Housing too costly for many Obstacles remain despite drop in area’s home prices

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com The cost of living in McHenry County remains out of reach for many despite a significant drop in home prices since the recession.

“It’s becoming increasingly difficult for seniors, people with disabilities and anyone who is not in a high-paying job to live here,” said Mary Anne Weltch, chairwoman of the McHenry County Housing Commission. “Kids right out of college, nonprofit and factory workers, even teachers have a hard time.”

More than 40 percent of local families were living in housing they couldn’t afford in 2008, according to McHenry County’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Proposed develop-

Community High School District 155 said goodbye to more than 1,700 students who graduated from Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Cary-Grove and Prairie Ridge high schools Saturday.

District 155 board member Jim Nelson addressed graduates at Crystal Lake Central High School on Saturday, thanking them and all graduates in the district for the example they set. He said no matter how far they travel in the next chapter of their lives, they will always have a home in the district. PAGE B1

Obama sees terror ‘on path to defeat’

By ROBERT BURNS

Graduation brings out mixed emotions for Classes of 2013

ments in several towns could provide more affordable housing, but the shortage is so acute it could persist for decades.

McHenry County had 3,548 subsidized rental units in 2010, enough to meet 16 percent of demand, according to a 2012 study. The study found the county’s plan to add 30 units of affordable housing over five years was “insufficient to address existing need, much less the increase in need.”

Housing projects have been proposed in Crystal Lake and Volo, and developers behind proposals in Johnsburg, Huntley and Harvard have sought low-income housing tax credits from the

WASHINGTON – Some call it wishful thinking, but President Barack Obama has all but declared an end to the global war on terror.

Obama is not claiming final victory over extremists who still seek to kill Americans and other Westerners.

Instead, he is steering the United States away from what he calls an equally frightening threat: a country in a state of perpetual war.

In a landmark speech Thursday in which he sought to refine and recalibrate his counterterrorism strategy, Obama asserted that al-Qaida is “on the path to defeat,” reducing the scale of terrorism to pre-Sept. 11 levels. That means that with

the Afghanistan war winding down, Obama is unlikely to commit troops in large numbers to any conflict – in Syria or other countries struggling with instability in the uncertain aftermath of the Arab Spring – unless, as his critics fear, he tragically has underestimated al-Qaida’s staying power.

“Wishing the defeat of terrorists does not make it so,” said Rep. Mac Thornberry, a Texas Republican who is vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and a member of the House Intelligence Committee.

In Thornberry’s view, Obama is pushing the idea that “we can simply declare al-Qaida beaten and go back to the pre-9/11 era.”

If you needed any more evidence that U.S. immigration law needs a complete overhaul, let me introduce you to Veronica Jones.

A 22-year-old native of Barrie, Ontario, the Canadian citizen came to the U.S. in August 2008 on an academic visa to attend Arizona State University. After working hard for four years, Jones graduated from ASU in May 2012 with a degree in journalism.

While in school, she met and started dating Zach Wilson, a native of Crystal Lake.

With school over and their professional careers in front of them, the couple decided to move closer to Wilson’s family. They found an apartment in McHenry and started searching for work.

Wilson, who received his degree in manufacturing engineering, got a job with a manufacturing company in Lake Geneva, Wis. Jones initially got a reporting internship with Milwaukee Magazine.

Wanting a full-time job and hoping to work closer to home, she applied for and was offered a job with Shaw Media, parent company of the Northwest Herald, in February.

Late last year, Shaw Media decided to launch a new weekly newspaper and website in the Barrington area, a new market for us. Jones was hired as its reporter.

As with any startup, there was some risk involved. There was some established competition for both readers and advertisers in the market, though we felt we could fill a void.

Jones jumped into the project enthusiastically. She spent countless hours introducing herself around town, seeking story ideas, and writing dozens of interesting news stories and features.

Our first edition published March 7, and we’ve delivered a new Barrington Life each Thursday since. It’s been a huge success.

I’ve spent more than 20 years as a professional journalist, about 15 of those as an editor of some sort. Part of an editor’s job is listening to readers.

You learn early on that the vast majority of readers who call, write or visit you do so when they’re not happy about something. That’s just a fact of life.

But the complete opposite has been the case with Barrington Life. I’ve heard from a number of readers thanking us for bringing them a truly local newspaper. Jones deserves the credit for much of that.

Upon graduation from Arizona State, Jones received a standard, 12-month extended visa that allowed

By DANIEL ESTRIN The Associated Press JERUSALEM – Parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls are up for sale – in tiny pieces.

Nearly 70 years after the discovery of the world’s oldest biblical manuscripts, the Palestinian family who originally sold them to scholars and institutions is now quietly marketing the leftovers – fragments the family says it has kept in a Swiss safe deposit box all these years.

Most of these scraps are barely postage-stamp-sized, and some are blank. But in the last few years, evangeli-

VIEWS Dan McCaleb her to stay and work in the country.

The extended visa, she was told by an immigration attorney, usually leads to a more permanent work visa.

In April, Jones traveled to the U.S. Immigration Services office in Port Huron, Mich., to apply for that work visa. There, she was told that, well, she was employed in the wrong field.

Chapter 16 of the North American Free Trade Agreement – yes, that’s NAFTA – establishes certain “preferred” professions that allow immigrants from countries such as Canada to receive work visas.

Had Jones been a technical writer, hotel manager, librarian or psychologist, she would have had little trouble getting a work visa.

Jobs that are science- or math-focused dominate the “preferred” list.

But journalist? Sorry. No green card for you.

I’m not an immigration expert and I couldn’t possibly get into all the minutiae here. (Not that you’d want me to, anyway.) But in my short foray into this topic, I’ve learned that the U.S. also has “preferred” countries from which immigrants should come as well. Citizens of China and Singapore take precedence in the immigration process over many other countries, for example.

I understand the need for immigration laws. We couldn’t possibly accommodate every foreign national who wants to come here, nor should we.

But should we turn away bright professionals who play by the rules, receive their education here, and have no problem finding a decent job after graduation?

There are more than 11 million undocumented workers in this country, many of them working here illegally.

Yet Jones – despite following all of the rules – won’t be able to continue in her job effective June 2 until she works out her immigration issues. Thankfully, she won’t be deported as she tries to do just that.

In her final column – final for now, hopefully – in Barrington Life, to publish on Thursday, Jones writes this:

“I didn’t get a degree in math, science or engineering because, frankly, it doesn’t interest me. People who do the jobs in those fields are incredibly important, and I applaud them because I couldn’t do it. But that is where the

...We Take the Time to Know You

cal Christian collectors and institutions in the U.S. have forked out millions of dollars for a chunk of this archaeological treasure.

This angers Israel’s government antiquities authority, which holds most of the scrolls, claims that every last scrap should be recognized as Israeli cultural property, and threatens to seize any more pieces that hit the market.

“I told Kando many years ago, as far as I’m concerned, he can die with those scrolls,” said Amir Ganor, head of the authority’s anti-looting squad, speaking of

16% As often as possible

7% A few times a season

We wish Jones the best, and are standing by her as she continues to try to get a work visa. Once she does, we plan to bring her back.

In the meantime, we hope that President Barack Obama and Congress are serious about overhauling our convoluted – and, frankly, unfair – immigration policy.

We should be opening our arms – and our borders – to welcome talented, hardworking people such as Jones. Not the opposite.

••• American heroes: Monday is Memorial Day, a day when every American should take time to honor those heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

As the newspaper has on every Memorial Day for years, the Northwest Herald on Monday will publish a list of local soldiers who died while fighting for our freedom, from the Civil War through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sadly, seven people from McHenry County have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2004. Both wars are officially over, but thousands of troops remain in harm’s way as we continue to help each country with rebuilding efforts.

Keep our active-duty troops in your thoughts and prayers.

And remember always that we live in a free and prosperous country in large part because of the sacrifices made by those who died while protecting our freedoms and way of life.

William Kando, who maintains his family’s Dead Sea Scrolls collection. “The scrolls’ only address is the State of Israel.”

Kando says his family offered its remaining fragments to the antiquities authority and other Israeli institutions, but they could not afford them.

“If anyone is interested, we are ready to sell,” Kando told The Associated Press, sitting in the Jerusalem antiquities shop he inherited from his late father. “These are the most important things in the world.”

The world of Holy Land

antiquities is rife with theft, deception, and geopolitics, and the Dead Sea Scrolls are no exception.

Their discovery in 1947, in caves by the Dead Sea east of Jerusalem, was one of the greatest archaeological events of the 20th century. Scholarly debate over the scrolls’ meaning continues to stir high-profile controversy, while the Jordanian and Palestinian governments have lodged their own claims of ownership.

But few know of the recent gold rush for fragments – or Israel’s intelligence-gathering efforts to track their sale.

Democrats divided on big issues as session’s end nears

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Democrats seemed poised to rule almost unchallenged in the state Capitol after winning supermajorities in the House and Senate last fall.

But as intraparty divisions have surfaced, things haven’t been that simple.

Heading into the final week of the legislative session, Democrats are split on some of the state’s biggest issues, from the nation’s worst pension crisis to the public possession of guns, gay marriage and gambling expansion. Lawmakers also have yet to get a deal on the state budget, the expansion of Medicaid or how to regulate a high-volume oil and gas drilling process known as “fracking.”

It’s a weighty agenda to wade through by Friday’s scheduled adjournment, even in a statehouse accustomed to leaving legislation to the last minute.

“It is unusual in the scope of what has to be done,” said Rep. Greg Harris, a Chicago Democrat who’s working to pass a measure in the House to legalize same-sex marriage. “Those are each big things on any one day, much less all at one time.”

Democrats made historic gains in the November election, adding enough seats to their existing majorities to override a veto from Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in both chambers. They now hold majorities of 40-19 in the Senate and 71-47 in the House.

It takes 30 votes to pass legislation in the Senate and 60 votes in the House.

Holding a majority hasn’t historically meant Democrats have been able to do whatever they like.

On issues such as guns, legislators tend to split more

AP file photo

Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, talks to lawmakers Tuesday during a session at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield. along geographic lines, with lawmakers from outside of Chicago siding more with Republicans. And this session there are several Democrats in each chamber whose districts flipped from the Republican column. Those lawmakers tend to vote more conservatively than legislators from longtime Democratic strongholds.

Given those realities, the Senate’s top Republican, Sen. Christine Radogno, said the Democrats’ divisions were “pretty predictable.”

“There’s a lot of diversity within their caucuses,” she said. “It’s not surprising they’re having troubles.”

Some of the strongest differences of opinion are between the state’s top Democrats – Quinn, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton – all of whom are from Chicago.

It’s most evident on the issues of guns and how to fix the state’s $97 billion pension shortfall.

The Senate approved pension legislation sponsored by Cullerton in March. Cullerton believes his plan is the only option that will survive a court challenge because it gives retirees and employ-

ees a choice in benefits. But Madigan gutted that legislation and replaced it with a bill he said would save more money by unilaterally cutting benefits, and the House voted to approve it.

Cullerton then sponsored a new, union-supported measure that maintained the choice of benefits.

That bill passed the Senate and went to the House, leaving the two chambers in a stalemate.

Quinn has indicated he prefers Madigan’s measure, but hasn’t said he wouldn’t support Cullerton’s plan. Cullerton said Friday he is going to continue working toward a compromise.

On guns, Madigan backed legislation approved by the House on Friday that drew sharp criticism from Quinn and Cullerton.

The measure – passed as a court-ordered June 9 deadline approaches – would allow the carrying of concealed guns. But it also would eliminate all local gun laws, including Chicago’s ban on assault-style weapons.

Cullerton called that an “overreach” and “offensive” and said Senate Democrats will discuss their own proposal on Monday.

8BRIEFS Panetta praises devotion marshal of this year’s parade of U.S. service members through downtown.

CHICAGO – Chicago’s Memorial Day parade got underway Saturday after a wreath-laying ceremony in which former U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta praised the devotion of American service members.

Panetta said his proudest moments as defense chief and also as CIA director were his visits with men and women in uniform on battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Those troops included Panetta’s own son, who has served in Afghanistan.

The hardest part of those two jobs, he said, was writing to the families of those killed in battle.

Panetta said the U.S. armed forces would be nothing without the skill and dedication of its military men and women.

Panetta was the grand

Thousands of bridges at risk of freak collapse SEATTLE – Thousands of bridges around the U.S. may be one freak accident or mistake away from collapse, even if the spans are deemed structurally sound.

The crossings are kept standing by engineering design, not supported with brute strength or redundant protections like their more modern counterparts. Bridge regulators call the more risky spans “fracture critical,” meaning that if a single, vital component of the bridge is compromised, it can crumple.

Those vulnerable crossing carry millions of drivers every day. In northern Chicago, an I-90 pass that goes over Ashland Avenue is in the same

category.

Also in that category is the Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River north of Seattle, part of which collapsed into the water days ago after officials say an oversized truck load clipped the steel truss.

Public officials have focused in recent years on the desperate need for money to repair thousands of bridges deemed structurally deficient, which typically means a major portion of the bridge is in poor condition or worse.

But the bridge that collapsed Thursday is not in that deficient category, highlighting another major problem with the nation’s infrastructure: Although it’s rare, some bridges deemed to be fine structurally can still be crippled if they are struck hard enough in the wrong spot.

Anti-Muslim actions rise in UK after killing

By SYLVIA HUI The Associated Press LONDON – Police, politicians and activists in Britain are warning of rising anti-Muslim sentiment following the slaughter of an off-duty British soldier in a London street, an apparent act of Islamic extremism that has horrified the nation.

Metropolitan Police investigating the killing of Lee Rigby, a 25-year-old soldier who was run over by attackers then butchered by knives, arrested three more men in the murder investigation Saturday. Stun guns were used on two of the three men, aged 24 and 28, police said.

The latest arrests came as an estimated 1,500 members of an extremist right-wing group called the English Defense League marched in the northern English city of Newcastle, chanting Rigby’s name. In the southern English city of Portsmouth, police arrested two men for a racially motivated assault as hundreds of demonstrators gathered near one mosque, while several more people were detained for alleged racist offenses elsewhere.

The two men suspected of killing the soldier, Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, remained under armed guard in separate London hospitals after police

shot them at the scene. Police have not officially named the suspects because they have not been charged, but British officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the investigation, have confirmed their names to The Associated Press.

Wednesday’s murder in southeast London’s Woolwich area shocked the nation partly because the horrific scenes were recorded on witnesses’ cellphones, and a video picked up by British media showed one of the two suspects, his hands bloodied, making political statements and warning of further violence as the soldier lay on the ground behind him.

Counter-terrorism police also are questioning a friend of Adebolajo who was arrested Friday night immediately after he gave BBC Television an interview detailing why he thought Adebolajo may have become radicalized.

Metropolitan Police said the friend, identified by the BBC as 31-year-old Abu Nusaybah, was wanted himself on suspicion of “the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.” The force declined to elaborate.

Rigby’s killing – and Adebolajo’s apparent link to Islamic extremism – has stirred anti-Muslim backlashes across Britain.

MAKHACHKALA, Russia – A female suicide bomber blew herself up in the southern Russian region of Dagestan on Saturday, injuring at least 18, including two children and five police officers, authorities said. The attacker was later identified as a widow of two Islamic radicals killed by security forces.

It was the first suicide bombing in Dagestan since the Boston Marathon attacks last month.

The Tsarnaev brothers suspected of carrying out those blasts are ethnic Chechens who lived in this turbulent Caucasus province before moving to the U.S. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the elder brother who was killed in a shootout with police days after the April 15 bombings, spent six months in Dagestan in 2012.

Dagestan remains an epicenter of violence in the con-

frontation between Islamic radicals and federal forces.

Islamic extremists strive to create an independent Muslim state, or “emirate,” in the Caucasus and parts of southern Russia with a sizable Muslim population.

In Saturday’s attack, the bomber detonated an explosives-laden belt in the central square in the provincial capital, Makhachkala, Dagestan’s police spokesman Vyacheslav Gasanov said.

The woman was identified as Madina Alieva, 25, who married an Islamist who was killed in 2009 and then wedded another Islamic radical who was gunned down last

year, police spokeswoman Fatina Ubaidatova said.

Since 2000, at least two dozen women, most of them from the Caucasus, have carried out suicide bombings in Russian cities and aboard trains and planes.

All were linked to an Islamic insurgency that spread throughout Dagestan and the predominantly Muslim Caucasus region after two separatist wars in neighboring Chechnya.

The bombers are often called “black widows” in Russia because many are the widows, or other relatives, of militants killed by security forces.

Islamic militants are believed to convince “black widows” that a suicide bombing will reunite them with their dead relatives beyond the grave.

Police said two of the people injured in the attack were in critical condition.

There were no details about the injured children.

8BRIEFS Hezbollah chief commits to victory in Syria BEIRUT –The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group vowed to help propel President Bashar Assad to victory in Syria’s bloody civil war, warning that the fall of the Damascus regime would give rise to extremists and plunge the Middle East into a “dark period.”

In a televised address Saturday, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah also said Hezbollah members are fighting in Syria against Islamic radicals who pose a danger to Lebanon, and pledged that his group will not allow Syrian militants to control areas along the Lebanese border.

Hagel: Cadets must stamp out sex assault WEST POINT, N.Y. – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on Saturday that they must stamp out the

scourge of sexual assault in the military.

A day after President Barack Obama delivered a similar edict to U.S. Naval Academy graduates, Hagel’s message comes amid a series of widespread incidents of sexual misconduct across the armed services in recent months and a new report showing the problem is growing.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – Making his first official trip to sub-Saharan Africa, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Saturday demanded that Nigeria respect human rights as it cracks down on Islamist extremists and pledged to work hard in the coming months to ease tensions between Sudan and South Sudan.

Kerry, attending the African Union’s 50th anniversary, backed the Nigerian government’s efforts to root out Boko Haram, an al-Qaida-linked radical sect.

But he said there is no excuse for abuses by armed forces in Nigeria’s north, where President Goodluck Jonathan declared emergency rule.

Obama: ‘This war, like all wars, must end’

Property taxes among factors • HOUSING Continued from page A1 Illinois Housing Development Authority. And Turnstone Development has said it plans to ask the IHDA for funding help for the 70-unit apartment complex it wants to build in Lake in the Hills.

However, many projects face an uncertain future.

Earlier this year, a Johnsburg village committee wouldn’t support a company’s plans to build a 70-unit apartment complex with affordable housing on Route 31 near Walmart because members said it wasn’t a good use of the commercial corridor.

Other McHenry County municipalities have restrictive zoning ordinances and land-use plans – such as large lot size requirements or little-to-no zoning designated for multifamily development – that discourage affordable housing, the study found.

One of the McHenry County Housing Commission’s initiatives is to discuss zoning issues with local municipalities “There’s still some resistance to this,” Weltch said.

“People think affordable housing means Cabrini-Green, but that’s not true today.”

While the commission’s focus is on spreading awareness about zoning policies inconsistent with fair housing standards, the study said the county should withhold funding from municipalities that don’t conform and require “affordable housing set-asides in residential developments that occur where public water and sewer are in place.”

Housing expensive in county For those earning minimum wage or relying on disability benefits, renting in McHenry County is challenging.

The fair market rent for a two-bedroom apartment in

McHenry County was $958 in 2012, according to the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice study. That would require earning $38,320 a year – or about $18 an hour – to afford without spending more than the recommended 30 percent of income on housing.

For a minimum-wage employee, that would mean an 89hour workweek.

“People living paycheck to paycheck are often spending 50 [percent] to 60 percent of their income on housing,” according to Hans Mach of McHenry County Continuum of Care to End Homelessness.

“That’s a major contributor to homelessness in the county.”

But affordable local housing options for low-income earners are limited.

From 2000 to 2009, the county lost nearly a third of its housing units that cost less than $500 a month. During the same period, the number of units renting for more than $1,000 a month increased by nearly 200 percent, according to the housing study.

The McHenry County Housing Authority has 23 single-family housing units in the county and administers 947 housing vouchers. Last July, nearly 2,500 families were on the waiting list for the voucher program, according to the study. The waiting list now has about 2,400 families, said Julie Biel Claussen, the authority’s executive director.

Lack of affordable housing affects some of the area’s most vulnerable people, according to the study and local nonprofits.

Home of the Sparrow, a McHenry-based organization that helps homeless women and children, was “lucky” to get 13 affordable housing units through federal programs late last year and early this year, Executive Director John Jones said.

The units house about 50 women and children and al-

low the nonprofit to get families back into the community more quickly. Two years ago, clients spent an average of 18 months living at Home of the Sparrow’s shelter; now it’s four months. The units should allow nearly twice as many people through the program this year, Jones said.

Local leaders and elected officials need to accept the magnitude of the problem and take steps to correct it, he said.

Businesses also want more affordable housing.

“Living in McHenry County, especially in the southern part of the county, it’s awfully expensive for local workers,” said Gary Overbay, chairman of the McHenry County Economic Development Corp. board.

The corporation recently backed plans for a 60-unit apartment complex on Congress Parkway in Crystal Lake. Overbay said such projects could benefit local businesses and their employees.

Continued from page A1 From the beginning of his presidency, Obama’s centerpiece of his national security strategy has been a desire to move beyond the wars he inherited in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as in the shadowy spaces occupied by al-Qaida and its offshoots now creeping up in North Africa and elsewhere.

Those endeavors consumed enormous amounts of his administration’s time and attention during his first term, not to mention the incalculable costs paid by military members and their families.

“This war, like all wars, must end,” he said. “That’s what history advises. That’s what our democracy demands.”

As Obama edges toward a new approach to national security, his political opponents are quick to raise doubts.

“Too often, this president has sought to end combat operations through rhetoric rather than reality,” GOP Rep. Howard P. “Buck” McKeon of California, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said Friday.

“He has declared the war in Iraq over, but the insurgency there continues. He has declared an end to combat operations in Afghanistan, but the Taliban fight on.

He has now declared the war on terrorism over, despite a terrorist attack in Britain this week, a terrorist attack in Boston last month and a terrorist attack in Libya that left a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans dead last year.”

Yet the president cautioned against a return to what he called a complacency in counterterrorism before Islamic extremists hijacked U.S. jetliners and slammed them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

“Make no mistake,” he said, “our nation is still threatened by terrorists,” noting that the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last September and in Boston last month were tragic reminders.

But he also left little doubt that he thinks it is time to turn the page on the post9/11 approach. He was referring not only to the controversial use of armed drones to target terrorists in Pakistan, Afghanistan and other countries, but also the commitment of tens of thousands of U.S. ground troops in conventional fighting.

Taxes remain high High property taxes and limited space for affordable developments have contributed to the county’s dearth of affordable housing.

The annual median property-tax levy for a home at the county’s median value is nearly $5,000, or 6 percent of median household income, according the study. Only 30 other counties in the country have a higher property tax as percentage of median income, according to the report.

County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill said the county is doing what it can with available state and federal dollars.

Recommendations from the study are being implemented but making the county more affordable will take time, McHenry County Community Development Specialist Kim Ulbrich said, as significant development is necessary to make a dent in the need.

Salute to our true heroes Memorial Day weekend is known as the unofficial start to summer, a time when pools open, vacations are started, and stores offer deals.

But Monday is not about enjoying a day off from everyday concerns.

We do an unforgivable disservice if we don’t push through the commercialization of Memorial Day and remember the reason we’re given a day to fire up the barbecue.

For the record That reason is to honor the men Enjoy your day off, but don’t and women who forget to remember those have given their whose ultimate sacrifices allow lives for our us to enjoy our freedom and country. prosperity.

Memorial Day was first officially observed May 30, 1868, to honor the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died during the Civil War. The holiday has since evolved to observe all U.S. servicemen and women who have died while in military service.

We have to go back to just 2012 to remember the last McHenry County soldier who died in war: Capt. Nathan McHone, 29, of Crystal Lake, was one of six Marines killed when their helicopter crashed Jan. 19 in Helmand province, Afghanistan.

Other local residents recently killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are Collier Barcus, Jonathan Collins, Keith Nurnberg, Lukasz Saczek, Jason McLeod and Christopher Antonik.

We’ll list the names of all McHenry County residents killed in service to this country on Monday’s Opinion page. For those wishing to pay their respects, there are no lack of local parades, ceremonies and events to remember those lost.

Because Memorial Day is, at its core, a day to remember.

For those who lost a loved one, a day to recall him or her.

For those who survived conflicts, a day to remember their comrades who didn’t make it home.

For those who have never known what it means to deploy, a day to honor those who did and paid with their lives.

Taking one day a year to honor these brave souls who gave their lives to ensure our freedoms remain is the least we can do. We console those they left behind, whose hearts are likely still broken at the loss of a father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister or friend.

And we thank current military members as well as surviving veterans, those willing to sacrifice all they have to uphold the ideals of a country that at times likely has let each of us down.

Monday is for those who believed in something bigger than themselves and gave their lives to preserve it.

We salute you and honor your sacrifice.

American voters Another member of the U.S. House of Representatives has introduced yet another bill in a futile attempt to limit how long members of Congress can stay in office. The measure, authored by Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., would limit House members to three terms, or six years, and senators to two terms, or 12 years.

Since the change would require a constitutional amendment, two-thirds of Congress would have to approve it followed by ratification of three-fourths of the 50 states. That’s a long road for any legislation to have to travel, which is as it should be when talking about altering the U.S. Constitution.

There’s a better way to achieve this objective. What’s needed are men and women vying for office who are more concerned about their nation, about the future of all Americans, and less about their own political careers. In other words, the nation needs statesmen.

What’s needed above all else are wise voters – men and women who care enough about the future of their nation to take the time to look beyond political labels and study the candidates.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Memorial Day parade To the Editor: I have been going to and enjoying Woodstock’s Memorial Day Parade for a long time. I’ve noticed the past few years there hasn’t been any school bands. What’s a parade without patriotic music being played?

I know school is out early, but maybe some students would like to volunteer to march and play. It could be good practice.

It’s hard to believe that our students and teachers aren’t grateful for our veterans. We need to show our veterans and their families thank yous. To show our pride in our country on Memorial Day.

Illinois has 1,433 township governments in 85 of the state’s 102 counties, with supervisors receiving a salary, health insurance and retirement benefits. Besides township supervisors, each township has an assessor, highway commissioner, clerk and four trustees.

Illinois has 17 counties that do not have township governments or their tax burdens. They are located in the state’s most rural southern regions, and citizens receive all the necessary services from their city and county governments.

Abolish townships.

Pistol-packing pedagogues

Woodstock

To the Editor: Hearing the NRA and its president, Wayne LaPierre, support an effort to arm teachers, my thoughts traveled back to my fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Gustafson, a matronly old gal sporting silver gray hair drawn up in a bun with a face as kindly as Santa himself.

Had Mrs. Gustafson been packing a pistol, I’m sure the sight of the moderately overweight postmenopausal schoolmarm, in print dress and wedgies, would have been enough to send shivers up the spine of any bad guy. I can envision Mrs. Gustafson standing over a fallen terrorist, foot firmly on his chest, blowing at the smoke drifting from the barrel of her recently fired revolver.

Mrs. Gustafson also could have used her gun for educational reinforcement. On occasion, Stinky Flanagan would get his knuckles rapped with a ruler for making animal noises. How much more effective Mrs. Gustafson could have been had she been able to administer a knock on Stinky’s head with the butt of her Smith & Wesson.

There continues to be considerable noise about gun control.

Maybe the noise created by foolishly suggesting that we arm teachers will lead us to more productive dialogue. Maybe not. It might be that the noise is LaPierre spinning the chamber of his organizational Colt 45. Then again,

Abolish townships To the Editor: Townships don’t provide much for the money. But they provide lavish salaries and benefits for township officials. Tight money affecting the private sector is not an issue for township government.

The salary of McHenry Township Supervisor Donna Schaefer and Algonquin Township Supervisor Dianne Klemm, both former County Board members, exceed salaries paid to city, town and village mayors or presidents, County Board members, and state senators and representatives.

Schaefer receives an annual salary of $72,636; Klemm $66,655.

The mayor of McHenry receives $15,000 a year; the mayor of Woodstock, $12,000; and the mayor of Crystal Lake, $3,000. County board members receive $21,000 a year, state Sen. Pam Althoff and state Rep. Barbara Wheeler each receive $67,000 a year.

The taxpayer’s burden for health and retirement benefits for Schaefer and Klemm is heavy.

McHenry Township taxpayers pay $9,950 a year in health insurance and $8,091 in retirement benefits for Schaefer. In Algonquin Township, taxpayers pick up the tab for Klemm’s health insurance cost of $10,526 and retirement benefits of $8,091 a year.

Grafton’s future To the Editor: Dear Residents of Grafton Township: Thank you for the honor and opportunity to serve as your township supervisor for the past four years. I have really enjoyed working for you and meeting the challenges of the office.

We have accomplished many things for the benefit of the residents, but there are some items on the list of things left to do. The audits of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013 are well under way and expected to be complete by the end of this month.

In April 2013, the board officially accepted the fiscal 2011 audit as presented two years ago with nothing untoward found and no changes. The new board will need to quickly adopt budgets for the township and road district.

Grafton Township will have a nearly fresh start with only one carryover official. The voters elected newcomer Jim Kearns to serve as your 2013 to 2017 Grafton Township supervisor. We have worked together to ensure a smooth transition. He officially started Monday, May 20.

I wish all of the new and retiring township officials only the best going forward. I remain available to everyone at 847-630-6325. Please call if you have a question or there is something that I could do to help you. We all can be proud to say that we are residents of Grafton Township.

Railroad accident To the Editor.

I’m amazed that there still can be a railroad accident where a stationary derailed train is hit by a train from the opposite direction. I would have thought that the application of the emergency brake would have avoided this.

Operation by crew or passengers could trigger an alarm signal to other trains that they were within one mile of an emergency brake application. They could slow their approach upon the increasing strength of such a signal.

The actual railroad track is used to carry signaling information, and of course the air waves provide a wide variety of possible applications.

How about it NTSB? Alan Wilson Lake in the Hills

Teachers deserve thanks To the Editor: Teachers are true heroes! We saw it in Oklahoma, where brave teachers shielded their students from the tornado by laying on top of them, sustaining injuries to themselves but protecting the kids. We see it in our own schools everyday, where teachers invest so much of their lives in helping our children become prepared for life and a better future.

The next chance you get, thank a teacher for all that they do.

It shouldn’t take a tragedy like Oklahoma to see what dedicated and incredible people teachers are. So parents and students, take a moment to say thanks to your teachers! They certainly deserve it!

He asked the soon-to-be graduates to live as thermostats and not thermometers.

Olson told the departing class, a generation of young adults who grew up with Google, Facebook, Twitter and countless blogs, to remember to keep a clear mind in a world of information overload and have the courage to be independent thinkers.

He told the 372 students to be the thermostats that

set the climate and not thermometers that just reflect what is around them.

“Are you going to be the one being influenced or an influencer?” Olson asked the graduates. “Please continue to question ... why things are the way they are.”

“All three [candidates] are very well-qualified,” Drury said. “They have a knowledge of the job, bookkeeping and

experience with being a treasurer. They’re trustworthy and willing to take $13.50.”

One of the candidates is a certified public accountant, and the others have bookkeeping experience, he said.

They’re all residents of Holi-

After the interviews and receiving input from the board, Drury will make a recommendation at the board’s June 3 meeting. He also hopes to have an attorney recommendation then, too.

Some truck driving fines upped

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com SPRING GROVE – To deter truck drivers from using Winn Road as a bypass, the Spring Grove Village Board upped the fine for overweight vehicles, the village president said.

The ordinance was one of three approved at a recent board meeting.

The Village Board also increased the towing and impoundment fee to $350 from $250, still below the maximum, and approved a local littering ordinance, so officers didn’t have to charge under the state law.

It will give officers “a little bit more authority to enforce,” Village President Mark Eisenberg said.

Under the new overweight

vehicle ordinance, the drivers of overweight vehicles can find themselves facing a $750 ticket in municipal court. Previously, police officers would charge drivers under the state law, which carries a $75 fine.

“They’re doing damage to our roads,” Eisenberg said. “[The new ordinance] gives the village the chance to recoup the cost.”

There will be a grace period as the village puts up signs along the affected roads, which include Winn Road, Main Street, Sunset Road and Meyer Road, Police Chief Thomas Saunders said.

If the driver has business in the area, though, they are exempt from the restriction, he said. The goal is to prevent people from using the village’s roads, which are not

McHENRY COUNTY: RELIEF

Deadline set for residents to register for federal flood aid NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – McHenry County residents affected by the severe storms and flooding that hit the area in April and early May have until July 9 to register for aid.

The county is recommending that all affected residents, even those who are insured or think they don’t need help, register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Once the deadline passes, nonregistered residents no longer will have the option of receiving aid, according to a news release. There are programs available to help residents fill the gap between

now and when a settlement is reached with the insurance company.

To register: • Call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 1-800-462-7585 for the speech- and hearing-impaired.

For those using 711-Relay or video relay services (VRS), call 1-800-621-3362.

• Go online to disasterassistance.gov.

The toll-free telephone numbers will operate from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week.

McHenry County was one of 25 Illinois counties to receive a federal disaster declaration, which opens up individual assistance to affected residents.

designed to carry that kind of weight, as thoroughfares.

Since the municipal court was created two years ago, the village has added more ordinances to handle issues at the village level.

When a ticket goes to court, the fees are split among the village, county and state, but with municipal court, most, if not all, of the fine stays with the village.

“One of the biggest problems that we have is that it costs more to send them to court than we get,” Eisenberg said. “Our officers are doing the patrolling work, and we’re not getting anything.”

The police department makes up almost half of the village’s budget.

The village does not have water or streets departments.

8LOCAL BRIEF

Most work stopping for weekend

By KEVIN CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Most Illinois construction work comes to a halt on the Memorial Day weekend, but when you start heading back to work Tuesday, keep your eyes on the following projects: • FLEMING ROAD: Work is starting June 3 to repair the scenic, but decaying, 2½-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: Only

westbound traffic is allowed to travel along the road from Chapel Hill Road to Cherokee Drive. Eastbound traffic is being rerouted through a Route 31, Route 120, Chapel Hill Road detour.

• CHARLES MILLER ROAD: 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.

Prepare for traffic slowdowns as hot asphalt paving begins this week on Miller and River roads.

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 AND ROUTE 47: Be prepared for slower traffic along Route 47 as work continues to create a full interchange.

While we’re on the subject of I-90, watch for the reconstruction of the Route 20 overpass, and watch for overnight pavement repair between Route 31 and Randall Road.

• WESTERN BYPASS: Watch for workers and delays as workers continue a $33 million project to build a 2-mile, four-lane highway west of downtown Algonquin to relieve congestion on Route 31.

• ELSEWHERE IN ALGONQUIN: Algonquin Road between Main Street and Meyer Drive will be down to one lane through this fall. Watch for

Su NO nd W ay ope 10 n -4

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.

• CRYSTAL LAKE REPAVING: Signs are popping up on Crystal Lake streets warning drivers that they are set to be repaved.

• WALKUP ROAD: Work on the Walkup Road project is expected to be finished in the next several weeks.

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, last month. Watch for workers.

• A WORD OF WARNING: Police are going to be on the lookout during the holiday weekend for people driving without seat belts and driving under the influence. So buckle up, and please don’t drink and drive.

Principal: ‘View life as a masterpiece’ vided the fabric.

“The style in the front and the words on the shirt are up to you,” she said. “What will yours say?”

Humpa, who is returning to the classroom next year after 12 years as a principal, urged the graduates to view their lives as masterpieces in the making, with each choice and each moment contributing a brush stroke.

And farewell speaker Jack Disselhorst, in homage to “Finding Nemo,” thanked parents and teachers for preparing class members to free themselves from the net.

“Don’t always follow the current,” he said to his classmates. “Sometimes it’s much more fortuitous to swim down.”

Class valedictorian Amanda Weber challenged her classmates to avoid regret.

“Every day is a great day to be alive,” she said. “Don’t be that guy who wastes your future.”

Also taking the podium was class salutatorian Margaret Schlofner, a vocalist and thespian who Principal Paul Humpa said had performed on stage in every fine arts production at Prairie Ridge for the last four years.

She challenged each of her peers to come up with a two-word T-shirt slogan that would best describe them.

Offering “spend wisely,” “give back” and “dream big” as some possibilities, she said Prairie Ridge had pro-

• PRAIRIE RIDGE Continued from page B1 “I’m really excited for her,” she said. “She’s really ready to go on to college.”

Numerous proud parents and relatives soon were snapping photos as the graduates walked by.

Kelsey Bear, who graduated third in her class, was the first of the student speakers.

“This is the moment we’ve been anticipating for four years,” she said, noting that being a part of the Class of 2013 was like being part of a sports team.

“Go out there and be a part of many teams,” she said, “and be the most valuable player you can be.”

Salutatorian speaks in the face of adversity • CLS

“Because of our years at South, we’re ready, and in the future, if you ever doubt yourself, look back … you’ll always have your home. We’ll always have your back. So go for it.”

Continued from page B1 “There’s a hockey game tonight,” noted Bill Schultz, clearly momentarily distracted by the fate of his beloved Blackhawks, who were down 3-1 in their playoff series as of Saturday morning.

His thoughts shifted as the graduates, gals in gold and guys in green, began to head toward their seats.

“I’ve already told her she’s going to be 16 the rest of her life,” Schultz said of his 18-yearold daughter, Sami, the Schultzes’ youngest of two. “She’s not allowed to get any older.”

Virginia Mary van Vianen welcomed the crowd to her class’s graduation ceremony, the last over which Marsha Potthoff will preside as principal.

She is taking a district admin-

Salutatorian Andrew Joseph Koltun spoke of gratitude, even in the face of adversity.

“This year my father died,” he said. “It’s been a profound struggle … but I am grateful for the amazing support I’ve received.”

And valedictorian Irene Low Feng spoke of the recent realization among many in her class of the swiftly falling twilight on their high school years.

“We haven’t realized how much South is a part of us until now,” she said. “I appreciate

Class boasts two National Merit finalists • CARY-GROVE Continued from page B1 Parents, faculty and classmates took time to relish the achievements of the 2013 graduating class of nearly 480 students. The class boasts two National Merit Scholarship finalists, seven National Merit Scholarship Commended students, 96 Illinois State Scholars, 81 students with a grade point average of 4.0 or higher, and countless athletic and scholastic competition wins.

Members of the class of 2013 have certainly left their mark, along with some pretty big shoes to fill for incoming seniors.

Class salutatorian Hannah Phillips is off to Michigan State University in the fall to pursue a degree in neuroscience. She admits that though she dominated her academic

challenges at Cary-Grove, there may be bigger challenges ahead that don’t come with a full faculty prepared to assist you.

“I’m 18 years old, and I don’t even know how to do my own laundry,” Phillips said.

Joking aside, Phillips offered advice to her fellow graduates for the challenges they will soon meet.

“We are now faced with our biggest challenge – moving on,” Phillips said. “Remember your past as you move into your future, but remember no one cares who you were in high school.

Start fresh, and be ready to face freshman year all over again.”

A charismatic Ryan DiCicco, whom Principal Jay Sergeant warmly introduced as “Cheeks,” took the stage as Cary-Grove’s 2013 class valedictorian. The Cary resident and aspiring chemical engi-

neer is off to the University of Notre Dame in the fall.

After a few jokes and charming his way through some technical difficulties with the microphone, DiCicco asked those present to live in the moment.

“We often forget what’s happening right now,” he said. “Everything that has and will happen is of the present. Seize the moment. Live in the present.”

Sergeant had a tough time saying goodbye to his graduating students, choking up twice during his commencement speech as he recalled several instances throughout their time at Cary-Grove that defines them as an “all for one” type of class.

“These seniors are selfless,” Sergeant said. “They think of others before themselves. They don’t need to be challenged, it’s who they are.”

MELANIE LEIGH (ROBERTS) DAVIS Born: June 3, 1964; in St. Louis, Mo. Died: May 22, 2013; in Columbia, Mo. SPRING GROVE – It is with the deepest heartfelt sadness, as well as joy for her that she is now with her beloved savior, that we announce the passing of Melanie Leigh (Roberts) Davis, 48, of Spring Grove.

Melanie passed away Wednesday, May 22, 2013, in Columbia, Mo., while working as an Associate Director of State Government Relations for Alkermes Addiction Division.

Melanie was born June 3, 1964, in St. Louis, Mo., daughter to Marilyn Mae (Leaming) Roberts and James Nelson Roberts, and is stepdaughter

to Betty (Sheldon) Roberts. She is the beloved sister of Beth (Roberts) Hernandez, Lisa (Roberts) Rumping, Cash Roberts (deceased), Erin Roberts, Kim (Roberts) Claeys, Deborah Anderson, Marianne (Roberts) Johnson, Steve Roberts and JN Roberts II. Melanie grew up in Olathe, Kan., and Walker, Minn., graduating from Walker High School in 1982.

She worked in retail throughout both high school and college at Lundrigan’s Clothing. She graduated from Concordia College in 1986 with a double major of a BA in communications and business. She was honored with the Miss Leech Lake crown and was the first reigning queen of the now-annual Eelpout Festival.

Melanie is survived by her three children Andrew James Ernst (and his fiancée Samantha Usmiller), Abigail Mae Ernst and Aidan Josiah Ernst. In passing, she joined her beloved son Alexander Seth Ernst. She is also survived by her husband, Tom Davis, as well as her stepchildren Emily and John Davis. She will be deeply missed by all – family, friends and colleagues alike.

Melanie was known for her compassion, kindness and generosity of spirit – especially toward children – as well as her bubbly laugh, amazing sense of humor and her deep faith in Christ. She held a passion for music, reading, and the “Blue Star Moms” – an organization welcoming our soldiers home from deployment overseas.

LEONARD E. FAIR Born: Nov. 22, 1924; in Chicago Died: May 22, 2013; in Arlington Heights ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – Leonard E. Fair, 88, passed away Wednesday, May 22, 2013, at Northwest Community Hospital in the Midwest Care Center Hospice Suite in Arlington Heights.

He was born Nov. 22, 1924, in Chicago to Leonard Earl and Cecelia (Gorney) Fair.

A veteran of the U.S. Army, he served during World War II in the 36th Calvary Recon Squadron, driving a half truck.

He had been employed by the Wings and Wheels Trucking Company for 18 years, which was based out of Midway Airport.

He liked to travel and built a wooden cabin cruiser upon which he spent many years enjoying the Fox River and Chain O’ Lakes.

One of the many hobbies he enjoyed was coin collecting. He enjoyed having a good time and

Grad cites local support • CLC Continued from page B1 But Saturday’s graduation celebration was just as much about the Class of 2013’s accomplishments as it was about its future. From the historical run of the football team to the more than $500,000 earned in combined scholarships for those continuing their education, students reflected on a memorable senior year.

“Many of us are caught up in the fear of the future,” said salutatorian Ryan O’ Toole, who will head to Marquette University to study biomedical engineering. “We need to live in the moment and take it all in.”

Valedictorian Ann Bandolik, who will attend Durham University in England to study economics, said none the accomplishments from her class would have been possible without the teachers, staff and community support.

At a time when many districts and schools are cutting programs, she said school leaders and community members rallied to support important extracurricular activities and even add to programs such as advanced placement courses.

“None of this would be possible without the encouragement from our teachers and staff,” Bandolik said. “Thank you for not just keeping the lights on, but for keeping them shining bright.”

For some, graduation was a seemingly distant destination that arrived surprisingly quickly. Grace Roth, one of 31 students to graduate with a grade point average of 4.0 or higher, said it was a bittersweet day.

“I couldn’t count the number of Facebook statuses and tweets counting down to graduation,” she said. “Now that we’re here it’s a little bit scary. ... It’s not always easy to realize how great high school is.”

He was preceded in death by his parents; and a granddaughter, Amanda J. Fair.

SECTION C

Shaw gives Hawks much-needed jolt CHICAGO – As Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw parked his measly 5-foot-10, 180-pound frame in enemy territory Saturday, he resembled a small dog more than a hockey player.

You know the type.

It’s the dog that never realized he was small. Maybe nobody told him. Maybe he refused to listen.

Anyway, that’s Shaw.

And Shaw is a big reason why the Hawks have a chance to rescue their record-setting season.

The Hawks thumped the Detroit Red Wings, 4-1, to stave off elimination in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals. The series will return to Detroit on Monday for Game 6, when the Hawks will try to erase the Wings’ 3-2 series edge and force a winner-take-all Game 7.

Shaw was named the No. 1 star of Game 5 with two goals, including the go-ahead goal on the power play during the second period. After Shaw was announced as the game’s top player, he skated toward center ice and lifted his stick in appreciation as 22,014 fans roared in gratitude.

Who is this guy, anyway?

Clark Brooks – For the Northwest Herald

Richmond-Burton’s James Kaht competes in the Class 2A 1,600-meter finals at the IHSA state meet Saturday in Charleston. Kaht, a junior, finished in second place.

VIEWS Tom Musick I did some research a few practices back to learn more about the 21-year-old from Ontario.

“He never stops talking,” Hawks forward Bryan Bickell said. “All of the guys are like, ‘Where do you get all of this energy from?’ He doesn’t take naps. He’s just a high-energy kid.”

The no-nap thing seemed weird.

As far as I knew, every hockey player took naps.

That’s how they fill a big chunk of the time between a morning skate (typically at 10:30 a.m.) and a night game (typically at 7 or 7:30 p.m.).

Is it weird?

“Yeah, I think so,” Hawks forward Brandon Saad said.

“I mean, everyone thinks it’s weird.”

So that’s official. It’s weird.

I asked Shaw why he didn’t take naps like the rest of the hockey universe.

CLASS 4A JACOBS REGIONAL

Jacobs earns first regional title

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The idea of establishing a place in Jacobs baseball history was first introduced during a two-day trip to Peoria and had been a recurring theme throughout the regular season.

All spring, Golden Eagles coach Jamie Murray reminded his players they had a chance to leave a legacy if they could find a way to put everything together when it mattered most. On Saturday, Jacobs saw to it that happened.

Jacobs (23-11) advances to the

Huntley Sectional, where it will face Hononegah at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

The Indians beat Boylan, 4-2, in Saturday’s Guilford Regional championship.

“Being part of this is amazing,” said Conzelman, who delivered a three-run homer and a two-run single in his first two at-bats. “Now, no matter what anybody says, we can tell ourselves we’re the best Jacobs baseball team that’s ever been. Nobody’s ever won a regional at Jacobs.”

Until now.

rian Urlacher ensured that he would wear no jersey other than No. 54 for the Bears when he announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons. Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss:

Musick: What a career. Father Time might have caught up with Brian Urlacher, but not before Urlacher was selected to eight Pro Bowls and appeared in 182 games. Will Bears fans ever see another middle linebacker like him?

Styf: I think that question has arisen before and then came Mike Singletary, and then came Urlacher.

They’ve had another good middle linebacker, they just don’t have him now. Will he be the same as Urlacher, no? Will he wear 54? Well, apparently the Bears aren’t going to retire any more numbers after Ditka’s No. 89, so he might.

Musick: Because the Bears have so many great players and a limited amount of jersey numbers, I think the NFL should allow the team’s jerseys to resemble license plates. That way, Shea McClellin could wear No. 976LPX instead of Dan Hampton’s No. 99. But I think I’m getting off track.

I doubt we’ll see another linebacker with Urlacher’s combination of size and speed.

Styf: The point is to get off track.

I was thinking fractions, decimal points or QR codes. Or, more sensibly, the Bears could just have a Hall of Fame to induct players into and let the numbers be worn by all. I mean, this isn’t college football, where you can suit up two guys with the same uniform number. And I get it, you think Urlacher was great (he was).

Just not anymore, so it’s certainly good to see it end the way it did. Too bad he couldn’t have just decided that himself near the end of the season. It would have avoided some unnecessary ugliness.

Musick: Wait, what is a QR code?

I should have paid more attention in college. And high school. And middle school. And elementary school. By the way, mark me down as a supporter for your Bears Hall of Fame proposal. Maybe Urlacher could be a tour guide. If not that, what should be his next career move?

Styf: They didn’t have QR codes when you were in high school, or college. And Urlacher needs to be in action movies, like Mean Joe Greene and Bubba Smith. Or he could be the new Hertz spokesman. I won’t mention what happened with the last football Hall of Famer they had doing that. Or he could teach elementary school. I’ve got kids. They’d probably listen to him a lot more than they listen to me. Think Arnold Swarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop, just a real teacher, not undercover.

Musick: “Dominiiic!!!” Sorry, couldn’t help it.

Styf: Back to the point, Urlacher and the Bears should enjoy his retirement. And they shouldn’t part ways.

Have him be a defensive assistant.

Or even a sideline reporter for Bears. com or whatever website the QR codes in their $10 gameday magazines (I don’t know how much they really cost) send you to. Just keep him a Bear. For good.

Rob Eastland wasn’t sure what his future held when he arrived in northern Illinois from his home in Portchester Fareham, England to play college soccer at Judson College. After his dreams of playing professional soccer overseas went unrealized, he found a second home in Johnsburg, where he coaches both varsity boys and girls soccer and where he and his wife run the Johnsburg White Lightning travel soccer program. On Saturday, Eastland guided the Skyhawks’ girls team to a fourth-place finish in the IHSA Class 1A state tournament, marking the first time in school history a Johnsburg team won a state medal.

I was the guy who almost made it. So what’s important for me is that kids don’t let anyone set their barriers – they’ve got to set their own standards and they’ve got to really go for their dreams. When you let someone else limit you, well then, it’s over. I learned some tough lessons as a player and as a coach and so it’s real easy to remember back and remember the important things of what you’re really playing for. We put that in the kids. We’re a little community and we’re such a small little area. But you can put fight in anyone if they want it.

We came into Johnsburg 10 years ago and I saw this small little community and a small little high school and I saw the development possibilities because everything fed into that high school. So me and my wife took over the club (team) and we started working with the 8s, 9s and 10s and those are the ones who just graduated this year.

The boys were conference champions and the girls finished down at state. Half of our [club] players go to Richmond-Burton and they had the success last year. I just feel like we’ve bred a generation of successful players. It’s been hard work and it’s been a lot of time on the practice field, but it was a time in our life we could do it. For a 10-year model of development, we could judge it in terms of plaques and trophies and conferences we’ve won, but to be honest with you, when we see the kids going on to that next stage of life, we just know they’re going to be successful in whatever they choose.

(Soccer) is one of those sports where you can get so many kids on the field and they all get the chance to touch the ball and join in and play and there’s a place for every sort of ability level because different positions need different types of players. It’s just one of those sports we see so many kids fall in love with. (My wife and I) started this journey together. We met at a soccer field and we both have the passion for the sport, so (the White Lightning) was a project we did together and look what we produced in the last 10 years. It’s something we can both turn around and say, ‘They feel like our kids.’

I think that’s where the significance is – when the relationship off the field has actually enhanced the relationship on the field.

When I go back to England and I sit around a table in a pub with my friends, we don’t get out our medals or accolades. We just talk about the memories and you realize that’s the important thing about the game, coaching that way makes it easier because kids will chase memories a lot more than they’ll chance trophies.

I think that’s what we try to impress on them.

IHSA CLASS 1A GIRLS SOCCER STATE TOURNAMENT

Johnsburg girls soccer team finishes 4th in state

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com NAPERVILLE – All season, there had never been any quit in the Johnsburg girls soccer team.

So it only made sense that the Skyhawks would have to fight from behind in their final game. But after drawing even with Alton Marquette once Saturday, a second comeback rally fell short in a 2-1 loss in the IHSA Class 1A consolation game at North Central College.

Carolyn Hoefert’s goal with 12:43 remaining proved to be the game-winner, ending Johnsburg’s historic run into the state tournament. The Skyhawks, who finished fourth, became the first Johnsburg team in any sport to earn a state trophy.

Scoreboard Saturday’s results Alton Marquette 2, Johnsburg 1 (Third place) Quincy Notre Dame 2, Chicago F.W. Parker 1 (Championship) Afterward, as players embraced with medals hanging around their necks from red, white and blue ribbons, the finality of the moment sank in and tears started to flow. But in time, Skyhawks’ captains Abbie Ullrich and Olivia Jansen said, the bigger picture will come into focus.

“For the seniors, it was a really good way to go out as a final memory of high school,” said Jansen, who tied the game at 1 just under nine minutes

PREP ROUNDUP

Marengo takes softball regional title The Marengo softball team captured its seventh straight regional title Saturday with a 4-2 win over Burlington Central in the Class 3A Sycamore Regional championship.

The Indians (28-9) scored three runs in the top of the sixth and added another in the seventh for the comeback win.

Bethany Hart struck out seven in the win, with Rebecca Schultz driving in two runs.

The Indians face Rosary in the Rochelle Sectional semifinal at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Class 3A Woodstock North Regional: At Woodstock, top seed Wauconda defeated third seed Woodstock North, 5-0, in the regional championship.

Paige Busch and Marissa Thompson each went 1 for 3 for the Thunder (7-17).

BASEBALL Class 3A Burlington Central Regional: At Burlington, top seed Hampshire fell to second seed Burlington Central, 6-1, in the regional championship.

Brandon Bowen scored a run for the Whip-Purs (14-16), with Andrew Brown adding four strikeouts.

into the second half. “All we wanted was to have 80 more minutes on the field with each other.

“That’s kind of what our mentality was throughout the playoffs – we didn’t care what was at the end of the road, we just wanted to be together.”

So perhaps, it was appropriate that after the loss the Skyhawks walked across the field, hand-in-hand and took one final bow for their fans, commemorating their accomplishment.

Johnburg, which finished 14-8, trailed by a goal at halftime after Marquette’s Kate Sanfilippo provided the Explorers with an early lead.

Despite not registering many chances, Johnsburg kept pushing, believing it was only a matter of time before their offense settled into a groove.

Jansen appeared to shift the mo-

mentum into the Skyhawks’ favor.

Delaney Pruitt delivered a perfect crossing pass to Jansen, who fired a shot into the right corner of the net, tying the score at 1.

Once even, Johnsburg coach Rob Eastland figured it was only a matter of time before his team struck again.

“I’d be foolish to say we couldn’t come back because we’ve done it all year,” he said. “I think the girls don’t know how to lose without trying.

They just enjoy playing the game.”

But the goal Johnsburg hoped would come to give them a lead never materialized. Marquette kept taking its chances but was unable to finish before Hoefert took a pass from Sanfilippo and drilled a shot past a diving Kelsey Stefka for the game-winner.

From there, it was just a matter of

the Explorers hanging on.

“They were really tough and once we got that goal, it was just us dropping back and (saying), ‘We can’t give up another goal,’” Hoefert said. “It wasn’t like our momentum dropped (after Johnsburg scored), but we just knew we had to play even harder.”

True to form, though, Johnsburg didn’t give up. Even though the Skyhawks weren’t able to complete the comeback, they left the field understanding the significance of what this season means – not only to them, but to the school where their fourth place trophy will host special significance.

“This is amazing we came here,” Ullrich said. “I’m not sad we lost by any means – we’re fourth in the state.

I’m just sad I’m losing my team. I made family on this team.”

Players to celebrate by shaving coach Murray’s head • JACOBS Continued from page C1 But the accomplishment came at a price for Murray, who told his players they could shave his head if they won the regional title. As they celebrated with the championship plaque, Murray walked away and said, “Well, there goes my hair.”

“It’s a great day to be a Golden Eagle,” Murray said.

Jacobs did most of its offensive damage in the first three innings when it touched up Barrington starter Scott Nelson for eight runs.

Conzelman accounted for a big share with his five RBIs to go along with run-scoring hits by Grant Kale, Matt Hickey and Ben Murray.

The early run support was plenty for Ledinsky, who scattered six hits over seven innings and who settled in after allowing a pair of runs in the second inning. Ledinsky worked ahead of hitters for much of the day, blending a fastball and curve and never facing much trouble.

“Between innings two and six, I was in a groove,” said Ledinsky, who struck out three and walked only one in the victory. “I felt like

“I think we could do some damage in this tournament.

The bats are starting to get going, and we’ve had great pitching all year.

Jacobs defeated Barrington 9-3.

Nick Ledinsky Jacobs baseball player I couldn’t be hit, really. I felt really good.”

Greg Sidor’s RBI single in the fifth inning gave Ledinsky even more to work with until the seventh, when Jake Petersen finished off Barrington’s scoring with a twoout RBI single. But after Ledinsky got Joey Sciaccotta to ground out on a comebacker to the mound, Jacobs’ capped its regional title, celebrating with a pile-up near where Ledinsky fielded the final out.

But the Golden Eagles don’t feel like they’re done yet.

“I think we could do some damage in this tournament,” Ledinsky said. “The bats are starting to get going, and we’ve had great pitching all year. The bats haven’t been there, and now they’re starting to get here, and I think we could be a lethal team.”

BASEBALL: CLASS 3A WOODSTOCK REGIONAL

BOYS TRACK AND FIELD: STATE NOTES

McHenry’s Ford 5th in pole vault

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – McHenry’s day at the IHSA Boys Track and Field State Meet got off to a crummy start but ended with a thrilling finish.

The Warriors’ 4x800-meter relay team was poised for a possible top-five finish, but leadoff runner Evan Hying was bumped and fell in his second lap, knocking the Warriors out of medal contention.

Senior Will Ford delighted his teammates later inside Lantz Fieldhouse – the pole vault and high jump were moved inside because of rain – when he cleared his personal best by 9 inches, making 15 feet to take fifth in that event.

Ford, likely vaulting for the last time in his life, got on a serious roll. He missed at 13-6, then cleared every height until 15-3 on his first attempt. He missed three times at 15-3 for fifth place.

“This is my last track meet – I’m going to the University of Denver and they don’t have a track team,” Ford said. “I wanted to leave it all out there and take this all in. It’s a great way to end the season.”

Ford said he made an adjustment this week when he planted his pole and looked above the bar instead of at the bar as he swung his legs up.

“I couldn’t do it without [assistant coach] Mike Quinnett,” Ford said. “There’s no better coach to put up with me for four years.”

The Warriors’ 4x800 relay team of Hying, Calvin Quarterman, Nick Shawler-Clapper and John Konstantelos thought it could be right in contention in that race but never got the chance. Hying was bumped during the first lap and almost fell. He was bumped again during the second lap and fell on the synthetic turf at Eastern

Illinois University’s O’Brien Stadium. The Warriors finished 12th in 8:15.54.

“I feel bad I didn’t give the others a chance to run,” Hying said. “It happens. I think [a runner] bumped into me and I stepped on the rail and went down. The next thing I know, I’m on the ground and any chance for a medal is crushed.”

Hying was on the turf for a couple of seconds, then got up and finished his leg.

“I was excited because he was making a move,” Quarterman said. “That’s part of racing, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. We could definitely run with those guys, that’s what makes it so tough I suppose.”

Tough finish: Huntley’s Justin Herbert dealt with disappointment Saturday when he was 10th in the discus at 153-4, an inch from ninth place. Mainly, Herbert was upset because he had been throwing in the 160-foot range in recent weeks.

“Everyone I talked to says to appreciate the fact that I’m here and I’m one of the best throwers in the state,” Herbert said.

“This wasn’t what I was aiming for. I thought I could be in the top five.”

Herbert committed to EIU in the fall, but decommitted this spring and signed with Western Illinois University.

Annual text: Jacobs assistant coach Kevin Christian sent the text at some time around 11:30 a.m. Saturday to Evan Jager, David Arndt, Mike Connolly and Aaron Russo: Their 2006 race of 7:40.02 is still the fastest in state meet history.

Jager, a junior that year, ran the 4x800 relay instead of the 3,200. Every year Christian texts the four former Golden Eagles from the state meet to let them know they are still No. 1. Jager finished sixth in the steeplechase during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

R-B adds to regional title streak

Members of the Jacobs softball team leave the field Saturday after a 12-2 loss to DeKalb in the Class 4A Jacobs Regional final.

CLASS 4A JACOBS REGIONAL

‘Magic ran out’ Underdog Jacobs falls to DeKalb in final

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Seeded fifth in its own softball regional, Jacobs wasn’t expected to make a deep postseason run.

Yet after one inning in the Class 4A Jacobs Regional final against No. 2 DeKalb, the Golden Eagles built momentum with a 2-0 lead. The hard-hitting Barbs weren’t going to watch their season end without a fight, however, and came out swinging in the second inning. DeKalb got three two-out hits, leading to five runs in the second, and added six more runs in the third in a 12-2 victory in five innings against Jacobs to win the regional title.

“I told our girls that we exceeded a lot of expectations this week, and that’s all you can do: play above what people think,” Jacobs coach Jeremy Bauer said. “That’s a real testament to your team and perseverance. Unfortunately

Scoreboard Saturday’s championship DeKalb 12, Jacobs 2 the magic ran out.”

DeKalb (22-8) didn’t waste much time answering after Jacobs (18-15) took a two-run lead. Every batter hit in the five-run second, but the big inning nearly didn’t happen.

Battling a small strike zone that both teams endured, Jacobs starting pitcher Kelsey Peters was a strike away from escaping a bases loaded, twoout situation.

However, DeKalb drew a bases-loaded, full-count walk to bring in a run and on the ensuing pitch, freshman Morgan Newport cleared the bases with a double to put the Barbs ahead, 4-2. Junior Lindsey Costlow followed with a run-scoring double to cap their five-run inning.

DeKalb starting pitcher Katie Kowalski settled down

after Jacobs scored two runs in the first, not allowing a hit in the final four innings. A tight strike zone led to plenty of walks for both teams, which combined for 13 walks in five innings.

“It did become a factor in the game, I’m not going to lie to you about that,” Bauer said of the strike zone. “Both pitchers had to work through it. It was consistent, I will say that, but it was tough for the pitchers to get into a rhythm and find what they needed to find.”

Offensively, Jacobs appeared patient to start the game, the first two batters of the game reaching on a walk and single. Senior Nicky Chapa drove in the first run on a ground out and Emily Borg’s two-out bloop single scored another run.

But the Golden Eagles managed to get only three on base (all walks) the rest of the game with one advancing into scoring position.

BASEBALL: CLASS 4A McHENRY REGIONAL

Wolves take title, diplomas

By JON STYF jstyf@shawmedia.com

Clark Brooks – For the Northwest Herald

Woodstock’s Tyler Parsons competes Saturday in the Class 2A 110-meter high hurdles finals during the state meet in Charleston. He took sixth.

Woodstock’s Parsons, CLC’s Mosher medal • STATE Continued from page C1 McHenry’s Will Ford cleared a career-best 15 feet for fifth in the Class 3A pole vault, and Central’s Isaiah Mosher was eighth in the Class 3A 100.

Woodstock’s Tyler Parsons took sixth in the Class 2A 110 high hurdles.

Kaht ran with Miller and Pontiac’s Shawn Milhauser out front for most of the race.

Miller took off in the final 300 meters, but Kaht remained comfortably in second place.

“It was amazing. It felt so different in front, I wondered where everybody else was,” Kaht said. “We both started going around 300 meters [remaining] and I couldn’t keep up.”

Baker ran a solid tactical race for the most part, but left wanting a little more. He finished fourth in 4:14.66.

“My only regret is that I should have gone earlier,” Baker said. “It’s a very good place, but I should have reacted faster. I didn’t know if I should have went or saved it. I felt like I had a little left at the end.”

St. Ignatius’ Jack Keelan won the 1,600 in 4:12.11, completing the distance triple crown of Class 3A cross country, 3,200 and 1,600 titles.

Reiser ran his career-best

9:05.40 to take seventh in the 3,200. He also was seventh in Class 3A state cross country.

“I knew it was going to go out crazy,” Reiser said. “I’m very happy with that time, that’s what we were going for.”

Hurley wanted to throw farther in both events, but still earned two medals in his first trip to state. He threw 55-3¼ in shot put and 163-3 in discus, both in the preliminaries.

“I’m excited about that,” Hurley said. “I was looking to throw my seed [176-0 in discus].”

Mosher did not qualify for state last year when he was bothered by a left knee injury and appreciated his state experience.

“These guys are extremely talented runners, and this was my first time here as an individual,” Mosher said. “I wouldn’t trade anything here.

It’s all part of the learning experience.”

Parsons said he just tried to keep thinking about fundamentals of driving his left (hurdle) leg, sprinting between hurdles and snapping his trail arm. He ran 15.12 to place sixth.

“It’s still not in the 14s, but I’m really happy,” Parsons said. “I finally placed in state.

It was sixth. I’d have been happy with ninth today, so I’m more than happy with that.”

McHENRY – The McHenry baseball team had fallen five runs behind Prairie Ridge in a game this season.

For a similar reason, in a similar inning, in a similar game.

This time, however, the Wolves weren’t about to let them back in it.

Prairie Ridge added an insurance run apiece in the next two innings as Wolves pitcher Mike Reitcheck survived his only hiccup in the fifth inning and led his team to a 7-3 win in the Class 4A McHenry Regional at Petersen Park.

Reitcheck and his fellow seniors grabbed the regional trophy, then circled up and received the diplomas they couldn’t stick around for when No. 2-seeded Prairie Ridge (25-11) held graduation earlier Saturday.

On May 11, McHenry rallied from a 5-0 deficit for a 14-8 win against Prairie Ridge,

Scoreboard Saturday’s championship (2) Prairie Ridge 7, (4) McHenry 3

“It gave me some time to catch my breath,” he said of the Wolves’ five-run second inning.

Mike Hallstrom started the big inning with a double.

Colin Rempert had an RBI single, Matt Furst hit an RBI sacrifice bunt, and Austin Covers added a two-out, tworun single to center field as his Prairie Ridge teammates sat in the dugout and chanted non-words in a similar fashion to the “Finding Nemo” fish bowl scene.

“We just really tried to get loud and get in his head, and it worked,” Hallstrom said.

Rempert finished 2 for 3 with two RBIs, Covers was 2 for 4 with two RBIs and Danny Pecoraro scored two runs.

Reitcheck allowed six hits and struck out four in the win.

“He’s been this good all year,” Prairie Ridge coach Glen Pecoraro said. “He did a nice job the last couple innings being more efficient and keeping his pitch count down.”

Prairie Ridge will face Dundee-Crown, which it split a pair of regular season games against, in Wednesday’s Huntley Sectional semifinals with Jacobs meeting Hononegah in the other half of the bracket Thursday.

Fourth-seeded McHenry (23-15), playing in its first regional final since 2007, scored its runs in the fifth when catcher Cody Freund hit an RBI double and then scored on a Reitcheck wild pitch.

“We hadn’t won a regional game since I’ve been here, so to win two this year was a big step,” Freund said.

WOODSTOCK – Richmond-Burton pitcher Ryne Blanton is a three-year varsity player who has made his biggest contributions when needed most.

Dating to last season, the senior has earned five wins for the Rockets in the postseason, including Saturday’s 10-5 win over Woodstock in the Class 3A Woodstock Regional final. The Rockets move on to face Wauconda in Thursday’s Grayslake Central Sectional semifinal.

“He’s a gamer,” Rockets coach Mike Giese said. “He’s pitched and won some really big games for us, and he came up big for us again.”

Blanton pitched all seven innings while allowing nine hits and five runs, although just two were earned. He also struck out eight while walking two.

The senior found a rhythm early in the game and pitched at a quick clip. Once he caught the ball from the catcher after a pitch, he toed the rubber and started his motion to throw again. His fast pace kept him in a zone on the mound and helped him to relax and work through any jams.

“I like to work fast,” Blanton said. “I’m the most comfortable then, and I think it gives the hitters less time to stand around and try to guess what pitch I’m going to throw next.”

The No. 3-seeded Blue Streaks (7-17) scored two runs in the top of the first to grab an early lead when Jacob Ellegood singled home Andy Buhrow and Eric Bell after they reached on an error and a double, respectively.

Blanton settled into a groove and limited Woodstock to just three more runs.

“You have to give Blanton credit,” Woodstock coach John Oliveira said. “He’s a rhythm guy, and he was able to keep that even with runners on. He pitched well.”

The No. 1-seeded Rockets (17-10) scored four runs in the first after sending seven batters to the plate and added six more runs between the third and sixth innings, handing Buhrow the loss. R-B leadoff hitter Jake Tiso and Blanton each scored three runs and reached base three times.

Saturday’s win marked the third consecutive regional title for the Rockets, who are finding their stride and starting to put together good, complete games at the right time.

“It feels good to get this win,” Giese said. “Our bats haven’t been going lately, but today we hit much better. We believe that hitting is a mentality, and we’ve been able to come in and be focused and aggressive (in the postseason).”

Dundee-Crown stuns Huntley for championship

By CHRIS BURROWS cburrows@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Vince Damato’s fearless approach was unconventional.

Faced with one of the area’s most explosive lineups, Dundee-Crown’s junior pitcher didn’t shrink away from the strike zone – he attacked.

Damato exuded confidence, put the burden on batters to not make mistakes and led his second-seeded Chargers to a shutout victory over top-seeded Huntley, 3-0, to win the Class 4A DeKalb Regional Championship on Saturday.

Huntley Sectional semifinals.

“Make them hit the ball and make them work to get on base,” Damato said of his game plan. “You can’t just give them walks, and you can’t work around them. You have to make them hit the ball.”

The Red Raiders (25-7) downed D-C twice during the regular season by a combined

score of 20-5.

The regional title is the first for the Chargers (10-18) since 2011, when they defeated Huntley for the crown.

Damato’s complete-game shutout included one walk and one strikeout.

“We weren’t able to get anything going at the plate,” Huntley junior Mark Skonieczny said. “He kept us on our front foot, and good for him.”

D-C sent a message early that Huntley would pay for its mistakes when senior Luis Garcia reached first base on a throwing error. He advanced on another throwing error, and senior Trent Muscat drove him home to give D-C a 1-0 lead

in the second inning.

In the fourth inning, Damato knocked in senior Ryan Suwanski, who had reached on his second hit of the game, and in the fifth inning junior Zach Girard drove in junior Fabian Gutierrez on a blooper to short center field for the final run.

“We’re all shocked,” Skonieczny said. “We expected to come out here and play tough today, and we just couldn’t get anything going offensively. We played hard, we fought hard, and things just didn’t go our way today.”

Huntley pitcher Eric Luecht fanned seven, walked none and was charged with two runs on five hits.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Blackhawks’ top guns reunite on top line

By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – After mixing and matching players throughout the Blackhawks’ second-round series against the Detroit Red Wings, Joel Quenneville decided to put three of his top players together.

Why not?

The Hawks had nothing to lose by combining Patrick Sharp, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane on the top line.

All told, the talented trio has

combined for 515 goals in their NHL careers.

“They’ve played [together] in the past, and they’ve played [together] during the year, a few shifts here and there,” Quenneville said Saturday before the Hawks hosted the Wings in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals. “I think they like playing with one another.”

Kane confirmed Quenneville’s hunch.

“For us, we played a lot together my first couple years in

the league and kind of developed some chemistry where it was pretty instant and we had a lot of offensive chances,” Kane said. “I think we’ve just got to remember how to play with each other. We haven’t done it in a while.”

For Kane, the move came with little to no downside. The Hawks’ second line to start the game consisted of Bryan Bickell, Michael Handzus and Marian Hossa, while the team’s third line included Brandon Saad, Andrew Shaw and Vik-

tor Stalberg.

On the fourth line, Marcus Kruger centered for Michael Frolik and Dave Bolland.

“I think there’s so much depth on the team you don’t have to really worry about [the downside],” Kane said. “I still like the lineup up and down, for sure.”

Chipping in: Although Toews, Hossa and others have drawn scrutiny for their lack of offensive production in the series, the Hawks’ blue-liners said they also deserved part of the

blame.

Hawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said he could do more to create offense.

“As defensemen, I think we can do a better job giving the forwards the puck quicker and in better situations,” Hjalmarsson said, “and just try to push as much as we can to get some goals.”

Quenneville agreed but said his defensemen should not sacrifice their primary job for offense.

“We’ve had some games

where we’ve probably been more active than other games,” Quenneville said of his defensemen. “We’d like to see more involvement as we go along here.

But defending is what the priority is back there, and that’s their job, and that’s what we encourage first.”

Hawks bits: Quenneville also changed his defensive pairings, reuniting Brent Seabrook with Duncan Keith. … Seabrook earned more ice time in the first two periods of Game 5 than he did in all of Game 4.

Shaw’s play ‘gets under people’s skin’ Hawks Insider BLACKHAWKS 4, RED WINGS 1 Tipping point: The Blackhawks’ power-play unit had scored only one goal in 13 attempts during the series, but Andrew Shaw improved that statistic with a go-ahead goal on the man advantage in the second period.

Shaw camped in front of the net and deflected a shot by Duncan Keith for the goal, which gave the Hawks a 2-1 lead less than four minutes after the Red Wings tied the game.

Lamplighters: Bryan Bickell scored his fourth goal of the playoffs by chasing down a loose puck in the first period. Shaw scored his second and third goals of the playoffs, while Hawks captain Jonathan Toews finally scored his first goal during a power play late in the second period.

Between the pipes: Corey Crawford stopped 25 of 26 shots to improve to 6-4 in the playoffs.

Crawford also had luck on his side as Detroit forward Pavel Datsyuk hit the left post in the second period.

Under the radar: The Hawks improved to 8-2 in Game 5 matchups with Joel Quenneville as head coach. During those games, the Hawks have outscored their opponents, 39-20.

• MUSICK Continued from page C1 “I never nap,” Shaw said with a shrug. “I just feel like I get enough sleep at night.”

Well, maybe not Saturday night.

After all, how could Shaw wind down and fall asleep a couple of hours after he stood in front of the Wings’ net and deflected a shot past Jimmy Howard to seize a 2-1 lead? Shaw absorbed all kinds of punishment from Wings defenders Niklas Kronwall (6-0, 190 pounds) and Jonathan Ericsson (6-4, 221) as he parked in front of the crease, but somehow he managed to hold his ground and redirect the crucial power-play goal to break a tie score.

A second after Shaw scored, Kronwall slashed him and Ericsson knocked him down. Perfect.

Imagine how angry those two big Wings were one period later as Shaw swooped behind the net and stuffed the puck past Howard for his second goal of the game and his third of the playoffs.

“My play gets under people’s skin,” Shaw said. “Finishing every check. Giving them little whacks here and

there. Going to the net. Not everyone likes that.”

No kidding.

But doesn’t Shaw ever de-program? Is he always such a nuisance?

“I de-program when it’s just me and my girl,” Shaw said. “But when I’m with my buddies, it’s the same thing.

Video games, ping-pong, pool.

Anything. I just try to get under their skin a little bit.

“It’s just who I am. I hate losing, no matter what it is.”

No kidding.

All of this got me thinking.

Maybe being a pest and getting under opponents’ skin was like Shaw’s version of scoring goals. Maybe drawing slashes from defenders and swear words from the opposing bench was more fun for him than imitating one of his top-line teammates and firing a puck into the net.

Shaw shook his head sideways. This time, I was the one being weird.

“Goals feel a lot better,” he said.

Fair enough.

Two goals must feel great.

Gay soccer player Rogers joins Galaxy

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Robbie Rogers is joining the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer in another step by openly gay athletes in professional sports.

He told The Associated Press his fears about returning to soccer were eased by the strong support he received from family, fans and players, including Galaxy star Landon Donovan. Now Rogers is ready to accept his role as the league’s first openly gay player.

“I don’t know what I was so afraid of,” Rogers said Friday.

“It’s been such a positive experience for me. The one thing I’ve learned from all of this is being gay is not that big of a deal to people.”

“People are just really growing and accepting and loving,” he added. “Those other things are just not that important to

them. I think as the younger get older and the generations come and go, I think times are just becoming more accepting.”

The 26-yearold player Robbie Rogers had retired in February on the same day the former U.S. national team player publicly came out in a blog post.

Last month, NBA veteran Jason Collins came out, and Rogers spoke with Collins on the day of the center’s announcement.

“I would have thought more athletes would have taken that step, I guess,” Rogers said.

“People have seen how accepting everyone has been of Jason’s and my story. I think it’s going to take just more time and more athletes coming out.

It’s all about seeing that it’s not something to be afraid of.

It’s not going to hurt your career.”

U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe came out last year before the London Olympics and plays for Lyon in France.

She’s expected to join the Seattle team of the new National Women’s Soccer League in mid-June.

Brittney Griner, the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft by the Phoenix Mercury, and Seimone Augustus of the Minnesota Lynx are among that league’s openly gay players. Sheryl Swoopes, a retired WNBA AllStar, came out in 2005 during her playing days.

CHICAGO – Conor Gillaspie hit a run-scoring single in the ninth inning to score Dewayne Wise, lifting the White Sox to a 2-1 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday night.

Derek Dietrich homered in the top of the ninth to spoil Jake Peavy’s shutout bid, but in the bottom half, Gillaspie drove in Wise – who had come in as a defensive replacement – to give the Sox their eighth win in 11 games.

Peavy (6-2) struck out five and allowed six hits in the complete-game effort, his longest outing of the season.

Ryan Webb (1-3) gave up Gillaspie’s single to take the loss for Miami, which dropped its fourth straight and 11th in the last 13 games.

Alexei Ramirez gave the Sox a 1-0 lead with an RBI double in the third. Juan Pierre mishandled the ball in the left-field corner – but wasn’t charged with an error – allowing Alejandro De Aza to score from first.

Ricky Nolasco allowed one

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL May 26 1916 — Benny Kauff of the Giants was picked off first base three times by Boston’s Lefty Tyler.

The miscues didn’t hurt as New York won its 14th consecutive road victory beating the Braves, 12-1.

1925 — In Detroit’s 8-1 win over the White Sox, Ty Cobb became the first to collect 1,000 career extra-base hits. He finished his career with 1,139.

1997 — Cubs’ Sammy Sosa and the Pirates’ Tony Womack hit inside-the-park homers in the sixth inning of the Cubs’ 2-1 win. It was the first time two inside-the-park homers had been hit in the same inning in 20 years.

run and eight hits and struck out six in 72/3 innings for Miami but couldn’t earn his second consecutive win after beating Arizona on May 19.

The Marlins right-hander has allowed two runs over his last two starts.

With his home run, Dietrich reached base for the 14th straight game to start his career, which is second in Marlins history behind Kevin Millar’s 17 games in 1999.

In the eighth, Peavy allowed a one-out double to Greg Dobbs and walked Adeiny Hechavarria but escaped the inning by getting Rob Brantly to pop out and Juan Pierre to fly out.

Peavy, who lost his previous start at the Angels on May 19, giving up four runs in six innings, had no such problems

Next for the Sox

BOSTON – Pinch-hitter Mike Carp drove in the tying run with an eighth-inning double and then scored on a double by Dustin Pedroia as the Boston Red Sox rallied for a 7-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday.

The Red Sox scored four times off reliever Vinnie Pestano (1-1), who took over with Cleveland leading 4-3 in the eighth.

Junichi Tazawa (4-2) struck out two in a hitless eighth and Andrew Bailey got three outs for his sixth save in seven chances.

Boston starter Jon Lester struck out a season-high eight in seven innings.

Orioles 6, Blue Jays 5: At Toronto, Danny Valencia hit a two-run homer and Adam Jones added a solo shot to help Baltimore beat R.A. Dickey and Toronto.

The Orioles won for the fourth time in five games following a season-long, sixgame losing streak.

Twins 3, Tigers 2: At Detroit, Joe Mauer homered and had three hits, helping Minnesota snap a 10-game losing streak with a victory over Detroit.

The Twins scored three runs in the first, and that was enough. P.J. Walters (10) went six innings, allowing two runs and eight hits.

Angels 7, Royals 0: At Kansas City, Mo., Josh Hamilton and Hank Conger homered to back Billy Buckner’s first major league win since 2009, and Los Angeles beat Kansas City for its seventh straight victory.

The resurgent Angels have outscored opponents 5418 during their longest winning streak of the season.

Yankees 4, Rays 3 (11 inn.): At St. Petersburg, Fla., Lyle Overbay homered with two outs in the 11th inning, and

New York rallied late to beat Tampa Bay. Overbay drilled a 1-0 pitch from Josh Lueke (0-2) into the right field seats to give New York the lead.

Mariano Rivera pitched a perfect 11th inning for his 18th straight save to start the season.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Giants 6, Rockies 5 (10 inn.): At San Francisco, Angel Pagan became the first San Francisco player to end a game with an inside-thepark homer, connecting with a runner aboard in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Giants a thrilling victory over Colorado.

The last major leaguer to hit an inside-the-park home run that ended a game was Rey Sanchez for Tampa Bay on June 11, 2004 – also in a 10-inning victory over Colorado, according to STATS. The previous Giants player to do it was Hall of Famer Bill Terry on Aug. 24, 1931, when the club was in New York. His drive beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1, STATS said.

Pirates 5, Brewers 2: At Milwaukee, Pedro Alvarez hit two home runs, Andrew McCutchen also went deep, and Jeff Locke pitched six shutout innings to lead Pittsburgh over Milwaukee.

Neil Walker added a solo home run for the Pirates, who won for a second time in Milwaukee this season. They are 9-47 at Miller Park since 2007.

Braves 7, Mets 5 (10 inn., completion of susp. game): At New York, Dan Uggla hit an RBI single in the 10th inning soon after a suspended game resumed, and Atlanta beat New York for its seventh straight win.

Friday night’s game was halted because of rain after eight innings with the score 5-all.

Saturday until the ninth. Facing a Miami team that entered play hitting .221, Peavy was only threatened during the second and eighth before Dietrich’s home run.

Nolasco was also strong.

After Gillaspie singled in the fourth, Nolasco retired nine straight until Jeff Keppinger’s infield single with one out in the seventh.

Keppinger, who drove in the winning run Friday in the 11th inning, went 2 for 3 and is hitting .434 (10 for 23) over his past seven games. Gillaspie also had three hits.

Alex Rios went 0 for 4, snapping his 18-game hitting streak, which had been the longest in the American League this season.

Miami, which hit into three double plays Friday, had its first scoring chance in the second when Justin Ruggiano grounded into one with no outs. Marcell Ozuna and Chris Coghlan had singled, but Miami didn’t score after the double play and Greg Dobbs’ strikeout. With the single, Ozuna extended his hitting streak to 10 games.

CINCINNATI – Travis Wood’s impressive streak of quality starts ended with another disappointment against his former team.

This one stung a little bit more.

Todd Frazier drove in a pair of runs Saturday with a sacrifice fly and a single off Wood, and the Cincinnati Reds used another big inning to beat the Cubs, 5-2, their season-high sixth straight loss.

The Cubs are last in the NL Central at 18-30, a season-worst 12 games under .500. They have their longest losing streak since they dropped seven straight in September. And they can’t find a way to beat the Reds, who have won 16 of the past 18 games in their series.

“This team has some big boys, veterans out on the field, and their pitching is some of the best in baseball,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. “It’s tough to score on them. We’re in all the games, but you can’t add on or score on their bullpen.”

They’ve run into a team off to its best start since 1995. The Reds have won 13 of their past 16 overall, surging to 31-18.

Cincinnati scored four times in the sixth off Wood (4-3), who fell to 0-2 in four career starts against his former team.

“It’s not tougher to pitch against them,” Wood said.

“It’s tougher to take when they beat you like that.”

Homer Bailey (3-3) gave up a pair of runs in six innings to a lineup that rarely has a big inning. Aroldis Chapman had a perfect ninth for his 12th save in 14 chances, hitting 100 mph with one pitch that sailed to the backstop.

The Reds won the first two

Next for the Cubs Cubs at Cincinnati, 12:10 p.m.

Sunday, CSN, AM-720 games of the series in front of sell-out crowds. The Reds are 19-5 against the Cubs over the last two seasons, including 7-1 this year.

Cincinnati won the series opener, 7-4, on Friday with a five-run fourth inning that featured Ryan Hanigan’s three-run homer. The catcher doubled home a run during Cincinnati’s four-run sixth inning on Saturday.

The Reds didn’t need any homers to pull away. Instead, they sent nine batters to the plate to stop Wood’s impressive streak. The left-hander had nine quality starts to open the season, the best such streak by a Cubs pitcher since Mordecai Brown had 11 in 1908, the last time they won the World Series.

“I lost it there in the sixth,” Wood said. “I didn’t get away from the game plan. As good as I was feeling, I kind of got out of whack.”

Frazier’s RBI single tied it at 2, and the Reds pulled off a suicide squeeze to take the lead. Brandon Phillips was on third when Derrick Robinson swung at the first pitch but failed to put the ball in play, then got the sign for the bunt.

“I’m not crazy about it,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “It’s taking a heck of a chance. A lot of bad stuff can happen. He executed it perfectly. Brandon left on time.”

The run put Bailey in line for the win. Hanigan’s double made it 4-2, and Cesar Izturis drove him home with a pinchhit single.

NASCAR: SPRINT CUP, COCA-COLA 600, 5 P.M. TODAY, FOX

Johnson chasing NASCAR history

By PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press

Takuma Sato of Japan removes his helmet following the final practice session for the Indianapolis 500 Friday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis.

INDYCAR: INDIANAPOLIS 500, 11 A.M. TODAY, ABC

Indy 500 could be better than 2012’s epic race

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – They raced 1-2-3 in line, trading the lead a whopping 15 times over the final, frantic 75 laps.

All three drivers had a lastlap plan in mind when they zipped past the white flag, and it was Takuma Sato who acted first with a bold move for the win.

Sato pulled out of line, dipped inside of Dario Franchitti and tried to pounce as they headed into the first turn. Scott Dixon watched and waited from third, figuring he was now in position to slingshot past both for the victory.

Instead, Sato and Franchitti nearly touched. Sato spun out and into the wall and Franchitti zipped to his third victory in one of the most dramatic Indianapolis 500 finishes in memory. Some even argued it was one of the greatest Indy 500s ever.

It sure won’t be easy to top on Sunday.

“I got a lot of comments from drivers in NASCAR and Formula One saying it was the best 500 they’d ever seen,” Franchitti said. “But I think this year will also be a very, close exciting race.”

The bar was certainly raised at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last year with 34 lead changes, passing throughout the field, Franchitti rallying from the back to win and three close friends of the late Dan Wheldon sweeping the podium. So perfect it could have been a Hollywood movie script.

But the IndyCar Series has given every indication this season that Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway could be another thriller.

The series is off to a terrific start this year with three winners in the first four races, and for the first time since 1991 none of the winners drive for the mighty Penske Racing or Chip Ganassi Racing teams.

Instead, it’s been three wins for resurgent Andretti Autosport and one for A.J. Foyt Racing, which celebrated Sato becoming the first Japanese driver to win an IndyCar race.

So steady this season, Sato goes into Sunday as the series

INDY 500 LINEUP Sunday, May 26 Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Car number in parentheses; all cars Dallara chassis) 1. (20) Ed Carpenter, Chevy, 2:37.3689 (228.762 mph).

points leader. And, he’ll start from the sixth row – right next to Franchitti and Dixon.

Sato, who calls last year’s race “an unforgettable day,” has the chance to give Foyt his first Indy 500 victory since Kenny Brack in 1999. Sato’s win at Long Beach last month was the first for the Foyt organization since 2002.

“We’re here for it. We are here aiming to win the 500, so there is no reason why we cannot,” Sato said. “Winning, I was so close last year.

Knowing that now, how to get there, what you need there, so it’s been a tremendous experience last year to hopefully I can translate it to... this year’s performance.”

The field is stacked, though, and has a pair of drivers trying to join the exclusive club of four-time winners.

Franchitti and Helio Castroneves are each vying to join Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears as the only four-time winners of the Indy 500, a feat that’s not been done since Mears’ 1991 victory.

“What an incredible opportunity for the fans to have not only one, but two guys trying to make history,” Castroneves said. “Forget about the names, forget about who it is. But imagine people who didn’t even see the last time when the guy won four times.”

They’ve got five Andretti Autosport cars standing in their way and two of them start from the front row.

Carlos Munoz, a 21-year-old Colombian making his IndyCar debut, will start second alongside Marco Andretti, who is once again considered a favorite but must overcome a curse that has limited his famous family to one win – Mario Andretti in 1969 – in 80 starts.

Andretti feels far more comfortable about his chances this year than he did last season, when he called the race “mine to lose.” Graham Rahal, the other half of the closest rivalry in the mild-mannered series, doesn’t consider his nemesis the favorite.

“Do I think it’s Marco’s race? No. Marco hasn’t led in the pack all week,” Rahal said.

“He just sits in the back and runs a big lap time and pits.”

CONCORD, N.C. – Jimmie Johnson is focused on chasing victory at the Coca-Cola 600. He says he’s not thinking about his championship legacy.

A win Sunday night would be Johnson’s fourth in NASCAR’s longest race, trailing only Darrell Waltrip’s five spring victories at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Johnson could also strengthen his series points lead with his third win this season as he chases his sixth Sprint Cup title. And a win would be a record seventh at Charlotte.

It’s a resume already worthy of NASCAR’s Hall of Fame – perhaps even in the running for NASCAR’s greatest driver – but that is not something the 37-year-old Johnson is ready to think about.

race gives him confidence for Sunday. His winning All-Star car is still in NASCAR’s technical section and the team couldn’t get it back in time to run in the 600.

“We have a lot to work from, but it’s still a new weekend,” Johnson said. “(The) race is much different than before. We feel like we have a good direction and we’ll see where things stack up at the end of the night on Sunday.”

NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France gave an update on the sport’s Gen-6 car, which was put in use this year and he says has brought tighter, closer racing to the tracks.

“That’s the hallmark of NASCAR,” France said. “We boldly say that. We don’t talk about that’s sort of part of it, that’s the steak on the plate for us. Our fans have come to expect us to deliver on that as much as possible.”

joined the series full time the next season.

Combine Johnson’s talent with Hendrick’s resources and the skill of crew chief Chad Knaus and “the rest is really history in what his career has been and the numbers that he has put up I think speak for themselves,” Gordon said.

Johnson’s numbers at Charlotte speak very loudly, too. He won three straight Coca-Cola 600s from 2003 through 2005, a stretch that also included victories in the fall races in 2004 and 2005.

Johnson won here in October 2009, tying Waltrip and Bobby Allison for the all-time mark of six Charlotte victories.

“How do I describe his career? Do we have that much time?” said Matt Kesenth, who leads the series with three victories this season.

Johnson believes his success in the non-points all-star

to it all,” Johnson said. “It’s very difficult to think about where I fit in while I’m still racing. I think of drivers’ careers ending mid 40s. I still have 10 years or so to even think about that.”

He’s got plenty of others thinking about it as Johnson’s milestones pile up. He captured his fourth Sprint Jimmie Johnson All-Star race at Charlotte last week, a record.

Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon, a fourtime Sprint Cup champion, called Johnson’s career phenomenal.

Johnson had won several off-road racing titles when Gordon backed him to team owner Rick Hendrick. Johnson drove his first Sprint Cup race for the team in 2001 and

“It’s stressful to leave your family, home and career. But Prairie Grove made it as seamless as possible.”

Patty Klop, Prairie Grove teacher and lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve

Employee engagement levels on rise Are you engaged? Not as in marriage. As in, are you engaged at work?

A new analysis by Lincolnshirebased Aon Hewitt finds that overall employee engagement and employees’ perceptions of their overall work experience continues to modestly improve.

Aon Hewitt’s annual study of more than 2,500 organizations representing 3.8 million employees found that employee engagement levels rose to 60 percent in 2012, up from 58 percent in 2011 and 56 percent in 2010.

The way employees perceive their overall work experience also improved in 2012.

Areas with the highest increases in employee perception scores were: Effective communication, up 7 percent; business unit/division leadership, up 6 percent; managing performance, up 5 percent; innovation, up 5 percent; and recognition, up 5 percent.

Engagement scores dropped in the areas of: Sense of accomplishment, down 3 percent; customers, down 3 percent; and organization reputation, down 2 percent.

“As global organizations grapple with competing pressures – demand for profitable growth, financial market volatility, political uncertainty and global shifts in workforce demographics – declining engagement levels may have negative, longerterm consequences on business performance,” said Dr. Ken Oehler, Aon Hewitt’s Global Engagement practice leader. “Engaging the right employees in the right behaviors is the critical ingredient in successfully managing through diverse economic conditions.”

Aon Hewitt’s analysis showed differences in engagement levels by job level and generation. Not surprisingly, executives and senior managers were the most engaged (66 percent), followed by middle managers, team leaders and supervisors. Professional employees, such as engineers, lawyers and nurses, had the lowest level of engagement globally, with only around 55 percent being engaged.

Substantial differences in engagement by generation were also identified. Baby boomers had the highest level of engagement, with 65 percent engaged, followed by Generation X (58 percent) and Millennials (55 percent).

“Employers should focus on improving advancement opportunities for their high potentials and the highly engaged,” said Lorraine Stomski, head of Aon Hewitt’s Leadership practice. “Placing these individuals in challenging stretch assignments will keep them motivated, and it will enable organizations to put their best talent in the most impactful positions. To excel in this area, managers should have more frequent career coaching conversations with their employees.”

Patty Klop runs a physical education class at Prairie Grove Junior High School in Prairie Grove Friday. Klop, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, nominated Prairie Grove School District 46 for the 2013 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award.

Citizen warrior Prairie Grove district a finalist for Freedom Award

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com PRAIRIE GROVE – Before Patty Klop, a Marine Corps reservist, was sent to Afghanistan in 2009, the Prairie Grove District 46 school community hosted a going away party, gave her cards and kind notes, and loaded her up with donated items to give to the people of Afghanistan.

“It’s stressful to leave your family, home and career,” Lt. Col. Klop said.

“But Prairie Grove made it as seamless as possible.”

This week the school district was named one of 30 finalists for the 2013 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. The school was selected from a pool of 2,899 employers nominated by National Guard and Reserve Service members, according to the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, a Department of Defense operational committee.

The Freedom award is the Department of Defense’s highest recognition for employers.

“It’s incredible,” Superintendent Lynette Zimmer said. “The district has always been supportive of those serving in the military.”

A national review board will select up to 15 of the 30 finalists for the 2013 Freedom Award later this summer.

“The 2013 Freedom Award finalists demonstrate the type of outstanding support our National Guard and Reserve Service members count on when answering the nation’s call to serve,” ESGR National Chair James

Patty Klop addresses her physical education class at Prairie Grove Junior High School in Prairie Grove on Friday.

Rebholz said in a press release.

“These employers recognize the valuable role they play in the lives of our citizen warriors; and in supporting these men and women, the finalists have made a critical contribution to our national security.”

Klop, 40, of Wauconda, has been deployed four times since she started working as a physical education teacher at the district in 2003. Each time, administrators, students, and

fellow teachers have gone out of their way to show their support.

Before leaving for Afghanistan, the district gave her two weeks of paid time off to visit family and prepare for the deployment. Administrators also had her help pick a longterm substitute to cover her classes, which include teaching physical education for students with disabilities.

8BUSINESS ROUNDUP Students pick winners in Stock Market Game HAMPSHIRE – After picking stocks that propelled them to the front of the class, students from Hampshire High School took first and third places in the spring semester of the Stock Market Game program’s online portfolio simulation.

The winning student teams competed in the high school level in their geographic region, beating out 101 other teams. Competition between student teams throughout Illinois drew to a close at the end of the spring session with the highest valued portfolios receiving awards.

Business teacher Amy Lutes and her winning team were recognized with certificates of award.

The Stock Market Game, an educational program of Econ Illinois, teaches students about the world of investments, helping them learn to research companies, make sound investment decisions and follow those investments over a number of weeks during the school year. Student teams begin with a virtual cash account, with which they create and manage a portfolio, which may include stocks, mutual funds and bonds.

Caring Paws looking for a few good dogs MCHENRY – Centegra Health System’s Caring Paws Program is looking for a few good dogs. Each year one million lives are touched by the comfort and healing of a therapy animal visit.

Centegra has offered animal assisted therapy for many years and is working to increase the number of patients visited by the furry friends.

The Caring Paws Program is offering an animal assisted therapy class from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 8 at Centegra Hospital – McHenry.

Participating dogs must have basic obedience skills and love meeting new people. Upon successful completion of the two-part program the handler and his or her dog will be eligible for national registration through the Pet Partners, a leading international resource for the human-animal bond.

Katherine Feuillan, coordinator of Animal Assisted Therapy at Centegra Health System, said studies have shown that animals can be a huge benefit in the healing process of patients.

The cost of the animalassisted therapy classes is $100. Attendance is required for participation in the evaluation. Registration and payment must be received by June 3. For more information or to register, call 815-7594334.

Sponsorships a win-win for organizations, business We are blessed in McHenry County to have a wealth of generous businesses that support our local nonprofit organizations.

Often our local nonprofit leaders graciously accept cash and supplies from local businesses, and in return the organization may display the name and logo of that business on the organization’s website, in a program book, or on the back of an athletic jersey.

This is a “win-win” situation: The business owner receives goodwill in the marketplace with the acknowledgement of their philanthropy, and the organization receives a contribution to support programming. However, it is important that nonprofit leaders understand the nature of this transaction and the special rules governing such payments.

Technically, this type of revenue is not a contribution; rather, it is considered a Qualified Sponsorship Payment (QSP) if it meets the

following criteria: 1. A payment by an entity engaged in a trade or business (the sponsor).

2. To a nonprofit organization.

3. Without an arrangement or expectation that the sponsor will receive any substantial return benefit.

Items 1 and 2 are easy enough to understand but item 3 requires clarification. Yes, you got it, this is a technical term that is defined by the Internal Revenue Service.

Typically a substantial return benefit is aggregated benefits provided to the sponsor in excess of 2 percent of the value of the sponsorship payment.

What does that mean? In a nutshell, you may accept sponsorship revenue in exchange for printing on an event program, athletic jersey, etc. The “ad” may include the sponsor’s name, address, business logo, Internet address, slogans, and valueneutral description of the sponsor’s goods or services without creating

NONPROFITS Nancy Gonsiorek substantial return benefit: • A value-neutral ad does not provide the dollar value of a sponsor’s products, nor would it contain a coupon for purchase.

• You may not provide any exclusive arrangements in exchange for a QSP, nor can you provide any endorsement of the sponsor’s product.

• You may display a sponsor’s product at your special event if you follow the substantial return benefit criteria, above.

I trust you can see the distinction here, between listing a business as a sponsor and selling advertising whereby the business is offering products for sale. It is important to meet the above criteria so that such transactions are considered a QSP rather than advertising revenue, the latter of which may be consid-

ered unrelated business income and therefore taxable to your organization. To the organization, a QSP is reported along with revenue from contributions.

A QSP is more favorable than a normal contribution to a forprofit business because it can be deducted in full without regard to contribution limits. That’s the key to making the QSP a winning relationship!

There is one last caveat for nonprofit leaders engaging in sponsorship relationships. Thank your sponsors, show your gratitude, proudly display their logo on your website, in your program books, etc.

But remember this cardinal rule: Sponsors are NOT partners.

I often observe nonprofit websites that dedicate a page to identify “Our Business Partners.” You may call this mincing words, but the IRS does not look kindly to any indication that a nonprofit could be in business with a for-profit entity.

Simply change “Business Partners” to “Generous Sponsors,” and you will enjoy the benefits of a successful relationship without any headaches!

My friends at Not-for-Profit Resources, Inc. (that’s the Volunteer Center at United Way) will be hosting a training program, “Social Media Options for Nonprofits: Build your Marketing Plan,” from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. June 18. Who doesn’t need help navigating the complexities of Facebook, Twitter, et al? You can register online at www.VolunteerMcHenryCounty.org.

Patty Klop gives instructions to her physical education class at Prairie Grove Junior High School. Klop, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, nominated Prairie Grove School District 46 for the 2013 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award.

• WARRIOR Continued from page D1 Klop served as a mortuary affairs officer in Afghanistan for six months in 2009, a trying job that included retrieving the bodies of military service members who died and returning the remains – expeditiously and respectfully – to the United States. The unit also draped the caskets in American flags and organized ramp ceremonies at stops on the way to Dover Air Force Base.

“We took care of our fallen,” she said. “It was extremely challenging – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.”

While Klop was in Afghanistan, students and teachers sent letters and cards with messages of support. They collected donated items and sent 10 boxes of good-will gifts to Klop, who gave them to local people in Afghanistan.

“I got tons of mail from the kids, which was great for morale,” she said. “It was really sweet.”

When Klop was in Iraq for part of 2005 and 2006, district teachers made a point to explain to students the reason for her absence.

One class sent her a laminated boy made of out construction paper, dubbed Flat Stanley. Klop took photos with Flat Stanley and sent them back to the school and wrote letters to the students about the character’s adventures.

While stationed at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, students wrote letters not only to Klop, but also to the injured soldiers recovering there.

Throughout Klop’s deployments, Zimmer and other school officials kept in touch with school news.

After each deployment, Klop returned to Prairie Grove with new lessons for the students from her experiences. She told students about the soccer team she befriended in Iraq and how grateful the Afghan students were to receive free backpacks.

“She really brings a lot back to the students,” Zimmer said.

ESGR will honor Freedom Award winners at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 26. Since 1996, 175 employers have earned the award. Semifinalists from Illinois included Heil, Heil, Smart & Golee, a property management company in Skokie, and Walgreen Co. in Deerfield.

Move or set family boundaries?

Dear Dave, I live outside Houston with my wife and our 9-month-old daughter. I’ve received a job offer from a company on the other side of the city that would pay, with bonuses, $25,000 a year more than I’m currently making. This would require moving to a new house and away from our extended family. My wife wants to move because my mom can be a little overbearing. I understand how she feels, but I’m not certain I want to move or take a new job. What’s your advice?

– David

Dear David, I’m not so sure this is a job change question as much as it is about the state of your relationships. I know it’s hard to keep the grandparents away when there’s a

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey baby in the house; that kind of goes with the territory.

But I can also understand how lots of unexpected visits and unsolicited advice can wear on a person.

If it were me, I wouldn’t change jobs just to run from something. My advice is to try setting boundaries in your relationships with your parents instead of installing geographical boundaries.

You might want to pick up a copy of Dr. Henry Cloud’s great book “Boundaries.”

Remember, your mom may not realize she’s intruding on your lives. This book is full of insight, and it will give you both some good advice on how to manage relationships

in a healthy, loving way.

Like I said, I really don’t feel this is a job-move issue.

I think you guys just need to establish some fair and reasonable emotional distance between yourselves and your family.

– Dave

Dear Dave, My husband and I are debt-free except for our mortgage, and we make $65,000 a year. At this point, we have only $17,000 left to pay on the house. We haven’t fully gotten into all the retirement planning you say should come before paying off your home. But with so little left on the house, should we attack this last bit of debt and pay it off as soon as possible?

We can have it done in five or six months.

– Nancy

Dear Nancy, I don’t see anything

wrong with going ahead and knocking out the house, especially if you’re that close to making it happen. Normally, the people I talk to still have $100,000 to $200,000 left on their mortgages. This is a little bit different story.

Usually, I’m pretty hardcore about sticking with the proper order while doing the Baby Steps. Even in my book “The Total Money Makeover,” I didn’t leave room for people to go ahead and pay off a tiny, little mortgage ahead of investing for retirement. But in this situation, I think that’s exactly what I’d do.

Top 10 Ways to Get Fired

By Beverly West, Monster Contributing Writer

one anyway -- and one month later when the cat was out of the bag, she was immediately let go.”

Most people start their jobs with the best of intentions, never thinking they could be fired. After all, that’s a fate reserved primarily for incompetents and workers caught with their hand in the company till, right? Wrong. You might not realize just how slippery the slope out the door can be.

To guard your job security, be sure to avoid the 10 common pitfalls on this checklist from Jennifer Star, a New York City-based corporate recruiter and trainer:

2. Being Indiscreet About Your Job Hunt

1. Lying on Your Job Application or Resume Tell the truth from the start, because you will be held responsible for the information you provide -- and your employer will check it. Generally, educational background checks can take up to a month after hire. “I recently had a candidate fired from a large financial company after being there for a month, because she lied about her educational background,” Star says.

“This woman did not need a degree for her editorial assistant position but said that she has

If you are in the market for a new job, don’t send your resume from your office computer, which most likely is monitored by IT. Assume your instant messages (IMs) and emails are fair game as well.

3. Gossiping You never know who is listening, and in cubeland, walls really do have ears. The safest bet? Keep gossip to yourself, and never repeat anything you hear. Winding up on the wrong side of the rumor mill can cost you more than somebody’s trust; it can mean your job.

4.TakingTooManyPersonalCalls Spending much of your work time orchestrating your own personal business usually results in being given an opportunity to spend all of your time on the phone on personal business -looking for a new job, Star warns.

5. Drinking at Work

One of the quickest ways to be shown the door is drinking too much at lunch and walking into a wall. Maintaining your own clarity is extremely important.

Staying on top of the mountain of details that go into making a business run smoothly requires focus -- and sobriety.

9. Alienating Your Coworkers

6. Surfing the Web Excessively

10. Pointing the Finger at Everyone but Yourself

Spending much of your workday cruising around cyberspace puts you just a point-and-click away from unemployment. And checking adult-oriented Web sites on the job is a definite no-no.

7. Becoming Romantically Involved with the Boss While it may make for great water-cooler discussion, a boss/ direct-report romance can easily end with someone out of a job.

(Hint: It’s usually not the boss.)

8. Forgetting to Double-Check Your Figures When working with numbers, scrutinize your work carefully.

One stray zero could make the difference between being employed and unemployed, advises Star.

Take ownership of your job. If you make a mistake, own up to it.

Don’t try to sweep your mistakes under the carpet -- or worse yet, blame somebody else -- because the truth will usually come back to bite you on the bottom line.

And nobody wants to trust or employ a liar, says Star.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - There is a good chance you will establish several enviable relationships in the year ahead. Look for people with whom you have interests in common.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will be adept at advancing your interests and those of others. This will be due to the unusually sharp nature of your perceptions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You’ll get the chance to adjust a troubling situation.

You’ll take the initiative to turn it into some-

thing acceptable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your financial picture should start to look more encouraging. Conditions are shifting in your favor, though you’ll have little control over them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Find an acceptable way to make your feelings known to someone you fancy. The allure might be mutual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- To take control over a frustrating matter, you need

gumption and grit. It’s time to step up or step off.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You can become an excellent salesperson if you truly believe in your product. If you’re sincere, you’ll be successful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your competency and flair in financial matters can be remarkable, if you put your mind to it.

Several opportunities will arise today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Com-

panions will find you especially appealing, if a bit mysterious. You won’t be aware of your charisma, but this will only add to the appeal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The secret to getting people to do your bidding is to make a direct appeal to their emotions.

Even though they might appear to resist, your friends really want to help.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When dealing with a new acquaintance, try to evaluate what lies beneath the surface. Still

waters run deep.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Some days, you conduct yourself so well that people can’t help but take notice. It could be one of those days, so be prepared to be in the spotlight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t inhibit your imagination, because your ideas could have wonderful, far-reaching effects.

You’re bringing your ‘A’ game.

A Diva gets down and dirty M

y daughter had to go to St. Louis this week for a business trip, so she asked if I would mind watching her little dog, Diva.

I was glad to oblige. Because Diva is so little trouble, it’s easy to forget she’s even in the house. She spends most of her day sleeping quietly in one of the spare bedrooms, and because she’s been trained to eat on demand from a bowl of food that’s always full, she doesn’t even come begging when we put something tasty on the table. She goes out early in the day to tend to her morning business and then finishes up whatever is left undone in the late afternoon. If you happen to be out until the early evening, she’ll keep her guns on safety until you get home.

Diva is one of those small, fluffywhite mixed breeds that have become a breed all their own. Her mother was a Shih Tzu mixed with a poodle, and so was her father. My daughter calls her a shih-tza-poo, which sounds a bit redundant but somehow fitting.

And I have to admit the name Diva fits her perfectly. When a raccoon strolled over the doormat at the back of the house early in the week, she belted out a chesty aria that would have made Kate Smith proud.

When a distant siren caused the coyote choir to strike up in the meadow behind the house two days ago, she chimed in with a perfect Amy Winehouse riff.

And I don’t know what it was that made her go all Aretha on us last night, but she earned plenty of r-e-s-p-e-c-t from whatever it was that was lurking around out there.

Most of the time, though, she just lies around looking adorable, as all divas must. Even when she doesn’t open her mouth to gift us with a song, she brings a smile of admiration from my lips.

Shakira has that effect on me, too.

So it’s hard to decide sometimes ex-

actly which diva Diva brings to mind.

All that changed for me today, though, when I went out into the yard to tend to a little gardening, and I brought Diva out with me.

It was a beautiful, sunny morning with mild temperatures and a balmy breeze, the sort of morning that makes it seem like a crime to spend indoors. I puttered through the garden, pulling a weed here and there, or helping a vine climb in the right direction. I paused to examine the cardinal’s nest in the rose trellis when mama bird took off to find a meal, and I was glad to see that two of the five speckled eggs had already hatched. The babies arched their necks and opened their mouths wide for a handout. “Sorry, guys,” I whispered to them. “Mom will be back from the fastfood drive-thru in a minute.”

In short, a perfect morning.

As I puttered, Diva patrolled the lawn, her white fur blazing in the sunshine like a puff ball on a pool table. She had gotten her springtime haircut only last week, and she looked as proud as any primped and pampered diva ready to hit the stage under the spotlights, her adoring audience trembling with anticipation for their first glimpse of her dark, soulful eyes.

I moved around to the side yard, where I wanted to clip a flower to bring inside for the breakfast table. My wife has some frilly orange-and-gold tulips growing there, and whenever I tuck one into a small crackle-glass vase on the table, it makes me hanker for a cold tequila sunrise.

Still a perfect morning, in case you were keeping track. But even a perfect morning can change in an instant.

I returned to the backyard, umbrelladrink tulip in hand, when I saw Diva rubbing her chin and chest luxuriously on the ground as she pushed forward with her hind legs, her rump thrust high in the air. “OK,” I thought, “so

today we’re Madonna.”

But when she rolled onto her right shoulder and squirmed even further, I saw her beautiful white fur was stained with black.

I called to her, and she stood up to look at me. Now she was all ebony and ivory, and although I like both Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney, they’re not high on my list of favorite divas.

I called to her again, and she ran to meet me. Her dark eyes glowed not just with joy, but with the pride of having found a way to make her perfect morning even better, from her way of thinking.

I have only encountered that fragrance once before in my life – while portaging between lakes deep in the Canadian wilderness on a canoe trip, when I stepped in a black greasy pile of fresh bear droppings. Bumping into it in my backyard made me wonder if Home Depot carried leg-hold spring traps the size of breadboxes. If any critter ever earned the right to be called “shih-tza-poo” in my backyard, that foul-fecal mystery beast lumbered off with the title.

I carried the fetid pooch into the house at arm’s length and plunked her down in the laundry tub, where I was able to scratch “lather up a diva” from my bucket list. A dream’s fulfillment is never as delicious as its anticipation, is it?

In any case, from now on I will have no trouble deciding which diva Diva reminds me of.

After watching her debase herself by wallowing in the most disgusting mess imaginable, and then gazing at me with no hint of shame or apology in her eyes, she will always be Lindsay Lohan to me.

Kebabs as happy on grill as broiler

By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press The trouble with spring is that we get eager to grill, but we can’t always count on the weather to cooperate.

Admittedly, I am a fair weather griller. I know some people who gleefully brave blizzards for the joy of putting meat to searing grate. I simply am not so hardy a man. A bit of a chill or dampness in the air is enough to scuttle my grill plans and send me back indoors.

Of course, that can make planning a challenge. Coming up with a whole new menu just because I don’t want to get wet doesn’t quite work for my life. So this time of year I tend to gravitate to recipes that won’t complain if I need to move them indoors.

This lemon-pepper lamb with bell pepper couscous is just such a recipe.

The meat marinates in a bath of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and gobs of fresh oregano and rosemary. And while 30 minutes is plenty of time, it also can sit this way for up to 24 hours.

When you’re ready to cook, it’s on and off the grill in under 10 minutes.

Weather not working for you? Move it indoors and pop the meat under the broiler. You’ll be eating in the same amount of time.

If you’re doing things ahead of time, consider also prepping your tzatziki in advance. The flavor gets better with time.

Lemon-Garlic Lamb Kebabs With Bell Pepper Couscous Start to finish: 30 minutes, plus marinating Servings: 6 For the lamb: 1/4 cup olive oil 6 cloves garlic, minced

Lemon-Garlic Lamb Kebabs With Bell Pepper Couscous

2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary Juice 1 lemon 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 3 pounds lamb loin, cut into 2-inch chunks For the yogurt sauce: 6-ounce container plain Greek yogurt 3 cloves garlic, minced Zest and juice of 1 lemon 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives 1 small cucumber, peeled and finely chopped Kosher salt and ground black pepper For the couscous: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, diced 1 green bell pepper, cored and diced 2 cups chicken broth 1 cup couscous In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, oregano, rosemary, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add the lamb, toss to coat evenly, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.

When ready to cook, heat the grill to medium high or heat the oven on broil. If using the broiler, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then set a metal rack over it. Coat the rack with cooking spray.

While the grill or oven heats, make the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, garlic, lemon zest and juice, chives, cucumber, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

To make the couscous, in a medium saucepan over medium-high, heat the oil.

Add the onion and peppers, then saute for 5 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Sprinkle in the couscous, then cover and remove from the heat.

To cook the lamb, thread the meat onto

kebabs. If using the grill, use an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs to coat the grates. Set the kebabs on the grates, close the cover and cook for 5 minutes, then turn and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. If using the broiler, set the kebabs on the prepared pan and broiler for the same time.

Fluff the couscous, then divide between serving plates. Set lamb kebabs over each

serving of couscous and serve with the yogurt sauce.

4 Interior design finds its (re)purpose Get shopping

By JANET BENNETT KELLY The Washington Post Don’t have enough time and/or money to invest in geothermal heating and cooling, solar panels and such? Not to worry – decorating can be another satisfying way to go green. Reclamation is sweeping its way through the design world: Doors, windows, siding, shutters and hardware from demolished buildings are being rescued before they are dumped in landfills, while designers with a passion for the past are repurposing old furniture and accessories.

Green designer and consultant Topher Paterno uses these criteria for judging the eco-friendliness of decor: Is it reclaimed, repurposed, recyclable, renewable or have green intent? As for where to find it, Paterno, who owns Pazzo Verde, an eco-sensitive design, building and consulting company based in Washington, offers these sourcing tips: 1. Look for reclaimed doors, flooring and kitchen cabinets from salvage companies such as Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore resale outlet.

There are more than 800 ReStores in the United States and Canada; a locator is at www.habitat. org/restores.

2. When shopping online, use “eco” as one of

Eager to get looking? Find what striking, eco-friendly items are stores now at PlanitNorthwest.com. your search terms.

3. Frequent thrift stores to find furniture and recycle it. “It can be less expensive to reupholster an old couch than to buy a new one,” Paterno said.

Anna Kahoe would add another category to Paterno’s list of sources: antiques stores. “What could be more eco-friendly than a store filled with vintage and antique furniture?” she asks. To further cut down on environmental impact, Kahoe, co-proprietor of GoodWood in Washington, gathers her inventory from places no farther away than three hours.

The store is a tableau of planet-friendly items, including decomposition books (with 100 percent post-consumer-waste recycled pages manufactured in a mill powered by methane captured from a local landfill). Kahoe also shows customers how to reinvent antiques in a modern way: A feed bin can get new life as a bookcase; a factory cart with wheels can be a coffee table; and a library card catalog, a jewelry box.

Birch branches gathered in the forest were used to make the twiggy legs of West Elm’s side table ($249, in blackened metal or silver finish).

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Nashrah Maryum of Lake in the Hills wasn’t sure where she wanted her career to go.

So she took a year off from formal education to figure it out.

Now 22, she said she values that year more than ever as she works toward a pharmacy degree at the College of Pharmacy at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The time Maryum took, known as a gap year, might not be for everyone, but it is becoming a solid option for many.

“I wouldn’t recommend going to your parents’ house and hanging out on the couch and watching TV,” Maryum said. “If you’re going to take a gap year, you need a mission to engage in things throughout the year that interest you.”

No definite statistics are kept on the number of students taking gap years nationwide, but those involved with a growing number of programs promoting them say there is more interest. Gap years are common in other countries, such as Norway, Denmark and Turkey.

Proponents say they offer students more self-awareness, increased maturity and a sense of ownership over their Nashrah education when they return.

Maryum It really depends on the student, said Kellie Carper, supervisor of New Student Transitions at McHenry County College. She regularly advises graduating high school students and their parents.

“For some students, it makes perfect sense,” she said. “For others, it can be an impediment to future success. This is really something that is a case-by-case decision. Many of the students have come to us out of high school after a year or two. We are perfectly happy getting them back on a path to education.”

In many of the cases at MCC, students have returned to school after realizing they’re not going to earn as much money without a college diploma, she said.

They didn’t necessarily take the year off to raise money for college or explore, but simply to avoid more education after high school, she said.

Still, like those who take a year off to travel or pursue other interests, those who return do tend to do so with a better sense of the value of education, she said.

“It sometimes takes a good year for students to realize college is a good choice,” she said.

“It’s an unfortunate situation, but it sometimes takes that kind of, ‘Wow, I can only make nine bucks an hour working at McDonald’s.’ Even McDonald’s is looking to up their educational requirements to get hired.”

In Maryum’s case, she took her gap year after she already had earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois with plans to pursue higher degrees.

A 2007 graduate of Crystal Lake South, she wasn’t sure whether she wanted a career in pharmacy or medicine.

“When you’re in college, you’re on a trajectory and you go with the next thing in front of you,” she said.

“There’s not much time to reflect on what’s right for you.”

Maryum said she made a conscious decision to earn money while on her gap year and not put herself

Kyle Houlihan of Bollingbrook took time off from Illinois State University through the Carpe Diem Gap Year Program to go to to East Africa, where he helped at an orphanage, studied rhinoceros and worked with an organic farming group and students at a special education school.

The gist on gap years What is a gap year? A structured period of time when students take a break from formal education to increase self-awareness, challenge comfort zones and experiment with possible careers. Experts say no one definitely tracks the exact number of American students taking gap years, but most agree the trend is steadily growing in popularity. in debt. She tutored and worked for a nonprofit group that provides prosthetic arms to patients in Guatemala.

Some gap-year programs can actually cost as much or more than college, but financial aid is available, and proponents say they’re worth it.

About 90 to 95 percent of those who’ve taken gap years through Carpe Diem Gap Year Programs, which offer three-month and year-long study abroad trips to Brazil, South America, Africa, Australia and other places, go on to four-year colleges, said Drew Edwards, executive director of the program.

“It’s a difference between going to college because you should go and going because you want to go,” he said.

“You’re still going to a four-year university, but you’re going to study something you’re passionate about.”

Edwards, himself, grew up in Glenview and decided at 22 while working as a salesman in Chicago the job wasn’t for him.

“Eventually, I realized i was totally on a path I had no commitment to, no passion in, and it wasn’t what I wanted to be doing,” he said.

He packed up everything and ended up doing various jobs, becoming a trip leader for international

travelers journeying through the country.

He now oversees 160 to 180 programs at Carpe Diem, where students ages 17 to 21 work side-by-side with the cultures where they stay, immersing themselves in the countries, he said.

Kyle Houlihan of Bollingbrook went to East Africa, where he helped at an orphanage, studied rhinoceros and worked with an organic farming group and students at a special education school.

The 20-year-old had signed up for Carpe Diem’s three-month program after a semester at Illinois State University, where he’s now returned.

“When I was applying to colleges, I was doing it kind of recklessly. I was just doing things that I thought I could do to make a lot of money,” he said.

One night about 2 a.m. while looking at his financial aid packet, he said to himself, “You’re going to be hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt when you graduate for a degree that probably won’t mean anything to you.”

Always interested in Africa, he did an online search, found Carpe Diem and applied.

Now studying organizational leadership as a junior at Illinois State, he said he hopes to become a project manager for an international program and go on to earn a master’s, or perhaps, a doctorate degree.

He spends his summers working at a day camp for children with disabilities and has gone on service projects during his spring breaks.

“I was given three months to reflect on myself and what was important for me, to find the best version of myself,” he said. “I think I’m on my way to that, and it’s because of the trip.

“I got to touch all of these projects and find a way to leave a little bit of an impact. I think the impact they left on me was way greater.”

6 LITH girl’s drawing shown in ‘Highlights’

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Nine-year-old Riley Chadwick wanted to be part of the artwork from all over the world published in “Highlights” magazine.

So the Lake in the Hills girl, daughter of Phil and Darcy Chadwick, drew a picture of the Statue of Liberty and submitted it.

“It was simple because I know how to draw, and I drew it a lot of times,” Riley said.

Her picture has been published in the June edition of the international magazine at www. highlights. com, known as one of the most Riley recognizable Chadwick and widely Artist read children’s magazine in the nation.

“I thought it was pretty cool because it goes all around the world,” said Riley, who already has her own copy of the June edition she intends to frame. “I read it every month.”

Now a third-grader at Hannah Martin Elementary School, Riley said she learned to draw the Statue of Liberty in second grade with the help of her art teacher, Jen Weichle.

Her drawing was published in the magazine’s “Your Own Pages” section. Readers send the magazine more than 35,000 submissions a year from throughout the world.

Riley Chadwick of Lake in the Hills drew a picture of the Statue of Liberty, which was published in the June issue of “Highlights” magazine.

Those are sorted through and selected to “showcase a representative sample of all the work” and to foster children’s creativity, according to the magazine’s news release.

The family sent the drawing in last summer, Darcy Chadwick said.

“She always thought it was cool there were pictures by other kids, and she wanted to give it a shot,” Darcy said of her daughter. “It was all her idea.”

Riley first received a typical response letter, she said, stating that the magazine receives so many submissions that the picture might not get published.

Another letter came last month congratulating her.

She hopes to become an art teacher one day.

“I like to read and write and draw,” she said.

Hosseini discusses new novel 7

By HILLEL ITALIE The Associated Press NEW YORK – Khaled Hosseini, whose novels have sold more than 38 million copies worldwide, knows what a lucky man he is.

“What separates me from someone in the streets of Kabul is such a thin line,” said the Afghan-American author of “The Kite Runner” and “A Thousand Splendid Suns.”

“What I have is, in many ways, an undeserved gift.”

His amazing run continued Tuesday with publication of his new novel, “And the Mountains Echoed.” The book likely will become one of the summer’s favorite reads. It has received admiring reviews and reached the top 10 on Amazon.com well before its official release.

Like his previous novels, “And the Mountains Echoed” features Afghan characters and tells a story about families, this one spanning decades and generations. The title was inspired by a William Blake line, “And all the

Hosseini considers the book his most ambitious, with a complex narrative and stops in Paris, San Francisco (the author lives in Northern California) and Greece. He had no idea how the novel would turn out when he started, but he did know what he wanted to ex-

press – how we all are united by loss, by failure, by what we’re missing.

“Life just doesn’t care about our aspirations, or sadness,” he said. “It’s often random, and it’s often stupid and it’s often completely unexpected and the closures and the epiphanies and revelations we end up receiving from life, begrudgingly, rarely turn out to be the ones we thought [we’d have].”

MARKING MILES

Algonquin Striders, Walkers and Talkers celebrate sticking together for 14 years, covering hundreds of miles

Story by JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

lice Jenkinson glanced behind her at a couple of stragglers, deep in conversation.

Rain drizzling, arms pumping, she kept walking.

“This is what happens sometimes,” she said with a grin, the phrase “Take a Hike” printed in marker on the back of her T-shirt. “We leave ’em in the dust.”

At age 87 and three-quarters, as she puts it, Jenkinson of Cary is one of the few originals and oldest members of a 14-year-old S.W.A.T group that meets weekly to walk in the Hollows Conservation Area in Cary.

They’re Striders, Walkers & Talkers.

Rain, shine, snow, wind, whatever, they walk every Wednesday morning. “No matter what,” Jenkinson said.

But they only walk as fast as they can keep talking, they say.

“And we can talk a lot,” said Lynn Okeson of Cary.

Some are faster than others, and some walk farther, usually from 2 to 4 miles. Then they meet back for coffee and treats in the basement of the Algonquin Township office building along Route 14 in Crystal Lake.

Who gets there first “depends on who wants the best choice of dessert,” Jenkinson said.

Anywhere from 12 to 25 members, who sport their own T-shirts, typically show up and have since former Algonquin Township Supervisor Pat Flo-

eter started the group in 1999.

Algonquin Township Supervisor Dianne Klemm carried on the tradition, occasionally offering to take the group on the township bus to other conservation areas to walk.

They range in age from 62 to 89-year-old Ben Welisek of Fox River Grove. He and his wife, Betty, 85, used to walk, but mostly just come for the coffee these days.

“The only part of walking I like is the talking,” Betty

“If somebody’s out of breath, you go back. You don’t make a big deal of it. You stay together.”

Alice Jenkinson, 87, of Cary, a member of S.W.A.T.

Welisek said.

For the members, S.W.A.T. is tradition. They’ve hosted their own High Tea parties, posing in hats – even a couple of the group’s four male members put them on. There are photographs to prove it.

They’ve gotten together for picnics every year at member Lydia Hartsig’s Algonquin home.

And they’ve seen each other through hip replacements, mono, arthritis and all sorts of ailments.

Though, “When we get to the table, there’s no talking of illness,” said Jenkinson, who refers to the group as “non-seniors.”

It’s all about “attitude,” she said.

“You never groan when you get out of a chair,” she said. “I’m just fortunate. How can I complain if I know other people are worse off than I am?”

The group might split off during the walks, but the smaller fragments make sure they stay together so no one walks alone.

They keep an eye on one another, listen.

“If somebody’s out of breath, you go back. You don’t make a big deal of it,” Jenkinson said.

“You stay together.”

Although Ron Carlson of Algonquin, who walks with his wife, Lynne, is a regular, the other men come “when they have nothing else to do,” the women joked. When they’re there, talking about men is off limits, they say.

“The guys walk to the end of

the pier and sometimes don’t come back,” Jenkinson said with a laugh.

And Ron Carlson comes “for the donuts,” his wife Lynne added.

She, too, has walked with the group since nearly the beginning. She also walks on her own daily.

“It has to be a habit,” she said. “I get out of bed, and I don’t drink my coffee until I walked.”

All friends, they walk simply with whomever they happen to

strike up a conversation with that morning.

The group has encountered snakes, both dead and alive, jumping fish, even a turtle that a member took home and named “Oliver.”

“Did you hear the birds this morning?” Susan Cole of Cary asked as she caught up to a couple of walkers. “I felt like I was sleeping in a bird cage.”

Cole joined the group about five years ago when she stumbled upon it while walking on her

ABOVE: The group has been meeting for 14 years, and their motto is, “Come for the walking stay for the talking.” own in the Hollows.

“Don’t walk alone,” they told her. “Come join our group.”

“I’ve been with them ever since,” she said. “We’re kind of a motley crew.”

Some have come and gone.

They’re the “drop-outs,” as the group calls them. One woman came and told them that they didn’t walk, they hiked. She never came back.

“She was just too delicate,” Jenkinson said.

A couple members have

died through the years but are remembered in photographs displayed in an album the group has put together.

Walking might be the reason Jenkinson has become the group’s “dream lady,” remaining as healthy and active as ever.

“That sounds nice, but I think it’s lifestyle. I’d say having a good husband who understands you,” she said of her husband, Ron. Then she quickly added, “You don’t have to understand him.”

Zmuda LaForge

CARY – Announcement has been made of the engagement of Stephanie Jeanette Larkins and Zachary Joseph Mitchell, both of Cary.

She is the daughter of Jeff and Christy Larkins of Crystal Lake. He is the son of Joseph Mitchell of Gig Harbor, Wash., and Elizabeth English of Wauconda.

The bride-to-be is a 2002 graduate of Crystal Lake South High School, a 2006 graduate of Millikin University in Decatur with a Bachelor of Science in elementary education with a concentration in middle-school math, and a 2010 graduate of Walden University in Minneapolis with a Master of Science in education for mathematics grades six through eight. She is an eighth-grade math teacher at Hannah Beardsley Middle

HARVARD – Announcement has been made of the engagement of Kaitlin M. Zmuda of Harvard and Bryan J. LaForge of West Chicago.

She is the daughter of David and Marike Zmuda of Harvard. He is the son of Wayne and Lynne LaForge of Warrenville.

The bride-to-be is a 2008 graduate of Harvard High School and a 2012 graduate of Northern Illinois University in DeKalb with a degree in family social services. She is a resident services assistant at DeKalb Area Retirement Center – Oak Crest in DeKalb.

They have plans for an April 12, 2014, wedding.

Pastels say spring but also can be used in winter I love pastels, but my heart is set on a winter wedding. Is there a way to make my palette less springy?

Absolutely. “Any pastel can look wintry,” Martha Stewart Weddings style director Kate Berry said. The key is to steer clear of the classic Easter-candy combination of robin’s-egg blue, yellow, lavender and cotton-candy pink.

Instead, consider an equally

soft yet surprising duo such as blue and light green – or take a cue from Turkish-delight candies, those pale-pink-andgreen confections dusted with powdered sugar. Then, add a neutral color to your pastel mix, such as taupe, gray or slate. For a formal affair, metallic elements (think silver or gold vessels) will set a festive tone; if your look is more lowkey, layer in snowy whites or

Gem Talk

sage greens. Different textures help, too. “Incorporate birch bark or pine cones in your centerpieces,” Kate said.

These seasonal touches will turn your pastel party into a winter wonderland.

As the mother of the bride, I know I should wear a corsage, but they can damage clothing and often don’t stay upright. Is a wristlet too old-fashioned?

A wrist corsage is only as old-fashioned as its design, senior style editor Naomi de Manana said. She suggests a flower that is “big and elegant,” like a gardenia or a flat garden rose, and opting for a ribbon base over an elastic band. Or try something entirely different. “A flower tucked in the back of upswept hair can be stunning,” Naomi said. For this, gardenias, gar-

den roses or cattleya orchids work nicely with rose leaves, camellia or galax to add a little greenery. Another option is to “carry a small nosegay of lily of the valley, muscari, violets or sweet peas,” she said. That way, you can pick up the bouquet for photos and the processional, and leave it on the table when it’s time to hit the dance floor.

My daughter is graduating High School and I know she would love a pair of Diamond earrings.

I don’t want to spend too much money on them because I am afraid she will lose them.

Should I buy them with screw backs?

I am not a fan of screw back earrings. The posts are usually thicker than a normal post because it is threaded. This can irritate the ear and isn’t very comfortable to wear. Over time, the threads become worn and the back can unscrew by itself and fall off.

There is a locking post & back that works much better called “la possette”. The post is normal size and has special notches so the back can never come off by itself. It is very comfortable to wear. These posts are also easy to install onto any pair of post earrings that you may already have.

As far as your investment, you can spend what you are comfortable with and upgrade whenever you want. At Steffan’s, we will always offer you exactly what you paid when you decide to purchase a larger size. This way, she will always have a pair of Diamond earrings to wear and you will never lose money on your investment.

Diamond stud earrings would be the perfect gift for your daughter. They are every young girls dream.

NEW YORK – Buying a diamond ring can be intimidating. What do you look for?

Demystify the process by learning about the four C’s: carat, color, clarity and cut. This system of grading diamonds was developed 60 years ago by the Gemological Institute of America.

Then do some research online or visit jewelers. You’ll soon understand your options. Here’s a primer on the four C’s.

• Carat is a weight measurement.

A 1-carat diamond weighs 200 milligrams. But there’s no ideal size for a diamond. It depends on your budget and taste. Some women want a big rock; others prefer a delicate, less blingy look.

Small diamonds are cheaper than large diamonds. A ring with three small diamonds totaling 1 carat costs less than a single 1-carat stone of similar quality.

• Color is graded by letter, starting with D for rare, colorless diamonds.

E and F are considered excellent, but G or H diamonds will look just as good to the naked eye.

Farther down the scale, you’ll notice differences. “If you put a K color beside a G color, you’ll notice more yellow in the K,” said Russell Shor, senior industry analyst for the Gemological Institute.

• Clarity measures diamond flaws, called inclusions, which might appear as tiny spots, clouds or cavities in the stone. The clarity grade SI stands for “slightly included.” VS is a better grade, “very slightly included.” VVS

Photo provided

is even higher, “very, very slightly included.” Most inclusions in the VVS-SI range cannot be seen by the untrained eye “unless someone tells you where it is,” Shor said.

• Cut measures workmanship, rather than a diamond’s inherent qualities. The way a stone is cut enhances sparkle and luminosity and can hide flaws. The best cut rating, ideal, is rare. About a third of diamonds are rated fair, good or very good.

What should you look for in each of the C’s?

“The one thing you should not trade off on is the quality of the cut,” Shor said. “Even a nice color stone, if not well-cut, will be dull and lifeless.

But if it’s a middle color – like K – and it’s got a real excellent cut, it will pop and flash with all the sparkle that diamonds are famous for.”

After choosing the cut, “balance the color, clarity and carat weight based on your personal preference to find the best diamond for you and your budget,” said Amanda Gizzi, spokeswoman for Jewelers of America.

Former foster mom weighs adopting troubled girl Dear Abby: Some time ago, my husband and I became foster parents to a little girl who had been seriously abused. After we had cared for her only seven months, she was returned to her parents.

Shortly after that, the mom signed guardianship over to the grandmother, and now the grandmother is considering putting the child back into the system. This is a girl with “difficult” issues.

Although I deeply loved her, the time she was with us was very challenging and hard. Do I sign up for a life filled with uncertainty and give this child a shot at stability? Or do I pray she will find the perfect home to meet all her needs? – Uncertain About The Future Dear Uncertain: Only you decide about whether you are up to the chal-

lenge of trying to fix this damaged girl. There are no guarantees, and it is no disgrace to admit this is more than you feel you can manage.

However, if you feel that you and your husband can make a difference, it is important you know you won’t be alone in trying to handle her emotional issues. In this country, support systems for children are better than they are for adults. Your county mental health department can guide you, and if there are medical schools nearby, they may sponsor programs to train young psychiatrists who also can help you.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for 18 years. Our marriage has had its ups and downs. Last year, we separated for eight months.

We decided to stay married and are now again living together.

I found out not long ago he slept with my daughter’s best friend. I am horrified he’d do such a thing, because as a teenager she would hang out at our home. I feel what he did should have never happened.

Although I would like to think our marriage can be repaired, I still have my doubts. Should I feel this way or let the past stay in the past? – Looking

For Answers In Oklahoma Dear Looking For Answers: Not every woman would forgive an affair that seems this uncomfortably “incestuous.” A counselor may be able to help you sort out your feelings, and joint marriage counseling should definitely be considered before you make up your mind.

Dear Abby: What is a man’s ethical responsibility when he hears of a crime in group therapy?

StraightTalk

While attending a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, I heard a man confess he had dropped a cinder block on a boy’s head when he was 12. The man was never arrested for the crime.

I can’t stop thinking about the boy who was his victim. Should I tell the police? – Somewhere In The South Dear Somewhere: It is the group leader’s responsibility to contact the authorities if a group member is a danger to himself or others. If this happened when the man was 12, what would it accomplish to report it at this point? Because this has been preying on your mind, you should talk with the group leader about the matter.

Parents can learn skills to deal with children who use Is it true only parents with poor parenting skills have kids with drug problems? I’d say the answer is a resounding “NO.” Is it true kids with drug problems want their parents to believe they are poor parents? I’d answer that with a resounding “YES.” Here’s the thing – if a parent is busy backpedaling and trying desperately to justify their parenting, they are so busy trying to repair their real or imagined transgressions they can’t hold a reasonable line with the drugusing kid. In addition, the kid is, for all practical purposes, in charge. Do parents make

mistakes? Of course. Can parents improve and get new skills when they are working with a drug using kid? Of course. But that doesn’t mean they need to blame themselves and succumb to the “guilt game.”

It’s not acceptable to use illegal drugs, possess illegal drugs, use prescription drugs without a prescription or in a nonprescribed way, and it’s not OK to drink alcohol before your 21st birthday. Most kids who are doing these things are busy justifying their actions by convincing themselves and those around them their behavior is nor-

mal, that everybody is doing it or that it’s just experimentation. As soon as kids justify their use, assume they don’t feel good about it. In some strange way, if they can get their parents to accept it as normal, then they think they can feel normal. As long as parents maintain nonacceptance of the use, the users can make their unhappiness your fault (and who wouldn’t use drugs under those terrible circumstances).

I know it sounds like a catch 22, but here’s the ticket out. First, parents must accept this won’t be a one and done deal and prepare for

the long haul. They must get support, because they will be under personal verbal and emotional attacks and at times will feel like it is their fault. They will need regular reminders regarding their own sanity. If spouses get on the same page, it will cut the battle in half. They must stay out of arguments about the merits of drug use because they’ll always lose and end up feeling stupid, exhausted and manipulated. They must apply regular, appropriate consequences in a measured and nonjudgmental way, get professional help if it’s required, and, if the behavior

worsens, up the ante in a step-by-step way.

Addiction doesn’t happen the first time someone uses drugs or alcohol. It may be years before a pattern of symptoms becomes evident.

Addiction is progressive, but the earlier the intervention, the better the results.

Al Anon family groups can be an invaluable resource for family members of addicted people, and as they say, “You didn’t cause it, and you can’t cure it.”

“Fast & Furious 6” HH½ STARRING: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez PLOT: A federal agent (Johnson) recruits the hard-driving crew led by Diesel and Walker to take on a gang of high-tech hot-rodders stealing military equipment across Europe. The catch is that Diesel’s dead girlfriend (Rodriguez) is actually alive and part of the new gang.

RATING: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action and mayhem throughout, and for some sexuality and language TIME: 2 hours, 10 minutes VERDICT: The longer the strangely durable “Fast & Furious” series goes on, the harder it is to hate. Although the sprawling cast plays every scene with straight faces, it becomes increasingly clear the actors are in on the joke. Director Justin Lin moves the absurdly over-the-top action sequences from the streets of London to the highways of Spain. The one thing that continues to hold the series down is Chris Morgan’s leaden dialogue. Don’t miss the shocking tease during the credits that makes “Fast & Furious 7” a must-see. – Jef-

“The Hangover III” HHH STARRING: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha PLOT: This time, there’s no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.

RATING: R for pervasive language including sexual references, some violence and drug content, and brief graphic nudity TIME: 1 hour, 40 minutes VERDICT: “Daring” isn’t a word you would use very much to describe 2011’s “The Hangover Part II,” the disappointingly lazy, beat-for-beat

“FAST & FURIOUS 6” Sunday, May 26

rehash of the wild and wildly successful original “Hangover” from 2009. And yet, here we are with part three, which runs a different sort of risk by going to darker and more dangerous places than its predecessors. It dares to alienate the very audience that made “The Hangover” the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time because, well, it isn’t exactly a comedy. Sure, there are some outrageous lines and sight gags, mostly courtesy of Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong, who function as central figures this time when, previously, a little bit of them went a long way. But director and co-writer Todd Phillips signals early and often he’s much more interested than ever before in exploring matters of real consequence rather than simply mining them for brash laughs. – Christy

RESPECTING

JADA Pinkett Smith gets candid on her family, speaking out

By JOHN CARUCCI The Associated Press NEW YORK – Jada Pinkett Smith may have started as an actress, but these days her list of jobs includes author, singer-songwriter, philanthropist, successful businesswoman – and, of course, wife and mother.

With husband Will Smith, she started Overbrook Entertainment, which has produced many of Smith’s films, as well as the upcoming remake of “Annie.” But Pinkett Smith’s more recent focus has been the documentary “Free Angela Davis and Other Political Prisoners,” which marks the 40th anniversary of the acquittal of the 1970s political activist who once was on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.

Davis was removed from her teaching job at UCLA in 1969 because she was a member of the Communist Party. A year later, she was charged with murder and kidnapping in a shootout at the Marin County, Calif., courthouse, then acquitted by an all-white jury.

“I watched it and I thought I knew the Angela Davis story, and I even thought that I knew a lot about that era, and I didn’t,” she said.

Pinkett Smith says she not only learned a lot from spending time with Davis, but she grew as a person. Pinkett Smith is trying to spread that kind of growth to others, especially via social media, where she frequently posts on thought-provoking issues, such as blended families, bullying and more.

In a recent interview, the 41-year-old spoke candidly about her many roles, from the acting world to the one she’s most proud of – as family matriarch.

What did you know about Angela Davis growing up?

Oh absolutely, I knew that she was a pivotal part of the movement and I knew that she was powerful and I knew

that she was intelligent, but what I didn’t receive was the beauty of her feminine side, you know, and her softness, and the strength in her vulnerable nature. ... I’ve learned a lot just simply being in her presence in that way. ...

So I would say that has been a gift.

You seem quite comfortable sharing your views on social media – you recently asked whether white women should be allowed on the cover of black women’s magazines.

One of the reasons that I did that is right now one of my very strong focus at this point is trying to figure out how to engage women to flow power to one another. The idea is that there’s a white woman’s issue. Or there’s a black woman’s issue. There’s a Latina woman’s issue. The idea for women to understand is that if we could come together and flow each other power for issues that affect us all, that we would get a lot done. ...

These are subjects that we can’t be afraid to talk about because they hurt. That’s the step toward getting to solutions and the step toward community.

I don’t get afraid in talking about subject matter that may spark controversy, and I’m not afraid to not be liked. I think that sometimes people pay too much attention to being liked, and it’s paralyzing.

I think that if we can respect one another, we always have to keep respect in. But I’m not expecting people to like me all the time.
