Activists laud decision on gay marriage Part of federal law struck down

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com It took Toni Weaver all morning to stop crying – though hers were tears of joy.

Early Wednesday, a close friend called to tell her the news she’d been waiting years to hear – the Supreme Court handed gay-rights advocates a major victory. In a 5-4 ruling, justices struck down a provision of a federal law denying benefits to married gay couples and cleared the way for the resumption of same-sex marriage in California.

“When I got the news, and any time I tried to talk about it, I burst into tears. I’m so thrilled, overjoyed,” Weaver said. “When the highest court in our land rules in favor of equality, this is a momentous day.”

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois taxpayers will pony up at least $130 million extra in interest payments for a bond sale this week due to lowered credit ratings because lawmakers have failed to solve the state’s $97 billion pension crisis.

Two weeks after two credit-rating agencies downgraded the state’s rating to an all-time low, the state sold $1.3 billion in bonds Wednesday to pay for capital projects around the state.

Among them are an upgrade of Chicago’s elevated rail system, improvements to highways and university campuses and the purchase

Often when summer arrives, there’s a seasonal slowdown in news.

Seems like that changed in 17 seconds.

The Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup somewhat sooner than many thought, and before a parade could get underway, the entire Chicago area got socked with as much as 6 inches of rain, causing commuter problems everywhere.

Before you could dry off, the U.S Supreme Court struck down a provision in the Defense of Marriage Act and cleared the way for gay marriage as a states-rights issue.

When it rains it pours, and this time, there might be rainbows afterward.

• I’d been watching most of the Stanley Cup Playoff games, like a domesticated sports fan – at home. NHL fans know this is not a sport you can watch while doing other things.

VIEWS Kevin Lyons could miss everything – 17 seconds from losing to winning it all comes to mind.

The regular season drill in our house was to DVR the game and somehow convince the children that sleep is something they require. My shift began after they’d been relegated to their respective benches.

But there’s something unholy about watching the playoffs on delay.

So I’ve tried to watch while still responsible for two shorter individuals perplexed about why dad finds something on television more fascinating than them.

While my wife was away, I might have contributed to the expansion of their vocabulary in negative ways, particularly during Game 4.

A few days after her return, she hired a sitter so we could go out for

Game 6 and watch like grown-ups at Finn McCool’s in Crystal Lake.

Turned out to be a great move, and I’m lobbying NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman to get her name on the Stanley Cup just below Sheldon Brookbank’s.

• Gay-rights advocates are celebrating Wednesday’s Supreme Court ruling as a victory for gay marriage, which it certainly was. Some social conservatives and some religious organizations are decrying it as another example of the decaying of American morality.

Many of the rest of us are just tired of this being a fight and didn’t ask for any part of a Culture War. There are many cultures in this nation, and what this nation has tried to do with success and failure over centuries is accept them and treat them equally and respectfully whether we agree or disagree.

We are free to hold to religious convictions, and consenting adults should be free to marry under the law.

Churches shouldn’t be forced to accept

the government’s legal definition of marriage as religious doctrine nor should churches be allowed to impose their will on the majority of Americans.

Maybe Wednesday’s rulings signify a means to that end.

• For those of you who read my column a few weeks ago, I’m sad to say we lost my father-in-law, Jim McCandless, last week to his bout with lung cancer. We miss him dearly.

There isn’t time to thank all of the friends, family and strangers who sent encouraging messages, cards and phone calls with words of encouragement and promises of prayer. It was greatly appreciated and helpful to our family.

We’d like to think Jim is at peace piloting a boat in some celestial body heading for some beach somewhere.

Texas carries out its 500th execution since 1982

By JUAN A. LOZANO The Associated Press HUNTSVILLE, Texas – Texas marked a solemn moment in criminal justice Wednesday evening, executing its 500th inmate since it resumed carrying out capital punishment in 1982.

Kimberly McCarthy, who was put to death for the murder of her 71-year-old neighbor, was also the first woman executed in the U.S. in nearly three years.

Are you going to the Blackhawks Stanley Cup Championship parade?

at 6:37 p.m. CDT, 20 minutes after Texas prison officials began administering a single lethal dose of pentobarbital.

In her final statement, McCarthy did not mention her status as the 500th inmate to be executed or acknowledge Booth or her family.

“This is not a loss. This is a win. You know where I’m going. I’m going home to be with Jesus. Keep the faith. I love you all,” she said, while looking toward her witnesses — her attorney, her spiritual adviser and her ex-husband, New Black Panther Party

founder Aaron Michaels.

As the drug started to take effect, McCarthy said, “God is great,” before closing her eyes. She took hard, raspy, loud breaths for several seconds before becoming quiet.

Then, her chest moved up and down for another minute before she stopped breathing.

Friends and family of Booth told reporters after the execution that they were not conscious that Texas had carried out its 500th execution since 1982. They said their only focus was on Booth’s brutal murder.

Elgin battles street gang

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS – Midwestern rivers, including the Mississippi, are rising again after yet another round of heavy rain, forcing some flood-weary towns to prepare for their third significant flood since April. Parts of North Dakota got up to 8 inches of rain Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, parts of Iowa got 7 inches of rain, and other states from Wisconsin to Missouri were soaked as well.

The National Weather Service is projecting the Mississippi will reach above flood stage from Iowa south to about St. Louis.

LOUIS – Missouri and Illinois couldn’t agree on what to name a new Mississippi River bridge at St. Louis, so Congress is settling the divide by affixing the name of late Cardinals baseball great Stan Musial to the region’s first span across the Mississippi in more than four decades.

“Get them out!” Republican Sen. Donna Campbell shouted to a security guard. “... I want them out of here!”

As the crowd clapped and shouted “shame, shame, shame,” Dewhurst gathered Republican lawmakers around Secretary of the Senate Patsy Spaw to register their votes.

Democrats ran forward, holding up their cellphones, which showed it was past midnight.

But Dewhurst and other Republicans insisted the first vote was cast before midnight by the Legislature’s clock and that the bill had passed.

By the time decorum was restored and the 19-10 vote in favor of the measure was recorded, the clock read 12:03 a.m. Confusion took over: The Republicans had passed the bill, but did it count? Were the votes tallied in time?

Reporters checked the Senate’s official website and saw the vote registered on Wednesday, after the deadline. But a short time later, the website was updated to show the vote on Tuesday.

Sen. Chuy Hinojosa produced two official printouts of the vote, each showing a different day for the same vote.

CHAIR

AUSTIN, Texas – Gov. Rick Perry on Wednesday called a second special session of the Texas Legislature to pass widespread abortion restrictions across the nation’s second-largest state, after the first attempt by Republicans died overnight following a marathon one-woman filibuster.

Perry ordered lawmakers to meet again on July 1 to act on the abortion proposals, as well as separate bills that would boost highway funding and deal with a juvenile justice issue.

The sweeping abortion rules would close nearly all the state’s abortion clinics and impose other widespread restrictions.

Perry can call as many 30day extra sessions as he likes, but lawmakers can only take up those issues he assigns.

The debate over abortion restrictions led to the most chaotic day in the Texas Legislature in modern history, starting with a marathon filibuster and ending with a down-to-the wire, frenetic vote marked by questions about whether Republicans tried to break chamber rules

and jam the measure through.

Democrats put their hopes of thwarting the bill in the hands of Wendy Davis, a state senator clad in pink running shoes, for a daylong attempt to talk the bill to death. Over the duration of the speech, Davis became a social media star, even becoming the subject of a tweet from President Obama for her efforts.

But just before midnight, Republicans claimed she strayed off topic and got help with a back brace – two Texas Gov. things that are Rick Perry against filibuster rules – and cut her off.

That cleared the way for a vote.

But when Republican Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst shouted into the microphone, trying to call the final votes, nobody seemed to hear him. Some 400 supporters jammed into the gallery had taken their feet with a deafening roar, drowning out his voice. It was, as some claimed, a “people’s filibuster” – an attempt by protesters to finish what Davis had started more than 11 hours earlier.

matter for a vote. The sponsor of the measure, Democratic Rep. Greg Harris, said he simply didn’t have the votes needed in the Illinois House and wanted to give his colleagues more time to think it over in their home districts.

The move received some criticism from Chicago’s active gay rights lobby, which has made an intense push since last year. There was also short-lived talk of barring politicians from the city’s annual Pride Parade, scheduled for this weekend. The festive event attracts hundreds of thousands of people each year including elected officials and those running for office.

Harris said the court’s decision on Wednesday would only help, and a same-sex marriage bill would be revived in the fall session.

“Illinois must step up and join our brother and sister states,” Harris said. “It’s now more important than ever.”

But opponents of same-sex marriage said they would continue to fight efforts in Illinois. Earlier this year, several black megachurches were part of intense efforts to fight legislation in Springfield and launched aggressive robo-call campaigns.

One group, the African American Clergy Coalition, vowed to continue, saying that marriage is between one man and one woman.

“The people of the state of Illinois, along with 38 other states, still have the right to determine if gay marriage should become law in their respective states,” the group said in a statement.

CHICAGO – Advocates of gay marriage in Illinois celebrated landmark rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday, saying the clarity on a federal marriage act and California ban would benefit same-sex Illinois couples married in other states and fuel momentum to legalize gay marriage in President Barack Obama’s home state.

The high court struck down a key provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, meaning that legally married same-sex couples should get the same federal benefits as heterosexual couples. In a separate, narrower decision, the court also paved the way for same-sex marriage in California by holding that defenders of California’s gay marriage ban didn’t have the right to appeal rulings that struck down the ban.

The DOMA ruling is expected to affect numerous same-sex couples who were legally married in other states and live in Illinois, a number that’s not officially tracked but advocates estimate is in the thousands.

“I am thrilled beyond belief,” said Courtney Reid, a 51-year-old Illinois resident who married her longtime partner last year in New York. “It certainly means a lot for my wife and me.”

The benefits include filing joint taxes, receiving breaks on estate taxes and receiving Social Security survivor benefits. But there were still lingering questions about the ruling’s full impact on mar-

ried couples living in Illinois.

For example, immigration law focuses on where people married, but eligibility for survivor benefits essentially depends on where a married couple is at the time of a death.

Obama directed the Justice Department Wednesday to work with other executive branch agencies to begin implementing the court’s decision, so more guidance for states like Illinois may follow.

The Illinois Attorney General’s office is reviewing the decision for its impact on Illinois, according to a spokeswoman.

A couple that is legally married in another state and resides in Illinois is recognized as a civil union in the state, even if the couple hasn’t applied for one. The number of couples in civil unions in Illinois — who may or may not be legally married elsewhere — is roughly 5,300.

While advocates of gay marriage praised the decision on DOMA, several also said it was “bittersweet.” Illinois allowed civil unions in 2011 but hasn’t legalized gay marriage, despite a push from Obama, Gov. Pat Quinn, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and lobbying from well-organized gay rights groups.

“It just underscores the fight for the freedom to marry,” said Bernard Cherkasov, the CEO of Equality Illinois.

“We’re going to take that message to the lawmakers in our districts.”

Efforts to legalize gay marriage in Illinois were halted earlier this year when lawmakers decided not to call the

used it twice before – in 2010 against Latin Kings in Elgin and in 2012, against Aurora’s Latin Kings.

There’s a lower threshold of proof in civil cases. And defense lawyers criticize the 1993 civil law, saying it unfairly provides prosecutors a backdoor to curtail someone’s freedom of movement and association.

“You are taking away rights without the due process we get in criminal courts,” said Elgin-based criminal attorney, Liam Dixon, who has represented gang members in the Kane County cases.

CHICAGO – Elgin is flexing some legal muscle and facing off against street gang activity in an uncommon venue: civil court.

Elgin, in a lawsuit recently filed on its behalf by the Kane County prosecutor, is seeking an injunction that would bar 25 reputed members of the Maniac Latin Disciples from associating with each other.

The 38-page suit also asks a judge to prohibit members from engaging in a lengthy list of other activities, from showing gang hand signs and carrying spray-paint cans to wearing hats emblazoned with the letter ‘D.’ “When there are criminal penalties, we can pressure gangs in criminal court,” Kane County State’s Attor-

ney Joe McMahon told The Associated Press in a phone interview Wednesday. “The civil suit is another tool that’s available.”

Chicago remains the regional hub of street-gang activity, but gangs have increasingly moved into surrounding suburbs like Elgin as demographics shift and gangs bid for new drug markets.

Prosecutors typically go after gangs using criminal drug, gun or racketeering statutes.

But Elgin, which has a population of about 100,000 people, is using Illinois’ 1993 Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act, meant to thwart gangs via civil injunctions.

Broad immigration bill cruising to Senate passage The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Far-reaching immigration legislation cruised toward passage in the Senate as House Republicans pushed ahead Wednesday on a different approach that cracks down on millions living in the United States illegally rather than offering them a chance at citizenship.

Presidential politics took a more prominent role in a long-running national debate as Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., tried to reassure conservatives that many of the

criticisms of the bill, which he helped write, are “just not true.”

The potential 2016 White House contender said in remarks on the Senate floor it has been difficult for him “to hear the worry and the anxiety and the growing anger in the voices of so many people who helped me get elected to the Senate and who I agree with on virtually every other issue.”

The political impact of the issue aside, there was no doubt that the Senate bill was on track for passage by Thursday or Friday.

Supporters posted 67 votes or more on each of three procedural tests Wednesday, far more than the 60 needed to prevail. More than a dozen Republicans sided with Democrats on each, assuring bipartisan support that the bill’s backers hope will change minds in the House.

At its core, the legislation includes numerous steps to prevent future illegal immigration, while at the same time it offers a chance at citizenship for millions living in the country illegally.

It provides for 20,000 new Border Patrol agents, requires

the completion of 700 miles of fencing and requires an array of high-tech devices be deployed to secure the border with Mexico.

Businesses would be required to check on the legal status of prospective employees. The government would be ordered to install a high-tech system to check on the comings and goings of foreigners at selected international airport in the United States.

Other provisions would expand the number of visas for highly skilled workers relied upon by the technology industry. A separate program

would be established for lower-skilled workers, and farm workers would be admitted under a temporary program.

Some farm workers who are in the country illegally can qualify for a green card, which bestows permanent residency status, in five years.

Many of the bill’s supporters also cheered a ruling from the Supreme Court that said married gay couples are entitled to the same federal benefits as heterosexual couples.

The decision would allow gay married citizens or permanent residents to sponsor their foreign-born spouses for U.S. res-

idency, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano pledged to implement it.

The basic legislation was drafted by four Democrats and four Republicans who met privately for months to produce a rare bipartisan compromise in a polarized Senate. They fended off unwanted changes in the Senate Judiciary Committee, and then were involved in negotiations with Republican Sens. John Hoeven of North Dakota and Bob Corker of Tennessee on a package of tougher border security provisions that swelled support among Republicans.

IRS also delayed action on progressive groups, leaders say year or more to get your status because that’s just what the IRS goes through to do it,” said Maryann Martindale, executive director of Alliance for a Better Utah, a small nonprofit that advocates for progressive causes.

The IRS has been under siege since the agency revealed last month that agents had improperly targeted tea party and other conservative groups for additional, often burdensome scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status during the 2010 and 2012 elections.

This week, the IRS released documents showing that progressive and liberal groups may have been singled out as well.

On Wednesday, Nina Olson, the National Taxpayer Advocate, issued a report saying the IRS long has resisted efforts by her office to help groups seeking tax-exempt status, creating a culture that

Transit passengers eat at a cafe Wednesday with a TV screen airing a news program about Edward Snowden in the background at Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden has remained in Sheremetyevo’s transit zone, but media that descended on the airport in the search for him couldn’t locate him there.

Eyes on airport as mystery of Snowden’s location deepens The ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW – Moscow’s main airport swarmed with journalists from around the globe Wednesday, but the man they were looking for, National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, was nowhere to be seen.

The mystery of his whereabouts only deepened a day after President Vladimir Putin said that Snowden was in the transit area of Sheremetyevo Airport.

There were ordinary scenes of duty free shopping, snoozing travelers and tourists sipping coffee but no trace of America’s most famous fugitive.

If Putin’s statement is true, it means that Snowden has effectively lived a life of airport limbo since his weekend flight from Hong Kong, especially with his American passport now revoked by U.S. authorities.

Adding to the uncertainty, Ecuador’s foreign minister said it could take up to two months to decide whether to grant asylum to Snowden and the Latin American nation would take into consideration its relations with the U.S. Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino compared Snowden’s case to that of Julian Assange, the founder of anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, who has been given asylum in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London.

“It took us two months to make a decision in the case of Assange, so do not expect us to make a decision sooner this time,” Patino told reporters during a visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

However, later in the day he said on Twitter that the decision could happen “in a day, a week, or, as happened with Assange, it could take two months.”

Snowden, who is charged with violating American espionage laws, fled Hong Kong over the weekend and flew to Russia. He booked a seat on a Havana-bound flight Monday en route to Venezuela, but didn’t board the plane. His ultimate destination was believed to be Ecuador.

Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa shot back at critics on Wednesday, taking special aim at a Washington Post editorial that described him as “the autocratic leader of tiny, impoverished Ecuador” and accused him of a double standard for considering asylum for Snowden while stifling critics at home.

“The shamelessness of the century: Washington Post accuses Ecuador of double standard,” Correa said on his Twitter page.

As a contractor for the NSA, Snowden gained access to documents that he gave to the Post and the Guardian to expose what he contends are privacy violations by an au-

thoritarian government.

Correa complained that the international press “has managed to focus attention on Snowden and on those ‘wicked’ countries that ‘aid’ him, making us forget the terrible things against the U.S. people and the whole world that he denounced.”

An Associated Press reporter entered the transit area where Snowden is purportedly staying by flying from Kiev, Ukraine. It serves both connecting passengers traveling via Moscow to onward destinations and passengers departing from Moscow who have passed border and security checks.

The transit zone unites three terminals: the modern, recently built D and E, and the older, less comfortable F, which dates to the Soviet era.

Boarding gates line one side of the transit and departure area, and gleaming duty free shops, luxury clothing boutiques and souvenir stores selling Russian Matryoshka dolls are on the other. About a dozen restaurants owned by local and foreign chains serve various tastes.

Hundreds of Russian and foreign tourists awaited flights on Wednesday, some stretched out on rows of gray chairs, others sipping hot drinks at coffee shops or watching through giant windows as silver-blue Aeroflot planes landed and took off.

spokesman for the Army general.

There have been no U.S. military trainers in Iraq since troops left at the end of 2011, as the war there ended. But the U.S. has provided military training and assistance to Lebanon for a number of years.

sition hopes that the powerful generals will protect their protests Sunday in an implicit show of support. Morsi’s supporters accuse the opposition of fomenting a coup. Speaking at a giant conference hall packed with people, Morsi reminded his audience that “all agree” that the president is the supreme commander of the armed forces.

“There are some who don’t want the armed forces and the presidency to have a healthy relationship,” Morsi said. “All state institutions work in harmony and with discipline under the leadership of the head of state.”

The audience, packed with Cabinet members, officials from Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood and other supporters, cheered his remarks on the military.

WASHINGTON – Leaders of progressive groups say they, too, faced long delays in getting the Internal Revenue Service to approve their applications for tax-exempt status but were not subjected to the same level of scrutiny that tea party groups complained about.

Several progressive groups said it took more than a year for the IRS to approve their status while others are still waiting as IRS agents press for details about their activities. The delays have made it difficult for the groups to raise money – just as it has for tea party groups that were singled out for extra scrutiny. But even with the delays, leaders of some progressive groups said they didn’t feel like they were being targeted.

“This is kind of what you expect. You expect it to take a

enabled agents to improperly target such organizations.

The IRS responded by promising to work more closely with Olson’s office.

J. Russell George, the agency’s inspector general, released a widely-read report on the targeting of conservative groups last month. A day later President Barack Obama forced acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller to resign. George is coming under fire from congressional Democrats because his report made no mention of progressive groups being targeted.

“There is increasing evidence that the May 14, 2013, audit was fundamentally flawed and that your handling of it has failed to meet the necessary test of objectivity and forthrightness,” Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, wrote in a letter to George on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON – U.S. military commanders have been told to explore ways to increase security assistance to Lebanon and Iraq, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs said Wednesday, as the violence in Syria spills across the borders and the Iraqis face growing threats from the local al-Qaida offshoot.

Gen. Martin Dempsey said the assistance is aimed at improving the two nations’ military capabilities and could include sending in U.S. training teams and accelerating foreign military sales of weapons and equipment to Iraq and Lebanon.

Dempsey made the recommendation to U.S. Central Command in recent weeks, according to Air Force Col. Ed Thomas, a

Weather service: Flooding will be slow to subside Court overturns • FLOODS Continued from page A1 At least half a dozen neighbors saw water fill the lower level of their homes after 6 inches of rain fell in a matter of hours. They were some of the people around McHenry County who had to deal with flooding issues as 4 to 6 inches of rain fell Wednesday morning.

The storm forced Metra to close the McHenry branch between McHenry and Crystal Lake as Union Pacific workers made repairs to the embankment supports underneath the tracks.

Metra said on its website that service on the McHenry branch has been fully restored and trains will operate on schedule for Thursday’s morning rush hour.

The National Weather Service extended its flash flood warning until 10 a.m. Thursday. No additional heavy rain is expected, but flooding will be slow to subside across the area, the weather service said.

On Wednesday, roads were closed or deemed impassable because of the high waters. At points during the day, people were asked to avoid Route 22 in Fox River Grove, Route 31 between Bull Valley Road and Route 120 in McHenry, and Route 176 in front of the Countryside Flower Shop in Crystal Lake, among others.

As of 9:30 p.m., the Fox River was at 10.72 feet at the Algonquin Tailwater. Flood

Rainfall from Wednesday morning totaled several inches throughout the county, according to the weather service. That includes more than 6 inches of rain in Cary, 4.5 inches in Crystal Lake, 4.4 inches in McHenry, 4 inches in Woodstock and more than 2.5 inches in Algonquin.

The McHenry County Department of Health placed all public beaches on a heavy rain advisory due to the increased potential for high bacteria counts.

Residents are encouraged to refrain from swimming two to three days after heavy rainfall. The beaches will be tested for bacteria levels on Thursday.

The Country Club Estates in McHenry had to close to all traffic for about an hour and 20

minutes after a pole with multiple transformers fell over, police said.

Sgt. Brian McKeen said about 4:45 p.m. emergency personnel responded to a call of a pole leaning over a pond.

The pole was being held up by some wires that eventually gave way. One of the transformers fell into the water, leading to a “brilliant flash of light,” McKeen said.

The pole was situated on an embankment of the pond, but with the high amount of water Wednesday, the bank around the pole washed out, McKeen said.

ComEd was on scene to help clean up and relocate the pole.

There was some power outages, but localized to the Country Club Estates, McKeen said.

The village of Lakewood encouraged residents to min-

imize their use of water over the next 24 hours, according to a news release. The recommendation aims to decrease the possibility of water backups due to overuse.

In Bull Valley, Village Administrator Rich Vance said a 60-foot-long, 8-foot-wide walking bridge over Boone Creek at the Boone Creek Golf Course was washed away.

In Lake in the Hills, water flowed over Willow Street west of Council Trail, which closed the roadway.

Lake in the Hills police officer Larry Wright said he had not seen flooding this bad since the Midwest floods of 1993.

In Lake Barrington, emergency personnel started a recovery operation after a man and a dog were reported in Flint Creek. The man was seen with his head above the water, and the dog was past him, said Barrington Fire Lt. Mike Brown. Both were floating downstream with the current.

Nunda Township resident Glen Gabel lives on a private road off Terra Cotta Road.

He spent all of Wednesday morning bailing water out of his window.

“Everything is washed out,” Gabel said. “Around my house I have two retention ponds, and they are at the highest levels I have ever seen, and I have lived here for 45 years.”

murder conviction

By JULIE WATSON The Associated Press SAN DIEGO – The military’s highest court overturned a murder conviction Wednesday against a Camp Pendleton Marine in one of the most significant cases against American troops from the Iraq war.

The Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces threw out the conviction of Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins III of Plymouth, Mass., who has served about half of his 11-year sentence.

According to the ruling posted on the court’s website, the judges agreed with Hutchins, who claimed his constitutional rights were violated when he was held in solitary confinement without access to a lawyer for seven days during his 2006 interrogation in Iraq. The decision is seen as a major blow to the military’s prosecution of Iraqi war crimes.

Hutchins led an eight-man

Quinn: ‘As I’ve warned repeatedly, this is an emergency’ • RATING Continued from page A1 land for a suburban airport south of Chicago.

Gov. Pat Quinn’s office announced the costs of the bond sale, explaining that the $130 million – to be paid over the 25-year life of the bonds – is the difference between what

Ex

per

the state paid this week and what it would have paid when it had a better credit rating just three years ago. It has the worst rating of any state in the nation.

“Legislative inertia has a price, and today the price for taxpayers was an extra $130 million,” Quinn said in a statement. “As I’ve warned repeatedly, this is an emer-

gency.”

State Treasurer Dan Rutherford said his office calculated that Illinois is paying $235 million more than it would have paid when it enjoyed a high credit rating in the early 1990s.

There have been 13 downgrades for Illinois over the past four years by multiple agencies, all tied to the Leg-

islature’s inaction on pension reform.

Rutherford, a Republican who has announced a challenge to Quinn in next year’s election, said another ratings downgrade is likely in store if lawmakers continue to punt on the pension issue.

Quinn has given them a new deadline of July 9 to come up with a solution.

squad accused of kidnapping an Iraqi man from his home in April 2006, marching him to a ditch and shooting him to death in the village of Hamdania.

Hutchins said he thought the man – who turned out to be a retired policeman – was an insurgent leader. Prosecutors accused the squad of planting a shovel and AK-47 to make it appear he was an insurgent. None of the other seven squad members served more than 18 months.

The move is the latest in a series of twists and turns for Hutchins, whose case was overturned once by a lower court three years ago.

The lower court ruled Hutchins’ 2007 trial was unfair because his lead defense lawyer quit before it began.

The military’s highest court disagreed and reinstated Hutchins’ conviction in 2011, sending him back to the brig after eight months working at a desk job at California’s Camp Pendleton.

Can’t count on sin taxes Illinois’ $1-a-pack increase in cigarette taxes isn’t bringing in the kind of money that lawmakers had expected in its first year.

The increase raised the state excise tax on a pack of cigarettes from 98 cents to $1.98. The tax increase is expected to bring in $212 million in extra money for the current fiscal year, almost 40 percent less than the $350 million officials projected when it took effect last For the record June.

That’s both Many governments would be good and bad left with gaping holes in their news. On the one budgets if Americans suddenly hand, it means saw the light and decided to that more people give up smoking, drinking and have used the gambling en masse. tax increase as an excuse to quit smoking or to smoke less. On the other, it means that the state is collecting less money than it hoped from smokers as it seeks to meet its financial obligations. Cigarette tax revenue goes into the state’s general fund, Medicaid program and School Infrastructure Fund.

Such is the pitfall inherent in using sin taxes to balance budgets. Smokers make up about 20 percent of the state’s population and can be completely alienated without costing anyone an election. But when taxes make the “sin” more expensive, the sinners are more likely to cut back or quit.

Politicians like to point to increasing tobacco and other sin taxes as a means of making people change their behavior.

In reality, many governments would be left with gaping holes in their budgets if Americans suddenly saw the light and decided to give up smoking, drinking and gambling en masse.

In the case of smoking, taxing the habit out of existence might be the only way to make people stop doing it. Decades of warnings from the Surgeon General and pushing smokers off of airplanes, restaurants and bars and into the back alleys have not been enough.

However, if politicians want to make smoking prohibitively expensive, they probably shouldn’t count on the revenue to balance their budgets.

Farm bill optimism Congressman Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., is discouraged by the defeat of the farm bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, but he’s still optimistic.

That might sound like a contradiction, but Cramer, now six months as North Dakota’s lone member of the House, thinks there is too much at stake in the new bill to allow it to die.

Here’s hoping he’s right.

If the bill is lost in the House (the Senate has passed a sensible, balanced bill), there are a couple of fallback options, none of them good. The first is extending the extension of the current farm bill. The second is no extension and reversion to the 1949 base farm support program on which farm legislation has been built for decades. Both options are bad news for farmers, consumers and Americans who depend on nutrition programs.

Extension of the current bill next year would be only that: another extension of undetermined length. Unpredictability in support programs is not what farm lenders want to see.

Secondly, would-be reformers in the House and Senate would end up with no reforms. Cuts in food stamp benefits and direct payments to farmers would not happen.

With no new farm bill and no extension of the old one, the farm program would revert to the base 1949 ag program. Because of outdated crop support formulas in the old law, prices for many major commodities could skyrocket.

For example, one analysis predicts retail milk prices would double.

There is plenty of blame to go around in the House’s surprising defeat of the farm bill.

When the votes were tallied, 172 Democrats joined 62 Republicans in turning down the fiveyear bill.

The bipartisan mistake came about in part, Cramer said, because individual members had narrow agendas and voted those agendas rather than support the compromise legislation. Democrats didn’t like food stamp cuts.

Republicans defied their leadership – Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor – and voted “no.” The Republican revolt was startling because Boehner and Cantor supported the bill, a first for them.

It’s a mess. It’s confirmation of the ideological-driven paralysis in Congress, most evident in the House. Cramer, who voted for the bill despite flaws, said he came to Congress to get things done, not to stymie the lawmaking process. Still, the freshman congressman is hopeful. He believes a deal still can be struck.

We hope so. Farmers, ag lenders and the businesses and small-town main streets that depend on a stable farm economy are waiting.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Common sense To the Editor: The Soviet Communists professed “freedom and equality for all humanity.” President Obama talks about fairness, equality and social justice.

President Obama insists his policies are driven by a “commonsense” approach. He also speaks in terms of “we the people” and “the government is us.” Such declarations are comparable to old Soviet posters for all to see: “All power belongs to the people,” and “People and Communist Party are one.” But the real power in the USSR was in the hands of Communist Party leaders. They, in the name of the people, defined foes of centralized government as “enemies of the people.”

Similarly, the Department of Homeland Security has defined right-wing extremists as “those that are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state/local authority.”

The National Security Agency has specified that in addition to gun owners and veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, right-wing extremists also “may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.” At the IRS, potential terrorists needing extra scrutiny are tea party/patriot groups that want the government to follow the American founders’ documents.

But while President Obama’s use of rhetoric, social policies and intimidation has a lot in common

with Soviet Communists, his administration doesn’t rationalize all means of America’s production.

“If you talk to us, it turns out we’re pretty common-sense folks,” Obama said.

Crony capitalism as practiced by his administration is “the merger of corporate and government power.”

Wake up, America To the Editor: Can Congress cooperate on anything?

OK, Democrats, you still have abortion rights, but do them before 20 weeks, which the Republicans want. Do not procrastinate.

In the meantime, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, and the middle class are hanging on by our nails.

Former President Eisenhower – an ex-military man himself – warned Americans about the military’s never ending thirst. So true now.

And big corporations seem to be running the show. To heck with clean air or clean water or anything to do with our environment. As if we could survive without clean air or clean water. Of course, the rich and powerful could find some somewhere.

Apparently, all these things are not as important to Congress as President Obama’s birth certificate.

Still? And all mishaps are his fault now. Never mind how much went on before without a peep.

Listen, we are all to blame for not voting or for voting for the same ones over and over again. For pointing out the other guys’ mistakes and not seeing our own. This is what our young people see – the collapse of common sense and logic intertwined with cooperation going, going, gone.

It’s like those feudal times of kings, queens, dukes and lords.

To heck with the peasants. Again there’s trouble in the air.

Wake up.

VAC should stay put To the Editor: The Veterans Assistance Commission of McHenry County (VAC) exists to help veterans and their families.

It is made up of all the service organizations, such as the VFWs, American Legions, PLAV, Marine Corps League and VietNow. The VAC assists with claims for injuries due to their service, and provides financial assistance, furnishes transportation to Lovell FHCC to qualified veterans in

McHenry County. It is my understanding that their budget is about $600,000, but last year it returned more than $1.5 million in claims won. It appears to be very cost effective.

It has a space issue that needs to be addressed (one office is 5 feet by 7 feet). The County Board had pretty much agreed and had a space picked out. That seems to have hit a snag. It now wants to move VAC out of the current building completely. There is a Vietnam memorial out in front of the current space that gives veterans entering the knowledge that they are appreciated. A lot of the clients suffer from PTSD and need a comfortable, secure space to talk to service officers.

I’m asking all veterans, families of veterans, and anyone concerned about veterans to contact their County Board representatives.

Remember, there are four in each district, and let them know that you support the VAC staying in the administrative building.

It pays well to hold a state job in Illinois SPRINGFIELD – Every once in a while, you’ll hear some hokum about how poor and underpaid state workers are.

I’m not buying it, and neither should you.

In a recent study conducted by my colleagues at the Illinois Policy Institute, salaries for a variety of state jobs were compared with those in the private sector.

On average, people holding blue-collar jobs are paid far more working for the state of Illinois than they would if they were working for a private business doing the same job.

Putting it bluntly, going to work for the state can be a pretty good deal, particularly if you don’t have a lot of education.

Just consider: • The average salary for a state-employed janitor is $49,771, compared with the private sector state average of $26,290.

• The average salary of a state-employed barber is $73,123,

VIEWS Scott Reeder compared with the private sector state average of $35,340.

• The average salary for a state-employed cook is $51,224, compared with a private sector state average of $24,670.

It’s the same story with a host of other jobs. Welders make an average of $37,820 in the private sector, compared with $49,771 working for state government.

Painters make $50,830 in the private sector, but collect an average of $67,700 working for the state.

And it’s those private-sector employees who are paying taxes to support state workers in a lifestyle grander than they will likely achieve themselves.

That’s not right, said Carl Joe Tomizoli, a janitor working in

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

a private building only a block away from the Illinois Capitol.

“Maybe those janitors working for the state should make $30,000 – with benefits. But there is no way they are worth $49,000,” he said.

Tomizoli said his privatesector job requires him to do much more than his counterparts with the state. He said he is paid $11 per hour and receives no benefits.

“You do what you have to do to support your family,” said Tomizoli, 45, who has done custodial work for 15 years in addition to holding a variety of odd jobs.

By the way, these aforementioned salary comparisons don’t count retirement benefits.

State workers get pensions in retirement that not only guarantee a certain income, but also are enhanced with annual cost-ofliving adjustments. (That’s one of the main reasons the state is in dire financial straits.)

On the other hand, 80 percent of private sector employees have defined contribution plans, such as IRAs and 401(k)s, where there are no guarantees of a particular payouts.

And you guessed it – it is those private-sector employees who are paying taxes to support the retirements of state workers.

The state has divorced itself from economic realities. Know a business that gives out raises to most of its employees while it’s teetering on insolvency?

Me neither.

But that’s what the state of Illinois is doing – with our money.

It’s time for state leadership to wake up and smell economic reality.

Lots to sort out on gay marriage ADVERTISEMENT

By NANCY BENAC The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Two landmark Supreme Court rulings that bolster gay marriage rights don’t remove all barriers to same-sex unions by a long shot. Where gay couples live still will have a lot to do with how they’re treated.

Some questions and answers about the court rulings:

Q: Can you boil down these two big rulings – 104 pages in all – to the basics?

A: In one case, the court said legally married gay couples are entitled to the same federal benefits available to straight couples. In the other, it cleared the way for gay marriages to resume in California, where voters banned them in 2008.

Q: What type of benefits are we talking about?

A: More than you’d expect.

There are more than 1,000 federal laws in which marital status matters, covering everything from income and inheritance taxes to health benefits and pensions. In states where gay marriage is legal, same-sex couples may actual-

ly be looking forward to filing their income taxes next April – married, filing jointly.

ples in the U.S. have been legally married?

A: The numbers are

Q. Why does it matter where a gay couple lives?

A: Even with Wednesday’s

squishy. The Pew Research Center estimates there have been at least 71,000 legal marriages since 2004, when Massachusetts became the first state to legalize them, but says there are almost certainly more. The Williams Institute, a UCLA-based think tank, says approximately 114,000 couples are legally married and more than 108,000 are in civil unions or registered domestic partnerships. In California alone, 18,000 same-sex couples were married during the 142-day period when gay unions were legal there in 2008.

ruling, where legally married gay couples live still may affect the federal benefits they can obtain, at least for now.

Social Security survivor benefits, for example, depend on where a couple is living when a spouse dies. If that happens in a state that bans or does not recognize the union, it’s not for sure that the surviving spouse will be entitled to the payments.

Q: What does the U.S. marriage map look like right now?

A: It’s a patchwork. Samesex marriage is legal in 12 states and the District of Columbia – representing 18 percent of the U.S. population.

When gay marriage resumes in California, the figure will jump to 30 percent. Twenty-nine other states have constitutional amendments that ban gay marriage. Six states have laws that ban it. Two states neither allow gay marriage nor ban it.

Q: How many same-sex cou-

Q: What’s all this talk about DOMA? A: DOMA is the federal Defense of Marriage Act, enacted in 1996. The court on Wednesday struck down a section of that law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman for purposes of federal law. That’s what had denied legally married gay couples access to a host of federal benefits and programs that are available to straight couples.

Decision wipes away key provision of DOMA • MARRIAGE Continued from page A1 As the mother of a son who is gay and the leader of a local chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, Weaver has been waiting a long time for Wednesday’s landmark decision.

“The law now recognizes that these loving relationships are as valid as the relationship my husband and I have had for 43 years,” said Weaver, whose wedding anniversary, coincidentally, falls on that of the Stonewall riots, which sparked the modern gay-rights movement.

The high court decision wiped away a key provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, meaning legally married same-sex couples will get the same federal benefits as heterosexual couples.

The DOMA ruling affects same-sex couples who were legally married in other states and live in Illinois, a number that’s not officially tracked but advocates estimate is in the thousands.

In a separate, narrower decision, the court also paved the way for same-sex marriage in California by holding that Cal-

ifornia’s Proposition 8 is unconstitutional. That outcome probably will allow state officials to order the resumption of same-sex weddings in the nation’s most populous state in about a month.

In a written statement, Catholic Bishop of the Rockford Diocese David J. Malloy said he was disappointed in the outcome of the federal marriage case and called the ruling “a tremendous misstep for the direction of our country.” Catholic teaching holds that marriage is between a man and a woman.

“While this ruling may seem to open the door to further acceptance of a definition of marriage that is contrary to natural law, it does not change our freedom to disagree,” he said. “It cannot and will not ever change what is written in our faith and in our human design. … Our moral compass is set by a higher power than that of any court.”

Same-sex marriage has been adopted by 12 states and the District of Columbia. Massachusetts was the first state to allow gay couples to marry, in 2004.

When same-sex unions resume in California, there will be 13 states representing 30

percent of the U.S. population where gay marriage is legal.

The 11 others are Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.

Illinois allowed civil unions in 2011, but efforts were halted earlier this year when lawmakers decided not to call the matter for a vote. The sponsor of the measure, Democratic state Rep. Greg Harris, said he simply didn’t have the votes needed in the Illinois House.

Weaver, who also is president of PFLAG’s Northern Illinois Council, said she hopes the ruling will signal a changing tide, one that state lawmakers will notice.

“The hope is that between now and when the [Illinois] General Assembly reconvenes, that this ruling today will make a significant difference on the part of those members of the Illinois House,” Weaver said. “That they will have a change of mind, that they will have a change of heart and will cast a ‘yes’ vote.

“We made a huge step, but the fight is not over.”

Television host and best selling author Dr. Bryce Wylde explains how a new aloe-vera extract can make bouts of heartburn, acid-reflux, constipation, gas, bloating, diarrhea, and other stomach nightmares disappear!

By Jonathan Wexler, Freelance Health Reporter

R

ecently, alternative medicine expert Dr. Bryce Wylde, a frequent guest on the Dr. Oz show, revealed a simple secret that amazed millions who sufer with digestion nightmares. And people haven’t stopped talking about it since.

“I’d give anything to make it stop!” hat’s what most people will tell you when asked about their digestive problems. “It’s just horrible says Ralph Burns, a former digestion victim. I was tortured for years by my AcidRelux. Sometimes I’d almost pass out from the pain. My wife sufers with digestion problems too. If she eats one wrong thing, she spends hours stuck in the bathroom dealing with severe bouts of constipation or diarrhea.”

A recent FDA warning explained that excessive use of antacids could lead to an increased risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures.

Especially in people over the age of 50.

So when alternative medicine expert Dr. Bryce Wylde discussed an alternative on National TV, you can imagine how thrilled people were to ind out they could inally get relief without having to rely on Prevecid®, Nexium®, Prilosec® and other dangerous antacids. But now, according to Dr. Wylde, your stomach problems could be over by simply drinking a small amount of a tasty Aloe Vera extract. It’s as simple as that!

Finally here’s Hope...

At irst, the thought of drinking aloe vera might make some people back away. But in fact, this delicious “digestion cocktail” is doing amazing things for people who sufer with stomach problems --- even if they’ve had them for years. Here’s how it works…

Stop Stomach Agony Your stomach naturally produces acid so strong, it can dissolve an aluminum spoon in just 30 minutes! And when excess acid escapes into your esophagus, throat and stomach lining, it unleashes the scorching pain of Acid-Relux, heartburn, ulcers and more misery. Add the problems of stress, and “all hell breaks loose.”

®

Until Now, Little Could Be Done... ®

But “AloeCure can help virtually anyone.

Even people with chronic stomach pain can feel better right away,” says Dr. Leal. And what’s really exciting is AloeCure aids in keeping your digestive tract healthy, so intestinal distress stops coming back.

AloeCure may be the most important application ever discovered for digestive health!

Real Customer Testimonial: For the better part of my life I purposely avoided a lot of foods. Especially ones with even a tiny bit of seasoning. Because if I didn't, I'd experience a burning sensation through my esophagus- like somebody poured hot lead or battery acid down my throat. Add to that those disgusting "mini-throw ups" and I was in "indigestion hell".

Doctors put me on all sorts of antacid remedies. But nothing worked. Or if they did, it would only be for a brief period. And then boom! My nightmare would return. hen one day at dinner, a friend of mine said, "Why don't you try an aloe drink?" I said, "Aloe drink? Jeez. hat doesn't sound good at all!" he next day he brought me a case of something called AloeCure . ®

I was shocked! AloeCure tasted pretty good too. It has a pleasant grape lavor that I actually enjoy drinking. I decided to experiment. I stopped taking the PPIs altogether and replaced it with a daily diet of AloeCure . hen something remarkable happened - NOTHING! Not even the slightest hint of indigestion. ®

And here's the best part. he next day we had Italian food - my worst enemy.

But for the irst time in 40 years I didn't need pills or tablets to avoid indigestion. hank you AloeCure !

D-46 talks raise questions Attorney says board went too far with discussions in closed sessions

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com PRAIRIE GROVE – The District 46 school board went too far in what it discussed behind closed doors, an open government attorney said.

The board met nine times behind closed doors from Nov. 13, 2012, through April 23, 2013, as it dealt with a one-day teachers strike, a contentious April election and the exodus of district staff.

The minutes for six of those closed sessions were released at the board’s

During those meetings, the school board discussed what should have been public policy decisions, including changes in the junior high’s master schedule in light of declining enrollment and teacher retirements, and the reorganization of district

positions, such as the curriculum assessment and learning coordinator, said Don Craven, an attorney for the Illinois Press Association.

The minutes were reviewed by the district’s attorney before being released, and no questions or concerns were raised, Superintendent Lynette Zimmer said in an email.

Most of the items discussed over that time period fell under the employment and negotiation exemptions of the Open Meetings Act, she said.

The discussions on the master

Zimmer did not return multiple emails or phone calls requesting further comment.

D-200 HR director honored by CL man resurrects United Way as top volunteer Organization recognizes district as one of quest to top fundraisers for several years in a row own hens

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN

sshinneman@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – The United Way of Greater McHenry County has named a District 200 employee as its Volunteer of the Year, citing the district’s annual appearance as one of the organization’s top fundraisers.

The award went to Teresa Dailey, District 200 director of human resources, who has overseen efforts to collect donations toward United Way from district employees.

“I was extraordinarily surprised by the recognition,” Dailey said.

“And I was very pleased, but it’s an honor that belongs to a bunch of individuals. There are a lot of people that help when we conduct our annual campaign.”

District 200 has brought in the most funds for United Way of all McHenry County school districts several years in a row, said Steve Otten, executive director of United Way of Greater McHenry County.

United Way is a community-

focused organization that supports 48 human service programs in McHenry County through 24 agencies.

About 98 percent of the organization’s net Teresa Dailey income gets put back into the county, covering services such as senior day care and nutrition programs, counseling and emergency food and shelter.

Last year, about one in four greater McHenry County residents, or about 84,000 total, were helped by a partner agency of the United Way, according to the organization.

GOP seeks tax breaks for students’ families

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – State Republican lawmakers want to expand tax deductions and introduce a new tax credit for middle-class families with students in Illinois schools.

Republican state Reps. Robert Pritchard of Hinckley and Tom Demmer of Dixon unveiled the plan Wednesday at Northern Illinois University with House Minority Leader Tom Cross of Oswego; Joe Sosnowski of Belvidere; Mike Fortner of West Chicago; and Kay Hatcher of Yorkville.

“The state has disinvested in higher education for more than a decade, to the point that public universities now receive less than a quarter of their operating funds from the state,” Pritchard said. “Colleges and uni-

versities are forced to trim expenses and increase tuition. ...

That’s creating a lot of stress.”

Republicans unveiled their plan at Tom Cross the Sky Room at NIU, where incoming undergraduate students from Illinois who take 15 credit hours will pay $302 a credit hour, or $9,071 annually after a 2 percent tuition increase that was apRobert proved June 20.

Pritchard The Republicans are proposing to give in-state families earning less than $150,000 a year an income tax credit of up to $1,000 if they have a child attending an accredited Illinois school. The tax cred-

it is not limited to undergraduates either.

The credit would apply to students who are attending an Illinois university or college that is sanctioned by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission to receive Monetary Award Program grants, which are used by students to pay for educational expenses. However, students who receive the MAP grant are not eligible for the tax credit.

The lawmakers also are hoping to extend availability of tax deductions for investing in 529 education-savings programs. Currently, residents are able to deduct their taxes if they invest in a specific public 529 program.

Pritchard and others are hoping to extend that deduction to all kinds of savings programs, public or private.

Wants change to city code regarding animals

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Erik Blome wants the chickens to come home to roost.

Two years after the Crystal Lake resident tried to change city code to allow homeowners to keep hens, Blome is ready to resurrect his efforts with a petition he plans to circulate during Crystal Lake’s Independence Day parade.

Just as he did the first time he lobbied for hens, Blome said allowing the farm animals would offer public health benefits by giving people the ability to control their own food sources and keep control with city officials, who could impose limitations as they see fit and create revenue through annual permits for hen ownership.

But Blome said he already has run into hurdles with the city as officials have told him there are no plans to

Several area police departments have announced their plans for Fourth of July traffic enforcement, focusing on both drunken and unbuckled drivers.

Participating departments include Lake in the Hills, Spring Grove and Woodstock.

The effort will focus on late-night hours, as statistics show a disproportionate number of traffic deaths occur late at night and involve drunken drivers or unbuckled motorists.

The Illinois State Police and hundreds of police and sheriff’s offices will join in

Important tips to remember

n Plan ahead. Designate a sober driver before going out and give that person the keys. n If you are drunk, call a taxi, use mass transit or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely.

n Promptly report drunken drivers on the roadways to law enforcement by pulling over and dialing 911. n Check to make sure everyone in your vehicle wears a seat belt.

the statewide enforcement effort that begins Friday and runs through July 7.

It is part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns.

To avoid a potential crash or drunken driving arrest, the police departments rec-

ommend designating a sober driver and not letting friends or family members drive drunk.

The law enforcement crackdown is funded by federal traffic safety funds through Illinois Department of Transportation’s Division of Traffic Safety.

Closed meeting minutes raise concerns Shepley: ‘This is really a nonissue’ • D-46 Continued from page B1 employment, compensation, discipline, performance or dismissal of specific employees under the state’s Open Meetings Act. Reorganizing a position or deciding whether to fill a vacancy do not fall into those categories, Craven said.

“There are concerns raised by these minutes,” Craven said. “They’re not the worst that I’ve seen, but there are clearly some points where they’re going too far. They’re talking about things in a closed session that are clearly policy issues. They should be

discussed in open session.”

Other conversations fall into gray areas where it’s unclear whether a violation occurred due to the vagueness of the minutes, he said.

Minutes are kept by a board member who has been appointed board secretary, Zimmer said. Under District 46 school board policy, minutes include a “summary of the discussion on all matters proposed, deliberated, or decided, and a record of any votes taken.”

“Minutes never tell the entire story, which is why closed sessions are audiotaped,” Zimmer said in the email.

“The tapes can be turned over to a judge if necessary.”

“They’re not the worst that I’ve seen, but there are clearly some points where they’re going too far.

They’re talking about things in a closed session that are clearly policy issues. They should be discussed in open session.”

Don Craven Attorney for the Illinois Press Association

Dailey spearheaded fundraising efforts • VOLUNTEER Continued from page B1 But to raise the funds that make that possible, the organization turns to local volunteers to help spearhead fundraising efforts.

“We rely heavily on the volunteers at the various companies and places that run campaigns for us,” Otten

said. “Those are the people at the front lines that can make a huge difference.”

In District 200, that was Dailey, Otten said.

“I feel very strongly about supporting a campaign that supports local residents,” she said. “I’m a proud McHenry County resident myself and am glad to help out in any way.”

Dailey said the district runs a yearly campaign for the or-

ganization targeting employees for donations. She said she’s had help from several others, who’ve led efforts at their respective district buildings during the campaign.

“I believe that many individuals realize the need that exists in the county,” she said.

“There are great people that are willing to support the organizations that United Way helps to fund.”

Lawmakers hope to extend tax deductions • EDUCATION Continued from page B1 “It allows people to plan for college as well as, when they’re in college, have some kind of tax credit,” Pritchard said.

Cross estimated the total cost of the proposals to the state would be $87 million – a drop in the bucket compared with how much the state is spending because of inaction on pension reform, he said.

He also suggested this could be paid out of the revenue that is expected to be generated by a proposal to expand gambling in Illinois.

“It allows people to plan for college as well as, when they’re in college, have some kind of tax credit.”

Rep. Robert Pritchard R-Hinckley

Steve Brown, the spokesman for House Speaker Michael Madigan, said he found the timing of the bill’s introduction to be confusing and noted there’s no defined funding source for it.

“There is no gambling bill

at the moment,” Brown said.

“Spending money from a program that doesn’t exist yet would, at best, seems premature.”

State support for universities like NIU has dwindled for years. If Gov. Pat Quinn signs this upcoming fiscal year’s budget as is, NIU will receive $93 million from the state – 20 percent of the revenue university officials are expecting.

The tax-credit program has been introduced as House Bill 3640, while the increased tax deductions are listed under H.B. 3641. Both bills were introduced Wednesday in the House. Pritchard said he hopes they will pass this fall.

• HENS Continued from page B1 put his request on an agenda because there is nothing new to the issue that was defeated.

“When does it become new again? How long do I have to wait? What are the rules?”

Blome said. “It’s not a public health threat. Fast-food restaurants are a risk to public health. We live in a suburban hell where you have to buy everything through food sources not your own.”

Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley said the issue has a “very slim” chance of becoming an agenda item in the near future. With only one new council member since the last vote, Shepley said, the vote still would be 5-2 against the proposal and possibly 6-1.

Shepley said Blome provided volumes of information in his initial proposal, and

“It’s not a public health threat. Fast-food restaurants are a risk to public health. ... you have to buy everything through food sources not your own.”

Erik Blome on his proposal for owning hens nothing of significance has changed in the two years.

“This is really a nonissue,” Shepley said. “I don’t know if he just has too much time on his hands.”

Blome said there is no reason the council should not consider it as a representative government body and added he believed the city was afraid of change because pets that are allowed, such as pitbulls and other potentially aggressive dogs, pose much

more of a risk.

If hens made any difference in the community, Blome said, it would be a positive one, as it would add a cultural element and a sense of neighborhood, as most people who raise hens tend to share eggs with neighbors.

Blome said he only hopes the City Council will consider and discuss the issue, but admitted stall tactics could effectively end his crusade.

“The truth is, they could succeed by just ignoring it because I don’t have the time to keep fighting them,” Blome said. “But I am giving it a good citizen’s effort. If their vision of Crystal Lake is big-box stores, car dealers and fast-food restaurants and there is no room for chickens or hens, that’s fine. But discuss it.”

Blome said he plans to attend the July 2 City Council meeting.

MCJGA PINECREST OPEN

BLACKHAWKS: STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS

Jacobs’ Walker wins again

STAR TREATMENT

Pinecrest title his 2nd of the week

By MAREK MAKOWSKI marekmakowski@shawmedia.com

In this photo provided by CBS, Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane hoists the Conn Smythe Trophy as “Late Show” host David Letterman gestures to the Stanley Cup on his desk Wednesday on the set of the “Late Show with David Letterman” in New York. The Hawks defeated the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final, and Kane won the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the playoffs.

After parade, decisions await Hawks brass CHICAGO – This week, Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman will celebrate.

Next week, Bowman and his front-office team will have to get back to work.

Sorry, Charlie (by Charlie, we mean Stan). You can take a couple of weeks off later in the summer to bask in the glow of Lord Stanley’s Cup, but not right now. The NHL free-agent signing period starts July 5 – that’s only one week from

VIEWS Tom Musick Friday – and the Hawks will have some tough decisions to make regarding their roster for next season.

The good news is that the Hawks have all of their stars under contract for next season, from dynamic duo Jonathan Toews and Patrick

Kane (both signed through 2014-15) to Patrick Sharp (signed through 2016-17) to Marian Hossa (signed through 2020-21).

The bad news is that several key contributors will be unrestricted free agents, including playoff sensation Bryan Bickell, speedster Viktor Stalberg and steady backup Ray Emery.

Here’s a position-by-position look at the Hawks as they head into a happy offseason:

FORWARDS Under contract: Toews, Kane, Sharp, Hossa, Dave Bolland, Michael Frolik, Brandon Saad, Andrew Shaw, Daniel Carcillo, Brandon Bollig, Ben Smith Restricted free agents: Marcus Kruger Unrestricted free agents: Bickell, Stalberg, Michal Handzus, Jamal Mayers

HUNTLEY – After nine holes of play in the MCJGA Pinecrest Open, Billy Walker knew he had to improve if he wanted to win the Boys Junior Division.

“On the front nine, I didn’t do so well,” said Walker, who shot 43 Wednesday on those holes. “I knew I had to try to get it back and get into the 80s.”

The Jacobs player played “pretty well” on the back nine with a 300yard drive on No. 18 that set up an eagle that gave him a one-shot victory. Walker’s improving play helped him surpass his preset goal and win at Pinecrest, his second straight MCJGA tournament victory. He also won the Prairie Isle Open on Monday.

“That was my goal – 80,” said Walker, who finished Wednesday shooting 77, “but I guess it just turned out better.”

Justin Lenzini (78) and Ben Melms (79) rounded out the top three in Walker’s division. Sophia Archos (47) won the Girls Junior Division by six shots, and Cary-Grove’s Emily Jean won her third consecutive MCJGA tournament in the Girls Senior Division with a 39, one shot better than that of teammate Larisa Luloff.

The Boys Senior Division was a closer race.

Huntley’s Brad Spoeth (76) slid past Glenn Miller and Kyle Murray, who both shot 78s and respectively placed second and third. Spoeth credits part of his performance to his familiarity with Pinecrest, which is Huntley’s home course during the season.

NFL

Hernandez charged with murder

By MICHELLE R. SMITH The Associated Press ATTLEBORO, Mass. – Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested Wednesday and charged with murder in the shooting death of a friend prosecutors say had angered the NFL player at a nightclub a few days earlier by

talking to the wrong people.

Hernandez, 23, was taken from his North Attleborough home in handcuffs just more than a week after Boston semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd’s bullet-riddled body was found in an industrial park a mile away.

Less than two hours after the arrest, the Patriots announced they

had cut Hernandez, a 2011 Pro Bowl selection who signed a five-year contract last summer worth $40 million.

Lloyd was a 27-year-old athlete with the Boston Bandits who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee.

He was shot multiple times on a secluded gravel road, authorities said.

SOFTBALL

Marengo alum to play ball in Australia

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Sara Wiedmaier’s college eligibility has expired, but the 2009 Marengo graduate will have a couple more weeks to play competitive softball this summer.

Wiedmaier, who will be a senior at NCAA Division II Minnesota-Crookston, was chosen to play with USA Athletes International for a team that

will compete in Australia. The team is scheduled to leave July 21 and return Aug. 2.

“This is my last chance to play,” said Wiedmaier, who led the Golden Eagles with 12 RBIs this season.

“I’m very excited. It took me a while because of expenses to do the fundraising. Friends and family helped me out with that by buying raffle tickets.”

A big part of Wiedmaier’s fund-

raising was raffle tickets for a trip for two to Barbados next summer.

Wiedmaier hit .234 with two home runs for the Eagles (3-38).

Crookston pitcher Stacey Marcum also will play for the team.

Sara Wiedmaier and Wiedmaier Marcum learned last fall they had been picked for the team.

Bulls have options at No. 20 Key contributor could be availble; GM not talking

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

• ALL-SPORTS AWARD Continued from page C1 AP file photo

Bulls general manager Gar Forman speaks at a news conference during the team’s media day Dec. 11, 2011, at the Sheri L. Berto Center in Deerfield. For the second straight year, Forman closed all draft workouts to the media did not make himself available to reporters. some promise after being taken with the 29th pick a year ago, although the jury still is out on him.

Whichever way they go, the Bulls have options.

Between the loss of Omer Asik as a free agent last offseason, Noah’s issues with plantar fasciitis in his right foot and veteran Nazr Mohammed’s expiring contract, the Bulls could use another big body to help in the trenches.

If they decide to go that route, one option could be Gorgui Dieng of Louisville.

The 6-foot-11 center averaged 9.4 rebounds and 2.5 blocks, helping the Cardinals win the NCAA title, and could give the Bulls another stopper in the lane to go with Noah.

Then again, there also are issues on the perimeter. It still remains to be seen just how explosive Rose will be after sitting out the season while recovering from torn ACL in his left knee, and the Bulls’ outside shooting is a question mark at the moment.

The Bulls shot just better than 35 percent on 3-pointers and ranked 21st in the league, and there’s a chance Marco Belinelli lands a bigger offer from another team and leaves as a free agent. The streaky Nate Robinson also is a good candidate to sign elsewhere given the

return of Rose and the presence of Teague and Kirk Hinrich.

The Bulls also could use someone who could create his own shot. If they decide to go for help on the perimeter, Jamaal Franklin of San Diego State might be a possibility at No. 20. He is athletic and relentless on defense and the glass and has drawn comparisons to former Aztec Kawhi Leonard for those reasons and the fact that are questions about his shot.

Leonard has developed into a reliable shooter, going 37.5 percent on 3-pointers in two seasons with San Antonio.

There aren’t many questions about Allen Crabbe’s jumper. The 6-6 junior from California averaged 18.4 points and shot just less than 35 percent from 3-point range after hitting 40 percent the previous two seasons. He’s been compared to Richard Hamilton for the way he uses screens and curls to find openings in the defense, and it just so happens that the Bulls almost certainly will exercise their $1 million buyout on the veteran guard if they can’t trade him.

Another possibility could be Michigan’s Tim Hardaway Jr., who has the pedigree as the son of a former NBA star.

But he also is considered a borderline first-round pick.

Noel, Len atop draft full of questions The Associated Press NEW YORK – Nerlens Noel is coming off a major knee injury.

Alex Len is in a walking boot.

One of them could be the No. 1 pick Thursday in an NBA draft that appears short on stardom, and neither looks ready to get his career off to a running start.

“This draft is really unpredictable, a lot of guys with injuries and you don’t have any, like, LeBron James,” Len said Wednesday. “So it’s going to be interesting.”

Ten years after James climbed on stage to start a draft that goes down as one of the best in recent memory, the No. 1 pick again belongs to Cleveland.

The Cavaliers won’t find anyone who can play like James on the court – if they keep the pick – and even the climbing the stage part will be a challenge for the big men who opened their college seasons against each other and are competing again now.

NBA DRAFT PREVIEW

Nance said he thinks Wiedmaier, who played multiple sports at Marengo, benefited from concentrating on softball in college.

Wiedmaier will return to Crookston for another year to take classes and will intern in the athletic department. She is majoring in sports management and then hopes to attend graduate school somewhere and be a graduate assistant softball coach.

BULLS DRAFT PREVIEW

CHICAGO – It’s been five years since the Bulls hit the jackpot in the lottery and used the golden ticket to grab Derrick Rose with the No. 1 pick.

Odds are they won’t land a franchise cornerstone this time. A key contributor could be in reach, though.

The Bulls hold the 20th pick in the draft Thursday, and with their superstar poised to return next season, there are several ways they could go as they try to re-establish themselves as Gorgui Dieng a c o n t e n d e r in the Eastern Conference On the air after a 45-win season.

Another NBA draft, big man would 6:30 p.m. help. So would Thursday, a shooter.

ESPN A trade is a possibility, too, with the Bulls also holding the 49th overall pick, but gaging which way the Bulls are leaning is not easy. For the second straight year, they closed all draft workouts to the media and general manager Gar Forman did not make himself available to reporters. He declined comment for this story.

This much is certain, though. The Bulls need to hit on this pick, particularly given their payroll situation.

They have no cap room and are above the expected luxury-tax threshold. They owe core players Rose, Carlos Boozer, Luol Deng and Joakim Noah nearly $60 million next season, meaning any additions they make will have to come on the cheap and adding a rotation player in the draft is key.

The good news for the Bulls is they’ve had some success with lower first-round picks in recent years, whether it was Taj Gibson at No. 26 in 2009 or Jimmy Butler at No. 30 in 2011.

Marquis Teague also showed

Marengo coach Dwain Nance said Wiedmaier was a late bloomer in her sport. She was in the Indians’ lineup as designated player and first baseman in her senior season, then improved her game at McHenry County College before moving on to Crookston.

“She’s s great kid with a great attitude,” Nance said. “She wasn’t a standout player, but she gave her all every day. She developed at MCC, and it was cool to see her go on and play D-II.”

11 freshman led the nation in shot blocking and his conference in rebounding, but hasn’t been able to show the Cavs if his offensive game has grown.

The only basketball work he did during his visit to Cleveland was shooting some free throws.

Perhaps the pants he wore with his sports jacket and orNerlens Noel ange tie were just too tight, but Noel was walking gingerly as he exited a hotel ballroom after meeting with the media Wednesday.

Alex Len “I wanted to do more. Unfortunately, I got hurt, but I mean I definitely felt right before I got injured.

I was really coming along as a player and just really coming into my own during that part of the season,” Noel said. “But like I said, unfortunately, I got hurt, so I wasn’t able to show as much as I wanted to.”

Nor has Len, but that hasn’t stopped the 7-1 center from the Ukraine who spent two seasons at Maryland from climbing into the mix at No. 1.

His left foot started bothering him around February, and he found out after the season that it was a stress fracture.

He was aware he was projected as a top-10 pick before the draft combine, but might go much higher even though his visits to teams have consisted of nothing more than interviews. He no longer needs crutches but will be in the boot for perhaps two more weeks.

So, with all these injury questions, what about playing it safe and picking a healthy guy?

“I mean, probably a lot of people wish it could be that easy,” Kansas guard Ben McLemore said. “But it’s a process for the teams, they’ve got to see what’s available and what they really need. And like I said, this draft is up in the air and nobody knows what’s going to happen, who’s going to get drafted in which order.”

Orlando has the No. 2 pick, followed by Washington.

“It’s a tribute to our kids,” Tigers athletic director Jeff Aldridge said. “We have awesome kids who do a lot of things.

They’re good athletes, but more importantly, they’re good students and good people.”

Aldridge and the coaches are more familiar with the AllSports Award than the athletes.

Aldridge mentions it at the start of school and principal Steve Olson also brings it up.

“It’s a big deal for us,” Aldridge said. “It’s not something we take for granted. We’re very fortunate to have the streak we’ve had. It’s not going to last forever.”

Tigers boys cross country coach Bill Eschman remembered a quote from Central graduate Gage Harrah last year, when Harrah brought up that the Tigers cared about other teams at their school.

“That’s what really is neat about our kids,” Eschman said.

“They’re very supportive of each other. I’ve only been at Central, so I don’t know what it’s like at other schools. I don’t know if it’s unique, but at Central, it’s not just about their own

About the award The Northwest Herald All-Sports Award is a traveling trophy given each year to the school with the best boys and girls sports overall in the Fox Valley Conference. There are 16 sports that count toward the award – swimming and girls golf do not count because not all 14 schools compete in those sports. Boys golf was counted, although Hampshire did not have a team and Woodstock North co-ops with Woodstock in that sport.

Seven points are given for each first-place finish, with one point less for each place after that.

In sports with conference meets or tournaments, 14 points is given for firsts, with one point less for each descending spot.

team. This is a great accomplishment for our kids. It’s a great reward for so many sports to succeed at a high level.”

The Tigers finished in the lower portion of the standings in only two sports. That level of success was noticeable.

“It’s always a nice way to make you like your school a little bit more,” said Mosher, who was on a second-place

Spoeth wins Boys Senior Division title • PINECREST Continued from page C1 “I was confident going in,” said Spoeth, who won his past two MCJGA tournaments at Pinecrest. “(It) definitely helped.”

Spoeth’s victory was a result of his consistency on the back nine, and he said that’ll build the confidence he needs to win future tournaments. Spoeth’s

last golden trophy came in the first tournament of the year in the GCI Open on June 12.

“Hopefully, this gets the confidence going,” the senior said.

When Spoeth approached tournament director Mike Haase to receive his trophy, Haase mentioned Spoeth’s wardrobe choice. When Spoeth won his first tournament of the year, he was wearing red. The red bottoms returned

at Pinecrest.

“I figured I’d give it a shot again,” he said, “and it worked.”

MCJGA competitors return to the golf course in July with the Marengo Ridge Open (July 2) and The Billy Vahldieck McHenry County Junior Amateur in Bull Valley (July 10 and 11).

As for Spoeth’s lucky red attire?

“We’ll see,” he laughed.

Seven players withdraw, retire

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press LONDON – As tumultuous a day as professional tennis has produced in its nearly half-century history ended in the most unforeseeable, unexplainable way of all: A second-round loss

by Roger Federer at the All England Club.

The seven-time Wimbledon champion and 17-time Maria Grand Slam champ Sharapova shuffled off Centre Court with dusk approaching on the fortnight’s first Wednesday, his head bowed, his streak of reaching at least the quarterfinals at a record 36 consecutive major tournaments snapped by a man ranked 116th.

His remarkable 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5), 7-5, 7-6 (5) defeat by Sergiy Stakhovsky marked Federer’s earliest Grand Slam exit in a decade.

He lost in the first round of the French Open on May 26, 2003, be-

PGA TOUR

Woods hopes to be ‘good enough’ for British Open

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press BETHESDA, Md. – Tiger Woods can’t say whether his left elbow will be fully healed in time for the British Open, only that it will be “good enough.”

Woods returned to the AT&T National on Wednesday as the defending champion only in name.

Doctors have recommended that he sit out this week at Congressional, along with next week at The Greenbrier, because of a left elbow strain that has been bothering him for more a month and was made worse by hacking out of the dense U.S. Open rough at

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Oregon placed on probation

By JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press The NCAA stripped Oregon of a scholarship in each of the next two seasons and placed the program on probation for three years, opting against stiffer penalties such as a bowl ban despite issuing a showcause order against former coach Chip Kelly, who apologized to the school, its fans and it players.

The NCAA’s Division I Committee on Infractions released a report Wednesday that said Kelly failed to monitor the program for its improper involvement with Willie Lyles and his Houston-based recruiting service.

Kelly was hit with an 18-month show-cause order, a sanction that likely will have limited impact now that he’s coaching the Philadelphia Eagles.

The program he left behind faces three years of scholarship reductions, starting last year and extending through 2014-15. It also faces reductions in paid visits and evaluation days, but avoided some of the harsher penalties handed down to other programs in recent years.

“Now that the NCAA has concluded their investigation and penalized the University of Oregon and its football program, I want to apologize to the University of Oregon, all of its current and former players and their fans,” Kelly said in a statement.

Merion.

“I pushed it pretty good at the Open to play it and to play through it,” Woods said. “Made it worse by hitting the ball out of the rough, and eventually got to a point where I wasn’t able to play here. We’re treating it, Tiger Woods and eventually I’ll start the strengthening process, then starting hitting balls to get up to speed for the British.”

The British Open is July 18 through 21 at Muirfield, and Woods could not say that he would be at 100 percent by then.

“How about ... good enough,” he said.

There was no visible evidence of an elbow injury until he began dangling his left arm and flexing his wrist after hitting out of the rough at Merion in the opening round. He eventually said he first hurt it during The Players Championship, which he won May 12, but he did not mention a specific shot or even a round.

On Wednesday, he said it wasn’t a single shot.

“It was just playing there, and it didn’t feel good then early in the week, but I pushed through it,” Woods said. “It progressively just got worse.

Got to a point where I was starting to struggle a little bit.”

Ex-Patriots TE could face life in prison without parole • HERNANDEZ Continued from page C1 Hernandez “drove the victim to that remote spot, and then he orchestrated his execution,” prosecutor Bill McCauley said.

If convicted, Hernandez could get life in prison without parole.

“It is at bottom a circumstantial case. It is not a strong case,” his attorney, Michael Fee, Odin Lloyd said at a court hearing during which Hernandez was ordered held without bail on murder charges and five weapons counts.

Lloyd’s family members cried and hugged as the prosecutor outlined the killing.

Two were so overcome with emotion that they had to leave the courtroom.

McCauley said the slaying stemmed from a night out at a Boston club called Rumor on June 14. He said Hernandez was upset about certain things, including that Lloyd had talked to some people Hernandez “had troubles with.” The prosecutor did not elaborate.

Two days later, McCauley said, on the night of June 16, Hernandez texted two friends from out of state and asked them to hurry back to Massachusetts.

Surveillance footage from Hernandez’s home showed him leaving with a gun, and he told someone in the house that he was upset and couldn’t trust anyone anymore, the prosecutor said.

The three men picked up

Lloyd at his home around 2:30 a.m., according to authorities.

As they drove around in their rented car, they discussed what happened at the nightclub, and Lloyd started getting nervous, McCauley said.

Lloyd texted his sister, “Did you see who I am with?” When she asked who, he answered, at 3:22 a.m., “NFL,” then, a minute later, he sent one final text: “Just so you know.”

Within a few minutes, people working the overnight shift at the industrial park reported hearing gunshots, McCauley said. Surveillance video showed the car going into a remote area of the industrial park and emerging four minutes later, the prosecutor said.

A short time later, Hernandez returned to his house, and he and one of the other men were seen on his home surveillance system holding guns, McCauley said. Then the system stopped recording, according to the prosecutor.

Hernandez recently had installed the system and had 14 cameras inside and out, according to McCauley, who said detectives found footage was missing from the six to eight hours after the slaying.

Investigators did not specify who fired the shots. They did not identify the two other people who were with Hernandez or say whether they were under arrest.

According to McCauley, Hernandez and his friends later returned the car to the rental agency, and Hernandez offered the attendant a piece of blue chewing gum.

She found a .45-caliber shell casing and a piece of what appeared to be chewed blue gum in the car and threw them out.

wild, wild Wednesday brimming with surprising results, a slew of injuries – and all manner of sliding and tumbling on the revered grass courts, prompting questions about whether something made them more slippery.

Seven players left because of withdrawals or mid-match retirements, believed to be the most in

a single day at a Grand Slam tournament in the 45-year Open era.

Among that group: second-seeded Victoria Azarenka; sixth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga; 18th-seeded John Isner, who forever will be remembered for winning a 70-68 fifth set in the longest match ever; and Steve Darcis, the man who stunned 12-time major champion Rafael Nadal on Monday.

“Very black day,” summed up 10th-seeded Marin Cilic, who said a bad left knee forced him to pull out of his match.

The third-seeded Federer simply was unable to derail Stakhovsky’s serve-and-volley style, breaking the 27-year-old Ukrainian only once.

Still, there actually was a real chance for Federer to get back in the thick of things. Ahead 6-5 in the fourth, he held a set point as Stakhovsky served at 30-40. But Stakhovsky came up with this sequence: volley winner, 111 mph ace, serveand-volley winner.

“I had my opportunities, had the foot in the door. When I had the chance, I couldn’t do it,” said Federer, who is 122-18 on grass over his career, while Stakhovsky is 13-12.

“It’s very frustrating, very disappointing. I’m going to accept it and move forward from here. I have no choice.”

Bickell’s price rose throughout playoffs • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Bottom line: In a perfect world, the Hawks would resign Bickell without having to subtract any existing pieces. But Bickell’s price tag increased with every terrific performance in the postseason, when he tallied 17 points (9 G, 8 A) and a plus-11 rating in 23 games while providing a perfect complement to Toews and Kane on the team’s top line. For the Hawks to afford Bickell, they might have to trade a high-salaried veteran such as Bolland.

Although Stalberg scored 22 goals one season ago, he fizzled in the playoffs and likely will head elsewhere after twice being benched during the postseason.

Handzus (age 36) and Mayers (age 38) could return on cheap, short-term deals, but other teams might be willing to pay more for the locker-room presence of a veteran with a Stanley Cup ring. Several young players in the Hawks’ system are eager for a chance to stick with the big club, including Smith, Jimmy Hayes, Jeremy Morin and Brandon Pirri.

DEFENSEMEN Under contract: Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Johnny Oduya, Sheldon Brookbank, Steve Montador Restricted free agents: Nick Leddy

Unrestricted free agents: Michal Rozsival Bottom line: The Hawks are all set with their top four defenseman, and Brookbank should earn more playing time as a No. 5 or 6 defenseman after playing 26 Nick Leddy regular-season games and one playoff game in 2013. Like Handzus and Mayers, Rozsival (who turns 35 in September) will not command a long-term deal but might earn extra money elsewhere from a team eager to add a player who has won a Cup. Leddy will be interesting to follow on the free-agent market. Because he is a restricted free agent, the Hawks have the ability to match any team’s offer to him, but whether the Hawks will do so is another question. At 22 years old, Leddy has a bright future as a puck-moving defenseman. But he struggled

for much of the playoffs, tallying two assists and a minus-8 rating. If Leddy leaves, the Hawks have several talented defensemen in the minors, including 20-year-old prospect Adam Clendening.

GOALTENDERS Under contract: Corey Crawford

Unrestricted free agent: Emery

Bottom line: Emery provided the perfect complement to Crawford in the regular season as he posted a 17-1-0 record with a 1.94 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage. He has earned the right to more money and more starts beyond Crawford’s shadow.

If Emery leaves, as expected, the Hawks could replace him with Antti Raanta, a highly touted 24-year-old from Finland who signed a one-year deal with the team June 3. Raanta posted a 2110-11 record with a .945 save percentage in Finland last season and could spell Crawford for double-digit starts next season if all goes well.

Mistakes steal show again for Sox Three blunder occur in Mets’ 3-run 5th inning CHICAGO – For the second time in as many nights against the New York Mets, what happened behind the White Sox’s starting pitcher stole the spotlight.

That’s not a good thing.

Throwing to the wrong base, twice – both courtesy of left fielder Dayan Viciedo – allowed Mets base runners to advance and another fielding error by shortstop Alexei Ramirez doomed a great start by left-hander John Danks.

White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez throws to first after forcing out New York Mets baserunner Eric Young Jr. during the fourth inning of an interleague game Wednesday at U.S. Cellular Field. Daniel Murphy was safe at first. surgery. Danks’ performance, which included giving up one earned run in 7⅓ innings while not walking a Mets batter and striking out seven, is the lone silver lining in a long line of subpart efforts from the Sox. Danks said he had more behind his fastball, making it more effective than it had been in his previous six starts this season.

“It’s good personally to have a good one, especially coming off the one I had,” Danks said. “It’s a tough game to lose, but it’s just as much my fault as anyone else’s.”

In what has become all too familiar, Sox batters made an average pitcher look Cy-Young-Award worthy. Mets right-hander Shaun Marcum came into the game sporting an ugly 0-9 record but picked up his first win, throwing eight shutout innings of four-hit ball.

“It’s not a lot of fun when [Danks] goes out and pitches his butt off and we can’t score for him,” second baseman Gordon Beckham said. “Marcum was good, too. He’s paid to get people out.”

The Sox need to use today’s off day to refocus ahead of a big four-game

Mets 3, White Sox 0 Tipping point: The Mets scored all three of their runs in the fifth inning against lefthander John Danks. But another defensive miscue by Alexei Ramirez, who failed to field a grounder hit right at him, led to two unearned runs. The Sox finished with only four hits.

On the mound: The Sox’s offense was just what Mets starter Shaun Marcum needed to pick up his first win of the season, improving to 1-9 after tossing eight shutout innings.

Danks (1-5) deserved a better fate than taking the loss. He allowed only one earned run in 7⅓ innings and did not walk a batter

while striking out seven.

At the plate: Ramirez accounted for two of the Sox’s four hits and added a stolen base, although he also was caught stealing. Adam Dunn drew two walks, but the Sox weren’t able to advance him beyond first base. Brent Morel (single) and Gordon Beckham (double) tallied the Sox’s other two hits.

Under the radar: Sox pitchers have combined to lead the AL with a 3.15 ERA at home.

Danks lowered his ERA at home this season to 2.13 after Wednesday’s performance.

series against division rival Cleveland after a quiet, nearly abandoned post-game locker room after Wednesday’s disheartening loss. Summer in Chicago is not shaping up to be a pleasant one on the South Side.

“It just seemed like a listless offense and I don’t know the reason for it, but you can’t have it,” Ventura said. “And [Danks] is pitching well

enough to win and we’re not putting anything on the board for him.”

Peavy hopes to return after All-Star break mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy is eyeing a return to the rotation after the All-Star break, and his team certainly could use him.

For the first time since Peavy fractured a rib, the 32-year-old played catch before Wednesday’s game against the New York Mets at U.S. Cellular Field. Peavy, who went on the 15-day disabled list June 6, will continue playing catch the rest of the week and then attempt to throw from a mound.

An X-ray Tuesday showed Peavy’s rib has been properly healing.

“I kept my arm basically to my side for the past few

weeks,” Peavy said. “We believe the bone is healed enough at this point to start moving around. Hopefully, we can keep moving forward slowly but surely.”

Peavy still isn’t exactly sure how he fractured a rib but explained it was a gradual process that didn’t stem from one start. He lasted only 2⅓ innings June 4 at Seattle.

“I know that me trying to pitch, I was told, did make it worse than it probably would have been if I backed off,” Peavy said.

Morel filling in: Third baseman Brent Morel, the Sox’s Opening Day starter last year, made his season debut Wednesday against the Mets.

Morel was called up from Triple-A Charlotte before the

game after the Sox placed Conor Gillaspie on the paternity list so he could be with his wife Amanda for the birth of their first child. Gillaspie can remain on the paternity list for one to three days.

Morel started at third and batted seventh for the Sox. Jake Peavy “To go and try to make the team out of spring training, not making the team was kind of disappointing,” Morel said. “But to go down there and play well and be back here now it’s really encouraging.”

Morel is hitting .280 with 19 doubles, five home runs, 40 RBIs and a .373 on-base per-

centage in 66 games with Charlotte this season. More importantly, Morel, 26, said back issues that lingered last season and during spring training haven’t been bothering him.

“I’ve been playing every day with no problems,” Morel said.

“I just do little stretches here and there. But there’s nothing I do to take care of it. I don’t think about it too much anymore.”

Manager Robin Ventura doesn’t expect Morel to stay with the team once Gillaspie returns, although he noted that anything could happen.

“For us, if we’re missing that combination of guy, [Morel] is the guy you call on,” Ventura said. “It’s a credit to him to work at it and be at the top of the list in case something came up.”

Konerko still sidelined: First baseman Paul Konerko was not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mets, sitting out a second straight game because of a back problem.

Ventura said Konerko felt better and potentially was available to pinch hit, but resting him against the Mets combined with Thursday’s off day is believed to be enough to cure his back ailment. In 66 games this season, Konerko is batting .253 with seven home runs and 30 RBIs. “You can tell with the work he puts in and everything he does that he enjoys it,” Ventura said of Konerko. “But everybody goes through this. If you’re fortunate to get to that point where he’s at, then some days aren’t as easy as others.”

Feldman gets 1st win of year vs. an NL Central foe The ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE – Scott Feldman pitched six solid innings, Anthony Rizzo had a key two-run single and the Cubs held on to beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-4, on Wednesday night.

Feldman (7-6) gave up only three runs and six hits while striking out three and walking none for his first victory this season against an NL Central Division opponent. He retired 11 of the last 14 batters he faced.

Kevin Gregg got the last three outs for his 12th save in 12 chances.

It didn’t come easy as he gave up a leadoff homer to Juan Francicso to pull the Brewers within a run.

INSIDE THE WHITE SOX Meghan Montemurro It would have been bad enough if those poor choices occurred over the course of a game, but Viciedo and Ramirez’s mistakes all came in the fifth inning and helped the Mets score three runs (one earned). Those were the only runs the Mets needed Wednesday at U.S. Cellular Field en route to a 3-0 win.

“You’re upset,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said of Viciedo throwing to the wrong base. “Again, you need to throw to second base, keep the double play in order.

It’s decision-making.

You can’t make it for Next him. It’s just something vs. Cleveland, you keep working on.’’

With 87 games left 4:10 and 7:40 in the regular season, p.m. Friday, Ventura can only hope CSN, AM-670 the Sox (32-43) haven’t checked out as they sit in last place in the AL Central, 9½ games behind first-place Detroit. As the Sox continue to make the same mistakes and fail to learn from past failures, it’s difficult to envision this team turning around its season.

“I wish we knew what we could do differently,” Danks said. “We know we haven’t been good across the board in any three of the facets of the game. Each night it’s something different. We just haven’t been able to put it together. It’s definitely frustrating.”

The Sox’s offense did nothing to support Danks (1-5), who put together one of his best outings of the season after working back from shoulder

Starlin Castro returned to the Cubs’ lineup with two hits and a run after sitting out Tuesday’s game, which snapped his 269 consecutive games played streak.

Castro has been battling a terrible June slump, hitting .146 this month with no home runs and three RBIs. Ryan Sweeney homered in the third inning and Valbuena had two

hits, a run and an RBI. Valbuena scored on Rizzo’s single in the fourth that was set up by an error by Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks.

Yovani Gallardo (6-7) struggled with his command early and often, giving up five runs – three earned – and eight hits in four innings. He walked four and struck out five.

Gallardo came into the game with a 21-inning streak of not allowing an earned run. After escaping a first-inning jam, his streak was snapped at 22 innings when he gave up two runs in the second.

Aramis Ramirez got his 2,000th career hit with a solo home run in the second inning. Ramirez, who ranks 15th in hits among active players, added a RBI single in the sixth inning.

Bryce Frits, 6 of Prairie Grove, poses with his first bass.

The family hits, Delevan (Wis.), Geneva (Wis.), Crystal and other spots to the north. The boy is almost impossible to get off the water. How many 8-year-olds have mastered using a baitcasting reel?

Most kids that age are just graduating from a Mickey Mouse pole.

When he was younger, Carter’s bedtime storybook was a compilation of stories from decades ago, a journal filled with stories about fishing.

“I love fishing,” Carter said.

“You get to go new places and try new things. You learn a lot.

It is really a lot of fun. Northern pike are my favorites because they put up a big fight and put Photo provided on their full effort when they get Carter Alvarado, 8 of Crystal Lake, near the boat. The best fish I ever holds a trophy bass caught on Geneva caught was a 32-inch northern.

Me and my dad were on a Jon Lake. boat and my dad had to hold my “An amazing fisherman,” is what legs to stop me from going over Carlos Alvarado of Crystal Lake the side.” calls his 8-year-old son, Carter. PhoTwo youngsters. One a newcomtographic evidence certainly backs er, one a seasoned vetertan at an that statement up. “He has been early age. Two great fish stories. fishing with me and his grandfather The future of fishingis looking from when he was in diapers.” brighter.

Everyone asks, where are the fish?

I’ve spent a lot of time this open water season talking about ways to catch more fish. The question everyone wants an answer to seems to be, “Where the heck do I catch them?”

The simple answer, and one that will anger a lot of you is, “It depends.”

There is no magic answer. It depends on many factors, including your status as to being a boater or being shore-bound. It depends on what you want to catch, what time of day you’d like to go and your willingness to travel.

For me, the easiest way to catch fish is to head to the local housing development or industrial park retention pond. I haven’t ever found one that had decent depth to it, that didn’t have some bass and bluegills.

It doesn’t matter how clear the water is, so don’t walk away from ponds that have stained water. As a matter of fact, these brackish ponds can produce easier success than crystal-clear water.

It’s hard to fish in a pond that has all of the characteristics of a soup bowl. Fish like changes. They like bottoms that go down at irregular paces. They like when two different bottoms meet, like gravel and mud or sand and muck. They like points and bays.

They like when sun meets shade, so a pond with no shore cover can be less productive than a pond edged with a tree or two. Fish like hiding places, so objects in the water often can become ambush points for predator fish. I used to cast to an abandoned shopping cart in 4 feet of water at my local pond and often caught a nice largemouth bass.

Ponds are productive. Try one out and keep your eyes open.

A good pair of sunglasses with polarized lenses allows you to see into the water. Look for fish. Look for little breaks on the surface that can either be signs of minnows or feeding fish. If you locate little ones, you can be sure there are big ones around.

As summer gears up with high temps, the fish will move into shore in the early morning and in the evening to feed. Did you ever wonder why you see the shorefishermen casting as far as they can toward the middle of the lake while the boat fishermen cast toward shore? Hmm. I guess that is an example of the old “grass is greener” adage.

The fact is that the shore guys can really do a lot more than the

sportsdesk@nwherald.com Where will the Kevin Van Dams of the future come from? What about the future prospects for the sport of fishing as a vibrant pastime for those of us who just enjoy being in the outdoors. The future lies with our youth.

Jim Frits tells a story about his 6-year-old grandson, Bryce, of Prairie Grove. Jim took Bryce fishing for the first time and they tried the Hollows.

“We took some wax worms to go catch some panfish using an old Zebco 202 that didn’t want to retrieve properly due to gummed up works from years of hanging on a nail in the garage,” Jim said.

“We rigged up a bobber and after a couple seconds, a small bluegill pulled the bobber under and Bryce attempted to reel it in, but the reel would not wind the line.

“Suddenly the bobber took off and the line zipped off the reel.

Bryce managed to stop the line from zipping out, but it still could not be retrieved. I told him to keep backing up the bank and it was then we saw that a large bass had eaten the bluegill. Bryce backed up until the bass was beached. We did not intend to keep any fish, so the bass was returned to the water.

We had no scale, but I had a small tape measure I carry with me and the bass was just slightly over 17 inches, as best we could measure as Bryce did not want to touch it and it was flopping around a lot. Of course Bryce expected to catch more large bass, as it was so easy the first time.

“Bryce is named after his great grandfather, Bryce Frits, who holds the IGFA record for landlocked striped bass on 4-pound test line. That fish hangs in my man cave along with the IGFA certificate. It gives us something to aim for in the future, but the Zebco 202 will likely not be used, even if it is Bryce’s lucky rod.”

FRIDAY

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley boaters because early and late, the predator fish are feeding just a few feet from the shoreline.

Once, I was at a pond and noticed another angler watching me. I was catching quite a few bass. He came over to me and asked what lure I was using. I was throwing something that ran shallow and was casting perpendicular to the shoreline.

I gave him an identical lure to use. He tied it on and began to cast toward the middle of the pond. Ten yards away, I continued to cast close to shore. He was watching me but never seemed to realize that the fish were on the shoreline. He came over and handed me back the lure and said, “This one looks the same as yours, but it must be different.” It wasn’t the lure, it was the location.

Here’s a tip: The most under-fished waters are those managed by the local forest preserve districts. Both, McHenry and Lake counties offer great fishing at their preserve waterways. If somebody tells you that these waters are overfished, don’t believe a word of it. We’ll discuss this more next time around.

FISHING/HUNTING REPORT Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “The heavy rains have the Fox River very high, fast and muddy.

Most fishing gets a little harder under these conditions. Bass can be caught on a Buzzbait and catfish on stinkbait or cut bait.

Use an egg sinker so they do not feel the weight when they pick up the bait.

“Bow hunters, it is time to take a few shots every week and get out your trail cams. There are only 95 days left until Oct. 1.”

As of Tuesday, the Upper Fox River, Lower Fox River and Fox Chain were open to boating with no restrictions. For up-to-theminute water conditions on the Fox Chain and Fox River, go to foxwaterway.state.il.us/ or call 847-587-8540.

Lake Michigan: Captain Bob Rossa of Migrator Charters (ALakeMichiganCharter.com) says, “Fishing on Lake Michigan has continued to be slow this past week. Some Cohoes, kings, steelhead and lakers are being caught,

but not in great numbers. Moonshine’s RV Wonder Bread spoon has been a good king and Coho lure. Green and white Spin-N-Glos fished tight to the bottom behind chrome dodgers have taken most of the lake trout. Perch fishing will close for the month of July in Illinois.”

You can call Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan Fishing Hotline at 414382-7920 to hear the latest fishing information for Lake Michigan and its tributaries.

Walleyes Unlimited (Wis.) to host ‘Boat Night & Fish Fry” Walleyes Unlimited, with about 450 members, is one of the Midwest’s most popular fishing clubs.

It runs two meetings a month. In Wisconsin, the group meets the second Wednesday of each month at the Root River Lanes at 7220 W. Rawson in Franklin, three miles west of I-94 on County BB. On July 10, it will host the annual “Boat Night & Fish Fry,”and the meeting will be at M-W Marine, 11901 W. Janesville Road in Hales Corners.

“Boat Night & Fish Fry” is one of the most attended and popular of all club activities and is open to all club members and their family members regardless of where they reside. The club starts serving food at 7 p.m., but feel free to arrive early and visit with other club members. The group also wants you to show off your boats, new or old, fish-catching or not.

There will be plenty of space and this is the best time of the year to gather them in a group for all to see.

In Illinois, the group meets the last Wednesday of the month at the Gurnee American Legion Hall at 749 Milwaukee Ave. in Gurnee, two miles east of I-94 off Grand Ave. On July 31, there will be a change of venue for the big, “Social Night.” The event will be at the Fox Lake American Legion at 703 N. U.S. Highway 12 in Fox Lake. The fun starts at 7 p.m. and soft drinks are provided and hard beverages are available for purchase.

RV in driveway Teach young child it’s not OK to lie keeps boys busy, grandma worried Dear Abby: My husband has moved our motor home into our driveway and lets our 8-year-old grandson and the neighborhood boys play inside without supervision. I am furious about it because they can – and often do – mess up a whole lot of stuff, and worse, it leaves us open for a lawsuit if anyone gets hurt.

I can’t convince him it’s not OK to let the boys play inside. Actually, I think he knows it, but our grandson only has to whine or cry and my husband folds. Can you help me get through to him? – Concerned Grandma

In Texas Dear Concerned Grandma: I probably can’t do much better than you, but I’m willing to bet your family lawyer and your insurance agent can. Notify them about what’s going on, and let them tell your husband what the consequences will be if anything unforeseen should happen.

Dear Abby: I have started working at a café. My best friend works there, and she helped me get the job. I work with her often, and when I ask questions, she keeps doing stuff for me and won’t let me learn. I have to learn by doing.

When I go home, I feel like I’m not good at it, and I start missing my co-workers from my old job. I miss my old work because we had so much fun and always goofed around.

I don’t know how to enjoy my new job, and I get all quiet around my friend because she obviously realizes when I’m not doing something right. How do I keep up a good attitude or tell her she’s driving me crazy? –

Sad Girl In Utah Dear Sad Girl: A way to change your attitude would be to stop asking your friend to coach you. People have different learning styles.

Obviously, yours is not the same as your friend’s.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips The person who should be teaching you is your boss.

Because new routines take practice to master, have him or her show you the ropes so you can mirror what that person is doing.

Dear Readers: After I printed the letter from “Can’t Believe It Down South” (May 13), about the grandfather who is insisting his granddaughter’s Greek fiancé change his last name “because it is too long and impossible to pronounce,” I loved what you had to say.

Some of your comments made me laugh, so I’m sharing them with you: Dear Abby: I saw the letter from “Can’t Believe It,” and I have just the response for him: “Dear Grandpa: Don’t worry. With the wedding eight weeks away, you will have plenty of time to learn to say ‘Mrs. Papageorgiou.’

“By the way, we have decided on the reception menu: spanakotyropita, tsipouradika and kolokythoanthoi, all washed down with ouzomezedhes.” – Get Your Own

Dear Dr. K: Lately, my 4-year-old has started lying to me. She’ll say she didn’t break a toy, or push her brother, when I know she did. How should I handle this?

Dear Reader: Almost all preschoolers will lie at one time or another – and it’s clear they know they’re lying, and that they shouldn’t be doing that.

For example, when one child hits another and is challenged about it, here’s the usual sequence of lies: “I didn’t do it”; “I didn’t mean it”; “It didn’t hurt anyway!”

Each lie admits to the preceding lie. It’s as if the child realizes there’s no way he will get away with the lie, so his only hope is to dismiss the importance of the transgression.

Some preschoolers may not yet realize it is wrong to lie.

Now, at age 4, is the time

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff

to teach your child that lying is not acceptable. Doing so at a young age will help mold your child’s behavior as she gets older.

To encourage truthfulness when you suspect wrongdoing, be upfront but not confrontational as you question your child. For example, ask an open-ended question like, “How did your walls get crayon all over them?” rather than a closed-ended one like, “Did you scribble all over your walls?”

If your child has told a lie, keep your response short and to the point. Be sure to tell her first you believe she has lied, and because of that, consequences will follow. If your child denies drawing on

A colleague of mine at Harvard Health Publications has a daughter. We’ll call her Cleo, short for a certain very self-confident Egyptian queen.

Like all kids, Cleo sometimes does things she knows she shouldn’t.

And when challenged, she sometimes lies about it. But more often, she is refreshingly honest ... and witty.

Here’s a recent gem, as related by her mom: Mom: “Cleo! You know you’re not supposed to throw a ball in the living room. Why on earth did you do that?”

Cleo: “I think it’s because I’m a kid, Mom.”

Name Dear Abby: Many years ago, my cousin was a rabid Burt Reynolds fan. Her friend, a flight attendant, was on the same plane as Burt, so she asked him for an autographed photo for my cousin. Burt spelled her name wrong, and when my cousin saw it, she said, “Oh, well. I don’t mind changing the spelling for HIM!” –

her walls, for example, you might say, “I know that you drew on your walls, as I saw you do it earlier today. It is never OK to lie to me. You won’t be able to play with your crayons for the rest of the day.”

Do not ignore these seemingly small or harmless lies.

It is always helpful to praise your preschooler for being good, too. Compliment her when she tells the truth.

Remind her: “I’m glad you told the truth about what happened. When you tell me the truth, I can trust you, and that makes me happy.”

Remember children learn right from wrong by watching and listening to the adults around them, especially their parents. If they see you telling a little white lie, they will conclude lying is acceptable. “Do as I say, not as I do” is never an

7 Benefits of Speed and Performance Training Running— — Fastest way to get faster is to improve running form. Running game more efficiently leads to better stamina during the game.

Burst Speed— Is the key to separating yourself from the competition and giving you the competitive advantage.

Injury Prevention— Focus is on good form. Drills have heavy focus on sport specific change of direction that promotes good form and reduces the chance of injury.

Core Strength— During sport specific movements your core muscles are put under a large amount of stress. We focus on improving rotational power of these movements.

Conditioning and Recovery— Our training sessions are similar to sports where we are constantly switching between 100% effort and very short rests.

The side benefit of our training is the athletes leave in better condition than they started.

The training is meant to challenge the athlete to move to the next level.

Confidence— Mastery of our drills leads to increased self confidence which translates on the field of play.This is even more evident at the younger levels.

Plyometrics and Strength— Leg strength and foot speed, as well as vertical and horizontal jumping, are all essential to most sports. Our plyometric program is designed to increase overall strength and explosiveness, while increasing foot speed and quickness off the ground. To further meet the needs of these athletes, we incorporate plyometric exercises that increase explosiveness and power both vertically as well as horizontally.

Bieber monkey out of quarantine THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, June 27, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

Mally the monkey, Justin Bieber’s former pet, has emerged from quarantine at his new German home three months after the pop star brought him to the country.

The 6-month-old capuchin monkey moved Wednesday into a new enclosure at the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen, in northern Germany.

Mally will soon be introduced to the zoo’s other capuchin monkeys. Zoo manager Fabrizio Sepe said: “Mally is a clever little guy and we’re confident that he will settle in quickly.”

Mally was transferred to the zoo last month from a Munich animal shelter where he had been since being seized by German customs March 28.

Bieber failed to produce the required vaccination and import papers after arriving for a European tour. Mally’s ownership was transferred to the German state May 21.

Deen dropped by Wal-Mart, buffet

Former Devo drummer dies

Paula Deen was dropped by Wal-Mart and her name was stripped from four buffet restaurants on Wednesday, hours after she went on television and tearfully defended herself amid the mounting fallout over her admission of using a racial slur.

The story has become both a day-by-day struggle by a successful businesswoman to keep her career afloat and an object lesson on the level of tolerance and forgiveness in society for being caught making an insensitive remark.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Wednesday it ended its relationship with Deen and will not place “any new orders beyond what’s already committed.”

Caesars Entertainment Corp. said it had been “mutually decided” with Deen to remove her name from its restaurants in Joliet, Tunica, Miss.; Cherokee, N.C.; and Elizabeth, Ind. Deen told Matt Lauer on “Today” on Wednesday she could only recall using the N-word once.

She said she remembered using it when retelling a story about when she was held at gunpoint by a robber who was black while working as a bank teller in the 1980s in Georgia.

Looking distressed and with her voice breaking, Deen said if there was someone in the audience who had never said something they wished they could take back, “please pick up that stone and throw it as hard at my head so it kills me. I want to meet you. I want to meet you.”

Alan Myers, the former longtime drummer for the band Devo, best known for “Whip It,” has died after a battle with brain cancer.

He was 58. Myers died Monday in Los Angeles, where he lived, Devo spokesman Michael Pilmer said Wednesday.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION SALE

More celeb news at PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz Myers was the band’s drummer from 1976 to 1985 during Devo’s heyday.

The group was formed in Akron, Ohio, in the early 1970s by Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale, and introduced themselves to the world in 1977 by making a spastic version of the Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction.”

Casale told The Associated Press on Wednesday that without Myers, Devo never would have reached the heights it did, calling him the best drummer he has ever played with.

“We were mostly in basements and garages writing songs. It was Alan that brought everything to life,” Casale said.

“That was the catalyst where everything clicked.”

He called Myers “the human metronome.”

Liberace mansion for sale A Las Vegas mansion that once belonged to Liberace and ultimately landed in the hands of a bank is now listed for half a million dollars,

cash-only.

The nearly 14,939-square-foot mansion, built in 1962 and set on a half-acre lot near the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, has two bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and several large areas for entertaining. It also features touches reminiscent of the flamboyant pianist that once lived there, including chandeliers, a mirror bar etched with Liberace’s signature and a room with tile piano keys in the floor.

Liberace bought the home in 1974, according to Clark County property records.

His foundation sold the house to a married couple – Vance and Jan Turner – in 1989, two years after the performer died of an AIDS-related illness.

In 2006, during the heady days of southern Nevada real estate, the couple sold the home to Terrance Lee “Dez” Dzvonick for $3.7 million.

JPMorgan Chase seized the property through foreclosure in February 2010, and Dzvonick sued to get it back, saying the bank had wrongfully foreclosed.

The legal tug-of-war ended in December, when U.S. District Judge Gloria M. Navarro dismissed the case.

browland@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK– A state board gave Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital a green light to move forward with a $247 million expansion and modernization project.

The Health Facilities and Services Review Board voted 7-0 to approve a certificate of need for the project at a meeting Wednesday in Bolingbrook.

Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital plans to add hospital beds, build private rooms for patients and upgrade medical departments at its 34-year-old Barrington hospital.

“This is an exciting time for our community as we prepare Good Shepherd Hospital for a new generation of innovation in health care,” hospital President Karen Lambert said in a press release. “This mod-

Artist’s rendering of Advocate Good Shepherd exterior from the north entrance in Barrington. ernization will improve the patient care experience by enhancing privacy, offering the most advanced technology and making it more con-

venient to access our inpatient and outpatient services.”

Construction could begin in the fall.

Plans call for erecting a building on the north side of the existing facility to house private patient rooms. Half of the hospital’s current rooms are dual-occupancy.

Good Shepherd will increase its total bed count from 169 to 176, with seven additional beds in the Intensive Care Unit, according to a press release.

The project will modernize clinical services such as radiology, ambulatory care services, and cardiovascular and pulmonary testing.

New, larger operating rooms will be equipped with the latest imaging equipment and cameras.

Much of the rest of the hospital also will get a makeover, including the administration center, visitors areas, lobby, simulation laboratory, chapel, and conference center.

The project is expected to be completed in 2017.

Healthy Habits One-stop wellness in Algonquin

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Verne Kelly, 80, of Huntley, has had two shoulder replacements. She battles bad knees, along with a bad back, a herniated disk and sciatica.

“I want to make sure I don’t end up in surgery too soon,” Kelly said.

To keep in shape, to work on her balance and to stay healthy, Kelly goes to Healthy Habits Key to Wellness Fitness & Therapy Center, where she can exercise with supervision. If she wants, she can meet with a nutritionist and a doctor of internal medicine.

“This is a good place to be, particularly, when you have somebody who is watching you and making sure you don’t do all the wrong things, but all the good things for your body,” Kelly said.

Dr. Barbara Amsler, an internist, and nutritionist Karin Boode started the business last year because Amsler wanted to help educate patients about losing weight to help with health conditions.

However, the internist didn’t have enough time to educate people about healthy habits, Boode said.

At Healthy Habits, clients can meet with Amsler to discuss medical issues they are facing. They can meet with Boode to figure out the best diet plan, and they could meet with physi-

Real estate is much more than just the data There is a rather famous speech in the real estate world that was given by a past president of the National Association of Realtors a dozen years ago. Those in the business refer to it as the “Lions coming over the hill” speech. The thought back then was, in simple terms, that the real estate industry was in peril, with Realtors in jeopardy of being replaced by a myriad of websites.

Today, of course, the local multiple listing services have competition from outside websites like Zillow, Trulia, and even Yahoo! and Google, to name a few. Heck, it even has competition, if you choose to view it that way, from inside websites like Realtor.com.

But this industry isn’t just about the data.

As the industry has changed over the last few years so has the role of the salesperson. One might reasonably argue that in real estate’s heyday – perhaps 2002 to 2005 – many agents were little more than order takers.

An agent might take a potential buyer out to show them a handful of homes, write an offer that day, get it accepted in hours, and be pending final approval in just a week. That has all changed, to say the least.

Today’s real estate agents must be more educated on the process.

REAL ESTATE Jim Haisler They must be more fluent than ever on short sales and foreclosures and understand the intricacies of the different processes of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two major secondary sources of financing. Beyond those two government-sponsored enterprises, each financial institution has its own system (or not!) for handling short sales and foreclosures.

So what is the role of a real estate agent today? Well, some suggest it is distress sale specialist – helping potential sellers understand the situation they are in and looking over what they have received to date (not providing legal advice, however).

Some suggest the role is of consultant – helping buyers and sellers work through the process of putting in an offer, negotiating it, answering questions, managing the plethora of disclosures, serving as a liaison between client and bank at times, and generally getting the deal to close.

Others, however, still see agents as being just someone to get you into the house or being able to send information on houses that fit into a certain

criteria. This just simply isn’t the case, if it ever was.

Today’s agents are skilled in a variety of topics. They are required to take continuing education courses in order to renew their license every other year. They must pass tests to certify that they still understand agency, fair housing, escrow, financing, disclosure, inspection, and more. Moreover, many agents have taken additional courses to earn real estate designations to further their ability to aid their clients. Designations such as the Accredited Buyers Representative, Certified Residential Specialist, Graduate of the Realtor Institute, Certified International Property Specialist, Master’s Degree in Real Estate, in addition to nearly two dozen others exemplify the high level to which agents go to be the best for their clients.

Additionally, real estate is too complex to be conducted exclusively over the Internet. Transactions are getting more and more complicated.

Legislation keeps adding disclosures and more forms. Often real estate agents are the client’s best source of coordination of services including attorneys, lenders, inspectors, appraisers, utilities, repair people, home warranty, movers, decorators, title services, and more. Clients

need this point of contact that agents fulfill.

Buying a home is not something that cannot be left to chance. If someone purchases a bad vacation over the Internet and ends up in a shack for a week, he/she can laugh it off. It’s a whole different story for someone who spends his life’s savings on the purchase of a home only to be taken advantage of. It’s where they park their car and place their valuables. It’s where they invite their friends to watch the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup. It’s where they raise their families and make their memories. Perhaps most of all, a person’s home is where they lay their head at night – their comfort zone. It fulfills the basic needs of us all: safety and security.

Economy grows at slower 1.8 percent rate WASHINGTON – The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 1.8 percent in the first three months of the year, significantly slower than first thought. The steep revision occurred mostly because consumers spent less than previously estimated, a sign that higher taxes could be dampening growth.

The Commerce Department revised its estimate of economic growth for the January-March quarter down from a 2.4 percent annual rate.

The revised rate was still faster than the 0.4 percent rate in the October-December quarter.

Economists had thought growth in the April-June quarter would be 2 percent or less.

Analysts had also expected growth to strengthen in the second half of this year. The downgrade for the JanuaryMarch quarter will likely change those estimates.

It might also affect the timing of the Federal Reserve’s plan to scale back its bondbuying program. Chairman Ben Bernanke said last week that the Fed would likely start to slow its bond purchases later this year and end them next year if the economy continues to strengthen. The Fed’s bond purchases have helped keep long-term interest rates low.

Monsanto fiscal 3Q profit slips 3 percent Monsanto’s fiscal third quarter net income slipped 3 percent, as hits to the agricultural product company’s cotton and soybean seed segments weighed on revenue growth.

The St. Louis company said Wednesday that its revenue for the latest quarter inched up less than 1 percent as Monsanto booked a smaller contribution from its Brazilian soybean business and saw a drop in overall planted cotton acres. The seed giant also said higher production costs resulting from last year’s drought affected its results.

In contrast, Monsanto’s revenue had soared 17 percent a year earlier as a mild spring helped spur farmers to sow crops earlier and in larger numbers.

The company earned $909 million, or $1.68 per share, in the quarter ended May 31, down from $937 million, or $1.74 per share, a year ago.

Revenue inched up less than 1 percent to $4.25 billion.

Monsanto earned $1.66 per share.

Monsanto Co. makes seeds for crops like corn, soybean, cotton and wheat and crop protection chemicals like the herbicide Roundup.

Provide an environment that allows employees to innovate “Innovation” is a hot concept right now. Well-known author and speaker Guy Kawasaki sums it up: “‘Innovate or die is how the world works.”

Usually when people discuss innovation and business, it’s associated with a company’s new product or revolutionary process. But those topics are actually just the outcomes. True innovation stems from a company’s workforce, the intellectual property inside their employees’ heads. So when you see a business with the inability to innovate, the heart of the problem actually lies in the leaders’ inability to hire and retain quality employees.

Finding and keeping top talent is what will make or break a company in the “new economy.” It is vital that as leader you do whatever it takes to ensure your business’ success. When a business owner or leader makes the decision to “crown the company’” they begin to empower their team to grow the business. The leader has to know that the right people are in the right seats and that they have the capability to handle the task of innovation. In order for your employees to become innovative in their responsibilities and keep your company ahead of the competition, you must do three things: Build trust, cultivate passion and inspire loyalty. These three keys must be at the top of your to-do list if you want to protect your workplace from one of today’s top business challenges – the inability to innovate.

WORKFORCE Terri Greeno Build trust. Trust is a two-way street. First, your employees must trust you in order to have the freedom to be innovative or motivated to work hard. Trust only comes through honest communication and consistent followthrough from your leadership.

Say what you mean, do what you say. On the flip side, you also have to trust your employees. Kawasaki points out that you have to “Trust your employee(s) enough to know they can make the right decision for customers. When you show this level of trust and empower employees, they do the best work that they can.” If you can’t trust a team member you must change the dynamic or allow them to pursue their passions elsewhere.

Cultivate passion. Today’s successful businesses have the most engaged and enthusiastic employees. Passion must originate at the top.

“The leadership team must be passionate in order for the rest of the organization to be passionate,” said OtterBox founder and CEO Curt Richardson in a recent Inc.com article. “Who wants to come to work for someone who is just going through the motions and working for the next professional advancement?”

Are you excited about your company’s goals and mission?

Work to spread that excitement! “Vision leaks” is a true

statement. You must have a vision and consistently recast it for your team. A simple test of how well you’ve spread your passion is to each of your team members: • What is our goal?

• What is our mission?

• What is your role in making it happen?

Inspire loyalty. Maintaining an innovative workplace means that you must also foster a loyal workforce. Hiring top talent is the first step, but keeping your talented workers engaged and invested in your business is the only way to achieve long-term success.

There are many ideas regarding how to build employee loyalty, but it truly boils down to leadership. As the leader, you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Regarding inspiring leadership Kawasaki says, “Employees need to know that you’ll do the dirty, hard, and frustrating jobs, too.”

If you want your business to be successful and stay ahead of the competition, then you must realize that hiring and retaining top talent is the only way. A passionate, engaged workforce is the key to becoming an innovative industry leader. But, it’s up to you to provide an environment that allows your employees to innovate. Give them what they need, and they’ll return the investment, one hundred-fold!

Microsoft addresses Windows 8 gripes

By RYAN NAKASHIMA AP Business Writer SAN FRANCISCO – Microsoft on Wednesday released a preview version of an update to Windows 8, aiming to address some of the gripes people have with the company’s flagship operating system.

At a conference in San Francisco, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer acknowledged that the company pushed hard to get people to adopt a radical new tile-based “Modern” user interface in Windows 8. Microsoft is now back-pedaling, making it easier to reach and use the older “desktop” interface.

“Let’s make it easier to start applications the way we’re used to,” Ballmer told the audience of software developers. “What we will show you today is a refined blend of our Desktop experience and our Modern experience.”

Microsoft made the preview of Windows 8.1 available for free as a download.

Windows 8.1 will allow people to boot up in Desktop mode. There, they’ll find a button that resembles the old Start button. It won’t take users to the old Start menu, but to the new “Modern” Windows 8 start screen. Still, the re-introduction of the familiar button may make it easier for longtime Windows users to get accustomed to the changes. A common complaint about Windows 8 is that it hides features and functions, and replaces buttons with gestures and invisible click zones that have to be memorized.

Other new features of Windows 8.1 include more options to use multiple apps. People will be able to determine how

much of the screen each app takes while showing up to four different programs, rather than just two. The update will also offer more integrated search results, showing users previews of websites, apps and documents that are on the device, all at once.

Microsoft also touted a broadening array of applications specifically written for Windows 8, among them one from Facebook.

Frank Gillett, an analyst with research firm Forrester, said that with 8.1, Microsoft is doing a better job of uniting the Desktop and Modern screens, but the changes don’t run deep.

“They smoothed off some rough edges, but they don’t fundamentally change the experience of having two experiences within one operating system,” he said.

The preview version of Windows 8.1 is meant for Microsoft’s partners and other technology developers, but anyone can download it. The release comes exactly eight months after desktops, laptops and tablets with Windows 8 went on sale. The version of the Windows 8.1 update meant for the general public will come later in the year, though the company hasn’t announced a specific date.

Julie Larson-Green, the head of Microsoft’s Windows division, said the update, rapid by Microsoft standards, “shows how much more responsive our engineering has become.”

Many of the new features have been shown already. A three-day Build conference, which started Wednesday in San Francisco, gives Micro-

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer speaks Wednesday at a Microsoft event in San Francisco. Microsoft is using a three-day conference this week to give people a peek into Windows 8.1, a free update that promises to address some of the gripes people have with the latest version of the company’s flagship operating system. soft developers a chance to learn more about the new system and try it out. It also will give the company a chance to explain some of the reasoning behind the update and sell developers on Microsoft’s ambitions to regain relevance lost to Apple’s iPad and various devices running Google’s Android software.

Windows 8, released Oct. 26, was meant to be Microsoft’s answer to changing customer behaviors and the rise of tablet computers. The operating system emphasizes touch controls over the mouse and the keyboard, which had been the main way people have interacted with their personal computers since the 1980s.

Microsoft and PC makers had been looking to Windows 8 to revive sales of personal

computers, but some people have been put off by the radical makeover. Research firm IDC said the operating system actually slowed down the market. Although Microsoft says it has sold more than 100 million Windows 8 licenses so far, IDC said worldwide shipments of personal computers fell 14 percent in the first three months of this year, the worst since tracking began in 1994.

Windows 8 was also supposed to make Microsoft more competitive in the growing market for tablet computers.

But Windows tablets had less than a 4 percent market share in the first quarter, compared with 57 percent for Android and 40 percent for Apple’s iPad. One big problem is the fact that Windows 8 doesn’t

work well on smaller screens, making Windows tablets less competitive with cheaper tablets such as Apple’s iPad Mini, Google’s Nexus 7 and Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD. Microsoft built Windows 8 primarily to run on tablets with 10-inch to 12-inch screens, and it is trying to address that shortcoming in Windows 8.1.

It’s crucial that Microsoft sets things right with Windows 8.1 because the outlook for the PC market keeps getting gloomier. IDC now expects PC shipments to fall by nearly 8 percent this year, worse than its previous forecast of a 1 percent dip. IDC also anticipates tablets will outsell laptop computers for the first time this year.

Microsoft is addressing that shift by banking its future on touch controls. Its strategy calls for having just one operating system work on both tablets and traditional computers. That allows popular Windows programs such as Office to work well on tablets, too. But in making Windows easy for touch screens, mouse and keyboard commands are more complex to use and figure out.

Apple and Google, on the other hand, believe people use

those machines differently and have opted to keep their operating systems separate.

Apple, for instance, believes that it can be tiresome to have to constantly move your arm to touch a desktop or laptop screen. That’s not a problem with tablets because you’re already holding it.

As for the growing interest in smaller, cheaper tablets, Microsoft has said the company is working with other manufacturers to make some.

At the conference, it didn’t confirm reports that it is making its own.

Microsoft also said very little about Windows RT, the Windows 8 variant that’s designed to run on the same phone-style processors that let the iPad and Android tablets be lighter and have longer battery lives than Windows 8 tablets with PC-style Intel processors. Windows RT has been hamstrung by a lack of applications, since it won’t run older Windows programs.

At the conference, Microsoft showed off an Acer tablet with an 8-inch screen – a size that would be a good fit for an RT device – but it ran fullblown Windows 8 instead.

Microsoft Corp. just cut the effective price of its Surface tablet with Windows RT by including a keyboard cover for free. The cover sells for $120 or $130 on its own.

Microsoft also said this month that it would give buyers of the RT version of Surface the Outlook email and calendar program at no extra charge – joining other Office freebies Excel, Word and Power Point – and sweetening the offer for the device that is priced starting at $499.

What employers want Firms seek grads who can think fast, work in teams

By PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – They can get good grades, earn a diploma and breeze through that campus rite of spring, the job interview. But college graduates still might not land a decent job.

The world’s top employers are pickier than ever. And they want to see more than high marks and the right degree.

They want graduates with so-called soft skills – those who can work well in teams, write and speak with clarity, adapt quickly to changes in technology and business conditions and interact with colleagues from different countries and cultures.

“Soft skills tend to differentiate good college graduates from exceptional college graduates,” says Joseph Krok, university research liaison at Britain’s Rolls-Royce.

To find out what employers are seeking from university graduates around the world, The Associated Press talked to dozens of corporate recruiters, university career counselors, economists and students. What’s clear is that companies increasingly want skills that don’t show up in a college transcript or a sitdown interview.

“What the employers want is a well-rounded student,” says Jean Manning-Clark, director of the Colorado School of Mines’ career center. “The ones that get 10 to 12 job offers are the ones who have strong soft skills.”

And companies are going to ever-greater lengths to identify the students who have the right mix of skills by observing them in roleplaying exercises to see how they handle pressure and get along with others, relying more on applicants who have already proved themselves in

In this May 26 photo, Chinese job seekers visit a job fair in southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality. According to a report released by the Associated Press, the hiring process has become more intense globally because employers are more demanding and companies want more than specific technical skills. internships and co-op jobs in which students work while attending school, and organizing contests that reveal how students solve problems and handle deadline pressure.

“It used to be that the interview itself was where you made or broke your chances with a company,” says Dan Black, head of campus recruiting in the Americas for the accounting and consulting firm Ernst & Young. “Now the assessment is a much longer and broader process.”

MORE THAN A MAJOR The hiring process is more intense because employers the world over are more demanding.

They’ve always needed people with specific technical skills. Those remain important, but employers want something more – the soft skills that determine whether recruits can get along with co-workers, articulate ideas, engage in critical thinking and solve problems on the fly.

In short, whether employees can make the transition from classroom to workplace.

Globally, employers say it’s hard to find that right combination of hard and soft skills. Just 43 percent of the 2,832 employers McKinsey surveyed in nine countries in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas said they could find enough skilled entry-level workers.

Mona Mourshed, leader of the education practice at the global consultancy McK-

insey & Co., remembers one employer saying: “ ‘I have never fired an engineer for bad engineering, but I have fired an engineer for lack of teamwork’ ... People have to work together. They have to collaborate.”

A survey of employers released in April by the Association of American Colleges and Universities found that 93 percent of the respondents reported that a capacity to think critically, communicate clearly and solve complex problems was more important than an undergraduate major.

“Many technical programs around the world have historically focused more on technical depth,” says Paul McIntyre, vice president in charge of global recruiting at oil giant BP. “We’ve been communicating to universities the importance of soft skills.”

MIXING IT UP Knowing that college transcripts don’t tell the whole story, companies are looking for creative ways to identify the talent they need. “The old approach doesn’t find them,” says John Sullivan, a management professor at San Francisco State University.

British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline likes to see first-hand how students mix with others, think on their feet and handle pressure. After it narrows its job applicants, Glaxo brings in groups of 10 to 12 for a full day’s assessment. Glaxo man-

According to a report by the Associated Press, companies are going to ever-greater lengths to identify the students who have the right mix of skills they want. agers observe as recruits interact with each other, solve problems and give presentations. Usually, half get hired.

Having a successful internship with Glaxo increases the odds; interns have shown whether they fit in. “We love our internship and co-op programs,” says John Sweney, who heads Glaxo’s talent program. “We want to fast-track those people.”

Indeed, companies are becoming more reliant on internships. Rolls-Royce’s Krok calls them “three-month interviews.” Manning-Clark, of the Colorado School of Mines, says former interns used to account for about half the recruits companies wanted to hire; now, it’s about 75 percent.

Tata Technologies, the Singapore-based engineering arm of India’s Tata Group conglomerate, hires 500 graduates every year in India and another 15 to 20 in North America. “We always look for the ones that have co-op experience or internship experience,” says Giulio Desando, a human resources manager at Tata. “They have the soft skills.”

At Denmark’s Maersk Oil, global recruiter Lee Paul Milligan advises students to let employers know if they’ve spent a lot of time abroad. “An international mindset is important to us,” he says. “You go to any office in the world, and you’ll find a huge vari-

ety of nationalities. I think I’ve got 10 in my own office ...

Some students forget to put down that they’ve traveled to 10 countries.”

Milligan is especially impressed with foreign exchange students, saying it takes courage to uproot yourself and study abroad, perhaps learning in a language that is not your own.

One of Maersk’s recent hires is Luzana Costa, who left her native Angola at age 13 to attend school in Philadelphia.

She wound up with a master’s in applied geosciences from the University of Pennsylvania and joined Maersk last July as a geologist, working first in the Angolan capital Luanda and later at Maersk headquarters in Copenhagen.

KILLING ZOMBIES Maersk also finds talent by sponsoring competitions.

Last year, it challenged students at Danish Technical University to help solve a problem that had been plaguing one of its North Sea oil rigs for months. Seeing the students compete helped Maersk Oil “get to know them on a more personal level,” Milligan says. “We’re benefiting; they’re benefiting.”

BP challenges students from universities in the United Kingdom, Azerbaijan, the United States and Trinidad and Tobago to offer innovative solutions to technical problems. The winning team

from each country gets to go on what BP calls “the Ultimate Field Trip” – a two-week paid internship with BP operations in London, Scotland’s Shetland Islands and Stavanger, Norway. BP has offered jobs to several of the contestants.

Google sponsors an annual competition that requires programmers from outside the company to solve algorithmic problems. Called Code Jam, the contest has been around since 2003 and last year drew nearly 21,000 contestants.

Google has hired 1,000 Code Jam participants since 2009.

The contest “allows us to see how creatively people can solve problems, their ability to think creatively and solve tough, algorithmically difficult problems,” says Lysandra Donigian, Google’s student outreach manager.

“Googlers get a chance to interact with the coders, so they get a chance to see if they would fit in.”

The contest is meant to be fun. Last year’s finals required competitors to design programs to kill zombies as they clambered out of the grave, among other challenges. The allure of the contest almost backfired with one recruit, though. Donigian says it took several years for Google to convince a two-time winner to accept a job. Joining Google, he complained, would leave him ineligible for Code Jam.

Reasons often vary for moving to new home Jerry Kuyper Reasons vary why people move from one location to another.

Some are involuntarily forced to move, across the country in some cases, because of a change of employment. Then there are those forced to move for other reasons, such as health, bankruptcy, foreclosure or eviction from a housing unit for failure to pay the rent.

Others change living locations voluntarily and, for them, the reasons better be good as moving takes time, costs money and involves work. Lots of work.

Chris Gatto moved to be closer to his children.

Newlyweds David and Michelle (Weissgerber) Tibble moved from a rental in Chicago to begin married life in their own suburban house.

The Tibbles, who previously rented an apartment in Chicago’s older Irving Park neighborhood, wanted more space and a move-in ready home. “Neither one of us are very handy people,” Michelle said.

“Renovating seemed like a nightmare we didn’t want to go through.”

They bought a townhouse at Lexington Park in Des Plaines. They are within walking distance to a Metra station, which is important for them. “I work in the city every day, and we only have one car, so it’s very important to be close to public

Lexington Park’s location between Interstates 90 and 294 helps Michelle get to her suburban acting jobs. She has performed with the Broadway National Tour of Mamma Mia! and Schoolhouse Rock Live!

Also, as owner of Chicago Balloon Twister, she travels through the suburbs to tell stories, play guitar and twist balloons at birthday parties. “From Lexington Park, I can get anywhere fairly easily,” Michelle said. “In the city, it would take me 20 minutes just to get to the highway.”

• BUILDERS Continued from page F1 Gatto is the father of 9-year-old twin sons, Andrew and Zachary, He is divorced and the children live with their mother. He has visitation rights.

When he lived in Naperville, the car drive to pick up his boys in St. Charles at their mother’s house or from school was proving to be too long and could be 50 minutes on a good day with light traffic.

Gatto, 44, yearned to live closer to his children, which could translate into spending more time with them. He sold his house in Naperville and bought a new house being used as a sales model in the Oakmont neighborhood of Mill Creek in Geneva. He moved into that model in March, shortening his drive to the children to 12 minutes.

“I contemplated having a different home built, but this model offered so much value that I couldn’t turn it down,” Gatto said. “It had just about every upgrade you could imagine, including custom paint, configured closets, upgraded Pella wood windows, a cathedral ceiling in the master bedroom, three-car garage, security system, lawn irrigation system and even pre-wiring for surround sound. Plus, the home, a former model for subdivision developer Shodeen Homes, came with all the furnishings already in place.”

The new home also offered five bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and 2,912 square feet of living space as well as an additional 1,025 square feet in the basement, which Gatto opted to have Shodeen finish into a wet bar, home office and home theater room. Today, his purchase accommodates Gatto’s now-expanded family of girlfriend Mimi and her three older children.

The Tibbles began their search for a new home after they got married in January. Their search began by driving north from Chicago.

Along the way, they spotted a billboard for Lexington Park, a community of 149 townhomes in suburban Des Plaines built by Chicago-based Lexington Homes.

“We met in Arlington Heights when we were acting in a play together, so we were familiar with the Northwest suburbs,” Tibble said. “We just drove along the Metra train line and started looking at places. Our first stop was Lexington Park. We saw one or two other townhouses after that, but Lexington set the bar pretty high. We searched online, too, and didn’t see any other homes comparable to what Lexington offered.”

The Tibbles selected the Coventry floor plan. The 1,913-square-foot home includes three bedrooms, two-and-one-half baths and an attached two-car garage.

The community offers three floor plans ranging from 1,605 to 1,913 square feet, which are priced from the low $240,000s. The threestory living units have two to three bedrooms, two-and-one-half bathrooms and attached two-

Newlyweds David and Michelle (Weissgerber) Tibble recently moved into a new townhouse at Lexington Park in Des Plaines. car garages. The community is 90 percent sold.

A tight budget left little room for upgrades.

“The nice thing about Lexington is you get all the bells and whistles with your home,” Tibble said. “We felt like we were already getting upgrades just with the standard features.”

The Tibbles did add hardwood flooring on the main level, oak rails and iron balusters on the main staircase, a master bath with a separate tub and walk-in shower; and granite countertops and ceramic tile in the entryway and baths.

“The kitchen is our favorite area of the home,” Michelle said. “There’s a large island with tons of areas for storage and plenty of room to have friends over to relax on our island bar stools over a glass of wine. Also, there’s a nice flow to the dining room and living area.”

A treadmill and pinball machine are in the finished lower level of the home. “I am a pinball fanatic,” David said. “We’re going to eventually create a theater room down there.”

The couple said they were hesitant to leave Chicago, but now have no regrets. “It took a lot for me to decide to leave the city, but now I love that I don’t have to find parking late at night when it’s zero degrees,” Michelle said.

Proximity to downtown Des Plaines also attracted the Tibbles. “I really like the neighborhood,” Michelle said. “We can walk to Shop

and Save grocery store, Panera Bread, Potbelly’s, and a great Italian restaurant. The library is awesome. After college, I had not been to a library in a long time because there wasn’t one close. Now, it’s a 10-minute walk.”

Des Plaines also delivers what the Tibbles need for the near future. “We want to have kids in the next couple of years and wanted to be in an area where our kids can go to school and be safe,” Michelle said. “The elementary schools here are really good.”

Maintenance-free living is another perk.

“Because we both have full-time jobs, and we also do acting when we can on the weekends, we don’t have time for yard work or shoveling snow,” Tibble added. “Living here, that’s all included. We’re going to stay here as long as we can.”

Lexington Park townhouses include brushed nickel lighting fixtures, private balconies, 42-inch maple cabinets and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, and a dual-bowl raised-height vanity in baths. Buyers can select options and upgrades, such as fireplaces and alternate bedroom configurations.

Meanwhile, Gatto enjoys life further to the north and west in Chicago’s suburban area.

Public schools are in Geneva’s District 304.

Besides golf, there are 127 acres of preserved wetlands, 195 acres of parks and 17 miles of nature and bike trails at Mill Creek. Open space approximates 900 acres of the master-planned community.

What did James Thurber believe is the one human achievement that made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised?

You have two four-card suits. The player on your left opens one of another suit, your partner makes a takeout double, and righty passes.

Assuming you do not have enough high-card power to jump or to cue-bid, which suit would you bid irst?

The question is easy to answer if one suit is a major and the other a minor -- you bid the major. But what if they are both majors or both minors, like South’s hand in today’s diagram? Which would you bid now?

The answer depends upon your point-count. If you have a weak hand, bid the lower-ranking. But if your hand is strong enough to bid twice, start with the higher-ranking. Then, if the auction continues and partner does not raise your suit, show the other suit on the next round.

In this deal, you should advance with one spade.

West will make a takeout double, North will pass, and

East will run to two clubs or two diamonds.

Now you rebid two hearts as planned. North might raise to three hearts or, liking his great major-suit holdings, jump to four hearts.

If he bids only three hearts, you would like to raise to three-and-a-half hearts!

The play in four hearts is easy, given the great it and friendly breaks. You will lose two clubs and one spade.

James Thurber thought that art made our move from all fours to upright walking well advised.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - In the year ahead, you could become involved in an unusual creative endeavor. If you apply yourself, you should make a profit from this new avocation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your insights should not be treated lightly, especially if they could lead to an advantage in your career and/or add some weight to your wallet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be an attentive listener, because a colleague is likely to pass on some extremely valuable information. You’ll need to read between the lines to take advantage of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A fortunate situation could develop through someone who thinks the same way you do. What transpires will be made possible through mutual trust.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your ambitious aims can be achieved if you put your mind to it. It will be important, however, that you think and act big.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When dealing with others, you can call favorable attention to yourself by being understated. A whisper commands attention, while shouting turns others off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You should pay attention to both your intuition and your common sense.

Collectively, your reasoning powers and your perceptions will be exceptionally accurate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The secret to dealing successfully with others is to treat everybody as an equal. This will be true whether dealing with your boss or an underling.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- When shopping, quality should be given priority over price when it comes to a decision between two items. Take plenty of time to study the intrinsic value of each.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- To make the kind of impression you’d like, you should take a little more time than usual to select your attire. There’s a chance you could encounter someone special.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your sincerity, compassion and warmth will be a light and an example to others. These attributes put you a cut or two above all others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Make the needs of your loved ones paramount to your own. True joy comes from being a giver rather than a getter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An unusual occurrence is likely to give you an advantage over your associates. It could also be something of a financial windfall.

WHAT’S GOING ON

PlanitNorthwest.com

™

FOOD & DRINK Most parents don’t have the time (nor kids the patience) to make ice cream from scratch. The fun isn’t in making the ice cream base, but in testing all manner of whacky-delicious things you can flavor it with. The solution? Doctored ice cream. Buy a pint of ice cream, then soften it either by leaving it on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes, or nuking it for 15 to 20 seconds. Scoop it into a really big bowl, then add whatever mix-ins do it for you. Mix well, then either serve immediately as soft serve, or transfer to a container, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and freeze until firm. Find ice cream recipes at PlanitNorthwest.com/foodanddrink.

John ‘Bo Duke’ Schneider to reunite with an original General Lee in Volo

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

I

t’s a “Yee-Haa!” waiting to happen.

John Schnieder, best known as Bo Duke from the ’80s hit television series “The Dukes of Hazzard,” will reunite June 29 with an original General Lee at the Volo Auto Museum.

In 2005, the museum purchased the bright orange 1969 Dodge Charger, with its welded doors, classic “01” on the door and Confederate flag on the roof.

One goal of Volo Auto Museum owner Brian Grams always has been to bring the cast to town.

“There is no TV show or sitcom that has a following like this,” Grams said of the “The Dukes of Hazzard,” which aired on CBS from 1979 to 1985 and featured the adventures of cousins Bo and Luke Duke.

The two lived in fictional Hazzard County, Georgia, with their cousin Daisy and their wise old Uncle Jesse as they evaded county commissioner Boss Hogg in the

General Lee. The car became a character in itself, known for its signature horn, its chases and stunts, including long, high jumps.

Few of the Dodge Chargers fashioned to become the General Lee still exist, as they were destroyed during filming or stripped for parts for future General Lees, Grams said. On average, more than one General Lee was used per show.

“Ours is completely original,” Grams said. “It hasn’t had any restoration done to it whatsoever.”

Grams himself was a fan of the show growing up, but said he often had to watch it with the volume turned down at his parents’ request as they got ready to go to the disco.

He had met Schneider years ago when the museum owned a replica of the General Lee and loaned it out for a WGN promotion featuring Schneider.

The museum now has a General Lee created during the television show’s first season. The first five episodes were filmed in Georgia, before the show moved to California. For those five episodes, eight

“General Lee” cars were built.

“They used the first seven and pretty much destroyed them before they decided to move it out to California,” Grams said.

That eighth car now sits at the museum. “It was built, but never got to screen use, so it didn’t get destroyed. If it would have gone to California, it would have been in parts.”

The car was purchased a couple of times through the years before ending up with a private owner, who, for the most part, kept the car safely in a garage, Grams said.

“The car has only had 1,200 miles put on it since 1978,” he said.

“It’s hasn’t seen the light of day too often. The car itself has been out of the limelight for the most part. A lot of people didn’t even know the car existed until we brought it to attention.”

Schneider will reunite with the car from noon to 4 p.m. June 29 at the museum, 27582 Volo Village Road, Volo. He’ll be part of a meetand-greet and offer autographs for $25.

Schneider is flying in for the

day and quickly returning to Louisiana, where he is filming “Smothered,” the horror movie he wrote and is directing, said Michael Gursey, president of John Schnieder’s Fairlight Films.

The latest project is one of numerous self-written scripts Schneider intends to direct through his relatively new film company, Gursey said.

After “Dukes,” Schneider went on to appear in numerous film and television roles. In the 1980s, he released nine country albums, a greatest hits package and 18 sing-

les, which landed at the top of the Billboard country single’s chart.

In another well-known role, he played Jonathan Kent from 2001 to 2011 in the television series “Smallville.”

Yet, to fans of the “Dukes of Hazzard,” he’ll always be a good ol’ boy.

“He obviously has a very solid attachment,” Gursey said of Schneider’s willingness to promote all things “Dukes of Hazzard.” “All the members of the Dukes’ cast really feel the same way.”

JOHN SCHNEIDER “Bo Duke” of ’80s series “The Dukes of Hazzard” reunites with the General Lee WHEN: Noon to 4 p.m. June 29 WHERE: Volo Auto Museum, 27582 Volo Village Road, Volo COST & INFO: The museum’s special event rate applies. Tickets cost $19.90 per adult; $17.90 per senior; and $13.90 per child. Meet-and-greet is included in general admission. Autographs are $25, payable to John Schneider.

Bickering heats up buddy film “The Heat”

HHH

STARRING: Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Marlon Wayans, Michael Rappaport

PLOT: An uptight FBI special agent (Bullock)

By JEFFREY WESTHOFF The groundbreaking “Bridesmaids” put director Paul Feig and co-star Melissa McCarthy onto the A-list. They reunite for “The Heat,” pulling Sandra Bullock into their potty-mouthed orbit.

Just as “Bridesmaids” wasn’t the first film to put a cast of women in a raunchy MORE comedy, “The Heat” is ONLINE not the first to do a female Watch the take on “Lethal Weapon.” trailer to Like “Bridesmaids,” “The Heat” at though, “The Heat” is the PlanitNorthfirst one to do it right. west.com For the first two-thirds, anyway.

Bullock and McCarthy are law enforcement officers forced to work together on a big Boston drug case. Both have alienated their male coworkers, although for opposite reasons.

Bullock’s FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn rigidly follows regulations, and she lords it over the men on her team when she finds evidence they overlooked.

must partner with an out of control Boston PD detective (McCarthy) to capture a mysterious drug kingpin.

RATED: R for pervasive language, strong crude content and some violence RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 57 minutes McCarthy’s Detective Shannon Mullins is such an undisciplined bulldog of a cop that the men in her precinct are terrified of her. So is everyone else. If any of the citizens she routinely brutalizes ever hired a lawyer, the rest of the precinct wouldn’t have to worry about her much longer.

While there is a lot of Murtaugh and Riggs in Ashburn’s and Mullins’ partnership, there is also a lot of Felix and Oscar. Ashburn is prissy and makes controlled gestures, while Mullins is a slob who moves like a swerving dump truck. The most scandalous words to pass Ashburn’s lips are “bull poo poo,” while Mullins cusses thoroughly enough to make every sailor in the fleet blush.

Their personalities clash, as they were designed to, and Bullock and McCarthy are hilarious as they trade insults and criticisms. “The Heat” may feature the first good cop/bad cop routine where the bad cop assaults the good

cop instead of the suspect.

The women are competitive as well, trying to be the first to do everything.

This leads to some fine physical comedy, such as the moment each refuses to let the other enter an apartment building first, so they go through the door with their legs tangled every which way.

This also leads to an odd and unnecessary scene where a botched attempt at an emergency tracheotomy becomes a bloody mess.

While the two women bicker with each other, the script by “Parks and Recreation” writer Katie Dippold never lets us forget that the men of the world are arrayed against them as well – although their immediate supervisors, Demián Bichir (“A Better Life”) of the FBI and Tom Wilson (Biff from the “Back to the Future” series) of the Boston PD, are supportive in small ways. A DEA agent wants Ashburn and Mullins off the case because their estrogen will get in the way, and one of the villainous drug lords proposes a disturbingly misogynistic torture.

With several references to “Foul Play,” particularly its albino assassin, Feig and Dippold indicate they want “The Heat” to work as a thriller as well as a comedy. For a while, Feig subtly carves away the clichés of cop movies.

Listen for Bullock’s response when McCarthy says, “There’s our man.” Later, an evidence tech’s moment of glory is ruined when the two women jump to all his conclusions.

“White House Down”

PlanitNorthwest.com • Thursday, June 27, 2013

STARRING: Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jason Clarke PLOT: While on a tour of the White House with his young daughter, a Capitol officer springs into action to save his child and protect the president from a heavily armed group of paramilitary invaders.

• HEAT Continued from page 15 But buddy cop movies carry their own code of clichés. Eventually “The Heat” succumbs to them, and not to point them out ironically.

This decline starts with the inevitable moment when Mullins brings Ashburn to a dive and gets her uptight partner drunk. They then bond while dancing to classic rock songs on the jukebox. They do not, thankfully, sing karaoke.

After that, the rest of the story is predictable. I lost track of the number of times

Ashburn and Mullins get thrown off the case. The identity of the mysterious drug lord is easy to guess. Just look for the character who keeps turning up yet doesn’t appear to serve a purpose in the story.

In keeping with the film’s themes, the male actors don’t have much to do. Michael Rappaport plays McCarthy’s brother, whom she sent away on drug charges. Marlon Wayans plays an FBI agent who is nice to Bullock, but she is too dense to realize it.

Jane Curtin plays McCarthy’s mother, angry that she sent Rappaport to prison, but

Curtin is all but wasted in the role.

Early on, “The Heat” earns a hard R rating for its language. Eventually it earns it for its sometimes sadistic carnage as well, which the MPAA helpfully defines as “some violence.” A torture scene is played for laughs, which is a nervy move that Feig gets away with. But the more obvious joke of McCarthy pulling her weapon on an unarmed civilian isn’t funny the first time, and by the 12th time it becomes a civil rights issue.

Even though the cop plot becomes routine near the

end, the humor still pulls out some surprises. The rivalry between Bullock and McCarthy during the first two-thirds of the movie is breathtakingly funny. It is also difficult to describe because much of it is physical, and McCarthy’s dialogue cannot be reprinted in a family newspaper.

The name of the buddy cop genre implies the cops must become buddies, so we know the spark that drives the comedy between Bullock and McCarthy must fade at some point. But while this spark glows, “The Heat” is so outrageously funny it makes up for a disappointing third act.

Danny Wright, Jerry Lee headline National Piano Conference at Raue Center

F

rom the rockabilly music of Jerry Lee Lewis to the classical hits of famed pianist Danny Wright, the best in piano playing comes to the Raue Center for the Arts this weekend.

The four-day National Piano Conference begins June 27 with the area’s top young players taking the stage at the Raue, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake.

The performances that follow celebrate artists who were born to play.

“It sounds corny, but it’s true,” said Lance Lipinsky, who plays Jerry Lee Lewis in the Chicago cast of “Million Dollar Quartet.” “It’s the role I was supposed to play. Who’d ever think something like that would actually exist.”

The long-running musical is inspired by the famed Sun Record recording session that brought together icons Lewis, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins.

Lipinsky will perform Saturday in “Jerry Lee & Friends: An Evening with The King, The Killer and Cash.” Joining him are Cody Slaughter as Elvis and Adam Lee as Johnny Cash. Slaughter has performed as part of the national touring cast of “Million Dollar Quartet,” while Lee will be joining the Chicago cast of the musical. He makes his Illinois premiere at the Raue.

“They’re just like icing on the cake,” Lipinsky said.

A Texas native, Lipinsky grew up studying his father’s record collection of Lewis, Elvis and Roy Orbison. Originally a guitar player, he borrowed a friend’s keyboard at age 13 and taught himself to play.

He said he didn’t really learn properly, but learned his own way.

“I play it like a guitar almost,” he said of the piano. “I do a lot of little simple repetitive things that are easy to do, but stick out in people’s minds more. It’s similar to Jerry Lee, the wildness and the energy.”

As part of the show, he said he hopes to interact with the audience, take questions and talk about piano playing, amid performances of Lewis’ hits as the icon himself.

“There’s no script here,” he said. “It’s all just pure music. The cool thing with this is

NATIONAL PIANO CONFERENCE WHEN: June 27-30 WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake COST & INFO: For the complete festival lineup, visit www.rauecenter.org. they do want me to talk as much as I can about the piano because that’s what the theme is. If they allow me the freedom, I’ll talk up a storm.”

The performance will showcase the roots of rockabilly, which evolved into rock ’n’ roll.

On the more classical, New Age side, pianist and composer Danny Wright will tell another story through his music June 30.

His is the story of the way in which music heals. Along with many of the hits featured in the 6 million albums he’s sold in his 30-year career, Wright will perform songs from his new double album, “Reflections.”

Aside from a dedicated cover of “Moonlight in Vermont,” the album features original songs written specifically by request for fans in honor of loved ones. The names of the people the songs were written for are included in the CD jacket.

“For years, I’ve been asked to write these special compositions,” Wright said. “It just came out really, really beautiful. It’s probably my finest work in my 30-year career.”

Wright said he receives daily messages from fans who’ve been inspired, even healed by his music, as they face life struggles, such as alcoholism and

other ailments. Other songs reflect celebrations, such as weddings or anniversaries.

Those messages, as well as some of his own personal struggles, inspired the latest album. No personal tale is too small, he said, and his songs reflect real-life experiences.

“I just think all of life’s experiences from the beginning to now have really taught me what it’s like to be the best person I can be,” he said. “This is probably the best place I’ve ever been in my life, and it’s really reflected in my music.”

Wright started playing piano by ear at age 4, playing the theme from “Dr. Zhivago” in the family’s living room.

He rose to fame in the late-1980s with his “Black and White” series, but faced some ups and downs through the years.

After the 1990s, he said he had to learn how to get his music out into modern media, such as iTunes and Amazon, as more record stores folded.

In the past year, he’s started his own Las Vegas-based independent record label and has worked to rerelease a catalog of songs previously recorded, some of which were never released.

Naïve at a young age, he said he learned how important it is to trust the people working with you.

“I was young, and I didn’t know it, and they were taking 40 percent of everything I was making and hiding it and confiscating it,” he said.

Later, the loss of both of his parents deeply affected him, leading to depression. He turned to faith, and now knows his parents are watching over him and very proud, he said.

“In my life, I have become a very spiritual person,” he said. “Through my spirituality, this beautiful music is flowing out of me.”

TASTE SOME FUN Bands, pickles highlight daylong Pickle Palooza

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

C

ome for the pickles, the music or both, say organizers of the second annual Woodstock Pickle Palooza.

With the Woodstock-based Claussen Pickle/Kraft Foods on hand to give out free pickles, the daylong, family event features pickle-themed contests as well as the music of some of the area’s most popular bands.

“We were trying to come up with a festival that was unique to Woodstock, and a natural fit was Claussen Pickles because they are one of the long-standing manufacturers in McHenry County,” said Shari Gray, executive director of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce, which hosts the event.

Scaled back from two days last year, this year’s festival takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. June 29 at the grounds of Woodstock HarleyDavidson.

Tickets cost $10 at the door for those 11 and older or $7 in advance at www.woodstockpicklepalooza.com.

Cassandra Vohs-Demann, an area songwriter, performer and owner of A Place to Shine Music in Woodstock, will serve as master of ceremonies and will perform throughout the day.

Bands performing include The University, Spoken Four, “Karaoke Battle USA” winner Josh Scholl, Johnny Russler & the Beach Bum Band, Suburban Cowboys and Wedding Banned, which comes from Gas City, Ind., and plays ’80s and ’90s hits.

The band was voted “Best wedding band in Chicago” by CBS Chicago and “Best dance band in Chicago” by “Chicago Rocker Magazine.”

With the single “City Lights” released on iTunes and elsewhere, Scholl, of Lake in the Hills, has been performing throughout the Chicago area

WOODSTOCK PICKLE PALOOZA WHEN: 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.

He fronts the ’80s tribute act, “The Breakfast Club,” and his vocal styling has been compared to Steve Perry and Freddie Mercury.

With a repertoire of more than 500 songs, Scholl said he’ll be reading the crowd Saturday.

“I’m going to be seeing what the crowd wants to hear, and I’ll give it to them,” he said.

He praised his fans for the support they’ve given him the past year and a half.

Since “Karaoke Battle USA,” he said he’s been taking more of a grass-roots approach to the music business and has learned a lot about the industry.

• PICKLE Continued from page 20 “Looking back, it’s very surreal, just getting swept up in it all,” he said. “It happened so quickly. I learned very much about reality TV. Unless you’re constantly on the forefront and onto the next thing, staying relevant in this day and age is very difficult.

“I’m definitely the wiser for it. It made me more confident that I’m on the right path. I know I can make a difference if I can just get my voice out there.”

Organizers of the festival sought to really emphasize the pickle theme this year, with games such as the Partner Pickle Toss, Pass the Pickle and Find the Pickle. In Find the Pickle, contestants must find a Claussen pickle hidden in whipped cream.

“You don’t get to use your hands, just your face to find the pickle,” Gray said.

Arlene Lynes of Woodstock’s Read Between the Lynes will host a couple of readings of “Pickle-Chiffon Pie,” along with crafts.

The Woodstock VFW will sell burgers, brats and hot dogs throughout the day, with the proceeds going toward helping veterans.

ROB CARROLL WITH MUSIC’S NEW RELEASES

Bret Michaels “Jammin’ With Friends” 1/2 star

FEATURED RELEASE Mavis Staples

“One True Vine” HHHH Comeback stories are great, and when it’s someone who seems as sweet and down-to-earth as Mavis Staples, it’s even better.

There’s been renewed interest in the 73-year-old soul and gospel singer’s career in recent years. Staples won a Grammy for Best Americana Album for 2010’s “You Are Not Alone.”

That album was produced by fellow Chicago native and Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy, and was one of the liveliest efforts turned in by Staples.

The two have gotten back together for “One True Vine,” a new release of covers and original material that was written by Tweedy and Nick Lowe.

The songs penned by Tweedy are fairly simple musical arrangements. On both the title track and “Jesus Wept,” its Staples’ dynamic voice that carries the songs.

On this album, Staples takes a more reserved approach when delivering her lyrics.

“One True Vine” isn’t as upbeat as her last album, but it doesn’t need to be. This is easy Sunday morning listening at its finest.

Cover songs help round out the rest of the album. Among them are her versions of Funkadelic’s “Can You Get To That” and the Staple Singers’ “I Like The Things About Me.” The latter gets an updated sound complete with a fuzz-covered guitar solo. It’s a great take on the song that proves reimagining old hits can still be worthwhile if it’s done right.

Tweedy plays nearly every instrument on the album except drums, which were played by his 17-year-old son, Spencer. The two provide a solid musical backbone while getting out of the way to let Staples do her thing.

“One True Vine” is yet another solid effort from a classic voice that deserves to be heard.

The only logical reason for Poison lead singer and longtime reality show bachelor Bret Michaels recording “Jammin’ With Friends” was him finding a bunch of names of musicians in the contacts of his smartphone.

We’ll get to that smartphone in a second. But, first, we need to get some other things out of the way.

Just because you met Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray on the set of “Celebrity Apprentice” doesn’t mean you have to have him sing along with your strained vocals on “Talk Dirty To Me.” Just because you couldn’t decide which version of “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” to put on the album doesn’t mean you had to include both of them.

Just because you once appeared on stage with Jimmy Buffett in Detroit to sing “Margaritaville” doesn’t mean the rest of us who were not there that night need to hear it.

Just because you met Lil Jon on the set of “Celebrity Apprentice” doesn’t mean you have to have him sing along with your strained vocals on “Nothin’ But A Good Time.”

Just because you couldn’t decide which version of “Nothin’ But A Good Time” to put on the album doesn’t mean you had to include both of them.

Just because you’re just figuring out that whole social media thing doesn’t mean the rest of us are just getting up to speed. But, thanks for letting us know you have a smartphone, Facebook and Twitter on “The App Song.”
