Officers immediately contacted Lake Villa and the Lake County Sheriff’s departments to set up a perimeter in the area. Officers spotted the VW in the area and, after conducting a traffic stop, took the driver, Victor T. Maldonado, 19, from McHenry, into custody. Joshua W. Batson, 19, of Wauconda, and a juvenile male from Wauconda, who matched the description given by the neighbor, were subsequently taken into custody on Tiffany Road. All three males were brought to the Antioch Police Department and allegedly admitted to breaking into the residence. The residence is owned by Batson’s grand-

JUDE KAIDER Hi-Liter

An alert neighbor helped local police solve a residential burglary in Antioch Feb. 8. Two men and a teen boy face several criminal charges as a result of the investigation. “This is another example of our community looking out for each other and contacting us when something like this occurs,” said Antioch Police Chief John Laskowski. “The quick response and a commitment to the Neighborhood Watch program has assisted APD in keeping the community safe.” According to Antioch police, on Feb. 8 at approximately 1:35 p.m., officers responded to the 600 block of Aspen Way for a residential burglary in progress. A neighbor reported seeing two men exit a gray VW, walk up to the residence, break a window at the rear of

The time is now to help

Elderly woman struggles with pain, expenses

Dear W.C., I am an 80-year-old widow who needs help. I have been renting the same house for the past 10 years, ever since my husband died. I am having a hard time paying my rent this month due to a car repair and I had to go see the dentist. My car repair was much more expensive than I had thought it would be and it took all my rent money I had set aside. I do not work and I live on Social Security. It is not much but I have always been able to get by. Now I am in terrible pain all the time due to several bad teeth in my mouth. The dentist told me to go see an oral surgeon, but I cannot afford that. I don’t know what to do about this as I can barely eat or even think straight with this pain. If you were only able to help me with one thing, at this point I would choose getting my teeth fixed even if it meant I would become homeless. I can’t continue living like this. Please, please can you help me? I have never asked for help before in my life. This is very humbling for me. Dear readers, I went to the address

lives out of state.” I asked more details about her troubled son and saw the By pain she suffered from that SAL as well. The senior woman DIMICELI tearfully shared with me Columnist the details of her husband’s painful death from cancer 10 years previous, and then listed to make an unplanned three years ago she lost her son to cancer as well. The visit. It was a small older house. My knock at the door broken hearted woman’s voice broke as she said, was answered by a senior “Only the good die young woman. She recognized because both those men me and, after I showed my were so good to everyone identification, she invited they knew, including me. me inside. Even before I The only family I have left, had introduced myself I recognized she was in pain. my son living in Texas, She visibly winced and was never even calls. He is so holding the side of her face. wrapped up in his own life, he does not care if I am I asked the woman how even alive.” bad her dental pain was on I could see this weighed a scale from one to 10 and heavily on her heart. I let her answer was nine. I was her talk about her sons and filled with sympathy over she told me how different the pain she was suffering they had always been “right in. Dental pain is usually very intense and unbearable. from the start,” as she put it. One son had always been I could see that was what compassionate and loving, she was enduring. After a brief conversation did what was right, and was always there to help. The I began to ask important woman said, “He was just questions about her family like his father. They were and finances. She sadly always close. He took it so shared with me, “My hard when his father died. husband died 10 years ago He just never seemed to get and one of my sons died over it.” Then she told me three years ago. I have one about her other son that she other son, but I never see never saw. “He was always him and he never calls. He

impatient and jealous over his brother. I always loved them the same, but it is funny how different they turned out.” She shook her head sadly as she looked down at her clasped hands. I reached over and grasped her hands and she looked up in surprise. She smiled and said, “Do you know how long it has been since someone has talked to me or held my hand? Do you know what it is like to live in pain and fear and not have any friends or family to turn to?” I looked her in the eyes and said, “Yes I do. I see it often. That is why I am here. To find a way to help you and if I can’t give you the help myself I will find someone that can.” She was crying again saying, “God bless you, thank you, thank you.” I told her to not thank me but to thank all of you who would make her assistance even possible. We went on to going over her financial problems. She showed me the dentist bill and car repair bills that had thrown off her whole budget. I looked them over and they were not extravagant. The repairs on the car were within reason and necessary to safely operate her vehicle.

The dentist bill was for x-rays and an exam. The dentist had given her an oral surgeon to call and he also happened to be one of the oral surgeons we have used for The Time Is Now to Help clients in the past. I knew he would do a good job and give us the best price possible for the extractions needed to relieve her pain. I told her she needed to have this done as soon as possible. I pulled up his number from my contacts and called to approve her surgery. I handed the phone to her so she could make an appointment. She looked surprised but took the phone from me as I told her to make an appointment. After she made her appointment, I made a call to a volunteer to set up a driver for her day of surgery. The senior woman was even more surprised when she heard me making these arrangements. She said, “I am speechless. I have had no one even care about me for years and now you even make sure I have someone take me for my surgery. I don’t know how to thank you for this.” I said, “The only thanks we need are prayers for The Time Is Now to Help and

all the people we help.” The woman’s reply was, “You don’t have to ask me for that. I am already thanking God for you.” After a thorough review of her finances, I could see she was just getting by before these two emergency expenses. I set up an appointment to have the remainder of the work needed on her car completed. We paid her overdue rent to help relieve some of the financial strain. When I finally got up to leave the senior woman wrapped her arms around me and gave me a long hug. She kissed my cheek and said, “You are an angel W.C.” Several weeks later the senior woman’s whole life was improved. She is now pain free and her mouth improves daily. The volunteer continues to check on her regularly and is happy to report the woman is very independent. After spending time together and some food deliveries, especially soft foods and soup as she was recuperating from her surgery, they have formed a wonderful friendship. The senior woman that was once all alone now has a friend. She also has started going to church with the volunteer. The once lonely, sad and pain-filled woman is a completely different person. Her life has been renewed thanks to all of you making our mission possible. At my follow-up visit, the senior widow wanted me to share with all of you her heartfelt thanks for all we do together. I had previously explained to her how I do not do this alone, it is all of us together. She asked me to tell all of you, “Please tell everyone that is involved with The Time Is Now to Help that they are in my prayers. I am so thankful for all you have done to rekindle my life. Every day has once again become such a blessing. I have no more pain. I am not living in financial fear and I know I am not alone.” With that I gave her a hug and told her, “You will never be alone again.” As she hugged me in return, both our eyes were filled with happy tears. Thank you to Richard H. Driehaus for providing The Time Is Now to Help with a $30,000 matching grant so we may continue providing desperately needed help to those turning to us for assistance. Thank you to all of you for matching these grants and making our mission of relieving the pains of poverty even possible. Please donate at this time knowing your donation will be matched dollar for dollar by Richard Driehaus and 100 percent will be used to provide assistance to the poverty stricken. Thank you and God bless you. Health and happiness, God bless everyone, W.C./Sal Please help: There are many coming to us in desperation. Our good fellow creations need our compassion. Together we

Slices of Life I’ve never used a pen name or adopted an alias. My family’s not in the witness protection program, which I’m assuming would necessitate a name change. But this week we are the Nielsens. It’s a moniker steeped in power, prestige and a TV viewing diary. The Nielsen in our house is the Nielsen Company, which establishes ratings and rankings for TV shows by gathering information from regular people like us. Families are randomly selected and asked to participate by keeping a TV viewing diary for seven days. People in large cities often have electronic monitoring devices attached to their TVs. Small town folks still complete diaries the old-fashioned way with pen, paper and the occasional writer’s cramp. Nielsen has been tracking and compiling viewership data since the 1950s. Starting last Thursday, my family became members of Team Nielsen. Just think – what we watch today will be statistics tomorrow! This creates a stress and pressure. Oh, sure, I love the idea of being a statistic. The question is: which one? Some shows are trendy and cool. Others educational. Or sophisticated. Or raunchy. There’s reality TV. Reruns.

JILL PERTLER Contributor

Crime shows. Comedies. Cartoons. Talk shows. News. Sports. Prime time. Late night. Early morning. What I watch – or my diary says I watch – paints a picture of me. A Nielsen family has to admit their viewing habits to the world, and we can’t be tuned in to the History and NASA channels all the time. Although my husband would like to give it a try. We must, in the name of Nielsen, admit to our real, true, not always educational and sometimes junky viewing pleasures – even if we are a happily married woman tuning in to The Bachelor. We also must face the reality of quantity over quality as the diary fills and we come to the realization that we regrettably do watch more TV than we thought. Furthermore, a person who keeps the TV on all day while she is home, even though she isn’t watching, is required to document this in the diary. Fessing up to not watching the infomercials as they play on the TV in the kitchen may

We are the Nielsens not be something to take pride in, but it does require honesty. All this transparency helps the Nielsen Company do its job. According to their website, they track not only TV habits, but monitor books, music, video games, movies, social media, smart phone operating systems and website merchandisers. If you’re tuning in, chances are Nielsen is attuned to it. It feels a little like Big

Brother, which is another reality show some very nice, smart people at my house may or may not watch. Keeping the diary makes one more cognizant of one’s viewing choices. Before this week, TV was TV. Spending a mindless hour with Ellen, Dr. Phil, the Property Brothers, Judge Judy, the Kardashians or Pat and Vanna might have been a guilty pleasure, but no one had to know about it. Now

I have to take pen to paper and make my wheel watcher status official. The choices are weighted with value. What kind of person spends four hours watching home improvement shows on a Saturday? Certainly not me! I’m nearing the completion of the diary and wonder: at the end of it all will my viewing habits make me look like the biggest loser or an American idol? Is there

any chance I’ll walk out a survivor or am I simply walking dead? One thing’s for sure. By this time next week I’ll be back to being plain old me. But for now, I am a Nielsen.

Outback provides solid ride for the price By Barbara & Bill Schaffer AUTO DIGEST

The middle of Oregon was the perfect spot for the introduction of the 2015 Subaru Outback because it was just like going to a family reunion – everywhere you looked there were more Subaru Outbacks of all ages. We don’t know the actual numbers but after spending a few hours in the Bend, Oregon area one day, we would guess that the Outback has to be the most popular car in the area. It’s easy to see why so many people in Central Oregon are Outback drivers. This is a major outdoor recreation area with world class skiing, white water rafting, fishing, golfing, rock climbing and a multitude of other activities. The Subaru Outback is a perfect vehicle for these active people because of its utilitarian features and all-weather/terrain abilities, plus it’s a great everyday driver so owners can always be prepared to partake of the outdoors. The 2015 Subaru Outback, takes all the best parts of the first four generations and 20 years of experience and molds them into this latest iteration and then adds some great new features. Starting with a revised and significantly stiffer (51 per-

cent) chassis, Subaru engineers have added a smoother, more efficient transmission, Active Torque Vectoring for greater agility and enhanced all-wheel drive with new X-Mode technology to expand its off-road prowess. They packaged it in a stylish new body, with more interior space and luxury appointments. Then for the crowning touch they equipped the Outback with a couple of state-ofthe-art safety technology packages. We experienced the 2015 Subaru Outback in real world conditions, driving the on- and off-road in the Cascade Mountains near Bend and Sisters, Ore. The first thing we both commented on was how quiet this new car is. The new acoustical windshield, thicker acoustic panels, foam insulation and liquid-filled engine mounts created an extremely quiet interior space at all speeds. The quiet was accompanied by a very accommodating car-like ride and handling with none of the roughness often experienced in many SUV/crossover style vehicles. Most 2015 Subaru Outback buyers will opt for the base 175-horsepower four-cylinder Boxer engine with its horizontally-opposed cylinders. The double overhead cam engine,

which is about 80 percent new, propels the Outback from 0 to 60 mph in 10.3 seconds according to Subaru tests. Fuel economy is rated at 25 mpg city, 33 mpg highway and 28 mpg combined. The numbers are impressive when you consider that all models are all-wheel drive. The only available transmission is Subaru’s efficient Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The transmission is designed to electronically simulate six shift points and can be shifted manually with the console mounted shifter or using the steering wheel mounted shift paddles. While we found this to be a very nice drivable combination, it cried out for a turbocharger – which would have been especially helpful at the higher elevations. We both preferred the Outback 3.6R model, which has a 256-hp six-cylinder Boxer engine that produces a significant increase in performance. Zero to 60 mph takes only 7.3 seconds, making this a much better road car. Fuel economy is estimated at 20/27/22 mpg. The 3.6R also has a high-torque version of the Lineartronic CVT, derived from the Subaru WRX performance model. It electronically shifts with even more

SUBMITTED PHOTO Hi-Liter

noticeable shift points, making it feel more like a six-speed automatic. It also has steering wheel-mounted shift paddles and gated manual shift linkage on the center console. The CVT was especially impressive in off-road and on rough dirt roads where the unlimited ratios helped keep the power delivery smooth and at peak performance and efficiency. We also liked the precise, positive feel of the new electric assist steering system. All Outbacks are equipped with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with its new Active

Torque Split. The system measures acceleration, steering angle and yaw rates and based on the driving conditions and wheel slippage, adjusts clutch controls to distribute torque to the wheels with the best traction. The 2015 Subaru Outback is available in two models, the 2.5i and 3.6R. The 2.5i has three trim levels including the 2.5i, 2.5i Premium and 2.5i Limited with prices, after the destination charge, of $25,745, $27,845 and $30,845 respectively. The 3.6R is only available in the

Limited trim and is priced at $33,845. Option packages include various combinations of Moonroof, Power Rear Gate, Navigation System, EyeSight, Blind Spot Detection & Rear Cross Traffic Alert and add from $1,695 to $3,390 (for all the features). Subaru has been something of a MVP in auto industry statistics the last few years showing unprecedented annual sales gains while much of the industry struggled to survive. Subaru has succeeded because they’ve been doing most everything right.

Antioch School District seeks input on 5-year plan Antioch School District 34 invites local residents to attend a community engagement meeting to provide input into the district’s fiveyear strategic planning process. Two different interactive sessions will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 25, at the District’s Administrative Services Center, 964 Spafford Street, Antioch. Participants can select either 4 p.m. or 7 p.m. sessions. Sessions are expected to last 60 to 90 minutes and will conclude once all input has

called “Invasion.” “It’s classic Ray Bradbury,” said Hunter. The group also has two original tales to share. “Freedom Stream” is based on local author Jim Janus’s short story that won the Waukegan Public Library’s 30th Annual Ray Bradbury Creative Contest. Set in the future during America’s second Great Recession, teenager Diego becomes so dependent on the government-supplied, easier-to-access Internet, that when his connection is disrupted he ventures out, despite a round-the-clock curfew, to reconnect. Finally, “Dragnet,” shaped an entire generation’s view of law enforcement, and brought police work to life in carefully documented detail. Never sensationalistic, but always a gripping listening experience, Jack Webb’s creation remains the standard against which crime dramas are judged. In “The Big Bike Path,” written by RG Productions’ own John McLaughlin, the body of a wealthy philanthropist is found on the Lake Shore Bike trail. Circumstances suggest foul play. PM&L Theatre is at 877 N. Main St., Antioch. Free public parking is available behind the theatre and commercial buildings on both sides of the street. During the run of the current show “Meet Me in St. Louis,” playing weekends through Feb. 21, people purchase tickets by calling the box office during scheduled hours at (847) 395-3055.

PM&L Theatre in Antioch and RG Productions team up again to re-create an afternoon of Old Time Radio live on stage March 1. The group will present “Suspense,” widely thought to be the “Hitchcock of the airwaves,” during its golden age in the 1940s. The matinee show, performed live with music and sound effects, is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Last year’s Old Time Radio show was a sell-out. Tickets are $10 each, and are available at the door or online at www. pmltheatre.com. A convenience fee per ticket applies to online purchases. “We’re thrilled to bring another program of classic radio shows to PM&L,” said director Nita Hunter, “and, like last year, we’re bringing a mix of old and new, written by local authors, to the stage. “Sorry, Wrong Number,” one of the shows we are performing from “Suspense,” was widely perceived to be the most effective radio show ever, went on to transcend “Suspense,” and become an urban legend.” The other classic to be performed, Ray Bradbury’s “Zero Hour,” is about a peculiar game played by children, and showcases the talents of some of the younger actors in the troupe. In the story, it’s a typical day in the New York home of the Morris family until their daughter, Mink, and all of the other young children of the town start playing a mysterious game

Area woman selected for Master Teacher Project By Anne Trautner STAFF WRITER

When fourth-grade teachers across the country want to come up with a good way to teach how to build factor pairs, many times they go to BetterLesson.com to find an interactive lesson plan. Many of the math lessons there are developed by Mary Ellen Kanthack, who has been teaching at Brookwood Middle School in Genoa City, Wis., for 15 years. The site features lesson materials, as well as videos that that show Kanthack teaching her students so that other teachers can mimic the teaching method. “It’s just a lot of fun,” Kanthack said. Kanthack, a nationally board certified teacher, has produced 140 lessons for the site. Some of Kanthack’s materials are downloaded 60 times a week. The National Education Association selected Kanthack in December 2013 to develop math lessons for the site as part of the Master Teacher Project. Kanthack was one of 95 teachers selected from more than 1,200 applicants from across the country to participate in the project. “It’s all pretty exciting stuff. It has been the highlight of my career,” Kanthack said. “I’ve been really honored to be a part of such an amazing group of people.” Kanthack’s lessons all include hands-on activities with technology integration. Because her students all

work one-on-one with iPads, computers are utilized in the lessons. Kanthack has worked on a team of four teachers to develop engaging lessons. Two of the teachers are from Montana and the other one hails from Tennessee. Kanthack’s coach is a math curriculum director in Boston. The team meets virtually, online, on a regular basis. By November, 400,000 teachers had hit the site, which means that one in 10 teachers across the United States is using the website to help with their instruction, Kanthack said. The free site was developed as part of the Master Teacher Project to develop curriculum that would align with the Common Core standards, Kanthack said. “Common Core is wonderful, despite the bad press I’ve seen. I think it’s the best thing for mathematics that has rolled out,” Kanthack said. “My school district has used it now for three years, and in these three years, now the fourth year, I have seen tremendous growth in understanding, a better sense of how mathematics works.” In June, Kanthack was asked to stay on for another year to develop materials for the Next Generation Science Standards, which are slated to roll out across the nation in 2016, Kanthack said. “They align with Common Core. You can teach and integrate math and science and social studies and language arts and line that all up so you are making their instruction

very rich because of the integration of those materials,” Kanthack said. For example, Kanthack’s students began learning about erosion in Nepal by reading a book in literature class. Then the students wrote about Nepal. Then, the students learned about erosion in math, science and social studies classes. The students watched a video that pinpointed places of erosion and showed how erosion and weathering changes landscape over time. Then, Kanthack brought the lesson back to Wisconsin so that students could take a look at erosion and how it has affected the local area. “It is beautifully intermeshed and can be integrated very beautifully. So you have integration of math, language arts, social studies and science. It’s all together while you are meeting these standards. It helps teachers be able to kill a lot of birds with one stone,” Kanthack said. The Next Generation Science Standards is filled with connections to practical things, Kanthack said. “What excites me about it is that the kids look at that and then can look at the world, and go, ‘Yeah, I see where this fits.’ There are a lot of inquiry-based lessons, so you approach it with a wonder, or a question, saying, ‘What makes that light light up in that ball that I just got from Walmart when I bounce it and the lights are flashing inside it?’ And then you connect that to a circuit-

ry lesson,” she said. Kanthack is on a team of four science teachers from across the country who are working to develop curriculum that allows students to investigate through experimentation. “The interesting part is that it’s not instruction as much as it’s guidance, and it’s being very careful to ask the right questions to get them to think more deeply and to write better and to observe and to be able to use precise language,” Kanthack said. “So it supports all those very fundamental language arts, mathematical and critical thinking skills that kids today are really, really going to need to be able to be working in the world in the near future.” Kanthack, who entered the teaching profession later in life, graduated from Parkside in 1999. She earned her master’s degree from Aurora University and her national board certification in 2011. “Internetworking of teachers across the United States and seeing all these people that are so committed to education...it’s just a wonderful thing,” Kanthack said. “It really opened my eyes to how very rich and diverse our public education system is and what wonderful opportunities lie within, and also what deficits there are and the struggles that teachers are having with trying to meet those standards and meet those needs. So it has been a very eye-opening experience as well as a very enriching one.”

Wisconsin 4-H Foundation offers scholarships

The Wisconsin 4-H Foundation plans to award more than $10,000 in scholarships to Wisconsin students pursuing undergraduate degrees in 2015. To be considered for financial support, applications must be received by the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation by March 15. Wisconsin 4-H Foundation scholarships are awarded to students based on demonstrated personal growth, development and leadership, academic performance, financial need and future educational goals. Changes have been made to the application process to make it easier and more efficient for students to apply. To apply, interested 4-H youth need to submit an application consisting of a resume, cover letter, list of 4-H projects in which participated and recent photo, preferably at a 4-H event or working on a 4-H project. Applications should be limited to three pages and, along with the photo, submitted to and received by the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation. To be eligible for these scholarships, students must: have been a 4-H member for at least one year; have a grade point average of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale; be enrolled or planning to enroll in a university, college or technical school during the 2015-2016 academic school year. “The generous support of our donors allows us to recognize and provide financial assistance to numerous students throughout the state,” says Jim Reid, president of the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation. “Awarding these scholarships is one way the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation continues its mission to invest in positive development of 4-H youth by helping them obtain their long-term goals of higher education.” Two teams of youth development professionals will review the applications and select finalists. The Wisconsin 4-H Foundation then will assign available scholarships to the top-ranking applications based on individual scholarship criteria. Applicants awarded scholarships will be notified by mail in May. For additional information on the 2015 Wisconsin 4-H Foundation scholarships, visit www.Wis4HFoundation. org or contact the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation at (608) 262-1597 or info@Wis4HFoundation.org.

Community colleges seek to offer fouryear degrees Illinois community college presidents approved a recommendation that the community college system be allowed to grant four-year baccalaureate degrees for nursing and other applied career areas at their meeting on Friday, Jan. 30. “This recommendation, which took nearly one year to study and prepare, shows our community colleges can be the place where students can earn the degrees close to home which is important to their families and communities,” said Thomas Choice, the president of the Illinois Council of Community College Presidents. Illinois would join 21 others states already offering these four-year degrees. Illinois officials have discussed the concept and experiences for families in other states for several years. “Our study indicates many employers across the state need a workforce with a higher level of education. Community colleges are uniquely positioned with their strong

A West Allis man who is believed to have killed two women, put their bodies in suitcases and dumped them in a ditch in the Town of Geneva is due back in court in Walworth County in May. Steven M. Zelich, 53, a former West Allis police officer, is suspected of killing Laura J. Simonson, 37, in Minnesota Steven M. in 2013 and Zelich Jenny Gamez, 19, in Kenosha in late 2012 or early 2013. Zelich was arrested after the bodies of the women were discovered in suitcases June 5 off North Como Road. He was first charged in Walworth County with two counts of hiding a corpse while investigations continued in the jurisdictions where the women are believed to have been killed. Zelich was charged in Kenosha County in August with first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse in connection with Gamez’s death. A final pre-trial conference is scheduled in that case for April 24 with jury selection set to begin for a trial there May 4. Zelich is being held in Kenosha County. Zelich has not yet been charged in Rochester, Minn., where Simonson is believed to have been killed. Police in Farmington, Minn., where Simonson lived when she was reported missing in November 2013 initially investigated the case, and Zelich

was the top suspect throughout the investigation. Police believe Simonson died during an encounter with Zelich at a hotel in Rochester, an hour away from Farmington, on Nov. 2, 2013. Lt. Casey Moilanen, of the Rochester, Minn., Police Department said last week the investigation is still open in Rochester. He said his department is waiting for information from the medical examiner in Walworth County where Simonson’s body was found and is still processing and testing other evidence, which he declined to give specifics about. Moilanen said Zelich will not be extradited to Minnesota until the cases against

The Council will work with the Illinois Community College Trustees Association, the Illinois Community College Board, the Illinois Board of Higher Education and the legislature to ensure the necessary steps to move forward. Choice, who is president of Kishwaukee College in Malta Illinois, noted the report recommends the addition of these programs be managed without any additional state funding. It is anticipated that the variable tuition program already used by many community colleges for career and technical degrees would be used for these four-year degrees. The applied baccalaureate degrees would cover fields like automotive, respiratory therapy and dental hygiene, among others.

Rebecca McAuliffe reacts to the music of William Smith Jr. and The Renewed Voices for Christ at her Oct. 4 wedding at Immanuel Lutheran Church.

sounds of gospel Wed to the

Chicago group to celebrate 25 years with performance at Immanuel Lutheran By Vicky Wedig STAFF WRITER

hen Mark McAuliffe’s girlfriend threw him a 50th birthday party at their church with his grade-school friends on the guest list, he knew he wanted her to be his wife. “That day, I decided I was going to get married,”

McAuliffe said of the April 10 celebration his girlfriend of six years, Rebecca, organized at the new Immanuel Lutheran Church in Lake Geneva. About a week after his birthday, Rebecca’s daughter, Kimberly Duckworth, asked the couple if they wanted to go to a gospel revival at the House of Blues in Chicago. They jumped at the chance, and McAuliffe decided he was going to propose that weekend. He bought a ring, and kept it in the backpack he carried around while the couple toured Chicago the day before the Sunday concert. McAuliffe said he was nervous about finding the opportune moment to pop the question, and his fiancé-to-be became suspicious. “She knew I was acting weird,” he said. “She was trying to get in my backpack.” The couple had a moment sitting on a park bench on Rush Street when McAuliffe gazed at Rebecca with a certain look in his eyes, and she thought the time had arrived. “He had been acting weird for days, and I was looking at him going, ‘What’s up with you?’” Rebecca said. When that moment passed without “the question,” Rebecca said, she thought it wasn’t going to happen. “At that point, I had resigned myself to the fact that he wasn’t ready,” she said.

So, the next day, when the couple was running late for the performance of William Smith Jr. and The Renewed Voices For Christ, Rebecca was no longer suspicious. McAuliffe said the couple entered Chicago’s famed House of Blues, and the place was packed. Amid the bustle, he handed the tickets to the guy at the counter and wondered how he would pull it off. “I was nervous,” he said. Rebecca went to get some food, and he wondered if he should ask the sound guy about helping him set up a proposal while she was gone. Rebecca came back, and spilled her coffee, and before he knew it, the curtain was coming up. “I said, ‘I blew it,’” McAuliffe said. “’I don’t know how I’m going to do it now.’” William Smith Jr. and The Renewed Voices For Christ sang but then began calling out names of people having birthdays and inviting them to the stage. The announcer called a woman’s name first and then asked for “Eric” to come forward. “I said, ‘There’s my in,’” McAuliffe said. He rushed to the stage, beating “Eric” there and leaving Rebecca asking, “Where is he going?” Rebecca said she didn’t think much of McAuliffe’s

(Continued from page 10) rush to the stage since he’d just had a birthday, but, at that point, the announcer was calling people by name. “Mark made a beeline up there when they were calling specific people,” she said. When McAuliffe got to the stage, he encountered the group’s host Cedric Nunley, who asked, “Are you Eric?” When McAuliffe pulled Nunley aside and said he wasn’t Eric but wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Nunley got wide-eyed and said, “Ooooh.” He told McAuliffe to stand to the side of the stage next to a speaker, but then McAuliffe realized he forgot the ring and ran back to his seat to retrieve it. When he knelt down to get the ring out of his backpack, Duckworth, who suspected the pending proposal, made eye contact with McAuliffe and began to cry. Rebecca said she’d seen McAuliffe talking to Nunley on stage, then standing to the side, and, when he returned to the table, she thought he was done with whatever he was doing on stage. The backpacks were behind her, so she didn’t see him rifling around in his. “But then he makes a beeline back to the stage, and I looked at my daughter, and said, ‘Do you know what’s going on?’” Rebecca said. She said Duckworth slowly nodded with tears in her eyes then darted away to videotape what was about to happen. “So they left me sitting at that table by myself, and I am literally panicking,” she said. “Is he going to tell them to make me sing … all kinds of things going through my head.” McAuliffe realized when he returned to the stage that word had spread about his plan among the gospel singers. He noticed the women of The Renewed Voices for Christ smiling at him as he removed the oversized boxes from the ring and slipped it on his pinky finger. Then Nunley called McAuliffe over. “I’m in the middle of the stage,” McAuliffe said. “There’s like 500 people.” Nunley summoned Becky down, and she danced her way to the stage. McAuliffe popped the question, and Rebecca turned her face and pointed to her cheek for a kiss. She said yes, and the crowd went wild.

After the gospel concert, The Renewed Voices of Christ member Richard Douglas approached McAuliffe and said his was the first proposal the group – which has been together for 25 years – had had during a performance. He invited

McAuliffe, Rebecca and Duckworth to tour the House of Blues, gave them a bottle of champagne and asked them to have their picture taken with the group. The couple obliged, and asked if the group would sing at Immanuel Lutheran in Lake Geneva. When the group agreed, McAuliffe asked, “How about a wedding?” On Oct. 4, William Smith Jr. and The Renewed Voices of Christ – a group from community churches in Chicago who began singing together as teenagers – performed at the nuptials of Mark and Rebecca McAuliffe. Group member Christopher Hall said the Chicago-area group had not sung in Wisconsin before but didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation. “Whoever beckons us, we always come,” he said. Mark McAuliffe kept the visiting performers a secret from his wedding guests. Duckworth’s video of McAuliffe’s House of Blues proposal played on the church’s big screen as guests became suspicious of the rustling of people they heard in the sanctuary. When the Rev. MaryAnn Moller-Gunderson proclaimed, “Let the celebration begin,” the booming a capella sound of the gospel singers let loose. “They were just so cool,” McAuliffe said. “I can’t say enough how cool they were.” And, Immanuel Lutheran Church welcomed them with open arms, he said. “Everybody really loved them,” said Rebecca McAuliffe. “Immanuel really came through for us. It’s not a very diverse area, and we weren’t sure how well they’d be received.” The group stayed to play at the McAuliffe’s reception – held in the hall attached to the new church at 700 N. Bloomfield Road, and then stayed overnight to sing at Immanuel Lutheran’s services Sunday morning. “They got a five-minute standing ovation,” McAuliffe said. “They just blew it away.” “We came for the wedding, and we had such a great time,” Hall said. “Everybody enjoyed us so much, they asked us to stay over for the service.”

Rebecca McAuliffe said the group’s performance – a celebration of 25 years together – is very personal for her and her husband, and a testament to the warmth of Immanuel Lutheran’s congregation. “It’s amazing,” she said. Hall said the group is excited to return to Lake Geneva as a featured act at Immanuel Lutheran. “I have been to a million churches in my lifetime, and I can by far say this is one of the most loving, most welcoming,” he said. “It was phenomenal.”

The next song The McAuliffes have stayed in touch with members

of the group and attended a service at one of their neighborhood churches in Chicago around Christmas. “You want to talk about killing it,” Mark McAuliffe said. “I mean, I had chills just listening to it.” On Saturday – the day after Mark McAuliffe’s 10year anniversary of sobriety – The Renewed Voices For Christ will present a gospel revival from 7 to 9 p.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Church. McAuliffe has sold 300 tickets for the performance at the church, which holds 425 people. The cost is $10 per ticket. Tickets are available in the church office or by calling McAuliffe at (262) 215-3900. If the event is not sold out, tickets will be available at the door.

‘We come

together to sing’

Gospel group formed after high school in Chicago area By Vicky Wedig STAFF WRITER

The group William Smith Jr. and The Renewed Voices of Christ began 25 years ago when high school choir members didn’t let graduation stop them from singing. Christopher Hall, a 12-year member of the group, said the original members were part of the Hyde Park High School choir in Chicago. “What happened was that the guys that were in the high school choir graduated and they wanted to continue to sing,” Hall said. So, they met at a former choir member’s mother’s house and founded their own group. Today, the group is 23 members strong. It has multiple members who have been with the group for more than two decades and others who have come and gone, but only two founding members – William “Billy” Smith Jr. and Cedric Nunley. Hall said Smith is the organist and founder. “He does everything,” he said. For 15 years, the group has performed regularly at the House of Blues in Chicago and has appeared with such gospel greats as Aretha Franklin, Mavis Staples, Richard Smallwood and Bishop Walter Hawkins. The group also performed on The Oprah Winfrey Show with Maya Angelou. “It’s been an exciting ride,” Hall said. “We minister to all kinds of audiences.” He said the group has retained a core group of 15 to 20, and, at one point, had as many as 40 members. Hall said the members are from throughout the Chicago area and attend many different churches in Chicagoland. “We all come together to sing,” he said.

appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, to propose boundaries for Representative, Legislative and Congressional Districts by April 1 of each year following a decennial census. Legislation demarcating proposed boundaries would be authored by the board and introduced to both chambers of the Legislature simultaneously, after which an up-or-down vote would be required, with legislators’ power to amend limited to the correction of technical errors. Districts created as a result of this measure would be composed of contiguous territory, with populations as close to equal as is practicable and compact shapes that correspond to established geographical and political subdivisions of the state, while upholding federal laws requiring minority representation. To gather constituent in-

put and provide the board non-binding advice during the development of the redistricting plan, the measure also calls for the creation of the Temporary Redistricting Advisory Commission. The commission would consist of five members, one nominated by each of the four leaders of the Illinois General Assembly (the Speaker of the House, the President of the Senate, and the House and Senate Minority Leaders), with the fifth elected by a majority vote of the four commission members. Individuals who hold public office and their relatives would be ineligible for appointment to this commission. “To enact meaningful reforms, we need to start thinking now about how we want this process to unfold differently before the next census,” Franks added. “Changing the practice of districts being drawn by insiders for their own benefit is going

to be a complex process, with a great deal of negotiation and compromise, but the first step is to start a conversation in which everyone’s voice is welcome.” Franks introduced House Bill 1559 on Feb. 9. For more information, contact Franks’ full-time constituent service office at (815) 334-0063 or email jack@jackfranks.org.

McHenry County Department of Health and Centegra will offer quit-smoking classes for adults in March. Participants will meet once a week for seven weeks from 6 to 7:30 p.m., beginning Wednesday, March 11, at Centegra Hospital Woodstock, Conference Rooms A & B, 3701 Doty Road, in Woodstock. A $25 course fee is refunded if all sessions are attended. Class members will also receive a free threeday pass to Centegra’s Health Bridge Fitness Center. To register, call the health department at (815) 3344525. Classes will teach practical ways to end nicotine addiction through group support and behavior modification. It will also review nicotine replacement products that are currently on the market. Instruction is provided by health department staff that is trained in the American Lung Association’s Freedom From Smoking program. This program is considered the “gold standard” and has helped tens of thousands of smokers quit over the last 30 years, according to department staff. Evaluation studies have shown that people who participate in Freedom From Smoking experience immediate health benefits, learn to address the physical, mental, and social aspects of their addiction, and are six times more likely to be smoke free one year later than those who quit on their own. To speak with a counselor immediately, call the Illinois Tobacco Quit Line at 1-866-QUIT-YES.

Visitors can ski/hike every night until 9 p.m. on solar-lit trails at Pleasant Valley Conservation Area in Woodstock (one-half mile loop through prairie) and at Hickory Grove Highlands in Cary (a one-mile looped trail through the wooded savanna). Sites open late during daylight savings time change. After March 8, sites close at sunset.

New legislation introduced by state Rep. Jack D. Franks, D-Marengo, proposes reforming the politicized process of electoral redistricting. “The dismal turnout in election after election is a direct result of the fact that many citizens feel that their votes don’t count,” Franks said in a press release issued by his office. “By creating a non-political framework for electoral redistricting, Illinois has the opportunity to affirm its commitment to voters’ rights and end the process of political gerrymandering, eliminating the existence of districts designed for incumbent protection.” House Bill 1559 seeks to address the problem of electoral gerrymandering through the establishment of a non-partisan process led by the Illinois State Board of Elections. Franks’ measure calls for the board, whose membership of eight is
