McHENRY COUNTY DIVISION OF TRANSPORTATION MAKES DISCOVERY

Historical find

Village president defends prior decision on veterans shelter By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

McHenry County Division of Transportation Project Design Engineer Ernest Varga describes documents that spell out how the county’s road system first was established. An old document from the 1930s that was found this spring that led the DOT on a quest that eventually uncovered more than 300 pages of road papers.

Old documents lay out county road system By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An unusual finding at the bottom of a drawer at the McHenry County Division of Transportation led to the discovery of more than 300 old documents that laid the foundation for much of the county road system we know today. The “Harmony linen,” as employees have come to call it, is a document typed and drawn on a 28-by-19inch wax-preserved Irish linen that settled a land dispute filed by a property owner along Harmony Road, which stretches from Huntley west to the Boone County line. But to Project Design Engineer Ernest Varga, who stumbled across it, the linen represented a mystery to be solved. No one had seen anything like it before – it was dated 1939, and referenced state road laws dating back to 1847, or just 11 years after the county’s founding. “This had to have been done for a reason. This was not done on a lark,” Varga said. A penciled-in note referenced another “road paper” supposedly held at the county clerk’s office, Assistant County Engineer Jeff Young said. While the linen stumped the county clerk’s office employees, longtime clerk Kathie Schultz recognized the clerk’s signature and the seal authenticat-

HEBRON – Village President John Jacobson on Monday signed a grant application for a homeless veterans shelter in Hebron, but he defended his original decision to withhold his endorsement to try to have the shelter’s owners fund water improvements. He also used a former village president to help make his case during the Village Board meeting. Addressing a room full of veterans, Jacobson and former Village President Frank Beatty detailed a long history of Transitional Living Services refusing to cooperate and build a larger water main underneath the New Horizons homeless shelter, despite a 14-year-old annexation agreement requiring one. Jacobson said he added extra conditions to a water main project the board approved Oct. 20 to try to secure a firmer commitment from Transitional Living Services. One of those conditions involved TLS paying the owners of nearby Hoops Bar and Grill $5,000 to help them construct a new water well within the

“Our board and our town need a commitment, and that’s what I would like to get – a commitment. I want to sign [the application]. I have no problem with signing it. Just give our board a commitment.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – From memorial services to dedications, residents and elected officials marked the oneyear anniversary Monday of deadly tornadoes that tore through central and southern Illinois, leaving more than half a dozen people dead and destroying numerous homes and businesses. Among the hardest hit was the central Illinois community of Washington, where more than 1,000 buildings were destroyed and three people died. Mayor Gary Manier said the recovery process has brought people together. “As we get through life, we get so busy. Sometimes we don’t know all our neighbors. Now, everybody’s holding block parties. They’re all friends because they helped each other out of basements. They helped clean debris off of other properties with each other,” Manier told Chicago’s WLS-TV for a story published online Monday. “It just made us even closer.” About two dozen tornadoes hit Illinois on Nov. 17 of last year. Seven people died

Rauner wants to fight Madigan with cash, compromise Last December, Bruce Rauner appeared on a WLS Radio talk show program and revealed that he planned to form a new campaign committee to counter the power of Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. “We’re gonna raise a PAC, we’re gonna raise a fund dedicated to the state Legislature, members of both parties who take the tough votes,” Rauner said. “We’ve gotta protect the members who take tough votes.” “Right now,” Rauner continued, “Madigan controls the Legislature from his little pot of cash. It isn’t that much money. And he runs the whole state government out of that pot. We need a pro-business, pro-growth, pro-limited government, pro-tax reduction PAC down there in Springfield working with the Legislature for those who take tough votes.” Word is that Rauner’s new legislative PAC will be launched relatively soon – perhaps after the governor-elect’s transition committee has finished its job. Rod Blagojevich tried the same thing with his Move Illinois Forward PAC several years ago. As I pointed out on my blog when Rauner revealed his plans, Blagojevich’s PAC didn’t work out all that well, partly because Blagojevich was relying on a Democratic donor base which didn’t want to step too hard on Madigan’s toes.

LOTTERY

CAPITOL EFFECTS Rich Miller Rauner, of course, won’t have that problem. And he also has plenty of his own cash. But how “little” is Madigan’s “pot of cash”? Well, the House Republicans believe that when it’s all said and done, Madigan and his candidates will have spent $10 million. An Election Day tally showed Madigan had raised $5.7 million during the cycle, but add in the money raised by his targeted candidates and the total rises to $10.6 million, plus another $290,000 in reported independent expenditures. The tally was conducted by Kent Redfield, an emeritus professor of political science at the University of Illinois at Springfield, a longtime reformer and a pal. House Republican Leader Jim Durkin’s committees raised $4 million, but add a million dollars in independent expenditures and the money raised by Durkin’s candidates (much of it from contributions by the state Republican Party – via Rauner) and Durkin’s number rises to almost $7.9 million. What Rauner is attempting to do here is strengthen his own hand as

governor and maybe try to entice some of Speaker Madigan’s members into breaking party ranks on occasion. But Madigan controls just about every aspect of a House Democrat’s existence. Everything from office and staff assignments, to committee assignments, to bills getting called, to patronage and perks like his numerous season tickets at Chicago sports stadiums, you gotta go through him. And if you try the nectar of a competing sugar daddy, things can get ugly. But, hey, more competition is probably good for the system, so long as it doesn’t escalate into Blagojevichian levels of utter insanity. But the governor-elect might want to also take a few minutes and read a Chicago Sun-Times story from 2012 in which Speaker Madigan explained what he most respected about the seven governors he had served with. Actually, he didn’t say anything nice about the imprisoned Blagojevich, and didn’t have too many kind words for our outgoing Gov. Pat Quinn, but he did heap praise on two Republicans, Jim Thompson and George Ryan. Of Thompson, who was governor for a record 14 years, Madigan said, “a very intelligent person, a quick learner, very flexible. He understood ... that you need to fashion compromise if you need to move forward.”

OFFICE 7717 S. Route 31, Crystal Lake, IL 60014 815-459-4040 Fax: 815-477-4960 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday

On Ryan, who like Madigan was once the Illinois House Speaker, “George would say, ‘We’ve got problems – what do we have to do to solve these problems?’ … “A [legislative] leader might want to evade the question, he might have a strategic plan they’re working and don’t want to answer today. And George would just pursue, persist, ‘I want an answer!’” Former Gov. Jim Edgar accompanied Rauner on his final campaign swing. Madigan was less effusive in his praise, “a little more strident than Gov. Thompson ... more willing to engage in protracted negotiations in order to get what he wanted, especially out of the budget.” Even so, Madigan and Edgar did get plenty of things done. Rauner will obviously have his own style, and he’ll have his own battles that will have to be fought with Madigan. But there’s no getting around the man. If the governor-elect meant it when he said on election night that he wants to find bipartisan solutions to the state’s many problems, he’ll notice how Madigan admires governors who forcefully attempt to overcome problems and move the state forward. He can be worked with.

LOCAL BRIEFS Police: Man tried to light someone on fire HARVARD – A Harvard man was arrested Nov. 11 after police said he threatened to light a household member on fire, then proceeded to spray and ignite lighter fluid inside a residence. Officers from the Harvard Police Department responded about 3:45 p.m. to a domestic disturbance at an apartment building at 204 N. Eastman St. in Harvard, police said. Joseph M. Kusek, 42, reportedly threatened to spray lighter fluid on a household member, then went on to spray fluid in a common interior hallway, a Harvard police news release said. Harvard Police Chief Mark Krause said he believed the incident stemmed from a disagreement between people within the residence and added the person Kusek threatened was not a family member. When police tried to enter, the release said Kusek forced his body against the exterior door and began lighting the fluid with a cigarette lighter, police said. Krause said there was a small fire, which responding officers were able to extinguish. Kusek was charged with attempted arson, resisting a peace officer and assault. He was taken into custody and transported to the McHenry County Jail in lieu of bond.

Cary has been working on its comprehensive plan for the past year, and one of the goals listed in the draft document is relocating the station to the west side, or inbound side of the railroad tracks. Stations usually are located on the inbound side of the tracks, but Cary’s station is on the outbound side.

“Metra station improvements/upgrades have been a key component of the comprehensive plan,” Village Administrator Chris Clark wrote in an email to the Northwest Herald. “This will be great news for resident commuters and downtown Cary.” This is the second Metra station upgrade in the county in recent years. Last year, Metra completed a $3.5 million upgrade at the Fox River Grove station, which included an expanded platform, an additional warming area and an enlarged warming shelter with bathrooms and vendor space.

Woman says she was attacked in lot By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com

ALGONQUIN – The Algonquin Police Department is investigating an incident involving a woman who described being attacked by three people Friday in the Algonquin Commons parking lot. Police responded at 9:30 p.m. Friday to a reported battery, a news release from the Algonquin police said. Algonquin Deputy Chief John Bucci added the incident occurred between 7 and 7:30 p.m. The victim told police she was attacked from behind by three people, two white males and one white female with long brown hair. The three were said to be wearing all

black clothing. No weapons were displayed during the attack, but the woman suffered minor injuries in the face, back and abdomen from being hit with fists, Bucci said. The offenders did not take any of the victim’s belongings, but they did enter her vehicle to search for unknown items. The attack is being viewed as an isolated incident as there only has been one other incident in March 2014 in the area of the Algonquin Commons. The offender in that case, who used a screwdriver to steal a purse, has since been located and arrested for committing a robbery, the release said. Anyone who was at the Algonquin Commons during the time of the attack is encouraged to call the Algonquin Police Department Investigations Division with information, Bucci said.

McHENRY COUNTY Hultgren seeks intern for spring semester

LAKE IN THE HILLS – The Village Board has adopted its $5.4 million property tax levy. The estimated levy is about $2,000 less than last year’s levy, according to a memo from Lake in the Hills Finance Director Rich Hentschel. Hentschel estimated the tax rate to increase to 0.974 per $100 of equalized assessed property value from 0.946. He attributed the increase in the tax rate to the estimated 2.9 percent decrease in property values in the village. “Each individual property owner’s real estate tax bill will fluctuate based on the percentage change in EAV for each property as compared to the percentage change for the entire village,” Hentschel wrote in a memo to village trustees. The village has decreased its levy each year since 2010, according to village documents. The levy was adopted last week.

The program aids the community in many ways as children interact positively with a police officer who picks up a child at his home, giving him or her a ride in the squad car to an area store where the child receives a winter coat, gloves and boots along with $150 for shopping for the holiday for themselves and others. After shopping, the police officers take the children out for breakfast. While they dine, members of MC3 and other volunteers wrap the presents. Hats off to McHenry Area Chamber’s Referral Group MC3.

Organizations depart from a community or totally shut down for a number of reasons, but seldom is it because of entities we like to poke fingers at. Sometimes it’s because of lack of land space in a community when expanding, sometimes it’s due to an inflexible landlord, but most likely more than any other reason an organization exits is because the community doesn’t support its business. Now there are reasons for this lack of support, and it’s not always the fault of the shoppers. Often a business model has merchandise or products that don’t meet the demographics of a community

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Kane County is preparing to harness power from the sun. After months of discussions about powering county facilities with solar panels, the Energy and Environmental Committee last week directed staff to identify two buildings for a pilot program. From there, a request for proposals will be drafted, and the projects will go out to bid. Mike Donahue, R-Geneva, has been a proponent for the project and spent his last county meeting as a board member fighting for it. His term ends this month, as he did not seek re-election. He initially preferred the county start such a program at a large facility, such as the Kane County Judicial Center, but said he would be OK with starting with a smaller building, such as Animal Control. “I’d rather see the county do something rather than nothing,” Donahue said. Thursday, the committee

Lake in the Hills

heard from two companies – WCP Solar and Convergence Energy – about two potential financing structures for solar power. WCP Solar presented a leasing program while Convergence Energy offered a power purchase agreement model. Donahue said the county should draft the RFP in a way that permits bidders to propose whatever financing structure they think will win their business. At the same time, he said, it should include certain parameters so the committee can easily compare the proposals. The committee will evaluate those parameters next month, Committee Chairman Kurt Kojzarek, R-Gilberts, said. The county had explored the possibility of purchasing its own solar power system, but a feasibility analysis of five buildings – the juvenile justice center, the judicial center, the sheriff’s office, animal control and court services – showed it wouldn’t be economically viable without significant rebates or incentives.

in the aftermath, and injuries played a role in the January death of an eighth person. The communities with some of the worst damage included Pekin and Gifford in central Illinois, and Brookport in southern Illinois. While the local governments in Illinois were denied federal disaster funding, the state provided millions to help through the rebuilding and recovery process. Washington received $13.4 million and Brookport got $2.9 million, according to Gov. Pat Quinn’s office. The Chicago Democrat’s Monday itinerary included stops in Washington and Brookport. In Washington, local officials and Republican U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock gathered at a park for prayers and a moment of silence. Quinn thanked volunteers and reflected on the recovery efforts. “Tragedy struck Illinois last November, but we refused to give up on these towns no matter how long it took for them to get back on their feet,” Quinn said in a statement. Washington officials have said they are making major progress in rebuilding. Officials estimated that 75 percent of the 1,108 buildings will be rebuilt by the end of the year but that the number might climb as high as 90 percent by the end of next year, according to The Peoria Journal Star.

Residents pause for a moment of silence Monday during a prayer service at LaHood Park in Washington, Ill., on the first anniversary of the tornado that touched down in the Tazewell County community. Washington officials estimate 75 percent of the 1,108 buildings will be rebuilt by the end of 2014. Washington was among the hardest hit areas in the November 2013 tornadoes. BELOW: A man walks through what is left of a neighborhood in Washington on Nov. 18, 2013, a day after a tornado ripped through the town. Gleason called the numbers “amazing” because officials expected only about half the buildings would be rebuilt by 2014’s end. In the small central Illinois farming community of Gifford, attendees of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church reflected on the past year during Sunday services. “Just a year ago, a tornado paid a brief but brutal visit to our community,” St. Paul’s pastor, the Rev. Steven Lombardo, told congregants, according to the Champaign News-Gazette. “In the space of seconds, life changed.”

County’s original book of minutes discovered in 2009 Continued from page A1 If the board agreed more study was needed, after a hearing in which supporters and opponents could weigh in, the board would send “viewers,” a predecessor to today’s surveyors, to walk the proposed route.

Young said the discovered documents included original petitions, hearing notices and the original layouts the viewers proposed, plus plans for roads that ultimately were rejected. The documents regarding Harmony Road were referenced in the 1939 “Harmony linen” to settle the dispute. “It’s fascinating because

now we’re actually seeing the original documents before there were roads anywhere, and why they needed them,” Young said. Varga said the discovery of the box of “road papers,” which he still is in the process of going through, ends a threeyear quest that began with the Harmony linen. He and others took to the project in their

spare time when they were not working on official county business. The discovery is not the first interesting county historical find in recent years. The county’s original book of minutes, which covered 1837 to 1848 and laid down many or its original laws, was found in 2009 in the collection of a downstate antique store.

next two years, if the McHenry County Department of Health required it. Hoops is located near the New Horizons shelter. “Our board and our town need a commitment, and that’s what I would like to get – a commitment,” Jacobson said. “I want to sign [the application]. I have no problem with signing it. Just give our board a commitment.” Jacobson reiterated before he signed the group’s grant application that he wanted the project completed by 2016. As originally required by the village in the early 2000s, a larger main at the TLS property would have allowed Hoops Bar and Grill to connect to the village’s water supply, Jacobson said. The move would create more revenue for Hebron and help officials pay off a sewer plant loan constraining Hebron’s finances, he said. But representatives from the veterans group said they already agreed to raise funds and secure grants to finance a larger water main that would have solved the past issues with the annexation agreement. The board went as far as approving a project timeline on Oct. 20, TLS attorney Steve Cuda said. Transitional Living only objected to the water main project after Jacobson added extra conditions involving Hoops to the project, following the board’s vote, Cuda said. Jacobson also leveraged the grant application to try and strong-arm the

group into agreeing to the conditions, TLS representatives had said. “All of this stuff about what happened years ago is not what we are here for,” Cuda said. “We are here because we are committed to what was discussed and voted on that Oct. 20 meeting. We take a offense that less than 24 hours later the village reneged on its vote.” Despite the disagreement, Jacobson signed the grant application, while TLS representatives agreed they would do everything in their power to construct a new water main by 2016. The controversial Hoops provision was not a part of the discussion. TLS Board Chairman Jim O’Malley emphasized before Jacobson signed the grant application that Transitional Living would need to raise the money through fundraising and grants since the nonprofit doesn’t have enough money. Meanwhile, the owners of Hoops clarified that Jacobson approached them about connecting to the village’s water supply after learning that the health department was requesting the bar to build a new well. Owner Gus Kordopitoulas said that Hoops is content with building a new well, adding the health department made the request because the bar’s current well is aging. He said he was never aware that Jacobson attempted to have Transitional Living pay Hoops $5,000 to help construct a new well. “We never would dream of that,” Kordopitoulas said. “I don’t know how that all came about.”

When Getting a Nissan Hardbody Truck on Stage at Raue Center, All Hands on Deck SPONSORED BY

How do you dance with a one-ton truck? That’s a question most people don’t ask themselves everyday. Unless you’re Mike Vandercook, head of production at Raue Center for the Arts. and Williams Street Repertory’s newest production, Hands on a Hardbody. The answer? Go to Colorado, my friend! That’s where Vandercook found the truck for a reprisal of its original role at Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre. It has been specially modified in order to reduce the weight. “The weight reduction allows for the ease of the performers’ movement and to incorporate the choreography,” says Vandercook. “Also, the reduction helps the performers turn the truck on the pneumatic castors.” The Hardbody is mounted on a cushion of air, allowing the performers to dance with the truck as though it were

another character. It is the title character, in fact. The musical centers on a contest in which the contestants’ hands are required to stay in contact with the truck. Last one with their “hands on the hardbody” drives away with the prize. How far would you go if a truck was more than a truck, but also a prop? A piece of the set? A character? A dance partner? Mike Vandercook seems to think the answer is in the details, saying, “The truck is the most mechanically complex piece of scenery in a production of an impressive scale.” Noting that despite the challenges of putting a one-ton truck on stage, the pay off of seeing this “mechanically complex” prop will be well worth it. Hands on a Hardbody is in rehearsal now, and being staged at Raue Center for the Arts November 21 to December 7.

Classes launch medical assistants SPONSORED BY

One year of classes meeting twice a week, can result in a medical assistant job in high demand in multiple medical businesses. Doctor’s offices, hospitals, clinics, and other heathcare practices need medical assistants to partner with doctors and nurses for managing front office business, and basic patient contact. First Institute’s Medical Assistant Program offers a variety of training classes to produce multi-talented students, including “Anatomy and Physiology.” This class provides an introduction of the various body systems, plus principles of human physiology. Like any business, healthcare jobs use specific terminology. Taking the “Medical Terminology” class imbues students with jobspecific language to make them more effective on the job, and familiar with terms unique to the medical profession. “Computer Billing” classes teach students computer operations, and software applications used in healthcare environments. With doctors’ offices converting to electronic healthcare systems, this class familiarizes students

with computer applications operating in multiple healthcare settings. All medical procedures are assigned a code to track billing to the patient, and insurance company. Learning the mechanics of this intricate system is covered in “Medical Insurance Billing and Coding.” Students learn the importance of keeping accurate billing records, and processing information. “Clinical Procedures” classes introduce the basic hands-on clinical skills needed, including taking a patient’s vital signs, assisting with basic and specialty exams, and preparing patients for treatment. In “Medical Office Procedures,” students gain a fundamental knowledge of how a medical office works, and what’s needed to maintain efficiency.

For more information on Medical Assisting Classes, or other healthcare classes, contact First Institute, (815) 459-3500, or visit www.ﬁrstinstitute.com. In business since 1982, First Institute offers workforce development training at four campuses, including Crystal Lake. adno=0298115

SKETCH VIEW

A new first lady for Illinois Illinois hasn’t had a first lady for nearly six years, since Patti Blagojevich, wife of the impeached and convicted Rod Blagojevich, left the position. Because Gov. Pat Quinn is divorced, the state has had no first lady since he became governor in January 2009. But in January 2015, when Gov.-elect Bruce Rauner takes office, his For the record wife, Diana, will assume the Diana Rauner has prompted mantle. our curiosity about her future In recent years, first ladies role and its potential impact on Illinoisans. have assisted their husbands in various ways. From 2003 to 2009, Patti Blagojevich fought illiteracy, supported eyesight programs for children and favored the planting of greenery native to Illinois along public thoroughfares. From 1999 to 2003, Lura Lynn Ryan assisted her husband, George, in the areas of organ donation, drug and alcohol abuse programs, the arts and historic preservation. From 1991 to 1999, Brenda Edgar promoted adoption and issues regarding children and women during husband Jim’s tenure. From 1977 to 1991, Jayne Thompson cochaired the Governor’s Task Force on Day Care and performed other duties in support of her husband, James “Big Jim” Thompson, the state’s longest-serving governor. Diana Rauner, who holds a doctorate in developmental psychology and a master’s degree in business administration, is executive director of the Ounce of Prevention Fund in the Chicago area, according to businessweek. com. Along with educational philanthropy, she has been involved with public agencies and private foundations and also worked in investment banking. Diana Rauner sounds like a busy person. As Election Day approached, she accompanied her husband more often at campaign events and appeared in a television ad, thus prompting our curiosity about her future role and its potential impact on Illinoisans. Whatever she chooses to do as Illinois’ new first lady, we wish her the best of luck.

ANOTHER VIEW

Deception must stop Americans of every stripe should echo The Associated Press’ recent demand that the Federal Bureau of Investigation never present its agents as journalists again. This appeal comes after the FBI acknowledged two weeks ago that one of its agents posed as an AP reporter to snare a teenager making bomb threats against a Thurston County high school in 2007. FBI Director James B. Comey argued in a Friday letter to The New York Times that, when such tactics are employed, they are done “reasonably and legally,” and are subject to close court supervision. Journalists disagree, and so should anyone who values the fundamental freedoms of American life. If sources think that journalists are cooperating with law enforcement, or actually are law-enforcement officers, those sources with important information to tell would not trust reporters. Stories would not be shared, investigated, published. The watchdog would not be as strong. The AP’s demand is grounded in the constitutional guarantee that the press be free from any government interference. More fundamentally, that First Amendment aegis preserves the freedom to share ideas and convey information vital to a functioning republic. By impersonating journalists, the FBI directly infringes upon the freedoms the Founding Fathers explicitly safeguarded in the Bill of Rights. And instead of ensuring the safety of Americans, the secretive intelligence agency could be endangering the lives of America’s truth-tellers. Such impersonations could imperil the safety of journalists if violent sources, at home and abroad, suspect they are cops instead. Some of America’s enemies believe that American intelligence operatives often pose as reporters to affect credible and free-ranging cover identities. By using this ruse at home, the FBI legitimizes these suspicions abroad. And American journalists might be endangered because of it. No U.S. agency – whether the FBI, Central Intelligence Agency, or some other entity so shrouded in secrecy that we don’t know it exists – should ever allow its agents to masquerade as news gatherers. This deception undermines core American principles. It should stop. Seattle Times

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Don’t blame Low To the Editor: A recent letter printed on this page absurdly criticized Mayor Sue Low for the impending closure of the Target store and blamed her for Walmart relocating several years ago. That is very uninformed and naive criticism. Corporate stores such as Walmart and Target base their decisions on a lot of complicated factors, such as corporate marketing strategies, new store designs and cost-cutting strategies. A mayor in a town such as McHenry has absolutely no input or impact on such corporate decision-making. Blaming Mayor Low for Walmart deciding it needed to build a much larger store or Target deciding it needed to close some of its lowerperforming stores nationwide is like saying it is your neighbor’s fault for losing his job when it is his company that decided to move production overseas. Thomas J. Popovich

Obama’s policies rejected To the Editor: On Oct. 2, President Barack Obama said, “I am not on the ballot this fall. ... But make no

mistake: These policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them.” He was right. His failed economic policies, porous borders, an unpopular health care law and his support for an amnesty for illegal aliens were all on the ballot. On Nov. 4, these policies were all soundly rejected.

District 300 levy a disaster To the Editor: In reference the Northwest Herald article of Oct. 29, in which District 300 projects a tax levy increase, evidently Budgeting 101 is not in their repertoire. While homeowners’ property values are expected to drop 3.8 percent, the district proposes a 2.8 percent increase over last year. The article states that the district is mindful of the declining area home values. Really? Here are a couple of issues I have regarding the tax increase. How imperative was it to move the districts administrative offices to the west side of the Fox River? What is the cost of the new building being built? I am neither an architect nor a builder, but I do know the addition of windows to a building cost a lot more

than bricks. Check out the new building, which has more than 60 windows. I’ll bet even the closet has a window. The article also states that $2.2 million, or 1.3 percent, of the increase will be covered by new property construction. Please show me where there is any new construction in our area? If the projection is inaccurate, how is the shortfall made up? District 300 resembles the Star Wars character Jabba the Hutt, who was an obese, slimy character who ate small amphibians, but in this case it eats real estate tax dollars.

Veterans Day kindness To the Editor: I want to thank Kenny’s Floor-

ing in Johnsburg for being so kind to me the other day when Kenny sent over a young man to deliver my flooring. This young man went out of his way to help me. I was telling him it was hard to find someone to help move a washer and dryer out of my laundry room, and out of the blue he says, “I’ll move it for you.” He went to my garage, got my two-wheeler and moved my units to the hall for me. I had just had major surgery. I was so surprised this young man did this for me. I even wanted to give him money, but he would not take it. Kenny’s Flooring should be very proud to have this man working for them. This was a nice Veterans Day for me. Retired Staff Sgt. John E. Johnson, USAF McHenry

Cyberattacks threaten your bank, your grid and you SAN FRANCISCO – Years ago, hackers planted malicious software on computer systems that control parts of the United States’ critical infrastructure, including pieces of the electrical grid, gas and water systems. The malware, which the Department of Homeland Security warned about only last month, was dubbed BlackEnergy and traced back to the Russian government. Whatever they were up to, the cyber-infiltrators didn’t use the digital weapons they’d planted to do any damage. “This suggests that attackers are collecting detailed information on systems and processes running the vital infrastructure of the U.S ... to coordinate further attacks,” said Pierluigi Paganini, a security analyst who publishes the blog SecurityAffairs. The DHS conjectured that attackers planted the threat to deter a future U.S. attack. (Remember Stuxnet?) The BlackEnergy intrusion is the kind of stuff national governments typically do in attacks against one another, but it also was reminiscent of a recent corporate hack that hit banking giant JPMorgan last summer. Intruders nosed

VIEWS Katie Benner around the bank’s systems from June to August, undiscovered and uninterrupted. They didn’t take sensitive information like credit card and Social Security numbers, the stuff that sells for a lot of money on the black market. But they did leave malware in the network that could possibly let them further exploit or control the company’s system any time they wanted. BlackEnergy and the JPMorgan hack have given researchers, government authorities and corporate guardians ample reason to wonder whether we’re watching a nascent but significant shift in the security landscape – one that suggests Corporate America is now subject to cyber-hacks and cyber-attacks once reserved for governments and critical infrastructure. The recent hacks, as well as others involving Target and the United States Postal Service, show attackers can squat on a network, undetected, for months. If motivated to do so, they could enter a system, study

it and learn how to do more than just steal information. David Cowan, a cybersecurity investor at Bessemer Venture Partners, said it’s a trend he’s watching closely. Some security professionals believe we’ll see corporate attacks become more destructive over the next year. Most criminals infiltrate a system to steal and sell data. It’s rare to see an attacker try to shut down or harm a company. “To take down a target, you put a price on your head,” said Jeremy Pickett, the head of threat research at the startup vArmour and a former infosec engineer at PayPal. “People hack for financial gain to make getting caught worthwhile. Ideologically motivated attacks only occur in extremely polarized areas, like Iraq.” But such attacks have happened, including a 2013 campaign that disabled three of South Korea’s biggest banks. The malware was traced back to China, and investigators suspected North Korea launched the attack. Remember Anonymous? That clan of cyberhackers also attacked U.S. corporations back in 2010 to show support for Julian Assange and Wikileaks.

They tried to shut down Amazon, PayPal, Visa and MasterCard. We’re living in what appears to be an increasingly polarized world, where relationships between large countries like the United States, Russia, China and Iran are becoming increasingly strained. That’s why Paganini likens the changing online threat to the arms race and acts of espionage that marked the Cold War battle that Russia and the U.S. waged after World War II and through the 1980s. The FBI recently said that every major U.S. corporation had been hacked by China. FBI director James Comey noted that the thieves didn’t try very hard to hide their tracks – he compared them to drunk burglars – but they still were able to get in and steal all sorts of sensitive business data. Imagine what attackers could do if they were able and willing to live, stealthily, inside a digital network, learn to control it and had motivations that were stronger and more passionate than theft or greed.

Treasurer’s race closest in at least a century Fewer than 400 votes separate Cross, Frerichs

in Illinois in at least a century. Election officials have until Tuesday to finish counting ballots in the race between Republican Tom Cross and Democrat Mike Frerichs. Cross’ campaign has alleged that hundreds of voters in suburban Chicago voted twice, and questions about the process in Chicago prompted officials to acknowledge setting aside more than 500 ballots for possible court action. But regardless of the outcome, the fight could be headed to a recount under a law that hasn’t been tested since it was enacted three decades

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – The race for state treasurer remains undecided nearly two weeks after Election Day, with both campaigns agreeing that fewer than 400 votes now separate the candidates in what could be the closest statewide race

ago. Neither side was talking about recounts Monday, saying they’re waiting for all the votes to be counted. “Everyone knew that this was going to be a very close election. Mike’s been coming from behind the whole time,” Frerichs’s spokesman Dave Clarkin said. “Now we’re all just doing whatever we can to monitor everything closely.” More than 3.4 million votes were cast in the race, but tens of thousands of ballots hadn’t been counted by Election Day because they were mailed in or cast on a provision basis, meaning they needed to be

checked to make sure voters were eligible. Local election officials will report their final results to the Illinois State Board of Elections, which will meet Nov. 30 to certify election results. If the current split holds – Cross says he leads by 381 votes, while Frerichs says it’s only 331 – the margin would obliterate the current record set in 1982, when GOP Gov. James Thompson defeated Democrat Adlai Stevenson III by 5,074 votes, according to an Associated Press analysis of election records since 1900. Cross, the former Illinois

House Minority Leader from Oswego, and his campaign are questioning the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners about the number of mailed ballots it has received and how it has accounted for them. The board released a letter late Friday rebutting a majority of the claims – but it did acknowledge that 99 mail-in ballots that were received too late to be counted were mingled with 459 legitimate ballots. All of those 558 ballots were separated for possible “postelection court proceedings.” “We’re still evaluating bal-

lots in the city of Chicago two weeks after the election,” said the Republican’s spokesman, Kevin Artl. “There’s an indeterminate number of ballots to be counted in Chicago still.” Elsewhere in Cook County, home to several Chicago suburbs, the party cross-checked the names on 8,000 provisional ballots with voters who had returned absentee ballots. Campaign officials said they found about 250 ballots that were cast by people who voted more than once. The campaign has turned its research over to the office of Cook County Clerk David Orr.

Future Chicago archbishop speaks 1st female mayor of By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The bishop set to become the leader of the third-largest diocese in the United States vowed Monday night that he will be active in the Chicago community by pushing for immigration reform, battling gang violence and helping the poor. Blase Cupich delivered the homily at Holy Name Cathedral, speaking to hundreds of civic and religious leaders, including his retiring predecessor, Cardinal Francis George. “You will find me a ready partner,” said Cupich, who on Tuesday will officially become the archbishop of Chicago, overseeing an archdiocese that includes more than 2 million parishioners. The service, called the Rite of Reception, started shortly after 7 p.m. Monday, with Cupich striking Holy Name’s front door three times, the sound of each blow reverberating through the hushed ca-

Cupich will be installed as the ninth Archbishop of Chicago on Tuesday. thedral. The door, symbolic of Jesus, swung open and then a procession slowly made its way down the center aisle, with applause erupting at the site of the 65-year-old Cupich and the 77-year-old George, who seemed frail from his battle with cancer, walking

slowly behind him. The service is at once steeped in tradition and symbolism, also marks the first time in the history of this archdiocese that a new bishop has assumed leadership while his predecessor is still alive. With George sitting in

the cathedra, the ceremonial chair that is occupied by the archbishop of Chicago, Cupich greeted several religious and civic leaders, including Gov. Pat Quinn and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. During the service, Cupich was presented with the Archdiocesan stole, a garment by priests, a signal that he is being welcomed into the archdiocese. “It is given to him by his [Chicago area] brother priests and when they give it to him it is an invitation for him to be the pastor,” said Michael Murphy, the director of Catholic Studies at Loyola University in Chicago. In selecting Cupich, 65, to succeed George, Pope Francis was widely seen as sending a message with his first major appointment in the United States that he wants the new leader of the nation’s third largest archdiocese as a pastor, someone who will emphasize mercy and minister to the disadvantaged.

Chicago laid to rest By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – A hearse carrying the body of Chicago’s first and only female mayor took a circuitous route Monday, driving down iconic avenues and by well-known city landmarks before arriving at a cemetery where she would be laid to rest. A city of Chicago flag draped Jane Byrne’s coffin earlier in the day at a funeral Mass at a North Side church, where current Mayor Rahm Emanuel was among those paying respects. Byrne died Friday at age 81. Standing over her casket, Emanuel said Byrne’s long list of accomplishments as mayor from 1979 to 1983 included bringing in new festivals and becoming the first Chicago mayor to openly embrace the gay community. “Today, every Chicagoan gives thanks to Jane Byrne,”

he said. “We are a better city because of her.” Byrne, a Democrat, overcame former Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley’s powerful political machine in 1979 to register a historic and improbable win. Her daughter, Kathy Byrne, told those gathered at the service at St. Vincent de Paul Church that her mother never took her good fortune in becoming mayor for granted. “She loved every minute as mayor,” the daughter said. Byrne could connect with wives of fallen police officers because she had lost her first husband to a plane crash in 1959, Kathy Byrne said. “She knew exactly what to say and what to do ... what that wife needed to do,” she said. She said her mother could be “a dragon-slaying, problem-solving ... guardian angel” in a crisis but eschewed those who wallowed in their misfortune.

Why airfare keeps rising despite lower oil prices By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ The Associated Press NEW YORK – U.S. airlines are saving tens of millions of dollars every week because of lower prices for jet fuel, their largest expense. So why don’t they share some of the savings with passengers? Simply put: Airlines have no compelling reason to offer any breaks. Planes are full. Investors want a payout. And new planes are on order. In fact, fares are going higher. And those bag fees that airlines instituted in 2008 when fuel prices spiked aren’t going away either. In the 12 months ending in September, U.S. airlines saved $1.6 billion on jet fuel. That helped them post a 5.7 percent profit margin in the first three quarters of this year, robust for the industry but lagging behind the 10 percent average for the Standard & Poor’s 500. In the past six years, airlines

have done a great job of adjusting the number of flights to fall just short of demand. As a result, those who want to fly will pay a premium to do so. Airlines are selling a record 85.1 percent of their domestic seats. Thanks to several mega-mergers, four big airlines control the vast majority of flights, leaving very little room for another airline to undercut fares. With that in mind, here’s a closer look at what’s going on with airfare and the price of jet fuel: • The average domestic airline ticket during the 12-month period ending in September rose 3.5 percent to $372.21, according to an Associated Press analysis of data from the Airlines Reporting Corp., which processes ticket transactions for airlines and travel agencies. That figure doesn’t include another $56 in taxes and fees that passengers pay. • In the 12-month period ending in September, U.S. airlines

• Put another way: U.S. airlines burn through 311 million gallons of fuel in a week. Lower fuel prices are saving them $31 million a week. • Granted, with 753 million passengers carried last year that averages out to a savings of $2.15 for each leg of a trip a passenger takes: $4.30 on a roundtrip nonstop ticket or $8.60 on a roundtrip connecting itinerary. • Fuel accounts for 34 percent of an airline’s operating costs. The non-fuel costs include salaries and benefits, AP file photo lease payments on airplanes, A worker hooks up a fuel hose to an airplane June 12, 2008, at Tampa maintenance and fees for landInternational Airport in Tampa, Fla.

Pope confirms Philly trip for meeting By KATHY MATHESON The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – Organizers of the World Meeting of Families for months were coy when asked if Pope Francis would come to Philadelphia for the massive Roman Catholic-sponsored gathering. It turns out that when the pontiff finally confirmed his attendance Monday, organizers already had gotten inside information from an unimpeachable source: Francis told Gov. Tom Corbett during a Vatican meeting in March that he would make the journey, his first papal visit to the United States. “The Holy Father answered our invitation by whispering three words in Tom’s ear: ‘I will come,’” said Susan Corbett, Pennsylvania’s first lady. Protocol kept them from saying anything publicly until now, she said at a news conference hours after the pope’s statement. Still, the timing of Francis’ announcement – made during an interreligious Vatican conference on traditional family values – came as a bit of a surprise and set cellphones abuzz in Philadelphia around 2:30 a.m. Organizers had not expected official word until later next year. The September voyage will come at a time when the U.S. church is trying to keep Catholics in the fold, including Latino immigrants who have been joining Protestant churches or leaving organized religion in significant numbers. Expectations also will be high for Francis to address the clergy sex abuse scandals. The World Meeting of Families is a conference held every three years in a different city to celebrate the importance of family. It will be the first

Catholic school students applaud during a news conference Monday at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Philadelphia. Pope Francis confirmed Monday that he will make his first papal visit to the United States with a trip to Philadelphia next September for the World Meeting of Families, a conference held every three years in a different city to celebrate the importance of family. pontifical trip to the U.S. since 2008. “What an historic day, and an unparalleled day for the city of Philadelphia,” Mayor Michael Nutter said. “We could not be more excited.” Details of Francis’ itinerary will not be finalized until next spring or summer, officials said. But his confirmed attendance will likely help spur fundraising for the huge event. Just over half of the $45 million budget has been raised so far, said Daniel J. Hilferty, president and CEO of Independence Blue Cross who also serves on the organizing committee. The pope also is expected to visit New York and Washington, but Vatican officials would not confirm those legs of the trip Monday. The Vatican’s envoy to the United Na-

tions strongly hinted last week Francis would visit New York to address world leaders at the General Assembly. The World Meeting of Families, set for Sept. 22 to 27, will feature several days of workshops, lectures and other activities. The conference – and the events surrounding it – are open to anyone who pays the registration fee. Francis is expected to participate in the gathering’s closing days and, like Pope John Paul II in 1979, celebrate a Mass on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. “We’re very, very grateful for this opportunity,” said Archbishop Charles Chaput, who was at the Vatican for Francis’ announcement Monday. Organizers expect more than a million people will

come to the papal events, some from as far as Francis’ native South America. Hotels within a 10-mile radius of downtown Philadelphia have already sold out, and organizers are hoping local families will volunteer to host visitors. Just last week, more than 10,000 Philadelphia Catholic schoolchildren sent handwritten notes encouraging the 77-year-old Francis to make the visit. A large crowd of enthusiastic students attended the news conference. “Pope Francis is probably one of my favorite people ever. ... I love how he’s just so open about everything,” said Emily McDermott, 16, a sophomore at Hallahan High School, an all-girls Catholic school. “This is amazing. Like they said, it’s history, so we were all just so proud to be a part of this.”

Man who died from Ebola endured treatment delays The ASSOCIATED PRESS OMAHA, Neb. – A surgeon who contracted Ebola in his native Sierra Leone did not receive aggressive treatment until nearly two weeks after he first started showing symptoms – a delay that doctors said probably made it impossible for anyone to save his life. Dr. Martin Salia was in the 13th day of his illness when he reached Omaha on Saturday. He had waited three days to be formally diagnosed after an initial test for Ebola came back negative. He then waited five more days to be flown to the United States. By the time the 44-year-old Maryland man got to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, the deadly virus had done too much damage, shutting down Salia’s kidneys and making breathing difficult, doctors said. He died Monday. “In the very advanced stages, even the modern techniques

we have at our disposal are not enough to help these patients once they reach a critical threshold,” said Dr. Jeffrey Gold, chancellor of the medical center. The virus has already killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa. Salia, who chose to work Martin Salia in his native country despite more lucrative opportunities elsewhere, was first tested for Ebola on Nov. 7, but the test was negative, and he was discharged from a treatment center in Sierre Leone. It’s not unusual to see false negative tests for Ebola in the early stages because the amount of the virus in the bloodstream is still low, said Dr. Phil Smith, the infectious-disease expert who leads the Nebraska Medical Center’s biocontainment unit. The U.S. government warns

doctors to be wary of possible false negative tests for Ebola. Salia tested positive for the disease Nov. 10 but did not arrive at an Omaha hospital until Saturday. Two other Ebola patients treated in Omaha this fall arrived at the hospital about a week earlier in their illnesses, before nausea, vomiting and more serious symptoms had set in. Both of those men recovered. Government officials in Sierra Leone promised a full investigation into the treatment Salia received. “At this point, we can’t say for certain whether it was this misdiagnosis or not that led to his death,” Deputy Information Minister Theo Nicol said in a statement to The Associated Press. The government planned to request a full medical report from the hospital where he was last treated. Salia, a permanent U.S. resident, was reportedly receiving blood from an Ebola survivor

while in Sierra Leone, the government statement said. The treatment is believed to provide antibodies to fight the virus. The government statement questioned whether “the strain of the 16-hour trip could have had a negative impact on his recovery.” Doctors with an air-transport service assessed Salia in Sierra Leone last week before deciding he was stable enough for the long flight to Nebraska. In Omaha, Salia was placed on kidney dialysis and a ventilator and was given several medications, the hospital said in a statement. He was given the experimental Ebola drug ZMapp on Saturday and received another plasma transfusion from an Ebola survivor. “I know that we gave him every possible chance to survive. I think that his family feels confident in that as well,” Dr. Daniel Johnson said Monday at a news conference.

and lobbying group, Airlines for America. That’s more than $1 billion a month, the highest pace since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. • Airlines are on the largest jet-buying spree in the history of aviation, ordering more than 10,000 new planes with manufacturers Airbus and Boeing in the past five years. Those orders are for new, fuel efficient planes. A temporary drop in oil prices shouldn’t slow that process. New jets last 15 to 20 years and the buying is driven by cheap credit almost as much as high oil prices. • Money also is going back to investors. American Airlines this year paid its first dividend in 34 years, while Delta Air Lines restored its payout last year. Southwest Airlines, which has paid a dividend for more than 37 years, boosted its payout by 50 percent this spring. The airlines are all also buying back large amounts of their own stock.

BRIEFS Bipartisan bill to revamp people from Los Angeles to Hawaii to Tahiti and back. federal child care aid WASHINGTON – Congress sent President Barack Obama compromise legislation on Monday revamping the government’s chief child care program for the first time in nearly two decades, including a requirement that federally subsidized providers conduct criminal background checks on their workers. The Democratic-led Senate voted 88-1 to give final congressional approval to the measure, with Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, the only no vote, two months after the Republican-controlled House passed it. In each chamber, it was endorsed by leading members of both parties, making it a rare instance of bipartisan cooperation in a Congress dominated by partisan strife.

Cruise that saw outbreak ends in L.A. LOS ANGELES – A nearly monthlong cruise that saw more than 170 passengers get sick with the gastrointestinal illness norovirus has ended in Los Angeles with a thorough cleaning of the ship. Carnival’s Crown Princess docked Sunday at the Port of Los Angeles after the voyage that took more than 4,100

Passengers who disembarked said the crew took extra steps to stem the outbreak. “In the dining rooms you were no longer allowed to take your utensils. Everything was handed to you. ... They had to serve you the food. And so those measures really, I think, reduced the number. It could have been far worse,” said Yvonne Lubos told KABC-TV.

Tough stances from Putin and Merkel MOSCOW – The leaders of Russia and Germany squared off over Ukraine from opposite sides of the globe, with Vladimir Putin warning that Moscow will not accept a defeat for the pro-Russian rebels and Angela Merkel accusing the Kremlin of undermining peace across Europe. But despite the harsh rhetoric, European Union foreign ministers refrained from increasing the sanctions against Moscow, voicing support for a floundering peace deal in eastern Ukraine that has been undermined by continuing hostilities. At least 10 people were killed and 17 others wounded in the latest fighting, authorities reported Monday.

Updates on Centegra Hospital-Huntley SPONSORED BY

ALWAYS LOOKING AHEAD

The construction at Centegra Hospital-Huntley is a constant source of news in the community, and Centegra Health System’s plans for the hospital’s services are just as exciting. Community members can already see what Centegra Hospital-Huntley will look like if they drive past the Centegra campus at Algonquin and Haligus Roads in Huntley. Construction crews have been busy putting up steel beams and most recently, the exterior walls have been put into place as the health system moves closer to seeing its first patients at the hospital in 2016. The roof of Centegra Hospital-Huntley will be completed in November and the outside of the hospital will be completely enclosed by March. This will give crews a little more than a year to complete the inside of the hospital before Centegra associates and physicians can begin to care for patients close to their homes in the Huntley area.

Once it is completed, Centegra Hospital-Huntley will be a 128-bed facility that offers private rooms and stateof-the-art technology to the community. A full-service emergency department will provide a full range of services including a chest pain center and cardiology care. A helipad will be built for the transfer of patients with the most critical needs. There will be a dedicated women’s center, and families will welcome their newest members at the Family Birth Center, which will also include a special care nursery. Centegra Health System has offered services in Huntley since 2004. Currently, the Huntley campus offers Centegra Immediate Care, Centegra Physician Care offices, outpatient medical imaging, the Centegra Back and Spine Center, outpatient rehabilitation, Centegra Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Clinics, the Centegra Healthy Living Institute and Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center.

Obama is firm but vague on immigration By ALICIA A. CALDWELL The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says he plans to help immigrants living illegally in the United States “get legal” without any action from Congress. And he promises to curb a system that he describes as deporting immigrants improperly. But the White House is vague about the changes the president is expected to announce soon. What can Obama actually do without the cooperation of Capitol Hill? Under current law, the president can direct immigration authorities to temporarily shield particular immigrants from deportation and give them permission to work in the country legally. But the president cannot

By MICHAEL R. BLOOD The Associated Press

give immigrants living in the country illegally green cards, visas or just about any other path to a permanent legal immigration status. Only Congress has that authority, and so far lawmakers have shown little interest in remodeling the country’s complex legal immigration system. Still, Obama’s hands are not tied. Two years ago, he launched the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program that lets young immigrants who came to the U.S. as children stay in the country without fear of deportation for two years. So far, more than 610,000 have benefited from that program. The president also can allow some people living in the country illegally to “parole in place,” during which time

Europeans have role in beheading video By LORI HINNANT The Associated Press PARIS – The cold-eyed militants lined up behind their victims in the latest Islamic State video appear to come from outside the Middle East, including one from France and possibly two from Britain, as the extremist group tries to show a global reach. The grisly video – clearly aimed at a Western audience – lingers as much on the faces of the camouflaged extremists as the men who are beheaded. The victims include American aid worker Peter Kassig and more than a dozen Syrian soldiers. The images of the Islamic State militants, who are shown one by one in close-up, allowed authorities to identify one of them Monday as a 22-year-old Frenchman who converted to radical Islam. Maxime Hauchard has been on the radar of French authorities since 2011 when he took two trips to Mauritania to attend a Quranic school, said Paris prosecutor

Francois Molins. The prosecutor said investigators were trying to determine if another Frenchman also is in the video. President Barack Obama confirmed Kassig’s slaying after a U.S. review of the video. The overwhelming majority of Islamic State fighters are from the Mideast, but the extremist group is trying to cement its claim on an Islamic empire straddling Iraq and Syria. Europe appears to be a fertile ground to find supporters, with officials saying thousands of young Europeans have headed off to jihad. More than 1,000 people in France alone are under surveillance for suspected plans to join the militants, officials said. “It’s quite transparent that IS is trying to exaggerate its base of support,” said Charlie Winter, a researcher at the Quilliam Foundation in London. “They are trying to show that Muslims from all over the world are protecting their Syrian brethren and their Iraqi brethren.”

they can apply to live in the country legally. Once they receive permission to stay, they can later apply to change their immigration status and possibly win a green card. An immigrant who holds a green card is a legal permanent resident and can eventually apply to become a U.S. citizen. In the past, the “parole in place” designation has been limited to helping very small numbers of immigrants stay in the United States, including spouses, parents and children of U.S. military personnel. A U.S. official who has been briefed on parts of the president’s executive action plan said the administration estimates that as many as 7 million immigrants currently living in the country illegally could benefit.

House GOP delays votes on committee chairmen By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – House Republicans are choosing new leaders for several important congressional committees, but the process is taking a little longer than expected. A House leadership panel was scheduled to vote on committee chairmen Monday, but some members experienced weather delays returning to the capital. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said the panel will instead vote on committee chairmen Tuesday.

Former Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is aiming to head the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. The post could give Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, a high-profile platform if he decides to run for president in 2016 or beyond. Ryan faces competition from Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, though the two have waged a friendly campaign. Republicans also are choosing a new chairman for the House Oversight Committee. The head of the panel traditionally acts as a chief antagonist for a president from the opposing party.

Four Republicans are vying for the post: Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Rep. John Mica of Florida, and Rep. Mike Turner, also from Ohio. The current Oversight chairman, Republican Darrell Issa of California, is stepping down because Republicans impose term limits on committee chairmen. Led by Boehner, the House GOP steering committee chooses most committee chairmen. The entire House Republican conference later approves the panel’s choices, though the vote is usually a formality.

LOS ANGELES – The largest solar power plant of its type in the world – once promoted as a turning point in green energy – isn’t producing as much energy as planned. One of the reasons is as basic as it gets: The sun isn’t shining as much as expected. Sprawling across about five square miles of federal desert near the California-Nevada border, the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System opened in February, with operators saying it would produce enough electricity to power a city of 140,000 homes. So far, however, the plant is producing about half of its expected annual output for 2014, according to calculations by the California Energy Commission. It had been projected to produce its full capacity for eight hours a day, on average. “Factors such as clouds, jet contrails and weather have had a greater impact on the plant than the owners anticipated,” the agency said in a statement. It could take until 2018 for the plant backed by $1.6 billion in federal loan guarantees to hit its annual peak target, said NRG Energy Inc., which operates the plant and co-owns it with Google Inc. and BrightSource Energy. “During startup we have experienced ... equipment challenges, typical with any new technology, combined with irregular weather patterns,” NRG spokesman Jeff Holland said in a statement. “We are confident that Ivanpah’s longterm generation projections will meet expectations.” The technology used at Ivanpah is different than the familiar photovoltaic panels commonly used for rooftop solar installations. The plant’s solar-thermal system – sometimes called concentrated-solar thermal – relies on nearly 350,000 computer-controlled mirrors at the site, each the size of a garage door. The mirrors reflect sunlight to boilers atop 459-foot towers – each taller than the Statue of Liberty. The resulting steam drives turbines to create electricity. When the $2.2 billion complex opened, Energy Department Secretary Ernest Moniz called it a “symbol of the exciting progress” in renewable energy. While the agency still says the project remains in good standing, Kaitlin Meese, an analyst at research firm Bentek Energy, said its early production figures “do not paint a strong picture for solar-thermal technology development.” The operation of such plants is highly dependent on weather conditions, and predicting when and how strongly the sun will shine is not a perfect science. A little bit of inefficiency with mirrors can translate into a loss of power output ranging from small to significant, said Dr. Neil Fromer, executive director of the Resnick Sustainability Institute at the California Institute of Technology. Problems could include getting the thousands of mirrors pointed in precisely the right direction, especially in the cool early morning, or keeping them clean in the dusty Mojave Desert. Operators initially expected to need steam from gas-powered boilers for an hour a day during startup. After operations began, they found they needed to keep boilers running more than four times longer – an average of 4½ hours a day. State energy regulators in August approved the plant’s request to increase the natural gas it is allowed to burn by 60 percent. Additional natural gas could also be needed to operate boilers when clouds thicken or to maintain output at the end of the day and extend the capability for power production, the company said.

Fox Point helps you choose fiduciaries wisely SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman Few can afford to lose money, especially senior citizens on a fixed income. Wise financial choices help everyone preserve their assets. Choosing the right fiduciaries keep those assets safe now, and for the designated heirs in the future. A fiduciary, according to financial and eldercare expert Sheri Samotin, “is a person who is trusted to act in the best interest of another person, in a high-stakes situation that almost always involves money.” Examples include accountants, attorneys, bankers, financial advisors, real estate agents, and guardians of minor children. “These people set aside their own personal motives in favor of your goals,” explains Julie Garber, a wills and estate planning expert. “When it comes to estate planning, people select a variety of fiduciaries to act on their behalf, such as the executor of their will,” Garber says. Also, “a medical power-of-attorney

can be a family member, who’s responsible for making medical decisions, in accordance with your advance medical directives.” This is necessary when the person is unable to speak for himself. Samotin adds that “people can name a family member or friend to serve in fiduciary roles, however, professionals are often appointed in advance.” When choosing a fiduciary, you should pick someone who is able, affable, available, above-board, and anchored. Fiduciaries need to be able-minded, plus affable or personable to cooperate with others, available to commit time to do the job, aboveboard or honest, and anchored with stability to “think things through with a level head.” All states require a fiduciary to be over the age of 18 or 21. The exact age depends on the state laws where the fiduciary will be carrying out the duties.

Cary-Grove senior quarterback Jason Gregoire (left) laughs with senior lineman Scott Topole (middle) and junior lineman Owen Henriques on Monday during a dinner at Gregoire’s house.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: SEASON PREVIEW

Huntley team to beat in Valley 5 to watch ALI ANDREWS Huntley, jr., F Andrews, the Northwest Herald Player of the Year and a University of Illinois commit, became the fastest player in Huntley history to surpass 1,000 points. The 6-foot-2 forward averaged 18.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals a game, scoring a school-record 576 points as a sophomore. KATIE BARKER Cary-Grove, sr., G Barker led all area scorers a year ago with 18.7 points a game, adding 6.2 rebounds and 1.7 steals a game. The Ohio University commit also hit a school-record 77 3-pointers. The 5-foot-10 guard has worked hard on improving her inside game over the offseason.

Barker, Cary-Grove aren’t ready to hand Raiders title By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com

fter four straight seasons atop the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division, the Cary-Grove girls basketball team saw its title streak end and a new champion crowned. Huntley led the way with a perfect record in the division last season, sweeping through the FVC Valley at 12-0 and setting the school record for most wins in a season with 27. The Red Raiders’ season

ended prematurely, however, with a loss in the sectional finals. The Trojans, meanwhile, finished six games behind Huntley, losing six games in the FVC Valley after losing a total of five games in the division over the previous six years combined. Now it’s the Raid-

ers, led by 6-foot-2 junior forward Ali Andrews, who are the Valley favorites after claiming their first division title. Andrews, the reigning Northwest Herald Player of the Year and University of Illinois commit, averaged 18.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.5 blocks a game, scoring a school-record 576 points and becoming the fastest player in school history to eclipse 1,000 points. C-G, and other FVC Valley hopefuls, such as Crystal Lake South, Jacobs and Dundee-Crown,

know the path to the division crown goes through Huntley, which also returns three-year varsity starters Kayla Barreto and Jessica Brock. Trojans senior guard Katie Barker, who led all area players with 18.7 points a game and hit a school-record 77 3-pointers, views Huntley as the preseason favorite but thinks many teams are capable of pulling off upsets. The Trojans might be undersized, Barker said,

HALEY AHR Woodstock North, jr., F-C Ahr set the school record for most points by a sophomore, scoring 21 points against Johnsburg and establishing herself as a team leader in only her second season. Ahr almost averaged a double-double, with 11 points and nine rebounds a game. She also took 14 charges on defense. CHANEL FANTER Crystal Lake South, jr., G Fanter was the Gators’ leading scorer as a sophomore and was one of four local players to average 15 or more points last season. She added 113 rebounds, 41 assists and 31 blocks running the point. EMMA BENOIT Hampshire, jr., F Benoit, a Northwest Herald honorable mention selection last season, averaged 12 points and nine rebounds as a sophomore. Whip-Purs coach Mike Featherly calls Benoit a “gym rat.”

VIEWS / BY STEVE GREENBERG

Sorry, but Illini football coach Beckman such an easy target CHAMPAIGN – The good news, if you’re an Illinois football fan and you’re willing to suspend reality for as long as it takes, is that the Illini are going to win at least eight games next season. So said coach Tim Beckman – he of the 10-24 record – on Monday. In fairness to Beckman, this is a guy who tends to base every stated goal on what’s still mathematically possible. And he was answering a

question about how good 2015 will be for the program if he and his staff are allowed to keep their jobs – actually answering it, rather than evading it. Gotta appreciate him for that. Most coaches would’ve said a whole lot of nothing. Before he got to next season, however, he first wanted to address what’s still attainable for his 4-6 squad this season.

“If we take care of business in the next two football games or three football games, that’s a seven-win season,” he said. “You’ve got to win Tim Beckman one at a time, and we haven’t won five yet. But I would want to say if we’ve already won four and we can continue

to get better – which we have each year – if we can take care of business the next three [games], you’re talking about eight wins.” There, did you get all that? In case you didn’t, that’s victories against Penn State and Northwestern to save this season, then a seventh in a bowl game, all leading to a glorious eight-win breakthrough in Year 4 for Beckman. At that rate, we’ll be talking

double-digit W’s by, what, 2017? The bad news, if you’re an Illinois football fan and you can see what’s right under your nose, is that you know full well the Illini are nowhere close to the levels of success Beckman talks – daydreams? fantasizes? – about. And you know many of the things Beckman says come out of a

battle of three teams: Grayslake North, Grayslake Central and the Wolves, who went 10-2 in the FVC Valley last year. North has lost one game in the division since the start of 2012, and, between the two Grayslake schools, the Knights and Rams have combined to win the past four FVC Fox titles. Crystal Lake Central finished three games behind North last year and has planned a difficult nonconference schedule in its hunt to pull off an upset. Hampshire and Woodstock North should have bounceback seasons, too, with strong post play from Emma Benoit and Haley Ahr, respectively.

In the Big Northern Conference East, Richmond-Burton, Johnsburg, Marengo and Harvard are all looking up at Burlington Central. Last year, Burlington swept through the BNC East en route to a fourth-place finish in the Class 3A state tournament and is again the heavy favorite to repeat as division champion. R-B, which finished second in the BNC East, should give Burlington its strongest competition under first-year coach Todd Severns, who has 20 years of coaching experience at the high school level. “We definitely have our work cut out for us, but I believe we are up to the challenge,” Severns said.

Bulls guard Jimmy Butler is hit in the face by Clippers guard Jamal Crawford as he puts up a shot during the first half Monday in Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES – So much for the Derrick Rose-Chris Paul showdown Monday night. It’s tough when only one shows up. Rose (strained left hamstring) missed his second consecutive game and has played in only five of 11. No matter. The Bulls, behind Jimmy Butler’s 22 points and eight assists, defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, 105-89, to improve to 6-0 on the road for the first time since 1996-97. Taj Gibson added 20 points, and Mike Dunleavy scored 19, for the Bulls, who began a seven-game trip away from the circus-occupied United Center. When asked about making sure everything has healed before going back on the court, Rose said, “For sure, especially when you have knee problems or knee injuries. Hamstrings are huge in the process of coming back. They control everything in terms of accelerating. You need them a lot, especially the way that I play.” The good news for the Bulls was that Rose was progressing and participated in the shoot-

around Monday morning. And although the injuries continue to be nuisances, Rose considers them small bumps in a long season. “No, it’s too early to say that [this is a major setback],” Rose said. “Every game, I felt like I had control of myself and the game as far as playing the way I wanted to play. Missing shots is part of it. But I felt whenever I was out there, it wasn’t the rust, where I look terrible. I was just missing shots. If anything, it helped my confidence knowing that [despite] being out two years, [I was] able to come back and play with these great athletes on this level. It gave me confidence every game and every day.” Rose doesn’t really need the affirmation from players, but the fact that Pau Gasol, Joakim Noah, Mike Dunleavy and former teammate Luol Deng have come out in his defense against critics who accuse him of being soft hasn’t gone unnoticed. “Just in awe that people really care about me,” Rose said. “Everything that goes on in my life, the good and the bad, the negative and positive, I just know I have people in my corner that are there for me.”

It started at some point during the Bruce Kay era, but there really is no definitive answer. “When we got in high school, other groups had done it before,” running back-defensive back Sutherland said. “I think it just carried over from each generation.”

Marshall: ‘I’m not into the TMZ thing’ By PATRICK FINLEY pfinley@suntimes.com If Marc Trestman addressed Brandon Marshall’s tweets with the Bears wide receiver, he won’t say. Neither will Marshall, who Monday wouldn’t let a reporter finish asking whether there were his repercussions from his social media challenge to box a Lions fan. “I mean, I’m not into the TMZ thing,” said Marshall, who Friday spun his boxing tweets as part of some sort of anti-bullying strategy. “I’m not a real fan of that type of journalism. So I refuse to go there. If you want to go there, you can do that on your own time. You can do that on your own time.” Trestman said Friday he would ad-

dress the tweet with Marshall, but then Monday simply said it was “an issue between Brandon and I, and I’m going to leave it at that.” Marshall wasn’t a distraction, he said, even as the Bears prepared to try to win their first game in 35 days. “I didn’t have any sense or anything other than Brandon working hard in practice,” Trestman said. “I think that very evidently carried over into the game.” Marshall had seven catches for 90 yards in Sunday’s 21-13 win, including two jaw-dropping touchdown catches. His dominant-as-usual blocking – “Very effective, and very determined,” Trestman said – helped the Bears screen the Vikings to death and run Matt Forte off the edge. The running back had 175 total yards, while Alshon

Jeffery led the Bears with 11 catches for 135 yards. “Yeah, I mean, before the season, we never thought we’d be in this position,” said Marshall, who skipped out of Soldier Field on Sunday without doing interviews. Brandon “So when you look Marshall in the locker room, I think that’s why we’re continuing to scrap and fight, because we believe in the men in this room – coaches and players.” One man who used to be in the room – former Bears boss Lovie Smith – will return to Soldier Field for the first time Sunday as the Buccaneers’ head coach. Marshall, who played one

season under Smith, called it “just another game” although he knows others might make more of it. “I won’t get into that,” he said. “I won’t get into it throughout this week. I won’t get into it with you right now.” He said he was familiar with Smith’s defense from practicing against it for a season, but wouldn’t begin studying the Buccaneers until later Monday. He didn’t act as though Sunday’s victory was a watershed, either, saying he didn’t learn anything new about his teammates. The weeklong lead-up to the game, too, was the same as before. “Football’s football,” Marshall said. “We just execute. Still, it was a little rough, still had a slow start, still wasn’t good enough, but we got the win and we’re going to enjoy it. “I guess we’re done enjoying it.

We got back to work [Monday] and watched film and we were really held each other accountable and focused on how we can continue to get better and build off of it.” The win “feels great, but we still have a huge challenge ahead of us,” Marshall said. The Bears need to play one game at a time, but to be aware of the big picture – in which the next loss might be the one that officially knocks them out of any theoretical playoff conversation. “Just to keep doing what we’re doing,” he said. “That’s all you can do, is just get better. That’s all you can do is go to work. That’s the only way I know how to do it, is, get up every single day and it’s all about routine and regimen. “You have to believe in that and eventually something’s going to give.”

at Halloween,” along with combining them in “cocktails.” But proper documentation for any controlled substances found in possession of the medical staff may not have been the sole reason for the inspections. Agents occasionally leak information about an inspection or raid to set up with what’s known as a “time-date stamp,” and later subpoena any electronic communication between parties that are under investigation, a practice Feldman is familiar with. “We called it ‘tickling the wire’ when I was a prosecutor,” Feldman said, “because at the time, email wasn’t as prevalent and we went after the communications between parties with wiretaps. So it sounds quite plausible in this case.”

DID ANY OF THE TEAMS OBJECT TO THE INSPECTIONS OF THEIR MEDICAL STAFFS? Most barely noticed. “Right after a big game like that, there’s a lot of sleeping going on” Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith said Monday. “So I caught most of it. I don’t know, a few minutes. Fifteen minutes or so. I don’t really know how long.” San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said he didn’t hear from or even see the DEA officials, only learning there was an inspection of his team’s staff when he “read about it.” But he didn’t sound worried either way. “We’re an open book in those regards,” Harbaugh said. “Any kind of scrutiny, any kind of questions, we’re an open book there.” The most interesting response may have come from the Cincinnati Bengals, who were spot-checked in New Orleans. After agent Debbie Weber, a spokeswoman for the DEA’s New Orleans office pronounced the team was in compliance, the team added in a statement: “The Bengals have never had any issues regarding prescriptions/controlled substances.” “Any issues which might be present elsewhere are not present with our organization,” the statement said.

Beckman says the darndest things • GREENBERG Continued from page C1 sort of parallel universe inhabited by only him. There’s a reason he gets made fun of – a lot – for making statements along the lines of, “If we hadn’t given up those five long touchdown runs, we’d have been in the football game.” And the reason is he makes such statements seemingly all the time. On Monday, for example, he said this about the Ohio State game last month: “If we did what we needed to do and consistently moved the chains, did not turn the football over – like we played

against Minnesota – in the red zone, capitalize, we could’ve won.” For the love of God, the Illini lost, 55-14. This is “reality,” if you’re Beckman: “Right now, we’ve got four wins. It’s nothing to brag about, but I do think we’re better than we were [last season] just by numbers, by reality alone. Last year, I couldn’t say we had four wins at this time. I’m telling you we’ve got four wins right now, and I’ve got four wins to prove it.” All-righty, then. How is Illinois better, however? Is it better offensively? Defensively? “After that last game [a 30-14 loss to Iowa],” he said, “I

guess you can’t say either.” Look, these aren’t easy days for Beckman. He’d love nothing more than for his fondest wishes to come true. “For everybody, for this program,” he said. “This program’s not about the media, not about me. It’s not about anybody other than the guys that are out there playing. You can bash, you can do whatever you’ve got to do, but that ain’t helping.” That’s undoubtedly true. Sometimes, though, he makes it so hard. • Steve Greenberg covers college football for the Chicago Sun-Times. Write to him at sgreenberg@suntimes.com.

BEARS NOTES

Stopping run key to victory By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Bears coach Marc Trestman often talks about playing “complementary” football, with all three phases working together. It wasn’t that smooth Sunday, but it was enough to get the Bears their first home win of the season. Mel Tucker’s defense had a plan to limit Teddy Bridgewater, and it worked very well, with the Vikings throwing for 147 yards, the lowest total the Bears have allowed through the air since playing Dallas last season. Complementing that pass defense was the Bears’ ability to stop the run, something that can be considered a marked improvement from 2013. “No. 1, it helped us [defend the pass] to stop the run,” Trestman said Monday at

much different in their preparation or game plan in finally getting their two big receivers going down the field. “We just had some shots and the ball just fell our way, and that’s it,” he said. “Same coverage that we’ve been seeing all year. Same plays that we’ve been running. We just made plays.” Bucs Week begins: Trestman made a point of saying the Bears had quickly moved on to preparing for Lovie Smith, Josh McCown and the Buccaneers. He certainly understands the outside attention the game will get, and was asked about what he would tell a team that has some familiarity with an opposing coach. “I think we’re going to talk to our team truthfully about every aspect of this game and Same old thing, but it worked: making sure that we go in Brandon Marshall empha- with our eyes wide open whatsized that the Bears didn’t do ever that might be.” Halas Hall. “We were able to do a little bit of what we wanted to do, force Bridgewater to throw from the pocket, which we did. We were able to get a good rush, consistent rush, we had a level rush, eliminated his ability to scramble and keep him in the pocket.” The Bears held the Vikings to 2 for 11 on third down. Bridgewater completed 8 of 11 passes on third down, but only two of those completions went for firsts, a credit to the Bears’ open-field tackling. “Just keeping mindful of where the sticks were. Longer yardage certainly helps,” Trestman said of the stops. “They did a good job of getting to the football after reading Bridgewater. He got it out, then we collected to the ball, we got a net around the football, which is good.”

PLAYOFF SCHEDULES – Steve Nitz GIRLS BASKETBALL GLANTZ-CULVER LINE

DeKALB – For Northern Illinois football fans, it’s hard to not look ahead to Western Michigan. At this point, it looks like the matchup between the Huskies and P.J. Fleck’s Broncos the day after Thanksgiving could be for the Mid-American Conference West Division title. With a Toledo loss to Bowling Green on Wednesday and a Western Michigan win at Central Michigan on Saturday, it will be a winner-takes-all contest. However, NIU has to get by Ohio on Tuesday night at Peden Stadium first. “I’m not worried about that second game,” NIU quarterback Drew Hare said last week. “I’m only worried about Ohio right now. We’ve got to beat them first, so I’m only worried about them. We’re happy to control our own destiny (in the MAC West), but at the same time, like everyone’s saying, we’re only worried about Ohio right now.” Ever since Frank Solich, the longest-tenured coach in the MAC, took over at Ohio in 2005, the Bobcats have been a standard for consistency. Ohio has gone to five straight bowl games and is looking for a sixth straight appearance. At 5-5, the Bobcats become bowl-eligible with one more victory and will play the day after Thanksgiving at Miami (Ohio). “I’m sure they have plenty to play for, but so do we,” NIU coach Rod Carey said. “We’re in a situation right now where this game is the most important game that we have and have had. You can’t be afraid to say that, and it’s going to be tough because you have to go on the road. There’s plenty to play for on our end, too.” NIU enters Tuesday’s game as

SOAP OPERA ACTOR CHARGED WITH DUI AFTER OHIO CRASH

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Tuesday, November 18, 2014 • Section C • Page 6

JEFFERSON, Ohio – Soap opera actor Freddie Smith has been charged with felony vehicular assault and misdemeanor driving under the influence after a single-vehicle crash that injured his girlfriend in northeast Ohio. The 26-year-old “Days of Our Lives” actor lost control of his car on a curve in Ashtabula County on Oct. 7 and ended up in a culvert, causing his car to flip over. Authorities say Smith, who was visiting his Ohio hometown, was legally drunk at the time of the accident, with a blood-alcohol level of .093. The legal limit in Ohio is .08. Smith’s attorney declined to comment. Twenty-seven-year-old actress Alyssa Tabit of North Hollywood, California, was trapped in the car and was seriously hurt. She is recovering.

Media mogul, fashion designer to fund New York pier park NEW YORK – A New York City riverfront park and open-air performance space is being planned with funding from media mogul Barry Diller and his wife, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg. Diller, chairman of the New York-based media company IAC/Inter-ActiveCorp, and von Furstenberg, have agreed to provide more than $100 million to build the 2.7acre park on a West 14th Street pier through a family foundation. The $130 million project will be called Pier55 and will replace the crumbling Pier 54. Construction is slated to begin in 2016. It will be designed by the British architect Thomas Heatherwick and New York landscape architect Mathews Nielsen. Diller and the city-state Hudson River Park Trust made the announcement on Monday. The city will provide $17 million for the project while the state will offer $18 million for construction of an adjacent esplanade. The park will be run by the trust and Pier55, Inc., a new nonprofit created by the couple that will also oversee all of the park’s programming. The park will be built on an undulating platform jutting about 180-feet into the river. It will have lawns, pathways and an open-air amphitheater and plaza that could be used for music, dance and theater performances, public art and community events. “The revitalization and transformation of this pier into a vibrant arts and community space will bring new energy and new visitors to our waterfront,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement.

NEW YORK – A blanket denial from Bill Cosby’s lawyer dismissing allegations of sexual abuse by the comedian against several women has been clarified with a subsequent statement. The new statement released Monday says that Cosby’s denials do not refer to accuser Andrea Constand, whose civil lawsuit against him was settled in 2006. Differences between Cosby and Constand were “resolved to the mutual satisfaction” of both parties, according to the new statement, jointly issued by lawyers for Cosby and Constand. Neither party intends to comment further, it adds. The earlier statement, issued during the weekend, referred to “decade-old, discredited allegations” against Cosby, stating that “the fact that they are being repeated does not make them true.” Constand had accused Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 2004.

New late-night host James Corden visiting David Letterman NEW YORK – Before he begins his own late-night show, James Corden is paying a visit to David Letterman. Corden is replacing Craig Ferguson next year on “The Late Late Show,” the CBS late-night program that immediately follows Letterman on the schedule. Ferguson is signing off on Dec. 19, and Corden makes his debut on March 9. Corden’s first appearance on the “Late Show” is scheduled this Friday. The Tony Award-winning actor has some product to promote besides his upcoming program, since

he’s featured in the new film “Into the Woods,” opening on Christmas Day. TV producer Norman Lear and musicians TV on the Radio will also be on Letterman on Friday.

Elaine Stritch given a Broadway tribute NEW YORK – Actors Nathan Lane, Lena Hall and Holland Taylor and writer Liz Smith led a tribute to Elaine Stritch, the funny and irascible theater star who has gone to the big Broadway in the sky. The show, “Everybody, Rise! A Celebration of Elaine Stritch,” was directed by George C. Wolfe and took place Monday afternoon at The Al Hirschfeld Theatre. Stritch died July 17 at age 89. Tony and Emmy Award-winning Stritch found new fans as Alec Baldwin’s mother on TV’s “30 Rock,” but she was best known for her stage work – especially her candid one-woman show “At Liberty” and in the Stephen Sondheim musical “Company.”

New Franzen novel coming in 2015 NEW YORK – Jonathan Franzen has a new novel coming – just five years after his previous one. Publisher Farrar, Straus & Giroux announced Monday that Franzen’s “Purity,” a multigenerational story that spans the globe, will come out in September 2015. Franzen is known for the million sellers and Oprah Winfrey picks “Freedom” and “The Corrections,” both of which took nearly a decade to complete. “The Corrections” won the National Book Award in 2001. His other books include the novels “The Twenty-Seventh City” and “Strong Motion” and the memoir “The Discomfort Zone.”

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Be clear about your choices, and protect your future. Focus on your needs, and head down the appropriate path. Business advancements are on the horizon, so be ready to act quickly when an opportunity appears. Don’t let emotional issues slow you down. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Love is in the stars. This is a great time to make updates to your home or to move entirely. Further your professional prospects by sending out your resume. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You need a change. A low-cost conservative investment or makeover will bring great benefits. The differences may not be readily visible, but your need for something new will be satisfied. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Maintain your point of view if you feel you are right. Take immediate action regarding a legal or financial decision. Dawdling will interfere with your progress. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Keep an eye on your competition. You are heading down the fast track to success, and you don’t want to make the mistake of underestimating someone. Indecision will hold you back. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- An important relationship is in need of attention. Someone feels left out and must be brought back into the loop. Set up a discussion to avoid a misunderstanding. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t be pressured into making a snap decision. Leave yourself enough time to weigh the pros and cons before you make a commitment or sign any agreement. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are in the mood to have some laughs. Gather a diverse group of your friends and see how well they get along. An enjoyable time is in store. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be honest and don’t toy with someone else’s feelings. To avoid leading anyone astray, be open about your plans, ethics and beliefs, or you will end up feeling guilty. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Hone your professional skills. Do whatever it takes to stay in the loop regarding advancements in your field. Your qualifications must be updated regularly if you want to get ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will never feel fulfilled if you keep trying to please everyone. Do what you love and don’t let what others do or say stand in your way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Face the people and events that are causing you stress. You will add to your problems if you put on a happy face and pretend everything is all right. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Keep a positive attitude and let your imagination run free. Don’t let a negative remark halt your progress. The success of your project will be enough proof that you are right.

Widow with younger lover is New cancer treatments lessen concerned about their future side effects of chemotherapy Dear Abby: I am a widow who has fallen in love with a wonderful man who is almost 30 years my junior. He proclaims his love for me every day, and I know it’s real. I have been warned by others to be aware of “devious males on the make for comfortably situated widows.” After discussing it with the man, I have determined this is not his motive. Right now, we’re good friends who love each other’s company. If marriage is in the future for us, I’m afraid of the age factor. He is not. Could you comment and give me some guidance? – Cautious In Kansas Dear Cautious: Everyone knows there are devious males – and females – out there, but not all men are predators. If your friend is financially independent, then it’s unlikely he’s looking for a sugar mama. While it is unusual, I know several couples in which the wife is considerably older than the husband, and they seem very happy together. If and when you plan to marry, it makes sense to discuss this with your attorney and have a prenuptial agreement created. If your friend has no ulterior motives, he will understand it’s for the protection of both of you and sign it. You have

stickers on their vehicles that read “My child is an honor student.” If this woman’s posts upset you because of the challenges your son is dealing with, customize your social media feed to omit posts from her. That way you won’t have to cut yourself off from social media entirely. Dear Abby: Have you ever – out of the blue – thought of someone you hadn’t seen, heard from or thought of in a long time, and later discovered they died around that time? This has happened to me more times than I can count. No one I have spoken with – friends or family – has experienced this. Have you ever heard of this phenomenon, and is there a name for it? – Miss J.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips only one life to live – so live it without worrying about what others might think. Dear Abby: I just opened my social media account and saw a friend had posted her daughter’s report card – all A’s. She then went on to say how proud she was of her because she also is co-captain of her school’s volleyball team and mentoring other students, etc. You get the picture. My son is suffering from depression and social anxiety, and we are fighting to keep him from failing all his classes. He’s going to therapy and is on medication. Abby, isn’t it in poor taste to publicly show your child’s report card? My son used to get straight A’s before his depression, and I never would have posted his grades. Now I am becoming resentful of friends whose kids are doing well. What advice can you give me besides not opening up my social media account again? – Bad

Dear Dr. K: My mother was diagnosed with cancer and soon will begin chemotherapy. I’d like to understand how chemotherapy is given, and how it fights cancer. Dear Reader: Chemotherapy uses drugs that kill cancerous cells, but only injure healthy cells. To understand chemotherapy, you need to understand what cancer is and what is different about cancer cells. Our body contains 13 trillion cells. They all started from one cell, a cell that kept dividing. One cell became two, two became four and so on. But the cells kept dividing in a carefully controlled manner. Early in our lives (even before we were born), they had to keep dividing so we would grow larger. After we are fully formed adults, some cells need to divide to replace dying old cells with younger ones. In contrast, cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Chemotherapy (anti-cancer) drugs kill cancer cells or prevent them from growing and dividing. The drugs reach almost all parts of the body. This helps to kill cancer cells that have spread from the original site of the cancer. Chemotherapy is the core treatment for some cancers. For other cancers, it is part of a larger strategy along with radiation and/or surgery.

In Oklahoma Dear Miss J.: I have never had that experience, but I have heard of the phenomenon. It’s called either ESP or coincidence, depending upon which psychic plane you dwell. However, I have had friends “pop into my head” and thought I should give them a call, only to hear from them a few days later.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff Chemotherapy often requires a combination of two or more different anti-cancer drugs. Cancer specialists (oncologists) design chemotherapy plans based on the cancer being treated and how far the cancer has spread. Cancer chemotherapy may be designed to: • cure the cancer; • prevent the cancer from recurring after surgery; • prevent the cancer from spreading to other organs; • decrease the size of a tumor to make surgery easier; • shrink the size of incurable cancer to help relieve symptoms. Chemotherapy drugs can be given in a hospital, clinic, doctor’s office or at home. For most people, a bag filled with the liquid drug is attached to a tube that is inserted into a vein. The drug slowly drips into the patient’s body. Sometimes the patient is able to swallow a pill instead, or get chemotherapy through an injection. People can receive chemotherapy daily, weekly or monthly. Unfortunately, in addition to attacking cancer cells, chemotherapy drugs also injure

normal, healthy cells. This can cause many side effects. Many anti-cancer drugs, for example, affect the production of blood cells. This includes red blood cells that carry oxygen and platelets that help blood clot. Chemotherapy also inhibits the production of white blood cells that fight infection. That’s why a common side effect of chemotherapy is increased susceptibility to serious infections. Other common side effects include fatigue, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, hair loss and rashes. On my website, www.askdoctork. com, I’ve put an illustration showing where in the body chemotherapy side effects most often occur. Your mother’s doctor can help manage many of these side effects. In recent years, medical scientists have developed new treatments. Some target the chemical changes in cancerous cells that cause them to grow uncontrollably. Others harness the body’s immune system to attack cancerous cells. For certain types of cancers, these new approaches appear more effective, and less toxic, than chemotherapy. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Simple surgery could spare youth from enduring verbal abuse Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and have been teased all of my life because my ears stick out drastically. I’ve tried to cover them with different hairstyles, but nothing works. I’ve been told by a friend’s mother that a simple operation could help me, but my parents don’t want me to have an operation. If they won’t help me now, I’ll probably suffer for three more years, but as soon as I turn 18, I will have my ears altered. Please tell my parents they should allow me to have my ears fixed now. They just might listen to you. – Hannah, Chicago

young, I was taunted by my peers because I had an unusually long nose. I told my parents, and they told me to just smile because if I showed that the taunting bothered me, it would just get worse. Smiling didn’t work. By middle school, the verbal abuse became worse. The remarks were frequent and very cruel. Even the girls called me names. One girl asked me if my mother was an elephant. She then said, “Well, if your mother wasn’t an elephant, your father must have been related to Pinocchio. That’s the only way you could have received

‘TWEEN 12 & 20 Dr. Robert Wallace Hannah’s Parents: I strongly encourage you to talk with a surgeon who performs corrective surgery. It’s important to know all you can about the surgery and the positive effect it will have on Hannah. Please read the following letter a reader sent a few years ago. It should help you in your decision to allow Hannah to improve her appearance and self-esteem: Dr. Wallace: When I was

such a large snout.” I was crushed, but I couldn’t do anything about it. I had a large nose, and there was no way I could hide it. It was there for all to see and some to ridicule. Ironically, I did enjoy school. I graduated with honors, and because of my singing ability, was voted the most talented senior in my graduation class. By the 12th grade, the cruel remarks were absent, but they were replaced with cute and clever phrases about the extraordinary length of my nose. After graduation, I wanted my nose shortened

and went to a doctor to find out about the procedure and the cost. I was surprised that the cost was less than I had anticipated. My grandmother said she would lend me the money, so I took her up on her generosity and got a “nose job” (rhinoplasty). After the recuperation period, I had turned from an ugly, dateless duckling into a very attractive swan. I am now 32, married to a wonderful, handsome husband and have two beautiful daughters. My self-esteem is sky high. Fortunately, my daughters do not have large noses. But if they had been born

with noses that were abnormally long, they would have undergone rhinoplasty at the earliest possible age. My only true regret in life is that I didn’t have the surgery before I entered high school. I suffered needlessly because my parents couldn’t, or maybe wouldn’t, feel the emotional pain I was feeling. I did repay my grandmother for the money she lent me. That money was the best money spent for me in my entire life, and will be the best-spent until I breathe my last breath. – Mom, Milwaukee • Write to Dr. Wallace at rwallace@galesburg.net.
