GOP set to gain 4 seats in Illinois House, but is tax hike still coming?

One item that flew under the radar Tuesday because of Donald Trump’s historic win is that Republicans appear to have picked up a net four seats in the Illinois House, ending Democrats’ and Speaker Michael Madigan’s veto-proof supermajority.

It still might not be enough to head off a huge tax increase, however.

For the past two years, Democrats have held 71 seats in the House, the exact number needed to override a veto from Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. Thankfully during that time, state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, served as a swing vote of sorts. Franks’ opposition to any tax increases essentially blocked Madigan from attempting to pass a progressive tax and/or a millionaire’s tax, which Rauner promised to veto. Without Franks’ support for a veto override, Madigan didn’t call either plan for a vote.

According to still unofficial election results, Democrats appear to have won 67 House seats Tuesday, a loss of four, and Republicans appear to have won 51. Republican Steve Reick of Woodstock can be counted as one of the pickups. He won the seat vacated by Franks, who instead ran for McHenry County Board chairman, which he won decisively.

State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, hopes the Republican pickups in the House force action in Springfield, but he’s still worried about a potential tax increase, as we all should be.

“What I’m hoping it’s going to do is put pressure on the leaders of both parties to make us do our job, which is to adopt a balanced budget with no tax increase,” McSweeney said Wednesday.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Dan McCaleb But McSweeney’s heard rumblings that a vote on a tax increase could be coming now that the election is over.

“There’s already talk today about a grand compromise and grand bargain,” McSweeney told me. “Make no mistake, that’s code for a massive tax increase. That’s what I’m most concerned about. ... The message nationally and locally from [Tuesday’s election] is people do not want higher taxes. The Republican Party must stand on lower taxes and lower spending.”

McSweeney, who ran unopposed this election, also was critical of lawmakers from both parties who have participated in “secret meeting groups” in attempts to come to a compromise on a tax increase.

“The other message from [Tuesday],” he said, “people don’t want politics as usual. They want transparency. If you favor a tax increase and think one’s needed, come out publicly and say why.”

Lawmakers are scheduled to be in Springfield next week for their fall veto session. Be ready to let your elected representative know what you think about them raising your taxes.

TRUMP WIN RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT CLIMATE DEAL

MARRAKECH, Morocco – The election of a U.S. president who has called global warming a “hoax” alarmed environmentalists and climate scientists and raised questions Wednesday about whether the United States, once again, would pull out of an international climate deal.

Several scientists warned that Earth will likely reach dangerous levels of warming if President-elect Donald Trump fulfills his campaign pledges to undo the Obama administration’s climate policies.

Many people at U.N. climate talks in Morocco said it’s now up to the rest of the world to lead efforts to rein in greenhouse gas emissions. Others held out hope that Trump would change his stance and honor U.S. commitments under the Paris Agreement.

Republican, Democratic parties weigh in on historic results locally, nationally

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com The nation’s deep divide that ended early Wednesday morning with an election upset for the ages was reflected in local turnout.

While Republican President-elect Donald Trump carried McHenry County, he did so with just under 50 percent of the popular vote, with Hillary Clinton not too far behind with 42 percent, according to unofficial totals. Libertarian Gary Johnson won just under 5 percent, with the remaining 3 percent H.

And like voters nationally, who not McHenry, watch as results are posted Tuesday at Marzano’s in McHenry.

only elected Trump but also gave the GOP continued control of Congress, McHenry County voters – almost – did the same for local candidates.

Republican candidates won 11 of 12 County Board races, kept the 66th House District in GOP hands with the impending retirement of Rep. Mike Tryon, and Republican candidate Steven Reick won the 63rd House District seat that had been held for 18 years by Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks. But the Republican Party’s gain resulted in a high-profile black eye – Franks instead ran for County Board chairman, handily defeating Republican candidate Mike

WOODSTOCK – In what a McHenry County judge called a “horrible, diabolical and unforgivable” act, a McHenry man was sentenced to 49 years in prison for fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend and entombing her body in a room in his home.

“At one time in your life you may have been a good person, but I don’t know what happened to you,” Judge Sharon Prather said Wednesday during a sentencing hearing.

Jurors found William J. Ross, 65, guilty in July of the first-degree murder of Jacqueline Schaefer. The petite woman with long blonde hair was shot in the left temporal lobe and spine sometime in 2011, sealed in William J. a bedroom in Ross’ McHen- Ross ry home, 518 Country Club Drive, and then abandoned after he continued to live there for several months, prosecutors said.

First-degree murder is a crime punishable by at least 20 years and up to 60 years in prison. The jury also found the crime was committed with a firearm, which required a sentence of at least 25 years in prison.

Ross was arrested in 2013 in Las Vegas and charged with concealing a homicide before he was charged with murder in

“He will seek out another Jackie.

He may not be stupid enough to kill her, but he will abuse [someone else]. [A lengthy sentence] won’t bring Jackie back, but it will protect other women from him.”

Tracy Flathau Sister of murder victim Jacqueline Schaefer in a victim impact statement 2014. The concealing a homicide charged was dismissed before trial.

Schaefer’s remains were found behind a sealed bedroom door by Ross’ friend, Renee Bitton, and her then-boyfriend, Jerome Mikos, on Nov. 6, 2013.

Ross and his attorney, Stephen Richards, said the jury’s verdict was based on “unsatisfactory and improbable evidence” because they believed there was no clear evidence that connected Ross to Schaefer’s death. Richards said his client plans to appeal.

Prather said she believed the evidence presented at trial was overwhelming. She sentenced Ross to 24 years on the first-degree murder charge and 25 years for the firearm enhancement. He must serve 100 percent of the sentence.

“I have no doubt that [the jury] got the verdict correct,” Prather said.

Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs said the defendant deserved more than the minimum sentence of 45 years, describing him as a misogynist who hates women.

“You have to have ice water in your veins to be that cold-blooded,” Combs said.

Combs also read a victim impact statement on behalf of Schaefer’s sister, Tracy Flathau. Flathau wrote that her sister was by definition a loner who didn’t have a large network of friends. While she struggled with alcoholism and paranoia, Flathau described her sister as someone who would give the shirt off her back to someone in need.

She said she and several family members, including Schaefer, would travel to the Ozarks for annual family trips where they would camp, fish and eat a lot.

Flathau said Schaefer didn’t completely drift away from family until she moved back to Illinois and began renting from Ross. She said Ross likely believed he picked someone “no one would miss,” but she wanted to make it known that Schaefer was in fact missed by many.

“He will seek out another Jackie. He may not be stupid enough to kill her, but he will abuse [someone else],” she wrote. “[A lengthy sentence] won’t bring Jackie back, but it will protect other women from him.”

Laura Franz, who joined TLS as its executive director in July 2015 after working in child welfare services, said that despite the organization’s 20-year existence, not enough people know about it.

“We want people to know that we are here. We are simply a phone call away,” she said.

The drop-in resource center, which serves more than 100 veterans each month, is staffed by veterans who are certified peer-support specialists. Some also have experience being homeless.

“There’s a comfort in talking with another veteran,” Franz said. “They don’t have to explain everything because the staff knows what they’ve gone through.

just the residents.

Homelessness among veterans is much more prevalent than many people realize, Franz said.

“We’ve had veterans whose car broke down and they didn’t have money to fix it, so they lost their job and were tossed out of their housing,” she said “There are people living in their cars, in tents, someone’s basement or hotels while waiting for housing to come through.”

“It’s an awful spiral,” she said. “We help them get on their feet again.”

Last year, 45 veterans were assisted through TLS’s housing program, while 56 veterans were enrolled in their employment program.

TLS’s drop-in resource center is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, but the dedicated staff is known to arrive early and stay late to accommodate those who need it. They’re also available on weekends for veterans in need of immediate assistance.

“Not only do I recommend TLS, now that I’m in a good place, I try to go back and help them out as much as I can,” Van Cleve said. “It’s sad I had to call so many different places to find one that was willing to help. In my time at TLS, I don’t remember a single instance where they turned someone away or didn’t answer the phone.”

TLS is at 5330 Elm St. in McHenry.

Algonquin-LITH Fire Protection District voters pass referendum that failed in March

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District can start restoring services that have been cut and setting aside funds for long-term needs after an emergency and rescue tax was passed Tuesday, Fire Chief Peter Van Dorpe said.

About 7,790 voters – or 54 percent – voted “yes,” and 6,593 voters – or 46 percent – voted “no,” according to unofficial results.

District voters rejected the same referendum in the March primary by a margin of 53 percent to 47 percent.

“People want to know what they’re voting for or against, and I think we did a better job of reaching people this time around,” Van Dorpe said Wednesday.

The 0.1 percent tax will add about $65 on the property tax bill of the owner of a $200,000 house, Van Dorpe has said.

The district, which serves about 40,000 residents in Algonquin and Lake

“People want to know what they’re voting for or against, and I think we did a better job of reaching people this time around.”

Peter Van Dorpe Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District chief in the Hills, is expecting the tax to generate about $800,000 a year, Van Dorpe said.

About half of the funds gained from the tax are expected to go toward the department’s vehicle replacement fund, Van Dorpe said.

“We have a little bit, a couple hundred thousand [put away],” Van Dorpe said. “We should be putting $450,000 every year, so there goes the bulk of the new tax money.”

The department also plans on putting an ambulance back in service that has been out of commission for about two years, taking care of deferred building repairs, waiving fees insur-

Some residents have questioned why the district needed the tax when it had a little less than $200,000 surplus in fiscal 2016, Van Dorpe said.

He said the district’s 2016 budget was prepared before the March referendum results were in, and the department anticipated it would get the money needed to make repairs at its stations.

When the referendum did not pass, the projects were deferred, so the money set aside for them never was used, he said. The surplus also did not provide enough funds for long-term planning, he said.

“We have to make it work with this now,” Van Dorpe said. “So this and new growth, and that’s it.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – With so many holiday initiatives coming up, The Salvation Army of McHenry County is seeking volunteer help.

“We could not do all our campaigns, fundraisers and dinners without the support of our community,” Executive Director Carol Lewis said.

On Veterans Day, The Salvation Army of McHenry County is kicking off its Red Kettle Campaign, where volunteers can donate their time to help collect money for the nonprofit organization.

“We’ll have 52 kettle sites set up around the county, and we are hoping to raise $200,000 from this campaign,” Lewis said. “This money will stay in McHenry County and be used to help serve the community.”

While this is the Salvation Army’s biggest fundraising effort each year, Lewis said there are plenty of other events coming up to help support the community. One big event is the Salvation Army’s community Thanksgiving meal.

The Thanksgiving dinner will be from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 23 at its Corps Community Center, 290 W. Crystal Lake Ave. Everyone from the community is invited to come for turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and other classic Thanksgiving dishes, which will be served by Salvation Army staff and volunteers.

HARVARD – Second Ward Alderman Michael Kelly is the city of Harvard’s new mayor.

Kelly was appointed Tuesday at a Harvard City Council meeting. He has lived in Harvard for 10 years and has been in his council seat since 2015. Former Mayor Jay Nolan resigned Oct 25 after more than 11 years at his post to start a distillery in town.

Kelly will serve as mayor until April 2017, which is when the term is set to expire. He said he plans to run for re-election.

“My main goal for the next few months is to bridge the gap between the vacancy left by the former mayor and whoever is elected into the position come April, be it me or someone else,” he said.

“We need someone to provide direction to the city in this short time

Even locally, there were some distasteful things going on.”

Continued from page A3

Walkup in the first-ever election for the seat. Republican newcomer candidates for state’s attorney and recorder, however, had an easy time winning Tuesday evening.

While McHenry County Republican Party Chairwoman Sandra Salgado said she was not surprised by the party’s local showing, she said that while she was expecting a close presidential race, she did not expect Trump to win.

“I think the people are looking for someone to come in and shake things up and move this country in the right direction,” Salgado said. “I’m confident that Trump is really going to show his leadership over the next few years.”

Democratic Party of McHenry County Chairman Michael Bissett said he and his party did not expect Trump to win, either. And while he said he was willing to give Trump a chance, his outlook was not nearly as optimistic. He said his fellow Democrats are “absolutely horrified” of a Trump presidency.

“If Trump’s going to govern the way he campaigned, we’re in for a horrible four years,” Bissett said.

Both Salgado and Bissett agreed that work needs to be done to heal the wounds inflicted by one of the most vicious presidential races in U.S. history.

Salgado acknowledged that the pri-

local level, for both parties, to re-examine the way we do things, the process,” Salgado said. “Even locally, there were some distasteful things going on.”

Bissett said that healing partisanship wounds will not be easy, if how the Republicans handled themselves during President Obama’s two terms are any predictor. But Congress may

be able to help in that regard by putting some of the partisanship aside.

“I think Trump is going to realize that the powers of the presidency are limited by design,” Bissett said. “That’s going to be frustrating to him, and perhaps, from my perspective, the only way they’re going to learn to govern is by figuring out what both sides want, and move the other stuff off to the side for a while.”

Bissett said Tuesday’s losses were buoyed by Franks winning the chairmanship and by the election of Paula Yensen to a County Board seat. Yensen, who served on the board between 2008 and 2014, is a Lake in the Hills trustee and Bissett’s wife – just as she did when she first was elected, she will have to resign her trustee seat.

“It’s clearly a significant indication that the voters of McHenry County want something to change, even though they elected a lot of Republicans again,” Bissett said.

Salgado acknowledged that the fight for the chairmanship was not handled well. She said the party, which had a lot of races to focus on, lacked organization for the chairman’s race from the beginning, and faced an uphill battle against a very experienced Democratic legislator. She said the party will focus on winning the seat in 2020.

“Jack didn’t win that race. The Republicans for sure lost that race. We gave it over to him,” Salgado said.

GOP strikes blow to Dems’ House majority

By IVAN MORENO The Associated Press CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner and fellow Republicans eliminated the Democrats’ supermajority in the Illinois House on Election Day, strengthening the governor’s chances in the remaining two years of his term to implement a union-weakening, business-friendly agenda that his opponents have resisted amid an historic budget impasse.

Republicans still are the minority party in the Legislature, but with Tuesday’s results – GOP gains made with Rauner’s financial backing – Democrats don’t have the numbers necessary to override him and pass a state budget without backing down.

The state hasn’t had a budget since July 1, 2015, causing cuts to social service programs across the state and reducing funding for higher education.

The GOP reduced the Democrats’ House membership to 67 – still a sizable advantage over the Republicans’ 51 but four fewer than what the party needs to overturn gubernatorial vetoes. Republicans knocked off four

Airbnb hosts sue over home-sharing ordinance

CHICAGO – Chicago crossed the line into the privacy of people’s homes by imposing sweeping regulations governing Airbnb and other home-sharing services, a lawsuit from a group of current Airbnb hosts argued.

Keep Chicago Livable said the ordinance set to take effect in December tramples constitutional rights to freely and anonymously communicate on the internet, use one’s own property, be guaranteed due process, and be protected against illegal search and seizure.

The group filed its lawsuit Friday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

“The law requires Airbnb to share with the government all information about its users in Chicago without a warrant, consent, or proof of any crime,” said Shorge Kenneth Sato, an attorney for the group.

“Information about who they have as

Democratic incumbents in the House and picked up two seats in the Senate, where Democrats still have a supermajority.

The Republicans’ successes came even as Democratic women took the top state ticket races, with Hillary Clinton beating Donald Trump and U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth unseating Michael Republican U.S. Sen. Madigan Mark Kirk.

Some of the contested races were among the most expensive the state has ever seen, and the wealthy former venture capitalist contributed more than $30 million to party committees and candidates. It forced Democrats to keep up, resulting in nearly a dozen races that surpassed $2 million.

Democrats blamed Rauner’s money and Trump’s support in conservative Illinois districts for their losses.

“Republicans’ millions spent, coupled with the Trump headwind in downstate Illinois, created a difficult environment for many Democratic candidates,” House Speaker Michael

Madigan said in a statement late Tuesday. He pledged that Democrats will use their majority to “maintain a strong check on Bruce Rauner and his anti-middle class agenda.”

Madigan also touted the Democrats’ victory in the comptroller’s race, where Susana Mendoza ousted Rauner’s hand-picked candi- Bruce date, Leslie Munger.

Rauner Rauner, meanwhile, tried to strike a more conciliatory tone.

“For the good of the people of Illinois, let’s put the election behind us,” he said in a statement Tuesday. “Let’s come together and focus on the future and improving the quality of life for every family in our state.” He added that lawmakers should work quickly to pass a budget “with reforms that grow more jobs and protect taxpayers.”

The General Assembly returns to Springfield next week for the veto session, although the new balance in the House won’t start until January.

During the campaign season, Trump presented a conundrum for some Re-

publicans who tried to balance distancing themselves from him without alienating his supporters in conservative areas. Rauner avoided mentioning Trump’s name and condemned many of his comments, but stopped short of saying he wouldn’t vote for him.

Trump performed better than Mitt Romney in 2012 in some of the counties where Republicans defeated Democrat incumbents. In the southern Illinois counties of Franklin and Williamson, for example, Trump’s margin of victory was better than Romney’s by 13.4 percent and nearly 7 percent, respectively. Those counties are in the district that Democratic Rep. John Bradley lost by nearly 6 percentage points.

The other Democratic incumbents who lost were Reps. Mike Smiddy, Kate Cloonen and Andy Skoog – all in counties where Trump outperformed Romney.

But Republicans also did well in urban areas. Rep. Michael McAuliffe, the only GOP legislator in Chicago, was re-elected to a district that included Park Ridge, the suburb where Clinton grew up.

Candidate barred from bench wins judge election

CHICAGO – A law clerk who faces charges of impersonating a judge has been elected as a judge in the Chicago area even though she’s been barred from taking the office.

Rhonda Crawford had been expected to win Tuesday’s election over a write-in opponent, as she was the only name listed on the ballot. The 45-year-old can’t be sworn in to the $180,000-a-year job unless she’s cleared of wrongdoing.

The former nurse was fired from her courthouse job and criminally charged for donning a black robe and presiding over traffic cases that should’ve been heard by a real judge. The Illinois Supreme Court temporarily suspended her law license.

U of Illinois president seeks plan to shore up funding

CHAMPAIGN – The University of Illinois president is pursuing an agreement with state leaders that would guarantee the school multiyear funding in exchange for controls on tuition increases and other benchmarks.

For months, Timothy Killeen has informally discussed the idea as a way to provide financial stability for the university amid the state’s budget crisis. State Sen. Bill Cunningham and state Rep. Michael Zalewski were expected to file legislation Thursday that would lock in both the appropriation and limits on tuition increases for five years.

“We fully understand it’s going to take a lot of work, a lot of conversations, maybe some give and take,” university spokesman Tom Hardy said Wednesday. “We’re the past the election, we’re coming up on the new legislative session after the first of the year. We’ve got to launch something at some point.”

Officials: 1 dead, 1 injured after being electrocuted

STERLING – Officials said a telecommunications company worker was electrocuted and another was injured after being shocked while working on a utility pole in Illinois.

The Sterling Daily Gazette reported the men were working with fiber-optic cable Tuesday in Sterling when the bucket on their truck came into contact with power lines.

The Whiteside County coroner’s office identified the man who died as 32-yearold Robert Zulauf of West Chicago.

The newspaper said the other worker, identified as a 23-year-old West Chicago man, was in critical condition Wednesday morning at a hospital.

Authorities are investigating.

California students protest Trump victory

LOS ANGELES – Hundreds of students have protested on California campuses after Donald Trump’s presidential victory.

Police said at least 500 people swarmed streets in and around UCLA early Wednesday morning, some shouting anti-Trump expletives. There were no immediate arrests.

Smaller demonstrators were held at University of California campuses and neighborhoods in Berkeley, Irvine and Davis and at San Jose State.

In Oakland, more than 100 protesters took to downtown streets. KNTV-TV reported that protesters burned Trump in effigy, smashed windows of the Oakland Tribune newsroom and set tires and trash on fire.

The California Highway Patrol said a woman was struck by a car during the protest and severely injured.

GOP pledges swift action on Trump’s agenda

WASHINGTON – Elated congressional Republicans pledged swift action Wednesday on President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda as they heralded an extraordinary new era of unified GOP control in Washington.

“He just earned a mandate,” House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin declared of Trump.

“We are going to hit the ground running.”

Said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky: “We would like to see the country go in a different direction and intend to work with him to change the course for America.”

Republicans saw their majorities in the House and Senate reduced, but not by much, as Democrats’ hopes of retaking Senate control vanished.

Police: 7 killed in London morning tram derailment LONDON – Seven people were killed and more than 50 injured when a tram derailed while rounding a tight curve in a rainstorm in south London Wednesday, police said.

Investigators said the train, which tipped over on its side, apparently was going faster than permitted.

British Transport Police initially said five people had died, with several others seriously injured. The force later raised the death toll to seven.

Police arrested the 42-yearold tram driver on suspicion of manslaughter.

Emergency workers labored for hours to free five people trapped in the wreckage of the two-carriage tram tipped over next to an underpass in the Croydon area.

GOP claims mandate; Clinton reacts after loss

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Emboldened Republicans claimed a mandate Wednesday for President-elect Donald Trump after his astonishing election triumph, and an emotional Hillary Clinton told crestfallen supporters the GOP victor deserved a “chance to lead.” President Barack Obama pledged a smooth transition of power.

“We are now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country,” the president said of the president-elect, the man who spent years questioning Obama’s birthplace and challenging the legitimacy of his presidency. Obama, who had declared Trump unfit for the presidency, invited him to the White House on Thursday.

Trump was uncharacteristically quiet in the aftermath of his triumph and made no public appearances Wednesday. He huddled with jubilant, sleep-deprived advisers at his eponymous skyscraper in Manhattan, beginning the daunting task of setting up an administration that will take power in just more than two months. He also met with Vice President-elect Mike Pence and took calls from supporters, family and friends, according to spokeswoman Hope Hicks.

In Washington, Trump’s scant transition team sprang into action, culling through personnel lists for top jobs and working through handover plans for government agencies. A person familiar with the transition operations said the personnel process still was in its early stages, but Trump’s team was putting a premium on quickly filling key national security posts.

According to an organizational chart for the transition obtained by The Associated Press, Trump was relying on

National security planning was being led by former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, who previously worked for the FBI. Domestic issues were being handled by Ken Blackwell, a former Cincinnati mayor and Ohio secretary of state.

Trump was expected to consider several loyal supporters for top jobs, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani for attorney general or national security adviser and campaign finance chairman Steve Mnuchin for Treasury secretary. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker also were expected to be under consideration for foreign policy posts.

After struggling for months with Trump’s takeover of their party, Republican leaders embraced the businessman in victory.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, who was lukewarm in his support throughout the campaign, praised him for pulling off “the most incredible political feat I have seen in my lifetime.”

“He just earned a mandate,” Ryan said.

Indeed, Trump will take

office in January with Congress fully in his party’s control, giving him strength to try to pass his agenda and turn the Supreme Court in a conservative direction. Even Republicans were stunned by the scope of their electoral success, including many who had been privately predicting Trump’s defeat.

Clinton’s emotions were raw as she addressed a crowd of supporters, eyes wet with tears, who gathered in a New York ballroom. She said the crushing loss was “painful and it will be for a long time” and acknowledged that the nation was “more divided than we thought.”

Still, Clinton was gracious in defeat, declaring that “Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.”

With several million votes still to be counted, Clinton held a narrow lead in the nationwide popular vote. Most of the outstanding votes appeared to be in Democratic-leaning states, with the biggest chunk in California, a state Clinton overwhelmingly won. With almost 125 million votes counted, The Associated Press tally had Clinton with 47.7 percent and Trump with 47.5 percent.

Anguish for many female Clinton voters

By JOCELYN NOVECK The Associated Press Maggie Passmore of St. Paul, Minnesota, had been watching election returns at a party but reverted to watching at home “when things got scary.”

She fell asleep, then awoke to learn that Donald Trump was defeating Hillary Clinton.

“And then I threw up,” said Passmore, 54. “My body totally rejected the result.” Hours later, she found herself writing an email to her kids saying how terrified she was for the country’s future: for the Supreme Court, for health care, for international relations.

Shock. Despair. A punch to the gut. Hopelessness. Countless female Clinton supporters used those words Wednesday to describe their feelings.

Some spoke of collapsing in tears, or seeing strangers do the same – on the subway, or on the street.

For many women, the election was a one-two punch. A huge milestone that had seemed so tantalizingly close – the election of a woman as president – was now out of reach. And the victorious candidate was one who had denigrated women, mocked a beauty pageant contestant for her weight, described grabbing women by the genitals with impunity and been accused of multiple instances of sexual assault.

By the time Trump had called his opponent “such a nasty woman,” it had

Audience members listen as Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks Wednesday in New York. seemed that women might hand him a defeat at the ballot box. But when the dust cleared, the unprecedented gender gap – 13 points in Clinton’s favor, assuming exit polls hold up, the largest since the exit poll began in 1972 – wasn’t enough.

And the fact is that millions of American women did vote for Trump.

“Listen, I didn’t love either of the candidates,” said Susan Paarz, 69, of Somers Point, New Jersey. “But I voted

against corruption and dishonesty.”

For Clinton supporter Jan Risher, Election Day had begun joyously.

She’d rustled up the best pantsuit she could – not matching, but no matter – and headed to downtown Lafayette, Louisiana, to take a happy photo with some similarly attired women. Hours later, instead of celebrating the first woman president as she’d expected, she was searching online for how to immigrate to Canada.

“I have never felt so forlorn in my life,” said Risher, 52. “I just feel such alienation from my country today.”

On social media, many women asked: What will we tell our daughters? Clinton herself addressed the issue in an emotional concession speech.

“To all the little girls watching: Never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world,” she said.

Not all of the women who voted for Trump completely condoned his behavior. They just preferred him to the alternative.

To Trump supporter Diane Massaroli of Staten Island, New York, the candidate’s vulgar, caught-on-tape comments were disgusting – but not a dealbreaker. And the series of women who accused him of sexual assault didn’t persuade her, she said. (Her 15-year-old daughter, however, was a Clinton supporter – and in tears at the result.)

“A lot of people said that to me: How could I vote for him, being the mother of a daughter? ... But I think everything else is far greater” than his comments, Massaroli said. “I think people just didn’t trust her as much as they would trust him.”

Said Paarz of Trump’s vulgar comments: “Any woman would have been offended. But guys talk that way in a locker room. Is he different? Probably not.”

For many supporters, Trump is a thing called hope The ASSOCIATED PRESS MENOMONIE, Wis. – On election night, when Donald Trump claimed victory in her home state of Wisconsin, Shay Chamberlain was so excited she screamed and fell over.

Chamberlain believes Trump is her savior, sent by God to save America from ruin. She owns a women’s clothing store in this remote town; her husband runs a construction company.

They have two children and barely get by on $44,000 a year, living paycheck to paycheck.

In his victory speech, Trump called people like Chamberlain and her family America’s “forgotten men and women” – the blue-collar workers in the manufacturing towns of the Rust Belt and the coalfields of Appalachia who propelled him to an improbable victory. They felt left behind by progress, laughed at by the elite, and so put their faith in the billionaire businessman with a sharp tongue and short temper who promised to Make America Great Again.

When Trump first ran, Chamberlain thought to herself: “That’s the man everybody has been praying for.” And she now feels vindicated by his victory.

“This is a movement,” she said.

“This isn’t a candidate anymore. This is a movement.”

Not all of Trump’s support came from the blue-collar downtrodden.

But the Republican’s overwhelming backing among whites with less than a college education is at least partly a reflection of how little the economic recovery since the Great Recession has benefited them. Their job opportunities have dwindled and their incomes have fallen, even as broader measures of the nation’s job market show improvement. But they also turned to him to hold back the tide of social change: same-sex marriage, transgender rights, a society growing more racially diverse.

The white working class, long ignored, found an unlikely spokesman in Trump. He promised to build the wall to keep out immigrants. He promised

to tear up trade deals that have ushered American factory jobs overseas.

He promised to put blue-collar America back to work and restore the country to a time when white workers felt appreciated and fulfilled.

“I feel like, not just most, but all Trump supporters are true patriots,” said 59-year-old Ginger Austin, who owns a graphics company in a tiny town in Jones County, one of the poorest places in North Carolina. “They love this country. But they’re taking our country away, and they’re changing it. They’re just changing everything. All our rights are just slowly being dwindled away.”

She’s angry at the Republican Party she has supported all her life. She is angry at Barack Obama and the Affordable Care Act. She is angry that America is changing, and worried that her grandchildren are growing up in a world too liberal and too politically correct.

The nation woke up Wednesday morning to learn just how starkly di-

vided it has grown: Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by less than 200,000 ballots. But Trump won battleground states that had voted for Obama twice.

Thousands of registered Democrats, including many former union workers from the mines and factories, crossed party lines and sided with Trump.

For example, in Dunn County, Wisconsin, where Shay Chamberlain lives, Obama beat Mitt Romney 53 percent to 46 percent in 2012, and John McCain 57 percent to 42 percent four years earlier.

But it flipped to back Donald Trump, 52 percent to 41 percent, over Clinton.

Scott Hiltgen, a 66-year-old small business owner in Wisconsin, called Washington a “cesspool” of career politicians, aware of and indifferent to the plight of the American worker.

“We are considered flyover country, as you well know, and they don’t care about us,” he said. “And I think it was the silent majority that finally said, ‘Enough’s enough. We want a change.

We don’t like the way things are going.’ ”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

ciated Press. “So this is not only a victory for the Americans, who defended their democracy against the liberal, global elite – no, this is a victory that the American people brought to the whole world.”

There is anxiety in Europe among NATO allies who are waiting to see if Trump follows through on suggestions the U.S. will look at whether they have paid their proper share in considering whether to come to their defense.

That rhetoric has challenged the strategic underpinning of the NATO alliance – in which an attack on one NATO nation is considered an attack on all – at a time when Russia has been ever more confrontational.

“As a candidate, Trump called into question NATO and trade agreements, and reached out to Moscow,” said Daniela Schwarzer, an expert on trans-Atlantic relations at the German Council on Foreign Relations.

“Even if President Trump doesn’t implement everything, Germany and Europe can’t rely on the trans-Atlantic partnership as usual, and will have to stand up for Western values themselves.”

Trump’s win also caused trepidation in Mexico, where his remarks

calling Mexican immigrants criminals and “rapists” were a deep insult to national pride.

Trump has suggested slapping a 35 percent tax on automobiles and auto parts made by U.S. companies in Mexico, and financial analysts have predicted a Trump win will threaten billions of dollars in cross-border trade.

Trump’s victory is “as close to a national emergency as Mexico has faced in many decades,” Mexican analyst Alejandro Hope said.

It also caused concern in Cuba, over Trump’s threat to roll back President Barack Obama’s normalization of relations unless Cuban President Raul Castro agrees to more political freedoms.

“If he reverses it, it hurts us,” taxi driver Oriel Iglesias Garcia said. “You know tourism will go down.”

Trump’s electoral triumph was also felt strongly in the volatile Middle East, where multiple crises are unfolding. One major concern is Trump’s vehement opposition to the historic nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers under which Iran has curbed its nuclear program in exchange for a gradual lifting of international sanctions.

MOSCOW – World leaders struggled Wednesday to come to grips with a new reality – Donald Trump will be the next U.S. president – and an as yet unanswerable question: How many of his campaign pledges will he actually act on?

The remarkable triumph of the politically untested businessman was welcomed in some countries, such as Russia, while in others it was a major shock.

When Trump takes office in January, world leaders will confront a man whose stated views represent a sharp break with U.S. foreign policy orthodoxy. He has cozied up to Russian President Vladimir Putin, warned stunned NATO allies they will have to pay for their own protection, floated a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. and vowed to make the Mexican government finance a multibillion-dollar border wall.

These changes, and others, have the potential to radically remake U.S. policy – a prospect that has given stability-loving partners a cascading case of the jitters.

Trump’s victory was hailed in Russia, which has taken an increasingly

aggressive stance toward the West in recent months. Putin sent Trump a congratulatory telegram Wednesday and made a televised statement expressing the hope that frayed U.S.-Russian relations could be put back on track.

“We are aware that it is a difficult path, in view of the unfortunate degradation of relations between the Russian Federation and the United States,” the Russian leader said, adding: “It is not our fault that Russian-American relations are in such a state.”

Russia became a focal point during the presidential campaign, with government officials and Hillary Clinton supporters suggesting Moscow was involved in hacking her campaign’s emails. Trump raised eyebrows when he expressed admiration for Putin and his tough leadership style, and some Clinton backers questioned Trump’s business dealings with Russia.

Dmitri Drobnitski, a columnist at the generally pro-Kremlin website LifeNews, asserted Trump’s victory will help the world.

“I congratulate the American people with their will and with their democracy and with their strength and with their courage,” he told The Asso-

OUR VIEW

Time to pull back together The most divisive presidential election in modern U.S. history is behind us, but not even the most cheerful Pollyanna believes the fractures have healed.

In a historic election where the political establishment, the media and pollsters underestimated both the mood and the will of the American people, the voters have spoken in electing Donald Trump as our next president.

That news brings joy to nearly half the country and despair to nearly the other half, but it is clear that many in many states wanted drastic change from the status quo that permeated Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

As we stated in our non-endorsement for this general election, these were poor choices for U.S. president but the only realistic choices that voters had.

What was also grossly underestimated is that many citizens, in the South, in Rust Belt states and others across the country, are economically hurting. That pain spans decades and several presidential administrations as globalization has changed the face of manufacturing.

That economic trend is a complex one and it’s difficult to envision how one U.S. president would be able to reverse it as Trump has promised to do. Americans want good jobs and rightfully so. They believe trade deals and immigration policies have put them at a disadvantage, and Trump’s messages on those points were perhaps his most persuasive ones.

Frankly, it’s unclear what kind of president Trump will be. We’re not sure he knows, but we trust that he understands that running this great nation is far more consequential than running a real estate empire or hosting a reality TV show. He did show some grace and humility in his speech early Wednesday morning, qualities which were virtually absent during his campaign.

What this election is not is a victory for bigots, misogynists and racists. This country is too diverse and will never tolerate the kind of behavior displayed by some at Trump campaign rallies. These were shameful moments. It is immoral to call them anything else.

We’ve not heard much that is hopeful from this campaign, and Trump has displayed a woeful ignorance of foreign policy. His lifetime of narcissistic behavior and demonstrating little more than seeking gain for his personal interests has been troubling. We are hopeful that he brings in capable leaders and that a Republican-controlled Congress keeps him in check.

This United States is and will always be greater than any one individual. And while it may take some time, we hope this nation, which was, is and will remain great, can pull together for the greater good.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Donald Trump didn’t win because Americans are racist So this is what it feels like to live through a political earthquake. Donald Trump’s victory is a bigger upset than Harry Truman’s 1948 defeat of Thomas Dewey. Truman was after all the sitting president. Many people found the prospect of President Trump unimaginable: I did, in the weeks after his campaign began (and as late as early evening on Election Day I still thought he was likely to lose).

Given how surprising the results were, we should wait before making confident judgments about what it all means.

But we should look very skeptically at one of the explanations that I’m seeing a lot from the liberals I follow on social media: The country voted for Trump because of white racism.

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru Against that theory, I’d note, first, that Trump won several states that voted twice for our first black president. The early exit polls suggest Trump won a tenth of voters who approved of President Barack Obama’s job performance. If that’s close to true, it means he wouldn’t have won without those voters.

And as I’ve noted in this space before, claims that bigotry are a major motivation for Trump voters have a thin evidentiary basis: They classify conservative views that aren’t necessarily rooted in racial

hostility as “racial resentment,” they ignore the decline in bigotry over time, and they overgeneralize about a very large and in some ways diverse group of people.

There are serious reasons for concern about Trump’s coming presidency, and his handling of racial controversies is among them. But during the general election, his numbers declined when he engaged in his worst and most publicized behavior, such as the feud with the parents of a Muslim soldier killed in Iraq.

Voters seem to have backed him despite such episodes, rather than because of them.

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

Instinct likely to guide President-elect just as it did during campaign VIEWS Albert Hunt The New York billionaire has talked openly about tapping fellow deal-makers Carl Icahn and Wilbur Ross for prominent roles in his administration.

It’s not certain that these wealthy investors would be interested in government jobs, especially if faced with grilling at Congressional confirmation hearings and forced to divest some of their extensive holdings.

It was once assumed that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who jumped on the Trump bandwagon after his presidential primary campaign collapsed and runs the candidate’s transition-planning team, was in line to be attorney general. But that prospect may be dimmed by the conviction last week of two ex-Christie allies over

a 2013 scheme to close access lanes to the George Washington Bridge to punish a political foe. Witnesses at the trial said Christie knew about the closings, which he has denied.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Trump confidant and vitriolic critic of Trump’s Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, might be considered to lead the Justice or Homeland Security Departments. One candidate for a number of possible posts would be Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, an early Trump supporter who provided policy advice.

Newt Gingrich, who became an avid Trump enthusiast, has told acquaintances that he envisions himself as secretary of state or defense under Trump. If that’s too much of a reach for the erratic former House Speaker, a lesser post may be in the offing.

More likely for a top national security position is John Bolton, the right-wing foreign policy expert who

served in the state department and as United Nations ambassador under President George W. Bush.

Diversity isn’t likely to be a top priority for Trump. But one black Republican is a prime candidate for secretary of health and human services. That’s Ben Carson, a renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, presidential primary candidate and Trump neighbor in Florida.

The White House staff would be an open question. It’s not unusual to bring campaign operatives into top staff jobs. But there were no policy or political heavyweights in the Trump entourage. There is talk of Republican National Committee chair Reince Preibus, a Trump cheerleader in the campaign, as chief of staff.

But Donald Trump got to the White House by running his own show.

That’s the way he’s likely to govern.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Early voting issue

To the Editor: I went to vote early this Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at the McHenry City Hall location and it was a bust. Not only were people standing in line outside the building, but there were only two election judges inside for support and one machine was down due to lack of paper on the electronic machine. All those promises made in the newspaper from the McHenry County Clerk’s office, really?

As a former technical judge in last March’s debacle in McHenry, one can only hope that Mary McClellan and her staff were ready for Tuesday’s election.

The day after

To the Editor: I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a long hot shower and not any normal shower. I’m going to need a dutch cleanser and a brillo pad because the revulsion of this campaign is more than skin deep.

To get rid of the grunge of this presidential election I’m going to have to work my way below the surface and

probably take it down to the wood.

There’s a stench about me, like spending the last nine months downwind of a hog farm, and I mean no disrespect to the hogs. We could learn from them how to get along.

Step two will be a doctor’s visit. I want to be checked for the croup, the scudders, head lice and hand, foot and mouth disease, anything that can be transmitted by angry human beings spewing invectives as we showcased to the world the darkest side of the democracy we hold so dear.

The last step will be the most difficult, and anyone that’s had a colonoscopy knows of what I speak: The innards have to be flushed. After what’s built up inside the last nine months, I fear a saline solution isn’t going to be strong enough.

I may need to use oxy-clean and do a double flush.

The whole process should take about a month and I finally will be able to get this scowl off my face, just in time for the next election cycle.

but if you voted for her (especially just to spite Trump), you’re exceptionally naive, misinformed and/or devoid of reasonable moral conscience. Only those in willful denial can continue to reject the overwhelming evidence that Clinton is a treasonous scofflaw and pathological liar.

Most new Republican administrations are filled with experienced hands from a previous government – a few governors and members of Congress, a prominent corporate chief executive or two. That’s not likely with Donald Trump; look instead for fellow deal-makers, political pals and fervent early supporters.

More than any modern president, Trump doesn’t come from the party establishment and owes it nothing.

Some conservative think tanks will rush to fill the void, but with limited interest in policy, Trump is likely to continue to rely on instinct.

That’s what led to his upset victory and is likely to be the model for assembling an administration.

Trump has already signaled his intention to name Steve Mnuchin, his chief fundraiser and a former Goldman Sachs executive, as Treasury secretary. He was one of a smattering of Wall Streeters to support Trump; he has no Washington background.

BUSINESS Small businesses can expect policy changes under Trump Health care

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press NEW YORK – The election of Donald Trump as the next U.S. president has small business advocates expecting policy changes on issues such as health care and the environment. But they’re concerned about gridlock persisting even with a Republican president and Congress.

Advocacy groups expect Trump to start working toward at least modifying President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, and undoing environmental regulations. They’re generally upbeat that bipartisan support for small business issues such as access to federal contracts will continue. But some question how campaign rhetoric will translate into concrete steps.

“What we don’t know is whether or not there is a sincere interest in supporting small and medium-size enterprises in this country – rebuilding Main Street, rebuilding manufacturing,” said David Levine, CEO of the American Sustainable Business Council.

They’re also wondering whether Senate Democrats will try to slow the GOP agenda.

“Since you need 60 votes to do anything of any consequence there, it’s hard to see how it will happen,” said Todd McCracken, CEO of the National Small Business Association, referring to how it takes that many votes to end Senate debate on legislation.

Here’s what some groups expect on major topics:

Trump has vowed to repeal the health care overhaul, something Republicans in Congress have failed to do so far. Whether Democrats in the Senate could block a repeal is unclear, as is what would replace it.

“We don’t think (a repeal) would be realistic. Many small businesses have gotten coverage they wouldn’t have gotten otherwise,” said John Arensmeyer, CEO of Small Business Majority, which has supported the law.

McCracken believes changes to the health care law could be stymied if they’re opposed by the health insurance industry, which has a powerful lobbying presence.

Regulations

partners and corporate shareholders whose business income is reported on their personal returns.

They can be taxed at rates up to nearly 40 percent under current law.

Corporate tax rates range from 15 percent to 35 percent.

The tax law can’t be changed without Congress, which has had trouble agreeing on tax reform. But the National Federation of Independent Business believes that a Republican president and Congress will lower taxes for small companies.

“I am now feeling like a comprehensive tax reform is alive and well again,” CEO Juanita Duggan said.

Trade

Trump campaigned on renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, which governs trade among the U.S., Canada and Mexico, and wants other trade deals modified.

He also wants the U.S. to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which is awaiting approval from Congress. But he may face opposition from small business groups.

“NAFTA has been a plus for small business trade. Free trade accords reduce expenses and expand opportunities for small businesses,” said Raymond Keating, chief economist with the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council.

Congress in recent years even as political infighting stalled other bills. Karen Kerrigan, president of the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council, hopes Democrats and Republicans on small business committees in both houses will keep working together.

Trump hasn’t talked about women business owners. Jane Campbell, president of Women Impacting Public Policy, said he may need to learn.

While the law requires federal contracts to be awarded to disadvantaged business owners, there isn’t a similar requirement for women-owned companies.

“We have to do some education,” Campbell said.

Minimum wage

The approval of minimum wage increases in Arizona, Colorado, Maine and the state of Washington likely will add momentum to campaigns in other parts of the country, said Holly Sklar, director of the advocacy group Business For a Fair Minimum Wage.

“We expect to see more states through legislation and ballot campaigns to be moving forward in 2017,” Sklar said.

Some small business groups say a higher minimum wage hurts small companies; others say it helps them compete and gives consumers more money to spend at small businesses.

Sklar believes Congress will be Taxes pressured to lift the federal minimum Trump has advocated lowering Federal contracts Legislation making it easier for wage, which has been $7.25 since 2009. the income tax on all companies to 15 percent. Business groups want to see small businesses to win federal con- Even so, she doesn’t expect it to reach benefits as well for sole proprietors, tracts has won bipartisan support in some state levels of $15 by 2020.

Trump has said he’ll reverse some of Obama’s executive orders, including one that eased deportation policies against minors who are in the U.S. illegally. He’s also said he’d eliminate a rule that allows the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate bodies of water on private lands. And he has vowed to withdraw the United States from an international agreement on climate change.

Many small business groups have voiced concern about the effect that federal, state and local requirements have on their companies and profits.

30 Simple steps help prevent hospital delirium Dear Dr. K: The last time my mother was in the hospital, she experienced delirium.

Given her age and state of health, it’s likely she will be hospitalized again. Is there anything I can do to prevent her from becoming delirious the next time?

Dear Reader: About half of people older than 65 experience delirium – a sudden change in mental status – during a hospital stay. This troubling experience increases their risk for cognitive impairment and dementia after their release.

It’s easy to understand why hospitalization can be disorienting. Patients’ daily routines are overturned. Suddenly they’re dealing with a stream of people they’ve probably never met before. Because of noise, and being awakened for a treatment or a test, it’s hard to sleep through the night. Medications also can affect their mental state. As we age, it becomes even more difficult to adapt to these disruptions.

Dr. Sharon Inouye is a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Decades ago, she recognized delirium in older patients isn’t inevitable. She and her colleagues designed a delirium-prevention program called the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP).

HELP identifies patients at risk for delirium and provides them with special care to minimize the main risk factors for delirium during their hospital stay. These risk factors include sleep deprivation, immobility, visual impairment, hearing impairment and dehydration.

HELP doesn’t just reduce the incidence of delirium during hospitalization. It also helps prevent falls, mental and physical declines and the need for nursing home care.

That’s because it is during spells when they are delirious people climb out of bed or slip and fall, and fracture bones.

If your mother is hospitalized again, ask

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff whether the hospital has a delirium prevention program. If not, here are several things you can do to help: • Keep communication simple. In a calm, reassuring voice, state one fact at a time, as you have learned the facts from the doctors and nurses. Do not overwhelm or overstimulate your mother with too much information.

• Help orient the person. If necessary, remind your mother where she is and why.

Be subtle about it. Don’t ask her if she knows where she is and why she’s there.

Instead, make comments such as “I sure like the nice big windows here at General Hospital, don’t you?” Or “You’re going to feel so much better when the doctors here at General Hospital take out your gall bladder, Mom.” • Try a hands-on approach. Gently massage or stroke your mother’s arm or back if she finds that soothing.

• Be a companion. Stay in the hospital as much as possible. Arrange with family and friends to visit in shifts so someone can be present around the clock.

• Work with the staff. If allowed, encourage your mother to eat and drink. Accompany her on walks down the hospital corridor.

• Be vigilant. If you detect signs of possible delirium – confusion, memory problems, personality changes – discuss them with the medical staff as soon as you can. Family and friends often are the first to notice subtle changes.

• Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

It would be interesting to know who told you your husband and this woman once were lovers. If it was your husband, I think you have less to be concerned about than if it was someone “trying to be helpful.” It is possible the woman contacted your husband because she is familiar with his work ethic and his abilities and thinks he would be the best person for the job.

That said, however, there are four people involved in this situation. And your question about whether her husband is aware of their history is a good one, because he should be.

My husband recently was offered a new job that carries with it a significant increase in salary as well as upward mobility.

He was offered the job by a woman he used to work with years ago. She will be his new boss.

It recently was brought to my attention not only were they co-workers, they also used to sleep together. He tells me there’s absolutely nothing there, and I don’t need to be worried.

However, I can’t help but wonder why they have maintained contact for all these years, and why she sought him out to work for her.

She also is married, and I wonder if her husband knows their history, and if he would be OK with his wife’s request to work with a former lover.

Am I overreacting? Or should people cut off contact with their exes once they are married? Should I be worried about a physical or emotional affair? I just don’t have a good feeling about this. Thank you for your help. –

What to watch NBA: Bulls at Miami, 7 p.m., TNT Bulls guard Dwyane Wade returns to Miami to face his old team for the first time.

There isn’t a tougher test in the state than the one Huntley’s football team will try to pass this week.

Loyola Academy enters Saturday’s Class 8A quarterfinal at Huntley as the No. 1 seed in 8A and the defending 8A state champion. The Ramblers also sport a 28-game winning streak. They are considered the best team in the state by many, and USA Today ranks them the No. 24 team in the country.

“Honestly, at this point, there’s just eight teams left in the state (in Class 8A),” Huntley defensive back Hunter Kowalski said. “It’s every man for themselves. We don’t really tend to look at them as the No. 1 seed. I don’t even know what seed we are, to be honest. We just look at it as: We go out there and play our best every time, no matter the seeds.”

For those keeping track at home, Huntley entered the 8A playoffs as the No. 24 seed. Credit Huntley coach Matt Zimolzak for keeping his players from paying attention to the chatter or seeding. Huntley’s win over No. 9-seeded Stevenson in the opening round is proof that the Red Raiders aren’t worried about who outsiders see as the favorite.

Huntley followed the opening-round win with a 38-30 win over Fremd last week to advance to the quarterfinals.

Quarterback Eric Mooney threw for 205 yards and a touchdown against Fremd and ran for 139 yards and two scores.

“Underdog or not, I don’t think it’s going to affect us at all,” Mooney said.

“To be honest, no, we don’t look at it that way.”

In its second-round win, Huntley held Fremd to three points through the first three quarters. It was an impressive performance, but for the 27 points the Raiders allowed in the fourth quarter. The No. 1 focus for the defense this week will be Loyola’s jack of all trades, Jake Marwede.

Marwede is committed to play tight end at Duke next year. But in Loyola’s second-round win over Oswego East, the 6-foot-5, 238-pound senior scored playing tight end, wide receiver and quarterback.

“He does a lot of different things,” Zimolzak said. “We’ve noticed that

Quarterfinal pairings

he takes up a lot of our focus.”

Marwede takes snaps in wildcat looks, although quarterback Tommy Times and days this week for quarterfinal football playoff games involving local teams: Herion takes the majority of the snaps.

Wide receiver David Terrell Jr. poses a Class 8A No. 1 Loyola (11-0) at No. 24 Huntley (8-3), deep threat.

“They’re talented all across the 1 p.m. Saturday board,” Zimolzak said. “We see things Class 7A that we can attack, but they’re pretty No. 4 Fenwick (10-1) at No. 28 Jacobs (7-4), solid all around. That’s the difficult 3 p.m. Saturday part. But in the playoffs, that’s what Class 6A you’re going to see.”

No. 12 Lake Forest (8-3) at No. 1 Prairie The Ramblers average 42 points a Ridge (11-0), 1 p.m. Saturday game. For Kowalski and the defense, No. 3 Cary-Grove (10-1) at No. 7 DeKalb it’s a tall order. Huntley will be trying (9-2), 1 p.m. Saturday to reach its first semifinal since the Class 5A 2001 season, when it competed in Class No. 14 Marian Central (7-4) at No. 7 Vernon 4A.

Perburg (11-0), 7 p.m. Friday sonally, I think we can do it. It will be even more exciting if we can get everyone out here and pull off the win. they, obviously, run a lot of their plays We’re excited, but we’re not satisfied through him, around him.

Anderson resigns as coach

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmdia.com Jon Anderson did not want to quit coaching Dundee-Crown’s baseball team, but he also did not want to shortchange his players.

Anderson was forced to make a difficult choice and stepped down as coach Wednesday. He informed his senior players and coaching staff in a meeting.

“It was a tough decision, and I have mixed emotions that I did resign,” Anderson said. “With things that are happening with myself, and moving forward with some opportunities for the spring, I can’t be in two places at once.

And it’s not fair for the [players] if I’m

only there 75 percent of the time.”

Anderson coached the Chargers for four seasons, during which time they were 61-67. His first team, in 2013, won a Class 4A regional championship.

“Jon has done a remarkable job with D-C’s baseball program,” D-C athletic director Steve Gertz said.

Anderson co-teaches a biology class and mainly teaches special education in District 300.

“There are some opportunities I’ve been working on in the district that have come to fruition,” he said. “It was nice to see, but I kind of needed to make a decision. I love coaching, and I want the kids to be successful. I’ll be around to help make the transition smooth.”

Northern Illinois quarterback Ryan Graham carries the ball against Toledo in the first half Wednesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field, home of the White Sox.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: TOLEDO 31, NORTHERN ILLINOIS 24

Late TD likely ends Huskies’ bowl streak

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – The streak is over.

After making a bowl game in eight consecutive seasons, barring something truly strange, Northern Illinois will not make the postseason after falling, 31-24, to Toledo on a last-minute touchdown Wednesday night in the first football game played at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Toledo senior running back Kareem Hunt scored on a 2-yard run with 1:15 remaining to give the Rockets their first win over Northern Illinois since 2009.

“I told them in the locker room that I was extremely proud of them,” NIU coach Rod Carey said about the Huskies after the loss. “I think they played extremely hard tonight. ... That’s one thing that I give the leadership of this team a ton of credit, they have not flinched and they’ve been getting better and better. There’s some big picture things out there, but they’ve done a great job of blocking that out and just going to work.”

Playing without starting quarterback Anthony Maddie, who was a game-time decision, the Huskies (3-7 overall, 3-3 Mid-American Conference West) surrendered a two-possession lead in the second half, and with seven losses on the season, they can’t make the six wins needed to earn automatic bowl qualification.

Sophomore quarterback Ryan Graham, who was thrust into the spotlight after leading the Huskies to a comeback win last season at Toledo after Drew Hare went down with an Achilles inju-

ry, started in place of Maddie. He finished 24 for 43 with 221 yards and three touchdowns but threw the game-sealing interception in the closing seconds on a deep pass down the middle to Christian Blake.

“We got the look we wanted, I just underthrew it,” Graham said.

Maddie, who has started the past five games since original starting quarterback Drew Hare was lost for the year with a leg injury in the second week of the season, injured his leg toward the end of the first half in last week’s win over Bowling Green but came back to play the second half against the Falcons.

Graham connected with Blake on a 19-yard touchdown to give the Huskies a 21-10 lead with 6:09 remaining in the third quarter before the Rockets scored 14 consecutive points to take the lead.

After NIU kicker Christian Hagan tied it with a 22-yard field goal, the Rockets went 71 yards on nine plays before Hunt scored the game-winning touchdown.

NIU senior wide receiver Kenny Golladay had a season-high 14 receptions for 143 yards and a touchdown, senior running back Joel Bouagnon had 84 rushing yards, and junior cornerback Shawun Lurry made his second interception of the year. Golladay has 1,023 receiving yards and is the first Huskie to have two 1,000-plus receiving yard seasons.

The game against the Rockets was the latest attempt for NIU to gain some attention in the Chicago area, with the game in the White Sox’s ballpark being dubbed the “Chi-town Showdown.”

The announced attendance was 10,180.

Butler, Wade pull no punches after loss to Hawks

By JOE COWLEY

HAWKS 115, BULLS 107

jcowley@suntimes.com ATLANTA – Jimmy Butler’s message to his team was simple Wednesday night.

Get butts in the chairs and chairs in the film room.

Players, coaches, himself, heck, team trainers if it will help.

The last thing Butler wants to go through is another season of lost opportunity, all wrapped up by the time the regular season comes to an end.

“It’s all of us,’’ Butler said, after the Bulls’ 115-107 loss to Atlanta at Phillips Arena. “Everybody in this locker room, including myself, the coaches, we have to start knowing what we’re supposed to be doing.

“I understand guys just came off a back-to-back, guys are shooters, nonshooters, whatever it might be. I think we just have to do what we’re supposed to do. The scouting report, we pay attention to it. And then we get away from it as soon as that ball is thrown up in the air and we get to battling. We lock in on that and we’ll be fine.’’

Bulls guard Jimmy Butler drives against Atlanta Hawks forward Thabo Sefolosha during the second half Wednesday in Atlanta.

Butler’s plea to making sure they can lock in and stay locked in?

“You have to study the film,’’ Butler said.

It didn’t look like Butler missed much of what was asked of him. The two-time All-Star scored a season-high 39 points, handed out seven assists and nabbed six steals.

Playing Robin to his Batman was

Dwyane Wade, who had 25 points and grabbed five steals.

Not only did Wade agree with Butler’s assessment, but took it a step further. Knowing the game plan and executing it is one thing, knowing when it’s not working and changing it up, well, that has to be on the table.

“I definitely agree with studying film,’’ Wade said. “You’d be surprised with how many players probably don’t study op-

ponent. If a player likes to go right, you should know he likes to go right.’’

But then Wade pointed out that the players have to know when something isn’t working on the defensive end, and get that message to the coaches if they don’t see it themselves.

“For me, I’m a firm believer in don’t give a team one look,’’ Wade said. “When you’re giving them a constant one look all the time it’s easy for a team to get comfortable, and that’s what [Atlanta] did early. Then we changed a little bit and started giving them different looks, and we were able to get back in the game.

“That’s the one thing we need to focus in on as a group is you come in a game with a game plan, but if a team is exploiting that game plan early, you’ve gotta get out of it pretty fast and make adjustments. That’s something we’re still learning together.’’

When it was asked of Wade whether that falls on the coaching staff, the veteran said, “It’s on the players to communicate. I mean we’re out there on the floor and we see certain things, so definitely it’s on us and it’s on our coaching staff as well. It’s on all of us.”

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley tions for the past 30-plus years. Basore is a fixture at many outdoors shows with his historical fishing lure exhibit.

He does it for love, not money, and volunteers hour upon hour explaining the history of the sport to the public.

If you’ve ever been to a show at Rosemont, Schaumburg or Arlington Park, you’ve seen Basore. He’s the guy with the winning smile standing beside showcases chock full of the most incredibly interesting fishing lures you’ve ever seen. Basore always has all the time in the world to talk to the public, sharing anecdotes and stories about his collection of treasure.

Basore is extremely active in introducing children to fishing. He hosts scout groups and school groups and often offers them on-water lessons.

Basore is truly one of the good guys in the fishing world. He truly deserves his place as a member of the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame. Congratulations, my friend.

••• Please allow me to pat myself on the back just a little. On Oct. 5, I wrote, “This year? I already plan to have a big red “C” Chicago Cubs logo tattooed on my right calf on Wednesday, Nov. 2, the day after the Cubs win the 2016 World Series. Maybe I’ll have the tattoo artist put a big Canadian muskie on my left calf.”

OK, so I was a day off. Who else had the nerve to pick a Cubs World Series championship a month before it actually happened and commit it to ink on paper?

That said, I have not yet had my skin injected with the ink of a tattoo artist. Am I afraid? No. Am I reneging?

Definitely not. I have just delayed a little because I know absolutely nothing about the art of body decoration and

could use some help.

I’m not looking for someone to perform a work of art. I’m just looking for a Cubs logo. If any of you fine readers could steer me to a tattoo parlor whose work you can recommend that is clean and safe and does decent work, I would appreciate any help you can give me.

FISHING REPORT Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from

Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “I have gotten good reports of walleye and white bass at the McHenry Dam. You do have to sort through the drum that you will inevitably be catching. The walleyes and white bass are taking minnows on jigs. As the temperatures begin to drop, watch for fish, particularly panfish to move into the shallow. They’ll be in the exact same places you’ll find them for the beginning of the ice season when it sets in. It’s time for the whitetail deer rut. It’s time to hit those stands and blinds and help build up the harvest numbers that have been low so far this season. Call 815-455-2040 for an update on any of these reported areas.”

Fox Chain: Chris Taurisano of T-Bone Guide Service (tboneguideservice. com – 630-330-0090) sends word, “This week on the Fox Chain, the weather was beautiful. I do, however, believe that the cold weather will bring a better bite.

The multispecies bite was still decent, but the nicer the weather, the tougher the muskie bite became. Minnows were still the best for multispecies. Jigging Raps are productive on some days, too.

Panfish have been good in the shallows on plastics. I’m looking forward to the cold and fishing for the heaviest fish of the season. I will end this guiding season a few days before Christmas. I do have a few dates left open.”

Lake Geneva: Lowrance electronics expert Mark O’Neill (structure-fishing. com) sends word, “Fishing continues to be productive on Lake Geneva. Actually it is very good with fish all over the water column. Water temperatures

continue to slowly drop and are now in the 57- to 58-degree range with our September-like weather. We caught all quality fish this weekend with the best success being in the 25- to 28-foot range with various types of minnow presentations.

“The docks are still in at Williams Bay and in downtown Lake Geneva. I would assume at this point the others around the lake are still in, as well. My guess is that fishing will remain quite good and get only better as the weather gets colder, but unfortunately all the docks are usually out by the end of Thanksgiving weekend on the lake.”

NOTE Archery deer hunting: Through

Sunday, Illinois archery deer hunters harvested a total of 25,479 deer, compared with 25,677 for the same period in 2015. The harvest to date has consisted of 51 percent does and 48 percent males, but harvest during the past week was two-thirds male as rutting activity increased. The top five counties were Pike (968), Fulton (679), Adams (598), Jefferson (579), and JoDaviess (541).

The totals for some selected northern Illinois counties are McHenry (287), Lake (105), Winnebago (267), Kane (108), DuPage (10), DeKalb (94), Boone (74) and Cook (39).

A limited number of Illinois firearm and muzzleloader deer permits are available over the counter from DNR Direct license and permit vendors through Dec. 4, or until quotas are exhausted.

Illinois Archery Deer and Illinois Archery Fall Turkey seasons are open through Jan. 15, 2017. Permits are available over-the-counter at DNR Direct license and permit vendors.

Deer hunters statewide are encouraged to allow samples to be taken for chronic wasting disease testing from adult deer they harvest.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote, “Here is a shocking statistic from our friends at the Wisconsin [Department of Natural Resources]: Research shows that avid Wisconsin hunters face a 1-in-20 chance of a tree-stand fall in their lifetime. For that reason, Wisconsin Hunter Safety administrator Jon King is urging Wisconsin hunters to wear body harnesses when using tree stands in light of new research documenting injuries and deaths from falls.”

I was devastated Monday to read that a good friend of mine, Tommy Skarlis, a top star in the world of walleye fishing, had to have emergency surgery performed after an extremely serious tree-stand fall last weekend.

Iowa’s Skarlis was in grave condition before the surgery, and I am awaiting word about the prognosis for his recovery. Skarlis is one of the nicest guys in the business and is loved by a legion of fans. I am praying for Skarlis and urge you to do the same.

Above all, please, please, please remember to strap yourself into those tree stands with a full-body harness and a tether line. That simple action could save your life.

BETTING ODDS

Winning streak reaches 7

By STEVE OVERBE The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS – Artemi Panarin scored 25 seconds into overtime, and Corey Crawford made 27 saves, leading the Blackhawks over the St. Louis Blues, 2-1, Wednesday night for their seventh straight win.

Crawford won his sixth consecutive game while improving to 15-5-5 against the Blues. The Hawks have earned a point in nine straight games.

Panarin scored on a wrist shot from the slot for his sixth goal of the season.

St. Louis’ Alex Pietrangelo tied it with 2:11 left in the third on a drive from the point that squeezed past Crawford, who got a piece of the shot.

Early in the second period, Marian Hossa pounced on the rebound of a shot

by Gustav Forsling and shot it in for a 1-0 lead. It was his seventh goal of the season and sixth in the past seven games.

The Hawks have outscored opponents, 30-15, during this nine-game run.

Jake Allen made 28 saves for the Blues. He has lost three of his past four and fell to 5-4-2.

This is the Hawks’ longest winning streak since they won 12 in a row from

Pet of the Week LILY B 10 YEARS 9 MONTHS OLD FEMALE DILUTE TORTI DSH This beautiful but shy lady catches everyone's attention. She is noted for her gorgeous gray fur with the spot of orange on the top of her head. She also has beautiful light green eyes.

She has spent the last nine years at the shelter after being abandoned by her guardian. Living in the shelter has not been easy for her. She does get along with some of the other cats in Cat Cove but she has not found a real buddy. You can usually find her snuggled in a cat bed, on a shelf or other high place. When she knows you she enjoys getting petted and she will sit on your lap for more attention. She has a good appetite when wet food and treats come out. She only weighs about 8 pounds in spite of her good appetite. She will need a patient guardian to give her the time, love and space she will need to adjust to a home. We think she would do best in a quiet home with adults. November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month. For the entire month of November all of our dogs and cats 5+ will have a waived adoption fee to an approved person 55+.

‘YOU NEED TO TELL THE WORLD’

By JAMI KUNZER

A

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

t age 90, Erane Scully of Woodstock still sees her late mother’s finger in the air, telling her, “It’s your job to spread the word as much as you can.”

Her mother had left behind a diary on scraps of paper, encouraged Scully to tell their story. It’s a story Scully eventually told in her book, “The Carrion Vine,” of their 9,000-mile journey from Poland to Siberia during World War II, about one unbelievable event after another as the pair endured a Russian gulag, or labor camp, in Siberia.

And it’s a story that will be told in a documentary of the same name premiering Nov. 14 to open Classic Cinemas Woodstock Theatre’s new Second Monday Film Club. The series will feature art, foreign, classic and documentary films on the second Monday of the each month at the theater, 209 Main St., Woodstock.

Created by Front Row Productions of Woodstock, “The Carrion Vine” will be shown at 1 and 7 p.m. Nov. 14 at the theater, with Scully at both screenings and available for question and answer sessions. Tickets cost $6 for the matinee and for seniors and $8 for evening shows.

“It was really unexpected because I thought documentaries never went to a movie theater,” Scully said of the upcoming showings.

She immediately thought of fulfilling her mother’s wishes. “I figured well, hey, that’s one way we can do it,” she said.

Scully was only 14 years old in the fall of 1939 when she and her mother, Vita Kew, escaped western Poland as the Nazis moved west during World War II. They traveled east into the Russian-occupied side of Poland only to be captured and placed in the Russian gulag.

It’s a story few know, but one experienced not only by Scully and her mother but by hundreds of thousands of innocent people placed into Russian labor camps during World War II. “It opens a picture of history that was never mentioned,” Scully said. “The atrocities of Hilter, of course, that was publicized and should be publicized. … It was something that should never be forgotten. But then the Russian part, nobody ever heard what happened to the people under the Russian government.”

WOODSTOCK RESIDENT TELLS STORY OF RUSSIAN IMPRISONMENT DURING WORLD WAR II IN NEW DOCUMENTARY BASED ON BOOK

ABOVE: 90-year-old Holocaust survivor Erane Scully in her Woodstock home. The film documentary “The Carrion Vine” has been adapted from a book Scully wrote about her experience being captured by Russian soldiers and sent to a Siberian labor camp in 1939. She was 14 years old at the time. The film will be shown Nov. 14 at the Woodstock theater as a kick-off to a new Second Monday Film Club. On the book cover, Scully is seen as a teenager finally able to leave the labor camp with her mother.

• CARRION VINE

Continued from page 4 It was a different time, when information was scarce and news spread based on rumors, Scully said. Scully and her mother knew little of what was happening in the world around them as bombs fell.

“It was chaos,” Scully said. “The whole country was under huge chaos.”

She relied on the strength and encouragement of her mother, whom she still pictures in her beautiful French suit and high heels walking long roads, her hands full of bundles, trying to find safety.

Put to work in the gulag for about two years, they cut trees, trimmed branches, sewed, whatever they were told to do.

The sign over the gate at the camp read in Russian, “The one who doesn’t work doesn’t eat.”

Even after they were freed, it was

years before they could return home, eventually ending up in India, along with other Polish refugees. This is where Scully learned English and met Gandhi, who asked to hear her story.

Years later, as Scully worked to finish her book, publishers said she needed to tell the story in first-person. Instead, it’s told as a historically accurate, nonfiction account based on her mother’s diary and her own memories. Telling it in first person was too painful, Scully said. She eventually found a printer in Wisconsin to create 1,000 copies of “The Carrion Vine” in 2012. It now is on its fourth reprint.

“There’s so much to the story,” said Joanie Rowe of Front Row Productions.

Her husband, Dean, actually started the documentary more than a year ago, but died last summer before finishing it.

Joanie Rowe took it upon herself to finish the documentary, which also features commentary from Todd Culp, a

professor of political science and history at McHenry County College, and historically accurate footage of images from that time period.

Rowe had to edit down hours’ worth of Scully’s narration into the hour-long documentary, but she believes it reflects the essence of what Scully went through.

“We hope it touches a lot of people,” she said, adding she’s looking into other venues to share the documentary, including area high schools for use in their history classes.

“Her mother, after all is said and done, told Erane about how she had kept little scraps of paper of every event they went through,” Rowe said. “She hid them in her suitcase. She said to Erane, ‘You have to take this and add your thoughts to it, and you need to tell the world about this story. It’s very important.’

“It took her a long time, but she finally got the story.”

German soldiers of Friedrich von Paulus’s Sixth Army march into captivity. Estimates of Germans taken in the Stalingrad pocket vary; some contemporary sources said 300,000 men were trapped in the pocket, but casualties and evacuations reduced that number prior to surrender.

About 90,000 German soldiers actually were surrendered; only 5-6,000 returned to Germany after the war. The truck in the center of the photo is a Soviet-built GAZ Type AA, a licensed copy of the Ford Model AA.

Despite technical flaws, Opera House musical promotes family values REVIEWS Richard Pahl

TownSquare Players is ringing in the holiday season at the Woodstock Opera House with “A Christmas Story: The Musical.” This old-fashioned musical comedy is based on the 1983 film of the same name, which has become a holiday staple. Adapted from tales of radio personality Jean Shepherd, the movie was turned into a play in 2000.

This musical version, with book

by Joseph Robinette and music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, played on Broadway in 2012. Fans of the movie will appreciate the charms of the original score. Memorable tunes include the production numbers “Ralphie to the Rescue!” and “You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out.” The TSP production features direction by Shannon Lee Day, assisted

by Aaron Gomez, musical direction

by Rosemarie Aiello, choreography

by Billy Seger, set concept by Tiffany Matras, lighting design by Dan Frank, costumes by Susan Colwell and sound

by Lisa Dawson.

“A Christmas Story” is the tale of young Ralphie Parker (Matthew Savas) and the Christmas when he longed for a Red Ryder Carbine-Action BB Gun. Other principal players include Mother (Christy Johanson), the Old Man (Tony Rakittke), younger brother Randy (Gustavo Calhoun) and schoolteacher Ms. Shields (Catherine Yore). Jean Shepherd (Anthony Barnett) narrates throughout. They are ably supported by a large ensemble of kids and adults.

The most successful scene in the show takes place at Santa’s Station in Higbee’s Department Store on Christmas Eve. Here, the production values dazzle with handsome set pieces, colorful costumes and amusing staging.

Another visually appealing moment features the stylish family automobile. The entire production would benefit from more details like these.

Too much of the show is played on a bare stage.

The opening night performance seemed uneven. The children’s ensemble confidently outsang the adults. Lighting cues and body mics sometimes lagged behind the action.

“A CHRISTMAS STORY: THE MUSICAL” WHEN: Nov. 4-20 WHERE: Woodstock Opera House, 121 Van Buren St., Woodstock COST & INFO: Presented by TownSquare Players. Set in the 1940s in the fictional town of Hohman, Indiana, the music follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker and his quest for the Holy Grail of Christmas gifts – an official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Schedule: 8 p.m. Nov. 4, 3 p.m. Nov. 5 & 6, 8 p.m. Nov. 11, 3 & 8 p.m.

Nov. 12, 3 p.m. Nov. 13, 8 p.m. Nov.18, 3 and 8 p.m. Nov. 19 and 3 p.m. Nov. 20. Tickets: $13, $18 and $23. Tickets and information: www.woodstockoperahouse.com.

Whenever some actors wear body mics and others don’t, there is the danger of acoustic imbalance; this should be remedied by more careful staging. The show and settings would be better served by lighting focused on solos and intimate scenes.

Despite technical shortcomings, there is much to enjoy. Young Savas sings sincerely and appealingly and carries off the lead role with aplomb.

Johanson effectively presents some lovely ballads. Although the staging of “What a Mother Does” seems too busy, “Just Like That” illustrates the

loving nature with which she safeguards her entire family. Rakittke tackles comedy and drama with a muscular baritone and physicality.

Calhoun charms as the annoying/cute little brother.

In the classroom, in big production numbers and in fantasy sequences, Yore is an audience favorite. April Noel as Mrs. Schwartz and Riley Coudal as her son provoke laughter in a brief cameo. Joseph Walsdorf as Flick, Ryan Lange as Scut Farkus and Peter Walsdorf as Dill also impress.

Although one might wish for a more polished Jean Shepherd as a radio personality, Barnett effectively sets the tone for the show’s final scenes.

After so much hilarity, the show’s genuine sweetness shines through.

A brotherly duet is followed by “A Christmas Story,” which starts as a family quartet and builds gloriously, including a thrilling a cappella section, underscored by the live orchestra in its finest moment.

“A Christmas Story: The Musical” will restore your faith in family values.

• Richard Pahl has been a working actor and director for 35 years. Most recently, he appeared in “Backwards Broadway,” performed “The London Mosquitoes” at Side Street Studio in Elgin and directed “Ordinary Days” at Steel Beam Theatre in St. Charles.

MCC’s ‘Heidi Chronicles’ solidly depicts women’s movement Regina M. Belt-Daniels Jay Geller gets it. When Geller directs at MCC’s Black Box Theater, his productions always are well-paced, engaging and intelligently chosen topics and casts. And that’s true for MCC’s current production, “The Heidi Chronicles”

by Wendy Wasserstein, with one misgiving. The cast’s clear diction and expressions are superb and the show’s transitions are quick, but, too often, I was left wondering if these talented young actors merely were enacting a historical recitation of a series of vignettes. With their youth and experience, can they understand, do they understand, the changing role of the women’s movement of the 1960s through the late ’80s, or is it more a taught appreciation of what went on in U.S. history?

Wasserstein’s “The Heidi Chronicles” won the 1989 Pulitzer for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, and widely is recognized as her most celebrated, if not best, play. (She also wrote “The Sisters Rosenweig,” “An American Daughter” and “Third.”) Having seen countless touring productions and community theater productions of “The Heidi Chronicles,” I have to say it’s not a very good play. It may be wry and comical at times, but the fault is in the written construct: heavy on dialogue, lacking in real character development and subtly weaving a women’s message through a series of era jumping vignettes. We follow the life of Heidi Holland from 1965 at Miss Crain’s 35th annual Winter Dance to her successful career as an high achieving (but emotionally fragile) art historian in the late 1980s.

Under Geller’s direction, Heidi is played with great poise and understanding by Emily Piesens. Piesens possesses the ability to project both innocence and intelligence with a particularly expressive face (watch her in the “Hello, New York” segment!). I also marveled at her continued strong-word, perfect delivery of her lines, especially in the “I feel stranded” monologue. Naturally, most of the characters in “The Heidi Chronicles” are women, but there are two pivotal male roles: Peter Patrone, Heidi’s best friend, and Scoop Rosenbaum, her on-again, off-again lover.

Vince Calucci’s Scoop is charismatic, intelligent, cynical, swarmy and, well ... perfect. You want to hate him, but you just can’t. Sean Plott’s Peter is smooth, reflective and loyal, and he gets to

“THE HEIDI CHRONICLES” WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Nov. 3-5, 10-12 and 17-19 WHERE: McHenry County College Black Box Theatre, Building E, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake COST & INFO: A moving examination of the progress of a generation, from the socially and politically activist ’60s to the success-oriented ’80s – a time when the status of American women underwent profound, and sometimes unsettling, change. Tickets: $15 general public, $10 MCC students, faculty, staff, administration and alumni and seniors. Reservations: 815-455-8746 or jgeller@mchenry.edu. deliver some of the most endearing lines and anecdotes (“if we can’t marry, let us be great friends”) as he also questions where his life is headed. But it is Larissa Bell as Heidi’s friend, Susan, who shows the most character change – she’s a very animated physical and vocal actress.

The supporting cast of multiple characters (Sam Prather, Jessica Piekarski, Celia Villacres and Monica Hauschild) are attractive, energetic and definitely dedicated; I also appreciated their swift and smooth scene transitions as they carried in or removed set pieces between scenes.

The set by Thomas Kesling is minimal and perfect for the intimate Black Box – the two platforms, five pillars and projection screen are utilitarian and exactly what’s needed in that space. Susan Colwell’s costumes are period appropriate and compliment all the characters, with the exception of those unwieldly pregnancy bumps, which garnered in a lot of distracting scene-stealing chuckles and comments.

Rick Amundsen’s lighting enhances throughout, and there also is wonderful “trip down memory lane” music from the pre-show to the very end.

“The Heidi Chronicles” may be dated, but it’s worth dusting off and recognizing its powerful historical context for today’s complex feminism.

Our society still may value traditional roles and expectations, and we still may not be equal in pay and leadership, but we’ve come a long way, baby, and hopefully, Heidi would approve.

In Marriott’s ‘Singin’ In The Rain,’ casting is king REVIEWS

Danny Gardner stars as Don Lockwood in “Singin’ In the Rain,” running through Dec. 31 at Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire.

Paul Lockwood About 10 years back, The American Film Institute named the top 25 American movie musicals of all time. “My Fair Lady,” “Mary Poppins,” “The Sound of Music” and “West Side Story” all were in the top 10, but the top spot went to my personal favorite, the classic 1952 MGM musical “Singin’ in the Rain,” with the amazing Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds. The late film critic Roger Ebert agreed, calling it “the greatest Hollywood musical ever made.”

While a 1985 Broadway staging of the musical ran for more than 360 performances and received two Tony Award nominations, the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire realizes the movie was a classic. So it doesn’t tinker too much with success. Its new production, directed

by William Brown, provides all the elements you’d want to see: • A fun plot about a fictional movie studio transitioning in the 1920s from silent pictures to sound.

• A lot of amazing dance numbers (applause, applause for four-time Jefferson Award-winning choreographer Tammy Mader), with tap dancing featured throughout.

• All those great songs you may remember from the 1952 movie, including “Good Mornin’,” “You Are My Lucky Star” and – of course – the title number, performed with joyful abandon in the midst of a steady downpour.

At the Saturday afternoon performance I saw, the hard-working 21-member cast earned its standing ovation from a packed house that laughed in all the right places and applauded every musical number.

As I heard one audience member say after the show, “They don’t make ’em like that anymore.”

For those unfamiliar with the plot, here’s a brief synopsis: Don Lockwood is a big Hollywood silent picture star (a marquee on the set in the Marriott theater promotes the premiere of “The Royal Rascal,” the “biggest picture of 1927”), and Lina Lamont is his female costar.

Lockwood has a beautiful singing and speaking voice, even though he doesn’t need to use it on film, while Lamont is at the other end of the spectrum (i.e., the vocal equivalent of chalk on a blackboard).

Lockwood’s best friend is former

“SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN” WHEN: Through Dec. 31 WHERE: Marriott Theatre, 10 Marriott Drive, Lincolnshire COST & INFO: Tap your toes and sing along in this splashy adaptation of the beloved MGM classic. Filled with every memorable moment from the film and a downpour of unforgettable songs,”Singin’ In The Rain” is full of old-fashioned musical comedy joy. Tickets start at $47.

Tickets and information: 847-634-0200 or www.marriotttheatre.com or www. ticketmaster.com vaudeville partner Cosmo Brown, whose sense of humor is almost as well-honed as his musical talent. Enter aspiring actress Kathy Selden, who has a meet-cute with Lockwood and enchants him, partly because she doesn’t immediately swoon at his feet. Meanwhile, the movie studio has a lot riding on Lockwood and Lamont continuing their series of box office successes, but the success of “The Jazz Singer,” the first “talking picture,” means the duo’s next film must have sound. That shouldn’t be an issue, but even beyond the prob-

lems with the sound of her voice, Lamont’s abilities are limited (e.g., as Brown says at one point, “She can’t sing, she can’t dance, she can’t act – she’s a triple threat”), and Lamont is jealous of Selden as a rival for Lockwood.

In Marriott’s production, casting is king. Danny Gardner, as Lockwood, makes his Marriott debut and wins over the audience handily as a man in love.

When Lockwood uses lighting, a fan and mist to set the mood before singing “You Were Meant for Me” to Selden (Mary Michael Patterson), Gardner shows you the charmer at his most charming. Gardner’s tap dancing expertise is met, step for step, by Richard Riaz Yoder, as Brown.

A show highlight is Yoder’s version of “Make ‘Em Laugh,” which achieves the title’s objective, culminating in an unexpected costume change in the midst of a ton of physical humor. When Gardner and Yoder team up for “Moses Supposes,” their serious vocal coach can’t help but be swept up in the dancing fun.

Also, Patterson has a lovely singing voice, and she makes the chemistry between Lockwood and Selden believable. Finally, Alexan-

dra Palkovic, as Lamont, made me eagerly anticipate every scene she was in, because I knew I’d chuckle.

A reminder that performances at the Marriott Theatre are in the round. That means you may not be able to get the full effect of certain scenes if you’re behind the actor (e.g., when Lamont is facing a movie camera in a sequence humorously addressing how to mike her).

But that’s a minor quibble. Overall, just like the cake Selden pops out of early on, this show is “full of delicious surprises.” Trust me on this: “Singin’ in the Rain” is a lot of fun, and I’m not all wet.

• Paul Lockwood is a past president of TownSquare Players (TSP) and an occasional community theater actor in McHenry County, appearing in more than two dozen plays and musicals since he and his wife moved to Woodstock in early 2001. Recent productions in which he’s acted include “Into the Woods,” “The Drowsy Chaperone” and “A Christmas Carol” (2014) at the Woodstock Opera House. He’s also performed in Get LIT(erary) dramatic readings at Le Petit Marché and a LAB Series Reading at the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake.

‘Arrival’ lumbers, and that’s not just the aliens

MORE ONLINE The new movies “Almost Christmas” (above) and “Shut in” also are scheduled for release Friday. Find more reviews online at NWHerald.com.

By MARK KENNEDY The Associated Press

It turns out when space aliens eventually do arrive on Earth – and, wouldn’t you know it, they traveled all that way without bothering to learn any of our languages beforehand? – we won’t need any fancy high-tech gizmos with LED screens to communicate. All we’ll need is a simple whiteboard and a black marker to break the intergalactic ice and say “hi.”

That’s among some of the hard-toswallow premises of “Arrival,” a sluggish, naturalistic meditation on loss and time that also happens to have lumbering spidery, squid-like aliens who arrive in spacecraft that resemble massive watermelon seeds.

The film tries to straddle the line between serious sci-fi that examines Big Ideas (like “Solaris”) and the kind of popcorn-munching, go-get-those-slimycritters summer blockbusters (hello, “Independence Day”). It doesn’t always succeed and ends on such a muddled philosophical note you may need the whiteboard back for a quick explanation to be mapped out.

Amy Adams stars as linguist Dr. Louise Banks – “the top of everyone’s list when it comes to translations” – who is enlisted by the military to help communicate with one of 12 alien ships that suddenly appear on Earth, silent and eerie. (Wait, they’re shy?)

She’s aided by an admirable Jeremy Renner, a theoretical physicist, who nicely doesn’t end up being smarmy and

“ARRIVAL” STARRING: Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker PLOT: A linguist is recruited by the military to assist in translating alien communications.

RATED: PG-13 for brief strong language RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 56 minutes condescending. Forest Whitaker plays a grim military leader trying to protect the pair’s work despite pressure from upstairs to bomb the aliens into calamari.

Adams, whose character is reeling from personal turmoil, delivers a heartwrenchingly beautiful performance using her ability to communicate a half-dozen emotions just standing still.

Wonder, sorrow and anguish are written all over her face.

But director Denis Villeneuve (“Sicario”) sometimes gets lost in repetition and blind alleys, causing the inherent tautness of the story to go slack. Why do we spend so much time in a shaft inside the alien’s ship? How many times must we watch Adams trudge off to be decontaminated?

The plot is based on Ted Chiang’s “Story of Your Life” and adapted by Eric Heisserer. The leap to the screen has been benefited by the slow reveal of the aliens, a gorgeous sequence in which we follow a helicopter to a landing site and the nifty way the filmmakers show the aliens’ visual language, which resembles stains on a coffee table made by a per-

spiring beer pint. (It brings new meaning to Banks’ statement, “Language is messy.”)

Once communication has been made – actually, that whiteboard seems less impressive when we learn the aliens had telepathic powers all along – the real bad guys end up being that old faceless movie punching bag: The military.

The film virtually goes off the rails at this point as tanks and guns pointed from by-the-book soldiers threaten to undo the good will. Whether the aliens are peaceful or malevolent – are they offering a tool or a weapon? – turns this tale into another run-of-the-mill alien invasion yarn.

The ghostly music by Johann Johannsson – with an assist by Max Richter – truly is a thoughtful soundscape, and the film’s inherent stillness is nicely broken by the military’s engines of war, which threaten communication in more ways than one.

But perhaps the biggest problem with “Arrival” is that first contact already clearly has been made – to Steven Spielberg and his masterful “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”

Whether subconsciously or as an overt nod to the master, Villeneuve echoes Spielberg’s use of edgy soldiers and his heroes sleeplessly obsessing about alien communication, right down to using clay models and kids’ drawings. Both films even share the image of backlit aliens speaking to humans while in a cloud of fog.

So, with all due respect to “Arrival,” rent that 1977 film instead.

Tips to stop drafts, save money and improve your home (BPT) - Can you imagine keeping your windows open all winter long?

The heat loss, cold drafts and all that money spent on wasted energy would be staggering. But if your home has folding pull-down attic stairs, a whole-house fan, a fireplace or clothes dryer, you may be doing the equivalent of leaving the windows open every day.

Drafts from these often overlooked spaces waste energy and cost you big in the form of higher energy bills.

They are also the largest source of heating and cooling loss in the home.

Most homeowners are well aware of the benefits that caulk and weather-stripping provide to minimize energy loss and drafts. But what can you do about drafts from the four largest energy leaks in your home - the folding attic stairs, the whole house fan, the fireplace and the clothes dryer? Here are some tips and techniques that can easily, quickly and inexpensively seal and insulate these areas.

Attic stairs When attic stairs are installed, a large hole (approximately 10 square feet) is created in your ceiling. The ceiling and insulation that were there have to be removed, leaving only a thin, unsealed, sheet of plywood.

Because your attic space is ventilated directly to the outdoors, the attic space can be very cold in the winter, and in the summer it can be very hot. And what is separating your conditioned house from your unconditioned attic? Only a thin sheet of plywood.

Try this yourself: at night, turn on the attic light and shut the attic stairway door. If you see any light coming through, it means your heated and air-conditioned air is leaking out of these large gaps in your home,

24-hours a day.

An easy, low-cost solution to this problem is to add an insulated attic stair cover that seals the stairs and stops drafts and energy loss. Add the desired amount of insulation over the cover to restore the insulation removed from the ceiling.

Whole-house fans and air-conditioning vents When whole-house fans are installed, a large hole (up to 16 square feet or larger) is created in your ceiling. The ceiling and insulation that were there have to be removed, leaving only the drafty ceiling shutter between you and the outdoors.

An easy solution to this problem is to add a whole house fan shutter seal.

Made from white textured flexible insulation, you simply install the seal over the ceiling shutter, secure it with Velcro, and trim it to fit.

The shutter seal can also be used to seal and insulate air conditioning vents, and is easily removed when desired.

Fireplaces It’s ironic that while fireplaces are intended to heat up a house, they can create some seriously cold drafts.

Fireplaces, especially during the winter heating season, are energy losers. One study showed that an open damper on an unused fireplace in a well-insulated house can raise overall heating-energy consumption by 30 percent. Another recent study showed that for many consumers, their heating bills may be more than $500 higher each winter because of the drafts and wasted energy caused by fireplaces.

Even if the damper is shut, it’s not air-tight, and glass doors don’t stop

the drafts either. Your chimney is an opening that leads directly outdoors - just like an open window and like a giant straw sucking your expensive heated or air-conditioned air right out of your house!

A simple way to avoid this problem is to add a Fireplace Plug to your fireplace. Available from Battic Door, a company known for their energy conservation products, the Fireplace Plug is an inflatable pillow that seals the fireplace damper, eliminating drafts, odors, and noise. The pillow is removed whenever the fireplace is used, then reinserted after.

Clothes dryer exhaust ducts In many homes, the room with the clothes dryer is the coldest room in the house. In the winter, cold drafts come in through the duct, through your dryer and into your house.

Many dryer vents use a sheet-metal

flapper to try to reduce these drafts.

This is very primitive technology that does not provide a positive seal to stop the drafts.

Compounding the problem is that over time, lint clogs the flapper valve, causing it to stay open.

A surprisingly simple solution to this problem is to add a dryer vent seal.

This will reduce unwanted drafts, and also keeps out pests, bees and rodents. The vent will remain closed unless the dryer is in use. When the dryer is in use, a floating shuttle rises to allow warm air, lint and moisture to escape.

One Stop & Shop Holiday Open House

Doug Larson, a columnist and editor, said, “If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of ...” what?

Sometimes you seem to be in a contract with a shortage of trumps.

Then, after assuming that partner misbid again, you must decide whether it is better to play on trumps to reduce the number of tricks the opponents can take in the suit, or to try to score as many ruffing tricks as you can.

Which approach is better for South in this two-spade contract after West leads the diamond nine?

Unusually, the auction looks perfect! Yes, East is stronger than he might have been, but to double two spades would have been dangerous.

Here, it would have left West the unpleasant choice between minus 470 (two spades doubled and made) and minus 500 (three hearts doubled down two; surely North would have doubled).

South took East’s diamond queen (a silly play that did not cost) with the king and played his heart. West won with the ace and led his second diamond. Declarer put up dummy’s ace and played a spade to the king and ace. The defenders continued with a club to the ace, a diamond ruff, the club king, a club ruff and a fourth diamond, which promoted another trump trick for down two.

With winners outside spades and reasonably strong trumps, South should have played on spades. After three rounds, he could have attacked clubs and eventually lost only two spades, one heart and two clubs.

Larson said that there would be a shortage of fishing poles!
