Undersheriff withdraws complaint Zinke’s lawyer says they did not intend for charge against blogger to go forward By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

In the latest wrinkle in what already has become an acrimonious race for McHenry County sheriff, the letter alleges that someone else wanted the Zinke complaint to move forward to further damage Zinke’s 2014 campaign. But county staff members

counter that the decision was straightforward and not political: Zinke filed a complaint and the McHenry County Ethics Commission was legally bound to move it forward. Gummerson had filed a motion for sanctions against Skinner at the July 25 hearing at which the

Hultgren campaign gets fine of $2.5K By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

The ASSOCIATED PRESS DAMASCUS, Syria – Momentum appeared to build Tuesday for Western military action against Syria, with the U.S. and France saying they are in position for a strike, while the government in Damascus vowed to use all possible measures to repel it. The prospect of a dramatic U.S.-led intervention into Syria’s civil war stemmed from the West’s assertion – still not endorsed by U.N. inspectors – that President Bashar Assad’s government was responsible for an alleged chemical attack on civilians Aug. 21 outside Damascus that the group Doctors Without Borders says killed 355 people. Assad denies the claim. The Arab League also threw its weight behind calls for punitive action, blaming the Syrian government for the attack and calling for those responsible to be brought to justice. British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament to hold an emergency vote Thursday on his country’s response. It is unlikely that any international military action would begin before then. U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said U.S. military forces stand ready to strike Syria at once if President Barack Obama gives the order, and French President Francois Hollande said France was “ready to punish those who took the heinous decision to gas innocents.” Obama is weighing a response focused narrowly on

commission dismissed Skinner’s ethics complaint against Zinke. Skinner alleged that an email sent by Zinke to all 24 members of the County Board amounted to campaigning on taxpayer time and resources.

Multigenerational trend Employees must adapt in workplace By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO • sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com At age 48, Jane Wachter sees herself as a mentor to the many younger workers who have started at Guardian Electric Manufacturing in Woodstock since she began at the company 29 years ago. As the decades have passed, Wachter has seen waves of younger workers eager to mesh with her generation and even the older generations that populate Guardian Electric, which employs a diverse range of workers from their early 20s to their late 60s. The dynamic provides her the opportunity to impart her practical knowledge of a trade that involves building custom-designed parts for the U.S. military, airplane companies and an assortment of other industries.

WOODSTOCK – The Federal Elections Commission slapped U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren’s campaign with a $2,500 fine for failing to report more than $83,000 from his first election in 2010. Under a negotiated agreement hashed out with the FEC, Hultgren for Congress also must strengthen its internal controls to prevent a repeat occurrence, and send a staffer to an FEC seminar. An FEC audit revealed that Randy the campaign Hultgren for the Winfield Republican, first elected in 2010 to the 14th Congressional District, understated its income by $83,278. Of that, more than $74,000 was in contributions and almost $9,000 in loans. Redistricting after the 2010 U.S. Census extended the 14th District to include all of McHenry County except for Algonquin Township. Voters elected Hultgren to a second term in 2012. In a statement, Hultgren for Congress said it cooperated fully with the FEC and adopted its recommendations. The shortcomings identified in the FEC audit were handled through the commission’s alternate dispute resolution system and not its enforcement arm. “We are glad this matter is now closed and look forward to working with the FEC in the future to ensure compliance with its reporting requirements,” the statement said.

Some growing pains were to be expected when Prairie Ridge stepped onto the volleyball court for its season opener Tuesday against Lake Zurich. The Wolves, with four seniors and eight sophomores on the roster, got off to a rough start, falling behind 16-9 in Game 1 and couldn’t recover en route to a 2-0 (25-16, 25-18) loss.

The promise of a $150,000 grant has helped Harvard repair a broken down road on the north end of town. With help from state Sen.

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

College years have power to transform teens Forgive me for being a little nostalgic, but my niece Gabriella starts college this week. She is a freshman at Columbia College in Chicago, just a few miles down the road from Northwestern, where I spent my undergraduate days. It’s brought back a lot of fond memories, as well as painful ones. Those years in Evanston, with frequent trips to Chicago, played a large role in forging the person I am today, as these upcoming years no doubt will do for Gab. For me, it was the first time I had been away from my parents for more than a week or two at a time. It was the first time I didn’t have someone looking over my shoulder to make sure I ate three times a day, did my laundry and got up in the morning to go to class. Whether I succeeded or failed depended entirely on me. Good thing I already had been

VIEWS Joan Oliver helped to see the value of following through and being responsible. No doubt that kept me from a lot of heartache, though I scarcely realized it at the time. I remember how overwhelming everything felt. I’d sit beside Lake Michigan, looking south at Chicago’s skyline, and I’d think about how lucky I was to be there. My family couldn’t afford to send me to NU, but here I was, and it was an opportunity for which I remain grateful today. I’m also happy for the many lessons I learned that had little to do with the literature I read or the papers I wrote.

I learned to consider the source whenever I get advice. That lesson came courtesy of taking directions from an NU wrestler who thought nothing of sending a female freshman to the South Side of Chicago via the “L” train. I lived to tell that tale, but it’s a doozy. I learned that sometimes people will get what they can from you and then toss you aside, like the elite sorority girls who would befriend me for classes and then refuse to acknowledge me when they were over. Sadly, I fell for that one more than once. I learned to stand up for what matters. My editors at the Daily Northwestern weren’t happy when I decided to put my homework ahead of spending every waking hour in the newsroom, but it’s a decision I still don’t regret. And I learned to lean on other people when times get tough. In those

four years, I endured the death of my beloved father, the murder of one of my sorority’s pledges and the suicide of someone in my extended circle of friends. These were life lessons that have served me well in the decades since. Amid all that were many happy times, too, filled with concerts, fraternity and sorority formals, an internship in Kansas City, Mo., and summers working in downtown Chicago. In the end, it was a journey that took me from adolescence to adulthood. And it’s a journey Gabriella is embarking on now. I hope she enjoys the ride, because those years will go by far faster than she knows.

Some school districts quit healthier lunch program By CAROLYN THOMPSON The Associated Press After just one year, some schools around the country are dropping out of the healthier new federal lunch program, complaining that so many students turned up their noses at meals packed with whole grains, fruits and vegetables that the cafeterias were losing money. Federal officials say they don’t have exact numbers but have seen isolated reports of schools cutting ties with the $11 billion National School Lunch Program, which reimburses schools for meals served and gives them access to lower-priced food. Districts that rejected the

Count on Me... Bob Sharp

program say the reimbursement was not enough to offset losses from students who began avoiding the lunch line and bringing food from home or, in some cases, going hungry. “Some of the stuff we had to offer, they wouldn’t eat,” said Catlin, Ill., Superintendent Gary Lewis, whose district saw a 10 to 12 percent drop in lunch sales, translating to a $30,000 lost under the program last year. “So you sit there and watch the kids, and you know they’re hungry at the end of the day, and that led to some behavior and some lack of attentiveness,” Lewis said. In upstate New York, a few districts have quit the

program, including the Schenectady-area Burnt Hills Ballston Lake system, whose five lunchrooms ended the year $100,000 in the red. Near Albany, Voorheesville Superintendent Teresa Thayer Snyder said her district lost $30,000 in the first three months. The program didn’t even make it through the school year after students repeatedly complained about the small portions and apples and pears went from the tray to the trash untouched. Districts that leave the program are free to develop their own guidelines. Voorheesville’s chef began serving dishes such as salad topped with flank steak and crumbled cheese, pasta with chicken

Back-to-School Special

and mushrooms, and a panini with chicken, red peppers and cheese. In Catlin, soups and fish sticks will return to the menu this year, and the hamburger lunch will come with yogurt and a banana — not one or the other, like last year. Nationally, about 31 million students participated in the guidelines that took effect last fall under the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. Dr. Janey Thornton, deputy undersecretary for USDA’s Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services, which oversees the program, said she is aware of reports of districts quitting but is still optimistic about the program’s long-term prospects.

Obama holds Martin Luther King as personal hero By DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Barack Obama was 2 years old and growing up in Hawaii when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Fifty years later, the nation’s first black president will stand as the most high-profile example of the racial progress King espoused, delivering remarks Wednesday at a nationwide commemoration of the 1963 demonstration for jobs, economic justice and racial

equality. Obama believes his success in attaining the nation’s highest political office is a testament to the dedication of King and others, and that he would not be the current Oval Office occupant if it were not for their willingness to persevere through repeated imprisonments, bomb threats, and blasts from billy clubs and fire hoses. “When you are talking about Dr. King’s speech at the March on Washington, you’re talking about one of the maybe five greatest speeches in American history,” Obama

said in a radio interview Tuesday. “And the words that he spoke at that particular moment, with so much at stake, and the way in which he captured the hopes and dreams of an entire generation, I think is unmatched.” In tribute, Obama keeps a bust of King in the Oval Office and a framed copy of the program from that historic day when 250,000 people gathered for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Within five years, the man Obama would later identify as one of his idols was dead, assassinated in April 1968 out-

side of a motel room in Memphis, Tenn. But King’s dream didn’t die with him. Many believe it came true in 2008 when Obama became the first black man Americans ever elected as their president. “Tomorrow, just like 50 years ago, an African-American man will stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and speak about civil rights and justice. But afterward, he won’t visit the White House. He’ll go home to the White House,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Tuesday, speaking of his basketball

CHICAGO – Metra has named an interim executive director to lead the suburban Chicago commuter rail agency as it deals with fallout from allegations of improper dealings with politicians. The agency’s board of directors on Tuesday put operations chief Don Orseno in charge.

The previous CEO, Alex Clifford, resigned in June and says he was forced out for resisting pressure over personnel and contract decisions from politicians, including House Speaker Michael Madigan. Madigan has denied wrongdoing. The accusations prompted investigations by the state’s

time to reflect on how far the country has come and how far it still has to go, particularly after the Trayvon Martin shooting trial in Florida. A jury’s decision to acquit neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman in the 2012 fatal shooting of the unarmed, 17-year-old black teen outraged blacks across the country last month and reignited a nationwide discussion about the state of U.S. race relations. The response to the verdict also raised expectations for America’s black president to say something about the case.

buddy and boss. “That’s how far this country has come. A black president is a victory that few could have imagined 50 years ago.” “He stands on the shoulders of Martin Luther King, and the sacrifices that King made that make a President Obama possible are deeply humbling to him,” said Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama’s senior advisers and a close family friend. For Obama, the march is a “seminal event” and part of his generation’s “formative memory.” A half century after the march, he said, is a good

inspector general and a House ethics panel. They also led some lawmakers to call Clifford’s $718,000 severance deal “hush money.” Five of Metra’s 11 board members have resigned. Orseno has worked in the rail industry for four decades in positions ranging from locomotive engineer to senior management.

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn rejected a bill Tuesday that would have allowed Illinois’ mass transit agencies to spend more on projects without giving public notice or going through a bidding process, a decision the Chicago Democrat indirectly linked to a hiring scandal at Metra. The legislation would have increased the no-bid limit to $40,000 from $10,000. But in his veto message Quinn said there are major problems with public transportation in the Chicago region. He then plugged his recently formed task force that is coming up with reforms for Metra as the commuter rail agency deals with fallout from allegations of improper dealings with politicians. Quinn’s panel, which includes former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, also will look at the Regional Transit Authority that oversees Metra, PACE and the Chicago Transit Authority. “It is clear that the current mass transit governance system in Northeastern Illinois

A driver gets the thumbs-up Tuesday at a security checkpoint to enter the Lawrence William Judicial Center as the sentencing phase for Maj. Nidal Hasan continues in Fort Hood, Texas. Hasan was convicted of killing 13 of his unarmed comrades in the deadliest attack ever on a U.S. military base.

Fraud alleged by inhouse doctors’ firm CHICAGO – Prosecutors have announced arrests in a health care fraud case that allegedly extended to several states. The U.S. attorney’s office said agents arrested Tuesday the CEO of Chicago-based Mobile Doctors and one of its physicians. Mobile Doctors operates in six states including Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Texas. Its website says its doctors have made more than 400,000 house calls since the company’s founding in 1996. Agents executed search warrants at offices in Chicago, Detroit and Indianapolis. The warrants also sought more than $2.5 million in allegedly fraudulent proceeds. Prosecutors say the scheme involved fraudulently increasing Medicare bills for in-home visits, including by indicating treatments were more complicated than they were.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT HOOD, Texas – The Army psychiatrist who fatally shot 13 people at Fort Hood decided not to present any evidence during his trial’s penalty phase Tuesday, even though jurors are deciding whether to sentence him to death. Maj. Nidal Hasan rested his case without calling witnesses or testifying to counter the emotional testimony from victims’ relatives, who talked of eerily quiet homes, lost futures, alcoholism and the unmatched fear of hearing a knock on their front door. Prosecutors hope the testimony helps convince jurors to hand down a rare military death sentence against Hasan, who was convicted last week for the 2009 attack that also wounded more than 30 people at the Texas military base. The judge dismissed jurors after Hasan declined to put up

a defense. But after the jury left the courtroom, she asked Hasan more than two dozen questions in rapid fire, affirming that he knew what he was doing. His answers were succinct and just as rapid. “It is my personal decision,” he said. “It is free and voluntary.” The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, then read aloud several court opinions to back up her decision not to introduce evidence in Hasan’s favor on her own. “In other words, Maj. Hasan, you are the captain of your own ship,” Osborn said. Closing arguments are scheduled for Wednesday, but whether jurors will hear from Hasan remains unclear. He has been acting as his own attorney but has put up nearly no defense since his trial began three weeks ago. The trial’s penalty phase,

He was schedule to report to prison Tuesday, but is now set to begin serving a four-month sentence in early September.

Tax cut battle turns Sierra fires left forest ready to burn intense in Missouri By TRACIE CONE

The Associated Press

By DAVID A. LIEB The Associated Press JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Millions of dollars spent broadcasting ads. Alarming fliers and phone calls targeting homes. Politicians barnstorming from one news conference to the next. By most measures, Missouri appears in the midst of another high-stakes election – except there is nothing on the ballot this year. The massive campaign is meant to persuade – or dissuade – a few wavering Missouri lawmakers who will decide in September whether to override the governor’s veto of the state’s first income tax rate cut in nearly a century. The Missouri battle is one of the most the intense yet in what has become a nationwide offensive by conservatives in state capitols to slice the income taxes that for decades have formed the financial foundation for government services ranging from public schools to prisons. They contend the tax cuts are the path to economic prosperity. Others forecast financial ruin. About a dozen states already have cut income taxes this year, including sweeping changes to tax codes in Kansas and North Carolina and a ratcheting down of rates in Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin. Conservative lawmakers who gathered at a conference this month in Chicago received a how-to pep talk meant to spread the tax-cutting movement even further in 2014. “This is a national agen-

da – there’s a lot of other people that have interest in trying to create jobs in America,” said Travis Brown, a St. Louis-based lobbyist and convention speaker who has traveled to 29 states this year promoting lower income taxes. One of Brown’s biggest benefactors, retired investment firm executive Rex Sinquefield, has poured about $2.4 million into an advertising campaign meant to encourage Missouri’s Republican-led Legislature to override Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon’ veto of the tax cut. The campaign includes the state’s biggest businesses associations and conservative activist groups such as the Missouri Club for Growth, which has threatened to drop support of any lawmaker who opposes the tax cut. The tax-cut plan even has gotten the attention of Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a potential 2016 presidential candidate who seized upon Nixon’s veto to target Missouri with TV and radio ads recruiting businesses to Texas. Perry is to headline an event Thursday in suburban St. Louis sponsored by a coalition pushing for a veto override. Opponents of the tax cut have responded with mass mailings and phone calls targeting residents in 15 House districts whose Republican legislators seemed susceptible to being swayed. They have been aided by public school boards warning the tax cut would jeopardize education funding and undermine the economy.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Unnaturally long intervals between wildfires and years of drought primed the Sierra Nevada for the explosive conflagration chewing up the rugged landscape on the edge of Yosemite National Park, forestry experts say. The fire had ravaged 282 square miles by Tuesday, the biggest in the Sierra’s recorded history and one of the largest on record in California. Containment increased to 20 percent but the number of destroyed structures rose to 101 and some 4,500 structures remained threatened. The types of lost buildings were not specified. Firefighters were making stands at Tuolumne City and other mountain communities. The blaze was just 40 acres when it was discovered Aug. 17 near a road in Stan-

Female general: Ability, confidence propel career AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – The first woman to lead the Air Force Academy said she has faced resistance and sexual harassment in her career, but competence and confidence helped her push through the ranks to one of the top jobs in the service. Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson said in an interview Tuesday she isn’t surprised that 32 years passed between her graduation from the academy in 1981 – in the second class to include women – and her appointment as its first female superintendent. “It takes 32 years to make a lieutenant general,” she said referring to the experience and training it takes to reach the three-star rank required for the superintendent’s job. She became superintendent Aug. 12 at a time the military is under increasing pressure from Congress and the president to prevent sexual assaults. The Pentagon estimated in May that up to 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year. A series of sexual assault scandals made clear how serious the problem is, including allegations of misconduct against officers who led sexual assault prevention programs and a commander overturning a sexual assault conviction. Johnson acknowledged she suffered sexual harassment but didn’t provide specifics. “It’s not been a systematic thing,” she said. Her response was along the lines of “Knock it off,” she said. Johnson brushed aside questions about whether the military as a whole is improving and whether changes proposed by Congress would help, but she said the academy is making progress. The number of sexual assault victims at the academy who are willing to provide information to investigators and prosecutors has risen about 50 percent in the past six months, she said, although the overall numbers are small. An academy spokesman said later that specific num-

had surpassed 179,400 acres, becoming the seventh-largest California wildfire in records dating to 1932. Federal forest ecologists say that historic policies of fire suppression to protect Sierra timber interests left a century’s worth of fuel in the fire’s path.

“That’s called making the woodpile bigger,” said Hugh Safford, an ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service in California. Two years of drought and a constant slow warming across the Sierra Nevada also worked to turn the Rim Fire into an inferno. For years forest ecologists have warned that Western wildfires will only get worse. “Every year the summer temperatures are a little warmer, hence the conditions for burning are a little more auspicious,” said Safford. “People can deny it all they want but it’s happening. Every year the fuels are a little bit drier.” The Rim Fire’s exponential growth slowed only after hitting areas that had burned in the past two decades, and Safford says that shows the utility of prescribed and natural burns that clear brush and allow wildfires to move rapidly without killing trees.

The Science The Treatment

Symptoms of a herniated disc can vary depending on the location of the herniation and the type of soft tissue involved. In many cases severe and unrelenting pain will radiate into the region served by an affected nerve root that is irritated or impinged by the herniated material.

Spinal decompression gently pulls the vertebral joints apart. It is believed this precise process produces a negative pressure inside the disc causing any herniated material to slowly recede away from the affected nerve root and back into the disc.

It is also believed through this process the disc is re-hydrated, aiding in its restoration.

Healthy Disc. This is the goal of our treatment, to return your disc to it’s healthy state so you can live life free from pain and begin to enjoy life once again!

Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy targets a speciﬁc disc or trouble area. It creates a vacuum effect inside the disc, allowing the center of the disc to be reabsorbed into its proper position. When the herniated material in the disc has receded, the nerves in the disc are able to heal, eliminating the patient’s pain. It may sound painful, but it’s not. Patients are ﬁtted with a support system, then positioned on a comfortable spinal decompression table. The support system stabilizes the patient’s body so the therapy can focus on the affected area of the spine. Once on the table, an advanced computer system elongates the spine in a slow, gentle manner.This relieves pressure on compressed discs.

New U.S. Air Force Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson after an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press at Johnson’s office at the Air Force Academy, near Colorado Springs, Colo. bers on recent months weren’t available yet. Johnson said the academy emphasizes caring for the victims of sexual assault and teaching cadets about the broad range of sexual violations, from harassment to violent assault. “I think we’re on to something here,” she said. The academy opened its doors to women in 1976, and Johnson enrolled the next year, in “the bow wave of history,” she said. She became the school’s first female Rhodes scholar and first female cadet wing commander. She played varsity basketball all four years at the academy and is the women’s second-highest alltime scorer with 1,706 points. Not everyone was happy to see women as cadets, she said. “When I showed up, it was about change, and not everybody is happy about change,” she said. Johnson said she proved her worth at the controls of jet-powered C-141 cargo planes and KC-10 aerial fueling planes, and in her 20s, often commanded aircraft crews of men old enough to be her father. “That opens a lot of doors,” she said.

The Goal The decompression doctor’s primary goal is to relieve the patient’s pain. It is extremely important to accurately diagnose the cause of the patient’s condition. The doctor

will perform a physical evaluation, review all previously existing data such as MRI or X-Ray to be certain the patient is a candidate for the decompression procedure.

By KELVIN CHAN The Associated Press HONG KONG – From India to Indonesia, the currencies and stock markets of emerging economies have been roiled by speculation about when the U.S. Federal Reserve will start scaling back monetary stimulus that has kept interest rates ultra-low and sent investors to developing markets in search of higher returns. Separately, Asian economies that had been star performers are now in the dumps and the ebbing investment tide has sparked fears the region will suffer a rerun of its 1997-98 financial crisis.

Cairo curfew sparks defiance and boredom The ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO – In every corner of the Egyptian capital, a bustling city of 18 million that rarely sleeps, people are locked up in their homes at night under a military-imposed curfew that has driven people up the walls, sometimes literally.

the Fed’s cheap money policy is having a sobering effect. Investors are being lured back to advanced economies such as the U.S., where growth is recovering, while Asia’s prospects look less attractive as China shifts into a lower gear after years of torrid expansion. The pain is being felt most in India and Indonesia, where the investor exodus has sent currencies plummeting, threatening to fan inflation and widen current account deficits. The two governments have been forced to step in with measures aimed at boosting confidence. Also feeling the heat is Malaysia, where the central bank this month slashed its 2013 economic growth forecast to 4.5 to 5 percent from 6 percent. In Thailand, the economy contracted unexpectedly in the second quarter.

economies no longer keep their currencies at fixed rates, so they don’t have to mount costly defenses against attacks by speculators trying to devalue them. Thailand spent billions of dollars in a failed attempt to prop up the baht in 1997. Asian countries have also amassed big foreign currency reserves, which central banks can tap in emergencies. Even troubled India has about $270 billion in foreign exchange reserves, equivalent to about five months of imports, compared with less than one month’s worth back in 1990 when India suffered a balance of payments crisis, according to Fitch analysts. Many are also running surpluses in their current accounts, which show trade and investment income balances. In the 1990s, many were in deficit, meaning they needed to borrow foreign capital to keep their economies and banking systems running. The main exceptions today are India and Indonesia.

withdrawal of foreign investment from Thailand triggered a banking and currency crisis. The contagion spread rapidly to neighboring countries and to Russia and Brazil, even as central bankers worked furiously to calm the markets. But this time, many analysts say the turmoil is unlikely to explode into a full-blown crisis because Asian countries are better equipped to deal with sudden shifts in investor sentiment. “Everybody’s quite worried about Fed tapering,” said David Carbon, head of economic research at DBS Bank in Singapore, referring to withdrawal of the central bank’s extraordinary stimulus. “That’s natural. At some point the Fed’s going to go back to normality. That doesn’t mean the end of Asia.”

Local, national experts credit trend to older generation working longer • MULTIGENERATIONAL Continued from page A1 “You always want your children to succeed and do better, and that’s how we look at the younger generation coming in,” Wachter said. “We want all these younger kids coming in to take this company to the next level. We are like a parent to these guys.” Guardian Electric is not the only company to have such a diverse range of experiences and personalities in its workplace. For the first time in history, businesses generally are having to manage employees spanning four generations, from the pre-baby boomers who make up the “Greatest Generation” to the 20-something Millennials who ushered in the digital age. Local and national experts credit the multigenerational trend to older people working longer out of economic necessity as they recover from the Great Recession. Managers now bear the greatest responsibility, having to mix and match various characteristics to ensure their business produces at the highest levels and maintains its cultural identity. That often can be a tall order. Older workers – baby boomers and people in their 70s – prefer a structured, authoritative environment where work is handed from the top down. They are loyal to a single employer and dedicated to tasks, preferring to take ownership when jobs go awry. Younger workers, primarily the Millennials, prefer more of a balance between their work and personal lives. These tech-savvy workers tend to jump often from job to job, don’t shy away from confrontation and prefer an open work environment. Richard Bruce, a business instructor at McHenry County College, constantly makes

his younger students aware of these generational differences, reminding them that they often will have to work with people in their 60s and 70s who have a vastly different approach to work. “The Millennials want people to do more for them than what the baby boomers do,” Bruce said. “I see that in the classroom, too. You see people laid off who are trying to start anew and they are driven. They have mortgages or kids, things that a lot of traditional students don’t have.” Despite the different work ethics, younger workers likely will have a greater influence on older workers for their propensity to challenge the status quo, Bruce said. Older workers, however, bring valuable institutional memory to the workplace, he said. “The baby boomers think about things one way, where the younger generation is more willing to look at things differently,” Bruce said. “The baby boomers know how it used to be done. The Millennials know how it is done with technology.” At Guardian Electric, owner Kevin Kelly saw the changes a younger and more diverse workplace can have on his company. Kelly invests significant money into training his workforce and has adapted the company’s environment to ensure that younger workers, with their tendency to move to a new job every couple of years, stay at Guardian Electric. Sensing their need for challenge, Kelly frequently shifts younger, and older, workers into different roles within the company to keep the workplace fresh for his employees. “They use a cross-cultural experience, from design skill sets of the younger generation and the wisdom of the older generation, to problem solve,” Kelly said. “It brings the full perspective.”

Attorney for Skinner says he’s glad complaint is not moving forward • COMPLAINT Continued from page A1 But Gummerson stated in his letter that they never moved forward with the complaint, concluding that the commission’s ruling was satisfactory. Filing a frivolous complaint, as the motion alleged, is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000. “I believe that whatever request led to the Aug. 29 hearing was made for political reasons in an attempt to embroil this independent commission into a political fight,” Gummerson wrote. “While we steadfastly maintain that Mr. Skinner’s complaint was completely without merit, we do not want to allow this matter to be turned into a three-ring circus nor [sic] this commission to be misused.” Zinke is running to replace his boss, Sheriff Keith Nygren, who is not seeking re-election. He faces a March primary challenge from Des Plaines Police Cmdr. Bill Prim, and

the winner would face in November 2014 independent candidate Jim Harrison, a labor lawyer and former sheriff’s deputy. Skinner filed an ethics complaint against Zinke alleging that an email he sent to County Board members – disputing Skinner’s blog postings and pictures alleging that Zinke gave him the middle finger at a parade – violated the county’s ban on using taxpayer resources to campaign. The email was sent on Zinke’s work email during work hours, and made multiple references to his candidacy for sheriff. Gummerson called his motion for sanctions against Skinner a placeholder in case his client decided to move forward with pursuing it. But that’s not the way the Ethics Commission, on advice from legal counsel from the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office, saw it. The commission had asked whether its ruling ending Skinner’s complaint also

ended Zinke’s motion for sanctions, Deputy County Administrator John Labaj said. Assistant State’s Attorney Brandy Quance, who attended the hearing, said it did not. “Procedurally, Mr. Gummerson filed the motion, and it was never withdrawn or dismissed,” Quance said. Skinner attorney Robert Hanlon said Tuesday that he still plans to attend Thursday’s hearing, unless he receives official notice that the complaint is withdrawn. Given complaints of how the commission handled its first-ever hearing – which the commission plans to discuss Thursday – Hanlon said he will play it safe. Hanlon said he is glad that the complaint against Skinner is not moving forward. “I’m pleased that candidate Zinke and attorney Gummerson realize that it’s not in their best interest to continue to promulgate these claims,” Hanlon said. But to Gummerson, it was opponents of Zinke who want-

Syria: ‘We have the means to defend ourselves’ • SYRIA Continued from page A1 punishing Assad for violating international agreements that ban the use of chemical weapons. Officials said the goal was not to drive Assad from power or impact the broader trajectory of Syria’s bloody civil war, now in its third year. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday the West should be under no illusion that bombing Syrian military targets would help end the violence in Syria, an ally of Moscow, and he pointed to the volatile situations in Iraq and Libya that he said

resulted from foreign military intervention. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said his country would use “all means available” to defend itself. “We have the means to defend ourselves and we will surprise everyone,” he said. At a news conference in Damascus, al-Moallem challenged Washington to present proof to back up its accusations and he also likened the allegations to false American charges in 2003 that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction before the U.S.led invasion of that country. “They have a history of lies – Iraq,” he said.

Not Hultgren’s 1st campaign complaint • HULTGREN Continued from page A1 Hultgren will face a Democratic challenger next year in Dennis Anderson, who Hultgren handily defeated in his 2012 re-election bid. This is not the first campaign finance complaint filed against Hultgren’s campaign. A complaint during his 2010 campaign alleged that Hultgren’s committee for his for-

mer state Senate seat illegally made two $1,000 contributions to his federal campaign, and failed to report the second. Federal law prohibits the transfer of funds and assets from a nonfederal campaign to a federal one. The FEC dismissed the case after Hultgren for Congress refunded the two contributions and amended its disclosure reports to reflect the accurate information, according to records.

ed the claims promulgated. He noted that State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi is openly supporting Prim’s campaign. “I’m not going to give anyone the ability to use this commission as a political pawn,” Gummerson said. Allegations of using the power of law enforcement to go after political rivals are no small subject in McHenry County, where taxpayers have spent at least $780,000 on special prosecutors whose charges against Bianchi were thrown out of court. A McHenry County judge has since rejected calls for special prosecutors to investigate Nygren’s use of a seven-point sheriff’s star for political purposes, and to investigate allegations that Zinke tipped off a campaign contributor to an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. State lawmakers last year passed a law, inspired by McHenry County politics, that makes it harder for judges to appoint taxpayer-funded special prosecutors.

Dr. King’s dream, 50 years later Fifty years ago today, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to a crowd of more than 200,000 people in Washington. The speech became the historic keynote of one of the largest political rallies for civil rights in U.S. history. The sound bite history best remembers – “I have a dream For the record that my four little children will one America has come a long way day live in a nasince slavery and Jim Crow tion where they laws. But we have a ways to go will not be judged to achieve Martin Luther King’s by the color of ultimate dream. their skin, but by the content of their character” – came 11 minutes into King’s 16-minute speech. King said much more that day. He spoke of the black communities living in poverty amid America’s material prosperity, and of the need to end segregation and discrimination immediately because freedom denied one group in America is freedom denied to all. King spoke of his belief in nonviolence and of his dream that Americans of all races one day would be united in the brotherhood of freedom. Were he alive today, he no doubt would say that America’s journey to “the sunlit path of racial justice” is not over. There has been progress. Jim Crow is dead. So are laws aimed at disenfranchising blacks. Racist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan have been marginalized. Police no longer would turn attack dogs and fire hoses on black protesters, as they did in Birmingham, Ala., in 1963. But many blacks and other minorities still complain of police harassment for “driving while black” or “driving while brown.” They still suffer the suspicions of strangers, as the case surrounding the death of Trayvon Martin showed. The ghettoes remain, as does the segregation, which is enforced in practice rather than by law, and as much in the Chicago region as any in America. Many of the neighborhoods on Chicago’s south and west sides are more than 90 percent black, along with many suburbs. In some of those neighborhoods, workers are needed to ensure that local children have “safe passage” to cross gang territories to get to school. It is dramatically different from the walks and bus rides taken by many of the children in our communities to their neighborhood schools. It is not equality of opportunity. The effects of 300 years of slavery and statesponsored discrimination cannot be undone in a mere 50 years. But we must keep striving and working toward that day when we all will be “free at last.”

8ANOTHER VIEW

Assad’s outrage Convinced that Syrian dictator Bashar Assad wielded chemical weapons against civilians last week, the Obama administration is considering a military response, according to senior officials. The “large-scale, indiscriminate use” of chemical weapons was a “moral obscenity,” as Secretary of State John F. Kerry said Monday, and some response is needed. But it needs to be part of a larger strategy aimed at influencing the outcome of Syria’s war. For more than two years, President Barack Obama has avoided crafting such a strategy. When Assad answered peaceful demonstrations with brutality, the administration did little beyond condemn the violence. Assisted by Iran, its terrorist proxy Hezbollah and weapons supplies from Russia, Assad went to war against his own people, indiscriminately firing missiles into civilian neighborhoods. More than 100,000 people have been killed, with millions more injured or displaced from their homes. The dangerous outcomes that Obama worried might be precipitated by U.S. involvement have mostly come about in the absence of such involvement. Syria has become a haven for thousands of fighters affiliated with al-Qaida. Violence has spread to neighboring states, especially Lebanon and Iraq. U.S. allies Turkey and, especially, Jordan are in danger of being overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees. The United States can’t dictate the outcome in Syria, and it would be foolish to send ground troops in an effort to do so. But by combining military measures with training, weapons supplies and diplomacy, it could exercise considerable influence. The Washington Post

8IT’S YOUR WRITE We will prevail To the Editor: The United States of America is a relatively young nation compared with others. From the start of our country, many people have fought and died for our way of life. Some may think we grew too fast. It seems that the past 30 years or so, for every step forward, we move two steps backward, repeating mistakes from the past. Whether it was our mistakes, or other countries, it is part of history and we have yet to learn from it. Lately, we have immigrants, legal and illegal, that are in our country wanting to change it. They want to change our way of life and laws to that of the country they came from. Years ago when immigrants came to our country, when they stepped foot on our soil, they would kiss the ground and be thankful for a chance to become an American citizen and be part of our country. We are a resilient country; we will get back on track. To those who come to our country and want to change it to the country they came from, I say, “We did not invite you here. If you do not like our way of life and laws, feel free to leave.” This is the United States of

America, our country. Yes, we are in dark times now, but stand up for our Constitution and vote responsibly! We will prevail if that happens. James Korjenek Wonder Lake

As stupid does To the Editor: Forrest Gump said, “stupid is as stupid does.” This newspaper has written a lot about the condition of the state of Illinois, and I do agree with all its views and editorials. Illinois is in bad shape. We are one of the most taxed states and our education system is a mess. We have more government than any other state. We are broke, but Springfield keeps spending more. McHenry County has 18 townships, yet we have 24 members on the County Board. Wait a minute, where did the other six come from? How did we get in such a mess? Stupid is as stupid does.

tion of commercial and investment banks? His response has been a standard form letter thanking me for contacting him. Without this legislation, the public will continue to be at risk until commercial banks are prohibited from engaging in speculative activity. Detroit is being bankrupted by interest rate “swaps” based on banker-rigged LIBOR rates. This would be prohibited under GlassSteagall. Needless to say, the creditors who knowingly engaged in these swaps are now demanding to be paid out of the pensions and health care of the municipal employees.

Actor Ashton Kutcher offers words to live by Ashton Kutcher, the 35-year-old actor and ex-husband of actress Demi Moore, never has been considered a poster child for the “family values crowd,” but at the Teen Choice Awards two weeks ago, he easily could have passed for one. Following screams from young female fans in the audience, Kutcher silenced them with a motivational message that bordered on inspiration. He told them: “I believe that opportunity looks a lot like hard work. ... I’ve never had a job in my life that I was better than. I was always just lucky to have a job. And every job I had was a steppingstone to my next job, and I never quit my job until I had my next job.” Kutcher wasn’t through: “The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart and being thoughtful and being generous. Everything else is crap ... that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t buy it. Be smart, be thoughtful and be generous.” That such remarks would gain so much attention is indicative of where we are as a nation. One way to take the cultural temperature is to observe how ancient wisdom suddenly sounds new, even radical. Not many Millennials are hearing this message. Maybe some get it from their parents, but many teens and young adults don’t discover such wisdom until they are parents, if then. For older adults, Kutcher’s remarks are so obvious that when they were teens they

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

VIEWS Cal Thomas would have been unremarkable and nearly universally believed, if not always practiced. They resonate today because of the dire condition of the nation’s economy and because of moral libertarianism – whatever feels good goes; whatever works for the individual is right, even if the good of society suffers. More and more people seem to be looking for a lifeline. Kutcher threw them one. Radio host Rush Limbaugh said of many of today’s young people: “There is a fog of depression ... There’s pessimism ... and it’s because they do not think there’s any prosperity left for them. ... They don’t think there’s any money to be earned; it’s all gone. Their parents’ and grandparents’ generation were the last ones that really had it made. And they’re certainly not hearing this kind of message from anybody in politics that they vote for.” Kutcher has described himself as “a fiscally conservative, socially liberal independent.” He supports gay rights and same-sex marriage. Though raised a Roman Catholic in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he has dabbled in Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism.

No one can typecast him as a soldier for religious conservatism. He is a supporter of President Barack Obama, but doesn’t like his health-care plan. The road to success remains what it has always been: hard work, believing in yourself, never taking “no” as the final answer, and making right moral choices. These have been proved throughout history to better any life and improve even the worst of circumstances. If we know such things to be true, why are they not taught and modeled in today’s culture? For many, it could lead to less reliance on government. Politicians would become less necessary. If such principles were again taught in our public schools, someone might sue for imposing someone’s “moral values” on others. Envy, greed and entitlement are the unholy trinity of failure. What Kutcher offers young people is the opposite, leading to success, self-realization and independence. Here’s one more Kutcherism: “Everything around us that we call life was made up by people that are no smarter than you. And you can build your own things. You can build your own life that other people can live in. So build a life. Don’t live one, build one.” If only Washington politicians would think and talk this way.

MAN GETS THREE YEARS FOR ROBBERY WOODSTOCK – A McHenry man pleaded guilty Tuesday to robbery and was sentenced to three years in prison. Lewis O. Peterson, 22, and two others were charged in June with beating and robbing a man who thought he was being driven to a party. Peterson took $1,000 and a cellphone from the victim, McHenry County Assistant State’s Attorney Robert Zalud said. In exchange for his guilty plea, additional charges against Peterson were dropped, as was a petition to revoke his probation from a 2012 case. Peterson previously was placed on drug court probation after being charged in 2012 with misusing a credit card. McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather, who accepted the plea deal, acknowledged that Peterson’s crimes were the result of an addiction to drugs or alcohol.

New building proposed for Algonquin strip mall By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – A developer has plans to add to the shopping center at the southwest corner of Randall Road and Harnish Drive. E.J. Plesko & Associates, based in Madison, Wis., has proposed building an 8,000-square-foot building on 1.86 acres of land between the Chase Bank and the Sonic Drive-In at the Oakridge Court Shopping Center. The new building is set to house a Kay Jewelers and a Sleepy’s, an East Coast-based mattress chain that has recently expanded into the Chicago area. Village Board members reviewed the proposed project at

their Tuesday meeting of the Committee of the Whole; no action on the proposal was taken at the meeting. Lee Christensen, a senior associate for E.J. Plesko & Associates, said he expects the building to have 15 to 20 employees for both businesses. If approved by the Village Board, which could consider it in September, construction would likely begin three to four weeks after that. Work is expected to last three to four months, Christensen said. The project is estimated to cost about $1.3 million. Kay would have 2,000 square feet. Sleepy’s would occupy 6,000 square feet. If approved, used mattresses have to be kept inside the building or within the trash

enclosure. The project will include vehicular cross access to both the Chase Bank and the Sonic Drive-In. Other stores in the Oakridge Court Shopping Center include J.C. Penney, Toys “R” Us and Binney’s. “The proposed use of this property will provide retail businesses offering convenient and desirable goods and services for residents and visitors in an accessible location,” Teska Associates Senior Planner Todd Vanadilok wrote in a village memo. “The development of this property will also enhance the sales tax revenue and local employment base of the village.” Trustee Robert Smith had

resources. “A lot of these communities have a need to expand, to grow, to have a better quality facility,” White said. “This community, with its expanding population, wanted a better facility to respond to the people’s needs within the community.” White’s office, which manages the state’s library system, doled out $50 million in grant money this year to 20 libraries throughout Illinois, including Marengo-Union, to assist with major construction and remodeling needs.

McCULLOM LAKE: AUG. 17 INCIDENT

McHENRY COUNTY: LIHEAP PROGRAM

Board suspends bar’s liquor license for 2 days

Application period set to begin

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McCULLOM LAKE – All Sports Bar & Grill won’t be able to serve liquor for two days this coming month. The McCullom Lake Village Board voted, 3-2 with one abstention, to suspend the restaurant’s liquor license for two weekdays. The village president, who serves as the liquor commissioner, had originally recommended suspending it for two weekend days. The two trustees who voted “no” also wanted the suspension to be harsher, one pushing for two weekend days and one for at least one weekend. The suspension was triggered by a bar fight that was not reported to police, Village President Terry Counley said, adding that the vil-

“They didn’t give us a chance to explain. Whenever we tried to speak, they belittled us.” Gaylen Wester All Sports owner lage has ongoing issues with All Sports, including other incidents that resulted in verbal warnings and disputes with the village board and police department. “This is unacceptable conduct, so this is what we have to do,” Counley said. All Sports’ owner, Gaylen Wester, had apologized to the board about the Aug. 17 incident, which he characterized as a “simple girl fight” that the bartenders were easily able to break up.

Police had requested the surveillance video, but because Wester and his manager, Jen Baumgartner, had been out of town until Aug. 26, the day of the hearing on their liquor license, they weren’t able to get the video to police sooner, they said. “They didn’t give us a chance to explain,” Wester said. “Whenever we tried to speak, they belittled us.” The 5-year-old business has had not any issues in at least the past year, Wester said. That’s when he brought in Baumgartner to clean house. “It appalled me that they took this action,” Wester said, adding that he has a meeting with his attorney scheduled for Wednesday to decide whether and how to appeal the suspension.

MacLean has spent the past 60 years buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, one of the approximately 800 unidentified servicemen killed during the Korean War buried there. He was declared missing in

The burial with full military honors will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at Windridge Memorial Park Cemetery, 7014 S. Rawson Bridge Road, Cary.

RICHMOND: SCHOOL BOARD ACCEPTS BID

District 157 sells property on West Solon Road, takes loss By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – As District 157 moves ahead with its new transportation and district offices, the school board approved the sale of the property it originally had bought to house those offices. The move means the district takes a loss of $301,600 on the property at 5215 W. Solon Road. The school board voted unanimously to accept the high bid of $233,400 from Travis and Dawn Holian of Richmond, Superintendent Dan Oest said in an email. The other offers ranged from $99,500 to $199,500 and were submitted as part of a sealed bid process.

The district had bought the property in December 2008 for $535,000, but it would have cost the district an additional $1 million to make necessary improvements. Oest did not return a call or email asking whether the district had considered not accepting the bids. The board also could have chosen to go through a traditional sale process or gone through a second bidding process. The school board plans on using land at 4213 Route 12, which it bought in June for $950,000, for the offices. Because the Route 12 property is designed to house something like the planned facility, it will require little renovation, Oest said at the time of the purchase. Nip-

persink Landscape Supply moved from the location last fall. The district has enough money in reserves to cover the cost of purchase and renovation, he has said. District 157 provides busing for the one school it contains, Richmond-Burton Community High School, as well as Nippersink District 2, which covers the same geographic area and contains two elementary schools and a middle school. The two districts have several shared service agreements and share many district staff. The transportation department currently is housed at the high school, where it doesn’t have room for any development or expansion.

The daughter of a Periodontist and the granddaughter of a dental instrument maker, she looks forward to a lifetime of patient care. Her warm, caring attitude has helped her to develop close relationships with her patients. Dr. Sameet Thakrar particularly enjoys working in the Endodontic field doing root canal treatments.

very year, on the first Monday in September, the U.S. and Canada observe a holiday. Many get the day off from their jobs. Children get the day off from school. On Labor Day, (Labour Day in Canada) we honor working people and the dignity of labor.

Standards Link: Mathematics: Combining numbers to compare sums.

The first Labor Day was held just over 100 years ago in New York City.

Find the words in the puzzle, then in this week’s Kid Scoop stories and activities.

To labor means to work. In 1882, many kinds of workers lived in New York City. There were carpenters, bricklayers, furniture-makers, jewelers, printers and more. hile they were proud of their work and what they made, many laborers were unhappy with their long hours, unsafe workplaces and low pay. Many worked seven days a week and 12 or 14 hours a day. Pay was so low that even young children had to work.

This year’s Labor Day parade is off to a strange start. Find at least 10 things wrong in this picture.

Standards Link: Letter sequencing. Recognizing identical words. Skim and scan reading. Recall spelling patterns.

Standards Link: Visual Discrimination.

In the 1880s, New York workers formed groups called craft unions. Bricklayers had their own union. The carpenters had theirs and so did the printers. After a while, these small unions formed a larger union called the Knights of Labor. The Knights of Labor fought for workers’ rights. Their “weapons” were words and votes. They fought to get children out of the factories and the mines. They fought for better pay and safer working environments.

Article Mix-Up

Standards Link: History/Social Science: Students understand working conditions and the rise of the labor movement. Students understand events honored in commemorative holidays. Students understand the difficulties populations have faced in the American culture.

In 1882, a New York City union called the Central Labor Union (C.L.U.) decided to hold a parade and picnic for workers on September 5. The parade would be a chance for workers to show off their work. More than 10,000 marchers showed up that day. Thousands more watched the parade. Many of the people carried signs that told what the workers wanted to change.

Labor Day ABC

Workers all over the country liked the idea of a workers’ holiday. By the 1930s every state in the U.S. celebrated Labor Day. Today we celebrate Labor Day to remember that working people help make our country strong. All workers are important!

Use the letters above to complete the messages on the signs from the 1880s.

Dear Kid Scoop Can you come up with ways to make school fun? I like school. I’m glad to be back in school because I can see my friends every day now. I think that my friends are the best part of school. And they make school fun. Angela, 3rd grade Recess is how to make school fun. I want to have a longer recess and maybe two times in the morning and another two times after lunch. Gregory, 2nd grade

Cut out a newspaper article. Cut the article into four pieces. Give the pieces to a friend to see if he or she can put the article back together in the right order.

School is more fun when you are ready for everything. This means that you have all the right things for class. It also means that you do your homework on time. If you listen to the teacher and not talk, that will also make school fun because that way, you won’t get into trouble. Raelyn, 4th grade

I think that I would be happy in school if I had my own teacher who would explain everything just for me and help me with my homework. Sometimes I don’t want to tell the teacher that I don’t understand but if I had my own teacher, that would make it much easier. Megan, 4th grade

It would be more fun if there were no girls in the class. They can be annoying. Leo, 1st grade I want more sports at school. We have PE twice a week but I think it would be more fun if we could play basketball instead of having math or something. If I played basketball every day, I might become a big star in the NBA. We would become better players and would practice shots and defence. I think that would make school more fun. Dylan, 3rd grade School would be fun if we had ice cream and pizza every day.

We have special assemblies and they make school fun. Special people visit and bring animals, or McGruff comes. We have a dentist visit and he gave everyone in the school a new toothbrush. That was fun. We need more special assemblies. Denis, 5th grade It would be more fun if we played games or had longer time to do art. I like to paint but sometimes there isn’t enough time to finish and we have to go to library or lunch. Sometimes I would like to have more time to finish. Sara, 1st grade

• PRISONER Dill previously pleaded guilty to a Class 2 felony for sexually abusing his daughter’s teenage friend, and was sentenced to five years in prison on the Class 2 felony. Additional charges from two 2009 cases against Dill – one drug-related and the other for possession of child pornography – were dropped in exchange for his guilty plea. The drug case alleges that Dill offered Ritalin – a prescription medication used for treating attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – to a 17-yearold girl. Child pornography depicting unidentified children engaged in sex acts was traced to Dill’s computer, prosecutors said at the time. He pleaded not guilty to those charges.

If they win or improve from their fourth-place finish in the Valley, it also could mean a home playoff game. “We’re going to come back strong, we’re looking good,” tackle Blake Broz said.

LAKE ZURICH 2, PRAIRIE RIDGE 0

‘Rough’ opener for Wolves First-match mistakes plenty in season debut By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Some growing pains were to be expected when Prairie Ridge stepped onto the volleyball court for its season opener Tuesday against Lake Zurich. The Wolves, with four seniors and eight sophomores on the roster, got off to a rough start, falling behind 16-9 in Game 1 and couldn’t recover en route to a 2-0 (25-16, 25-18) loss to Lake Zurich. Most frustrating for the Wolves were correctable mistakes that resulted in easy points for the Bears. Prairie Ridge finished the match with 24 unforced errors, many of which came off poor passes. “I thought we’d be a little shaky because we’ve only played our [junior varsity team],” senior outside hitter Kennedy McNeil said. “But I didn’t think it’d be this rough. We have this week to practice.” Prairie Ridge (0-1) worked to improve its serve receive leading up to Tuesday’s season opener, and the

At 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, Nate Jones is an imposing presence with a fastball that touches 100 mph every now and then. White Sox bullpen coach Bobby Thigpen sees all that, and – once, just once – would like to see Jones change from gentle giant to nasty boy. “I’d like to see him [ticked] off more,” Thigpen said before Jordan Danks capped a three-run eighth inning with a two-run single to rally the Sox to a 4-3 victory Tuesday against the Houston Astros at U.S. Cellular Field. ‘‘More bulldog. Mad at the world when he goes out there. I’d like to see him mad at everybody, have a grudge against every hitter, try to embarrass everybody he can. And he probably could with his stuff.” Thigpen, the Sox’s alltime saves leader with 201, said Jones has no reason not to attack hitters with his stuff, but he’s tentative at times. Thigpen did qualify his wish for Jones to show a mean streak by saying his demeanor has worked well through the 69⅓ innings he has pitched, which ranks second among American League relievers. After two rough months, Jones is 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 43⅓ innings since June 1. In his second majorleague season, Jones has made a fairly smooth transition to the eighth-inning setup role since Jesse Crain’s departure. “His mindset doesn’t differ from day to day, whether he gives up a run or doesn’t,” Thigpen said. “In that sense, he has the right mentality for being a reliever in Chicago.” With no major-league experience, Jones was something of a long shot when he made the Opening Day roster in 2012. “There was a whole lot of hootin’ and hollerin’ goin’ on,” Jones said of the call to his parents and wife back home in Kentucky with the news that he had beaten the odds. Jones gave them more to shout about during the season by going 8-0 with a 2.39 ERA as a rookie. When he struggled in April and May this season, talks with pitching coach Don Cooper and Thigpen got him untracked. “He threw a lot of fastballs, and guys were sitting on fastballs, anticipating and swinging like it,’’ catcher Tyler Flowers said. “So we incorporated more off-speed [stuff], especially earlier in

That has let him shine with all the good things he can do. When you have a hard slider ... and when you can throw 100 (mph), you can put anybody away. And he has a very good change-up that we don’t use as much because the other two pitches are so good.” “His slider is 89 or 90 [mph],” Thigpen said. “Must be nice.” And the fastball “has that late explosiveness,” Flowers said. “Even catching it, it really gets on you.’’ Thigpen hoped Jones would get a chance to close when Addison Reed wasn’t available after saving six consecutive games ‘‘just to see how he’d handle it.” Thigpen said Jones pushed too hard in April and May to prove last season wasn’t a fluke and got away from what made him tick. His ERA on June 1 was 6.58, and he had four losses. Jones, 27, won’t be eligible for arbitration until 2015 and won’t qualify for free agency until 2018. Reed, 24, is in the same boat. That’s a lot of quality back-end bullpen labor for cheap, and they’re two reliable pieces for general manager Rick Hahn to build his bullpen around for years to come. “In years to come, I look for him to put up some unbelievable, outstanding numbers,” Thigpen said. “Because with an arm like that, the more you believe in yourself, the better off you’ll be.” Sox starter Jose Quintana’s numbers weren’t bad, but he left during the eighth inning Tuesday trailing 2-1 and was charged with three runs. Quintana struck out eight in 7⅔ innings.

Danks leads Sox to win over Astros CHICAGO – Jordan Danks hit a clutch two-run single in the White Sox’s three-run eighth inning, leading them to a 4-3 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night. Danks finished with a careerhigh three hits as the Sox won for the ninth time in 11 games, bouncing back from a difficult loss in the series opener. Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez and Avisail Garcia had two hits apiece. Matt Dominguez had three hits

BEARS

Offense will be better, but will the ‘D’? LAKE FOREST – With all of the hubbub (I had to try and use that word) surrounding the “new” Bears offense, it is time we all reminded ourselves the 2013 Chicago Bears eventually will go as far as their defense takes them. I already have bought into the offense. I’m comfortable that with the addition of Marc Trestman, Jermon Bushrod, Marcellus Bennett and the maturation of Alshon Jeffery, they already are much better. Obviously, I can’t predict whether or not Jay Cutler will take care of the football, and they are dangerously thin at quarterback, receiver and offensive line. But if the offense stays healthy, it will be the best we’ve seen in Chicago since 1995. Ask yourself this about the defense. At what position(s) is the defense more talented than last year or in recent seasons?

Are the Bears improved over last year or even as good at left defensive end with a choice of either Corey Wootton or Shea McClellin over the departed Israel Idonije? Izzy was the Bears’ second-leading pass rusher last season with 7½ sacks – only Julius Peppers had more with 11½ – and was arguably their best defensive lineman against the run. Wootton could be the Bears’ breakout player of the year this year but he hasn’t done it yet. He did have seven sacks last season while McClellin had only 2½ and is yet to offer any real evidence he will be more of a factor this year. Where is Idonije’s lost production coming from? Nate Collins has had a nice preseason filling in for the concussed Henry Melton. But the cupboard is so bare at defensive tackle after Collins that it appears undrafted rookie

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush free-agent Zach Minter will be the choice as the fourth tackle. Be as excited as you like about rookie middle linebacker Jon Bostic. But are the Bears actually better with Bostic in place of Brian Urlacher, and Lance Briggs forced to do Urlacher’s job as well as his own? James Anderson has been fine at Nick Roach’s “sambacker” spot, but he’s not an upgrade and still has plenty to prove. Now, let’s peek into the secondary, which NFL quarterbacks are going to be doing all season long. Major Wright and Chris Conte both are fine at safety against the run. We’ve known that for a while. But will they

be better against the pass? What is really disconcerting in the defensive backfield is the lack of depth. The loss of Kelvin Hayden for the season leaves the untested Isaiah Frey at the “nickel,” and behind your five starters there is really no one to feel good about should one of the frontliners get nicked. Asked what is left to do heading into the final preseason game, defensive coordinator Mel Tucker replied: “Everything. We’re a work in progress and we talk about getting better each and every day. It’s a constant push to try and get better individually and as a unit. We’re constantly trying to get better, because if you don’t do that you’re going to be in trouble.” To be clear, Tucker wasn’t predicting trouble or expressing concern. His answer was basically coach-speak, but the words could not

have rung any more true. San Francisco, Seattle, Green Bay, Atlanta, New Orleans, Washington and the New York Giants all are going to boast offenses capable of scoring points by the bushel. As improved as the Bears might be on offense, will they be favored in a point-scoring matchup over any of them? Of that group, only San Francisco and Seattle should be clearly better than the Bears on defense. The good news in Chicago these days is that, finally, the defense won’t be asked to get the job done alone. There is no bad news yet, but the question is will the defense still be able to make sure the job gets done?

Blanchard is right, he’ll be back in NFL somewhere • MUSICK Continued from page C1

Bears can control 4 QBs 1

It appears Bears coach Marc Trestman is a fan of keeping three quarterbacks, but even though the Bears liked Matt Blanchard, we can’t say for certain he would have made the team. Now the question becomes will either Jordan Palmer or Trent Edwards get a roster spot, or will the Bears scour the waiver wire for a veteran after this weekend’s cuts? They could keep two quarterbacks and tell Palmer or Edwards to be ready if needed, and that would be a preference if Trestman and Phil Emery decide to keep an extra player at another position with injury questions, like

cornerback or wide receiver.

If there is a position where the Bears might have a surprise coming, it may be receiver. Terrence Toliver, Brittan Golden, Josh Lenz and Joe Anderson all be could gone Saturday, or one or even two could make the final 53.

Perhaps Brandon Marshall still is recovering from hip surgery, or perhaps he’s trying to deal with his spotlight being pointed at Alshon Jeffery. Either way, it’s probably much ado about nothing. – Hub Arkush, harkush@shawmedia.com

see how it goes as we move forward. There are so many variables between now and then.” Maybe Blanchard knew that this week would bring disappointment. After the end of Monday’s practice at the Walter Payton Center, Blanchard lingered on the field long after most of his teammates had left. Eventually, only two players remained: Blanchard and rookie receiver Marquess Wilson, who played a simple yet strange game of catch. Wearing a soft cast on his left hand and holding a football in his right hand, Blanchard cocked his arm and fired hard passes to Wilson. In return, Wilson lobbed

slow, arching passes that Blanchard caught carefully with his lone good hand. At least this marked action for Blanchard, who spent the first part of practice watching teammates Jay Cutler, Josh McCown, Jordan Palmer and Trent Edwards take turns in position drills. “It’s tough,” Blanchard said. “Any injury of any kind puts you in the situation where you have to be a support base to everyone else there. It’s unfortunate you have to watch practice and you have to watch other guys getting reps, but you’ve got to deal with the cards you’re dealt sometimes.” Blanchard, 24, held some promising cards before his luck changed. In the Bears’ preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers, Blanchard

shook off an interception to complete 15 of 18 passes for 194 yards. He was slated for another significant amount of playing time in the team’s second preseason game against the San Diego Chargers, but he was injured after his first pass attempt – a completion to running back Michael Ford. As the preseason unfolded, Blanchard said, he was feeling better than ever. “The confidence level is night and day from where it was last year,” said Blanchard, who spent most of last season on the Bears’ practice squad. “And as far as grasping this offense, I felt really good about going into this preseason. I think it showed in Carolina.” Then came the broken knuckle. The “minor speed bump,” as Blanchard called

it. But Blanchard is used to overcoming setbacks. He never was a prized college recruit at Lake Zurich. He never heard his name called in the NFL draft. Yet even as a teenager, Blanchard believed that he was destined to play in the NFL. “I was very under-recruited – I only got D-II offers,” Blanchard said. “But I always felt as though I was going to get a shot at some point. It was just a weird feeling in me that I felt something good was going to happen.” He was right. He’ll be back.

BEARS NOTEBOOK

Marshall not yet where he wants to be By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – To the naked eye, Brandon Marshall’s drops were the biggest negative from Friday’s game. That might not be a huge concern because it’s only the preseason, but Marshall’s comments to reporters Tuesday at Halas Hall got everyone’s attention. “No, I haven’t,” Marshall said when asked if he’s gotten enough reps. “It’s one of those things where I’m just trying to get healthy for Week 1. So, you’ve got to have a game plan coming off surgery, a third hip surgery. “I’m not where I want to be right now. It’s a little frustrating, but we’ll see.” Marshall did play in 33 snaps in Oakland, the second-most of any skill player (Martellus Bennett was in on 35 snaps). His readiness – or lack thereof – for the start of the season, though, is now in focus. “I think it’s more of a conditioning [thing]. So it’s one of those things where you may be rushed a little bit and some people might think I need to be farther on than where I am,” he said. “So, it’s a little frustrating not being where I want to be right now and maybe being pushed a little bit, so we’ll see.” Jay Cutler, who knows Marshall better than maybe anyone on the team, said he notices that Marshall is not where he can be from a conditioning perspective. “Yeah, you can see it. Conditioning-wise he’s a little behind. He knows where to be. It’s just a matter of him getting out there and pushing his hip through things when it gets tight a little bit,” Cutler said. “I think once we start getting into a routine we’ll really figure out exactly what routes we want him on and where we want him on the field. “Hopefully, things will sharpen up for his hip for him and he’ll be able to make it go.” Quick decisions: Offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer spoke to the media Tuesday for the first time since Friday’s offensive explosion and

he lauded Cutler’s quick decision-making. “The best thing that Jay did in that game is he dropped back and got rid of the ball quickly,” Kromer said. “He knew where to go, he knew how to throw it and he knew who he was getting it to by play and by coverage that he was seeing. So that was a strong step in the right direction.” On the mend: Marc Trestman said D.J. Williams, who was seen stretching in the portion of practice open to the media, did not practice in full but is “getting more work.” Earl Bennett and Henry Melton, who are recovering from concussions, both got running in, and Bennett did some work to the side. Jonathan Scott, Corvey Irvin, Harvey Unga and Zack Bowman were the other Bears who did not practice.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS 20, MARYLAND 13 (OT) A LOOK BACK AT AUG. 28, 2003

THE VICTORY THAT TURNED THE TIDE Today marks 10 years since NIU’s monumental win By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com

hroughout the mid- to late1990s, a time that included a 23-game losing streak, the Northern Illinois football team was a doormat of college football. On Aug. 28, 2003, a year after the Huskies finished 8-4, something big happened. NIU opened the season against Maryland, a team that had won the Atlantic Coast Conference title two years earlier. The Terrapins were ranked 15th in the preseason Associated Press poll. Playing in front of a sold-out Huskie Stadium crowd, NIU earned a 20-13 overtime win, setting the stage for a breakout season. It’s been 10 years since that game, and the Huskies have experienced unprecedented success in the seasons that followed. Shaw Media spoke to different figures who were involved in the game about their experiences before, during and after one of the biggest victories in NIU history.

BEFORE THE GAME Joe Novak arrived at NIU in 1996, after spending 12 years as an assistant at Indiana. His task was to build up a down program. The Huskies won only three games from 1996 to 1998, which included a winless season in 1997. The Huskies had winning seasons in 2000 and 2001, and, in 2002, NIU went 8-4. DAN SHELDON (wide receiver): We knew we had a good team but we were still fairly unproven. ... We had a lot of returning starters that year. And I don’t think anybody really anticipated us coming out and upsetting Maryland. RANDEE DREW (cornerback): The year before ... we played a lot of people tough – we made a lot of noise. We took Wisconsin to the wire that year, and they kind of robbed us of a win up there. And we just kind of piggybacked off of the success we had. In the spring before the game, Maryland talked with NIU about possibly getting out of the contract.

CARY GROTH (athletic director): Most teams, when they sign a twofor-one like that, you play at their place, (then) they like to buy out. Once you play there a game, they like to get out of that game. They know that the so-called mid-majors are doing this for money, in most cases. I will never forget, when the athletic director (Debbie Yow), one of her staff members, and her husband walking on the field before the game. Her staff member says, this is your payday game, or you did this contract for payday, and I said, ‘We never sign contracts with a team we don’t think we can beat.’ NOVAK: [Yow] and (coach) Ralph (Friedgen) tried real hard to get out of that game. They did not want to come to DeKalb, they wanted us to come back to Maryland, and I give Cary Groth a lot of credit. She fought it off and forced them to live up to their contract, which nowadays doesn’t always happen, to be honest with you. The day of the game, USA Today ran a story on NIU running back Michael Turner, who was the nation’s leading returning rusher.

MIKE KORCEK (sports information director): Ralph Friedgen, they’re down I-88, I think they’re in Lisle there. USA Today sold out in the Northern Illinois area and [Maryland] bought one for every player. And so, on the bus ride to the stadium, every player read the story about Michael Turner. NOVAK: That kind of put Michael in the headlights, because this was the front sports page of USA Today, ‘Turner the Burner.’ So that put an extra incentive for them. The thing I remember the most is going out for the pregame. Two things, going out and seeing [Maryland], they were in their Under Armour or whatever they call that stuff, jerseys just walking around. ... I coached in the Big Ten for many years, it was one of the most impressive-looking football teams I’ve ever seen.

MATT CANADA (offensive coordinator): They had, obviously, very talented players. I don’t remember all

A soldout crowd packed Huskie Stadium on Aug. 28, 2003, in DeKalb to witness Northern Illinois defeat Maryland – ranked No. 15 in the preseason Associated Press rankings – in the teams’ season opener, 20-13, in overtime. the names but certainly had some great linebackers and great defensive linemen that were a challenge.

MARK LINDO (radio analyst): Parking cars were backed up. It looked like Field of Dreams from the press box, the lights coming in. It was a 6:30 (p.m.) game, but people were late getting there. The lights were on, it was fall already. It was a special night. SHELDON: Two wide receivers under 6-foot tall starting in that game (Sheldon and P.J. Fleck) and I think they kind of scoffed at us like they weren’t taking us seriously. I believe P.J. had a whole bunch of catches in that game, and we both had game-changing touchdowns. Before the game, NIU honored Shea Fitzgerald, who was set to be a starter on the offensive line before passing away in a porch collapse, which killed 13 people in Chicago in June 2003. The team honored Fitzgerald with a moment of silence and each player had his No. 76 on his left shoulder. NOVAK: It was very fresh in our memories. We had taken Shea’s locker in the stadium there and we enclosed it, and we had kept everything just as it was before he had passed away. DREW: It was so emotional. He passed so close before the season was going to start. Just to see his family out there, Shea was younger than me, but his brothers, his family came there. You kind of feel like you know people’s families, they’re part of the family. Being one of the captains, I came out there before the game just to shake his mom and his brother’s hand.

THE GAME Maryland scored its only touchdown of the game on its first drive. The Huskies got on the board with a 52-yard field goal by Steve Azar at the start of the second quarter, and took the lead with a 5-yard TD pass from Josh Haldi to Fleck. Maryland responded in the second half with two Nick Novak field goals, and the Huskies tied the score on a Azar 25yard field goal with 1:12 remaining. NOVAK: They took the ball and drove right down in like seven or eight plays and scored. And I thought, oh brother. Give our kids credit, they came back and we hung in there. NICK DUFFY (linebacker): I think what Maryland tried to do was they tried to run the ball at us, and it just didn’t work. We were that good of a defense I felt like at the time. And we were able to shut down their run. Our secondary at the time was Randee Drew, Rob Lee, they couldn’t get much of a passing game going either. So, we were fortunate in the fact we had a great defense and we had all been playing together for three years at that point. DREW: I think our front seven did an amazing job stopping the run. When you play a good team like that, you can’t let them be multidimensional. We stopped the run right away. We were hitting them in the mouth, we were contesting their passes. I know they tried to go deep on me a few times. SHELDON: I ended up leaving the game midway through, or maybe in the third quarter, with what I thought was a season-ending knee injury, only to have the

Coach Joe Novak is interviewed amid the celebration after the Huskies’ upset victory over Maryland.

Where are they now... Joe Novak: Led the Huskies to bowl games in 2004 and 2006, and retired after the 2007 season with a 63-76 career record at NIU. He will be inducted into the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame in October. Matt Canada: Left NIU after the 2003 season and was an assistant at Indiana from 2004 to 2010. Returned to DeKalb in 2011 and was offensive coordinator for the Huskies’ MAC championship team. Spent the 2012 season helping Wisconsin to a Rose Bowl berth as the Badgers’ offensive coordinator. This season, he’ll coordinate the offense for former NIU coach Dave Doeren at N.C. State. Cary Groth: The 1978 NIU graduate was school’s AD for 10 years. She took the Nevada athletic director job in 2004, and retired after this past school year. Mike Korcek: A 1970 graduate of NIU, was the school’s head SID from 19842006. He occasionally writes a column for Shaw Media’s Daily Chronicle in DeKalb. Mark Lindo: Has been NIU’s radio analyst since 1985. He teaches physical education at Naperville North High School and is an assistant basketball coach at Aurora University. Dan Sheldon: Burlington Central product caught 40 passes for 936 yards and nine touchdowns as a senior in 2004. Currently works in film and commercial production in Los Angeles. Nick Duffy: Was an honorable mention All-MAC selection in 2003 despite missing half the season with a broken ankle. He works in Chicago as an agricultural commodities trader. Randee Drew: Spent time with the San Francisco 49ers and played in various other pro leagues. Played in the Canadian Football League from 2007-10. In 2008, Drew was part of a Montreal Alouettes team that made the Grey Cup final under current Bears coach Marc Trestman. Drew is the defensive backs coach at Whitefish Bay High School in the Milwaukee area, and is working on getting his master’s degree. – Steve Nitz, snitz@shawmedial.com doctors check me out and find out it was only a sprain. I pretty much wrapped it up and went back out. Fortunately, the adrenaline pumping through me helped to disguise some of the pain and discomfort. NIU had the chance to send the crowd into a frenzy when Azar

attempted a 43-yard field goal in the final seconds. The kick was blocked. NOVAK: It was unbelievable how high [Maryland’s Curtis Williams] got, because everything we did from our side was executed well. But they had a kid leap up and just make a tremendous play to block it. And you could see some of the air come out of the stadium because that was our chance to win. In overtime, the Huskies got the ball first, and scored when Sheldon caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Haldi. SHELDON: I don’t know what the down was, but I think it was probably third down, we had about 10, 11, 12 yards to go. They called a great play, I was able to slip by the guy’s hand, get in there. On second-and-7 from the NIU 22-yard line, Terrapins QB Scott McBrien threw a pass to the end zone. It bounced off Huskies cornerback Rob Lee and into the hands of Drew, who intercepted it at the 6-yard line. The celebration had begun. DREW: I just started running toward the ball, and once Rob kicked it in the air, it came right to me. I didn’t even think he’d pop it up in the air. I was just running to the ball to, whatever I could do, tackle, try to force a fumble, anything I could do to help break it up. NOVAK: I couldn’t see. I honestly didn’t know what happened. Everybody was going crazy. The sideline was, the people in the stands, but I wasn’t sure what actually happened. Everybody else was celebrating so I figured I might as well, too. DUFFY: That play, there was good pressure on the quarterback, that ball was so underthrown that, by the time everybody had turned around, the receiver and Rob, who was defending him, by the time they had turned around, Rob ended up just sticking his leg out and it bounced off his leg. NOVAK: After all the struggles that we had with the losing streak, and all that, to reach that point, that game and the success. Later on that evening we were the lead story on SportsCenter, which is a status symbol of course. I mean, it was going from the pits to the penthouse. That’s what it felt like. LINDO: Everything Joe had envisioned basically came to a culmination that night, it was like the perfect storm. You had to have the right opponent on the right night with the right team representing Northern Illinois.

AFTER THE WIN NIU went on to beat Alabama on Sept. 20 at Bryant-Denny Stadium and top Iowa State the next week. NIU started 7-0 before losing at Bowling Green, with ESPN’s College Gameday in attendance, on Oct. 25. DUFFY: You beat Maryland, you beat Alabama and then you beat Iowa State and then people are like, well shoot, Northern Illinois is serious, right? That’s the year where people say, ‘This isn’t just another win on our schedule. This is a team that’s going to compete.’ SHELDON: It was really uplifting, we just upset a big team at home. Sellout crowd, the buzz about Northern Illinois football was really exciting for us because a lot of us came to Northern when they were overcoming the many years of los-

ing. My freshman year at Northern, I remember games, it’s not very packed, there wasn’t a lot of interest in Northern Illinois football. And that game, after the season we had the year before, it was sold out. It was kind of incredible to show up for a game and see it sold out. NOVAK: Our kids were starting to gain confidence, but they hadn’t had a big win yet. And certainly that game, with [Maryland’s] ranking, gave our kids all kinds of confidence. They felt they could play with anybody and beat anybody on any given day. GROTH: We just knew that it was going to be a special season. Joe wasn’t extremely happy that we added Alabama late in the schedule, but it paid off. Exposure was great and well-deserved. KORCEK: I told Joe and the kids, if [media attention] ever gets too much, we’ll stop. We’ll put a stop to it, or we’ll govern it. But we were hungry for the exposure. Joe [said], ‘Mike we’re hot, let’s go for it.’ Joe’s not stupid. The more interviews he does, the more newspapers, the more TV, more radio, it’s free advertising. It’s great recruiting. NIU finished the 2003 season 10-2, suffering its second loss to Toledo on Nov. 15. NIU fought through injuries at the end of the season, and Sheldon and Duffy were two players who missed significant time. There were only 28 bowl games in 2003, and the Mid-America Conference had only two tie-ins. NIU, despite its best season in years, was left without a bowl game. DREW: We had lost like four or five starters by the time we lost. We lost the captain of our defense, which is Nick. I personally, I’ve known Nick since 2000, we came in together. He was the soul and the heart of our defense. SHELDON: I wanted nothing more than to go to a MAC Championship and a bowl game, because that would’ve meant that I could have came back late enough [to play]. I was really hoping that we had [extra games] at the end of the year because I didn’t want to see my season end. GROTH: We couldn’t buy our way into (bowl) games. We offered money to play into those games, to buy extra tickets to play into those games. That is an indicator of what’s wrong with college football and the BCS system right there. The Huskies received a bowl bid in 2004 and NIU has been to a bowl in six of the past seven seasons. The facilities at Huskie Stadium also have been upgraded the past few years. In 2007, the Jeffrey and Kimberly Yordon Center opened, with the Kenneth and Ellen Chessick Practice Center scheduled to open in October. NOVAK: Jeff was with us at Alabama, and he sat next to us on the bus going to the stadium, he was on the sideline next to me at times. It really got Jeff Yordon involved. Kenny Chessick was around, but he hadn’t really gotten that far committed yet. But I think it really swayed Yordon over the hump and he really got on board. DUFFY: I know that we kind of, as a team, as a group, as a university, that 2003 really set the tone for, I think, a lot of what’s happened now. CANADA: I think what coach Novak did and building the program the way he did, the program has stood the test of time. The program’s built on hard work. The program’s built on tough guys that do love football. I’ve said it multiple times, the greatest part about coming back to Northern when I came back two years ago, the new facility was awesome. GROTH: Now, whether Joe Novak and Cary Groth would have survived if that was now, with all the social media pressure and everything that’s going on, [having the 23-game losing streak] at one point in his career? Probably we wouldn’t have. But we were able to do it back then because we believed in it. In my opinion, it was one of the best hires ever that I’ve been involved with.” DREW: [2003] means a lot to me. I won’t ever, ever let go. We can always have that to reference to the younger guys, and all the stuff that’s going on at NIU now, I haven’t been back since 2004 or 2005. I can’t wait to get back down there and see the facilities because I know some of that piggyback’s off what we’ve done, and they’ve just taken it and ran with it. I’m very proud to watch those guys play on Saturday.

8SPORTS SHORTS Federer starts well at U.S. Open NEW YORK – Roger Federer, the owner of a record 17 Grand Slam titles, and the man who spent more weeks ranked No. 1 than any other, was on a U.S. Open practice court late Tuesday afternoon, putting in some training time shortly after finishing off a 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 victory over 62nd-ranked Grega Zemlja of Slovenia in the first round. At 32, at his lowest ranking, No. 7, in more than a decade, and coming off a stunningly early exit at the previous major tournament, Federer is OK with making some concessions. He insists his passion for tennis is still there. “I’m in a good spot right now,” Federer said. “I want to enjoy it as long as it lasts.”

DA: Charges won’t be filed against Pippen LOS ANGELES – Former Bulls star Scottie Pippen won’t face criminal charges after a fight with an autograph seeker outside a Malibu sushi restaurant this summer, prosecutors said Tuesday. Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence against Pippen, who was dining with his family June 24 when he was approached by Camran Shafighi inside Nobu restaurant, a celebrity hangout on the beach in Malibu. They said Shafighi had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit for driving and exaggerated injuries that were deemed minor. The fight occurred outside the restaurant after Shafighi asked to have his photo taken with Pippen. Authorities said Shafighi followed Pippen outside into the parking lot and asked for another photo and an autograph from Pippen, who said no. – Wire reports

CARY-GROVE FOOTBALL

RB McQuade hurts shoulder By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Cary-Grove will start the season without junior running back Zach McQuade, who suffered a shoulder injury last week in practice. Trojans football coach Brad Seaburg said the Trojans hope to have McQuade back in the lineup, possibly by the fourth game against DundeeCrown. C-G was looking for McQuade to fill one of its backfield spots after fullback Kyle Norberg and running backs Kaene Connington and Ryan Mahoney graduated. McQuade was a key rusher for C-G’s 9-0 sophomore team last season.

“More than anything, it hurts depth across the team,” Seaburg said. “There’s a ripple effect. We try to two-platoon everyone, but last year when Mahoney was hurt we had to use (defensive back) Kasey Fields on offense. We may have to do that again now with (defensive back) Matt Sutherland, then we may have to have someone else play defense for Matt.” The Trojans open at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Wheaton North. Seaburg said McQuade has a doctor’s appointment in mid-September and hopes to get good news then. “Zach’s very good. He’s quick and he’s smart, not just fast,” Seaburg said. “He can get around the corner and turn it up pretty well.”

Taylor Otto re-injures shin in defeat • WOLVES Continued from page C1 Wolves still aren’t satisfied with that area of their game. However, they realize there is still plenty of room for improvement and aren’t fretting over a rough first game against a Lake Zurich (1-0) squad that returned six of seven starters from last year. An 8-0 run in Game 2 forced the Bears to call a timeout holding a 21-18 lead, one of the better sequences for the Wolves. But two quick kills by Lake Zurich and two more unforced Wolves errors sealed the win for the Bears. “They looked good in [stretches],” Wolves coach Stefanie Otto said. “It’s just a matter of tying more of those together for us, and it’s going to come with time.” As a young team featuring a few players appearing in their

Mooney (6-foot-4, 215 pounds) threw for 2,046 yards last season. Broz, running back Josh Walker, receiver Hunter Williams and tight end Jake Dziewulski also return as starters. “We look good compared to last year,” said Mark Mamola,

We’ve got him in a great position not only to throw the ball, but run the ball this year. I hope he’s the [runnning-passing] threat that Chris (Streveler) was up at Marian last year.

Otto opted to wear normal inserts instead of her special custom orthotics, which are supposed to help prevent a stress fracture, though she changed into them between Games 1 and 2. However, the pain in Otto’s shin, which popped up during Game 1, still persisted after putting on the orthotics. Stefanie Otto said Taylor likely will sit out practice the rest of the week ahead of the Wolves’ match Tuesday against Crystal Lake Central. From now on, Taylor plans to wear the custom orthotics every time she plays after experiencing shooting pain from her left ankle up her shin anytime she took a stride. “It [stinks] because I just want to be here for my team and it’s hard when it’s painful to move basically,” Taylor said. “ ...

Going forward, coming together as a team and forgetting about individual errors is a priority, senior setter Taylor Otto said. “We need to think more as a whole and stay positive so we can forget about those errors and finish the game strong, which I really don’t think we did,” said Otto, who finished with 27 assists and two kills. “I think we all kind of got frustrated with each other, which shouldn’t be happening on a team like this.” The Wolves’ loss was exacerbated by Otto’s shin injury cropping up again during the match.

Sauces perfect for every meat, vegetable By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

arinades are one of the simplest ways to add fast and easy flavor to your meals. Combine a few ingredients in a zip-close plastic bag, add your meat, seafood or veggies, then walk away for a while. We’ve outlined some basic marinades below to help get you started, as well as some suggestions of what you can use them for.

But the truth is, marinades are so versatile and easy to use, you can substitute whatever your favorite ingredients are or anything you happen to have on hand. These marinades are enough to cover 1½ pounds of food. Double up as needed, but keep in mind you don’t need the food to swim in the marinade, just be thoroughly coated. Once the food has soaked up the flavor, you can pan-fry it, grill it or broil it.

Wine marinades

Vinaigrette marinades

Citrus marinades

Wine is a great base for subtle marinades. Because they have a softer flavor than citrus or vinegar, you can use them to highlight other flavors. Use a little oil to help carry flavors and prevent food from sticking to the cooking surface. These marinades work especially well for hearty vegetables and meats. Marinate from 30 minutes to overnight. RED WINE-ROSEMARY: 1/4 cup red wine, 1 tablespoon olive oil, hefty pinch each of salt and black pepper, 1 large stem rosemary, chopped. Try with sirloin steak or portobello mushrooms. WHITE WINE-MUSTARD: 1/4 cup dry white wine, 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, hefty pinch each salt and black pepper. Great with chicken thighs or eggplant. RASPBERRY-GINGER: 1/4 cup sweet red wine, 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, hefty pinch each salt and black pepper. Try on pork chops or chicken breasts.

Because vinegar is so aggressive, you’ll want to temper it with oil. This helps carry the flavor into the food, as well as prevent the flavors from becoming too jarring. For fish, seafood and vegetables, marinate for 30 minutes and to up to 2 hours. For chicken, steak and pork, you can go for up to 8 hours. GARLIC-BALSAMIC: 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 4 cloves minced garlic, hefty pinch salt. Try with pork loin or steak tips. SPICY HOISIN: 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon five-spice powder. Try on chicken tenders or scallops. MAPLE-SOY: 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Try with pork tenderloin medallions or cod.

Citrus juices are fairly acidic, which means they permeate and tenderize food quickly. They work great as a base for marinades that you want to throw together just before dinner. These marinades work equally well for seafood as they do chicken or steak. For seafood, marinate for up to 30 minutes; chicken and steak can handle up to 2 hours. CHIPOTLE-LIME: Juice and zest of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons adobo sauce and 1 minced chipotle chili from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, a hefty pinch of salt. Great on flank steak or shrimp. ORANGE-CUMIN: Juice and zest of 1 orange, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, a hefty pinch of salt. Try with haddock or chicken breasts. LEMON-HERB: Juice and zest of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon Italian herb blend, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, hefty pinch of salt. Good on salmon or chicken thighs.

Mexican-Style Stuffed Eggs AP photo

Deviled eggs can have a healthy kick When I was growing up, I loved my mom’s stuffed eggs. Heck, as a chubby and happy-go-lucky kid, I loved anything filled with mayonnaise. As I grew older, I figured out these seductive little bite-sized appetizers (also called deviled eggs, at least when spiked with something hot) were packed with calories. Happily, I now know you don’t need a ton of mayonnaise to make a tasty filling. This recipe satisfies the heedless little kid in me and the more prudent grown-up. But first, we need to address the proper way to boil an egg. The goal is to produce a tender white with no nasty green line between it and the yolk. It was Julia Child who taught me how to achieve this lovely result. The key is not to hard boil the egg, but to hard cook it. You put the eggs in cold water, bring the water to a boil, remove the pan from the heat, then cover it. About 15 minutes later, you drain the pot and run cold water over the eggs. I tend to let them stand for 10 minutes, not 15. It’s the cold water that prevents the green line from forming. What kind of egg is the best candidate for hard cooking? Oddly enough, you don’t want it to be super fresh. Slightly older eggs are better for hard cooking because the air pocket between the egg and the shell gets larger as the egg gets older. This makes them easier to peel. How do you figure out the age of an egg (other than by reading the date on the carton)? Place your egg in a bowl of water. If it lies on its side on the bottom of the bowl, it is very fresh. If it stands up, it is somewhat aged and perfect for hard cooking. If it floats to the surface, you might want to toss it. Now for the filling. Aside from a lone tablespoon of low-fat mayo, most of my filling’s creamy texture is thanks to the avocado. Though this wonderful fruit, a native of Mexico, was maligned for years by the food police because of its high fat content, avocados actually are as nutritious as they are delicious. Here I’ve teamed the avocado with all of its guacamole pals – lime juice, onion and jalapeño peppers – and topped it with salsa. I call for salsa here because tomatoes – especially local tomatoes – are now at the height of their season, so going to the trouble of using those tomatoes to whip up some homemade salsa pays big dividends. I prefer cherry tomatoes, but any ripe tomato will do. I salt them first, then let them stand a bit to concentrate their flavor. If you’re in a rush, or if you want to cook this dish

EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton when it’s not tomato season, by all means use your favorite store-bought salsa. Their deliciousness aside, these eggs, with their green-andred color scheme, would be as festive at Christmas as they are in mid-summer.

Mexican-Style Stuffed Eggs Start to finish: 30 minutes Makes 16 stuffed egg halves 8 large eggs 1/2 cup finely chopped tomato Kosher salt 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced jalapenos (discarding seeds and ribs, if desired), divided 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons lime juice, divided 3 tablespoons minced white onion, divided 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro 1 very ripe Haas avocado, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise Ground black pepper Place the eggs in a small saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring the water just to a boil, then remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it, and set it aside for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice and water and let cool completely. While the eggs are cooking, in a colander toss the tomatoes with a hefty pinch of salt and let drain for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the drained tomatoes with 1 teaspoon of the jalapenos, 2 teaspoons of the lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the onion and the cilantro. Toss well, then set aside. Once the eggs have cooled, peel and halve them lengthwise. In a small bowl combine 6 of the yolks (discarding the remaining 2 or saving them for another use) with the avocado, mayonnaise, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Mash with a potato masher or fork until the mixture is smooth with a few lumps. Stir in the remaining onion and jalapeno, add salt and pepper to taste. Mound the egg-avocado mixture into the egg whites and top each one with some of the salsa.

Science saves summer classic Beer-can chicken gets boost from close temperature monitoring

By MICHAEL FELBERBAUM

By W. WAYT GIBBS The Associated Press You may not find too many restaurant chefs plopping their poultry on cans of PBR, but all those tailgaters and beachside grillers are on to something. There are solid scientific reasons chicken really does roast better in a more upright, lifelike pose than when it is flat on its soggy back. And by adding a couple of extra prep steps to the technique and taking your care with the temperature, you can get the best of both worlds: succulent, juicy meat and crispy, golden brown skin. On top of all that, you get to drink the beer. The chicken doesn’t actually need it. Beer-can chicken recipes are everywhere on the Internet, but most of them don’t address the two biggest challenges of roasting poultry. The first is to avoid overcooking the meat. Nothing is more disappointing at a Labor Day cookout than to bite into a beautiful-looking chicken breast only to end up with a mouthful of woody fiber that seems to suck the saliva right out of your glands. The solution to this first challenge is simple: take your time, measure the temperature correctly and frequently, and choose the right target for the core temperature (as measured at the deepest, densest part of the thigh). When you cook the bird slowly, the heat has more time to kill any nasty bacteria living in the food, so you don’t have to cook the heck the out of thing. The federal government recommends bringing the meat to 165 degrees F. for at least 15 seconds. But guidelines issued by the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service show 35 minutes at 140 degrees F. achieves the same degree of pasteurization, even in the fattiest chicken. The recipe below calls for several hours in the oven and a core temperature of 145 degrees F. to 150 degrees F., which will meet those guidelines as long as you slow-cook the bird at a low temperature. But be sure you use a reliable, oven-safe thermometer and place it properly as directed in the recipe. The tip shouldn’t be touching or near any bone. The second challenge that most beer-can chicken recipes fail to overcome is crisping the skin. Here, liquid is the enemy, and adding additional liquid in the form of a can full of beer is the wrong approach. So empty the can first – the specifics of that will be left as an exercise for the reader– and use the empty can merely as a way to prop up the bird and to block airflow in its interior so the meat doesn’t dry out. Also, give the skin some breathing room by running your (carefully washed) fingers underneath it before roasting. As the subdermal fat melts away, it will trickle downward; a few well-placed

Craft brews abound in warmer weather The Associated Press

Slow-Roasted Chicken On A Beer Can

RICHMOND, Va. – It’s the unofficial rule of summer – when the sun comes out, so do the coolers. For many, that means stocking up on light beers that are crisp and refreshing but pack less alcohol. Because when you’re hiking, heading to the beach or pitching a tent, you don’t want to be weighed down by a beer with too robust a body or whose alcohol content impedes the pleasure of all-day sipping. If you’re looking for options beyond the typical mass-market beers, the booming craft beer industry luckily has plenty of options to quench this thirst. Recently, a number of craft brewers have brought out crisp, refreshing choices such as the farmhouse ales known as saisons and sessionable beers, which are perfect for summer sipping. Added bonus – these beers also pair well with grilling staples such as burgers, chicken and sausage, summer salads and pizza, as well as spicy foods like Mexican, Thai and Indian. The trouble with craft beers is that by definition they can be hard to find. That’s part of the appeal, of course, but also a bummer when a buddy raves about a recent find you can’t find. So to make your summer that much better, we’ve gathered a list of some favorite summer-friendly craft brews that are more widely available.

punctures provide exits without compromising the balloon-like ability of the skin to puff outward under steam pressure. Held apart from the juicy meat, the loose skin will dry as it browns, especially during a final short blast of high heat in a hot oven. Done right, each slice of tender meat will be capped with a strip of wonderfully flavored skin, which will be at its crispiest when it emerges from the oven. So have your table ready, and don’t be slow with the carving knife. But do take a moment to remove the can before you tuck in.

Slow-Roasted Chicken On A Beer Can Start to finish: 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 4 1 medium roaster chicken 12-ounce can of cold beer (any variety you like to drink) Set an oven rack in the lowest position in the oven. Remove the upper racks. Heat the oven to 175 degrees F, or as low as your oven will allow if its controls do not go this low. Wash your hands well with soap. Remove the neck and bag of giblets, if included, from inside the chicken. Slide your fingertips

underneath the skin at the neck opening and gently work the skin away from the meat. Use care to avoid tearing the skin as you pull it loose from the body; continue as far as you can reach on both the front and the back. Turn the chicken over, and repeat from the cavity opening at the base of the bird, making sure to loosen the skin on the drumsticks so that it is attached only at the wings and the ends of the legs. Use a knife to pierce the skin at the foot end of each leg and at the tail end of the front and back. These small incisions will allow the cooking juices to drain away so that they don’t soak into the skin. Pour the contents of the beer can into a glass, and enjoy it at your leisure. Push the empty can into the tail end of the bird far enough that the chicken can stand upright as it rests on the can. If the neck was included with the chicken, use it like a stopper to close up the opening at the top of the bird. Otherwise you can use a bulldog clip to pinch the skin closed so that steam inflates the loose skin like a balloon and holds it away from the damp meat as the chicken roasts. Set a baking sheet in the oven. Insert the probe of an oven-safe thermometer into the deepest part of the chicken’s thigh. Stand the chicken upright (on the can) on the baking sheet and roast until the

core temperature reaches 145 degrees F. if you want the white meat to be juicy and tender; for more succulent dark meat, continue roasting to a core temperature of 150 degrees F. A medium-size roaster will need 3 to 4 hours. After the first 30 minutes of roasting, check the effective baking temperature by inserting a digital thermometer through the skin to a depth of 3/8 inch. The temperature there should be within 5 degrees F. of the target core temperature (either 145 degrees F. or 150 degrees F). If it is too high, open the oven door for several minutes; if too cool, increase the oven setting slightly. Repeat this check of the near-surface temperature every half hour or so. When the core temperature hits the target, take the chicken out and let it rest, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, increase the oven temperature to its hottest baking setting. Don’t use the broiler, but do select a convection baking mode if your oven has one. Return the bird to the hot oven, turn on the light, and watch it carefully as it browns. The goal is crisp, golden brown skin. The skin will start to brown quickly, and browning will accelerate once it starts. So keep your eye on it. Once the chicken is browned, remove the can, carve the bird, and serve immediately, while the skin is still crispy.

From Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. in Chico, Calif. Style: Czech Pilsner Alcohol: 5 percent Notes: This golden lager is, of course, refreshing, but it also has a sweet, malty flavor and subtle spicy character that lets you know you’re not drinking just another mainstream beer.

Saison Dupont From Brasserie Dupont in Belgium Style: Saison/Farmhouse Ale Alcohol: 6.5 percent Notes: Saison Dupont is the classic farmhouse ale against which many of today’s modern takes on saisons are measured. This style of beer originally was made by farmers in Belgium during the cooler harvest months and stored for drinking during the summer. This unfiltered ale is full-bodied and malty, but has lots of citrus and spice. It finishes dry and has a good amount of carbonation, which heighten its refreshing and complex characteristics.

All Day IPA From Founders Brewing Co. in

Grand Rapids, Mich. Style: American IPA Alcohol: 4.7 percent Notes: Craft beer drinkers have an affinity for hops, which are known

for providing a certain bitterness to beer. For some, the more, the better. For others, that “hoppiness” keeps them away. This beer was brewed with summer – and hop-heads – in mind. The light-bodied ale is crisp and refreshing, but also offers up the citrus and pine tastes and aromas that IPAs are known for. And with an alcohol content below 5 percent, Founders brewed what it called a session ale to be enjoyed all day – and night.

Summer Love Ale From Victory Brewing Co. in Philadelphia Style: Golden Ale Alcohol: 5.2 percent Notes: A few years back, Victory Brewing teamed with the Philadelphia-area tourism folks to come up with a beer to help promote the City of Brotherly Love – and Summer Love was born. The beer became popular among aficionados for its combination of German hops and pale malt that creates a lightbodied ale with a lemony finish.

Colette From Great Divide Brewing Co. in Denver Style: Saison/Farmhouse Ale Alcohol: 7.3 percent Notes: Colette is an homage to traditional farmhouse ales. It’s a complex beer that’s crisp, fruity, spicy and fairly tart. Originally a seasonal offering, the demand became so great that Great Divide began brewing it as a year-round offering.

Fleur De Houblon From Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, N.Y. Style: Belgian-style Summer Ale Alcohol: 6.8 percent Notes: Ommegang’s brand new summer ale is named for the hop flowers used to make the beer. This Belgianstyle golden ale blends flavors of citrus from the whole Bravo hops with aromas of fresh cut grass and the sweetness of tropical fruit. The beer, which is clean, dry and refreshing, is fermented twice with the brewery’s unique house yeast to impart complex and spicy notes.

Trade Winds From The Bruery in Placentia, Calif. Style: Tripel/Belgianstyle Golden Ale Alcohol: 8 percent Notes: While a little higher in alcohol content, this Belgian-style ale with sparkling wine-like qualities is definitely a good summer beer, but maybe not all day long. It uses rice in its brewing to give it a lighter body and is spiced with Thai basil. It’s dry, fruity and has a good amount of carbonation.

Prosciutto and melon pairing inspire pasta salad By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press A pasta salad should be easy. It should be a just-throwthe-ingredients-in-a-bowl kind of summer food that doesn’t require too much messing around. With that in mind, we designed this salad to be just that. We do a quick boil of the pasta, and we throw in the veggies to blanch during the last 2 minutes. This simple trick saves you a pot to wash and an extra step. Then we add some flavor in the way of salty prosciutto and sweet melon, and you’ve got a classic Italian pairing

turned into summer side dish. Of course, because it’s pasta salad, the combinations really are limitless. You can substitute any shape pasta you prefer. Switch out the prosciutto for bacon or salami, green beans for the asparagus, peaches for the cantaloupe. The great thing about pasta salad is that it’s so easy to make it yours.

2 teaspoons parsley 1 diced medium onion 1 cup Swiss cheese, grated 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated Pepper to taste

1 pie crust, baked 1 package spring vegetable dry soup mix 1 1/2 cups mixed vegetables, such as corn, peas, green beans, etc. 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup cream Small can of mushrooms

Meatballs have all of the protein without the meat I’ve always had mixed feelings about mock meats, especially the highly processed ones that include unpronounceable ingredients. I appreciate the need for meatless sources of protein, but why eat something made with, say, hydrolyzed vegetable protein when you can get your protein from the vegetables – and nuts and grains – themselves? It’s a mistake, though, to think all attempts to replicate the taste and/or texture of meat are newfangled, the result of our dependence on manufactured rather than natural foods. In 7th-century China, Buddhist monks and nuns rinsed and kneaded wheat flour by hand to produce something malleable enough to play the part of meat; that’s what later became seitan. Still, I was surprised to see Eggplant “Meatballs” in Tomato Sauce in Domenica Marchetti’s lovely new cookbook, “The Glorious Vegetables of Italy” (Chronicle), because it hadn’t occurred to me Italians thought of eggplant as a meat substitute. They have for centuries, Marchetti writes – not out of religious abstention, like the Buddhists, but because for the longest time, meat cost too much to take center stage on the table. On a peninsula with such a long growing season, though, vegetables abounded. “There is magic in eggplant,” Marchetti writes, and not only when it’s made into balls: “Dipped in flour, egg, and bread crumbs and panfried, sliced eggplant does a great job of mimicking veal or chicken cutlets.” It would be a disservice to her celebration of vegetables to act as if meat imitation were in any way the focus of her latest work. She writes a paean to the Italian kitchen’s great and important contributions to the world of vegetable cookery, and in most of her recipes the vegetables don’t get disguised anywhere nearly as completely as the eggplant does in those meatballs. Nonetheless, I couldn’t resist that magical eggplant preparation, partly because I knew Marchetti’s recipe would be as foolproof as usual and also because my boyfriend, Carl, isn’t exactly an eggplant fan. He raised an eyebrow and shook his head

when he saw me roast it, scoop out the flesh, combine it with bread crumbs, egg, cheese, herbs and garlic and form it into balls. But once I fried them and stewed them with a simple tomato sauce (also from Marchetti’s book), he dug in. It wasn’t the quickest route to a meatless meatball, but it beat the heck out of anything I could get from a package. And I knew exactly what was in it.

Eggplant “Meatballs” in Tomato Sauce 4 to 5 servings 1 large (about 1 pound) shiny purple eggplant 3 cloves garlic 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 28 ounces canned, no-salt-added diced tomatoes, with their juices 1 teaspoon fine sea salt 3 large fresh basil leaves, shredded or torn, plus 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil 3 rounded cups fresh bread crumbs 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 2 ounces pecorino Romano cheese, freshly grated 1 tablespoon minced fresh flatleaf parsley 1 cup flour, for coating, or more as needed Vegetable oil, for frying Water (optional) Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for serving (optional) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the eggplant a few times all over with a fork. Place it on a small rimmed baking sheet and roast for about 1 hour or until the skin is crinkled and collapsed and the interior is completely tender. Cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce: Crush one of the garlic cloves, then warm it in the olive oil in a saucepan large enough to eventually hold the eggplant meatballs over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to press down on the garlic to release its flavor. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the garlic begins to sizzle; do not let it brown. Carefully pour in the tomatoes and their juices (the oil will spatter) and stir to coat with the oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt; increase the heat to medium-high. Once the mixture is bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 35 minutes, to form a sauce that has thickened, with oil that is pooling on the

surface. Remove from the heat and stir in the 3 basil leaves. Cover to keep warm. Slice open the eggplant, then scoop the flesh onto a cutting board, discarding the skin. Mash the eggplant flesh with a potato masher or chop it coarsely with a chef’s knife. Scoop into a large bowl, along with the bread crumbs, eggs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the pecorino Romano, minced basil and parsley. Use a garlic press to add the remaining 2 garlic cloves, then use a wooden spoon or flexible spatula to gently yet thoroughly incorporate the ingredients. Spread the flour in a shallow bowl. Line a platter with waxed or parchment paper. Use your hands to form the eggplant mixture into about fifteen 2-inch balls (golf ball size). Coat them all over with the flour, then transfer to the lined platter, gently pressing down on them to flatten them slightly. Pour enough vegetable oil into a sauté pan or cast-iron skillet to reach a depth of at least 1 inch, and heat the oil to about 375 degrees F. over medium-high heat. If you do not have a thermometer, drop a small pinch of an eggplant meatball into the oil; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready. Carefully add half of the eggplant meatballs to the hot oil; fry until golden brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn them over and fry for 2 minutes, until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the sauce in the saucepan, allowing them to drain off any excess oil. Turn them to coat with the sauce. Repeat with the remaining eggplant meatballs, adding vegetable oil as needed and letting it heat to 375 degrees F. Return the saucepan with the eggplant meatballs to medium-low heat. Cook, turning them once or twice, for about 10 minutes. If the sauce seems too thick – the balls will absorb some of it – add a tablespoon or two of water, or as needed, and gently stir it into the sauce. Serve the eggplant meatballs hot, with the sauce spooned over them and a sprinkle of Parmigiano-Reggiano on top, if desired.

Fear of 911 publicity causes Salad due for makeover Preserve tradition with creamy broccoli and corn ditalini some not to make the call By STEPHANIE WITT SEDGWICK The Washington Post

Dear Abby: A friend of mine was a victim of domestic violence. When I asked her why she didn’t phone 911 for help, her response was, “They play those 911 calls on the radio all the time.” She didn’t want her prominent husband’s career damaged by adverse publicity. Today, a group of us discussed the issue over breakfast. Many of the women said that because of the popularity of 911 calls being broadcast on the Internet, radio and TV, they’d be hesitant to phone for help when needed, too. Abby, someone is going to suffer serious harm out of fear that their call for help will be publicized. Do you know what can be done about this new “drama entertainment”? I wouldn’t want my terrified call heard by the public either, so I’d take my chances without calling for help. I just hope I don’t wake up dead one day as a result. – Publicity-Shy In

Florida Dear Publicity-Shy: Nothing can be done about “drama entertainment” as long as the public has an appetite for it. The reason for the practice of “if it bleeds, it leads” in the media is it draws viewers and listeners – which means advertising revenue. In the case of domestic violence, calling 911 is the lesser of two evils. Out-of-control abusers have been known to maim and kill the ones they

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips “love.” Ask yourself if your friend’s husband’s career was worth risking her life for. It makes more sense to risk a 911 call being broadcast than to have cameras and TV reporters camped on your lawn while the EMTs or the coroner carry your battered, bloody body out on a gurney. Dear Abby: I’m overweight and have a family history of heart disease and diabetes. An injury to my back severely limits my ability to exercise, so diet is an important part of my health plan. My problem is people CONSTANTLY try to get me to eat. I explain my situation, but they still urge me to have “just a taste.” If I go to a party and shy away from the buffet, the host feels I’m being rude. Recently, my supervisor at work became insulted because I refused some food she brought to a work meeting. These people wouldn’t be upset if an alcoholic refused a drink, so why are they so hostile to me? (Another thing that upsets me is when somebody dies an early death, these same folks say, “He should have taken better care of himself.”) – Under Attack In

Arizona

Dear Under Attack: For many people, food has become something other than fuel for the body. It can symbolize love, caring, acceptance – and when it is refused it can seem like a personal rejection to the person offering it. (Yes, I know it’s crazy.) Your best defense is to remind your hosts, your supervisor, your co-workers and friends you have a family history of health problems and are on a doctor-advised restricted diet to manage it. Remind these generous souls socializing is more about the company than the food, and you are grateful they understand. Dear Abby: You give so much great advice, I’m wondering if there is a basic principle you abide by to help guide you when giving advice.

– Curious Reader Dear Curious: I hadn’t really thought about it, but I suppose it’s something like this: Show up for work ready to put forth my best effort. Be honest enough to admit that not everyone agrees with me or that I’m sometimes wrong. Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Don’t pull any punches, don’t preach and always try to be succinct.

The traditional creamy elbow macaroni salad is an easy target for a makeover. The trick is to preserve its American character. The salad, with the exception of the broccoli, can easily be prepped a day in advance. Wait to add the steamed broccoli pieces to the salad. The vinegar in the dressing will cause the broccoli to discolor if you mix the salad and let it sit overnight. For optimal taste, bring the salad to room temperature before serving.

Broccoli and Corn Ditalini Salad Makes about 9 cups (10 to 12 servings) Kosher salt 8 ounces dried ditalini pasta 8 ounces trimmed broccoli crowns 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley 1/2 teaspoon sugar Freshly ground black pepper 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

MRI shows prostate cancer’s spread Dear Dr. K: I recently had a prostate biopsy and was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Now my doctor wants to do an MRI. Why? What new information will the MRI provide? Dear Reader: I can understand why you’re puzzled. A biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing prostate cancer, so why do you need any other test? In a biopsy, bits of tissue are removed from different areas of your prostate gland. They are examined with a microscope to see if there are cancerous cells. If the biopsy shows cancer, the diagnosis has been made. The biopsy also can help determine how aggressive the cancer will be and how likely it is to spread. The biopsy tells you for sure if you have prostate cancer. But it doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how bad the cancer is and what kind of treatment you should receive. Once you’ve been diagnosed, decisions about your treatment will depend on the stage of your cancer. “Staging” is a way of describing how far your cancer has spread. Ultrasound imaging tests traditionally have been used to determine how much of

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff the prostate gland is filled with cancer and whether the cancer has spread to the tissues next to the prostate. A newer kind of MRI called endorectal MRI may give a clearer picture than ultrasound of the local spread of prostate cancer. That’s important because, in the majority of men diagnosed with prostate cancer, it exists in multiple locations in the prostate gland. This new kind of MRI is not yet widely available, but it may be available to your doctor. Bone scans can determine if prostate cancer has spread through the blood to bones. MRI scans of the bones are another technique for detecting the spread of cancer. The pictures produced by the MRI will tell your doctor whether and to what extent your cancer has spread to surrounding tissue, lymph nodes and other parts of your body. Your doctor will use these details along with other information to predict how aggressive your tumor is and what treatment will be best.

Many new techniques are under development to improve the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. New types of blood tests can spot prostate cancer cells that have escaped from the prostate gland and are circulating in the blood and threatening to lodge in bones. Biopsy specimens are not only being examined under a microscope; they also are being studied to see what genes are turned on and off in the cancerous tissue. These “gene expression” patterns are likely to point to the best treatment. Finally, new MRI imaging techniques are in development. For example, doctors may inject a contrast agent, such as a dye, into the bloodstream. This dye is absorbed by the prostate. Cancerous tissue absorbs the agent differently than other tissue. During a contrast-enhanced MRI, the cancerous tissue appears brighter than non-cancerous tissue, making it easier to identify and treat.

Boseman to play Brown THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, August 28, 2013 • Section D • Page D6

After bringing Jackie Robinson to the big screen, Chadwick Boseman is going to try another icon: James Brown. Boseman has been cast to play the Godfather of Soul in a planned biopic by “The Help” director Tate Taylor. The film from Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment is currently untitled. Mick Jagger and Brian Grazer are among the producers. The project has been in development for years, with various actors and directors attached. It’s set to finally begin shooting this fall in Mississippi. In an interview Monday with The Associated Press, Taylor said of the great soul singer: “Those are big shoes to fill.”

Gomez: Don’t ask what Swift said

Bass talks ’N Sync reunion, Cyrus Don’t get your heart set on anything more than the 90-second ’N Sync reunion seen on the MTV Video Music Awards. The performance marked the first time the band played together in 11 years, and also the last time they’ll do it, at least for a while. “It would be lovely to do it, but we’ve got nothing planned,” Lance Bass told The Associated Press Monday between breaks of his Sirius XM show, “Dirty Pop With Lance Bass.” One reason is Justin Timberlake begins his solo tour this fall, and Bass says the closest he’ll get to the stage is a seat in the audience. “Who knows what will happen when he’s off tour. It’s simply not part of the conversation right now. We just focused on that one performance,” Bass said. “If we did anything like that, I think we would come up with something real special where we could actually call it ‘The Reunion.’” Bass, along with fellow boy-band mates Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez, joined Timberlake, who was already performing at the VMAs on Sunday night. They wanted to do something special for Timberlake for receiving The Michael Jackson Vanguard Award, the VMA’s equivalent of a lifetime achievement award. As for the show, Bass shared his view on the evening’s most controversial performance when Miley Cyrus stripped down to a nude bikini, erotically grinded with Robin Thicke and made suggestive gestures with a foam hand with a pointed finger. The singer said his young nieces and nephews watched the VMAs for the first time to see their uncle perform in ’N Sync. “I didn’t know I had to warn them that their little Hannah Montana was going to be naked and humping a finger,” Bass said. During a commercial break, he spoke more of the incident. “I think it’s her thing. I think she shocked a lot of her younger fans, especially the parents, who might not be so happy with her thing, and she’s just being Miley,” Bass said.

Did Taylor Swift really utter an expletive to Selena Gomez when One Direction and former love interest Harry Styles took the stage for the MTV Video Music Awards? Don’t ask Selena Gomez. Swift’s seemingly foul-mouthed reaction shot lit up social networks and became an instant GIF. But Gomez reprimanded a reporter who asked what Swift said at the premiere Monday of Gomez’s new film, “Getaway.” “Don’t try that with me,” Gomez told him. The young star later said she’s protective of her friends. “I think girls need to be more supportive of each other. I definitely agree with that. I’m all about that,” she said. “Taylor has been one of those girls. We have been friends for five years. She is very strong. She doesn’t care what people think and she inspires me.” Gomez won best pop video for “Come & Get It” at the ceremony Sunday and said she didn’t expect to win. “So I am watching the beautiful boys, One Direction who are not bad to look at, then they said my name. I looked at Taylor ... it was surreal. Because I do put so much work into my music. There’s so much talk of everything. But I did put my heart and soul into it so I was really excited. It was great.”

CBS newsman Dunning dies at 73 CBS News says longtime foreign correspondent Bruce Dunning has died.

CBS said in a release the retired newsman died Monday at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City from injuries suffered in a fall. He was 73. In 1975, Dunning captured part of the chaotic end to the Vietnam War. He reported on the last evacuation flight out of Da Nang and the scramble to get aboard as the city fell to North Vietnamese troops. Dunning spent most of his 35-year career at CBS News reporting from Asia, opening the network’s Beijing bureau in 1981 and serving as the Tokyo-based Asia bureau chief. He later covered Latin America and the Caribbean for CBS. CBS says the New Jersey native’s survivors include his partner, artist Tetsunori Kawana, and a brother.

Elizabeth Wellin (center), 15, of Barrington, enjoys a cup of frozen yogurt at BlueCherry Frozen Yogurt in Barrington. BlueCherry Frozen Yogurt opened in June and plans to open another store in McHenry by the end of the month.

BlueCherry dives in Company to open stores in McHenry, Huntley By CYNTHIA WOLF editorial@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Appealing to customers’ taste buds long has been a calling for brothers Ted and Andy Zatos, whose next step on the culinary road is a trending sweet treat. Ted Zatos, of Bloomingdale, and Andy Zatos, of Addison, owners of Brunch Cafés in McHenry, Roselle and Fox River Grove, recently opened BlueCherry Frozen Yogurt in Barrington. A second BlueCherry is set to open in McHenry by month’s end, and a third and fourth are planned for Huntley and Lake Zurich, said Alexa Ulrich, general manager. “They are workhorses,” Ulrich said of her bosses. “They’re always thinking ahead.” The Zatoses have leapt into a competitive market with their latest endeavor. While theirs is not a franchise, frozen yogurt franchises such as Red Mango, Pinkberry and others have expanded nationwide. Ulrich said the Zatos brothers did not care to disclose their investment in the venture. According to industry literature, though, they can anticipate sweet returns – if they can develop customer loyalty in the sea of consumers’ fro-yo options. Business Insider, quoting a CBS New York report, noted a roughly 500 percent markup in a 10-ounce serving of frozen yogurt at shops charging 59 cents an ounce (BlueCherry charges 47 cents). And overhead is relatively

The challenge is standing out from the competition. And Ulrich said BlueCherry is up to the task. “Everyone loves [frozen yogurt],” Ulrich said, noting the fare is low- to non-fat and the yogurt options contain live, active cultures, appealing to the health-conscious crowd. “You just kind of have to really differentiate yourself and go the extra mile.”

Consumer confidence in U.S. rises in August WASHINGTON – Americans’ confidence in the economy inched closer to a 5½-year high on growing optimism that hiring and wages could pick up in coming months. The Conference Board, a New York-based private research group, said Tuesday its consumer confidence index rose to 81.5 in August. That’s up from a revised reading of 81 in July. And it’s just below the 82.1 reading in June, which was the highest since January 2008. Consumers’ income expectations, which fell earlier this year after a January tax increase, rebounded to the highest level in 2½ years, said Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board’s economic indicators. Although consumers were more confident about the future, their assessment of the current economy dipped slightly in August. “Consumer sentiment is holding steady, supported by advances in stocks, solid job creation and a broad-based recovery in the housing market,” Jim Baird, chief investment officer at Plante Moran Financial Advisors, wrote in a research note.

Fast plant is boost for Japan auto also-ran Mazda By YURI KAGEYAMA The Associated Press HOFU, Japan – Mazda, the longtime also-ran of Japanese automakers, says it came up with innovations in nearly every step of auto manufacturing for a super-efficient assembly line that rolls off vehicles at a stunning rate of one every 54 seconds. The revamped Hofu plant in Yamaguchi Prefecture, southwestern Japan, shown to reporters Tuesday, underlines how Mazda Motor Corp. has defied skeptics who predicted the automaker’s demise after Ford Motor Co. ended a long partnership. Contrary to expectations, Mazda was not bought by a Chinese competitor. Nor did it collapse under the burden of a soaring yen that made Japanese cars more expensive abroad. Mazda still is riding on its reputa-

tion for producing cool gas-sipping models such as the Miata roadster without a single gas-electric hybrid in its lineup. The Hofu plant can barely keep up with demand. Its pace betters that of Toyota Motor Corp., the world’s top automaker, which can roll out a vehicle at paces varying from 57 seconds to 115 seconds. The key to what Mazda calls its innovation in “monozukuri,” or “making things,” apparent at the Hofu plant, was using a common platform, the main structure on which a car is built, and common parts. Platform-sharing is a standard profit-boosting device in the auto industry, but is even more crucial for a smaller player such as Mazda, allowing it to create several distinct models from what in basic ways is the same car.

Commercial lending sites make getting a loan easier Lending Tree is a residential loan platform where lenders “compete” for your loan. It started the online lending revolution. Recently, I was introduced to a world of online lending platforms for commercial real estate and general business loans. This group of companies is redefining how commercial loans get done. The following list is not complete, but these players are the ones defining the online lending space. Of the companies I’ve encountered, www.c-loans.com is the only company aimed squarely at commercial lending on a national scale. The platform is more of a lending database that lists the lenders compatible with the kind of loan needed. It’s free to use and targets the end borrower. The next you’ll come across is www.lendio.com. Lendio starts to stretch the boundaries of loan type with everything from lines of credit to commercial real estate loans. It’s program will list local lenders who have an appetite for a particular type of loans and is aimed at end

Each of these programs has amassed a few hundred, if not a few thousand, select lenders who compete for commercial real estate loan business, which is starting to change the lending landscape. The traditional method of going to a bank, filling out tedious applications and submitting tons of paperwork only to get denied four to eight weeks later has been replaced by a much more efficient system. The online lending approach starts with filling out a survey regarding your business loan requirement. Using proprietary software, each of the systems analyzes your responses and matches you with a lender that has “pre-approved” your situation. Within a few days, if not hours, of submitting your questionnaire, you are contacted by lenders who will ask follow-up questions and wrap up the loan details. These lenders are still going to want to see such documents as tax returns (personal and business), financial statements and credit reports. Depending upon the type of loan product, you can

Commercial Real Estate Bruce Kaplan borrowers. The next stop on the list is www. boefly.com. This program is in the same vein as Lendio, but a calculator on the home page gives end borrowers an interactive tool to engage with and start the request. Then comes www.matchfinance. com. This site is in the space of finding borrowers a likely lender to match their needs. They have multiple loan types and are focused on the borrowers. The new kid, www.connectlending.com, is in the space of finding loans that correspond with a lender’s needs, but their twist is they focus on the interaction with the advisers (brokers). Connect Lending goes one further, and also shares a percent of its income generated on the deal with the advisers. This is one feature I found very interesting when comparing the lot.

expect loan funding within three to six weeks after all documentation is submitted. One of the features of these sites, is the revolutionary loan process where there are no upfront fees to submit an application. Many banks today are back in the market to lend money to qualified buyers, but it’s finding the right partners at the right time that’s still tricky. Because of the down economy in the past five years, many people have had damaged credit. Bad credit scores (under 700 FICO score) will trip you up if you apply for a loan just about anywhere. Connect Lending, I believe, is the only one that has an arm of the company dedicated to helping fix your credit score so you can eventually qualify for a loan. I don’t think your current personal banker will do that for you. I don’t want to tell you to steer away from your current business bank if you have a good relationship and they want to lend you money at a competitive rate. But

let’s face it, not every bank is eager to make commercial real estate loans with fair rates and terms. Too many banks have been burned with poor performing loans and the federal regulators have held them back from making new loans to customers. Using some of the options above can actually keep your current banker honest if they have to compete for your business. If there is any takeaway from this article to be had, please know the market has started to turn and some lenders are rich with cash they want to lend at still very attractive interest rates. If you are not getting the right attitude from your current banking relationship and you need to explore a commercial real estate or other business loan, feel free to contact me. • Bruce Kaplan is a senior broker associate with Premier Commercial Realty in Lake in the Hills.

Mazda plans to increase overseas production • MAZDA Continued from page E1 After its partnership with Ford ended three years ago, Mazda needed a new approach. Mazda says it took the process a step further and unified platforms and parts at the design and development stage. It believes it has elevated the standard for an assembly line that can produce multiple size vehicles to a new level of leanness and efficiency. Mazda officials said it will introduce all the innovations it came up with for the Hofu plant they call “the mother plant” at its new plant in Mexico, set to go into production next year. The Hofu plant, first opened in 1981, rolled out its 10 millionth car, a Mazda6 sedan, off its line Tuesday. “We see this as one step toward further growth,” President Masamichi Kogai said at a roll-off celebration, where workers set off party crackers and shouted, “Go for it.” The Hofu plant produced 350,000 vehicles last year, down from its peak at above 500,000 in 2007, but that’s recovering this year to about 400,000 vehicles. Still, Mazda has gone through hard times. Ford, which had owned a third of Mazda and was its main partner for three decades, including in key markets such as

• BLUECHERRY Continued from page E1 For BlueCherry, which opened in June in Barrington to a waiting crowd that stretched down Hough Street, differentiation equates with community involvement. The shop sponsors local high school and youth sports teams, and keeps an eye out for collaborative opportunities large and small. Along with offering an ever-changing array of flavors such as Georgia peach,

cake batter and peanut butter, and a dizzying choice of toppings, BlueCherry has set about developing customer loyalty through simple good deeds, Ulrich said. Take it from Barrington residents Julia Stegvik, 12, and Reilly Ramsey, 11, who, with permission, stood in front of the store Aug. 19 selling lemonade for $1 a glass to benefit victims of the Moore, Okla., tornado. “This is our third time here, and they said whatever we make here, they’ll match it,” Reilly said.

Mazda employees work on the assembly line of the Mazda6 model at its plant in Hofu, Japan. Thailand, China and the U.S., gradually pulled out. The U.S. automaker, based in Dearborn, Mich., gave up its top stakeholder position in Mazda in 2010. At a time when Japanese rivals are moving production abroad, Mazda still produces 60 percent of its vehicles in Japan. Of the vehicles produced at Hofu, 94 percent are exports. That has left Mazda

vulnerable in periods when the yen is strong. But the unfavorable currency rate has changed course since last year, providing an unexpected lift for the Hiroshimabased automaker. Mazda had homed in on cost cuts and efficiency partly because it wanted to be able to eke out profits even with a high yen.

Walter Lippmann, who originated the terms “Cold War” and “stereotype,” said, “It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: The music is nothing if the audience is deaf.” At the bridge table, the auction is nothing if the players are deaf to it. This deal would be impossible for anyone who did not remember the bidding; it would be testing for someone who did. How should South plan the play in three no-trump? West leads his fourth-highest heart. East wins with his ace and returns the three, his original fourth-highest. (If he had started with only three hearts, he would have led back his higher remaining card in the suit.) To be honest, although it was best here, I disapprove of West’s opening lead. With no side-suit entry, he should have led his spade. (The last time I did not lead partner’s suit, diamonds, they made three no-trump vulnerable instead of going down three.) South has eight top tricks: three spades, one heart and four clubs. He does not have time to play on diamonds, so

must get four spade tricks. With silent opponents, declarer would cash his ace and queen, but that does not rate to work here, needing West to have a singleton jack. South should hope that West has a singleton eight or nine. Declarer plays a club to dummy’s 10, then leads speciically the spade 10. If East plays low, South runs the 10. If East covers with his jack, declarer wins with his ace (or queen) and happily notes the fall of the eight on his left. He returns to the dummy with a club, plays a spade to his seven, and can claim.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Be observant and nonjudgmental with peers and partners in the year ahead. Take care of your own responsibilities before taking on another’s cause. Diplomacy will be required if you’re to maintain your popularity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When dealing with people who can influence your future, you should keep your emotions hidden. Present your best and most talented traits and refrain from complaining or criticizing others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Venture out amongst friends and peers who have something to offer you. Getting out and socializing will lead to a new and very valuable relationship. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t get angry, get moving. If you want to meet your goals, you’ll need to work quickly. A conversation could prove important to your work or career. Your eagerness and inventive outlook will impress the right people. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When talking to an important someone, keep your wits about you and resist saying something you will regret. Proceed with caution and put greater emphasis on improving what you have to offer instead of on what others lack. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your family or loved ones could coerce you into making some bad financial decisions. You’ll need to find alternatives that make them happy without breaking the bank. Devote some time to your own projects as well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- How you present yourself will make a difference to the outcome of a legal, financial or medical situation. Do your best and be your best, and things will work out just fine. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Conduct business matters without showing emotion, and you’ll make deals and sign contracts with confidence. Ask for what you want and don’t hesitate to make last-minute changes that will increase your returns. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Expect sudden reversals with regard to partnership situations. To avoid further trouble, retreat and sort through what’s happened instead of overreacting. A challenging physical activity could help ease your stress. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An intellectual challenge will boost your confidence and put you in a good position. Networking functions will bring you in touch with serious partners. Nurture relationships to avoid discord down the line. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Say little and do a lot. The difference you make to a cause will impress someone who can help you raise your profile. Romance should be scheduled for late in the day. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Get into shape, start a diet and do whatever it takes to feel better about your appearance. It won’t take much -- just a small change to your routine will do wonders for your confidence. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Expand your interests and your friendships to learn some valuable new skills and make crucial work contacts. What you learn and who you meet will be quite useful down the line.
