Governor’s commission looking at sentencing laws in hopes of reducing prison population

EVALUATION Story by CHELSEA McDOUGALL • cmcdougall@shawmedia.com Graphic by KRISTINA PETERS • kpeters@shawmedia.com A commission to re-evaluate Illinois’ sentencing laws, and eventually reduce the state’s prison population, is moving forward under Gov. Bruce Rauner. With the new Commission on Criminal Justice and Sentencing Reform, Rauner has tasked the panel to find ways to reduce the prison population by 25 percent in the next 10 years. It’s a pretty tall order, but as one prison watchdog group put it: “We’d rather it be 50 percent in five years,” said Jennifer Vollen-Katz, interim executive director of the John Howard Association of Illinois, which works to achieve a fair, humane and cost-effective criminal justice system by promoting adult

and juvenile prison reform. Rauner isn’t the first politician to look at criminal justice reform, nor is he likely to be the last. But reforms typically have little chance for becoming law, Vollen-Katz said, because it can be politically unpopular to be anything but “tough on crime.” “People don’t win elections on the issue of criminal justice reform,” Vollen-Katz said. Prison overcrowding has been regarded as an issue upon which those on either side of the political spectrum tend to agree. On the far left, it’s a moral issue; for those on the right, it’s a financial one. See EVALUATION, page A6

HUNTLEY – A Huntley man was charged Tuesday with murdering his wife days after police responded to the couple’s home for a domestic violence incident. Domestic battery charges against Edward E. Hartgraves, 64, were upgraded to first-degree murder after his wife, 63-year-old Carol S. Hartgraves, died from injuries she sustained in the March 20 attack. Edward Hartgraves remains in custody of the McHenry County Jail in lieu of $5 million bond. He is scheduled to appear Friday before McHenry County Judge Gordon Graham. According to court documents, Edward Hartgraves pushed, strangled and punched Carol multiple times in the face. Her injuries required six stitches to her chin and she had a broken arm, police said. Police said Carol Hartgraves was bleeding from the chin and was disoriented when she spoke with police Friday. Friday was the second time police have been called to the couple’s 10505 Longfield Drive home since they moved there in January. Edward Hartgraves was charged Feb. 22 with violat-

That order – out of Cook County – said Edward should not consume alcohol in the presence of Carol. H i s F e b r u a r y m i s d emeanor case still was pending when Edward Hartgraves was arrested and charged March 20 with felony domestic battery stemming from this incident. He posted $6,000 bond and was released the next day. Earlier this month, McHenry County Judge Charles Weech granted a defense motion to modify a condition of Edward’s bond that allowed him to move back into the marital home with Carol on the condition he not consume alcohol. That order was entered on March 6. Two weeks later Carol Hartgraves died at Centegra Hospital – Woodstock. The cause of death was not released by the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.

Earthquake hits Lake in the Hills By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – A 2.9-magnitude earthquake hit Lake in the Hills shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. An earthquake of this magnitude can happen just about anywhere on the earth’s crust, even places that don’t have a history of earthquakes, said Rafael Abreu, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Earthquake Center in Golden, Colorado. Wednesday’s earthquake was a very minor one with weak to light shaking and that typically results in no damage, the report said. The impact could be felt

in Crystal Lake, Algonquin and Huntley, according to submissions to the U.S. Geological Survey. A November 2013 earthquake hit the Chicago suburbs – that time on the southwest side – following a quarry blast in McCook. No reports of damage or injuries resulted. The city of McHenry was the epicenter of a 2.4-magnitude earthquake in January 2012. One of the largest earthquakes to hit Illinois occurred in April 2008 when a 5.4-magnitude earthquake hit southern Illinois causing minor structural damage. The impact was felt through the Midwest and as far away as Georgia, Nebraska and southern Ontario.

Schock joins long line of disgraced Ill. politicos SPRINGFIELD – There’s really no mystery how Congressional wunderkind Aaron Schock fell from grace so rapidly. It’s simple, it’s too common in politics, and it’s spelled H-U-B-R-I-S. Schock, suspected of lavish spending of taxpayer dollars, is calling it quits after the bright lights turned hot very fast. In more than four high-profile terms, he ignored a parade of Illinois politicians who’d pulled similar stunts of self-indulgence before him. And the 33-year-old Congressman became so enraptured with his own success and image he lost sight of the people he was in Washington to serve. While fundraising, he once said, “I’ve never forgotten where I come from, what values matter most and how you want me to lead.” And that message came from the same fella who posed shirtless on the cover of Men’s Health magazine sporting his six-pack abs?

LOTTERY

VIEWS Scott Reeder Come on, guy, you’re from Peoria. The only six-packs people care about there have blue ribbons painted on them. I should know. I grew up not far away in Galesburg. And did Schock really think the folks scarfing down corn biscuits at the Cracker Barrel in Bloomington related to their congressman? He spent $40,000 having his Washington, D.C., office redecorated in the style of British aristocrats. Red paint, gilded picture frames and, yes, pheasant feathers. Whatever happened to “egg-shell white” and gray steel desks for a government office? Anyway, the unusual décor caught the eye of a Washington Post reporter who wrote a story. Others started

scouring the congressman’s financial records. The results weren’t pretty. Schock misspent tens of thousands in tax dollars while ordinary folks back in central Illinois were struggling to pay mortgages. In fact, enough financial irregularities cropped up that the congressman up and quit. He is hardly the first Illinois politician to blaze out. Remember former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.? He is serving time after spending $750,000 in campaign funds for his personal use. He bought two stuffed elk heads, but no pheasant feathers, to hang on his office wall. And, hey, Jackson got heat for other things, such as having an affair with a swimsuit model. Schock, on the other hand, could be a swimsuit model. And then there is U.S. Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, who stole $50,000 in stamps from the House post office and spent $40,000 on furniture, fine china

and crystal. (No pheasant feathers were found, though.) Rostenkowski ended up in prison, too. And don’t forget Rod Blagojevich, who – with his wife – spent $400,000 on clothes while he was governor. Clothes, but no pheasant feathers. Rod ended up in prison, too. Consider what Schock’s father, Richard, told a TV reporter about his son: “Two years from now he’ll be successful, if he’s not in jail.” Success can breed arrogance and arrogance entitlement. Perhaps Schock wishes he studied a long line of prominent Illinois politicians who squandered the public trust with acts of self-indulgence.

The 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act require potentially major sources of air emissions to obtain federally enforceable operating permits. A FESOP permit allows a source that is potentially major to take operational limits in the permit so that it is a non-major source. The permit will contain federally enforceable limitations that restrict the facility’s emissions to non-major levels. The permit will be enforceable by the USEPA, as well as the Illinois EPA.

Man taken to hospital after collapsing at zoning hearing

Woman charged with church burglary

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A medical emergency abruptly ended a zoning hearing over a controversial request to allow a Nunda Township home to operate as a bed and breakfast. A male neighbor who opposes granting Michael and Jacqueline Nakamura a conditional use permit to operate the business at 5809 E. Hillside Road fell over after delivering his testimony just under 90 minutes into the Wednesday afternoon hearing before the McHenry County Zoning

Board of Appeals. A zoning board member began administering CPR until the Woodstock Fire Rescue District arrived, according to witnesses. Paramedics took the man to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock, fire Capt. Brendan Parker said. He said he could not give the man’s name, citing privacy laws, and county planning and development staff likewise declined to divulge it from the notes taken. Neighbors oppose granting the permit for the property that is just less than 3 acres,

arguing it is not a good fit for the neighborhood and alleging the petitioners have been operating a business out of the home, such as hosting weddings, without the proper zoning. A file is open with the McHenry County Planning and Development Department regarding the lack of a permit. The city of Crystal Lake, which borders the property, strongly opposes the proposal, as well. The hearing, which had almost concluded at the time of the emergency, will continue April 15.

the past 18 years. “Tom was a friend to a large amount of people,” Sagona said. “He was witty. ... He was talented as far as his people skills and being able to talk and communicate with people. He was a musician and an indepth thinker.” Stock leaves behind his wife, two daughters and one son, Sagona said. Longtime friend and neighbor Joe DeMay, a Lake in the Hills planning and zoning commissioner, recalled the time Stock was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. DeMay said he and Stock moved into a new Lake in the Hills neighborhood at about the same time 20 years ago. Their kids, similar in age,

grew up together, he said. “[When he was diagnosed], that was a complete surprise,” DeMay said. “He wasn’t a smoker, and it just floored everybody. But he had a great spirit throughout the whole thing, never complaining and always optimistic.” DeMay said he just had been at a planning and zoning meeting with Stock last week. “I was just really fortunate to have him as a buddy and as a neighbor,” DeMay said. The visitation will be from 3 to 8 p.m. Monday at St. Mary’s Catholic Church of Huntley, 10307 Dundee Road, Huntley. There also will be a visitation at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at the same location before the 10:30 a.m funeral service.

No items were taken, and the damage was contained to the safe and filing cabinets, Woodstock Police Chief Robert Lowen said. Madsen was identified as a suspect Tuesday, and she voluntarily responded to an interview request by Woodstock detectives at the police department, the release said. Madsen was arrested the same day and taken to the McHenry County Jail where she remains in custody in lieu of an $85,000 bond. Her next court appearance is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday. – Emily Coleman

Hills Fire Protection District was dispatched just before 2:30 a.m. to 1440 Braewood Drive in Algonquin for a report of a fire in the second-floor bathroom of a single-family home, Chief Patrick Mullen said. Firefighters extinguished the fire within 25 minutes, but remained at the scene until 5 a.m., officials said. Mullen said the fire gutted the bathroom, damaged the attic and left the home uninhabitable. Officials estimated the fire caused at least $30,000 in damage. The residents – a husband and wife – have found other lodging, Mullen said. One of the residents was transported to an area hospital as a precaution, he said. Officials reported no one was injured in the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation. – Katie Dahlstrom

Expansion of school Infrastructure projects to decrease more than half done Budget deficit estimated at $110K; village reserves to be used on roads High school construction continues during spring break By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Construction workers this week tore up the floor to what eventually will be the new Huntley High School library and resource center, as the ongoing $34.95 million expansion project recently eclipsed the 60 percent completion mark. With students away on spring break, crews started ripping up the west gym floor and began the early work to convert the space into the school’s new learning resource center, which will replace Huntley High’s current library by this fall. Depending on the weather, construction on the last piece to the expansion project – a two-story classroom wing – also could start during spring break, as crews continue to build the school’s new fieldhouse and prepare for other expansion work, said Doug Renkosik, operations and maintenance director for Huntley School District 158. “When students come back for the fall of 2015, they’ll have the fieldhouse, the new learning resource center and the new cafeteria,” Renkosik said. Construction on the interior and exterior to the high

“

school has been steady in the two years since District 158 started about $3.64 million in renovations to the school’s athletic fields. Paid through a state construction grant, the overall $34.95 million expansion project reconfigures school spaces and creates numerous additions to accommodate the 3,000 students expected at Huntley High by the end of the decade. The entire expansion project remains on budget and on target for substantial completion by June 1, 2016, Renkosik said. Aside from the athletic improvements, Huntley High students have seen an upgraded main entrance and a new student parking lot open. Because of winter weather complications, the school’s new fieldhouse likely will open in June – one month behind the original deadline for the interior addition, Renkosik said. With a new cafeteria and resource center expected to be open in the fall, crews soon will shift their focus to the two-story classroom addition. Located on the school’s west side, the addition will house science labs and other classrooms for the larger student body. Workers will try and enclose the new classroom wing by the winter, allowing them to work through the winter on the interior and meet the June 2016 deadline, Renkosik said. “It’s always a horse race from the spring to the winter,” he said.

High and low intensity workouts both pay off

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com LAKEWOOD – This year marks the last year the village of Lakewood will be able to invest in infrastructure with the savings it has in the bank, the village manager told the Lakewood Village Board at a budget workshop Tuesday evening. The budget projects a deficit of about $110,000, which represents about a third of the village’s road maintenance budget and will be paid for using reserves, according to board documents. The drawdown is less than last year, when $400,000 was used to fund road and sewer work. The village had been investing heavily in infrastructure over the last several years, using the reserves the

Will my pain go away over time? tra, an internal medicine physician at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, Ill., says that any exercise really is good exercise. “I encourage my patients to pick an exercise routine that they enjoy so they will stick with it,” he says. “This study shows that the combination of a healthy diet with different types of exercise resulted in not only weight loss, but also loss of high-risk fat around the midsection.”

building department use. It doesn’t include the promotion of an officer to a sergeant. The promotion would have made it impossible for every other village employee to get a raise, Peterson said. If the revenue comes through – a distinct possibility with the housing market rebooting with at least 20 new house starts on the horizon – the funding of that position should be at the top of the list, Village President Erin Smith said. Trustee Beverly Thomas agreed, adding that the knowledge the officer brings is really key to the department. The looming unknown is what will happen with the state, but Peterson said she doesn’t anticipate any major changes to the budget because they’re planning conservatively.

Should you work out at a higher intensity for a short period of time or a lower intensity for a longer period of time? The answer, either. But the higher intensity workout can reap more benefits, as well. A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine looked at 300 obese people and assigned them to short, high intensity workouts or long, low intensity workouts. Participants ate a healthy diet, but were not given a specific caloric intake. Overall, they found that both groups decreased their waist circumference, but the group working out at the higher intensity level was also able to decrease blood glucose levels. “Higher intensity can be achieved simply by increasing the incline while walking on a treadmill or walking at a brisker pace,” said Robert Ross, PhD, lead study author, in a press release. “Participants were surprised by how easy it was for them to attain a high intensity exercise level.” According to Dr. Deepak Mi-

All-you-can-eat pizza fundraiser set Event to benefit man still battling Ewing sarcoma

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com CARY – Jake Kaplan was a 15-year-old student at CaryGrove High School when a dentist found a lump in his mouth during a routine dental exam. Nearly 12 years later, he still is fighting the cancer that came from that discovery. The Ewing sarcoma diagnosis has put the now-27-year-old through four major surgeries, including a jaw resection, his dad, Bruce Kaplan, said. However, that in addition to radiation treatment has not been enough. “He now has tumors in his brain, jaw, neck and lungs as the cancer has spread,” Bruce wrote in an email. “He has lost the use of one eye, and half his face is numb. He is literally fighting for his life.” His sister, Amy Johnson, has organized a fundraiser in hopes of offsetting the cost of upcoming treatments, which are unconventional in nature

Jake Kaplan, 27, of Cary has been battling cancer since he was a 15-year-old Cary-Grove High School student. A fundraiser for his medical expenses is planned for 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday at Galati’s Hideaway, 800 Feinberg Court, Cary. and, therefore, not covered under Jake’s health insurance. Sponsored by the Crystal Lake Lions Club Foundation, the all-you-can-eat pizza event will be from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday at Galati’s Hideaway, 800 Feinberg Court, Cary. Attendees will be able to partake in a raffle and silent auction, as well as enjoy live music from two bands, In-lawnois and Marquis Brothers, Bruce said. The entry fee is $25, of which some will go to the restaurant and the rest will be

directed toward Jake’s future treatments. Johnson said the past 12 years have been a roller coaster. He described periods of remission that only were followed by more bad news. “He’s literally been all over the world and all over the country seeking health,” Johnson said. She added there is no set dollar-amount goal for the upcoming fundraiser. She said most recently, Jake has traveled to Arizona

to receive inpatient treatment for between two to four weeks for $3,000 a week, according to information from his mom. Soon, he’s expected to receive outpatient care for $1,500 a week for a minimum eight to 12 weeks. “The amount of treatment ahead of him is hard to say,” Johnson said. “I mean, this has already been going on for 12 years. Really, anything will help.” For more information and updates on Jake, go to the Jake’s Journey Facebook page. For those who want to make a donation, checks can be made out to the Lions of Crystal Lake Foundation, with the memo: FBO Jake Kaplan, and can be delivered to PO box 48 in Crystal Lake.

Rauner: Ill. has one of the most crowded prison systems • EVALUATION Continued from page A1 “Whether you lead with your heart or with your wallet, the important thing is reform,” Vollen-Katz said. “It doesn’t matter why you’re coming to table, the important thing is that reform is on the table.” Rauner’s 28-member commission will look for ways to reduce the rate of imprisonment in Illinois by analyzing the criminal justice system as a whole – from the time someone is arrested to their release and re-entry into the community. The commission includes experts from nonprofits, academia and law enforcement, as well as lawmakers, including St. Charles Republican state Sen. Karen McConnaughay, who represents a portion of McHenry County. “Our criminal justice system and sentencing procedures are long overdue for a

thorough analysis and overhaul,” McConnaughay said in a statement. “Exploring options aimed at reducing recidivism and helping people reintegrate into society will not only help people live happier, healthier lives, but also will reduce overcrowding in our prisons and save the taxpayers money.” Rauner said Illinois has one of the most crowded prison systems in the country. The Illinois Department of Corrections imprisons 48,277 adults in a system that’s designed to hold 33,000. Furthermore, the Illinois prison population has swelled 700 percent over the past 40 years, though crime has fallen 20 percent. Those involved in the local criminal justice system said the big reason for the surge is state laws putting mandatory minimum sentences on nonviolent crimes, tying judges’ hands and forcing hefty sentences. “Mandatory minimums literally say to the judge, ‘We

don’t trust you. We don’t think you’re capable of coming up with a fair sentence so we’re going to take this out of your hands,’ ” Crystal Lake-based criminal defense attorney Robert Deters said. “And the judges, they’re straitjacketed.” Once in prison, housing inmates is incredibly expensive. Taxpayers spend $1.3 billion on the Department of Corrections each year, and an additional $131 million on the Department of Juvenile Justice each year, Rauner said in his executive order. “The commission should really consider who we’re putting in prison and consider the economic consequences of keeping nonviolent drug offenders in custody for many years,” McHenry County criminal defense attorney Dan Hoffman said. “The amount of money that’s spent on incarceration for these offenders really is not justified.” Those convicted of delivering any amount of drugs within 1,000 feet of a park, school or

church automatically face at least six years in prison. “I think there’s a misapprehension that everybody in prison is a violent offender, and that is not the case,” Hoffman said. “Class X felonies are so easily obtainable for nonviolent offenses.” Rauner called the state’s recidivism rate “dangerously high.” Forty-eight percent of adult inmates and 53.5 percent of juveniles released from incarceration return to prison within three years, perpetuating a vicious and costly cycle, Rauner said. “As we reduce our prison population, we need to invest in community resources,” Vollen-Katz said. “One thing that concerns me, frankly, is we’re seeing a lot of social service agencies getting hit hard with budget cuts. We’re going to need those community supports available if we decrease our prison population.”

Peters given 2 weeks to put gripes with attorneys in writing • PETERS Continued from page A3 and his wheelchair confinement is a ploy to gain sympathy from a jury. At an earlier court appearance, Peters had complained of knee pain, and wailed in the courtroom that “they’re taking it out on me.” He had walked with a cane when he first came before Judge Sharon Prather.

Speaking to Prather, Peters said he had lingering pain in his back, knees and pelvis from prior military service. Judge Prather didn’t rule on Combs’ oral motion to ban Peters from using a wheelchair, instead granting two weeks for Peters’ attorneys to respond. His next court date is April 8. Peters’ attorneys, public defenders Rick Behof and Angelo Mourelatos, also put it on the record that Peters had filed a complaint against his defense

team with the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission. The ARDC declined to investigate. Peters told Prather that Behof and Mourelatos weren’t doing enough on his behalf. He said he wanted a special public defender, which only is granted when the Public Defender’s Office has a conflict. In this case, there is no conflict. “When you’re represented by the Public Defender’s Office you can’t pick and choose your

lawyer,” Prather told Peters. “If you have money, you can do that – you can hire your own attorney.” Peters said he wasn’t prepared fully to address all his gripes with his representation, so the judge granted him two weeks to put them in writing. His case is set for trial April 27. Peters is charged with multiple counts of attempted murder of a police officer and weapon charges. He has pleaded not guilty.

Edward Hartgraves had previous battery charges • CHARGES Continued from page A1 Terry Slaw, Hartgraves’ attorney on the misdemeanor case, could not immediately be reached, but in court documents he said that maintaining separate households would be a financial hardship on both Edward, who is retired, and Carol Hartgraves, who was financially dependent on him. In the earlier incident, Carol Hartgraves reported her husband had physically and verbally abused her. Edward threatened to kill her, court documents revealed. Edward Hartgraves previously was charged with domestic battery in November 2014 in Cook County when the couple lived in Schaumburg. “Unfortunately ... it’s a cycle,” said Huntley Deputy Police Chief Mike Klunk speaking generally on domestic violence. “Sometimes things progressively get worse.” Of the past four homicides in Huntley over the past six

years, all have been domestic violence-related, Klunk said. The last incident was a murder-suicide in May 2014. Before that, it was March 2012, when Robert Signorile killed his live-in girlfriend in a case that’s eerily similar to this incident. In both, the couple were new to town, and the defendant had shown a pattern of physical abuse and alcoholism. Signorile was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 40 years in prison. Turning Point Executive Director Jane Farmer said she was saddened to learn of Carol Hartgraves’ death. She said it’s not uncommon for domestic violence to escalate. Victims of domestic violence should know they have options, Farmer said, and take the step to use the resources available to them like the 24-hour crisis line at 800-892-8900. “I think it’s incredibly difficult,” Farmer said. “But there are resources for them. And they have to make themselves available for those resources.”

Candidates look to bring new businesses to village • RICHMOND Continued from page A3 she wants to work to bring in more business but with the community’s small-town character in mind. “This is a small town, and most of the things the board discusses is about reviving the town and making people come into town,” Hollenbach said. “I just want to keep working for my town. These are my people. Some of the [candidates] have only lived here seven or eight years and don’t really know the town.” Nelson came to Richmond eight years ago with his wife after seeing the potential in the village. Nelson’s wife opened a Richmond location of her McHenry-based Kiddy Korner thrift store, but Nelson said there still are improvements Richmond needs in its business community. Nelson said his wife had very little assistance in finding a location in Richmond because the village’s business consultant is based in Milwaukee and out of touch with the community. He said the village needs to work more with the Richmond-Spring Grove Chamber of Commerce and act more quickly to attract business. “We have 250,000 vehicles pass through here every weekend. If we could get just 10 percent of them to stop, it would make a drastic difference,” Nelson said. “Business owners here have ideas, but they run into roadblocks because of a stagnant board.” Maravelias agreed with Nelson that more dramatic change is needed in the business climate. He said the

village must invest in infrastructure to attract businesses and give people an appealing reason to stop. Maravelias said all businesses, even big-box stores such as Walgreen’s, should be welcomed. “[I’m running] to help the community advance toward the future,” Maravelias said. “We must omit that phrase ‘Town of Yesteryear’ and become the ‘Town of Now.’ ” Kunz, who has been on the board since 2011, said he is focused on keeping the village fiscally conservative while promoting events that could entice more people to come to Richmond. Kunz voted against the tax increase in 2014 that added $4 for every $100,000 of assessed property value for residents, and he said Richmond has the resources to succeed without the additional revenue. He said his 40 years of business experience could help him strike the balance between small-town America and business growth. “The biggest issue is attracting and retaining new businesses while bringing Richmond back to its roots as a small, all-American town,” Kunz said. “Events should be held that would bring residents together for fun and enjoyment. We need to instill pride in our town and return to that all-American town feeling.” Kielpinski, who has been on the board for 10 years, said economic development remains his top priority. “I’ve been working hard to get more businesses to come to Richmond,” he said. “It is some unfinished business I would like to get done.”

Spinach recall expands beyond Amy’s Kitchen products KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com A spinach recall that initially affected Amy’s Kitchen products has since expanded to include more items from other companies, according to the Kane County Health Department. Amy’s Kitchen announced a voluntary recall of about 73,897 cases of various products – including lasagna, enchilada and pizza meals – early this week due to possible listeria contamination.

Soon afterward, Carmel Food Group initiated a recall of certain Rising Moon Organics frozen ravioli varieties, including garlic and roasted veggie, spinach and cheese, and spinach florentine. In a news release, the health department announced Wednesday that the recall has expanded to include Superior Foods Inc. and Twin City Foods Inc. products. The items are being recalled because the companies might have received organic spinach from a supplier with

the possible presence of listeria monocytogenes, the release states. Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause “serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems,” according to the release. Healthy individuals may suffer such short-term symptoms as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, according to the release. An

infection also can cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women. The release noted that no illnesses related to the spinach recall had been reported, but the products were distributed to stores nationwide. Visit www.fda.gov/Safety/ Recalls for details about the recalled products. For information, call 1-866672-0811 for Superior Foods; 804-385-3772 for Twin City; 510-429-0356 for Carmel Food Group; and 707-781-7535 for Amy’s Kitchen.

If you didn’t have enough reasons to get your veins checked, here’s another: the possibility of deep vein thrombosis. SPONSORED BY

Deep vein thrombophlebitis, also known as deep vein thrombosis or simply DVT, is a blood clot in the vein system deep inside the leg, said Dr. Stephen Rivard, founder and medical director of Illinois Vein Specialists in Barrington. “If undiagnosed, the thrombosis may eventually block the entire vein and threaten the health of the leg,” he said. “Or a piece of the blockage (now called an embolism) may break off and travel to the lung potentially creating a pulmonary embolism leading to chest pain, difficulty breathing, or even death.” Where does DVT commonly occur? “In the lower extremities, like your legs,” Rivard said. “They may rarely occur in your arms or neck.” DVT and varicose veins share many similar symptoms and causes. DVT signs can include pain, swelling in the leg or redness, and/or tightness of skin around the vein, as well as recurring leg cramps or restless

leg. The condition can be caused by heredity, oral contraceptives, pregnancy- particularly for women who have given birth to 3 or more children, a trauma or a sports-related injury to the leg that weakens or breaks the veins, and long rest periods or inactivity, especially as the result of post-op orthopedic procedures. March has been deemed Deep-Vein Thrombosis Awareness Month as a public health initiative aimed to raise awareness of the commonly occurring medical condition and its potential for pulmonary embolism. Remember: vein issues will not get better if they are ignored. Consult with a specialist at Illinois Vein today. Since opening, thousands of patients from Buffalo Grove, Cary, Elgin, Hoffman Estates, Algonquin, Palatine, Vernon Hills, Crystal Lake, Lake Zurich, Fox River Grove, Mundelein, Grayslake, Wauconda, Chicago, and all areas of Barrington have been helped.

In her report to the Finance Committee, Purchasing Director Theresa Dobersztyn said her department became aware of about $32,000 in attempted computer and telephone equipment purchases from vendors on the West Coast for delivery to an Oklahoma storage facility.

has been working since January to address the financial implications of Sheriff Donald Kramer’s decision to reduce the number of federal inmates housed at the jail. The U.S. Marshals Service program, which generated $231,487 in revenue in December and January, was expected to bring in $2.5 million this fiscal year. The County Board approved cuts in February and March that reduced the more than $2 million shortfall to $500,000. Noting the jail has fewer inmates, board member Cristina Castro, D-Elgin, asked Onzick about overtime expenses. “Can you guys watch that carefully?” she asked. Onzick agreed but noted that overtime accrual may be unrelated to the changes in the U.S. Marshals program. There is an assumption that overtime would be offset by savings in other areas, he said.

SKETCH VIEW

County Board does right with rejection The McHenry County Board should be commended for rejecting the hiring of M.J. Munaretto & Co. for its real estate needs. Not because of Marc Munaretto’s ability or professionalism in the job. But because Munaretto, the owner of the business, is a former County Board member with a County Board-appointed position to represent McHenry County on the Metra Board. That position pays $15,000 a year. “This just For the record smacks of a conflict of interest. By its own doing, government It makes us look has earned the reputation of very bad if we apwilling to hand out favors to prove this,” said connected individuals and playboard member ing favorites. Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry. Provenzano was, of course, right, which is why we applaud the County Board for voting against the hiring by a 19-3 vote, despite having no other real estate company express interest in the job. By its own doing, government has earned the reputation of willing to hand out favors to connected individuals and playing favorites. Many times, conflicts of interest are ignored. As Provenzano said, hiring Munaretto’s company would have added to this reputation and placed the County Board in a bad light. The three County Board members who voted in favor of hiring Munaretto’s business were Anna May Miller, R-Cary; Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary; and Robert Nowak, R-Lake in the Hills. All three represent the same district Munaretto did. In voting for the hiring, Miller noted there was no rule against hiring Munaretto despite him already earning a salary from a County Board-appointed position. We’d argue that it shouldn’t take a rule to do what is right. Regardless, we urge the County Board to pursue a rule to ban bids from individuals with compensated board-appointed positions.

ANOTHER VIEW

Human trafficking failure Washington gridlock on immigration, energy, federal spending and health care, though lamentable, is understandable. After all, the two major parties generally favor opposing solutions to the problems raised by those issues. But last week, the U.S. Senate couldn’t even pass a bill that rated widespread support across party lines. That legislation would have toughened the penalties for human trafficking and enhanced law enforcement’s capacity to counter it. However, Senate Democrats killed it with a filibuster threat after belatedly realizing it contained a clause, inserted by Republicans, banning the use of a trafficking-victims compensation fund for abortions other than the types exempted (rape and incest) in the Hyde Amendment. In other words, Democrats killed legislation that would have no practical effect on federal abortion funding. Indeed, it merely reasserts that intent of the Hyde amendment, which has been routinely attached to federal spending bills since its passage nearly four decades ago. John Cornyn, R-Texas, offered to change the wording of the trafficking legislation’s abortion provision by creating an annual appropriation for the compensation fund instead of a separate pool of fees. After Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, and other prominent Democrats scrapped the bill, Sen. Cornyn expressed justified frustration by asking: “Can they take ‘yes’ for an answer? We’ve made a proposal to them to give them what they’ve asked for.” And Minnesota’s Sen. Amy Klobucher, the top Democratic sponsor of the bill, like many of her party colleagues evidently didn’t know it included that Hyde Amendment echo. Sen. Klobucher’s spokeswoman told The Associated Press: “The senator takes responsibility for the work of her office and missing the provision, and she is focused on moving forward to find a way to fix the bill and protect victims of trafficking.” As for Democrats’ demands for a confirmation vote on attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, has said he will comply as soon as the trafficking bill is passed. Sounds like a fair, practical compromise. And The Washington Post editorial board, no hotbed of pro-life or conservative zeal, offered this withering perspective on the needless derailing of the human trafficking bill: “Perhaps Democrats thought they could score political points, or maybe they didn’t want to anger their traditional allies in the abortion rights lobby. Either way, it became depressingly clear that what they weren’t thinking about was the needs of vulnerable people, mostly young women and girls, who are the victims of sex trafficking.” Post and Courier (Charleston, South Carolina)

IT’S YOUR WRITE Support Kurtz, Blazier, Guss To the Editor: Tired of the drama coming from School District 155 the past two years? I am, and that is why I am voting for Adam Guss, Amy Blazier and Rosemary Kurtz. All three of them will exercise the independence we need to challenge the decisionmaking of the current president and superintendent. They won’t be “yes” people and rubber stamps of the decisions emanating from those two. As taxpayers, we can be grateful that citizens like this are willing to spend their time to represent our interests.

Accept GMOs Change makeup at D-155 To the Editor: Last summer, I was sickened when I learned of the dispute between School District 155 and the city concerning the Crystal Lake South football bleachers. As a past board member of districts 155 and 47, I thought we could put together a team of knowledgeable residents to mediate a speedy resolution of the issues. We put together the team, met with thr city and District 155, but the school district refused to negotiate. The current board of education is unresponsive to the wishes of the vast majority of residents of District 155. There must be a change in the makeup of the board immediately, and, in that regard, I urge you to support for election to the

To the Editor: A lot of people whose opinions are emotion-based rather than fact-based are against GMO foods. They support GMO labeling because they know this will drive a killing stake into such products. To support this opinion, they often say, “There are no longterm studies showing genetically engineered foods are safe for humans to eat” (“Support labeling GMOs,” March 16). This is a perfect example of fact deficiency. Americans have been eating GMO foods for 20 years. That should qualify as long term. There are anecdotal reports of people claiming GMO foods caused them harm. If there were scientific studies to support such claims, the FDA would be required to remove them from the market.

Allow raw milk sales

Different look in Spring Grove

To the Editor: About seven years ago, our family discovered our oldest son was allergic to pasteurized milk, but the allergy testing confirmed raw milk was fine. So we found a local farmer who would let us bring in our gallon containers for fresh, raw milk. We never have had any health issues consuming the raw milk. In fact, the health of my children flourished. I use some of the milk to make butter, cream cheese and yogurt, and the whey to ferment pickles and sauerkraut (which you can’t do with pasteurized milk). My son’s favorite meal is clam chowder, which requires a milk base. If you restrict our access to healthy, raw milk, it truly would unwind the health we have achieved over the past seven years and limit our options for a healthy dairy source. We’d be forced to drive into Wisconsin weekly for raw milk. Please

To the Editor: A lot of older people, including myself, have voiced concern that younger people don’t seem to care about current events or want to participate in government. I can say there is at least one person who is getting involved, taking a position and running for local office. That person is Ryne Powell, and he is running for trustee in the village of Spring Grove and trying to get other young people involved in their future. He is 23 years old, a full-time student finishing his business degree this year, and he is my son. If elected, he definitely will give the board a different look than what they have traditionally had. It will be interesting to see whether the voters of Spring Grove are ready to trust someone under the age of 30 with a seat at the grown-ups table. Tom Powell Spring Grove

College savings plans invest in future, economy The treasurer is the state’s chief investment officer. We invest in people to address today’s challenges and the challenges we will face years from now. Saving for higher education is critical to bringing opportunities for our children and strengthening our economy. Many families use Illinois’ Bright Start and Bright Directions college savings plans to invest in their children’s education beyond high school. These plans are critical to raising wages and living conditions for everyone because educational attainment is the best predictor of employability. As Illinois’ treasurer, managing these programs is one of my most important responsibilities. Today, Congress is considering an update to these

GUEST VIEW Michael Frerichs 529 plans. As a certified public finance officer, and as a parent, I support this effort. Critics contend these plans needlessly offer a tax advantage to wealthy families who already can afford higher education. While many well-off families participate in the programs, the solution is not to restrict the program. Rather, it is to introduce these college savings plans to middle-class families who fear a college education for their children is increasingly out of reach. Anyone with $25 can open a plan: parent, guardian, grand-

parent, aunt, uncle, brother, sister or friend. Monthly deposits are not required. Opening a college savings account with the treasurer’s office represents a commitment to make college or trade school accessible for someone you love. You can open one today at www.illinoistreasurer. gov. Investing in our children pays dividends for them and for our economy. Success in college or trade school opens doors because our children learn the skills, discipline and reliability that employers demand. The proposal before the U.S. Senate would expand qualified expenditures beyond tuition to include education-related technology such as computers, roll back unnecessary paperwork, and allow

refunds from school to be redeposited into the 529 accounts. These reasonable changes will make college more attainable for our children, grow our economy and attract good-paying jobs to Illinois. As treasurer, my job is to put our state and our families in a position to succeed. The 529 plan updates do exactly that. I understand the critics’ concerns, but do not believe they outweigh the benefits to our families who dream of sending their children to college, nor to our small business owners who need a skilled workforce. I hope our lawmakers agree. • Michael Frerichs, a Democrat, is the Illinois state treasurer.

BRIEFS Islamic school chief pleads not guilty to sex abuse ROLLING MEADOWS – The head of an Elgin Islamic school has pleaded not guilty to eight criminal counts alleging he sexually abused an employee. Seventy-five-year-old Mohammad Abdullah Saleem entered the plea Wednesday before a Cook County judge. The founder of the Institute of Islamic Education in Elgin was indicted on charges including aggravated criminal sexual abuse, aggravated battery of a school employee and unlawful restraint. If convicted, Saleem could face up to five years in prison. He’s free on $250,000 bond.

GOP-controlled House passes budget WASHINGTON – Normally quarrelsome House Republicans came together Wednesday night and passed a boldly conservative budget that relies on nearly $5 trillion in cuts to eliminate deficits over the next decade, calls for repealing the health care law and envisions transformations of the tax code and Medicare. Final passage, 228-199, came shortly after Republicans bumped up recommended defense spending to levels proposed by President Barack Obama. Much of the budget’s savings would come from Medicaid, food stamps and welfare, programs that aid the low-income, although details were sketchy.

1 killed when tornadoes hit Oklahoma, Arkansas TULSA, Okla. – The slow start to the nation’s tornado season came to a violent end Wednesday, when tornadoes raked Tulsa during its evening rush hour, killing one person and injuring others. Tulsa County Sheriff’s Capt. Billy McKelvey said one person was killed in a mobile home park near Sand Springs in the Tulsa area that was nearly destroyed Wednesday amid severe weather. It wasn’t yet clear whether it was a tornado or straight-line winds that hit the mobile home park. McKelvey couldn’t say exactly how many people were injured, but said there were multiple injuries. A small tornado also swept across parts of Moore, an Oklahoma City suburb.

Senate on spot to back budget gap measure necessary, but you want to use a scalpel,” said state Sen. Kwame Raoul, of Chicago. “I will have to evaluate how it’s going to affect the least of these.” Senate Democrats, who offered some of the most vocal resistance to Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s request for authority to move money around in the state budget, had yet to meet to discuss the bill Wednesday. The full chamber could vote on the measure either Thursday or Friday, the last scheduled session day of the legislative session until mid-April. Senate President John Cul-

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Senate leaders are on the spot to find enough votes for a proposed deal to close a $1.6 billion gap in this year’s budget and save state programs and agencies from running out of money. A day after the plan passed the House on Tuesday, many members of the Democratic-led chamber expressed support for the bill, but others remained holdouts, noting that they still were reviewing the impact of the proposal. “I appreciate that cuts are

Charity named for strangling victims sued COLUMBIA – A southern Illinois charity named after a woman and her two sons who were strangled to death is being sued by the state for allegedly misspending more than $33,000. Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed the lawsuit Tuesday against Mario DeCicco of La Grange Park, president of Sheri Ann & Her Boys. DeCicco’s sister, Sheri Ann Coleman, and her sons were killed in their Columbia, Illinois home in 2009. Christopher Coleman is serving a life sentence for the murders of his wife and two children. The lawsuit alleges violations of the state’s Charitable Trust and Solicitation for Charity Acts.

lerton said several key sticking points – blunting cuts to schools, hospitals and local governments – were addressed during the weekslong negotiations between the governor and Legislative leaders. “Those requests have been honored,” Cullerton said. “It’s a compromise. ... We would have perhaps have [preferred] a different version, but that’s what a compromise is about.” He said the caucus still was counting votes, but expected to have enough to pass the measure if the 20 Republicans in the 59-member chamber supported it. “These are cuts to state

government,” Cullerton said, adding that the proposal comes without any additional revenue streams, which was a cause for concern among some Democrats. The legislation would authorize Rauner to transfer $1.3 billion from other purposes, including parks and conservation. The rest would come from a 2.25 percent across-theboard budget cut. It also gives the governor authority over $97 million to distribute to needy schools. The plan also gives the governor discretion over an additional $90 million in case of unanticipated budget problems.

At issue is the $35.7 billion budget lawmakers passed last spring that didn’t allocate enough money for expenses, leaving the $1.6 billion gap. Democrats passed the budget last spring hoping that after the November election they would make permanent a temporary income tax increase passed in 2011. The victory in the gubernatorial race of Rauner, who opposed tax increases, scuttled that hope and the tax increase rolled back on Jan. 1, from 5 percent to 3.75 percent for individuals, and from 7 percent to 5.25 percent for corporations.

Belleville looks to lose township gov’t By ALAN SCHER ZAGIER The Associated Press

AP photo

Students bring candles Wednesday in front of the Joseph-Koenig Gymnasium in Haltern, western German, one day after 16 school children and two teachers were among the 150 victims who died in the Germanwings plane crash in the French alps.

Report: France jet audio shows pilot was locked out of cockpit The ASSOCIATED PRESS SEYNE-LES-ALPES, France – The first half of Germanwings Flight 9525 was chilling in its normalcy. It took off from Barcelona en route to Duesseldorf, climbing up over the Mediterranean and turning over France. The last communication was a routine request to continue on its route. Minutes later, at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, the Airbus A320 inexplicably began to descend. Within 10 minutes it had plunged from its cruising altitude of 38,000 feet to just more than 6,000 feet and slammed into a remote mountainside. To find out why, investigators have been analyzing the mangled black box that contains an audio recording from the cockpit. Remi Jouty, the head of France’s accident investigation bureau BEA, said Wednesday that it has yielded sounds and voices, but so far not the “slightest explanation” of why the plane crashed, killing all 150 on board. A newspaper report, however, suggests the audio contains intriguing information at the least: One of the pilots is heard leaving the cockpit,

then banging on the door with increasing urgency in an unsuccessful attempt to get back in. “The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there is no answer,” The New York Times quotes an unidentified investigator as saying. “And then he hits the door stronger and no answer. There is never an answer.” Eventually, the newspaper quotes the investigator as saying: “You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.” The investigator, whom the newspaper said could not be identified because the investigation is continuing, said officials don’t know why the pilot left. He also does not speculate on why the other pilot didn’t open the door or make contact with ground control before the crash. Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, airlines in the U.S. don’t leave one pilot alone in the cockpit. The standard operating procedure is that if one of the pilots leaves – for example to use the bathroom – a flight attendant takes their spot in the cockpit. It was not immediately clear if European airlines have adopted the same practice.

BELLEVILLE – Joy Schreiber is the rare elected official who hopes voters get a chance to kick her out of office. The Belleville Township trustee is among a group of local officials who want to shut down a unit of government that shares a name and exact boundaries with the southern Illinois city. Unlike most of Illinois’ other 1,429 townships, it doesn’t assess property taxes or handle road maintenance. Its role is to provide temporary financial assistance to several dozen needy families annually, and its costs typically exceed the amount of aid given. “I am not anti-township,” Schreiber said. “I’m anti-waste.” A governmental system with its roots in the pre-colonial Northeast continues to thrive in Illinois, where townships remain in 85 of 102

counties. But after decades of unsuccessful efforts to trim the entities, Schreiber and others hope to gain momentum from new Gov. Bruce Rauner’s repeated calls to shrink bureaucracy. Illinois ranks a clear first among all states in that category, with nearly 7,000 units of government, from school boards to mosquito abatement agencies. This month, Rauner created a Local Government and Unfunded Mandates Task Force to help streamline services. Before that, DuPage County eliminated a sanitation district and a fire protection district, and Evanston paved the way for Belleville when it dissolved its township in May. “The issue is hard to tackle, because you can’t just make vague, broad pronouncements (about townships’ usefulness),” said state Sen. Daniel Biss, an Evanston Democrat who sponsored his hometown’s move and is

pushing for further dissolution initiatives. “You’ve got to really get on the ground and analyze what the consequences of specific change in that local context. “It’s not a constituency that legislators are eager to go up against, unless there’s a good reason,” he added. Township supporters invoke their role as “the people’s government,” a place where citizens get personalized attention. Bryan Smith, executive director of the Township Officials of Illinois, cites a 2011 research study that found townships have less debt, lower per-capita expenditures and less reliance on state money than bigger cities and counties. “Township governments are able to perform their functions and duties more efficiently and more effectively,” he said. Consolidating Belleville’s township into city government or dissolving it completely won’t be easy.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, 28, who abandoned his post in Afghanistan and was held captive for five years by the Taliban, was charged Wednesday by the U.S. military with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy and could get life in prison if convicted. The charges are the latest development in a long and bitter debate over Bergdahl’s case. They also underscore the military and political ramifications of his decision on June 30, 2009, to leave his post after expressing misgivings about the U.S. military’s role, as well as his own, in the Afghanistan war.

GIRLS SOCCER SEASON PREVIEW

Wolves warm up in time By JOHN WILKINSON jwilkinson@shawmedia.com WHEELING – “Stay cozy,” Prairie Ridge coach Glen Pecoraro chirped to his team just before Wednesday’s first pitch, partially because all the Wolves players barely fit in the small dugout at Heritage Park and partially because many of them were bundled up against the chilly, windy weather. For much of the afternoon, it looked like the Wolves’ bats would never warm up as they managed no runs and two hits through the first five innings. Strong pitching kept the Wolves hanging around and then a four-run sixth inning helped Prairie Ridge come from behind to beat Palatine, 4-2. “In a game like this, it’s a chess match ... one or two plays make the difference in this game,” Pecoraro said. “They’re a good program, very well coached, could’ve went either way.” The Pirates (3-2) took a 1-0 lead in the second on aggressive baserunning and a mental lapse by the Wolves. They doubled the lead in the bottom of the fourth when Ryan Anderson got on with a one-out triple and Charles Van Dyke drove him in with a single past a drawn-in infield.

UNTLEY – There is no doubt winning eight straight regional championships in any high school sport takes hard work. Although Huntley’s girls soccer program has done that, the team may have to put in more work this year than in any of coach Kris Grabner’s 12 seasons in charge. After coming up one win short of

Team preview capsules. Page C3 heading to the state tournament last year – the Red Raiders lost, 2-0, to St. Charles East in the Class 3A Lake Park Supersectional – Huntley will have a lot of new faces in new places coming into this season. “We graduated 10 players, nine of which went on to play in college,”

Grabner said. “There’s no doubt there is going to be some growing pains, but I think we still have a lot of strong pieces. We have a lot to teach in a short amount of time, but we are confident with our system and know by season’s end we will be right where we want to be.” Some of the key losses for Huntley, which finished 19-7 a year ago, were goalkeeper Jessica Galason, midfielder Abby Nordeen and defenders Rachel Zobott and Jenna Hermansen.

Galason was a huge part of Huntley’s success last season, as each of the Red Raiders’ 19 wins a season ago was via shutout. Grabner said junior Paige Renkosik and sophomore Abbey Brown will split time in goal this season. Although neither got to see time at the varsity level last year because of Galason’s success, Grabner is confident putting either on the field.

Mohapp tripled to right field in the top of the sixth, bringing in two runs and giving the Wolves their first lead of the game. Jacob Carpentier followed with an RBI single to make it a 4-2 lead.

Taryn Jakubowski Huntley, jr., M

Delaney Pruitt Johnsburg, sr., F

Katie Beck Crystal Lake Central, sr., F

Halle Simons Prairie Ridge, sr., D

Halley Havlicek Richmond-Burton, jr., M

Jakubowski had 22 goals and 13 assists last season. She committed to Division I Creighton and leads a Huntley team that won a sectional title last year but lost a lot of key players. Her knowledge of the game and skill on the ball is second to none in the area.

Pruitt was the 2013 Northwest Herald Girls Soccer Player of the Year, and followed that last year with 23 goals and five assists. Pruitt is a technically skilled player who is often tough for defenses to game plan for, as she is strong with both feet.

Beck scored 14 of the Tigers’ 25 goals last season. She is another skilled player defenses had a hard time containing last season. If Crystal Lake Central competes for another Fox Valley Conference Fox Division title, Beck will have a large part to do with it.

Simons will be one of the anchors of the Prairie Ridge defense. Coach J.C. Brown thinks Simons is one of the best defenders in the FVC. The Wolves have always had a strong defense, and Simons will be right in the middle of that this season.

The Colorado State commit is one of the tougher players in the area. She is an exceptional defender with great knowledge of the game. The Rockets will have a strong back line again this year, coming off a Big Northern Conference East Division title.

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT: SWEET 16

At home: Badgers back in California for regional By BETH HARRIS The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Bo Ryan is trippin’ about being back in the NCAA West Regional. First, the Wisconsin coach has the same man escorting him around that he did last year, when the Badgers won the regional in Anaheim. Then Ryan bumped into coach Sean Miller, whose Arizona team lost to the Badgers in a one-point overtime game to get to the Final Four. “I’m like, wait a minute,” Ryan said. “Weren’t we just doing this a year ago?” So Ryan feels right at home in Los Angeles, and he’s hoping Frank Kaminsky & Co. do, too. The top-seeded Badgers (33-3) take on fourth-seeded North Carolina (26-11) in a regional semifinal Thursday night at

A lot on his mind Notre Dame coach Mike Brey not only is dealing with facing Wichita State in the Sweet 16 but with the death of his mother Saturday and the needs of his family. Page C2 Staples Center. The teams are meeting in the NCAA tournament for the second time and the first since 2006. The Tar Heels won both games. North Carolina hasn’t been this far since 2012, although the Tar Heels are 25-6 all-time in regional semifinals. Their top task? Defending Big Ten player of the year Kaminsky, who leads the Badgers in scoring (18.4 points), rebounding (8.1) and field-goal percentage (.556). “Very, very seriously is the way we’re going to try to deal with him,” Tar Heels

coach Roy Williams said Wednesday. Carolina’s front line of 6-foot-9 Kennedy Meeks, 6-6 J.P. Tokoto and 6-8 Justin Jackson can’t match the 7-foot Kaminsky in height, but the 270-pound Meeks has almost 30 pounds on “Frank the Tank.” Meeks sprained his left knee in the win over Arkansas that got the Tar Heels into the final 16. He didn’t do much during their open practice Wednesday but had limited contact during an earlier closed practice. Williams said if Meeks experiences any pain or swelling overnight, he wouldn’t play. Otherwise, he would be a game-time decision Thursday. “I’m doing pretty well,” Meeks said. “I’m jumping a little bit more and trying to do all the right things so I can take care of my knee.”

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT: SWEET 16

Balancing family, basketball Irish’s Brey returns focus to Wichita St. after mother dies By STEVE GREENBERG sgreenberg@suntimes.com CLEVELAND – The normal rhythms of the NCAA tournament are easy enough for a coach to manage. You show up to the next city on your bracket ready to play one game and packed to stay for another. It’s exciting, at times frightening, always stressful – but easy enough. That’s the job, right? But you can’t plan for everything. You can’t possibly see it coming when your dear mother drops dead of a heart attack only a week after she was by your side – strong, vital, thrilled – at the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina. For Notre Dame’s Mike Brey, that was the sudden, cruel reality Saturday in Pittsburgh, where he coached the Irish past Butler hours after Betty Brey, a former Olympic swimmer, had died, most unexpectedly, at home in Orlando. While his team returned to South Bend, Brey flew to Orlando to spend a day with his brother, sister and father, all of whom live there. It was a special day, as the four reminisced, laughed and cried. They watched Wichita State – the Irish’s opponent here Thursday in the Sweet 16 – beat Kansas. Brey got to do a little thing he really wanted to do: sit outside and smoke a cigar with his dad. By 1 a.m. Monday, the coach was back in South Bend and focusing on the 30-4 Shockers, seeded seventh in the Midwest Region yet slight favorites to knock off 31-5, third-seeded Notre Dame. It’s funny how that works, isn’t it? Here the Irish are, champs of the ACC, and the experts out in Vegas

Notre Dame coach Mile Brey watches his team practice Wednesday in Cleveland for an NCAA tournament regional semifinal game. The Irish face Wichita State on Thursday. like the team that lost to Illinois State in the Missouri Valley tourney better. Of course, these Shockers, led by veterans Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker, were in the Final Four in 2013 and were a No. 1 seed in 2014. Not only does Brey feel like the underdog, but he knows many around the country already are playing up the potential storyline of a Wichita State-Kentucky rematch in the Elite 8. The Wildcats won a two-point classic last year en route to the national title game. “There’s so much out there about the Kentucky-Wichita State rematch, so our guys have seen that,” Brey said

Wednesday. “Certainly their NCAA tournament success with this nucleus, we’ve not had that. … We do feel a little bit like the odd man out.” Brey feels good about his own team, however. The disposition of his players is right on the money. From there, it’s mostly about game prep – no small challenge in the searing heat of March Madness, but easy enough. But, again, you can’t plan for everything. Paul Brey is 84. And here’s a steady drumbeat of kicks to the gut Mike and his siblings are dealing with now that Betty is gone – the old man’s Alzheimer’s. Who’s going to take care of him now? “He does know what hap-

pened,” Brey said, “but I think we’re going to have to deal with that. … What are we going to do with him, with more full-time care? My mom took care of him, did everything for him. That’s what we talked about Sunday, and we’ll continue to after the season.” Meantime, the waves of sadness will come as they do to anyone who has lost a loved one. Coaches are the “greatest compartmentalizers in the history of the world,” according to Brey, “and have to be to survive in this thing.” But life is life. Our parents are our parents. And, sometimes, the next game on your bracket is simply that, and nothing more.

Wisconsin’s Jackson likely to return from injury • BADGERS Continued from page C1 If Meeks can’t go, the Tar Heels may go small, like they did after Meeks went out against the Razorbacks. But that has its drawbacks, too. “I don’t want to just say when nobody can guard Frank, let’s just play small because that takes away part of our game as our inside scoring,” Williams said. “So it is a balance there that you have to

have.” Carolina can throw 6-9, 228-pounder Brice Johnson at Kaminsky, too. “His combination of size and athleticism isn’t very common in college basketball,” Kaminsky said. “He does a great job of attacking the glass, getting things done inside.” The Badgers have a question mark on their own roster, with guard Traevon Jackson’s playing status up in the air. The senior has yet to appear in the NCAA tournament and

has missed 18 straight games since breaking his right foot in a loss Jan. 11 at Rutgers. Jackson got in a few possessions during practice Tuesday, and Ryan said Wednesday that if he’s physically ready he would reward Jackson with some playing time. “Now how many possessions or how many trips up and down the court, that remains to be seen,” the coach said. Jackson made it sound like he’ll return. “I’ve been playing this game for too long to have

The Associated Press The NCAA tournament never has had so many teams with so many losses make it so far. Six of the regional semifinalists have 10 or more losses, including three with 13. The reaction around college basketball has been a collective shrug. There simply are more opportunities to lose nowadays. That’s because teams are playing more regular-season games than ever, and top programs are trying to schedule mostly high-caliber nonconference opponents which can enhance their resumes for NCAA tournament selection and seeding. “There was a time years and years ago where you’d feel like if you had 20 wins you’d get in the tournament,” North Carolina State coach Mark Gottfried said. “Now it comes down to who you schedule. You may lose some

games because you’re playing a difficult nonconference schedule. And then in our league, it’s tough night in and night out with 18 games in the ACC.” Gottfried’s Wolfpack, Xavier and UCLA all have 13 losses heading into this week’s games. Michigan State and North Carolina have 11 each and Oklahoma has 10. The previous record for number of Sweet 16 teams with double-digit losses was five, last year and in 1985 and ‘86, according to STATS. The only other time there were even two 13-loss teams was 2000. The NCAA has allowed teams to play as many as 31 regular-season games since 2006-07. Before that the maximum was 28. With conference tournaments, some teams now play 34 or 35 games before the NCAA Tournament. As of this week, 58 teams had played at least 35 games. A decade ago, only 13 teams played that many.

nervousness on the court,” he said. “It’s a joy to be back on the court.” Jackson gives the methodical Badgers a different look when he’s on the court, according to Carolina guard Marcus Paige. “He kind of has that freedom to attack full court and give them that full court transition attack,” Paige said. “If he does play, we’re going to try to contain him because he’s really good and crafty with the ball.”

NORTHWEST HERALD

Swinging bunt begins PR’s 4-run 6th inning • WOLVES Continued from page C1 Was Pecoraro ever worried that the Wolves’ offense wouldn’t thaw? “Yes. How could I not be?” Pecoraro said. “We weren’t splitting gaps, that’s for sure. Nobody was crushing the ball. We had a lot of fist shots. Their kid did a nice job of pitching inside – lot of ground balls to third and short because they were pitching in and we just couldn’t seem to get a barrel on a ball.” Palatine starter Alex Breytenbach had stifled Prairie Ridge (2-1) through five innings, and even the breakout sixth needed a little bit of good fortune to get going. Leadoff batter Chris Slack tried to check his swing but accidentally made contact, putting the ball in play weakly. The swinging bunt ended up being placed perfectly, and Slack legged it out for an infield single. Slack stole second and Dustin Thelander drove him in with a single to left, getting the Wolves on the scoreboard

for the first time. Cal Aldridge was hit by a pitch, putting runners at first and second for Matt Mohapp. With two strikes on him, Mohapp sliced a triple down the right-field line, scoring two and giving the Wolves their first lead of the game. “It was just a fastball away. It goes back to how our coach coaches us. There was two strikes, so I just watched it in deep and hit it where it’s pitched,” Mohapp said. Jacob Carpentier followed with a single through the right side to score Mohapp and chase the Palatine starter. After Prairie Ridge stranded runners at second and third in the top of the seventh, Mohapp took the mound as closer. He induced three consecutive flyouts to end the game. “Our pitchers were outstanding today,” Pecoraro said. Jon Tieman started on the mound, giving up one run on two hits in 31/3 innings. Alec Thune relived him and got the win on the mound for Prairie Ridge. They each struck out six Pirates.

Huntley’s Hecht back after injury • SOCCER Continued from page C1 “Both of them could have been a varsity starter last year,” he said. “It was unfortunate that they weren’t able to get time. Both Paige and Abbey are very athletic keepers, and we feel very comfortable having them out there for us.” As much as the Red Raiders lost, they will return a few key pieces that will be instrumental for success this year. Junior Taryn Jakubowski, who scored 23 goals last season, and Deanna Hecht will be two important players in the attacking third for Huntley. Hecht tore an ACL and a meniscus in a travel game, forcing the now senior forward to miss all of last season. She scored 23 goals as a sophomore on the varsity level. “I think we are actually faster as a team this year,” Jakubowski said. “We are still getting used to playing with some of the new pieces and people in different spots, but it’s early. That is going to happen early in the season.” “I think we are on the right track early here,” Hecht said. “We all love being around each other and our team chemistry has been great so far. We know what is expected of us and we all want to win more than anything.” With Grabner at the helm, Huntley has always been a very vocal team on the field. Communication is something that he stressed has been a huge part of the success of the program. Grabner thinks early in the year, both Hecht and senior midfielder Katie Costantino have taken charge of the leadership of the team. Costantino and junior Bri Wilder will have crucial roles, along with Jakubowski in the midfield, replacing the large role Nordeen played as a captain of the group last year.

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Huntley’s Deanna Hecht, who scored 23 goals as a sophomore, returns for her senior season after missing last season because of injury. Grabner is high on Wilder’s ability to learn that position and succeed in a short amount of time. “Abby was tough,” Grabner said. “We definitely lost her attitude and she is a tough piece to replace. Bri is a very confident player and is going to have to play a huge role in helping this team succeed. Not just Bri, but everyone will have to grow into different roles and help us to be successful.” Sophomore defender Sam Heustis will be another new piece, while returning juniors Alyssa Kaufman and Autumn Maraviglia will have much more expanded roles this year for Huntley as well. Huntley will start the season Saturday at home against Elk Grove before playing a few local games and heading to the tough PepsiCo Showdown in Schaumburg. The Red Raiders have prided themselves on playing top-notch opponents early in the season, something Grabner and Huntley hope will benefit them again this postseason.

CUBS

Ricketts says Wrigley restoration will take extra year By DAVID JUST djust@suntimes.com Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts revealed Wednesday that the Wrigley Field restoration project will take an extra year to complete. The first of four scheduled offseason phases began in the fall of 2014 and the project was expected to be completed during the offseason between the 2017 and 2018 baseball seasons. On Wednesday, however, Ricketts said the organization is projecting the $375 million renovation to take longer than originally expected.

“There will be four more years,” Ricketts said Wednesday after speaking at a City Club of Chicago luncheon. “The way we project it now is four more years of construction.” Dennis Culloton, a spokesman for Ricketts, confirmed Wednesday evening that the project could very well bleed into a fifth offseason, one more than the original plan. “That could still be the way it works out,” Culloton said of the original four-phase plan. “But it could take longer. Just take this winter for example, and we have found not only the problem with the weather but the water pipes

that we had no control over. It could be four years, it could be five. It’s hard to say.” The original plan for the construction was four offseason phases to be completed before the Tom Ricketts 2018 season, according to the Cubs’ Restore Wrigley website. The first phase of construction, which began this offseason, involved structural steel and concrete work, bleacher restoration and new restrooms.

The second phase of the renovation features a new home clubhouse, bullpens, and an outdoor plaza. The third phase, to begin after the 2016 season, includes a new visitors’ clubhouse, new umpires’ room and renovation of luxury suites. The final phase, originally scheduled to be completed in 2018, brings a renovated press box and a new hotel. “A lot of that is subject to how the construction process goes,” Ricketts said. “Once again, with the time horizon we have, making sure we make long-term decisions and not

rush the process.” The first phase of the renovation has been beset by delays that will impact the Cubs’ Opening Day game against the Cardinals on April 5. The Cubs announced in January that the bleachers would not be ready until May. Then, earlier this month, Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney announced that the right-field bleachers wouldn’t be ready until June because of a cold-weather streak. Mayor Rahm Emanuel denied a request by the team to work around the clock. The Cubs are considering

covering the incomplete bleachers with a tribute to late Hall of Famer Ernie Banks, Ricketts said, but nothing has been finalized. Ricketts said he doesn’t know how much of the new outfield signage will be ready for Opening Day, but the video board in left field is expected to be up and running. The video board in right field, he said, is delayed by the bleacher construction. “Obviously, it’s not our intent to inconvenience anyone,” Ricketts said. “I’m out in the bleachers all the time, and I have a lot of friends out there.”

The Bulls’ Jimmy Butler tries to drive past the Raptors’ DeMar DeRozan during the first half Wednesday in Toronto.

BULLS 116, RAPTORS 103

Bulls win, wait on Rose Injured guard remains cryptic about timetable for return By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com TORONTO – There was at least a bit more optimism from Derrick Rose on Wednesday. “Oh yeah, I’m not worried about that,” the injured Bulls point guard responded when asked whether he thought he would be back this season from his Feb. 27 right knee surgery. When? Which game was he targeting? This is Rose, so even when there’s a show of optimism, he also makes sure there’s that cloud of doubt. The hope is Rose will be able to return before the end of the regular season – eight games and counting after Wednesday’s clutch 116-103 win over the Raptors – but in typical Rose fashion he wouldn’t be pinned down to a specific date or game. “That would be the plan,” Rose said of a regular-season return. “But who knows? Whenever I’m ready to come back, that’s when I’m going to come back.” He wasn’t needed in Toronto. Thanks to a game-high 23 points from Jimmy Butler, as well as a fourth quarter in which the Bulls outscored Toronto,

39-21, the Bulls (44-29) won their fourth game in their past five, giving themselves a bit more breathing room for that No. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference playoff seedings. They entered the evening a half-game in front of the Raptors but went back through customs a game-and-ahalf up with the win. But now comes an important time for Rose and the franchise. As early as Friday, Derrick Rose Rose is expected to take the next step in his rehab, which is full contact in practice. Once a player starts that process, as long as there are no setbacks, the window for a return on the court is usually a week, maybe two. That’s about where Rose was looking for a return. “If I don’t have any setbacks, I would say one to two weeks,” Rose said. “If I take the contact and everything is fine, who knows?” That seemed to be the schedule coach Tom Thibodeau was sticking to. “Well, everything is going according to plan,” Thibodeau said when asked

whether he would be surprised if Rose didn’t return before the playoffs start. “I don’t want to jump ahead. So as long as it’s going according to plan and there are no setbacks, I don’t see why not.’’ Rose said he has been pain-free throughout his current rehab process, but again, conditioning and finding his rhythm have been obstacles for Rose the past few seasons in his previous two returns from knee surgeries. That’s why teammate Pau Gasol would like to see Rose at least get a few games under his belt before being thrown into the high-intensity that is playoff basketball. “I think if he can get those four or five it would be great,” Gasol said when asked what an early April return would mean. “If he can’t get those four or five it would be a little tougher to be on the spot come playoff time. It would be a little harder on him and on us, as well.” Rose didn’t see it that way exactly. In his mind, if he has to come back for the start of the playoffs, he would be more than ready. “It’s different,” Rose said of playoff basketball and the intensity it climbs to. “But I’m a pro. I think I’m good enough to fit my way in.”

MESA, Ariz. – Even as Cubs management Wednesday disputed a Sun-Times report that struggling second baseman Javy Baez had been told he’ll make the opening roster, manager Joe Maddon sidestepped a direct question about whether he w a n t s B a e z Joe Maddon on the roster – then again made the case for keeping him. Maddon has made no secret of the fielding qualities, arm strength and advanced base-running acumen he believes Baez could bring to an April roster that might be forced in inclement weather to survive more through run prevention than run production. Baez told the Sun-Times on Tuesday that he’d already been told he’ll make the roster, and a team source confirmed that. Maddon said Wednesday neither team president Theo Epstein, general manager Jed Hoyer nor Maddon had told

Baez that. But even Maddon did not dispute publicly that he wants Baez on the club when asked directly, instead talking in theory and then making another case for Baez’s merit – suggesting a potential tug-of-war over Baez between the front office and its successful, outside-thebox new manager. “I’ve been in this situation where you’re around a really good player for a couple years, and I think you magnify the negatives a little bit more. I think,” Maddon said. “Does that prevent you from wanting to do something? Do you always see this negative part and then you stop looking at the positive components of the guy? I’m not saying that’s happening here. Just talking to our guys, we see Javy in kind of a similar manner.” Kind of? What’s clear is that Baez believes he’s making the club. Just as clear: Those in the organization who have been around him in recent years are still waiting for him to adjust a vicious swing he has been loathe to change despite a record strikeout pace in a twomonth debut last year (and similar results this spring).

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

It’s official: Samardzija will start Opening Day By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. — Manager Robin Ventura made it official Wednesday, naming right-hander Jeff Samardzija as the White Sox’ Opening Day starter. Samardzija, who pitched the past two Opening Days for the Cubs, will pitch his first game in a Sox uniform April 6 against the Royals at Kansas City. “We’re going to have Jeff open the season and have Q [Jose Quintana] right behind him,” Ventura said. Samardzija, who came from the Oakland Athletics in a trade during the winter meet-

ings, has been lined up on his work schedule to be first for the Sox since ace Chris Sale went down with an injury. He had been pegged to fit between left-handers Sale and Quintana, who was Ventura’s second choice. “I know it’s a surprise,” Ventura said, tongue-in-cheek. “It’s an honor for guys to do that, and Jeff has done it before. Bringing him over here was part of the reason for doing that. Chris was going to be the guy. If it’s not him, it’s going to be Jeff. “He’s ready to go. He’s up for it. It would have been great for Q to do it, too, but the way we’re lined up is Jeff go first and Q second.”

FLYERS 4, BLACKHAWKS 1

Hawks’ offense continues to sputter in defeat By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com PHILADELPHIA – Joel Quenneville was watching Tuesday night as the St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators and Minnesota Wild all fell behind early in their games, only to rally for overtime victories over Eastern Conference powers. His delight quickly turned to dismay. “That happens,” Quenneville said. “Could have been a positive night, but didn’t turn out so good, after all.” Wednesday was worse. Facing yet another nonplayoff team, the Blackhawks had yet another poor effort, losing, 4-1, to the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center. And so less than a week after a stirring pair of victories over the New York Islanders and New York Rang-

ers capped a 6-0-1 stretch to vault the Hawks back into the Central Division race, the Hawks have stumbled badly – blanked in Dallas, eking out an unimpressive victory in Carolina, and falling in Philadelphia. Excluding empty-net goals, the Hawks have four goals in their past Daniel Carcillo four games. Scoring is down dramatically across the league, but the Hawks clearly are feeling the loss of Patrick Kane, as their puck-possession game has been almost nonexistent. Against the Flyers, they fumbled with the puck, made sloppy passes, and got little offensive help from their defense. They managed 35 shots on goal, but aside

from a Patrick Sharp chance in the second period on which Steve Mason made a big save, they were mostly harmless and easily turned aside. Quenneville shook things up before the game, benching Teuvo Teravainen and Bryan Bickell and putting the more physical Daniel Carcillo and Andrew Desjardins in the lineup. He also moved Andrew Shaw from the fourth line to the top line. None of the moves made much of a difference. Shaw scored a power-play goal in the third but missed a wide-open net in the first and was back on his usual line in the second. Carcillo and Desjardins had little impact, and the Hawks clearly could have used the puck-handling skill of Teravainen and even Bickell, even with both of them struggling a bit of late.

The Flyers, just playing out the string, were sharper from the start. Corey Crawford had to make big stops on Jakub Voracek and Nick Cousins in the early going, then was finally beaten by Wayne Simmonds after a lengthy sequence of sustained pressure created by multiple Hawks turnovers. Being unable to clear their own zone has been a theme on this road trip, and the Hawks yielded at least 29 shots for the fifth time in their last six games. Quenneville reconfigured all four lines in the second period, but the result was the same. Ryan White made it 2-0 at 7:09 when he tipped a Carlo Colaiacovo shot from the point past AP photo Crawford. And At 13:58, Claude Giroux outraced Michal Rozsival and The Flyers’ Nick Cousins (right) collides with deflected a centering pass from Vo- the Blackhawks’ Brent Seabrook in the secracek in for a 3-0 lead. ond period Wednesday in Philadelphia.

SPORTS BRIEFS Loyola advances to CBI’s best-of-3 final series CHICAGO – Earl Peterson and Devon Turk both scored 15 points, and Loyola beat Seattle, 63-48, Wednesday night in the semifinals of the College Basketball Invitational. Loyola (22-13) hosts Louisiana-Monroe in Game 1 of the CBI’s best-of-3 championship series Monday. William Powell had 12 points for the Redhawks (18-16) and Jadon Cohee added 10. The Ramblers haven’t been in any postseason tournament since the 1985 NCAA tournament. It was Seattle’s first postseason appearance of any kind since 1969.

Denmark rallies for men’s soccer win against U.S. The pattern since last spring is familiar: The U.S. men’s soccer team does well in the first half and fades as the final whistle approaches. Nicklas Bendtner took advantage of a defense that gave up two more late goals to score his first international hat trick, and host Denmark rallied to beat the United States, 3-2, in an exhibition game Wednesday at Aarhus. Jozy Altidore scored in the first half and set up former club teammate Aron Johannsson’s goal in the second. Wearing its new navy road jerseys, the U.S. was missing regular captain Clint Dempsey and defender Jermaine Jones because of injuries. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann bypassed No. 1 goalkeeper Brad Guzan and defenders Matt Besler, Geoff Cameron and Omar Gonzalez.

Minnesota to join MLS; stadium yet to be built MINNEAPOLIS – After preserving a professional soccer team for Minnesota, Bill McGuire soon began to think bigger. He wanted to be in the major league. The desire was mutual. Major League Soccer formally awarded an expansion franchise Wednesday to McGuire’s group of investors in Minneapolis with the expectation an outdoor stadium will be built in time for the 2018 season. McGuire, a physician who became chief executive officer at UnitedHealth Group before leaving the post in 2006 amid a stock-option-backdating scandal that resulted in a $468 million settlement with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission, rescued Minnesota United FC with his purchase of the financially struggling North American Soccer League franchise a little more than two years ago. The NASL is a level below MLS, which began to eye the Twin Cities market after seeing United’s success under McGuire.

Longtime NCAA executive Berst will retire in summer INDIANAPOLIS – Longtime NCAA executive David Berst, perhaps best known for announcing SMU football would receive the “death penalty” in 1987 and then fainting, will retire this summer. After a 43-year NCAA career, Berst will be replaced by Kevin Lennon as vice president for Division I governance. Berst joined the NCAA in 1972 as an entry-level employee in the enforcement division and eventually headed the department. When the NCAA moved its headquarters from Overland Park, Kansas, to Indianapolis in 1998, Berst was given a new title – the one he’s held for the past 17 years. During his tenure in enforcement, Berst presided over some of the biggest scandals in NCAA history, had lengthy battles with the late Jerry Tarkanian and presided over the NCAA’s harshest penalty possible to SMU – banning the football program from competition for a year as a repeat violator because of booster payments to athletes.

Guide to buying fishing equipment I’ve spent some time, as of late, talking about buying fishing equipment. I have suggested upgrading only one piece of fishing equipment in your arsenal to try to keep the sport affordable. I hate hearing anecdotes about fishermen having to hide their charge card bills from their wives to try to keep themselves out of divorce court. As always, I recommend that you only buy gear that you can afford. People ask me what gear I use. They often are surprised when I tell them. They assume I get all of my stuff for free from the manufacturers so I will plug their stuff. They assume the factories must send me all of their top-of-the-line product offerings on the house. They are assuming wrong, in all honesty. I do not get any packages from fishing tackle manufacturers, unless it is something I have ordered and paid for out of my own pocket. Yes, there have been occasions when I have been sent products for free, but those products usually are small items from new companies, and they usually are things I don’t care to use. I am talking about items such as floats and lures, not rods and reels. That said, because I do not have a radio show anymore, I do not have any advertisers to consider when recommending products. Even when I did sell ads on the radio show, I only worked with companies I totally trusted and whose products I used regularly. Believe it or not, I often turned down manufacturers who made products I didn’t feel good about having as advertising partners on my show. Now, let’s get to the answer to the question of what equipment I would buy and use if I were to go shopping for basic fishing gear. If I was going to buy a new reel, I would be shopping for a Shimano product. They make the best reels on the planet. I have used them for years and never have had one fail on me. They last and last if you take care of them, and their drag systems

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley are foolproof. In the spinning reel department, I have a number of Spirex models that retail for $59, and they work fine for me. I like the double-paddle handle feature. I have a $99 Symetre that is so smooth I cannot believe it and is worth the 40 extra bucks. My favorite reel is my Shimano Stradic. Don’t tell Mrs. Sarley, but this baby runs $179. I wish I had more of them. The Stradic is perfect. I never have used Shimano’s more expensive reels and have no idea what a reel is like that costs more than $500. I can only dream. I have to make a mention about the Wave Spin reels that were developed by my friend, “The Bass Professor,” Doug Hannon. I have three of these, and I think they cast longer and farther than any other reel. Wave Spin reels come in three models and run between $49 and $139. I haven’t beaten up the Wave Spin reels like I have my Shimanos. I know my Shimano reels are built to last forever. I cannot vouch for the longevity of the Wave Spin reels. Hannon died at an all-too-young age, and I can only hope the new owners of Wave Spin will make their reels under the high standards Doug demanded. As far as baitcasting reels go, I use my Shimano Cruxis an awful lot, and it works well for me. They don’t make that model anymore, but I am sure it was well under a hundred bucks when I bought it. I actually need another baitcaster this year and probably will bite the bullet and get a new Shimano Citica. They are extremely reliable and retail for about $129. If I need to pinch pennies, I’ll go down to their new Caenan model for $89. You don’t need the biggest reels, you need reels that match up with the rods that you will hang them on. My spinning reels are the 2500-sized

You don’t need the biggest reels, you need reels that match up with the rods that you will hang them on. My spinning reels are the 2500-sized models, which are perfect for panfish, walleyes and bass. I spool my baitcasters with heavier line for bigger fish.

Shoulder instability SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker Those who participate in contact sports, like lacrosse and football, are susceptible to shoulder dislocation, but shoulder injuries are also common for ordinary average guys and girls. A middle-aged woman who falls down the stairs, a child who falls off his bike and a senior who trips while on the sidewalk can sustain enough damage to suffer shoulder instability. Trauma, such as the abovementioned, is a common cause of shoulder instability. While the shoulder has great range of motion, you can easily lose stability due to the shallow nature of the shoulder socket and the limited joint compressive force. Meanwhile, multi-directional instability can occur without specific trauma. When uncontrolled by strength and joint coordination, generalized joint laxity can lead to pain and in-

flammation about the shoulder. The excessive force generated by activity can overwhelm the restraints of she shoulder capsule and ligament structures. While you may suffer from shoulder instability, there are things you can do to alleviate your symptoms. Joint stability is aided by the combination of muscular tension and motor control, so therapy should focus on improving the stability of the joint through static and dynamic exercises. If you’re diagnosed with traumatic shoulder stability, bracing can be used to restrict joint motion, in hopes of protecting the shoulder while remaining active. A less obtrusive option, taping can also provide external stabilization for both daily activities and athletics.

If you’re suffering from shoulder instability don’t succumb to the pain. Instead, seek physical therapy, such as that provided at Given Sports & Physical Therapy in Crystal Lake. Call (815) 477-8004 or visit www.givensportspt.com. adno=0301207

Short-cut cooking is source Try alternative therapies to of guilt for busy new wife help ease discomfort of RA Dear Abby: I am a full-time working woman, part-time student and new wife to an incredible husband. We’re in our mid-20s and have been living together for a year, but I have a problem I’m still unsure about. Growing up I never learned to cook. The first meal I ever made was spaghetti when my husband (then fiancé) and I moved into our home. My issue is, I hate cooking. I don’t have the patience for it, and neither does my husband. Should I be ashamed that I indulge in “box” dinners that take little time to prepare? Naturally, I cook meat and vegetables to go along with them, but is it shameful when a wife doesn’t cook everything from scratch? My husband doesn’t mind, but I worry. Shouldn’t a wife cook real meals for her husband? – New Wife In North Carolina Dear New Wife: Because many couples both work, many husbands and wives take turns cooking or prepare dinner together. (“Honey, I’ll do the salad and vegetables; you fix the chicken/fish/chops on the grill.”) The problem with pre-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips packaged meals is that many of them contain more sodium and/or other additives that nutritionists say are bad for one’s health when consumed on a regular basis, so I think you do have cause for concern. The most important ingredient in a lasting marriage is a partner who lasts, so if you want yours to last, be vigilant about what you put in your stomachs. Dear Abby: I’m a 29-yearold woman, and I have been with my fiancé, “Gary,” for three years. We became engaged six months ago. When I brought up wedding ideas recently, Gary responded with, “There are things that have to be resolved before I can even think about getting married.” In the discussion that followed, he said I need to get a better-paying job so I can contribute to the renovations on the house, buy my own personal items and have a shorter commute. I’m hurt because I believe marriage is about commit-

ting to the person you love. I also realize you can’t live on love alone. Am I overly sensitive about this? Is Gary’s request reasonable, or do you think he’s just looking for an excuse not to get married? –

Love Above All In New York Dear Love Above All: Pay attention to what your fiancé said because it appears he has unilaterally mapped out your future for you. This sounds less like a request to me than a demand. Open your eyes and keep talking with him. Did he specify whether your name will be on the deed to the house you will contribute to renovating? (I hope so.) I also hope you will be lucky enough to find a higher-paying job with a shorter commute, because not everyone is able to do that. Because I believe in both love and practicality, I think it’s important you and Gary have premarital counseling together to clarify whether you’re on the same page regarding finances. • Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Dear Dr. K: I have rheumatoid arthritis. Medications have helped, but only up to a point. Can you discuss alternative therapies that might help relieve my discomfort? Dear Reader: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term disease in which the body’s immune system attacks healthy tissue lining the joints. This causes swelling, pain, redness and stiffness in joints throughout the body. Drug treatments slow the effects of the disease, but alternative approaches also can help to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. I’ll tell you what I know about the evidence for some of the more popular alternative therapies. Talk to your doctor before you try any of these. • Acupuncture involves inserting tiny, sterile needles into the skin. It may relieve pain by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. The few studies of acupuncture for RA have had mixed results. If acupuncture is performed by experienced therapists who are careful to sterilize their needles, it may help, and it has little risk. • Meditation. With mindfulness meditation, you are directed to focus your attention

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff on the present moment. At least one study found this type of meditation helped people with RA cope with pain. • Biofeedback is a technique that helps you monitor and control your body’s responses. Some evidence suggests this may be helpful for pain relief in people with RA. • Relaxation training includes the technique of tensing certain muscles and then relaxing them. Relaxation training has been studied for RA, with mixed results. • Tai chi is a low-impact, slow-motion exercise that emphasizes breathing and mental focus. Some small studies have not shown tai chi to improve joint pain, swelling or tenderness in people with RA. However, it did improve mood, quality of life and overall functioning. • Yoga combines physical postures, breathing exercises and meditation. Some small studies have found yoga improves physical function and helps relieve tender and swollen joints. People with RA

should practice yoga cautiously to avoid placing too much stress on affected joints. • Fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids, the primary fat found in cold-water fish (such as salmon, tuna, herring, sardines and mackerel), have anti-inflammatory properties. You can consume more omega-3 fatty acids by eating more fish or by taking fish oil supplements. Studies have found fish oil supplements may help with tender joints and stiffness. However, fish oil supplements may increase the risk for bleeding, especially in people who take medications to prevent clotting. So if you are taking any such medications, check with your doctor before starting to take fish oil supplements. With each of these alternative therapies, some people did not have improved results. Unfortunately, your doctor has no way of knowing if you’ll be one of the people who benefits. So if an approach that helps some people has little or no risk, it might be worth trying. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Teen wants to return to birth mother to gain more freedom Dr. Wallace: I’m 14 and have a big problem. I live with adoptive parents who are very strict, yet I know they love me. They limit the time I can talk to friends on the phone, limit and monitor my television viewing and they make me go to summer school. But what bugs me the most is they refuse to allow me to spend much time with my best friends.

thing for me. My adoptive parents give me a good home and feed me well, and I’m thankful. But I think my real mom would give me more freedom. I get to see her once a month. I I know my friends are love her a lot, and she also not angels, but they are not tells me she loves me when really bad.

good people and for me to follow their rules. I keep asking my real mom to let me live with her, but she says it’s impossible because I legally belong to them. It’s like I’m a slave that belongs to them. Is it possible that if I talk my adoptive parents into giving me up, I legally could go back with my real mother where I belong? – Nameless, Provi-

dence, Rhode Island

Nameless: Your birth mother knew that placing you in a home with adoptive parents who would love you and would do their best to see that you turn out to be a respectable young person would be the best thing for you. With their guidance, it appears that is what will happen. Very few parents, whether or not their children were adopted, would allow

a 14-year-old child to hang with friends who smoke, drink, take drugs and use “rough” language. Be very happy for the parents you have, and do everything you can to make them proud because they are your “real” parents and the other mother in your life is your birth mother and friend. • Write to Dr. Wallace at rwallace@galesburg.net.

JONES SAYS ‘STARS WARS’ ROLE IS ‘REALLY EXCITING’

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, March 26, 2015 • Section C • Page 10

NEW YORK – Felicity Jones laughs and says “absolutely” when asked if she’s coming up with various ways to say she can’t talk about her starring role in the “Star Wars” spin-off “Rogue One.” “I can’t talk about it. It’s really, really exciting but I can’t talk about it,” she said in a recent interview. The film was confirmed by Disney’s Bob Iger at a shareholders meeting in San Francisco earlier this month. Gareth Edwards (“Godzilla”) will begin directing this summer. The movie is scheduled for a Dec. 16, 2016, release. Jones, 31, was nominated for a best-actress Oscar for her role as Jane Hawking in “The Theory of Everything.”

Paul McCartney and his band perform Feb. 14 in New York. McCartney will be among 130 acts at this year’s Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago. It will be his first appearance at Lollapalooza.

McCartney, Metallica to headline Lollapalooza 2015 CHICAGO – Paul McCartney, Metallica and Sam Smith will be among 130 acts at this year’s Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago. Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell said Florence + the Machine, Bassnectar and The Weeknd are also on the lineup. Farrell said “young talented artists will be performing alongside legends.” McCartney will be making his first appearance at Lollapalooza, while Metallica is taking a stage for the first time since 1996. Others performing include Kaskade, Alesso, NERO, Dillon Francis, Carnage, Nicky Romero and DJ Snake. Farrell said the lineup contains “fresh faces,” including MisterWives, Ryn Weaver, Catfish and Bottlemen. The festival, taking place July 31 to Aug. 2, marks its 11-year anniversary in Chicago’s Grant Park. Festival officials say three-day general admission tickets sold out within an hour. Single-day general admission tickets remain.

LONDON – And then there were four: Zayn Malik said Wednesday he is leaving chart-topping boy band One Direction “to be a normal 22-year-old.” In an announcement that broke teenage hearts and sent social media into a tizzy, Malik’s bandmates said they were sad to see him go “but we totally respect his decision and send him all our love for the future.” Malik, who quit the band’s world tour last week citing stress, said in a statement that his time with One Direction “has been more Zayn Malik than I could ever have imagined.” “But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band,” he said. “I’d like to apologize to the fans if I’ve let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. “I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.”

Celine Dion returns to Caesars Palace stage in August LAS VEGAS – Celine Dion is returning to The Colosseum stage at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas starting Aug. 27 after a year-long hiatus to care for her husband, allow her inflamed throat muscles to heal and spend time with her three children. Caesars Entertainment Corp. announced Wednesday that the singer’s residency would resume with 40 performances between August and January. The singer says in a statement that it was her husband

Rene Angelil who urged her return to the stage since last performing at The Colosseum on July 29 and canceling a fall Asian tour. Angelil has been recovering after having a cancerous tumor removed last year.

Oprah Winfrey’s network to do series on dad with 34 children NEW YORK – Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network said Wednesday it is making a television series on the life of an Atlanta man who claims to have fathered 34 children with 17 different women. The series, set to premiere in September, is a spin-off of the network’s “Iyanla: Fix My Life” series where the spiritual life coach tried to help the man, a video producer named Jay Williams, get his life in order. The untitled new series will follow Williams as he tries to establish new connections with his children and their mothers. OWN said the “extreme situation” will challenge Williams’ intentions to live up to his responsibilities.

Cover unveiled for Harper Lee novel NEW YORK – The cover for Harper Lee’s new novel will surely remind you of the cover for her old one. On Wednesday, HarperCollins unveiled the jacket art for Lee’s “Go Set a Watchman,” the unexpected follow-up to her classic “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The new cover, like the one for “To Kill a Mockingbird,” is a moody illustration featuring an oak tree in front, but also shows train tracks and a train in the distance. In a statement released by HarperCollins, company President Michael Morrison noted that “Go Set a Watchman” begins with “Mockingbird” protagonist Scout Finch returning by train 20 years later, in the 1950s, to her native Alabama.

Raise your rooms to new heights with eye-catching ceilings “The ceiling is the most overlooked design element in a space, hands down,” said Brian Patrick Flynn, whose interiors are regularly featured on HGTV. com and often showcased by his own company, FlynnsideOut Productions. Consider this: The largest solid surface in a room - besides the floor - is the ceiling. Instead of leaving it bright white or builder beige, convert this blank canvas into a decorative canopy of color and texture. Flynn and other influential designers are forecasting a ceiling “revival” in 2015. Fresh interpretations of vintage styles - such as gleaming metal tiles and textural wood beams - are helping inspire that trend, along with new, easy-to-install products that put these ceiling projects well within the reach of today’s DIY-ers. “Just like people, rooms need different

layers to be one-of-a kind,” Flynn said. “That includes a ceiling that makes people look up and scan the entire space.”

Here are some hot ceiling trends to take your rooms to new heights:

• Layer on the luster. Stamped metal ceilings have contributed shine and sophistication to American homes since they were introduced in the 1880s. Besides beauty, metal ceilings offer practicality. They resist mold and mildew, offer sag resistance and last longer than plaster or drywall. Metallaire metal ceiling tiles from Armstrong are available in 12 patterns, and a variety of finishes, including chrome, copper, brass, white and lacquered steel. The lacquered steel panels also can be painted to accent or blend with the rest of the room. Regardless of the finish, the texture of the tiles creates a tactile top layer to the space.

• Mix and match ceiling styles. Some room designers are combining different decorating elements at the top, such as inlaying the recesses of coffered ceilings with gold or copper tiles. Flynn said he’s also a fan of tongue-and-groove ceilings accented with beams. “This adds a ton of visual interest to the room, and can make it feel much larger,” he said.

• Create character with wood. From rustic timber to sleek teak, wood hues help set the tone in a room. Besides imparting a sense of warmth, the grains and knots in wood panels add a textural layer that contrasts nicely with smooth surfaces like painted walls and granite countertops. • Add architectural depth. Coffered ceilings first appeared in Roman architecture, and their geometric elegance has graced grand buildings ever since. Today, the cost and complexity of building coffered ceilings have been reduced by lightweight materials and easy-to-install prefabricated systems that boast features like mold, mildew and sag resistance. Flynn recommends homeowners start thinking about their ceiling by exploring websites for ideas. A good place to start is www.armstrong.com/residential-ceilings, which offers hundreds of examples, including some interesting before-and-after photos.

HOMElife This top garage trend keeps gaining momentum (BPT) - The carriage house garage door is to your house what the little black dress and strand of pearls are to your wardrobe; classic style elements that never go out of fashion. At the dawn of the automobile age, those who were affluent enough to own a car kept it in the carriage house, where the horses and buggy would have been stored. But this cohabitation became a little, well, smelly, and the need for separate storing structures was soon realized. Enter, the garage. Built in the style of the original carriage house, the garage’s sole intent was to store the car away from the animals and elements. The word garage actually comes from the French word, garer, which means to shelter and protect. Naturally, the garage needed a door to offer protection to the automobile. The ensuing “carriage house door” was a hinged, double door that swung outwards, and can be considered the original garage door. In the early 1920s, the kickout door was invented and progress continued from there, bringing homeowners the modern convenience of today’s overhead garage doors. Today’s carriage house sectional garage doors open overhead and continue to gain in popularity, constituting 35 percent

of the volume in the garage door industry with projections to remain a huge trend. When it comes to the style of garage door chosen, most homeowners want something classic, that won’t fade in popularity over the years and will also enhance curb appeal. This is especially true if home resale is a factor. The carriage house door also offers a myriad of design elements. For example, the Classica Collection by Amarr

offers a dual-directional wood grain design that provides the realistic look of wood with the practicality and lowmaintenance upkeep of steel. With a three-section design and the option of larger windows, this door offers a more authentic carriage house look with the benefit of additional natural light flow into your garage. Two-tone looks are also available with many color combinations and panel designs, and hardware and window choices are plentiful. These different design options can be tailored specifically to

your home’s façade and will further enhance curb appeal. If you’re thinking of replacing a tired garage door in an effort to boost your home’s curb appeal, consider the classic carriage house door whose popularity has only continued to grow over the last century. With a timeless design that can be specifically tailored to your house, it’s a choice that both you - and future owners of your home - can happily live with for a long time.

Better insulation in your interiors and exteriors won t just drive away excess noise, it will also reduce your heating and cooling bills during the hot and cold months. For the best sound proofing and easy installation quality, a professional-grade product by ROXUL called Safe n Sound is very popular.

• Seal up all cracks and holes around windows and doors, and add double glazed windows to your current glass panes.

How to soundproof your home What’s the first step in sound proofing your home? Finding which rooms have the least amount of sound resistance. To do this, make sure everyone is out of the house, unplug all electronics and close all doors and windows. Take a quick walk through your house and pause for a few moments in each room to evaluate which ones are the noisiest. Now consider if you’re installing a media room or teenage recreational room where volumes will be blasting on TV’s and stereos. With this information, you should have a good idea of where you need to soundproof and create barriers against noise. Here are some tips to help you achieve the optimal result of peace and quiet:

exterior of your home, perhaps along a fence. Not only do trees and hedges help with the environment and provide a good amount of privacy, they also slow down the travel of noise from the neighborhood into your home.

• Plant trees and hedges along the

• Insulate your walls and ceilings.

Once you ve selected the best soundproofing method, implement it and enjoy the bliss of silence throughout your home.

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - You may be in a hurry to get ahead. Gauge your responsibilities carefully and be sure you have enough time and resources to reach your goals. A lack of focus will develop if you don’t take time to rejuvenate. Balance will be the key to your success. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Too much time spent hanging around the house will not help you get ahead. Give in to your playful side. Get together with friends or make plans with a loved one and have some fun. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will make positive strides if you are determined and dedicated. Self-discipline will ensure steady progress. Love is highlighted, and special plans will enhance a personal relationship. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will face trouble when it comes to some of your decisions. Stop procrastinating and take care of unfinished business. A sense of achievement will give you incentive to take on a new challenge. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Loss is apparent. Keep an eye on your wallet and ensure that your valuables and assets are secure. Go through your personal paperwork and make changes that will improve your standard of living. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take a realistic look at your relationships. If you are bored or in a rut, consider what it will take to bring you greater happiness and satisfaction, and get to work. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone will try to ruin your reputation. Keep all of your business dealings open and aboveboard. Any questionable choices will put you in a vulnerable position. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Add some excitement to your routine. Attend a course that appeals to your artistic and creative interests. The ability to express yourself in a different medium will bring you satisfaction. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Unanticipated home or personal expenses will put a strain on your budget. Don’t ignore your financial position. Take care of any problems using cost-efficient methods. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Disappointment with regard to important partnerships should best be dealt with quickly. Leading someone on or making promises that you don’t want to keep will make matters worse. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have the zest and vigor to accomplish everything you set out to do. Make plans for some enjoyable leisure time with people you like. You deserve some fun. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The more you travel and communicate with others, the more knowledgeable you will become. The assortment of ideas with which you come into contact will help you shape your own convictions. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t let anyone push you around. You will be frustrated if you refuse to stand up for yourself. Let others know what you will and will not tolerate.

LEVER AT DUKE’S ALEHOUSE

PlanitNorthwest.com • Thursday, March 26, 2015

os Lobos is still pretty much the same band it was more than 40 years ago when it first started playing its unique blend of Chicano-rooted rock music in East Los Angeles. Still touring as much as possible. Still making records. Still challenged to make great music, said 32-year-old Steve Berlin, who’s played saxophone, percussion, flute, midsax, harmonica and melodica for the band since the early 1980s. “The hangovers are harder to deal with,” he said jokingly. “Seriously, to a certain extent, we’re all the same knuckleheads we’ve always been. We didn’t really have any kind of grand design when we began this. It’s all been a pleasant shock. Nobody thinks you’re going to last for 40 years.”

The band – featuring Berlin, along with David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas and Conrad Lozano – will return to the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake for an 8 p.m. March 28 performance. Tickets start at $50 at www.rauecenter. org or 815-356-9212. The concert is a return to the the Grammy-award winning band’s beloved Chicago area, Berlin said. “It’s more home than home to a certain extent,” he said. “I think we spend more time in Chicago than anywhere else. We love being there. We love the area. We really wouldn’t be where we are without our friends in Chicago. That’s not in any glib way. We definitely wouldn’t be as far along.” The band’s distinct sound and songwriting – a blend of blues, R&B, cumbia

and barrio rock & roll – has carried the band’s reputation far beyond its initial No. 1 hit with “La Bamba,” a rendition of the Ritchie Valens song for a film of the same name. The 1987 film starring a little-knownat-the-time Lou Diamond Phillips and based on the biographical story of Valens, who died at age 17 in a plane crash, went on to gross more than $52 million and win a Golden Globe award. At the time of filming and recording the soundtrack, though, those involved had no idea of its pending success. “We literally thought it was going absolutely nowhere,” Berlin said. “A firsttime director, a movie about a 17-year-old kid. Nobody in the cast had every really been heard of and they were all Hispanic. The odds were maybe a million to one it

LIVIN’ THE LOS LOBOS LIFE Band brings its golden blend of Chicano rock to Crystal Lake

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Los Lobos, featuring David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano and Steve Berlin, will perform at 8 p.m. March 28 at the Raue Center for the Arts.

Steve Berlin

was going to be a big hit. “I thought [the movie] was powerful. … I remember thinking, ‘It’s a shame no one is going to see this movie. It’s going to be good.’ We thought it would go straight to cable.” The band still plays “La Bamba” in concert when requested, Berlin said, but the band has a wealth of other stylistic material – including music featured in the films “Colors” and “Desperado,” the Grammy-award winning songs “Mariachi Suite” and “Anselma” and album “La Pistola y El Corazon. (“The first one,” Berlin said of the Grammy wins, “we didn’t think anyone was even paying attention.”) Along with the live album, “Disconnected in New York,” recorded in 2013, the band released “Tin Can Trust” in 2010

and now is working on a new album. “The thing I’m proud of is a lot of bands, when they get to a generous middle age, they try to do something in a very pale reflection of what they were years ago,” Berlin said. “That’s not who we are. We still try to act and do and record art the way we always have, but, only in a sense when people want to hear certain songs, do we go backward. … I’m proud of us acknowledging who we are and where we are in the space-time continuum and not pretending to be anything [other] than what we are right now.” Every concert Los Lobos – Spanish for “the wolves” – performs during its nonstop touring is a reflection of the audience, Berlin said. “If it’s a drinking, dancing crowd,

we’ll go one way,” he said. “If it’s a sitdown, theater crowd, we’ll go another. We try to take the temperature of the audience and go from there.” Berlin downplayed the influence Los Lobos has had through the years. This, despite the band’s critical acclaim, four decades of success and its wide range of music, stemming from its first full-length album – the rock-oriented “How Will the Wolf Survive?” in 1984 – to its more recent stylistic, storytelling albums. “The Town and The City” in 2006 has an immigration theme with subtle songs and anthems about the hard life of outsiders in a new place. “It’s not like we set a trend for anything except maybe graceful aging,” Berlin said with a laugh.

LOS LOBOS WHEN: 8 p.m. March 28 WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake INFO: Since 1974, East L.A.’s Los Lobos has been exploring the artistic and commercial possibilities of American biculturalism, moving back and forth between their Chicano roots and their love of American rock & roll. Along with their own hits, they have been guests on albums by Ry Cooder, Elvis Costello, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Roomful of Blues and Paul Simon. Tickets start at $50.

A scene from “Home.” Photo provided

ADVENTURE ‘HOME’ LANDS WITH A THUD By JOCELYN NOVECK The Associated Press In “Home,” the latest adventure from DreamWorks Animation, the misfit alien protagonist is called Oh (“The Big Bang Theory’s” Jim Parsons) simply because that’s the resigned reaction everyone has when he’s around. “Oh,” his brethren say with deep indifference at his desperate, over-the-top attempts to fit in and make friends. It’s meant to turn into something positive by the end of the film. Unfortunately, “oh” is also the experience of watching “Home,” an earnest exercise that falls flat, despite the best of intentions. The film, adapted from Adam Rex’s beloved kids book “The True Meaning of Smekday,” tells the story of an isolated alien race – the Boov – who are consistently staging elaborate (albeit friendly) takeovers on planets throughout the galaxy as they run from an intergalactic enemy. Led by the cowardly, arrogant Captain Smek (Steve Martin), the Boov are six-legged creatures with wide-set eyes and pig tail ears who change skin colors with their moods and speak in a bizarre, jumbled, contraction-free version of English. For the most part, the Boov are an ornery bunch who keep to themselves. Oh is the exception. After the Boov’s invasion of Earth, Oh sets the plot in motion by accidentally emailing a party invitation to the entire galaxy. Suddenly a fugitive from his own people, he eventually teams up with Gratuity “Tip”

“HOME” STARRING: Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin PLOT: Oh, an alien on the run from his own people, lands on Earth and makes friends with the adventurous Tip, who is on a quest of her own. RATED: PG for mild action and some rude humor RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 34 minutes Tucci, (Rihanna), a 12-year-old girl who avoided the relocation suction tubes and was separated from her mother, Lucy (Jennifer Lopez). They set off in a flying car powered by slushie machines in search of Lucy. Director Tim Johnson (“Antz”) has compiled so many appealing elements – including the source material, the voice cast and a bouncy Rihannaheavy soundtrack – that it’s hard to believe “Home” lands with such a thud. Most of the problems are with Oh. He might be earnest and learn a few lessons, but with his manic energy, he also is not someone you’d want to keep company with, even for an hour and a half. While Tip has the makings of a compelling, spirited character, most of that comes through in the animation and the help of well-placed pop songs. Rihanna’s jaded and subdued voice-acting leaves a lot to be desired.Visually, the world of “Home” is somewhat flat and synthetic, even in 3-D. “Home” has a good heart, and yet, much like Oh, its valiant efforts to be fun just fizzle.

MIXED SUCCESS WITH STEREOTYPES IN ‘GET HARD’

By SANDY COHEN The Associated Press While the stereotypes in “Get Hard” may be gross exaggerations, its characters live in the real world: A place where the chasm between rich and poor is vast and growing; where black men are disproportionately jailed and whitecollar criminals often evade punishment. In this comedy from firsttime director Etan Cohen, James (Will Ferrell) is a Los Angeles millionaire hedgefund investor whose life of indulgence and ignorance is interrupted by a surprise prison sentence for fraud. He turns to the guy who runs the company car wash, Darnell (Kevin Hart) – apparently the only black person he has ever met – and asks for help to prepare for 10 years in maximum security. Darnell has no jail experience, but he agrees because he needs money to buy a home in a better school district for his little girl. When Darnell’s wife, Rita (Edwina Findley Dickerson) – the only voice of reason – asks what he did to give the impression he had a criminal record, he replies, “I was being black.” Darnell’s pre-jail prep class includes transforming his student’s Bel-Air mansion into a pretend prison, the household staff gleefully becoming its guards. “Get Hard” traffics in crude humor involving more than one look at Farrell’s naked tush and a tiring amount of puns on the film’s title. Stars and producers of “Get Hard” defended the film after its premiere at South by Southwest last week, where some viewers and critics called it racist and homophobic. So when does satire become

“GET HARD” STARRING: Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, Alison Brie PLOT: When millionaire James King is nailed for fraud and bound for San Quentin, he turns to Darnell Lewis to prep him to go behind bars. RATED: R for pervasive crude and sexual content and language, some graphic nudity and drug material RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 40 minutes an expression of the very sentiment it hopes to ridicule? James’ initial bias against blacks is overt. He’s afraid of Darnell when they first meet, and openly assumes he has been to jail because of his race, citing the statistical likelihood. That can work as satire. But when Darnell misses all of James’ literary references, is that satire, or is it racist and classist? James has two love interests, one white and one black. The black woman does more twerking than speaking. Does that satirize a racist and sexist stereotype, or reinforce it? It’s tricky territory to tread, and “Get Hard” doesn’t always get it right, but in a nation where racial and economic divides are growing, it deserves credit for trying. The film stays afloat on the goofy charm of its leads, a great soundtrack and an undercurrent of truth. The country really does have a prison problem, jailing more of its citizens than anywhere in the world, black men at six times the rate of whites. One of the biggest leaps here is that a wealthy Wall Street scoundrel would be facing hard time.

UP CLOSE

Bill Bellamy: ‘As hungry as when I first started’ By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com As Bill Bellamy has grown up with his fans, he’s gone from jokes about “booty calls” – the phrase he famously coined on “Def Comedy Jam” – to jokes about marriage and fatherhood. With the right perspective, it all can be funny, said Bellamy, who first gained fame on the 1990s’ HBO series that launched the careers of several stand-up comedians. “You can’t be talking about the same thing you were talking about 20 years ago,” he said. “You have to evolve. … Stuff happens to me. It’s like, ‘I can’t make this sh-- up.’ Funny sh-- jut happens to me.” Since his stand-up days as a student at Rutgers University in New Jersey, Bellamy has gone on to star in and host numerous television shows and top-rated Showtime comedy specials. He became a staple on MTV as one of the network’s first “VJs,” or host of shows, such as “MTV Jams” and “MTV Beach House.” He

hosted “Last Comic Standing,” and starred in television series, including “The Bill Bellamy Show” and “Mr. Box Office.” He’s now the host of “Let’s Ask America,” an interactive gameshow in which contestants compete for cash from home via web chat. The show airs daily on E.W. Scripps Company channels throughout the country. Bellamy also has been in several feature films, with his latest, “The Bounce Back,” expected to be released in the fall. Through it all, his feet are never too far from the stage. “Nothing is better to me than live entertainment,” he said. He’ll perform five shows March 26-28 at Chicago Improv in Schaumburg. Tickets cost $28 at www.chicago.improv. com. Here’s more of what Bellamy had to say about his career so far: Kunzer: What was your major at Rutgers, and has the degree come in handy? Bellamy: Economics and

marketing. I’m officially branding myself. I think what I saw, which was a blessing, was that I could brand myself a certain way and market myself and sort of build my company off of my talent. Twenty years later, I’m still working hard. I’m really excited about where my career is going. Kunzer: Tell us about your comedy tour. Bellamy: It’s called ‘Ladies Night Out.’ I wanted to do something that as soon as you heard it, it sounded like fun. It’s also a relationship survival show. I talk about all the funny things about relationships. Our catchphrase is ‘one joke at a time.’ I get a lot of birthdays, new jobs, anniversaries or ‘Oh my God, I want to get together with my girls and go out and drink.’ We get a lot of divorcees. ... I just want to go out and have some fun. With the economy being what it is, people stressing in their lives, you need to do anything to give people a time to relax and laughter.

Kunzer: Do you ever not want to be known as the man who coined the phrase ‘booty call’? Bellamy: It’s a funny thing. Booty call is funny. The word is funny. I knew it was going to work. I think if you look at my body of work, I’ve written so many other jokes that are just as funny. That was a joke at the time of something going on in my life. It was a snapshot of a Friday when a guy was trying to get a girl to come out of her house and come over. The same thing goes on for women if there’s a hot guy they want to come over. When I was doing it, I didn’t know if the booty

was in my area. That’s why you called. Now with [the dating site] Tinder, you can look and see where the booty is. With Tinder, you’re cheating. Kunzer: What are some things you still want to do? Bellamy: I want to get an Oscar. I want to write a hit song. I want to make some more fun movies and you know, get another hit series on the air. I’m still striving as if I’ve never done anything. I never take notice until I do an interview of the stuff I’ve accomplished already. I’m still as hungry as I was when I first started.

The following are upcoming concerts scheduled in the area.

Pet of the Week CHARLES 6 YEAR 9 MONTH OLD MALE ORANGE & WHITE DSH

A kind man saw him hanging around his home so he started feeding him. He tried to bring him inside but his cats didn't like that idea. The man was moving and didn't want Charles to be left behind. He got him in a carrier and brought him to Helping Paws. Charles came with a pretty bad neck wound and a puncture wound on his paw. We tended to his wounds and gave him time to heal. Finally he was neutered, microchipped, given his shots, wormed and tested for feline leukemia and feline immunodeﬁciency virus (FIV). Unfortunately he tested positive for FIV. He is not sick and he can live a relatively normal life span. FIV is mainly passed from cat to cat through deep bite wounds, the kind that usually occur outdoors in ﬁghts---perfect reason to keep your cats inside. FIV can't be transmitted to any other animals like your dog or to humans. Charles is very sweet, loves his treats and enjoys head scratches. He would need to be an indoor only cat, visit his vet yearly for wellness checks and eat nutritionally balanced food. He could be an only cat, companion to another FIV+ cat and if introduced properly many people have had FIV+ and FIV- cats live together. Come meet Charles at Helping Paws Animal Shelter located at 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock, Illinois. Charles deserves a better life than he has had so far. Can you give it to him? Our website is www.helpingpaws.net or call us at 815-338-4400.
