Good morning, McHenry County ...

Economist says U.S., Illinois heading in opposite directions The Dow Jones industrial average topped the 20,000 mark for the first time in history Wednesday.

Brian Westbury thinks it could approach 30,000 in the next two to three years.

Speaking at Home State Bank’s 55th annual economic forecast luncheon Wednesday at Boulder Ridge Country Club in Lake in the Hills, Westbury, a chief economist at First Trust Advisors LP, predicted that Donald Trump’s presidency will be good for the markets, job growth and the economy in general.

“We will see what we’ve called the plowhorse economy start to trot, and maybe run, even,” Westbury said.

Despite significant growth since the aftermath of the Great Recession, the stock market actually has been undervalued by more than 20 percent the past eight years, Westbury said.

Why is that? Because of high taxes, overregulation and increasing government spending.

In 1950, nondefense government spending was 6 percent of the gross domestic product. In 2015, it was 17.9 percent. That’s massive growth in taxpayer-subsidized spending.

During the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, Westbury said, nondefense government spending actually shrank as a percentage of the GDP. The U.S. also grew at a healthy 4 percent annually during those terms, he said.

The U.S. economy has been growing the past several years, but at a rate closer to 2 percent annually. Westbury predicts that will change

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Dan McCaleb for the better under Trump, who has promised to shrink the size of the federal government – he’s already put a hiring freeze in place – and reduce regulations on businesses.

“It’s going to be a pretty good environment to get your work done,” Westbury said.

Illinois, on the other hand, “is in a death spiral,” he said.

“When a company leaves Illinois today because they’re overtaxed, overregulated, oversued, I cheer,” the longtime Illinois resident said, because it sends a message to the politicians in Springfield, and it’s also doing the right thing for the company and its employees.

As state lawmakers consider major tax hikes to try to balance its budget, Westbury said they should be cutting taxes.

“You can’t raise taxes enough to balance the budget,” he said. “You have to reduce expenses.”

Lawmakers, unfortunately, were in Springfield on Wednesday concocting new plans to raise our taxes, instead of being in Lake in the Hills listening to Westbury.

Mercyhealth announces plans to build facility off Route 31 in Crystal Lake

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Mercy Health System has submitted an application to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board to build a microhospital in Crystal Lake.

The new hospital would be at the corner of Three Oaks Road and Route 31, across Three Oaks Road from the Holiday Inn – the same site where it sought to build a full hospital in 2003.

The microhospital would include 13 beds, two operating rooms, a 24/7 emergency room and a clinic.

Mercyhealth said the new microhospital will create more than 150 new

Gov. Bruce Rauner greets lawmakers Wednesday as he enters the Illinois House chamber to deliver his State of the State address.

Rauner praises budget work, accomplishments

Governor calls on Legislature to work together in annual address

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Gov. Bruce Rauner took a more optimistic tone in this year’s State of the State address, but he said lawmakers need to work with him to resolve a budget impasse that has lasted a year and a half.

His address Wednesday afternoon before a joint session of the General Assembly – the Republican’s third since taking office – started with a sense of hope and highlighted accomplishments in making Illinois a better place. But he said both sides have to work together to reverse Illinois’ sagging fortunes.

Rauner’s 35-minute address comes as the leaders of the Illinois Senate craft a “grand compromise” budget deal that includes tax increases in exchange for

some reforms. The evolving compromise package of 13 bills did not go to votes in the Senate on Wednesday as leaders had originally hoped.

“We have big challenges, and like many of you, I’m frustrated by the slow pace of change in Springfield,” Rauner said. “But with great challenge comes great opportunity. By working together, we can overcome any obstacle.”

Rauner briefly went off script to thank the Senate for working on a plan, although he did not indicate whether he will support the 13-bill package being teed up in the Senate. He has maintained that he will not approve any sort of tax increase without some of the reforms he ran on to make the state more friendly to job creation and taxpayers.

“Please don’t give up. Please keep

working. The people of Illinois need you to succeed,” Rauner said.

McHenry County’s state lawmakers, all of whom are Republicans, echoed Rauner’s optimism that the state’s problems can be fixed. But one made it clear that the proposed budget deal being hammered out in the Senate would do the exact opposite.

“Let me be very specific – this is a massive tax increase that will kill jobs and drive more families out of the state,” said Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills.

Rauner spent much of his speech listing accomplishments such as ethics reform and increased government transparency; “innovative” new contracts with 20

ALGONQUIN

Trustees recommend approving medical marijuana dispensary

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – A medical marijuana dispensary is one step closer to coming to Algonquin.

The facility, at 1154 N. Main St., would operate similarly to a pharmacy but have higher levels of security, according to village documents.

Limited quantities of marijuana or marijuana products only would be distributed to patients with registration from the state of Illinois, which requires verification from a doctor that a patient has a condition that meets the requirements for medical marijuana, documents show.

Ross Morreale, representing ILDISP III LLC, has petitioned the village for a special-use permit that would allow the company to build an attached garage to the property to provide space for secure deliveries and removal of

waste product.

At the Committee of the Whole meeting Tuesday, trustees unanimously agreed to move the proposal forward for approval, Algonquin Village President John Schmitt said.

“I’m very happy that the village of Algonquin board understands that this isn’t like a hemp shop or anything like that,” Schmitt said Wednesday. “This is a dispensary for medical purposes that is drastically needed.”

The closest dispensary is in Schaumburg, Schmitt said, and this facility would provide relief to patients in McHenry County and surrounding areas.

Much of Tuesday’s nearly hourlong discussion regarding the dispensary revolved around the security of the facility, Schmitt said.

The location is easily accessible and has a high visibility for regular police monitoring, documents show, and the

building would operate with a 24-hour video monitoring system.

“The state has approached this very cautiously, and the security involved is significant,” Schmitt said.

The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act was passed in August 2013 and is effective until July 2020, according to the state’s website. The act allows for one medical marijuana dispensary in McHenry County, village documents show.

The item will come before the Village Board at its next meeting, 7:30 p.m.

Feb. 7 at Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive.

Algonquin Community Development Director Russ Farnum said that under the special-use permit the business would have a year to become licensed by the state and become operational. If plans for the project are approved, the facility would open in October, according to village documents.

Boyfriend of Algonquin woman who died from heroin OD faces prison for probation violation

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A former Algonquin man now faces prison time in connection with the overdose death of 21-year-old Danielle Barzyk after he admitted to a probation violation.

Cody N. Hillier, 25, previously pleaded guilty in May 2016 to unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and was sentenced to two years of probation.

Prosecutors said Hillier bought hero-

in from James Linder of Zion on Jan. 30, 2015, and later ingested the drugs with Barzyk, of Algonquin. Barzyk and Hillier were dating.

Barzyk died of a herCody N. oin overdose in the earHillier ly-morning hours the next day at Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin, according to autopsy reports.

Linder was charged and convicted

of drug-induced homicide by McHenry County jurors earlier this month. He will be sentenced Feb. 24.

Hillier was rearrested in October after violating the terms of his probation.

He admitted in court Wednesday that he tested positive for cocaine and failed to report to his probation officer on two separate occasions last year.

Hillier will be sentenced Feb. 1. He faces up to seven years in prison on the felony charge.

HARVARD – Former two-term Harvard Mayor Frank Godo died Monday at age 80.

Born Nov. 1, 1936, in Universal, Indiana, Godo was elected the city’s mayor in 1981, a title he held for eight years.

Before he was elected mayor, he was elected a Harvard City Council alderman for two consecutive terms.

After finishing his two terms as mayor, Godo would later become the Illinois Secretary of State driver services facility manager in Woodstock, where he served for more than 20 years.

Godo also was a former member of the Harvard Rescue Squad and was active in the Harvard Boys League for about 30 years.

“In his retirement, he worked part time as a records clerk up until the last two or three years,” Harvard Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Don Davidson said. “He Frank Godo was a great guy and devoted Green Bay Packer fan. He was always willing to help, and was very proud of the rescue squad and how it evolved.”

Godo is survived by his wife, Ruth, and two children, James and Melinda.

A visitation for Godo will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Saunders & McFarlin Funeral Home, 107 W. Sumner St., Harvard, and continue from 10 a.m. until the 11 a.m. funeral service Friday at Trinity Lutheran Church, 504 E. Diggins St., Harvard.

Fox Lake honors deputy for life-saving actions NORTHWEST HERALD FOX LAKE – Lake County Sheriff’s Office Marine Unit Deputy Jonathan Levin recently was honored for his life-saving actions during a Fox Lake crash.

Levin was driving home from a shift with the Marine Unit about 3:10 p.m. July 16 when he reached the scene of a serious crash on State Park Road south Jonathan of Grass Lake Road in Levin Fox Lake, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

The crash involved a pickup truck and three motorcycles, police said.

When Levin arrived, the pickup truck was on fire, and two motorcyclists were trapped underneath, police said.

Levin used his personal vehicle to block traffic and protect the victims when he arrived, and he pulled both motorcyclists away from the fire, police said. Levin administered first aid until paramedics arrived.

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – The Carpentersville Police Department recently announced that Sgt. Jorge Gonzalez has graduated from Northwestern University’s School of Police Staff and Command.

Gonzalez was one of 36 students to complete the 10-week program from September through this month.

The program provides officers with upper-level college instruction and covers topics such as human resources, leadership, employee relations, organizational behavior and budgeting.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity I was given to participate in this highly recognized and respected program,” Gonzalez said. “Northwestern University’s School of Police Staff and Command has given me an advanced perspective on how to be an effective leader and civil servant.”

Each program participant was academically challenged through projects, presentations, quizzes and

“The governor has demonstrated that he is committed to making school funding in Illinois more equitable, and I look forward to working with him on that endeavor ...”

Bruce Rauner, Illinois governor

Karen McConnaughay State senator, R-St. Charles

• STATE OF THE STATE state government employee unions; criminal justice reform; and increased education funding.

However, Rauner said the state “is failing to be compassionate because we are failing to be competitive,” citing the budget impasse’s devastating effect on social services and the state’s ongoing loss of people and jobs to other states. Illinois for the past two years has led the nation in out-migration, according to U.S. Census estimates.

The phrase stood out for new state Rep. Steven Reick, R-Woodstock. He said lawmakers need to build on their accomplishments and work in a bipartisan manner to end the budget standoff.

“Until we fix the problems that only can be fixed within this chamber, by looking beyond the next election, Illinois will never rise to its rightful place as the economic engine of the Midwest,” Reick said.

The lack of a budget is one of many problems Illinois faces. Its credit rating is the lowest of all 50 states, and it is expected to be lowered again if no budget deal materializes. State government has an $11 billion backlog of unpaid bills, and an unfunded pension liability of at least $130 billion – 20 percent of general fund spending now goes to pay state retirees.

Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles, said she is interested in Rauner wanting to increase commitment to education funding, on top of the $700 million extra in the past several years for K-12 schools and $100 million more for early childhood education. She is a member of the Illinois School Funding Reform Commission that is expected to release its report on issues with the existing school funding formula Feb. 1.

“The governor has demonstrated that he is committed to making school funding in Illinois more equitable, and I look forward to working with him on that endeavor as we move into the spring,” McConnaughay said.

Rauner again implored lawmakers to put constitutional amendments to voters to impose term limits on elected

Gov. Bruce Rauner delivers his State of the State address Wednesday in the Illinois House chamber. officials and reform the way that legislative districts are redrawn by taking the responsibility out of lawmakers’ hands. The courts last year ruled a voter petition to put it on the November ballot unconstitutional.

The lack of a budget and the reforms he said are necessary dominated the end of Rauner’s address. He said the state economy could “take off like a rocket ship” if lawmakers could come together on pro-jobs legislation. Democratic leaders of the General Assembly, who hold large majorities in both houses, have labeled many of Rauner’s proposed changes as bad for the middle and working classes.

“When it comes to the budget, we all can agree Illinois has to do something different,” Rauner said. “Our administration has offered many proposals to achieve a truly balanced budget with changes that fundamentally fix our broken system. We must remember that to keep budgets balanced in the future, our rate of economic growth must be higher than our rate of government spending growth. It’s just simple math.”

On several occasions, Rauner touched on reducing Illinois’ property tax burden, which one study puts as the highest of all 50 states. Another study places McHenry County’s average property tax burden at the 29th highest for all counties nationwide. One of the proposed reforms in the Senate budget package is a two-year statewide freeze.

New state Rep. Allen Skillicorn, R-East Dundee, said property tax reform is vital, as is consolidating the state’s many units of local government, which Rauner also touched on in his address. At just fewer than 7,000 units, Illinois has more governments than

any other state.

“If the governor provides bold leadership and legislators in Springfield focus on transformative policies that put taxpayers first, we can save our great state of Illinois,” Skillicorn said.

Rolling Meadows police investigating cold case in Joliet

By BOB OKON, BRIAN STANLEY and FELIX SARVER Shaw Media

Police searched a Joliet-area home for hours Wednesday looking for the remains of a Rolling Meadows man who disappeared 41 years ago.

The missing man was the college roommate of Russel Smrekar, a Joliet man who confessed to the killing while he was dying in prison while serving a sentence for two other murders.

Smrekar, however, did not tell police where Michael Mansfield’s body was.

Police were hoping to find him in a plain, gray ranch house at 1113 Barber Lane, an unincorporated area in the middle of Joliet’s West Side.

Mansfield’s body apparently was not found Wednesday. The crime scene remained active as of 9 p.m. Wednesday.

Beth Fox said she was surprised to see the amount of activity midday Wednesday as she drove past the Joliet-area home about two blocks from her own.

“I saw the yellow tape and all the cars on the street. I thought they were having an estate sale,” she said.

Fox said she drove back to take a closer look after noticing the police vehicles.

“There were guys in those white hazmat suits,” she said. “They had about three tents set up in the back.”

Detectives are examining the home for the possibility that evidence or the remains of Mansfield may be located there, according to a Rolling Meadows Police Department news release. Rolling Meadows police are working in conjunction with the Cook County Major Case Assistance Team, with the logistical assistance of the Will County Sheriff’s Office.

The news release stated that more details regarding the investigation would be released at a later date.

Smrekar confessed in 2011 that he had killed Mansfield, who was his college roommate.

Smrekar was serving a sentence of 200 to 600 years at the time for the murders of two people, who, like Mansfield, were going to testify against him.

The murders have been the subject of two books as well as many news reports.

Mansfield was on break when he disappeared from his Rolling Meadows home Dec. 31, 1975, and was never seen again. He was to testify six days later against Smrekar, who was accused of stealing a guitar and some records from a dorm room.

They were students at Lincoln College in Lincoln.

When Rolling Meadows detectives met with

Smrekar as he was suffering from a terminal illness, he confessed to the murders of both Mansfield and Ruth Martin, a witness in another case who had disappeared, according to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times.

At the time of his confession, Smrekar did not provide information about the location of Mansfield’s body.

Martin of Lincoln was involved in the case for which Smrekar was convicted.

She was to testify against Smrekar in a case involving the theft of two steaks from a grocery store in October 1975.

Smrekar was convicted of the murder of Jay and Robin Fry at their Lincoln home. They also were witnesses to the steak theft.

Will County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said Rolling Meadows police contacted Will County on Tuesday to inform them they’d be searching the property Wednesday for a cold case investigation.

The property at Barber Lane has a separate garage set behind the house. A wooded lot and a small creek are next door. Police had set up several tarps and a tent Wednesday afternoon between the two buildings.

Police vehicles from Will and Cook counties were at the scene. A large van marked Major Case Assistant Team also was parked at the home. Several unmarked cars were at the home as well.

Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil said he has not been notified of any bodies found at the location.

“Definitely, if there was a body found and it was in our county, we would have to be contacted,” O’Neil said.

Restaurants seeking ‘sanctuary’ status to protect workers

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The national debate over immigration policy could be coming to a diner near you.

From down-home delis to upscale bistros, dozens of restaurants nationwide are seeking “sanctuary” status, a designation owners hope will help protect employees in an immigrant-heavy industry and tone down fiery rhetoric sparked by the presidential campaign.

First inspired by churches, the label is something cities and other public entities have sought to offer local protections to immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, whether it’s barring police from asking citizens about immigration status or refusing to cooperate with federal agents.

About 80 restaurants in locations including New York; Minneapolis; Detroit; Boston; Oakland, California; and Ann Arbor, Michigan, are participating.

The restaurants agree to anti-discrimination policies, put up signs on windows that pronounce their sanctuary status and receive know-yourrights training, such as webinars on how to ask federal immigration agents for proper paperwork if there’s an attempted raid. Some also will offer a text

line for customers or employees to report any incidents of harassment.

At Russell Street Deli, customers walking in the front door of the racially diverse restaurant in Detroit see a sign that reads: “SANCTUARY RESTAURANT, a place at the table for everyone.”

“I have this one little place where I get to decide how people treat each other,” said owner Ben Hall, who is biracial and was moved to sign up after a few customers’ racially tinged comments. “If someone has the need to insult someone ... then they don’t get to

law and regulations, and a sanctuary designation will do nothing to prevent federal agents from arresting any workers in the country illegally.

But organizers of the sanctuary restaurants movement said it’s a response to the uncertainty surrounding how President Donald Trump will carry out campaign pledges to step up deportations and build a wall along the Mexican border, among other things. Trump signed executive orders Wednesday aimed at jump-starting construction of the wall and punishing cities that declare themselves sanctuaries for immigrants.

Organizers of the movement said the restaurant industry is more vulnerable than others, given its heavy reliance on immigrant labor.

Not all restaurant industry groups agree with the tactic.

The National Restaurant Association, which represents about 500,000 businesses, instead is pushing for an immigration overhaul, including an updated verification system that confirms employees’ eligibility to work in the country legally. Association Senior Vice President Steve Danon said the organization “is looking forward to working with the Trump administration” on ways to make verification “easier and more cost-efficient.”

About 12 million workers are in the restaurant industry, and immigrants make up the majority, including up to 70 percent in big cities such as New York and Chicago. An estimated 1.3 million in the industry are immigrants living in the country without legal permission, according to Restaurant Opportunities Centers United, which launched the campaign and works to improve industry conditions.

They pitched the program with an economic argument, saying restaurants need a “robust pool of workers.”

In a recent letter, they appealed to Trump as a businessman and urged him to “speak out to alleviate the fear of deportation and other harassment.”

“This is not about a restaurant harboring people in a closet. This is about creating a safe space,” said Saru Jayaraman, a co-founder of ROC United.

“Employers have a responsibility to protect their workers.”

In Chicago, the general manager at the rustic French restaurant Bistro Campagne said he applied to become a sanctuary restaurant because he wanted his employees to feel supported. Half of the employees at his neighborhood bistro are immigrants, including from Romania, Ecuador and Mexico.

“Restaurants are part of embracing other cultures,” Todd Feinberg said.

“We are all an immigrant culture. The idea that we might not accept that disturbs me a bit.”

At Brightwok Kitchen, an Asian-inspired build-a-bowl restaurant in downtown Chicago, owner Jeremy Klaben said he sought sanctuary status because he wants employees and customers to feel included. The restaurant draws a busy lunchtime crowd of college students, corporate employees and tourists.

Employee Iris Quijano, 22, said it’s an extension of how she and colleagues feel. The Chicago native who has family in Mexico was drawn to the restaurant after she graduated from college.

“In terms of all the negativity and the hatred we have in social media and in general ... it’ll be good to be known as a sanctuary restaurant,” she said.

“All our co-workers stand for the same things. It’s really important for others to feel the same vibes in the restaurant and have a good meal without having to worry about anything negative.”

This artists rendering details the exterior of Mercyhealth’s proposed plans to build a small microhospital and clinic on its land at the corner of Route 31 and Three Oaks Road in Crystal Lake. Route 31 is at the bottom, Three Oaks Road is on the left.

Picture provided

• MICROHOSPITAL

Continued from page A3 As part of the plan, Mercyhealth is asking the review board to allow for the redistribution of 13 licensed inpatient beds from Mercy Harvard Hospital to the new facility. The Harvard hospital currently has 18 licensed acute care beds, but because of the relocation of patient care services from

the hospital to outpatient facilities, 13 beds aren’t being used.

“With that redistribution, the services at Harvard will remain the same way they are today,” said Jennifer Hall, Mercyhealth vice president of government relations and community advocacy.

Hall said the project’s construction should cost about $82 million for the hospital and an additional $23 million for the clinic.

Mercyhealth twice has proposed a $115 million, 70-bed hospital in Crystal Lake, but the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board denied the proposal on two separate occasions in 2011 and 2012. The state ultimately said there wasn’t a need.

If the review board approves the new facility, Mercyhealth officials hope it opens around November 2020.

“Microhospitals is a trend we’re seeing throughout the country,” Hall

said. “We’re trying to bring a small, responsible hospital that can serve our patients properly.”

Mercyhealth officials said they’ve reached out to nearby competitors – Centegra Health System and Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital – to inform them about the plans. They said they hope to build partnerships with Centegra and Advocate because the microhospital could become a feeder to the other two systems.

“Everything I did was by the seat of the pants. I reacted to every written situation the way I would have in real life. My life is inextricably intertwined with Mary Richards’, and probably always will be.”

Mary Tyler Moore

on her role in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”

AP file photo

Mary Tyler Moore appears March 31, 1981, at the 53rd Academy Awards in Los Angeles. Moore, nominated for Best Actress for her film “Ordinary People,” lost out to Sissy Spacek for “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” Moore died Wednesday at age 80. dent, 1970s career woman. Other than Marlo Thomas’ 1960s sitcom character “That Girl,” who at least had a steady boyfriend, there were few precedents.

Thomas on Wednesday called Moore a gifted actress and a wonderful comedian. “I’m proud that we were in that groundbreaking sorority that brought single independent women to television,” Thomas said in a statement.

Mary Richards was comfortable being single in her 30s, and while she dated, she wasn’t desperate to get married. She sparred affectionately with her gruff boss, Lou Grant, played by Ed Asner, and addressed him always as “Mr. Grant.” And millions agreed with the show’s theme song that she could “turn the world on with her smile.”

Asner paid tribute to his co-star, saying on Twitter: “A great lady I loved and owe so much has left us. I will miss her.

I will never be able to repay her for the blessings that she gave me.”

The show was filled with laughs. But no episode was more memorable than the bittersweet finale, when new man-

agement fired the entire WJM News staff – everyone but the preening, clueless anchorman, Ted Baxter. Thus did the series dare to question whether Mary Richards actually did “make it after all.”

The series ran seven seasons and won 29 Emmys, a record that stood for a quarter century until “Frasier” broke it in 2002.

“Everything I did was by the seat of the pants. I reacted to every written situation the way I would have in real life,” Moore told The Associated Press in 1995. “My life is inextricably intertwined with Mary Richards’, and probably always will be.”

“The Mary Tyler Moore Show” spawned the spin-offs “Rhoda,” (197478), starring Valerie Harper; “Phyllis” (1975-77), starring Cloris Leachman; and “Lou Grant” (1977-82), starring Asner in a rare drama spun off from a comedy.

“Mary Tyler Moore” was the first in a series of acclaimed, award-winning shows she produced with her second husband, Grant Tinker, who died in No-

vember 2016, through their MTM Enterprises. (The meowing kitten at the end of the shows was a parody of the MGM lion.) “The Bob Newhart Show,” “Hill Street Blues,” “St. Elsewhere” and “WKRP in Cincinnati” are among the MTM series that followed.

Moore won her seventh Emmy in 1993, for supporting actress in a miniseries or special, for a Lifetime network movie, “Stolen Babies.” She had won two for “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and the other four for “Mary Tyler Moore.”

In 2012, Moore received the Screen Actors Guild’s lifetime achievement award.

On the big screen, Moore’s appearances were less frequent. She was a 1920s flapper in the hit 1967 musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and a nun who falls for Elvis Presley in “Change of Habit” in 1969.

She turned to serious drama in 1980’s “Ordinary People,” playing an affluent, bitter mother who loses a son in an accident. The film won the Oscar for best picture and best director for Robert Redford, and it earned Moore an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe.

In real life, Moore also endured personal tragedy. The same year “Ordinary People” came out, her only child, Richard, who’d had trouble in school and with drugs, accidentally shot himself at age 24. Her younger sister, Elizabeth, died at 21 from a combination of a painkillers and alcohol.

In her 1995 autobiography, “After All,” Moore admitted she helped her terminally ill brother try to commit suicide by feeding him ice cream laced with a deadly overdose of drugs. The attempt failed, and her 47-year-old brother, John, died three months later in 1992 of kidney cancer.

Moore herself lived with Type 1 diabetes for about 40 years and told of her struggle in her 2009 book, “Growing Up Again.” She also spent five weeks at the Betty Ford Clinic in 1984 for alcohol abuse.

She served as chairwoman of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International, supported embryonic stem cell research and was active in animal rights causes.

NEW YORK – Mary Tyler Moore, the star of TV’s beloved “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” whose comic realism helped revolutionize the depiction of women on the small screen, died Wednesday. She was 80.

Moore gained fame in the 1960s as the frazzled wife, Laura Petrie, on “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” In the 1970s, she created one of TV’s first career-woman sitcom heroines in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

“She was an impressive person and a talented person and a beautiful person.

A force of nature,” producer, creator and director Carl Reiner, who created the “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” told The Associated Press. “She’ll last forever, as long as there’s television. Year after year, we’ll see her face in front of us.”

Moore won seven Emmy awards over the years and was nominated for an Oscar for her 1980 portrayal of an affluent mother whose son is accidentally killed in “Ordinary People.”

Tributes came pouring in. “Mary’s energy, spirit and talent created a new bright spot in the television landscape and she will be very much missed,” Robert Redford, director of “Ordinary People,” said in a statement. Ellen DeGeneres took to Twitter to say: “Mary Tyler Moore changed the world for all women.”

Moore’s first major TV role was on the classic sitcom “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” in which she played the young homemaker wife of Van Dyke’s character, comedy writer Rob Petrie, from 1961 to 1966.

With her unerring gift for comedy, Moore seemed perfectly fashioned to the smarter wit of the new, post-Eisenhower age. As Laura, she traded in the housedress of countless sitcom wives for capri pants that were as fashionable as they were suited to a modern American woman.

Laura was a dream wife and mother, but not perfect. Viewers identified with her flustered moments and her protracted, plaintive cry to her husband: “Ohhhh, Robbbb!”

Moore’s chemistry with Van Dyke was unmistakable. Decades later, he spoke warmly of the chaste but palpable off-screen crush they shared during the show’s run.

They also appeared together in several TV specials over the years and in 2003, co-starred in a PBS production of the play “The Gin Game.”

But it was as Mary Richards, the plucky Minneapolis TV news producer on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” (197077), that Moore truly made her mark.

At a time when women’s liberation was catching on worldwide, her character brought to TV audiences an indepen-

Illinois Senate skips planned budget vote

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois senators, still grappling with the sticker shock of a tax increase and other far-reaching restructuring to end the nation’s longest state budget deadlock, skipped a much-anticipated vote on the massive package and adjourned early Wednesday evening.

Senate President John Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, and Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno of Lemont, had set up Wednesday as decision day on their bipartisan plan to end the longest budget drought of any state since World War II. That plan includes new taxes to drive down a multibillion-dollar deficit while attempting to address Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s demands for changes to ease the cost of business and crimp the influence of unions and politicians.

The Senate vote was to cap a big day at the Capitol. The Republican governor lauded the Senate’s cooperation earlier Wednesday during his annual State of the State address to a joint session of the General Assembly.

“Please don’t give up. Please keep working. The people of Illinois need you to succeed,” Rauner said.

But after Democrats and Republicans met for more than three hours in private caucus meetings, lawmakers abruptly

Emanuel OK with help, warns against deploying troops

CHICAGO – A day after President Donald Trump declared he was ready to “send in the Feds” if Chicago can’t reduce its homicides, Mayor Rahm Emanuel warned against deploying the National Guard, saying it would hurt efforts to restore trust in the police.

Trump offered no details on what kind of federal intervention he was suggesting or if it could involve troops, but the mayor cautioned that using the military could make matters worse.

“We’re going through a process of reinvigorating community policing, building trust between the community and law enforcement,” the mayor told reporters Wednesday. Sending troops “is antitheti-

He would not venture a statement on whether there would be a vote on the Senate’s final scheduled session day in January. Radogno promised swift action on the plan, certainly by month’s end.

The stalemate began shortly after

Rauner took office in 2015. He won’t talk about how to tackle a multibillion-dollar deficit until Democrats consider business- and political-climate changes he said will boost the economy and restore voter confidence. Democrats have said the state should raise taxes and cut spending to get the deficit under control before addressing “nonbudget” issues.

The Senate plan, notably, would in-

cal to the spirit of community policing.”

He said he welcomed federal help battling “gangs, guns and drugs.”

On Tuesday night, Trump tweeted: “If Chicago doesn’t fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!”

If the president was suggesting the use of federal troops, such a plan could face practical and constitutional obstacles.

A law dating back to 1878 prohibits the deployment of federal troops to do the jobs of domestic police, with some rarely invoked exceptions.

Chicago Tribune reported.

The decision came a day after local residents protested the hog confinement at a meeting last week. Some residents fear that waste from the facility could pollute rivers and creeks.

Nearly half of the 1 million fish killed in Illinois water pollution incidents from 2005 to 2014 were because of waste spills from hog confinements, the newspaper reported.

Group withdraws Guzman’s Public Enemy No. 1 title

CHICAGO – An anti-crime group in Chicago is stripping alleged drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman of his title as the city’s Public Enemy No. 1 after his extradition to the U.S. The only other person the Chicago Crime Commission ever deemed worthy of that label was Prohibition-era gangster Al Capone. The nongovernment commission withdraws the moniker from Guzman as of Wednesday.

It named him Public Enemy No. 1 in

crease the personal income tax 33 percent, from 3.75 percent to 4.99 percent.

It would create a 5 percent excise tax on some services such as car repair and laundry.

But it also includes legislation to answer Rauner’s concerns. They include a two-year freeze on local property taxes, cost-cutting restrictions on payouts for workers’ compensation claims, streamlined state purchasing and an avenue for voters to eliminate unnecessary local governments.

In a Democratic response to the governor’s speech, House Deputy Majority Leader Lou Lang, a Skokie Democrat, laid the financial suffering squarely at Rauner’s feet.

“There are people across our state, including our most fragile citizens, whose lives are forever impacted because of the lack of a budget,” Lang said. “If we have a repeat of the past two years there will be more people permanently harmed all across Illinois. We can all agree this should not be allowed to happen.”

He said House Democrats would push an economic plan that cuts corporate income taxes while insuring all businesses pay some taxes, raising the minimum wage and ensuring other protections for middle-class families, and reviving House Speaker Michael Madigan’s idea of a surcharge tax on incomes more than $1 million.

Guzman has been indicted federally in Chicago. But authorities sent him to face similar trafficking charges in New York.

He pleaded not guilty plea Friday and is jailed.

Trump moves to ‘build that wall’ with Mexico

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump moved aggressively to tighten the nation’s immigration controls Wednesday, signing executive actions to jumpstart construction of his promised U.S.-Mexico border wall and cut federal grants for immigrant-protecting “sanctuary cities.” As early as Thursday, he is expected to pause the flow of all refugees to the U.S. and indefinitely bar those fleeing war-torn Syria.

“Beginning today the United States of America gets back control of its borders,” Trump declared during a visit to the Department of Homeland Security. “We are going to save lives on both sides of the border.”

The actions, less than a week into Trump’s presidency, fulfilled pledges that animated his candidacy and represented a dramatic redirection of U.S. immigration policy. They were cheered by Republicans allies in Congress, condemned by immigration advocates and the trigger for immediate new tension with the Mexican government.

“I regret and reject the decision of the U.S. to build the wall,” Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said Wednesday in a nationally televised address.

Trump is expected to wield his executive power again later this week with the directive to dam the refugee flow into the U.S. for at least four months, in addition to the open-ended pause on Syrian arrivals.

The president’s upcoming order is also expected to suspend issuing visas for people from several predominantly Muslim countries – Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen – for at least 30 days, according to a draft executive order obtained by The Associated Press.

President Donald Trump moved aggressively to tighten the nation’s immigration controls, signing executive actions to jump-start construction of his promised U.S.-Mexico border wall and cut federal grants for immigrant-protecting “sanctuary cities.” immigration plans at a time when detentions at the nation’s southern border are down significantly from levels seen in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The arrest tally last year was the fifth-lowest since 1972.

Deportations of people living in the U.S. illegally also increased under President Barack Obama, although Republicans criticized him for setting prosecution guidelines that spared some groups from the threat of deportation, including those brought to the U.S. illegally as children.

As a candidate, Trump tapped into the immigration concerns of some Americans who worry both about a loss of economic opportunities and the threat of criminals and terrorists entering the country.

His call for a border wall was among his most popular proposals with supporters, who often broke out in chants of “build that wall” during rallies.

Immigration advocates and others assailed the new president’s actions. Omar Jadwat, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, said the president’s desire to construct a border wall was “driven by

racial and ethnic bias that disgraces America’s proud tradition of protecting vulnerable migrants.”

How Trump plans to pay for the wall project is murky.

While he has repeatedly promised that Mexico will foot the bill, U.S. taxpayers are expected to cover the initial costs and the new administration has said nothing about how it might compel Mexico to reimburse the money.

In an interview with ABC News earlier Wednesday, Trump said, “There will be a payment; it will be in a form, perhaps a complicated form.”

Nieto, who has insisted his country will not pay for a wall, has been expected to meet with Trump at the White House next week, although a senior official said Trump’s announcement had led him to reconsider the visit.

Congressional aides say there is about $100 million of unspent appropriations in the Department of Homeland Security account for border security, fencing and infrastructure.

That would allow planning efforts to get started, but far more money would have to be appropriated for construction to begin.

Civil servants troll Trump, leak information Actions respond to hiring freeze, media blackout

By LISA LERER and JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Across the government, an unprecedented digital insurrection is taking shape.

President Donald Trump spent much of his campaign bashing the federal government, a system he described as awash in “waste, fraud and abuse.”

Now, the bureaucracy is biting back.

In response to Trump’s hiring freeze for federal agencies and a communications blackout, some official social media accounts have tweeted out messages decidedly at odds with his agenda, and leaks are flowing into newsrooms from across the federal government.

Some agencies have been notably subversive in their messages, posting quotes and commentary that could be seen as trying to bait their new boss into a confrontation.

The Defense Department used Twitter on Wednesday to publicize an article about an Iraqi refugee who became

a U.S. Marine.

“From refugee to #Marine. @USMC Cpl Ali J. Mohammed takes the fight to the doorstep of those who cast his family out,” the department wrote of his fight in Iraq.

Perhaps not coincidentally, Trump’s aides said a few hours earlier that the president is working out the details of plans to restrict refugees coming into the country.

Former Cabinet officials said the president would be wise not to underestimate the power of the civil service, which not only has the ability to slow the progress of new regulations but also the inside knowledge to sound alarms when needed.

Roughly 4,000 of more than 2 million federal government jobs can be filled by presidential appointment, meaning that career employees far outnumber the high-profile advisers, agency directors, special assistants, ambassadors and Cabinet officials selected by Trump and his team.

“Trump’s statements have poisoned the well to a degree,” said Christine Todd Whitman, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency under President George W. Bush. “If the career staff doesn’t believe you, if they don’t trust you, then things can get

very cumbersome.”

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Wednesday that certain government agencies are taking action to address an “inappropriate” use of social media.

But despite broad orders not to engage with the public or media without permission, it’s going to be tricky for the White House to plug all the possible leaks or to stop public outbursts from angry or concerned government workers.

Even before he took office, employees at the Energy Department shared information about a Trump transition team request for the names of department staffers who’d worked on President Barack Obama’s climate-change initiatives. The ensuing backlash prompted transition officials to disavow the questionnaire as a mistake.

On Wednesday, The Associated Press obtained a draft of an executive order showing that Trump is considering a major review of America’s methods for interrogating terror suspects and the possible reopening of CIA-run “black site” prisons outside the United States. The same order would reverse the planned closure of the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

experience and led a family-owned company, may not fully understand what, exactly, he’s facing. His Cabinet, stocked largely with former business executives and members of Congress, has a more limited knowledge of the intricacies of the federal government, said Kathleen Sebelius, a secretary of Health and Human Services in the Obama administration.

“A CEO of a private company doesn’t answer to shareholders or a board,” said Sebelius. “If you say jump, somebody jumps. That, thank God, is not the way government operates.”

Further limiting Trump’s control of the federal bureaucracy has been the slow pace at which his own people are taking over.

Trump has filled only 31 of the 690 key political positions requiring Senate confirmation, according to the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service, which is tracking executive branch nominations. Only four of his appointees have been confirmed by Congress.

“Right now, I’d say it’s advantage government because you’re up against people who don’t know how the game is played,” said Paul Light, a public service professor at New York University.

Trump on Tuesday signed an executive action ordering the Army Corps of Engineers to quickly reconsider its Dec. 4 decision to stop the construction to allow time for more environmental

study. Before the project can be finished, builders need permission to lay pipe under Lake Oahe, a Missouri River reservoir from which an American Indian tribe draws its drinking water.

• Thursday, January 26, 2017

CANNON BALL, N.D. – Most of the demonstrators who gathered on the North Dakota plains to oppose the Dakota Access oil pipeline declared victory and departed their snowy protest camp last month after the Army announced it would halt the project.

Now that President Donald Trump’s administration is pushing to complete the pipeline, the few hundred protesters still living on the wind-whipped prairie must decide what to do – accept the likely defeat and leave, or stay and keep fighting.

Some vow to remain, but Trump’s action seems unlikely to spark a major rejuvenation of the depleted camp of people who dubbed themselves “water protectors.”

Dan Hein, a 43-year-old Ohio man who has been living at the camp since September, was packing Tuesday to go home.

“I knew this was coming,” he said.

But Gena Neal, 43, who came from Oklahoma, said she was staying, even if protests remain subdued.

“We are proving action by just being here,” she said Wednesday as snow

tural sites. Developer Energy Transfer Partners disputes that.

The Oahe segment is the last major piece of the four-state pipeline designed to move North Dakota oil to a shipping point in Illinois. It was not clear when the Corps will act on Trump’s memorandum.

Local law enforcement agencies geared up for a possible resumption of protests after Trump’s action, but no major incidents materialized, the Morton County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.

There have been more than 625 arrests in the region since mid-August.

Clashes and arrests tailed off dramatically in recent weeks after the tribal council told the protest camp to disband because of the Dec. 4 decision, the harsh winter weather and the need to get the area cleaned up before spring flooding.

At the camp’s peak, several thousand people were packed into a halfmile square, living in teepees, tents, buses, motor homes and semipermanent wooden structures. One occupant set up a portable radio station. Others established a school for children in a large tent.

Now, fewer than 300 people remain on the federal land along the confluence of the Cannon Ball and Missouri rivers.

OUR VIEW

Message for County Board

McHenry County residents pay way too much in property taxes.

We’ve written the above line – or some variation of it – at least a hundred times over the past several years.

Property taxes here are 29th highest by county in the nation, according to one study.

And according to a 2015 analysis by the Chicago Tribune, McHenry County residents pay by far the highest median effective property tax rates – 4.02 percent of their homes’ value, annually – of any of the collar counties, Chicago and Cook included. By comparison, Chicago residents pay a median 2.1 percent. DuPage County: 2.75 percent. Lake County: 3.3 percent.

Out-of-control property taxes are a major reason why McHenry County has been losing population since 2010.

Democrat Jack Franks, the county’s first popularly elected McHenry County Board chairman, ran for office last year largely on the platform of reducing county residents’ property tax burden. He did so in a Republican-dominated county against a Republican opponent and he won convincingly, carrying 57.5 percent of the vote.

Many Republican County Board members ran on a similar platform of reducing property taxes.

That makes last week’s County Board vote all the more perplexing.

Franks asked the Republican-dominated board to place an advisory referendum on the April 4 ballot.

The referendum, similar to ones already approved in Lakewood, Fox River Grove, and Lake in the Hills, asks voters whether local taxing bodies should require their permission to raise taxes by any amount.

But by a 17-7 vote, the County Board instead removed it from the agenda, citing “procedural” concerns. It’s now too late to get the item on the April ballot.

Unfortunately, the vote was more about politics than good governance. It was more about Republicans blocking Democrat Franks than doing what is right for their constituents.

Yes, it’s an advisory referendum, meaning it’s nonbinding. Nothing directly happens if the referendum passes or fails. But it could send a message: To local school boards and other taxing bodies that consistently raise their tax levies each year despite the huge burden on homeowners and local businesses. To lawmakers in Springfield who are considering property tax freeze legislation in addition to enormous tax increases in other areas.

Our message to the County Board: Stop playing politics and do what voters elected you to do in the first place: work in their best interests.

Keep gun silencers from shooters Bills could thwart Chicago’s anti-violence efforts Just as Chicago is moving ahead with new technology that could help reduce gunfire deaths, Congress and the Illinois Senate are considering misguided bills that could shoot Chicago’s effort to pieces by making gun silencers easily available.

Chicago’s new technology, called ShotSpotter, alerts police as soon as bullets start flying, instead of making them wait for a phone call. Officers can respond more quickly — sometimes within seconds. By arriving faster, detectives are more likely to find witnesses, and crime scene personnel have a better chance of scooping up evidence, such as shell casings. Victims can get medical care faster. Recently, Chicago’s Public Building Commission voted to spend $938,500 to expand ShotSpotter in the Englewood and Harrison police

districts, which are home to most of the city’s gun violence.

But ShotSpotter is ineffective if shooters use gun silencers, devices that muffle the sound of gunfire when they are attached to a gun’s barrel. Silencers also further imperil innocent people at a shooting scene because they can’t hear the crack of the gun that tells them to get out of the way. The Violence Policy Center in Washington says silencers “could help enable mass shooters and other murderers to kill a greater number of victims more efficiently.” A proliferation of silencers would mean more dead innocent people.

But that hasn’t stopped two U.S. House Republicans from introducing a bill this month to eliminate federal restrictions on silencers. Nor has it prevented the introduction of a bill in the

Illinois Senate that would lift the state’s ban on silencers.

Defenders of easily obtainable silencers, including Donald Trump Jr., say the devices protect the hearing of hunters, who apparently can’t be bothered to wear hearing protection or obtain federal silencer permits, which involve submitting fingerprints and a photo, paying a $200 tax, a background check and a wait of several months. But the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says there is no public health evidence that gunfire is causing hearing loss.

Because Congress is friendly to the gun lobby, the federal restrictions might be eased. It is all the more important, then, to maintain Illinois’ own ban on silencers.

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

Support law enforcement

To the Editor: Last fall, I was fortunate to participate in the Citizens Police Academy with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, operated under Sheriff Bill Prim. A marvelous free and participatory program designed to inform and educate citizens of complexities and responsibilities involved in the operations of the Sheriff’s Office.

With the leadership of Deputy Tim Creighton and Deputy Aimee Knop, concerned citizens were introduced and given insight into activities of the Sheriff’s Office. All received instruction about operations of the department, dedicated efforts in community support, remarkable depth of investigations criminal and traffic, security of the Corrections facility and much more.

Law enforcement activities are to maintain order and protect the lives and property of citizens. Citizens of course being of the U.S. This program is in depth and makes one aware of the high degree of skill needed by our law enforcement community. All enrolled gained a deeper appreciation of the intensity officers are under when having to make spot decisions, at times with minimal information.

All applied with long hours of education and training.

The professionalism of the Sheriff’s Office is reflected by numerous accred-

itations achieved. More, it is reflected in the dedicated efforts of all in the department overseeing the safety of our community, from daily activity to emergency management.

Many communities have similar programs. These programs are designed to inform and educate. I recommend that all concerned citizens participate in these programs when available. Participation brings a great realization of why we should support our law enforcement community.

Can’t ‘get over it’

To the Editor: This is in response to the supporters of Donald Trump who are telling those of us who did not vote for him to “get over it”.

Most of us did not vote for him because he demonstrated through his campaign that he is a bullying liar, racist and womanizer who does not appear to possess an intelligent grasp of international events or how to solve most of our own national problems. He promised his voters all kinds of things without ever saying how he would accomplish them.

He still has not revealed his taxes.

We can’t “get over it” because this man has chosen billionaire supporters for key government positions of which they have no expertise, and he continues to tweet bullying lies and rants about anyone who criticizes him.

His ego is so great that he does not show the grace and humility to accept criticism as other politicians and presidents have. His practice of ridiculous tweets have become an embarrassment for all of us and made us a laughingstock to the rest of the world. If this continues for four more years, we will never “get over it.”

Wasted votes

They obviously do not understand that these measures were put in there only because there was going to be an increase in coverage through the mar-

Village treasures are surviving

To the Editor: Seventeen years ago, a 7-year-old Crystal Lake boy tried to “save the turtles.” He learned Walgreens planned to build a store on the corner of Huntley and Lakewood roads, adjoining Exner Marsh, which supports the largest Illinois population of endangered Blanding turtles.

He took his class and Cub Scout Pack with their parents to visit. The parents wrote to Walgreens, the village president, and to the contractor. As site steward at the Village Nature Preserve, I alerted the Department of Natural Resources. IDNR sent members of the Nature Preserves Commission to address the Village Board. Heavy fines could be imposed for killing endangered species; they could be avoided by following an IDNR approved plan.

This included: A perimeter fence, the bottom buried to stop turtles crawling under, yellow anti-bug lighting so the endangered yellow-headed blackbird food source would not be impacted, two storm water management ponds, one a retention pond having water and vegetation in it providing micro-organisms mitigating parking lot pollution. Land would be donated to the Conservation

District and six man-made nesting sites constructed by the contractor. The plan applied to any future development.

Walgreens elected to build elsewhere.

Last weekend, Henry, now 24, helped at a local restoration workday. He saw the “Turtle Crossing” signs and a CVS Pharmacy now on that corner with the plan requirements being followed. MCCD say the nesting sites have been used!

Thanks to Henry, village treasures are surviving.

Move proposed marijuana dispensary

To the Editor: I read in Sunday’s Northwest Herald (Jan. 15) about a “medical marijuana dispensary” under consideration for Main Street Algonquin. I think this is a little misleading. While, yes, the side is on Main Street, but it’s not in downtown Algonquin. It is near a subdivision of about 60 homes, a, nice quiet area.

I’m reading this facility could “service a large proportion of population from Lake and Kane counties.” It also states it has a “high visibility for regular police monitoring.” Does this mean heavy traffic and crime?

There are plenty of empty buildings that would be more suitable, etc: • Eastside Butera; • Empty Dominicks (westside); • Empty medical buildings (westside); • Empty JoAnn Fabrics (westside); • Empty buildings by Best Buy (westside).

These facilities would be more accessible, plus plenty of parking and very visible.

Would having this dispensary so near our homes lower our property value?

Algonquin needs to re-think where this dispensary should go and the Northwest Herald should continue to investigate.

To the Editor: Abraham Lincoln once said, “I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.”

I am proud of living in Marengo as well as the state of Illinois and am truly blessed to have been born in America. But the high taxes are driving people to leave.

If they don’t cut some taxes more, businesses will leave. That should be a deep concern to us all.

The burdens of these taxes are weighing too much and the lack of concern by Democrats doesn’t help.

If their lack of concern for citizens and their concern for special interests continues, I too shall depart from the land I am proud of.

Illinois is much more than about taxes.

It’s about the spirit of Lincoln and her citizens doing their duty in preserving this home were proud of.

My hope is we can. God bless this land of Lincoln Illinois and all of America.

Dow breaks through 20,000 milestone

By ALEX VEIGA

The Associated Press The Dow Jones industrial average crossed the 20,000 mark for the first time Wednesday, the latest milestone in a record-setting drive for the stock market.

Strong earnings from Boeing and other big companies helped push the Dow past the threshold early on. U.S. stocks closed solidly higher, lifting the Standard & Poor’s 500 index and Nasdaq composite to record highs of their own for the second day in a row.

Banks and other financial companies led the gainers, which included technology and industrials. Real estate, phone companies and other high-dividend stocks lagged the broader market as bond yields rose.

“It’s a psychological event to get through that big hurdle, that big round number,” said Jeff Kravetz, regional investment strategist at U.S. Bank’s Private Client Reserve. “It’s really symbolic of what’s going on with investor sentiment becoming much more positive, and that’s going to drive stock prices higher.”

The Dow, which tracks 30 major industrial companies, gained 155.80 points, or 0.8 percent, to 20,068.51. The S&P 500 index rose 18.30 points, or 0.8 percent, to 2,298.37. The Nasdaq added 55.38 points, or 1 percent, to 5,656.34.

Small-company stocks also rose. The Russell 2000 picked up 13.23 points, or 1 percent, to 1,382.44.

The market has been marching

AP photo

Trader Gregory Rowe wears a Dow 20,000 cap as he works Wednesday on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. The Dow Jones industrial average is trading over 20,000 points for the first time. steadily higher since bottoming out in March 2009 in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The rally continued after the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president last fall. The Dow first closed above 10,000 on March 29, 1999.

Wednesday’s rally came against a backdrop of optimism on Wall Street that executive actions and policy goals announced by the Trump administration this week on trade, manufacturing and business deregulation will be good for corporate America.

“Whether it’s tax reform or infra-

structure spending, any of those tend to be optimistic conversations for the markets currently,” said Darrell Cronk, president of Wells Fargo Investment Institute. “We have to wait and see how they play out, obviously. The danger here, if there is one, is that the market gets ahead of itself a little bit.”

Most professional investors are skeptical the Dow at 20,000 will have much effect on the market. They more often look to the S&P 500 index as a benchmark, because they consider it better representation of the broad market.

“In and of itself, it is just a number,” said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial. “But what it does is it lifts market expectations, in essence, to continue moving higher.”

If the Dow reaching 20,000 has any effect, it likely will be a psychological one.

Investors have been leery of the stock market for years, unable to stomach the prospect of losing more than 50 percent of their money for a second time if another financial crisis hits.

That trepidation has caused them to pull money out of stock funds – even as the Dow made its march toward 20,000 – and depend instead on safer bond investments.

Last year, investors pulled a net $27.1 billion out of U.S. stock mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, according to Morningstar. A year earlier, they yanked $66.5 billion. Over the same time, investors plugged a total of $218.6 billion into taxable bond funds.

Anyone who resisted the urge to dump their stock investments through all the tumult of the last decade now is seeing the full benefit of a market with the Dow at 20,000.

A $10,000 investment in the largest U.S. stock mutual fund made a decade ago, before the Great Recession began, would have dropped below $5,000 by March 2009. But investors who held on even through the worries of another recession hitting, U.S. debt downgrade, the euro crisis and uncertainties over Britain’s departure from the European Union now would be sitting on nearly $20,000.

Then-CBS Sportscaster Brent Musburger plays with a snowball Jan. 20, 1982, outside the Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich. Musburger is calling an end to his broadcast career. He will call his last game for ESPN on Tuesday.

Brent Musburger is retiring from sportscasting at age 77 NEW YORK – Brent Musburger is calling it a career at ESPN after being the play-by-play man in the booth at sporting events enjoyed by millions of Americans, most prominently when he was the lead voice for CBS Sports in the 1980s.

Musburger, 77, said he’s leaving active sportscasting to help his family get a sports handicapping business started and to use some of the millions of airline miles he’s earned for some fun travel.

His last game will be the Kentucky-Georgia men’s basketball game Tuesday. That takes him back to Rupp Arena, where he called Villanova’s historic NCAA championship upset over Georgetown in 1985.

Both Musburger and ESPN said comments about Oklahoma football player Joe Mixon that were criticized as insensitive during the Sugar Bowl earlier this month had nothing to do with his exit. Musburger said he hoped Mixon, who had been suspended for a year after punching a woman and breaking her jaw, would make the most of his second chance and did not initially talk about his victim.

A former sportswriter, Musburger’s broadcast fame took off through his work on “NFL Today,” the pro football pregame show. He broadcast the NBA, college basketball, the Masters and tennis – most of CBS’ marquee events.

He was behind the mic for one of college football’s most memorable plays, Doug Flutie’s “Hail Mary” pass that beat Miami for Boston College in 1984.

He confessed to Flutie later that it took him awhile to identify Gerard Phelan, Flutie’s roommate, as the receiver for that pass – and Flutie told him he didn’t know, either, until he had run off the field.

LILONGWE, Malawi – Pop star Madonna on Wednesday denied a report that she filed for the adoption of two more children from Malawi.

Madonna said she was in Malawi for charity work, contradicting Mlenga Mvula, a judiciary spokesman in the southern African country who said the singer appeared before a High Court judge about the adoption issue Wednesday.

“I am in Malawi to check on the children’s hospital in Blantyre and my other work with Raising Malawi, and then heading home,” Madonna said in a statement. “The rumors of an adoption process are untrue.”

Gay parts with publisher over book deal with pundit

NEW YORK – Angered with her publisher for giving a platform to the “blunt, inelegant hate” of far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, author Roxane Gay has withdrawn a planned book with Simon & Schuster.

Gay confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday that she will not be releasing “How to Be Heard” through Simon & Schuster, which had scheduled the book for 2018.

In comments provided to BuzzFeed News, Gay said Yiannopoulos, whose book “Dangerous” comes out in March, had every right to express his views. But she said a deal with a major publisher is not a right, but a privilege. Gay decided she did not want to be in “business with a publisher willing to grant him that privilege.”

Bruno Mars will perform at the Grammys next month

30 ‘Baby blues’ common after childbirth Dear Doctors: It’s been two weeks since our son was born, and my wife seems to be having a hard time. She cries easily and has a lot of anxiety. Is this just baby blues, like my mother says, or is it postpartum depression?

Dear Reader: Your lives have undergone an enormous change, and that’s at the heart of your wife’s difficulties. Both in the shortterm disruption of the so-called “baby blues” and the more serious struggle of postpartum depression, the physical, emotional and hormonal changes a woman goes through after she gives birth often can pose challenges.

First, let us reassure you at two weeks postpartum, it’s perfectly natural for a new mother to feel overwhelmed. Up to 80 percent of new mothers report symptoms of mood swings, anxiety, mild depression, weepiness and negative thoughts or feelings in the first few weeks after the baby arrives.

Your wife’s body not only is recovering from the physical and emotional rigors of the birth process, but it also is now returning to its pre-pregnancy state. That means she is experiencing a sudden drop in hormone levels – estrogen and progesterone in particular – which have been at record levels during her pregnancy. Add in sleep deprivation and the seismic changes to her daily routine as she learns new tasks and takes responsibility for a new life, and it’s not surprising she feels overwhelmed.

When these symptoms don’t go away after several weeks, or if they become more severe, then postpartum depression becomes a possibility. When this is the case, seeing a primary care physician is vital.

Symptoms of postpartum depression mirror those of major depression. These include a sad or empty feeling that won’t go away, feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness, pervasive pessimism, a change in sleeping or eating habits, withdrawal from loved ones

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier and often a lack of connection to or interest in the new baby. Between 11 and 18 percent of new mothers experience postpartum depression. Fortunately, most women who seek treatment for postpartum depression will recover.

Meanwhile, there’s a lot you can do to help your wife right now. Simply listening is important. Get her to talk about how she’s feeling and what she’s going through so she knows you care and understand. It’s quite likely you both have some of the same feelings, and sharing them can help build up your bond.

Help around the house without being asked. Make a meal, do housework, arrange for her to have some time to herself. Something as simple as getting outside can make a big difference. A daily walk will be good for both of you. Even a drive through the neighborhood just to look around can bring welcome distraction.

The baby blues are an isolating experience that comes at a time of life when women are told they should be happiest. By stepping up to lend a hand, you’re not only helping your wife recover, you’re also setting the foundation to a parenting partnership.

• Eve Glazier, M.D., M.B.A., 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.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY am a successful business proJeanne fessional in my Phillips mid-50s. I have put my children through college, and they have no student loans.

(My wife did not help with any of the college expenses. It was all on me.)

I finally am at a point in my life I can pursue my passion of buying a sports car. I always have been a car guy, and my wife knows it. When I bring up the subject of buying the car of my dreams, which is not very expensive, she tells me I will look like an idiot. In her next breath she says it’s OK if I buy a sports car if it is the one she wants, and of course, the one she wants is very expensive.

No matter how I broach the subject, she does not “get” it is not about her but about my passion as a car guy. How do I get her to see my side? – Revving Up In New York Dear Revving Up: If it’s your money paying for the car, you don’t have to get her to see your side. It will be yours – not hers – and you should buy the one that gives you pleasure and drive it to your heart’s content.

Dear Abby: I have been with “Roger” for 28 years. He basically is a good, honest man, but he thinks only of himself. When I had heart surgery, he left me alone at the hospital that night, not knowing if I would live or die. (Nothing would have kept me from his bedside.) I’ll be having knee surgery soon, and he won’t take the day off or a sick day to take me. He wants a friend of ours to do it.

These are just two samples of his lack of support for me. I guess there is no way to make someone care enough about you to put their conveniences aside. When we moved out of state, he said if he didn’t find a job, he was going back home. Where would that have left me?

Roger wouldn’t have anything at all if it weren’t for me. I know I should dump him, but after 28 years, I can’t pull the rug out from under him. He cops an attitude and makes me feel bad if I press the subject. I only wish he would do something for me from his heart, but I guess it isn’t there. Any advice, Abby? – His

Bolt loses 2008 Olympic relay gold GENEVA (AP) – Usain Bolt has lost one of his nine Olympic gold medals because of a doping case involving Jamaican teammate Nesta Carter. The IOC said Wednesday that Carter tested positive for methylhexaneamine, a banned stimulant, in re-analysis of samples from the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Olympic rules state that the entire relay team can be disqualified and stripped of medals if one runner fails a doping test.

akantecki@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Dundee-Crown junior Anna Kieltyka spent ninth-hour study hall practicing her shot in the school gym before her team’s Fox Valley Conference girls basketball game against Prairie Ridge on Wednesday.

Kieltyka’s extra shooting and preparation paid off, as the junior guard made her first three shots for the Chargers in a 38-32 FVC victory over Prairie Ridge, leading D-C to its fourth straight win.

“I hit one and I was like, ‘I can keep hitting them tonight,’ ” said Kieltyka, who tied for the team lead with nine points and made both of her 3-point attempts.

“I went in early during my ninth hour, and was shooting with coach (Sarah) Miller, so that built some confidence before the game. I hit the first [3-pointer], and I was feeling the second one.”

Kieltyka, whose second 3 came right before halftime, added two assists and a block for D-C, which has won five out of six to improve to 13-11 overall and 7-5 in the FVC. The Chargers started 2-4 in the FVC, but have jumped back into the conference race with their latest hot stretch.

Payton Schmidt, a freshman guard, also scored nine points for D-C with two 3s, Lucy Atherton added six points and Allison Michalski had six points, three steals and an assist in the victory.

“It was really important to get our fourth win in a row,” said Schmidt, was is starting in place of Kennedy White (fractured hand). “We just have to keep that winning streak going into regionals.”

The Chargers led, 15-14, at halftime and never trailed in the second half as both D-C and Prairie Ridge struggled from the field. The Chargers finished 13 of 34 (38.2 percent), while the Wolves were 10 of 41 (24.4 percent).

Both teams finished an identical 8 of 14 from the free-throw line.

Although she was happy with the win, Miller said the team has plenty to work on before Friday’s conference game against McHenry.

“We had some moments. Anna stepped up and kept us in the game early,” Miller said. “Payton had two key 3s

Dundee-Crown junior Kennedy White has missed the past four games with a fractured hand, and was playing with the injury for part of the season. Coach Sarah Miller said the best outlook for a return is regionals. for us, but we don’t want players to just keep us in the game. We want players to just consistently fill four quarters.

“We found a way to get it done, but we’re going to watch some film. We need to play some better defense. We need to box out; we gave up way too many rebounds. I know we won, but we have to be ready for McHenry on Friday.”

Schmidt hit both of her 3s in the second half, giving D-C a 32-21 lead at the start of the fourth quarter. The Chargers led by as many as 11 points in the final quarter.

Prairie Ridge cut the lead to six points on a steal and layup by Karly Statter, and cut it to four on a 3 by Emily Perhats with a minute remaining.

Atherton answered on the other end

with a quick two, pushing the Chargers’ lead to 37-31 with 45 seconds left.

The Wolves (8-15, 3-10 FVC) missed 5 of 9 foul shots in the fourth.

“Our shooters started cold,” Wolves coach Rick Lima said. “Shooters are shooters, and they’ve got to work themselves out of it.

“We went in at halftime and we felt like they were sagging in on us, and they’re taking all of our drives away. It forced us to either the hold the ball or move the ball and shoot well from the arc, which we didn’t do early.”

Nicole Dorn led the Wolves with a game-high 11 points – including three 3s – and two assists. Statter added seven points. Bailey Gorman led the team with seven rebounds.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

The Trojans took four charges, which coach Rod Saffert said is their target each game, although he thought they could have had two to four more on close calls.

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CARY – For the first half of Wednesday night’s game at Cary-Grove, the Trojans couldn’t seem to get a shot to fall no matter how close they were – missing or rimming out from within feet, inches or underneath the basket.

The Trojans never led throughout the first half either, as Huntley controlled what was a defensive battle that was tied at 4 after one quarter and 10 at the half.

The two shots that helped turn things around for the host, however, ended up coming from long range.

A little more than three minutes into the third quarter, Cary-Grove’s Maddie Gorz knocked down a 3-pointer, her first basket of the game. The Trojans had their first lead of the game. Within a minute, teammate Katie Demert had taken a charge, and Gorz hit another.

“As long as we’re getting looks, that’s really what we strive for, and we’re going to make them eventually; they’re going to fall,” Gorz said. “Everyone on our team can shoot, everyone can drive, that’s great about our team; I love that about our team.”

Gorz scored all eight of her team’s points, the only eight she scored all night, in the third quarter, and defensively the Trojans held Huntley to only two free throws, taking a lead they

never gave back. Cary-Grove went on to beat Huntley, 30-17, in a Fox Valley Conference game at Cary-Grove.

“It was really a team effort I think,” Gorz said. “My points contributed, but I love my teammates. I’m glad I was on the court with those nine girls. That was a team effort, team win.”

It was an important win for the Trojans (12-10, 7-5), who had lost four of their past five conference games after a 5-1 start.

“We had a tough four or five games there, but our start was really good, 2017 just got off to a bad start,” Gorz said. “This is the start of a run I think.

It’s going to be a good run.”

Offensively, Katie Sowa led CaryGrove with 13 points. Becca Kendeigh and Abby Getka added four apiece.

soon as we leave, he stays around to support all the freshmen, he comes to all the matmen practices still, he just lives and breathes Cary-Grove. So I’m so glad he got the opportunity to be on the stage.”

Petersen said the goal is to have Koeppel back and fully healthy for his senior football season.

Girls getting it done: This week saw a couple firsts for local female wrestlers.

On Thursday, Crystal Lake South’s Sara Golden wrestled her first varsity match of the season, losing by technical fall.

“She’s been hands down one of the toughest kids in the practice room,” Gators coach Ross Ryan said afterward. “It was awesome to finally convince her to take a chance and come out here and do it. She wrestled as much time as she possibly could; she did not give up a pin. She gave up the tech, but she saved a team point. That’s a takeaway for a freshman girl wrestling a returning varsity wrestler.”

On Saturday, she took second in the female division at the OP-RF invite, going 3-1 with three pins and a loss by decision.

Also Saturday, Dundee-Crown had a first for the season as Jasmine Rice, Valarie Morales, and Taniya Lacey all started in the varsity lineup at the Wauconda quad. Morales (a sophomore) and Lacey (junior) both are firstyear wrestlers, while Rice (junior) is in her second year.

No FVC tourney: In years past, this Saturday would have seen the FVC teams come together to crown their conference champions. This year, however, with the conference shrinking and consolidating to one division, the coaches voted before the season to do away with the conference tournament. The conference will only have a dual team cham-

pion, no individual winners or a tournament team champion. Coaches described the thinking behind the decision as a practical one, based on the timing and familiarity. “It was a week before regionals, we’d beat the [heck] out of each other, and then we’d see half the kids at our own regional again,” Huntley coach BJ Bertelsman said before the season.

Inside Wrestling ATHLETE OF THE WEEK JOSH STENGER Huntley, sr., 120 pounds Coming off a recent commitment to wrestle collegiately at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Stenger reached the finals of the Oak Park-River Forest Huskie Invitational, with a decision over the No. 7 wrestler in his class and a pin of another. He finished as runner-up after losing to Class 3A No. 1 Michael McGee, who is undefeated on the season, by a 7-0 decision. Even in the loss, Stenger showed signs of improvement, as he had lost his first meeting of the season with McGee, 12-2. Stenger is ranked No. 4 in 3A at 120 and is 36-6 on the season.

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS 1. Crystal Lake Central (14-4, 7-0 Fox Valley Conference): The Tigers edge back to the top after a fifth-place finish at the Oak Park-River Forest Huskie Invitational, where they had 10 placers. The Tigers remain ranked No. 2 in 2A. 2. Huntley (15-9, 7-0 FVC): The Red Raiders beat Prairie Ridge convincingly to remain perfect in conference meets, heading into a final showdown with Crystal Lake Central.

Over the weekend, Huntley took sixth at the OP-RF invite, only 3.5 points behind Central, with nine placers. The Red Raiders remain ranked as an honorable mention in 3A. 3. Jacobs (17-6, 6-2 FVC): The Golden Eagles swept their week, with a conference win over Dundee-Crown and then three wins in a quad over the weekend, including a victory over 3A No. 14 Conant.

NOTEWORTHY C-G’s Koeppel out: Cary-Grove junior Cadin Koeppel wasn’t able to wrestle in Thursday’s special auditorium dual at Crystal Lake South because of a leg injury that has ended his season. It was an especially poorly timed injury as Koeppel was having his best season yet, coming off an Athlete of the Week recognition, getting ranked honorable mention in 3A and recently placing second at the Whitewater Mid-States Classic. Koeppel did get a little time in the spotlight Thursday, singing the national anthem.

“I’m just glad that we got him some center-stage time,” C-G coach William Petersen said. “He is an all-around top character guy.

EVENTS TO WATCH Huntley at Crystal Lake Central, 6:30 p.m. Friday The top two teams in the FVC, and the county, meet for the conference title. Neither team has lost an FVC dual, and the two teams have held the top spots in our power rankings all season, each finishing better than one another at the two tournament’s they’ve had in common. On Friday, they will line up and see who is the best team in the FVC. Harvard at Marengo, 4 p.m. Saturday The first season of the KRC will be decided the same way the final year of the Big Northern Conference East was last year, a title-deciding dual between rivals Harvard and Marengo. Both are unbeaten in conference duals heading into Saturday’s meeting, and they are right next to each other in the illinoismatmen.com 2A rankings, with Harvard at No. 19 and Marengo at No. 20, so expect it to come down to the wire as it did last year, when Marengo pulled out its first conference title.

“We’re excited every year,” Marengo’s Joe Mier said. “Like last year, it comes down to that last dual against them. I hope it’s just like last year with that same intensity, that same vibe. And I hope we come out with that win.”

Chicagoland outdoor expo is here

The big one is here.

Thursday through Sunday brings the Chicagoland Fishing, Travel & Outdoor Expo to the Schaumburg Convention Center, and I wanted to point out a few things that I would not want you to miss out on.

The show dates and hours are from noon to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. The cost is $12 for adults, children ages 5 to 11 are $3 and kids younger than 5 are free. A portion of all proceeds goes to the Keep America Fishing initiative. Best of all, parking is free.

The Schaumburg Convention Center is located at 1551 N. Thoreau Drive in Schaumburg, just a stone’s throw from Woodfield Mall. For information on this show, visit www.sportshows.com/chicago.

A “bucket list” trip to the glorious fishing in Louisiana will be given away during the show. Don’t miss your chance to enter. There is a giveaway every day, including pairs of premium Costa sunglasses and really nice Daiwa Tatula baitcasting reels. Friday features a drawing for more than $1,000 worth of musky gear courtesy of Jim Saric and his Musky Hunter magazine and TV show. On Saturday, Cabela’s is giving away multi-tools to the first 250 people through the door, and on Sunday, Plano is giving tackle boxes to the first 100 kids to enter younger than 11.

The Abu Garcia Reel Services Team will be on hand all four days in Booth 320 to clean and service your Abu Garcia Round Reel or Low Profile Musky Reel (limit one per person), and answer questions related to maintenance to help you get the most out of your fishing reels.

Fishermen looking for a new fishing reel at the Chicagoland Fishing, Travel & Outdoor Expo have the opportunity to help a hero. Simply bring in any reel in working condi-

“I think, honestly, the entire game we played (as) more of a team than we ever have, and it was great to see everybody step up and try to do what they’re supposed to,” Sowa said.

Defensively, Cary-Grove held Huntley (12-11, 7-4) to only seven field goals – five in the first half.

“We just played defense. It was our best defensive effort, and we did what we needed to do offensively, although we panic at times to get it done,” coach

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley tion for a 10 percent off trade-in on any Shimano reel, Shimano rod or G. Loomis rod from participating retailers. The maximum trade-in is $50.

Shimano is assisting six Illinois tackle shops exhibiting at the show, including Angler’s Outlet, Angler’s International, Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy, FishTech, Lee’s Tackle and Presley’s Outdoors. All trade-in reels will be donated to the Outdoor Recreation Heritage Fund, which exists to aid veterans and active military and their families with healing opportunities through fishing, hunting and other outdoor activities.

On the seminars stages, the lineup is fantastic, but a couple of the superstars who I would not miss are Mike Iaconelli at 1:30 and 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Joe Bucher at 4 p.m. Friday, Marianne Huskey at 5:30 p.m. Saturday and Ish Monroe at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

Local experts are abundant, as well, and many of them appear regularly in this column. On the big show stage will be Mark O’Neill at 5 p.m. Thursday, Chris Taurisano at 1 p.m. Friday and Dave Kranz at 4:30 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday. Seminars are run on a continuous basis during show hours.

There is much, much more than I have space to mention. You’ll have to experience it for yourself. I hope to meet many of you there.

• • • I always remind outdoorsmen that they need to keep their eyes open for threats to our sports. They can come at us from every direction and often are very sneaky in the ways they are done.

Here is an example: On the day

Rod Saffert said. “That’s how this conference is, everybody can beat everybody.”

Melissa Moffett led Huntley with nine points, and Katherine Bessey had four. Huntley’s inside presence of starting forwards Morgan Clausen and Janelle Allen was limited, with Clausen contributing two points and Allen held scoreless. Grace Gajewski added two points for the Red Raiders.

“I think it’s a multitude of things for us,” Huntley coach Steve Raethz said. “A lot of it boils down to execution on the offensive end. I thought our ex-

before the installation of the Donald Trump administration, President Barack Obama’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued an edict to ban the use of traditional lead fishing tackle and hunting ammunition on hundreds of thousands of square miles of public lands. A lot of this land had been surreptitiously grabbed up by the agency in recent weeks.

Scott Gudes, VP of government affairs for the American Sportfishing Association, said, “The sportfishing industry views this unilateral policy to ban lead fishing tackle, which was developed without any input from the industry, other angling organizations and state fish and wildlife agencies, as a complete disregard for the economic and social impact it will have on anglers and the recreational fishing industry. In the limited instances where lead fishing tackle is demonstrated to harm local wildlife populations, the sportfishing industry supports actions to minimize or eliminate these impacts. However, unnecessary and sweeping bans such as this director’s order will do nothing to benefit wildlife populations and instead will penalize the nation’s 46 million anglers and hurt recreational fishing-dependent jobs.”

Please keep vigilant, folks, and check the website www.keepamericafishing.org on a regular basis. The future of our sports is in your hands.

HUNTING AND FISHING REPORT Northern Illinois: Kranz from Dave’s

Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “The recent rains and warm weather conditions have made the ice not safe in most locations.

Open-water fishing is available below the dams at McHenry, Algonquin and Carpentersville on the Fox River. A jig-and-minnow combination might catch some walleyes and white bass.

The ice will be back, but be really careful as there is a lot of bad ice out

ecution was poor tonight, and Cary had something to do with that, with some of the things they were taking away. But we didn’t do a very good job of passing, catching it and finding the spots that we needed to within the zone they were playing against us to give us opportunities.

“It was a combination of that and when you’re shooting the ball pretty cold and not knocking down shots, it’s a recipe to not have much success on the offensive end. You’re not going to win many games scoring 17 points.”

Raiders are going nowhere fast THE WAY WE HEAR IT

by Hub Arkush

While we have written on this topic before in The Way We Hear It, the confirmation by the league office that the Oakland Raiders requested formal permission to relocate to Las Vegas last week has once again set off a whirlwind of reporting and conversation that the move is a done deal.

Again, we are here to report that not only is the Raiders move to Vegas not a done deal, according to multiple sources around the league, the odds may actually be less than 50-50 that the move is approved, and even if it is approved there are still so many details unsettled that Mark Davis’ deal with Vegas could easily fall apart.

As one high-level team executive told us, “Mark Davis is a nice enough guy but he is not anywhere near in his father’s league, and he is in way over his head in his dealings with the other owners and the people in Las Vegas.”

There are two very significant hurdles that remain in Davis’ finding 23 owners willing to join him in voting to approve the move.

The National Football League cannot be any clearer in its objections to legalized betting on games, and even if that position is a public relations sham since anyone and everyone knows how critical it is to the league’s transcendent popularity, the NFL has spent a fortune in time and money staking out that claim.

For a league that has gone out of its way to get everything it’s touched over the past few seasons wrong in the poll of public opinion, to suddenly say its fine with putting a franchise in Las Vegas will be just one more public relations fiasco, especially with the cost being it will mark the owners thumbing their noses at the third loyal fan base – St. Louis and San Diego – in the past 12 months.

And that’s not the highest hurdle. Many assume that, since Jerry Jones has voiced his support for the move and because he was the power broker that swung the deal for the Rams and Chargers to land in LA, Davis will get his votes.

Additionally, what is not widely known is that Jones was Al Davis’ closest confidant among his fellow owners during his later years running the Raiders before his death.

Visiting with Davis in the week leading up to the Giants vs. Patriots Super Bowl in Phoenix in February 2008, Davis told us, “What I admire so much about Jerry is the way he’s been able to marry his business acumen and concerns with

his football business and accomplish the best for both the game and his team.”

How close Jones has stayed with the younger Davis in the five-plus years since he inherited the team we do not know, but we have been told recently by several sources close to Jones that while he likes the idea of a team in Vegas, he won’t put his weight behind a potentially bad or dangerous business deal if all the i’s aren’t dotted and the t’s aren’t crossed.”

And therein lies Davis’ biggest problem.

Yes, he, the city of Las Vegas and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson have agreed to the framework of a deal that will allow them to build a $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion, 65,000-seat, domed stadium in Las Vegas, and the city has approved $750 million in public money.

It would be the largest publicly funded commitment to an NFL stadium in history and the owners all love that.

Additionally, Adelson has committed $650 million of his own money to the project and there are multiple reports that Davis has a deal with Goldman Sachs to finance the remaining capital required.

Where things get extremely murky is Davis does not have a deal with Adelson for what the multi-billionaire expects in return for his $650 million. There are multiple reports Adelson wants a piece of the team – something we’re told Davis doesn’t have to give up and would be loathe to if he did – and significant operating control of the venue.

Finally, there is the biggest issue. The Rams paid fellow owners $550 million for the right to move from St. Louis to Los Angeles. While relocation fees have not been announced yet for the Chargers and Raiders, they aren’t going to be less. Davis just doesn’t have anywhere near that kind of money as far as anyone can tell, and league rules prohibit him from borrowing against the equity in his team.

Davis’ fellow owners will certainly be taking up his request to relocate at the winter meetings in Arizona at the end of March, but they are not obligated to vote on the move at that time and it’s a safe bet they won’t be voting if Davis hasn’t locked down the multiple loose ends in this deal.

Finally, The Way We Hear It, there are at least five owners who may or may not be willing to vote for Davis but are loathe to have Adelson as a partner should he sell him equity in the Raiders.

We aren’t saying the Raiders aren’t going to Las Vegas. Nothing Roger Goodell and his gaggle of owners do surprises us any more.

We are saying that multiple sources aligned with almost a dozen different teams are telling us this game is still in the first quarter.

Is Jim Irsay dumb like a fox

Media and fans alike wondered for weeks what was going on in Indianapolis while the other six teams in the NFL hustled to fill vacant head coach and general manager jobs. The assumption was Ryan Grigson and Chuck Pagano must be safe for another year, particularly in light of the four-year contract extensions each received prior to this season.

So there was more than a bit of surprise when Irsay announced Grigson would be fired while Pagano would get another year, after all the vacancies but the 49ers, who were the only other team looking for a G.M., had been filled.

Perhaps Irsay just couldn’t make up his mind, or perhaps as we’re hearing Irsay wanted to be certain of his options before making a move.

A source close to the situation in Indianapolis tells us that as the other clubs’ searches went on and were eventually completed, Irsay was

stunned that almost all of the top general manager and head coaching prospects were still available.

Knowing that he had one asset none of the other clubs could come close to matching, Andrew Luck, Irsay decided championship weekend was the time to pounce.

New England’s Nick Caserio, Kansas City’s Chris Ballard and Green Bay’s Eliot Wolf and Brian Gutekunst are at the top of almost every G.M. search list – Caserio is the hottest name in the league – and all declined to be considered for the 49ers job, the only other current general manager opening.

Ironically, it’s Irsay who now has the field all to himself as he goes prospecting.

Additionally, while it seems highly likely if not certain Kyle Shanahan will take the 49ers job, he, Josh McDaniels, Matt Patricia, Mike Smith and Todd Haley were all as highly and in most cases more highly rated than the assistants who’ve been awarded head coaching jobs so far.

We’re told that should Irsay manage to land Caserio or Ballard in the near future, and one of them can convince one of the remaining top head coaching prospects that he and Luck offer a job too good to pass up in spite of Irsay’s comments to date, Pagano may not be out of the woods yet either, and Irsay may end up making some of his fellow owners look like amateurs.

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com We at Pro Football Weekly are hard at work putting together our 2017 Draft Preview Magazine with scouting reports of 300+ draft prospects written by Greg Gabriel, who has 30 years experience in NFL scouting and was the Chicago Bears’ director of college scouting.

Be on the lookout for the magazine in bookstores near you later next month.

With the Scouting Combine and Pro Days approaching, there is still plenty of time for movement amongst draft prospects. Stocks will rise, some will fall, while others are set as blue-chip talent who can help a franchise from Day One. As of Jan. 22, just before the Senior Bowl, here are Gabriel’s top 10 prospects:

SPORTS BRIEF V. Williams beats Vandeweghe, reaches Aussie Open final

MELBOURNE, Australia – Venus Williams held up her end of the deal for another all-sisters Australian Open final with a 6-7 (3), 6-2, 6-3 win over CoCo Vandeweghe, becoming the oldest player to reach the final of the tournament in the Open era.

The 36-year-old Williams is back in a Grand Slam final for the first time since Wimbledon in 2009 and her first here since 2003, when she lost to her younger sister, Serena.

She could get a chance to avenge that loss – 22-time major winner Serena Williams was playing 34-year-old Mirjana

Lucic-Baroni later Thursday for a spot in the final.

“It means so much, mostly because she played so well. I mean, she played so unbelievable,” Williams said of the 25-yearold Vandeweghe, who was playing her first major semifinal. “To be able to get through the final from a match like this – I’m excited about American tennis, as well.”

Williams needed four match points on Vandeweghe’s serve in the last game before converting. Then she put both hands on her face, almost in surprise.

“It’s more than a cherry on top,” she said. “It’s more than I dreamed of.”

BEARS AT THE SENIOR BOWL

Bears searching for ballhawks

Defense in need of DBs who can force turnovers

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com MOBILE, Ala. – The Bears’ search for new players on defense to help improve after a franchise-worst season of creating turnovers began this week at the Senior Bowl.

General manager Ryan Pace, coach John Fox, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and defensive backs coach Ed Donatell will leave Mobile with plenty of knowledge of the defensive backs on the North team they are coaching.

“Just guys that show that they have the ball skills to No. 1 catch it, to find it and make a play on the ball,” Fangio said of what he’s looking for from the draft prospects. “Some guys have the innate ability to do that, and some guys don’t. Usually you can see it right away if they have the opportunities in practice, so I’d like to think we’ve given them enough opportunities to show that either in an individual drill or in competitive situations.”

Helping Fangio in identifying difference-making defensive backs is new Bears assistant coach Roy Anderson, who will work primarily with the safeties, the Bears’ most troubled

position on defense last season and for most of the past decade.

“You’ve just got to stress it,” Anderson said of how to improve at taking away the ball. “The more and more you stress it in meetings and practices, then I think the players click with it. That’s one thing we try to do everywhere I’ve been – stress those turnovers, stress trying to make plays on the ball down the field.

“And then also just repetition and practice. When you get to practice,

it’s, ‘Hey, we’ve got to strip the ball out. We’ve got to get picks.’ And then once you stress it over and over again, I think it really sticks with them, and then they go out there and do it.”

For a Bears team with a big need in the secondary, the top defensive backs on the roster they’re coaching in Mobile are Michigan corner Jourdan Lewis, Iowa corner Desmond King, Connecticut safety Obi Melifonwu and West Virginia corner Rasul Douglas.

Year 2 for Floyd: The Bears can create more turnovers with more pass rush, and that’ll come from an improved Leonard Floyd, who showed flashes in his 12 games. Fangio wants to see Floyd in better shape to start his second season.

“Get him in better shape and keep him available so he can go through a whole offseason and a whole training camp to where he can play,” Fangio said. “That one stretch in the middle third of the season where he was practicing and playing a good bit, you saw him make good strides, and then he had the couple concussions late in the season, which slowed him down. If we can get him out there and playing and participating, he’ll be fine.”

Fangio has been coaching Floyd’s position, the outside linebackers, in Mobile after Clint Hurtt’s contract was not renewed. The veteran coordinator said he usually spends more time with the OLBs, and he’s getting some help at the Senior Bowl from Sean Desai, the team’s defensive quality control coach the past two seasons.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAMPAIGN – Michael Finke scored 17 points off the bench and led Illinois in a 76-64 win over Iowa on Wednesday night.

Illinois got off to a 10-0 start in the first few minutes of the game and never gave back the lead.

Offense was not a problem in a game where Illinois (13-8, 3-5 Big Ten) looked dominant, shooting 55 percent from the field in the first half and finishing shooting 45 percent, including 9 of 19 from beyond the arc.

Nicholas Baer led the way for Iowa (11-10, 3-5) with 12 points.

Illinois St. 71, Indiana St. 66: At Normal, Deontae Hawkins and Phil Fayne had 19 points each, and Illinois State escaped a close contest for its 10th straight win.

The Redbirds (17-4, 9-0 Missouri Valley) pulled away with the final five points of the game at the foul line. The Sycamores (7-14, 1-8) tied it at 66 on Jordan Barnes’ 3-pointer with 1:01 to go, but Brenton Scott missed a layup with 26 seconds and Matt Van Scyoc missed a 3-point attempt that would have tied it with 4 seconds to go.

Loyola 70, Bradley 50: At Chicago, Donte Ingram scored 24 points with six 3-pointers, and Loyola used a big second-half run to beat Bradley. Milton Doyle added 14 points with two 3s for the Ramblers (15-7, 5-4 Missouri Valley).

Donte Thomas scored 11 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Bradley (8-14, 3-6), which has lost four straight.

Belmont 77, E. Illinois 64: At Charleston, Evan Bradds scored 23 points for the second straight game, and Belmont pulled away from EIU in the second half to take an Ohio Valley Conference victory. The win is the 10th straight for the Bruins (14-4, 8-0).

Demetrius McReynolds led the Panthers (9-12, 1-7) with 20 points.

South Dakota 62, W. Illinois 55: At Vermillion, South Dakota, Matt Mooney scored 16 points and added six rebounds to help lead South Dakota (13-9, 5-3 Summit League) over WIU. Dalan Ancrum and Garret Covington led WIU (6-13, 3-5) with 13 points.

Tennessee St. 76, SIU Edwardsville 56:

At Edwardsville, Wayne Martin had 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds, and all five starters scored in double figures as the Tigers (13-8, 4-4 OVC) cruised past the Cougars (5-17, 0-8).

Point guard woes surface again

By JOE COWLEY

HAWKS 119, BULLS 114

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Jimmy Butler talks too much.

Just ask him.

Although he’s more than willing and able to take over the team’s full-time point guard duties, that’s not a discussion he will have with Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg. Not yet, at least.

Now, if Hoiberg wants to sit down and discuss it … . “[Heck] yeah, I’ll do it,” Butler said. “That’s not saying I am [a point guard], but I think that if that’s what my team, my coach needs me to do, I definitely think I can handle it.”

The reason Butler hasn’t forced the issue?

“I think at times I talk too much,” Butler said. “So sometimes I need to be quiet, let Fred do his job and I’ll do mine. Just play basketball. But if sometime soon I think I need to finally speak up in that department and let him know we need to do this, sure, why not.”

second straight ineffective start at the point, with the Bulls (23-24) losing late to Atlanta, 119-114, at the United Center. Butler scored a gamehigh 40 points, while Dwyane Wade chipped in 33, but point guard talk still was in the air.

Grant, who scored five points, is the third Bulls player to earn an audition.

It was Rajon Rondo’s to start the season, but that lasted until the end of December, when the decision was made to go with Michael Carter-Williams.

Bulls forward Jimmy Butler is fouled on the way to the basket by Hawks guard Dennis Schroder during the first half Wednesday at the United Center. The Bulls lost, 119-114.

Not only did that lead to Rondo losing his starting job, but he went five-plus games without even seeing the floor.

After the win against Sacramento on Saturday, Hoiberg wanted to change things up once again, letting Carter-Williams know he was out as a starter, and Grant would get the opportunity.

According to Hoiberg, the main reason was Grant’s ability to be more of an outside threat. Not that he’s shown it much in either start, but

Hoiberg at least likes the idea of it.

That’s another reason Butler isn’t looking to rock the boat.

“Right now, we’re going to go with this lineup that we have,” Butler said. “Let’s ride it out for now.”

Not that playing point guard would be new for the 6-foot-7 Butler.

He basically is the point guard in the fourth quarter of games this season.

Hoiberg was asked why he

just doesn’t make Butler the full-time point guard, and a big reason why was he didn’t want Butler – who plays almost 37 minutes a game anyway – to get the extra work of also bringing the ball up the court.

Not a big deal, however, as far as Butler was concerned.

“C’mon, I mean if [the opposition] wants to put a guy on the ball and try and wear me out, I feel like I do a lot of running anyways,” Butler said. “I condition myself well enough to where I can ‘be tired,’ but still do what I’m supposed to do.”

Plus, Butler is quick to remind everyone of last season.

He was the full-time starting point guard for four games at the end of the season, averaging an eye-popping 21.5 points, 10.3 assists and 9.3 rebounds a game and leading the Bulls to a 3-1 record.

James Harden-type numbers that still have Butler smiling.

“Exactly, and I like that,” Butler said of the Harden comparison. “I got the ball in my hands early, so I can find guys or I can go get my own. I feel comfortable in that role.

“I really would do it.”

What say you, Fred?

BULLS NOTES

Wade talks present, playing in back-to-backs

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Tuesday was about Dwyane Wade’s future.

He was very real about that, letting it be known that sustained mediocrity this season by the Bulls could factor into his decision to opt out of his contract and become a free agent this summer.

Wednesday was about the threetime NBA champion’s present.

The 35-year-old guard has missed a handful of games this season, mostly to rest on the back end of back-to-backs, but made the decision before the Orlando game that enough was enough for now.

Wade not only started in Tuesday’s win over the Magic, but was back out there 24 hours later for the game with Atlanta.

That doesn’t mean Wade is done sitting out Day 2 on the back-to-backs this season, but he won’t have to worry about that until after the All-Star break, when the Bulls play host to Phoenix on Feb. 24 and then go to Cleveland a day later.

It’s a good bet that the veteran won’t skip a chance to face off against good friend LeBron James, so go ahead and pencil him in for those Dwyane Wade two games, as well.

“That’s why I try to take off certain back-to-backs, etc., to try to prevent certain things if you can,” Wade said of his mindset. “Some things are unpreventable. So kind of the same plan I had last year.”

It was in Miami last season that

Wade started sitting in certain back-tobacks, and the result was playing in 74 games – the most regular-season action Wade had seen since the 2009-10 season. He is on pace to play in 73 games in his first season with the Bulls.

A lot has been made of the “Wade Plan,” but the veteran said that type of talk has been overblown.

“I didn’t have a plan not to play in back-to-backs,” Wade said. “I just decided to take a few of them off trying to be smart, like the organization wanted me to. This one (with Orlando and Atlanta), I felt I had two days off the other day after our back-to-back. I looked at the schedule for the month. We had four of them. The first two I decided was kind of closer. This one was more time in between. It’s challenging, but I’m OK with the challenge of it.”

Wade pointed out that his game against Sacramento on Saturday was the second game of a back-to-back, and all he did was put up 30 points.

Butler’s latest bromance: Jimmy Butler is no stranger to having good friends sitting courtside, whether it’s actor Mark Wahlberg or actress Shay Mitchell.

But the latest Butler bromance?

Steelers receiver Antonio Brown.

Brown was a courtside guest of Butler’s for Wednesday’s game with the Atlanta Hawks, and according to the Bulls guard, was going to hang in town for a few days.

The two became close in the summer, and the football that Butler carries around to practices and shootarounds was given to him by the Pro Bowl receiver.

This handsome boy was originally found underneath a deck as a little kitten. He was adopted as a teenager but recently returned because he was too active for his guardian. He has a gray tabby cap, tail and some on his back. He has green eyes and a cute pink nose. He is a big boy at 11 pounds and he's the strong silent type. Elton loves getting attention from everyone he meets. He is very social with all of the cats in Cat Country as well. He is still a very playful boy but he also has his loving side too. He likes high places, comfy beds and sitting in the safety of our catios looking at the birds. You can find him playing with the other cats or with small toys but what he really likes is when the interactive toys come out.

He would be perfect for any individual or family and adjusts easily. Please spend time with him at Helping Paws located at 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock, Illinois.

815-338-4400 www.helpingpaws.net Elton would love a second chance in a home where someone will want to play with him and love him forever.

‘This is the town’

Retiring film location manager reflects on ‘Groundhog Day’

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

B

ill Murray could have woken up on Groundhog Day in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, not Woodstock.

The town came close to becoming the film location for Murray’s iconic 1993 film, “Groundhog Day.” As anyone with any knowledge of either the film or Woodstock knows, Murray’s character ended up repeating his day in Woodstock.

And Woodstock landed a reason to celebrate annually – with its Groundhog Days celebration growing from a simple breakfast in 1995 to today’s slew of activities beginning Feb. 1, 25 years after the filming.

You’d think Woodstock always was all about “Groundhog Day.” But that’s not necessarily the case, said Bob Hudgins, the location manager for Columbia Pictures at the time who worked closely with the film’s director, Harold Ramis.

Similarly to Murray’s character, Hudgins has repeated his Woodstock days since Groundhog Days began, returning to lead walking tours of some of the film’s most memorable sites and telling behind-the-scenes stories.

Now retired from the film industry (most recently working on “Chicago Fire”), living in Texas and trying to stay healthy after suffering two heart attacks, Hudgins has declared this year his last.

He looks back with pride on the relationship he developed with Woodstock and the example “Groundhog Day” set. He knows both sides of filmmaking – the pitfalls of moviemakers coming in, not paying bills and creating poor atmospheres and experiences like “Groundhog Day,” in which towns

rejoice annually.

“To have a town like Woodstock actually invite us back just to be a part of the day… I feel very lucky I’ve had that in my life,” he said. “I just want to be able to walk away with my head held high.

Luckily, the city of Woodstock has been very generous giving me that gift.”

When Hudgins and others involved with “Groundhog Day” first came to town, though, their presence wasn’t seen as a gift at all.

A second look

Hudgins already had been to Woodstock to film a scene from 1987’s “Planes, Trains & Automobiles,” starring John Candy and Steve Martin, near the Old Courthouse on the Woodstock Square.

He’d also worked on 1989’s “Field of

A location manager for Columbia Pictures in 1992 when “Groundhog Day” was filmed in Woodstock, Bob Hudgins has lead walking tours of the memorable sites in the movie since Woodstock began its Groundhog Days celebration. This will be his last year taking part in the festivities.

Dreams” with Kevin Costner – another film with a famous location often visited by fans, this one in Dubuque County, Iowa.

Pictures of Woodstock were among the first set of photos of potential film locations sent to Ramis by Hudgins. With family in Chicago, both Ramis and Murray wanted to film near the city. Yet, the goal was to find a film location that looked like Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, known for its annual Groundhog Day celebration and prognostication – a ceremony recreated in the movie.

Woodstock immediately was dismissed.

“Woodstock, being a town square, had a very different look than the original Punxsutawney,” Hudgins said.

So he kept looking, scouting loca-

tions in Wisconsin, southern Michigan, Indiana and Iowa. They’d nearly settled on Mineral Point, Wisconsin. While scouting through central Wisconsin, Ramis joined Hudgins and production designer David Nichols for a breakfast stop in Baraboo, Wisconsin, which also has a town square.

See GROUNDHOG, page 11

• GROUNDHOG

As they checked out Baraboo, they talked about how a town square could serve as a metaphor for Bill Murray’s character being trapped.

“In that moment, Baraboo changed the whole narrative of the film,” Hudgins remembered.

The next question became, “Is there a town square closer to Chicago that looks this good?”

The following morning, they were in Woodstock.

They’d been in town a few minutes when Ramis turned to Hudgins and said, “This is it. This is the town.”

The director had no recollection of the initial photographs of Woodstock Hudgins had sent. “I allowed him to discover it for himself,” Hudgins said.

“That’s what I love about filmmaking. My part of the mechanics of making a film actually played a role in the way the story ended up being told.

That’s rare. Most of the time it’s pretty perfunctory. ‘We need a house to blow up,’ ” he said.

Convincing a town

Then the hard work began as Hudgins began talking with city leaders and business owners, many of whom didn’t want filmmakers coming to town. A group of 27 business owners even had buttons with the number 27 on them they wore to town hall meetings to block the filming. When the buttons went down to 14, Hudgins knew he was headed in the right direction.

The initial plan was to film only a few days in the square, with Gobbler’s Knob – the site of the Groundhog Day ceremony – created in a park elsewhere, likely Moraine Hills State Park in McHenry. But Nichols walked out of the Opera House one day and said, “We need to do Gobbler’s Knob here.”

That turned into six weeks of filming, to “no one has ever take over a

‘Redemption movies have legs’

And every year, even 25 years later, they still want to be part of it, whether that means watching the movie again, attending the prognostication or taking one last tour with Hudgins.

Did Hudgins imagine he’d still be talking about the film 25 years later?

No, but “redemption movies have legs… That movie has worked its way into people’s lives,” he said.

“There are people that have seen that film I don’t even know how many times, but a lot more than I’ve watched it, that’s for sure,” said Hudgins, who estimates he’s seen the movie about 15 times.

“It’s touched them in a way that that’s a special film to them.”

Feb. 2, Woodstock Willie will make his annual Groundhog Day Prognostication on the Woodstock Square.

“It turns from reasonable to monumental,” he said.

He and his crew basically moved into town, with Hudgins living in an apartment over a Square business for nine months and others renting houses.

The crew became close-knit, playing Crazy Eight every weekend, hanging out what was then Uncle Dan’s bar.

They spoke with business owners daily, touched literally every building on the Square in one way or another, whether it was through renovations or installing cables on rooftops.

“We did things I don’t think any other picture had done to promote it,” Hudgins said.

Most film locations aim to keep the public out. On the set of “Groundhog Day,” the public was invited in, even encouraged to participate.

GROUNDHOG DAYS SCHEDULE OF EVENTS THE NORTHWEST HERALD

“Phil? Phil Connors?”

Bill Murray’s memorable step into a puddle to avoid Ned Ryerson, the bed-and-breakfast he slept in, the Opera House bell tower he jumped from and, of course, Gobbler’s Knob, where he was forced to go every morning for the groundhog’s annual prognostication. All will be remembered and celebrated . . . again . . . 25 years after the 1992 filming of “Groundhog Day.” Woodstock’s annual celebration of the filming of the Harold Ramis-directed movie in Woodstock will begin Feb. 1 with four days’ worth of continuous activities, including a new pub crawl, and a bonus Feb. 11 Blue Jeans and Black Tie dinner.

In the movie, now a cult classic, Murray, as Pittsburgh TV weatherman Phil Connors, is sent to do a live broadcast against the backdrop of the groundhog emerging from his winter den and predicting either an early spring or the continuation of winter.

Connors gets stuck in a time loop and experiences that particular Groundhog Day over and over. Similarly, thousands of fans return over and over to celebrate both the film and its location.

“We have loved watching Groundhog Days grow from a small community event to this celebration that brings people from across the country to Woodstock, Illinois,” said Rick Bellairs, a Groundhog Days committee member and extra in the movie.

‘The real deal’

Cary-Grove senior earns BroadwayWorld Chicago accolades

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Cary-Grove High School theater director Rob Boncosky didn’t need any affirmation he’d picked the right lead for the school’s upcoming musical, “Evita.”

But he got it anyway.

Senior Haley Gustafson, who will play the lead, Eva Perón, in “Evita” – slated to run March 10-18 at the high school – was a finalist for Best Actress in a Musical or Revue as part of the 2016 BroadwayWorld Chicago Awards for a role she took on last summer.

The 18-year-old from Cary played Veronica Sawyer in “Heathers: The Musical,” an Up and Coming Theatre production performed last July and August at Forest View Education Center in Arlington Heights.

She might not have won the BroadwayWorld Chicago award, announced Monday, but becoming a finalist was enough of a reward in itself.

“I knew I was in the pool of people nominated, but that was a very large group of people, so I kind of forgot,” she said. A friend actually texted her to tell her she’d become a finalist. “I think I literally said something like, ‘For what?’ ” Her name ended up on a list of finalists including Tony Award winners Patti Lupone and Christine Ebersole, who both starred in “War Paint” at Goodman Theatre, and other admirable Chicago area actresses. (Gustafson fell under the “resident

non-Equity” category, while Lupone and Ebersole were under the “resident Equity” slot.)

The nominees are submitted by readers of www.broadwayworld.com and then voted on through an online voting process.

Gustafson remains in a bit of disbelief she actually earned the recognition for her first theater role outside of high school, a role she sought out. Finding meaty, complex female roles at her age can be difficult, she said.

“It’s one of my favorite shows,” Gustafson said of “Heathers.” “I say this not because I was in it. It’s truly one of my all-time favorite shows. I had wanted to do it for awhile. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I have to audition for that,’ ” she remembered.

“To be able to play a character that had so much depth and complexity at the age of 17... there just aren’t many roles like that.”

The BroadwayWorld finalist slot was not Gustafson’s first claim to fame.

She was part of Cary-Grove’s spring production of “Cinderella,” last year’s winner for “Best Production” in the Illinois High School Musical Theatre Awards hosted

by Broadway in Chicago. Gustfason, who played the fairy godmother in the production, also was a finalist for best actress in that awards competition, which included 70 participating high schools.

Boncosky, who went to see Gustafson in “Heathers,” calls her a “triple threat.”

“Her voice is extraordinary, her dancing is exceptional and her acting, she is so

smart and insightful and has such a mature understanding of acting and character development,” he said. “She’s way beyond her years. . . . In my 24 years of teaching and directing, she is one of the most extraordinary talents we’ve ever had.”

He picked “Evita” as the school’s next musical because of the talent school-wide at Cary-Grove. Yet, he knew he had a solid lead. Both the role Gustafson played in “Heathers” and the upcoming “Evita” role require strong protagonists with incredible vocal stamina.

“There just aren’t a lot of people Haley’s age who could handle this role vocally,” he said. “The role of Eva Perón, it is a unique character that requires unique talent.

Haley is just that and you don’t get that very often in a high school student.

“She is remarkable. She is the real deal,” he said.

As for Gustafson, who’s auditioning for numerous well-known theater college programs, including Juilliard, she sees “Evita” as possibly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. “This is up there, I think in my opinion, as one of the greatest musical roles,” she said.

“It’s the first time we’ve ever done a show based on a real person. It’s the first time I’ve ever played a character based on a real person. It’s very interesting and kind of terrifying. The technique and stamina required to be in a show of this magnitude is very scary, but I’m incredibly excited and grateful.”

“FIRST DATE”

‘First Date’ a first rate modern musical REVIEWS Ernest J. Varga Having enjoyed Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals my whole life, it takes quite a lot for a modern day musical to earn my approval. I am happy to say such is the case with “First Date.” From the title, the audience has a good idea of what the musical is about, but the talented actors and actresses performing a well-written and -scored production creates a multiplicity of scenarios and genres for our couple meeting for the first time to enjoy and endure.

Set in a combination lounge and bistro, the musical continues to transform the single intimate setting from the past to the present, and even out into various possible futures for those on stage as well as in the audience. The multi-tiered, various compartmentalized and alternate space-oriented set – with its many various levels and stages of lighting – create, set and project the many moods desired throughout the production. Adding in part to the setting was the purposely limited seating within the Raue Center itself through the use of curtained-off sections on the main level, and no open seating in the balcony area. What I initially saw

as a limitation, I came to appreciate in the course of the night.

The play is written with two leads – Mackenzie Curran as Casey and Christopher Davis as Aaron – and five supportive members – Dan Hamman as Man 1, Carmen Risi as Woman 2, Billy Seger as Man 2, Kara Schoenhofer as Woman 2, Thomas E. Squires as Man 3 – along with Jeanna Payne and Evan Cullinan as the understudies (not seen in the opening night performance).

Yet, despite the cast size, each member steals the show at given times during the brief vignettes with witty proses and some fine acting and singing. Having given due credit to the performers, the directors and choreographers also need to be given their chance to take a bow. Words and scene direction on a page are one thing, but making them come to life and drawing the audience in takes talent.

As if being thrust into the uncomfortable position of a blind date were not enough stress to place on the story’s couple, or any of us for that matter, the work weaves in the issues of religion, our electronic world of information, past relationships and life experiences, family and friends, and of course the possibility of friendship and perhaps even love. If that sounds like a lot to pack into two hours of entertainment, you’re right.

The best part is this Williams Street

Repertory production pulls it off with flying colors.

Considering I attended the opening night of the production and was able to observe a great deal of hard work that went into it, there is one point worth noting as the production continues this run. In a few cases during the production, the sound of the music overtook and drowned out the words of a song being performed. Due to this, some pithy lines that made other members of the audience who could hear them laugh, left me wondering what I had missed in those brief seconds. It was not enough to lose the gist of what was occurring on stage, but, nonetheless, it’s in need of correction.

So the musical-goer is aware and not surprised, it should be noted there are a few scenes in which certain language and concepts are presented that may not meet with everyone’s approval. They are not done gratuitously and work within the context of the story, but, nevertheless, are there.

A little clue to a point many attending the opening night production inadvertently missed, as you are departing the theater after the final bows, keep one eye on the stage to catch some additional fancy footwork.

Whether one is in the dating pool or has been out of it for quite some time, the lines and score of this musical hit home with the audience and brought back memories of personal

It meets the test of a good musical production in that you leave remembering a few distinct catch-phrases and humming, while trying to remember the words to a song or two playfully in your mind in the course of the days that follow.

So whether its for a Valentine’s Day celebration, an evening out with your loved one of decades or perhaps even a blind date, I highly recommend taking in this production, running through Feb. 12 at the Raue.

Encore’s inaugural ‘Forever Plaid’ leaves audience wanting more REVIEWS Regina M. Belt-Daniels Once upon a time, there were four pals, Frankie, Smudge, Jinx and Sparky, who tragically, while enroute to their first big gig at the airport Hilton, are broadsided by a parochial girls high school bus and killed instantly. (The girls all survive, by the way, and were headed to “The Ed Sullivan Show” to see The Beatles). And so, “holy cannoli,” begins one of the most popular and successful American musicals, “Forever Plaid.”

Written by Stuart Ross with musical arrangements by James Raitt, “Forever Plaid” has been entertaining audiences around the world since 1989 with its delightful revue and comedy format showcasing the clean-cut genre of harmonious guy groups. The plot is simple: The Plaids are allowed back from the afterlife one last time to sing the

show they “would have done if they could have done.” Clad in identical white tuxedos and clasping tall tapered candles, The Plaids Lazarus onto the stage while moving and Gregorian chanting through the audience in their approach.

For such a musical to be a success, you need a quartet of four gifted and experienced performers, in addition to skilled musicians.

Encore Theatre’s inaugural production does not disappoint. Incredibly, there are just two exquisite musicians onstage accompanying The Plaids: Richard Trost (piano) and Dallas Klytta (bass). They play 24 musical numbers from the ’50s and ’60s flawlessly. The hits range from “Three Coins in the Fountain” to “Sixteen Tons” to classic doo wops. But it is the masterful, lush vocal abilities and pleasing personalities of Terry Christianson (Jinx), Karl Knutson (Frankie), J. Oliver Perry (Smudge) and David Pfenninger (Sparky) that captivate and constantly delight during the entire well-paced, 1-hour-and-20-minute performance.

Each character gets his own time in the spotlight, but, for me, the best moments are Christianson’s timid Jinx’s letting go on “Cry,” Pfenninger’s (Sparky’s) “Golden Cardigan” tribute to Perry Como, Perry’s (Smudge’s) homage to 45s and LPs and the eloquent Knutson’s Frankie continually setting the other three right despite impending asthma attacks. I also appreciated the foursome’s tricky use of plungers during “Crazy About You,” the clever montage of Ed Sullivan acts played out during “Lady of Spain” and the very touching acapella rendition of “Scotland the Brave.” This ensemble is attractive, energetic, cool and smooth.

The Kimball Street Theatre is an intimate black box, and the scenic and lighting design by Tanya Brown Moore is simple, yet very effective, particularly with the addition of enhancing set pieces manned by The Plaids. The use of nightclub tables and regular theater-row seating works well with the plaid-bordered thrust stage and allows the audience a close con-

You can be as close or as far as you choose; there are no assigned seats.

High praise must be given to director/choreographer Konnie Kay and music director John G. Slawson, who provide us with a superb, affectionately charming show that deserves sold-out audiences and standing ovations. If “Forever Plaid” is any indication of future Encore productions, I’m more than looking forward to the next one.

Power with a twist

‘Gloria’ brings laughs, drama to Goodman

Jennifer Kim (Kendra), Catherine Combs (Ani), and Kyle Beltran (Miles) appear in “Gloria”at Goodman Theatre.

Photo provided courtesy of Liz Lauren

REVIEWS Paul Lockwood Spoiler alert: this review contains no spoilers.

I’m starting with that advisory because the 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist, “Gloria,” a powerful drama laced with humor now playing at the Goodman Theatre, deserves to have its plot surprises shared only when you’re actually in the audience.

As the play by Branden JacobsJenkins opens, we meet five employees and one college intern who work at a culture magazine in New York City. With low-wall cubicles in the forefront and frosted-glass offices in the background, we’re introduced to: • Dean (Ryan Spahn), an editorial assistant with five years under his belt who is frustrated at his lack of advancement. He’s shown up this particular morning with a major hangover, and it isn’t the first time.

He’s the only one who attended the previous night’s housewarming of ...

• Gloria (Jeanine Serralles), viewed as a little strange by her coworkers; she’s been at the magazine for 15 years, but isn’t someone anyone really feels comfortable spending non-work hours with. Because Dean stayed the entire evening, another co-worker . . .

• Ani (Catherine Combs), a relatively new (one year) editorial assistant, says Gloria basically held Dean hostage emotionally. She’s curious about the antics of her co-workers, especially . . .

• Kendra (Jennifer Kim), who thinks nothing about arriving late at the office, taking long coffee breaks, and criticizing/teasing her colleagues (“Schmoozers become losers,” she tells Dean), although Dean can dish it back, with the ensuing conversation getting so loud it upsets . . .

• Lorin (Michael Crane), the head fact-checker at the magazine whose office down the hall and noise-canceling headphones can’t suppress

the sound coming from the other four. At 37, he’s even more upset than Dean. When a female indie musician dies of an overdose, forcing the magazine into overdrive to cram in a full profile in the next issue, he bemoans his life: “I really envy her.

I wish I was dead.” Finally, unsure about his future is . . .

• Miles (Kyle Beltran), an intern who’s one day away from the end of his six-week stint at the magazine.

These six – truly embodied by the actors who originated these parts off-Broadway, and led by the same director (Evan Cabnet) – capture our attention from the get-go. Kendra has some of the best laugh lines, but the others make a real impression, too, as they deal with each other’s distinct personalities, work habits (or lack thereof) and job woes.

We wonder what makes this particular day different than any other at the magazine and whether we’ll be laughing for the entire evening.

We weren’t. At intermission, the audience was left with a dramatic turn of events that made us wonder where the plot next would take us.

At the performance I attended, everyone was talking about the show during the break, and nobody was leaving early.

Don’t bring the kids. Without spoiling the plot twists, let me say profanity only is part of the reason I caution you on that. And there is a fight choreographer listed on the staff of the play.

“Gloria” is a play for adults that made me laugh and cringe, and it kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering how I would react in the situations played out in both acts.

The key theme throughout is ambition vs. basic compassion, and an important message at the end of the play is when one character says, “I want to know the people I spend my whole day with.” You may have the same feeling after seeing “Gloria.”

It’s a contemporary show that stays with you long after the final bows.

By JOCELYN NOVECK The Associated Press

When was the last time an animated film actually lowered your pulse rate?

In its typical Hollywood form, an animated feature usually is the cinematic equivalent of a sugar rush – a frantic barrage of colors and movement and jokes and sounds.

It’s safe to say “The Red Turtle,” a fortuitous collaboration between Japan’s famed Studio Ghibli and Dutch animator-director Michael Dudok de Wit, is very, very different. A fable, beautifully drawn in calm, soothing colors, it doesn’t even have dialogue, let alone a throbbing soundtrack. Those sounds you hear are the sounds of silence, and eventually they become hypnotic.

As Dudok de Wit tells it, he received an email out of the blue in 2006 from the vaunted animation studio, asking if he’d be interested in working on his first feature (the director is known for his animated shorts). He was, and he came up with the story of a man cast away on

a deserted island.

The director’s research took him to his own deserted island, in the Seychelles, where he shot thousands of photographs. He wanted to recreate the feeling of how time stands still in such a place. He spent nine years creating that animated world. And you can tell.

The film begins with a roiling sea. A man is lost in the waves; we don’t know how he got there. Finally, he washes up on a tranquil island, inhabited seemingly only by a few friendly crabs on the beach.

Exploring the rocky cliffs, he slips and falls into a crevasse and seems about to drown in the water below when he steels his nerves, dives deeper down and finds a way out. Slowly, in this way, he learns how to cope with the forces of nature around him. And slowly we relax, too, into the rhythms of this natural world.

There are some lovely greens and blues and grays here, but, unlike many animated films, the palette is limited and the colors fairly muted – as they are

in life. It’s beautiful, but we also know the man – of course we don’t know his name or anything about him – aches to find a way back to civilization.

He builds an impressive raft and sets sail, only to have some unknown underwater force – could it be a shark?

– destroy it and send him gasping to the shore. He rebuilds the raft and tries again, but the same force destroys it once more.

It turns out this is no shark, but a big, beautiful red turtle that is thwarting our man’s dream of escape. But why? And how will this confrontation end?

It’s tempting to continue recounting the plot here, but this is one of those films where the less you know beforehand, the better. Suffice it to say as our main character learns to be patient with nature, we too sense the need to slow

down and wait for our own gratification.

Of course nature can be terrifying, too, in sudden ways, and so another thing this expressive film manages to convey is how vulnerable man is to the caprices of nature. Finally, we’re also asked to contemplate our attitudes toward death – but now we’re really getting ahead of ourselves. No more plot revelations here, other than to say the entire cycle of life is lovingly portrayed.

After watching “The Red Turtle,” you might find yourself checking out flights to your own deserted island. Especially now, with so much turbulence in the headlines, you could do worse than submit to 80 minutes of watching crabs crawl in the sand and feeling some cool ocean breezes – if you pay close enough attention, you actually can sense them wafting through the screen.

6 easy, affordable smart home features that could help you sell your house faster (BPT) - Fresh paint on the walls, professional staging and an asking price that ends in 999 - when you’re selling your home, you’ll do whatever you can to help it stand out and sell faster.

Because the National Association of Realtors is predicting modest growth for the 2017 real estate market, as a seller you want every edge you can get. And on the heels of the popular Consumer Electronics Show in January, perhaps that edge is a smarter home.

smart features that make their properties more appealing to tech-minded buyers.”

“Smart home features are designed to make homes more convenient, appealing, secure and energy-efficient - all of which are bonuses when you’re trying to sell a house,” says Geoff Lewis, president of RE/MAX, LLC. “Sellers who want to move their homes faster may benefit from adding

* Keyless/remote entry door locks

According to IHS Markit and CNBC, 80 million smart home devices were delivered worldwide last year. That’s a 64 percent increase from 2015.

Here are six trending smart home features that might catch buyers’ attention and help sell your home faster:

- Have you ever left the house and worried that you left the front door unlocked? If your home is equipped with a keyless/remote entry door lock - available from multiple manufacturers - you can use an app on

your smartphone to lock the door from wherever you are. Some manufacturers make versions that will also send a text or email to your phone when the door opens. Locks that can be programmed with multiple entry codes also allow you to see who comes and goes and when.

* Smart lighting - From lighting automation that allows you to control lights remotely and wirelessly, to energy-efficient LED bulbs that can change color to match your mood and decor, lighting has come a long way. Some smart lights work in tandem with home

Continued from the previous page automation systems to allow you to turn them on or off, or even dim them, from an app on a smartphone or tablet. Others require no communication hub and can be controlled directly from your mobile device.

You can also put some smart bulbs on timers (using your wireless device), sync them with certain TV shows or movies, and integrate them with security cameras and thermostats. * DIY security systems - Don’t want to sign a contract or deal with complex security systems? Install-it-yourself security systems are affordable and offer security features like cameras, sensors, motion detectors and alarms or sirens, without the need for a security service to monitor them.

* Smart appliances - The Internet of Things (IoT) everyday objects that have network connectivity - includes a growing list of smart appliances. Many manufacturers are offering washers, dryers, refrigerators and other home appliances that can communicate with you - and each other - wirelessly. Many can be controlled remotely from your smartphone - so if you leave the house and can’t remember if you turned off the stove, you can check in and turn it off using your smartphone app.

While appliances aren’t always included in a home sale, they do make for interesting features that keep your home top of mind to buyers.

* Smart plugs - One of the easiest, most affordable smart home upgrades you can make is to add smart plugs to your home. These Wi-Fi-enabled plugs fit existing outlets and can be controlled from a smartphone app. Plug anything into a smart plug, like lights or a television, and you can turn it on or off remotely, track energy consumption, or even create an on-off schedule. * Temperature controls - Programmable thermostats were just the beginning; today’s home temperature controls are even smarter. Like other smart home features, smart thermostats can be controlled remotely from your mobile device. You can program them to make automatic temperature adjustments and then use your smartphone to override the program like

turning up the heat on a particularly cold day. Some smart thermostats learn from household behavior and adjust the temperature to meet your family’s needs and save energy, while others adjust based on the number of people in a room. And several can now be operated via voice-controlled virtual assistants.

“Many of these smart home features are surprisingly easy and affordable to install,” Lewis says. “Sellers who are open to the idea of investing a little money to possibly help get a speedier sale, may want to consider adding the smart features buyers will be looking for in 2017.”

READER NOTICE:

Jean Nidetch, a co-founder of Weight Watchers, said, “It’s choice -- not chance -- that determines your destiny.”

That is not always true at the bridge table. Sometimes, as we have seen over the last few days, you make your choice for a line of play, and it is up to chance whether it works or not -- unless it has a probability of 100 percent.

Does declarer have a guaranteed line in today’s deal, or must he choose the approach that is mathematically most likely to work?

West leads a low heart against South’s six-spade contract. What should declarer do?

North blasted straight into Blackwood, eventually putting his partner into six spades when he learned that two kings were missing.

South starts with 11 winners: six spades, one heart, three diamonds and one club. There are two obvious chances to make this small slam: Either the heart or club finesse works.

But there is a third line; do you see it?

If East has the heart king, the slam is laydown with an endplay. Declarer wins with dummy’s heart ace, draws trumps, cashes his diamond winners and exits with a heart. Assuming East takes that trick, he must either lead a club around to the dummy or concede a ruff-and-sluff (South sluffs a club from his hand and ruffs on the board). Note also that if West does produce the heart king, the club finesse is still available.

Finally, yes, it would have been simpler if North had signed off in six no-trump. North has 12 tricks after taking the club finesse, even if it loses.

PUBLIC NOTICE

The McHenry County Division of Transportation has applied for Incidental Take Authorization to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Office of Resource Conservation, concerning the following species.

State Endangered: Slippershell mussel (Alasmidonta viridis) McHenry County Division of Transportation mailing address: McHenry County Division of Transportation ATTN: Mr. Benjamin Redding 16111 Nelson Road Woodstock, IL 60098 The location of the site where replacement of the existing roadway bridge may impact the listed species is Illinois, McHenry County, O'Brien Road at Nippersink Creek in Hebron; Township 46N, Range 7E, Sections 19 and 30, East of the Third Principal Meridian. The subject bridge is located along O'Brien Road, approximately 2,500 feet west of Johnson Road and 5,050 feet east of Manley Road.

Proposed work consists of removing the existing bridge superstructure and replacing it with a new reinforced concrete slab superstructure on the existing abutments and piers. Stone riprap will be placed on the abutment slopes and around the piers for scour control. The roadway approaches will be reconstructed to add traffic barrier terminals per IDOT safety policy. The total area of site disturbance is 0.6 acres. The area of impact to Nippersink Creek is 0.09 acres. The activity of removing the existing roadway bridge and construction of a new bridge may take an undetermined amount of Slippershell mussel.

The following measures will be taken to minimize and mitigate the effects of the proposed incidental taking: 1) The work zone footprint has been minimized to reduce impact to mussel habitat; 2) Soil conserving practices, including perimeter erosion barrier, ditch checks, seeding and erosion control blanket, will be implemented to minimize the amount of eroded soil entering the channel; 3) Prior to initiating construction, all mussels within the limits of construction will be moved from their locations to suitable upstream habitat; and 4) the applicant will provide $5,580 to the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County's Urban Stream Research Center for propagation of native mussels.

A copy of the Conservation Plan is available for inspection at (1) the McHenry County Division of Transportation at 16111 Nelson Road, (2) The Illinois Department of Natural Resources website https://www.dnr.illinois.gov/conservation/NaturalHeritage/Pages/Incidental-Take-Authorizations.aspx ITA #148, and (3) The Hebron Public Library, 9908 Saint Albans Street, Hebron, IL 60034.

Comments on the Conservation Plan should be directed to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Office of Resource Conservation, Incidental Take Authorization Coordinator, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield IL 62702 or DNR.ITAcoordinator@illinois.gov.

The Comment period closes thirty (30) days after the final publication of this notice in the Northwest Herald http://www.nwherald.com/contact_us/. This notice will appear for three weeks beginning on 1/26/17.

The final publication date will be 2/9/17. The comment period will end on 3/11/17. Concurrent with the first publication in the Northwest Herald, the notice will be published one time on 1/26/17 in the Breeze Courier out of Taylorville, Illinois, the official State newspaper.
