhawks were behind No. 1 Herscher (9-0), which had 41 playoff points (opponents’ victories) to Johnsburg’s 40.

Defending Class 4A state champion Chicago Phillips (8-1), which knocked out Johnsburg in the second round the past two seasons, is the No. 4 seed, so the Skyhawks would not see the Wildcats until the semifinals.

CLASS 8A C-G almost landed back in Class 7A No. 24 Huntley (6-3) at No. 9 Stevenson but instead stayed in 6A as the largest (8-1) school in that class.

CLASS 7A The other area teams to make the No. 28 Jacobs (5-4) at No. 5 Lincoln Park playoffs were Huntley (6-3) in Class 8A, (8-1) McHenry (6-3) and Jacobs (5-4) in 7A, No. 21 McHenry (6-3) at No. 12 Batavia Woodstock North (6-3) and Marian Cen(7-2) tral (5-4) in 5A and Richmond-Burton CLASS 6A (6-3) and Marengo (5-4) in 4A. No. 16 Deerfield (5-4) at No. 1 Prairie Prairie Ridge will host No. 16 DeerRidge (9-0) field (5-4) in the first round, with MonNo. 14 Wheeling (5-4) at No. 3 Carytini (6-3) looming as a potential secGrove (8-1) ond-round opponent.

CLASS 5A “It’s a pretty tough draw,” Prairie No. 9 Rich Central (6-3) at No. 8 WoodRidge coach Chris Schremp said. “The stock North (6-3) northern half is pretty tough. Whoever No. 14 Marian Central (5-4) at No. 3 makes it through is going to be a pretty Chicago Payton (8-1) tough team. With the guys we have, I CLASS 4A like our chances.”

No. 15 Marengo (5-4) at No. 2 Johnsburg Prairie Ridge and C-G each have been (9-0) to semifinals four times since 2009.

be,” Trojans coach Brad Seaburg said.

“We figured we’d be right on that line between 6A and 7A. We’re pretty happy with the situation we’re in.”

Johnsburg notched its first unbeaten season since 2004 with its closest game coming in the opener, a 32-20 win over Plano.

“I kind of expected Herscher to get pushed up,” Skyhawks coach Dan DeBoeuf said. “I hoped it would shake out that way. I think it’s a favorable draw for us.”

Playoff notes: Huntley has reached the playoffs for the third consecutive year, a first in school history. … Marengo has qualified in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1996 and 1997. … Woodstock North’s Trevor Stinger blocked a winning field-goal attempt against Rock Falls to force overtime Friday in the Thunder’s 23-22 victory.

North would not have made the playoffs at 5-4 with 36 playoff points, but at 6-3 got a first-round home game at 6-3 as the No. 8 seed. … C-G is in the playoffs for the 13th consecutive season, first among area teams. R-B has 10 in a row for second.

PREP FOOTBALL: MARIAN CENTRAL 21, CHICAGO ST. PATRICK 14

Hurricanes hang on to reach postseason

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Marian Central quarterback Gavin Scott raced around left end, running through one defender and spinning around another, before finally being brought down.

Scott lay on his back for a moment, gazing at the sun, smiling.

Finally, the Hurricanes could exhale. Scott’s 9-yard gain sealed the deal against Chicago St. Patrick, and Marian had completed its difficult journey to the Class 5A playoffs. Scott took a knee on one more play as the clock ran out, and the Hurricanes had a 21-14 victory in their East Suburban Catholic Conference game Saturday at Hanson Stadium.

“I thought, ‘Thank God, it’s over,’ ” Scott said. “I needed help (up). Everything was worth it.”

He deserved it. The junior turned in a monumental effort, running 27 times for 194 yards and two touchdowns.

The defense met every challenge necessary, forcing four turnovers and twice stopping St. Patrick drives inside the Hurricanes’ 10-yard line.

Marian (5-4 overall, 3-4 ESCC) entered the game with 40 playoff points,

Marian Central quarterback Gavin Scott celebrates after he scored a touchdown against St. Patrick in the first half Saturday at Hanson Stadium in Chicago. knowing a win would mean a trip to the Class 5A playoffs. St. Patrick finished 4-5, 2-5.

“It’s the best feeling I’ve ever had,” Hurricanes linebacker Steve Pinter said.

After a Week 7 double-overtime loss to Carmel, Marian had to win its final two games on the road.

“I talked about fortitude being the trait of our defense,” Hurricanes coach

Mike Maloney said. “Regardless of circumstances, regardless of opponent, they find a way to get it done in the most critical of downs. That’s a great trait to have going into this postseason. A lot of these game are going to come down to those critical downs.”

Pinter did it early, forcing and recovering a fumble inside Marian’s 5.

“They had a good drive going, and they got down there and we knew the defense had to step up, we knew the offense was going to come through,” Pinter said.

“Our coaches told us we had to stop them and give the offense a chance.”

Shortly after that, Scott broke free for a 69-yard touchdown run. Just before halftime, the Hurricanes stopped the Shamrocks inside the 10 again. In the second half, defensive backs Anthony Caprile and Jared Churak each picked off passes from St. Patrick quarterback Anthony Mazzenga.

As time was winding down in the fourth quarter, defensive end Sam Limbaugh came up big on St. Patrick’s fourth-and-1 from Marian’s 45.

Limbaugh shot into the backfield and dropped running back Niko Childress for a 2-yard loss.

“I know they like to run that wham

play. They ran it six or seven times,” Limbaugh said. “I knew I had to beat the guard, and I was right with the play call and met No. 5 in the backfield and brought him down.”

Scott had career highs in carries and yards, while Brian Niemaszek added 13 carries for 99 yards. Scott constantly grinded out the tough yards, often going right up the middle.

“We’ve got warriors,” Maloney said.

“The supporting cast, the offensive line and ‘Niemo’s’ threat to the outside set all that stuff up, but for him to lower his shoulder and get those tough yards is a credit to his mindset and his leadership capacity.”

Scott deflected the credit.

“Our line was doing a really good job opening the holes, all I had to do was run through them,” Scott said.

Scott mentioned how the Hurricanes used close losses to Benet and Carmel as learning experiences. On Saturday, they finished the job and prolonged their season.

“It was really exhilarating. Our defense has been playing well all year,” Scott said. “It’s just great because our offense has been executing and doing what we do in practice in the game.”

Guilford shuts out Huntley for championship

By JOHN WILKINSON

wilkinson@shawmedia.com ROCKFORD – After each Guilford goal, Huntley boys soccer coach Kris Grabner kept imploring his players that there was plenty of time, the game was “far from over” if they fought for it.

He told a late substitute he knew they had two goals in them before sending him on.

Huntley threw everything forward over the final minutes, but as one chance after another fizzled, time ran out on the Red Raiders.

Guilford scored two second-half goals to sink Huntley’s season, beating the Red Raiders, 2-0, in the Class 3A Guilford Regional final. The Vikings advance to face Dundee-Crown on Tuesday in a Huntley Sectional semifinal.

“Even in the last minute, I didn’t feel like we were out of it,” Grabner said. “I felt like if we get a goal that we have time to get the ball back down to their end and maybe get a second and tie it. I just wanted them to keep working and fighting through it. You can’t stop in any situation, even 10 seconds left, let’s

Huntley wanted to take the kick quickly for a clearer look at goal, but once the referee stopped the clock, it became a situation of Aaron Ruffner shooting at 11 Guilford defenders packed across the goal line.

A first, blocked attempt was called back for encroachment by Guilford. On the second try, Ruffner smashed the kick off the crossbar.

“It’s one of those days where we have all those things go our way until the very end, which is the goal, and it just didn’t fall for us this time,” Huntley senior Zack Whitaker said.

Each team came close a couple of times in the first half, including Huntley’s Andrew Fulcer having a shot cleared off the line.

After the scoreless first 40 minutes, the Red Raiders really pressed to begin the second half. Within six minutes,

Ruffner got behind the defense but shot wide. Two minutes later, a Huntley header was saved off the line by a Guilford defender.

“We watched video of how they started off against Hononegah and we said we’re going to put them under right from the opening kick,” Grabner said. “Actually, we wanted them to have the kick in the first half because we wanted to set that tone at the beginning of the first half.

“I think that really showed the boys that you’re right in it, obviously it’s a 0-0 game, we can go forward and win the game. I thought that really set the tone for the energy we had.”

While Huntley kept the pressure on and came close to scoring, it was the hosts who found the opening goal.

Defensive miscommunication by Huntley left Ricardo Sarmiento in behind on an open goal, and he made it 1-0 in the 59th minute.

Then, in the 71st minute, Raul Pulido doubled the lead, finding space in the middle of the defense and finishing well past Huntley’s Michael Parks, who had kept the Red Raiders in the game with five saves.

Marian Central’s Ryan Jones (14:37) also advanced with a fifth-place finish.

STERLING – As has happened so often in the second half of the boys soccer season, Sterling started fast and never gave Crystal Lake Central a chance to come back.

Sterling (19-4) scored in the first five minutes for the second straight regional match, and pushed that lead to four goals by halftime in a 6-0 victory over the Tigers (11-8) in the championship of the Class 2A Sterling Regional on Saturday night at Roscoe Eades Stadium.

The Golden Warriors scored three times in the first 25 minutes and never let up the offensive pressure. Sterling outshot the Tigers 13-3 in the first half, and 23-6 for the match.

“They score early, then keep coming at you, and that’s understandable, and I don’t blame them one bit for doing that,” Central coach Mark Leverentz said. “It was an eye-opener for me as a first-year coach of this team, and it was an eye-opener for our young team. We have three

starting players who are freshmen, so I thought it was a good experience for us. Obviously, we’d all like to come out on the other end, but it was good that they got a taste of it for next year.”

Freshman Adrian Herrera scored in the match’s fifth minute, then junior Patrick Nelsen added goals at the 27:07 mark and 15:38 mark as the Warriors took complete control.

Central goalkeeper Drew Dayton, a junior, made seven saves, including two point-blank stops in the second half, and senior Spencer Byrnes came on for the final 15 minutes and made a save of his own.

“Drew played very well back there, and he kept the score from being ridiculous,” Leverentz said. “Spencer went in at the end; he’s a senior, and he’s put in the work, so I wanted to make sure he got rewarded with some time out there.”

fifth, Shelby Truckenbrod (20:26) was 16th, Grace Knudsen (21:12) took 31st and Morgan Litterer (21:12) finished 32nd.

Class 2A Sterling Regional: Marengo did not advance as a team. Hannah Secor (20:14) finished 23rd and advanced, as did Sarah Shefcik (20:50) in 32nd.

Class 1A Winnebago Regional: Richmond-Burton won the regional with 60 points, ahead of Harvest Christian Academy’s 75. Johnsburg finished fourth and also advanced. Harvard did not advance or qualify any individuals.

R-B’s Emma Langlois (17:18) finished fourth, Breanne Retherford (17:24) was fifth, Amy Frisch (17:29) was sixth, Gabby Ross (18:08) was 11th and Christiansen Kelsey (19:34) took 34th.

For Johnsburg, Sam Schmitt (17:46) finished eighth, Ashley Molidor (18:39) took 15th, Hannah Anderson (19:11) finished 23rd, Katelyn Davis (19:21) was 26th and Tess Grimes (19:26) was 28th.

Jensen (16:46) was 21st, Joseph DeVita (16:48) was 23rd and Lucas Janikowski (16:50) finished 28th.

Scorers for C-G were Alex Ratkovich (15:46) in fourth, Jack Adams (16:39) in 18th, Kyle Adams (16:44) in 20th, Derek Warren (16:49) in 27th and Nathan Kutok (17:00) in 35th.

BOYS SOCCER: CLASS 2A BURLINGTON CENTRAL REGIONAL

Harvard falls short

By TIM FROEHLIG

sports@nwherald.com WOODSTOCK – Stingy defense was the name of the game during Harvard’s 1-0 Class 2A Woodstock North Regional championship soccer loss against Belvidere late Saturday afternoon.

The Hornets managed just one shot on goal in 80 minutes, and were thwarted by a Bucs defense that routinely kept Harvard’s forwards to the outside.

Harvard (17-4-0), a No. 2 seed, defeated third-seeded Belvidere, 3-2, two weeks earlier. But a key adjustment made things a bit different this time.

“They really pressed their back line up more,” Harvard coach Victor Gonzalez said. “They were a lot more aggressive in that regard. We scouted them. I thought eventually we’d break through, but it never happened.”

Belvidere defender Jorge Nava scored the game’s only goal two minutes into the second half, thanks to a free kick from near the corner. His shot looped from right to left, then tipped off the fingertips of Harvard sophomore goalkeeper Hugo Escobar, then slowly rolled into the back corner of the net.

“I was trying to put it on net instead of just kicking it in front and hoping for something,” Nava said. “I figured if someone headed it in or redirected it, great. But I was aiming for the net, and it went in.”

It was Escobar’s only mistake, as he kept the Hornets in the game several times with key second-half saves. That included a brilliant stop from pointblank range during the 60th minute, when he deflected a shot that wound up hitting the crossbar. He made eight saves.

Belvidere had nine shots on goal, but that number would’ve been much larger if not for the effort of Juarez and teammate Sergio Albarran.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Hornets senior forward Alonzo Carrillo had a particularly effective game as a forward on the left side. He used his speed well, and narrowly missed beating Belvidere goalkeeper Edgar Gomez to a pair of loose balls in the corner in the second half.

Once they fell behind, the Hornets were guilty of trying to do too much, Gonzalez said.

“When Belvidere took the lead, we started playing too forward,” Gonzalez said. “By that, I mean we were trying to push the ball too much north and south, rather than playing possession ball more left-to-right like we prefer to do.”

Harvard will lose nine seniors to graduation, including four players (Alfredo Pichardo, Alonzo Carrillo, Sergio Albarran, Joel Juarez) who started Saturday.

“I’m gonna miss my teammates so much, and especially being able to come out and play on the same field as them like I have for the past three seasons,” Juarez said. “This team meant the world to me. It was an awesome experience I wish didn’t have to end.”

BURLINGTON – After losing the past two years in regional play to Burlington Central and Kaneland, Hampshire wanted this one badly.

“When we were about to get on the bus today, I pointed to the 2011 regional plaque and told the team it’s been too long,” Hampshire coach John Gosling said.

After surviving 100 hard-fought, scoreless minutes against Prairie Ridge on Saturday, the Whip-Purs are adding another plaque to the trophy case. Hampshire came through, 4-3, in penalty kicks and defeated a resilient Wolves team in the finals of the Class 2A Burlington Central Regional. The Whip-Purs advance to the semifinals of the St. Francis Sectional in Wheaton, where they will face Fenton at 6 p.m.

Tuesday.

Saturday’s match was typical of two teams that know each other. The Fox Valley Conference foes spent the first 20 minutes feeling each other out, looking for any miscue they could take advantage of. Sean Fenton of Prairie Ridge had multiple chances around the 30-minute mark of the first half, and Hampshire hit the crossbar around the 20-minute mark, but neither team had many offensive chances.

The second half was much of the same. The teams swapped scoring chances in the final 10 minutes of regulation and fed off a crowd that got more into the game as regulation came to a close.

After two scoreless 10-minute overtime periods, the regional championship would need to be decided by penalty kicks. Both teams scored on their first two attempts, with Prairie Ridge getting goals by William Keaty and Ryan Barbour, while Hampshire got goals from Tyler Fairwood and Nicholas Barrientos. In the third round, Hampshire keeper Jason Polletta stepped up.

“I guessed a side and was able to get the job done,”Polletta said. “It has been so long since we won a regional. I just

“We have scouted them a few times, and one of our assistant coaches teaches there, so I’m not sure if we can use that to our advantage.

One thing that we might struggle with is I heard St. Francis has a smaller turf field, which doesn’t really suit our style of play.” – Hampshire coach John Gosling on facing Fenton in next week’s St. Francis Sectional.

Polletta stopped two of the Wolves’ final three shots, and Jack Fairwood connected in the fifth round to seal the victory.

“We knew coming in that Prairie Ridge is a blue-collar team with a great work rate, and this would be a tough matchup,” Gosling said. “We always point to a regional title as one of our goals, and I’m just so happy we were able to get it done.”

Prairie Ridge put forth a great effort Saturday but just couldn’t come away with the victory.

“I thought our boys played well and gave a great effort today,” Wolves coach Colin Brice said. “We made a huge improvement from the start of the season to how we played at the end.”

On the flip side, Uhl’s goal was a boost for the Warriors (16-5-2) heading into the second half.

“The wind definitely played a factor in the second half against us,” McHenry coach Tony Caruso said. “We knew we had to get a goal with the wind because it would be much tougher to score playing against the wind. We were winning the 50/50 balls, and Connor was able to connect and give us that important lead.”

Northwestern wins 3rd straight QB Maddie The ASSOCIATED PRESS

EVANSTON – Indiana and Northwestern have the look of two Big Ten teams passing in midseason.

Quarterback Clayton Thorson threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns Saturday, and the resurgent Wildcats bolted to an early lead then coasted past the Hoosiers, 24-14, for their third straight victory.

In a reversal of its 1-3 start to the season, Northwestern (4-3, 3-1 Big Ten) took a 24-3 lead and wasn’t seriously threatened the rest of the way.

Meanwhile, Indiana (3-4, 1-3) dropped its third consecutive game after three victories in the first four starts.

Thorson became the first Northwestern quarterback since at least 2000 to throw three or more touchdown passes in three consecutive games. He completed 24 passes in 43 attempts and did not throw an interception.

Running back Justin Jackson led the Northwestern ground attack with 106 yards in 28 carries.

No. 3 Michigan 41, Illinois 8: At Ann Arbor, Michigan, Wilton Speight threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns in three quarters before watching Michigan finish off Illinois.

The Wolverines (7-0, 4-0) were leading, 34-0, in the fourth quarter when Jim Harbaugh put backup quarterback John O’Korn in the game and rested Speight.

The Fighting Illini (2-5, 1-3) were relegated to starting their third-string quarterback with a familiar name. Jeff George Jr., son of the former Illinois and NFL quarterback, was 4 of 15 for 95 yards with a TD, an interception and a fumble in his first start. The redshirt freshman played because Wes Lunt and Chayce Crouch are injured.

Northwestern receiver Austin Carr (right) celebrates with teammate Eric Olson after catching a touchdown pass during the first quarter against Indiana on Saturday in Evanston. Northwestern won, 24-14. for a touchdown with 4:27 left, and Penn State upset Ohio State for the Nittany Lions’ biggest victory in the post-Joe Paterno era.

Penn State (5-2, 3-1) took its first lead when Marcus Allen leaped high to block Tyler Durbin’s 45-yard attempt and Haley made the scoop and sprint to the end zone. The white-out crowd of 107,280 at Beaver Stadium went nuts and Penn State’s defense closed out the Nittany Lions’ first victory over Ohio State since 2011 with two sacks of J.T. Barrett.

The Buckeyes (6-1, 4-1) had their 20game road winning streak snapped, and the Big Ten East race that looked like an inevitable march toward an Ohio State-Michigan showdown on Nov. 26 just took a detour.

No. 10 Wisconsin 17, Iowa 9: At Iowa City, Iowa, Corey Clement ran for 134 yards and a touchdown and Wisconsin snapped a two-game skid.

Alex Hornibrook passes for 197 yards to help the Badgers (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten) win for the fourth straight time in Iowa City.

Backup Bart Houston threw a touchdown pass, and Clement’s 1-yard run put the Badgers ahead 14-6 midway

through the third quarter.

The Badgers allowed only 236 yards on 60 plays and held the Hawkeyes (5-3, 3-2) without a touchdown for the first time all season.

C.J. Beathard had 153 yards passing for Iowa. The Hawkeyes have lost three straight at home.

Minnesota 34, Rutgers 32: At Minneapolis, Emmitt Carpenter connected for a 28-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining, and Minnesota survived for a victory against Rutgers (2-6, 0-5).

The Gophers scored touchdowns on their first three possessions for a 21-0 lead against Rutgers, which entered the game allowing the most points per game and second-most yards per game in Big Ten play.

Rodney Smith had a 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and ran for 111 yards and a touchdown for the Gophers (5-2, 2-2). Mitch Leidner returned after missing one game with a concussion and was 11-of-18 passing for 156 yards and an interception.

No. 8 Nebraska 27, Purdue 14: At Lincoln, Nebraska, Tommy Armstrong Jr. accounted for 303 yards of total offense and two touchdowns, and Nebraska came back from a four-point halftime deficit to defeat Purdue (3-4, 1-3).

The Cornhuskers (7-0, 4-0) probably didn’t convince the skeptics who say they aren’t worthy of a top-10 ranking, but they’ll head to Wisconsin next week with their best record since 2001.

Maryland 28, Michigan St. 17: At College Park, Maryland, Perry Hills threw a pair of touchdown passes in his return to the lineup, and Maryland kept Michigan State (2-5, 0-4) winless in the Big Ten. Maryland (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten) also extended the Spartans’ losing streak to five games, the longest skid under 10-year coach Mark Dantonio.

Ty Johnson led Maryland’s dominant running attack with 115 yards on nine carries.

lifts Huskies with 5 TDs

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois finally got back to winning a football game at home.

Aregeros Turner returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, the NIU defense had four interceptions, and the Huskies got a much-needed 44-7 homecoming win over Buffalo on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

It snapped a four-game home losing streak at Huskie Stadium, dating to last season. NIU had a 28-game home winning streak at Huskie Stadium from 2009 to ’14.

The win also kept hopes for a bowl game alive for the Huskies (2-6 overall, 2-2 Mid-American Conference West).

The Bulls are 0-9 against NIU since joining the MAC in 1999.

NIU dual-threat quarterback Anthony Maddie bounced back with a big day on the ground, rushing 15 times for 125 yards and four touchdowns. He also was 16 for 29 with 199 passing yards and a touchdown against a Bulls defense that was No. 1 in the MAC and fourth in the nation in pass defense (148.2 yards a game) coming into Saturday.

Turner, who is the reigning MAC Special Teams Player of the Year, provided the early fireworks. He took the opening kickoff 97 yards for a score for the third kick return touchdown of his career.

SPORTS BRIEF

CHICAGO – Jonathan Toews and Artemi Panarin scored in the shootout to give the Blackhawks a 5-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night after the Hawks came back with two late goals to force overtime.

Artem Anisimov scored his second goal of the game on a rebound with 2:28 left to cut it to 4-3, then Richard Panik knocked in a loose puck in front of the goal 60 seconds later.

Anisimov connected as Blackhawks goalie Scott Darling was heading to the bench for an extra attacker. Darling was on the bench when Panik tied it.

Toronto rookie William Nylander scored twice for his first multigoal game, with his second goal putting the Maple Leafs ahead 4-2 early in the third. But Toronto blew a lead in the final period for the third straight game and failed again to win at Chicago for the first time since February 2003.

Another case of election-acid reflux The nice thing about a national election is that our nation’s hatred will be sliced in half the instant it’s over.

Oh, if your candidate loses, you’ll still be a hater. You’ll grind your teeth and spend the next four years saying of every bad event, “See, this would never have happened if enough Americans were as angry as I am and had used that anger to vote the right way.”

But half of Americans will breathe a sigh of relief once the election is over and the object of their hatred has been tossed on the ash heap of soon-to-be-forgotten history. Whenever any bad event occurs over the next four years, they will sigh: “Well, it would have been a lot worse if that other guy [or girl] had won.”

Those Americans will be relieved finally of their rancor. They will shake their head at the boiling hatred of all those losers who just won’t let it go, and they will forget how much anger and hatred their own heart held before the election.

But has there ever been an election as angry as this one?

Six years ago, in the 2010 midterm elections, Democrats suffered massive defeats in national and state elections.

Republicans gained 63 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, recapturing the majority. Similar changes rocked the U.S. Senate, as well as state legislatures and governorships.

And the changes were fueled by hatred and anger.

On Nov. 3 of that year, the day after the election, I wrote a column titled: “And the winner is – furious hypertension!”

In that column, I mentioned a Chicago Tribune front-page article published just a couple of days before the election that urged voters: “Let your fury rise and your blood pressure build.”

In response to that battle cry, I wrote in my column: I guess that’s the way the world works these days, isn’t it? Something isn’t right? Let your fury rise and your blood pressure build!

That steak you ordered medium-rare

came to the table medium? Let your fury rise and your blood pressure build!

Your kid left his crayons and coloring book on the floor again? Let your fury rise and your blood pressure build!

Traffic is a bit heavy on the expressway and the guy in front of you is slowing down to send a text message? Let your fury rise and your blood pressure build!

The only problem is fury and hypertension are rarely a good recipe for correcting a problem.

In fact, I can’t think of a single problem that can best be solved with a flash of fury and a skyrocketing blood pressure. A meeting with the boss about getting a raise? A chat with the wife about those credit card bills? A conversation with a neighbor about that yapping dog on his side of the fence?

Necessary discussions, all. But introduce rising fury and building blood pressure, and there’s a good chance you’ll end up further behind than you were before you started.

We have plenty of reasons to be frustrated with our politicians – and with our kids, traffic, steaks, salaries, bills and neighbors. But it seems to me the best way to deal with them all is to stay as far away from fury as possible.

I went on in my column to decry the 2010 political ads that focused not on which candidate to vote for, but which one to vote against. The ads on both sides were, I said: “about as cooling as a spray of gasoline over a grease fire. They rarely spoke of solutions – only the problems the other guy would cause if we voted for him, problems that were certain to fan our fury and raise our blood pressure.”

Sound familiar?

The angriest ads in 2010 implied anybody or anything – even a dog, goat or chicken– would be better than that other guy. It was time for a change to … well, to anything but this.

Some candidates in that election urged voters to “let your fury rise and your blood pressure build,” because blind anger always will trump the calm logic that may show a fury-peddling candidate’s platform is built on shifting

sand.

And in that 2010 midterm election, the angriest ads won the day. Establishment incumbents were swept from office by the dozens – the largest congressional seat change in a midterm since 1938.

The day after that election, I wrote: And so now it’s over. The people have spoken. In some cases, they have spoken with foam-flecked lips, bulging veins and blood-engorged faces, but they have spoken.

And so, decisions have been made, for better or for worse. We will have to wait to see if those decisions were good or bad. Calm, rational individuals usually make good decisions. Angry mobs rarely do.

All across the country, anger-mongers on both sides of the fence have surfed to victory on waves of our wrath. If you voted with fanned fury and boiling blood pressure and your guy won, then you probably have a smile of satisfaction on your face today.

Enjoy it. Because once these newly elected dogs, goats and chickens have been in office for two years, I have a hunch we’ll have plenty of reasons to feel fury and high blood pressure.

Maybe then we will learn to vote with calm logic.

But I doubt it.

Well, six years have gone by since 2010 with those “change” candidates in office, put there by votes fueled by anger and outrage in the belief we would be happier with Congress in 2016 than we were in 2010.

And how has that angry vote worked out for us? Is Congress more likable today than it was in 2010? Are we having fun yet?

A new election is upon us. It’s time for us to make another choice.

And maybe it’s time for us to choose something other than anger to be our guiding light.

EnvironmentTip Vote for healthier world

One of the most important things you can do if you want a healthy natural world is to get out and vote for candidates who have strong environmental values and who will act on those values.

To accomplish the large goals of affecting change when it comes to industrial pollution, preservation of open space, keeping our waterways clear and clean, reducing the impact of fossil fuels, promoting clean energy and so forth, it can’t be done with-

out political will and strength. Seek out organizations such as the Sierra Club that endorse candidates with strong environmental records and values. For local races, have discussions with individuals involved in local politics, research voting records

and ask the candidates about their positions. Finally, share your opinion to support the issues and each other, and cast an informed vote in every election.

Companies aim to be more inclusive ahead of holiday shopping season

Remembering Halloween in simpler times Listening to my kids describe putting their Halloween costumes together in detail was always sort of a Year in Review pop culture pop quiz for me.

If I knew what they were talking about and could keep up by making a reasonably intelligent character comment, I stayed the cool dad and naturally, did not age that year. Just when I thought I had the Ninja Turtles weapons and colors figured out, Star Wars crept in with re-numbering of the sequels, prequels and a whole new set of heroes. So, as I always do when apps and Facebooking and trends start to overwhelm me, I let my mind wander to simpler times.

Kids started the Halloween season in early October with the yearly “How-big-a-pumpkin-can-dadcarry-before-he-gets-a-hernia” contest. Then, onto carving. And not with some stunted, dull serrated, orange handled, child proof “pumpkin designing tool,” but with the largest butcher knife you could find. With it – the most terrifying of jack o’ lanterns was created. Your mother would cook 10,000 pumpkin seeds. You would eat three. There was a reason there have never been pumpkin seed commercials.

You planned your costume all year and stayed on your parents to make the purchase early in the season, otherwise you ended up with one of the homemade Big Three: Ghost, Princess or Hobo.

Not that the costumes back then were all that extravagant, but at least you could get a plastic mask that kind of looked like Superman or Batman.

You had to use your imagination, because in reality, all the masks looked the same. You were lucky if you could get one eye to see out of the one-size-fitsall crooked eyeholes. The first thing you did when you got the costume was pull out the mask, try it on and turn to scare your little brother. When you did, the rubber band (the girth and strength of angel hair pasta) instantly broke. Your mother stretched the remaining rubber band and re-stapled it to the side of the mask. You went the rest of the night with your nose pushed to the left and the sharp plastic form fitted to your face.

The mask came with a neck-to-toe fabric that had

“Real trick-or-treating did not start until it was dark. Not only was it scarier and felt like a true night of macabre, but darkness added the delightful randomness of tripping over unseen lawn ornaments.” emblazoned on the chest a superhero logo. You wore it over your clothes and coat, because it had all the heft of a negligee.

Real trick-or-treating did not start until it was dark. Not only was it scarier and felt like a true night of macabre, but darkness added the delightful randomness of tripping over unseen lawn ornaments.

We would run like a band of sugar-deprived fiends from house to house jockeying for position to ring the doorbell – as many times as possible.

When you fell down, all of the contents of your plastic pumpkin (with the giant hole at the top somehow bigger than the diameter) spilled on a neighbor’s lawn. Ghost-, goblin- and witch-clad youngsters stomped your prone body and picked over your take on their savage race to the next house. Darwinism at its finest. No coddling back then, either. As you surveyed your bruised ego, your parents would yell from the sidewalk, “Hurry up! You’re missing out on candy!”

But, it was all worth it, for that very reason: candy. More important than nutrition, candy represented independence. No longer did you have to rely on a grown-up for a meal. And with enough candy, you could barter yourself a car, some new clothes – even a cool bachelor pad to entice that cute girl with the pigtails who sat two rows over (as she was now thoroughly impressed with your ability to provide).

Yes sir, you were riding high with your over-abundance of chocolate gold. Milky Ways, Reese’s, Snickers. M&M’s in both pockets. You said “please” to no man.

NOVEMBER

Didn’t do your homework? No dessert for you?

No problem.

Hidden under your pillow – your stash of strawberry Laffy Taffy.

Hit your sister in the eye with a lawn dart? Go to your room?

Sure. Why not? You had 16 Sugar Daddies in your sock drawer.

Then, as if overnight, December hit, and you found your stash reduced to Lemonheads, Sweet Tarts and the dreaded Bit o’ Honeys.

Adults had regained the political power. You were no longer your own thriving nation, but instead a pathetic city-state dependent once again upon your parents for food, shelter and rides to the mall.

And the cute girl with the pigtails who sat two rows over stopped answering your “Do you like me?

– yes or no – Circle one” notes – she having moved on to the freckle-faced geek who expertly had read the market and parlayed his Almond Joy collection into mid-town real estate and a place in the Hamptons.

Your parents were relentless with the reinstated rules of the former regime. Curfews. Bedtimes.

Teeth brushing. And – as a reminder against any future uprisings – chores.

Could it get any worse – now a soulless conformist beholden to the Man? You made plans to run away, just as soon as it got warmer outside and “Happy Days” went into reruns. But like all lessons learned, you found you could live comfortably within the current administration and got yourself in line.

Parents have a way of outlasting their kids’ rebellions. After all, they were tween rebels once themselves.

NORTHWEST HERALD The truth about the real Alexander Hamilton, why he was the most important founding father after George Washington and why the hit Broadway show is making such a man so popular will be addressed in a new presentation at McHenry County College.

MCC history instructor Sarah Sullivan will share a riveting tale of Hamilton’s life in the educational presentation “Hamilton – the Man Behind the Musical” from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 27 in the Luecht Conference Center in Building B at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

Hamilton was born illegitimate and poor in the West Indies, and died as one of the most significant players of the U.S. Revolutionary movement.

Sullivan will trace his steps from the West Indies to become George Washington’s most trusted confidant, moving into his role as the first Treasury secretary, and finally, to his death in a duel with Aaron Burr.

“We will look at the myth and the man, including his sex scandals,” Sullivan said. “This presentation is a

Ringwood church volunteers crochet plastic bags into mats for homeless

By LINDSAY WEBER F editorial@nwherald.com

cHenry resident Sue Jette is proud to call herself a bag lady. Jette, along with eight other volunteers from Ringwood United Methodist Church, have formed an initiative to make sleeping mats from plastic grocery bags for the homeless.

Jette was perusing Facebook and came across another church group that was making the mats and decided to start making them with her daughter. At a single breakfast at Brunch Café in McHenry, Jette was able to rally some of the other women parishioners and unknowingly pique the interest of the McHenry Police Department.

“I was sharing the information with the other ladies, and I noticed as we continued to talk about it, there was a man sitting at the next table continually looking over. Well I finally got up and walked over to see what he might want, and it so happened that it was Commander [Tom] Walsh from the McHenry Police Department,” Jette said.

And just like that, The Bag Ladies were born.

The group now meets every Tuesday to crochet the 5-by-7-foot mats for distribution by the McHenry Police Department and other McHenry Country precincts.

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

The group has been able to complete 16 mats in the weeks since it began. About 400 to 500 grocery bags are needed to complete a single 2-inch-thick mat. The group has had luck with community resident donations and personal gathering to get the needed amount.

“The mats are very soft, like a yoga mat,” Jette said. “It gives those in need a soft, dry place to lay down and keeps their blankets from getting wet. It’s nice to get together each week to make them and have a little lady chat time.”

Cmdr. Walsh said the mats were a great fit to meet a specific need of homeless people in the area.

“There are many people in the area in need, and this is a very unusual program,” Walsh said. “I had never seen one of these mats before. It fills a void for these people. We take bedding for granted.

Some people don’t have a nice dry place to lay down. This isn’t something they can buy at a store.

It’s uncommon that a community group would step up and fill such a unique need, and I know that those that receive them will be grateful.”

Walsh said with the winter months approaching, such items as well as access to PADS shelters, appropriate clothing and other resources will be crucial.

Those interested in donating plastic bags for the group can call Ringwood United Methodist Church at 815-653-6956 for dropoff information.

We can do better with drug abuse prevention and the early returns are promising.

The idea is to identify the at-risk kids in early middle school, when most have yet to use drugs. Their research indicated four factors that put kids at the most risk: sensation seeking, impulsiveness, anxiety sensitivity and hopelessness.

Their first step is to put teachers through an intensive training that helps them to identify and more successfully deal with those particular problems in the classroom. The idea is to head off the worst of the personality problems that can “prevent people with outlying personalities from becoming entrenched in disordered thinking that can lead to a diagnosis, or, in the case of sensation seeking, to dangerous behavior.”

at the beginning of the year, and those with extreme scores are offered “success workshops” later in the year that target the most troublesome trait. Labeling is minimized, avoiding direct references to “high risk” or a diagnosis that easily can turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The workshops give kids behavioral tools to manage specific behavioral and emotional problems.

In a 2013 study, the program, “cut drinking in selected schools by 29 percent, even among those who didn’t attend workshops. ... Among the high-risk kids who did attend, binge drinking fell by 43 percent.”

dent; and high-risk students better managing causal issues, successful outcomes can be attained.

The good news is there are new ways to approach drug abuse prevention that work, but the difficulty is expending the time, energy and money it would take to make a change.

With kids’ lives at stake, I would be in favor of taking a hard look at what we’re currently doing in the drug abuse prevention area to see if we can do better.

® Ladies Day Every November for the last 34 years, on a usually brisk and sometimes snowy day, a line of giddy women forms outside of our By Karly Bulinski doors. Waiting in anticipation to see what our annual Ladies Day party is going to have in store for them, they excitedly chit chat with each other while sipping on delicious cups of hot cocoa and posing for adorable photos with our photographer. While they are eagerly waiting outside, the staff is hastily perfecting all of the final touches of the event to make sure it’s even better than the year before! The DJ prepares the entrance song, the one that all of the staff dances to, mimosa’s are being made and staff members adjust their tiaras to fit on their heads just right. It’s Ladies Day… the biggest celebration of the year for our marvelous customers!

Having worked out on the sales floor during this event for the last several years, I can say from experience that the excitement inside the store is just as great as the excitement outside. Once the doors finally open and the ladies flood inside, along with them comes a great rush of anticipation and excitement. Who will win the diamond in the cupcake? What will the raffle prizes be? What stunning new pieces of jewelry will I choose to put on my wish Karly Bulinski card this year? The enthusiasm of the crowd is just exhilarating!

Graduate Gemologist One of the main purposes of this event, in addition to celebrating Email jewelry questions to: our remarkable customers, is to raise awareness and funds for suzanne@steffansjewelers.com the Pioneer Center. Synonymous with Ladies Day, the mystery or karly@steffansjewelers.com boxes benefitting Pioneer Center are one of the most sought after commodities of the day. Ranging from coupons to jewelry to a pendant valued at $1,000, nobody walks away empty handed after buying a purse load of mystery boxes! And the best part…all of the money that is raised from the sale of the mystery boxes is donated to the Pioneer Center.

This event is one that should not be missed! Whether you are a seasoned attendee or new this year, the staff at Steffan’s looks WWW.STEFFANSJEWELERS.COM forward to seeing you!

Over the years, we have put a lot of energy into drug abuse prevention, and it sure doesn’t seem like there’s been a good return on investment.

Programs such as Operation Snowball and D.A.R.E have tried to make a difference, but I don’t think the statistics support a successful outcome. I do, however, agree we need to do something. Drug education (better informed drug users?), “Just say NO,” or “scared straight” tactics just haven’t worked. My feeling is if we don’t get to causes and conditions with at-risk kids, we’ll miss the mark. So who are the at-risk kids?

I read an intriguing article in the New York Times about a program being tested in Great Britain, Australia and Canada called Preventure,

Author Spotlight

KIMBERLEY SCHUMACHER

Hometown: Crystal Lake Latest Book: “My Letters to Amy: A Search for Generational Healing” Publisher: WestBow Press Release Date: Sept. 1, 2016 Available: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and http://bookstore.westbowpress.com/ products What’s your new book about?

When Amy comes of age and is confronted with a past she knows nothing about, she reaches out to her half-sister Katherine, 20 years her senior.

Born a generation apart, the two women share a father, a heritage and a story. Together, they struggle to unravel past pain and share the gift of connection.

It is a fictionalized tale that explores healing in family relationships through the five pillars of strength: humility, respect, understanding, grace and acceptance.

Where did the idea come from?

The idea came out of my own experiences and hopes.

Every family has a story. People want to know where they came from. People want to find hope for redemption. People want happy relationships for their children. “My Letters to Amy” tells the story of a family gone terribly wrong, it’s healing journey and provides hope for a good and prosperous future.

What genre is your book, and why were you drawn to it?

“My Letters to Amy” is a work of didactic fiction.

So, at the end of each of the chapters, there is a reflection and a challenge eliciting response from the reader. I wanted to bring the story home and encourage readers to explore how they approach their own relationships.

Fiction, or storytelling, makes for an easy read, and I wanted my story to be meaningful.

Who is the intended audience?

The intended audience is anyone with interest in families. This includes parents, step parents, adult children and anyone who might have experienced difficult family relationships.

My hope is readers take away that broken relationships are not our story’s end. If we can learn to use the five pillars of strength, we can be empowered to drop the rocks (or forgive the heavy and hurtful parts of life) and then, we are free to share the gift of relationship.

Why is this story important to you?

It is my story ... the details have been massaged with creative license, but I own many of the experiences. My desire has always been to make life better for my children, their children and the people I

interact with. Hopefully, this story will do that for others who grew up hurting or give perspective to people who were fortunate enough not to.

How long did it take you to write? What was your process?

This was a lifetime project. It began with my journals in high school, then about 15 years ago I revisited writing as a way to think through challenges I was facing. Five years ago, I started writing “letters” that could be left behind as a legacy, hopefully to explain some hurts and guide forgiveness and healing. Three years ago, I added “glimpses into the past” between the “letters,” and the story came to be known to me as the project “My Letters to Amy.” So, you see, it really is a search for generational healing.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book? What was the hardest part?

The reviews and support from friends are what I enjoyed most. I asked a few people to walk beside me when I got serious about publishing. They are acknowledged in the beginning of the book. Their help in guiding me, keeping me honest to my purpose and encouraging me along the way was priceless.

The hardest part was revisiting hard moments of my past and recrafting memories into fictions that could carry the same lessons.

How are you publishing this book and why (traditional/indie/self-publishing)?

I chose to publish independently with the support and strength of a traditional publisher.

WestBow Press is a supported self-publishing alliance between HarperCollins Christian Publishing and Author Solutions, LLC. Titles published through WestBow Press are evaluated for sales potential and considered for publication through Thomas Nelson and Zondervan.

With WestBow, I received guidance through the process, publishing and public relations support, but still was able to tell the story my way.

What is your education/background?

I graduated high school in 3½ years, and went on to supplement my knowledge with college courses as needed or as my interest in a specific topic grew.

Professionally, I have worked as an accountant, a salesperson, a trainer, a marketer and a communicator. Privately, I am a dreamer, a philosopher and a lay-study of human nature. I really enjoy studying personalities, communications and human relationships. I want to truly understand people.

Who are your favorite authors?

CS Lewis, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Eldredge and Orrin Woodward. They write about the real human spirit as they search for truth. C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy all have a searching quality to their storytelling. It is captivating.

Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

Neither Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

Maybe Stephen King, searching, philosophical, (“The Stand”) Pick one: Ebooks or hard/paperbacks?

Hard cover. I need the paper, the cover, and the full experience. I guess that I am what they call me an “old soul.”

Have you written anything else?

“Agapetoi: Blessings of Friendship,” a devotional journal that still is in development, and a few feature articles for local publications.

What’s next for you?

I need to complete “Agapatoi,” then I’m on to exploring the development of a project I call “Your Search.” It would be a workbook that could guide people in a search for their own generational healing.

Also, I like to do invitational presentations that I call “Yesterdays Tomorrows.” I guide audiences through some of Katherine and Amy’s story, plot the family history, and challenge people to do the same with their family’s story so they can see their own culture, history and beliefs. It’s really fun.
