FBI had eyes on suspected robbers 2 charged in Richmond bank shootout; details emerge

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – Two men were charged with attempted bank robbery after FBI agents tracked them from Chicago and cornered them in a parking lot of a Richmond bank, where agents killed their accomplice Friday.

Aaron Russell, 40, 9200 Hunter Drive, Orland Hills, and Roberto Favela, 34, 5547 S. California Ave., Chicago, were each charged late Friday with one count of felony

attempted bank robbery, the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office announced.

Both men appeared Saturday morning in federal court in Chicago, where they were formally charged and held pending their next court appearance Tuesday morning in Rockford.

In a sworn affidavit filed Friday, FBI Special Agent Terry Heatherman said au-

thorities shot and killed an accomplice, Tony Starnes, 45, 7836 S. Marquette Ave., Chicago, after he rammed a Honda Civic into one of the agent’s vehicles at the parking lot of Associated Bank, 10910 N. Main St., Richmond, late Friday morning.

The sound of gunshots was the first notice for many surrounding businesses and residents that something

was awry in the small town of Richmond, but the FBI had been investigating Russell and others for a string of armed robberies of Chicago area jewelry stores. Russell and Starnes also were being investigated for a Feb. 2 bank robbery in Poplar Grove, authorities said.

The FBI’s surveillance started Friday after agents saw Favela driving a 2004

Chevy Tahoe and Starnes driving a 2005 Honda Civic that had been reported stolen in Chicago in December, according to Heathermen’s affidavit.

The two cars traveled from Chicago to an undisclosed location in Wisconsin near the Illinois border, where FBI agents saw Russell leave the Tahoe and enter the back seat of the Civic, according to the

MOTHER’S DAY

‘She’s the mom. That doesn’t change’

affidavit.

The FBI then followed the cars to Richmond, where the Civic drove past Associated Bank, made a U-turn and parked in front of the bank.

The Tahoe then parked in the same lot farther away, the affidavit states.

FBI agents immediately surrounded the Civic, then Starnes rammed an agent’s car, causing authorities to shoot and kill him. They then apprehended Russell,

ICHMOND – Lenni Johanson and Erica Sarna have spent summer days floating in the water and talking science.

Besides working in the same science depart-

ment at Nippersink Middle School in Richmond, the pair are mother and daughter.

“We eat, sleep and dream science a lot,” Johanson said. “If we’re commuting, we’ll usually talk about the day, what we’re going to do, how we’re going to work this, what we need to remember, blah blah blah, and a lot of times, the

ride home is a rehash.”

The two live about seven minutes away from each other, just on the other side of the Illinois-Wisconsin border. Sarna and her husband, John, have two children: Logan, 7, and Lucy, 5.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

Embrace cameras in Ill. courts Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice County later this month for a noble cause.

Kilbride is the keynote speaker at an annual event recognizing local attorneys and law firms that represent less-affluent clients on a pro bono basis.

His speech, “Access to Justice, a Work in Progress,” will be May 28 at the awards luncheon sponsored by Prairie State Legal Services and the McHenry County Bar Association.

Legal services are expensive. Someone with limited financial resources who needs an attorney for criminal or civil reasons can find themselves in quite a bind. So attorneys who offer their expertise and services to those who can’t afford to pay them should be recognized.

That’s not the point of today’s diatribe, though.

I’m hoping that Kilbride also delivers another important message when speaking to McHenry County attorneys, prosecutors and judges – the importance of openness in our court system.

In January 2012, Kilbride became a bit of a hero to open-government advocates when he introduced a pilot program allowing the news media to bring still and video cameras into Illinois’ circuit courtrooms under strict, agreed-upon criteria.

This greater media access to our courtrooms also means greater public access.

While most courtrooms and court cases in Illinois are open to the public, our court system generally operates between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. That’s when most people work.

The reality is, the vast majority of local residents don’t have access to our court system. So it’s the media’s role to provide the best information they can. We can do that much better with greater access through video and photography.

Poll: Belief in JFK conspiracy slips slightly The ASSOCIATED PRESS A clear majority of Americans still suspect there was a conspiracy behind President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, but the percentage who believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone is at its highest level since the mid-1960s, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.

Cheryl Casati, 62, who retired from the Air Force after 20 years, watched it all unfold on television back in November 1963. She said she’s “extremely sure” there was a conspiracy. The killing of Oswald, the accused shooter, just days after the assassination is part of the reason why.

“There’s too many holes in explanations,” the Phoenix-area woman said. “That just could not have happened easily in that time and place.

And (Jack) Ruby shooting (Oswald) could not have happened as easily as it did.”

Pat Sicinski sees it differently. She and her husband recently visited the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas. Looking out the sixthfloor window from which Oswald allegedly fired on Kennedy’s motorcade helped reaffirm the retired school employee’s faith in the Warren Commission conclusion

President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, are seen upon their arrival Nov. 22, 1963, at Dallas Airport in Dallas shortly before President Kennedy was assassinated. that Oswald was the lone gunman.

“Some skepticism is always justified,” the 68-yearold Houston-area woman said. “I just think when people take it to extremes, they lose me.”

According to the AP-GfK survey, conducted in midApril, 59 percent of Americans think multiple people were involved in a conspiracy to kill the president, while 24 percent think Oswald acted alone, and 16 percent are unsure. A 2003 Gallup poll found that 75 percent of Americans felt there was a conspiracy.

The Oswald-acted-alone results, meanwhile, are the highest since the period three years after the assassination, when 36 percent said one man was responsible for Kennedy’s death.

Robert Mawyer of Blairsville, Ga., is one of them. The 44-year-old IT salesman recently finished reading Bill O’Reilly’s “Killing Kennedy.” Assuming all of that information is correct, he has no problem accepting that Oswald went solo.

“The Warren Commission says that’s what happened, so I tend to believe that, I guess,” he said. But, he add-

ed, “I don’t suppose anybody can be completely positive.”

Jon Genova is positive that no one person could have pulled off this crime.

“There are just a number of factors that don’t seem to zero out in my mind,” the 46-year-old Denver mechanical engineer said. “How some evidence seemed to be suppressed, and the results are sealed for how many years? And the fact that ... it just seemed like the whole political winds change at the point when Kennedy was assassinated. It just seemed as if he was probably an impediment.”

Those who were adults in 1963 were almost as likely as younger Americans to say that Kennedy’s killing was a conspiracy involving multiple people – 55 percent, compared to 61 percent.

As for who might have been behind a conspiracy, Genova’s money is on the Central Intelligence Agency.

Casati, who wouldn’t divulge her rank or military occupation, was a little more circumspect.

“I will tell you that Jack Kennedy was too much of his own person,” she said. “And he made decisions that were not popular with some agencies, as far as I’m concerned.”

Saturday’s results:

yes

To date, 11 circuit courts covering 28 Illinois counties are participating in the pilot program, including Lake County to the east and Boone County to the west. To date, the pilot program has been a success.

In February, a meeting was held at the McHenry County Government Center to discuss the possibility of McHenry County’s circuit court entering the program. It was as well-received as Packers fans at a Bears convention.

One by one, judges, retired judges, attorneys and other court officials stood up and stated why greater public access was wrong for our county.

Witnesses would be afraid to testify.

Attorneys would play to the cameras.

Juries would be tainted.

People’s lives would be in danger.

It was a novel, untested idea.

Never mind that dozens of states across the country have allowed cameras in courtrooms for decades. Never mind that these stated concerns have not come to fruition elsewhere.

I’m not asking Kilbride to discuss the pilot program during his keynote address. He’s here to talk about the importance of pro bono work and to honor local attorneys who give back. That’s worthy enough.

But maybe during the hand-grabbing and informal chitchat that takes place before and after the main event, he can discuss how successful the pilot programs have been around the state.

Maybe local attorneys and judges who have concerns about allowing cameras in courtrooms can ask him about the pilot program and those concerns.

I think it’s inevitable that all Illinois courtrooms will at some point be opened to cameras. It’s a matter of when, not if. I ask those in the system

to keep an open mind.

We at the Northwest Herald look forward to continue working with stakeholders on this. Taxpayers deserve nothing less.

••• Congratulations to the Family Health Partnership Clinic, which broke ground May 1 on its new, expanded site in Crystal Lake. FHPC uses a network of volunteer physicians to provide high-quality health care to McHenry County’s uninsured and underinsured.

The Sage Center for Care is being built on Congress Parkway, just north of Route 14, near a number of medical offices. The new clinic will be 9,200 square feet, double its current space in Woodstock and be nearer to public transportation, a larger population base, and its invaluable network of volunteers.

Almost 90 percent of the cost to build the center has been raised through private donations so far, including a startup gift from the Foglia Family Foundation. The Sage Center is named for Sage Products, whose founder is Vincent Foglia, a longtime supporter of FHPC. The new clinic is expected to open in October.

••• Thanks, moms: Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there, including my wife, my mom and mother-inlaw and my two sisters. There aren’t enough greeting cards or flower displays in the world to show our appreciation for all that you do. The sacrifices you make for your children and your families are priceless. We certainly shouldn’t wait until today to express our thanks and our love.

Please enjoy your day.

Ginsburg: Roe gave opponents target

By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – One of the most liberal members of the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg could be expected to give a rousing defense of Roe v. Wade in reflecting on the landmark vote 40 years after it established a nationwide right to abortion.

Instead, Ginsburg told an audience Saturday at the University of Chicago Law School that while she supports a woman’s right to choose, she feels the ruling by her predecessors on the court was too sweeping and gave abortion opponents a symbol to target. Ever since, she said, the momentum has been on the other side, with anger over Roe fueling a stateby-state campaign that has placed more restrictions on abortion.

“That was my concern, that the court had given opponents of access to abortion a target to aim at relentlessly,” she told a crowd of students. “... My criticism of Roe is that it seemed to have stopped the momentum that was on the side of change.”

The ruling is also a disappointment to a degree, Ginsburg said, because it was not argued in weighty terms of advancing women’s rights. Rather, the Roe opinion, written

by Justice Harry Blackmun, centered on the right to privacy and asserted that it extend-

Four decades later, abortion is one of the most polarizing issues in American life, and anti-abortion activists have pushed legislation at the state level in an effort to scale back the 1973 decision.

Ginsburg would have rather seen the justices make a narrower decision that struck down only the Texas law that brought the matter before the court. That law allowed abor-

tions only to save a mother’s life.

A more restrained judgment would have sent a message while allowing momentum to build at a time when a number of states were expanding abortion rights, she said.

She added that it might also have denied opponents the argument that abortion rights resulted from an undemocratic process in the decision by “unelected old men.”

Ginsburg told the students

she prefers what she termed “judicial restraint” and argued that such an approach can be more effective than expansive, aggressive decisions.

“The court can put its stamp of approval on the side of change and let that change develop in the political process,” she said.

A similar dynamic is playing out over gay marriage and the speculation over how the Supreme Court might act on that issue.

SPRINGFIELD – Eleven Illinois counties that suffered damage from last month’s flooding have been declared federal disaster areas.

The Illinois Department of Emergency Management said assessments done for 12 days straight since April 29 found nearly 3,700 damaged homes in 14 counties. Severe storms, flooding and winds hit Illinois in April, causing floods in dozens of counties.

Four state teams, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Small Business Administration and local officials have taken part in the damage assessment, which is ongoing.

“With 49 Illinois counties across the state impacted by flooding, this process takes time,” IEMA Direc-

tor Jonathon Monken said.

“The teams are working as quickly as possible, while still taking time to carefully document the full impact of the flood on people and their communities.”

President Barack Obama on Friday approved access to federal aid for recovery efforts to Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Fulton, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, McHenry and Will counties. The federal assistance could include grant money and loans to pay for repairs, property losses and temporary housing.

Gov. Pat Quinn previously declared 49 Illinois counties as state disaster areas.

State and federal teams also have started meeting with local government officials to document flood-related expenses.

Ill. estimates $212M loss in online taxes The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – New estimates show the state of Illinois will lose $212 million in unpaid sales taxes from online purchases during 2013.

The Illinois Department of Revenue released the updated 2013 figure, which is up from the estimated loss of $183 million in 2012.

Including the 2013 figure, total losses for Illinois over the past five years would be $820 million, The State Journal-Register in Springfield reported.

“We look at national sales and Illinois online sales trends,” revenue department spokeswoman Sue Hofer said.

She said the figure has risen along with the popularity of

online shopping.

The revenue department says Illinois collected about $12 million in sales taxes from self-reported online purchases in 2012 – up $500,000 from 2011.

“Basically, before we were only getting boats and other big purchases,” Hofer said.

“We weren’t getting books and small items.”

The updated figure comes as lawmakers in Washington consider legislation that would give states the power to collect sales taxes from Internet purchases.

Uncollected sales tax estimates in Illinois were $125 million in 2009; $143 million in 2010; $157 million in 2011; $183 million in 2012 and $212 million for this year.

City of Dixon targets bank over ex-city official’s theft The ASSOCIATED PRESS DIXON – The city of Dixon is citing a deposition by a former branch manager in its lawsuit against the bank, where former city Comptroller Rita Crundwell had a secret account that she used in her theft of nearly $54 million.

The former city bookkeeper was sentenced in February to nearly 20 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud. Crundwell stole the money from Dixon over 22 years, using it to support a lavish lifestyle and a renowned horse-breeding operation.

The city’s lawsuit blames Fifth Third Bank and its auditors and seeks $53 million in damages.

The deposition by former Fifth Third Bank branch manager Amanda Powers ac-

knowledges the bank failed to follow reasonable commercial banking standards in its handling of the account, according to a report Saturday in The (Dixon) Telegraph.

Powers said in her deposition that the bank cashed unendorsed checks from Crundwell, cashed checks made payable to “treasurer” without further inquiry and allowed Crundwell’s secret personal account to be opened as a city account without proper verification.

The bank is seeking to be removed from the lawsuit because it said Dixon is barred from taking legal action against it by the Illinois Fiduciary Obligations Act, which shields banks from liability for an account holder’s dishonest finances – but only if the bank’s dealings are in “good faith.”

Suspensions in nuclear force raise questions

By ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Beyond the Air Force’s embarrassing suspension of 17 nuclear missile launch officers lie two broader questions.

Do those entrusted with the world’s most destructive weapons feel stuck in a deadend career field, given the momentum toward more nuclear arms reductions? And is there a morale crisis among these officers?

This matters because the missiles – 450 of them standing in below-ground silos, ready for launch at a moment’s notice – form a critical part of America’s nuclear defenses. There is little room for error. Although none has ever been fired in anger, the risk of accidental launch or unauthorized intrusion is real.

In a rare look inside the secretive world of nuclear mis-

siles, The Associated Press reported this past week that the deputy commander of operations for the 91st Missile Wing at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., complained to his officers about “rot” within their ranks.

In a confidential email obtained by the AP, Lt. Col. Jay Folds wrote of 17 launch officers, 10 percent of his force, being removed from duty for what he likened to incompetence. They are being given remedial training, with the goal of being back on duty within two months.

“If you have this many officers who failed, then how do you explain that and who should be held accountable for their failure?” Robert Gates, a former defense secretary, said Friday. “I think those questions clearly need to be answered.”

In South, GOP uses powers to control cities

By BILL BARROW The Associated Press ATLANTA – Even with Republicans holding unprecedented political power across the South, Democrats remain mostly in charge of urban centers in otherwise conservative states. Yet increasingly that control is threatened, not at the ballot box, but by Republican-led legislatures reaching into local governing decisions, often over objections.

In Georgia and North Carolina, GOP efforts range from regionalizing the Charlotte airport, the Atlanta metro transit system and the Asheville water system to redrawing district lines for local offices to benefit Republican candidates.

Republicans insist there’s no power play at work as they do battle with Democrats such as Charlotte Mayor Antony Foxx, who is now President Barack Obama’s nominee to be U.S. transportation secretary, and the board of commissioners in Georgia’s most populous county, which includes most of Atlanta. Georgia state Rep. Edward Lindsey, a key GOP floor leader and a candidate for Congress, said the ideas are intended to make government more responsive and efficient.

Some Republicans also note that a few pursuits – like a North Carolina bill that would bar local governments from issuing environmental regulations more stringent than the state’s – apply regardless of who runs a county or municipality.

But many Democrats say Republican supermajorities are abusing newfound power to overtake the last lingering Democratic bastions. And some Democrats almost mock Republicans for abandoning the conservative principle – usually attributed to Thomas Jefferson – that the best government is the one closest to home.

“This all just flies in the face of Republican thinking,”

said North Carolina state Sen. Floyd McKissick, a Democrat from Durham.

In Georgia, race is also at play in the longstanding tension between the majority African-American south Fulton County and the whiter, wealthier areas in newly constituted cities north of Atlanta.

“None of this is about making Fulton government better,” said Georgia Democratic Party Chairman Mike Berlon.

“This is about taking over Fulton County.”

In Georgia, the Republican-led legislature this year redrew lines for the Fulton commissioners to give north Fulton residents, who are reliably more Republican, a greater voice. Two black Democrats in south Fulton must now run against each other.

The GOP stripped the commission’s power to appoint the top county elections official and handed the Republican governor the power to appoint the chief local magistrate judge.

They also made it easier to fire new county employees.

When the General Assembly reconvenes in January, Republicans will pick up two even bigger measures that were stymied this year: One would grant a property tax break that Fulton County officials say would gut their budget. The other would overhaul the Atlanta metro transit system, privatizing many of its functions and giving suburbs more control. There’s also an annual measure for north Fulton to break away from the south altogether and form its own county.

Lindsey, who represents the wealthy Atlanta neighborhood of Buckhead, attributed the push in no small part to mismanagement by Fulton officials. Fulton elections have been plagued by voting problems, with thousands of new voters having to cast provisional ballots last November.

The transit system has in hand an independent analysis identifying potential savings from some privatization.

8NATION BRIEFS Spacewalking repair halts station leak for now

U.S. Arabs, others engage in national service day

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Astronauts making a rare, hastily planned spacewalk replaced a pump outside the International Space Station on Saturday in hopes of plugging a serious ammonia leak. The prospects of success grew as hours passed and no frozen flecks of ammonia appeared. Mission Control said it appeared as though the leak may have been plugged, although monitoring over the coming weeks will be needed before declaring a victory.

DETROIT – Roughly 2,000 Arab-Americans and others in about a dozen communities nationwide were volunteering their time Saturday as part of the National Arab American Service Day, tackling a punch list that included boarding up and tearing down abandoned homes in Detroit and cleaning up areas hard hit by Superstorm Sandy in New York. Bad weather forced a service project in Atlanta to be delayed until Saturday.

Air Force Secretary Michael Donley (left) and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh III testify at a Capitol Hill hearing Thursday on the defense budget for the Air Force in Washington. gon tenure, Gates fired the top two Air Force leaders in 2008.

That followed a series of nuclear embarrassments, including the inadvertent transport of six nuclear-tipped missiles on a B-52 bomber,

whose pilot did not know they were aboard when he flew from Minot to Barksdale Air Force Base, La. Gates said in an interview Friday before addressing graduates of the University of

South Carolina in Columbia, S.C., that he was disappointed by the latest revelations but confident that Minot’s weapons were not in jeopardy.

The Minot missile wing is responsible for 150 Minuteman 3 missiles, one-third of the Air Force’s entire ICBM force.

Inside the missile launch capsules, so called because of their pill-like shape, two officers stand watch, authorized to turn the keys enabled by secret launch codes if the presidential order ever comes.

They are 60 feet underground, electronically linked to 10 silos, each with one armed Minuteman 3.

That is a lot of responsibility for the young lieutenants and captains that the Air Force puts in these jobs. It’s also an enormous challenge for their commanders to keep them on track – a challenge not always met.

In a March inspection the 91st wing was rated “marginal,” the equivalent of a “D’’ grade, when tested on launch skills.

Folds described a deeper problem, citing willful rule violations such as leaving open the multi-ton blast door to their launch compartment while one of the two crew members was asleep. Sleep breaks are authorized, but the open door is not, given the risk of losing control of the capsule to an unauthorized intruder.

Publicly, the Air Force insists that its missileers, as they are known within the service, are capable, trustworthy and committed. But Air Force Secretary Michael Donley also acknowledged in congressional testimony that he worries that talk of further shrinking the nation’s nuclear force is having a “corrosive effect” on his troops.

Recovery begins now for 3 Ohio women

By JESSE WASHINGTON The Associated Press Year after year, the clock ticked by and the calendar marched forward, carrying the three women further from the real world and pulling them deeper into an isolated nightmare.

Now, for the women freed from captivity inside a Cleveland house, the ordeal is not over. Next comes recovery – from sexual abuse and their sudden, jarring re-entry into a world much different from the one they were snatched from a decade ago.

Therapists say that with extensive treatment and support, healing is likely for the women, who were 14, 16 and 21 when they were abducted.

But it is often a long and difficult process.

“It’s sort of like coming out of a coma,” says Dr. Barbara Greenberg, a psychologist who specializes in treating abused teenagers. “It’s a very isolating and bewildering experience.”

In the world the women left behind, a gallon of gas cost about $1.80. Barack Obama was a state senator. Phones were barely taking pictures.

Things did not “go viral.”

There was no YouTube, no Facebook, no iPhone.

Emerging into the future is difficult enough. The two younger Cleveland women are doing it without the benefit of crucial formative years.

A missing poster still hangs on a tree Wednesday outside the home of Amanda Berry in Cleveland. For Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, who were freed from captivity inside a Cleveland house earlier this week, the ordeal is not over. Next comes recovery – from sexual abuse and their sudden, jarring reentry into a world much different than the one they were snatched from a decade ago.

“By taking away their adolescence, they weren’t able to develop emotional and psychological and social skills,” says Duane Bowers, who counsels traumatized families through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

“They’re 10 years behind in these skills. Those need to be caught up before they can work on reintegrating into society,” he says.

That society can be terrifying. As freed captive Geor-

gina DeJesus arrived home from the hospital, watched by a media horde, she hid herself beneath a hooded sweatshirt.

The freed Amanda Berry slipped into her home without being seen.

“They weren’t hiding from the press, from the cameras,” Bowers says. “They were hiding from the freedom, from the expansiveness.”

In the house owned by Ariel Castro, who is charged with kidnapping and raping the women, claustrophobic

control ruled. Police say that Castro kept them chained in a basement and locked in upstairs rooms, that he fathered a child with one of them and that he starved and beat one captive into multiple miscarriages.

In all those years, they only set foot outside of the house twice – and then only as far as the garage.

“Something as simple as walking into a Target is going to be a major problem for them,” Bowers says.

Supporters of Pakistan Muslim League-N party celebrate the primary unofficial results Saturday of the country’s parliamentary elections at a party office in Lahore, Pakistan.

Pakistan’s Sharif declares victory amid violent vote The ASSOCIATED PRESS ISLAMABAD – Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif declared victory after a historic election marred by violence Saturday, a remarkable comeback for a leader once toppled in a military coup and sent into exile.

The 63-year-old Sharif, who has twice served as premier, touted his success after unofficial, partial vote counts showed his Pakistan Muslim League-N party with an overwhelming lead. The party weathered a strong campaign by former cricket star Imran Khan that energized Pakistan’s young people.

Sharif expressed a desire to work with all parties to solve the country’s problems in a victory speech given to his supporters in the eastern city of Lahore as his lead in the national election became apparent based on vote counts an-

nounced by Pakistan state TV. The results, which need to be officially confirmed, indicated Sharif’s party has an overwhelming lead but would fall short of winning a majority of the 272 directly elected national assembly seats. That means he would have to put together a ruling coalition.

“I appeal to all to come sit with me at the table so that this nation can get rid of this curse of power cuts, inflation and unemployment,” Sharif said, as his supporters clapped, cheered and danced in the streets.

Despite attacks against candidates, party workers and voters that killed 29 people Saturday, Pakistanis turned out in large numbers to elect the national and provincial assemblies. The high participation was a sign of Pakistanis’ desire for change after years of hardship under the outgoing government,

and it offered a sharp rebuke to Taliban militants and others who have tried to derail the election with attacks that have killed more than 150 people in recent weeks.

“Our country is in big trouble,” said Mohammad Ali, a shopkeeper who voted in Lahore. “Our people are jobless.

Our business is badly affected. We are dying every day.”

The vote marked the first time a civilian government has completed its full five-year term and transferred power in democratic elections in a country that has experienced three coups and constant political instability since it was established in 1947.

The election was being watched closely by the United States, which relies on the nuclear-armed country of 180 million people for help fighting Islamic militants and negotiating an end to the war in neighboring Afghanistan.

Blast kills dozens in Turkey; Syria-linked group blamed

By MEHMET GUZEL and SUZAN FRASER The Associated Press

AP photo

Latifa Khedri, 53, the mother of Adel Khedri, walks in the cemetery April 16 where her son is buried in the farming town of Souk al-Jumma, Tunisia. Adel set himself on fire March 12 outside the Municipal Theater in the heart of Tunis.

Vendor’s suicide reflects despair of Mideast youth

By KARIN LAUB The Associated Press SOUK AL-JUMMA, Tunisia – On the day he chose to die, Adel Khedri woke up at 6:30 a.m., took his black backpack and headed down to the busy boulevard where he worked as a cigarette peddler.

It was the last in a series of odd jobs that had defined his hand-to-mouth existence for almost nine years. He couldn’t afford to pay bribes to get hired as a driver or a guard.

The Tunisian army didn’t need him. There were few factory jobs. And the owner at a fast food restaurant in neighboring Libya had cheated him out of wages as a dishwasher.

So on March 12, three weeks after his 27th birthday, Adel left the dirty room he shared with his older brother in a Tunis slum for the treelined Avenue Habib Bourguiba, once the stage for the first of the Arab Spring uprisings.

He stopped in front of the art deco Municipal Theater.

He poured gasoline over his body. Then he set himself on fire.

Adel died 19 hours later.

One of his last words to a doctor at the burn center was “faddit” – slang for “fed up.”

Adel is one of 178 people in Tunisia who have set themselves on fire since the self-immolation two years ago of another high school dropout-turned-street vendor launched the Arab Spring.

These two book-ends of a revolution that toppled four Arab dictators show how little has changed in between for millions of jobless, hopeless 20-somethings across the Middle East and North Africa.

The difficulty of finding a job, which helped spark the unrest, is now a prescription for continued turmoil.

Youth unemployment worldwide is up to about 12.3 percent, in part because of the global financial crisis that began five years ago. But some areas of the Middle East and North Africa suffer from more

than twice that rate, because of stubborn labor market problems compounded by the turmoil of the Arab Spring.

And the future looks worse.

In the Middle East, youth unemployment is expected to rise from 27.7 percent in 2011 to 30 percent in 2018, the International Labor Organization reported this week. In North Africa, a slight increase is expected, from 23.3 percent to 23.9 percent.

Economists say fixing the problem will require broad and deep changes, such as overhauling education, slashing bloated public sectors and encouraging entrepreneurship.

“There is no quick solution that will address all the aspirations of young people looking for jobs now,” said Masood Ahmed, head of the International Monetary Fund for the Middle East and North Africa.

In the meantime, the numbers add up to a generation in trouble.

REYHANLI, Turkey – In one of the deadliest attacks in Turkey in recent years, two car bombs exploded near the border with Syria on Saturday, killing 43 and wounding 140 others. Turkish officials blamed the attack on a group linked to Syria, and a deputy prime minister called the neighboring country’s intelligence service and military “the usual suspects.”

The blasts, which were 15 minutes apart and hit the town of Reyhanli’s busiest street, raised fears that Turkey could increasingly be drawn into Syria’s brutal civil war.

Turkey already hosts Syria’s political opposition and rebel commanders, has given shelter to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees and in the past retaliated against Syrian shells that landed in Turkey.

Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said the assailants were from Turkey, but were linked to Syria’s intelligence service.

“We have to a great extent completed our work toward identifying the assailants,” he told reporters. “We have established that the organization and assailants have links to the pro-regime mukhabarat [intelligence] organization.”

He did not name the group, but said the aim of the attack was to pit Turks against Syrian refugees in Reyhanli.

Earlier, another deputy prime minister, Bulent Arinc said: “Our thoughts are that their mukhabarat and armed organizations are the usual suspects in planning and the carrying out of such devilish plans,” he said.

Arinc said the attacks were still being investigated, but that If it’s proven that Syrian was behind the attack, Turkey would “do whatever is necessary,” without speci-

fying if that included military action.

One of the car bombs exploded outside the city hall while the other went off outside the post office. Reyhanli, a main hub for Syrian refugees and rebels in Turkey’s Hatay province, is just across the border from Syria’s Idlib province. Private NTV television, citing unnamed sources, said the explosions were remote-controlled and that plastic explosives were used.

Images showed people frantically carrying the wounded through the rubble-strewn streets to safety.

Black smoke billowed from a tall building.

The explosions came days before Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to travel to the U.S. for talks, which are expected to be dominated by the situation in Syria. The car bombings also follow allegations by Erdogan the Syrian regime has fired about 200 missiles tipped with chemical weapons.

Friday’s gas explosion happened in neighboring Guizhou province. China’s mines are the deadliest in the world. Authorities have improved safety in recent years, but regulations are often ignored.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former president who still wields enormous influence, and Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, a close confident of Ahmadinejad, submitted their official paperwork just before Saturday’s deadline.

Authorities also arrested Favela in the driver’s seat of the Tahoe.

After waiving his Miranda rights, Russell said in an interview with the FBI that he, Starnes and Favela met in Chicago to rob the bank

in Richmond, the affidavit states.

Russell explained that Starnes picked the Richmond bank because he was familiar with the area. Russell and Starnes circled the bank to allow customers to leave while Favela served as lookout for police, according to the affidavit.

Russell also told authorities that he had two handguns in the back seat of the Civic and that Starnes had a

gun on the front seat of the Tahoe, the affidavit states.

“Russell said the goal was not to hurt anyone inside the bank, but that the firearms were real,” Heatherman said in the affidavit.

Russell had been previously convicted of armed robbery in 2004 and 1991, FBI officials said.

If convicted of the charges, Russell and Favela face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Duo also operates small resale business H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Cary-based 3Gstore.com employee Bob Deering of Crystal Lake prepares packages for shipping Friday. The company sells more than the $1 million threshold that would make it have to collect taxes under the new act. Owner Michael Ginsberg says he’s not opposed to Internet sales tax, but is concerned that making small companies such as his collect taxes for all 9,000 and more jurisdictions across the country puts an unfair burden on them.

Businesses with sales on $1M or less exempt • TAX Continued from page A1 services – is among a group of small Internet retailers that are worried new legislation could hurt their business significantly.

Co-authored by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-III, the act would require Internet retailers to collect sales tax at the rate of the buyer’s local jurisdiction.

Those with sales of less than $1 million a year would be exempt.

Supporters say the act levels the playing field for struggling brick-and-mortar businesses who frequently fall victim to “showrooming,” in which customers come view and try out products in the store only to buy online.

The act would require states to provide software to Internet retailers that collect the taxes, but Ginsberg isn’t satisfied the software would take the burden off his company.

He said his company spends about four hours a month compiling Illinois

“Everybody’s not Amazon. There’s a lot of small ones that are out there.”

Michael Ginsberg Owner of Cary-based 3Gstore.com sales tax.

Having to do that for all the states, he said, is work he’s not ready to take on.

He estimates that he’d have to add two employees to his 11-person staff.

Ginsberg also is concerned he could be the subject of audits from other states.

He said he recently went through an audit in Illinois, and after 10 months, was told he owed a couple of hundred dollars.

“The amount of time they spent, the amount of time we spent, it was just insane for that,” he said.

For Ginsberg, it’s the added work that is his biggest concern. He’s not concerned that his customers simply having to pay sales tax would drive a significant portion of them away – although, he

admits, it could be a different story at companies that don’t offer such niche products.

To reduce the burden on small Internet companies, Ginsberg suggests a service created and moderated by the states.

The service communicates directly with the e-commerce platform of the specific site to keep track of how much money is owed and to where.

“This organization would know, ‘OK, Texas, we owe them eight bucks,’” Ginsberg said. “So they withdraw the money from our accounts ... [and] they distribute to all the states.”

For Ginsberg’s company, there’s a simpler solution. If the act would be amended to exempt companies with sales of up to $10 million rather than $1 million, as companies such as eBay have pushed for, 3Gstore.com no longer would qualify.

“Everybody’s not Amazon,” he said. “There’s a lot of small ones that are out there.

A million dollars in sales – that’s gross sales. ... It’s not a lot of money.”

Inside

• DUO Continued from page A1 Sarna has two other sisters, Beth and Jessica, one in Idaho and the other outside of Rockford.

They have similar teaching styles, focused on empowering the students through programs such as Science Splash, where the students teach younger kids. The programs also provide the students with opportunities to develop nonscience specific skills such as public speaking, time management and problem solving.

Over the past three summers, the two have operated a small business called Apron Strings with Mom and Me. They find “treasures” and “weird items that catch our eyes” at flea markets and estate sales, fix them up and resell them.

Despite being so close, they don’t draw attention to their relationship. Sarna calls her mother Jo at work, and Johanson calls her Sarna.

“It never gets focused on,” Sarna said. “I don’t introduce myself [as her daughter].

Now it’s just known. We’ve been here long enough. When the kids find out, they’re like, ‘That’s your mom?’”

But when they get home, there’s still a mother-daughter relationship.

“She’s still the grandma,” Sarna said. “She’s the mom.

That doesn’t change. We’re friends, but she’s still my mom.”

When Sarna was just starting her career, Johanson would help her out, talking through issues and suggesting new ways to do things – a role Johanson has assumed with a lot of teachers over the years.

“I think the biggest thing was I had to make sure I was myself,” Sarna said. “I couldn’t start teaching and think I was going to be as good as my mom right away.

I needed to learn the content and learn how I was going to present it.”

Growing up, Sarna saw her parents – both of them

teachers – come home with papers to grade and lessons to prepare, and she thought she’d never go into education. But after about three years in sales, she was ready for a change.

She got her master’s degree in education, but near graduation and not sure how to navigate this new world, she asked her mother to go along with her to a job fair in Crystal Lake.

Johanson, who was working in a small district outside Rockford, ended up getting called about a position at Nippersink Middle School, and a year later, Sarna also joined the staff.

Johanson didn’t go straight into teaching, either.

She graduated from college as a medical technologist but found she enjoyed the teaching part of it the best. Her husband, Dave – who has taught physical education, science, social studies and building trades – recommended the switch to teaching.

Johanson started at St. Patrick Catholic School in Rockford, which no longer exists.

“It was where I learned to love the kids,” she said. “It was the best place to learn how to become a teacher.”

Israel’s red line Well, President Barack Obama may have trouble figuring out where his red lines are in Syria, but not so Israel, which launched two airstrikes over the weekend aimed at destroying high-powered weapons destined for the Syrian-backed terrorists of Hezbollah.

In doing so, it is trying to prevent a repeat of the 2006 Lebanese war in which Hezbollah launched missiles from Lebanon into northern Israel and as far south as Haifa. The weapons targeted in this weekend’s raid – the Iranianbuilt Fatah-110s – are capable of reaching Tel Aviv, which during the ’06 war served as a safe haven for tens of thousands of Israelis fleeing their homes in the north.

The Israelis have repeatedly warned that Hezbollah will not be allowed to acquire Syrian chemical weapons, long-range Scud missiles, missiles capable of attacking naval vessels from the coast and Russian anti-aircraft missiles – the latter destroyed during a January airstrike. That’s their red line.

Israel has also deployed two batteries of its Iron Dome defense system in the north just in case the embattled Assad regime decides to take the air raids somewhat more personally.

(Opposition activists reported that 42 Syrian soldiers were killed in the raids.)

The White House, which has done little to combat the lawlessness that threatens to overtake Syria, has at least defended Israel’s right to defend itself against the kind of terrorism that virtually surrounds it.

And Israel for its part has maintained an extraordinary level of diplomatic and military calm even as it deals with the “stray” Syrian shells that have landed in the Golan Heights.

Still the contagion that is now Syria is making the region – and the world – a less safe place with every passing day.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Thanks for the memories To the Editor: Woodstock, and McHenry County, lost a great part of its heritage this past week when longtime journalist and historian Don Peasley passed away.

For those of you who didn’t know him, Don grew up on a downstate farm, served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and settled in Woodstock in 1947.

He and his late wife, Fran, raised a family while Don worked for local newspapers and started his own public relations company. I had the pleasure of working with him during my 12 years at the Northwest Herald.

Don had many gifts. Like many of us, he had a great sense of history – what happened before him and why it was important. And like so many, he could write, stringing words and sentences together in a way that was simple and easy to read. He also had a great eye with his camera, collecting images from people of our county for more than 65 years.

But it was his ability to use these gifts in a way that connected with people that set him apart. Don had God-given abilities and he used them in a way to make this world a better place. How many of us can say we’ve done that?

Thanks for the memories, Don. We’ll miss you.

Extending a hand To the Editor: Redeemer Lutheran Church is one of seven McHenry County PADS emergency shelter sites for homeless men, women and children.

Redeemer hosts an average of 50 homeless people from 7 p.m. each Wednesday to 7 a.m. each Thursday, from Oct. 1 through April 30.

Like the other emergency shelters, the Redeemer site operates with volunteers and donated food, funds and supplies. We have no paid staff and receive no tax dollars in any form. Our volunteers and support come from Woodstock High School, Marian Central High

School, Grace Lutheran Church, the McHenry County Jewish Congregation, the Congregational Unitarian Church, the Woodstock Area Community Ministries, other churches and organizations, the community at large, and, of course, Redeemer Lutheran Church.

The PADS shelters are a perfect example of our community coming together to extend a hand to those most in need of help.

Huge thanks are due all of the volunteers and organizations that have provided efforts and support this season.

When you see a homeless person in your daily life, please treat them with the same human kindness and dignity you would like if you were in their place; they are truly our brothers and sisters.

Look in the mirror To the Editor: Interesting article in recent Northwest Herald. It might have been titled, “How the Republicans defeated Romney and elected Obama.”

The power that politicians exert and actions they take are often not in our best interest. The only legal action I can take is to vote when the time comes.

Millions of Americans are unhappy with state and federal governments. The energy people spend moaning and complaining is incalculable. It goes on daily. Yet many can’t find the time or the ambition to exercise the only power they have to effect change.

How this country could evolve if the 42 percent of eligible voters who didn’t vote would harness a tiny bit of that energy and show up at a polling place once every 1,460 days for 10 minutes.

Public officials should work for the people, not their personal agendas. If they don’t, and they won’t accept term limits, take action. Vote them out. You have the power. When you don’t vote, however, you give your power to others who don’t think like you, believe what you believe, or have

8SPEAK OUT

Q “Should the state increase the speed limit on some highways to 70 mph?”

SPEAK OUT ON FACEBOOK “What’s the point?

Everybody drives too fast anyway. If they lift it to 70, people are going to go 90. To me, that’s nuts.”

“I already see people drive 80, 85. ... If people are already doing it, you might as well make it legal.”

“No, because it would be too scary. There’s too many texters, wild drivers.”

It’s your choice. No action is still action.

Every vote cast counts. According to the article, if voter turnout had been similar to past elections, we would probably have a different president. If you didn’t vote, you helped elect our current president.

Not paying attention To the Editor: We started hating the GOP when we realized that Reaganomics equaled a war on the lower middle class (LMC). Before Reagan, the vast majority of Americans were LMC workers on farms, factories, mines or vehicle drivers, teachers, nurses’ aides and orderlies, etc.

Yet most of them raised families and even helped the smarter kids through college on one to one-anda-half incomes. Each generation lived better than the last, even without changing jobs, etc. CEOs made several times what their LMC workers did.

Since Reagan, the GOP has fought to defeat unions; lowered taxes on the upper classes; supported almost all mergers, creating lots of “too-big-to-fail” companies; privatized everything in sight to the advantage of the rich over the LMC. The oil companies, banks, etc., that Teddy Roosevelt broke up now are many times larger than ever.

They have privatized the profits but socialized the losses as they bail out the screw-ups of these mega-companies.

for length and clarity at the sole discretion of the editor.

Submit letters by: • E-mail: letters@nwherald.com • Mail: Northwest Herald “It’s Your Write” Box 250 Crystal Lake, IL 60039-0250

Today, the LMC need two or more incomes to just keep up with their parents’ lifestyles. The CEOs make thousands of times what the LMC workers do, and the GOP works hard with Grover Norquist’s and Paul Ryan’s plans to reduce benefits for the poor and further lower taxes on the rich.

And we know, if you subtract the vote of the religious right, racists and the duped, the GOP would lose most elections. Those who are not rich and don’t hate the GOP are just not paying attention.

Interfaith dialogue To the Editor: “It is the duty of all believers, to whichever religion they belong, to proclaim that we can never be happy pitted one against the other, the future of humanity will never be able to be secured by terrorism and by the logic of war.” Pope John Paul II made this powerful statement back in 2003.

Today, I am reminded of this same sentiment as I hear Pope Francis reach out to people of all faiths as well as nonbelievers and urge peace, respect and humanity.

“We must do much for the good of the poorest, the weak, and those who are suffering, to favor justice, promote reconciliation and build peace.”

As a former Catholic, I have a renewed excitement for the church as Pope Francis looks to build bridges of interfaith dialogue and respect – because together we can promote peace and harmony worldwide.

“People already drive that fast if not faster.

I think IL Is the only state where the speed limit isn’t 70 mph. They should raise it.”

“Away from the city, yes. Some people can’t drive 50 mph or 55 mph safely. What makes one think they can drive 70 mph safely?”

Debbie Weingart Johnsburg

Rhonda Wyse Crystal Lake

“Easily should be 70 mph. People already speed, not to mention that almost every other state has a high limit.”

LAKE BARRINGTON – Lorna Kube remembers seeing her sister in pristine health during a family party in late March.

Now, nearly a month later, Kube and the rest of the family have gone from throwing parties to organizing benefits to help her sister, Lisa Rehling, overcome a life-threatening form of lung cancer.

The diagnosis happened in the days after the family party.

Rehling, an assistant director of nursing at Fair Oaks in Crystal Lake, visited the doctor to get checked for pneumonia. The doctors instead found that roughly two-thirds of her lung had collapsed, and she was diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer.

“It was completely out of the blue,” Kube said. “One day, it wasn’t there and another day it was. ... She really is fighting for her life every day.”

Kube said that a small percentage of people with Rehling’s form of lung cancer survive past five years. But

HUNTLEY: CANCER SOCIETY EVENT

Fleming detour Relay for Life sets date, seeks sponsors will send drivers to Woodstock NORTHWEST HERALD

By KEVIN CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

FLEMING ROAD: As you read in Friday’s paper, work is starting June 3 to repair the scenic, but decaying, 2 ∏-mile stretch of road that runs through Bull Valley.

The road will be closed to through traffic, and a posted detour will reroute drivers through Woodstock along Routes 120, 47 and 14.

Work is expected to be finished by the end of July, weather permitting.

JOHNSBURG ROAD: The eastbound detour goes into effect Tuesday. Only westbound traffic will be allowed to travel along the road from Chapel Hill Road to Cherokee Drive. Eastbound traffic will be rerouted through a Route 31, Route 120, Chapel Hill Road detour.

MILLER ROAD: If your travels take you on Charles Miller Road and River Road near the intersection, anticipate delays.

Work is ongoing to create another two-lane span over the Fox River and widen Miller Road to four lanes with dedicated turn lanes from Route 31 to River Road.

The first phase, which consists primarily of building the new span, will cost about $12 million and is anticipated to be finished by the end of October, weather permitting.

• INTERSTATE 90: Watch for lane closures and slower traffic as work continues on the Route 20 overpass.

• WESTERN BYPASS: Watch for workers and delays as

workers continue a $33 million project to build a two-mile, four-lane highway west of downtown Algonquin to relieve congestion on Route 31.

Algonquin Road between Main Street and Meyer Drive will be down to one lane through this fall. Watch for lane closures on Route 31/ Main Street. South Main Street has one lane closed between Edgewood and Huntington drives, and North Main Street has one lane closed between Cary-Algonquin Road and Linden Avenue.

Huntington Drive will remain closed between Circle Drive and South Main Street through summer 2014.

A detour to Edgewood Drive is posted.

• WALKUP ROAD: Work on the Walkup Road project is about 85 percent complete and is expected to be finished

by June.

The three-phase project widens and improves about 6 miles of Walkup Road between Bull Valley Road and Route 176.

• ROUTES 31 AND 176: Workers closed East Terra Cotta Avenue, east of the intersection, on April 16.

But watch it – work to remove pavement, installation of temporary traffic signals and storm sewer and water main work is scheduled to start this week.

HUNTLEY – Relay for Life of Huntley is scheduled from 6 p.m. June 14 through 6 a.m.

June 15 at the Huntley Park District’s Rec Center, 12015 Mill St. This is the American Cancer Society’s signature fundraising event where teams made up of friends, family and co-workers fundraise throughout the year and then come together to walk a track through the night.

In advance of the event, Relay for Life of Huntley has a Culver’s Night planned for

Instructor gives students last assignment • GRADUATION Continued from page B1 as they took their seats in the gym Saturday morning.

MCC President Vicky Smith congratulated the graduates and praised their instructors before turning the microphone over to Mary Beth Siddons, one of five inaugural recipients of the new Distinguished MCC Alumni Award. Siddons, a member of the MCC Class of 1983, is president of ITW Food Equipment Group in Troy, Ohio.

“Thirty years ago I received my associate’s degree at MCC, and I continue to be reminded of the foundation that was set right here,” she said.

The crowd also heard from student trustee Michele Lambert and student speaker Ryan McReynolds, as well as Lindsay Carson, a Spanish instructor who was named the 2013 outstanding full-time faculty member of the year. Carson told class members they had one more assignment.

“Begin to write your story,” she said. “Your reward will not come in the form of a letter grade … your reward will be found in the impact you make on others.”

Among those hearing her message was Robert Gibbons of Crystal Lake, who turned 21 on Saturday and received his associate’s degree in science.

Gibbons will attend the Uni-

Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

Candidates for graduation line the halls Saturday before the start of the 55th commencement ceremony at McHenry County College.

“Begin to write your story. Your reward will not come in the form of a letter grade … your reward will be found in the impact you make on others.”

Lindsay Carson, MCC Spanish instructor versity of Illinois at Springfield this fall.

“I met a lot of great people and made great friendships,” he said of attending MCC first.

“Plus, I’m not up to my elbows in debt.”

Courtney Plambeck of Crystal Lake received an as-

sociate’s degree in criminal justice. The 22-year-old embraced her grandfather John Marshall in the hallway after the ceremony.

“It’s quite an accomplishment,” Marshall said, reveling in the moment with Plambeck’s parents, Tony and

Andrea Plambeck.

Courtney Plambeck said MCC set her on a solid path.

She reserved special praise for instructor Harriet Johnson.

“She’s the one who made me want to take more classes,” Plambeck said. “I’d like to become a police officer.”

More families in need of PADS in past year • PADS Continued from page B1 to support McHenry County PADS, a division of the Pioneer Center that provides shelter and assistance for area homeless.

Saturday’s main event at Living Waters Lutheran Church in Crystal Lake had residents outside overnight, sleeping in tents, cardboard boxes and cars.

Similar events at locations such as Crystal Lake South High School and Hannah Beardsley Middle School helped Pioneer Center raise record donations for a PADS service that has seen increased demand since the economic recession hit.

“With the downturn in the economy being what it was, I think more people understand that everyday families are

The event is in its fourth year, and it’s the biggest fundraiser for PADS where participants are encouraged to sleep in shelters or tents. being affected by homelessness,” said Christin Kruse, chief development officer for the Pioneer Center.

In the past year, the cen-

ter saw a dramatic increase in groups needing PADS services, including a 20 percent increase in families seeking shelter and a 26 percent in-

crease in transitional youth.

More than 20 area schools, churches and community groups also helped raise donations for this year’s “SleepOut” event. It featured live music, cookouts, public speakers and a cardboard shelter-making contest.

The increased support from the community is needed for a service that lost roughly 30 percent of its funding this year because of discontinued local and state grants, Kruse said.

She credited the center’s many workers, who met with community groups throughout the year to express the importance of supporting PADS during tough economic times.

“This year, we are most excited about how many schools, how many church groups and how many community organizations are participating,” Kruse said.

Koch wants to build upon past successes • PRINCIPAL Continued from page B1 because of the combination of his experience as an English teacher at the high school and the strong relationships he has built with teachers districtwide.

“He’ll step in and provide the vision, but the actual work is done by our teachers,” Thomas said.

“It’s part of that team concept where we are focused on constantly working with each other.”

Koch is coming into the position with strategies on how to build off the 34th place finish among Illinois high schools. He said the school has focused on bolstering Advanced Placement courses, most recently with the addition of European studies, and he would look to expand that focus to cross-curricular literacy.

“Strong literacy skills are important regardless of the discipline of study,” he said. “It’s a buildingwide emphasis already, but I

want to build upon that.”

Thomas said Prairie Ridge has the opportunity to receive the same recognition as Cary-Grove High School, which made the Newsweek list for the second consecutive year at 32nd among state high schools and landed on a similar U.S. News & World Report list.

While the goal is for all district schools to succeed at that level, Thomas said the outside recognition is the result of the district’s own mission and expectations.

“Others will recognize that drive and determination we expect of our staff and students,” Thomas said. “That’s not the focus, though, that’s the result.”

Current Principal Paul Humpa will return to the classroom as a math teacher.

Thomas said that while he did not expect the move, he is glad to retain the institutional knowledge and professionalism Humpa provides.

‘Lift for Lisa’ benefit will include silent auction • BENEFIT Continued from page B1 the doctors have told Rehling that the early detection means she has a better chance at survival.

A mother and grandmother in her 50s, Rehling already has gone through two rounds of chemotherapy, with six more weeks of treatment left, Kube said.

Rehling had to stop working at Fair Oaks, and she often frequents the hospital for treatment.

Kube, her family and Rehling’s co-workers have organized a daylong benefit Saturday at the Professional Baseball Instruction of Illinois, 28039 NorthPointe Parkway, Lake Barrington.

“A Lift for Lisa” benefit features a kids’ fair in the afternoon and a four-hour silent auction in the evening. Children can enjoy

obstacle courses, carnival games and face painting, while the auction features live music and raffle prizes.

The items for auction include an iPhone 5, autographed memorabilia from NFL and college football teams, gift cards and gift baskets. Tickets for the allday benefit are $10 at the door.

Proceeds will go toward Rehling’s cancer treatment and daily living expenses.

The benefit marks a hectic month for Rehling’s family, who have placed more than 30 donation jars throughout businesses in the Crystal Lake area. People also can donate through the A Lift for Lisa website at www.aliftforlisa.com, or by visiting Cary Bank and Trust, 60 E. Main St., Cary.

“She’s always been taking care of everybody else, and now we have to take care of her,” Kube said.

After retirement, Ray enjoyed watching over his grandchildren every day. Ray and his wife returned to the country life.

“Miss Seagren” was known for going beyond the standard curriculum by cultivating interests such as stamp collecting and rock hounding.

She was fluent in Spanish, French and Latin and continued her lifelong love of language by ongoing study of others.

She was a quiet person who led a quiet retirement life in Monona, Wis., her home until 2006 when she moved to Crystal Lake.

She is survived by three sisters, Edna Seagren of Harvard, Eva (Bill) Brooke of California and Ellen “Kipp” (Richard) Smith of Harvard; many nieces and nephews; great-nieces and -nephews; great-great-nieces and -nephews; her good friend, Frances “Mick” McPherson of Nebraska; and her longtime caregivers, who became loved family members.

She was preceded in death by her parents; three brothers, William “Bill” Seagren, Sam Seagren and Richard “Dick” Seagren; two sisters, Eleanor (Charles) Bottlemy and Eloise (Ray) Firn; and her close friend, Lolas “Hal” Halverson.

In keeping with her wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service.

PR No. 1 doubles pair wins, leads Wolves to team title

By ROB SMITH rsmith@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Prairie Ridge’s Brad Henning and Bij Heydari erased some bad memories Saturday at the Fox Valley Conference boys tennis tournament at Crystal Lake Central.

The Wolves’ pair won the No. 1 doubles title and helped Prairie Ridge to a team championship with 102 points. Jacobs was second with 97 points followed by McHenry (82) and Cary-Grove (80).

6-4, win against McHenry’s Dennis Quitalig and Nick Higgin in the semifinals.

During the season, Henning and Heydari had lost to both those teams, with the loss to Jacobs, where they only won one game, being especially painful.

“They were embarrassed,” Wolves coach Naveed Heydari said of his team’s earlier loss to Sidor and Bernardo. “They had revenge on their mind.”

HARVARD – Delaney Pruitt had the best match of her life Saturday and the Johnsburg girls soccer team left the field with a plaque because of it.

It took the Johnsburg sophomore just one minute and 42 seconds to change the landscape of a tight, physical match when she scored two important goals in the second half.

The first tied the score and the second put the Skyhawks (11-6) Online up for good in a 3-2 victory over Watch highlights Richmond-Bur- of the Johnsburg ton in the Class vs. Richmond1A Harvard Re- Burton girls gional final.

Johnsburg will play Rockford Lutheran in the sectional semifinals Tuesday at Genoa-Kingston High School.

“It’s huge for these girls,” Skyhawks coach Rob Eastland said.

“They deserved it and have come through as champions.”

Johnsburg struck first on an Olivia Jansen goal off a feed from Pruitt in the third minute but Richmond-Burton bounced back. The Rockets (15-1-1) played with the wind at their backs in the first half and took a 2-1 lead into halftime behind two goals from Jessica Guenther.

Richmond-Burton ended Johnsburg’s season last year in the regional finals after jumping out to a big lead and it looked poised to do it again, but a quick series of events midway though the second half derailed a shot at a second straight regional title after the Rockets finished third at state last season.

With 25:41 showing on the clock, the field referee gave Rockets goalkeeper Hannah Koenig a yellow card for delay of game. By rule, Koenig had to be replaced by backup Annie Campbell for the next few minutes.

The Rockets coaches didn’t agree the call because Koenig couldn’t hear the referee over the gusting winds and coach Chris Wagner thought the yellow card was excessive.

BASEBALL: McHENRY 14, PRAIRIE RIDGE 8

Warriors bounce back from errors, overpower Wolves

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry played in the first inning against Prairie Ridge as if it was allergic to leather.

The Warriors had no such problem with metal.

McHenry overcame three first-in-

ning errors and five unearned runs with a 13-hit onslaught, led by right fielder Devon Gehrke’s two home runs, and defeated the Wolves, 148, in their Fox Valley Conference Valley Division baseball game Saturday.

“We just couldn’t get down [after the first],” Gehrke said. “We put our bats together and took it [to the

opposite field] and put the barrel on the ball in good situations. [Hitting] hasn’t been good lately. We haven’t been seeing the ball well and have been letting too many strikes go by.”

The Warriors (18-7 overall, 10-7 FVC Valley) had scored 33 runs in their previous nine games, with 12 of those coming Wednesday against

Richmond-Burton. They were 2-7 in those games.

McHenry took a 2-0 lead in the first inning when Gehrke led off with a home run and Jordan Witbeck later had an RBI single.

But the Wolves (19-9, 10-6) took advantage of three errors with Will Harvel’s grand slam and took a 5-2 lead.

“I went to the dugout thinking this might be one of those days again,” Warriors coach Brian Rockweiler said. “We kept telling the kids to keep battling and compete. We talked a lot about competing with two strikes. We did a lot better job today with two-strike hitting.”

NBA playoffs, conference semifinals, Game 4, San Antonio at Golden State, 2:30 p.m., ABC Golden State’s Stephen Curry is a game-time decision for the Warriors. The Warriors said X-rays on Curry’s ankle were negative and no MRI exam is scheduled in a series that Spurs lead, 2-1.

Sergio Garcia lost his lead in two holes at The Players Championship, and he said it didn’t help playing with Tiger Woods.

During the rain delay, Garcia provided a little more fuel to his rivalry with Woods by suggesting he caused the crowd to cheer as Garcia was playing a shot.

s expected, the Blackhawks had little trouble moving past the Minnesota Wild in the Western Conference quarterfinals.

Now, only 12 victories separate the Hawks from the Stanley Cup. Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss:

Musick: The Bulls’ playoff run has been a nice story, but I think we all know that will end soon. The Bears have more than two months to go until training camp begins.

And baseball in Chicago is, well, you know. So how long can the high-flying Hawks keep us entertained?

Styf: Things just got difficult.

And the travel will be a bear, so get ready for that. The road to the finals now involve going to California, probably twice. They could play a streaking Sharks team and then, most likely, a Ducks team that can give them fits. Don’t expect any other team to roll over like the Wild did.

Musick: That was Joel Quenneville’s mindset after the Hawks’ series-clinching win against the Wild, and he was right. He refused to do any cartwheels, which probably was best for everyone involved considering his age and lack of gymnastics experience.

Yet the Hawks were the best team during the regular season, and they gave us no reason to doubt them in Round 1, outscoring an overmatched Minnesota team, 17-7, during a lopsided series.

Styf: As a traditionalist and someone charged with sending you to the next series, here’s hoping the Red Wings do us a favor Sunday night. It’s a better rivalry, it’s a closer trip. It just makes more sense for the fans and the penny counters. It’s also a team I’m pretty confident the Blackhawks will beat.

I don’t feel so certain about any of those California teams.

Musick: I would be happy to spend a few days in Pure Michigan.

So would the Hawks. They won all four games against the Wings this season, and they are 12-2-2 in the 2010s (is that what we’re calling this decade?) after losing the 1990s and 2000s. Granted, the Hawks also went 3-0 against the Sharks this season, but San Jose would be a tougher matchup as the more physical team.

Musick: This is going to sound weird, but I think all Hawks fans should cheer like crazy for the Wings to win their Game 7. As a species, ducks seem OK (I too like bread), but as a team, the Ducks match up really well against the Hawks. For whatever it’s worth, I see the Hawks advancing past the next round, and if they don’t have to face the Ducks, I see them advancing to the Stanley Cup Final.

As far as how they might match up against the champion of the Eastern Conference, I have no idea.

That’s anyone’s guess.

Crystal Lake native Joe Affrunti is a PGA Tour player currently working his way back from shoulder surgery on the Web.com Tour. Affrunti is currently 119th on the money list, winning $8,472 in six events this year. Affrunti, who has a major medical exemption, hopes to begin playing the 13 PGA Tour events he is guaranteed after earning his tour card in 2010 before missing 18 months with his shoulder injury. Last week, Affrunti earned a spot in a U.S. Open sectional qualifier after shooting 70 at a local event in Orlando, Fla. Among the more interesting tidbits on his PGA Tour bio is that Affrunti has a shoe fetish, although he insists it was a matter of mistaken word usage.

Unless you’ve been out there, people have no idea – they have no idea how much of a grind it is out there.

The Tour players that the regular public watches, they know a Tiger [Woods], they know a Ernie Els, they know Luke Donald and they’ve played, for the most part, great their whole career. They never really truly had to struggle. A struggling year for Luke Donald means he’s only Top 50 on the money list instead of Top 10. But for 85 percent of players on the Tour, they come up through the ranks, they’ve had to struggle on the minitours and get through some humps on the road. By far, it’s not all the glitz and glamour, but when you get out there, it’s worth every ounce of energy you spent on the minitour and on the Web.com Tour and everything you sacrificed. It’s worth every second of it.

[Being injured] is definitely frustrating because you get on a run, you’re playing for a good two-year stretch from minitours to the Nationwide Tour and I get my card through Nationwide and I get out on the big tour. Injuries have definitely been an issue in my career, but at the same time, I do kind of see the big picture and maybe things do happen for a reason. It kind of makes you a little tougher and makes you realize how nice it is to play a sport for a living and you don’t take it for granted when you are out there.

With having such a good run there, you kind of realize how much work it took to get there. It’s a lot of hard work. I thought I would get it back a little quicker and I showed strides of some good golf this winter a little bit at the start of the year, but the consistency part – I’m super close – but it’s totally not there like it was two years ago. So that part of it, you just have to get down and keep grinding and keep working to get it back. So that was a little bit of an eye-opener with how difficult it is and how hard I have to work to get back there.

People are like, ‘You have a shoe fetish?’ A fetish, is, uh, not exactly the correct word. I’m just a real fashion-oriented guy. I make sure everything looks good. I usually match my shoes with my belt and so I’m always looking sharp on the course. Guys on tour – they know that I like to look good when I’m out there, but off the course, I like to be put together. I feel like it’s a representation of the person you are. People are just out watching you play on tour and they don’t truly know you so it’s one way of getting your personality out.

ANGELS 3, WHITE SOX 2

Sox don’t get the message Club commits three errors, leaves six base runners stranded CHICAGO – White Sox manager Robin Ventura had seen enough.

Ventura has never been one to call many meetings during two seasons with the Sox, but with his team sitting in last place in the American League Central – largely because of sloppy defense and lack of execution at the plate – he held a team meeting before Saturday’s game against the Angels.

“It’s just at a point where I needed to say some stuff and I did,” Ventura said.

Ventura’s message didn’t make a difference, at least not Saturday. The Sox (14-20) committed three errors and left six runners on base in a 3-2 loss to the Angels.

“It wasn’t like jumping us like crazy, but it also wasn’t the old upbeat positive one,” Konerko said of the meeting.

“It was probably somewhere in the middle. Sometimes meetings like that, it doesn’t come out right away, it takes a few days. It’s kind of a delayed effect.”

In a showdown between the two worst defensive teams in the American League, the Sox’s defensive miscues ultimately cost them the game. Second baseman Tyler Greene threw away a routine grounder, rushing his throw to first as Josh Hamilton ran down the line. Instead of recording

SOX INSIDER Meghan Montemurro the final out of the third, Greene’s error set up the game-winning run. Albert Pujols advanced to third on the play and scored four pitches later on catcher Tyler Flowers’ passed ball to give the Angels a 3-2 lead.

The Sox’s mistakes haven’t been limited to just one player. Center fielder Alejandro De Aza picked up his fourth error of the season in the first when he mishandled Hamilton’s hit while Adam Dunn, starting at first base, dropped a pop up in shallow right field, although he recovered to throw out Pujols at first when he went too far rounding the base.

“This year it’s been the mistakes we make, the hits we don’t get, it’s coming from a place of trying too hard,” Konerko said. “ … If we weren’t going about it right, there would be issues there. It’s just not the case.”

Ventura classified most of the Sox’s errors as physical, not mental, mistakes.

But that doesn’t justify the Sox’s five errors in two games against the Angels.

Saturday’s three-error performance was their seventh multiple error game of the

ANGELS 3, WHITE SOX 2 Tipping point: An unearned run in the third inning derailed the White Sox for their fourth loss in six games. The Angels needed only six pitches to jump to a 2-0 lead in the first inning on Mike Trout’s two-run homer off Sox starter Jose Quintana. The Sox made three errors in the loss.

On the mound: Quintana did what he needed to do to put the Sox in a position to win. The left-hander threw a career-high 117 pitches in six innings and held the Angels to three runs (two earned) on five hits in his quality start. Quintana struck out five batters while walking one.

At the plate: Dayan Viciedo isn’t displaying any rust after spending 15 days on the disabled list with an oblique strain. Viciedo went 3 for 3 with a walk and run scored in the loss. Adam Dunn’s batting average dropped to .137 after he struck out three times in four at-bats and went hitless. Alejandro De Aza and Tyler Flowers drove in the Sox’s only runs.

Under the radar: Of the Sox’s 34 games this season, 29 have been decided by three runs or less. The Sox are 7-9 in one-run games after Saturday’s loss to the Angels. season and their second game with at least three.

“Those are things I don’t control,” starting pitcher Jose Quintana said through a translator. “I’m sure my teammates didn’t want to make a mistake.”

Through 34 games, the Sox’s 27 errors tie them with the Angels for most in the AL and fourth in the majors.

The Sox didn’t commit their 27th error until June 8 last season.

“Physical stuff you get, but you know it’s just one of those that you do have to do it better,” Ventura said. “It’s that simple.”

At this point, the Sox can only hope they break out of their funk. They’re 32

games back – of fourth-place Minnesota. The Sox haven’t given any indications this team is capable of competing for a playoff spot.

“I feel if we just keep going at it the right way, it’s got to come out,” Konerko said. “You’ve got to believe that. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that, but as a player I’ve seen it happen a lot.”

By HOWARD FENDRICH

CHICAGO – The White Sox signed infielder Jeff Keppinger during the offseason with the hope his plate discipline would create plenty of opportunities for him to reach base.

It hasn’t worked out that way thus far. Keppinger has yet to draw a walk in 28 games (121 plate appearances) while hitting below .200.

Manager Robin Ventura finally dropped Keppinger to the bottom half of the Sox’s lineup in order to try and get him going offensively. Keppinger hit seventh for the first time this season, though he was originally slated to bat eighth but was bumped up a spot when Conor Gillaspie was scratched from the lineup because of an upper respiratory issue caused by allergies.

Before Saturday’s game against the Angels, Kepping-

er hit in the No. 2 spot in all but one of his starts. Keppinger, who went 1 for 4 in the Sox’s 3-2 loss to the Angels, loaded the bases in the Sox’s two-run second with a single, the third of the inning.

“You know what the track record is and you are trying to get it out of him,” Ventura said. “He fits in a lot of different spots in the lineup with the way he can handle the bat. So, hopefully there will be some guys on and he can knock in some runs.”

Beckham progressing: Second baseman Gordon Beckham believes he is only a few weeks away from returning

to the Sox’s lineup.

Beckham, who had surgery April 16 to fix his fractured left hamate bone, hit off a tee Saturday for the second consecutive day with plans to hit soft toss beginning Monday and participate in batting practice by the end of the week. Beckham said he was concerned his wrist and hand would be sore when he woke up Saturday, but everything felt good. Beckham projected his first rehab assignment would come May 20, possibly sooner.

“I’m out there running, doing stuff baseball related and taking ground balls – the only thing that I haven’t gotten is game situation,” Beckham said. “It’s been a pretty long layoff, but at the same time, I’ve been at pretty much every game so I’ve been watching the game. It’s just a matter of my body reacting to a game.”

However Beckham, who was hitting .316 in seven

games before his injury, isn’t convinced his return as well as starting pitcher John Danks’ will be enough to fix the Sox’s problems.

Danks (left shoulder) is on track to rejoin the Sox’s rotation within the next couple weeks.

“I think we’re going to help, but it’s deeper than just one player, two players,” Beckham said. “We’ve got to play better baseball. At the end of the day, I think everybody knows that.”

Quick hits: Reliever Jesse Crain extended his scoreless game streak to 13 games (121/3 innings) with two innings of one-hit ball and three strikeouts in relief Saturday against the Angels. … Danks makes another rehab start today with Triple-A Charlotte against Pawtucket. He has been on the disabled list since March 22. In two rehab starts, Danks has allowed four runs on nine hits in 12 innings pitched.

WASHINGTON – A day before facing each other as opposing starting pitchers, Edwin Jackson and Stephen Strasburg spent some time chatting as former teammates.

“Told him I’d be ready for the gas he’s throwing,” Jackson recounted.

Easy to joke around after the way Jackson finally picked up his first win of 2013 – and first win under the $52 million, fouryear contract that took him from the Washington Nationals to the Cubs.

Jackson retired 12 of Washington’s first 13 batters while pitching into the sixth inning Saturday, and hit a two-run double off Strasburg for good measure, leading the Cubs to an 8-2 victory Next for that ended the the Cubs Nationals’ fivegame winning Cubs at streak.

Washington, The game was scoreless with 12:35 p.m. two outs in the Sunday, WGN, fifth when one of AM-720 Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman’s two errors gave the Cubs a base runner.

Strasburg followed with his first walk, to No. 8 hitter Darwin Barney, he of the .160 batting average. Then up came Jackson, 0 for 10 at the plate with zero RBIs this season until that point.

“If Strasburg punches him out there,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said, “it’s a whole different ballgame.”

But with the count full, Jackson delivered his double to right-center to make it 2-0.

“I figured he was going to try and come at me because he doesn’t want to walk a pitcher,” said Jackson (1-5), who gave up two runs over 51/3 innings.

“I just got a pitch that I could drive.”

Unraveling en route to dropping a fifth consecutive decision, Strasburg (1-5) walked another batter and gave up Starlin Castro’s single to load the bases.

Anthony Rizzo grounded a single up the middle, the ball bounding into center to score two more runs. Instead of backing up home plate on the play, Strasburg ambled around on the infield grass and looked into the dugout.

All four runs were unearned, and Strasburg’s ERA actually dipped to 3.10.

David DeJesus’ two-run single was the highlight as the Cubs scored four more in the sixth against reliever Zach Duke. Washington’s lone lefty in the bullpen got only two outs and gave up four hits and a wild pitch. He also hit a batter.

Sveum thought Jackson’s performance dipped because he sat in the dugout during the long top of the fifth and sixth, while the Cubs were scoring all of their runs.

Despite the previous lopsided loss, Bij Heydari said they entered the finals encouraged by the win against McHenry.

“I think this time we had confidence,” he said. “It was nice to get another shot at it.”

That confidence was buoyed when Sidor and Bernardo had some unforced errors early in the match.

“We got a lead at the beginning and used that momentum the rest of the match,” Henning said.

The match was also important from a team perspective with Prairie Ridge and Jacobs battling for the team title. It was the Wolves’ consistency that was the difference, taking three firsts, two seconds, a third and a fifth place finish.

“We were both thinking this is for our team,” Bij Heydari said. “All of them did their part.”

Hampshire’s Elisha Hougland also had redemption on his mind in the No. 1 singles championship match against Jacobs Kailash Panchapakesan. Hougland had lost in straight sets to Panchapakesan during the season.

“He said that Hannah was holding the ball too long and warned her three times,” Wagner said recalling the conversation with the referee. “He didn’t get an acknowledgment from her because she couldn’t hear him in the wind and then he pulled the yellow card.”

Shortly after play resumed, the Rockets were called for a handball in the goal box.

On the resulting penalty kick, Pruitt tied the score at 2, placing it past Campbell and starting a huge momentum swing.

“I was thinking just not to miss and just relax,” Pruitt said. “I was just the slightest bit nervous, but I

Prairie Ridge’s Bij Heydari hits a return during the Fox Valley Conference tennis meet Saturday at Crystal Lake Central.

The title match was a marathon with Hougland winning 6-4, 5-7, 7-5. Hougland said he was a little discouraged needing to go three sets after winning the first, but knew he had to press on.

“I was tired,” Hougland said. “I’m going to put all my energy into this set.”

Hougland said he was a lot more consistent in this match and had a stronger serve.

“My serve was doing a lot better,” Hougland said. “I think that’s what clinched it.”

The win also was important looking ahead to section-

als next weekend where Hougland should get one of the top seeds at the Elgin Sectional.

“It’s a big help,” Whip-Purs coach Jon Betts said. “Having a win like this will give us a better chance for a 1-2 seed.”

Also winning championships for Prairie Ridge were Jack Lamar and Danny Van Bosch at No. 2 doubles and Mitch Mohr and Ross Carpenter at No. 4 doubles.

Jacobs won three titles – Kendrick Chong at No. 2 singles, Riley Rowan at No. 3 singles and Kyle Powell and Matt Toomire at No. 3 doubles.

With the score tied and the wind at Johnsburg’s back, the Skyhawks continued to apply pressure offensively and Pruitt was able to break through for her second goal in the 55th minute.

It proved to be the regional title winner. “[Pruitt] has been unbelievable all season,” East-

PR’s Getzelman to return Monday against Cary-Grove said. “It was really good for us to get back on track. It’s always good to get two hits in an inning.”

The 14-run outburst came less than 24 hours after Wolves right-hander Steven Ladd fired a 10-strikeout two-hitter at the Warriors in a 3-0 Prairie Ridge victory. Three of McHenry’s runs Saturday were unearned, but Wolves coach Glen Pecoraro thought his team could have fielded much better.

ro said. “We had great clean games with [Crystal Lake] South and Jacobs. We played clean last night, but today, not so much. We have to take care of the ball on defense, and we have to pitch better.”

land said. “Her and Allie [Layton] up front have torn some team’s defenses to shreds this season, and she stepped up in a pressure moment and delivered.”

With the 3-2 lead and 25 minutes remaining, the Skyhawks main focus shifted to stopping the Rockets and their explosive offense that put up eight goals in the first half against North Boone on Monday in the regional semifinal.

Johnsburg keyed on dynamic players such as Halley Havlicek and Guenther.

“It was tough getting back and forth running with Halley, but I knew I could do it,” said Skyhawks defender Kortnee Hass who marked Havlicek throughout the match. “I know my coach trusted me to shut her down, so I was mentally prepared.”

EASTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS: BULLS-HEAT

Bosh outduels Boozer

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Welcome to the Eastern Conference semifinals, Chris Bosh and Carlos Boozer.

All but absent the first two games, the big men for Miami and the Bulls asserted themselves in a big way in Game 3 on Friday night.

Bosh scored 20 points and hauled in 19 rebounds to help the Heat beat the Bulls, 104-94.

Boozer wasn’t bad, either, with 21 points for the Bulls, but it was Miami coming away with a 2-1 lead in the series. Game 4 is Monday at the United Center.

A big reason the Heat won Friday was Bosh stepping up on a night when the other “Big Three” struggled. LeBron James was off target for most of the game before coming on strong down the stretch to finish with 25 points and Dwyane Wade was a nonfactor.

Bosh, however, got going early on. He knocked down shots from the baseline and top of the key. He hit a 3-pointer, too. But he was also active on the glass, finishing one rebound shy of the Heat’s postseason record. It was the sort of performance Miami envisioned seeing on a more regular basis when it formed that superstar triumvirate back in the summer of 2010.

“I try to move around as

Bulls power forward Carlos Boozer shoots over Miami Heat center Chris Bosh during the first half of Game 3 of an NBA Eastern Conference semifinal Friday at the United Center. much as possible,” he said.

“Dwyane and LeBron, they’re very unselfish basketball players. They’re going to be making a lot of plays for us and Mario [Chalmers] as well. I try to mix it up a lot. I try to space. I try to dive. I try to get behind the defense to get easy buckets, but if I move to the open spot, usually they find me. Those are my opportunities to be aggressive.”

That aggression has been questioned.

He tends to fade at times, blend in rather than assert himself. It was that way in the

first two games of this series, when he scored nine and then 13 points, but it was a different story for him on Friday.

Same for Boozer.

“There’s a lot of different ways he can score – running the floor, going to the offensive boards, ducking in, facing up,” coach Tom Thibodeau said. “I thought he did a combination of all those things. I thought that got him into a rhythm.”

He clearly had his best game of the series and was involved from the start after scoring a total of 14 points in the first two.

NBA PLAYOFF ROUNDUP

Grizzlies beat Thunder, take 2-1 lead The ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Marc Gasol scored 20 points and hit two free throws with 1:03 left to put Memphis ahead to stay, and the Grizzlies held off the Oklahoma City Thunder, 87-81, Saturday to take a 2-1 lead in this Western Conference semifinal.

Gasol scored 16 in the sec-

ond half as Memphis remained unbeaten at home in the postseason.

The Grizzlies pulled out the win in an ugly performance for both teams after a three-day layoff since Game 2.

Pacers 82, Knicks 71: At Indianapolis, Roy Hibbert had 24 points and 12 rebounds and Paul George had 14 points, eight rebounds and eight assist

to lead the Pacers past New York in Game of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The Pacers lead the series, 2-1.

Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points to lead the Knicks, who led only once in the game for a total of 76 seconds. New York spent the final 45 minutes trying to play catch-up but never did.

Home building worker shortage

“We have some very strong and highly talented leaders.

But we’ll never have enough.”

Don’t put wants ahead of needs

Suzanne Hoban, executive director of Family Health Partnership Clinic in Woodstock

Dear Dave, Can you please define “necessities” in today’s world while trying to get out of debt and live on a budget?

By ALEX VEIGA

– Matthew

AP Real Estate Writer

Dear Matthew, Whether you’re talking about the world today or 50 years ago, necessities haven’t changed. Necessities are still food, shelter, clothing, transportation and utilities. We’re talking about needs versus wants.

The problem is that many people were never taught that there’s a difference between the two – a big difference.

Most people have enough food to eat and a decent place to live. Those are necessities. I’m not talking about eating out or having a big, fancy house. Those are wants. Most people also have enough clothes in the closet and a way to get around town. They may not have designer clothes or a fancy foreign sports car, but again, those are wants, not needs. Keeping the lights on and the house warm in winter and cool during the summer? Utilities are a need. But no one needs a $300 superdeluxe cable television package.

Now, there are some important wants. I want you to have life insurance to protect your family. I also want you to have a will and health insurance. I want you to have some other nice things, too, like a better car or a nicer house. There’s nothing wrong, at some point, with having a few toys or eating at a good restaurant once in a while. But again, these things are wants, not needs.

There’s nothing wrong with having a few wants, but you should define them correctly – and never, ever put them ahead of your needs!

– Dave

Dear Dave, I’d like to start investing in mutual funds, but I have no idea how they work. Could you explain about them please?

– Jennifer

Dear Jennifer, Simply put, a mutual fund – if it’s a stock mutual fund – is a group of 90–200 stocks. If it’s a growth stock mutual fund, then it’s a group of 90–200 growth stocks. Analysts buy the stocks they think will increase in price and sell the stocks they feel will go down in price. When the analysts buy growth stocks, it turns it into a growth stock mutual fund. If they buy bonds instead, it becomes a bond mutual fund. Several people put money into these groups, and that’s where you get the name “mutual fund.” They’re mutually funded.

These types of investments are much safer than single stock investing because your money is spread across several different stocks. Plus, you’ve got people who know what they’re doing picking the stocks. My advice would be to take a hard look at mutual funds that have been out there for 10 to 20 years and have a good track record for a long period of time.

Steve Otten, executive director of United Way of Greater McHenry County, poses for a portrait in his McHenry office Wednesday.

“This job is not for everybody,” Otten said. “You have to be willing to give it everything for less than you think you’re worth.” Otten has been in his position since June 2012.

Leaders wanted Nonprofits face challenge in filling top spots

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Local nonprofits could face growing recruitment challenges as the economy improves and Baby Boomers retire.

This comes as social service agencies and charity organizations are serving more people than ever on smaller budgets.

Some McHenry County nonprofit groups have struggled in recent years to fill top leadership positions. It took the McHenry County Community Foundation 21 months to find an executive director after its previous leader was let go in January 2011. In the interim, a board member filled the position.

Other agencies have opted to hire executives from outside the area, including from other states. Last year, for example, Pioneer Center for Human Services brought president and CEO Patrick Maynard in from Cincinnati.

A shortage of funding for leadership training combined with higher expectations for executives and tight budgets that limit compensation may be partly responsible for some of the nonprofit community’s

Robin Doeden in her Woodstock office. Doeden was named CEO of the McHenry County Community Foundation last October. leadership challenges.

Local service organizations would benefit from having more qualified executives, but the area doesn’t have a significant brain drain or talent drought, said Suzanne Hoban, executive director of Family Health Partnership Clinic in Woodstock.

Their “Free” Checking

“We have some very strong and highly talented leaders,” said Hoban, who has been instrumental in the county’s nonprofit community for many years.

“But we’ll never have enough.”

Several area nonprofits are seeking candidates for senior management

positions, including the Friends of McHenry County College Foundation and the Raue Center for the Arts.

Growth in employment and wages in the nonprofit sector has outpaced the business and government sectors since 2008, according to a 2012 study from the Urban Institute. As the government and for-profit businesses and corporations shed jobs due to the recession and financial crisis, some workers migrated to the nonprofit industry.

Retaining those employees could become more difficult in the future, according to the 2013 Nonprofit Employment Trends Survey by Nonprofit HR Solutions, a human resources firm with offices in Washington, D.C., and Chicago. “[Nonprofits] will face challenges ahead with the sector predicting a slow rise in turnover rates in the coming years as the economy improves,” the survey concluded. “Individual nonprofit organizations, and the sector as a whole, may begin to lose highly skilled and experienced employees in the years ahead.”

The resurgent U.S. housing market has sent builders calling again for Richard Vap, who owns a drywall installation company. Vap would love to help — if he could hire enough qualified people.

“There is a shortage of manpower,” says Vap, owner of South Valley Drywall in Littleton, Colo. “We’re probably only hiring about 75 or 80 percent of what we actually need.”

U.S. builders and the subcontractors they depend on are struggling to hire fast enough to meet rising demand for new homes. Builders would be starting work on more homes – and contributing more to the economy – if they could fill more job openings.

In the meantime, workers in the right locations with the right skills are commanding higher pay.

The shortage of labor ranges across occupations – from construction superintendents and purchasing agents to painters, cabinet makers and drywall installers. The National Association of Home Builders says its members have complained of too few framers, roofers, plumbers and carpenters. The shortage is most acute in areas where demand for new homes has recovered fastest, notably in Arizona, California, Texas, Colorado and Florida.

The problem results largely from an exodus of workers from the industry after the housing bubble burst. Experienced construction workers lost jobs.

And many found new work – in commercial building or in booming and sometimes higher-paying industries like mining and natural gas drilling – and aren’t eager to come back.

Hispanic immigrants, largely from Mexico, who had filled jobs during the boom were among those who left the industry and, in some cases, the United States.

Dave Erickson, president of Greyhawk Homes in Columbus, Ga., lost an employee who took a job this year in Texas. The former employee is now installing fiber-optic cable and earning 30 percent more than he did as a construction supervisor.

“I think he’s frustrated with the cycle we went through in recent years,” Erickson says.

Have high expectations of your introverts Anne’s story: I remember it so well. The meeting took place more than 20 years ago, but it’s colored by that emotional resonance that makes distant events feel like they just occurred.

I had started my first business a year before that National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) meeting in the Chicago Loop. I knew it was time to start networking, to meet other business owners. There was so much to learn – about sales, about the kinds of business services I needed, and about how to run a successful business. I thought that getting together with other women who were also business owners might be easier for me since I had never been to such an event.

By the time I walked in, dozens of women were already gathered.

This is my perception of that first meeting: Everyone was dressed like a Fortune 500 executive. Everyone had obviously just freshened their flawless makeup. And, of course, everyone was already fully engaged

in a group, talking and laughing. I felt like a donkey wandering into a stable of Arabian stallions.

Believe it or not, I joined NAWBO that evening and I kept going to the monthly meetings. For the first several months, I had to steel myself to walk into that room filled with so many perfect specimens of the female business world. Eventually, I realized I wasn’t the lone outsider. There was always someone new or someone who, like me, braved a couple of evenings each month to make and keep connections for her business. I met women at NAWBO who I did business with for years. It got easier.

Bob has had similar experiences.

We both tend more toward the introverted end of the introversion/ extroversion continuum. During a seven-hour drive last year, we listened together to the audiobook version of Susan Cain’s 2012 book, “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking.”

One of the facts Susan reported surprised us. Depending on how

MANAGEMENT Bob Sandidge & Anne Ward you measure, one-third to one-half of our population is introverted.

We assumed the number was much smaller – but then we thought about all of the times people told us they were surprised that we considered ourselves to be introverts.

Cain wrote an entire chapter about what she calls pseudo-extroversion: people who appear more extroverted in areas of their lives that demand they show up socially, such as working with people in an office, at conferences, or networking events. That brought Anne back to her NAWBO experiences. By the end of that first year, she looked more extroverted in the group. The more comfortable we are, the more extroverted we appear.

Through the years, we’ve learned skills that allow us to feel more

comfortable and to reach out to others who could use a bit of comfort in large gatherings with new people.

One really good conversation is worth more than 100 business cards.

And yet, we still require a good bit of quiet time after such events because introverts expend so much energy just being in social situations, even when they’re enjoyable and productive.

We’d like to offer our fellow business friends a few tips to help make your business environment work better for the introverts in your company so they can work better for you: • In meetings, get thoughts and input from everyone, not just those who tend to speak first, loudest, or most often. Introverts need time to think. Sending an agenda in advance allows them to gather information and ideas.

• When you’re facilitating a larger group, have people write down their answers to important questions before they start talking in groups. This allows introverts to

explore their thoughts without the overwhelming energy of so many people talking.

• Design a mix of open/social spaces along with private/solo spaces for people to do different types of work. A smaller, more intimate space often allows introverts more thinking space for one-to-one conversations or smaller meetings.

• Have high expectations of your introverts: assume that everyone has at least one superpower. Help people find and develop their powers, and you’ll reap the benefits.

‘Judge’ Buehler’s Grocery Store in Crystal Lake This photo, taken in about 1906, shows the grocery store of John “Judge” Buehler on the corner of McHenry Avenue and Virginia Street in Crystal Lake. It was known at the time as “Buehler’s Corner.”

Buehler was born in 1851 in Germany. He was orphaned at age 10 by the death of his parents and apprenticed to a shoemaker. At age 17 he set out for America. He lived in New York, Chicago, and Algonquin and finally settled in Crystal Lake in about 1870. He opened a small grocery business, and then gradually expanded into a general merchandise and hardware operation.

In 1889 he added an insurance business and in 1900 a real estate operation.

He remained at that location many years.

Although having little formal education himself, he was very active in promoting civic and education advancement. He served on the town board for 15 years, was Justice of the Peace for 30 years (earning the name “Judge”), helped in the building of three new schoolhouses and organized the first German language Sunday School.

John Buehler died in 1927.

8WALL STREET WEEK IN REVIEW

Stocks increase for third week in a row The Associated Press NEW YORK – The stock market closed out its third straight week of gains, led by small-company stocks.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 35 points to 15,118 points Friday, a gain of 0.2 percent. The Dow rose 1 percent for the week and 15 percent so far this year.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 rose seven points to 1,633, or 0.4 percent. The Nasdaq rose 27 points to 3,436, or 0.8 percent.

Small-company stocks rose even more than the rest of the market.

The Russell 2000 rose nine points, or 0.9 percent, to 975.

Its weekly gain of 2.2 percent is twice as much as the Dow and S&P 500.

Two stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was light at 3 billion shares.

The gains in the stock market were broad. Nine of the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 index were higher. Health care stocks rose the most, 1.1 percent.

Dow stocks were held back by falling commodity prices.

Exxon Mobil, Caterpillar and Alcoa – Dow members whose fortunes are tied to the prices of crude oil and other basic materials – closed down 1 percent or more.

The price of commodities including crude oil and gold fell sharply as the dollar strengthened against other currencies, especially the Japanese yen. When the dollar rises against other currencies, it tends to weaken demand for commodities. Since commodities are priced in dollars, buyers using other currencies get less for their money when the dollar appreciates, and they respond by buying less.

Prices for crude oil and gold fell. Crude fell 35 cents to $96.04 a barrel in New York, a loss of 0.4 percent. Gold fell $32 to $1,436 an ounce, or 2.2 percent.

Stocks have benefited from record-high corporate profits.

Nearly all companies in the S&P 500 have reported first

quarter earnings. The average net income for companies in the index is expected to rise 5 percent, according to S&P Capital IQ, a research firm.

“The talk at the end of April was company earnings are slowing” and investors might sell, said Gary Flam, who manages stock portfolios at Bel Air Investment Advisors. “But clearly that’s not been the case in the first ten days.”

The S&P rose every day since the beginning of the month until Thursday, when it fell six points. On Friday it closed up 7.03 points at 1,633.70, an increase of 0.4 percent.

Flam speculates that stocks are rising partly because investors have shifted from fear to greed.

“The last few years, risk was defined as losing money,” he said. “The last few months, it’s been defined as not making money.”

Among stocks in the news: • Priceline.com and chip maker Nvidia both rose about 4 percent after reporting higher earnings. Priceline jumped $27.91 to $765 and Nvidia was up 63 cents to $14.54.

• Clothing store chain Gap rose after reporting higher sales in April and predicting first-quarter earnings that were higher than financial analysts expected. Gap rose $2.18 to $40.99, or 5.6 percent.

• True Religion Apparel, known for high-priced jeans, rose $2.38, or 8 percent, to $31.82 after announcing it had agreed to a buyout offer of about $826 million from the investment management firm TowerBrook Capital Partners LP. • Dell climbed after activist investor Carl Icahn and another big investor fighting founder Michael Dell’s offer to take the company private launched another broadside against the plan. In a letter to Dell’s board, they proposed a deal that would keep the company public and pay shareholders cash or stock worth $12 a share. Dell rose 13 cents, or 1 percent, to $13.45 per share.

Good neighbors shop local On Thursday, the Woodstock chamber will host the city of Woodstock’s annual State of the City address to chamber members. This address is an event that is highly anticipated and this year’s luncheon is no exception. Woodstock’s new City Manager Roscoe Stelford and Mayor Brian Sager will report on the state of Woodstock.

While the city of Woodstock has done an outstanding job of presenting an annual balanced budget and shown fiscal responsibility in adhering to those budget constraints, the state of Illinois has not done so well. Increased frustration over a lack of a plan addressing the state’s fiscal woes has generated additional chatter among small business owners.

We all have our opinion as to how we got where we are and what needs to be done to correct it. Perhaps the one group that is most vulnerable to the decisions being made and their overall impact are the small business owners. The chamber’s membership is made up of mostly small businesses that have five or fewer employees. For these business owners, customers are the lifeblood of their businesses. Without a customer base there is little to no hope on their ability to thrive and/or survive.

The impact of losing just one busi-

CHAMBER NEWS Shari Gray ness can create a snowball effect in many facets of life in Woodstock. It affects our local tax dollars, jobs, commerce, housing and schools. If you frequent a local business and it goes under, it may cause you to seek a like business or service outside of the area. Now you’re supporting the commerce of a community that’s not your own. This also means the loss of employment and revenue to a household in Woodstock.

With the loss of income comes the possibility of moving to where the jobs are.

Again, this results in dollars leaving our community.

The Woodstock Chamber of Commerce & Industry supports a pledge of “Shop Local First.” This is more than a matter of civic pride; it’s a fiscal responsibility to the betterment of the Woodstock community.

Think of it as a best-case scenario of the trickle-down effect. You dine at a local restaurant, your money goes to support the locally owned establishment.

Not only that, but the locally based wait staff, kitchen staff and management all

• LEADERS Continued from page D1 Demand for nonprofit services has been on the rise since the recession, but declines in donations and government funding have put additional pressures on many organizations. The nonprofit sector has long been at a disadvantage in attracting top talent, largely because it has been unable to match the pay available to leaders in business and government.

“Nonprofits remain focused on doing the most good so they want the best and brightest, but it’s difficult because they don’t have the budgets and resources,” said Lindsay Nichols, a spokeswoman for GuideStar, an organization that provides information on the nonprofit industry.

Nearly a third of the organizations surveyed by Nonprofit HR Solutions cited an inability to pay competitive salaries as their top obstacle to retaining employees.

“Compensation is a really big factor when it comes to finding qualified candidates,” said Robyn Ostrem, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County.

While the county has an “incredible talent pool,” Ostrem said it can be a struggle to connect the right people with the right organizations.

The expectations for nonprofit leaders has changed significantly in recent decades. Executives must be passionate about an agency’s mission and possess

They also need to be more transparent about nonprofit finance.

“Every aspect of nonprofit leadership has changed in the last 15 years,” said Robin Doeden, executive director of McHenry County Community Foundation.

Nonprofit leaders are expected to be

• SHORTAGE Continued from page D1 A shortage of labor in a well-paying industry might seem incongruous in an economy stuck with a still-high 7.5 percent unemployment rate. But it reflects just how many former skilled construction workers have moved on to other fields.

In 2006, when the boom peaked, 3.4 million people worked in homebuilding. By 2011, the figure had bottomed at about 2 million. As of last month, about 2.1 million people were employed in residential construction.

Jobs in the industry did rise 4.1 percent in April from a year earlier, faster than overall U.S. job growth. But they’d have to surge 24 percent more to reach 2.6 million, their 2002 level — “the last time the market was normal,” says David Crowe, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders.

For now, the industry is building faster than it’s hiring. In February, builders began work on single-family homes at the fastest pace in five years.

And in March, new home construction broke the 1 million mark for the first time since June 2008. Permits for future construction are also near a five-year high.

In the 12 months that ended in March, housing starts surged 47 percent. Yet over the same period, the industry’s employment grew just 3.7 percent.

Normally, a rebound in home construction helps propel an economy after a recession. But even with the steady gains in housing starts, sales and prices since last year, the industry remains below levels considered healthy.

The National Association of Home Builders says nearly half its members who responded to a survey in March said a scarcity of labor has led to delays in completing work. Fifteen percent have had to turn down some projects.

“I can’t find qualified people to fill the positions that I have open,” says Vishaal Gupta, president of Park Square Homes in Orlando, Fla. If not for the labor shortage, “I would be able to build more homes this year and meet more demand

AP photo

Richard Vap, owner of South Valley Drywall, poses for a photo at a home construction site with one of his crews working in the background in Lakewood, Colo. The resurgent U.S. housing market has sent builders calling again for Vap, but Vap says he is having trouble hiring enough qualified people. than I can handle today.”

Gupta’s company is facing a side effect of the labor shortage: Demand for higher pay from qualified workers. On some occasions, he says he’s been outbid by rivals that need contractors for their own projects. Gupta’s preferred paint contractor left for a rival that paid more.

His new cabinet contractor is about 10 percent more expensive than the one Gupta used before.

The higher pay they’re handing out helps explain why builders have been gradually raising prices on new homes. The median price was $247,000 in March, up about 12 percent from the same month in 2011, the Commerce Department says.

The industry may have to look more aggressively for workers at vocational schools, federally funded programs like Job Corps and elsewhere, says Crowe of the homebuilders group.

“We’ll have to recruit more,” he says.

Vap, owner of South Valley Drywall, rode out the downturn after the housing crash in part by relying on commercial construction projects. He cut his residential construction staff from 244 in 2006 to 80 in 2009.

This year, Vap has hired 15 field employees for residential construction and says he needs to hire 35 more to do the work he foresees in 2013.

During the 2005-2006 housing boom years, Gupta had to bring in work-

get a piece of the pie. This is not to mention the tax dollars that go to the city, which in turn supports police, and other civic entities.

I like to think that living in Woodstock is more than mere residency – it is belonging to a fellowship and with that comes responsibility. Being a good neighbor is more than mowing your lawn in a timely fashion, it is supporting local businesses – ensuring their survival and, in turn, their ability to also be a good neighbor.

Washington, D.C., is a long way from Woodstock and for better or for worse the impending decisions on the national economy are now in the hands of our elected officials. But in terms of the local economy, your voice is heard with every dollar you spend – whether you decide to shop local first and support Woodstock’s small business owners, or whether you choose to invest in someone else’s community.

So, I encourage you to be empowered.

Make the conscious decision to spend your dollars locally and to support our small businesses. It is in your hands to keep Woodstock strong.

• Shari Gray is executive director of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

just as professional and polished as their colleagues in the for-profit sector, she added.

The McHenry County Community Foundation recently joined with a much larger nonprofit organization, the Chicago Community Trust. Having the trust’s back-office staff to handle administrative tasks such as payroll and accounting enables the local foundation’s staff to spend more time on projects in McHenry County, Doeden said.

Such collaboration could become more common in the future. As could the use of temporary employees and consultants, according to the 2013 Nonprofit Employment Trends Survey.

The hurdles are even higher for smaller nonprofit groups with smaller budgets, said Steve Otten executive director of United Way of Greater McHenry County. Even so, Otten said the county’s nonprofit community remains strong.

“I’ve been really impressed with the leadership of the United Way’s partner agencies,” he said. “McHenry County is truly blessed.”

Nonetheless, the community could do more to cultivate future nonprofit executives as a today’s veteran leaders prepare to retire.

Hoban challenged philanthropists and donors to consider helping charitable organizations by giving them money for training and leadership development.

“We need to educate people about the need for that kind of funding,” she said.

ers from Texas because there weren’t enough employees in Florida to keep up with construction. He doubts many of those veterans will return.

“A lot of people who are from other states or from Mexico are not willing to come back here as fast as they did last time because of what they experienced,” Gupta says.

Between 2005 and 2010, 1.4 million Mexicans moved from the United States to Mexico — roughly twice as many as in the previous five-year period, according to the Pew Research Center. Though an estimated 11 million people remain in the United States illegally, the influx of illegal immigration from Mexico has essentially stopped, says Douglas Massey, a professor of sociology at Princeton University.

“The Mexican economy is doing quite well, with strong growth in manufacturing and both skilled and unskilled services,” Massey notes. “If construction demand picks up, we may see an uptick in Mexican immigration, but I think the boom years are likely over.”

Crowe and other economists predict that as demand for new homes strengthens further, higher wages will woo back many laborers who took up other jobs during the downturn.

The homebuilders association is pushing Congress to let more immigrants enter the country through a worker visa program. The association cites census data showing that foreign-born workers make up about 22 percent of the U.S. home construction work force. It estimates there are 116,000 unfilled jobs.

Still, even if builders find more workers to hire, two other factors could hold back the industry for a while: A tight supply of building materials and readyto-build land. Surveys by the National Association of Home Builders show that builders have grown concerned about those obstacles.

In part, that’s why Crowe thinks employment in single-family home building won’t return to its 2002 total until 2016. And he isn’t unhappy about that.

“In a perverse sort of way, the mild housing recovery is probably a good thing,” Crowe says. “We need to rebuild the infrastructure of the industry.”

10 Questions to Ask When Negotiating Salary

By Dona DeZube, Monster Finance Careers Expert

situation,” he says. “If they have no tolerance for questions, you need to know that up front.”

What you ask for during a salary negotiation doesn’t just influence how much you earn -- it also tells your future employer whether you’re good at negotiating, which is a skill you can put to work for the employer once you’re hired.

Negotiating salary doesn’t come naturally to many Americans, says Matthew DeLuca, author of

Think of a salary negotiation as your chance to shine. “The person on the other side of the desk is evaluating you,” DeLuca says. “This is going to show you’re astute in dealing with the outside world. When you get the offer, don’t let your guard down -- you’re still on the firing line.

Feel confident, because they’ve come to you with an offer.”

Perfect Phrases for Negotiating Salary and Job Offers: Hundreds of Ready-to-Use Phrases to Help You Get the Best Possible Salary, Perks, or Promotion. “Most people in our country are not used to bargaining,” he says, “But if you don’t bargain, you’re not going to get all you should.”

Perfect Phrases explains how to negotiate salary, but DeLuca’s tips also apply to contract and project-based pay negotiations.

In both cases, the people on the other side of the salary negotiations are trying to get you for the most cost-effective price.

To win your best salary, continue talking until you get everything you want, whether that’s a higher base, an early salary review or companypaid childcare, DeLuca says.

“There’s always a risk involved with any questions you raise when the offer is made, but it’s better to ask questions then, because if [the company is] uncompromising, that’s not a healthy

To make sure you get all you deserve, DeLuca recommends asking these 10 questions:

Assistant Controller

Demonstrate that you’re professional, polished and polite by saying thank you, and immediately follow to make sure that you really have just been offered a job.

Don’t accept an offer that isn’t in writing. Not everyone is honest. If you quit a job based on the verbal promise of a new job that then falls through, you’ll have no job and no recourse.

2. “Is this negotiable?”

6. “Will there be a sign-on Once the salary offer is revealed, bonus?” it never hurts to ask if they’ll put more money on the table.

If they say no, you can move on to negotiate other items.

3. “Is this base only?”

Asking if the figure you’re offered is total compensation or base compensation lets the interviewer know you’re interested in the details of bonuses and stock options, and it opens up other questions about bonus opportunities.

Never accept a job offer on the spot. In our society, you’re perceived as more effective if you’re thoughtful. Plus, stalling gives you time to consider your negotiation strategy. You can say, “This is a great job, and I really want it, but in my experience, I’m better off thinking about it and coming back to you.” Never say you need to discuss it with your spouse -- you want to appear confident and capable of making a decision on your own.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - People like you, and chances are you have more friends than you realize.

In the year ahead, good things could develop through several pals whom you’ve never fully appreciated.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you spend time searching for ways to increase your income, you will find numerous ways to do so. Make the most of them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It is important to maintain as much control as you can over an arrangement in which you’re

presently involved. Don’t hesitate to assert yourself if need be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You tend to get hunches all the time, but the ones you get today could be especially strong, enabling you to forecast the outcome of events with remarkable accuracy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Although your basic belief system might be tested, after you’ve had time to analyze things the results will end up reinforcing what you’ve always thought to be true.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Major objectives can be accomplished, so don’t waste your time on petty goals. Go after something truly important that will give you a real sense of achievement.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- There is no reason to give up on traditional methods that have proven successful in the past. Lady Luck is inclined to follow her same, familiar footsteps.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A significant change could be in the offing for a

situation of vital importance. Don’t fret -- the winds will shift in your direction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A partnership is likely to be more effective than an independent endeavor. Start forming alliances now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You tend to be extremely successful when you’re prepared to work hard. Go ahead and put the pedal to the metal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A group endeavor could be in need of reorganization.

Your ideas and advice could prove especially helpful.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be nice to your neighbors, because something fortuitous could develop through a friendly acquaintance with one of them.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t hesitate to think big, regardless of the scope of the project at hand. You shouldn’t have any trouble taking things as far as you want them to go.
