Good morning, McHenry County ...

Behind the alleys at King Pin Lanes I only knew his first name. Carl. He was the guy you had to see if you wanted to be a pinboy at King Pin Lanes in Fox River Grove.

There were certain rites of passage for a young man living in the Grove in the 1960s. You must play ice hockey on the Fox River. You must summit the Norge Ski Jump. You must storm Teddy Bettendorf’s castle, paint your name on the train trestle and infiltrate a company picnic for free food at the Picnic Grove. Optional rituals included bringing cool stuff home from the city dump, sneaking into the Grove Theater and doing at least one hour of hard time in the town’s jail cell.

But, back to Carl. As I opened the door and walked into the King Pin Lanes that Saturday morning, all heads at the bar turned to look at me. I saw Carl beckon me with a curl of his index finger.

“What can we do for you young man?”

“Um, I want to be a pinboy.”

There was a noticeable chuckle from the beer gallery. Carl continued …

“You look a bit on the skinny side.”

“I’m not skinny; I’m just wiry.”

“Well, do you think you can do the job?”

“It’s just pins and balls. I think I can figure that out.”

Carl told me to go grab two bowling pins from a nearby rack.

“Put those pins on the floor. If you can pick them both up with one hand, you’ve got the job.”

I looked down and stared at the pins. Two pins in one hand. Whether it was physics or slight of hand, I don’t know, but I simply crossed the pins at their necks, grabbed them at the juncture and lifted them up to victory. I was a pinboy!

Ah, the smell of the oil on the lanes, the swish of the gliding ball, the explosion of the pins and the feeling of pain as the No. 10 wooden soldier impacts upon your shin.

It was a game of cat and mouse as we bounced from one lane pit to its neighbor at the speed of strikes, picking up pins, chucking balls down the

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava rails and artfully dodging flying missiles.

We pinboys made 15 cents a line; a line being one bowler’s game. If you set two lanes on a league night, you could pick up almost $5, plus tips. Tips were usually coins sent sliding down the gutters, or, if the bowlers were generous, they’d wad a bill in the finger hole of a ball and shoot it down to you.

Besides the big bucks, we pinboys had the perk of bowling for free when there were no customers. On really slow nights we’d do trick shots, such as crowding 100 pins on one alley and seeing who could knock the most down. Or dropping a ball from the roof to see what it looked like on the inside. Or taking a running slide down the lane on our stomachs to see what it feels to be a bowling ball.

But, alas, my days as a pinboy ended when I graduated from high school. Carl soon sold the business, and eventually it went to automatic pinsetters, with the sweat and the bustle and the banter of the pinboys replaced by grease and gears and the growl of motors.

Today, you still can go bowling at King Pin Lanes. You can time travel back to classic vintage bowling: eight cozy lanes, paper score sheets, stubby pencils and house balls that have been rolling since Herbert Hoover.

And, if you listen carefully, you might just hear the faded echoes of the pinboys toiling in the pits. I’m the one in lane No. 4. That was my favorite.

• Michael Penkava taught a bunch of kids and wrote a bunch of stuff. A pin once flew past his ear and embedded itself in the wall behind him, quivering like a swine’s tail at a corn feast. He can be reached at mikepenkava@comcast.net.

‘IT’S A TRUE FRIENDSHIP’

Crystal Lake marks 20 years of partnership with Holzgerlingen, Germany

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Crystal Lake’s sister city of Holzgerlingen, Germany, is an older sister – much older.

Crystal Lake’s first white settlers came in 1836, and the city as we know it today was created in 1914 with the consolidation of two separate towns.

As for Holzgerlingen, it was first mentioned in writing in 1007. As for its first settlers, they arrived several decades or several centuries – historians aren’t quite sure – before a couple named Jo-

seph and Mary couldn’t find a place to stay in Bethlehem.

Against that timeline, 20 years is a historical drop in the bucket. But it was two decades ago that Crystal Lake and the town about 25 miles southwest of Stuttgart forged a bond that still exists today.

“It’s a true friendship,” said Tom Neis, owner of Neis Insurance and former chairman of the search committee that sought out a sister city.

Crystal Lake started searching in 1992 for a sister-city match in Germany, without a lot of success – the committee

early on chose to search Germany rather than sister cities in China, Argentina and several other countries. But, as is the case in a lot of partnerships, the solution was sitting in both Crystal Lake’s and Holzgerlingen’s backyards all along – a business they both had in common.

The search committee had repeatedly wooed German cities of comparable or larger population, only to get repeatedly rejected. The job of translating the correspondence ended up with Al Betz, a German-born employee of Eisenmann Corp. in Crystal Lake, a world-

wide, Germany-based manufacturer of systems for car painting, air pollution control, biogas and other applications.

Betz concluded that Crystal Lake would have better odds with smaller towns – because Germany is so urbanized, a town of similar size has little in common with a comparable American counterpart.

It so happened that Peter Eisenmann, chairman of the Crystal Lake plant, had a candidate in mind – Holzgerlingen, which also happened to be

IDOT, business owners discuss proposed Route 47 project

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The Illinois Department of Transportation held a meeting Friday at the Woodstock Public Library to go over a proposed project for Route 47 between Charles Road and Route 14.

“There are a number of safety concerns along this corridor in Woodstock that IDOT is trying to address with this project,” IDOT project manager Steve Schilke said. “With this meeting, we’re talking with and getting feedback from business owners to minimize impact and improve traffic through the critical areas.”

Still in the early stages, IDOT is proposing to create two lanes in each direction separated by a raised median. Schilke said the median would potentially reduce the area’s crash rates by 20 to 40 percent and create safer access for businesses.

IDOT also is proposing adding a sidewalk, bike path and five roundabouts along Route 47, including at the intersections of Lake Avenue and McConnell Road.

“Roundabouts have a lot of safety and operational benefits,” Schilke said.

“There are a number of safety concerns along this corridor in Woodstock that IDOT is trying to address with this project. With this meeting, we’re talking with and getting feedback from business owners to minimize impact and improve traffic through the critical areas.”

Steve Schilke

IDOT project manager However, several business owners on Route 47, such as Dr. Robert Haraden of the Family Dentistry of Woodstock and John Stassen of Stassen Insurance Agency, attended Friday’s meeting to express their concerns.

“If you want to see traffic improve at Route 47, they should put a roundabout at Charles Road and Route 47,” Haraden said. “To alleviate traffic, start in the country, not by these businesses.”

Stassen said his main concern is that the medians will hinder access into the businesses.

“This proposal is going to decrease the number of people we see,” Stassen said.

“But they seem like they are set on adding these medians.”

Stassen said the city is going to lose sales tax revenue and it’s going to have a negative effect on property values.

“Along with all that, I believe they are reporting certain things in their report that are not necessarily true, and I don’t understand where they are getting their citations from,” Stassen said.

Woodstock council member RB Thompson said he’s in support of the proposal and that it won’t have a negative effect on the businesses.

“I think it solves a lot of our problems as this will improve traffic flow and create less backups,” Thompson said. “So ultimately, I think it will bring more people to the businesses because we’ll see twice as many cars coming through.”

The project study is funded through state and federal transportation planning funds.

A public hearing on the project is expected to take place in early 2017.

Continued from page A3 home to an Eisenmann plant.

“They were barking up the wrong tree. We went to City Hall and said, ‘You guys are doing it all wrong,’ ” said Betz, who with his wife Karin now own two businesses, BetzDesign, which designs window treatments, and Northwestern Sunrooms.

So Crystal Lake, then with about 25,000 people, began talks with Holzgerlingen, population 10,000 or so.

Neis and the search committee, now aided by Karin Betz and local businessman and later McHenry County Board Chairman Ken Koehler, began speaking to city leaders and visiting their small town.

Among the commonalities they found was the feel that both towns have as suburbs of big cities and bedroom communities in which many people commute to go to work.

Also, Crystal Lake had something of an “in.” Michael Wanner, a Holzgerlingen City Council member who had studied at Northwestern University, interned at Eisenmann’s Crystal Lake plant and was mentored by Al Betz.

It was Wanner, Al Betz said, who wanted the sister-city agreement to be driven by the people, not the respective governments. Wanner died in an accident in 2002 – a tree was planted at the Dole Mansion in his memory.

“He said, ‘Let’s not start with the top. Let’s start with the people,’ ” Al Betz said.

The people of Holzgerlingen were so enthusiastic that they built a boat to enter in the 1996 Crystal Lake Cardboard Cup Regatta, which took place the month before the sister-city partnership became formal. Dubbed “Pabbedeggel Oins,” or “Cardboard One” in the Swabian dialect of German the villagers spoke, it turned out to be “indestructible,” according to Neis.

The boat, which as part of its design philosophy of durability over speed included a working beer keg, is kept at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum in Union. While a Belgian airline volunteered to fly the boat over for free, Koehler said the red tape involved required the help of the city’s U.S. representative at the time, Republican Don Manzullo, to help cut through it.

Since 1996, there have been exchanges of groups and students back and forth, as well as Crystal Lake residents visiting Europe who make it a point to stop in Holzgerlingen.

Of the trips to Holzgerlingen that Koehler took as a representative of Crystal Lake, the one he most fondly remembers is the one in which he participated in the 2007 parade celebrating the city’s founding a millennium prior – in Germany, the official “birthdays” of cities tend to be the first time they were mentioned in writing.

“We were over there when they celebrated their 1,000th anniversary. One thousand years, if you can imagine,” Koehler said.

However, enthusiasm for the partnership has waned somewhat in recent years, Neis and Al Betz acknowledge. While Betz said the Sept. 11 attacks took some of the steam out of frequent travel, Neis said it’s time for

a younger generation to step up and rekindle it.

The friendships that have been forged have been lifelong, Neis said, especially for that of his daughter’s best friend, who ended up marrying the daughter of Holzgerlingen’s mayor.

As for Crystal Lake’s mayor, Aaron Shepley called the sister-city partnership a good relationship maintained by a team effort that has transcended one person or group.

“Over the years, you’re always going to see some waxing and waning regarding what people can commit to the relationship, but there’s always that thread that keeps us connected, and that’s where people like Al and Karin and Tom and Ken, and people who have been there since the beginning, help keep that connection going,” Shepley said.

Kloss told Lehr that she had fired two shots outside of his home with one of his guns, and she was concerned police officers were going to show up. She never possessed a FOID card or concealed carry card, according to the Illinois State Police.

Later that day, Kloss called Lehr again and told him she had a gun to her head and was going to commit suicide. Lehr became immediately concerned and alerted a nurse to call 911.

Members of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office arrived on the scene and attempted to make contact with Kloss from outside the home. Deputies said Kloss appeared through the window with a gun, and came outside and back in the home a number of times both unarmed and with a weapon.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Justin McKenzie, who arrived on

the scene, testified at trial that they attempted to get her outside the residence so she could surrender and be taken for a mental health evaluation.

Prosecutors said at trial that Kloss came outside the front door with an assault rifle, advanced toward the officers and pointed it in their direction. Deputies fired several rounds at Kloss and struck her once in the head. Kloss was treated at the scene and taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville for further treatment.

Loeb disputed the testimony of the deputies at trial and said they did not have a reasonable apprehension of being attacked immediately and could have shot her prematurely.

Despite Loeb’s arguments, Feetterer said in his decision that their testimony was “credible,” and the officers were in the best position to see what Kloss was holding once she was outside the home. He said the police officers feared they would be shot, and so the apprehension was reasonable.

All other pending charges against Kloss were dismissed by the state’s attorney’s office.

WOODSTOCK – A Fox Lake woman was sentenced to one year in prison for her involvement in a 2014 police shooting.

McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer sentenced Elizabeth Kloss after a sentencing hearing Friday.

She will receive dayfor-day credit for the 153 days spent in McHenry County Jail custody and could be released from prison in about a month. She also is required to serve one Elizabeth year of mandatory su- Kloss pervised release. The offenses charged were not probationable.

Feetterer said the “incredibly dangerous situation” resulted in an “incredibly sad case,” and he hopes the sentence imposed will assist Kloss in receiving alcohol and mental health treatment. He also found the crime was the result of the use or abuse of alcohol.

Both attorneys agreed a one-year

prison sentence was appropriate, citing an urgent need for treatment and counseling.

“The last thing that anybody wants is this to happen again,” Assistant State’s Attorney John Gibbons said.

Kloss’ attorney, Robert Loeb, said his client has “paid a huge price” as a result of this incident, and not a minute goes by that she is not reminded of everything that’s happened over the past two years.

“I am very sorry for what happened when I was drunk … I wish it had never happened,” Kloss said in court.

Feetterer found Kloss guilty in October of two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of possession of firearms without a valid Firearm Owners Identification card, and one count of possession of ammunition without a valid FOID card after a bench trial.

He said Kloss placed McHenry County Sheriff’s deputies in “reasonable apprehension of receiving bodily harm” when they responded to the 7400 block of Boston Avenue in Wonder Lake on July 20, 2014, for the report of a suicidal subject.

Kloss was staying at her then-boy-

McHenry man in critical condition after shooting

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HOFFMAN ESTATES – Hoffman Estates police are investigating a shooting that left a 26-year-old McHenry man in critical condition, a police official said.

About 10:30 p.m. Thursday, Hoffman Estates police and fire personnel were called to the parking lot of 4600 W. Higgins Road, Hoffman Estates, for reports of shots fired and a man who had been shot lying in the parking lot, Lt. Darin Felgenhauer said.

Paramedics tended to the McHenry man who was shot on the scene and took him to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, where he remains in critical condition, Felgenhauer said.

The Hoffman Estates Police Department is investigating the incident, and no one is in custody at this time, Felgenhauer said. Early indications show the parties involved knew each other, and it was an isolated incident.

Felgenhauer said he could not provide any additional information.

Prison sentence stands for man convicted of killing Island Lake woman in 2014

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge will not reconsider a lengthy prison sentence for a Chicago man who was found guilty but mentally ill in the first-degree murder of 48-year-old Karen Scavelli in 2014.

Judge Sharon Prather sentenced Howard Dibbern to 56 years in prison Nov. 23 after a sentencing hearing. Prather found Dibbern guilty of all charges against him, including first-degree murder, possession of a stolen motor vehicle and concealing a homicide, Howard after a partially stipulat- Dibbern ed bench trial.

Dibbern, 52, was arrested after authorities said he killed Scavelli on June 2, 2014, in her Island Lake home. Dibbern beat and stabbed Scavelli, broke her neck and then hid her body under pillows and blankets.

He then stole her vehicle and led police on a “high-speed chase” the next day before crashing into a Mundelein home and attempting suicide. Dibbern’s

attorney, McHenry County Assistant Public Defender Rick Behof, proceeded with an insanity defense, meaning he argued that his client was legally insane at the time of the alleged crime.

Behof filed the motion on behalf of his client for a new trial and to reconsider the sentence imposed, arguing that the court erred by not finding Dibbern not guilty by reason of insanity. The motion also stated that Dibbern contended the sentence imposed was “excessive,” according to the motion.

Prather said in court Thursday that she considered all factors when determining an appropriate sentence, including the defendant’s past criminal history. Dibbern has spent time in prison on six previous occasions and was out on parole when he was charged with Scavelli’s murder.

Prather also said she would not give the defendant a new trial because there was no new evidence presented to prove Dibbern was insane at the time of the crime. Dibbern was appointed an appellate defender and plans to appeal.

He was in custody at McHenry County Jail as of Friday afternoon, awaiting transportation to the Illinois Department of Corrections.

At a reunion of cast members in 2009, Sachs spoke fondly of his memories of the show. He said some politically incorrect material may prompt complaints from viewers now.

Even so, he hoped “we can always get away with good comedy.”

Cleese, the co-creator of the program, told the BBC that acting with Sachs was “like playing tennis with someone who

is exactly as good as you are.”

“Sometimes he wins and sometimes you win but somehow there’s a rapport and it comes from the very deepest part of ourselves,” he said.

“You can work on it, but in our case we never had to work on it, it all happened so easily.”

A quiet and insular person, Sachs’ family kept both his illness and death quiet until after services were concluded. He is survived by wife Melody, three children and four grandchildren.

Jensen. She married the late George C. Wilson Jr. on June 1, 1945 in Vancouver, WA. Ruby worked at Arnold Engineering for many years.

She was a life time member of Emmanuel Baptist Church/Victory Rock Fellowship in Marengo, IL. Ruby was very active in the church and Women’s Missionary Union, as well as the Feed The Hungry and other various programs through the Illinois Baptist State Association.

Ruby enjoyed gardening, especially her summer garden, reading, singing hymns,

spending time with her grandchildren and family, traveling and telling others about Jesus.

Ruby will be missed dearly by her daughters, Georgia (Ralph) Sullons, Martha Wilson and Vicki Wilson; her son, David(Michelle) Wilson; seven grandchildren; seventeen great-grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren; brother, Ralph Jensen; and numerous nieces and nephews.

LONDON – Comic actor Andrew Sachs, known primarily for his role as the well-intentioned but somewhat dim character of Manuel in the 1970s comedy “Fawlty Towers,” has died. He was 86 and had been suffering from vascular dementia.

Actor John Cleese, who played alongside Sachs in the TV show, led tributes Friday to the German-born British actor, who made the role of the bumbling Spanish waiter with the massive moustache all his own.

His son, John Sachs, said his father was not interested in being a celebrity or seeking the limelight. What he loved was the craft of acting.

“He stuck that big moustache on because he didn’t want to be recognized,” John Sachs told The Associated Press.

Born Andreas Siegfried Sachs on April 7, 1930, in Berlin, his family moved to England when he was 8 to escape Nazi persecution of Jews.

Although he performed in a number of TV shows in the 1960s, he shot to fame in 1975 with “Fawlty Towers,” about a fictional hotel in the seaside town of Torquay. The program revolves around owner Basil Fawlty, played by Cleese, whose acidic wit and

rude behavior offers the irreverent backdrop to efforts to run a hotel visited by eccentric guests.

Although only 12 episodes were made, it was voted number one in the British Film Institute’s 100 Greatest Television Programs in 2000.

In the program, Sachs plays the lovable waiter Manuel who struggles with his English and whose trademark “Que?” led to some of the program’s most humorous exchanges.

“There’s a certain Charlie Chaplinesque talent that he had,” his son said, noting that Manuel’s limited language skills made movements and athleticism all the more important. “He brought that to Manuel.”

In one episode, “Basil The Rat,” Manuel keeps a pet rat, which he mistakes for a Siberian hamster. Basil catches him.

Manuel: “I say to man in shop, ‘Is rat.’ He say, ‘No, no, no. Is a special kind of hamster. Is filigree Siberian hamster.’ Only one in shop. He make special price, only five pound.”

Basil: “Have you ever heard of the bubonic plague, Manuel? It was very popular here at one time. A lot of pedigreed hamsters came over on ships from Siberia.”

Later in the same program, as Basil tries to reassure him with a slap on

STATE

Reps. sue to get paid despite budget mess

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Six state representatives filed a lawsuit Friday demanding paychecks the Illinois comptroller cut off last spring because there’s no budget agreement.

The Democrats sued Republican Leslie Munger claiming that she’s violating the state constitution through executive-branch interference with the Legislature. The lawmakers also took a shot at Munger’s political mentor, GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner, for their dilemma.

Munger, on her last day in office after losing a special election in November, called her adversaries “cowards.”

Democrat Susana Mendoza, who takes over Monday after campaigning on continuing Munger’s stinginess, said everyone needs to tough it out, but that she would relent if ordered by a judge.

Appointed by Rauner in 2014, Munger announced in April she would put legislative pay at the back of the line like other overdue vendor bills until members of the House and Senate and Rauner reached agreement on a fullyear state budget, which has been missing from Springfield for two years now.

“Enough is enough,” said lead plaintiff Emanuel “Chris” Welch, a Democratic House member from Hillside. “lt’s time to honor the Illinois Constitution, to recognize that we have separation of powers.”

News from across the state Rauner: Money for Chicago schools part of budget talks

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner said he’ll meet with legislative leaders to negotiate a budget deal, and he’s willing to include money he vetoed for Chicago Public Schools if it’s part of a “comprehensive package.”

Rauner said Friday meetings are scheduled Saturday and Sunday with the four legislative leaders and “I’m not taking anything off the table.”

The Republican vetoed a measure Thursday that provided $215 million to help CPS make its pension payment. He said Democrats reneged on a deal to approve an overhaul to Illinois’ hugely

AP file photo

Illinois State Comptroller Leslie Munger speaks to supporters Aug. 17 during Governors Day at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield.

But Munger, sitting on 126,000 unpaid bills worth more than $10.3 billion, shot back Friday afternoon in Chicago, saying, “How cowardly that they refused to challenge” her before she left office and now seek “preferential treatment.”

“There are just no words for my disgust and disappointment,” she said.

Rauner’s paycheck is among those that waits – theoretically. The billionaire equity investor accepts only a $1

token salary as chief executive.

“Wow,” he said with wide eyes when told of the lawsuit. “Good grief. I am amazed.”

The base legislative salary – unchanged in eight years – is $67,836, but almost every legislator gets a stipend of $10,327 or more for extra duties.

“People are suffering,” Welch said.

“People have mortgages to pay, tuition to take care of. We’ve gone to work every day for six months. There are finan-

The Illinois Senate voted to override the veto. But Steve Brown, spokesman for House Speaker Michael Madigan, said the House didn’t have enough “yes” votes to do so.

vetoed additional state money for Chicago Public Schools, calling it a “bailout.”

The Republican, who’s expected to sign the Exelon bill, said Friday that Clinton and the Quad Cities communities would have been “devastated” if those plants closed.

Rauner says he’s ‘proud’ of Exelon subsidy

CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner said legislation that provides billions of dollars in subsidies to power giant Exelon Corp. is imperfect but that he’s “proud” of the deal lawmakers reached.

The measure approved Thursday provides $235 million a year to Exelon to keep unprofitable nuclear plants running in Clinton and the Quad Cities. More than 4 million customers of power-distributing subsidiaries ComEd and Ameren will pay more to finance the plan.

Rauner has previously blasted “special deals” for corporations. On Thursday, he

Electronic road signs are dark because of budget

EFFINGHAM – Electronic message boards used to communicate with drivers in the Effingham area will remain dark because of Illinois’ budget stalemate.

The Effingham Daily News reported the Illinois Department of Transportation installed message boards in the area in November 2015.

The signs were supposed to be in use along Interstate 70 and other roadways by spring 2016. But the project stalled, partly because a contractor who was doing wiring and other work wasn’t paid.

City officials were eager to have the signs working in time for winter traffic

cial hardships for many.”

The other plaintiffs are Kate Cloonen of Kankakee, Lisa Hernandez of Cicero, and Chicago residents Mary Flowers, Sonya Harper and Silvana Tabares.

Munger was appointed in December 2014 after the death of Judy Baar Topinka. Mendoza, a former House member and current Chicago city clerk, beat Munger for comptroller in the special election last month.

Friday was Munger’s last business day before Mendoza’s inauguration.

Welch defended the timing of the legal action, saying it came a day after lawmakers returned from the fall veto session in Springfield and after another end-of-the-month payday passed with no compensation. There are 2016 tax implications and effects on the pensions of legislators retiring next month, Welch said, adding the timing “has nothing to do with Susana Mendoza.”

“It has everything to do with the course and tactics used by Munger and Rauner,” he said. “We’re suing the person who made the decision.”

Mendoza said she will stick by her pledge unless ordered to handle the matter differently.

“Everyone needs to share in the sacrifice,” Mendoza said in a statement.

“My policy will be to prioritize the most vulnerable people in our state and continue the delay in legislators’ pay, unless a court instructs me to do otherwise.”

3 dead after wrong-way crash on I-88 in suburbs

WARRENVILLE – Police said three people are dead after a wrong-way crash involving two cars along Interstate 88 in suburban Chicago.

Illinois State Police said the crash happened shortly before 1 a.m. Friday along the interstate in the Warrenville and Naperville area. Police said a Toyota Camry driven by 30-year-old Domenic Andreoni of Elgin was heading east in the westbound lanes when it collided head-on with a Chrysler 300.

Police said Andreoni was pronounced dead at the scene along with the Chrysler’s driver 32-year-old Ali Erhaima of Aurora and passenger 40-year-old Shiva Inampudi of Naperville.

The ‘Two Trumps’ surface in transition The ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – Donald Trump’s skeptics hope the presidency will reveal a serious side of the brash businessman. His supporters want him to keep the freewheeling style that rattled Washington.

In true Trump fashion, so far he’s doing both.

Trump has soothed some Republican establishment anxieties with many of his early Cabinet picks, including the respected retired Gen. James Mattis to lead the Pentagon and Georgia Rep. Tom Price, an orthopedic surgeon tapped to head the Department of Health and Human Services.

He’s hinted that he’s open to shifting some of his most controversial policies, including his rejection of climate change and support for torture. He’s been full of praise for President Barack Obama and largely respectful of Hillary Clinton, his vanquished campaign rival.

But Trump also is refusing to abandon the raucous, stream-of-consciousness rallies and Twitter tirades that defined his presidential campaign. He’s continued to level false statements, claiming without evidence that millions of people voted illegally in the election. And he’s infused the normally staid Cabinet selection process with reality TV drama, inviting cameras into his dinner with Mitt Romney, a leading candidate for secretary of state, and announcing the secretary of defense pick in an arena, seemingly off the cuff.

“He was a very unconventional candidate,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said. “He’s going to be an unconventional president.”

Despite his tell-it-like-it-is reputation, Trump is fueled by a deep need to be liked, according to longtime associates. He often modulates his tone to his setting and frequently tries to curry favor with his audience

President-elect Donald Trump raises his fist Thursday as he speaks during the first stop of his post-election tour in Cincinnati. by telling them what he thinks they want to hear. He often speaks in vague generalities, his policy plans short on details, and that allows supporters to read in what they wish.

And sometimes he seems to move in contradictions, as when he made simultaneous appointments of Reince Priebus – a nod to the Washington establishment – and Stephen Bannon – a shot across the establishment’s bow – to fill two key roles in his administration, giving opposing factions of his coalition something to cheer.

People who meet with the president-elect personally talk about there being “two Trumps” – the self-promoting celebrity that’s seen in public and the amiable and courteous grandfather who emerges in private.

“He’s charming in person,” said John Allison, the former CEO of BB&T, who recently met with Trump. “He absolutely has a lot of personal charisma.”

Indeed, Trump has appeared to win over some of his toughest Republican critics since defeating Clinton. GOP lawmakers have praised all of his Cabinet nominees, some of whom hold more traditionally conservative views than Trump himself. Romney, who

was one of Trump’s fiercest critics during the campaign, emerged from their dinner this week with warm words for a man he’d only recently called a “phony.”

“He continues with a message of inclusion and bringing people together and his vision is something which obviously connected with the American people in a very powerful way,” Romney said in a stunning turnabout for the 2012 GOP nominee.

But Trump appears acutely aware that the enthusiastic supporters who propelled him to the White House are watching carefully to see if he’ll back away from his pledges to shake up the political system. Supporters shouted their opposition to Romney being in the Cabinet on Thursday as Trump stood on stage in Cincinnati for the kickoff of a “thank you” tour for voters.

Trump gave them plenty else to cheer about, fully re-embracing his firebrand and raucous campaign persona.

He took the stage full of swagger and as focused on score-settling as he was during the campaign. He spent more than 10 minutes bashing the press, recounting how the media doubted his chances of winning.

Residents get look at wildfire rubble The ASSOCIATED PRESS GATLINBURG, Tenn. – Residents and business owners in Gatlinburg got their first look at the wildfire destruction Friday, and many walked around the once-bustling tourist city in a daze, sobbing.

They hugged each other and promised that they would stay in touch.

“We love it up here so much,” said Gary Moore, his voice trembling. “We lost everything. But we’re alive, thank goodness. Our neighbors are alive, most of them. And we’re just so thankful for that.”

A county mayor raised the death toll to 13 and said the number of damaged buildings now approached 1,000.

After days of waiting to see their homes, some of the shock began to give way to anger, and local authorities bristled when asked why they waited so long to order the evacuation.

“The city sure could have done a better job of getting us out of here,” said Delbert Wallace, who lost his home.

“When they got up that morning, when they seen that fire, we should have been on alert right then.”

Sevier County Mayor Larry Waters and other officials noted the fire moved such a great distance so quickly it gave officials little time to react. Once they did, it was nearly too late.

Waters said it was not the time for “Monday morning quarterbacking” and promised a full review later.

John Matthews of the Sevier County Emergency Management Agency said a text alert telling people to evacuate went out around 9 p.m. Monday. But by that time, wildfires were raging in the area.

Matthews said some people did not receive the message because of power outages and loss of cellphone reception.

Local officials, bowing to pressure from frustrated property owners, allowed people back into most parts of the city Friday.

“This is all that’s left of our house,” said Tammy Sherrod, standing with her husband in front of the rubble. “We had five minutes to get off this mountain. We got off with the clothes on our back. We got off with a few pictures.”

She found a coaster in the rubble that her 27-year-old daughter had made as a child. Half of it had bright colors and the other half was charred black. It still had her name, Brianna, written on the bottom in black marker.

The dead included a Memphis couple who was separated from their three sons during the wildfires. The sons – Jared, Wesley and Branson Summers – learned that their parents, Jon and Janet, had died as they were recovering in the hospital.

Residents were getting their first look at what remains of their homes and businesses in Gatlinburg, after a wildfire tore through the resort community Monday. mers’ brother Jim talked about the three young men’s harrowing escape and their parents’ death.

He said the Summers family first received a call from their condo’s owner to evacuate. They jumped in Branson’s car and drove down the mountain until a tree blocked their path. They got out and ran and became separated from their parents. They were found unconscious at the bottom of the mountain.

Jim Summers said the sheriff estimated they ran several miles.

“Quite frankly, the way the kids got down the mountain is a movie in and of itself,” Jim Summers said. “I mean, it’s just beyond belief. They went through walls of fire.”

When authorities found the parents’ bodies, they couldn’t even identify them by photographs, Jim Summers said.

They couldn’t even weigh them.

“I think probably that impacted me more than anything,” he said.

Jared Summers was released from the hospital, and Vanderbilt University Medical Center plastic surgeon Dr. Blair Summitt said he anticipates the other two young men should be able to leave in about a week. The boys played in a band together and were on their first family vacation together in four years.

Jim Summers shared some comments from his nephew, Wesley.

“He wanted everybody to know that, ‘My parents, I believe, died happy,’ ” he said.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – A presidential commission on Friday made 16 urgent recommendations to improve the nation’s cybersecurity, including creating a nutritional-type label to help consumers shop wisely and appointing a new international ambassador on the subject – weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

The release of the 100-page report follows the worst hacking of U.S. government systems in history and accusations by the Obama administration that Russia meddled in the U.S. presidential election by hacking Democrats.

The Presidential Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity urged immediate action within two to five years and suggested the Trump administration consider acting on some proposals within its first 100 days.

The commission recommended that Trump create an assistant to the president for cybersecurity, who would report through the national security adviser, and establish an ambassador for cybersecurity, who would lead efforts to create international rules. It urged steps, such as getting rid of traditional passwords, to end the threat of identity theft by 2021 and said Trump’s administration should train 100,000 new cybersecurity workers by 2020.

Other ideas included helping consumers to judge products using an independent nutritional-type label for technology products and services.

“What we’ve been doing over the last 15 to 20 years simply isn’t working,

and the problem isn’t going to be fixed simply by adding more money,” said Steven Chabinsky, a commission member and the global chair of the data, privacy and cybersecurity practice for White & Case LLP, an international law firm.

He said the group wanted the burden of cybersecurity “moved away from every computer user and handled at higher levels,” including internet providers and product developers who could ensure security by default and design “for everyone’s benefit.”

The White House requested the report in February and intended it to serve as a transition memo for the next president. The commission included 12 of what the White House described as the brightest minds in business, academia, technology and security. It was led by Tom Donilon, Obama’s former national security adviser.

The panel studied sharing information with private companies about cyber threats, the lack of talented American security engineers and distrust of the U.S. government by private businesses, especially in Silicon Valley. Classified documents stolen under Obama by Edward Snowden, a contractor for the National Security Agency, revealed government efforts to hack into the data pipelines used by U.S. companies to serve customers overseas.

One commissioner, Herbert Lin of Stanford University, said some senior information technology managers distrust the federal government as much as they distrust China, widely regarded as actively hacking in the U.S.

Wolves are state champions Thumbs up: To the Prairie Ridge football team, which won the Class 6A IHSA football championship last weekend in convincing fashion. The Wolves (14-0) rushed for a Class 6A championship game record 544 yards in their 48-17 win over Sacred Heart-Griffin a week ago today in Champaign. It was the second state title in five years for the Wolves, who also won the 2011 Class 6A football championship. Congratulations on your perfect season.

Thumbs up: To sixth-graders and teachers at Heineman Middle School in Algonquin and businessman Jim Dobbs, who are again raising money to build wells in Haiti, which was battered by a hurricane this season. This is the second year that students have worked on the fundraiser in which they collected $5,300 last year. Dobbs has an overall goal of raising $67,500, and the student’s efforts are greatly appreciated. It’s a valuable lesson on both generosity and perspective of what we take for granted in our own country.

Thumbs up: To Conscious Cup of Crystal Lake for creating a specialty blend coffee – the Big Dream blend – to raise money for Special Olympics Illinois. The 12-ounce bags will be sold for $15 each at the store, 5005 Route 14, Crystal Lake, as well as at Cook Street Coffee, 100 E. Station St., Barrington, through Dec. 12. The bags will feature a Special Olympics athlete and that athlete’s personal story to raise awareness for Special Olympics Illinois and those who participate in it. Good coffee for a good cause – it’s a win-win.

Thumbs up: To local Reps. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, and Jack Franks, D-Marengo, for their efforts to ensure a lame-duck income tax increase would not come to fruition. House Resolution 1494, which opposes any effort to raise taxes in the final days of session in January, passed on an 87-12 vote on Wednesday. The House passed a proposed amendment to the Illinois Constitution that would make it much harder to raise taxes in the final days of session after elections on Thursday.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Making infrastructure plan work A central part of President-elect Donald Trump’s economic plan – extra spending on roads, bridges and other infrastructure – could give the U.S. a welcome economic boost. But the benefit won’t last unless the plan is well designed.

New forecasts from the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development – a respectable outfit, as these things go – say that a combination of tax cuts and higher public spending could add nearly a full percentage point to U.S. economic growth in 2018. The government’s debt burden, measured as a percentage of this larger gross domestic product, could decline.

This isn’t quite the ringing endorsement you might think.

Even bad investments, including the proverbial burying and digging up of banknotes, deliver a short-term boost to GDP so long as the economy has spare capacity.

The challenge is to spend money in ways that boost supply, making the economy more productive in the longer term. If the money goes

to a bunch of well-connected contractors without increasing the economy’s productive capacity, a great opportunity will be squandered. A mismanaged stimulus could be worse than none at all, adding to the country’s debts without improving its ability to pay them back.

So what should Trump do?

First, keep it simple. Trump’s advisers have suggested using some $137 billion in tax credits to encourage private investment in infrastructure. Problem is, this can obscure the true cost of projects, put too much emphasis on returns to private investors, and subsidize investments that would have happened anyway. Instead, the government should take advantage of its low borrowing costs by doing more of the spending itself, especially on unglamorous tasks (such as road repair and improvement) that can be started quickly.

Second, be prudent. Uncontrolled deficit spending can spook bond investors, pushing up the government’s borrowing costs

and eroding the advantages of infrastructure investment. To avoid that, Trump must set out and stick to a clear fiscal-stimulus plan – one that explains how the U.S. will control its budget deficits in the longer run. In effect, proposals to broaden the tax base and/or restrain spending on entitlement programs have to be part of any credible infrastructure plan.

Third, be accountable. The 2008 stimulus program included an oversight board and a website where citizens could report abuses and track how taxpayer money was being spent. Trump’s plan should meet at least the same standard of transparency. Otherwise, corruption and cronyism will make it less effective and undermine future support for smart fiscal policy.

Clarity, prudence and desire for accountability: These aren’t Trump’s signature virtues. It might be asking a lot – but this will have to change, or else his bold and potentially valuable ideas on infrastructure will come to nothing.

Post-election reality

To the Editor: Reality is setting in quickly.

Lock her up! Build the wall! Repeal and replace Obamacare! Appoint a very conservative Supreme Court justice!

These promises were made to Americans prior to Nov. 8 and were to be done in the first 100 days of a Donald Trump presidency.

Well, since Nov. 9, reality has set in, and none of these were on his revised 100-day priority list shown on Nov. 22.

VIEWS Noah Feldman an hourly wage.

Later regulations included the amount of salary as a relevant consideration. In 2004, the George W. Bush administration enacted regulations that also included a minimum salary requirement of $23,600 a year to qualify for the exemption.

The Obama administration changed the regulations to raise the minimum salary level to $47,892 a year: the 40th percentile of salaried workers in the U.S. The change was economically significant, because it obviously includes many more employees in the overtime category. It was clearly aimed to help lower-middle-class workers.

From a legal standpoint, this regulation change should have been business as usual. The regulations were enacted after proper notice and comment periods. According to the well-established Supreme Court rule known as the Chevron doctrine, named for a 1984 precedent, the courts defer to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes. Deference should be even more certain when the statute itself says the agency gets to interpret the law, as the fair labor act does.

Yet remarkably, District Judge

Now that the old, white, rich males have gotten their way (the young handsome black man is out of the White House), these ridiculous notions will never be brought up again. Why? Because they were, are and always will be ... ridiculous!

McHenry Township caucus

To the Editor: I find it very disturbing that the McHenry Township Republican Party decided to hold a caucus instead of a primary election. When it was evident that there was not a quorum, someone should have made an effort to call more committeemen.

A caucus is typically held in the evening, when working men and women are resting or spending time with their families.

During a primary election, the polls are open for 12 hours. You can vote before or after work or while the children are in

Amos Mazzant III issued a preliminary injunction staying the effect of the new regulation nationwide on the theory that it was likely to be overturned as unlawful.

The analysis in Mazzant’s opinion is pretty poor. He purported to apply the Chevron doctrine, which only applies when the statute is ambiguous.

Mazzant then insisted that, contrary to the practice of previous regulations, it’s unambiguous that the definition can’t rest on salary alone.

But the Bush regulations, and those that came before it, also relied on salary – and the Obama regulations are no more purely salary-based than those. Mazzant tried to distinguish those by saying that the salary levels were intentionally made low to screen out “obviously nonexempt employees.” But that makes no difference, because the definition of what counts as low salary falls within the Labor Department’s discretion.

More fundamentally, Mazzant’s opinion calls into question exactly the policy deference that the Chevron doctrine is intended to create.

In essence, Mazzant was saying he doesn’t like the new salary level, so he’s blocking it.

It’s remarkable that an Obama appointee – even a Texan – would block an Obama regulation in this sloppily activist way. Politically, the timing is no accident. It’s a sign of the administration’s collapsing legal credibility

after Trump’s victory. A true cynic might speculate as to whether Mazzant sees an opportunity for judicial advancement with this anti-regulatory judgment.

Unfortunately, the consequences aren’t trivial. Without the judgment in place, the Trump Labor Department could have reversed the regulation. But that would’ve required a new process of rulemaking after notice and comment. And any new regulation could have been challenged in court as arbitrary.

With Mazzant’s judgment in place, the Department of Labor has an easy excuse to drop the new regulations or choose not to enforce them. Even if it chooses to defend the regulation in court, it could do so half-heartedly, essentially tanking the case. It’s difficult to believe that the anti-regulatory Trump administration would insist on preserving the Obama regulations once a democratically appointed judge has blocked them.

Because judicial appointees remain on the bench after an administration leaves office, courts usually lag the politics of new presidential administrations. Mazzant is apparently an exemption. This decision is on board with Trump-style antiregulatory jurisprudence – and the inauguration is still seven weeks away.

When a federal judge in Texas last week froze a regulation extending overtime pay to thousands of workers, the holding had an extra sting.

The hit to President Barack Obama’s legacy came from his own appointee, not a Bush-era holdover. And the decision will make it much simpler for President-elect Donald Trump’s Labor Department to scrap the regulation than it would have been without the judge’s activist ruling.

The regulation in question interprets the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act. The law sets the federal minimum wage (currently $7.25 an hour), and says that employees who work more than 40 hours a week are entitled to time and a half – that is, overtime.

Section 213 of the act allows exemptions for employees “in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity.” Because the law doesn’t define those terms, the Department of Labor issues regulations that do. As amended in 1961, the law actually specifies that the overtime terms may be “defined and delimited from time to time by regulations.”

The regulations have evolved over time, depending on circumstances and administration policy. Early regulations were intended to cover blue-collar workers but not white-collar workers, and some distinguished salaried employees from those paid

Jobs report shows Trump to inherit solid but uneven economy

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The U.S. jobs report on Friday made one thing clear: President-elect Donald Trump will inherit the same two-track U.S. economy that bedeviled his predecessor.

Hiring is solid and the unemployment rate is low. But longer-term problems persist – especially a stubbornly high number of men who are out of work and have given up looking. Many are likely frustrated former manufacturing workers who voted for Trump over Hillary Clinton.

Employers added 178,000 jobs in November, the government said, extending the longest streak of hiring since World War II. And the unemployment rate sank from 4.9 percent to a nine-year low of 4.6 percent. Yet the jobless rate dropped mainly because many of those out of work gave up on their job hunts and were no longer counted as unemployed.

A key challenge for the Trump administration is to extend the benefits of job growth to include many of those who feel left out. The job market’s durability will help to some extent. Eventually, low unemployment should compel employers to offer higher pay to attract more workers. That, in turn, could per-

suade more Americans to resume their job hunts and find work.

“With the unemployment rate this low and wages rising, now is the real test of whether a stronger economy can bring people back into job market,” said Jed Kolko, chief economist at job hunting website Indeed.

Aside from the longer-term challenges, recent data suggest that the economy is in decent shape. Americans bought homes in October at the fastest pace in nearly a decade. They’re also more confident in the economy than at any other point in the past nine years and are spending more. Those trends are keeping the Federal Reserve on track to raise short-term interest rates at its next meeting in less than two weeks.

“For the Fed, barring a very adverse ... development, a hike at the Dec. 14 meeting appears to be a done deal,” said Michael Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase.

Two measures illustrate the mixed nature of the economic recovery: The unemployment rate is now back to where it was in August 2007 – four months before the Great Recession began. That suggests that the economy has fully recovered.

Yet the percentage of all adults with jobs still is 3 percentage points below where it was in August 2007. Some of

that decline has been driven by retirements among the aging baby boom generation. But for men age 25 to 54 years old – prime working years – the proportion who have jobs remains substantially below its pre-recession level. That translates into millions of men who are neither working nor looking for work.

Why have so many men dropped out?

Kolko said that is “probably the biggest question facing the labor market today.”

Many men who aren’t working blame mental or physical health problems. Alan Krueger, an economist at Princeton and a former top adviser to President Barack Obama, has found that nearly half of men ages 25 to 54 who are outside the workforce take pain medication.

The nation has lost nearly a third of its manufacturing jobs since 2000, and many who once held those positions have struggled to find work that pays as well.

But Nicholas Eberstadt, an economist at the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute, noted that most European countries also lost manufacturing jobs, yet haven’t seen a similar decline in male employment.

Instead, Eberstadt points to high levels of incarceration over the past three decades. That’s left millions of men with

criminal records that can make it hard for them to find work even years after they’ve completed their sentences.

Randy Shacka, president of Lansing, Michigan-based moving firm Two Men and a Truck, said job applicants have had a harder time passing drug tests in recent years, particularly in states that have eased marijuana laws.

The company hopes to add 3,000 to its 8,000-person staff by June, when moving season heats up. But with unemployment down and the economy growing consistently, the company has had to try harder to find qualified applicants. It recently introduced a 401(k) plan and has ramped up training, Shacka said.

Sluggish pay gains have been a chronic problem for the economy and have provided less incentive for those who have dropped out to resume job hunts. Average hourly pay slipped in November and has risen just 2.5 percent in the past year. Wage increases remain below the level consistent with healthy growth.

The economy “is fundamentally underperforming, and needs structural fixes to improve its long-term growth rate,” said Douglas Holtz-Eakin of the conservative American Action Forum and former director of the Congressional Budget Office.

SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco home featured in TV’s “Full House” has sold to the producer who created the show.

KGO-TV reported TV producer Jeff Franklin bought the three-bedroom Victorian in August.

It was on the market for more than $4 million.

The real estate agent had declined to say who bought the home in San Francisco’s lower Pacific Heights neighborhood.

The home’s exterior was used as the Tanner family’s residence in the original show.

Fashion designer, writer and director Tom Ford attends the premiere of “Nocturnal Animals” on Nov. 17 in New York.

Designers mixed on dressing Melania Trump First lady-to-be Melania Trump likely won’t be wearing designer Tom Ford’s clothes in the White House. Some of the designers who clamored to dress first lady Michelle Obama have been mixed about dressing Mrs. Trump, a former model. Ford became the latest to weigh in on the matter during an appearance this week on “The View.”

The designer was asked to dress Melania Trump “quite a few years ago,” and declined because “she’s not necessarily my image,” he said on the ABC chat show Wednesday.

Ford is a Democrat and voted for Hillary Clinton in the presidential election, he said, before adding that even if Clinton had won, she shouldn’t have worn his clothes because “they’re too expensive.” His clothes cost a lot to make and the president needs to “relate to everybody,” he said. Asked if Melania Trump should wear expensive clothes, Ford said: “I’m going to leave that to Melania.” Ford was willing to dress first lady Michelle Obama for a London visit with Queen Elizabeth II in 2011 and isn’t the first to be less enthusiastic about outfitting Mrs. Trump.

Sophie Theallat, whose designs have been worn by Mrs. Obama on several occasions, wrote in an open letter last month that she would not dress Mrs. Trump and specifically brought up politics in urging her colleagues to take the same tact.

“The rhetoric of racism, sexism and xenophobia unleashed by her husband’s presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by,” Theallat wrote.

The letter prompted Women’s Wear Daily, which covers the fashion industry, to survey other prominent designers on the question of working with Mrs. Trump, who began modeling in Paris and Milan at age 16 before settling in New York 20 years ago.

During the intimate 75-minute show, Lamar first took off his outer shirt and continually wiped sweat from his face, jokingly complaining that if he had to sweat all night long that the crowd better show him some love.

Midway through the show he took several water bottles from the stage and passed them out to the audience. By the end, the Grammy-award winning rapper thanked the crowd of about 400, guessing that some had “lost 10 pounds in sweat.”

“That’s enough [expletive] sweat to last a lifetime,” he said sincerely, thanking the crowd for not caring about mussing up their “cardigans” and fancy clothes so they could jump and dance during the close-quartered show.

Lamar interacted frequently with audience members, at one point grabbing a woman’s hand saying she had made his night. He stopped the show more than once to sign shirts, shoes and other trinkets.

“Your energy is what I pull from when I go into the studio and write what I write so I gotta show back the love,” Lamar said.

As he rapped, black-and-white images played across the walls and ceiling of the dome. Some were mundane – telephone operators, money counting machines and

a space shuttle. But other images included political and pop culture figures. Bill O’Reilly’s famous meltdown on “Inside Edition” played repeatedly during one song, and later showed Dick Cheney and President George W. Bush and Muhammed Ali. The ethereal looking pop-up dome that hosted Amex Music Meets Art outside the Faena hotel looked as if it had dropped from the sky and was just steps away from the waves. Artist Shantell Martin live sketched a massive mural mapped to the beat of the music just outside the dome. The concert was just one of many parties to celebrate the prestigious art fair, which draws a heavy celebrity crowd.

Noticing some writing on a fan’s clothing that said “Places and Faces,” Lamar said he had just written a song with those words and sang a few bars “from a Swisher Sweet to a hotel suite” to an enthusiastic crowd.

“We are on the same wave,” he said.

Earlier this year, Lamar helped President Barack Obama celebrate his final Fourth of July at the White House. The president has repeatedly said he is a fan of Lamar, saying “How Much a Dollar Cost” is his favorite song of 2015.

Freebie treasures

Glenn Adams poses behind a bar he made from parts of a sunken 18-foot boat and copper that once covered the dome at the Maine State House, at his camp in Richmond, Maine.

Finding beauty and value in repurporsing

AP photos

By GLENN ADAMS • The Associated Press OK, I admit it. I pick up castoff gloves I find along the side of the road.

You never know: These gloves can, if you’re patient, be useful. You just need to hold onto that lonely left until you can match it with a nearly matching right. Sometimes you get lucky and find a pair straight off, which makes for a satisfying day.

My freebie treasures are not limited to gloves. It’s amazing what’s out there free for the picking. I’ve taken junk skis and made them into a coat rack. Once I made a doll house for my daughter out of old chair seats and kindling wood. The shingles on the doll-house roof carefully were cut from old plastic milk bottles (before they were collected widely for recycling).

I’ve grown fond of wood from collapsed barns, a visual blight to many people but pure beauty to me. Cut into the right lengths and corners properly angled, the I guess my masterpiece would be the bar I fashioned out of a sunken fishing boat. I eyed the 18-foot, handmade wooden boat lasciviously as it lay in the watery muck for a couple of summers. Finally assured it was abandoned, I floated it temporarily and towed it home with hopes of refurbishing and permanently floating it.

Given its age, that wasn’t going to happen.

Armed with an all-purpose saw, I transformed the boat into three pieces, fashioning two of them into a bar and the bow into a back bar with shelves for glasses, mugs and so on. The hemlock bar top (repurposed scrap from another household project) served well for a few years. Then, just a couple of years ago, the state had the old, worn copper removed from the Maine State House dome and decided to sell the scrap to artisans and schmoes like me. Newly buffed copper from the dome now graces the top of our bar. Fill your steins to dear old Maine!

The propensity to save and reuse old

barn board can be transformed into perfect picture frames. Some now surround old newspaper front pages I socked away through the years (a super-bold “BUSH WINS” from December 2000 gobbles up the front page of the Bangor Daily News). Barn board forms the perimeter of a big mosaic of Maine’s State House that I made from business cards amassed over three decades. (It now hangs in the State House itself.)

While workers were renovating parts of the State House in the 1980s, they tossed an old, light-shaded snack-bar counter (I think maple or birch) out into the parking lot to be hauled off to the landfill. But I got there first, and into the back of my van it went. The bulky thing flew out of the rear hatch, into the street, on a hill, but I scrambled out and shoved it back in. With some moderate remodeling, it has served as a solid and some might say handsome bookcase in my home for years.

LEFT: Adams converted junked skis and poles into a coat rack. or castoff stuff is well ingrained in the Maine psyche, where Yankee thrift is more or less a given. Lobster traps that have been repurposed into coffee tables are everywhere (including my den). But the urge to coax new lives out of our worn, tired and rejected stuff is not limited to Mainers.

The Junk Gypsies have made a career of it. From their Texas-based design studio, sisters Amy and Jolie Sikes search out useful junk and transform it into attractive pieces for the homes of their clients, who include country music stars and Hollywood actors. You

My fixation with the used but not useless started a long time ago. As a kid in New Jersey in the early 1960s, I was helping my father as he remodeled what had been a dilapidated carriage stable into a proper garage to house our Corvair and Chevy Nomad. I mostly stood, watched and waited for a command to hold a piece of wood or, if I was lucky, hammer in a few nails.

He was running old pieces of wood through his table saw for the sheathing. I asked why he wasn’t using new wood. Peering at me over his glasses, he said in a most serious tone, “Why, son, this is perfectly good wood.”

Then he directed me to take the hammer and straighten out some of the old, slightly bent nails. By then, I understood what he was talking about. I got pretty good at straightening out old rescued nails.

Years later, in my own house, he would chide me if he saw me using “bent nails.” But I still use them whenever I can. And I use his same old table saw to cut planks – usually used ones.

LINDA POPP Hometown: Crystal Lake Year you became a Master Gardener: 2009

What motivated you to become a Master Gardener?

What projects do you volunteer for within the organization?

I became interested in the Extension Master Gardener Program when I began attending Gardenfest at McHenry County College. I learned a great deal in these classes, and it whetted my appetite to learn more. When it became time to retire, I went from working fulltime right to the Master Gardener three-month training in 2009. I was fortunate it was McHenry County’s year for training as they only train every odd-numbered year. Our first class was on botany. I was delighted to learn trees had a vascular system. Imagine that! Now I read everything I can get my hands on.

I created a column called “Birds Eye View” for the monthly

What is your background, and how did you get started gardening?

My husband, Al, and I have lived in McHenry County since 1963. We started out living on a farm where we had a large vegetable garden and a smaller flowerbed. The first year we were married, I wanted to grow tomato plants. Not being familiar with Crystal Lake, I stopped in at Countryside Flower Shop, which then was owned by the William Hamedar family. I asked if I could purchase some potting soil. Bless her heart; Katherine Hamedar fixed me up with a cardboard box of soil and explicit instructions about how to start my own plants indoors. My husband made me a growing table, which we put in our living room and so started our garden.

What’s in your garden? Tell us a bit about it.

All three of our homes have had gardens, and our boys were eager helpers. One year it was pumpkins, peanuts, sunflowers, Zinnias, corn etc. I am happy to say they still garden.

My grandmother taught me how to can and freeze what I grew.

Extension Master Gardener Newsletter, “DIRT,” about nature, plants, birds and other creatures you might find in your yard and woods. At home, we have created a bird and pollinator habitat in our yard, photographed bumble and honey bees for the University of Illinois Bee Spotter Program, and we count feeder birds for Cornell University each winter.

My first EMG project was being co-chair for our Demonstration Garden on the McHenry County College campus. This is a teaching and idea garden. We had demonstrations on Saturday mornings on how to compost, tools available for persons who have disabilities, butterfly gardens, native plant gardens and dividing perennials. We had a sick plant clinic where people brought in their plants for help, too. During my term, we also cleaned out all of the thistles under the pine trees and made a Hosta collection garden on the hill below the upper parking lot.

I just love the Master Gardener Program and consider my fellow EMG’s my “gardening family.” There are so many wonderful projects to join. We recently had our first Master Gardener Project Expo where the committee chairs made displays of their projects and explained what they do to our class of 2017 interns and other visitors. It was such a success we hope to have another expo for the public, and I hope you will take the opportunity to come see how we spend our time. Perhaps you will want to become an Extension Master Gardener. We would love to have you join us.

Risk of Zika outbreak minimal Dear Doctor: We live on a lake in Minnesota where mosquitos are a way of life.

Now that Zika has come to the United States, are we at risk when the weather heats up this spring?

Dear Reader: The spread of the Zika virus to the U.S. is cause for concern but not alarm. It’s a complex issue, so the best way to answer your question is to lay out the basics.

You’re correct Zika has been locally transmitted in two areas in South Florida. However, health officials say a wide outbreak is unlikely. The virus, which is related to dengue, West Nile virus and yellow fever, is transmitted by the female mosquito of the Aedes genus.

Those who are at greatest risk are pregnant women. Zika can cause a range of birth defects, including microcephaly, a condition in which babies are born with abnormally small heads. Pregnant women are advised to stay away from areas where Zika is spreading Because Zika is known to be sexually transmitted, men need to take precautions as well. The Zika virus can remain active in semen for up to six months, so the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise men who may have been infected to use condoms.

To best protect yourself from Zika: • Avoid traveling to areas where Zika is known to be active.

• Dress to prevent mosquito bites – wear long pants and long sleeves.

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier • Wear shoes and socks as well, since mosquitos will bite bare feet and ankles.

• Stay indoors or in screened-in areas.

• Mosquitos are weak fliers, so a ceiling fan above a bed or strategically placed portable fans can be quite effective.

• Use insect repellent containing DEET or picaridin.

As for whether the Aedes genus of mosquito will reach you in Minnesota, health officials have mapped the mosquito’s potential geographic range in the U.S. The Aedes genus lives in tropical, subtropical and a few temperate climates. According to the latest map produced by the CDC, the range of Aedes aegypti, the main carrier, does not reach your area in the Great Lakes states at this time.

Although the majority of people who contract Zika recover fully in about a week, there are many unknowns regarding the virus and its effects. Vigilance remains your best strategy.

The CDC’s Zika map: cdc.gov/zika/pdfs/ zika-mosquito-maps.pdf • Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.

I am 14 and a freshman in high school. I’m not allowed to date (my mother’s rule), but I really like a boy. I think of him all the time. Thankfully, I’m his friend, but he already has a girlfriend.

It hurts me to keep my feelings secret, and that he’s happy with another girl. I don’t want to ruin his relationship, but it sometimes crosses my mind even though I know it’s wrong. Can you please tell me how to deal with this? I want to be his friend, but if I could, I would love to be more than friends. – Friend Zoned Dear Friend Zoned: I know it isn’t easy, but your best bet would be to stand pat and make no announcements for now. Because your mother feels you aren’t ready to date, imagine how restrictive she’ll become if she knows you may be influencing this boy to break up with his girlfriend.

And furthermore, if word got around your school you’re the kind of girl who would deliberately cause a breakup, your reputation would be trashed. Be patient and bide your time, and the future will take care of itself.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married 25 years. We have never had children together, but he has a daughter from a previous marriage. “Bridget” has blessed us with three grandchildren. We get along great, and she has been a wonderful daughter and stepdaughter.

I acknowledge all their birthdays by sending a card and check each year. Bridget always gets her father a gift and card for his birthday. She’s also very close to her mother.

My problem is, Bridget has never acknowledged my birthday with a card or even a phone call. She has never asked, “When is your birthday?” when we are discussing birthdays. I once even hinted mine falls in between two of the grandkids’ birthdays.

Am I wrong to feel hurt for never having been acknowledged after 25 years, or should I just let it go? – Sad Stepmom In Michigan Dear Stepmom: After a quarter of a century, I think it’s time to let it go. The time to have mentioned it was years ago, and the person who should have said something to Bridget was her father.

Dear Abby: Our daughter got married recently, and we discovered dear friends were left off the guest list. We are so upset I have lost sleep over it. How do we make amends? We would never have hurt them like this deliberately. –

Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk who lived in the 5th or 6th century, said, “Many roads lead to the path, but basically there are only two: reason and practice.”

Trying to find the best opening lead at the bridge table requires reason, and one’s judgment will be improved with practice.

Look only at the West hand. What would you lead against five diamonds?

North used the Unusual Notrump, showing at least 5-5 in the minors. East’s three-spade raise indicated the values for a single raise: 6-9 points. (With a normal game-invitational limit raise, East would jump to four spades. The theory is that West will play the cards more accurately than usual, knowing so much about the deal’s distribution.) South jumped to five diamonds, thinking that it might make or be a cheap save.

In a social game, West made the bad lead of the club ace. There was no reason to believe that partner was short in the suit. West continued with a second club. South won with dummy’s king and discarded a spade. He drew trumps ending on the board, ruffed a club, crossed to the spade ace and ruffed another club, but now he could not take 11 tricks. He still had to lose a spade and a heart.

Declarer would have survived if he had led a heart from his hand instead of a spade to the ace, but much better would have been a heart toward his king after drawing trumps (or even before touching trumps). Here, he would have cruised home.

If West had led a “boring” spade, the contract would have had no chance, the defenders taking one trick in each side suit.

BOYS BASKETBALL: DUNDEE-CROWN 57, HAMPSHIRE 49

Chargers finish Whips

D-C avoids repeat of last week’s defeat

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – The win that slipped away from Dundee-Crown on Saturday, after leading Hampshire by 14 in the fourth quarter, nagged at the Chargers all week.

So when Friday’s rematch with the Whip-Purs started down a similar path, D-C was determined to finish the job.

“It was about playing the whole 32 minutes,” Chargers guard Jack Orndahl said. “We got ahead and we let up a little bit, we knew we needed to persevere through and grind it out. That experience really helped us get the ‘W’ tonight.”

Orndahl played a big role, hitting all six of his free-throw attempts in the fourth quarter, as D-C defeated Hampshire, 57-49, in their Fox Valley Conference boys basketball opener. It was both teams’ first games since Saturday, when Hampshire defeated the Chargers, 51-49, in overtime.

Orndahl missed a crucial front end of a bonus free-throw chance in that game and stewed about it for five days. “[Orndahl] is a pretty determined guy, probably hard on himself to a fault,” Chargers coach Lance Huber said. “He wanted it tonight and he stepped up and made them when we needed them.”

Orndahl, a junior, hit four 3-pointers and scored a game-high 22 points.

Forward Tariq Burns had 14 points and a game-high 13 rebounds for D-C (2-3 overall, 1-0 FVC).

Hampshire (1-4, 0-1) jumped to a 13-5 lead after the first quarter before 6-foot-7 junior Gabe Bergeron sparked a 19-6 second quarter for D-C. Bergeron started with a 3-pointer and finished with a dunk on a three-point play.

“It’s important coming off the bench to keep crashing the boards.

My guys sometimes need a pickup,” Bergeron said. “I need to come in, get as many rebounds as I can and get the ball moving. Hopefully, get some looks.”

Orndahl’s last 3 and Bergeron’s tipin dunk late in the third quarter gave

Dundee-Crown’s Tariq Burns shoots over Hampshire’s Nathan Gomez in the third quarter Friday in Carpentersville. D-C won, 57-49.

D-C its biggest lead at 40-29, but the Whips cut the lead to 40-38 with 5:44 remaining in the fourth quarter.

“We started to attack the rim better,” Hampshire coach Ben Whitehouse said. “We kept clawing defensively. We put the wrong kid at the free-throw line a couple of times, but I loved our intensity and our fight. We just weren’t able to finish inside when we had opportunities.”

Center Nathan Gomez led Hampshire with 12 points, and guard J.D. Shaw added nine.

“We were in the same situation last week, so we talked about they were going to come after us and press us,” Huber said. “We handled it worse (Saturday) than we did tonight. They took it to us (Saturday) and our guys didn’t handle it very well. We talked a lot about learning our lesson from the week before and the guys did a good job responding.”

Buske came up with two pivotal plays about the middle point of the fourth quarter with D-C clinging to a 44-41 lead. Buske, who scored six points, hit a 9-foot jumper, then blocked a shot and grabbed the rebound on defense. Jack Orndahl was fouled after that play and made two free throws, and the Chargers led by at least five the rest of the game.

The Chargers also were without 6-foot-2 junior center Maddie Tripp, who was involved in a car accident in the past week but did play in team’s last game against Crystal Lake South Tuesday.

“I felt that we had some key turnovers at times we needed to value the ball a little more,” Chargers coach Sarah Miller said. “I felt it was close at moments, but we weren’t able to capitalize offensively.

I don’t think we attacked.

“I thought on the perimeter we did a lot of dribbling side to side, and we barely got the ball inside. Credit to CaryGrove for putting the pressure on and us not being aggressive.”

Allison Michalski led the Chargers with 12 points and nine rebounds, Paige Gieseke added nine points, eight rebounds and three assists, and Randl had eight points.

C-G next faces Huntley, which has won conference the past three seasons, on Tuesday.

“The last few years have been tough, especially for me being out last year,” Getka said. “It’s a new feeling that’s really good.”

Overly spearheaded the attack.

“Autumn was making great decisions,” Woodstock coach Jen Nichols-Hogle said. “She was making sure her teammates were involved and she was communicating. She was doing everything that a captain should do.”

Meanwhile, R-B senior forward Mackenzie Hahn found herself on the bench after picking up her third foul 6 1/2 minutes into the game. She sat the entire second quarter, then picked up her fourth foul 15 seconds into the third quarter.

“I was telling her maybe we need to dye her hair another color,” R-B coach Todd Severns joked. “They see that blond pony tail and the whistle (blows) and they call a foul. She never complains, though.”

Woodstock (2-4, 2-0 KRC) held its largest lead at the end of the third quarter, an 18-point advantage. The Rockets (2-3, 0-2) cut it to five with a minute and a half to play. In the fourth quarter, R-B’s KC Davids, Brooke Legnaioli and Hahn each scored six points.

The Rockets rally ran out of time.

“One of the things we talked about was no matter who gets runs and who gets hot, we’ve got to make sure we stay positive and we keep working for the next play,” Nichols-Hogle said.

The Blue Streaks’ 6-foot freshman Emma Brand scored 10 points off the bench. Diana Spokas added eight points. In addition to her 17 points, Overly also grabbed six rebounds.

Woodstock finished the game 24 of 32 from the free throw line as a team, although seven of their eight misses came in the fourth quarter.

Legnaioli led the way for the Rockets with 14 points and Davids finished with 12.

4 ALDEN-HEBRON FOOTBALL

Giants will switch to 8-player game

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com Alden-Hebron is moving to eight-player football next fall, and coach John Lalor hopes to convince the IHSA to recognize the sport.

Lalor, also A-H’s athletic director, will travel to Bloomington on Wednesday for the IHSA football advisory committee meeting, where he will propose 8-on-8 football be sanctioned by the IHSA. Accompanying Lalor will be North Shore Country Day AD Patrick McHugh, whose school has played eight-player football for the past two years in Wisconsin’s Great 8 Conference.

Lalor has coached Alden-Hebron for 14 seasons and reached the IHSA Class 1A playoffs in 12 of those seasons. This year’s team featured 20 players and finished 3-6. Declining numbers in recent years have caused concern about the future of the program. A-H has about 110 students.

“It’s time for Illinois to recognize that they need to help out some of the smaller schools if they’re going to save their football programs,” Lalor said.

John Konstantaras for Shaw Media

Alden-Hebron’s Taylor Glenn (right) is hit at the line by Hiawatha’s Cole Dunbar during the second quarter Sept. 30 in Hebron. A-H will go to eight-player football next season.

“Eight-man is a great option.”

Lalor said Alden-Hebron, North Shore Country Day, Westminster Christian and Rockford Christian Life have committed to play eight-player football next season. They plan to play a home-and-away series with each other and hope to find enough teams in Wisconsin to fill out the remaining three games on the schedule.

According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, 17 states sanction eight-player football, including neighboring states Wisconsin and Iowa. Minnesota sanctions nine-player football, and Texas plays six-player football.

Eight-player offenses typically have two fewer offensive linemen and one fewer receiver or tight end. Defenses typically use three linemen and a combination of five linebackers and defensive backs.

“Would I rather play 11-man? Well, I just want to play football,” Lalor said.

“It is a little bit (different), but it’s still football. The kids still have a chance to play tackle football. To me, if we can save 30 to 40 rural schools in Illinois, save their programs, that’s a big step in the right direction.”

There’s no guarantee the IHSA will recognize eight-player football next year. Larger schools might be concerned how taking 30 to 40 schools out of Class 1A would affect the rest of the classifications from classes 2A through 8A. The IHSA already recognizes a number of emerging sports that don’t have

a postseason tournament. Lacrosse is the most recent sport to earn a state series, which begins in spring 2018.

Even if there isn’t an eight-player state tournament right away, Lalor thinks recognition from the IHSA would be a step in the right direction.

He said he surveyed every school in the state with an enrollment of fewer than 500 students to see whether there was interest in eight-player football.

Lalor’s survey found 42 schools across the state that might be forced to switch to eight-player football by 2019 because of decreased participation.

Whether the IHSA decides to sanction eight-player football or not, A-H is committed.

“I would rather play a year of competitive eight-man football, even if it’s not recognized for a year or two, just to save the program,” Lalor said. “If we try to play 11-man, we’re going to be in the same boat that Christian Life was last year. They had to forfeit all their games, and they ended up playing everybody in eight-man anyway, but it was considered a forfeit.”

The football advisory committee is at 10 a.m. Wednesday in Bloomington.

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino

• Saturday, December 3, 2016

On Saturdays in the fall, John Flood’s goal is to help the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater football team chase another national championship.

On many other days around campus, Flood is concerned with helping mankind discover a way to Mars and beyond.

“I’m really intrigued by [space],” said Flood, a Richmond-Burton graduate who is a senior defensive end for the Warhawks. “It’s one of my passions outside of football. There’s so much out there to explore. For one, we don’t really know if it ever ends. Is it truly infinite?”

A double major in mathematics and physics with an interest in aerospace engineering, Flood is working with a Whitewater professor to study images from a NASA satellite.

“We’re looking at images of the center of the Milky Way galaxy,” he said. “We have pictures from 2005 and pictures from 2015. We’re looking for new stars that have been born in that time.”

Flood’s academic and football success, along with his community involvement, have made him part of a unique crowd in NCAA Division III. He is one of 10 semifinalists for the Gagliardi Trophy, the top award given to multifaceted players on the D-III level. Fan voting at D3Football.com is taking place until noon Monday, when four finalists will be named. The winner will be announced Dec. 14.

“It’s cool that it reflects everything about a person,” said Flood, a threeyear starter who is a team captain. “In Division I, the Heisman is just based on your football achievements.”

Flood has been active in volunteer work with the Special Olympics, youth football camps and visiting local retirement homes.

On the field, Flood has an impressive résumé. He has been a four-year contributor, racking up 26.5 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks for a program that has been to the national semifinals 10 of the past 11 years and won six national titles since 2007.

A win at noon Saturday in Whitewater against Ohio’s John Carroll (11-1), ranked No. 6 by D3Football.com, will send the second-ranked Warhawks (12-0) to the semifinals again.

“Being around the playoffs as long as I have, you kind of get used to the feeling,” said Flood, who will play in his 17th career playoff game. “Being more familiar with it really helps.”

Flood and the Whitewater defense are No. 1 nationally with 44 turnovers

Wisconsin-Whitewater senior defensive end John Flood (left), a Richmond-Burton graduate, is a semifinalist for the Gagliardi Trophy, given to the top multifaceted player in Division III football.

Vote for Flood Voting for the Gagliardi Trophy, the top award in NCAA Division III football, runs until noon Monday. Richmond-Burton graduate John Flood, a senior defensive end at Wisconsin-Whitewater, is one of 10 semifinalists.

To take part in the award’s fan vote, visit d3football.com/notables/2016/11/ gagliardi-voting. forced. They also ranked 14th against the run (77.8 yards a game) and No. 18 in scoring defense (14.8 points).

Although he isn’t sure whether his academic path will lead him into engineering or physics, he would like to work on spaceships that could travel to Mars.

“I could definitely see myself getting a PhD and working in astrophysics or aerospace engineering,” said Flood, who is planning to apply to graduate schools at Colorado University-Boulder and the universities of Arizona and Illinois.

This summer, he was part of a research project at the University of Arizona studying how flow separation affects the wings of an airplane.

“I helped them troubleshoot a couple of problems with their wind tunnel,” he said. “I worked in their lab with a guy with a PhD, a guy from Boeing with a PhD and another guy who was working on his master’s thesis.

“Obviously, I wasn’t the most intelligent guy on the job,” he joked.

Ferris State makes waves: Marian Central grad Kyle Thompson, a senior tight end, has helped Ferris State’s football team advance to the NCAA D-II playoff quarterfinals for the first time since 1995. On Saturday, the Bulldogs (10-2) travel to Grand Valley State (12-0) to face their longtime Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and west Michigan rival at noon.

Thompson has three receptions for 26 yards this season and caught his first career TD on senior day. He also has a major impact on the Bulldogs’ running game as a blocker. Ferris is the nation’s ninth-best rushing offense with 263.1 yards a game and has won seven games in a row. Thompson, a team captain, and his fellow seniors have achieved a 47-7 career record and three consecutive trips to the playoffs.

Billikens at their best: Senior forward Olivia Jakubicek is averaging 6.2 points and a career-high six rebounds this season for D-I Saint Louis University’s women’s basketball team. The Billikens are off to a 5-1 start. Jakubicek (Cary-Grove) posted her first career double-double with season-best totals of 11 points and 10 rebounds in the team’s 68-58 win Nov. 20 against Bradley.

Aurora pair earns all-conference: Junior linebacker Cody Patchett (McHenry East) and sophomore defensive lineman Ray DiMatteo (Cary-Grove) were

two players from D-III Aurora University’s football team to earn All-Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference honors.

Patchett earned first-team honors after compiling 37 tackles, two tackles for loss and three pass breakups this season for the Spartans (6-4). DiMatteo was a second-team choice after leading Aurora with 6.5 tackles for loss and three sacks. He had 28 total tackles.

Coast Guard standout: Sophomore wrestler Nick Remke (Marengo) earned the championship of the 165-pound class Nov. 19 at Springfield (Massachusetts) College’s Doug Parker Invitational.

Remke went 5-0 in the tournament for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, including two victories by major decision.

This season, Remke has a 10-1 record for the 23rd-ranked Bears.

Winona State DT shines: Cary-Grove grad Michael Gomez, a redshirt freshman at D-II Winona (Minnesota) State, earned a spot this fall on the All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference’s honorable mention team. Gomez had 30 tackles this season, including 6.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. He also had a 36-yard interception return for a touchdown against Concordia St. Paul.

Winona finished the season at 8-3.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS – Paul Chryst and James Franklin left the outside world behind Friday.

As college football pundits debated whether two Big Ten teams should make the four-team College Football Playoff, the two coaches vying for a Big Ten championship Saturday night trained their attention on something less nebulous: Winning one more game.

For No. 6 Wisconsin and No. 8 Penn State, it’s not the selection committee that matters right now. It’s taking home the trophy and winning the title.

“The only thing that exists for us is Wisconsin and the Big Ten championship game,” said Franklin, the Penn State coach. “I’m not going to sit here and make a case for us. Our whole focus will be on Wisconsin and getting ready for this game.”

That might sound good in the confines of a locker room or in a stadium decked out in cardinal and blue. Or at least until Sunday afternoon, when the playoff choices become final.

But even inside Lucas Oil Stadium, it’s hard to move beyond the résumés of these teams.

Wisconsin (10-2, No. 6 CFP) earned its fourth division crown in six years with six straight victories and by posting a 3-2 mark against top-10 teams.

The only stumbles were a seven-point loss at then-No. 2 Michigan and an overtime loss to No. 2 Ohio State.

“I think one quality of this team that I’ve appreciated a ton this year is their ability to make the most of the moment,” Chryst said of his Badgers.

“They’ve done a good job of that. So I don’t spend any time thinking about what you’re asking about (the playoffs). It’s not a big deal right now. We’d be doing this game and this team a real disservice if we didn’t put all of our energy into it.”

Penn State (10-2, No. 7) is the surprise newcomer to championship weekend.

It got here by winning eight straight since a 39-point drubbing at the hands of Michigan in late September. And although they only played one ranked team during that stretch, they did hand the Buckeyes their only loss of the season.

BETTING ODDS

ry and is questionable. If Hornibrook plays, Chryst likely will use his starter and backup Bart Houston. Otherwise, Houston will have to win it. Wisconsin also lists defensive lineman Conor Sheehy (right arm) as questionable.

GETTING DEFENSIVE

In an era when gaudy offensive numbers and high-scoring games Franklin declined several times to have become the norm, these teams explain why his own team deserved to are throwbacks – relying heavily on play for the national championship, the run and stout defenses. Wisconsin though he did imply the Nittany Lions leads the nation with 21 interceptions, won what might be the nation’s tough- 11 in the past three weeks. Penn State finished fourth in the Big Ten in total est division – the Big Ten East.

He’d just rather let the conference defense and hasn’t allowed a touchdown in its past two games. title make the case for him.

“I’m not sure about résumés, what résumés have to do with the Big Ten BACK HOME AGAIN Indiana has been a fertile ground championship game,” Franklin said.

“I think to play for a Big Ten champi- for both teams recently. The Badgers onship is a tremendous honor on its have won eight straight regular-season own and then to find a way to win this games against Purdue and Indiana and game and take that baby home would won two of the first three title games in Indy. Penn State, meanwhile, is makbe great.”

Here are some other things to watch ing its third trip to the state since Oct. 29, when it routed Purdue, 62-24. Two Saturday: weeks later, they hung on for a 45-31 victory at Indiana.

INJURY WATCH Penn State running back Saquon Barkley looks good to go for Franklin. GETTING CLOSE? Wisconsin won the Big Ten’s in“He’s been drinking a lot of milk all week and orange juice and vitamin C,” augural title game, 42-39, in 2011, and Franklin said before turning to a refer- Michigan State drove for a late score to ence from “The Karate Kid.” ‘’We flew beat Iowa, 16-13, last year. In between, in Mr. Miyagi, hit him on the ankle the games have been mostly blowouts.

This time, at least on paper, it looks with the hands.”

The bigger question will be Wiscon- like a more evenly matched contest – sin quarterback Alex Hornibrook, who one that might whip the large crowd left last week’s game with a head inju- into a frenzy Saturday night.

“Where I come from, if you make a bet and you lose, you gotta pay up,” James said. “It’s that simple.”

Wade didn’t expect any less from his friend.

“I actually thought he looked good,” Wade said of James in the Cubs uniform.

“He actually looked like he could play baseball. I would have looked terrible.”

But the way James saw it, he and his teammates had bigger problems than pregame attire, as the defending NBA champions are in a rut.

BULLS NOTES

James, Wade share fond Miami memories

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – LeBron James is only looking forward.

The three-time NBA champion was asked about life with Dwyane Wade and their four-year run in Miami, and was way more about their friendship than their on-the-court accomplishments.

“I don’t think I’m going to look back at the four-year run,” James told Cleveland reporters. “Anytime I see [Wade], I don’t even think about the time on the court. I think about the friendship and the camaraderie that we built over these last 14 years. We’ve got so many memories off the floor, and obviously, you guys know about what happened on the court. Those things are always going to be there.

We know what we accomplished. We wanted to accomplish even more, but it’s a new day, it’s a new time, and I don’t think I’m going to look back on

[Miami] too much.”

Wade, however, has a much different approach. Then again, Wade admittedly had to sacrifice a lot more on the court than James did.

“I definitely changed my game more,” Wade said of playing with James.

“It’s not even a conversation. It’s not even a conversation to have.

I definitely changed LeBron James mine more.

“I mean, we all knew the sacrifice that had to be made.

When you sit down and you talk about playing together, you think you know.

You try and cover things in that moment. But then once you start playing together, you realize it’s harder than what you thought. But we all knew that we had to sacrifice. Chris Bosh, too. He’s somebody that they don’t talk about. He had to sacrifice a lot, too.

But at the end of the day, we sacrificed

points, maybe article hits, but what we gained was championships and friendships and a brotherhood that lasts a lifetime, so I’m sure if we could do it all over again, we’d do it exactly the same way.”

And although Wade is the older of the two, he said that what he learned from playing with James was invaluable.

“You cannot be Dwyane Wade around someone who is great and not learn something from him,” Wade said. “If you don’t, something is wrong with you. The one thing I always said about LeBron is I thought he was an unbelievable teammate. I thought as a leader and someone who gets as much attention as he gets, he does an unbelievable job of making his teammates feel like they’re him in a sense. They all walk with that same swagger and confidence. He takes them along the

ride with him.”

That’s the leadership that Wade has been trying to display with his new Bulls teammates. Well, at least through Friday, as there will be no ride along for Wade on Saturday.

With the Bulls playing in Dallas and it being the second of four games in five nights, coach Fred Hoiberg and Wade made the decision to leave the 34-year-old behind in Chicago.

Sunday will be an off-day before they play Portland on Monday and head to Detroit on Tuesday. As of now, Wade was expected to start the games against the Trail Blazers and Pistons.

McDermott moves closer: Doug McDermott is still in the concussion protocol, but according to Hoiberg, the reserve could be cleared to start taking contact in the next few days.

McDermott has missed eight games with a second concussion and could start practicing with the D-League team to get back in condition if he’s cleared by Monday.

• Saturday, December 3, 2016

CHICAGO – The off-the-court humiliation came before the game.

There was LeBron James, walking into the United Center hours before Friday night’s tip-off, dressed in a full Cubs uniform.

Cameras and cellphones actively catching his every step, as he made the walk of shame from the bus drop-off area to the visiting locker room.

Just one of the punishments James received in his World Series bet with good friend, and former Miami teammate, Dwyane Wade.

“This [expletive] is crazy,” James would say during the stroll, while Wade captured the entire payoff on his own cellphone.

“Doesn’t he look good everybody?”

Wade would yell to the crowd.

Not the last laugh Wade got on his friend, either.

Thanks to Rajon Rondo’s first triple-double in a Bulls uniform, as well as Jimmy Butler scoring a team-high 26 points, and Wade adding 24, the Bulls handed James and the Cavaliers their third straight loss, 111-105.

For once, not the best night to be James.

never caved in. Gibson finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds, while Lopez had only five rebounds, but four of them were on the offensive end.

“I thought Taj’s aggressiveness and our guys’ willingness and ability to find him early in the possession before the defense got set, and the way we spaced the floor … we talked a lot about that [before the game],” Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. “Wade, Jimmy and Taj were all beasts.”

Not only evident by the fact that the Bulls (11-7) outrebounded Cleveland, 49-33, but beat them with points in the paint, 78-60.

“They had 78 points in the paint,” James said. “That’s uncalled for. We have to be tougher in the paint.”

The night wasn’t a complete waste for James, however. He did get to compete against Wade.

“We’re on the other side of our careers, but we’re still able to make plays,” James said of Wade. “Anytime we play each other, we’re always grateful for the opportunity.”

“We were both drafted in the same year, both have franchises that we had to try put on our back, and we did that and were successful. Then we teamed up and were successful once again. It’s always special.”

10 BLACKHAWKS

Hawks face glut of defensemen

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com Michal Rozsival has been here before. A few times, actually. So many times, in fact, that he knew the inevitable question – about how an eight-man rotation on the blue line would work – was coming the moment a reporter asked to speak with him.

“That’s funny,” he said, laughing. “I was just telling everybody that that was the question you were going to ask. I still don’t know the answer. In the job Trevor we do, there are van Riemsdyk things you can’t control. You go out there, you play your best, you hope you get to keep playing. You’ve got to ask somebody else these questions.

As players, we know very little about who’s going to play or not.”

Trevor van Riemsdyk’s pending return to the lineup Saturday at Philadelphia after missing six weeks with an apparent shoulder injury further complicates an already crowded Blackhawks blue line. And nobody’s quite sure how it’s all going to play out.

Unlike in 2013-14, when Sheldon Brookbank and Michael Kostka rotated with Michal Rozsival in and out of the No. 6 defenseman spot, there is no clear top six – or even top five – for the Hawks. Duncan Keith, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Brent Seabrook and Brian Campbell are locked into the lineup each night. Michal Kempny has been good this season but has been a healthy scratch five times and likely will be out again in Philadelphia. Gustav Forsling has had some growing pains, but coach Joel Quenneville and the organization are high on him, yet he’s likely a healthy scratch for the fifth time against the Flyers. Van Riemsdyk played all 82 games last season.

And Rozsival, expected to play little this season and to serve as a safety net, of sorts, has played in five of the past seven games and has played well, throwing a

wrench into the Hawks’ plans.

He’s likely going to be van Riemsdyk’s partner on the third pairing on Saturday.

“We don’t mind the wrench he’s throwing at us,” Quenneville countered. “We feel he’s playing well. We’ll try to keep everybody in it. If everybody’s playing well, we’ll try to move it around a little bit.”

For a coach, this is a good problem to have. For the players who feel they deserve to play every day, it can be frustrating.

“Obviously, everyone would rather be in the lineup every day, and it’s easier to be at your best when you’re playing all the time,” Rozsival said. “It can be hard when you’re in and out. But I’ve done it before, and you just have to stay as ready as you can.”

Van Riemsdyk appeared to lose his spot to Forsling at the start of the season, playing in only two of the first five games before injuring himself while falling into the net Oct. 21 in Columbus. Despite playing in every game last season, van Riemsdyk said he never took his spot in the lineup for granted. Now, with two capable players sitting out behind him, he knows more than ever how important each game is, and how short the leash might be.

“But you don’t want to try to be doing too much, or play outside your game,” van Riemsdyk said. “That usually leads to trouble. You never really know exactly how it’ll work out, but you’ve just got to do your part and do your best. We have eight great defensemen here, so it’ll be up to the coaches.”

Note: Captain Jonathan Toews will miss his fifth straight game Saturday in Philadelphia with a back injury suffered Nov. 23 in San Jose. Toews said he started hurting in the first period, and his awkward second-period fall only aggravated it.

He skated on his own for the first time Friday, then stuck around for the first half of the team’s practice. He took it easy during his skate, and often was flexing and stretching his back both on the ice and during a brief scrum with reporters afterward.

PGA TOUR: HERO WORLD CHALLENGE

Tiger fires 65 in 2nd round back from lengthy absence

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

NASSAU, Bahamas – Tiger Woods saved par from the dunes with a shot so good that two spectators ran over and scooped up sand for a souvenir.

It also served as motivation Friday at the Hero World Challenge. The tee shot on the par-3 eighth that landed next to a bush was so bad that Woods said he told caddie Joe LaCava after his par putt, “I’m not dropping a shot.”

And he didn’t.

Woods capped a bogey-free round with an even more unlikely par save on the 16th hole. What stood out on a balmy day at Albany was a seven-hole stretch in the middle of the round in which he never really missed a shot. It led to enough birdies for a 7-under-par 65, leaving him six shots behind the leaders and in a tie for ninth in the 17-man field.

His golf was as good as it was Thursday, his first competition in 15 months, only this time he eliminated the mistakes.

“I wanted to keep that card clean,” Woods said. “I don’t know what it is about playing and competing, but keeping cards clean, there’s something really special. And it feels pretty good about doing that.”

And he did it quickly, in just less than three hours.

Justin Rose, who opened with a 74, withdrew with back problems. That left Woods as a single, and when he realized there would not be much wind, he felt he could play just as well without a marker (typically the club pro) to get a feel for how various shots might be affected.

He was on his own and moving in the right direction.

The par save on No. 8 and a wedge to tapin range on the No. 9 allowed him to make the turn in 33, just like Thursday. The dif-

After pounding a drive down with the wind at his back on the par-5 11th – he had to carry a bunker 290 yards away – he switched to a 5-iron to play away from a bunker to the right of the green, making sure he would have the right angle to the pin. It was right where he was aiming, a yard off the green, setting up an easy two-putt birdie. He followed that with a 6-iron to a foot for birdie on the 12th, a 10-foot birdie putt on the 14th and a two-putt birdie on the par-5 15th.

He made seven birdies, but nothing brought out the emotion like a par.

His tee shot on the 16th, where he made double bogey Thursday, took a wild hop into a bush in the sandy area. Enough of the ball was showing that Woods tried to hit 6-iron to the front bunker, but it came out heavy into more of the waste area. The next shot was well beyond the hole.

The par putt dropped on its final turn, and Woods thrust his fist toward the cup and slapped the face of his putter.

Two more pars, and he was done and feeling much better about the next two days.

Johnson, Matsuyama share lead

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

NASSAU, Bahamas – Dustin Johnson wasn’t even expecting to be in the Bahamas for the Hero World Challenge. He was tied for the lead Friday with Hideki Matsuyama, who has reason to expect being at the top of any tournament he plays.

Six shots behind was Tiger Woods, who shot a 7-under-par 65 without anyone in his way.

Johnson ran off three straight birdies early in his round, moved into contention with an eagle and closed with a fearless

drive down the middle of the water-lined 18th fairway at Albany that set up a birdie for a 66.

Matsuyama had the lead to himself until a bogey from the bunker on the par-3 17th.

He shot a 67 to tie Johnson at 12-under 132.

They were two shots ahead of Louis Oosthuizen and Matt Kuchar, who each shot 67.

Asked if he was more surprised to be tied with Johnson or six shots ahead of Woods, Matsuyama smiled wide.

“I’m happy for both,” he said. “Tiger has been my idol since I was little. It’s great to have him back. I know he can win again.”

SPORTS BRIEFS

Cubs and LHP Brian Duensing agree to $2 million, 1-year deal

CHICAGO – The Cubs and left-hander Brian Duensing have agreed to a one-year contract, giving manager Joe Maddon a versatile new reliever for the bullpen.

The reigning World Series champions also offered 2017 contracts to right-handed pitchers Jake Arrieta, Justin Grimm, Hector Rondon and Pedro Strop.

Duensing’s contract is for $2 million, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team did not disclose terms Friday. Duensing went 1-0 with a 4.05 ERA in 14 relief outings for Baltimore last season. He pitched the previous seven seasons with Minnesota.

For his career, he is 42-37 with a 4.13 ERA in 368 appearances, 307 of which have come in relief.

White Sox agree to 1-year deals with OF Garcia, 2B Lawrie

CHICAGO – The White Sox have agreed to a $3 million, one-year contract with outfielder Avisail Garcia and a $3.5-million, one-year deal with second baseman Brett Lawrie.

The 25-year-old Garcia hit .245 with 12 home runs, 51 RBIs and 59 runs in 120 games last season.

Lawrie, 26, missed the final 10 weeks because of a hamstring injury and knee pain. He batted .248 with 12 homers, 36 RBIs and 35 runs in 94 games.

Porter’s film reviews earn 4 stars Veteran corner helps younger players study

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com

D

eiondre’ Hall was 15 years old when Tracy Porter, then with the New Orleans Saints, picked off the Indianapolis Colts’ Peyton Manning and took it to the house in Super Bowl XLIV. Now, Hall and his fellow Bears defensive backs head to Porter’s house once a week for film sessions. Hall said the players sit on the couch while Porter sits off to the side with an iPad, pointing out things on the TV, getting his teammates on the same page as to the receivers they are about to face.

“The man got knowledge, so I’m just taking in what I can from him, the small tips,” said the rookie corner. “He sees film a little bit differently than us younger guys do. He’s been there and done that.”

Porter, the oldest defensive back on the team at 30, hosts his position group at his home, offering a bonus film session – with food provided – for the Bears’ young position group.

Every player watches tape, but to truly take what is seen on the iPad screen to the field on Sundays is the next level. And the level after that is making sure your teammates are doing the same.

“You have the meetings defensively, but there’s no better way to watch the film than to watch with the guys you’re going to be on the field with,” Porter said. “The coaches do their job putting us in the right place and drawing up schemes and whatnot, but when you’re on the field, the coaches can’t be on the field, so you have to work with the guys who are going to be in the game with you. I try to get them to my house as much as I can so we can all be on the same page.”

Second-year cornerback Bryce Callahan said Porter has helped him polish his game through watching tape. Porter noticed Callahan’s feet weren’t right in press coverage.

Hall said Porter worked with him on how to recognize whether it’s a three- or five-step drop-back from the quarterback, so that he can then get his eyes to the receiver to figure out “if he’s going to go vertical or sit it down.”

Bears cornerback Tracy Porter acknowledges the cheers from fans after the Bears beat the Lions, 17-14, Oct. 2 at Soldier Field.

The simple act of studying film, not just what’s on the screen, is something Porter teaches, too.

“Watching film before I came here, I just kind of watched it and tried to put everything together,” Callahan said, “but he broke it up for me to like, what to watch first, first and second down, then short-yardage. He helped me out with that.”

That sounds similar to the way Porter first learned to watch tape.

In his rookie season, 2008, Porter learned from Saints teammate Aaron Glenn, a three-time Pro Bowler who was in the NFL for 15 seasons.

“He said, ‘Man, you have good feet, good hips, the longer you can square when you’re pedaling with receivers, it can help you out throughout the down,’ ” Porter said. “He taught me how to be more of a technician versus just relying on athletic ability, because at this level, everyone’s athletic. He taught me about how to watch tape, what to look for.”

Vic Fangio runs the defense, and Ed Donatell coaches the defensive backs, but Porter is like the teaching assistant who uses his office hours to make sure his teammates can improve.

“Those guys, they’re young. They’re able to play the game, but I’ve been trying to get them to understand that it’s more than just being physically and athletically able to play the game,” Porter said. “This game is more mental than it is physical. It’s kind of hard for people on the outside to see that, but this is a mental game. If you can stay ahead of the opposing team, the

opposing offense, mentally, and you have a feel for what they want to do, it’s going to allow you to play faster.

“It’s going to make your 4.3 look like a 4.2, your 4.4 look like a 4.3, so on and so forth. I try to get those guys to watch film and understand concepts of what offenses like to do. Because a coach can call the same defensive play every down throughout the entire game, but if you know what the offenses is doing, you’re going to be able to make plays on the ball. I see them, they’re definitely growing in that direction. That’ll come with more years and more experience.”

Fangio said young players “play the game from the neck down almost 100 percent of the time” and that Porter’s coaching gives them more reason to understand the importance of the mental aspects of the game.

“As you get older, you need to play the game from the neck up some,” he said. “His experiences and knowledge helps.”

Often, we’ve heard Fangio and coach John Fox rave about Porter’s football intelligence. It’s why they trust Porter to lock down the opponent’s best receiver each week, and why he’s been the team’s best and most consistent defensive player over the past two seasons. Now he’s imparting that on his teammates.

“By me having what the coaches consider good football IQ, I pick up things football-wise pretty quickly, so it’s easy for me to see things and notice things and watching film, and I can help out the younger guys. I try to get

those guys to come back and bring me things that they see,” he said. “That’s my way of training those guys and getting them used to watching tape.”

Fangio said it was “pretty obvious early on” that Porter’s understanding of the game was better than most players.

“Those are the types of people that can watch film on their own constructively and gain from it,” Fangio said.

“A lot of the players really can’t do that, they need a coach there with them to point it out. Since we have a lot of young players, particularly in the secondary, that’s the case here. But when he watches it, he can help them.

Those guys know when he gives them a tip or something, that it’s coming from study and experience, it’s not just a guess. He’s been a good influence.”

It’s easy for Porter to think of a specific moment in his career that he could trace back directly to his film study.

On the off day during Super Bowl XLIV week, Porter said the entire Saints secondary spent four to five hours in the film room. What else would you do when you’re preparing for Peyton Manning?

“We didn’t know what everyone else was doing, but in our mind, we were facing Peyton Manning,” Porter recalled. “He’s the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time).”

Porter, then in his second season, remembers veteran corner Pierson Prioleau pointing out a play that kept coming up on tape and telling his teammates, “Man, if we don’t intercept this pass in the Super Bowl, we don’t deserve to win.”

That led to the pick-six that has been the highlight of Porter’s career.

As Porter, in his ninth season, fights through injuries to stay on the field, he knows that what he can pick up in the film room can give him an edge even if he’s physically not at 100 percent. The film study keeps him playing at a high level. Just ask Odell Beckham (46 yards vs. Porter), Mike Evans (66 yards) and Allen Robinson (49 yards) about Porter’s abilities to contain No. 1 receivers.

“The coaches and the younger guys, they may say I’m a film rat. I watch a lot of film, I know a lot, but you don’t know everything,” he said. “To have the ability to still be able to grow in my ninth year, that definitely is exciting, because you don’t want to say, ‘OK, we’re back in here, I know they’re going to run hitches, I know they’re going to run slants, I know they’re going to do this.’ It’s exciting. It keeps the mind fresh.”
