Leslie Weiss of Twin Lakes, Wis., poses for a portrait recently after she had group therapy at Centegra Specialty Hospital in Woodstock. Weiss, formerly of Ringwood, has bipolar disorder and attends group therapy every other week at the hospital.

Wis. woman makes weekly trips to McHenry, Woodstock for recovery

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com

O

n her bad days, Leslie Weiss had no hope of ever enjoying life.

“With that, you have no ambition, you don’t eat, you don’t dress, you don’t get anything done and then you beat yourself up because you’re not getting anything done,” said Weiss, who has struggled for several years with bipolar disorder.

The Twin Lakes, Wis., resident – who previously lived in

Ringwood – has seen the same therapist in McHenry since 1999.

Sticking with the same therapist, whom she trusts, is key to her recovery.

About 20 percent of the population is estimated to be dealing with some sort of mental illness, some treatable with medication, some chronic, according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s office.

In McHenry County, that would mean more than 60,000 people could have a mental illness.

Agencies fill Family Service gap

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com When Family Service and Community Mental Health Center closed last year, it left some 6,000 people looking for help.

Family Service had to close its doors because of financial issues facing the agency. The facility had about $1 million in state contracts and late Medicaid payments contributing to its shortfall.

The collapse of the county’s oldest and largest mental health agency led to other agencies – such as Rosecrance, Greater Elgin Family Care Center’s McHenry location, and Thresholds, among others – stepping up to fill the need, said Todd Schroll, interim executive director of the McHenry County Mental Health Board.

D-47 full-day kindergarten draws crowds

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The new all-day kindergarten program at District 47 is off to a strong start with 86 percent of those enrolled opting for the full-day offering.

Jean Bevevino, the district’s assistant superintendent of curriculum, instruction and assessment, said 473 of 550 kindergartners enrolled in the 2013-14 school year will receive full-day classes. Of those, 116 are enrolled in the dual-language program.

2013 will be the first year the district offers full-day kindergarten after the board approved the program in December partly in response to a community survey showing high demand for the service.

“I thought it might be closer to 80 percent or the high 70s, but there really was a need in our community, and a lot of people had been asking for this,” Bevevino said. “I’m excited that we are able to offer the two options to families.”

FORECLOSURE PROBLEMS PILE UP Pat McEvilly of Crystal Lake is dealing with the consequences of the long foreclosure process. The house next door is being foreclosed on and has quickly become an eyesore.

Experts encourage residents who notice a foreclosed property to contact the city. While access is limited, the city still can enter the property in cases of smoke alarm activation or broken pipes, mow the grass and remove trash in some cases.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question Log on to www.NWHerald.com and vote on today’s poll question:

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Illinois lawmakers fail on state’s ONLY priority Is it possible voters weren’t clear enough with lawmakers when we sent them to Springfield back in February to attend to the state’s business?

Yes, there was a laundry list of action items that needed to be addressed.

Pass a state budget that spends less money than Illinois takes in.

Start paying down the state’s billions of dollars in unpaid bills so the organizations owed that money can continue to perform the tasks necessary to make our communities better places to live.

Adopt a concealed-carry bill that satisfies a court order striking down Illinois’ unconstitutional gun control laws.

And there was a wish list of items that special interest groups were hoping to push through the General Assembly.

Legalize medical marijuana.

Approve gay marriage.

Add a casino in Chicago and expand gambling elsewhere because – tongue planted firmly in cheek here – additional gaming revenue will solve our state’s fiscal problems.

Regardless of your position on any of these wish-list items, there was this one big thing that stood out at the top of every General Assembly to-do list.

ONE GINORMOUS THING that was written in ALL CAPS and BOLD LETTERS so lawmakers wouldn’t forget.

If the General Assembly didn’t accomplish anything else this spring, as long as it figured out this ONE GINORMOUS THING, the legislative session that ended at midnight Friday would be hailed as ONE HUGE SUCCESS. Heck, I might have even organized a celebratory parade to welcome our elected officials – heroes, even? – back from Springfield.

No need now, though.

In fact, take down the balloons.

Silence the trumpets.

Most importantly, hide your wallets.

Gov. Pat Quinn and the Illinois House and Senate failed us miserably.

They FAILED in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS with multiple exclamation points at the end!!!!!!!!!

By not adopting meaningful pension

VIEWS Dan McCaleb reform, the legislative session that ended Friday was a waste of everyone’s time.

It was a waste of time for the elected officials we paid to be there. It was a waste of time for the media who covered it. It was a waste of time for taxpayers back home.

How important is pension reform?

Our five statewide public pensions are underfunded by a worst-in-the-nation $100 billion. Each day that reform is not taken, that number grows by about $17 million.

Since early February. when we sent our lawmakers to Springfield to fix our failing pension systems, it’s grown by about $2 billion.

All this extra money that eventually will have to go to pay down our pension debt is money that won’t be available for teaching our children, for paying police officers and other emergency personnel to keep us safe, to fix our deteriorating roads and outdated infrastructure.

It all but guarantees that the outrageous, “temporary” income-tax hike foisted on hardworking Illinoisans in the middle of a cold, January 2011 night won’t be temporary.

All of that money, all of our money, is going to be needed to pay for our unsustainable public pensions.

It’s not that some individual lawmakers didn’t try.

Most of McHenry County’s own elected lawmakers fought a valiant fight.

I talked to state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, on average every other week during this session.

He’d frequently call or email me to give me an update on where pension reform stood. He gets it.

“Pension reform is everything,” McSweeney told me often. “Nothing else matters without pension reform.”

That’s true because as the percentage of tax dollars going to pay pensions

WASHINGTON – Alcoholic beverages soon could have nutritional labels like those on food packaging, but only if the producers want to put them there.

The Treasury Department, which regulates alcohol, said this past week that beer, wine and spirits companies can use labels that include serving size, servings per container, calories, carbohydrates, protein and fat per serving. Such package labels have never before been approved.

The labels are voluntary, so it will be up to beverage companies to decide whether to use them on their products.

The decision is a temporary, first step while the Alcohol and Tobacco Trade and Tax Bureau, or TTB, continues to consider final rules on alcohol labels. Rules proposed in 2007 would have made labels mandatory, but the agen-

To answer the question I posed to open this diatribe, taxpayers’ message to our elected state officials regarding pension reform was crystal clear.

Our state’s leaders are just too incompetent to solve it.

Pages from a ruling by the Department of the Treasury’s Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau showing voluntary recommendations for labeling of wines, distilled spirits and malt liquor that were released on Tuesday. cy never made the rules final.

The labeling regulation, issued May 28, comes after a decade of lobbying by hard liquor companies and consumer groups, with clearly different goals.

The liquor companies want to advertise low calories and low carbohydrates

in their products. Consumer groups want alcoholic drinks to have the same transparency as packaged foods, which are required to be labeled.

“This is actually bringing alcoholic beverages into the modern era,” says Guy Smith, an executive vice president at Diageo, the world’s largest

distiller and maker of such well-known brands as Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Jose Cuervo and Tanqueray.

Diageo asked the bureau in 2003 to allow the company to add that information to its products as low-carbohydrate diets were gaining in popularity.

Almost 10 years later, Smith said he expects Diageo gradually to put the new labels on all of its products, which include a small number of beer and wine companies.

“It’s something consumers have come to expect,” Smith said. “In time, it’s going to be, why isn’t it there?”

Not all alcohol companies are expected to use labels.

Among those that may take a pass are beer companies, which don’t want consumers counting calories, and winemakers, which don’t want to ruin the sleek look of their bottles.

In the session’s waning moments, state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, demanded that Gov. Quinn immediately call a special session to address pension reform.

“Our state is going to become insolvent because of this,” Franks said.

“If the governor doesn’t call us back in a special session, he ought to resign because he is not leading.”

Quinn isn’t the only leader in Springfield who should consider resigning. Speaker of the House Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton have failed us repeatedly, too.

Ill. GOP elects new party chairman

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – After months of public infighting, Illinois Republicans selected a new leader Saturday who they hope is the best option to bring factions of the party together after its poor showing in last November’s elections.

The party’s central committee chose committeeman and lobbyist Jack Dorgan of Rosemont as the party’s chair for the next year. He replaces Pat Brady, who resigned last month after conservatives complained about his public support for gay marriage and other leadership issues.

Over the last few weeks, Dorgan emerged as a consensus choice with the potential to bridge gaps between the party’s conservative and moderate wings. Party leaders are seeking ways to appeal more to youths, women and minorities after a drubbing in state elections that allowed Democrats to nearly sweep contested congressio-

Dorgan had the backing of U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, state Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka and members of the Illinois congressional delegation.

Among other candidates were former Congressman Joe Walsh, former lieutenant governor candidate Don Tracy and businessman Jim Nalepa. State Sen. Matt Murphy of Palatine removed his name from consideration late last month.

Brady resigned from his post May 8, citing his wife’s battle with cancer and his desire to focus on family after six years in Republican politics.

Big issues still face lawmakers

By REGINA GARCIA CANO and SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – After all the big talk, rare legislative proceedings and countless vows, Illinois lawmakers left Springfield having failed to deliver on a fix to the state’s nearly $100 billion pension debacle, setting up an even more difficult road ahead.

To some, the lack of action marred Pat Quinn an intense Illinois spring legislative session governor that saw some big accomplishments: Before Friday’s adjournment, lawmakers approved a budget without cuts to education, a historic expansion of Medicaid, medical marijuana, concealed carry and a breakthrough compromise to regulate hydraulic fracturing.

But they didn’t take votes on a bill making Illinois the 13th state to approve same-sex marriage, a major gambling expansion or a way to start-

ing digging out of its unprecedented pension debt.

“The 500-pound elephant in the room is pensions,” said Kent Redfield, a retired political scientist at the University of Illinois at Springfield and former House staff member. “It’s a huge failure.”

With lawmakers not back until the fall, the options to get back to work on the problem aren’t easy. And the pressure doesn’t appear Michael to be fading.

Madigan The crisis Ill. Speaker of has already led the House bond houses to give Illinois the lowest credit rating and they’re likely to lower it again. Several governors from other states have already tried to poach Illinois jobs playing up that fact. And the inaction sets the stage for Gov. Pat Quinn to answer tough questions on the 2014 re-election trail.

Quinn could call lawmakers back, but special session requires a three-fifths majority rather than a straight

majority and his track record isn’t great. A special session he called on pensions last year ended without results.

Momentum to finally tackle the decades-old problem seemed in full swing this year. Quinn had made it his top priority and House Speaker Michael Madigan applied a rarely used legislative procedure in February to take piecemeal votes on numerous parts of the pension John problem to Cullerton gauge where Ill. Senate lawmakers President were. Several concrete plans emerged and new lawmakers got a crash course on the issue.

But in the final hours of the session, both chambers remained deadlocked. Madigan sponsored a bill, with Quinn’s support, that slashed benefits across the board. It was defeated in the Senate.

Senate President John Cullerton pushed his overhaul, which would give retirees a choice between health care

or other pension benefits, claiming it would survive a constitutional challenge. It never left a House committee.

Even the most minor pension overhaul – getting state universities and community colleges to gradually pay their own retirement costs – died on the Senate floor late Friday, and that was after the heads of several education institutions agreed to it.

“There couldn’t be a more stunning indictment of your failure of leadership than this right here,” Sen. Matt Murphy, a Palatine Republican, told his colleagues.

“This constitutes all that’s left of pension reform with the great Democrat majority that was finally going to solve this huge problem.”

Some of those early votes on difficult pension issues might haunt some politicians come election time. Quinn is among those who probably stands to lose the most. He’s brought up pensions at nearly every public appearance in the last year. But the lack of action could perpetuate claims from his critics that he has little sway at the Capitol.

8STATE BRIEFS Weather service: Tornado hits southwestern Illinois ST. LOUIS – The National Weather Service confirms that at least one tornado barreled Friday night through portions of southwestern Illinois as part of a storm that caused no serious injuries.

The weather service’s Jayson Gosselin said the twister that affected the Roxana area in Madison County, northeast of St. Louis, was an EF3, which has winds between 136 and 165 mph. A tornado of that magnitude also has been confirmed to have hit Missouri’s St. Charles County.

Gosselin said crews assessing damage in Macoupin County confirmed that was also caused by a tornado. Damage included a collapsed gymnasium roof at a Gillespie high school.

Gov. Quinn open to Great Lakes-Mississippi split MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. – Gov. Pat Quinn said he’s willing to consider placing barriers in Chicago-area waterways to keep Asian carp from reaching the Great Lakes.

Meeting Saturday with fellow governors from Great Lakes states, Quinn said separating the lakes from the Mississippi River watershed is the “ultimate solution” to prevent migration of Asian carp and other invasive species between the two systems.

The Democratic governor’s statement on Michigan’s Mackinac Island represents a potential breakthrough in a longstanding dispute between Great Lakes states. Illinois and Indiana have resisted re-engineering Chicago’s network of rivers and canals, saying it would disrupt commerce and cause flooding.

Michigan and four other states unsuccessfully sued Chicago over the issue. Sci-

entists say if Asian carp reach the lakes, they could threaten native species and the region’s fishing industry.

Lawyer: Self-defense in road-rage shooting CHICAGO – A lawyer for a Chicago man charged with murder in a road-rage incident said his client acted in self-defense when he fatally shot another motorist in the head.

Angelo Bennett, 24, is charged with murder, attempted murder and aggravated battery with a firearm in connection with last weekend’s confrontation.

His attorney, John Miraglia, said Bennett was attacked after a minor accident by the driver of the other car. Miraglia said the much larger man put Bennett in a headlock and hit him hard enough to leave a gash on the top of Bennett’s head.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Bennett was ordered held without bail Friday.

Pretty but dangerous lanterns banned CHICAGO – What goes up must come down – and if it’s a floating lantern, it poses a serious danger.

That’s why the Illinois fire marshal’s office has issued an official notice banning sky lanterns in the state. The pretty but hazardous devices are also sometimes called aerial luminaries.

State Fire Marshal Larry Matkaitis said sky lanterns launched during celebrations “can turn into tragedy.”

Officials said the lanterns can travel long distances, starting forest or house fires when they finally drift down to earth.

Aviation authorities have also expressed concerns the devices can distract or disorient pilots.

Illinois joins many other states with similar bans.

Although mission of IRS has not changed, public opinion has

By CALVIN WOODWARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – For a time, the Internal Revenue Service inspired awe and admiration in Americans, not just trepidation and lame jokes about death and taxes. Everyone loved the revenue agents when they put away Al Capone, the Chicago underworld’s master of brutality and bribes, in a coup so spectacular it scared other gangsters straight.

In the year after, federal coffers swelled as delinquent taxpayers stepped forward to make good on their debts.

Criminals came out of the woodwork to pay taxes on their ill-gotten gains. Authorities in what was then the Intelligence Unit of the Bureau of Internal Revenue nailed the slippery Public Enemy No. 1 when no one else could, scooped up New York City racketeers by the dozen and stood tall in the popular imagination as incorruptible, fearless stewards of the treasury and the law.

Fine, but that was the 1930s.

What have they done for us lately? Or to us?

The essential mission hasn’t changed. The IRS still collects the money that goes back out to build roads, help look after people in their old age, fight menaces from Nazism to terrorism, and operate the vast levers of government. It still locks up a few thousand delinquents a year, among them drug kingpins who wouldn’t be caught any other way.

But no one loves the IRS anymore. It’s our culture’s king-sized pain that makes you do hard math, issues nonsensical directions, takes your money and gives it to politicians to waste even as they borrow unspeakable sums from China to waste even more.

On top of that caricature, the agency now is saddled with its episode of tea party tumult, exposing IRS behavior that is memorably bumbling at best and criminal at worst.

More than 97,000 people work for the IRS, more than double the workforce of that other deeply inquisitive and all-seeing institution, Google.

That includes 13,000 revenue agents and more than 1,500 lawyers, about as many attorneys as practice statewide in North Dakota. It’s bigger than some Cabinet departments – Transportation for one.

Employment has dropped by about 10,000 since 2010.

The perception of the “taxman” probably should give way to tax woman because more than six in 10 employees are female, a substantially higher share than in both the civil service and U.S. labor force at large.

The IRS is something of a hybrid in its relationship with political masters, not the “independent agency” claimed

by President Barack Obama when he dissociated himself from its discriminatory audits of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status during the 2012 campaign.

It is partially independent, which is not at all like being a bit pregnant. On one hand, the president and his people at the White House are barred by law from pressing the IRS to start or stop a tax audit. This is to prevent the president from putting the heat on a political foe or going easy on a political friend, both tactics of the past.

The commissioner serves five-year terms, ensuring that

Okla. residents opt to flee tornadoes Rush clogged area roadways

By SEAN MURPHY The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY – It’s a warning as familiar as a daily prayer for Tornado Alley residents: When a twister approaches, take shelter in a basement or low-level interior room or closet, away from windows and exterior walls.

But with the powerful devastation from the May 20 twister that killed 24 and pummeled the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore still etched in their minds, many Oklahomans instead opted to flee Friday night when a violent tornado developed and headed toward the state’s capital city.

It was a dangerous decision to make.

Interstates and roadways already packed with rushhour traffic quickly became parking lots as people tried to escape the oncoming storm.

Motorists were trapped in their vehicles – a place emergency officials say is one of the worst to be in a tornado.

“It was chaos. People were going southbound in the northbound lanes. Everybody was running for their lives,” said Terri Black, 51, a teacher’s assistant in Moore.

Rilma Hulett carries a dish set Saturday from her friend Bobbie Steenbergen’s home in El Reno, Okla., that was destroyed by the tornado that swept through Central Oklahoma on Friday afternoon.

After seeing last month’s tornado also turn homes into piles of splintered rubble, Black said she decided to try and outrun the tornado when she learned her southwest Oklahoma City home was in harm’s way. She quickly regretted it.

When she realized she was a sitting duck in bumper-tobumper traffic, Black turned around and found herself directly in the path of the most violent part of the storm.

“My car was actually lifted off the road and then set back down,” Black said. “The trees were leaning literally to the ground. The rain was coming down horizontally in front of my car. Big blue trash cans were being tossed around like

a piece of paper in the wind.

“I’ll never do it again.”

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Betsy Randolph said the roadways were quickly congested with the convergence of rush-hour traffic and fleeing residents.

“They had no place to go, and that’s always a bad thing.

They were essentially targets just waiting for a tornado to touch down,” Randolph said.

“I’m not sure why people do that sort of stuff, but it is very dangerous. It not only puts them in harm’s way, but it adds to the congestion. It really is a bad idea for folks to do.”

At least nine people were killed in Friday’s storms, including a mother and her baby sucked out of their car

But the commissioner reports to the treasury secretary through the department’s deputy and can be fired at will by the president, which is not the case in more hands-off federal bodies. Indeed, the acting chief, Steven Miller, was ousted within days of the report coming to light showing the misbegotten actions of lower level employees; he was one of three senior officials to be sidelined in the continuing investigation.

as a deadly twister tore its way along a packed Interstate 40 near the town of El Reno, about 30 miles from Oklahoma City.

A 4-year-old boy died after being swept into the Oklahoma River on the south side of Oklahoma City, said Oklahoma City police Lt. Jay Barnett. The boy and other family members had sought shelter in a drainage ditch.

More than 100 people were injured, most of those from punctures and lacerations from swirling debris, emergency officials reported.

Oklahoma wasn’t the only state to see violent weather on Friday night. In Missouri, areas west of St. Louis received significant damage from an EF3 tornado that packed estimated winds of 150 mph. In St. Charles County, at least 71 homes were heavily damaged and 100 had slight to moderate damage, county spokeswoman Colene McEntee said.

Tens of thousands were without power, and only eight minor injuries were reported.

Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency.

Northeast of St. Louis and across the Mississippi, the city of Roxana was hit by an EF3 tornado as well, but National Weather Service meteorologist Jayson Gosselin said it wasn’t clear whether the damage in both states came from the same EF3 twister or separate ones.

Republicans divided on covering uninsured The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – It’s Republican versus Republican in the latest round of political battles over health care.

Conservative Republican legislators in major states are trying to block efforts by more pragmatic governors of their own party to accept health insurance for more low-income residents under President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Unlike their congressional counterparts, who’ve misfired in repeated attempts to torpedo the law, state Republicans may well sink the expansion of Medicaid in populous states such as Florida and Michigan.

That would mean leaving billions of dollars in federal matching funds on the table and hundreds of thousands of

the poor uninsured.

Nine Republican governors supported or accepted the Medicaid expansion, a major component of the health care law taking effect Jan. 1. It’s designed to provide coverage to about 20 million uninsured people if all states accept. Washington would pick up the full cost for the first three years and 90 percent over the long haul.

Those helped would mainly be low-income adults with no children at home, people working jobs that pay little and don’t come with health insurance. For uninsured adults below the poverty line, expanded Medicaid is the only way to get coverage under the new law. But middle-class people will be eligible for subsidized private insurance.

Feds crack down on foreclosure auction scams

By PAUL ELIAS The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – At the height of the financial crisis, bargain hunters would gather each week on county courthouse steps to bid on foreclosed properties throughout Northern and Central California. The inventory lists were long, especially in hard-hit areas such as Sacramento and Stockton. But the auctions were generally short affairs – often because real estate speculators were illegally fixing the bidding process.

In the past three years, federal prosecutors have charged 54 people and two companies in three states for bid-rigging during courthouse auctions of foreclosed properties. Most cases originated in California, the state with the highest foreclosure rate during the financial crisis. Nearly identical rings were also broken up in Raleigh, N.C., and Mobile, Ala. Working in concert, the would-be buyers would appoint just one person to bid on each property on the auction block, thus securing the “winning” bid. Minutes after the official proceeding was over, they would then conduct an auction among themselves, often on the same courthouse steps.

That’s when a property’s true price would emerge. The conspirators would then divvy up the difference paid at the official auction and the private one.

Federal prosecutors say such schemes have operated for decades, once earning a few thousand dollars per property. But the explosion of foreclosures amid the coun-

try’s financial meltdown a few years ago upped illicit gains to millions of dollars. The scammers took money that otherwise would have gone to banks selling the foreclosed properties or beleaguered homeowners who should have been compensated.

The bidding investigations are being driven by a special task force established at the U.S. Justice Department in the wake of the financial crisis to combat mortgage fraud.

The probes aim to “stop those who engage in illegal conduct that thwarts the competitive process, and take advantage of American consumers when they are most vulnerable,” said Assistant Attorney General Bill Baer, head of DOJ’s antitrust division in Washington, D.C. Prosecutors say the circle of conspirators gradually widened at each courthouse: First-time buyers would be brought into the conspiracy as an increasing number of speculators attended the auctions. Those not in on the schemes were often pressured not to return by verbal harassment and, in some cases, physical jostling.

In the last two years, more than 30 people have pleaded guilty to participating in a series of courthouse bid-rigging conspiracies in Northern California counties. Another 11 have been busted in Central California. Similar prosecutions have been carried out in Alabama, where eight people have pleaded guilty in Mobile in the last two years. Five others have pleaded guilty in North Carolina since 2010 to operating a bidding conspiracy around Raleigh.

8NATION BRIEFS Jean Stapleton, TV’s Edith Bunker, dies at age 90

five years in a row.

NEW YORK – Jean Stapleton, who played Edith Bunker in the groundbreaking 1970s TV comedy “All in the Family,” has died. She was 90.

The letters, an outgrowth of the USA Patriot Act passed after the Sept. 11 attacks, are supposed to be used exclusively for national security purposes and are sent without judicial review.

supporting expansion are Jan Brewer in Arizona, Rick Scott in Florida, Terry Branstad in Iowa, Rick Snyder in Michigan, Brian Sandoval in Nevada, Chris Christie in New Jersey, Susana Martinez in New Mexico, Jack Dalrymple in North Dakota and John Kasich in Ohio. Initially, some observers saw a shift toward pragmatism among Republicans and predicted the governors would get their way.

Now experts are not so sure.

Four of the GOP governors have run into real battles. Expansion prospects are flickering in Florida and Michigan.

In Ohio, Kasich’s legendary deal-making abilities are being tested. In Arizona, Brewer is trying to stare down Republicans in the state House, and the coming week may determine who prevails.

By BRIAN MURPHY The Associated Press DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – On a recent blustery night, with a sandstorm kicking up, Kuwait’s own Arab Spring was playing out on a quiet road of villas and tall palms.

There a group of protesters gathered to recite a speech – one after the other, word for word – that accused Kuwait’s ruler of suppressing dissent.

The speech had been delivered last year by Musallam al-Barrack, then a parliament member, and had earned him a five-year prison sentence for supposedly insulting the emir, Sheik Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah.

In previous times, that might have been the end of the affair. But 57-year-old al-Barrack’s supporters were determined to demonstrate that the Arab Spring stops for no one, and this week they won a partial victory when a court reversed the sentence and gave Barrack a chance to continue his principled dissent.

The drama sums up the latest and perhaps most important and enduring phase of the Arab Spring, at least in the Gulf region: Instead of more violence, explosions and crackdowns, the scenario now envisioned by many experts is a revolution transformed into nonviolent give-and-take between rulers and the ruled.

In this phase, the hereditary monarchs would keep their jobs but gradually surrender at least a share of power under a system of laws.

The revolution that steamrolled from Tunisia to Egypt and beyond in 2011 remains locked in horrific seesawing

battles in Syria and simmering unrest in Bahrain. But the days of broad, falling-domino rebellions have likely run their course. If Syrian President Bashar Assad goes, he will be the fifth ruler to be toppled, but elsewhere the demands appear to be aiming lower and the resulting changes look more incremental.

“The Arab Spring is moving into, let’s say, a more mature phase,” says Ali alAhmed, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Institute of Gulf Affairs. “There is Syria, of course. But the rest of the region is moving into a slow burn now.

“Voices are speaking up against corruption and political arrogance in the Gulf, but also in places like Egypt and Tunisia that went through their revolutions and are still undergoing a political shakeout.”

The Western-backed Arab royals are a close-knit alliance of sheiks, kings and emirs ruling more than 40 million citizens from Kuwait to Oman. The kings of Jordan and Morocco rule some 40 million more.

All face various pressures seeking to chip away at their powers and privileges.

The demands remain generally too weak and disjointed to seriously threaten their rule, but they still carry significance.

Each concession by the sheiks and monarchs is an acknowledgment that they cannot insulate themselves from the Arab Spring, and that for their long-term survival they will have to give the public greater say in everything from their freedoms to their ties to Washington.

Official: ‘We’re excited we will be able to offer more services to our students’ • D-47 Continued from page A1 half-day and full-day kindergarten still are being developed, Bevevino said. She said the preferred option would be to keep the half-day and fullday students together, which would require all academic courses to be taught before lunch.

At lunch, half-day students would go home while the fullday children would have a break. Those students then would have “encores,” including art, music, health, library and physical education in the second half of the day.

Other options include busing half-day students to one facility, Bevevino said, but parents wanted their children to stay in their home school, or teaching the groups separately in the same room, which is not feasible because there are only seven to eight half-day students in each building and not enough teachers.

“We’re really trying to embed the half-day students into the full-day program and keep everyone at their home school,” she said. “We want to do what is best for families and fiscally responsible.”

Board member Ron Fetzner said full-day kindergarten is a topic parents have brought up to him for years and said he is glad to finally see it come

to fruition. Fetzner said that with state academic standards increasing, every extra minute with students is valuable.

“I thought we were real responsible about not just jumping into it,” he said of implementing the program. “Now we’re excited we will be able to offer more services to our students and families.”

The district hired 8.5 fulltime equivalent positions for the program, which is estimated to cost $5.5 million over five years. While officials wanted to avoid a fee, there will be a $135 monthly charge for the program – down from the $170 per month that was considered.

Families needing financial assistance can receive waivers. Bevevino said 88 of 90 waiver applications have been approved for next year.

Bevevino said she hopes the program will not require a fee in the future, but believes the district is off to a strong and fair start, especially considering her grandchildren in District 300 are in a program that costs $225 per month and uses a lottery for selection.

“We didn’t want to have to charge anything, and maybe someday we won’t have to,” she said. “But I think we’re off to a great start. I know all of the teachers are very excited and already have a lot of great ideas.”

Design Your Savings To Last For As Long As You Live

ISTANBUL – In a scene reminiscent of the Arab Spring, thousands of people Saturday flooded Istanbul’s main square after a crackdown on an anti-government protest turned city streets into a battlefield clouded by tear gas. Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan remained largely defiant in the face of the biggest popular challenge to his power in a decade in office, insisting the protests are undemocratic and illegitimate.

Public anger has flared among urban and secular Turks after police violently broke up an anti-development sit-in in Taksim Square, with protests spreading to dozens of other cities as demonstrators denounced what they see as Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian style.

Therapies often a part of treatment for mental illness

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com Doctors might recommend therapy as a treatment for mental illness, and there is a wide array of therapy approaches.

Programs offered at Centegra’s 24-bed behavioral health unit in Woodstock include art therapy groups, spirituality groups, nutritional education and exercise groups, said Lori Sullivan, clinical nurse manager for the unit.

Art therapy is a way for patients to express what is going on without talking, said Dr. Sheila Senn, vice president and site administrator for Centegra Hospital – Woodstock.

“Some people aren’t as comfortable or as skilled expressing themselves verbally and so when you use different modes or mediums of expression, it can help people get to clarity or process through a particular issue,” Senn said. “Someone might be more comfortable or able to draw out an experience than to talk about it. Somethings come through the drawings that you’re not even aware of having a problem with, but they’re there. ... For some people, it’s even less threatening.”

Centegra also has music therapy and even has patients try yoga.

“We want people to leave here with some coping skills, not just a prescription,” Senn said. “One of the most important things we try

Voice your opinion Is anyone in your family affected by mental illness? Vote online at NWHerald.com. to do is give people tools to stay well and cope with their issues.”

In group therapy, patients share what they’re going through and find they have experiences in common.

At Centegra, group therapy takes place in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Kevin Kloosterman, primary therapist with Centegra behavioral health, said each patient has the opportunity to share how their week went. He encourages them to share what’s working, any coping tools they employ, and any barriers that are making it difficult to move forward.

When people first get into group therapy, they might not open up right away in front of strangers. Eventually, however, they do open up.

“They begin to trust the group, they begin to connect with the other group members and the staff. Most people will say group therapy has been very helpful for them,” Kloosterman said. “Some will say it has been life-changing, because they’re able to see things through the eyes of other group members they’ve never seen before.”

The former Family Service and Community Mental Health Center building on Veterans Parkway in McHenry. Family Service closed about a year ago, leaving about 6,000 people looking for help.

Crisis line fielded more calls after Family Service closed • GAP Continued from page A1 “That was a pretty dramatic time for our local system,” Schroll said. “I think our local partners stepped up very well to figure out how to connect with our clients who were displaced by that closure.”

Schroll said the board believes individuals who were served by Family Service have either found services elsewhere – or are still disconnected and waiting to re-enter the system. The second thought is a concern, he said, because often they wait until there is a crisis to seek help.

Because of the closure, the Mental Health Board increased its monitoring of wait lists, capacity of organizations and reallocated funding.

“We know after Family Service closed, we did lose some psychiatrists, and the capacity shifted,” Schroll said. “Some left the county, some began working for other organizations.”

At Pioneer Center for Human Services, the Behavioral Health Services and Counseling division went from having 1,000 clients to 4,200 clients in the last year, said Patrick Maynard, the president and CEO of the social service agency.

Pioneer also had to hire more therapists and counselors, including at least 10 people from Family Service, to serve the additional clients, Maynard said.

“We have the same mission,” Maynard said. “There was demand from our clients and we have to respond.”

The closure of Family Service also led to more people going to emergency rooms, according to Centegra.

The hospital system also saw a jump in calls to the crisis line it manages. There were 1,397 calls in June 2012, and it jumped to 2,018 a month later. Family Service closed in late June 2012.

Centegra had to hire an additional person to assist in answering the line because the higher rate persisted.

Health board official says level of help determined by initial assessment • CARE Continued from page A1 The National Alliance on Mental Issues defines “mental illness” as a medical condition that disrupts a person’s thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others and daily functioning. Illnesses include depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Those diagnosed with mental illness have different types of support in McHenry available to them – even with the closure nearly a year ago of Family Service and Community Mental Health Center – and finding the right fit is important for working toward recovery.

Weiss, for instance, makes the 40-minute drive each way every Wednesday from Twin Lakes, alternating between group therapy in Woodstock and one-on-one sessions with her therapist.

“This works,” Weiss said. “If I had some other serious illness, I want the best care there is.”

She started taking group therapy when she was hospitalized twice for five days, first in November 2008 and then in May 2010, at Centegra Specialty Hospital in Woodstock-South Street Campus.

“When you’re sitting in a room with people struggling with the same issues that you’re struggling with, they say, ‘I know how you feel,’ ” Weiss said.

Crossing hurdles Mental illness spans a broad spectrum, said Brett Wisnauski, president of the McHenry County Mental Health Board. Some diagnosed with a mental illness might have a short-term problem that needs medication. Others might be chronically ill and difficult to treat.

And many face hurdles in the

MAKING THE DIAGNOSIS About 20 percent of the population is estimated to be going through some sort of mental illness, some simple enough to handle with medication, some chronic.

Causes: Environment, medical conditions and genetics can contribute to mental illness.

Signs: Depression, mood changes, memory problems, changes in energy levels, and changes in weight in a short period of time.

Diagnosis: After a diagnosis, in what could be in an hour-long session, patients are often given follow-up appointments, which would be shorter in length.

Treatment: Can include medication, group therapy, inpatient services, and day programs, some more intense than others.

Source: Dr. Chandra Vedak, medical director for Horizons Behavioral Health path toward recovery. Medications can be expensive, and some people may stop taking prescriptions – even if they work – once they feel better, Wisnauski said.

Others stop if the side effects are bad, and many resort to illicit drugs or alcohol as a means to feel better.

Those seeking inpatient treatment in McHenry County go to Centegra Specialty Hospital in Woodstock, the county’s only inpatient mental health facility for adults. Children and adolescents requiring inpatient mental health treatment have to go outside the county.

The inside of the behavioral health unit is not like most hospitals. Doctors and nurses wear dress pants and shirts, and patients are in regular clothes instead of hospital gowns. Patient rooms don’t have oxygen connections, telephones, televisions or any cords.

“The rooms are modified so they are safer,” said Lori Sullivan, the clinical nurse manager for inpatient behavioral health for Centegra.

Adults at the behavioral health unit stay five to six days in a structured environment, with patients meeting in groups and going through different therapies, such as art therapy, pastoral care, nutritional education or exercise

therapy.

Patients meet with a staff member, and have an assigned social worker and discharge planner to help determine the services needed after leaving the unit.

But, as is the case with many medical services, costs are a constant problem.

It costs Centegra $8.5 million annually to run the unit. Dr. Sheila Senn, Centegra vice president and site administrator for Centegra Hospital – Woodstock, said a number of patients in the behavioral health unit don’t have insurance.

About 41 percent of the Behavioral Health patients have Medicaid or are self-pay, so they are either uninsured, do not name an insurer or choose to pay out of pocket. That’s a significantly higher percentage of patients when compared to the rest of the health system, which is just 16 percent, according to Centegra officials.

Despite revenues often not covering expenses, Centegra officials say they are committed to meeting the community’s needs.

Centegra is helped by the Mental Health Board, which provides funding for those without insurance. Senn said the board contributed about $500,000 last year alone.

But the funding from the county doesn’t cover all of the loss.

“There’s been a lot of comment

about the value of the mental health board,” Senn said. “From our perspective, in our community, people are able to access services because of the funding.”

So few beds Not many hospitals have behavioral health inpatient units as, from a business perspective, the units usually run a loss.

When Dr. Chandra Vedak, medical director for Horizons Behavioral Health, is on call at Centegra, finding a bed for a patient can be difficult.

“There are times I see that the crisis worker has called 22 hospitals to find a bed for patients who have come to the emergency room,” Vedak said. “The number of mental health inpatient units have closed down because of resources.”

A May 2011 study by the Illinois Hospital Association found that the number of licensed psychiatric beds in the state has decreased from 5,350 in 1991 to 3,869 in 2010.

Having 24 inpatient beds at Centegra is better than nothing, and without it, patients would be in the emergency room or on a medical floor, Senn said. Some wait three or four days for an available bed.

“It’s really terrible,” Senn said.

“Unfortunately, we’ll have people waiting here because we don’t have a bed, and no one else does.”

A person in crisis might be able to get medication in an emergency room, Sullivan said, but no other treatment. And they need the highest level of treatment, she said.

“The ultimate reason they need inpatient care is because they’re not safe to be at home,” Sullivan added.

Finding help Many people with mental illness opt for treatment through outpatient facilities, such as seeing a psychiatrist or using local social service agencies.

Horizons Behavioral Health is one such organization. In 2008, Centegra sold it to a group of psychiatrists, including Vedak.

When Centegra owned Horizons, it was losing $1 million to $1.5 million a year, Vedak said.

It costs about $3 million a year to run Horizons. Although challenging, Horizons continues to stay afloat.

“We asked them to run the outfit ourselves, and they agreed,” Vedak said. “Centegra has been pretty good and continues to provide the services; they are essential services. I don’t know if they would have closed down the practice or not, but we didn’t want to get to that stage.”

The level of help a person receives, regardless of where they go, needs to be determined by an initial assessment. A person wouldn’t necessarily jump right into inpatient care, said Todd Schroll, interim executive director of the Mental Health Board.

The push is to move toward community-based care, Schroll said, with the length of treatment depending on the severity of the illness. Caregivers help with stabilizing the crisis and figure out proper coping strategies.

“We truly believe recovery is attainable, it’s an expectation of care and that’s what we promote as a mental health board,” Schroll said.

Weiss had to go through four to five combinations of medication before determining which set helped her. Her keys to dealing with mental illness are having a therapist she trusts and the right combination of medications.

“I go out of my way to do what’s right for me,” Weiss said. “Part of why I’m doing so well is my disorder is something I manage.”

She hasn’t had a crisis in two years.

“It is possible to recover,” Weiss said. “You live with it and deal with it on a day-to-day basis.”

I go out of my way to do what’s right for me. Part of why I’m doing so well is my disorder is something I manage. ... It is possible to recover. You live with it and deal with it on a day-to-day basis.” – Leslie Weiss, of Twin Lakes, Wis., on having bipolar disorder

Rockets fired from Syria strike Hezbollah stronghold in Lebanon The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT – Eighteen rockets and mortar rounds from Syria slammed into Lebanon on Saturday, the largest cross-border salvo to hit a Hezbollah stronghold since Syrian rebels threatened to retaliate for the Lebanese militant group’s armed support of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The rockets targeted the Baalbek region, the latest sign that Syria’s civil war is increasingly destabilizing Lebanon. On Friday, the Lebanese parliament decided to put off general elections, originally scheduled for June, by 17 months, blaming a deteriorat-

ing security situation.

In Qatar, an influential Sunni Muslim cleric whose TV show is watched by millions across the region, fanned the sectarian flames ignited by the Syria conflict and urged Sunnis everywhere to join the fight against Assad.

“I call on Muslims everywhere to help their brothers be victorious,” Yusuf al-Qaradawi said in his Friday sermon in the Qatari capital of Doha.

“If I had the ability I would go and fight with them.”

“Everyone who has the ability and has training to kill ... is required to go,” said al-Qaradawi, who is in his 80s.

“We cannot ask our brothers

to be killed while we watch.”

He denounced Assad’s Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, as “more infidel than Christians and Jews” and Shiite Muslim Hezbollah as “the party of the devil.”

He said there is no more common ground between Shiites and Sunnis, alleging that Shiite Iran – a longtime Syria ally that has supplied the regime with cash and weapons – is trying to “devour” Sunnis.

The Syrian conflict, now in its third year, has taken on dark sectarian overtones. It has escalated from a local uprising into a civil war and is now increasingly shifting into a proxy war.

Affordable housing still big concern McHenry County has had an affordable housing problem for decades, but there isn’t much will among either elected officials or the public to improve the outlook.

Affordable housing isn’t For the record about failed public housing projIncreasing the number of ects or Section 8 affordable housing options housing. It means should be embraced in having a housMcHenry County, not discouring supply that is aged. affordable for the vast majority of the people here.

That population includes senior citizens, who are too often getting taxed out of their homes. It also means manufacturing employees who are vital to the county’s economic success, and young people starting their careers who are necessary to keep communities thriving.

According to McHenry County’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan, more than 40 percent of local families are living in homes they can’t afford.

When families have to spend more than half their income on rent or mortgage, other problems emerge. Local economies suffer when so many families have little disposable income.

While the problem has been here for a long time, it’s getting worse. That’s the case despite the significant decrease in home prices. Between 2000 and 2009, the number of rental units that cost more than $1,000 per month increased by about 200 percent. At the same time, McHenry County lost about one-third of its units that rented for less than $500 a month.

It takes a salary of $38,320 a year – $18 an hour – to afford the fair market rent of a McHenry County two-bedroom apartment at $958 a month. It’s hard enough for young people to find jobs, much less find one in a community in which they can afford to live.

We should want our local workforce – from top to bottom – to be able to live in McHenry County. Those who work here but live elsewhere spend money and pay taxes in other communities. It’s the opposite of community sustainability.

The housing market crash gave municipalities an opportunity to fill our affordable housing need during this slow time for growth. We encourage local governments to identify parts of town where affordable housing best is suited and be open to such developments.

Increasing the number of affordable housing options should be embraced in McHenry County instead of discouraged.

Great neighbors To the Editor: I would like to send a special thank you to Deb Naughton, president of Orchard Heights subdivision. I don’t think everyone knows how hard she worked to inform and aid people even though she herself was deeply affected by the flood.

Also a special thank you to the other board members and Nunda Township for all their help. Thanks

to them, we made it through.

We’re lucky for great neighbors who stuck together and make it a nice place to live.

Sink holes To the Editor: We hear and see a lot about sink holes, and I wonder why there are not more of them. So many things are being taken out of the earth that it’s a wonder why the entire earth doesn’t become a sink hole.

Minerals, water, coal, gas, smoke and soot from volcanoes, molten lava, All of these things are leaving voids that turn into sink holes. Most of the things that are removed from the earth are consumed. So there has got to be huge voids left from them everywhere.

When oil wells are drilled, they not only go straight down, the direction can be changed to go

anywhere, and for miles. So no one can say where these voids may occur.

When coal is mined deep in the earth, it usually is shored up for the safety of the miners. When the coal runs out, the mining stops but the void remains. When the oil runs out, the pumps are shut off, but the void remains.

concerned about it.

My school science classes taught that the earth is round and gravity is constantly pulling everything into it. That was years ago. But I don’t think that that fact has changed.

When the profit is gone, so is the interest. The earth is a great place to be, but it is sometimes a very scary place to be.

Saying that the war on terror is over doesn’t make it so WASHINGTON – It’s good to know that the war on terror is finally over. It was all so ugly, what with the beheadings and bombings.

Wait.

Weren’t we just talking about the IRS targeting conservative groups and the Justice Department secretly seizing reporters’ phone records?

Weren’t we just talking about how no effort was made to rescue our people in Benghazi? The official line is that we couldn’t have gotten there in time but, as numerous military readers have pointed out to me, no one knew how long the siege would last. How, then, could anyone have known that there wasn’t time to get there? Turns out maybe, though hindsight isn’t much of a military strategy.

But, then, I am behind the news.

While I was temporarily suspended in a fever-induced fugue, someone apparently changed the subject.

More relevant – suddenly! – are drones, Gitmo and the end of war.

Fine, then. Let’s do war.

In a 7,000-word speech that has been praised as oratory for grown-

ups (dissenters presumably are childish), President Barack Obama intoned that the time has come to end the war on terror.

Hear, hear.

But does saying it’s so make it so?

Surely the limbless victims of the Boston marathon bombing, perpetrated by radicalized Muslims, have no such sense of the end of terror.

Certainly the family of a British soldier recently hacked to death in a London street by ranting Islamist lunatics shares no such understanding of things.

Obama’s central point was that we should keep our eye on the individual or terrorist cell but end the open-endedness of our wartime footing. Our postwar strategy would depend largely on the use of drone strikes – remote and tidy by usual war standards.

Most Americans, though reluctant to enthusiastically support robot-propelled weaponry against unsuspecting strangers (aka evildoers), support Obama’s drone policy, nonetheless. They do draw

VIEWS Kathleen Parker the line at killing U.S. citizens on American soil and also oppose using drones to catch speeders, according to polling.

It is a nice thought, the end of war. To make official our non-war stance, Obama wants to end the Authorization for Use of Military Force passed by Congress in the aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Noting that no president can promise to end all terror, or the enmity that informs terrorism, our nation can ill-afford to continue to define itself by an endless war.

Whether the authorization should be eliminated will be debated in Congress. But lest we swoon ourselves into a state of Britishstyle appeasement (their solution to the recent attack is for soldiers not to wear uniforms), we should be mindful that Obama has maintained

and/or ratcheted up nearly every objectionable measure instituted by his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Obama kept Gitmo because, like Bush, he discovered he couldn’t close it. He kept and boosted security measures, including increasing surveillance and expanding law enforcement powers, even though Bush was loathed for his draconian measures.

Once during an interview, Bush told me that he had made the hard decisions and put the unpopular things in place. He promised that his successor would be grateful.

“The next president will need them.”

In his speech, Obama said all the right things about how some security measures have “raised difficult questions about the balance we strike between our interests in security and our values of privacy.”

Sounds good, but let’s be clear: Worry or not, we’ve landed on the side of further limiting liberties.

Similarly, we may end the war on terror, but we will still rain shock and awe on perceived enemies

“Harvard Milk Days!

For sure! Been going since I was a baby, and missed them when we moved away.”

where they sleep, and – in the collateral damage we say we hate but ruefully accept – on the innocents sleeping nearby.

To Obama’s credit, he has ended the use of torture. We became temporarily insane after 9/11, willing to do almost anything to prevent the next attack. But torture, besides producing unreliable information, is contrary to our national soul and a blemish on our history. We cannot express moral outrage at the actions of others when we are committing the morally outrageous.

Finally, to the larger point, the war on terror is not over and saying so won’t make it so. We may change our strategies, but we should not convince ourselves that our enemies are contained.

Rather, they are like cicadas, rising from their subterranean berths to wreak havoc when the time is ripe. Let’s hope we’re ready when that time comes.

Fox Lake polishing pitch Village commission looking into ways to attract more development

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – Fox Lake has a 12-week plan for putting together a sales pitch for the village, its village president said.

Over the course of the 12

weeks, the Plan Commission will identify vacant properties; properties potentially ready for development, such as the closed Mineola Hotel and Lions Club; and research adjacent properties for possible big-box stores.

“I wanted to keep this

moving,” Village President Donny Schmit said. “In order to have development next year, we’ve got to get hustling on this.”

The plan is on the commission’s agenda for its meeting Wednesday evening, but what they’ll discuss isn’t “set

He plans on meeting with Schmit ahead of the meeting to “flesh out” the commission’s responsibilities.

UNTLEY – Miranda Peterson reminded her classmates Saturday that they were standing on the next stage of their

lives.

The memories of football games, classes, dances and even the random mustache-themed parties in the cafeteria that helped unite the graduating seniors at Huntley High School will live on, but also give way to new memories, the valedictorian said.

“There is always another adventure, big or small, waiting to be undertaken,” Peterson said. “Where we are at now, there a lot of adventures before us.”

Peterson and 465 other Huntley High graduates crossed the stage inside the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffmann Estates to receive their diplomas Saturday, marking a bittersweet end to their high school careers.

The moment is meant to celebrate the past but also look toward the fu-

Many of Huntley High’s 2013 graduating class will go their separate ways to pursue college, a career or military service. But they shouldn’t

forget about the teachers, the faculty and friends that helped them reach graduation day, Gorski said.

Where she once saw a beautiful home on 635 Primrose Lane with a well-tended lawn and garden, she now sees a pile of old furniture and trash, grass creeping toward a foot in length, city notices plastered on the front door, and something rotting on the back stoop.

FOX RIVER GROVE – Construction infrastructure projects around town for the summer are moving along.

Fox River Grove officials recently reviewed the progress on capital projects, which is a focus of the village’s budget this year.

Resurfacing of roads in the Victoria Woods subdivision and replacement of certain sidewalks is underway. The project is anticipated to be completed by the end of June.

“The resurfacing of the Victoria Woods subdivision is part of the village’s long-term plan to replace village infrastructure,” Village President Robert Nunamaker said.

Workers have begun paving a parking lot in Lions Park. The new lot will include 49 parking spaces, two of which will be handicapped spaces. The project is anticipated to be completed by the end of June, the village said in a news release.

The parking lot work at Lions Park and the Victoria Woods subdivision work is estimated to cost $639,900.

Other projects around town have recently been completed.

The village extended water and sewer lines on County Line Road to a site designated for the new public works facility in the future. Because the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency required upgrades at the wastewater treatment facility, the village will need to move the public works operations from the

JOHNSBURG: WORK ZONES

By EMILY K. COLEMAN

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Detour’s main shortcut to get from the Northwest Herald building to the county government complex in Woodstock is shutting down Monday. • FLEMING ROAD: Work starts tomorrow to repair the scenic, but decaying, 2 ½-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.

• CHARLES MILLER ROAD: River Road driving lanes will be reconfigured Monday to eliminate the northbound leftturn lane for the duration of the first phase of widening the Charles Miller Road bridge and improving the intersection of Miller and River roads.

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

The first phase, which consists primarily of building the new span, will cost about $12 million and is anticipated to be finished by the end of October, weather permitting. • ROUTE 14: Some of you may think this is good – one fewer construction site to deal with – but the state pushed back the widening of Route 14 between Crystal Lake and Woodstock back another year. • JOHNSBURG ROAD: Only

Eastbound traffic is being rerouted through a Route 31, Route 120, Chapel Hill Road detour.

Work starts this week to raise the roadway west of the Johnsburg Road hill, and installation of new storm sewers continues. Expect delays as deliveries of pipe and stone continue to worksites.

• 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 workers who are rebuilding the Route 20 overpass. • 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.

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

Road and Linden Avenue.

Huntington Drive will remain closed between Circle Drive and South Main Street through summer 2014. A detour to Edgewood Drive is posted.

• 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.

Final paving is wrapping up, and the flashing beacons at a pedestrian crossing and the multi-use path crossing will be activated this week.

The permanent traffic signals at Route 176 and Walkup Road are set to be activated Thursday.

The three-phase project widens and improves about 6 miles of Walkup Road between Bull Valley Road and Route 176. • ROUTES 31 AND 176: Workers closed East Terra Cotta Avenue, east of the intersection, on April 16. Watch for workers.

JOHNSBURG – Work has begun on repaving 3.3 miles of village roads, the village administrator said.

Over the next four to five weeks, weather permitting, the contractor, Peter Baker and Sons Co., will resurface 13 roads in six subdivisions and the Prairie Commerce Center, Village Administrator Claudett Peters said.

The company was the low bidder on the project at just over $540,000, under the $600,000 cap recommended

by the Public Works Committee.

About two-thirds of the project will be paid for using motor-fuel tax funds.

The remainder will come from the village’s general fund, Trustee Kevin McEvoy said.

The roads were chosen based off the public works department’s rating. They include: • Miller Road; • Heather Lane, Aster Court and Dakota Ridge in Prairie View Estates; • Hiller Ridge and Fieldstone Way in Prairie Com-

Village staff will soon request proposals • FOX LAKE Continued from page B1 would hire a marketing firm to assess the village’s strengths and weaknesses, development opportunities and the appearance of the village.

Staff is putting together a request for proposals, Schmit

said. He estimated it would cost the village about $30,000.

The plan also calls for expanding the Business District Development Commission to five or seven members from three and creating a business-friendly page on the website.

The page would specifically lay out for developers pertinent statistics, photos

and available development opportunities.

Further down the road, in six to eight months, Schmit also is proposing the village hire a community development director.

Most of these moves, including hiring an outside marketing firm, would require approval by the whole Village Board.

Structure of house is deteriorating • GARBAGE Continued from page B1 and a situation she has found nearly impossible to change.

“I guess you can find a foreclosed home, and if you are related to the old owner, you can dump your garbage there and you’re within your rights,” she said. “Evidently there is nothing we can do, and as a taxpayer, I’m furious. It makes me sick.”

McEvilly said problems began after the daughter of the original owner and some of her friends moved into the foreclosed property last August and lived there until January. After they moved out, they came back in May and started leaving old furniture and other unwanted items on the property.

At the same time, the yard has been neglected and the structure has deteriorated.

McEvilly said she has contacted city departments, police and the mortgage company but was told every agency is limited in what it can do.

She said the city has posted notices on the house to remove the garbage, which has been unsuccessful, and

“Evidently there is nothing we can do, and as a taxpayer, I’m furious. It makes me sick.”

Pat McEvilly Primrose Lane resident, on garbage piling up at an abandoned house the mortgage company said it would be able to remove the garbage on May 28, which also did not happen.

The city cannot legally mow the lawn until grass length exceeds 8 inches.

“The house next to us is definitely going to ruin our property values,” she said, noting that her property’s value already has plummeted $60,000 from the poor housing market and economy. “This is happening all over this country, so it is no surprise our property values are falling when trashing a house by someone who doesn’t even own it is ... protected by law.”

Rick Paulson, building commissioner for Crystal Lake, said foreclosures can be a lengthy and frustrating process because of the “lis pendens” period – the time

between the foreclosure notice and when the bank or mortgage company legally takes possession. It can be anywhere from 18 months to two years, Paulson said.

During that time, Paulson said banks could allow the owner to stay in order for the property to be easily maintained or some owners could be so aggravated they destroy the inside of the house before leaving.

The varying circumstances surrounding foreclosures make it difficult to monitor, but Paulson encouraged residents who notice a foreclosed property to contact the city. While access is limited, he said the city still can enter the property in cases of smoke alarm activation or broken pipes, mow the grass and remove trash in some cases.

“My staff tries to educate residents and meet with neighbors of foreclosed properties about what the city can do to abate the problem to the extent of our capabilities,” he said. “We can’t be everywhere, so I like the residents to be our eyes, but they need to understand the process, too.”

8LOCAL BRIEFS Holiday Hills village board hires new treasurer HOLIDAY HILLS – The Holiday Hills Village Board hired a new treasurer Thursday afternoon.

Joseph Landers Jr. is a certified public accountant, providing tax and accounting services out of his McHenry-based office. He has a master’s degree in taxation from DePaul University.

He was picked from the three candidates interviewed because of his qualifications, Village President Daniel Drury said.

Former Village Treasurer Tami Chesler resigned because she said her full-time job was taking more of her time, Drury said.

She worked about 15 hours a week for $13.50 an hour, and Landers is willing to take the same pay, he said.

Landers, who has lived in Holiday Hills for 10 years, is

8OBITUARIES PENELOPE HANSEN COBB Born: Feb. 2, 1940; in Elgin Died: May 27, 2013; in Barrington CARY – Penelope H. Cobb, 73, passed away peacefully Monday, May 27, 2013, at JourneyCare (formerly Hospice & Palliative Care of Northeastern Illinois), surrounded by her loving family.

Penny was born Feb. 2, 1940, in Elgin, to the late Edward “Bud” and Roberta “Bobbie” Hansen. She was a longtime resident of Cary, a certificate holder in business from McHenry County College and a 1958 graduate of Crystal Lake Community High School.

Penny was a devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who loved her family dearly. She operated The Lighthouse ship’s store and sewed boat covers for the family business, Hansen Marine Service, until the business was sold in 1991.

She was an avid seamstress, knitter and cake decorator, who enjoyed designing and sewing Barbie doll clothes and selling them at the Ben Franklin store formerly in Cary where she also worked as a sales clerk. She was active in the Lake Killarney Women’s Club and served as president for a time.

She attended McHenry County College where she designed sets and acted in “Tartuffe” and “Death of a Salesman” and enjoyed attending concerts of the Crystal Lake Community Band. She was on the AdHoc Advisory Committee to plan Crystal Lake’s second high school, now Crystal Lake South High School; and was past president of the NIMC Stroke Club.

Penny married Paul W. Cobb on Nov. 25, 1981, in Bethesda, Md. She and Paul traveled to many of the United States capitals before his death in 2000.

Mrs. Cobb is survived by her daughters, Christine Davis and Candace (David) Bentley of Cary; a son, Randall (Laurie) Gee of Pingree Grove; grandchildren, Steven (Cassie) Kretschmar, Benjamin Davis, Aimee Kretschmar, Lorna (Jeff) Kolota, Brian and Brandon Adams, Bobby and Nicole Bentley, and Brandley Gee; a great-granddaughter, Jordyn Kretschmar; a sister, Pamela (Jesse) Pearman of Louisville, Ky.; and her beloved caregiver Becky Llamis.

Mrs. Cobb was preceded in death by her husband, Paul W. Cobb; a brother, Peter Hansen; a son-in-law, Stephen Davis; and

“This project was necessary to ensure the citizens of Fox River Grove continue to receive quality drinking water.”

Robert Nunamaker Fox River Grove village president built in 1924 and last had rehabilitation work done in 1972.

“This project was necessary to ensure the citizens of Fox River Grove continue to receive quality drinking water,” Nunamaker said.

The village will soon begin constructing walking paths in

her parents.

A private memorial service and inurnment shall take place at a later date.

Arrangements were made by Windridge Memorial Park, 7014 S. Rawson Bridge Road, Cary. For those wishing to send an expression of condolence, the family suggests that donations be made to JourneyCare, 405 Lake Zurich Road, Barrington, IL 60010.

New paths will be installed at Lions Park baseball field, playground and swings, at North River Park, at the Picnic Grove shelter, gazebo and playground, and at Hunter’s Farm Park and Foxmoor Park.

The village also plans to repave the Opatrny Walking Path, near the Picnic Grove subdivision.

Construction of a standalone warming station at the village’s Metra stop is close to completion. Once the new warming station is complete, the existing one will be demolished and will be replaced

Students say goodbye to school, retiring principal • GRADUATION Continued from page B1 “We won’t forget our school’s quirkiness, sophistication and undeniable sense of humor, but now is the time to leave our high school days behind us,” Gorski said. “Most of us won’t even see each other again.

Let this be a time to say our final goodbyes before we all leave the cradle of high school.”

Gorski will leave for Drake University to study actuarial science. Peterson will leave for the University of Michigan to study aerospace engineering.

Both credited the school’s teachers and families for helping them reach the next stage of their lives.

The class itself accomplished success. The speech team placed third in state, the girl’s basketball team placed fourth, and the staff at Huntley High’s student newspaper, The Voice, won numerous accolades.

In his welcome, District 158 Superintendent John Burkey expressed pride for the graduates and their accomplishments throughout their time at Huntley High.

He later honored retiring Principal Dave Johnson for his 17 years of work as the high school’s top administrator.

“You’re at a time in your life that a lot of people sitting around this arena wish they could go back to and relive again,” Burkey told the graduates. “You’re incredibly lucky at this point in time.”

CLASS 4A HUNTLEY SECTIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Jacobs one win from state

By JOE STEVENSON

Huntley Sectional final Jacobs 9, Dundee-Crown 0 Rockford Aviators Supersectional Jacobs vs. St. Charles East, 7 p.m. Monday

Online Watch highlights of Saturday’s sectional championship between Jacobs and Dundee-Crown at McHenryCountySports.com.

HUNTLEY – Apparently, the Jacobs baseball team already experienced all the late-inning excitement it needed for one week.

The Golden Eagles, who scored twice in their last at-bat to beat Hononegah on Thursday, handed starter Nick Ledinsky a comfortable early lead against Dundee-Crown on Saturday.

Jacobs scored four times in the first inning and added four more in the second, and Ledinsky took it from there with a two-hitter in a 9-0 win over their District 300 rivals for the Class 4A

Huntley Sectional championship.

“We knew they were hot; we came out and jumped on them early,” Jacobs left fielder Connor Conzelman said. “They couldn’t get up from that. The four in the second was even better than the four in the first. If they shut you down, 1-2-3, then they get the momentum going back to them. Coming back with four more pushed them down even farther.”

Jacobs (25-11) is one game away from a trip to the Class 4A state tournament Friday and Saturday at Joliet’s Silver Cross Field. The Eagles face St. Charles East (26-11) at 7 p.m. Monday in

CLASS 2A GIRLS SOCCER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Marengo’s postseason run ends

Prairie Ridge’s Erin Ginsberg (left) and Chatham Glenwood’s Laura Hunt fall while chasing the ball in the second half of the Class 2A girls soccer state championship match Saturday at North Central College in Naperville. Prairie Ridge finished second after losing, 4-1.

ROCHELLE – The Marengo softball team needed one out to reach a supersectional. That out never came.

Sterling rallied from four runs down with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning to knock out the Indians with a 6-5 win Saturday in the championship game of the Class 3A Rochelle Sectional.

Sitting with one base runner and two outs, down 5-1 in the seventh, Sterling’s offense came alive. Sterling (27-3) managed three straight singles, then things got weird.

Sterling senior Stephanie Kester laced a sharp single to center, moving base runner Karlie Mellott from second to third, where she was held up by coach Rick Henderson. Shannon Long, however, rounded second and headed toward third, where Mellott already was waiting.

Marengo center fielder Megan Semro had fielded Kester’s hit and fired it to catcher Taylor Carlson, who then tried to get Long with a throw to second as she scrambled back to the base.

The throw, however, was a bit high and rolled all the way to the outfield fence.

State runner-up’s 3rd loss of year ends 18-match winning streak

By PATRICK MASON

Scoreboard

pmason@shawmedia.com NAPERVILLE – For the first time in nearly two months, the Prairie Ridge girls soccer team couldn’t find a way to win.

The Wolves’ opponent in the Class 2A state final, Chatham Glenwood, lost in last season’s state championship match but wouldn’t be denied again.

The Titans (20-1-1) captured the state title with a 4-1 win over Prairie Ridge. It was the best finish for the Titans in program history after finishing between second and fourth in their five previous state appearances, spanning 12 years.

For the Wolves (19-3-1), it was only their third loss of the season, which ended an impressive 17-match winning streak.

“That definitely made a difference in the game,” Wolves senior goalkeeper Whitney Whitehouse said of the Titans’ state experience. “I knew [Glenwood] was

Glenwood opened the match showcasing its punt-and-run style offense, which can create goals in bunches. Abby Klint-

worth scored in the seventh minute on a throw-in play when the Wolves’ defense couldn’t clear the ball from in front of the net.

Feeding off the one-goal lead, the Titans didn’t let up as Klintworth added a second goal in the 13th minute after receiving a crossing pass in front of the net, and shot it back the way it came, which gave Whitehouse no chance.

NHL referee Stephen Walkom almost – almost – became a de-

cades-long pariah in Chicago by waving off a Blackhawks goal late in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. The Hawks went on to win in overtime, saving Walkom from millions of long-term grudges. Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss:

Musick: I couldn’t help but feel bad for Walkom after he waved off Niklas Hjalmarsson’s goal in Game 7. Whether or not his call was correct, he was trying his best to do his job in a fast-paced, high-pressure situation. Of the four major professional sports, which group of officials or referees has the toughest job?

Styf: I still think the NFL and it gets even more challenging with all of the new rules aimed to protect players. With the NBA, since Tim Donaghy, there is an expectation things are corrupt. Baseball has so many tiny rules, but the game simply moves slower. And with hockey, well, all I can say is that we rarely know someone like Walkom’s name.

Musick: From a rules standpoint, I agree, the NFL is as challenging as it gets. On any given play, an official could call holding at the line of scrimmage or pass interference (offensive or defensive) down the field. If I ever met Ed Hochuli or Mike Carey or any other NFL referee at a bar, I’d want to ask them about the reality of football gambling. Do they know point spreads going into a game? Does any part of them worry about making a call that could sway millions, if not billions, of dollars?

Styf: I can’t imagine they don’t look. If they don’t know, they are purposely not looking. But they have to know it’s there, and it’s a big deal even when a game is out of hand. With baseball, there are moments, like Jim Joyce at first base or a bad strike zone from time to time. But generally, as much as umpires are directly involved in the game, they don’t screw it up.

Musick: Yes. It’s easy to pick on a bad call here and there, but I think baseball gets it right more than any other sport. I never have officiated basketball or football or hockey at any level, but I was a church-league umpire throughout middle school and high school. I was in charge of painting the foul lines before games. I couldn’t even get that right. You should have seen the curves down both lines.

Styf: I used to umpire youth league baseball, even behind the plate. Was awful at it, got yelled at by parents plenty. But the $10 made it all worthwhile. Back to the original point, though, the playoffs are tough and certainly memorable.

But that’s why the best players and (presumably) the best officials are working. The biggest question is whether Walkom was good enough to be there.

Musick: That’s a good question. I wouldn’t know enough to give you an informed opinion on Walkom as opposed to other referees, but I think the fact that the NHL included him in its Round 3 assignments says that he is one of the best. Either that, or he’s making only $10.

Amy LePeilbet looks back fondly on a time when Prairie Ridge’s girls soccer program was just getting started. The Olympic gold medalist was among the biggest cheerleaders of a team that finished as the state runner-up Saturday and was the recipient of good luck Tweets from LePeilbet during the Wolves’ postseason run. LePeilbet now serves as a role model for young girls – a role she still is adjusting to after looking up to players on a 1999 U.S. Wold Cup team that included her heroes.

I was on that team when (Prairie Ridge) soccer started and so it’s extremely exciting for me to see the program over the years improve and making runs at the state tournament and now in the state tournament. It’s unreal. It’s what you want for your school. When you leave an organization, you want it to continue to grow and improve, and so I find [the success] exciting for the program and the team.

It’s wild to think about the fact young girls are looking up to a team that I play on because I always think about the (1999 World Cup team) that I looked up to and I wanted to play like so-and-so.

So it’s actually quite surreal that I’m on that team now and that I’m part of a team that’s looked at that way. I really can’t believe it because I think I’m the person I’ve always been and I’m that kid working hard, trying to get a little bit better every day, playing the game that I love. I never really think of myself as a player that others are looking up to. But now that I’m older and that I’m part of that, it’s exciting for me to be one of those players because I want the women’s game to evolve and grow in this country and I’m excited to be a person that can kind of help that continue.

I don’t know if I ever thought I could be on that (U.S. women’s soccer) team, if I wanted to be on that team or if I truly believed that was possible. I was excited to watch such great players and I wanted to play like them. But I can’t remember a point where I said, ‘I want to be on the national team.’

Over time, I set small goals. When I was younger, I wanted to play college soccer. That was my big dream, and then once I achieved that, I started playing for a junior national team and you say, ‘OK, I did this,’ I saw this path (to the national team) that seemed more and more possible for myself.

My parents have [my gold medal] right now because I’ve been traveling a bit and I didn’t want to just leave it behind somewhere. It’s surreal that I even have one and I forget because I just see myself as the some ol’ person and so I forget, ‘Oh yeah, I have a gold medal.’ But one of the special things about it is when I get to share it with other people because you see the joy and the excitement on their faces and it kind of brings you back to that moment that you’re on the podium and given the gold medal. That same joy – it’s interesting because when you share it with someone else, it brings you back to that moment when you were so excited to have won that. So that’s one of the cool pieces about having it, because when you share it with others and they really share the joy of that moment with you.

8SPORTS SHORTS Jager takes 5th in Prefontaine steeplechase Evan Jager took fifth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Prefontaine Classic Track and Field Meet on Saturday at Hayward Stadium in Eugene, Ore. Jager, a 2007 graduate of Jacobs High School and 2012 U.S. Olympian, finished in 8:08.6 against a field that included the Olympic gold and silver medalists.

Jager’s time was not far off his U.S. record performance from last year in Monaco, where he ran 8:06.01.

The top-three finishers Saturday were Kenyans Conselus Kipruto, Olympic gold medalist Ezekiel Kemboi and Paul Koech.

Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad of France, the Olympic silver medalist, was fourth.

Kipruto won in 8:03.59 despite some controversy at the

finish. He passed Kemboi on the inside of Lane 1, but appeared to elbow him and took a few steps inside the rail before the finish line.

Kemboi wanted a disqualification, but Kipruto was declared the winner.

Jager trains in Portland, Ore. and runs professionally for Nike.

He took up the steeplechase in competition in April 2012 and flourished last summer.

Logano wins Nationwide race at Dover DOVER, Del. – Joey Logano savors the times he led Joe Gibbs Racing into Victory Lane.

Turns out, he enjoys beating JGR so much more.

Logano changed his team and his car, just not the result, and raced to his third straight Dover victory in the Nationwide Series on Saturday.

Unlike the last two, Logano

won for Penske Racing. His previous two Dover victories came under the Gibbs banner.

Blaylock’s condition improves after crash ATLANTA – Former NBA All-Star guard Daron “Mookie” Blaylock was upgraded to serious condition at an Atlanta hospital Saturday, a day after his SUV crashed head-on into a van and killed a woman.

Atlanta Medical Center spokeswoman Nicole Gustin confirmed that the 46-yearold Blaylock’s condition had improved since he was airlifted to the hospital. Police said the former Atlanta Hawks player was initially placed on life support and was in critical condition late Friday even after he was taken off of it.

Pittsburgh came in averaging a league-high 4.27 goals in the playoffs but couldn’t solve Rask. The Penguins hit the post six times and seemed a little bit off after an eight-day break between rounds.

NBA EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS GAME 6: PACERS 91, HEAT 77

Pacers even up series

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana staggered Miami with one more big punch Saturday night.

Now the Pacers have a fighting chance to pull off a stunning playoff upset.

Roy Hibbert did everything but pull out the boxing gloves in Game 6, finishing with 24 points and 11 rebounds, and continually contesting Miami’s shots to help Indiana stave off elimination with an emphatic 91-77 victory over the defending champs.

Paul George scored 28 points, had eight rebounds and five assists, and the Pacers held Miami to 36.1 percent

shooting as they booked a trip back to Miami for Game 7 on Monday night.

“Myself and David (West), we throw ourselves in the fray, in the paint. We like to muck it up,” Hibbert said. “Paul and myself, we wanted to make sure we got this for him as well. We didn’t want this to be our last game.”

It wasn’t.

Instead, after winning their first division crown since 2004, the Pacers are one win away from advancing to the NBA Finals for only the second time in franchise history. They lost to the Lakers 4-2 in 2000. They haven’t played a decisive seventh game in the conference finals since losing to the Bulls in 1998.

And amazingly, they’ve done it this time against the defending champions who many considered virtually invincible after winning 27 straight during the regular season, finishing with a franchise-record 66 wins and having won 23 of their past 24 road games before losing Games 4 and 6 in Indianapolis.

But the Pacers have pushed four-time MVP LeBron James and his high-scoring, high-profile teammates to the brink of elimination by punching back, and Game 6 followed a familiar story line. The Pacers had a 5333 rebounding advantage, outscored Miami 44-22 in the paint and limited Miami’s shooters to 16 of 54, 29.6 percent, from inside the arc.

off a similar layoff but had no such issues. Krejci scored early, and the Bruins handed Pittsburgh its worst loss of the playoffs.

Game 2 is Monday night.

Tomas Vokoun stopped 27 shots but surrendered a soft goal to Krejci, and Pittsburgh’s sizzling power play cooled off. The Penguins came in leading all playoff teams with the man advantage, scoring on 28 percent of their chances, but they went 0 for 4 in the opener.

The lengthy buildup to the matchup of two of hockey’s premier franchises certainly gave both teams fresh legs, and the Penguins came out flying.

Crosby hit the post in the opening minutes, and Pittsburgh put the kind of pressure on Rask that Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said would be necessary if they

wanted to advance.

Rask, playing this deep in the postseason for the first time, proved equal to the challenge. He stuffed Crosby from point-blank range on the power play, then added an acrobatic save on Evgeni Malkin in the final moments of the period when Malkin attempted to bang home a pass off the end boards.

The stop preserved a 1-0 Boston lead after Krejci beat Vokoun 8:23 into the game.

Krejci’s sixth goal of the postseason was also the first sloppy mistake by Vokoun during his excellent playoff run.

The Bruins raced in on a 3-on-2 break, and the NHL’s leading postseason scorer found himself alone 30 feet in front of the net. The shot slid by defenseman Paul Martin and rolled slowly through Vokoun’s legs and into the net.

CLASS 2A GIRLS SOCCER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

FRENCH OPEN

Prairie Ridge did it as a team

Nadal, Djokovic seem to be vulnerable

NAPERVILLE – It’s over.

The Prairie Ridge girls soccer team’s stranglehold on each one of its opponents dating to April 9 ended when the Wolves fell to Chatham Glenwood, 4-1, in Saturday’s IHSA Class 2A state championship match at North Central College.

April was many things. It will be remembered by most for its awful weather, which seemed to never end, and countless canceled or postponed games. But if you think long and hard, you’ll remember it also was the last time the Wolves suffered a loss.

It almost feels like a different season.

Since its loss to Johnsburg, Prairie Ridge rattled off 17 straight wins and played itself into the state championship match. The run included big wins over tough conference opponents, some of which were projected to play deeper into the postseason than the Wolves.

Prairie Ridge proved them wrong, going deeper than any Wolves team had gone before.

The Wolves never seemed out of a match. Down a goal?

Need a clutch goal? No problem.

“The girls never once lowered their heads,” Wolves coach J.C. Brown said. “We never gave up and I’m so proud of them for that.”

They didn’t give up in Saturday’s match even though they found themselves down 3-0 after the first 15 minutes.

They battled and scored a goal in the final minute of the first half from Shannon Patinella, a sophomore reserve.

It was fitting for a team that saw production from each one of its players throughout the season. It never had a star or a go-to player, but that’s what made it tough. Brown said he wouldn’t know how to attack his team because so many players can do so much.

The Wolves had four players score in double digits but not one scored consistently.

They played as a team, giving opponents fits.

First-year coach Brown, a

VIEWS Patrick Mason counselor, knew that to accomplish anything, it was important for his players to want to play for one another.

He knew if he could get his team of 18 girls to play as one, it would be able to go far.

The players have different colored string hanging from their bags, something Brown had the team make for one another. But before they handed their string to a teammate, they had to say something nice about them. It seems simple enough but it had a huge impact.

“They all know it, but to hear someone say it to you is important,” Brown said.

So it was no surprise that during the team photo after the loss to Glenwood, the Wolves gave their version of a string to Amy LePeilbet in the form of a tribute. They held up the former Prairie Ridge soccer player and gold medalist’s jersey during the photo.

LePeilbet had been contacting them throughout the postseason and made sure they believed.

There is a saying that there are only two happy teams in the state at the end of each season: The first- and third-place teams, because each won its last game.

The Wolves players were visibly upset while receiving their second-place medals while standing on the makeshift podium at Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium. But only for a moment, as they realized the trophy case at the school that opened in 1997 had better be prepared to hold three more plaques, a state trophy and many more memories.

“Right now, I’m upset,” senior goalkeeper Whitney Whitehouse said. “But for the seniors, it’s a way for us to mark our name forever at Prairie Ridge.”

Prairie Ridge’s Shannon Patinella scored the only goal for the Wolves in their 4-1 loss to Chatham Glenwood in the Class 2A girls soccer state championship match Saturday at North Central College in Naperville. The loss is only the third for the Wolves (19-3-1) on the season.

Patinella scores her 2nd goal of season • WOLVES Continued from page C1 Even down two goals before the 15-minute mark, the Wolves didn’t let up. Similar to Friday’s semifinal match, the Wolves’ style allowed for room on the corners and the forwards were able to take advantage.

Just minutes after allowing the second goal, Becca Hoklas had enough room in the corner to launch a crossing pass and Erin Ginsberg tried a head ball.

The shot was saved but was rebounded and Kelsey Bear fired an open shot that caromed off

the crossbar.

The miss allowed the Titans to take a goal kick, which started their third scoring play of the half. Maggie Juhlin scored in front of the net with 15:26 to play after two previous shots were blocked by Wolves defenders.

“We knew that going into it,” Brown said of the Titans’ powerful offense. “They’re aggressive and they wanted it more than us. I told the girls it’s won or lost in the first 10 minutes, and I was nervous that if we didn’t control the ball, they would put a couple on us early, and that’s what they did.”

Just as the Wolves were about to enter the half, Erin Ginsberg passed the ball across the net but missed her target and teammate Erica Walsh saved it and passed to a charging Shannon Patinella,

who scored her first goal of the postseason and second of the season with 46.7 remaining in the half.

The goal gave the Wolves momentum. But, playing an aggressive style in the second half, they couldn’t connect on several prime opportunities in front of the net. The Wolves allowed a fourth goal by the Titans with 3:30 remaining to seal the match and a second-place finish in state.

“I think that was the most frustrating part, having it on their end of the field the entire second half and not catching the breaks we needed to and not finishing the ball,” sophomore midfielder Patinella said.

“I’m proud of our team and we never gave up.

Prairie Ridge will host a celebration for the team at 7 p.m.

Monday at the school.

Sectional title the 1st in Jacobs’ history Indians sailed until 7th • EAGLES Continued from page C1 the Rockford Aviators Supersectional at Aviators Stadium.

“The fact we got out to that early lead gave us a chance to take a couple deep breaths and relax a little bit,” Jacobs coach Jamie Murray said. “At no time did we think the game was over.

Those (D-C) guys were swinging it.”

Ledinsky (7-2) was in control the entire way. The senior righthander struck out six, walked two and threw 100 pitches for the first sectional title in school history.

“We’ve both had good runs,” Ledinsky said. “It was a battle of two hot teams at the right time and I’m glad we were able to come out on top.”

D-C starter Vince Damato, who shut out Huntley in last week’s DeKalb Regional championship, retired the first two batters, but hit Joe Rizzuto

with a pitch. Grant Kale singled, Conzelman singled in Rizzuto, Aaron Meciej singled in Kale and Ledinsky hit the first pitch he saw for a two-run double.

“All through the tournament, we’ve been able to get stuff done with two outs,” Ledinsky said. “It’s putting the ball in play, not giving up on the innings, hustling to first base and doing all the little things.”

Greg Sidor, Kale and Conzelman all drove in runs in the second, chasing Damato from the game.

“We did a good job, especially getting to Damato,” Murray said. “We threw a few guys yesterday (in practice) to give them that (left-handed) look.

Guys were prepared and executed the game plan. Early in the count, we wanted to be aggressive.”

Damato threw only 15 pitches in the first inning. Garrett Ryan and Luis Garcia each sin-

gled for D-C’s only hits.

“We got a couple solid hits, but we couldn’t string anything together,” Chargers coach Jon Anderson said. “[Ledinsky] was throwing strikes. He kept his ball down low.”

Jacobs finished in sixth place in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division at 11-8, but is the last Valley team standing.

It has a chance to join CaryGrove (2009) and Huntley (2010) as FVC Valley teams in the final four.

“It feels great,” Conzelman said. “We don’t want to stop now, though. One more game and we’re going to state.”

Jacobs won its first regional title in school history last week and already had the school record for wins.

“They’ve experienced and been through a lot of battles,” Murray said. “Now, it’s the right time and right stage to really perform well. These are great kids to coach; just enjoy the journey.”

• INDIANS Continued from page C1 Mellott and Long scored easily, and Kester ran all the way around from first to score the game-winner.

“Ninety-nine times out of a 100 we’re going to make a throw there,” Marengo coach Dwain Nance said. “But I’m proud of our girls. We battled and played well through six innings.”

Marengo (29-10) had beaten Sterling, 2-1, in a sectional final a year ago.

The Indians, who won a 3A title in 2011 and were second a year ago, seemed poised to continue along the postseason trail. They didn’t commit an error until the final inning, and senior pitcher Bethany Hart was sailing along with a five-hitter heading into the seventh inning.

“You’ve got to give Sterling credit,” Nance said. “They came out in the seventh inning and rattled off a bunch of hits with two outs. Good for them, and I wish them the best of luck.”

Henderson had called his team together before the bottom of the seventh to put some positive thoughts in his players’ heads before they came to the plate.

“I asked, ‘How many times in your career, seniors, have we scored two, three or four runs in an inning?’ ” Henderson said.

“They couldn’t count ‘em – many, many times. Why not today? Why not right now? What a better time to do it than at the end. That’s all we talked about.”

Abby Kissack led the Indians at the plate, going 2 for 4 with a double and two RBIs.

PARIS – For the third time in three matches this year in the French Open, Rafael Nadal hardly looked himself for a set.

Unlike in the first two rounds, Nadal won his opening set Saturday, albeit barely.

The takeaway, even after another victory, was the same: The owner of a record seven titles at Roland Garros is not the dominant force he usually is in the clay-court tournament.

“If I want to have any chance,” Nadal acknowledged after beating 27th-seeded Fabio Fognini of Italy, 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4, “I really need to play better.”

Hours later, the man Nadal beat in last year’s final and could meet in this year’s semifinals, No. 1 Novak Djokovic, seemed vulnerable, too. Walking to his changeover chair at 4-3 in the third set of a 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 win against No. 26 Grigor Dimitrov, Djokovic stretched his right arm – the one he has used to win six Grand Slam titles – several times. He then was treated by a trainer, who applied ointment and gave Djokovic a massage near the shoulder.

Two games later, the match was done, Djokovic was into the fourth round, and he raised that arm in his typical victory celebration.

His mood would shift dramatically soon. When Djokovic left the court and went to the locker room, he was told that his first coach – Jelena Gencic, 76, who began working with little Nole when he was 6 – had died in Belgrade, Serbia, earlier Saturday. Djokovic issued a statement through the tournament saying that he would not be able to attend a post-match news conference.

“His team kept the news secret from him until after the match,” ATP spokesman Nicola Arzani said. “He just broke down. ... He was very, very, very close to her.”

As they approach each other in the draw, Nadal now meets No. 13 Kei Nishikori – the first Japanese man in the fourth round of the French Open in 75 years – while Djokovic faces No. 16 Philipp Kohlschreiber. The other matchups on that half of the bracket after a wild Saturday in Paris: No. 12 Tommy Haas against No. 29 Mikhail Youzhny, and No. 7 Richard Gasquet against No. 9 Stanislas Wawrinka.

Haas let a record 12 match points get away from him in the fourth set, then saved one in the fifth. He eventually pulled out a 7-5, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-7 (10), 10-8 victory over 19th-seeded John Isner, the last American man in the field and the player best known for winning a 70-68 fifth set at Wimbledon three years ago.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Kuchar shines, Woods flounders at Memorial The ASSOCIATED PRESS DUBLIN, Ohio – Matt Kuchar thrived in tough conditions that sent Tiger Woods to the worst nine holes of his PGA Tour career Saturday at the Memorial.

Kuchar survived a nasty combination of swirling wind and fast greens at Muirfield Village for a 2-under-par 70, giving him a two-shot lead over Kevin Chappell and Kyle Stanley going into the final round.

Woods rallied on the front nine to salvage a 79, matching his second-worst score on the PGA Tour. Going for his sixth win at the Memorial and his fourth victory in his past five tournaments, Woods had two double bogeys and a triple bogey on the back nine for a 44, breaking by one shot his high-

est nine-hole total as a pro.

“I think most of us would tend to be surprised any time Tiger shoots a number like that, but a lot more understandable in these conditions,” Kuchar said after hanging on for a 2-under 70 that gave him a two-shot lead.

“If you’re not on good form, these conditions are really going to beat you up.”

Kuchar was at 8-under 208, among 10 players separated by only four shots.

Chappell shot 68, and Stanley had a 73.

Bill Haas, the 36-hole leader, ran off three straight bogeys late in his round for a 76, and he wasn’t all that upset about it. Haas still was only three shots back.

Shoprite LPGA Classic: At Galloway Township, N.J., Shanshan Feng shot a 4-under

67 before the wind picked up and grabbed a three-shot lead after two rounds.

Feng, who last year became the first Chinese player to win an LPGA Tour title and a major event in capturing the LPGA Championship, matched the best score of the day. Using a new set of clubs, she had a 6-under 136 total on the wind-whipped Bay Course at the Stockton Hotel and Golf Club.

First-round co-leader Moriya Jutanugarn of Thailand and Haeji Kang of South Korea shared second at 3 under. Jutanugarn had a 73, and Kang shot 69.

Defending champion and second-ranked Stacy Lewis shot a 9-over 80, matching her worst round since the third round of U.S. Women’s Open last year. She fell from third to

a tie for 50th.

Michelle Wie, looking for her first LPGA win in the United States, had a 73 to dropped to 1 under. She was tied for sixth with Karrie Webb, Hee Young Park and Karine Icher and first-round co-leader Amanda Blumenherst, who finished with a double bogey for a 75 after losing a ball on her last hole.

Principal Charity Classic: At Des Moines, Iowa, Duffy Waldorf shot a 5-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Champions Tour tournament.

Waldorf had an 8-under 136 total. Bart Bryant and Jay Don Blake were tied for second. Bryant had a 64, and Blake shot a 66. Russ Cochran was 6 under after a 67.

The 50-year-old Waldorf is winless in 12 career starts on

the 50-and-over tour after winning four times on the PGA Tour. He took advantage of calm conditions at the Wakonda Club to post a bogey-free round after opening with a 69 for a share of the first-round lead.

Jay Haas, a three-time winner in the event, was 3 under after a 70.

Nordea Masters: At Stockholm, Finland’s Mikko Ilonen shot a 7-under 65 in wet conditions to take a two-stroke lead over Sweden’s Alexander Noren.

Ilonen had an 18-under 198 total at Bro Hof Slott. He shot a 63 on Friday. Noren had a 64.

American Peter Uihlein was 7-under after a 68.

Walks doom Sox in loss to A’s Next for the Sox

By MICHAEL WAGAMAN The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. – After pitching out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning, White Sox reliever Hector Santiago wasn’t too concerned about working out of the stretch when the same situation came up in the 10th.

Just like almost everything on Sox’s road trip, it didn’t pan out.

Santiago walked Oakland’s Josh Reddick on five pitches to force in the winning run and hand the Sox a 4-3 loss Saturday, extending their losing streak to five games.

AP photo “I just threw too many The White Sox’s Alejandro De Aza follows through on a two-run single pitches,” said Santiago, who off the Oakland Athletics’ Sean Doolittle in the seventh inning of the dropped to 1-4. “I went to the Sox’s 4-3 loss in 10 innings Saturday in Oakland, Calif. windup and then I fell behind and went back to the stretch straight games.

“It was similar to what Hector was doing,” Ventura said. “They kind of mirrored each other with their outings.

Before the meltdown in the 10th, the Sox’s pitchers had done a pretty good job of limiting the damage.

The A’s had 16 hits, stranded 18 runners and failed to score after loading the bases with no outs in the ninth before scoring the game-winner off Santiago.

Jed Lowrie matched his career high of four hits for the A’s, who have won seven straight at home and 13 of 15 overall.

Hamlin needs wins to aid Chase push

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press DOVER, Del. — Denny Hamlin has tried to learn to love Dover.

He just can’t. Not yet, at least.

Maybe Hamlin has to learn to win at Dover before he truly can embrace the mile concrete oval.

Hamlin has been tormented for years by the track and voiced his disdain for Dover as finishes in the 30s or worse piled up. Hamlin also knows he can’t focus on the past disappointments. He has to conquer his Dover demons and try to win there if he wants to keep his long shot bid to make Chase alive.

Winning the pole for Sunday’s race was a nice start.

Hamlin, actually, has won the past two poles at Dover and parlayed his top spot into an eighthplace finish in the September race.

The top-10 finish snapped a streak of three straight double-digit finishes at the Monster Mile. Hamlin had a four-race stretch from 2007 through 2009 where he finished no better than 36th.

Those are usually the results for a driver like Casey Mears, not someone like Hamlin, who is always in the thick of the championship hunt.

His average Dover finish of 19.6 is the worst of any track. But two poles and a top 10 could be the start of a new era for Hamlin.

“We possibly could have turned the corner here,” Denny Hamlin Hamlin said. “We’ll actually see the results on Sunday.”

Hamlin needs a big payoff in the form of a checkered flag at the 400-mile race. Hamlin’s four-race absence because of his back injury has him needing wins to make the Chase and race for his first career championship.

Hamlin’s fourth-place finish last week at Charlotte Motor Speedway moved him up three spots to 24th in the standings, 53 points out of 20th position, where he’d need to be to be eligible for one

Hawks quick hits

GAME 1: BLACKHAWKS 2, KINGS 1

WHAT WORKED Puck possession: The Hawks controlled the puck for most of the game as they gained a 17-2 advantage in shots on goal by the end of the first period and a 36-22 advantage by the final horn.

The lopsided shot count prevented the Kings from many quality chances against Corey Crawford.

Ugly goals: Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick stopped the first 25 shots he faced, but the Hawks finally got to him in the second period with a rebound goal from Patrick Sharp and a redirected goal by Marian Hossa. Second efforts will be the formula to beat Quick this series.

Penalty kill: A tripping penalty on Nick Leddy early in the third period provided the Kings with a golden opportunity to even the score at 2-2. But the Hawks’ power play continued its dominance as Michael Frolik cleared one puck and Brent Seabrook cleared another to subdue the Kings.

WHAT DIDN’T WORK

AP photo

Blackhawks center Patrick Sharp celebrates after scoring a goal against the Kings in the second period of Game 1 of the Western Conference finals Saturday at the United Center. The Hawks won, 2-1.

Strategy to beat Quick spelled out CHICAGO – As someone who writes for a living, several words always give me headaches.

The correct spelling of Cincinnati required years to master. Why could it not be named Cat, Ohio?

The extra “r” in occurrence still drives me crazy.

But the trap of all traps for my below-average brain is perserverance. Um, I mean perseverance.

I had to face my fears and mention the p-word Saturday after the Blackhawks’ 2-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings. The come-frombehind victory gave the Hawks a 1-0 series lead in the Western Conference finals with Game 2 slated for Sunday at the United Center.

The Hawks really perser– I mean, perser– I mean, persevered.

Fortunately, Patrick Kane chose an alternate description: The Hawks stuck with it.

“It’s going to be tough scoring in this series,” Kane said. “You’ve

VIEWS Tom Musick got to stick with it and play confident. That could be the most important thing – to play confident when you have the puck.”

The Hawks had the puck in the first minute, the last minute and almost every minute in between.

Yet the Kings had the first goal, and they had the lead at the end of the first intermission.

Never mind that the Hawks had fired 850 percent more shots than the Kings in the first period. Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick had stopped each and every one of the 17 shots he faced from the Hawks, while his counterpart, Corey Crawford, was 1 for 2 on the opposite end of the ice.

A sellout crowd of 21,535 was so

quiet I’m pretty sure I heard a guy order a beer in Section 212. Another guy in Section 326 must have been battling allergies, judging by all of those sneezes. Although it was nice to hear when a few strangers spoke up to say, “Bless you.”

Anyway, you get the idea. The building sounded like a library.

Yet the Hawks were confident they could perser– well, you know.

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville provided his players with simple instructions: Ignore the score.

Keep peppering Quick with pucks.

The first shot probably won’t go in, but the second one might.

“It’s a long hockey game,” Quenneville said. “You keep doing that, eventually things should go your way. Whether you get a lucky break or bounce, sometimes that’s what we’re going to need.”

That goes for the series, not just Game 1.

All told, the Hawks fired 36

shots at Quick – 17 in the first period, 14 in the second and five in the third as the emphasis shifted to playing lockdown defense.

Two out of those 36 shots went in.

Patrick Sharp punched in a rebound at the 12:29 mark of the second period to tie the score, and Marian Hossa deflected a blast by Duncan Keith less than four minutes later to grab the lead.

To ask for a third goal against Quick would have been greedy.

“He makes saves when he sees the puck, when he doesn’t see the puck,” Sharp said. “Anytime you can get those second and third chances, that’s the idea.”

I’ve got to admit, it’s a pretty good idea.

HAWKS NOTES

Bolland shrugs off his big hit on Richards

By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Blackhawks forward Dave Bolland defended his hard and high hit Saturday that left Los Angeles Kings center Mike Richards struggling to return to his skates.

“It’s a quick game,” Bolland said. “It’s a hard-hitting game. It’s just the way it is. It’s the way the game goes. You get hit. It happens.

It’s happened to me.”

Whether the league agrees with Bolland’s no-big-deal perspective remains to be seen.

Less than two minutes remained in the third period when Bolland skated behind the Hawks’ net and leveled his right shoulder into Richards’ head. Richards was slow

to get up, and he hunched in front of the Kings’ bench before leaving the ice.

No penalty was called on the play, but it’s possible that the league could review the hit.

Kings coach Darryl Sutter sidestepped a question about whether he thought the hit was clean.

Dave Bolland “It was behind the net, behind the goalie, guys changing,” Sutter said. “I really couldn’t see it.”

Meanwhile, Bolland shrugged when asked whether he might face consequences from the league.

“I hit him with my back, my shoulder,” Bolland said. “I had

my elbow down. Who knows, right?

“It’s hockey. It’s a game where you hit. There’s contact. I don’t know what else to say.”

Wink, wink: Marian Hossa rarely draws attention to himself, which is what made it so unusual when he winked at TV cameras during the national anthem.

Perhaps the wink brought good luck. Hossa scored the go-ahead goal in the Hawks’ win.

“Lots of my friends back home were watching at the bar,” Hossa said. “I was just giving them some signal. They called me before the game, said they were going to watch.

“Hopefully, they got the signal.”

Worlds collide: The Kings’ team

hotel near O’Hare Airport is filled with more than bearded hockey players this weekend. A Star Trek convention also is taking place in the building.

Kings captain Dustin Brown said both groups had existed peacefully so far.

“I haven’t really been in the lobby all that much,” Brown said. “I heard about it, though. The first day we got here we saw a bunch of … Trekkies, I guess?”

It turns out that the Kings have become familiar with the convention circuit during the postseason.

“Actually, this is pretty tame compared to what we saw in San Jose,” Brown said. “That was Anime [fan convention], so that one was a little more bizarre.”

Early judgment: The Hawks barely had launched their first power play of the series when Andrew Shaw negated the man advantage with a foolish interference penalty in the neutral zone.

Shaw’s penalty led to a lengthy stretch of 4-on-4 action during which neither team scored.

Stick-handling: Crawford typically is pretty sure-handed when he comes out of his net to handle the puck, but that was not the case late in the first period. Crawford committed a turnover behind his net, and a misplay by Dave Bolland moments later led to the Kings’ opening goal.

Sleepy crowd: It’s tough to blame a sellout crowd at the United Center for being quiet after the Kings scored one goal on two shots in the first period. But the Hawks played well all season for home-ice advantage, and it couldn’t have helped to play nearly half of the game in virtual silence.

STARS OF THE GAME Patrick Sharp: Sharp scored his eighth goal of the playoffs and finished with four shots on goal in 17 minutes of ice time.

Jonathan Quick: Quick stopped 34 of 36 shots, including a pair of terrific chances by Hawks forward Patrick Kane in the first and second periods.

Marian Hossa: Hossa notched his sixth goal of the playoffs and added two takeaways to force the Kings to play catch-up late in the game.

TWEET, TWEET If you’re on Twitter, here is a good account to follow during the game. @drosennhl Dan Rosen, a senior writer for NHL.com, has provided extensive coverage of the series.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING “I’ve been through it before this year with this group. There’s times when we’re playing so well that I don’t get that much action. I’ve got to stay ready, though.”

– Corey Crawford on not facing many shots “I know they’re going to be better [Sunday], but if we keep on playing the way we did, it’s going to be hard to beat us.”

– Bryan Bickell on playing back-to-back games “It was a physical game. Both teams were hitting hard and playing well with that mentality.

They’re a big group. I thought we did a good job handling that, and we tried to be physical ourselves.”

It’s time to pay off loan

Huckins

Chamber Foundation awards scholarships

Dear Dave, I’m retired, and I have $400,000 in an IRA that’s earning 10 to 12 percent. The only debt I have is $20,000 on a home equity line of credit, and my home is worth $500,000. Should I pay off the home equity loan using funds from my IRA?

– Janet

Dear Janet, Wow, you have a half-million dollar home on the line for only $20,000? There’s no way I’m going to have a $500,000 asset pledged for that kind of money. No way! If I were in your shoes, I’d pay off the loan today.

You’re obviously a smart lady.

You’ve got an IRA that’s busting it, and this little loan is the only thing standing between you and complete financial freedom. But that loan represents risk you don’t need in your life. I know you probably haven’t been lying awake at night worrying over it, but you’re going to have a wonderfully weird experience when you knock this thing out. A wave of peace is going to wash over you, and you’re going to feel lighter and more liberated than ever before.

Your retirement isn’t at risk, and it won’t cost you much money. Pay it off today, Janet, and discover the true meaning of financial peace!

– Dave

Dear Dave, How do you feel about an exchange-traded fund (ETF) as an investment device?

– Charles

Dear Charles, The main reason to do an ETF is it allows you to trade your stocks or mutual funds easily and often.

I can’t recommend them because I don’t advise buying and selling all the time where your investments are concerned.

In most cases, getting into this kind of thing implies that you’re trying to time the market. It means you’re trying to buy at the low point and ride them up to the high point.

Based on my understanding of the market, I’m a buy-and-hold kind of guy. So, I have no need for ETFs whatsoever.

– Dave

Dear Dave, I have $2,400 in transmission repair work that needs to be made on my old truck, and I don’t have the money to pay for it. I tried to get a loan, but was turned down. I’m single and make $26,000 a year. Do you have any ideas?

– Eric

Dear Eric, As you probably know, I teach people not to borrow money. So, I’m glad you were turned down for the loan. That’s the last thing you need in your life right now, plus the terms of the loan would’ve been a rip-off.

My advice is to sell the truck as-is. You probably could still get between $500 and $1,000 for it. Combine that with as much money as you can save in the meantime. This could put you in a little beater that would last a while, then save up some more and get a nicer beater a few months down the road.

Sell the truck, save money and work your way up through some better vehicles. That’s what I had to do years ago in a very similar situation!

LAKE IN THE HILLS – The Chamber Foundation of Algonquin/Lake in the Hills has awarded $1,500 scholarships to high school seniors Erika Huckins of Lake in the Hills and Margaret Van Der Bosch of Algonquin.

“It was no easy task for the Scholarship Committee to make their selection, as all of the 22 candidates displayed exemplary leadership skills, community involvement and a genuine interest to make a difference in the world,” said committee member Linda Wagner of All State Insurance.

Students were eligible based on Algonquin or Lake in the Hills residency and/or a family member of the Algonquin/ Lake in the Hills chamber.

Evaluation of the students was through a blind process which evaluated their school and civic activities and their commitment to community leadership.

The foundation scholarships are funded primarily through the proceeds from the live auction at the chamber’s annual Awards Dinner. For more information, visit www.

Cary company specializes in seniors on the move

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – Using as many materials from around a house as possible, Paxem employees pack up a person’s belongings into boxes and help make sure a move is organized.

“We pack you up and ship you,” said Paxem owner Jennifer Prell, who started the business in 2003.

Prell, who runs the business out of her house, and her 19 employees cater to anyone who is moving and needs to be organized.

“We adapt to any environment we’re in,” Prell said.

The company performs about 30 to 50 moves a month, which usually spikes in the summer. The company relies on the real estate market – a slow market means fewer people are moving.

Paxem concentrates mainly on seniors who may be moving from their house into an assisted living facility.

Workers will pack up all of the things a senior needs right away, work with movers to bring the belongings to the assisted living facility, unpack and set up the person’s apartment.

As a senior move manager, Prell will even help people who are moving to another state, and connect with another senior move manager to receive the packed up items.

Paxem employees will pack everything, perform inventory and take pictures of the items.

A move for a senior costs about $1,200 to $1,500.

Paxem also helps people downsize, and even works with people who tend to hoard.

Packers will use items in a room to keep items from breaking.

“Moving people is simple,” Prell said. “You have to protect their personal goods.”

“Pillows and blankets are good materials when moving,” Prell added.

When moving seniors into an assisted living facility, Paxem employees will pack the most important things that are necessary for the person to feel at home on the first day.

Those items would include a bed, family photos, a recliner or special chair, and a television, among other things.

People going into an assisted living facility wouldn’t need too many

Also, Prell would recommend that heirlooms be distributed to other family members before a move into an assisted living facility.

For some seniors, packing and moving themselves isn’t an option, as they may use a walker or wheelchair, or have a medical condition.

Prell’s business also helps people who are preparing to put their house on the market, by de-cluttering items and packing up stuff that people would not need from day to day.

“We’re trying to showcase the house, not the stuff in the house,” Prell said.

Many people might be too busy to pack their own house for a move, and packing and moving usually involves “using muscles you don’t normally use,” Prell said.

Prell’s company also works with people who may hoard or collect an excessive amount of items.

CARY – Ned Zerwic and Ya-Ju Wang, physical therapy students from the University of Illinois at Chicago, are performing 12-week internships at Cary Physical Therapy, 2615 Three Oaks Road, Cary.

“Because of our commitment to the profession as well as our community, we will continue to grow and develop our clinical education program for future physical therapists,” said Deb Gulbrandson, owner of Cary Physical Therapy. “Our students rate their experience with us as exceptionally high, providing them with the skills to become the best physical therapists they can be.”

Heide Prell removes a mirror from a wall while packing an apartment.

“They’re usually getting therapy, and coming to terms with things,” Prell said. “We evaluate what’s the most important thing to them.”

Paxem would start with items that don’t matter too much, and “then try to sort things ... so it’s not taking over the house.”

When helping move people to another state, Paxem employees may even travel to the new state, receive and inventory items in the moving truck and make sure there is no damage.

They then set up the entire house, and would do laundry and go to the grocery store to help make sure the entire house is ready, Prell said.

McHENRY – In recognition of Small Business Week, the Illinois Small Business Development Center of McHenry County College will host an open house from 9 a.m. to noon on June 11 at the Shah Center, 4100 W. Shamrock Lane, McHenry.

Business owners are invited to stop by the center and learn about the services that are offered to support their success. Services provided by the ISBSC include free oneon-one counseling, a variety of seminars for small business owners to network and learn about relevant topics, and assistance in obtaining funding.

Getting creative with incentive compensation The importance of attracting and retaining high-performing employees is a not a new concept for businesses. Still, in an ever-increasing mobile world, the ease for an employee to move from one job to the next has made the concept even more vital than it was in the past.

When faced with the familiar dilemma of trying to hold onto top talent, employers typically choose between increased compensation, other financial perks (e.g. a company car, matching health care contributions), and non-financial benefits such as additional autonomy or involvement in interesting projects. While all of these things can increase an employee’s job satisfaction, none foster the same type of loyalty that a well-structured incentive compensation plan can offer.

The idea behind incentive compensation is fairly straightforward.

You are aligning the success of the employee with the success of the business. Theoretically at least, if an employee can see that doing whatever is best for the growth of the business will also benefit the employee individually, that em-

ployee will do more to achieve that desired outcome. The implementation of a plan can be appropriate when initially organizing the entity, particularly as a way to provide someone helping with the start-up through their services, for planning for business succession, or more generally to motivate and retain key employees.

Of course, while the concept may be simple, the implementation of an incentive compensation plan is more complicated. Several different options exist and each carry with it different positives and negatives. As one would expect, there is no perfect solution. While not an exhaustive list, businesses may choose between profit-sharing bonuses based on some combination of the performance of the individual, business unit, or overall company; stock or restricted stock; stock options; phantom stock; and stock appreciation rights.

Annual bonuses paid to employees have the benefit of immediacy.

That is, the connection between the employee’s performance and the benefit derived from that performance is fairly obvious. If the

BUSINESS LAW Ryan Farrell bonuses are paid annually, however, the downside here is that the company has to use cash resources now in order to fulfill that obligation. Depending upon the size of the organization, that might prove difficult. Another downside is that unless the bonus money is separately held and not paid during the year, it does not necessarily motivate the recipient to stay with the company long term. Conversely, if the bonus money is not paid out immediately, but rather is held in a separate account which the employee cannot access unless certain triggers occur, it has the effect of making the employee think twice about leaving for another opportunity when their interest in those separated funds has not yet fully vested.

Stock options more directly tie the employee’s incentives to the overall worth of the company.

Depending on the structure, stock

options can also be advantageous for both employer and employee from a tax perspective. Generally, stock options are an option given to an employee to purchase company stock at a set price. If exercised, the employee would then have a partial ownership interest in the company.

While it doesn’t offer the immediacy of the annual bonus, it allows an employee to participate in the decision making process and view information that an owner would be entitled to, but an employee may not otherwise be able to access.

Often most importantly, upon the sale of the business, the employeeshareholder would participate in and receive the benefit of the proceeds of the sale. Many small businesses, however, do not favor stock options because they are unwilling to cede any control or access of records over to employees.

A creative way for small businesses to achieve the financial alignment that occurs with a stock option, but without the loss of control that makes owners uncomfortable, is to implement phantom stock or stock appreciation rights. These are similar vehicles, where the em-

ployee receives the same or similar rights that a shareholder would, but does not receive the voting rights.

The main differences are that with phantom stock, the owner receives the underlying value of the stock when it vests and receives dividends commensurate with other shareholders. Stock appreciation rights, on the other hand, only provide the owner with the benefit of receiving the difference between what the share is worth at the time of payout over the value of that share at the date of issue.

As businesses, especially small businesses, continue to look for ways to keep their top talent while not hindering the cash need to grow, the use of incentive agreements will remain attractive. There are many factors to consider in terms of upfront capital, tax matters, control, and overall financial ramifications, but to ignore an investment in top employees is likely the costliest option of all.

Opportunities with energy partnerships

By JONATHAN FAHEY AP Energy Writer NEW YORK – Investors searching for income-generating investments are finding opportunities in the oil and gas pipelines that crisscross the country.

Many of the pipelines, holding tanks and other equipment that help get fuel to consumers are owned by firms called Master Limited Partnerships. They typically generate high income and tax benefits for investors because the firms are required by law to “pass through” much of their income and deductions to shareholders. In return, the partnerships pay no corporate tax.

These partnerships are very similar to more popular real estate investment trusts, but they own energy infrastructure instead of real estate. They trade on exchanges like stocks or exchange-traded funds.

Many financial advisers recommend them because of their high payouts to investors and because many let investors benefit from the booming energy industry without having to worry about oil or gas prices fluctuating. Most pipeline owners charge a set price for delivery that doesn’t change with the price of fuel.

“It’s a great way to invest in this massive resource in the U.S. without the commodity risk,” says Ethan Bellamy, an MLP analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co. An index of the 50 most prominent energy MLPs yields 5.7 percent, according to Alerian, a market research and analysis company that focuses on MLPs. The S&P 500 yields 2 percent.

MLPs grow up MLPs can hold wells; small pipelines that gather oil and gas from wells and funnel it to processing plants; big interstate pipelines; refineries and fuel distribution companies. The most popular, and safest, are so-called “mid-stream” MLPs that focus on delivering energy from place to place, according to financial advisers. By avoiding oil and gas drilling and selling refined products, these mid-stream MLPs are more insulated from volatile commodity prices.

Congress established the rules for MLPs in 1986 and 1987. Energy companies were reluctant to establish them until Richard Kinder and William Morgan figured out how to make them more attractive to investors starting in 1997 when they formed Kinder Morgan Partners.

Until Kinder Morgan, MLPs were generally collections of assets that were generating some cash, but were approaching the end of their lives or had no hope for growth.

Kinder Morgan showed that MLPs could also grow.

Kinder realized it would be cheaper to raise money in a partnership structure than through a corporation because partnerships don’t pay taxes at a corporate level and because they pass their profits through to investors.

With that cost advantage, Kinder was able to buy more pipelines, improve old ones, build new ones – and grow distributions to investors.

“Slowly people started to realize that pipelines weren’t boring old assets,” Bellamy says.

Investors may soon also get to choose “green” MLPs. There is a bi-partisan movement in Congress supported by both the renewable industry and the oil and gas industry to allow companies to create renewable energy MLPs that include assets such as solar farms, wind farms and collections of rooftop solar systems.

Are MLPs too hot?

MLPs have gotten very popular in recent years. Interest rates fell to extraordinarily low levels, boosting demand for investments that generate income. And soaring U.S. oil and gas production has filled pipelines and created the need for more of them.

New partnerships have sprung up and energy companies are spinning off parts of their companies into MLPs. The refining company Marathon Petroleum Corp. created an MLP with 1,800 miles of pipeline called MPLX in October. The partnership’s shares have risen 52 percent since then, to $38.63.

Alerian’s index of MLPs has outperformed the S&P 500 index for 12 of the last 13 years.

That strong performance highlights one of the risks of buying MLPs now. Investors are so enthusiastic for them that they have bid prices up relatively high. Financial advisers say it’s a risk, but it’s the same risk facing just about every income-generating investment, including bonds, dividend stocks and REITs. If interest rates rise, investors may start to abandon these investments and prices may fall.

But the growth of the U.S. energy industry and the need to move that energy around gives advisers confidence that these investments can still pay off.

“There’s still a lot of value out there,” says Nathan Kubik, a principal at Carnick & Kubik, a financial advisory firm in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Kubik says investors should pick larger MLPs that cater to a diverse group of oil and gas companies so their payouts are not dependent on the strength of one or two oil and gas drillers. Kubik recommends Kinder Morgan Partners, Williams Partners and ONEOK Partners.

Baird’s Bellamy says Enterprise Products Partners is also a strong, stable MLP.

Seasonal slowdown Six things small businesses should do this summer

By JOSEPH PISANI AP Business Writer NEW YORK – Attention small business owners: It’s time to get ready for the summertime slowdown.

Business slows down a bit in the summer as people head away to take vacations. But that doesn’t mean you should flip the sign on the door to “closed,” pull out the bikinis and swim trunks and head to the beach until Labor Day. True, taking out some time to hang out with friends and family to enjoy the better weather is a great idea (check out suggestion No. 6 below). But, the more relaxed summer months are also a good time for company owners to step back and take steps to improve their businesses.

If you don’t own a seasonal business such as an ice cream or surf shop that gets busier when it heats up, here are six things most small business owners can do this summer to set themselves up for a profitable end to the year.

1. Grow your network. Get out of the office and meet new people. “All my business leads and clients came from networking and word of mouth,” says Jennefer Witter, the CEO and founder of The Boreland Group Inc., a public relations firm that represents small businesses and real estate developers.

Go to a conference or networking event, and don’t be afraid to start conversations. “Turn to the person to your right and say ‘isn’t this a great organization or event,’” says Witter.

Take advantage of people’s lighter summer schedules. Email or call potential clients and see if they are willing to grab a coffee with you. If there’s someone in your industry that you have always wanted to meet, take them out to lunch, they’re more likely to say yes in the summer, says Witter.

If you are chained to your desk, improve your digital networking. Connect with people you want to get in front of on social networking websites such as LinkedIn and Facebook. Just make sure you keep your business accounts separate from personal ones. Witter once landed a new client after a business owner said on Facebook that he was looking for a new public relations company. She messaged him, met him in person, and she was hired.

Your down time can lead to new

Jennefer Witter, CEO and the founder of The Boreland Group Inc., a public relations firm that represents small businesses and those in the real estate industry, poses for a portrait in Washington, D.C. connections, too. You never know who you’ll meet at a barbecue or another summertime get-together. “Never leave home without your card,” Witter says.

2. Refresh your website. First, if you don’t have a website, it’s time to build one. “People will Google you before they call you,” says Melinda Emerson who consults with small businesses on their social media strategies. Websites such as Weebly.com and Yola.com let you create basic websites for free. If you don’t want to be bothered with doing it yourself, hiring a developer to create a simple website shouldn’t cost more than $1,500, says Emerson.

For those who already have a site, make sure it’s simple to navigate. The address and phone number for the business should be easy to locate, says Emerson.

And the website must be readable on mobile devices. “People are traveling, and there will be new people in your town who have never been there before,” says Emerson. “If they can’t find you on a mobile device, you are toast.” Ask your web developer to make it mobile-device ready.

3. Assess your goals. By the summer, you should know if your business is on track to reach its goals for the year. Take out the list of goals and plans you wrote down at the beginning of the year and make sure you are sticking to them, says Brian Moran, founder of Brian Moran & Associates, a consultancy that works with small business owners.

So you don’t think you will meet your goals by the end of the year? Well, set up time to work on them, says Tracy Benson, the CEO and founder of On The Same Page, a company that helps companies with their internal communications. She meets with her company’s leaders through the summer. They discuss what the company needs to do to meet its goals, says Benson.

As part of the process, Benson suggests calling customers and asking for feedback. Depending on what they say, you can adjust how you do business in the future to keep your customers happy and achieve your goals.

4. Get your staff on track. Give your employees a break from daily duties, and train them one on one. Love and Quiches, a dessert and baked goods seller, brings the company’s salespeople, who are scattered around the U.S., to its Freeport, N.Y. headquarters. Vice president Joan Axelrod schedules two days to talk to each of them about how they can reach their goals for the rest of the year — and help correct any mistakes.

“July and August are do or die time,” says Axelrod.

5. Automate your business. Putting aspects of your business on autopilot can save time and money. For example, if your website lets potential customers email you to ask for an estimate, setup your email so that it automatically responds with a list of rates, says Carrie Wilkerson, a business consultant and author.

Chances are the email program you’re already using allows for automation, says Wilkerson. Use the slower summer months to read your email program’s instructions or watch tutorials on YouTube. You can also use the automation function to email coupons or information about sales or new products, says Wilkerson. This will free up a person from having to do it manually.

6. Get away from it all. Getting small business owners to take a break is hard, but getting away will recharge your batteries and help you work better. Go on a trip, have a picnic or just stay home a few days and read a book that has nothing to do with your industry. “Many small business owners are raging workaholics,” says Emerson. “Remind yourself that you’re a person and not just a slave for your business.”

5 Questions You Should Never Ask in a Job Interview Could these words be costing you your dream job? need to do to get a promotion.

By Catherine Conlan, Monster Contributing Writer

2. “What’s the salary for this position?”

Hiring managers and HR pros will often close out a job interview by asking an applicant if he or she has any questions themselves. This is a great opportunity to find out more about the job and the company’s expectations, but you can’t forget that the interviewer hasn’t stopped judging YOU. Here are 5 questions that can make a bad impression on your interviewer, scuttling your chances for getting the job.

1. “When will I be promoted?: This is one of the most common questions that applicants come up with, and it should be avoided, says Rebecca Woods, Vice President of Human Resources at Doherty Employer Services in Minneapolis. “It’s inappropriate because it puts the cart before the horse.” Instead of asking when the promotion will occur, Woods says a better approach is to ask what you would

Asking about salary and benefits in the first interview “always turns me off,” says Norma Beasant, founder of Talento Human Resources Consulting and an HR consultant at the University of Minnesota. “I’m always disappointed when they ask this, especially in the first interview.” Beasant says the first interview is more about selling yourself to the interviewer, and that questions about salary and benefits should really wait until a later interview.

3. “When can I expect a raise?”

Talking about compensation can be difficult, but asking about raises is not the way to go about it, Woods says. So many companies have frozen salaries and raises that it makes more sense to ask about the process to follow or what can be done to work up to higher compensation lev-

4. “What sort of flextime options do you have?”

This kind of question can make it sound like you’re interested in getting out of the office as much as possible. “When I hear this question, I’m wondering, are you interested in the job?”

Beasant says. Many companies have many options for scheduling, but asking about it in the first interview is “not appropriate,” Beasant says.

5. Any question that shows you haven’t been listening.

Woods said she interviewed an applicant for a position that was 60 miles from the person’s home.

Woods told the applicant that the company was flexible about many things, but it did not offer telecommuting. “At the end of the interview, she asked if she would be able to work from home,” Woods says. “Was she

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Although you might select a course that is tough to follow in the months ahead, you’ll know better than most that it is a worthy one. Stick to your guns.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be more selective regarding the people whom you choose to hang out with. Avoid getting involved with someone who is always stirring up trouble and blaming others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Usually, you’re pretty good at picking a worthwhile objective, but today you might stand back and let another do the selecting. You won’t

like what you end up with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Instead of belittling someone who is trying to be productive, speak up and show him or her how to be more effective. Remember, talk is cheap but exemplary action has much to offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Pressure might prove fruitless when trying to get another to repay a debt. However, a softened approach, using compassion, might work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Extra helpings of tact might be required to placate your mate. Your other choice is having a direct

confrontation that will only lead to resentment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You are likely to have a sharp eye for spotting the mistakes of others. Unfortunately, if your comments are critical instead of constructive, they’ll arouse resentment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- To gratify an extravagant whim, you are likely to make an expensive, unwise purchase. Oh, you’ll realize your mistake, but only after you get what you want.

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

take pride in being self-reliant, yet for some reason, you may put yourself in a position where you are overly dependent on others.

Be careful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t make the mistake of trying to even up an old score. You might get a lot of momentary satisfaction, but it’ll expose you to a huge counterattack.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Upon occasion, you can be overly generous to the undeserving while totally ignoring the worthy, and this could be one of those days. Strive to

keep your priorities in perspective.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An objective that you’ve been knocking yourself out to reach is likely to be of little value once it’s attained. Before you expend any additional effort, reassess its true value.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you allow your emotions to override your common sense, you’ll become more confused than you already are. Use your head.

Great books lead to great times Many of the folks I have met while writing this column would say they are still learning, still questioning and still wrestling with life’s great questions.

Boomer Deborah Wright does that for a hobby.

Deb was born into a family who did not avoid big issues; they sought them out. Her father was a pediatrician, and her mother an artist who also spent a great deal of time volunteering for local charities. Her parents were great readers and supporters of humanities. Following her mother’s example, Deb has volunteered for 30 years as a leader of the Crystal Lake Great Books Discussion Group that started in 1983.

Deb went to Roosevelt University in Chicago. She majored in English and taught in the city for a few years. After she married and moved to Crystal Lake, she got a job teaching English at what was then North Junior High and taught from 1974 through 1978 while her husband, Carl, worked at First National Bank and, later, in county government.

Deb took time off to raise her two children, Daniel and Rachel, and then went back to work to teach at North Junior High, where she had the current mayor of Crystal Lake, Aaron Shepley, in her seventh-grade class and, later, his daughter.

Since retiring, both Deb and Carl do a great deal of volunteer work. Instead of becoming bored in retirement, she said, “Oh no, we are very busy.” In addition to leading the Great Books Discussion Group of Crystal Lake, she also volunteers with Friends of Crystal Lake Library. She recently helped with their used book sale, which raised $11,000 for the summer reading program. Her greatest love, however, is still the Great Books Discussion Group.

The Great Books Foundation is a worldwide organization started 66 years ago in Chicago. It is based on the simple premise that by studying great works of literature, philosophy and science and engaging in thoughtful discussions with others, we all will be more enriched.

Robert M. Hutchings wrote: “It is the task of every generation to reassess the tradition in which it lives, to discard what it cannot use, and to bring into

The Great Books Foundation clearly believes a book does not have to be old to be good, nor does an idea have to be new to be valuable. The Crystal Lake group embraces those beliefs by reading and discussing a variety of works.

Recent books on their agenda are “On the Tranquility of the Mind” by Seneca and “The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg”

by Mark Twain. This summer’s book is “Winesburg, Ohio” by Sherwood Anderson.

You might be surprised to know the people who attend the Great Books Discussions come from all walks of life, all shades of convictions, and all educational backgrounds. A curious mind, it seems, is the only requirement for joining. The core group has about 15 members, and new members are always welcome. The group meets from September to May on the third Tuesday of the month at the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce building. There is no fee to join the group, but you must buy the book from The Great Books Foundation. And if you move, you can find other Great Book

groups all over the world.

Deb mentioned there is a great deal of laughter and lots of different views expressed at their meetings. Sometimes they love the book, and sometimes they really don’t like it. One summer the book was “Pride and Prejudice.” The men in the group were skeptical, but after a great discussion on women’s roles in society, manners and humor, the men decided to read Jane Austen on their own. The group tends to stay focused on the book and always raises the question of whether the book being discussed will stand the test of time.

The Crystal Lake Great Book Discussion Group has added a summer session this year. Sherwin Anderson, the author of “Winesburg, Ohio,” is an important American writer who was a realist in showing what small-town America was really like. The discussion will take place July 23 in a member’s home. For information, call Deb Wright at 815-459-8319. New members are welcome.

By STEPHANIE WITT SEDGWICK The Washington Post You’ll regularly find chicken Caesar salads, but that doesn’t mean you’ll find them all done well. Common flaws include too much dressing and clunky pieces of chicken.

Here’s how I have approached the dish: A roasted-garlic marinade flavors chicken cutlets that are then grilled and cut into bite-size pieces.

Chopped garlic and fresh oregano mix with freshly grated ParmigianoReggiano (the good stuff) to make a multidimensional dressing. Diced hard-cooked egg is sprinkled over the salad. And shaved ParmigianoReggiano finishes it with a flourish.

Garlic-Oregano Chicken Caesar Salad 4 servings For the chicken 4 large cloves garlic 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon finely chopped oregano 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 pound thinly sliced chicken breast cutlets For the dressing 2 tablespoons finely chopped oregano 2 tablespoons finely grated ParmigianoReggiano cheese 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon sugar Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons olive oil

Garlic-Oregano Chicken Caesar Salad

For the salad About 12 ounces romaine lettuce, trimmed, cleaned and torn or cut into bite-size pieces 2 hard-cooked eggs, cut into 1/4-inch dice One 2-ounce chunk Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the garlic cloves on a 10or 12-inch square of aluminum foil. Drizzle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil over the cloves.

Form a loose packet around them, folding the foil over to seal the packet. Place the packet in a small baking dish; bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the garlic is soft.

Unwrap and let cool for 10 minutes.

Transfer the cloves to a cutting board; use a large knife to chop/mash them, then transfer to a small bowl. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil, along with the chopped oregano, vinegar, salt and pepper, stirring to combine.

Lay the chicken out on a plate. Brush the oil-garlic mixture over both sides of the cutlets. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.

When ready to cook, preheat the grill, broiler, nonstick grill pan or griddle. Working in batches as needed, cook the cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes, until they are nicely browned on the first side. Turn them over and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the second

side, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned. Transfer to a large plate. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes.

While the chicken rests, make the dressing: Whisk together the oregano, grated cheese, chopped garlic, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper to taste. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed.

For the salad: Divide the lettuce evenly among individual plates, creating an even layer for each portion. Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch pieces and distribute over the lettuce. Sprinkle the diced egg evenly over

4 Build up your

color confidence

By JENNIFER FORKER The Associated Press

Artists and craftspeople know that the colors they choose – and leave out – are critical ingredients in their works’ success, no matter the medium.

Color done well is captivating. Color done badly? It’s just bad. Or drab. Yet a color tweak may be all it takes to turn up a piece’s vibrancy and magic. An eye for color is both intuitive and learned, say the experts.

Kaffe Fassett has spent a lifetime experimenting. The septuagenarian is exuberant with color in his embroidery, knitting and fabric designs.

He’s known for bold florals, fruits and vegetables and geometric shapes – in sweaters, knitted coats and needlepoint.

The author of 15 books goes minimal with vibrant swaths of color – a simplicity that’s a stretch for him.

“I left art school the minute the color wheel came out,” he muses. “I thought that was the work of the devil.”

When Fassett talks about harmony and “bounce,” his language is as energetic as his artwork.

“Pick up one color and stick it next to another and see if you get a bounce from it,” the textile artist said. “Colors can either dampen each other or they can light each other up.

It’s just fantastic to see color that is pulsating. It’s just vibrating with life. Other times, the most wonderful color is dropping dead because it’s in the company of something that’s killing it.”

“I want to make the colors lush,” Fassett continues. “I’m after the glow all the time.”

During the quilting workshops he teaches in the United States and elsewhere, including online, he recommends using myriad shades of the same color to create depth and harmony.

“Whenever possible, you have 10 shades of something rather than just one,” Fassett said.

For example, while knitters are usually told to adhere to a single dye lot when buying multiple yarn skeins for a project, Fassett recommends

IT’S BACK!

The Bordered Diamonds quilt appears in Kaffe Fassett’s book “Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts” (STC Craft/A Melanie Falick Book, 2010). He’s taught workshops on this quilt throughout the world. working with several dye lots.

Also, stick to a color theme but make it “pop” with little surprises of a different color.

That ensures a piece won’t become muddy or drab from a color theme’s overuse. For example, if you’re working in warm tones of red and orange, inject a little cool blue.

Betina Fink, an oil painter for 25 years, teaches art classes – including one about color – at The Drawing Studio in Tucson, Ariz. She recommends studying the same color wheel that Fassett detests and learning about color theory, including how our brains process color.

Her main advice: Don’t use too much color in your artwork.

“It will all start to cancel each other out,” she said.

“There’s more impact in your artwork when you use a limited art palette.”

Finally, avoid using white to lighten and black to darken a color, Fink said; each mutes colors. Instead, lighten and darken color with another that’s near it on the color wheel. For example, lighten orange with yellow. Darken orange with red.

Likewise, get color advice from your surroundings. This same color advice can be used elsewhere in our lives – when planning a garden, decorating a room or dressing for a night out.

Johnsburg native creates trust journals for nonprofits to open dialogue with children

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

W

ith the support of her hometown of Johnsburg, Summer Germann has provided a journal designed to help children and nonprofit groups throughout the area and nationwide.

Germann, a 1995 graduate of Johnsburg High School now living in Los Angeles, created the “Trust Journal” after a conversation with her now-10-year-old daughter, Ocean.

Something was bothering Ocean, but she didn’t want to tell her mother. So her mother suggested she write it down.

She vowed not to respond unless Ocean wanted her to offer advice.

From that encounter came the “Trust Journal for Mothers & Daughters,” followed by similar journals for grandmas and granddaughters, friends and a “Just Between Us” journal for aunts, nieces, sisters, cousins, dads and daughters, mentors and everyone else.

Summer Germann “Whatever happens in that journal stays in that journal,” Germann said.

She also created “The Truth Journal,” an illustrated journal that includes life lessons, funny quotes and personal stories.

“The Trust Journal” comes with a “Certificate of Trust” in which those who use it sign a certificate.

INFORMATION: For information or to buy, donate or sponsor a Trust Journal, created by Johnsburg native Summer Germann, visit www.happyditto.com, call 310-883-4041 or email summer@happyditto.com.

“This journal allows us to have the freedom to completely be ourselves and share whatever we are feeling at the moment,” it states. “We promise not to judge each other’s thoughts, worries or dreams.”

The journal’s pages are split into sections allowing “me,” or the child, and “you,” the parent or trusted adult, to write entries.

Germann, who still has family in the area, was selling the journals through retail means when she heard about several tragedies in her hometown, including a fundraiser for a little girl with leukemia and a suicide.

“I saw a huge need,” she said. “It just clicked. There are all these families that need these journals for different reasons.”

She reached out through social media, asking people to buy the journals so she could donate to various causes or to sponsor or donate the actual journals.

“I’m terrible at sales, but I can ask someone to give,” she said. “I found my niche doing that.”

In a span of about two days, 177 journals were donated from Johnsburg alone. Also with the help of people in California, she since has gotten more than 1,200 journals sponsored.

Through social media, people have shared stories about how the journals have helped them and how they wish they had journals like that when they were younger, Germann said.

“They literally jumped on board,” she said.

“People are coming out of the woodwork.”

The journals have gone to Boys & Girls Clubs, shelters for battered women and children, Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, St. Jude’s, Girl Scouts, juvenile detention centers, John Wayne Cancer Institute for moms with breast cancer and their children, women deployed in the armed services, schools and Keeghan’s Kause, a suicide prevention campaign started by a McHenry County family.

Germann said she’d love to get more donated.

“If anyone knows of a need in that area, I would be so happy to donate some journals back,” she said.

“My goal is to get corporate sponsors to purchase the journals so that I can donate them to nonprofits in need,” she said. “It’s a complete write-off for the business, so it’s such a win-win situation.”

She still uses the journal with her daughter, but said it has opened up communication so her daughter feels more comfortable telling her things.

She said she accomplished what she always vowed to do as a mother and hopes to help others do the same.

“I’ve built a trust with her,” she said.

Neighbors still drop in even after couple move Dear Abby: We moved my elderly parents into an adult assisted-living center last year because they no longer were able to safely care for themselves or their home. They have now decided to put their house up for sale. Our problem is sometimes when we have driven by the house to check that everything’s OK, we have found some of the neighbors enjoying the afternoon sitting on my parents’ front porch.

The house has been shown three times, and one of the times another neighbor was in the backyard sitting on the deck. Another time, a neighbor walked into the house during a private showing. We have been as polite as possible in requesting them to please not do this. We finally told them plainly to stay off the property. But it continues.

We would hate to post “No Trespassing” signs for fear that a prospective buyer may think there are problems

with the neighborhood, and I don’t think a sign would deter these perpetrators. Any ideas on how to get them to stay in their own homes? My sisters and I are starting to think the neighbors don’t want the house to sell so they can enjoy it themselves. – Fed Up In

Tennessee Dear Fed Up: Because of the long relationship your parents may have had with these neighbors, ask them once more, firmly and politely, to stop using the property as an extension of theirs.

If the request is ignored, it will be time to involve your lawyer, who will have to write these nervy people a strong letter on your behalf. Not only is what they are doing illegal, but if an accident should happen while they are on your property, YOUR family would be liable.

Dear Abby: Living in New York City, public transport is the way to travel.

After picking up my 5-year-old from

school, we took the train home as usual. During the ride, my son fell asleep, and his head happened to rest on the arm of another passenger – a middleaged man who was sitting next to us.

As my son’s head rested on the man’s arm, he reacted by pushing my son’s head up violently, waking him from his sleep. Disgusted by the man’s reaction, I lost my cool and yelled at him, almost forgetting my screaming 5-year-old. Other passengers expressed their feelings, too, and the man left the train earlier than he wanted. After my boy calmed down, I had time to reflect and concluded I didn’t handle the situation correctly. The other passengers suggested I hadn’t been assertive enough. What should I have done? –

Commuter Mommy In Brooklyn Dear Commuter Mommy: Your seat partner clearly overreacted to having his space invaded. But by screaming

at him, you escalated the situation.

So your little boy wasn’t caught in the crossfire, it would have been better to have moved your seats. If that wasn’t possible, you should have switched seats with your son so he wouldn’t be near that volatile individual.

Dear Abby: If a doctor is present at a party and another guest takes ill, would it be appropriate to ask the doctor to treat the person? – Curious In Dayton Dear Curious: If the problem is not life-threatening, it would be advisable that the guest contact his or her own doctor, who is already familiar with the person’s medical history. However, in an acute emergency such as a stroke or a heart attack, help should be summoned by calling 911 immediately.

Half measures will have little effect on recovery Maureen was never too sure about certain things. For instance, she would readily admit she “sorta” had a drug problem. She would glance guiltily at you and acknowledge she drank too much and her “partying” had to stop.

She knew hanging around with people who had histories of drug, alcohol and legal problems would result in using drugs.

Yet she persisted.

Maureen’s mom and dad cared greatly for her and her well-being and surmised she

had low self-esteem. Because of this, she associated with “the wrong kind of people,” and it was peer pressure that caused her to continually slip back to her drug and alcohol use. In fact, many parents wouldn’t let their kids hang around with Maureen.

Maureen had been to “a program” for kids who abused drugs several years ago, but she never used the words “addict” or “recovery.” She learned about “her issues” and the physiology of substance abuse, but she

found a way to avoid any direct reference to abstaining.

Maureen slid through treatment with a complex combination of avoidance, compliance and outright lying.

She managed to stay in her fantasy land, keeping everybody else out. She erected a rubber fence around her way of thinking that contracted to absorb new ideas and pressures to recover but snapped immediately back into place as the pressure subsided.

Maureen went to AA and NA meetings diligently – for

a week – and “sorta” worked the steps. She even “sorta” got a sponsor. Maureen’s idea of a sponsor was another girl she met in rehab who was the sister of a person she partied with. Maureen’s “sponsor” had about two weeks of clean time and saw no reason not to drink because her problem was only cocaine. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t have known the first step if she tripped on it.

Maureen never really conceived of herself as a person with a problem but went with

the flow thinking it would all blow over and she could get back to “normal.” The last time I heard from Maureen, she wasn’t living at home anymore and she had “sorta” gotten arrested for selling drugs to an undercover officer.

As the saying goes in the recovering community, “Half measures will get you nothing.”

Rosenberg’s shortbread recipe Linda Rosenberg of McHenry won first place in the Signature Shortbread Contest-Flavored Category at the 2006 Scottish Festival and Highland Games with this recipe.

Pecan Shortbread Recipe Yield: 32 bars For the shortbread layer: 1 stick of butter 1 cup of light brown sugar 2 cups of flour 2 1/2 cups of large pecan halves For the topping: 1 ½ sticks of butter 1/3 cup light brown sugar Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put 1 tablespoon of water in a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan and cover with foil, shiny side up.

Beat the shortbread layer ingredients 1 to 2 minutes on low speed. Press the shortbread mixture into the lined pan. Line up pecans in rows on top of the mixture.

Heat topping in a small saucepan, stirring with a wooden spoon until a rolling foamy boil for 30 seconds. Pour over pecans.

Bake for 22 minutes. Cool in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.

Cover the pan with a cookie sheet and invert. Peel off the foil. Invert again back into the baking pan and slice.

Linda Rosenberg knows what she’s talking about when it comes to shortbread.

The McHenry resident with Sottish origins even has a title to prove it. She’s the Shortbread Contest chairman for the largest Scottish Festival and Highland Games in the Midwest.

What does that mean?

Well, she sees a lot of shortbread and lines up the judges needed to taste all of it.

As basic as shortbread can be, the contest draws the best in the country, including some unique entries.

“One year, we even had Parmesan flavored shortbread,” she said. “It sounds bizarre. I was like ‘What?’

But that’s what the judges picked as their favorite recipe. ... For some reason, it worked.”

Rosenberg and her family have attended the Scottish Festival and Highland Games, which takes place June 14-15 in Itasca, for years, becoming members of the Chicago Scots group that hosts the event.

The 27th annual festival basically brings Scotland to the Midwest with live Celtic music, knobbly knees contests, bagpiping, dance competitions, haggis eating and hurling and the Heavy Athletics U.S. Open Championship.

The championship features traditional Scottish contests, such as the caber toss in which contestants flip a 20-foot, 140-pound tree trunk; the 22-pound hammer throw; the sheaf toss, flipping a bale of hay over a high bar; and the clachneart, throwing a 16-pound river stone.

“It’s very family-friendly, and there are a multitude of things going on at the same time,” Rosenberg said.

“A lot of vendors with Scottish type things that people are interested in, jewelry or kilts or kites and rums, whiskey tasting. You name it, we have large tents with lots of vendors.”

Rosenberg’s family members through the years have danced and played bagpipes at the event.

On a whim in 2006, she decided to take part in the festival’s Shortbread Contest, entering the flavored category. The contest’s other category is traditional.

She based her recipe on one her mother taught her to make, adding a pecan praline flavoring to the top.

She’d only made it a couple of times at home before she entered.

“I really like simple recipes, and this was a really simple recipe of making the shortbread, lining up pecans and pouring brown sugar and butter on top and baking it for 20 minutes,” she said. “It can’t get much easier than that.”

To her surprise, she won. And even more surprising was the invitation that followed for her to chair the contest.

With her grandfather born in Glasgow, Scotland, and Scottish roots on her father’s side as well, Rosenberg grew up immersed in Scottish culture and cuisine.

Her shortbread – or at least the recipe that won – is “something you only eat maybe twice a year,” she said. “It’s so rich.”

She’s also a fan of scones because she enjoys adding

But it’s the shortbread that’s still in demand.

“Whenever we have a family occasion, my family always says, ‘And you’re going to bring the pecan shortbread, aren’t you?’ That’s something I usually make for family get-togethers,” Rosenberg said.

Traditionally, shortbread was flour, butter and powdered sugar when it had its origins in Scotland, she said.

“So a very simple thing to make, but very good,” she said. “It’s one of those things that’s not highly sweet; it’s a mild sweetness.”

Along with the baking contests, the festival fea-

tures children’s activities, such as mini golf, crafts and a carnival. Other events include the Kilted Mile Fun Run/Walk and the British Car Show.

The festival closes every year with the Closing Ceremonies and Massed Bands Show, a spectacle of 1,000 bagpipers and drummers, all joined in performing several traditional musical selections, including “Amazing Grace.”

“We pride ourselves on making families feel like they’ve been transported to Scotland for a weekend of fun while enjoying a unique opportunity to learn more about Scottish culture,” said Gus Noble, president of the Chicago Scots.

Before becoming the chair, Rosenberg won the contest with a shortbread flavored with pecans. She is seen here posing for a portrait in her kitchen.

By Suzanne Cannon

I inherited my grandmother’s diamond and was told that there are chips along the edge of the stone. I thought that you couldn’t chip a diamond. I want to give this to my daughter for her college graduation.

Is it safe for her to wear?

It is a common misperception that diamonds do not chip, when in fact it happens quite often. There are several reasons why one diamond is more susceptible to chipping verses another. Simply put, it is how well it was cut in the first place.

There is scientific math that is used to create a “strong” diamond that is resilient to chipping. When this math is followed, you also end up with a much more brilliant stone. One of the most common reasons the edge of the diamond will chip is that the girdle (edge) of the diamond is cut too thin. The girdle should be medium in thickness in order to withstand daily wear and also add to it’s overall beauty.

I would recommend having your heirloom re-cut to improve it’s proportions and to prevent any further chipping. If you do not do anything, the chips can continue to get larger until the stone is no longer a candidate for recutting.

Costs vary on this type of service, so I can help you evaluate the investment of the re-cutting verses the value of the diamond and any potential weight loss.

The diamond cutter that I use is a 5th generation cutter who is one of the original cutters skilled enough to cut the famous “Hearts On Fire” diamonds. He has also re-cut many diamonds for me personally and I trust his integrity, skill and expertise.

“After Earth” HH½ STARRING: Jaden Smith, Will Smith, Sophie Okonedo PLOT: A father and son (real-life father and son Will and Jaden Smith) are the only survivors when a spaceship crash lands on Earth 1,000 years after humanity has abandoned the planet. With the father critically wounded, the son must make a perilous journey into an unfamiliar wilderness to save them.

RATING: PG-13 for science-iction action violence and some disturbing images TIME: 1 hour, 40 minutes VERDICT: Will Smith hand-picked the disgraced M. Night Shyamalan to direct this science-iction adventure, and Shyamalan delivers his best ilm since “The Village.” Granted, that’s awfully faint praise, but at least Shyamalan has turned things around.

Despite the futuristic trappings, this is an old-fashioned wilderness survival story that carries the usual symbolism of a young protagonist’s symbolic journey into manhood. The story works well despite inconsistencies in logic, but Shyamalan can’t maintain tension. – Jeffrey Westhoff,

Northwest Herald

“Now You See me” HH STARRING: Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher PLOT: An FBI agent and an Interpol detective track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the money.

RATING: PG-13 for language, some action and sexual content TIME: 1 hour, 56 minutes VERDICT: At the start of “Now You See Me,” a magic-themed heist movie with a high-powered cast including Morgan Freeman,

RATINGS HHHH - Excellent HHH - Recommended HH - Not recommended H - Awful Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson, you really want to believe. The idea is fresh, the introductory scenes enticing. Plus, the actual magic performances that anchor the ilm, directed by Louis Leterrier, are fun – and for a while you almost forget that you’re merely watching other people watch a magic show. But then the dialogue turns formulaic, the plot gets increasingly hard to follow – even a ilm about magic needs an underlying logic – and character development seems to come to an utter halt, with interesting possibilities left unexplored. It all builds up to a dramatic reveal at the end, one that, like the traditional rabbit in the hat, you weren’t expecting. But by then, it’s a bit too late. You’ve already disengaged. –

Jocelyn Noveck

Is that tough since you’re pretty much a workaholic?

So why didn’t you go down that road?

Yes, I’m a guy who should not have a lot of free time.

But when it comes to vacation, I like to pull the plug completely. It’s all about my daughter – I’m no longer the star of my own movie.

Vanity. I just don’t want to be that guy.

There could have been a Bar Bourdain, a Café Tony perhaps.

Yes, the product line, the pots and pans, the kitchen clogs, the knives – there could have been all those things.

Why not? Mario Batali seems to be having fun.

Mario’s maybe the one guy – they’re all good products and his restaurants are great – but I’m not Mario.

A lot of chefs are philanthropic around food, so how did you come to choose a school dedicated to reading

and writing?

I was introduced to the Bronx Academy by my long-time agent and close friend. It took no convincing – a brief summary of what the organization does and where their focus is was enough to get me to one of these.

And once I met the students and learned more about what they’re doing and how successful they’ve been at it, it quickly became my passion.

Beyond thePLATE When not crossing borders to sample local cuisine in ‘Parts Unknown,’ Anthony Bourdain puts passion into philanthropy

By ZINTA LUNDBORG • Bloomberg News

A

nthony Bourdain gets to travel around the world having adventures and eating great food – his new network, CNN, has already ordered another season of “Parts Unknown.”

Back in New York, Bourdain is a fan of the Bronx Academy of Letters, which helps students develop strong writing skills.

We spoke at the school’s 10th anniversary celebration just before he stepped up to host the event.

You’ve always picked where you want to go?

That’s the only way it happens. They’re historical obsessions, places that I’ve seen as a location in a film or read about that always seemed intriguing.

Or there’s sheer self-indulgent, 100 percent food porn. Any of those would be reason enough.

The new show seems more CNN than Food Network – is that your preference?

I’m free to be food-oriented or not, depending on where the journey takes me. Most importantly, they have the boots on the ground, the experience and the infrastructure to allow me to go to places like the Congo and Libya and other potential conflict zones.

Do you have bodyguards?

We do not travel with armed bodyguards. But we do have people with a lot of experience in those places who are very good at assessing an ever-changing situation and saying, “Now’s the time to get back in the van,” “Now’s the time to leave the country” and “Here, let me set that leg for you.”

If we suddenly find ourselves in a situation like in Libya, where we do need armed bodyguards, we’re hiring local guys.

Aside from when you taste eyeballs or fresh hot monkey brains, what you enjoy eating in most cultures seems to be street food: veggies in broth with some meat and spices.

I think that’s real cooking.

What changes when you go up the economic ladder?

I’m excited by any food that’s prepared by someone who’s proud of what they’re doing, who puts a personal imprint on food.

There always is a story, be it a street stall or a 3-star Michelin, and if it’s interesting, I’m going to enjoy it.

What’s the most creative part of cooking?

The roots of creativity are hungry people trying to figure out how to take something that’s not particularly fresh or tender and transform it into something delicious that everyone will love.
