Pondering the lifespan, history of compact -fluorescent light bulbs A number of years ago, light bulbs changed, and the promises associated with the new ones were great.

The incandescent light bulb we grew up with, that Thomas Edison invented, was on the way out. It used too much energy, it didn’t last that long and it was hot to the touch. And I was all for a light bulb that used less energy, lasted a long time and was cool to the touch. What’s not to like?

They were more expensive at the outlay, but they saved you money over time because they used so much less electricity and lasted so much longer.

And by so much longer, I mean years. I can’t remember when the switch was made, but it wasn’t that many years ago. These bulbs were advertised to last an incredible amount of time – something like seven years. How could you go wrong?

I didn’t believe them. But how do you prove them wrong and get your money back?

I’ll grant that the most common new light bulb – the compact fluorescent light – lasts longer than the traditional incandescent bulb. The incandescent bulb lasts about 750 hours versus 10,000 hours for the compact fluorescent bulb.

And using a light an average of four hours a day, 10,000 hours works out close to seven years compared to a half-year for an incandescent bulb.

When I bought my first compact fluorescent bulb – it came with the weird twisty-type fixture – I saved my receipt, not expecting it to last that long before I would take it back for a refund or a replacement. But the bulb lasted longer than my filing method – nonexistent – for light bulb receipts. The bulb simply didn’t last seven years.

Compact fluorescent lights have some drawbacks that incandescents don’t. Compacts don’t like cold weather, so using one in the garage door opener will reduce the number of hours the bulb will burn. And they don’t like vibration, and if garage door openers do anything, they vibrate like mad. Right now, the compact bulb is burned out in the garage door opener, and I need to replace it. I’m not sure how long it lasted, but it was nowhere near seven years – probably something less than a year.

And if you have lighted ceiling fans in your house or apartment, just the vibration from the fan spinning around can reduce the life of the compact bulbs. They don’t explain that on the box when they say they last up to 10,000 hours.

But how do you explain the short life of compact fluorescent lights in standard lamps

VIEWS Dick Peterson – no vibration, no cold, just the flip of a switch to turn it on? And nothing happens – well, well short of 10,000 hours.

And compacts aren’t bursts of light. They take time to warm up. We have a couple compacts that take a full second before they do anything when you turn them on. When you come to expect light instantly and you get nothing for a second, you hold your breath and notice it. Is this the time the compact won’t light at all? And it can take them a half-minute to warm up and produce the full amount of light. I am a patient person, but the compacts try my patience.

It’s like in the cartoons when someone suddenly has an idea, the cartoonist often depicts it with a light bulb going off, fully bright.

Now, with compacts, that image is diminished because it takes at least 30 seconds for the bulb to warm up. Now, that image of a bulb is more like having a word on the tip of your tongue but you can’t get it out. It takes time before you find the right word. Kind of like the compact fluorescent light.

And trying to figure out how much light – lumens – a compact bulb puts out is impossible to remember. It’s worse than converting something from metrics. If you want a 100-watt bulb, you need to buy a compact in the range of 23 to 30 watts. If you’re looking for dim lighting, 40 watts incandescent, you need 9 to 13 watts compact. They put the comparisons on the package, but the day will come when manufacturers will decide that we’ve had enough years to catch on, and they will expect us to know that 23 compact watts equals 100 incandescent watts.

This is all being done to reduce energy consumption, thereby reducing greenhouse gases that power plants generate, thus saving the world. I’m all for saving the world, and I suppose it has to continue wherever the fight can be fought, including the simple but omnipresent light bulb. We’ll get used to it eventually, I suppose, but it’s been years, and I’m still working on it.

Bull Valley resident, 97-year-old dad relish Cubs’ World Series win

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com BULL VALLEY – Tom Carroll and his father, Robert Carroll, have waited a combined 150 years for the Cubs to win the World Series.

After watching Wednesday night’s 8-7 extra-inning victory against the Cleveland Indians side by side in their Bull Valley home, the wait was over. “[Wednesday night] was a whole bunch of emotions wrapped into one, from worry, anxiousness, to hopefulness, cautious optimism, despair, worry, despair and then jubilation,” Tom Carroll said. “It’s amazing how many different emotions you can feel in an hour period watching a game.”

The 53-year-old grew up in Dubuque, Iowa, and learned to love the Cubs while watching WGN. Almost every summer, he and his family would take a trip to

Chicago to catch at least one or two games at Wrigley Field.

His father, 97-year-old Robert Carroll, is no stranger to Cubs World Series appearances. He was on leave from World War II when he attended the last one in 1945. Growing up, Robert Carroll loved former Cubs catcher Gabby Hartnett and outfielder Kiki Cuyler. Now, he roots for Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant, who he said “seems like a very nice young man.”

Tom Carroll took his father and brother, Jim Carroll, to Game 3 on Oct. 28 – the first World Series game at Wrigley Field in 71 years.

Although the Cubs lost that game, Robert Carroll can now add seeing a World Series championship season to his list. “[My dad] was much more calm about it than I was,” Tom Carroll said, laughing. “He was into the game. He was excited about it – as excited as a 97-year-old

can get.”

Tom Carroll said they even shared a celebratory drink together after the Game 7 win.

“We had a little Bailey’s. That’s [my dad’s] drink of choice at the late hour,” he said.

Since the win, Tom Carroll said his father has spent much of his time at the kitchen table reading the local newspapers. Eventually, the two will sit down and rewatch the recorded game and relish the action and excitement one more time.

Tom Carroll said being able to watch the game with his father, his children and his wife was a memory he will savor for the rest of his life.

“The fact that they won not only during my lifetime, but his lifetime. He’s waited 97 years for this; I only waited 53, so I’m kind of a youngster comparatively,” he said.

12% Bulls The Carr-Harrison Cemetery, on Barnard Mill Road in Ringwood, was established about 1839 and holds seven generations of the Harrison family buried on one side, while Carr family members are buried on the other side. For the pioneers who traveled west to McHenry County from the Atlantic Coast states, survival was rough going, and livelihoods were, by necessity, more primitive and simple. Burying the dead was different because there were not the dedicated burial sites to which many pioneers were accustomed back East. Many family members were buried in family plots. The first burial here took place in 1847. In 1860, a Carr married a Harrison and the families became eternally united. Whether a family plot, a burying ground or full-fledged cemetery, please respect these honored spaces. +++++++ Join veteran quilter and quilt collector Barbara Peterson at 1:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, 6422 Main St., Union.

Billboard advertising gentlemen’s club near Algonquin causes concern

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – A billboard advertising a “full nude show club” just outside village limits is causing concern for Algonquin Village President John Schmitt.

Schmitt said the sign went up a few weeks ago on Algonquin Road between the bike path bridge and Pyott Road, and promotes the Blackjacks Gentlemen’s Club in South Elgin.

The billboard features a picture of a woman, and reads “In the mood for nude?”

“I find it offensive and unacceptable for a community that prides itself on

quality,” Schmitt said.

There is only one billboard in village limits, at Route 25 and Route 62, Schmitt said.

“We don’t allow them; we don’t want them because of this type of inappropriate signage that can be put out there,” he said.

Schmitt said he and other representatives from surrounding villages have previously asked the county, which had jurisdiction over the non-electronic Blackjacks sign, for a say in signs that go up near village limits.

In March, the McHenry County Board approved its first request to erect an electronic billboard since approving new and tougher regulations. The bill-

board was placed just outside Algonquin village limits and is bordered by unincorporated homes.

The governments of both Algonquin and Crystal Lake opposed granting the permit.

The County Board’s approval of its new Unified Development Ordinance in October 2014 ended a two-year moratorium on the placing of electronic billboards, which was enacted at the request of those municipalities, along with Lake in the Hills and Lakewood.

Municipal officials asked for the ban as the county updated and overhauled its development-related ordinances.

Need a New Library?

On November 8, Crystal Lake voters will decide whether to raise property taxes to build a new, $30 million library. Here are some facts to consider before making your decision – facts the library didn’t tell you in their mailing.

1. Library usage is in long-term decline, down 20% in just 3 years.

According to the library’s own statistics, circulation declined in each of the last three years, down 20% in total. Daily foot traffic has been declining for six years and is down 24% since 2010. Why build a new library TWICE THE SIZE of the existing library if usage is going down? Will YOU borrow twice as many books if they double the size of the library?

In fiscal 2015, the Crystal Lake Library spent $5.7 million serving Crystal Lake’s 14,400 families. That’s $396 per family. The new bond issue will increase that cost to $530 per family. In fiscal 2015, the Woodstock Library cost $157 per family and the Cary Library cost $176 per family. The Crystal Lake Library has more employees than the Cary and Woodstock libraries combined.

3. It will cost taxpayers $10.00 for the library to circulate one item.

If the bond issue passes, the taxpayers will soon be paying $10.00 for every item the Library lends. You can BUY most used books for less than what the Crystal Lake Library will charge taxpayers to LEND the same book just ONCE!

4. The Crystal Lake Library has become a taxpayer subsidized video store.

Last year the library loaned 436,000 books. It also loaned 305,000 DVDs and video games, a 60/40 ratio. Soon it could lend more DVDs than books! Yet while RedBox charges $1.50 for a DVD, the taxpayers will pay $10.00 for the library to lend the same DVD. If the bond issue passes, DVDs share of the library’s budget will be $199 per family per year; NetFlix costs $120 per year.

5. The construction cost is four times what private business pays.

The new library has a construction budget of $400 per square foot. Commercial space in Crystal Lake, like the Barnes & Noble, costs about $100 per square foot to build.

6. The Library Board threatens to spend $9 million for “repairs” if the bond issue fails.

If the bond issue doesn’t pass, the Library Board, which is appointed by the City Council, threatens to spend $9 million to “repair” the existing library. That’s more than $200 per square foot for “repairs” while, as noted above, brand new space costs about $100 per square foot to build. Would you spend $400,000 to “repair” your $200,000 house?

Consider ALL the facts before you go to the polls on Election Day. This message paid for by the McHenry County Good Government Association, a nonpartisan organization dedicated to providing independent oversight of local governments, to educating the public about important public policy issues, and to finding and developing good candidates for public office.

Algonquin Village President John Schmitt has expressed concern about a billboard on Algonquin Road between the bike path bridge and Pyott Road near Algonquin advertising a gentlemen’s club.

• BILLBOARD

Continued from page A6 They made the request out of frustration after the county received a surge of requests by sign companies that sought to erect large video billboards at the time to take advantage of looser regulations for unincorporated land.

Schmitt said many residents have been making comments about the Blackjacks sign on the village’s Facebook page, where he issued a statement explaining that the sign is not in village limits. He said he wants residents to know the village is doing whatever it can to try to remove the billboard.

“I do think that the county should make an effort to get rid of this type of thing,” Schmitt said.

McHenry County Planning and Development Director Dennis Sandquist said he has received complaints about the billboard near Algonquin and another one from the same business on Route 31 in Crystal Lake.

“We don’t determine what goes on a sign in any way,” Sandquist said. “We permit signs as physical structure, and we regulate them on their size and structure.”

If someone did cite a billboard as being obscene, it would have to be prosecuted through the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office, he said.

Norm Vinton, chief of the civil division with the State’s Attorney’s Office, said he has received six calls from people complaining about the billboards.

“Although we think it is distasteful and in poor taste, we don’t think it rises to the level of obscene,” Vinton said.

Shepherd of the Prairie Lutheran Church plans expansion in Huntley Plan would more than double the building size

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Shepherd of the Prairie Lutheran Church in Huntley is looking to more than double the size of its building.

The church, 10805 Main St., was built in 2009 with plans for future additions. The new space would be about 26,500 square feet, according to conceptual plans presented Thursday night to the Huntley Village Board.

“Right now our space is really a multipurpose room,” church Pastor Mark Boster said. “And what we’re building right now is a real sanctuary that’s designed for worshipping and people, so that’ll be great.”

Boster said the church has about 1,200 members.

The addition would include a 351-

seat sanctuary, classrooms, offices, a reception area and additional parking, according to conceptual plans. The current, 250-seat sanctuary would be reconfigured to be used as a multipurpose space and not for worship services.

Two entrance vestibules near the southeast corner of the building and a covered drop-off/pickup carport also are part of the proposed addition. The exterior of the building, landscaping and lighting would be a continuation of the current building.

Future conceptual development plans for the church, which sits on about 7 acres, include a 67,700-squarefoot buildout, but Boster said there are no immediate plans for another expansion.

“I think what we’re building now is really going to serve us really far into the future,” Boster said.

The Village Board gave the church the OK to begin a formal development review for the addition with the Huntley Plan Commission.

HARVARD – City Council members will meet Tuesday to appoint an acting mayor to finish out Jay Nolan’s term.

At an Oct. 25 meeting, Nolan announced his resignation from his mayoral seat in order to start a distillery.

He said state officials told him that he must step down before receiving a state liquor license. Nolan had been mayor for a little more than 11 years. The end of his term is in April 2017, and an acting mayor must be appointed to fill the term until then.

“All that state law says is they must elect a member of their own,” City Administrator Dave Nelson said. “So a city alderman must serve that term.”

Council members Friday were hesitant to take a position on who the new mayor could be.

“I don’t think we will really know

until Tuesday,” 2nd Ward Alderman Michael Kelly said. “That’s really the purpose of the meeting – to figure that out.”

Second Ward Alderman Phil Ulmer said he wasn’t interested in filling the role, but he was sure that someone must want it.

“I haven’t talked to anyone yet, and I probably won’t till Tuesday,” he said.

“There are eight aldermen. One out of eight is brand-new, and I’m not going to run. So I would think out of the six, we can find somebody who can take over until April.”

Bob O’Halloran, Ward 3, only has been an alderman since September, and he said he wasn’t expecting a nod and didn’t know who the new mayor would be.

“I’m the new guy in the box,” he said. “I haven’t heard anything from anybody. I am just going to go and see what happens.”

ALGONQUIN – More than 1,400 pounds of vegetables were harvested from the wastewater treatment facility garden in Algonquin, according to a news release from the village.

This is the fifth year the garden has donated its vegetables to the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Interfaith Food Pantry, 1113 Pyott Road, Lake in the Hills.

The garden is maintained by volunteers from the village and pantry.

“This partnership is a real win for the community,” Algonquin Village President John Schmitt said in a statement. “We are able to utilize idle land at one of our facilities to grow vegetables and help the food pantry carry out their mission.”

When the village used perennial vines to screen concrete walls at the wastewater facility, they decided to use the screening as a vertical garden to grow vegetables for the pantry, accord-

Pierce Lacey of Lake in the Hills waits in line to cast his vote Friday at the Lake in the Hills Village Hall. Early voting for Tuesday’s election is open at 10 polling places throughout McHenry County until Monday.

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

• EARLY VOTERS

Continued from page A3 also reflect an increased interest in early voting.

Just fewer than 1 million Illinois voters participated in early voting, as of figures released Friday by the Illinois State Board of Elections. An additional 483,000 applied for vote-by-mail ballots, slightly more than half of which already have been mailed back. Just fewer than 7,000 voters in McHenry County applied for vote-by-mail ballots, and 3,100 of them have been received by McClellan’s office.

Nationwide, about 40.3 million people have voted early as of Saturday evening, according to data from the United States Elections Project, run from the

University of Florida. In that battleground state, more than 40 percent of the state’s voters either have voted early or mailed back their absentee ballots.

More than 8 million people are registered to vote for this election in Illinois.

The total breaks the record of 7.8 million who registered in the 2008 election in which then-Illinois U.S. Sen. Barack Obama won the presidency.

McHenry County’s total number of registered voters actually is lower than it was in 2014, because McClellan’s office since has undertaken a review of the voter rolls to remove people who either no longer live in the county or are deceased.

Early voting in McHenry County takes place through 7 p.m. Monday evening. Polls open for Election Day at 6 a.m. Tuesday and stay open until 7 p.m.

Volunteer Center McHenry County transforms website

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – People searching for information about volunteer opportunities in McHenry County now can do so through Volunteer Center McHenry County’s updated website.

Making changes to the website, www.volunteercentermchenrycounty. org, has been in the works for the past few months. It officially launched Nov. 1 and now is more visually appealing and accessible.

“We updated it because our old system was not mobile-friendly,” said Rebecca Stiemke, executive director of Volunteer Center McHenry County.

“We also wanted to reach more people who are searching things on their phones.”

Volunteers can keep track of the value of their volunteer time, create a

PDF volunteer resume, become a “fan” of an organization and share those interests on social media. Organizations involved in the group can add pictures, slideshows and videos to their profiles, in addition to tracking and managing volunteers through the updated website.

Volunteer Center McHenry County provides services to 130 nonprofits in McHenry County, Stiemke said. The volunteers referred by the center save the county’s nonprofits more than $2 million each year, she said. The center has been part of the community for the past seven years.

Stiemke said she hopes the updated website will increase the number of volunteers throughout McHenry County.

“I think it’s one more way to get people excited about helping their community, and it’s an easy-access tool to make that happen,” she said.

WOODSTOCK – Council member Joe Starzynski was among the thousands of fans at Progressive Field on Wednesday to witness the historic Cubs World Series win – and he was repping Woodstock, too.

Starzynski said he’s been a Cubs fan for more than 40 years, and he knew he wanted to try to get to the game if it happened.

“We were at Game 5, which was Sunday,” he said. “But we didn’t even know if there was going to be a Game 7. … But we just got in the car Tuesday and were there two hours before game time.”

A few other Woodstock locals joined Starzynski and his son for Wednesday’s game in Cleveland, along with at least 15,000 other Cubs fans, he said.

“It was amazing,” Starzynski said.

The council member wore his Real Woodstock T-shirt to the game and wound up meeting another Woodstock native at a bar later in the evening. Real Woodstock is a local initiative to better

LAKEMOOR – A vacant Lakemoor home was damaged Saturday after a pickup truck drove into it, a fire official said.

About 5 p.m. crews responded to the 200 block of Rand Road, McHenry Township Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Kevin Sears said.

A man driving a pickup truck crashed through the yard of a vacant residence and hit the back of the house, Sears said. He said about half of the truck was in the home.

The man refused treatment at the scene, Sears said. He could not give more information on the man or what caused the crash.

There were no passengers in the truck, and no pedestrians were injured in the crash, Sears said.

The crash caused a natural gas leak, so the line was shut down, and Nicor also responded, Sears said. The village also boarded up the home, he said, and the truck was towed.

Lakemoor police could not immediately be reached for information.

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.

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 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.

“We did it! Thanks, Dad! Love you and miss you,” Miller wrote.

Others greeted the win with a touch of humor. Republican McHenry County Recorder candidate Joe Tirio posted a picture on Facebook of Satan making a snow angel in a newly frozen-over hell.

“To my wife, I love you, but this is the greatest day of my life,” Republican McHenry County State’s Attorney candidate Patrick Kenneally wrote on Facebook.

Not to be left out, his Democratic opponent, Ray Flavin, kept it simple with the post, “Go Cubs, go.”

Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks, who is running for McHenry County Board chairman, said the same thing, but elaborated with, “Amazing game!

Amazing season! Amazing team!”

Republican County Board candidate Jeff Thorsen wrote on Facebook in all caps that, “The world is forever changed!”

After a magic yet nerve-wracking Wednesday evening, candidates from all political stripes briefly banded together to support the winning platform of the Chicago Cubs Party.

With days to go before the most contentious and unusual presidential election in recent memory, candidates took to social media to unite in support of the Cubs’ platform of ending the longest championship drought in the history of American sports with their World Series win in extra innings in a nail-biting Game 7.

Candidates for the length of four hours and 45 minutes of a baseball game for the ages found common ground on issues such as expressing their love for the team, questioning some of manager Joe Maddon’s decisions, and questioning most of sportscaster Joe Buck’s utterances.

And for some candidates, like many voters, missing loved ones who didn’t get to see a victory 108 years in the making.

Democratic McHenry County Board candidate Dominique Miller took to Facebook to honor her die-hard Cubs fan father, Ken, who died in Septem-

loved Cubs! Never lose faith, never give up! Fight the fight! Congratulations!” Waltmire wrote.

Newly appointed Republican County Board member Chris Christensen after the late-night win wrote that he approved a day off for all Chicagoans.

He later amended his Facebook post to make it a four-day weekend.

“See you Monday, Vote Christensen: I make the tough decisions,” he wrote.

Christensen backed his words with action – he posted an Instagram photo of his two children holding a “W” flag Thursday morning in front of Wrigley Field.

The historic win also elicited comment from candidates on the national campaign trail.

Hillary Clinton, a Park Ridge native, took to Twitter to congratulate the Cubs.

“They did it! 108 years later and the drought is finally over. Way to make history, Cubs,” she wrote.

President Obama, a White Sox fan, extended the Cubs an invite on Twitter to the White House before he leaves office.

“It happened: Cubs win World Series. That’s change even this South Sider can believe in,” Obama wrote.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Get your strategy down pat and be ready to finish what you start no matter what obstacles you face. If you listen to your intuition instead of your emotions, you’ll make a wise choice.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – A steady pace will help you reach your goal. Someone will reach out to you for help. Proceed with caution. Focus on the ones you love, not on outsiders.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You’ll have too many choices and not enough time. Take care of your responsibilities quickly so you can do the things you enjoy most. Stay within your budget.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Travel, communication and adventure should all be in the works. Sharing something special with a loved one will improve your relationship. Romance, self-improvement and relaxation are encouraged.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Plan to have some fun.

Taking a day trip or attending a cultural event will spark your imagination and lead to an encounter with

someone who inspires you to try something new.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Your emotions will surface if someone says something derogatory. Take constructive criticism for what it’s worth. Focus on self-improvements and romance. Focus on affection to offset a dispute.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Participate in community events or family get-togethers. Sharing your thoughts, feelings and plans for the future will lead to an insightful response and will spur the motivation you need to make things happen.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You’ll be inclined to overreact, indulge and spend more than you should. Step back and listen to reason before you do something you’ll regret. Offer love and affection, and avoid chaos and discord.

STATE States grapple with picking judges without system

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – A nurse-turned-law clerk is the only candidate listed on next week’s general election ballot for an open Chicago-area judgeship, even after she was fired from her courthouse job and criminally charged for donning a black robe and presiding over traffic cases that should have been heard by a real judge.

Legal observers say there’s no obvious reason Rhonda Crawford was able to easily win the Democratic primary in March over two more experienced jurists who, unlike her, received good reviews by legal associations.

Illinois is one of several states where party-affiliated candidates run for vacant judicial seats. Critics say the system often renders candidate records irrelevant and means races are decided more by clout, identity politics and sheer luck. Superficial factors, such as the origin of a candidate’s last name, gender or ballot position, can also end up swaying uninformed voters.

About 30,000 judges across the U.S. hear millions of cases each year ranging from traffic to murder, but there is no commonly accepted best practice for how to select these public officials. Reformers say imperfect systems sometimes provide openings for sub-

PAC targets GOP candidates for southern Illinois court

MOUNT VERNON – A political action committee largely funded by civil litigation attorneys has amassed nearly $1 million for a late advertising push against two Republicans seeking seats on the state appellate court for southern Illinois.

Fair Courts Now formed on Oct. 11 and raised about $930,000 as of Wednesday, mostly from trial attorneys in St. Louis and Metro East suburbs, the Belleville News-Democrat reported.

The PAC’s expenditures consisted largely of mailings and ad buys opposing incumbent 5th District Appellate Court Justice Randy Moore of Carterville and Madison County Circuit Judge John Barberis. Both are Republicans.

Pumpkin recycling picks up in Chicago suburbs

The Daily Herald reported that dozens of communities in the Chicago suburbs are holding pumpkin recycling events on Saturday. The pumpkins are then composted.

With no consensus on judicial selection, systems vary by state and sometimes even by county within the same state. Most states have ended up mixing aspects of several different systems that have fallen in and out of favor every couple of decades, said William Raftery, an analyst at the National Center for State Courts.

“You still have that (1800s) Jacksonian idea that every official should be elected – from dog catcher and coroner,” he said. “But people also think judges shouldn’t be thrown off the bench just for making an unpopular ruling ... that judges are supposed to be experts in law, not really good politicians.”

Four other states – Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Pennsylvania – largely use partisan elections with features similar to Illinois, according to the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law; 16 hold nonpartisan elections, 14 use strict merit selection and a few depend on gubernatorial or legislative appointments. Many states use one system for lower-court judges and another for appellate judges.

175-foot grain elevator to be demolished in East Peoria

EAST PEORIA – A demolition company plans to knock down a 175-foot-tall concrete-and-rebar grain elevator in East Peoria by chipping away at its base with the bucket of the excavator.

Property owner Tyler Siebert told the (Peoria) Journal Star no explosives will be used to knock down the grain elevator on Sunday. Siebert said the city gave him 15 days to demolish the structure in October and then halted the process last week when city officials expressed concern about the safety of the operation. Those concerns were satisfied Thursday.

A 500-foot perimeter around the demolition site will be set up by police. Residents in the area are encouraged to stay indoors and keep doors and windows closed because of an expected plume of dust.

Man who kept woman captive was troubled teen In a statement, Morrissey’s SPARTANBURG, S.C. – When he was 15 and facing charges he raped a neighbor after forcing her into his home at gunpoint and tying her up, Todd Christopher Kohlhepp’s father told court officials the only emotion the teen was capable of showing was anger and a neighbor called him a “devil on a chain.”

That was his only known serious brush with the law before this week, when Spartanburg County deputies brought to his property by the last known cellphone signals of two people found a woman chained in a container for two months. It was an abrupt, but perhaps not unexpected, turn for a man who spent his 20s in prison.

Trump pressing into Democratic territory

By LISA LERER and STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – Fighting as a party of one, Donald Trump vowed Saturday to press into Democratic strongholds over the campaign’s final days as Hillary Clinton looked to an army of A-list celebrities and politicos to defend her narrowing path to the presidency.

The divisive Republican outsider conceded he was largely on his own – even as he promised to march into Minnesota, a state that hasn’t backed a GOP presidential nominee in more than four decades.

“Hillary Clinton has all of these celebrities and failed politicians out campaigning for her,” a defiant Trump declared in North Carolina, one of four battleground states he was visiting on Saturday. “I just have me, but I have my family.”

Responding to Trump’s push, Democrat Clinton announced plans to devote valuable attention to Michigan, another unlikely battleground where both she and President Obama planned to campaign on Monday.

The Democratic nominee faced dark skies Saturday in Florida, fighting intense rain and wind in a key battleground state before a Pennsylvania appearance with pop singer Katy Perry. Clinton was preparing to campaign Sunday with basketball superstar Lebron James, having shared the stage the night before with music diva Beyoncé and hip hop mogul husband Jay Z. “My personal favorite part – Beyoncé had her backup singers in pantsuits” Clinton said with a laugh in Pembroke Pines, Florida.

The final-days scramble highlighted sharp

differences between the campaigns in a turbulent 2016 campaign season.

Backed by President Barack Obama and her party’s political elite, Clinton spent much of the last year fighting to unify Obama’s coalition of minorities and younger voters, aided at times

by Trump’s deep unpopularity among women in both parties.

Trump has courted working-class white voters on the strength of his own celebrity, having scared off many would-be Republican allies during a campaign marred by extraordinary gaffes and self-created crises. Just four weeks ago, a video emerged in which a married Trump admitted to kissing women and grabbing their genitalia without their permission.

Even with the damaging video, Clinton faced extraordinary challenges of her own in recent days after the FBI confirmed plans to renew its focus on the former secretary of state’s email practices. The development is seen as particularly threatening for Clinton in states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire that don’t offer early voting.

At least 41 million Americans across 48 states have already cast ballots, according to an Associated Press analysis. That’s significantly more votes four days before Election Day than voted early in the 2012.

House Speaker Paul Ryan campaigned Saturday alongside Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence – a rare show of unity, but not with Trump himself. The speaker encouraged Republicans to “come home” to support Trump in Ryan’s home-state Wisconsin, ignoring for a day his icy relationship with the Republican nominee.

Senate control left hanging in balance

By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Control of the Senate hung in the balance as candidates from Nevada to New Hampshire made their closing pitches to voters Saturday after a tough and costly campaign. Republicans feared their slim 54-46 majority could slip away as they battled cross-currents from all sides, not least their unconventional presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

The GOP Senate candidates in Pennsylvania and Nevada, Sen. Pat Toomey and Rep. Joe Heck, left voters guessing to the end on whether they were voting for Trump. Both refused Pat Toomey to say, in Heck’s case after initially backing Trump, then un-endorsing him last month after tape surfaced in which Trump boasts he can get away with groping women.

In New Hampshire, in- Kelly Ayotte cumbent GOP Sen. Kelly Ayotte was neck-in-neck with Democratic challenger Gov. Maggie Hassan. Ayotte faced voter anger at home after her own un-endorsement of Trump.

“I would like to see her support her nominee,” Daniel Peltier, 21, of Littleton, New Hampshire, said as he finished up breakfast at The Coffee Pot restaurant where Ayotte was campaigning Saturday morning.

Halfway through a statewide tour with 50 stops in five days, Ayotte told diners: “I will kick butt, but I need your vote.”

Overall, Republicans faced a challenging Senate map, defending 24 seats compared with 10 for the Democrats. Democrats need to pick up five seats to take the

majority, or four if Hillary Clinton wins the White House and could send her vice president to break ties in a 50-50 Senate.

Democrats seemed likely to defeat GOP incumbents in Illinois and probably Wisconsin. Republican senators in Florida, Arizona and Ohio appeared to have comfortable leads.

But a half-dozen states – including Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Missouri, North Carolina and Indiana – could go either way Tuesday.

In Pennsylvania, Toomey sprinted across Philadelphia’s critical suburbs, attending at least six different events.

Speaking to about 80 party faithful at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post Joe Heck in West Chester, Toomey criticized Democrat Katie McGinty as a would-be collaborator on a tax and regulatory policy “that is absolutely devastating our whole economy.”

But Toomey is running Maggie a very different message Hassan on TV, where ads showing primarily in the Philadelphia area feature praise from President Barack Obama over Toomey’s work on gun issues.

That led to a stinging rebuke from the president Saturday. “Pat Toomey won’t tell Pennsylvania voters where he stands on Donald Trump, trying instead to have it both ways by telling different people what he thinks they want to hear,” Obama said in a statement.

Democrats accused Ayotte of similar mixed messages as she sought to appeal to potential ticket-splitting voters in New Hampshire. Ayotte produced an online ad with images of Chelsea Clinton as the Democratic nominee’s daughter campaigned at local colleges.

Lack of wave curbs Dem chances for House gains

By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON – House Democrats are on track to bolster their numbers in Tuesday’s election, perhaps picking off veteran Republicans from New Jersey, Florida and California along the way. But with no visible wave poised to engulf GOP lawmakers, there’s little suspense about whether Republicans will keep control.

Democrats long believed that Donald Trump’s presidential run would prove toxic to his party’s House candidates, but that seems likely to be only modestly accurate. GOP hopes for limiting losses have been buoyed in the campaign’s dwindling days by Republican voters rallying behind Trump, renewed attention to Hillary Clinton’s emails and rising premiums under President Barack Obama’s health care law.

“There were misplaced waves of optimism” among Democrats about a landslide in which “Trump was a magic word, if you just said Trump and a Republican candidate, all of that person’s support would melt away,” Democratic pollster Mark Mellman said.

“And it’s just not true.”

As a result, it seems improbable that Democrats will add the 30 seats they would need to capture House control.

That large a gain has been achieved by either party in just 10 of 35 elections since World War II. Instead, strategists from both sides expect a Democratic pickup of roughly 10 to 15 seats in a chamber Republicans dominate 247188, including three vacancies.

That’s the biggest GOP majority since 1931. It includes seats from Democratic areas that they’ve long acknowledged would be difficult to defend in a presidential election year, when Democratic turnout usually grows.

like this from a record-high majority of 247 seats, that’s a pretty good year,” said Rep. Steve Stivers, R-Ohio, a leader of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the House GOP’s campaign arm.

If huge numbers of House Republicans were about to be swamped by a national surge of anti-GOP sentiment, that would probably already be evident in polling numbers.

Operatives from both parties say Clinton would need nearly a double-digit lead over Trump, and Democrats would need a similar advantage over Republicans for which party’s congressional candidate people prefer.

Clinton and congressional Democrats have only slender edges.

In addition, Democrats would have probably already nailed down races against vulnerable Republicans such as Reps. Bob Dold in Chicago’s suburbs, Cresent Hardy from outside Las Vegas and Carlos Curbelo from greater Miami.

Even so, both parties agree Trump is hurting GOP candidates in suburban and ethnically diverse districts where he’s unpopular.

Republicans struggling under Trump’s weight include Reps. Will Hurd in West Texas, Barbara Comstock in northern Virginia and Erik Paulsen outside Minneapolis. They seem likely to lose another suburban Minneapolis seat being vacated by a retiring GOP lawmaker, and perhaps another around St. Petersburg, Florida.

GOP Reps. Darrell Issa of California, John Mica of Florida and New Jersey’s Scott Garrett – who’ve served a combined 54 years in the House – also are facing unaccustomed battles for political survival. Political operatives attribute their problems to Trump and the baggage of being entrenched veterans when voters want change.

PHOENIX – The U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday reinstated an Arizona law that makes it a felony to collect early ballots, stepping into a contentious political issue days before the presidential election and dealing a blow to Democratic get out the vote efforts.

The unsigned order from the nation’s highest court overturns an appeals court decision from a day earlier that blocked the new law and drew celebration from Democrats. Groups immediately launched renewed effort to help voters deliver their ballots to the polls.

The Supreme Court decision called into question what happens to ballots that have already been legally collected from voters in the approximately 20 hours that the law was blocked.

Arizona filed an emergency appeal hours after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the law Friday. Justice Anthony Kennedy referred the case to the entire Supreme Court, and the court issued a brief order overturning the appeals court. The 9th Circuit will now consider the law in a January session that it set when it blocked the law.

The high court decision is unusual because it takes at least five votes to issue such an order and the court is split 4-4 along conservative-liberal lines after the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia earlier this year. That means at least one of the court’s liberals agreed to allow the law to go back into effect.

The Arizona Secretary of State’s office urged groups that collected ballots during that time to turn them in Monday morning. County elections officials have said they lack authority to enforce the law and any valid ballot they receive through any means would be counted.

“All of those ballots, regardless of whether or not they were collected as a part of a lot of ballots, they were all going to be counted anyway. There was never any danger to voters,” said Matt Roberts, spokesman for Secretary of State Michele Reagan.

But state Republican Party Chairman Robert Graham said the Democratic groups should return the ballots to voters. The party has trained poll watchers to observe people who return multiple ballots and report them to election officials.

ANOTHER VIEW

Tackling homelessness can save money In a growing number of states, Medicaid directors have come to believe they could save money by housing the homeless. The federal government is providing money to find out whether they’re right. There’s good reason to think this is an experiment worth trying.

The idea arose from two developments. First, President Barack Obama’s health-care law’s drastic expansion of eligibility for Medicaid coverage has raised the number of homeless people who sign up. These beneficiaries often suffer from unmanaged illnesses, which lead to higher health-care costs and put a strain on Medicaid budgets.

Second, in recent years, policymakers have come to better understand how the way people live affects their medical needs.

Research has shown people’s

health improves when they have jobs, stable housing and access to healthy food. Governments now want to use this new appreciation for the so-called social determinants of health to improve policy.

Last year, the federal agency that runs Medicaid provided a way, by authorizing states to use federal Medicaid money to help ill and chronically homeless beneficiaries get housing. The idea is not to cover their rent but to help them apply for existing local housing programs, then work with their landlords to keep them from getting evicted.

Washington is just the latest in a string of half a dozen states that have gotten permission to create pilot programs to see whether this approach can lower Medicaid costs.

Savings are theoretically

possible – if states limit their efforts to the minority of homeless enrollees who have the most costly medical needs. If housing services are made available to any beneficiary who needs a place to sleep, they will be more likely to push up costs than lower them.

A too-broad approach also would risk duplicating the services of local, state and federal programs that already are in place to combat homelessness, as well as private and nonprofit efforts.

For the states now experimenting with housing their homeless Medicaid beneficiaries, the challenge will be to tailor their efforts carefully enough to both improve patients’ health and lessen the pressure on state budgets.

VIEWS Jennifer Rubin pears to be no link whatsoever between exposure to trade competition and support for nationalist policies in America, as embodied by the Trump campaign.” The same study also found “little clear evidence that economic hardship predicts support for Trump, in that higher household incomes tend to predict higher Trump support.”

We know about the high association between Trump support and belief President Barack Obama is a Muslim and between pro-Trump enclaves and “counties in a distinct cluster of Midwestern states – Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota – [that] saw among the fastest influxes of nonwhite residents of anywhere in the U.S. between 2000 and 2015. Hundreds of cities long dominated by white residents got a burst of Latino newcomers who migrated from Central America or uprooted from California and Texas.”

It turns out, according to one study, that hostility to women is another strong indicator of support for Trump. (“The higher they were on the sexism scale, the more likely they were to support Trump and the less likely they were to support Clinton.

Hostile sexism was nearly as good at

predicting support for Trump as party identification was.”)

To deny there is a strong racist component to Trump’s campaign is to deny reality. The economic dislocation spurred by technological innovation and recession coincided but was not caused by these newcomers. (We have experienced a high-skill manufacturing uptick such that we are at a 15-year high for unfilled manufacturing jobs.)

In the misinformation department, we also have quite a lot of economic quackery. Unfortunately, too many otherwise sensible folks seem certain the problem is trade and immigration, and the solution is to slow down both. That makes for less growth, less innovation and more poverty, but it does not help the high-school dropout in Youngstown, Ohio. (Many on the right peculiarly attribute African American unemployment to the cycle of welfare dependency, abuse of disability benefits and bad life choices, while attributing white hardship to Wall Street greed or globalism or phantom illegal immigrants.)

John Cochrane tells us the quacks have it backward. Too many who should know better suffer from “a mercantilist mentality – thinking jobs are lumps of labor, trade is a competition for exports, and other countries are hurting us when they send us great stuff cheap.” He explains: “Economic growth itself depends on globalization, expanding the number of people with whom we

trade ideas, skills, and goods. If you live in a village of one hundred, or even a small country of ten million, inventing an iPhone makes no sense.

You’ll never sell enough to recoup the costs. It only makes sense to innovate if you can sell it in a global market of billions of people. Growth comes from ideas, ideas are hard to come by, and expertise is specialized.”

Donald Trump’s candidacy is evidence of the ease with which a media-savvy demagogue can bamboozle the unwary and magnify our darkest tendencies.

The media has contributed to this, not merely by giving Trump effectively open-mic night (night after night) to spew his nonsense for 18 months.

There, too, economic ignorance is profound. When headlines treat the “trade deficit” as a sign of our economic decline or when cable TV news networks flash pictures of the Mexican border whenever covering illegal immigration (which is largely a problem of visa overstays given our net outflow of people on the southern border), they contribute to the grip of ignorance and serve up fuel for dangerous demagogues.

The solution to the flood of misinformation is trite but inescapable – more public education, better journalism, more courageous leaders.

Mobilize Congress to do something useful

To the Editor: The biggest issue not being discussed in this election is that the too-big-to-fail banks are bigger with more fraudulent exposure than before the 2008 financial crash. Deutsche Bank is holding $42 trillions of derivatives, which is ready to implode, bringing down the entire hopelessly bankrupt system. The solution is the immediate implementation of the Glass-Steagall banking separation law, exactly as President Franklin D. Roosevelt did in 1933. Once you’ve written off the speculative part of banks, you have to have a credit system in the tradition of Alexander Hamilton, which issues new, large credits for productive purposes. Both the Democrats and the Republicans have the Glass-Steagall Act in their platforms. There is a renewed optimism you can mobilize the Congress to do something useful, as was shown

when they voted up the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism bill, overriding the President’s veto.

The truth could be scary

T​ o the Editor: Are all politicians honest (as they all say they are)? Here’s a hypothetical scenario then: Let’s give all politicians the benefit of trust and believe everything they say and do would be truthful.

With that in mind, then everything they say about their opponents in an election year, and everything their opponents say about them would have to be true.

Scary, isn’t it?

More people have access via the palm of their hand – or rather, via the smartphone in the palm of their hand – to more information than any generation of people has ever enjoyed.

People also have access to more urban myths, propaganda, hoaxes, misinformation and outright lies from more sources than at any time in human history. It is the latter that should concern us.

There is the nonsense from talk radio/Sean Hannity/immigration exclusionists – birtherism, massive voter fraud, illegal immigrants flooding over the border to murder us in our sleep.

There also is the misinformation that leads us to infantilize and pity Donald Trump supporters. Innocent victims of globalism? Not so much, as others like James Kirchick have pointed out: “Contrary to popular conception, however, the median household income of a Trump primary voter is a healthy $72,000 a year, well above the $62,000 national average and higher than the median incomes of those who supported both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Meanwhile, 44 percent of Trump voters have college degrees, far more than the 29 percent of the general adult population.

According to a Gallup working paper based upon interviews with some 87,000 Trump supporters over the past year, the most exhaustive statistical analysis of the Trump phenomenon completed thus far, ‘There ap-

Trade not main factor in job losses

By PAUL WISEMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Donald Trump blames Mexico and China for stealing millions of jobs from the United States. He might want to bash the robots instead.

Despite the Republican presidential nominee’s charge that “we don’t make anything anymore,” manufacturing is still flourishing in America. Problem is, factories don’t need as many people as they used to because machines now do so much of the work.

America has lost more than 7 million factory jobs since manufacturing employment peaked in 1979. Yet American factory production, minus raw materials and some other costs, more than doubled over the same span to $1.91 trillion last year, according to the U.S. Commerce Department, which uses 2009 dollars to adjust for inflation. That makes U.S. manufacturers No. 2 in the world behind China.

Trump and other critics are right that trade has claimed some American factory jobs, especially after China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001 and gained easier access to the U.S. market. And industries that have relied heavily on labor – like textile and furniture manufacturing – have lost jobs and production to low-wage foreign competition. U.S. textile production, for instance, is down 46 percent since 2000. And over that time, the textile industry has shed 366,000, or 62 percent, of its jobs in the United States.

But research shows that the automation of U.S. factories is a much bigger factor than foreign trade in the loss of factory jobs. A study at Ball State University’s Center for Business and Economic Research last year found that trade accounted for just 13 percent of America’s lost factory jobs. The vast majority – 88 percent – were lost to robots or other homegrown factors that reduce factories’ need for human labor.

“We’re making more with fewer people,” says Howard Shatz, a senior economist at the Rand Corp. think tank.

General Motors, for instance, now employs barely a third of the 600,000 workers it had in the 1970s. Yet it churns out more cars and trucks than ever.

Or look at production of steel and other primary metals. Since 1997, the United States has lost 265,000

Workers exchange spools of thread as a robot picks up thread made from recycled plastic bottles at the Repreve Bottle Processing Center, part of the Unifi textile company in Yadkinville, N.C. jobs in the production of primary metals – a 42 percent plunge – at a time when such production in the U.S. has surged 38 percent.

Allan Collard-Wexler of Duke University and Jan De Loecker of Princeton University found last year that America didn’t lose most steel jobs to foreign competition or faltering sales. Steel jobs vanished because of the rise of a new technology: Super-efficient mini-mills that make steel largely from scrap metal.

The Boston Consulting Group predicts that investment in industrial robots will grow 10 percent a year in the 25-biggest export nations through 2025, up from 2 or 3 percent growth in recent years.

The economics of robotics are hard to argue with.

When products are replaced or updated, robots can be reprogrammed far faster and more easily than people can be retrained. And the costs are dropping:

Owning and operating a robotic spot welder cost an average $182,000 in 2005 and $133,000 in 2014 and will likely run $103,000 by 2025, Boston Consulting says.

But there’s an upside for some American workers: The use of robots – combined with higher labor costs in China and other developing countries – has reduced the incentive for companies to chase low-wage labor around the world.

Multinational companies are also rethinking the production model of the 1990s and 2000s, when they tended to manufacture components in different countries and then assemble a product at a plant in a lowwage country. The 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, which disrupted shipments of auto parts, and the bankruptcy of the South Korean shipping line Hanjin Shipping, which stranded cargo in ports, exposed the risk of relying on far-flung supply lines.

With the election soon approaching, the question we have been hearing a lot is, “Should I sell everything and wait until after the election to invest again?”

While this might seem like a good idea and perhaps might work out for you in the short term, it is a very risky strategy. You must be right twice, when you sell and when you buy back in.

There is no question during presidential election years, investor doubts are especially prevalent due to the fact most campaigns will spotlight the country’s challenges. Even though the rhetoric usually amplifies the negative points of our economy, country and world, it is important to stay focused on your vision for the future.

To help you stay on course, we ask you to consider the following: • Successful long-term investors stay the course and rely on time rather than timing in the market.

• Investment success depends more on the strength and resilience of the American economy rather than which candidate or party holds office.

• The current economic and political challenges may seem unprecedented, but looking back, market history shows controversy and uncertainty have surrounded every race, but the market continues mov-

After 40 years, ex-wife still can’t let go of man she left Dear Abby: After 19 years of marriage, my mother divorced my father to be with my stepfather. They have been together for 40 years now. The problem is, Mom can’t go more than three days without talking about my father or his family.

It’s like my stepsiblings grew up with a “ghost” stepdad because of the constant stories.

I have tried dropping subtle hints to my mother, such as, “That was 48 years ago. Why are you still holding onto that?” Nothing stops her. She even talks about him to people she’s just met. How can I get her to let go of the man she left, and understand that this must be an ongoing jab to her current husband’s self-esteem? – Embarrased For My

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

her not to do it, do not be embarrassed for him. His self-esteem may be strong enough that what she’s saying doesn’t bother him. Frankly, what she’s doing is far more a reflection on her than upon him.

Dear Abby: I am a 45-year-old man.

When I was in high school, I couldn’t get a date. I’m not unattractive, and I wasn’t even back then. But I was somewhat of a social outcast.

In recent years I have reconnected with several people I went to school with, Stepdad and returned to my hometown for a Dear Embarrased: That your mother short visit to show my kids where I grew feels compelled to do this even with strangers is peculiar, but neither you nor up. Abby, I was overwhelmed with attention from women who wouldn’t give me I can change her behavior. Unless you know for a fact your stepfather has asked the time of day 25 years ago. I admit I like

the change, but I’m uncomfortable there has been such a dramatic shift in their view of me.

I’m not rich. I have a stable job, but haven’t done much with my life other than leave the small rural town I was raised in. Now I constantly am contacted by women who used to never look in my direction, asking me if it’s possible to become romantically involved.

Is this a case of the one that got away?

Or is it a case of the grass is greener somewhere else, and I found a way to jump the fence? – Confounded In Ala-

bama Dear Confounded: Perhaps neither. As

people mature, their values usually mature along with them. Or, like fine wine, you may have improved with age.

Dear Abby: Would you kindly inform your readers there is nothing wrong with being the first person to go through a buffet line or be seated at the dinner table when dinner is called?

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

A hostess (or host) works hard to prepare a meal in a timely manner, and it seems impolite, almost rude, for guests to shuffle around waiting for someone else to go first. I’m pretty sure the hosts don’t want to see their perfectly good meal sit on the table getting cold. There is no reward for going last, because the only thing that results from it is a frustrated host or hostess. – Early Bird In Ohio Dear Early Bird: At a dinner party in a private home, it is rude to ignore a host’s request to be seated. For anyone who doesn’t want to be the first at a buffet, the solution would be to say to your companions, “I don’t know about you, but I’m hungry. How about us getting in line?” It’s better than having them listen to your stomach growl. But watch out for the stampede.

PREP FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: CLASS 6A SECOND ROUND: PRAIRIE RIDGE 51, MONTINI 24

Evans’ 7 TDs power PR

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – Normally, the sight of Prairie Ridge quarterback Samson Evans lying on the football field needing physical assistance might be concerning for the Wolves.

When Evans couldn’t move in the third quarter, there was no alarm. The junior’s calves cramped, and he needed a break. After running for 238 yards and seven touchdowns, he had earned it.

Prairie Ridge, with its trip to Montini’s John Duffy Memorial Stadium from 50 weeks previous well etched in its mind, took out everything it had on the Broncos, starting with Evans.

The Wolves, seeded No. 1 in the Class 6A northern bracket, did whatever they wanted in the first half, had a running clock by the third quarter and ousted the defending state champion Broncos, 51-24, in their second-round football playoff game Saturday.

“Practice was intense (this week),” Evans said. “Everybody came in this week focused. We knew we could win this game this year, everyone was so excited to play them again.”

Prairie Ridge led Montini in a Class 6A semifinal played in a snowstorm last season, but lost, 35-27, then watched the Broncos beat Crete-Monee for the state championship.

Montini (7-4) had its remarkable record string of championship appear-

ances, tied with Driscoll at seven, end, along with its 31-game winning streak at Duffy Memorial. The Wolves (11-0) will host No. 12 Lake Forest (8-3) in a quarterfinal game next week, likely at 1 p.m. “[Evans] is a phenomenal athlete,” Wolves coach Chris Schremp said.

“He’s been the one who took that game last year the hardest. It drove him this whole offseason to get better. Samson wanted a little revenge in this game. I knew we could win. That was the difference between last year and this year. I don’t know if they truly believed. This year we knew we could come out. Just that belief alone was half the battle.”

Montini scored first with a Michael Cooney field goal, and it was all Prairie Ridge for the rest of the half. Evans ran for 58 yards on the first series. Linebacker Austen Ferbet then intercepted Montini quarterback Matt Morrissey on the next series at the Broncos’ 22, and Evans scored one play later.

“That (interception) sparked us, it gave us more motivation than we already had, it was great,” Ferbet said. “(The first half) was just flawless. It’s what we practiced all year to do, practice for this moment to come back and beat Montini.”

The Wolves’ defense kept Montini pinned in its own end during the first half, and the offense took advantage of great field position. Prairie Ridge was so good that even when Evans’ 94-yard

kickoff return for a touchdown was nullified by a penalty, he scored on a 58yard run six plays later.

“This was the best look the scout team gave us in practice this whole year,” offensive tackle and defensive end Jeff Jenkins said. “It was really good. The intensity was really high, a great week of practice. We believed if we ran our plays, did what we’ve been doing all year, they couldn’t stop us.”

The Wolves took a 44-10 lead on a third-quarter safety, then Evans ran 44 yards for his seventh touchdown, losing his left shoe near the line of scrimmage, before calling it a day.

“As I was running, they both (calves) cramped up, and I was like, ‘I can’t stop.

I got to get in the end zone,’ ” Evans said. “Now, we’ve beaten Montini, we know whoever comes in our way we have a big shot to win.”

Broncos coach Chris Andriano, whose team won five state titles in the past seven seasons, hit 300 in career victories last week.

“It’s an unbelievable accomplishment due to a lot of great players from the years past and a lot of great coaches,” he said. “I got a lot of great memories.

“It’s disappointing today, but we got beat by a great team. I hope they go all the way. I think they can. They do a great job with their scheme. Their quarterback is special. Their QB is a terrific player. He’s something else.”

Prairie Ridge started warming up almost an hour before the game, and the Montini press box had some mood music for the Wolves, selections such as “A Spoonful of Sugar” from the movie “Mary Poppins,” and “Loving You” from Minnie Ripperton. At the end of the game, one of the Montini chain gang members asked coach Chris Schremp whether he liked the Mary Poppins’ music.

“That will be on our warmup next week,” a smiling Schremp said.

PREP FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: CLASS 8A SECOND ROUND – HUNTLEY 38, FREMD 30

Huntley pounces early Red Raiders build 22-point lead, hold off Vikings

By SEAN HAMMOND shammond@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Red Raiders defensive back Tyler Koss noticed Fremd quarterback Tom Josten’s target wasn’t looking. Koss jumped the route and caught the pass in stride on his way to the end zone, 20 yards the other way.

The pick-six came early in Huntley’s 38-30 Class 8A second-round win over Fremd, but it was a momentum swing and it gave the Raiders an early 14-0 advantage.

“That was huge,” Koss said. “We set the tone right from the get-go.”

Huntley won by only eight points, but the Raiders controlled the game throughout and advanced to their first quarterfinal since 2001. They led by as much as 22 with 3:52 to play before Fremd put together a fierce rally that came one touchdown short.

“We played three quarters of great football,” Huntley quarterback Eric Mooney said. “The first half of the fourth quarter we played good. I think we kind of thought the game was over and let up a little bit. We can’t do that.”

Mooney ran in a touchdown from 6 yards out to open the scoring. Each team made a field goal in the first half and Huntley led, 17-3, at the break.

In the fourth quarter, Mooney found Ryan Antonsen for a 42-yard touchdown pass and ran in a 43yard score of his own.

He finished with 205 yards on 9-for-16 passEric Mooney ing with one touchdown.

He also ran for 139 yards and two scores on 20 carries.

“Eric is just a phenomenal player.

We can always count on him to have a couple of big plays per game,” Huntley coach Matt Zimolzak said. “He was a little bit under the weather this week – didn’t get much sleep last night.”

It didn’t show in his play.

“We were taking what they were giving us,” Mooney said. “(The) first drive is always the hardest drive; you’ve got nerves. Then we got rolling a little bit.”

Zimolzak was in a unique position

Saturday. Although in his fifth year coaching at Huntley – first as head coach – he still teaches at Fremd, where he coached from 1995 to 2011.

He has a number of Fremd football players in his AP physics classes and still knows some of the coaches. Zimolzak said he had a chance to talk with Fremd coaches and players before the game.

Josten, who Zimolzak had in class last year, led the late rally for the Vikings. He threw three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and finished the game 22 for 40 with three TDs, two interceptions and 300 yards passing.

Josten’s last touchdown came with 1:43 remaining, and Fremd had an opportunity for an onside kick. Huntley’s Tyler Szekely jumped on the ball to lock up the victory.

The Raiders will need to be at their best next week when they host defending Class 8A state champion Loyola Academy, which enters on a 28-game winning streak.

“They’re a powerhouse,” Koss said.

“We’ve just got to come out and play hard and smart.”

What to watch NHL: Dallas at Blackhawks, 6 p.m., CSN The Hawks complete a home-and-home series against the Central Division-rival Stars at the United Center.

ALGONQUIN – About five minutes before Jacobs faced Batavia in the second round of the Class 7A playoffs Saturday afternoon, Golden Eagles coach Bill Mitz addressed his team at full volume.

“You better be ready to play!” Mitz shouted to his players. “You wanna be a state quarterfinalist? Go get it!”

His message must have resonated loud and clear, because Jacobs (7-4) never trailed during a 28-14 victory that could be considered a statement win – and perhaps even a turning point – in its football program’s evolution, especially when you consider Jacobs was seeded 28th in the Class 7A field, while Batavia was a No. 12 seed.

The Golden Eagles advance to face No. 4 Fenwick.

“This is the furthest we’ve ever been in my (seven) years in charge here at Jacobs,” Mitz said. “We just

beat a team that won a state title three years back. That means something to us, to our staff, to our players and our fans. Hopefully, this is where we turn a corner.

“We want to eventually be talked about the same way other local teams like the Cary-Groves or Prairie Ridges are talked about. Our goal is to be on that same level. I think today was a step in that direction.”

After forcing a turnover on downs on Batavia’s opening drive, Jacobs wasted little time denting the scoreboard. Junior David Butros reeled off a 57-yard touchdown run four minutes into the game, making it 7-0.

The Bulldogs (8-3) evened the score late in the first quarter on Dana Anderson’s 25-yard TD run, but momentum soon swung again.

On the ensuing kickoff, junior Loren Strickland returned a kickoff 75 yards for a score, giving the Golden Eagles the lead for good.

Penalties hurt Batavia in a huge way. They were flagged 10 times for 105 yards, including a third-down penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct in the fourth quarter that negated a first down in Jacobs territory. The Bulldogs compounded their issues by going 2 for 12 on third downs, and didn’t finally convert one until midway through the third quarter.

6 PREP FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: CLASS 6A SECOND ROUND – CARY-GROVE 56, GRAYSLAKE NORTH 7

Pennington sets tone for Trojans FB leads C-G into quarterfinals

By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com CARY – Each week the Cary-Grove offense seems to have someone new as the focus of its option attack. In the first-round win against Wheeling, it was quarterback Bobby Collins who called his own number the most, finishing with 170 yards rushing. On Saturday, it was evident early that fullback Tyler Pennington would be the main back with five straight carries on the Trojans’ first drive.

“Bobby [Collins] had a big game for us last week, and today we wanted to establish Tyler early,” Trojans coach Brad Seaburg said.

Pennington was the lead back most of the first half and finished with 121 yards on 12 carries as C-G cruised into the Class 6A quarterfinals with a 56-7 victory over Grayslake North at Al Bohrer Field. C-G will travel to DeKalb next weekend to face the Barbs.

The C-G running attack set the tone all afternoon against the Knights. Eleven players had carries for the Trojans (10-1), who finished with 388 yards rushing on 41 carries. Pennington (2), Collins (2), Kyle Pressley, Max Buss and Adam DeAlba had touchdown runs for C-G. “The first carry was a designed run for me, but after that, all my other carries were just reads by Bobby,” Pennington said. “The offensive line did a great job again all game creating huge holes for us to run through.”

After the game against Wheeling in which the Trojans did give up a lot of yards but not many points, the defense held Grayslake North in check all afternoon. Ben Ferrell and Danny Daigle each had interceptions for C-G, and Kevin Pedersen and Jordan Laktas each had sacks. The Trojans held Grayslake North to 175 yards of offense and a late touchdown on a long run by Griffin Gawenda.

“All season we have focused on the defense to do its job and get our offense back on the field,” Ferrell said.

The C-G special teams also made their presence felt with a blocked punt in the second quarter that resulted in a touchdown recovery in the end zone by Max Skol.

“Any time you can get a score by your defense or special teams it’s big,” Seaburg said. “The defense played well again for us today, and we were able to get some timely turnovers and did a nice job stopping them. Momentum is important in the playoffs, so we wanted to get the offense going early and stop them on defense. We were able to do that today.”

Jacobs’ Stephen Kavanaugh lunges for extra yardage after being tackled by Batavia’s Michael Nuemiec on Saturday in Algonquin. Jacobs won, 28-14.

• JACOBS Continued from page 5 Strickland also extended Jacobs’ lead to double digits twice after that in the second quarter. First, he made it 21-7 with a 3-yard TD run.

Then, 28-14, thanks to his 77-yard run.

Jacobs allowed 304 first-half yards, but that stat was deceiving. The Golden Eagles also forced Batavia into a pair of punts during that span.

Jacobs also forced four total turnovers on downs, in what Mitz called his team’s “bend but not break” defensive philosophy. All four times, the Bulldogs had the ball in Jacobs territory, making their lack of execution extremely costly.

“Scoring first was one of the biggest keys to this game, because we knew what Batavia was capable of with its high-powered offense,” Strickland said. “But our defense limiting them when they did drive the ball was just as critical. We wanted to get momentum right away and maintain it. Thankfully, every time they responded, we had an answer.”

Batavia split time between two quarterbacks with mixed results. Senior Ben Weerts (3 for 11 passing, 94

yards, TD, INT) and junior Riley Cooper (14 for 18, 116 yards) were rotated in and out of the lineup. Jukuari Bland’s fourth-quarter interception for the Golden Eagles was the game’s lone turnover.

“If you look at the numbers, we moved the ball,” Batavia coach Dennis Piron said. “We put up some yardage numbers, but they didn’t lead to points. Penalties (10 for 105 yards) ruined several of our drives. Guys not finishing or executing cost us.”

Piron also mentioned the field conditions at length, which he described as “sloppy and sloshy,” with large chunks of grass flying up throughout.

“This isn’t to take anything away from Jacobs, because they played a heck of a football game and deserved to win.” Piron said. “But our offense sputtered. We couldn’t get into a rhythm. Part of it was our fault, sure.

But we like to run counters and traps and misdirection plays, and when guys can’t get their footing or leverage, it’s a real factor out there.

“We’re a run-first team. We were forced to adjust, especially when we fell behind. We threw the ball more than we wanted as a result, and our runs became more north and south with fewer cuts. It is what it is.”

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: CLASS 3A MARIAN CENTRAL SUPERSECTIONAL

Marian Central bounces back against Rosary to win 23rd straight WOODSTOCK – Noticeably missing from Landers Pavilion on Saturday afternoon was the 2015 Class 3A state girls volleyball championship poster that hung all year in Marian Central’s gym.

The Hurricanes have lost only once at home since the start of last year, but the added weight of winning their final home match of the 2016 season with a trip to the state semifinals on the line was enough pressure.

“We took it down for today,” Hurricanes coach Laura Watling said. “We didn’t want the pressure of looking at that staring us in the face. I think it could put a little too much pressure on a team.”

After dropping the first three points against Rosary and trailing by as many as four in the first set, the Hurricanes played more like a team expecting to advance and defend its state title and not one ready to go home.

Marian Central swept Rosary, 25-16, 25-20, in the Class 3A Marian Central Supersectional, earning their 23rd straight win and sending the Hurricanes back to the state semifinals.

The Hurricanes (39-1), who tied the school record with 39 wins (matching the 2015 team), will meet Mascoutah in a Class 3A state semifinal about 4 p.m.

Friday at Redbird Arena in Normal.

Marian now has made it to the state semifinals in four of the past seven seasons (2010, 2011, 2015 and 2016). The Hurricanes have lost only 10 sets all year and have gone 78-4 since the start of the 2015 season with their current class of 10 seniors.

“It feels incredible,” said senior setter McKayla Wuensch, who had 19 assists and passed Abby Gilleland for the school’s all-time assists record. “This is our last home game together. We only have two matches left, and to have the record we have is phenomenal. We’ve grown so close together, and I love them.

They’re like my 10 best friends.”

Senior Lauren Hanlon led the attack

Marian Central will face Mascoutah at 4 p.m. Friday in a Class 3A state semifinal at Redbird Arena in Normal. with eight kills and added three blocks, Sydney Nemtuda had seven kills and two aces, Meghan Schwallie had seven digs, Rachel Noonan added three blocks, Brenna Koch had four kills, Emily Radecki had two blocks and a kill, and Lexi Weck added an ace.

“I feel like we’re a lot more prepared than last year,” said Nemtuda, who broke the school’s all-time kills record earlier this postseason, passing Rachel Giustino. “We know what we’re doing now, and we’re just so excited.”

Rosary (27-13) led, 11-9, in the first set, but Marian responded with an 8-2 run to take a 17-13 lead. The Hurricanes pushed

their lead to as many as eight points, at 23-15, on a block by Noonan. In the second set, Marian turned around a 9-7 deficit with a 10-4 run, capped by a kill

by Radecki.

Rosary got to within three points but not any closer. Marian thought it had won the match a point early but was called for a net violation.

The next serve went long, and the Hurricanes celebrated the victory for a second time, with their bench emptying again and bodies piling onto the court.

This time, it was for real.

“It was the best feeling in the world,” Radecki said. “It’s very special. We’ve been with each other since freshman year, and we all stuck together. It’s nice that we get to end it together at state.”

The next win for Marian would be its 40th and set a program record, a number Watling said she’s dreamed of reaching.

The Hurricanes have two more chances to make it happen, but they’re not looking to waste any time.

“Take care of business,” Koch said.

“Right away.”

8 IHSA BOYS AND GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY STATE MEETS

Banner day for R-B boys, girls

By JOE STEVENSON LEFT: Crystal Lake Central’s Katelyn Smith (No. 828), Kelly Doerr (No. 819) and Janine Orvis (No. 825) start the Class 2A IHSA cross country state meet Saturday at Detweiller Park in Peoria.

Central finished fourth. BELOW, RIGHT: Hampshire’s Jacob Oury (left) runs next to Prairie Ridge’s Filip Pajak during the Class 2A state meet. Oury finished ninth, and Pajak was 15th.

BELOW, LEFT: Richmond-Burton’s Ryan Hommowun runs in the Class 1A state meet. He finished ninth.

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Running against some of the best Class 1A competition in the postseason paid dividends for Richmond-Burton’s boys cross country team Saturday.

The Rockets, who competed against Harvest Christian and Rockford Christian in their regional and sectional meets, learned what they needed to do and executed their plan at the IHSA Cross Country State Meet at Peoria’s Detweiller Park.

With senior Ryan Hommowun leading the way in ninth place, R-B grabbed the third-place team trophy with 138 points. Harvest Christian won with 107, Freeburg was second with 116 and Rockford Christian was fourth with 190.

“It was pretty spectacular,” Hommowun said. “We knew the competition really well. We were a little concerned, we knew Freeburg had a chance.”

It is the first team trophy for an R-B team at a state cross country meet. The R-B girls almost won one right before the boys, taking fourth in the girls race with 191 points, 17 behind third-place Liberty.

Crystal Lake Central’s girls took fourth in the Class 2A race, and its boys team was fifth. There were five area girls who made All-State (top 25) in Class 2A and four boys.

“We’ve been working really hard on keeping our 2-4 split tight,” R-B coach Ryan Carlson said of the boys team.

“We’ve been fortunate to be in a really tough regional and a really tough sectional.”

R-B’s girls were led by Emma Langlois in 31st and Breanne Retherford in 38th.

“The girls have been coming on strong the last three weeks,” said Carlson, whose team won regional and sectional titles. “We were super-excited for today. We were happy with where we landed. It was a fun day.”

Hommowun was joined as an AllStater by Johnsburg’s Tim Bertulis, who finished 23rd.

“I was very happy with my finish,” Hommowun said. “I was focusing on making sure I knew the pace I was going and not to go out too fast. When I got to the first mile at the time I wanted, I knew everybody (ahead of me) would start to slow down.”

In the Class 2A boys race, Central’s Cole Barkocy took fifth, tying for the second-highest finish in school history. Hampshire’s Jake Oury was ninth, the highest finish in boys cross country

history for the Whip-Purs.

Prairie Ridge’s Filip Pajak (15th) and Central’s Weston Sterchi (23rd) also earned All-State honors.

Both Barkocy and Oury went out with a flourish in their final high school cross country races.

“With about 1,000 meters, I took second place,” Barkocy said. “It wasn’t the smartest move. I tried to go for it. It was a blast. it was a lot of fun to race.”

Barkocy was an All-Stater as a sophomore. Oury said he really had no strategy for his last race.

“I had nothing to lose and everything to gain,” Oury said. “I wanted to place as highly as I could, which I thought might be 20th. I kind of took a second when I got home and woke up, trying to remember this day and this moment. I performed better than I ever hoped for in this race.”

In the 2A girls race, Central’s Janine Orvis (10th), Kelly Doerr (17th) and Katelyn Smith (24th) were AllStaters, as were Marian Central’s Abigail Jones (21st) and Woodstock’s Kylie Hagmann (22nd).

“I was really happy with how it went,” said Orvis, a first time AllStater. “I wasn’t expecting to do as well as I did. I cried a lot; I was really happy.

I’m glad with how the race played out.

Our top four all broke 18 minutes, and we were happy about that.”

Avani Flanagan finished 27th for

the Tigers, missing All-State by two spots.

In the Class 3A boys race, Crystal Lake South’s Jack Becker took 20th and Dundee-Crown’s Anthony Hurgoi was 41st. “[Being All-State] is a great feeling,” Becker said. “I kept trying to move up and put myself in position to be AllState. I knew around the last 800 meters, parents and coaches were yelling out to kids around me, that I was around

19th or 20th. I knew when I finished I was definitely in. I was pretty drained, but I was super-happy to get All-State after what happened a couple weeks back.”

Becker went too hard in the Fox Valley Conference Meet three weeks earlier and was unable to finish. He rebounded to run in the regional and sectional and met his goal Saturday.

South’s Caitlin Bruzzini took 59th in the 3A girls race, and D-C’s Sylvia Waz was 86th.

q UNSUNG HERO

Caileigh McCafferty McHenry, so.

McCafferty finished second in two races, leading Crystal Lake co-op’s Valerie Tarazi early in both before coming in second to the defending champion. She hit state qualifying times in both races and swam on two winning relays.

q THE NUMBER

Conference records set by McHenry in its seven event wins

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Randy McCafferty had been in Cleveland for Games 6 and 7 of the World Series and returned to see his daughter, Caileigh, swim for a conference title, posting two state qualifying times in the process. Once McHenry had won the final race, he dropped down a “W” flag for the Warriors to celebrate with, the same one he had taken to Cleveland and back. both relays.

“We were all really excited to come to this meet, and I think that we were all really prepared for this meet,” Payton Lange said. “We wanted to have fun at this meet, and I think we did that.”

Crystal Lake High School co-op finished second, 13 points back, getting two race wins from Valerie Tarazi.

Cary-Grove finished third, with a win

ally, really hard, and I knew in the IM that my breaststroke would be able to carry me,” Tarazi said. “And then, I don’t know, I like coming from behind.

It makes it more exciting.”

The two dueled again in the 100 butterfly, with Tarazi again coming from behind to win, this time by 0.07, finishing in 57.45 to McCafferty’s 57.52.

Fowles was happy with the sophomore’s performance, saying, “Even though she lost to Val, if you’re losing to Val Tarazi, it’s not that bad of a thing. She had some really good times for her.”

Cary-Grove’s team of Sejal Dhindsa, Emily Harvard, Ayden Donfris and Sarah Pilut opened the meet by winning the 200 medley relay in 1:53.14.

McHenry took both freestyle relays in record time. The team of McCafferty, Kruse, Payton Lange and Hannah Lange won the 200 freestyle relay with a time of 1:38.24. The team of McCafferty, Megan Frost, Hannah Lange and Payton Lange closed out the meet with a win in 3:34.64.

“Those freestyle relay times, I wasn’t expecting them to go that fast, but I mean I was hoping they would.”

Fowles said. “Everybody’s got to be firing on all cylinders basically to make times like that, and they did that.

That’s exactly what they did.”

The Jacobs/Hampshire co-op team finished fifth, Dundee-Crown finished sixth and Woodstock co-op took seventh.

WOODSTOCK – By the end of the Fox Valley Conference Championship girls swimming meet, McHenry senior Hannah Lange’s voice was starting to go hoarse, but she couldn’t keep from smiling. There had been a lot to shout about Saturday for the Warriors, and especially the Lange family, at Woodstock North.

Hannah and her sister Payton Lange swam the final two legs of a meet-closing win in the 400-yard freestyle relay, which was McHenry’s seventh victory out of 11 events and fourth conference record of the day.

“It felt so good. I had a feeling we were going to be ahead, just everybody was feeling super great and everybody was – I’m sorry, I can’t really talk right now,” Hannah Lange said, clearing her throat. “But everybody was doing so good, we were all so pumped up and helping each other out, helping each other get pumped. It just felt really good.”

McHenry won the conference meet (after going undefeated in conference duals) with Hannah Lange winning two events (200-and 500 freestyle), Payton Lange winning two events (100 freestyle and 100 backstroke), Janessa Kruse winning the 50 freestyle and the Warriors taking two of three relays.

Hannah’s 500 freestyle set a conference record as did Payton’s 100 freestyle and

in the 200 medley relay, and Huntley placed fourth, led by a win from Lindsey Ferguson in the 100 breaststroke.

“We knew it would be a close meet,” Tarazi said. “They have great swimmers, and we have great swimmers, and we have a lot of depth, but obviously they came out on top, but it could have gone either way today. It was a great meet.”

The Lange sisters and Tarazi were named co-MVPs of the meet.

“They’re a pair of goofballs is what they are,” McHenry coach Craig Fowles said of the sisters. “But they both work really hard. They get to a meet where they can show what they’ve got going, and they deliver, and as a coach, I can’t ask more than that.”

CLHS freshman Jamie Gindorf was named top newcomer. She took third in the 100 breaststroke and 200 individual medley, plus swam on two second-place relays.

“There are a lot of great girls on the team that have really helped push me throughout the season,” Gindorf said.

“It’s been a great year.”

Two of the closest races of the day came between Tarazi and McHenry sophomore Caileigh McCafferty. In the 200 individual medley, McCafferty jumped out to a lead through the first two strokes, but Tarazi caught her on the breaststroke and ended up winning in 2:06.15 while McCafferty finished in 2:08.98.

14 BLACKHAWKS 3, STARS 2

Kane’s game-winning goal solidifies win The ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS – After a fast start, the Blackhawks came up with a big finish.

Patrick Kane assisted on a goal 11 seconds into the game, then scored the go-ahead goal in the second period of Chicago’s 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night.

Chicago’s penalty killers and goalie Corey Crawford kept the Stars from scoring on a power play over the last 1:49. The Blackhawks extended their winning streak to five games, and are 6-0-1 in their last seven.

Dallas is 1-3-1 in the last five games.

“I thought we did some decent things in the second half of the game,” Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said.

“Big saves, big clears and working together,” Quenneville said of the game-saving penalty kill.

Kane’s 46 points (20 goals, 26 assists) against Dallas are his most against any team, in only 36 games.

Chicago erased a 2-1 deficit with second-period goals by Ryan Hartman at 2:59 and Kane on the power play at 7:40 against Stars goalie Antti Niemi.

Teammates to the left of the net were occupying Niemi. Kane skated in from the right to put the puck into a nearly empty right side when it came across from Artem Anisimov.

Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane looks to pass as he is pressured by Dallas Stars center Jason Spezza during the first period Saturday in Dallas. The Hawks won, 3-2.

“Really anybody could have scored that goal standing in the back door,” Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said. “He’s a world-class player in this league. We were able to handle his speed, but he knows where to go. It was a mishit, but it went over and he was in the right spot.”

The Blackhawks scored 11 seconds into the game when Richard Panik scored his seventh goal by wristing in the rebound of a shot by Kane.

“You probably couldn’t ask for a better start,” Kane said.

Dallas took a 2-1 lead on goals by Brett Ritchie at 7:21 of the first and

Curtis McKenzie at 9:49.

Crawford held the Stars scoreless after that. He finished with 31 saves, four on the last power play.

“It was a great job by our PK to keep them on the outside and stay patient,” Crawford said. “A couple key moments, we were able to get the puck outside of the zone.”

If the Stars could have scored to tie the game, they still would have had a power play in overtime, because the Blackhawks’ Marcus Kruger had been assessed a double minor for high sticking.

“It’s always been a strength of our team, blocking shots, killing penalties,” Kane said.

Niemi made 29 saves.

Ritchie tied the score when he skated into the slot, took a pass from Antoine Roussel and put in a wrist shot off Crawford’s left arm.

Less than 3 minutes later, Stephen Johns sent a shot from the right point.

There followed a scramble with three players from each team around Crawford. Rookie Gemel Smith poked at the puck, which went in off McKenzie’s right skate.

Hartman ended a 32-second flurry of four good chances for Chicago by driving a slap shot from the right faceoff circle past Niemi to tie the game at 2.

PACERS 111, BULLS 94

Early turnovers lead to deficit Bulls can’t overcome

By JOE COWLEY For Chicago Sun-Times INDIANAPOLIS – The first three games of the regular season felt easy.

High energy, quick starts and oh, all that love.

Bulls players couldn’t talk enough about all the love going around the locker room, as well as all the frequent offthe-court gatherings. Team chemistry at its finest.

“We’ll see when adversity hits,’’ veteran guard Dwyane Wade warned. “Because it’s going to hit.’’

Hit it has. And not with a subtle smack on the cheek, either. No, Saturday’s 111-94 loss to the Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse was a straight left hook to the face.

It was the third straight loss suffered by the Bulls, who have now watched that 3-0 start even out at 3-3, and suddenly have more questions than answers.

And while there was plenty of finger-pointing to go around on this latest

slip up, Jimmy Butler wants it pointed in just one direction.

“I can’t come out lackadaisical,’’ Butler said. “I’ve got to make sure everyone is doing what they’re supposed to do. I think that’s on us. That’s not even on the coaches.

“I think it’s going to have to be me to lead the charge, making sure we come out with the right energy, making sure we’re doing everything we’re supposed to do on both ends of the floor. I’m definitely capable of doing that.’’

When asked if he felt like he had been playing lackadaisically in the losing streak, Butler didn’t hide from it.

“I don’t think I’ve started off as aggressive as I should, which means I should always be the most aggressive one coming out the gates,’’ Butler said.

“That’s the way I look at it. I haven’t done that probably the last two games.

We change that and we’ll be fine. Not just on offense, but on defense as well.’’

It’s that suddenly inconsistent defense, however, that once again showed

up early on against the Pacers (3-3).

The Bulls were outscored, 31-15, in the first quarter, and then allowed another 31 points in the second quarter, going into halftime down, 62-43. In those opening 24 minutes, they allowed Indiana to shoot 26 for 43 (60.5 percent) from the field, while hurting their own cause by turning over the ball 11 times and allowing 16 points off those miscues.

“We just looked like a tired basketball team right out of the gate,’’ coach Fred Hoiberg said. “They opened up a 16-point lead, and that’s a tough hole to dig yourself out of. Gotta find a way to bounce back and get back to doing the things that made us successful early on in the season.’’

It wasn’t like Indiana wasn’t willing to try to make a comeback easier for the Bulls in the second half, as AllStar Paul George was thrown out of the game with 1:42 left in the third quarter, after he kicked a ball in frustration and it sailed into the stands, nailing a fan in the face.

16 COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ILLINOIS 31, MICHIGAN STATE 27

George’s late TD pass lifts Illini

“Obviously, I feel like I made some mistakes,” George said. “The whole point of the game is to weather the storm and keep grinding.”

Michigan State had a shot late, driving the ball to the Illinois 15. But on fourth down with 19 seconds left in the game, Illinois linebacker Hardy Nickerson and defensive end Carroll Phillips stuffed quarterback Damion Terry’s draw for a 1-yard loss.

Terry came into the game in the fourth when Tyler O’Connor left with an injury.

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – With the two quarterbacks in front of him on the depth chart down with injuries, Jeff George Jr. has spent much of his redshirt sophomore season at Illinois on mopup duty, manning the controls for a struggling offense.

But on Dads Day at Memorial Stadium, the son of longtime NFL quarterback and Illinois legend Jeff George and the Illini defense pulled off a comeback that no doubt made the elder George’s day.

George Jr. threw a touchdown pass with 1:25 left to take the lead, and with 19 seconds left Illinois’ defense came up with a fourth-down stop at its own 15 to pull out a 31-27 win Saturday.

The victory was Illinois’ (3-6, 2-4 Big Ten) first over the Spartans since 2006, and ended a two-game losing streak in which Illinois coach Lovie Smith said he forgot how the team celebrates a win.

“We had forgotten what it’s like.

They had to take me through the routine of singing the ‘Alma Mater,’” he said. “There’s no excitement like a winning locker room, just genuine emotion.”

Across the stadium from the jubilant Illinois locker room, the Spartans struggled to explain how this one got away.

THE TAKEAWAY Illinois: Illinois came into the sea-

AP photo

Illinois players celebrate in the end zone after their 31-27 victory against Michigan State on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Champaign.

The Spartans (2-7, 0-6) have lost seven straight, are off to their worst Big Ten start ever and are assured of a losing season. They dominated the game on paper, outgaining Illinois, 490304. Eight times Michigan State moved the ball to the Illinois 36-yard line or further, but turned those possessions into just two touchdowns and four field goals. Michigan State’s 10 penalties for 89 yards hurt.

“Very disappointing,” Spartans

coach Mark Dantonio said several times in his postgame news conference, shaking his head as he searched for an explanation. “You kick four field goals, that sounds good. (But) it means there’s missed opportunities in the red zone.”

George was only 13 for 29 passing for 140 yards, but he had two touchdown passes. The second touchdown was the 16-yard strike to Sam Mays that sealed the win.

son talking up its defense, then spent eight weeks struggling to stop the run and, at times, avoid penalties and other mistakes that cost the Illini games.

On Saturday, the Illini defense looked as good as initially promised. Playing with short fields and against an offense that has shown it can move the ball, defense kept the Illini in the game Saturday until the offense woke up.

Michigan State: O’Connor and Terry proved Saturday that the Spartans aren’t lost at quarterback. With Brian Lewerke out for the season, O’Connor was steady. He kept plays alive with his feet on a key third-quarter drive that ended with a touchdown and tied the game at 17-17. And when Terry came off the bench, he was cool under pressure.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NO. 8 WISCONSIN 21, NORTHWESTERN 7

Clement helps Badgers finally win in Evanston

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press EVANSTON – Corey Clement ran for 106 yards and a touchdown, Jazz Peavy scored on a 46-yard run, and No. 8 Wisconsin beat Northwestern, 21-7, Saturday.

Conor Sheehy forced a big fumble when he sacked Clayton Thorson with the Wildcats (4-5, 3-3 Big Ten) threatening early in the fourth quarter.

That led to Clements’ 2-yard TD run that made it a 14-point game and preserved the third straight win for the Badgers (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten, No. 8 CFP). It also gave them a rare victory at Northwestern after they jumped back into the Top 10 by beating Nebraska in overtime last week.

“It was just one of those things where I really wanted to beat this team,

AP photo

Wisconsin running back Corey Clement is tackled by Northwestern linebacker Brett Walsh in the first half Saturday in Evanston. and I’m glad we got to do that,” Peavy said.

Clement had 32 carries – three shy of his career high.

Peavy’s 46-yarder in the second quarter was the first rushing touchdown of his career. He also had 73 yards receiving and a 24-yard punt return.

Alex Hornibrook played most of the game and completed 11 of 19 passes for 92 yards, and the Badgers rolled up 333 yards while dominating the and time of possession (40:25-19:35).

Northwestern had won six of 10 against Wisconsin, including four straight at home. But after coming up short in a four-point loss at Ohio State last week, the Wildcats lost again to a Top 10 team.

Thorson went 28 of 52 for 277 yards and a touchdown.

Austin Carr added 132 yards receiving, including a 13-yard TD late in the first half, but Justin Jackson ran for only 42 yards.

“I think we’re just tired of being

close,” Carr said. “We want to push through. ... When we beat ourselves, we can’t beat two teams in the same day – especially against such a good team as Wisconsin.”

Wisconsin had not won at Ryan Field since 1999. But several big plays by Peavy and a fumble recovery by D’Cota Dixon with Northwestern threatening early in the fourth helped change that.

The Wildcats drove to the 19 early in the quarter, but got pushed back to the 30 by a holding penalty against Eric Olson and a 1-yard loss for Jackson.

Things only got worse for Northwestern on the next play when Thorson fumbled as he was sacked by Sheehy.

Dixon returned the recovery 22 yards to the Wildcats 45, and Clement ran it in from the 2. The two-point conversion run by Alec Ingold made it 21-14 with 8:51 left.

18 COLLEGE WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL: NJCAA DIVISION II REGION IV TOURNAMENT

Scots take title, return to nationals

By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com

If McHenry County College wasn’t already competing on the level of an NJCAA Division II women’s volleyball powerhouse, the Scots certainly are now.

MCC, the No. 11 team in the country, swept both of its matches Saturday in the Region IV playoffs at the College of Lake County in Grayslake to capture the district championship and send the Scots back to the national tournament Nov. 17 to 19 in Charleston, West Virginia.

The two-time defending Illinois

Skyway Collegiate Conference champions have qualified for the national tournament in back-to-back years.

Last year’s team was the first since 2009 to make it.

The Scots (28-12) didn’t drop a single set in two matches, beating Black Hawk College, 25-21, 25-22, 25-20, in the semifinals, and defeating Waubonsee, 28-26, 25-14, 25-20, in the final.

“It’s kind of a privileged position of no matter who we play, we always seem to get their best,” Scots coach Kyle McCall said. “The first match was our third time playing [Black Hawk], and it was the best that they’ve played against us. Waubon-

see came out really emotional, and I think we kind of took the wind out of their sails by being persistent and coming out with that first game win.”

Against Black Hawk, Sommer Rhea had 18 kills and four digs, Jacobs graduate Kyla Fitzsimmons had eight kills, two blocks and 15 digs, Amanda Sagen added 13 digs, Payton Traff passed out 37 assists, and Kayli Trausch (Cary-Grove) had seven kills.

Rhea had 18 kills and 13 digs in the championship match against Waubonsee, Fitzsimmons had 13 kills and 18 digs, Sagen had 14 digs, Traff had 44 assists, and Trausch had six kills and three blocks.

“We had so many fantastic individual efforts that it was hard to beat us today,” McCall said.

The Scots aren’t sure who they will play at the national tournament, but McCall thinks MCC will be a No. 7 to 11 seed when those come out later in the week. At last year’s nationals, they went 1-2, dropping their first match in the double-elimination tournament.

“With this group having one sophomore [Trausch] and being a really young team, it was a brand new experience, McCall said. “They’re pumped; they’re excited. They feel like they can compete with anybody.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NAVY 28, NOTRE DAME 27

Ohio St. routs Nebraska Middies run out clock, The ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS, Ohio – Curtis Samuel had 178 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, including a 75-yard touchdown reception on Ohio State’s first play of the second half, and the sixth-ranked Buckeyes dominated No. 9 Nebraska, 62-3, Saturday night.

After three straight weeks of close games and inconsistent offense, the Buckeyes (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) put forth their best performance of the season, led 31-3 at the half and handed the Cornhuskers (7-2, 4-2) their most lopsided loss since 2004.

Nebraska lost quarterback Tommy Armstrong to a scary head injury in the second quarter, when the senior slammed the side of his helmet on the turf after being knocked out of bounds.

Armstrong was taken from the stadium in an ambulance, but returned to the sideline in sweats in the third quarter.

No. 2 Michigan 59, Maryland 3: At Ann Arbor, Michigan, Wilton Speight finished with a career-high 362 yards after accounting for three touchdowns in the first half, helping Michigan build a huge lead before coasting to a win over Maryland.

The Wolverines (9-0, 6-0, No. 3 CFP) scored touchdowns on all five of their drives in the first half.

The Terrapins (5-4, 2-4) hit the right upright on a field goal, came up 1 yard short of a TD at the end of the first half and failed to convert a trio of fourth downs. Even with those potential 10 points and first downs, they didn’t really have much of an opportunity to pull off an upset against a balanced offense and swarming defense.

No. 20 Penn State 41, Iowa 14: At State

College, Pennsylvania, Saquon Barkley accounted for 211 all-purpose yards, scored two touchdowns and No. 20 Penn State beat Iowa 41-14 on Saturday night.

Quarterback Trace McSorley completed 11 of 18 passes for 240 yards and two touchdowns and added 40 rushing yards and another score on 14 carries for the Nittany Lions, who won their fifth straight Big Ten game for the first time since 2011.

The Nittany Lions (7-2, 5-1 Big Ten) scored on seven of 11 possessions and kept the pressure on after leading 24-7 at halftime.

Minnesota 44, Purdue 31: At Minneapolis, Rodney Smith ran for 153 yards and three touchdowns, and quarterback Mitch Leidner ran for 74 yards and two more scores as Minnesota defeated Purdue (3-6, 1-5).

Smith topped the 100-yard mark for the fourth straight game and sixth time this season as Minnesota (7-2, 4-2 in the Big Ten) won its fourth straight.

Purdue quarterback David Blough threw four first-half touchdown passes. He ended the day with 391 passing yards, the fifth time he’s passed for at least 300 yards this year.

Indiana 33, Rutgers 27: At Piscataway, New Jersey, Devine Redding gave Indiana the lead with a 34-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter and caught Richard Lagow’s third touchdown pass of the game in the fourth as the error-prone Hoosiers rallied for a win over Rutgers (2-7, 0-6).

Lagow was 28 of 40 for 394 yards.

He hit Ricky Jones for a 36-yard score and started the second-half rally for Indiana (5-4, 3-3) with a 40-yard TD toss to Camion Patrick.

end drought vs. Irish

By MARK LONG The Associated Press JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Navy’s final fourth-down play worked to perfection. Just don’t bother asking coach Ken Niumatalolo how it played out.

“I had my eyes closed. I was praying,” Niumatalolo said. “It obviously worked out great.”

It helped Navy earn a rare win against Notre Dame.

Will Worth ran for 175 yards and two touchdowns, his eighth consecutive game with a rushing score, and the Midshipmen beat the Fighting Irish, 28-27, Saturday in the nation’s longest-running intersectional rivalry.

Navy (6-2) won its fourth game against Notre Dame since 1963. The Irish (3-6) had won five in a row in the series.

“We’re kind of in euphoria, Cloud 9 right now having beaten Notre Dame,” Niumatalolo said. “I’ve been here a long time. We’ve had some crushing defeats to these guys. To be able to finally come out on top, it feels so good.”

Irish coach Brian Kelly deserved some of the blame for this one. Trailing 28-24 with a little more than seven minutes to go, Kelly opted for a 31-yard field goal instead of trying to convert a fourth-and-4 play at the 14. He made the call even though his defense hadn’t forced a punt all afternoon.

“Well, certainly thought about going for it,” Kelly said. “Now in hindsight, it’s something that we didn’t get

the ball back. But 28-27 made sense to me at the time. Even if they score a touchdown, we still have the opportunity to score and get the two-point conversion. ... But those are the decisions you got to make.

“Again, I don’t question the decision to go for the field goal other than the fact that we couldn’t get the ball back.”

Navy got the ball and ran out the clock with its triple-option offense.

Worth converted two huge fourthdown plays on the final drive, one on a dive play near midfield and another with a pass to Jamir Tillman that essentially ended it.

Worth took a knee after that, setting off a raucous celebration that surely will continue through the weekend.

“There are no words for that (win),” Tillman said. “Every year we get so close. But close only matters in horseshoes. So it feels crazy to bet them my senior year and to go out just how we did.”

Tillman finished with four receptions for 41 yards. Worth notched with his fourth straight 100-yard rushing performance and fifth of the season.

“The kid’s playing phenomenal,” Niumatalolo said. “We’re where we’re at right now because of Will Worth.

He’s given our team belief the way he plays, tough, hard-nosed and he’s created an edge on our football team. We’re a scrappy team that’s not going to back down from anybody. A lot of that edge comes from the way he plays.”

You can bet your eye-teeth the system works When I was an 18-year-old kid just out of high school, I sat in a room and listened to a man give an orientation a day or two before my college classes were scheduled to begin.

“Everybody look at the person on either side of you,” he said. I glanced at the girl on my left and the guy on my right.

“According to statistics for incoming freshmen,” the man said, “one of you will be gone by the end of this year. Of the two remaining, only one will graduate.”

“That’s bad news,” I whispered to the guy on my right. I jerked my thumb toward the girl on my left. “She looks pretty smart.”

I graduated with a degree four years later. Go figure.

I don’t really know what happened to those other freshmen, but the man’s predictions seemed accurate. A lot of students I knew over those four years fell by the wayside. Some went home that first Thanksgiving and never came back. Others made it to Christmas or spring break before vanishing. Sophomore year was like starting over with new friends.

Who could predict who would graduate and who wouldn’t?

It would be easy to say it was all about intelligence, but that wasn’t it. My high school grades were slightly better than mediocre, and I watched students much smarter than me drop out.

And it would be easy to say it was all about your family’s heritage and income, but that wasn’t it either. My father was a steel-mill worker with an eighth-grade education, the son of German immigrants, and my mother was a stay-at-home mom. I was just the second in my family to attend college, and the first to finish. There was no family money to help – my education was funded by summer jobs, part-time work after classes and a small scholarship I earned with application essays and interviews.

So if it isn’t brains, heritage or wealth, what’s the key to ending up on the right side of that brutal graduation equation?

Well, it took me a lifetime to figure it

out, but I think I know.

Before I tell you the answer, let me tell you a seemingly unrelated tale I think holds the key.

It happened when I was just 6 or 7 years old. I had just lost a tooth, and as luck would have it, so had my brother Bill, who was three years older. We both put them under our pillows for the Tooth Fairy to find.

But the following morning, when I pulled a quarter out from under my pillow, my brother found a quarter and a dime under his.

“Hey, what gives?” I griped.

“Well,” Mom said, “I guess the Tooth Fairy knows that older boys need a little more money to buy things they want.”

“But that’s not fair,” I groused. “A tooth is a tooth.”

“You’ll get that much when you’re his age,” she said, and the matter was settled – for her, but not for me.

Because the next time I lost a tooth, I put it into an empty aspirin bottle and tucked it into my underwear drawer.

“Um … what are you doing?” Mom asked.

“Saving my teeth for when they’re worth more money,” I said.

“Oh, I don’t think you should do that,” she said.

But I wouldn’t listen. One by one, I saved my baby teeth to cash them in later, when they would draw bigger dividends – a word I wouldn’t learn until long after the Tooth Fairy stopped coming around, leaving me with a little jarful of non-interest-bearing teeth.

Although tooth-caching turned out to be a bad investment, the concept was worth its weight in gold. Years later, I learned it’s called “deferred gratification” – the willingness to delay immediate satisfaction for the promise greater gains may come through sacrifice and patience.

Right after high school, it was hard to watch my buddies snap up minimum-wage salaries and buy their first cars, which they then used as bait to lure girlfriends whose highest goal in life was to go parking with a minimum-wage guy in a junker.

Meanwhile, I was a car-less college

freshman, paying for the privilege of sitting through boring class after class, but with the hope of someday cashing in an education for something more.

And in time, all that came true. I met my wife in college, then became a teacher (as she did) and raised a family, all the time continuing our education and raising our pay. I still was taking classes at age 40, and working with hundreds of colleagues with stories just like mine.

My wife and I retired in our mid-50’s, and though we are far from wealthy, we live a comfortable, secure, satisfying life.

And it had nothing to do with intelligence, family heritage or wealth. It had everything to do with the stubbornness to stay on the boring-go-round, even while others were jumping off for more immediate gratification. It gave our parents pride to watch us achieve what all of us would agree was the American Dream.

There are those who believe the American Dream is broken, the system rigged. According to recent polling demographics, those most likely to hold those beliefs are folks who ended their education right after high school, or even earlier.

To my school-age grandchildren and their young friends, I say: You can wallow in excuses and despair like that, or you can embrace hope and proven history on your way to a good life.

It won’t be easy. But you still can do it.

It’s not surprising poorly educated Americans want to overthrow the system they feel is rigged against them. Had they stayed in school longer, they may have learned the American Dream offers the greatest reward to those with enough foresight, rigor and determination to defer gratification just a little bit longer – through education.

It always has been “rigged” that way.

It still is.

It always should be.

NORTHWEST HERALD UNION – Barbara Peterson, owner of the Attic Window in Walworth, Wisconsin, will present “Our Women and Their Quilts” at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum.

Peterson, a charter member of Country Quilters in McHenry and a veteran quilter of 24 years, will showcase examples from her collection of an estimated 100 quilts, as well as quilts from others living in the area, most of which will have ties to McHenry County, including several prominent families.

“The quilts reflect the quilter,” Peterson, of Prairie Grove, said in a news release. “The ladies’ workmanship is just fantastic – the tiny stitches, hand-piecing and hand appliqué. … I love it when I get a quilt with provenance. It’s just neat to have the story.”

The rare, vintage quilts date from the 1880s to the 1940s, including a reproduction of an 1809 quilt sewn by Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of this nation’s 16th president, the year of Abraham Lincoln’s birth.

“They used these quilts,” Peterson said. “The Lincoln quilt was used all the time. They were on the bed. They were washed. There may be some minor staining.”

The colors may fade – particularly since brighter, more desirable colors did not arrive until the 1930s – nor are

Barb Peterson holds a 1930s-era quilt using a Boston Commons pattern. Behind her is the latest Heritage Quilters’ effort, titled “Pieceful Garden.” The latter is being raffled off to raise money for the McHenry County Historical Society. The drawing will be at 3:30 p.m.

Nov. 11 at the museum in Union. many of the older quilts signed, unless they were done as a wedding gift or to benefit a charity. Nevertheless, according to the news release, the workmanship has stood the test of time.

“The fabric dates them. Sometimes it can be two or three generations before they got finished,” Peterson said. “To me they are gorgeous just as they are.”

Before the program, members of the Gazebo Quilters Guild in Huntley will present valor quilts to several veter-

ans. Area quilters launched a Quilts of Valor program in 2011. Since that time the group of about 50 quilters have presented more than 900 patriotic quilts to deserving veterans.

A raffle will be held to win a handstitched “Pieceful Garden” quilt sewn by the society’s Heritage Quilters.

Raffle tickets are $1 each or six for $5, with all proceeds benefiting the McHenry County Historical Society & Museum. The drawing will be at about 3:30 p.m. The winner need not be pres-

The husband named MVP of grocery shopping I don’t know what it is about women, but sometimes they challenge you without even raising their voice. And so, I find myself at the local supermarket instead of lying on the couch telekinetically coaching Notre Dame to a much-needed win.

First item on the list: Tuna. I look up and see I am standing next to an entire aisle marked “Canned Fish.” Easiest job ever, I think. Spanning from one end to the other is every imaginable combination of tuna. Chunk tuna. Whole tuna. Tuna in oil. Tuna in water. A can that touts “lowest mercury of any brand!” That seems to be a contender – until I spy “Hickory Smoked” tuna. “How much mercury can tuna have anyway?” I reason, opting for flavor over safety.

I head to the meat and cheese counter.

“23?” a hair-netted deli worker calls out.

I move forward. “I’ll have a half of a pound of ...,” I start to say before I am jabbed hard in the solar plexus with the business end of a heavy mahogany cane. I follow the length of the cane back. It is wielded by an elderly lady, with short cropped white hair, wearing a black Ozzy Osbourne “Flying High Again 1984” T-shirt, plaid Bermuda shorts and sandals with “Hello Kitty” anklet socks.

“There are rules here, sonny!” she sneers and points with her cane at a number dispenser on the counter.

I know when I’m out-gunned and pull a number – 68. When my number finally is called, I find I lost it. I pat myself down, trying to show the deli lady I really possessed a number. She ignores me. I give up and start down the soup aisle. At the opposite end, coming toward me, is a Jessica Alba lookalike. California Girls cues up in my head. I suck my gut in and flex all of my upper body muscles, making those push-ups I did last month pay off. I hold my breath and isometric contortion, while barely pushing the

cart. Jessica smiles. I smile back ... and crash into a soup display, sending cans of Tuscan Chicken Noodle in every direction. I oversteer and smash smack into the cart of the elderly lady I cut ahead of in the deli line.

“So, you want to play do you, little boy? Well then, let’s play!” she says, as she backs up about 15 feet, building up stored energy like a human jar of Geritol, and then drives her cart full-force into mine.

When my cart lands, I do a 180 and race to the next aisle. I hold the side of my cart, trying to catch my breath. I look up. Twinkies! My wife said they stopped making them. I make a mental note that a discussion on food honesty will need to take place.

In the meantime, I grab a box each of banana-, chocolate- and chocolate crème-filled Twinkies.

I turn down the freezer aisle and realize my shopping list is now lost. I close my eyes and try to remember what was on the list. I open my eyes. I’m sure the mini-quesadillas were on the list. I open the freezer door and grab a box. Before I shut the door, I also grab a box of mini-chimichangas. And then some mini-bagel bites.

I know dog food was on the list. My wife always gets the most expensive canned dog food. I can’t remember the brand, but realize dogs have lived thousands, maybe millions of years without gourmet canned food. I do some quick math and grab a 50-pound bag of “Mutt’s Choice.” $3.99. I am a consumer genius.

I get home, and immediately my wife asks what took so long.

“Comparative shopping,” I answer.

She begins to put away the groceries. “Where is the yogurt I had on the list?” she demands as she pulls out a family-sized bag of pork rinds. “And the steel-cut oatmeal?” she says, holding up a jumbo

pack of Bacon Barbecue Hot Pockets. “Did you buy any vegetables at all?”

She rifles through the other bags and begins stacking the contents on the counter. Salsa Con Queso Cheez Whiz. Jack Link’s Teriyaki Beef Jerky.

A Cinnabon Baking Kit. That one catches my kids’ attention, and they come over and start rummaging through the remaining bags.

“Boom Chocolatta Cookie Core Ice Cream!” my son yells.

“What? Frosted S’more Pop Tarts! I love these!” my daughter exclaims.

“Skittles Mega Pack!” my other son says, showing off his find. “Can Dad always do the shopping?”

“Who actually did the shopping? A 12-year-old?” my wife barks (clearly jealous of the shifting fan base). She puts on her coat and grabs her purse.

“Where are you going?” I ask.

“To do the grocery shopping!”

“I already did the shopping!” I say, pointing to the spread of items around which my kids were cheering.

“For a fraternity!” She opens the garage door.

“Perfectionism is a disorder!” I yell to my micro-managing spouse.

“So is impulsivity!” she fires back.

The slam of the garage door startles my children, and they stop celebrating for a brief moment, then look at each other, start laughing, and pass around a box of Zombie Green Krispy Kremes. Even the squealing of the tires on the driveway cannot derail the moment, and I realize I am the real MVP.

Social ties, friendships proven to boost mental health The first comment about a school shooter, home-grown terrorist or other malcontent that makes headline news is from people who knew him who cluck their tongues and shake their heads. “He was always a loner,” they say.

We are meant to live with others.

Our very humanity, the ability to empathize, bond and succeed in life all depend on our ability to connect meaningfully with others. When we are infants, the first thing our parents notice is whether or not we make eye contact with them. Do we smile back when they smile at us? If so, we have met the first of a long list of important milestones.

If we don’t smile back or make eye contact, our worried parents take us to the pediatrician who mentions Autism Spectrum Disorder.

By the time we are ready for first grade, we probably already have a “best friend,” our first outside-the-family meaningful relationship. Friendships help us to define what is important in relationships and in life. When we are

6, we value puppies; when we are 10, it’s baseball (which falls in importance until we are in our 70s and the Cubs make it to the World Series). If we fail in any of these endeavors, our parents may take us to a counselor to see why we are not learning basic social skills.

As we grow and begin to spend more time away from our family, the groups and larger associations we are a part of help to define us. If we do not fit into any clearly defined group, and if we cannot find others of our ilk, we eat lunch alone and read a book, pretending we haven’t noticed our loneliness.

If we are lucky, someone else who likes to read will join us. We will exchange our favorite books and create another group based on shared interests. But, if we do not, people start referring to us as loners and looking askance.

We travel in our adolescent packs until we find our perfect mate, and then we associate only with other couples.

Again, we select other couples who are like us – a part of the same social groups, special interest groups and so

People who are not connected are more likely to commit suicide. People who are alienated also are more likely to hurt others, to abuse drugs and alcohol and to engage in dangerous or criminal activities. Happy, well-adjusted, mentally healthy people do not cause mischief, generally, whereas unhappy, mal-adjusted, mentally unstable people may.

Loneliness is not obvious. You may never know the effect of a friendly word, a shared smile, a kind gesture.

But more than once I have heard from one of my clients the only reason they are alive today is because someone noticed them and included them, however briefly, in their life, and that was enough to give them hope.

So, go out there and make eye contact. And, play nicely in that sandbox.

We’re counting on you.

on. Or, we fail to find the perfect mate, and people began to wonder why it is we aren’t doing what everybody else in the world is doing at our age. Maybe we seek out therapy for ourselves at this point. Our therapist says we are depressed or having social anxiety or some other mental health diagnosis.

If we have met all these milestones and then suddenly change, stop interacting with others and stop paying attention to our hygiene or dress so we no longer fit with our community, our friends and family become alarmed and insist we see a psychiatrist to be evaluated.

So, you see, a great deal of importance throughout life depends on our ability to connect with other people.

That is why, when clients come to see me, I want to know about their associations, relationships, where they turn for support and how they feel about their connections to the human family.

I want to connect them to support groups, to community resources and to others who share their interests.

Serviceable skills

Alden-Hebron students learning to sew create poppies for Veterans Day

By LINDSAY WEBER editorial@nwherald.com

W

hen Alden-Hebron Middle School special education teacher Melissa Leach was asked to come up with a program she was passionate about, she knew her life-long love of sewing really could benefit her students.

“I said they need arts and crafts,” Leach said. “Sewing is a skill they need to have. Forget about the creativity and fun and the all other wonderful virtues for a moment. If I taught them anything, it’s to keep an open mind on what you are learning. That’s my foremost reason for teaching.”

Her enrichment program, which runs every six weeks, is open to all students. Now in its second session, students are showing their patriotism in addition to learning a valuable life skill. They are sewing poppies to show their support for those who have defended the country. The poppies are sewn out of felt, and pipe cleaners will be used for the stems.

The poppies, symbols of death, life and remembrance, will be given to veterans in attendance of the school’s Veterans Day program Nov. 11. The program will start with a breakfast in the middle school gym and will include performances by a military choir, poetry readings and re-enactments.

Eighth-grader Anais Lopez said she is proud to participate in the Veterans Day program because she likes to help out and wants to honor the veterans.

She said she always has been interested in sewing because a lot of her family members sew.

“It was either sewing or chorus. I chose sewing, but I wasn’t so sure,” Lopez said. “I wanted to try something new. I like how sewing makes me feel stress-free at the end of the day, and I enjoy the teacher.”

Leach grew up in a theatrical family and had a modeling and acting career for a brief period, but she had dreams of turning her sewing hobby into a career by becoming a costume designer. She said her parents told her she would starve. She was told the same when she toyed with the idea of becoming a home ec teacher.

Leach eventually went into general education but never gave up on her hopes to share her hobby with her students. She was influenced by a book she read years ago that said kids today don’t know how to do arts and

“So I taught a lesson last year with my special education class that involved making stockings,” Leach said.

“We ended up with over 113 stockings,

and we sold them and split the proceeds with the school. What that told me was that special education students respond to sewing. The response has been quite amazing.”

Lopez said at first she was afraid to try sewing because she thought she might fail.

Continued from page 6 Now, she is confident in honing her new skill and said she enjoys sewing with her grandmother.

“I got so into it,” Lopez said. “You can do things even when you think you can’t. Don’t give up.”

Leach said she sees examples of such enthusiasm and confidence from many of her students and feels gratified at the success of her idea.

“I told them, ‘trust me you’re going to like this’, and you hope you’re not lying,” Leach said. “I’ve come into classrooms where kids don’t want to be there, but with this class these kids get ahead of me. They’re at the sewing machines already when I walk in.

“You hope that you know what you’re doing when you take something like this on. It’s gratifying to see they’re getting a big kick out of it. It’s working. It’s just working. It’s very rewarding.”

Gem Talk Holiday Diamonds

Did you know that the most popular day of the year to “pop the question” is on Christmas Eve? That’s right, 32% of all marriage proposals are done on Santa’s busiest night of the year. Buying an engagement ring, or a diamond upgrade; think 25th anniversary, takes a little planning, but with a little bit of guidance and some diamond essentials you can get the perfect ring for your perfect someone. Here are a few tips to help you add some sparkle to your holidays.

Gem Talk

By Karly Bulinski

It’s all about the cut and not the size.

A diamond that is cut well, to perfect proportions, is going to sparkle more and look bigger.

When light enters a diamond that is cut well, it is able to bounce around the facets at the perfect angles and exit the stone through the table instead of through the sides or the bottom creating the most exquisite sparkle and fire.

Extra facets do not make a diamond sparkle more, it just gives them a different appearance.

The amount of light that enters the diamond is going to be the same no matter how many facets are on the diamond. A round diamond traditionally has 33 facets on its crown, so if we add 16 more we will get a diamond that splits up the light and sparkle into 49 parts instead of 33. But if the same amount of light is going into the diamond, the same amount of light exits it as well. Meaning that there is no more brilliance and sparkle, it’s just being split up into smaller pieces. So what you get is 49 small flashes of light instead of 33 bigger ones. It’s the same amount of light, no more, no less; it’s just being split up to exit the stone differently.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Chances are you met your future spouse in person before you came to the decision to propose. Even if you started your relationship online, you talked on the phone for countless hours and went out on dates and maybe even decided to live together first. At the end of the day, you did not pick out your soul mate from a well written online description without first meeting in person, so why choose her diamond that way? There are jobs where people write dazzling jewelry descriptions all day long for online retailers. It’s their job to get you to want to buy their jewelry without seeing it first. But when you are planning on spending 3 months worth of your hard earned salary on a diamond you better be sure it looks as good as it sounds. Buying a diamond at a brick and mortar jewelry store is the way to do just that. You can see and touch several different diamonds to make sure that you are buying the perfect ring for your love.

Dear Mr./Mrs. President

Bernotas Middle School seventh-graders pen letters to candidates

T

NORTHWEST HERALD

hey may not have a vote, but they still have a voice.

Seventh-graders at Bernotas Middle School in Crystal Lake care about the big issues – gun control, racial profiling, the environment, women’s rights and more – and they are writing letters to the future president to let him or her know.

Belinda Strebel’s language arts class submitted their letters to Letters to the Next President 2.0 along with about 1,800 other letters from students across the country. The online writing and publishing venture, sponsored by the National Writing Project and news outlet KQED, capitalizes on young people’s interest in their communities and futures, especially during this fall election season, according to a news release.

“When we give students a platform to speak out on issues, we provide them with a powerful and genuine purpose for learning, writing and media making,” said NWP Executive Director Elyse Ediman-Aadahl. “Through the power and reach of digital publishing the initiative provides the nation with a real-time window into what teens care about.”

Strebel, who assigned the letter writing project to her students, said she was happy to see the letters spark an interest, and noted that her students have begun asking questions about the election process, the candidates and the government’s role in their lives.

“Students come to seventh grade with a strong sense of justice and curiosity about the world around them,” she said. “Even if they aren’t into politics, there are usually a few issues that they feel strongly about. This letter campaign allowed the kids to see the connection between the issues they care about and our government’s responsibility to enact positive change.”

That was true of Emma Kropke, one of Strebel’s students.

“At first I didn’t want to do this because I’m not much into politics,” she said. “But it ended up being kind of fun because I got to write about global warming. It’s a topic I’ve always been interested in.”

Kropke noted that her passion for global warming stems from her love of animals and watching “Animal Planet” when she was younger.

“I think global warming is important because it affects everything,” she said. “It really bothers me that some people think global warming is fake. I’ve learned about it my entire life, and I know it’s real.”

All of the published letters submitted from across the country will be available to the public now through the new president’s first 100 days in office in early 2017.

half of women are the sole source of income for their families, and due to their low wages, their families are on the brink of poverty?

During the Problem Solvers Convention, you stated to a female audience member that, “You’re gonna make the same if you do as good as a job.” You assume women make less because they don’t put in the same effort as men. What about a single mother with a family to take care of? She works as hard as her male counterpart, but still can’t make the same amount of money.

You assumed that this woman doesn’t work “as good.” That’s an appalling assumption.

It doesn’t have to be this way. The U.S. could be the country with equal pay, and equal rights for all genders, male and female. This could make us powerful, not weak.

Though it may seem impossible for the wage gap to vanish, there are many solutions to solve this important issue today. First, we must raise more awareness about the gap in general. If we don’t voice our opinions, we will never have them heard. The more we talk about it, the more motivated we will be in closing the gap. Also, we could raise the overall minimum wage. About two-thirds of minimum paying jobs are occupied by women, and many of these women are struggling to make ends meet. Additionally, access to affordable child care would allow women to work longer hours.

This would prevent employers from assuming women are not ambitious or deserving of promotions just because they take time off for their families.

As the potential next president of the USA, you have the ability to fight for the laws you want, especially for the women who have been fighting since 1848 for their equality. I agree. Let’s make America great again. Let’s start with closing the gender wage gap.

Sincerely, Izma Casubhoy

Camouflage provides distorted view of self I think we all have blind spots. We don’t see ourselves the way others see us. We have psychological mechanisms to protect ourselves from hurtful or disturbing thoughts, memories or behaviors, but as we mature, some people naturally “come to terms” with the disturbances. They learn to moderate, look honestly at and change or accept these things.

Some, however, do not. Some people find ways to avoid, forget or deny uncomfortable things, and the denial becomes a way of life. As it turns out, alcohol, among other drugs, is an excellent “temporary forgetter.”

I was talking to a gentleman we’ll call “Bill” a few weeks ago. Bill was uncertain about whether he had an alcohol problem but was pretty sure

he was misunderstood by his wife and knew for sure his 17-year-old son had a drug problem.

Bill saw himself as a reasonably responsible parent and a good provider. He saw himself as a good worker who drank with the guys sometimes a little too much. He had quit drinking several times before, and although he knew it could get out of control sometimes, he really didn’t see himself as an alcoholic. After all, he thought, he didn’t drink as much as some of his friends, and he clearly didn’t drink like his mother did; she died of it.

Bill could list the reasons why he wasn’t an alcoholic and often recited this list to family and friends. It never occurred to him if there wasn’t

already an issue there would be no need for the list.

Bill did not see himself the way others saw him. He was camouflaged from himself. The reality was Bill had been a daily drinker for most of his marriage. His wife long ago had given up trying to compete with alcohol for his attention and was angry, hurt and resentful. Bill had little awareness of the changes that occurred when he drank. He became short-tempered and critical, often picking fights to justify a trip to the liquor store. His son had taken his hurt to withdrawal into his own room, his own world and his own drugs.

At work, Bill was known for his “know-it-all” attitude and was unpop-

ular with fellow employees and supervisors alike. His attendance was always one missed day away from discipline. Bill’s idea of a good husband and a good father had shrunk to “bringing home the paycheck,” then complaining all they wanted was his money. Bill has a ways to go to uncover his original camouflage. He can start by removing the anesthetic and beginning to see himself the way others see him.
