Prism surveillance program one of many The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – In the months and early years after 9/11, FBI agents began showing up at Microsoft Corp. more frequently than before, armed with court orders demanding information on customers.

Around the world, government spies and eavesdroppers were tracking the email and Internet addresses used by suspected terrorists. Often, those trails led to the world’s largest software company and, at the time, largest email provider.

The agents wanted email archives, account information,

vacuum cleaner, but after J. Edgar Hoover, the first FBI director, who gathered dirt on countless Americans.

This frenetic, manual process was the forerunner to Prism, the recently revealed highly classified National Security Barack Agency program Obama that seizes records from Internet companies.

As laws changed and technology improved, the government and industry moved toward a streamlined, electronic process, which required less time from

practically everything, and quickly. Engineers compiled the data, sometimes by hand, and delivered it to the government.

Often there was no easy way to tell if the information belonged to foreigners or A m e r i c a n s . S o George much data was W. Bush changing hands that one former Microsoft employee recalls that the engineers were anxious about whether the company should cooperate.

The revelation of Prism this month by the Washington Post and Guardian newspapers has touched off the latest round in a decade-long debate over what limits to impose on government eavesdropping, which the Obama administration says is essential to keep the nation safe.

But interviews with more than a dozen current and former government and technology officials and outside experts show that, while Prism has attracted

As the concealed-carry bill sits on the governor’s desk awaiting his signature, local communities are preparing for the implications the legislation might have.

The state Legislature signed off on concealed-carry legislation during its recent session under order of a federal appeals court. The bill is now before Gov. Pat Quinn, who hasn’t indicated whether he’ll sign it ahead of a newly extended July 9 cutoff.

But municipalities will barely have time to wait for the governor’s ink to dry before being faced with some decisions. Local leaders will have 10 days from the time the governor signs the bill to decide whether to establish a ban on assault weapons. Not doing so would mean they forfeit the opportunity to enact one later.

“If you do not have an assault weapon ordinance in place within 10 days of Gov. Quinn signing the bill, you would not have the ability to have an assault weapon ordinance in the future,” said Brad Stewart, an attorney with Zukowski, Rogers, Flood and McArdle, which represents a number of local municipalities. “This has implications not just today, but five years from today when [municipalities] may wish they had a ban in place.”

Stewart specializes in municipal law and has been studying the concealed-carry legislation in preparation for its potential enactment.

“I think every municipality – if they haven’t already – is going to question what they can and should do to be prepared for the changes that are going to come with this

“We’re not in a waitand-see position, we’re in a gather information and then let’s see what happens. …

Whatever we do, we’ll do it armed with the facts.”

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

‘Nothing’ is the word of the week in Springfield SPRINGFIELD – Turns out, no one in the state’s capital thinks pension reform will get passed during Gov. Pat Quinn’s one-day special session either.

I spent the better part of Thursday and Friday in Springfield attending the Illinois Press Association’s annual convention. Dozens of newspaper editors from across the state were in attendance, as were some policy wonks eager to bend our ears.

Every single person I talked to about it was skeptical that anything meaningful would get done Wednesday when the General Assembly reconvenes for its one-issue-only session.

That’s not a surprise, though it is telling about the lack of faith everyone has in our elected state officials.

Speaker of the House Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton have done nothing to spur optimism.

The two are heading into the week in opposite corners, with no sign that either is willing to compromise.

Madigan plans to remove Cullerton’s alternate reform package from a bill pending before the House and replace it with his own during a hearing he scheduled for Tuesday.

While not perfect, Madigan’s reform bill is much better than Cullerton’s.

It would require state employees to contribute more toward their pensions, reduce cost-of-living increases and raise the retirement age.

Cullerton says Madigan’s proposal is unconstitutional. He proposes giving state retirees a choice between cost-ofliving increases and health insurance.

The problem with Cullerton’s plan is that it does little to address the state’s $98 billion pension liability, which grows by about $17 million each day that reform doesn’t happen.

With the pension crisis eating away

at the state budget, funneling more and more taxpayer money away from much-needed services, you’d think everyone in the Capitol would be working nonstop until a solution is agreed upon.

Sadly, that’s not the case.

And with so much distance between Madigan and Cullerton on the issue and the two refusing to sit down and discuss a compromise, there’s as much chance of a resolution this week as there is of the Cubs reaching the World Series.

“So what do you think the General Assembly is going to accomplish on Wednesday?” I asked anyone who would engage me on the topic.

“Nothing,” said Diana Rickert, former Northwest Herald reporter who now is director of media relations for the Illinois Policy Institute, a Chicago-based conservative think tank.

“Nothing,” said Eric Olson, former Northwest Herald sports/community/ business editor who now is the top editor at the Daily Chronicle in DeKalb.

“Nothing,” said every single person I asked.

So why even bother with the special session?

Politics, of course. Madigan, Cullerton, Quinn and the rest of the bunch have to make it look like they’re trying, even though they’re not. And if they can score some political points at the expense of their rivals, so much the better.

There’s a gubernatorial election next year, and the stakes are high. Not only is Quinn’s future in doubt, Madigan’s daughter, Attorney General Lisa Madigan, is considering a run at the state’s

top seat.

Where does all of this leave taxpayers?

Where else? Working harder so they can continue to contribute more to the black hole that is Springfield.

••• Home again: Congratulations to the staff of the Northwest Herald, which cleaned up in statewide journalism contests yet again.

For the fourth year in a row and the eighth time in the past 10 years, the Northwest Herald was named by the Illinois Press Association the top midsized daily newspaper in the state.

It’s a point of pride for our staff to win IPA’s sweepstakes, because its trophy is named after Mabel Shaw, one of the founders of Shaw Media, our parent company.

It’s a sad day when we return to McHenry County from the annual IPA convention without Aunt Mabel, which we fondly call the trophy, in tow. We’ve been fortunate to not have to experience that very often in the past decade.

And that’s a testament to the outstanding journalists we have on staff at the Northwest Herald. Congratulations to them.

It’s your day today. Thanks for all that you do.

The Associated Press Focus on the details, and the cases seem very different. One was killed by virulent white racists, the other by a part-Hispanic neighborhood watchman who insists he faced a vicious attack.

One was weighted down and dumped in a river; in the other case, police were called by the shooter himself.

Six decades and myriad details separate the deaths of Emmett Till and Trayvon Martin, two black teenagers felled by violence. Yet in the way America reacted to Martin’s death – and the issues that echoed afterward – his case has created a national racial conversation in the much same manner as the saga of Till, infamously murdered in 1955 for flirting with a white woman.

Plenty of people do not see the Martin case as about race at all. But for others who study America’s racial past and present, each killing is a defining moment for its era – a fraught microcosm of what we are, and what we are trying to become.

“Trayvon Martin is today’s race case,” says Chris-

George Zimmerman arrives at Seminole circuit court in Sanford, Fla., for a pre-trial hearing Friday. He is charged with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012. topher Darden, a prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson murder trial, another defining American moment. “I don’t know that anybody can really sit there and objectively look at the evidence. It arrives with so many different kinds of emotions.”

Just as the Till saga remains a searing archetype of the brutal segregation that gave rise to the civil rights movement, the Martin case captures the ambiguous meanings of race in America at a time when both the president and the lowest segments of society are black.

Emmett Till showed what needed to be done in 1955.

Now, Trayvon Martin reveals to us the racial landscape of 2013.

“This case represents so much for our country,” Skolnik says. “It represents issues of race, issues of police priorities for different communities. It represents the status of young black men in America.”

On a February night in 2012, Martin was returning to his father’s house from the store, unarmed, his hoodie up in a light rain.

George Zimmerman, a vol-

unteer neighborhood watchman, saw the 17-year-old and called police to report a “suspicious” person “up to no good.” Minutes later, a bullet from Zimmerman’s gun was in Martin’s chest.

Did Zimmerman think Martin was suspicious because he was black, or was he justly guarding his neighborhood? Did Martin attack Zimmerman? If Zimmerman acted based on race, is that manifestly unjust or just common sense?

Such questions, and the lineage of American historical events behind them, have turned Martin’s story into one that far transcends the facts of the case.

“I’ve been doing work around police brutality and racial hate crimes for over 20 years, but I’ve never seen one resonate with so many people like the Trayvon Martin situation,” says Kevin Powell, president of the advocacy group BK Nation and editor of “The Black Male Handbook: A Blueprint for Life.”

“He became this symbolic figure for how much has not changed in America in spite of a black man being in the White House,” Powell says.

Chicago to join growing Chicago hiring 600 to staff list of bike-sharing cities safe routes between schools Jadine Chou, Chicago Public Schools officer of safety and security, said parents at more than 40 schools receiving students from closed schools have had a chance to see the proposed safe routes and have given their input.

“No one knows these areas better than parents,” Chou said.

District officials have pledged to spend millions of dollars to enhance the existing Safe Passage program, which stations adults to stand watch along key routes and alert police of any problems. The program is

The ASSOCIATED PRESS The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The newest piece of Chicago’s vast transit puzzle will not rumble between skyscrapers on its 100-year-old elevated rail lines or utilize its fleet of hybrid buses. The city is turning to thousands of shared bicycles to send commuters and visitors zipping on their way.

Chicago joins New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco this year in catapulting what was once just an eco-friendly option for smaller cities into the transportation mainstream of the largest urban expanses. Years behind Europe and China – which has by far the world’s largest bike-sharing system – the United States now has more than two-dozen programs in cities ranging from Tulsa, Okla., to Boston and Washington, D.C., with dozens more in the works.

Cyclists are no longer an afterthought for city planners who say bike lanes are a useful tool to transform urban

CHICAGO – The city of Chicago, which plans to close dozens of schools this summer to save money, has received 11,000 requests for help getting children to their new schools along safe-passage routes.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Saturday that 600 adults will be hired next month to work along the routes, which are being established to make sure students from closed schools can get to their new schools safely.

Fully assembled and ready to use bikes sit Tuesday at the Divvy rollout facility in Chicago. The program launches June 28. stretches into more livable, safer and functional spaces. Transportation officials are also racing to stay a step ahead of urban populations swelling with young people who reject the car-centric lifestyles of older generations.

The concept is hassle free: grab a bike from a curbside station, ride for up to 30 minutes, then lock the bike at any

docking point. Those signing up early say they’re hopeful it will fill gaps in the transit network, offer an alternative to expensive – and sometimes nerve-jangling – cab rides and allow for easier quick commutes. It also provides access to a bike without the hassle of having to make repairs or worry about keeping thieves at bay.

Divers begin search for shipwreck The ASSOCIATED PRESS ON LAKE MICHIGAN NEAR POVERTY ISLAND, Mich. – Divers began opening an underwater pit Saturday at a remote site in northern Lake Michigan that they say could be the resting place of the Griffin, a ship commanded by the 17th century French explorer La Salle.

U.S. and French archaeologists examined sediment removed from a hole dug near a timber slab that expedition leader Steve Libert discovered wedged in the lakebed in 2001. Project manager Ken

similar to initiatives in New York and Los Angeles.

In May, the Chicago Board of Education voted to close 50 schools and programs, the largest number of closings at any one time by any school district in recent memory, according to many experts.

The plan sparked protests and lawsuits from opponents who say the school closures disproportionately affect minority neighborhoods and will endanger children who may have to cross gang boundaries to get to a new school.

Vrana said afterward the team found a man-made “cultural artifact” in the opening, but he declined to describe it until technicians could analyze it.

Libert, who has spent about three decades searching for the Griffin (also known by its French equivalent Le Griffon), said he hoped that by Sunday, the excavation would reach what sonar readings indicate is a distinct shape beneath several feet of sediment. The object is over 40 feet long and about 18 feet wide — dimensions similar to those the Griffin is believed to

have had, Vrana said.

But he said it was too early to declare the site a shipwreck, let alone the object of their quest.

“Soon we will find out whether our assumption is correct or not,” Vrana said aboard the Proud Maid, a 45foot commercial fishing boat that ferried journalists and crew members to the search area near Poverty Island in Michigan waters north of the entrance to Green Bay. “We’ve got to get those test pits dug and hit [the] structure, because anything else is pure speculation.”

Obama bolder Firefighters make progress in Colo. on Syria ahead Containment at 55 percent of G-8 summit

By P. SOLOMON BANDA The Associated Press

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – After months of caution, President Barack Obama suddenly is positioned more aggressively on Syria than the global leaders he’s joining at a summit Monday, now that he has authorized weapons and ammunition shipments to struggling rebels.

Obama is expected to push Britain and France to take similar action when talks open in Northern Ireland among the Group of Eight leading industrial powers.

The U.S., Britain and France also will urge Russian President Vladimir Putin to drop his political and military support for Syrian President Bashar Assad, still in power after more than two years of fighting.

“It’s in Russia’s interest to join us in applying pressure on Bashar Assad to come to the table in a way that relinquishes his power and his standing in Syria,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser. “We don’t see any scenario where he restores his legitimacy to

lead the country.”

Obama and Putin plan separate talks on the sidelines of the summit, in what would be their first in-person meeting since Obama’s re-election last November.

Russia analyst and Georgetown University professor Angela Stent said Putin probably will try to draw a distinction with Obama on Syria by portraying himself as a “guarantor of the absolute sovereignty of states.”

“That may go down less well with the G-8 but has a broader appeal in the rest of the world,” Stent said.

Also on the agenda for the two-day summit at a golf resort in Lough Erne are the global economy, a proposed U.S.-European Union trade agreement, and counterterrorism.

Obama will stop first in Belfast, where he will speak to young people about maintaining Northern Ireland’s peace with its Irish neighbors. The president will cap his European trip with a visit to Germany for meetings with Chancellor Angela Merkel and a speech at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Crews gained the upper hand on the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history Saturday and had more than half the blaze contained as officials prepared to lift mandatory evacuation orders for hundreds of residents.

Incident commander Rich Harvey said at an evening news conference that containment of the Black Forest Fire was at 55 percent, up from 45 percent earlier Saturday.

El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa said some residents along the north and west fronts of the initial evacuation zone were being allowed to return to their neighborhoods at 8 p.m. after authorities downgraded evacuation orders from mandatory to pre-evacuation status in specific areas.

While most mandatory evacuation orders had been lifted, as the fire zone remained at about 25 square miles, hundreds remained displaced after the fire destroyed nearly 500 homes and killed two people. The victims’ bodies were found inside their garage Thurs-

The announcement that crews had made significant advances on the blaze and taken control of it came the same day authorities were able to gain a clearer picture of the grim landscape it left behind after exploding Tuesday outside Colorado Springs.

It’s unclear what caused the fire, which sparked amid record-high temperatures and

tinder-dry conditions, but officials believed it was human-caused.

No additional homes were destroyed as fire crews expanded containment lines, Sheriff Maketa said. Also, there were no new reports of injury or death, he said.

Earlier Saturday, worried residents waited for permission to return to their neighborhoods to see whether their homes were still standing.

Senate Dems firm up health care support

By BILL BARROW The Associated Press ATLANTA – Far from reversing course, Senate Democrats who backed President Barack Obama’s health care law and now face re-election in GOP-leaning states are firming up their support for the overhaul even as Republican criticism intensifies.

Mark Begich of Alaska, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Kay Hagan of North Carolina will face voters in 2014 for the first time since voting for the Affordable Care Act – also known as “Obamacare” – three years ago. They aren’t apologizing for their vote, and several are pursuing an ag- Sen. Mark gressive strate- Begich gy: Embrace the law, help voters use it and fix what doesn’t work.

“I don’t run from my votes,” Begich told The Associated Press. “Politicians who sit around and say, ‘That’s controversial so I better run from it,’ just ask for trouble. Voters may not always agree with you, but they respect people who think about these issues and talk about them.”

That means, Begich said, reminding voters that as a candidate in 2008 he called for prohibiting insurers from denying coverage based on existing health problems, ending lifetime coverage limits and making it easier for workers to leave a job and still have in-

surance, an option they’ll have under new exchanges that consumers can begin using to buy individual policies this fall.

Republicans argue just the opposite – that there’s a lot of bad in the sweeping law. More than a year before the elections, they use the law to pummel the four Democrats, three of them from the conservative South and all from states that Republican Mitt Romney carried last fall.

Begich highlighted that Senate Democrats have voted to repeal parts of the law: paperwork for businesses and a tax on medical equipment.

And he promised aggressive outreach to help constituents use the exchanges and other consumer benefits.

Landrieu Sen. Mary has gone on Landrieu the offensive, too, criticizing Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and her state’s Legislature for refusing federal money to broaden Medicaid insurance for more low-income Americans. Along with the exchanges, the optional Medicaid expansion anchors the law’s insurance coverage extension.

With those contentious parts slated to begin next year, Obama’s signature legislative achievement is all but certain to be central in the 2014 midterm campaign as Republicans look to hang onto power in the House and gain the six seats they need to win control of the Senate for the final two years of the Democratic president’s second term.

8NATION BRIEF Father’s Day poll: Most men aspire to be dads A recent Associated PressWE TV poll found more than 8 in 10 men said they have always wanted to be fathers or think they’d like to be one someday.

About 8 in 10 fathers sur-

veyed said they always knew they wanted to have children, compared with about 7 in 10 mothers, and 69 percent of dads called that long-standing desire to have children an important factor in their decision to have kids.

GOP officials to evangelical activists: Back party plans The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Facing lingering tensions in his party, the chairman of the Republican National Committee urged religious conservatives Saturday to support the GOP’s plans to expand.

“I would just ask you that we come together and that we pray for the future of this country,” Reince Priebus said on the final day of the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference that brought several Republicans leaders together with evangelical activists.

Religious conservatives have been skeptical of establishment Republicans in Washington and the RNC’s plan for growth, which calls for more tolerant attitudes on immigration and social issues such as abortion and gay marriage. The party is working to

rebuild after a painful election season in which Republicans lost the presidential race and a handful of Senate contests.

“When it comes to social issues, the party must in fact and deed be inclusive and welcoming,” according to an RNC report commissioned

by Priebus after that election and released in March. “If we are not, we will limit our ability Sarah Palin to attract young people and others ...”

Priebus did not mention those recommendations in his remarks, but he did repeat calls for significant changes to the Republican presidential nominating process – particularly, fewer debates and a shorter primary season.

warnings to vacate the area.

ISTANBUL – Turkish riot police firing tear gas and water cannons took less than half an hour on Saturday to bring to an end an 18-day occupation of an Istanbul park at the center of the strongest challenge to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s 10year rule.

The sweep Recep Tayyip by white-helErdogan meted riot police emptied the Gezi park of protesters, leaving a series of colorful, abandoned tents behind. Bulldozers moved in afterward, scooping up debris as crews of workmen in hard hats and fluorescent yellow vests tore down the tents. Protesters put up little physical resistance, even as plain-clothes police shoved many of them to drive them from the park.

For over two weeks, protesters had defied Erdogan’s

U.S.-bound Egypt plane diverted after threat LONDON – A plane from Cairo bound for New York was diverted by fighter jets to an emergency landing in the U.K. after a passenger discovered a letter threatening the aircraft, officials said Saturday.

Police said late Saturday there had been no arrests, and that authorities are working to ascertain who wrote the note in a lavatory which forced Flight 985 – carrying around 300 passengers en route to John F. Kennedy Airport – to make an emergency landing at Glasgow’s Prestwick Airport.

British Typoon fighter jets escorted the plane to Glasgow’s Prestwick Airport, where the flight was met by a heavy police presence. It stayed there for several hours before passengers were able to disembark, at which point officers searched the plane.

was unpopular during the meeting of social conservative leaders, which attracted several politicians considering 2016 presidential bids. The conference’s final speaker, former vice presidential nominee and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, rejected calls for an immigration overhaul that includes a path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally.

Palin, who is rejoining Fox News Channel as an analyst less than half a year after they decided to part ways, also offered a warning to “the good old boys” in the GOP leadership who are calling for conservative activists to tone down aggressive rhetoric.

“You do not marginalize, you don’t discredit and dismiss, every day average hard-working Americans – those who are part of that grass-roots tea party movement,” she said.

Grandson: Mandela recovering The ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHANNESBURG – Former South Africa President Nelson Mandela’s health has improved, his grandson said Saturday as the 94-year-old spent his eighth day in the hospital recovering from a lung infection.

Mandla Mandela said that when he left his grandfather in Pretoria, before heading to Qunu for a family memorial, “we saw the improvement in his health.”

“The old man is not only ours, but he is for the people of South Africa, Africa, and the whole world,” he said at the funeral of an elderly cousin, Florence Nondlela Mandela, in Mandela’s home village in South Africa’s Eastern Cape.

“We would like to say, even tomorrow, these prayers are the ones that will make him strong, so that he can feel better and rise from that hospital bed.”

Soweto African children hold posters and prints of former President Nelson Mandela and get well messages Saturday outside Mandela’s home in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Dozens of children traveled from Soweto to the northern Johannesburg suburb of Houghton where Mandela lives. In light blue hats, white and orange tops, and blue skirts, some held mini South African flags and marched down the street, singing the national anthem. Others in the group held posters that

said “We love you Tata,” and “Long Live.”

The children then left their posters against a wall outside the beloved statesman’s home.

Mandela’s daughters, Zindzi, Makaziwe and Zenani Dlamini, were among those who visited the anti-apartheid leader Saturday in a Pretoria hospital.

Iran’s new president speaks of ‘moderation’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS

AP photo

Shahla Ashiq uses a hand fan to cool off her daughter, Momina, 2, during a power outage Tuesday at a hospital in Gujar Khan, Pakistan.

Power shortage a threat for nuclear-armed Pakistan The ASSOCIATED PRESS GUJAR KHAN, Pakistan – A woman named Rehana Yasmin struggles to keep her sick 2-year-old granddaughter cool in a sweltering hospital where working air conditioners are rare and electric fans are idle for much of the day.

Elsewhere, households can’t rely on their refrigerators, and at textile factories, factory workers say they can’t operate their machines for enough hours to earn their daily bread.

All are victims of Pakistan’s biggest problem, one that recently brought down a government – not the U.S. drone war in its backyard, not its permanent confrontation with India, but its inability to generate enough electricity.

Pakistan, nuclear-armed, can’t deliver a reliable power supply to its 180 million citizens.

“Power, power, power is the problem. It’s power at home, in the workplace, on the streets,” said Rizwana Kauser, head nurse at the hospital in the city of Gujar Khan, about 40 miles from Islamabad.

Power can be out for up to 20 hours a day in the summer.

TV coverage may be lost in the middle of a cliffhanger cricket match. Office meetings are scheduled around anticipated power cuts. Without electric fans, mosquitoes proliferate.

People get stuck in elevators.

Meat rots in refrigerators.

The shortfalls that became the top issue in the recent election are estimated at 3,500 to 6,000 megawatts – up to a third of total demand.

The problems result in part from bad bill-collecting, which leaves utility companies short of funds to pay for the oil that powers much of the production, which in turn means the state oil company can’t buy enough oil on international markets.

Power theft is rampant, often consisting of simply slinging a hook over a conveniently placed electricity wire. The infrastructure of the state-controlled utility companies around the country is outdated, the companies are inefficient, and power plants are heavily dependent on oil despite Pakistan’s abundant

coal resources, experts say.

Fixing the problems is likely to take years, leaving Nawaz Sharif, the new prime minister, with a gargantuan task.

But with Pakistanis impatient for action, the government has announced plans to pay off about $5 billion owed to companies throughout the supply chain within 60 days. It’s not a long-term solution but it would at least offer the government some breathing room.

And that’s just to keep the electricity flowing.

For Rehana Yasmin, relief can’t come too soon. She has been at the public hospital in Gujar Khan for a week, tending to her granddaughter who has dysentery. She brings her own water because there’s no electricity to run the pump of the hospital well. She buys homemade straw fans hawked in the hospital’s hallways.

For the past week, Yasmin said, “during the night we hardly have two hours of electricity and during the day, it’s minimal. This lack of electricity is making children sick and making the elders sick as well.”

TEHRAN, Iran – Wild celebrations broke out on Tehran streets that were battlefields four years ago as reformist-backed Hasan Rowhani capped a stunning surge to claim Iran’s presidency on Saturday, throwing open the political order after relentless crackdowns by hard-liners to consolidate and safeguard their grip on power.

“Long live Rowhani,” tens of thousands of jubilant supporters chanted as security officials made no attempt to rein in crowds – joyous and even a bit bewildered by the scope of his victory with more than three times the votes of his nearest rival.

In his first statement after the results were announced, Rowhani said that “a new op-

portunity has been created ... for those who truly respect democracy, interaction and free dialogue.”

But in Iran, even landslides at the ballot box do not equate to policymaking influence.

All key decisions – including nuclear efforts, defense and foreign affairs – remain solidly in the hands of the ruling clerics and their powerful protectors, the Revolutionary Guard. What Rowhani’s victory does is reopen space for moderate and liberal voices that have been largely muzzled in reprisal for massive protests and clashes in 2009 over claims the vote was rigged to deny reformists the presidency.

Rowhani’s supporters also viewed the election as a rebuke of uncompromising policies that have left the Is-

lamic Republic increasingly isolated and under biting sanctions from the West over Tehran’s nuclear program.

The 64-year-old Rowhani is hardly a radical – having served in governments and in the highly sensitive role of nuclear negotiator – but he has taken a strong stance against the combative international policies of outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and others.

“I’ve never been an extremist,” Rowhani said on state TV shortly after the official results were announced.

“I support moderation.”

“I thank God that once again rationality and moderation has shined on Iran,” he continued. “This is the victory of wisdom, a victory of moderation and a victory of commitment over extremism.”

Syrian troops continue offensive The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT – Syrian troops pushed forward with their offensive against rebels Saturday, capturing a suburb near the Damascus international airport as the U.S. warned that the alleged use of chemical weapons by President Bashar Assad’s forces and the involvement of the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah in the civil war threaten to put a proposed political settlement out of reach.

The U.S. and Russia have been pressing for a peace conference to end Syria’s civil war in Geneva, but prospects for that have been dampened after a series of regime battlefield victories and hardened positions by both sides as the death toll from the more than

2-year-old conflict has surged to nearly 93,000.

President Barack Obama’s decision this week to send lethal aid to Syrian rebels and the deepening involvement of trained Shiite fighters from Lebanon’s Hezbollah group also has raised the stakes, setting up a proxy fight between Iran and the West that threatens to engulf more of the Middle East.

The U.S. reversal after months of saying it would not intervene in the conflict militarily came after Washington said it had conclusive evidence the Syrian regime had used chemical weapons, something Obama had said would be a “red line.”

Syria has denied the accusations, saying Obama was lying about the evidence to

justify his decision to arm the rebels. Syria’s ally Russia also suggested Saturday that the evidence put forth by the United States of the use of chemical weapons doesn’t meet stringent criteria for reliability.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was quoted in a statement as saying the United States continues to work aggressively for a political solution with the goal of a second Geneva meeting. But “the use of chemical weapons and increasing involvement of Hezbollah demonstrates the regime’s lack of commitment to negotiations and threatens to put a political settlement out of reach,” he said in a telephone conversation Friday with Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari.

There are limitations on who can successfully receive a concealed-carry permit, but what about those who shouldn’t have one, he said.

They probably shouldn’t be carrying a firearm, he said, but likely will be able to. This could create scary situations for officers.

Sources: 2 vital components to Prism’s success of data and helps the government find discrete, manageable strands of information.

The fact that it is productive is not surprising; documents show it is one of the major sources for what ends up in the president’s daily briefing.

Prism makes sense of the cacophony of the Internet’s raw feed. It provides the government with names, addresses, conversation histories and entire archives of email inboxes.

Many of the people interviewed for this report insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss a classified, continuing effort. But those interviews, along with public statements and the few public documents available, show there are two vital components to Prism’s success.

The first is how the government works closely with the companies that keep people

• SURVEILLANCE Continued from page A1 the recent attention, the program actually is a relatively small part of a much more expansive and intrusive eavesdropping effort.

Americans who disapprove of the government reading their emails have more to worry about from a different and larger NSA effort that snatches data as it passes through the fiber optic cables that make up the Internet’s backbone.

That program, which has been known for years, copies Internet traffic as it enters and leaves the United States, then routes it to the NSA for analysis.

Whether by clever choice or coincidence, Prism appears to do what its name suggests.

Like a triangular piece of glass, Prism takes large beams

perpetually connected to each other and the world. That story line has attracted the most attention so far.

The second and far murkier one is how Prism fits into a larger U.S. wiretapping program in place for years.

Deep in the oceans, hundreds of cables carry much of the world’s phone and Internet traffic. Since at least the early 1970s, the NSA has been tapping foreign cables. It doesn’t need permission. That’s its job.

But Internet data doesn’t care about borders. Send an email from Pakistan to Afghanistan and it might pass through a mail server in the United States, the same computer that handles messages to and from Americans. The NSA is prohibited from spying on Americans or anyone inside the United States. That’s the FBI’s job and it requires a warrant.

Many dads would fathers changes be content spending some through time, is special time with their sons that we celebrate and daughters. Regardless how our fathers for you celebrate, Happy Father’s their role in menDay today. toring.

That might mean a game of catch. It might mean showing us how to change a tire or the oil, teaching us the fine art of fishing, or helping us build the treehouse we always wanted.

It might mean letting us win at anything from Mario Kart to a game of basketball. Or it might mean disciplining us when we know we’ve done wrong. For all those reasons, we commend fathers today on Father’s Day. They stand by our side, through the good and bad times. And they help to teach us right and wrong.

Though they are certainly fallible themselves, we rarely see that until we’re much older. It’s the wisdom he imparts that we recall.

Dad is different from mom. Always has been. She was the loving, tender one. He was the one who would tell you what he was thinking, whether you had asked or not.

The one who would show you the way he would do things, whether wrong or right, and you would follow. Because he’s dad.

So today, don’t think you need to give him a present or buy him a card.

Instead, stop by. Chew the cud. Do what he wants to do for a change.

Maybe that means watching a ballgame and chatting. Maybe it means helping him finish that project he keeps putting to the side but really wants to finish.

Maybe he wants to go fishing. Maybe he wants help under the hood of his old truck or car.

Or maybe it’s simply having a game of catch, whether you want to or not.

Because you never know how long you have.

And what you want your dad to remember are the moments you spent sharing quality time together.

Pope John Paul II coined the phrase, “The Culture of Death.”

One of the main characteristics of the culture is ethical relativism, which means: “If I can justify it, it must be right!”

It is the blurring of the line between black and white, right and wrong.

Many politically correct statements are the product of this process. Unfortunately, what society feels is politically correct, trendy and becoming socially aware and accepted doesn’t wash with God! The Bible is clear on marriage and sex outside of marriage. God values life at any stage of development. He is very clear on that, and no amount of social trending will change that.

Father Grady believes in God and

what He has told us is right. Being a man of God, he followed his beliefs and did what he felt was right.

He drew a line in the sand and said, “No, this is wrong.”

I doubt seriously if Father Grady wants to be a bishop, but what he wants is to be true to his convictions and beliefs.

Glorified chain letter To the Editor: This is in response to Tom Kerth’s recent letter (May 29) regarding public pension reform. Yes, it’s true, your funds were mishandled.

Did you really expect Illinois’ elected officials to do otherwise?

Look at their track record of corruption, greed and misuse of funds exhibited over the past several generations.

The taxpayer simply cannot continue to pay the interest on this credit card-like debt. I was shocked when I received my last propertytax bill. It decreased by less than

3 percent after winning an appeal that lowered my valuation by 15 percent. You do the math!

Many complain of the continually rising taxes while property values decline, but they would escalate no matter what barometer was used in assessments.

What is the largest expense to any organization, whether it be a corporation or a governing body?

Labor! Collective bargaining agreements are at the root of this crisis.

Instead of teachers going on strike for a raise, they should graciously accept a 20 percent decrease. Perhaps then they wouldn’t be viewed by many as selfish, manipulative

bullies.

Not only is this pension crisis severely impacting the taxpayer, but anyone recently accepting public sector employment. You, Mr. Kerth, are spending their money as well as what you funded into the system.

As it stands now, the pension system is little more than a glorified chain letter, with those end links waiting for their fair share, while likely having to accept pennies on the dollar. And you, as a responsible American, should be ashamed of that!

Bad behavior no longer carries serious consequences in U.S. Ever since President Bill Clinton “did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky,” whatever remains of standards seem to have fallen even lower among people who hold offices and positions once thought to require good behavior and strong moral character.

Last year, several Secret Service agents left the agency amid scandal after allegedly engaging the services of prostitutes while advancing a trip to Cartagena, Colombia, for President Barack Obama. A side note: One of the prostitutes, Dania Londono Suarez, wrote a tell-all book about the incident titled “Room Service.” According to the Huffington Post’s Latinovoices, she’s also opening a nonprofit to “help hookers” and “has a modeling contract plus a deal to bring her story to television.” Of course, she does.

Just this week, CBS News reported that “...the State Department may have covered up allegations of illegal and inappropriate behavior within its ranks.” The allegations

were contained in an internal Office of Inspector General memo, leaked by a former State Department investigator, which, according to CBS News, “cited eight specific examples” of impropriety, including the 2011 investigation into an ambassador who “routinely ditched ... his protective security detail” in order to “solicit sexual favors from prostitutes.”

The ambassador, of course, denies the allegations. So, not surprisingly, does the State Department, which, reports ABC News, “offered a point-by-point pushback” to the memo’s claims. “We take allegations of misconduct seriously and we investigate thoroughly,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters Monday. Not so says the memo. It alleges State Department investigations into the charges were “influenced, manipulated, or simply called off.”

As if that isn’t enough, the memo claims the State Department may have covered up details about an underground drug ring operating

Views Cal Thomas near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad that allegedly supplied security contractors with drugs. According to CBS News, the memo also includes allegations that a State Department security official in Beirut “engaged in sexual assaults on foreign nationals hired as embassy guards” and that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s security details “engaged prostitutes while on official trips in foreign countries.” The solicitation of prostitutes among security details, alleges the memo, was an “endemic” problem.

This is worse than outrageous.

These incidents, if proved true, are a stain on the honor and reputation of the country these people are, or were, supposed to represent.

In 1958, William Lederer and Eugene Burdick published a novel called “The Ugly American,” which

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

graphically detailed why U.S. diplomacy failed in Southeast Asia and why communism didn’t. Our arrogance and boorish behavior doomed us there. Unfortunately, the book turned out to be prophetic.

Is history repeating itself, not on a military or political level, but in the destruction of what remains of our moral underpinnings?

How can the United States project its core values when people who represent it behave like out-of-control college kids on spring break?

There was a time when bad behavior carried serious consequences; a time when those who exhibited bad behavior suffered socially for their lapses. They lost jobs; they lost marriages; they lost friends. Today, they’re rewarded with book contracts and reality TV shows. What happened to doing what’s right, instead of doing who’s easy?

People who grew up with parents who instilled a strong moral code, attended schools that reinforced it and lived in communities that affirmed it, now find that if they

question bad behavior today they’re considered behind the times, even prudish.

With the media portraying all sorts of behavior as acceptable; with politicians in high places getting away with low behavior and in some cases paying little or no penalty, where are the deterrents?

Disappointing family used to be the default position for avoiding extramarital entanglements in cases where religious or ethical values did not apply.

While each man should be held accountable for his own behavior, the rest of us should consider what we’re promoting and tolerating as a nation and the permission it gives others to follow bad examples.

Irving Berlin wrote a silly song called “The Secret Service (Makes Me Nervous).” We should all be nervous.

We also should ask ourselves what we intend to do about it.

There was always good night hugs and kisses, and ‘I love you’ could never be said too much.”

“We love my Dad so much, he just came and stayed with us for the 18 days our newborn was in the NICU. He took care of a very active 2-year-old, a very scheduled 8-year-old, 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 frogs and some fish! Never complained.”

TRAFFIC TO SHIFT ON CHARLES MILLER McHENRY – Traffic on Charles J. Miller Road will be shifted onto the newly constructed lanes Wednesday, according to a project alert.

The shift of both eastbound and westbound traffic will allow crews to reconstruct what will be the eastbound lanes, the alert said.

The project is expected to wrap up in mid-October.

It includes widening the twolane road to four lanes from near the entrance to the South Wastewater Treatment Plant to River Road and installing a new two-lane bridge over the Fox River to supplement the existing bridge. It is expected to cost $12 million, according to the project’s website.

About 3:45 p.m. the owner of the house at 112 Fox St. heard alarms and smelled smoke, said Capt. Kevin Eriksen.

The fire was contained to one room, but there was smoke damage on the second floor, Eriksen said.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and the value of damage it left has yet to be determined, Eriksen said.

RINGWOOD – The McHenry County Conservation District offers a day of activities that will help the whole family to “Get Outside and Grow” together from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Saturday at Lost Valley Visitor Center in Glacial Park, Route 31 and Harts Road.

In the morning, children and parents will be split – parents will learn how to feel more comfortable playing outside with their children, and kids will learn how to overcome some of their fears of the outdoor world.

After a picnic lunch and a visit from a local author, everyone comes together to experience fun outdoor activities in the conservation area.

Each family will take home an activity backpack and the knowledge to continue outdoor explorations for months and years to come.

A continental breakfast will be provided; participants are asked to bring their own sack lunches.

The program is free, but registration is required by Monday and is accepted online at www. mccdistirct.org, by phone at 815-479-5779, mail or walk-in at Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road in Crystal Lake.

Century of service Parade celebrates Cary Fire Protection District’s milestone

By LINDSAY WEBER editorial@nwherald.com CARY – Although it literally rained on the Cary Fire Protection District’s Centennial Parade, the weather did not put a damper on the enthusiasm of those in attendance.

The department has been in business since 1913 and Saturday’s festivities celebrated its 100th year of service.

More than 30 fire protection vehicles wound their way from First Street in a procession, sirens crying out in celebration.

Umbrellas lined the streets where Cary residents smiled and waved to local and visiting firefighters to the sound of music from the Cary-Grove High School band.

Patrick and Carrie Green positioned themselves under a large tree along the parade route to keep the soaking to a minimum. Daughters

Logan Carter, 3, and Lorelei Carter, 2, watch with their mother, Misty Carter, as firetrucks pass during the parade Saturday. Despite the rain, people came out to celebrate the event.

Emily and Addison twirled their umbrellas in anticipation of the parade start.

“It’s really important for the girls to understand that the firefighters are here to protect them and take

care of the community,” Patrick Green said. “There’s a lot of history in some of the vehicles and the girls really wanted to see the firetrucks.”

McHENRY – The owner of a McHenry microbrewery hopes to recoup some of the costs of installing a handicapped-accessible ramp.

The McHenry City Council on Monday evening will consider a request from Curt Ames, the owner of Chain O’ Lakes Brewing Co., to reimburse him the $17,585 it cost to install the ramp at 3425 Pearl St. “Like any other small business, you rapidly see all your resources deplete, and that’s where I’m at,” Ames said. “Everything has gone over budget because we’re trying to maintain the historical nature of the building. The [reimbursement] will ensure that we will be able to do all we want to do for the building.”

Ames hopes to open a microbrewery at the former site of the McHenry Brewing Co., which closed its doors 70 years ago. The property has been empty since the Green Pearl Restaurant closed in June 2010.

The building has sat vacant for many years primarily because it did not have a handicapped-accessible entrance, according to a council report prepared by Deputy City Administrator Doug Martin.

The report recommends the approval of the reimbursement because a business there would benefit the entire area.

It is within the city’s tax increment financing district, which was established in 2002. The district includes the Riverside Drive and

Local leaders reflect on fatherhood

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – For some fathers, their duties as leaders do not end with their children.

Before fathers around McHenry County celebrate Father’s Day golfing with friends, enjoying meals with families or just relaxing, the Northwest Herald asked some community leaders to reflect on their fatherhood and what it has meant to them.

From reverends to mayors, fatherhood has played a large role in molding the men into community cornerstones.

Aaron Shepley The Crystal Lake mayor is the proud father of 16-year-old and 19-year-old daughters and senior vice president of administrative affairs for Centegra Health System. The juggling act between city leader, high-ranking administrator and father can be challenging, but it is the title of father that he said he always keeps first.

Q: What does being a father mean to you?

Shepley: I think it’s probably the greatest thing that could ever happen to

anyone. It’s obviously a tremendous responsibility, but at the same time, the reward surpasses everything else.

It’s a pretty tremendous experience to have kids and watch them grow into the people they become.

Q: How do you balance being a father with everything else?

Shepley: It’s not easy. I think the good news is kids in this generation are now very independent in all the activities they get involved with. At the end of the day, our weekends and our lives as parents revolve around the most precious thing we

• FLEMING ROAD: Work continues to rebuild the 2 ∏-mile stretch of road between Route 120 and Country Club Road. A posted detour reroutes drivers through Woodstock along Routes 120, 47 and 14.

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

• WALKUP ROAD: The last component of the Walkup Road improvement project fell into place last week with the activation of the new traffic signal and Walkup and Mason Hill roads.

All that’s left is final landscaping and minor punch-list items, so please keep an eye out for workers over the next few weeks.

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

• CHARLES MILLER ROAD: A pattern change is scheduled for this Wednesday to move traffic west of the bridge onto the two new lanes.

Work is ongoing to create another two-lane span over the Fox River, 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 and improving the intersection of Miller and River roads, will cost about $12 million and is anticipated to be finished by the end of October, weather permitting.

• 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

CRYSTAL LAKE – Before tossing any unused cardboard boxes into a recycling bin, consider throwing them into Crystal Lake.

With a little engineering ingenuity, those boxes could become one of the more than 50 cardboard boats to compete in the 29th annual America’s Cardboard Cup Regatta on Saturday at the Crystal Lake Park District’s Main Beach. Hopeful sailors without cardboard now can pick up materials at the Crystal Lake Park District Maintenance Garage located at 300 Lake Shore Drive anytime between 9 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

Boats can be registered the day of the event or ahead of time at the park district office.

Scott Viger, who has helped organize the event for the past 19 years, said each competition is different and a fun experience. He said it never gets old thanks to the creativity, such as last year’s giant red Solo cup and a boat manned by a crew dressed in “Pirates of the Caribbean” costumes.

“I know my family looks forward to it every year,” Viger said. “The whole goal is to have a nice family day at the beach and raise a couple bucks for charity.”

The competition raises money for local charities, contributing more than $500,000 since the first event.

Entry fees are $20 per family and $200 per business with a $3 general admission fee per person that is capped at $15 per family. The event draws

CRYSTAL LAKE: CHANGING THE TEST

GED test registration July 31 for new testers NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County College officials are spreading the word that anyone who plans to take a GED test in McHenry County this year must register and pay for the GED test in person by July 31 or will need to wait until a new test comes out in January 2014.

Test takers must register and pay $50 in person at the Regional Office of Education in Woodstock, located in the McHenry County Government Center, 2200 N. Seminary Ave. (Route 47) in Woodstock.

After registering, test takers also must sign up for a testing date in person at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14 in Crystal Lake.

The last testing date for new testers at McHenry County College is Oct. 5, and for re-testers, the deadline is mid-December.

“Another option for students who do not take the

current paper and pencil test

by Oct. 5 is to take the test on computer until mid-December at Elgin Community College,” Sherry May, coordinator of Adult Education Instruction at MCC, said in a news release.

The current test is being replaced with a computer-based test on Jan. 2, 2014, which will have a longer writing time (from 45 minutes to 90 minutes) and will cost $120, instead of the current $50.

As an incentive to get more test takers to take a computer-based GED test, the GED Testing Service is offering students an opportunity to begin their GED test on computer with one free retake if they fail their first test. The offer is part of the Second Shot program, which has been extended through Aug. 31 at selected sites throughout the state.

The closest site for McHenry County area GED test takers is Elgin Community College.

Computer-based testing fees

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

are $24 per test with payment by credit or debit only. Beginning in 2014, tests will be $30 each. Currently, the computer-based test is not available at McHenry County College.

Test takers who are taking the computer-based test can register for up to two tests at a time. Test takers will be given an ID number that they need to save. Most people receive their test results before they leave the ECC testing center, May said.

ECC is a pilot site for the computer-based GED testing this year and is available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays through the summer.

Beginning in the fall, computer-based testing at ECC will be available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays.

Registration for computer-based testing is done only online at www.GEDtestingservice.com. For information, call the Regional Office of Education at 815-334-4475 or Sherry May at MCC at 815479-7568.

Walsh calls for change in GOP strategy Voice your opinion

• WALSH Continued from page B1 much for too many of us,” Walsh said.

For the past six months, he has been speaking two or three times a week to crowds of 50 to 350 people. Walsh still starts his town hall meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance, and recognizing military veterans.

“Every town hall is a little different; it’s the same basic message, trying to grow this independent movement,” Walsh said.

On Saturday, even though he wore a microphone, he did occasionally shout to emphasize his points.

“There’s a huge number of independents, conservatives and tea party people around the state who are demoralized right now,” Walsh said.

Have you ever listened to Joe Walsh’s radio show? Vote online at NWHerald.com.

“They’re fed up with the Republican party, especially the Illinois Republican Party, and they’re looking for something to do. I feel the same way, that’s why I’m creating this movement to give them a voice.”

Walsh, who has a radio show on five days a week on WIND, says he is not starting a party as an alternative to the Republican Party, but if the GOP doesn’t “right its ship, something is going to overtake it. If you don’t, a third party, something new will begin.”

However, he is trying to get about 20,000 people signed up for his movement, and has

about 4,000 people who have signed his pledge.

Walsh said he is disappointed in the Republican party, and the Illinois Republican party is broken and is out of touch with conservatives.

“I know that because the party is not my voice anymore. ... I’m going to grow ... a conservative, freedom-loving army,” Walsh said. “We are going to force, as best we can, the Republican Party to change.”

Walsh said if he were still in Congress, he would be asking many questions about the Benghazi terrorist attacks, calling for the disbandment of the Internal Revenue Service, and saying President Barack Obama needs to read the constitution.

He said people are too dependent on government.

He believes that Republican efforts to work with Dem-

ocrats on immigration reform are only made to gain votes.

“They are so afraid to not get re-elected, it’s what drives them,” Walsh said.

“I’m going to make the case for freedom and limited government, and I’m going to fight like hell,” he said.

Walsh said he thinks he will run again, but he doesn’t know for which office or if he’ll be on a 2014 ballot.

“We’ll see,” he said. “I think the most important thing I could do is grow this army, and really kick the Republican Party in the rear, and straighten them out.”

Dianne Hansen of Huntley worked as a social worker and came to the event.

“The best thing for a person is to get up and do for himself,” she said.

Firetrucks on display after parade’s end • PARADE Continued from page B1 Carrie Green’s father is a firefighter in Syracuse, N.Y., and she said she thinks it’s important that Cary celebrate their local heroes. Emily, 7, enjoyed getting her picture taken in “Jessica,” a pink firetruck used to promote breast cancer awareness, and Addison, 5, was hoping to take home some parade candy.

The rain ended and the parade wrapped up at Cary-

Grove High School, where the trucks were put on display for attendees to take a look.

Attractions included the RESCUE 5 truck, which was damaged at Ground Zero on Sept. 11, 2001, but has since been restored. Children clamored for a chance to meet the firefighters, climb on the trucks and sit in the driver’s seat.

Cary Fire Protection District Lt. Mike Douglass was one of the firefighters on site, keeping an ear close to his radio while answering ques-

tions and greeting residents.

“The people of Cary should be proud of their department,” Douglass said. “100 years is quite a milestone and shows the dedication we have to our town, especially since 90 percent of our staff is on a part-time volunteer basis.”

Volunteer firefighter EMT Randy Franz will soon celebrate his 18th year with the Cary department.

He said that he feels a great sense of pride and camaraderie within his department.

“We have a lot of fun but

we take our job very seriously,” Franz said. “We don’t settle for anything less than the best we can possibly do.”

Franz’s daughter, Chelsea DeBall, came to celebrate her father’s work, rushing up to him upon arriving and giving him a large, heartfelt hug.

“He’s been a firefighter since I was 5 and it’s the coolest thing to be able to tell people that my dad is a fireman,” DeBall said. “Our family spends a lot of nights worrying but we’re always so happy when he comes home.

He’s our real-life Superman.”

Conversions led to unexpected costs for owner • REIMBURSEMENT Continued from page B1

Continued from page B1 have, and that’s our children. Our priorities are our family, and if that means I have to juggle something to make it work, then that’s what I’ll do to make it happen.

Ron Parrish The McHenry County College Board president has spent a lifetime in public service.

Whether it’s teaching at Northern Illinois University, serving as village president of Bull Valley or now giving back to MCC, service has been a key component in Parrish’s professional life and personal life as a father and as a grandfather.

Q: What does it mean to you to be a father?

Parrish: Well first off, thank God I married the woman I did, because [the kids] all turned out great.

I have four kids and 10 grandkids, so now, for me, it’s all about having them come home to the farm and having the greatest time riding horses and fishing in the pond. It’s just absolutely a gift from God.

Q: What’s your fondest memory of your own father?

Parrish: I’m from West Virginia and from a very large family, and my parents made every single one of us go to college. My dad never had an education, but he and his brothers forced it upon us, and it was the best thing he could have ever done.

The Rev. Paul Martin The McHenry pastor has two families – his wife and children and his congregation. The Alliance Bible Church pastor said his role as the head of a church has

similarities to his role as head of a household, but it is still individual choices that determine whether either will be successful.

Q: What does being a father mean to you?

Martin: The first word that popped in my mind was an example. To model character and behavior and integrity and to be consistent both in the home and out of the home so that they observe my behavior and learn from that model.

Q: How do you view pastoring compared with being a father?

Martin: I think there are similarities. The family is the smallest unit of people living together, working together and cooperating toward common goals that are family goals. What’s learned in the nuclear family is carried into the church on a much broader scale. I think every set of parents has the opportunity to live out their faith and their convictions and their character in the nuclear family.

Bryan Pierce The Harvard fire chief has his hands full with four young children, his oldest about to turn 13 on Father’s Day. But even with his hectic schedule and long hours at a fire station, Pierce said he knew immediately family would always come first after having his first child.

Q: What does being a father mean to you?

Pierce: It means the world to me. It’s amazing to watch them grow and watch them become young people. It’s a jaw-dropping experience from the very start.

Q: What advice would you give to other young fathers or expecting fathers?

Pierce: Always make time for family. You can always put work away. Put family first, even if it is hard sometimes.

McHenry to host Day at Petersen Farm NORTHWEST HERALD McHENRY – Area residents are invited to the annual Day at Petersen Farm on June 23 at 4112 McCullom Lake Road, one mile west of Route 31.

The farm will open at 10 a.m. Entertainment begins at

noon, and activities conclude at 4 p.m.

M. DUANE JERNBERG Born: June 25, 1925; in Seattle Died: June 12, 2013; in McHenry McHENRY – M. Duane Jernberg, 87, of McHenry, died Wednesday, June 12, 2013, at his home surrounded by his loving family.

He was born June 25, 1925, in Seattle, Wash., to Carl Bertil and Clara (Curtis) Jernberg.

On July 19, 1958, he married Regina M. Fleming at Our Lady of

Victory Church in Chicago.

Raised in Snoqualmie Falls, Wash. Duane graduated from Snoqualmie High School and entered the U.S. Army at the age of 18. He served during World War II from 1944-1946 as a light tank crewman. Decorations and citations included the Good Conduct Medal, the Meritorious Unit Award, the European African Middle Eastern Service Medal and the Victory Medal.

A machinist and electrician for most of his lifetime, Duane was employed for more than 20 years at Streeter-Amet in Grayslake. It was there that he met the company switchboard operator, Regina, who would later become his wife.

He also worked at Oaks Mfg. as a machinist for several years, and at Elco in Woodstock, where he maintained machinery.

A loving husband and father, his family was very dear to him. He enjoyed cheering on his children at their sporting events, and after retirement, enjoyed several visits to his youngest daughter at college.

After he and his wife retired in 1993, they were excited to begin traveling throughout the United States.

They made several trips to Florida and always enjoyed whale-watching trips to Oregon. A second home in Hayward, Wis., allowed them to spend several months there during the year. An avid outdoorsman, fishing and camping were favorite pastimes, as was sailing his two-person sailboat.

Always adventurous, he held a pilot’s license as a young man.

Duane was a longtime member of St. Patrick Catholic Church in McHenry.

Survivors include his wife of nearly 55 years, Regina; five children, Sophia (James Jr.) Bryan of Hebron, Gregory P. Jernberg of McHenry, Carl D. Jernberg of McHenry, Regina Nicholas of McHenry and Kirsten (Robert Jr.) Hedberg of McHenry; four grandchildren, Hannah (Jasper) Allgood of Lakemoor, William Nicholas of Racine, Wis., Riley Hedberg of McHenry and Gaven Hedberg of McHenry; a great-grandson, Ethan Allgood of Lakemoor; a sister, Janet Jernberg of Eugene, Ore., and a brother, Dale (Judy) Jernberg of Eugene, Ore. He was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother, Wayne (the late Betty) Jernberg.

The visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, June 18, at Justen Funeral Home & Crematory, 3700

W. Charles J. Miller Road, McHenry. The visitation will continue Wednesday at the funeral home from 8:45 a.m. until leaving in procession for the 10 a.m. funeral Mass at St. Patrick Catholic Church, 3500 W. Washington St., McHenry.

BLACKH AW KS 1

GAME 2

BR UI NS 2 (OT)

SERIES TIED 1-1 Hawks quick hits WHAT WORKED Attacking the net: The Hawks peppered Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask as they outshot Boston, 19-4, in the first period to take a 1-0 lead. Patrick Sharp’s goal was aided by Michael Handzus blocking Rask. The Hawks attempted 64 shots (putting 34 on net), compared to the Bruins’ 49 shots (28 on goal).

Solid goaltending: The question heading into the playoffs surrounded Corey Crawford’s ability to be the man in net who could win the Stanley Cup for the Hawks. He put together another good effort despite the loss. He was often left to make the big save in the third period and overtime, and he did everything he could to put the Hawks in position to win. He stopped 26 shots.

Penalty kill: For as bad as the Hawks perform with a man advantage, they’re deadly when down a man. The Hawks killed three Boston power plays, holding them to three shots on goal.

WHAT DIDN’T WORK

The Bruins won, 2-1, in overtime to even the series, 1-1.

POWERLESS Bruins take advantage of Hawks’ impotent power play Hawks Insider

VIEWS Jeff Arnold CHICAGO – By now, you know the symptoms.

Your head starts spinning. Your stomach starts turning somersaults like it does after a bad, late-night burrito. Anxiety sets in. You start twitching. And no, we’re not talking about another heart-pounding overtime thriller that sent your body into convulsions late Saturday night – even before the Boston Bruins evened the Stanley Cup Final with a 2-1 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

The cause: The Hawks’ power play.

The uneasiness starts almost as soon as the referee raises his arm, which is your signal to reach for the antacid. It continues when the Hawks start their two-minute stretch of futility.

Three times during regulation and into overtime, you felt it. So did the sellout crowd of 22,154 at the United Center, who rose to their feet at the start of every power play, hoping that a special teams unit that entered Game 2 having converted on a whopping 13.7 percent success rate with a one-man advantage would finally, somehow, find the error of its ways.

It only got worse.

Fans remained standing through each chance. The Hawks couldn’t be this bad. Could they? Fans crossed their fingers. They waved their red playoff towels and rubbed their lucky rabbit’s foot and said a dozen Hail Marys.

Nothing worked. And for Boston’s part, it was almost like the Bruins were daring the Hawks to score, knowing nothing, in all reality, was coming. That brought excuses from the Hawks’ locker room afterward.

“They’ve got a good power kill, and so do we,” captain Jonathan Toews reasoned. “It’s tough to go out there and do everything you want every single time you get the chance.”

Hawks’ players toyed with the puck on the point. They sent errant passes across the ice to

BRUINS 2, BLACKHAWKS 1 (OT) Tipping point: The overtime session when Boston overwhelmed the Hawks with shots, peppering Corey Crawford with eight shots before Daniel Paille ended it.

Afterward, Hawks players admitted they didn’t deserve to win given the way they played in overtime.

Lamplighters: Patrick Sharp registered the Hawks’ only goal during a first period when they were dominant before allowing the Bruins to do whatever they pleased.

The Hawks had 19 of their 34 shots in the opening 20 minutes, but then almost disappeared.

Between the pipes: Crawford made 26 saves on the night and was steady throughout. He simply had no chance on Paille’s game-winner, which was well out of his reach, evening the series at a game apiece.

Under the radar: Sharp was among the Hawks’ more active shooters, tying Marian Hossa with seven shots on goal. Afterward, he said he felt strong and put himself in good positions to put pucks on net – something the Hawks will need to continue over the next two games in Boston.

– Jeff Arnold no one in particular. On the Hawks’ final power play chance in the second period, Marian Hossa snapped his stick in two and by the time he returned with a new one, the puck was skimming out of the Hawks’ zone and out of harm’s way.

Fans moaned. They groaned. They booed.

Tweeters cursed, using every adjective imaginable to describe the Hawks’ lethargic power play. They used words like fruitless, powerless and many more that aren’t fit to be printed in a family newspaper.

But none of them were inaccurate. And worse yet, no one was surprised.

It’s hard to imagine that a power play unit built around some of the Hawks’ biggest stars could be worse than it was in the Western Conference finals against Los Angeles, when the Hawks scored one power play goal on 15 chances.

After two games against the Bruins, the Hawks are 0 for 6. Toews said there are areas (insert power play here) of the Hawks game that can be better. He said it will make a “world of difference” if said area improves.

Toews and others who tend to speak for the team are tired of being asked to address a unit that has somehow been down-graded from dreadful.

It will come, the Hawks insist. We’re getting chances, coach Joel Quenneville has repeated throughout the playoffs – a stretch when the Hawks are a combined 7 for 58. No matter how bad your math is, that’s not good.

Here’s the plain and simple truth from Saturday night. The Hawks let the Bruins do whatever they pleased and didn’t put up much of a fight after the first period. The let up on the gas and got pushed around at home. The issues on the power play only made matters worse. Players insist fatigue isn’t a factor. They swear, while frustrated with “giving that one away” in Toews’ words, that they’ll bounce back.

Now the series is tied one game apiece heading into two games in Boston, where things certainly won’t get easier. If the Hawks are to hoist their second Stanley Cup in four years, something’s got to give. The chances that Quenneville is so fond of saying are coming have to be cashed in. The goals that Hawks players swear are coming off the power play chances have to come.

The intensity the Hawks started Game 2 with has to stretch through three periods – and if Games 1 and 2 are any indication – into at least one overtime. But as evenly matched as the Hawks and Bruins appear to be while playing five on five, the areas (namely the power play) that Toews alluded to needing improvement need to, well, improve.

In a hurry. But until they do, keep the antacids close.

Power play: The Hawks’ dreadful power play made another appearance against the Bruins. They went 0 for 2 with the man advantage and registered only two shots on goal. A passive unit blew a chance to extend the Hawks’ one-goal lead, and it cost them.

Wasted opportunities: The Hawks weren’t able to replicate their first-period effort and with the series now tied, that’s regrettable.

Home-ice advantage is now gone and great looks in the offensive zone won’t come as easy in Boston.

Energy: For 20 minutes, the Hawks were buzzing around the ice, making crisp passes while creating plenty of scoring opportunities.

That evaporated as the game progressed and by overtime, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before the Bruins would score.

The Hawks appeared sluggish leading to costly turnovers.

STARS OF THE GAME Patrick Sharp: Sharp was all over the offensive zone, delivering seven shots on goal and putting the Hawks ahead 1-0 in the first period with a wrister past Tuukka Rask.

Daniel Paille: Paille scored the game-winning goal in overtime to tie the series. He also assisted on Chris Kelly’s game-tying goal in the second period.

Tuukka Rask: Rask stopped 33 of 34 shots he faced against the Hawks and the only one to get past him came when he was screened.

TWEET, TWEET @jessespector: 7:28 left in the second period, and Patrick Sharp still has a 1-0 lead and 7-6 shots advantage on the Bruins.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING “He had one of those years that the numbers jumped off the charts. Playing against top lines shift in, shift out, that says a lot.”

– Hawks coach Joel Quenneville on Jonathan Toews winning the Selke Trophy “I think he’s one of those different levels, elite status as far as his conditioning. He can sustain big minutes, long shifts, doesn’t show the wear and tear over the course, whether it’s recovery for another shift or for a long, big-minute game.”

– Quenneville on Duncan Keith’s endurance “Well, we definitely were in survival mode there for a bit. It looked like they had more guys out there than we did. They were pouncing on every single puck in front of the net, had a lot of chances. We definitely played pretty bad. But, you know, it was good that we were only down by one and regrouped after that.”

– Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask on the Hawks’ first-period success

HAWKS NOTES

Toews 4th, Kane 6th in voting for Hart Trophy

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – The Blackhawks’ depth has been one of the main drivers behind their run to the Stanley Cup Final.

That carried over to Saturday night’s NHL awards, when captain Jonathan Toews finished fourth in the voting for the Hart Trophy, given to the league’s MVP, which was won

by Washington’s Alex Ovechkin. Patrick Kane was sixth.

Toews received 886 votes, well behind Ovechkin’s 1,090 – including 50 first-place votes.

Toews had 39. The Hart Trophy voting came a day after Toews was awarded the NHL’s Frank J. Selke Trophy, being recognized as the league’s top defensive forward. Toews received a standing ovation when the honor was announced during Saturday night’s first period.

But Toews’ victory was nearly as close as Wednesday night’s 4-3 Hawks’ win in triple overtime. Toews edged Boston’s Patrice Bergeron by a margin of only 10 votes. Toews topped the voting with 1,260 votes.

“You never expect those things,” Toews said after Saturday’s morning skate. “There are so many players around the league that could be recognized for that. Not just around the league, but in this locker room, too. You’re seeing the reason we’ve gone so far in the playoffs – because of so many different guys.”

The Hawks’ star power was evident in most of the NHL honors. Defenseman Duncan Keith finished sixth for the Norris Trophy, honoring the leagues top defenseman. That award went to Montreal’s P.K. Subban. Hawks rookie Bran-

Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews (right) finished fourth in the voting for the Hart Trophy, won by Washington’s Alex Ovechkin. don Saad finished third in the voting for the Calder Trophy, recognizing the league’s top first-year player.

Hawks goalkeepers Ray Emery and Corey Crawford finished seventh and eighth,

respectively for the Vezina Trophy, which was won by Columbus’ Sergei Bobrovski.

Patrick Kane and coach Joel Quenneville also finalists for awards. Kane was up for the Lady Byng Trophy, honoring

the league’s top gentleman, while Quenneville was a finalist for the NHL’s Coach of the Year honor.

Getting to know you: Despite not facing off for almost two years before Wednesday night’s triple-overtime game, the Hawks and Bruins entered Saturday having already played almost six periods of hockey against each other, giving them a sense of familiarity.

Quenneville used video and scouting reports to prepare for the Bruins, but he said Saturday that Wednesday’s Game 1, white-knuckle 4-3 victory gave him much more to go on. But one thing didn’t come as a surprise.

“We know we got to be good.

I know they’re going to be hungry and ready,” Quenneville said. “We have to be better.”

One lesson learned early on in the series: The Bruins

aren’t like a lot of teams the Hawks have faced this season. ‘‘They play with the puck well. That’s different from the West teams,” forward Michael Frolik said Saturday. “The West teams are more simple – just put the puck deep. (The Bruins’) skill guys can make some plays. They really play well with the puck and have good patience with the puck.”

Streaking: The Hawks have won eight of their past 10 games – a stretch that includes a 3-1 record in overtime. The Hawks have an NHL-best 10 postseason wins at home and have outscored opponents 3822 at the United Center.

The Bruins also have been hot and have not lost a game in regulation since Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against Toronto. Boston is 10-2 since and has outscored its opponents 38-21.

BLACKH AW KS 1

GAME 2

SERIES TIED 1-1

Bruins tie series, Hawks need to steal one back On Saturday night, the Boston Bruins evened the score. In overtime, the Bruins’ Daniel Paille scored and now the teams are tied, 1-1, heading to Boston. Sports editor Jon Styf and reporter Meghan Montemurro discuss: Styf: Now, it’s the Bruins series.

They go home, they win, they have a major lead. They stole one. Now, the Blackhawks need to steal one back, soon.

Montemurro: Considering how much the Hawks dominated the first period, this loss is much more painful than the Bruins losing Game 1 after holding a two-goal lead.

Wasted opportunities will haunt the Hawks, especially after again failing

Northwest Herald sports writer Meghan Montemurro breaks down Game 2:

BC+ A C AB+

Hawks’ even-strength attack vs. Bruins’ defense The Blackhawks dominated the first period and created consistent opportunities to score. They harassed Bruins netminder Tuukka Rask often, particularly through the first 20 minutes, when the Hawks outshot Boston, 19-4. Their constant pressure led to Patrick Sharp’s goal with 8:38 left in the first period.

But their failure to convert despite good looks caught up with them when Chris Kelly’s goal tied the game in the second period. As the game progressed, they looked sluggish and during the second and third periods, the Bruins landed nine more shots on goal than the Hawks.

Bruins’ even-strength attack vs. Hawks’ defense Boston couldn’t find any offensive rhythm early, struggling to connect on passes and finding little room to get off shots. At one point during the first period, Boston went nearly 10 minutes without a shot on net. The Bruins adopted the quality over quantity mantra as they scored on only their seventh shot of the game during the second period. They gained some confidence following the goal, ultimately outshooting the Hawks during that period. While Kelly’s game-tying goal may qualify as a cheapie, it was the byproduct of increased pressure on the forecheck.

Hawks’ power play vs. Bruins’ penalty kill Stop if you’ve heard this before: the Hawks’ power play is brutal. They again were unable to score with a man advantage, finishing 0 for 3 with only two shots on goal during regulation. For as much as the Hawks have talked about firing shots at the net during power plays, the Hawks were passive and tended to stay in one spot too often allowing the Bruins to easily defend while down a man. The Hawks can’t expect to win the Stanley Cup with no help from the power play.

Bruins’ power play vs. Hawks’ penalty kill Although the Bruins didn’t score on either of their two power plays, they moved the puck well and created some chances. While Boston only managed three total shots on goal during their power plays in regulation, they were noticeably better than the Hawks. They threatened and if it weren’t for Hawks goaltender Corey Crawford, Boston could have slipped one into the net.

Goaltending Crawford didn’t see much action during the first period, facing only four shots. But as the Bruins began putting together better sequences in their offensive zone, Crawford came up big for the Hawks. He continued his great playoff performance by stopping nearly every shot Boston fired at him and gave the Hawks every opportunity to win the game.

Rask was the only reason the Bruins didn’t find themselves trailing by more than one goal in the first period.

He turned away 18 shots in the first 20 minutes, only allowing one to get past him as he was screened by the Hawks’ Handzus. Rusk deserves some blame for the Hawks’ lone regulation goal. His inability to cleanly glove Patrick Kane’s wrist shot created a rebound that the Hawks kept alive in the zone.

Coaching/intangibles Hawks coach Joel Quenneville kept Brandon Bollig in the lineup over forward Viktor Stalberg and it led to another strong effort from their fourth line, which pressured the Bruins and always brought the threat of a big hit. Whatever pre-game talk Quenneville used had the Hawks playing with energy in the first period. That led to multiple opportunities to blow the game open. Bruins coach Claude Julien had his team stick with the game plan and they rewarded him by dishing out big hits. By the third period, Hawks defensemen were wary of getting plastered against the boards when trying to clear the puck.

M

arian Central and the five remaining Suburban Christian Conference schools will be joining the Chicago Catholic League for football and boys soccer beginning in 2014.

Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss:

Styf: The Fox Valley Conference certainly got its way. Marian Central is continuing to stay away. It was never in doubt, but should have been for a lot of reasons. Now, Marian Central will be in one of the best conferences in the state and they’ll keep Montini and its four consecutive football state titles in their division, allowing for several more years, at least, of resentment.

Musick: I love it. What a powerhouse conference the Chicago Catholic League is going to be. I know I caught a lot of heat from Marian parents and alums for writing that they didn’t belong in the Fox Valley Conference, but I think the Hurricanes found a great home in the CCL. Bring on two-a-days.

Styf: Um yeah, about those two-adays. You must not have gotten the memo. Those are going to look a lot different this fall too. The IHSA has now prescribed specific rules for practice time and there will only be three days where teams can practice for more than three hours. On those days, they need a two-hour break in a cool place between practices. So yeah, things are about to look way different.

Musick: I was born 15 years too soon. I remember throwing up at early morning practices, going home to eat spaghetti, throwing up at mid-afternoon practices, and returning home to hang out with my best bud, Leg Cramps. And I was a horrible player. And I played on a horrible team.

Anyway, uh, like I was saying, bring on one-a-days. I can’t wait to see how Marian Central stacks up against rivals new and old.

Styf: The post-Streveler era has a year to take shape before we see the Hurricanes in their new conference.

Let’s hope it looks good, because things certainly won’t get easier. Marian Central will have two nonconference dates still. So they could continue to play Fox Valley foes, like they will McHenry and Crystal Lake South this fall. It will be interesting to see if that continues. It should.

Musick: That would make sense.

The Hurricanes will spend enough time on the bus during CCL matchups.

Those nonconference games should be a great way to retain some geographical rivalries. But as Marian Central already knows, the world is bigger than McHenry County, and I’m looking forward to potential matchups against other CCL divisional schools such as Mount Carmel, Brother Rice and St. Rita.

Styf: You just want a shorter drive from your posh downtown loft to the games. I know what you’re up to. But you’re right, the competition will be better. It also will become more difficult to get those wins to make the playoffs. If they have a down year, we’ll all know real quick.

Musick: And if they have an up year, it will be even sweeter. Do you think I offended anyone from Marian this time around?

Styf: Always Tom. Always.

The last time the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, Kenny McCudden got up in the middle of the night inside a bed and breakfast during a golf vacation to St. Andrews in Scotland to watch Patrick Kane’s series-clinching goal against the Philadelphia Flyers.

This year, McCudden – a long time Crystal Lake-area youth hockey coach and skills coach for the Chicago Wolves – will be in the mountains in British Columbia and Aspen, Colo., taking a break from hockey. But that won’t keep him from keeping tabs on a Hawks team that he established a special bond with during the NHL lockout when McCudden oversaw private workouts for Hawks players, including captain Jonathan Toews.

Hockey is a very cultish game and it is a little different and it takes [a team] to go this far to get the front page of a newspaper, whereas the Bears can win two weeks in a row and they’ll get the front page. The hockey fan lives in a very cultish scene, and what I mean by that is that it’s a special type of fan.

The scene at the United Center is the best and it goes way back to Wayne Messmer, who was singing the national anthem around the Gulf War. But from Messmer to (Hawks anthem singer Jim) Cornelison, it’s just incredible. I think people now get there very, very early to see the warm-ups and they want to be part of that experience with the anthem...But I think the excitement level is the same (as it was in 2010).

Chicago loves a winner and that Cup is just a few years back and so they’re chomping at the bit for another one now. That other one is long forgotten in a way, but Chicago fans are behind their team in a big way and that’s something I see in my travels. It’s just not in Chicago – it’s around the nation.

This team couldn’t wait to get out of the blocks (at the start of the season) and it all started with (Jonathan) Toews. Toews prepared for practices as if the season was blossoming at that point and as if the season was already in full swing. I think when you have that kind of leadership from your captain in practices, it’s going to bleed through and for sure, I saw that. You saw it all the way down from Toews through the defensive side with guys like (Duncan) Keith involved and the way they were. They wanted to skate more and more and they were really working really hard at their game because they didn’t know what the following day or the following week was going to bring as far as the start of the season itself.

Prior to a game, the coaching staff and opposing teams are going to be all about (stopping) Kane, Toews and (Patrick) Sharp, but I believe now, in a big way, it’s about (Bryan) Bickell and all the way through (the lineup). Look at even a guy like Andrew Shaw and so [balanced scoring] takes away a little bit from what everyone is expecting out of Toews and expecting out of Kane. It’s just such a well-balanced team in every way and I think Boston has that exact same thing going. So rolling with four lines gives the coaches – whether it’s with the Bruins or with the Blackhawks – so many combinations to put out on the ice and if you don’t have that kind of depth, you won’t have success.

Riot and mounted police were called up to keep demonstrators from getting too close to the stadium as thousands of fans arrived for the inaugural match in the nation’s capital. The protesters started chanting and marching about a mile away

from the venue.

Tear gas bombs were thrown by the police and pepper spray was used to try to control the protesters as they moved near the venue. Local media said police later shot rubber bullets to disperse the crowd and at least two people were injured, including a 16-year-old student. Authorities said 15 people were arrested.

The match was not disrupted by the protest and Brazil won, 3-0, in front of a crowd of 67,423 people.

The protesters shouted against the local government and carried banners saying that too much money was being spent on the Confederations Cup

and next year’s World Cup while the majority of the population continued to struggle.

Wambach scored on a penalty kick in stoppage time after Alex Morgan was fouled inside the area.

Kristie Mewis opened the scoring in

the third minute with her first international, and Lauren Cheney scored in the seventh minute. Cho Shoyun scored for South Korea in the 26th, and Carli Lloyd made it 3-1 with a 30yard blast in the 57th minute.

LAKE IN THE HILLS TRIATHLON

Community comes together for race

By MAREK MAKOWSKI marekmakowski@shawmedia.com

AP photo

Phil Mickelson pumps his fist Saturday after sinking a putt for par on the sixth hole during the third round of the U.S. Open in Ardmore, Pa.

When Steve Van Horn discovered there would be a local triathlon, he was ecstatic.

“Trudy Wakeman I’ve known for years,” he said, “and when she said that the park district in Lake in the Hills will have a triathlon, I said, ‘That sounds great! I really want to support this.’”

That was in 2007, when the annual triathlon first began, according to Wakeman, who organizes the event. Van Horn loved it so much that when he couldn’t participate one year because of an injury, he volunteered instead.

“I’ve competed in it since its inception,” he said. “I think it’s a great race.”

Van Horn was so excited because he enters triathlons competitively. The 62-yearold strives for winning his age division, which he’s done a handful of times. This fall,

7th annual LITH Triathlon SUNDAY Start time: 6:30 a.m.

Spectator parking: Ryder Park, 1216 Crystal Lake Road Swim start: Indian Trail Beach Run start: Ken Carpenter Park Bike start: Ken Carpenter Park Finish line: Ken Carpenter Park, 1200 Heartland Gate MAPS: www.lith.org/pdf/Recreation/ triathlon/MainMap.pdf www.lith.org/pdf/Recreation/ triathlon/BikeMap.pdf www.lith.org/pdf/Recreation/ triathlon/RunMap.pdf he’ll be competing in the Half Ironman World Championship in Las Vegas.

“I compete in triathlons across the country,” he said.

“During a typical season I’ll do four, give or take.”

The first triathlon of Van

Horn’s season is the LITH Triathlon, which takes place Sunday. Although it is already in its seventh installment, the triathlon still holds true to its original goal.

“It’s geared toward beginners,” Wakeman said.

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a place for seasoned triathletes.

“For people who want to take up triathlons, this is the place to start,” Van Horn said. “It’s low-key that any athlete can compete in, but it turns out it’s as good as it gets [competition-wise].”

The triathlon is comprised of a half-mile swim, a 15.5mile bike, and a 4-mile run. It makes good use of Lake in the Hills’ residential streets and lake, Wakeman said.

“It’s good for the community,” the race director said, “and it brings people to Lake in the Hills.”

Jenny Harrison, a 42-yearold West Dundee resident,

has been competing in triathlons since 1995. Over the years, she has noticed the increasing number of participants/spectators, some of whom come because of its date.

“It’s on Father’s Day,” she said, “so a lot of men like to do it for Father’s Day and bring their families to the finish line and celebrate the achievement.”

Harrison also has observed the well-run, closeknit event. She praises Wakeman’s organization of the event and its safety, with police officers organizing traffic during the biking portion.

Harrison thinks that kind of culture has allowed the LITH Triathlon to grow into something much greater than anyone could have expected.

“People bring their parents and their grandparents and their kids,” Harrison said. “It’s turned into a nice family event.”

U.S. OPEN

Major chance for Mickelson Lefty in line for first Open title

By DOUG FERGUSON

Leaderboard

The Associated Press ARDMORE, Pa. – Phil Mickelson began his week with a flight back-and-forth across the country. Even longer might be the 18 holes that now stand between him and that U.S. Open title he has been chasing his entire career.

And he’s never had a better opportunity than this one.

Despite a bogey on the final hole of a taxing Saturday afternoon, Mickelson was the sole survivor to par at Merion with an even-par 70 that gave him a one-shot lead over Hunter Mahan, Charl Schwartzel and Steve Stricker going into the last round.

It’s the first time Mickelson has held the outright lead through 54 holes in the U.S. Open, and the timing could be right.

Mickelson celebrates his 43rd birthday Sunday – on Father’s Day, no less. He left Merion on Monday and didn’t return until three hours before his tee time Thursday so he could attend the eighth-grade graduation of his oldest daughter.

“It’s got the makings to be something special,” Mickelson said. “But I still have to go out and perform, and play some of my best golf.”

Mickelson, who already has a record five silver medals for being runner-up at this demanding major, was at 1-under-par 209.

And the fun is just getting started.

“It’s a hard challenge, but it’s a lot of fun,” Mickelson said. “Every shot requires such great focus because a

Third round a-amateur Phil Mickelson Hunter Mahan Charl Schwartzel Steve Stricker Justin Rose Luke Donald Billy Horschel Jason Day Rickie Fowler a-Michael Kim

penalty can bite you quickly. I can’t wait to get back and playing. I feel good ball-striking, I feel good on the greens. I think it’s going to take an under-par round tomorrow.”

Saturday was more about weeding out the pretenders for this U.S. Open – and one of them turned out to be Tiger Woods. He started out just four shots out of the lead, and made a bending, 12-foot birdie putt on the opening hole. It never got any better for the world’s No. 1 player. He made seven bogeys the rest of the way and didn’t add another birdie, matching his worst U.S. Open score as a pro with a 6-over 76.

Woods was 10 shots behind.

“It certainly is frustrating,” said Woods, who has been stuck on 14 majors since winning the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. “I’m playing well enough to do it, and unfortunately just haven’t gotten it done.”

The final hour might have been a sneak preview for Sunday. At one point, there were five players under par, and suddenly there was only Mickelson.

Tiger ties his worst Open round as pro

By JIM LITKE The Associated Press ARDMORE, Pa. – Tiger Woods made birdie at the first hole, only to watch his day go racing downhill from there.

By the time it was over, Woods skidded to seven bogeys and a 6-over-par 76 Saturday, tumbling down the leaderboard and matching his worst round as a pro at the U.S. Open.

That left him 10 strokes behind third-round leader Phil Mickelson, the only player under par at the short but devilishly tough Merion Golf Club.

Despite leading the PGA Tour in putting in recent weeks, Woods needed 36 putts on the severely undulating greens. He blamed his inability to gauge the speed of those baffling putting surfaces for his three days of uneven play.

“It’s certainly frustrating

because I was feeling like I was playing well this week and I just didn’t make the putts I needed to make,” he said afterward.

“The first two days, I had, like, three 3-putts and I was four shots off the lead, and I missed a boatload of putts within 10 feet. So I really wasn’t that far off. If I clean up the round and don’t 3-putt, I’m one shot back starting out today. ...” Woods added.

“Basically, I just didn’t have the speed right this week and it certainly showed.”

Woods’ toughest stretch came at Nos. 3-6, where he made three bogeys in a fourhole stretch. He blamed the last of those for setting the negative tone that hung over his round like the storm clouds that rolled over Merion throughout Thursday’s opening round.

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES ROUNDUP

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

MLB ROUNDUP

DeNato pitches Cobb hit by line drive in Rays’ win Indiana to victory The ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS OMAHA, Neb. – Joey DeNato threw a four-hitter and Indiana looked right at home in beating Louisville 2-0 on Saturday night in the Hoosiers’ first appearance in the College World Series.

The Hoosiers manufactured their runs early, and DeNato (10-2) made them stand up in a masterful performance in front of a TD Ameritrade Park-record crowd of 27,122.

Indiana (49-18) has beaten the Cardinals (51-13) in three of four meetings, shutting them out twice. The Hoosiers will play Monday against Mississippi State, and the Cardinals will face Oregon State in an elimination game.

DeNato allowed three singles and a double in his second complete game. He struck out eight and walked three.

Cody Green (10-4) took the loss.

Indiana is the first Big Ten team in the CWS since Michigan in 1984 and gave the conference its first win in Omaha since the Wolverines beat Stanford in 1983.

MSU 5, Oregon State 4: At Omaha, Neb., Mississippi State’s Wes Rea went to bat in the eighth inning expecting to

see a changeup, and Oregon State pitcher Matt Boyd didn’t disappoint him.

Rea drove the ball into right-center for a two-run double that gave the Bulldogs the lead, and closer Jonathan Holder worked out of trouble twice to secure a 5-4 victory in the opening game of the College World Series.

“I’m fortunate enough I’ve been up at the plate in these situations and have been able to get it done,” Rea said. “It’s something I take a lot of pride in when there are runners in scoring position.”

The Bulldogs (49-18) advanced to a Monday game against Indiana or Louisville.

The Beavers (50-12), the No. 3 national seed, are one loss from elimination.

There still were some anxious moments for the Bulldogs after Rea’s big hit.

Oregon State had two runners on base with one out in the eighth, but Holder got a flyout and struck out pinch-hitter Joey Jansen.

The Beavers had two runners on base with one out again in the ninth after Holder pitched carefully to Michael Conforto and walked him. It wasn’t bad strategy. Conforto had reached base four times.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Tampa Bay right-hander Alex Cobb was taken off the field on a stretcher after he was hit on the right ear by a liner off the bat of Kansas City’s Eric Hosmer in the fifth inning of the Rays’ 5-3 win over the Royals on Saturday.

Cobb put a hand on his head after being struck. Trainers from both teams and other medical staff immediately ran onto the field. Cobb could be seen kicking his legs while being examined on the mound.

Players on both teams had hands on their heads as a stunned silence overtook Tropicana Field after the crowd gasped when Cobb was struck.

Rays spokesman Rick Vaughn said all tests were normal and that Cobb suffered a mild concussion. Cobb was taken to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, where he will spent the night.

It came a month after Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ was also struck by a liner against the Rays and suffered a skull fracture. Happ was discharged from an area hospital the following day.

The sound of the ball striking Cobb – which sounded like a bat hitting a ball – could be heard in the press box.

CUBS 5, METS 2

NEW YORK – Darwin Barney’s soft single fell into right field and Scott Feldman took off running, then rounded second and – wait, was he trying for third?

“I didn’t know what I was doing, actually,” the Cubs pitcher said. “I kind of just decided to go I guess.”

Like just about everything else Feldman did against the Mets on Saturday, it worked out. Feldman allowed two hits in seven innings, and the Cubs beat the Mets, 5-2.

Feldman hit a two-run single in the fourth, setting up his slow-motion scamper on the bases. He rounded second and headed for third, drawing a throw that seemed as if it had a chance to get him.

Of course, it didn’t. He slid in – headfirst – and beat the throw and David Wright’s tag.

“Don’t want to make the third out at third, so I just tried to do everything I could to just sneak my hand in there,” Feldman said.

Said Wright: “I think I got him pretty good on the arm with my spike.”

Feldman (6-5) got it done on the mound, too. He struck out six, and Starlin Castro hit a two-run double to left in the Cubs’ three-run eighth.

Kevin Gregg got the last three outs for his ninth straight save.

The Cubs stranded 10 runners in the first seven innings

Patients included in the trial will receive regular health checks and medical testing, access to free trial medication and blood glucose testing equipment as well as compensation for their time and travel.

before breaking it open in the eighth. Scott Rice allowed a hit and a walk around a sacrifice, then Brandon Lyon came on and gave up a single to load the bases before walking Cody Ransom to force in a run. Castro then had his hit, which could have scored three runs if it hadn’t bounced over the wall.

“I think we’re just getting better swings in fastball counts, in hitters counts,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. “We’re taking advantage of situations now that we haven’t for a long piece of the season.”

The Cubs beat the Mets for the second day in a row, after losing five of seven before getting to Queens.

The Mets got a run back in the bottom of the eighth on Jordany Valdespin’s single off Carlos Villanueva, but Wright struck out with runners on second and third and fans streamed for the exits.

“In the eighth inning, there was silence in the dugout and the feeling was like ‘Here we go again,” Mets manager Terry Collins said.

“Losing is as big of a habit as winning.”

Next for the Sox

The Associated Press HOUSTON – Jason Castro and Chris Carter homered in the fourth inning to give Houston the lead, and the Astros held on for their third straight win, 4-3 over the White Sox on Saturday night.

The game was tied, 1-1, when Castro launched a solo homer into the bullpen in right-center to start the fourth inning. Carter’s oneout homer clanged off the foul pole in left field to extend the lead to 3-1 and leave starter John Danks (1-3) shaking his head. It was the team-leading 14th homer for Carter, who also leads the Astros with 36 RBIs. Brandon Barnes drove in a run with a double in the fifth inning to make it 4-1.

Adam Dunn hit his 18th homer to start the Sox’s seventh, and Gordon Beckham’s ground-rule double later in the inning made it 4-3.

Harrell (5-7) allowed seven hits and three runs with a season-high seven strikeouts in 62/3 innings.

Sox at Houston, 1:10 p.m.

Danks yielded five hits and four runs in six-plus innings.

The Sox had runners at the corners with two outs in the eighth inning, but pinch-hitter Jeff Keppinger grounded into a force out to end the threat.

Jose Veras pitched a scoreless ninth for his 13th save. He allowed a walk to start the ninth, but picked off pinch-runner Jordan Danks at second to end the game.

The Sox have dropped 11 of their past 12 on the road.

Alexei Ramirez singled with one out in the first and stole second base. The Sox took a 1-0 lead on a two-out RBI single by Paul Konerko.

Harrell settled down after that, retiring the next 11 batters he faced.

INDYCAR: MILWAUKEE INDYFEST

Hunter-Reay, Andretti Autosport win at Milwaukee again

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press WEST ALLIS, Wis. – Ryan Hunter-Reay continued Andretti Autosport’s domination at the Milwaukee Mile, winning the IndyCar event Saturday for the second year in a row.

Hunter-Reay became the first driver to win back-toback races at the Mile since Tony Kanaan in 2006 and 2007 when he was driving for – you guessed it, Andretti.

Andretti drivers have won five of the past nine races at the mile oval and nearly had a

perfect day Saturday in a Milwaukee IndyFest race that is promoted by Michael Andretti’s marketing company. Hunter-Reay got the win, E.J. Viso finished fourth and James Hinchcliffe was fifth.

The only blemish was pole-sitter Marco Andretti, who led the first 62 laps before his day fell apart with a mechanical issue.

For Hunter-Reay, it was the second win of the season for the defending IndyCar Series champion. This one came at the site of the track he used to jumpstart last year’s title run – Hunter-Reay reeled off three

consecutive wins starting with Milwaukee last season to climb into the championship race.

This year, though, he got to celebrate an early Father’s Day gift with son, Ryden.

“Those last few laps I was thinking, ‘Man, I’ve got to do this for him,’ ” Hunter-Reay said. “It’s so special, he’s 6 months old, getting to have my little guy here in Victory Lane is the best Father’s Day gift.”

IndyCar Series points leader Helio Castroneves was second and followed by Penske Racing teammate Will Power as Chevrolet swept the podium. It was the first podium fin-

ish this season for Power, who hasn’t won a race since Brazil last year.

He made a bold attempt to pass Castroneves for second in the closing laps before cautiously backing off a touch.

Power said after the race he had to consider the big picture and that his teammate is the current points leader while racing for position.

Scott Dixon was sixth in the highest finishing Honda and was followed by Takuma Sato, who dominated the early secAP photo tion of the race but was shuffled out of contention because Ryan Hunter-Reay leads a pack of cars Saturday on his way to winning of pit cycles. the Milwaukee IndyFest at the Milwaukee Mile in West Allis, Wis.

Keselowski angers team owners

Driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. signs autographs for fans Friday before a practice session for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup series race at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP: QUICKEN LOANS 400, NOON SUNDAY, TNT

Good memories abound for Junior at Michigan Earnhardt snapped losing streak at track last year

By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press BROOKLYN, Mich. – A year ago, Dale Earnhardt Jr. finally snapped his long losing streak.

He left Michigan International Speedway with hopes of more victories to come – maybe even a Sprint Cup championship.

He hasn’t won since.

“We want to win more races. We want to win numerous races and multiple races in a season,” Earnhardt said. “We want that to be the norm. We want that to be what is expected. When we first started working together we were trying to figure out how to get a 15th-place combination into the top 10 and we were happy when we did.

“Now when we run in the top 10 it’s just another weekend – and what do we have to do to win?”

Whenever NASCAR’s top series comes to Michigan, Earnhardt is at the center of attention. He won at MIS last June after 143 races without a victory. His most recent win before that was also at Michigan in 2008, so the Sprint Cup’s

twice-yearly visits to the Irish Hills always seem to present an opportunity for Earnhardt and his No. 88 Chevrolet.

Earnhardt’s victory last year wasn’t a shock. He’d been running well for a while, working his way back among NASCAR’s elite drivers, so after a convincing performance at MIS, stock-car racing’s most popular driver could credibly eye a run at a series championship.

But concussion problems derailed his chances in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, and although he began 2013 with five straight top-10 finishes and briefly led the points standings, he’s slipped to fourth since then.

Earnhardt took a step in the right direction with a thirdplace showing at Pocono last weekend, but the pressure is mounting for him to take advantage of a return to Michigan.

“It’s just a simple racetrack that has not got a lot of challenges. It’s very easily laid out and understandable for a driver. It really comes down to just getting your car to work,”

Earnhardt said. “There are no bumps or bad transitions, there is nothing really that you are out there fighting or worried about or dreading. It’s just a simple racetrack and very wide.”

Jimmie Johnson has never won a Cup race at MIS, but he enters Sunday’s Quicken Loans 400 leading the standings by 51 points over Carl Edwards. Johnson has three victories already this year, and another spot in the Chase looks like a formality.

“A lot can still go wrong if you hit a stretch of bad races.

I feel like our wins will lock us in the Chase, but my mind is still on running well and getting ready for the Chase,” Johnson said. “I really am shocked that I’m so far out ahead of everybody.”

Edwards won the pole for Sunday’s race. Earnhardt qualified 12th, and defending Cup champion Brad Keselowski was 16th, one spot ahead of Johnson.

These two weeks – Pocono followed by Michigan – worked out well for Earnhardt last year, and he’d love a repeat.

975 Nimco Dr., Unit M - Crystal Lake, IL

WEST ALLIS, Wis. – Roger Penske refuted Brad Keselowski’s claim that some of their employees were poached by other NASCAR teams.

Penske said Saturday “I think Brad had some misinformation,” when the defending Sprint Cup champion accused Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing of luring away Penske employees in an effort to steal information.

Keselowski’s comments led to a stern rebuke from Rick Hendrick and Joe Gibbs, as both team owners blasted the driver for spreading false information.

“We didn’t lose any em-

ployees who were under contract or who weren’t free to go elsewhere as part of our engine reorganization,” Penske said before the IndyCar race at the Milwaukee Mile.

Keselowski was at Ford headquarters in Dearborn, Mich., on Thursday, when he said his Penske Racing team has been reluctant to share information with Roush Fenway Racing on their Ford cars.

“What keeps it from going too far is the fact Hendrick and [Joe Gibbs Racing has] this nasty little habit of going to our teams and outbidding different people and taking those employees and stealing our information,” Keselowski said, according to ESPN.com.

Keselowski didn’t elaborate when asked about his comments Friday.

“We were just talking about Ford and specifically the relationship between Penske and Roush, and how strong it was,” Keselowski said. “I just commented on, there will always be limitations to our relationships company to company because of those transactions.”

Hendrick was first to respond, admitting he hired a backup Penske tire changer who was no longer under contract, a mechanic from the Nationwide Series program and a handful of engine shop employees. He also said Penske Racing hired a Hendrick tire changer.

NASCAR NATIONWIDE: ALLIANCE TRUCK PARTS 250

Smith holds off Larson, beats rain

By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press BROOKLYN, Mich. – The rain drops splashed down on the pavement at Michigan International Speedway about an hour after Regan Smith’s victory Saturday.

Smith won the Nationwide Series Alliance Truck Parts 250, holding off Kyle Larson in the final 10 laps and more than doubling his lead in the points standings. He took the lead with 13 laps remaining when Parker Kligerman had to pit.

Kligerman led for 13 laps to-

ward the end, but the rain that might have helped him didn’t arrive in time.

“We played it perfectly for that situation,” Kligerman said. “There was debris everywhere the last 20 laps. Of course, no one threw a caution, so we ran out of fuel.”

NBA FINALS: GAME 5, MIAMI AT SAN ANTONIO, 7 P.M. SUNDAY, ABC

BROOKLYN NETS

Heat know they need to snap trend

Coach Kidd expected to succeed with Nets

By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO – It was the compelling story of the NBA regular season, the Miami Heat making their run at the league-record mark of 33 consecutive victories.

They fell six games short.

These days, the Heat are looking for another streak.

The most modest of all possible winning streaks, actually. And if they fall short again, their time as NBA champions is a few days away from coming to an end.

Miami has alternated wins and losses in each of its last 11 games, and if that trend continues, the Heat won’t beat the San Antonio Spurs in these NBA Finals. Somewhere along the way, the Heat will have to win two in a row to keep their crown, and get a crack at pulling off that common-yet-crucial feat on Sunday night when the Spurs host Game 5 of a title series that’s knotted at two games apiece.

“If we don’t do two, we won’t win a championship. I wasn’t that smart in school, but I do know that,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said Saturday. “The numbers don’t add up. We have to find a way to put a string together. And hopefully our mentality and our play in Game 4 can take over to the next game or into the game after that. I think this team, we’ve always responded to a challenge, and right now this is our challenge.”

The Heat won Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against Indiana, lost Game 2 of that series and the winone, lose-one trend has continued for 11 games. Miami won Game 4 at San Antonio on Thursday night, meaning if this form keeps holding, it’ll be the Spurs’ turn to prevail Sunday.

At some point, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said, the cycle has to be broken.

“Enough is enough,” Spoel-

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade loosens up during practice Saturday in San Antonio. The Heat take on the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Sunday, with the best-of-seven series even at 2-2. stra said.

A couple months ago, the mere notion of the Heat having trouble stringing even two straight wins together would have seemed ludicrous. They won 27 straight games during the regular season. They won 12 straight in April. They had a pair of stand-alone sixgame winning streaks in November and December, and a five-game run earlier in these playoffs.

But the Pacers took them to the limit in the East finals, and the Spurs struck first by taking Game 1 of the championship series. The last time Miami won consecutive games in the same playoff series was a month ago, the final two games of the second-round matchup against the Bulls.

“It’s not as if we have never won two in a row. So our guys understand what’s at hand and what’s at stake right now,” Spoelstra said Saturday.

“Look, there’s been so much talk about it, but you do have to give credit to the competition both ways. When you get

to this level, it’s tough to win two games in a row against an equal opponent. We want to make sure that we’re continuing to get better, and hopefully tomorrow we can have our best game of the series.”

Worst-case scenario for Miami in Game 5: Lose, and head back to South Florida trailing in the series but with homecourt advantage.

Such is the quirk of the 2-3-2 hosting format in the NBA Finals, as opposed to the 2-2-1-1-1 system employed in all other rounds of the playoffs. If the Heat win every game in Miami for the remainder of the season, then a second straight title is there.

It’s a luxury that the Heat didn’t want to exactly think much about on Saturday.

“We’re not worried about that,” Heat forward Udonis Haslem said. “One game at a time. We’re not thinking about Miami. We’re thinking about the next game in San Antonio and that’s all we’re focused on.”

Haslem will likely come

off the bench for the second straight game, with Miami expected to use its same opening lineup from Game 4, with Mike Miller starting to give the Heat an extra shooter who can help create more space for everyone else. That move by Spoelstra led to some mildly comical defensive assignments by the Spurs, like having center Tiago Splitter open the game guarding Wade, a short-lived experiment.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was asked Saturday if he may adjust his lineup to address Miami’s move.

“I’d hate to be trite and say anything is possible,” Popovich said. “Your question demands my triteness.”

There is a certain symmetry in the to-do list for the Heat: Win two games in a row, and winning two titles in a row would figure to follow. Then again, just because they’re coming off a double-digit win on San Antonio’s floor in Game 4, that doesn’t mean Sunday will be anything but a huge test.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Former teammates, players and a former NBA assistant coach think the credibility a Hall of Fame career brings – and familiarity with today’s players – will help Jason Kidd successfully transition into coaching.

Kidd was named the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, less than two weeks after he ended a 19year career as a point guard that included an NBA championship and two tours as a leader on the U.S. Olympic team. He’s also No. 2 in career assists and steals in NBA history.

“He’s going to have incredible credibility with his players, which is huge,” said Brendan Suhr, a longtime NBA assistant coach under Chuck Daly, Hubie Brown and Lenny Wilkens.

Even the accountability as the man in charge won’t be a problem, said Suhr, who is attending the National Basketball Players Association’s Top 100 camp at the University of Virginia and teaching players how to start coaching careers.

“He’ll be fine. He’s han-

dled accountability before,” Suhr said, adding that one of Kidd’s main priorities needs to be hiring experienced assistants to “fill in the gaps that you don’t have.”

Denver point guard Andre Miller said he was initially surprised when he heard Kidd was in the running for the Nets’ job so soon after announcing his retirement, but the more he thought about it, the more sense it seemed to make.

“When I first heard that they were considering it, I was like, ‘Wow, that’s respect,’” Miller said at the camp. “He’s a hall of famer in everybody’s mind and he’s accomplished everything that you can accomplish as a point guard, as a person, in life and as a teammate.

When you have that type of respect of your peers, and of management, coaches, you know the sky’s the limit.

“You know that he knows how to play basketball and he knows what it takes, so it surprised me at first, but what better player to make that transition right away to show, ‘I can do this’ by the things that he’s done in his career.’ It’s good for the guys in that situation and learn from a guy like that.”

Tie one on for Father’s Day Americans were planning to spend a little bit more on dad this Father’s Day. According to the National Retail Federation’s 2013 Father’s Day spending survey, the average person will shell out $119 on dad’s gifts this year, up from $117 last year. Total spending for Father’s Day is expected to reach $13.3 billion.

Still, dads come up short compared to Mother’s Day spending.

Consumers spent an average of $168 on mom for her special day last month, up 11 percent from last year’s $152. Total spending was expected to reach $20.7 billion.

Ask a typical dad what he wants for Father’s Day and he’s likely to say, “Oh, nothing.”

“Never expecting more than a nice day out or a special family dinner, dads are usually easy to shop for,” said National Retail Federation President and CEO Matthew Shay.

There were an estimated 70.1 million fathers across the nation in 2008, the most recent year for which census data are available. The number of fathers who were part of married-couple families with children younger than 18 in 2012 was 24.4 million. There were 1.96 million single fathers in 2012; 16 percent of single parents were men.

Consumers will mostly stick to the traditional gifts for dad, but some will splurge on clothing, electronic items, and special outings.

According to the NRF survey, those celebrating Father’s Day will spend $2.5 billion on a special outing, such as a sporting event or dinner, $1.7 billion on a new electronic gadget, such as a tablet or GPS system, and $1.8 billion on clothing. Dad also can expect plenty of gift cards; families will shell out $1.8 billion on the perfect practical gift. Others will splurge on home improvement and gardening tools ($755 million), sporting goods ($710 million), personal care items ($707 million), and even automotive accessories ($592 million).

Though most will buy for “dad,” Americans will celebrate the other men in their life as well; 53 percent will buy gifts for their father or stepfather, and 29 percent will shop for something nice for their husband.

Additionally, 9.7 percent will buy a gift for their son, 4.9 percent will look for something for their grandfather and 6.4 percent will shop for their brother.

Department stores remain the preferred shopping location for gift buyers: 40.6 percent will look for dad’s gift there. Others will shop at discount stores (31.5 percent), specialty stores including greeting card/gift and electronics stores (27.3 percent), and specialty clothing stores (9.9 percent). Online retailers will see a slight increase in traffic this year; 29.8 percent will shop online, up from 28.4 percent last year.

In the end, success and happiness for their children is all that dads really want for Father’s Day. But a new tie would be nice, too.

Happy Father’s Day.

Butcher on the Block owner Tom Yucuis assists a customer. Yucuis opened the Lake in the Hills shop in 2000.

A cut above Mom-and-pop butcher shops continue to thrive

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com The ladies behind the counter at Kalck’s Butcher Shop in Crystal Lake would love to talk, but it’s lunch rush and customers are stocking up for Father’s Day. Customers stream into Butcher on the Block in Lake in the Hills doing the same, seeking grilling meats and deli sandwiches.

And when owner Tom Yucuis isn’t working at his shop, he’s expanding the market for his gourmet bratwurst and sausages, which now can be found in 14 states.

Echoing a national trend, local mom-and-pop butcher shops are doing brisk business, even as consumers are still a bit cautious about opening their wallets. Owners attribute it to a loyal and growing client base concerned about price and quality.

“In a lot of aspects, our products costs less than those bigger chain stores and are of a better quality, and I think people are realizing that,” said Wendy Kotlowski, daughter of Kalck’s owners Barb and Ken Kalck.

About 9 percent of the 130,720 people the Bureau of Labor Statistics identify as butchers and meat cutters work for “specialty food stores,” according to May 2012 data, the most recent available. But for the most part, the numbers show that the number of specialty butchers has increased in

the years during and after the Great Recession.

But that’s not to say there weren’t scary moments when the economy slumped.

Butcher on the Block, 4660 W. Algonquin Road, which Yucuis founded in 2000, was in the middle of starting a new venture to distribute its gourmet brats and sausages when the recession hit – getting government inspection approval, printing mandated nutrition labels, and other product development expenses.

“It was almost like, what do we do? We’re far into this. You can’t just stop when you’re threequarters pregnant with it – we decided to move forward,” Yucuis said.

The gamble paid off.

Besides store shelves and other vendors, you can buy one of their brats at Busch Stadium in St. Louis and Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, and Yucuis said he is close to getting foreign distribution.

Besides meats and deli sandwiches, Kalck’s is famous for its homemade salads, particularly its chicken salad, Kotlowski said.

Its most popular fare include freshly-ground beef and homemade cakes and cookies. Kotlowski said she would like to expand the bakery aspect of Kalck’s, 71 E. Woodstock St. “Right now [business] is really up. I feel that it’s our customer service and our product,” Kotlowski said.

Customer service is a very important aspect, said

McHENRY – In an effort to meet the non-credit computer training needs of McHenry County residents, McHenry County College’s Workforce Training Program offers the Silver Series – a hands-on computer training for older adults, dislocated workers and others with little to no previous computer experience.

The Silver Series consists of two separate courses: Welcome to the World of Computers and Welcome to Microsoft Office 2010. The coursework provides an introduction for beginners, giving personal life examples by providing a stepby-step approach that ensures student success.

Welcome to the World of Computers is a five-session course scheduled for 8 a.m. to noon Wednesdays, July 10 through Aug. 7. Participants will learn how to use computers, the Windows operating system, the Internet, email basics, and word processing using Microsoft Word 2010.

The fee for the World of Computers is $325. This course will be repeated from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m on Wednesdays, Aug. 14 through Sept. 11.

Welcome to Microsoft Office 2010 will be offered from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday evenings, June 19 through July 24; and from 8 a.m. to noon Wednesdays. Aug. 14 through Sept. 11. Fee is $325.

These courses will be held at McHenry County College Shah Center, 4100 W. Shamrock Lane, McHenry. To register, call 815-455-8588. For more information, contact the center at 815-455-8593.

Steve Trebes and John Spaw grind beef which will later be pressed into hamburger patties at Butcher on the Block in Lake in the Hills.

Lora Scholer, who since 2010 has owned Jones Country Meats in Woodstock, which like the other two carry fare such as popular ground beef and gourmet brats. During the coldweather months, the business, which also features an on-site smokehouse at 204 N. Seminary Ave., caters to hunters by processing their deer, for a fee.

“We like to think of our customers as family. There are quite a few regulars where we know their family and they know ours,” Scholer said.

All three butchers also attributed their sales to a growing interest by healthconscious consumers to know where their food comes from.

“Now the biggest buzzwords are injection-free, grass-fed. We get those questions all day, every single day,” Yucuis said.

“The customers are looking for health and they’re

looking for trust. They keep coming back because, once they try our stuff, they don’t go back to the big-box store.”

Small butcher shops also tend to be family affairs. Kotlowski and her sister, Melanie Roberts, run Kalck’s day-to-day operations. Yucuis employs his wife and two daughters – his younger daughter, Brynn, is vice president of Butcher on the Block Gourmet Bratwurst and Sausages.

Kalck’s has been at its downtown Crystal Lake site for 38 years, and the daughters have no intention of stopping any time soon. But it may not end up being passed down to a third generation. The only grandchild for the Kalck’s is Kotlowski’s son, and she has bigger plans for him that include college.

“I would prefer my son to be a doctor,” she said with a laugh.

Marketing Machine creates product customers can’t resist When I was 8 years old (Anne), a wonderful thing happened! My family visited relatives in Erie, Pa., where my uncle worked as an executive for Marx Toys. I remember walking into the toy store back room that doubled as my cousin’s bedroom.

Bob: So, what was the going rate for product testers in those days?

Anne: Anyway…at the end of the visit, my uncle brought out some brand new toys still in packaging.

My gift was a most spectacular pinball machine that kept me entertained for years. I loved sending those little silver balls into the maze of whirring spinning gears and frantically manipulating the flippers for more points. It was primarily a game of skill: the more you played, the better you got. I think that’s where our idea for “The Marketing Machine” was born.

We’ve been studying and practicing marketing for at least a couple of decades. The Marketing Machine is a virtual visual aid that guides us

as we ask questions and make decisions. Imagine a complex-looking machine. As you approach it, you see a small slot in the top. The opening is exactly the size of a dime. You decide to play. As your dime goes into play, you hear the whirring and spinning as the machine goes into motion. You learn which buttons and knobs help the dime’s progress.

A few minutes later, a quarter drops into a tray on the side! This dependable machine delivers a quarter for your dime over and over again, given attention to its workings and changes in the environment.

When we work on a marketing project, we imagine building a Marketing Machine. What do we need to put in place in order to get a good level of return on investment? What will give us the highest level of consistency while pointing us toward areas for further improvement? As we build the machine, we can test our current assumptions by making small investments and carefully watching the results. But the most important

MARKETING Bob Sandidge & Anne Ward part occurs at the very beginning, with asking questions and making assumptions to test.

We have two major areas of concentration: the market and the invitation, the communications that encourage a potential customer to engage with the product.

• The market: Who is your ideal customer? Take time to identify them. Some companies even imagine one person or a small group, give them a name, a personality, and a lifestyle. Then they “see” how the product fits into their lives. The goal is for your ideal customer to self-select when they become aware of your offer. They’ll be more likely to do that when they see themselves in your invitation.

Don’t fear that your market will be limited by identifying an ideal

customer. The work you put into getting to know them helps you craft a more compelling, unique message.

That alone will attract more people to your offer. Some say that Steve Jobs never listened to his customers. We believe that he knew his market intimately. He knew how he wanted to interact with technology and he knew from experience that there were many who felt the same way. When he designed to his exacting requirements, he rarely let his ideal customers down. Designing for the few, Apple attracted the many.

• The invitation: How do you let your ideal customer know you’ve got something he will want to experience? Now you look back at the product through the eyes of your customer. Does the product solve a problem or create an opportunity?

It’s usually easier for potential customers to self-select when your communications help them see their problem clearly and recognize the solution your product offers. However, opportunity products can also

Four years ago, no one knew to want an iPad, a product that not only became a fast winner but created an entire tablet market. And all it took was Steve Jobs, a multimillion-dollar ad budget, and a company history of consistent innovation. Take comfort: wherever you are in your company’s growth, Steve Jobs was at that same place at least twice.

At General RV Center in order to continue our growth, in spite of the exit ramp construction, we have done a number of things to go after business. Not only have we lowered prices and added inventory, we have reached out to local campgrounds, festivals and local businesses to help them in any way we can. Instead of scaling back inventory, we have done the opposite; we have bought more RVs from our suppliers, which gives us volume discounts that we can pass along to our customers. Our corporate office has also talked to the RV manufacturers and gotten additional incentives due to the construction, which we can also pass on to our customers. All of that, plus a shortage of trade-ins at our other Midwest locations, has created the perfect storm for anyone in the market for

Join our Return and Earn Program and save on gas. We thank the community that our family has been part of for several generations.

For more information, call 847-669-9171.

At Culver’s of Huntley the construction won’t stop this dedicated staff. Instead, we have made sure to look at all the opportunities to give more specials and coupons to thank our loyal customers. In trying to give back to those in need, we have been working with nonprofit organizations to help them with their fundraisers and to show our support for this community.

Say No to doing the dishes and say Yes to Culver’s of Huntley.

This change has been made due to the heavy construction at the Interchange and the roadwork taking place on Freeman Road. Safety first! *** Call the Huntley chamber to find out how you could save $25 in the month of June: 847-669-0166 or visit www.huntleychamber.org.

Sector rotation risky business

By STEVE GARMHAUSEN For The Associated Press Signs of a recovering economy are all around, from modest job creation to a strengthening housing market and rising consumer confidence.

To average folks, these indicators are good news on a gut level and a pocketbook level. But to devotees of what’s known as sector rotation, they may be signals to start buying and selling.

Sector rotation is a simple and compelling idea: Because certain business sectors tend to profit more in specific stages of an economic cycle, jumping in and out of those sectors at the right time can put an investor one-up on the market. Think of a surfer positioning himself to catch one righteous wave after another.

In sector rotation, investors make specific bets on which segments of the economy will thrive – or at least will not implode. During a recession, investors make a beeline for utility stocks. Households and businesses need to keep the lights on even when times are tough, after all. In a bustling economy, luxury retailers often thrive as confident consumers open their wallets to buy jewelry or expensive handbags.

Depending on the state of the economy and business trends, sector rotators move their money between the defensive areas – consumer staples, utilities and health care – and into more cyclical sectors.

The practice is perilous.

It’s difficult to predict if and when that part of the economy will make its move. Doit-yourself investors tend to be a step or two behind sophisticated professionals, who have access to better information. By the time they move their money into a sector, the early birds may have bid up prices.

Resenting the family loan Dear Dave, I borrowed $30,000 from my aunt to buy a condo eight years ago. We had a deal that she would get her money back, plus a piece of the profits, when it sold. If there were no profits, she would get back her original $30,000.

Recently the condo sold and I lost the money I put into it, plus my aunt’s money as well. I make good money and don’t have any other debt, but I’m a little resentful now that she wants me to pay her back. Do you have any suggestions?

– Christine

Dear Christine, I don’t want to be mean, but you have no right to be resentful toward your aunt.

This is the deal you signed up for, and she did nothing wrong. Wanting her money back now isn’t greedy or malicious on her part, and it’s definitely not worth putting a family relationship at risk.

If you were barely scraping by, I might suggest that you sit down and talk with her over a cup of coffee, explain the situation and ask her to forgive the debt.

Right now, the little girl part

Dave Says Dave Ramsey of you is whining, “Oh, come on. Just let me go!” But the grown-up Christine knows better. That part of you is whispering, “You know what to do…”

Pay her back as quickly as possible, and get this bad deal behind you for good.

You said you make good money, so just take care of your responsibility. It’ll hurt some, but it’s better than taking a chance on ruining the relationship with a very generous and loving aunt.

– Dave

Dear Dave, I’m working on my debt snowball, and I’m trying to settle with a pushy collector.

I don’t have the $9,000 I owe, but I have $3,000 I’d like to offer as a settlement. Recently the collector has started asking for a lot of information I don’t feel comfortable providing. What should I do?

– Daniel

Dear Daniel, Lots of times in these

kinds of situations collectors are trying to gather up as much information as possible in order to sue you.

Even if that’s not the case here, there’s no reason for you to be supplying them with a bunch of extra info.

Just offer them the $3,000, and make it clear that your financial coach – which is me – told you not to answer any more of their nosy questions.

Make sure they understand that your offer of $3,000 stands as a settlement of the debt today. If they’re willing to accept the offer, get a statement in writing saying that the $3,000 represents payment in full before you cut the check. If they choose not to accept your offer, and they keep asking questions that are none of their business, just tell them to call back when they’re willing to discuss terms. Then, hang up!

Interviewing on the Sly Tips for Employed Job Seekers calls,” advises Lindsay Olson, a partner and recruiter with Paradigm Staffing in New York City.

By John Rossheim, Monster Senior Contributing Writer When searching for a new job, dealing with prospective employers is stressful enough: the numerous rejections before you get to yes, grueling interviews, tense salarynegotiationsandmore.But add the almost universal need to conceal your job search -- especially the interviews -- from your present employer, and the result distracts many job seekers from preparing for interviews and even conducting them properly.

We asked several experts how to mitigate the troubles of the professional who must protect his current job while interviewing for a new one. The toughest challenges fall into three categories: scheduling interviews into and around the workday, dressing to impress without setting off alarms at work and finding excuses for those mysterious “appointments.”

Scheduling Interviews The best strategy for scheduling job interviews is to set expectations with your prospects about the limits work places on your availability while remaining as flexible as possible. “Tell the recruiter or prospective employer early on about your hours of availability for phone

Many initial screening interviews are conducted by phone.

Tight schedules notwithstanding, it’s critical to your present employment security to avoid doing phone interviews while the boss might be listening from the other side of the partition.

“Schedule your calls; don’t try to do them on the fly,” says Karen Loebbaka, director of recruiting for venture capital firm Bay Partners in Cupertino, California.

Even communicating with the prospective employer to arrange the interview can be problematic. “You’ve got to be creative -- maybe take your lunch hour from 1 to 2,” when more managers at the prospective employer are likely to be back at their desks to take your call, says Melanie Szlucha, a job interview coach in Norwalk, Connecticut.

Some impatient employers and recruiters may not be satisfied with the once-a-day email habit of job seekers who wisely want to avoid their work computers. “Get Web service for your cellphone, or get a BlackBerry,” recommends Olson.

“Ten dollars a month for Web access is a small price to pay.”

Pulling a Clark Kent You know the drill: You work in a khakis or jeans office, but you’ve got to wear a suit to a lunch interview. If you need to pull a Clark Kent, plan what will serve as your phone booth in advance.

“I’ve changed my clothes in my car in a deserted parking lot,” says Szlucha. “You can also use hotel or library restrooms.”

But the restroom of the coffee shop nearest the office is a bad place to dress up incognito.

Another tactic is to create a diversion with decoy dress-up days.

“Start wearing dress clothes to work one or two days a week,” says Szlucha. You may receive suspicious glances and knowing remarks at first, but the reaction likely will fade over time.

You can reduce the risk of raising suspicions by not dressing up more than necessary for a particular interview. “Call the receptionist or someone in HR and ask what’s the dress code,” advises Szlucha. “For your interview, go one level up from there.”

But if your employer corners you to ask about your “appointment,” deception can be justified, some believe. “One should tell the truth when at all possible,” says Michael Hoffman, director of the

Center for Business Ethics at Bentley College. “But it depends on the situation and environment you’re working in. If you see no alternative, you may be forced to tell less than the whole truth.”

Sometimes telling the truth would cause a greater harm, says Hoffman. “So it might be that saying you have a doctor’s appointment is ethically permissible,” he says.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Substantial accomplishments can be achieved in the year ahead, provided you are able to stay well-organized and keep your priorities straight. Don’t put the cart before the horse.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If everyone is going in one direction while you’re headed in another, you had better stop and ask yourself who is out of step.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There is definitely a line between healthy optimism and wishful thinking. If you can’t tell the dif-

ference, you could turn success into failure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t let it be said of you that you’re only nice to those who can do something for you. People will see right through you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your staying power might have its limitations. If the going gets tough, instead of pushing yourself, you might throw in the towel.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- When working with others, don’t pretend to be knowledgeable about something you know

little about. The only one who’ll be taken in by this pretense will be you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Give a wide berth to any involvement that could put you in the position of having to pay for someone else’s mistakes. If you can’t call the shots, call a cab.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be on guard when having to negotiate with an individual about whom you know little. Not everyone has high standards.

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

Although you’re not likely to have a problem grasping the big picture, you could lack an eye for detail. To be on the safe side, tread carefully and don’t trip over the little things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you find yourself involved in some type of competitive activity, be it physical or mental, don’t make any wagers.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t jump to conclusions or base your judgment on sketchy information. Take plenty of time to make certain you have all the facts.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An endeavor might prove to be more difficult than you thought it would be, but that’s no reason to scuttle it. You’ll just have to give it more time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It might be one of those rare times when you’ll lack discipline in the management of your resources. Unless you stop yourself from being overly extravagant, you’ll regret it.

Return to Rockford for a magical day There are some days that are magical.

The planets aligned, and this past Tuesday was one of those days.

My husband and I drove to Rockford.

Our first stop was the Anderson Japanese Gardens. I featured these gardens recently, but it is a place I expect to visit again and again, and my husband had never been there. He was enthralled.

The four key elements of the Japanese Tea Ceremony are harmony, respect, tranquility and purity. This garden reflects those values in a striking way. It is impossible to spend quiet time there and not feel more harmonious, respectful, tranquil and pure. According to Anderson Garden’s website, “In our hectic and stressful world, Anderson Japanese Gardens opens minds to a different culture while offering guests a place of peace and tranquility where they will find healing, renewal, inspiration and a re-energized soul.”

Now here is a real scoop. Every Tuesday during the summer, Anderson Gardens has an outdoor concert. The day we visited, Milwaukee-based rock and country band Mostly Water were performing. Guests can find a place on the lawn, Ravinia-style, and dinner can be bought from vendors on site.

Our next stop was the Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum only a short distance away. The cottage was built as a personal residence by Robert Hall Tinker after a nine-month trip to Europe in 1862.

Although the house is a vestige of the Victorian era, it is nothing like others we had seen. The architecture is distinctively Swiss. It is on a less grand scale than those of other industrialists, but it is packed with treasures from a lifetime of collecting by Tinker and his wife.

We were delighted to be part of a tour led by Steve Litteral, the executive director and historian for the site. Not only did he teach us a lot, but he did so with humor and personality. Hopefully, he will not mind if I steal a couple of his lines just to give you a flavor.

Tinker rose from the humble background of a missionary family to work for a manufacturing company in Rockford owned by a widowed woman. He ended his life a very wealthy man. Litteral described this path to success as, “Mr.

The Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum in Rockford was built as a personal residence by Robert Hall Tinker after a nine-month trip to Europe in 1862.

Tinker got rich the old fashioned way; he married his boss.”

Speaking of the great difference in taste between Tinker and his wife, Litteral pointed out furniture of a very rustic and primitive design inspired again by Tinker’s love of everything Swiss. In contrast, his wife, Mary, loved fine art, and the more ornate and ostentatious the better.

Litteral’s way of capturing Mary’s taste: “It was Elvis meets Liberace.” So much for stuffy lectures on historical minutia.

For information on Tinker Cottage, call 815-964-2424 or visit www.tinkercottage. org.

Our day in Rockford ended with a wonderful discovery – the restaurant Abreo at 515 E. State St. Local food critics have named Abreo Rockford’s top restaurant, and we found no reason to argue with that assessment.

Be prepared for something different.

Most of the menu is comprised of “small plate” dishes. They are divided into four courses, and the great fun is to get creative with the chef to compose the meal that pleases you. If you prefer, however, you can choose between one of several entrees from the ever-changing chef’s tasting menu.

WEDNESDAY

Recipies, tips, nutrition and more!

My husband and I enjoyed ordering small plates and exchanging tastings from each other’s selections. My husband’s first course was roasted beets with feta, caramelized onions, black olives, basil vinaigrette and spiced walnuts. My first course was asparagus gazpacho with cucumber salsa, creme fraiche and crisp rice paper.

Both were phenomenal. From there it was on to curried gnocchi with braised lamb, blackened scallops with carrot-mango reduction, Belgian-style mussels made with golden monkey beer and a mushroom bread pudding topped with an egg.

As you can tell, Chef Paul Sletten took a different path than Betty Crocker. Everything was fresh (Chef Paul buys in-season produce from local farmers) and delicious.

In addition, the cost of dinner is a lot less than you may be expecting. My husband and I are planning to celebrate our wedding anniversary there. Reservations are recommended by calling 815-968-9463. For information, visit www.abreorockford. com.

A fresh take on Father’s Day

By J.M. HIRSCH

Pepper-Lime Flank Steak With Shrimp And Salmon Ceviche

The Associated Press When I think surf and turf, I think rich and overwrought.

It’s not that I mind big and bold.

It’s just that I prefer them when paired with fresh and vibrant, especially as we head into summer. So for Father’s Day I decided to rethink the classic surf and turf. My goal was to retain the meaty goodness of the dish, but make the flavors really pop and keep the dish feeling fresh.

What I ended up with is a flank steak that marinates in lime juice and cracked black pepper before being grilled and topped with a shrimp, salmon and avocado ceviche.

Ceviche is a Central and South American dish in which raw seafood is “cooked” in a bath of citrus juice, often spiked with just a bit of hot peppers. The result is a luscious, delicate texture and a punchy, fresh flavor.

For my ceviche, I went with shrimp and salmon. And you obviously want to get the freshest possible seafood for this dish.

To hit just the right texture, the shrimp are briefly poached in boiling water. But if you’re not comfortable dishing up raw salmon on your own, you can substitute an equal amount of cold smoked salmon. The smoked salmon is still raw, but some people feel more comfortable with a product prepared by somebody else.

I kept the heat in the ceviche on the mild side, but it’s easily adjusted

to suit your preferences.

Pepper-Lime Flank Steak With Shrimp And Salmon Ceviche Start to finish: 1 1/2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 4 For the steak: 1 1/2 pounds flank steak 1/4 cup lime juice 1/4 cup olive oil Kosher salt and ground black pepper For the ceviche: 1/2 pound raw large shrimp, peeled and cleaned

Juice of 5 limes (about 1/2 cup) 1/4 small red onion, finely diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 habanero or jalapeno pepper, seeds and ribs removed, minced 1/2 cup finely chopped cucumber 1/2 cup thawed frozen corn kernels Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1/2 pound salmon, cut into 1/4-inch cubes 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed To marinate the steak, place it in a nonreactive baking dish. Drizzle the lime juice and olive over both sides, then season liberally with salt and pepper. Rub the seasonings in,

then cover and refrigerate.

To prepare the ceviche, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Have a large bowl of ice water nearby. Add the shrimp to the boiling water and poach for 30 seconds, then use a slotted spoon to transfer to the ice water. Once the shrimp have completely cooled, use the slotted spoon to transfer them to a kitchen towel to dry.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl stir together the lime juice, red onion, garlic, hot pepper, cucumber and corn. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and the salmon, then gently mix. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

After the ceviche has chilled for an hour, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature. Meanwhile, heat the grill to high.

Remove the ceviche from the refrigerator and stir in the cilantro and avocado. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Using an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs, oil the grill grates. Season the steak with additional pepper, then grill for 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steak into thin slices across the grain. Divide the sliced steak between serving plates, then spoon ceviche over each serving.

Stop, smell roses on Garden Walk Woodstock event set for Thursday

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com An upcoming Woodstock Garden Walk promises to inspire, provide a bit of refuge and reveal hidden treasures.

The 21st annual event hosted by the Woodstock Professional and Business Women will take place from 1 to 7 p.m.

Thursday with participants invited to stroll through six gardens, all within a 10-minute drive from the Woodstock Square.

Two of the gardens are in town, while four are in the countryside, organizers say.

They range from a 5-acre estate to smaller, well-loved gardens, said Tricia McCoy, who chairs this year’s event.

Many times, it’s the smaller gardens that get the most attention, she said.

“We have several gardens that are quite small, but they pack a lot of punch,” she said.

Among those featured is “Cottage Ridge Gardens,” featuring a pool and cottage garden with wisteria climbing over the pergola, hydrangeas, rambling roses, lavender and the gardener’s favorite, daises.

Others include the “I’m so Blue” garden with a “pop” of blue and purple throughout; the “Collie Flower Farm” with rows of flowers grown for farmers markets, weddings and special occasions; and the “Bird and Butterfly Haven” featuring a gravel path meandering past a white bordered shade garden onto a mixed border.

At “Bird and Butterfly Haven,” a fountain crowns the terraced garden, and a rain garden is planted with native perennials chosen to attract birds and butterflies.

In Bull Valley, “The Conifer Collection” includes weeping, creeping and towering conifers, with new plants and features added to the 5-acre landscape and rock garden every year since 1963.

“Home Again” was created as a refuge from busy lives with croquet and badminton lawns, a pool and acres of land that attract wildlife. The

If you go WHAT: Woodstock Garden Walk hosted by the Woodstock Professional and Business Women WHEN: 1 to 7 p.m. Thursday.

WHERE: Stroll through gardens, all within a 10-minute drive from the Woodstock Square. Tickets, at $15 each, and maps available from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the gazebo bandstand on the Woodstock Square. Advance tickets, at $13 each, available at the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce, Seasons by Peg, Golden Eagle and Harris and Home State Banks in Woodstock.

garden includes a sampling of unusual trees, shrubs and perennials to round out the edges.

Organizers always are looking for unique, eye-catching gardens, including for next year’s event.

“We actually sometimes go knock on doors when we see the good gardens,” McCoy said. “If people really work hard and do a good job on their gardens, they usually enjoy sharing.”

Both area residents and others are encouraged to attend and not only see the gardens, but also spend the day at the Woodstock Square, where many merchants are offering specials and discounts to those taking part in the event.

With tickets costing $13 in advance and $15 the day of, the Garden Walk benefits the Frances Kuhn Scholarships for adult women returning to school.

The Woodstock Professional and Business Women recently awarded five, $1,000 scholarships, the most the group ever has given, McCoy said. The group also recognizes an annual Woman of the Year and supports the Christmas Clearing House, among other causes.

Diaper duty’s just the start

By BETH J. HARPAZ The Associated Press

L

aura Radocaj of Vero Beach, Fla., was warned when she was pregnant with twins that motherhood would be harder than she imagined – especially because she planned to go back to work while the twins were still babies.

“But this has been the easiest transition,” said Radocaj, 28, who works from home in corporate communications.

So what’s her secret?

Her husband, Marco, also 28, puts in just as much time with child care and housework as she does, even though he works full time for an air-conditioning company.

“If your partner is splitting things 50-50, it’s easy,” Laura said. “Before, when everyone made motherhood seem like such a big deal, men weren’t chipping in as much.”

Something is changing with today’s young fathers. By their own accounts, by their wives’ testimony, and according to time-use studies and other statistics, more men are doing more around the house, from packing school lunches and doing laundry to getting up in the middle of the night with a screaming infant.

“If it’s not my job, then it’s her job, and that wouldn’t be fair,” Marco said.

But it’s not just about sharing chores. For dads in their 20s and 30s, being an involved father is part of their identity. They blog about changing diapers, they chat nonchalantly with colleagues about breastfeeding, and they trade recipes for baby food while working out with guys at the gym.

Creed Anthony, 37, a teacher and father of two in Indianapolis, recalled at one point standing in a hallway at work “talking about breastfeeding with three women. It was natural. They didn’t bat an eye. ...

“And there are a number of guys at school who talk to each other about these things, whether it’s ‘my son’s getting up at 2 in the morning, he’s got this diaper rash, what did you do?’ or running a vacuum cleaner to help a colicky baby. It’s funny, but it’s perfect.”

His wife, Amal Anthony, 35, who works at a law firm, says Creed not only handles diapers and sick kids, but also does most of the shopping and laundry. But please don’t call her husband Mr. Mom. “The Mr. Mom thing gets thrown around a lot, and a lot of us don’t like that,” said Anthony, who writes a blog called “Tales from the Poop Deck” and also contributes to the “Life of Dad” social networking site. “It’s normal to us to be a dad. This is what we’re supposed to do.”

As working moms increasingly become the norm, and as their financial contributions become more critical, they’re doing less cleaning and cooking. A Pew study released

in March shows since 1965, fathers have increased the amount of time they spend on household chores from four hours to 10 hours a week. Women still do more, but reduced their housework from 32 hours a week to 18. Dads also have tripled the amount of time they spend with children since 1965, though moms still put in about six more hours a week with kids, according to the Pew study.

For their part, the new dads say they want things divided equally.

Fatherhood, says Jeremy Foster, 37, of Kansas City, Mo., has gone from a “provide, protect scenario, to a team effort, especially nowadays with couples raising children where both work full time.”

At one point, when his 1-year-old Sophia wasn’t sleeping well, Foster even moved into the nursery so his wife, a social worker, could get enough sleep.

“I’d rock Sophia and get her back to sleep so my wife wasn’t doing all the work,” said Foster, a creative director and designer for an online platform called CD2 Learning.

Foster and his wife also have hisand-her diaper bags – hers with a floral pattern, his a gray-and-orange messenger bag from DiaperDude.com. The company was founded 10 years ago by Chris Pegula of Santa Monica, Calif., a father of three who was put off by his wife’s taste in diaper bags.

“They were so feminine, there was no way in hell I was going to carry one of them,” said Pegula, now 41. “They had colorful stripes and flowers and leopard prints. They were basically purses. I went to look for a bag for myself but there wasn’t anything on the market in a dad category.” Diaper Dude now sells dozens of styles designed to appeal to men, from camouflage prints to bags with baseball team logos.

Other signs hands-on dads are now mainstream range from changing tables in men’s restrooms to unisex baby showers to paternity leave in the workplace. But the outside world has not completely accepted the notion of dads as equal partners. Randi Wall, 25, of Northfield, N.J., says she still gets “a lot of negative comments” from “elders” about her fiancé, Douglas White, Jr., 24, who works as a mechanic and also helps around the house and with their two kids.

Wall, who works from home in advertising and marketing, tunes the naysayers out, saying, “I’m extremely proud of the man and the father that he is. Sharing our responsibilities makes our relationship, and our family, function much more smoothly.”

Grant promotes healthy strategies in area schools A primary focus of the We Choose Health grant is implementing the Coordinated School Health strategy at school districts in McHenry County.

Coordinated School Health is a collaboration of health education, physical education, school health services, family and community involvement, counseling and social services, healthy school environment, staff health promotion and school nutrition services.

These eight components of Coordinated School Health are all areas that directly or indirectly convey health messages to children. The process of Coordinated School Health brings everyone in a school together to teach and reinforce healthy habits to students. A child’s health is strongly linked to academic success, and schools are continually focused on the health and well-being of their students.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one third of children now are considered obese or overweight in the United States, and national obesity rates have tripled over the past 30 years. Children are spending less time playing outside and more time in front of the computer, television and video game systems. Other factors include portion distortion and fast food accessibility.

Our society has made eating unhealthy not only the easier option, but the less expensive option, as well.

To address this problem, We Choose Health school district partners are making environmental changes. They are creating an environment that teaches, reinforces and rewards healthy eating habits

FROM THE HEALTH DEPT. Kristen Dahm and physical activity.

School health policies and programs are very effective in preventing obesity and serious health problems. Students spend about 180 days a year in school, so it’s extremely important for schools to promote healthy lifestyles.

It’s equally as important for parents and guardians to also reinforce these healthy habits outside of the school day. Teaching children the importance of living a healthy lifestyle at a young age is critical to their success at continuing these healthy habits as teenagers and adults.

We Choose Health McHenry County has an overall goal of creating widespread change to make living a healthy life and being as physically active as possible the easy, most accessible option.

Doctor finishes prostate cancer treatment in time for mission trip

By JAMI KUNZER

Get informed

jkunzer@shawmedia.com Crystal Lake dentist Dr. Phil Neal has gone to Honduras every year to provide care to those without, and a diagnosis of prostate cancer wasn’t going to stop him this year.

One of Neal’s main concerns was the treatment would prevent him from the trip he’s taken the past nine years.

“It’s a calling in my life,” said Neal, a Woodstock resident and father of six and grandfather of two.

“Faith is very important to me,” he said. “We want to share in all the prosperity we have in the U.S. We just want to go down there and help people that otherwise are hopeless. The need is so great.”

Because of this, Neal sought a treatment that would allow him to recover as quickly as possible. From December of last year until February, he received proton therapy at the CDH Proton Center, a ProCure Center in Warrenville.

About a month later, he was off to Honduras.

Neal now hopes to raise awareness of the type of radiation treatment he received, which uses a beam of protons targeted precisely

Dr. Phil Neal’s medical office is at Crystal Lake Dental Associates, 280-B Memorial Court, Crystal Lake.

For information on his outreach efforts in Honduras, visit www.drneal. com or call 815-459-2202.

For information on proton therapy and the CDH Proton Center, a ProCure Center in Warrenville, visit www.procure.com. at the cancer tumor. Other types of radiation use X-rays to destroy cancer cells.

In all, Neal had 44 treatments, going daily in the early morning hours. Then, he said, he’d head to work.

“It’s a very simple procedure and painless,” he said.

“The one thing is you kind of have to watch your diet and stay well hydrated. ... There was a little fatigue.”

Urinating became painful for awhile, but that subsided, he said.

Neal hasn’t missed any work due to the treatment.

The CDH Proton Center where he received treatment is the first in Illinois to bring this type of radiation treatment to patients. It is believed to cause less damage to surrounding healthy tissue because the proton beams can be aimed onto a tumor and can be used at

Crystal Lake dentist Dr. Phil Neal of Woodstock traveled to Honduras to offer dental care in March, just a month after finishing treatment for prostate cancer at CDH Proton Center in Warrenville. higher doses of radiation.

It’s often used for cancers, such as brain, eye, head and neck, lung, spine and prostate, that are very close to critical parts of the body.

Because of the high expense to build a proton therapy center, the treatment remains limited to few medical centers and patients.

Right now, the treatment is available at only 11 centers in the country, said Laura Kaster, a spokeswoman for ProCure Treatment Centers, Inc. Still, Neal said, those facing cancer should research

the treatment as an option.

“I would recommend that as an alternative to surgery,” he said.

He supports it so much that he said he’s writing a book about it and his medical journey.

He already is a published author. The time he spent in treatment inspired him to write the children’s book, “The Tooth Un-Fairy Tale,” available at major booksellers, including Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

Already available, his children’s book tells a story Neal often tells his young pa-

tients who are about to lose teeth about a boy who wishes to make a bargain for a tooth.

“Normally you say, ‘Put it under your pillow and mom’s going to contact the Tooth Fairy,’” he said. “I put a twist on that story to keep the kids interested and alleviate fears.”

Neal just had his threemonth check-up and remains healthy.

“Right now, everything is right on track. Everything was looking good,” he said.

“The numbers are right where they’re supposed to be, and I’m feeling fine.”

New sunscreen labels will keep you from getting burned by lies

By VICKY HALLETT The Washington Post Remember that bottle of waterproof sunblock you bought last year? It lied – lotion can’t be waterproof or totally block out harmful rays.

Thanks to new sunscreen labeling rules from the Food and Drug Administration that recently went into effect, misleading terminology has been wiped away to help consumers understand what exactly it is they’re buying.

“We don’t want to give

users a false sense of security that they can stay in the sun for longer,” said Shelby Moneer, education program manager for the Melanoma Research Foundation, which advocated for the changes.

Products these days can boast being water-resistant, but now they have to clarify how long that protection lasts (either 40 or 80 minutes) to make it easier to remember when to slather more on.

The goal is to clear up any confusion, Moneer said, because although most people have gotten the message that

they need sunscreen, “they’re not using enough and they’re not applying enough.” She recommends a shot glass’s worth of sunscreen every two hours – and only using products that are “Broad Spectrum” (protecting against both UVA and UVB rays) and SPF 30 or higher.

It’s great if your facial moisturizer happens to have sun protection, adds Moneer, who uses an Oil of Olay product with SPF 30. But your morning routine won’t matter much when you’re outside at lunchtime, she cautions.

Moneer also advises wearing a hat and sleeves whenever possible – although, as a beach volleyball player, she recognizes sometimes sun exposure is inevitable. That’s not an excuse, however, for athletes and coaches not to be diligent about precautions.

“We have the saying, ‘Once a melanoma patient, always a melanoma patient,’ ” said Moneer, who often has to explain that this type of skin cancer – the secondmost common form of cancer for young adults – can spread

to other organs.

Although promising treatments are on the horizon, prevention is critical.

Changing sunscreen labels should help, but even more important is changing the way people see themselves.

Moneer recently returned from a volleyball tournament in Florida, where she was bombarded with comments about how pale she looked.

“You have to be comfortable in your skin,” Moneer said. “There’s nothing wrong with being the color you’re born with.”

Family game night McHenry Christian Fellowship Softball League celebrates 35 years of bringing families, communities together for Monday night games •

Story by JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawnews.com Photos by LATHAN GOUMAS lgoumas@shawmedia.com

•

ABOVE: Zac Reimer of the Bethany Lutheran softball team talks with his parents before opening day for the new South Conference of the McHenry Christian Fellowship Softball League at Lions Park in Cary. RIGHT: Jeff Telson of the Saint Peter and Paul softball team places his hat over his heart during opening day ceremonies.

TOP LEFT: Bats hang in a dugout before the game. The league celebrates its 35th year this year.

I

t might be just a game. A ball. A bat. A glove.

But for Drew Miller and others who grew up watching their parents round the bases every week, softball was tradition.

It was high-fives, dirt digs and cheers, the only place to be on Monday nights.

“When my brother and I were younger, we’d wait around until the end of the game so we could run the bases,” Miller remembered. “We got so excited just to run around those bases.”

Miller now plays alongside his father, Dave Miller of McHenry, a charter member of the McHenry Christian Fellowship Softball League. The league, which started with only 13 teams from McHenry area churches, is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.

Now with 32 teams, its highest number yet, it has expanded with a new South Conference league based at Cary Lions Park. The original league plays at McHenry Township Park.

“The good Lord has really blessed us, and we’ve just really blossomed here and we’ve really expanded our reach,” said Doug Peterson, the league president for the past eight years and a player since 1993.

With about 500 players, the teams represent 25 different churches. Their religious beliefs might differ slightly, but denominations don’t really matter on the ball field. What does matter is a shared love of the game.

Pastors, parishioners, friends, husbands and wives, fathers and sons, generations of families and others come together to play. Yes, they want to win.

But being together, friendly, neighborly and Christian is more important.

“We think the difference in our league is that we’re very purposeful in providing a family-friendly atmosphere for people to come out and watch the games,” Peterson said.

“We have a very high standard of behavior, a code of conduct that players have to sign off on every year,” he said. “We’re promoting fellowship and teamwork.”

Teams pray both before the game at home plate as well as after the game.

And they host an annual fundraiser for FISH of McHenry SIGN UP Food Pantry, a 9-inning, Good Guys vs. Good Guys game with For information raffles every third out. on the McHenry The coaches from the church league will compete against Christian Felplayers from the McHenry lowship Softball League, visit www. Police and Fire departments at 4 churchsoftball.org. p.m. July 27 at McHenry Township Park. With donations, local celebrities can sign up to be a “Celebrity at Bat” and head to the plate once during the game.

Through the years, the league has welcomed all interested in playing, has had nonchurch-goers join up and find themselves swept up in the camaraderie.

“We’ve had people that weren’t necessarily involved in church and their lives were a little messed up, and they’ve gotten involved and have seen good things happen,” Peterson said.

Others join through their churches as something recreational to do.

What starts as a whim becomes a memory in the making.

Dave Miller has played since the league’s humble beginnings in 1978 and now plays first base for a team representing Anchor Baptist Church in Genoa City, Wis. His son, a player for the past 12 years, is a pitcher.

“It’s just a fun thing to do,” Dave Miller said.

“You’re out one night a week, and it’s not the big bar scene or whatever afterwards. ... And we’re pretty good. We’re not too bad this year.”

Drew Miller said it was inevitable he’d play, considering he started attending games while in a car seat.

“It’s been a Monday night thing for as long as I can remember,” he said.

Father and son have their quirks with one another and can be competitive, they say, but can’t imagine not meeting up on Monday nights.

Neither can the Talbots of Johnsburg. They make up nearly half of a team representing CrossPoint Church of Ingleside.

Nancy and Tom Talbot play along with their four grown boys, their youngest being 18 years old.

Mini baseball stadiums on display at museum NORTHWEST HERALD UNION – Baseball aficionado Bill Rose of Rockton is bringing his collection of baseball stadiums to the McHenry County Historical Society Museum.

Rose has collected more than 50 miniature stadiums, including Ebbets Field, Three Rivers Stadium and Comiskey Park. Each was painstakingly re-created by the Franklin Mint.

The limited exhibition will be from 1 to 4 p.m. today and June 24. Fathers are admitted free on Father’s Day with the purchase of a regular adult or child admission.

Members always are free.

The stadiums also will be available for viewing from

noon to 2 p.m. June 22 before a free Civil War-era baseball game at Siems Memorial Park, off Highbridge Road, just east of Main Street.

The game pits the McHenry County “Independants,” an actual team of that era, against the Lake County Athletics.

Grayslake Heritage Center Executive Director Dave Oberg will umpire and emcee, explaining the rules and teaching the audience to cheer and jeer in proper 19th-century fashion. Bring your own chair and blanket to sit on. Popcorn, Cracker Jack and lemonade will be available for purchase.

For information, call 815-923-2267 or visit www. gothistory.org.

Players must be 17 to join • GAME NIGHT Continued from page 9 The couple’s oldest son, Bryan, plays along with his wife, Amanda.

“They always tease us we can’t go on vacation,” Nancy Talbot said. “We have missed a game here and there, but never all of us.”

Nancy and Tom first began playing about seven years ago with two of their sons. When their other two

sons became old enough – players must be 17 – they played, as well.

It was a refreshing transition from watching their sons play individually on teams growing up to playing together, Nancy Talbot said.

And because of the league, because of the game and the memories made, the family has remained close.

“It’s fantastic,” Nancy Talbot said. “You know every Monday night, you’re going to see them all.”

Good Guys vs. Good Guys The league will host a Good Guys vs. Good Guys Charity Softball event at 4 p.m. July 27 at McHenry Township Park. Raffles will be held every third out during the nine-innning game with the money raised going toward the FISH of McHenry Food Pantry. Local celebrity are invited to make donations in exchange for a chance to be a “Celebrity at Bat” once during the game.

Gem Talk

NEW YORK – The traditional bridal gown isn’t a skimpy silhouette: It’s long and typically without a plunging neckline or high slit.

There’s often a whole lot of fabric.

One of the few opportunities for brides to be a little bare is to go with a strapless or sleeveless dress – and go with them they do.

David Tutera, wedding planner, designer and host of WeTV’s “My Fair Wedding With David Tutera,” says besides those restricted by religious customs, he encounters very few brides who want to be more covered than they have to be. More often they want to savor their moment in the spotlight and show themselves off as youthful, pretty and sexy, he said.

New bridal collections are dominated by dresses with no sleeves, even though that takes many women out of their comfort zone.

There was a brief period when sleeves were hot – after Kate Middleton wore a long-sleeve Alexander McQueen gown to become the Duchess of Cambridge – but it didn’t last. Bare arms are again the norm.

It wasn’t always that way.

“It feels like strapless has been the go-to in wedding dresses forever, but, historically speaking, it’s still a very recent trend,” said Keija Minor, editor in chief of Brides magazine.

“With some notable exceptions,

See our strapless style gallery at PlanitNorthwest.com/fashion. gowns had high necks and long sleeves up through the 1990s. Just think about Princess Diana’s wedding gown in 1981 with those big puffy sleeves. It was larger than life to be sure, but still very on trend for the times.”

The shift, she said, came about 20 years ago as tradition gave way to a hint of sex appeal.

Strapless wedding dresses “are the majority of what’s out there.

They dominate in the stores and on every bridal magazine’s editorial pages. They are the easiest to try on and fit,” designer Romona Keveza said.

Brides’ Minor said women of many sizes and shapes, including full-figured ones, can benefit from the illusion of a longer, leaner arm created by the uncovered shoulder.

And, Keveza added, strapless gowns have come a long way and are now comfortable, sturdy and stable.

Tutera says brides should consider the season, location and overall vibe of the wedding before heading straight to strapless. It’s ideal for a beach wedding, but at a ski resort?

Not so much, he said. His solution is the detachable-sleeve gown he introduced into his collection.

The pearl forms when an irritant, such as a small parasite or a grain of sand, lodges in the flesh of an oyster, mussel or clam.

Because of this irritant, a substance called “nacre” starts to form around it. Over several years, the layers of nacre start to build up around the irritant creating a beautiful pearl. Not all pearls are made in nature, laboratories began a process of their own to make pearls by placing a piece of shell or bead in the mollusk to stimulate the production of nacre (called cultured pearls). They come in a variety of colors including pure white, pink, yellow, gray and black. They also come in many different shapes and sizes.

It is believed that chronic headaches and migraines can be alleviated or completely cured by wearing a pearl necklace directly on the skin. Pearls also reduce allergies. Psychologically, pearls promote wisdom and commitment well into old age. They are considered to be a symbol of purity and are often given to celebrate a marriage or the birth of a child. The pearl is the accepted gemstone for the 30th wedding anniversary.

June also has 2 alternative birthstones: the first is Moonstone. It varies in color from clear to blue-white or peach. It was considered by ancient civilizations to be a sacred stone, bestowing the wearer with great spiritual understanding. A gift of the stone is symbolic of health and longevity. The second is Alexandrite, a yellowish or brownish green colored stone. It is symbolic of joy and good fortune.

Father feels blessed to have confident daughters Dear Abby: I am writing you not because of a problem, but because of two special people in my life.

I have two daughters, both in their 20s. They are well-educated and happy. I adore them. My wife and I consider ourselves lucky to be their parents. We never pushed them toward goals or to succeed, but they are self-motivated and confident.

I have come to the conclusion some of us are quite blessed. I’d like you to know at least two parents in this world realize that we are, and that we count our blessings. I am older now, and my relationship with my daughters continues to mature and grow.

Older age has its joys, too – some far deeper than I had ever imagined. – An Appreciative Father In Oregon Dear Appreciative Father: Thank you for writing an “upper” of a letter.

Your daughters didn’t turn out so well by magic, and congratulations to you and your wife for what was obviously successful parenting. I would like to wish you a very happy Father’s Day and offer the same to fathers everywhere – birth fathers, stepfathers, adoptive fathers, foster fathers and those caring men who mentor children and fill the role of absent fathers.

Dear Abby: My son is married to a wonderful young woman, “Dana,” and they have a small baby. Dana suffered a brain injury years ago that left her somewhat developmentally delayed. Until the baby was born, it wasn’t much of an issue, but it is becoming apparent Dana is not always able to parent the child appropriately.

(She will leave her on a table to get a diaper, doesn’t feed her according

to schedule and doesn’t dress her warmly in cold weather.)

My son takes care of things when he’s home, but he works every day.

When I think of my own daughter’s development, I see Dana is operating at approximately a middle-teen level even though she’s 28. Can you advise what I can do to ensure my granddaughter is safe and secure without making my daughter-in-law feel inadequate? I don’t want to seem like a meddling M-I-L. – Loves Dana Dear Loves Dana: If Dana would leave the baby on a table while she went to get a diaper, would she also leave the baby in a tub while she went to answer a phone? If you haven’t voiced your concerns to your son, please do because your granddaughter could be seriously injured. Parenting classes might help your daughter-

in-law, or involving a social worker or arranging for day care for the baby also could solve this problem.

Dear Abby: My wife of 37 years is calling out another man’s name and moving her lips in her sleep. I don’t recognize the name, and I believe it might be someone she works with.

Should I be concerned? – Sleepless In

Texas Dear Sleepless: You should be curious, but sleep-talking is not necessarily indicative of romance. If you haven’t already, ask her who the man of her dreams is. She could be mumbling the name of an old boyfriend from high school or that of a beloved pet from childhood.

Those who look outside of themselves come up empty Sue was getting tired of being angry all the time.

Her friends initially found her personality change amusing but now were finding it annoying. She had driven off her last two boyfriends and knew inside that it wasn’t them, it was her. She was scared to death to be alone, and yet she demanded “space.” She felt like she needed someone to care for her, yet she resented anyone’s attempt to do so.

“Sue” knew her dad had been overprotective and her mom’s prescription drug problem had been a factor in

the family’s problems, but she never thought any of that would affect her.

She only began the discovery process when her second ex-boyfriend made some uncharacteristically astute observations on his way out the door that got her attention.

He said, “I’ll miss you, and I’ll always love you, but this wasn’t going to work anyway because you don’t know who you are.”

Those words echoed so loudly for Sue that for a rare moment, she had nothing to say – no snappy comment, no

angry retort. After a good cry and a “How dare he say that to me” session, she found she couldn’t get his observation out of her head. She realized he was right.

She had been the “good girl” all her life. She did what her father asked of her in large part to keep the peace in the family. Her brother and sister were both in trouble most of the time, and they certainly didn’t want to disturb mom or she would have one of her “spells” and need to hide in the bedroom with a bottle of pills for a couple of days.

Sue has started on the journey to find out who she is, and although there have been bumps in the road, some painful realizations and changes in the way she relates to her family and others, she’s made some real progress. She’s not so afraid of the inner landscape anymore.

She was a “good girl” in her marriage as well, even though he wasn’t such a “good boy.” In fact, he was an extremely controlling and jealous guy who manipulated and second-guessed her all the way to the end of that marriage.

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

LOCAL SHOWTIMES

“The Internship” H½ STARRING: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Rose Byrne PLOT: After losing their jobs as watch salesman, a pair of hapless 40-somethings (Vaughn and Wilson) scam their way into Google’s intern program. They compete with college students 20 years their junior for full-time jobs at the Internet giant.

RATING: PG-13 for sexuality, some crude humor, partying and language TIME: 1 hour, 59 minutes VERDICT: Both a particularly lazy comedy for producer and co-writer Vaughn and a two-hour recruitment ad for Google. Director Shawn Levy and Vaughn attempt to recreate the slobs vs. snobs appeal of such ’80s comedies as “Revenge of the Nerds” and “Meatballs” but fail because the script lacks any attitude besides piety for the glories of Google. You shouldn’t have to pay to see this movie; Google should pay you. – Jeffrey Westhoff,

Northwest Herald

“Man of Steel” HH STARRING: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe PLOT: While still coming to grips with his powers and reeling from the revelation that he is an alien from the planet Krypton, novice superhero Clark Kent (Cavill) must face a war criminal (Shannon) from his home world, a villain with all of Superman’s powers but none of his morality.

RATING: PG-13 for intense sequences of science-iction violence, action and destruction, and for some language TIME: 2 hours, 23 minutes VERDICT: After 2006’s bland “Superman Returns” failed to reignite the

• INFERNO Continued from page 16 But simultaneously, I’m always trying to keep what I’m writing a secret, and so the people I talk to are signing nondisclosures.

For every question I ask about the novel, I’ll ask four about other stuff entirely. I’ll go on tours of places I know aren’t going to be in the book, just to keep people off the trail. It’s not very efficient.

RATINGS HHHH - Excellent HHH - Recommended HH - Not recommended H - Awful most venerable of superhero franchises, Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder (“300”) try to shake up the hero’s mythos with a reboot that takes bold liberties with his origin story. Most of Snyder’s decisions are completely wrong for the stolid character. He creates a jittery, harsh and loud would-be blockbuster, a boilerplate alien invasion tale that happens to include Superman. The few times Cavill is permitted to act like Superman, he is endearingly, quietly heroic. Cavill doesn’t deserve David S. Goyer’s overwrought script and Snyder’s wrongheaded direction. – Jeffrey

I’d tell you, but it wouldn’t be true.

What’s the downside of “Da Vinci”?

James Franco’s house, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and many other celebrities are faced with the apocalypse.

RATING: R for crude and sexual content throughout, brief graphic nudity, pervasive language, drug use and some violence TIME: 1 hour, 47 minutes VERDICT: The seemingly exhausted gross-out comedy genre gets a strange temporary reprieve with “This Is The End,” an unlikable but weirdly compelling apocalyptic fantasy in which a bunch of young stars and stars-by-afiliation jokingly imagine their own mortality.

A sort-of “The Day of the Locust” centered on successful comic actors, rather than down-and-outers, facing a conlagration in Los Angeles, this is a dark farce that’s simultaneously self-deprecating, self-serving, an occasion to vent about both friends and rivals and to fret about self-worth in a cocooned environment. With everyone here oficially playing themselves, the result is like a giant home movie and a reality horror show, different enough from anything that’s come before to score with young audiences. “This Is The End” goes places you don’t expect it to, exploring the guys’ rifts and doubts and misgivings just as it wallows in an extravagant lifestyle that inevitably attracts public fascination. It also expresses the anxiety and insecurity of comics conscious of the big issues in life they are expected either to avoid or make fun of in their work.

Rogen and Goldberg take the latter approach here, in an immature but sometimes surprisingly upfront way one can interpret seriously.

Or not. – By Todd McCarthy, The

mous concepts without the baggage of language. They are transparent and universal.

I have to step away from. You run the risk of losing your mind.

Why does Langdon wear a Mickey Mouse watch?

“Inferno” is full of smart people, but it seems the smarter they are, the more they suffer.

Why is that?

This very serious professor needs to remind himself not to take it all that seriously. On some level, that’s something, especially now, I remind myself almost on a daily basis.

DAN’S ‘INFERNO’ Brown brings back Harvard hero Robert Langdon

By ZINTA LUNDBORG Bloomberg News

H

arvard symbologist Robert Langdon is back. Dan Brown’s latest thriller, the Dante-inspired “Inferno,” puts Langdon in a hospital bed with no memory of how he wound up there. Still, the clever professor is the only one who can figure out the doomsday puzzle, the first macabre piece of which is sewn into his bloody tweed jacket.

Langdon appeared in “The Da Vinci Code,” the literary phenomenon that sold 81 million copies in 51 languages.

About three years, including all the research.

And you’ve said you don’t even like writing. You never need to write another word, so why do it?

It’s a hard process, but I love having written. I love the research, and I love to inspire other people to be excited about ideas I’m excited about.

It’s about sharing a passion for Dante, Florence, the big ideas about what’s happening in the future.

How did you decide on Dante?

I always knew I would write about him. It wasn’t until Dante came along and created a structured, codified, vivid vision of hell that we really started to say, “I’ve got to go to church!”

Sin has a scary effect, and he invented hell as far as I’m concerned.

Dante thought pride was the biggest sin – what’s it for you?

Sloth. Life is short and you go around once, so you need to make something of your life. You need to contribute, ideally to a dialogue.

What’s the toughest thing about creating a thriller?

Does the thriller have a future?

We now have real-world thrillers at our fingertips almost daily. What authors bring to reality is that they take out all the boring parts.

Writers create suspense by cutting up reality, putting it in a different order, dropping pieces out, putting in misdirec-

How long did it take you to write “Inferno”?

For me, it’s making it relevant to the real world. I use real history, real locations, real science: I tell my readers these are fictional characters, but everything they’re dealing with, it’s real.

tion. The story becomes fascinating as you try to connect dots that aren’t connected for you on the page.

Tell me about the secretive Consortium – that’s real too?

There are a number of organizations like the Consortium. They essentially create alibis for people, or fictional realities. They make it easy to tell a very convincing lie.

Whether it’s the Vatican, the White

House or Microsoft – they all need to manage public perception, and sometimes that involves creating illusion or shaping the truth.

With “The Da Vinci Code” you set the bar pretty high for yourself. Does that make it easier or harder?

In terms of research, I now have access to people and places I didn’t before.
