Effort to combine townships launched Group plans to lobby County Board on issue By KEVIN P. CRAVER Photos by H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Crews from Plote Construction work Monday on the base of the new Route 14 just east of Lily Pond Road between Crystal Lake and Woodstock. The $48 million reconstruction and widening project is scheduled to be completed by fall 2016.

Road construction season arrives in county Widening of Route 14 tops list of area projects By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com The widening of Route 14 between Crystal Lake and Woodstock is by far the largest item that workers this year will cross off McHenry County’s road project wish list. The $48 million project that started last fall with clearing right-of-way will begin in earnest this year and wrap up next year. Work will wrap up this year on the widening of Route 31 south of Rakow Road in Crystal Lake, and on the final phase of a project to improve Charles Miller Road in McHenry. What does this mean for you, the driver? Budget extra time and plan for delays. The following is a list of some of this year’s major road projects affecting McHenry County drivers that will start, continue or finish this year: • ROUTE 14: Plans call for rebuilding and widening Route 14 from West Lake Shore Drive in Woodstock to just south of Crystal Lake Avenue. While the project is separated into two contracts, with Lucas Road near McHenry County College separating them, work on both will take place simultaneously, meaning drivers will need to plan for two work zones. The road will be widened to two lanes in each direction, separated by a 22-foot landscaped median, according to Illinois Department

A Hometown Electric worker removes signals Monday at the intersection of Routes 14 and 176 in Crystal Lake. of Transportation plans. A 10-foot bike path will be included from Lake Shore Drive to just past MCC. Traffic signals will be improved or installed at eight intersections along the route. One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction through construction. • CHARLES MILLER ROAD: Road construction will soon begin in earnest to widen and improve Charles Miller Road from Esmaralda Park to Route 31. Utility relocation and sewer work took place through the winter. Workers will finish widening Charles Miller Road to four lanes west to Route 31, and improve its intersection with Route 31 and Bull Valley Road. Bull Valley Road from the Union Pacific railroad tracks west will be improved as part of the plan. One lane in each direction will be maintained on affected roads. Work on the project, pegged at $17.3 million, is expected to wrap up in November, weather permitting. • SOUTH MAIN STREET:

Crystal Lake drivers should be ready for delays as construction starts to widen and improve a stretch of South Main Street and Pyott Road from south of Route 14 to north of Rakow Road. The project will widen the entire road to four lanes – eliminating choke points for northbound drivers on Pyott Road and southbound drivers on South Main Street – and improve the roads’ intersection with Virginia Road. Work on the pavement is starting after workers through the winter relocated utilities and installed temporary traffic signals. The $5.7 million project, the cost of which is being paid by a federal grant, the city and McHenry County, will be finished by November, weather permitting. • ROUTE 31: Work is set to wrap up this spring on a $5.2 million project to widen Route 31 to four lanes from south of Rakow Road to just north of Trinity Drive on the borders of Lake in the Hills and Cary. The improvement project started

He is chairman of McHenry County Citizens for Township Consolidation, a new group launching a grassroots effort to pressure the County Board to put referendums before voters next March that would, if completely successful, more than halve the number of townships from 17 to eight. The plan does not eliminate township government, long the cause of local anti-township activist Bob Anderson, but reduces the number and reduces cost, said Shorten, who was first elected in 2013 shortly after his appointment to finish an unexpired term. He said the push by new Gov. Bruce Rauner for government consolidation, plus efforts elsewhere in Illinois to eliminate particular townships, has given the cause momentum. “We’re specifically trying to look at reducing the cost of township government,” Shorten said. “We’re not trying to take away services

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com LAKE VILLA – Lake County Sheriff’s police continue to search for the person who shot a 22-year-old McHenry resident Monday night. Justin K. Diedrich was shot once in the arm and torso by an unknown offender, Lake County Sheriff’s Sgt. Curtis Gregory said. Police said they aren’t sure where or what time the shooting occurred, but found Diedrich near the PMO Club, a bar in the 37000 block of Route 59 in unincorporated Lake Villa about 9:45 p.m. Monday. Gregory said a bar employee called police to say

that someone who had been shot was at the bar. Gregory was certain Diedrich was not shot inside the bar. “Right now we’re just working on trying to put it all together,” Gregory said. Diedrich was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville in critical condition Monday, but will survive his injuries, Gregory said. A nursing supervisor at the hospital did not have Diedrich listed as a patient Tuesday. Gregory would not release any details on the possible motive for the shooting or Diedrich’s cooperation with the investigation. He said more information will be released, but could not specify when.

What’s the origin of this day of hoaxes? Traditions can be funny things. We often go along with them without ever thinking about from whence they came. What’s more, sometimes no one can really tell us their origins, or their roots have become so obscure as to be practically meaningless. Such is the case with April Fools’ Day. That’s today, by the way. Of course, given the nature of the “holiday” – to make others look silly through practical jokes and elaborate hoaxes – trying to get to the bottom of its origin can be downright tricky. First off, how April Fools’ Day started isn’t clear, but there are a few theories. The most popular, or at least the one that can be found in more than one place, is that the day came about in 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII sought a change in the calendar. As the story goes, some in France who used the earlier Julian calendar

Joan Oliver were slow to adopt the new Gregorian calendar and continued to celebrate the new year between March 25 and April 1. They then became subject to pranks and teasing for not going along with the change. That seems to jibe with human nature, yet it doesn’t entirely explain April Fools’ Day because not all European countries made the switch at the same time. In fact, England didn’t adopt the new calendar until 1752. Yet April Fools’ Day already was being celebrated there. As with many things, what appears to be plausible on the surface doesn’t really stand up to further scrutiny. Adding to the confusion is the

Some historians point to Roman festivals, such as the Saturnalia and Hilaria. In India, there’s Holi, the festival of color. In Northern Europe, there was a festival to honor Lud, a Celtic god of humor. Of course, in trying to get to the bottom of April Fools’ Day, one has to wonder whether even these origin stories aren’t elaborate hoaxes. Who knows whether this isn’t just another “fool’s errand,” full of made-up details meant to amuse? Whatever the case may be, April Fools’ Day remains a day when we’d best keep our guard up. Wait a minute, maybe that’s a good idea every day.

issue that the holiday, despite being widespread throughout Europe and elsewhere, isn’t often mentioned in literature. The Museum of Hoaxes, a website (www.hoaxes.org) devoted to hoaxes and urban legends, points to possible written references to the day as early as the 1300s. However, it wasn’t until the mid1500s that there is a clear mention of a practical joke being played on April 1. That’s found in a comical poem by the Flemish writer Eduard De Dene. Over time, the custom spread to the rest of Europe, appearing in writings in Britain by the late 17th century. Then again, maybe April Fools’ Day actually comes from “renewal festivals,” celebrations of the end of winter and the beginning of spring. These festivals, held in many cultures around the world, often involved pranks and disguises.

LOCAL BRIEFS Oakwood Hills woman injured in scooter crash OAKWOOD HILLS – A 27-yearold Oakwood Hills woman was flown to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville after crashing a scooter Monday, firefighters said. The woman was not wearing any protective gear when she crashed the scooter shortly before 9 p.m. Monday in the 100 block of Lake Shore Drive in Oakwood Hills, according to a news release from the Cary Fire Protection District. Officials said when they arrived the woman was in stable condition, which they defined as acutely ill or injured, with unstable vital signs not within normal limits. Cary paramedics took the woman to Cary Junior High School, 2109 Crystal Lake Road, where a Flight for Life helicopter transfered her to the hospital in Libertyville, according to the release. The Oakwood Hills police department is investigating the crash, fire officials said.

Public works employees, village agree on 3-year contract By ALLISON GOODRICH LAKE IN THE HILLS – Lake in the Hills officials and the village’s public works employees have reached a three-year agreement, which the senior union representative has called a fair contract on both ends. The contract was unanimously approved Thursday by the Lake in the Hills Village Board. The roughly 35 people who belong to the Service Employees International Union

Local 73 ratified the contract March 17, senior union representative for Local 73 Ryan Carone said. “This is something we worked very hard on,” Carone said. “It’s going to keep us in line with the salary of other municipalities.” He added there are no sweeping changes that will negatively affect the unit. The agreement includes cost-of-living increases for each year the contract is in effect – 2.25 percent for year one

and 2 percent for years two and three, Lake in the Hills Village Administrator Jerry Sagona wrote in an email. “The negotiations went quite well,” Sagona stated in an email. “The union and the village each presented reasonable demands, which aided in the process.” Aside from cost-of-living adjustments, the contract also includes two new provisions. The first is the village’s ability to monitor village vehicles using GPS technology, accord-

ing to the contract. Sagona said this will help the village create service routes, improve efficiency, minimize risks and reduce insurance costs. The contract also indicates the village will designate one of the workers currently assigned as a mechanic to serve as the lead mechanic. This person will receive a monthly stipend of $100 under the new agreement. The contract will be in effect from Jan. 1, 2015, to Dec. 31, 2017.

Education, finances at issue in D-15 By CHELSEA McDOUGALL

Election Central

cmcdougall@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Education and finances are the order of the day for many candidates seeking a spot on the elementary School District 15 Board. Incumbents Paul Santopadre, John O’Neill and Mike Hettermann are seeking to retain their seats on the board, and face a challenge from longtime educator Betty Davis. Davis, 63, a substitute teacher in the area and owner of a McHenry-based tutoring company, said student successes start at the elementary level. If elected, she’d like to see more training and resources for teachers. “I see these kids in the

schools that aren’t achieving,” Davis said. “They are not reaching their potential. I’m passionate about education, and I want to make everyone successful. Some kids are not, and it’s lowering the standards of our schools and community.” Santopadre, 46, has served on the board for one four-year term. He is an elementary school teacher in Lake County and part-time firefighter in

McHenry. He characterized the district’s financial health as “good to very good.” “We’re not in a financial situation where we’re deficit spending,” he said. “We’re levying and collecting what we need to maintain the programs that we currently have. We’re not trying to work beyond our means or what the community can support. … We spend very wisely, and provide an excellent education for kids.” O’Neill discussed financial realities in a candidate questionnaire he provided to the Northwest Herald’s Election Central page. He said he would vote against increasing the tax levy. O’Neill didn’t immediately respond to a phone call.

“Typically, each December the board will vote on the upcoming tax levy and typically I will vote against it,” he wrote in the questionnaire. “The Tax Cap Law (PTELL) is one of those laws which sound great but, after scratching the surface, seem to create more problems than they fix. Taxing bodies such as school districts, public libraries, etc., are forced to engage in budgeting and accounting practices which do not make sense and would never fly in the real world.” Hettermann did not respond to emails from the Northwest Herald, and calls to the district’s administrative office went unreturned. The election is April 7.

Village contract soon to expire Lakewood weighs fire service options By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com LAKEWOOD – A longterm solution to the village of Lakewood’s fire protection services is a topic of conversation as the expiration date for the village’s agreement with the Woodstock Fire/ Rescue District approaches. Escalating costs have sent the village from option to option over the past eight years, first ending a decades-long agreement with the city of Crystal Lake to hire American Emergency Services to operate a village fire department and then contracting with the Woodstock Fire/ Rescue District in 2011. A five-year agreement with the Woodstock Fire/ Rescue District is set to expire at the end of the year. “There is a philosophical discussion happening internally about whether we should continue to have a contractual relationship with a provider for this service or run a referendum so that our fire service is provided by another unit of local government through a fire district,” village President Erin Smith said. Trustee Gene Furey sees it as an inevitability. “At some point, we have to [go to referendum],” Furey said. “With the size of the village, it’s hard to support fire protection services.” The village pays for fire protection services out of its general fund, an unusual practice in McHenry County where most areas are served by a separate fire protection district that passes its own property tax levy and has its own governing board. Maintaining a separate identity had been important to the Village Board in the past but is less of an issue now, Furey said. The Woodstock Fire/Rescue District employees that operated out of the village-owned Haligus Road station used to wear uniforms identifying them as with the Lakewood Fire Department and still use village-owned equipment. To join a fire protection district or to create its own, voters would have to pass a referendum, something that has happened in the past, Village Manager Catherine Peterson said. Voters had OK’d joining the Crystal Lake Rural Fire Protection District, but for reasons Peterson doesn’t know, the decision was never acted upon.

1,400 of them are townships. To supporters, townships provide the necessary services of property assessment, road maintenance and general assistance for families in need, and are the most direct and responsive government that residents have. “The value of the services that townships provide surpasses any proposal to reduce or eliminate them,” said Jerry Crabtree, assistant director of Township Officials of Illinois. “Besides our three mandated [functions], if you eliminated townships in the northern part of the state, you eliminate some valuable services – senior transportation, food banks, youth programs – and these communities would suffer because those services would go away.” Opponents of township

government in Illinois call it a nepotism-rife anachronism that has since come up with redundant or unneeded services to justify its continued existence. They argue township functions could easily be absorbed by county and municipal governments. State law provides a mechanism for voters to consolidate townships if they so choose. A county board can adopt a consolidation plan to put to voters, as long as no township’s territory exceeds 126 square miles, which would be about one-fifth of McHenry County. The voters in each proposed new township would have to approve their consolidation by referendum – townships would consolidate where the referendums pass, and would stay separate where they fail. Successful consolidations would take effect after the next township election, which would be 2017, assuming the County Board

FRANCES B. SUGDEN Born: June 8, 1923; in Peoria, IL Died: March 26, 2015; in Woodstock, IL Frances B. Sugden, of Woodstock, Illinois, formerly of Wilmette and Winnetka, died on Thursday, March 26, 2015, in Woodstock. She was born Ida Frances Bourland on June 8, 1923, in Peoria to Frederick Bailey and Rachel (Mitchel) Bourland. During her high school years, the family moved to Wilmette. She attended New Trier High School, followed by Northwestern University where she earned her undergraduate degree in speech science. She followed with Master’s Degrees in Speech Science and Deaf Education, as well as a Fellowship for a Master’s Degree in Audiology. In 1946, she began teaching Special Education at Evanston High School where she met Henry H. Sugden II. They were married in Peoria in June 12, 1948. He preceded her in death on September 29, 1972. After the birth of her three children, she resumed teaching Special Edu-

puts the consolidation measures on the March 2016 ballot. Abolishing a county’s townships under Illinois law requires the more extreme step of voters eliminating the county board form of government and putting power in the hands of three elected county commissioners. The 17 Illinois counties under that model are all downstate, sparsely populated and almost entirely agricultural. But after years of fighting and resistance from township lobbying groups, momentum has been building in Springfield to create mechanisms to allow particular townships to disband themselves. A bill crafted specifically for Evanston Township – which shared identical boundaries with the city of Evanston – allowed its residents last year to abolish it. It was the first time since 1932 that an Illinois township was elimi-

nated. A bill awaiting a vote in the Illinois House would allow Belleville Township, which shares its borders with its namesake city and offers few services, to be eliminated with a majority vote of the township and city council. Shorten said he expects resistance from a number of township officials, but also expects a few to be receptive to consolidation. Grafton Township Supervisor James Kearns won’t be among them – while he said he supports the idea of township governments consolidating some services, he opposes consolidating townships altogether. “There is duplication of government services that are provided. I think we need to focus on that first,” Kearns said. But Shorten said that time, and momentum, is on his side. The group has started to reach out to members of the all-Republican County Board

in hopes of securing the 13 needed votes to advance a consolidation plan to voters. Among the group’s listed supporters is State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi, who holds significant sway over the county GOP – Shorten himself is chairman of the Nunda Township Republican Central Committee. Rauner made trimming government bureaucracy and consolidating functions a core part of his campaign, citing the significant property tax burden Illinois residents face. A consolidation task force he created by executive order met for the first time last week. “I think the timing is just right,” Shorten said. “People are tired of the way things are, and there’s a mood afoot to make some changes. It’s going to be difficult. We understand that. But the alternative is to do nothing, and we see where that’s gotten us.”

Library incorporates public art into renovation project By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Students and community groups in Woodstock will soon have the chance to leave their artistic imprint at the Woodstock Public Library main entrance, as part of a renovation project. The overall project, estimated at $50,000, replaces most of the concrete covering the main entrance with brick, since the concrete has deteriorated, said Library Director Nick Weber. A portion of the new en-

trance will also feature a long curving bench that will incorporate art pieces crafted by the community. The city recently received a $15,000 grant from the McHenry County Community Foundation to fund the public art project. The community initiative, Weber said, adds to the city’s rich cultural history. “For an art focused community, there isn’t a ton of public art in the community,” Weber said. “This is one way to make the front entrance more attractive and give the city more art.”

The curved bench will feature between 200 to 300 glazed tiles with different hand-painted artwork. Students from the library’s summer reading program will create most of the art for the tiles, Weber said. The library will also reach out to different community groups to contribute to the project. Construction on the overall renovation project should begin by the summer, Weber said. Along with the aesthetic improvements, the new entrance should also require less annual maintenance, Weber said.

This NUTTY DECLARATION Can Help You SAVE... Starting Today, ALL McHenry County Illinois residents are eligible to save on comprehensive Pre-season Air Conditioning Tune-up Services to ensure their systems are ready, willing and able to perform properly for the coming cooling season.

CALL NOW!

847-854-9909 You may think it a little nutty that I’ve declared April “Air Conditioning Awareness Month.” But I assure you this is a very important – and timely – cause to recognize. Here’s why I’ve taken such a bold step… Warm weather will be here before you know it. And along with it comes hay fever and allergies. That’s why it’s so important for folks to get their central air conditioning checked out, tuned up and ready to run BEFORE the weather goes from warmer to downright hot. So, in recognition of ‘Air Conditioning Awareness Month,’ 24HR Home Comfort Services - Illinois is offering an amazing discount of 50% off on pre-season readiness services for the ENTIRE MONTH of April. Here’s some of what’s covered in this comprehensive service: • • • •

Inspect, clean and adjust: blower motors, belts and thermostats. Test airﬂow and check and recharge refrigerant. Lubricate motors and clean out all drains. Make sure the entire system is working properly and is tuned to manufacturer speciﬁcations.

NOW ONLY

In my mind, cool, ﬁltered air – and the comfort it brings – is a very serious issue. This is especially true for allergy sufferers, children and older folks. That’s why it’s so important to have your central air systems checked out, tuned up and running smoothly BEFORE the temperatures heat up. It’s also why I declared April ‘Air Conditioning Awareness Month.’ (See, it’s really not such a wacky idea after all!) So call us now at (847) 854-9909 to book your appointment for a pre-season central air conditioning service – at the special discount prices – through the month of April.

Best regards, Ron Magrini,Vic� President 24HR Home Comfort Services - Illinois

Illinois is constantly creating task forces and commissions to probe important issues such as education funding and pension reform with few results. Hopefully, this commission will face less political influence and achieve its For the record goals. There also There should be agreement should be agreefrom both ends of the political ment from both spectrum that incarceration ends of the politirates in Illinois and the U.S. are cal spectrum that out of control. incarceration rates in Illinois and the U.S. are out of control. The state’s prison population jumped 700 percent over the past 40 years while crime has fallen by 20 percent over that same period of time. The U.S. is so far out of line with the rest of the civilized world when it comes to incarceration rates, one can’t really fit the gap onto a reasonable bar graph. The U.S. incarceration rate of 716 per 100,000 residents is grossly lopsided compared with 147 per 100,000 in the United Kingdom, 118 per 100,000 residents in Canada or 82 per 100,000 in the Netherlands. If those numbers don’t bother anyone, the other problem is that prisons aren’t doing much to reduce recidivism. About 50 percent of adult and juvenile inmates are sent back to prison within three years of their release. Still not moved? Then how about the $1.4 billion Illinois taxpayers spend on the Illinois Department of Corrections and detaining juveniles each year for a system that doesn’t work? That should get everyone’s attention. The 28-member commission, formed by Gov. Bruce Rauner and joined by state Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles, is tasked with examining the entire criminal justice system from start to finish, including mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent offenders and recidivism problems. We look forward to hearing the commission’s recommendations.

ANOTHER VIEW

Legislating discrimination It is a shameful fact that in the mid-19th century, religion was often used to justify slavery. Southern pastors would point to Paul’s epistle to Titus, where it says in the second chapter, “Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything.” The world evolved. Sincerely held religious beliefs in slavery had to give way to greater truths expressed throughout the Bible and other sources, too, most notably the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address. So now the Missouri Legislature is considering legalizing other forms of discrimination based on “sincerely held religious beliefs” or “moral convictions.” The bills are aimed at the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. But someone with a sincerely held religious belief against, say, black people or Muslims might be able to make a claim. Once you start allowing religion into public policy, there’s no telling where it ends. The advocacy organization PROMO has counted eight anti-LGBT bills filed in the Legislature this year. In Texas, 20 have been filed, but Texas is nobody’s idea of a beacon of enlightened public policy. Not surprisingly, given their finely honed sense of victimhood, conservatives say it’s the religious groups that are being discriminated against. Follow this logic: If they can’t discriminate against gays, they’re being discriminated against. Senate Bill 248 would prohibit state colleges and universities from enforcing anti-discrimination rules against campus organizations that reject people whose lifestyles don’t conform to their religious beliefs. Has there been an instance of an LGBT person trying to join, say, the Campus Crusade for Christ? Probably not, but you can’t be too careful. And then there’s Sen. Ed Emery’s, R-Lamar, SB 555, which would prohibit public employees such as circuit court clerks from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Sen. Mike (Manly Firmness) Moon, R-Ash Grove, is sponsoring an identical bill in the House. Rep. Jeff Pogue’s, R-Salem, HB 1337 would prohibit anyone whose job it is to “solemnize” marriages from having to perform a wedding that runs afoul of SHRBs. In Missouri, where it remains legal to fire someone or kick him off a bus for being gay, progress is still a long way off. Larger truths are out there. They just haven’t gotten all the way here yet.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Kurtz will deliver To the Editor: While local elections may not seem as exciting as national elections, they’re still very important. Municipalities, townships and school boards make decisions that directly affect our lives and our taxes. School District 155 runs four local high schools and needs qualified individuals to serve on the board. Fortunately, there is one uniquely qualified candidate, Rosemary Kurtz. I urge you to take a few minutes April 7 to vote for Kurtz. Kurtz is highly experienced at multiple levels of government, having been Crystal Lake city treasurer, a member of Crystal Lake’s Zoning Board of Appeals and a state representative. She has distinguished herself in all of these positions as a fiscal conservative working for our best interests, and she had a career as an educator for District 155. Kurtz promises education is her top priority, and she knows how to effectively and efficiently deliver on this promise. Stan Perrin Crystal Lake

Shepley’s record excellent To the Editor: We support Aaron Shepley’s candidacy for re-election as mayor of Crystal Lake. He has an excellent record as the leader of our community. We both have been pleased to have known him since he was a student in Crystal Lake School District 47. Shepley has been outstanding in developing a City Council composed of members who work together for the best interests of Crystal Lake residents but who can disagree without animosity. Crystal Lake’s motto, for years, has been “a good place to live.” Aaron’s leadership continues to make those words a reality. Rosemary and Bob Blazier Crystal Lake

Keep District 50 strong To the Editor: To my fellow Harvard District 50 residents, the district is very fortunate to have three outstanding young women serving on the board of education. Two of these women are up for election in the school board election this April. Julie Lehmann and Sharon McMillan have their fingers on the pulse of the schools and always want

what is best for all of the students of the district. Their business sense and fiscal responsibility have helped the district maintain a balanced budget, even in the face of a difficult economy. Their leadership in various community activities also proves they are willing to give of themselves for the betterment of our community. Keep our schools strong and vote for Julie Lehmann and Sharon McMillan on April 7. Richard Stoxen Harvard

Important election April 7 To the Editor: If you fail to vote April 7, don’t complain about higher school taxes. We have candidates running for positions of power in all school districts. Winners will be the ones setting the property tax rates for our schools. The Northwest Herald has provided you with information on all of the candidates and where they stand on taxing issues. Do not think your one vote won’t make a difference. In an election that the turnout has been predicted to be less than 15 percent of the registered voters, every vote will count. In addition, some of our McHenry aldermen have opposition. If you are not sure whether your alderman is on the ballot this time, check the county clerk’s website. If you live in McHenry Ward 2, your alderman, Andy Glab, always has represented his district with integrity, honesty and real concern for his constituents. He deserves to be re-elected. John Landon McHenry

Curry goes extra mile To the Editor: I have known Scott Curry for over 25 years. I know him to be willing to go the extra mile to help people and to get a job done. Curry is a faithful family man who is willing to help when needed and is true to his friends. He has an extensive management background. He is not afraid to state his views and supports them with sound reasoning. Curry has been active in presenting logical ideas to the McHenry City Council to change the way budgeting and other matters are approached. Vote for change; please vote for Curry for Ward 4 alderman for McHenry City Council. Jim Peters McHenry

HOW TO SOUND OFF We welcome original letters on public issues. Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers. We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days. All letters are subject to editing

Connected to community To the Editor: On April 7, the village of Spring Grove will be electing three trustees. As a 20-plus year resident and past Richmond/Spring Grove Chamber of Commerce president, I fully endorse Randy Vinyard, Ron Kopke and Jim Anhalt. These candidates are truly connected to our community. With Randy being a resident of 12 years, Jim 15 and Ron 19, these candidates are long-term homeowners who are familiar with the current economic needs and structure of our village. I ask residents to vote wisely April 7. It is easy to build a platform that says “no taxes.” However, what does that mean exactly? These individuals will bring experience, integrity and commitment. I believe their combined knowledge will create the perfect balance. These candidates will continue to keep the best interests of the village of Spring Grove as their utmost priority. Heather Spyra Spring Grove

Make your voices be heard To the Editor: District 155 taxpayers, take the time to vote April 7 and let your voices be heard. Tired of tax levies that just keep going up? Are you frustrated with the lack of communication and transparency with the current board? Rosemary Kurtz, Adam Guss and Amy Blazier will make them accountable. They won’t rubber-stamp spending that is not well-planned, thoroughly examined and necessary. Kurtz, Guss and Blazier all have generations of families and deep roots in the community. They have attended and/or have close ties to high schools in our district. They care about our children and want the best education for them. Kurtz, Guss and Blazier believe taxpayers deserve representation on a school board that is fiscally responsible, not wasteful. We need them on the District 155

for length and clarity at the sole discretion of the editor. Submit letters by: • Email: letters@nwherald.com • Mail: Northwest Herald “It’s Your Write” Box 250 Crystal Lake, IL 60039-0250

School Board, and they need your vote. Vote for Kurtz, Guss and Blazier on April 7. Eileen R Schwake Crystal Lake

McHenry can’t lose Glab To the Editor: My husband and I are residents of Whispering Oaks in McHenry. We are seniors and are truly grateful having Andy Glab as our alderman in Ward 2. Glab has been and is a wonderful advocate for the people and for the community. He is a strong voice that we sorely need and is not afraid to say “no” if it is not best in decision-making. Please re-elect Glab on April 7 for McHenry alderman in Ward 2. The residents in McHenry cannot afford to lose him. Cynthia A. Block McHenry

Special place to live To the Editor: We first met Aaron Shepley at a meeting in 1995. We had read his name in the paper repeatedly concerning extending Walkup Avenue to Route 14. We were surprised he was so young, energetic and accomplished. He was elected as a councilman and then became our mayor. His allegiance to Crystal Lake started years ago as a student in districts 47 and 155. The city is recovering nicely from the recession, with businesses opening and expanding. Downtown is a model with its attractive street scape. The parks, schools, library and Three Oaks Recreation Area are amenities that make Crystal Lake a special place. Our daughter lived in California for 10 years, was married and had a daughter. She and her family moved to Crystal Lake three years ago. She said, “I want Mary to grow up where I grew up.” We are so pleased. Candy and Bob Reedy Crystal Lake

STATE WEDNESDAY

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Employment Security says unemployment fell in every Illinois metro area in February. It was the 12th straight month of across-theboard improvement. The department said Tuesday in its monthly report on the state’s metro areas that while nine of the 14 tracked areas added jobs in February, the Peoria, Bloomington, Carbondale-Marion and Quad Cities areas all lost jobs. However, the Bloomington area still posted the lowest unemployment rate in the state last month at 5 percent. The highest was the 7.3 percent rate in the Decatur area. Chicago-area unemployment fell to 6.6 percent in February from 8.8 percent a year earlier. The department reported earlier this month that February unemployment across the state fell to 6.1 percent while the national jobless rate was at 5.5 percent.

WASHINGTON – Some of Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock’s current and previous employees will appear before a federal grand jury next month to answer questions about their old boss. When they do, they’ll likely face a prosecutor with a tough, meticulous reputation.

creation of the Illinois Central District’s Public Corruption Task Force formed in 2007. “If I were sitting where Mr. Schock is, I would not want this gentleman on the other side,” said Noll, who’s not representing Schock. Since 2013, Bass’ task force has resulted in the convictions of 13 people related to $16 million in grant and contract-fraud schemes, his office said. Bass, who declined an interview, is known for being incredibly prepared, said another defense attorney who has gone up against him.

That makes it difficult to understand how prosecutors may be building a criminal case against the congressman, what evidence they’re compiling and whether anyone else in his sphere might be in trouble. “Tim Bass will be very deliberate, very meticulous and very focused,” defense attorney Jon Gray Noll said of the 51-year-old assistant U.S. attorney in Springfield, Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD – A war hero congresswoman appeared publicly Tuesday for the first time as a U.S. Senate hopeful, taking jabs at the Republican incumbent, offering stern advice for the Democrats’ top presidential contender and defending her work under now-imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth, elected to a second House term last fall, criticized what she said were U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk’s votes to cut Medicare and support for

Tuesday he’ll run for the seat. A member of the House committee investigating the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, Duckworth would not comment specifically on whether Hillary Rodham Clinton acted criminally in deleting 30,000 emails – which Clinton described as personal – from her tenure as secretary of state. Duckworth said the State Department should publicly release the Clinton emails it holds and that Clinton, the Democrats’ 2016 front-runner, “needs to” testify before the Benghazi committee.

Campaign manager Kevin Artl was ready with a retort to Duckworth’s critique, contending she supported nearly $750 million in cuts to Medicare and was forced to pay back taxes after claiming homestead exemptions on two properties. “Tammy Duckworth is already proving you can’t trust anything she says,” Artl said in an email. Duckworth’s decision prompted Illinois deputy treasurer Raja Krishnamoorthi, whom Duckworth defeated in the 2012 Democratic congressional primary, to announce

CLEARLAKE – Voters in a tiny Sangamon County village will soon decide whether the village should cease to exist. The State Journal-Register reported a measure that asks whether Clearlake should be dissolved is on the April 7 ballot. The village of about 250 people is about 5 miles east of Springfield. Clearlake officials said the community can no longer sustain itself because of resources declining in the past decade. Village Trustee Tracy Dorrough said it’s not clear what would happen to the village if voters decide to get rid of its government.

PEORIA – The insurance firm RLI Corp. has announced a $15 million addition to its headquarters in Peoria. The Journal Star reported RLI chairman and CEO Jonathan Michael made the announcement on Monday. He called it the “next phase of renovation” after the company completed a $20 million face lift in 2013. The latest construction will include a new building and reroute a roadway. Work is scheduled to be finished in 2016. RLI Corp. recently marked its 50th anniversary. The insurance firm earned $189 million last year.

Madigan made the announcement Tuesday in Chicago with Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez and St. Clair County State’s Attorney Brendan Kelly. The Belleville News-DemoLisa Madigan crat reported that Madigan said the “system is broken.” Her office cited studies that show between 5 and 20 percent of all rapes are reported. The group will include Illinois law enforcement, criminal justice and health care agencies. The goal, officials said, is to identify what is discouraging sexual assault victims from reporting the crimes and improve the response to sexual assault cases that are reported. That includes increasing the number of sexual assault nurse examiners statewide.

Ind. governor wants changes to law Lawmakers to clarify religious-freedom law; Dems say it’s not enough By TOM DAVIES and ANDREW DeMILLO The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Gov. Mike Pence asked lawmakers Tuesday to send him a clarification of the state’s new religious-freedom law later this week, while Arkansas legislators passed a similar measure, despite criticism that it is a thinly disguised attempt to permit discrimination against gays. The ArkanMike Pence sas proposal now goes to Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who has said he will sign it. Pence defended the Indiana law as a vehicle to protect religious liberty but said he has been meeting with lawmakers “around the clock” to address

concerns that it would allow businesses to deny services to gay customers. The governor said he does not believe “for a minute” that lawmakers intended “to create a license to discriminate.” “It certainly wasn’t my intent,” said Pence, who signed the law last week. But, he said, he “can appreciate that that’s become the perception, not just here in Indiana but all across the country. We need to confront that.” The Indiana law prohibits any laws that “substantially burden” a person’s ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. The definition of “person” includes religious institutions, businesses and associations. Although the legal language does not specifically mention gays and lesbians, critics say the law is designed to shield businesses and individuals who do not want to serve gays

and lesbians, such as florists or caterers who might be hired for a same-sex wedding. In Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Indiana officials appeared to be in “damage-control mode” following the uproar over the law. Earnest also took issue with Pence’s claim that Indiana’s law was rooted in a 1993 federal law. He said the Indiana measure marked a “significant expansion” over that law because it applies to private transactions beyond those involving the federal government. The federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act arose from a case related to the use of peyote in a Native American ritual. But in 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal law did not apply to the states. So states began enacting their own laws. Twenty now have them on the books.

Businesses and organizations including Apple and the NCAA have voiced concern over Indiana’s law, and some states have barred government-funded travel to the state. Democratic legislative leaders said a clarification would not be enough. “To say anything less than a repeal is going to fix it is incorrect,” House Minority Leader Scott Pelath said. Republican Senate President Pro Tem David Long said lawmakers were negotiating a clarification proposal that he hoped would be ready for public release on Wednesday, followed by a vote Thursday before sending the package to the governor. “We have a sense that we need to move quickly out here and be pretty nimble,” Long said. “But right now, we don’t have consensus on the language.”

Big rigs often go faster than tires can handle By TOM KRISHER The Associated Press DETROIT – Many tractor-trailers on the nation’s roads are driven faster than the 75 mph their tires are designed to handle, a practice that has been linked to wrecks and blowouts but has largely escaped the attention of highway officials. Nearly all truck tires have been built for a maximum sustained speed of 75 mph since the middle of last decade, when drivers across the vast majority of the U.S. were allowed to go no faster than 65 or 70 mph. But 14 states, mainly west of the Mississippi River, now have speed limits of 75, 80, even 85 mph in part of Texas. Some of those states acted without consulting the tire industry. Safety advocates and tire experts say that habitually driving faster than a tire’s rated speed can generate excessive

heat that damages the rubber, with potentially catastrophic results. “It’s a recipe for disaster,” said James Perham, president of Extreme Transportation Corp., an automobile-hauling company near San Diego that filed a complaint with regulators about Michelin tires after seven blowouts caused an estimated $20,000 to $30,000 in damage to its rigs. The disconnect between highway speed limits and safety standards was discovered by The Associated Press in a government document that detailed an investigation into truck tire failures. Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration closed the investigation into blowouts involving certain Michelin tires after determining that truck operators, not the tires, were at fault. An investigator wrote that exceed-

ing the 75 mph rating was the most likely cause in all 16 complaints examined. The blowouts resulted in three crashes but no injuries. State officials and the tire and trucking industries point the finger at each other for causing the problem. Highway officials in three states that allow trucks to go 80 mph or more either disregarded tire safety ratings, wouldn’t answer questions about them or told the AP they were unaware of them. From 2009 through 2013, there were just over 14,000 fatal crashes in the U.S. involving heavy trucks and buses, killing almost 16,000 people, according to NHTSA. Tires were a factor in 198 of those crashes and 223 deaths. Forty people died in truck tire-related crashes in 2009, and that rose to 52 in 2013, the latest year for which statistics are available. It’s hard to pinpoint the

cause of most blowouts. Road debris can be a factor. Underinflation, heavy loads and high speeds can also damage tires over time. States set their own speed limits, having been given sole authority to do so by Congress in the mid-1990s, while the federal government, through NHTSA, has authority to raise tire standards. For now, NHTSA contends the most effective way to attack the problem is a regulation to require devices that would prevent trucks from going over 75 mph. But the proposed measure has been stalled for years in a morass of cost analyses and government reviews. Another possible solution would be for manufacturers to make tires that can handle higher speeds. Some companies already produce a small number safety-rated at 81 mph that cost about the same as those built for 75 mph.

Loan recipients on ‘strike’ meet with federal officials By KIMBERLY HEFLING The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Pamela Hunt is so overwhelmed by her $56,000 in student loans for what she considers a worthless criminal justice master’s degree that she’s joined others on a “debt strike” and refusing to pay back the money. On Tuesday, she walked out of a meeting with officials from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Education Department she and other former students from for-profit colleges attended on behalf of the “Corinthian 100” feeling cautiously optimistic about the burden being eased. “I think it can go either way,” said Hunt, 55, who works in home health care in Ledyard, Connecticut. She obtained her degree online through Everest College. The group’s name comes from troubled Corinthian Colleges Inc., which operated Everest College, Heald College and WyoTech before agreeing last summer to sell or close its 100-plus campuses. About 100 current and former students

are refusing to pay back their loans, according to the Debt Collective group behind the strike. The former students argue that the department should have done a better job regulating the schools and informing students that they were under investigation. “I know they heard us but I don’t know if they actually understand the significance of what a lot of us are going through,” Hunt said. The former Corinthian students potentially face financial problems such as poor credit ratings and greater debt because of interest accrued. Already, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has asked the courts to grant relief to Corinthian students who collectively have taken out more than $500 million in private student loans. Officials from the bureau agreed to the meeting Tuesday that included Ted Mitchell, the Education Department’s undersecretary. The Education Department is the former students’ main target because they want the department to discharge their loans. Family Ow ned Since 19 96

No nuke deal yet; Iran talks push past deadline The ASSOCIATED PRESS LAUSANNE, Switzerland – With stubborn disputes unresolved, nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers went past a self-imposed deadline and into overtime as negotiators renewed efforts to hammer out the outline of an agreement. Enough progress had been made to warrant the extension past midnight Tuesday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said, although there still were “several difficult issues” to bridge. Secretary of State John Kerry, who had planned to

leave the talks Tuesday, was remaining. And an Iranian negotiator said his team could stay “as long as necessary” to clear the remaining hurdles. The decision came after six days of marathon efforts to reach a preliminary understanding by midnight Tuesday, drawing in foreign ministers from all seven nations at the table – Iran, the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. After more than a decade of diplomatic efforts to limit Tehran’s nuclear advances, the present talks already had been extended twice, demonstrating the difficulties of reaching

an agreement that meets the demands of both sides. The U.S. and its negotiating partners demand curbs on Iranian nuclear activities that could be used to make weapons, and they say any deal must extend the time Tehran would John Kerry need to produce a weapon from the present several months to at least a year. The Iranians deny military intentions, but they are negotiating with the aim a deal will end economic sanctions.

In a sign of the confusion surrounding the end of the talks, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed there was agreement on all sides. That statement was quickly contradicted by a Western diplomat. Late Tuesday, Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said, “For the majority of issues, solutions have been completely found.” He said drafting of an agreement should begin Wednesday. In Washington, White House press secretary Josh Earnest suggested that talks meant to produce an outline that would allow the sides to

continue negotiations until the June 30 final deadline had not bridged all gaps. He said the sides were working to produce a text with few specifics, accompanied by documents outlining areas where further talks were needed. “If we are making progress toward the finish line, then we should keep going,” Earnest said. President Barack Obama held a video conference Tuesday night with Kerry and other members of his national security team, including Vice President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Ash Carter. Officials had hoped to wrap up the talks by Tuesday night

with that joint general statement agreeing to start a new phase of negotiations to curb Iran’s nuclear program. That statement would be accompanied by more detailed documents that would include technical information on understandings of steps required on all sides to resolve outstanding concerns. Those documents would allow the sides to claim that the new phase of talks would not simply be a continuation of negotiations that have already been twice extended since an interim agreement between Iran and the so-called P5+1 nations was concluded in November 2013.

Iraqi security forces and allied Shiite militiamen prepare to attack Islamic State extremists Tuesday in Tikrit, Iraq.

Iraq: Troops in center of Islamic State-held Tikrit The ASSOCIATED PRESS TIKRIT, Iraq – Iraqi forces battled Islamic State militants holed up in downtown Tikrit, going house to house Tuesday in search of snipers and booby traps, and the prime minister said security forces had reached the heart of the city. In a statement on Twitter, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the “liberation of Tikrit” and congratulated Iraqi security forces on their “historic milestone.” But an official statement from his office said the troops “hoisted the Iraqi flag” over the Salahuddin provincial headquarters in Tikrit and are moving to control the entire city. Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi, the commander of the Salahud-

din operation, said his forces fighting from the west were still 325 yards from the center of Tikrit. Extremists from the Islamic State group seized Saddam Hussein’s hometown last summer during its lightning advance across northern and western Iraq. The battle for Tikrit is seen as a key step toward eventually driving the militants out of Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city that is farther north. Street-by-street fighting raged into the afternoon, and estimates differed widely on how much of this strategic city on the banks of the Tigris River that Iraqi forces held. Army Lt. Gen. Talib Shaghati said at least 75 percent of Tikrit had been recaptured.

Ammar Hikmat, deputy governor of Salahuddin province, said more than 40 percent was under Iraqi control. “Our security forces are now pushing forward toward the presidential complex and have already entered parts of it,” Hikmat said. “I think the whole city will be retaken within the coming 24 hours.” An Associated Press reporter embedded with Iraqi security forces saw soldiers surround the iconic presidential palace, and they also surrounded the provincial government headquarters. Soldiers worked to detonate bombs remotely, while federal police went house to house looking to arrest militants or identify booby traps that may slow the offensive.

FRANKFURT, Germany – Lufthansa knew that the co-pilot of the passenger plane that crashed in the French Alps last week had suffered from an episode of “severe depression” before he finished his flight training with the German airline. The airline said Tuesday it has found emails that Andreas Lubitz sent to the Lufthansa flight school in 2009 when he resumed his training in Bremen after an interruption of several months. In them, he informed the school that he had suffered a “previous episode of severe depression,” which had since subsided. The airline said Lubitz subsequently passed all medical checks and that it has provided the documents to prosecutors. It declined to make any further comment. French authorities say voice recordings indicate Lu-

bitz, 27, locked the other pilot out of the cockpit and deliberately crashed the Airbus A320 in the French Alps on March 24. All 150 people aboard Flight 9525 from Barcelona to Duesseldorf died. The disclosure that Lubitz told the airline he had suffered from depression before he was hired in September 2013 at Lufthansa’s budget Germanwings is another blow to the company’s reputation. Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr had said Lubitz passed all tests and had been pronounced fit to fly. The revelation adds to questions about how much Lufthansa and its insurers will pay in damages for the passengers who died. It also underlines questions about how thoroughly the aviation industry and government regulators screen pilots for psychological problems. German prosecutors say Lubitz received psychotherapy before obtaining his pilot’s

license and that medical records from that time referred to “suicidal tendencies.” They have given no dates for his treatment, but said visits to doctors since then showed no record of any suicidal tendencies or aggression against others. They also have found tornup sick notes from doctors, including one that would have kept Lubitz off work on the day of the crash. The latest disclosure “really does suggest a potential problem with the airline’s oversight of this aviator,” says Alan E. Diehl, a former air safety investigator with the NTSB and a former scientist for human performance at the Federal Aviation Administration. Diehl says the global shortage of pilots might be leading to lax hiring standards. Every week, there are nearly 30 new jets rolling off assembly lines. Each one requires airlines to hire and train at least 10 to 12 new pilots.

Rivals in a stalemate Rockets unable to exact revenge on Skyhawks By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com

RICHMOND – The Richmond-Burton girls soccer team has not forgotten how its season ended last year. Tuesday marked the first time that the Rockets took on rival Johnsburg after falling to the Skyhawks in last year’s Class 1A Harvard Regional championship. After falling behind early in the first half, Richmond-Burton battled back, scoring a second-half goal to earn a 1-1 draw with the Skyhawks in overtime of Big Northern Conference East Division play. After Delaney Pruitt gave Johnsburg (1-0-1, 0-0-1 BNC East) the early lead on a cross from Maddie Hauck, the Rockets wanted to make sure in wasn’t another loss to the rival Skyhawks. “I don’t think we were playing our game for much of the first half,” R-B senior Lauren Otto said. “I think our halftime

CRYSTAL LAKE – Through the first 40 minutes Tuesday, Crystal Lake South and Prairie Ridge combined for more near-misses and thumping collisions than shots on goal. Just after the break, less than two minutes into the second half, it was a hustle play that ended up breaking the scoreless stalemate. CLS midfielder Jessica Schoenfeldt raced a defender to the end line for a ball slowly rolling out of play to the right of the Prairie Ridge goal. Schoenfeldt got to the ball and cut it back into the six-yard box where Katherine Siavelis powered it into the top right corner of the net. “It’s looked like it could’ve gone out, but I know Jess and I knew she was going to try to get it across to me,” Siavelis said. “And right as she did, I knew I had to place it and get a goal.”

Gates will open early – at 4:35 p.m. – for a pregame concert by Fall Out Boy. Additionally, Green said, Major League Baseball has not intervened in the project. The league has “been supportive since the project got underway.” Green also dismissed rumors that the Cubs ever considered playing at U.S. Cellular Field.

q THE BIG PLAY

Conant preserved the shutout on a back-handed flip at second base to end the game, denying Trojans pinch-hitter Caitlin Adams of a run-scoring hit in a 4-0 loss for the Trojans.

akantecki@shawmedia.com CARY – Back-to-back singles from Cary-Grove’s Brianne Prank and Grace Pilz with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning gave the Trojans their first real threat against Conant pitcher Sara Neuman. Neuman, who wasn’t even sure whether she would start after battling pneumonia, kept C-G’s bats quiet until the final inning, allowing only two hits in the first six innings. After a force at third base for the second out, C-G pinch-hitter Caitlin Moran’s attempt to give the Trojans extra life was denied on a back-handed flip at second base in a 4-0 nonconference softball loss to the Cougars on Tuesday. “Obviously, not enough,” Trojans coach Tammy Olson said of her team’s four hits. “[Neuman] pitched well. She had enough movement on the ball and did a nice job against us. We had something there late, but it just wasn’t enough.”

Neuman finished with the complete-game shutout for the Cougars (30), allowing four hits, walking one and striking out six. Cary-Grove (0-2) returns six starters this season, including four seniors in Pilz, Amanda DeGroote, Caitlyn Adams and Sarah Purpura, but most of the team is on the young side with three sophomores starting Tuesday against Conant. Sophomore right fielder Colleen Kaveney got the first hit off Neuman with one out in the fourth, sending a single into right field. After stealing second, she advanced to third on a fielder’s choice but was stranded there to end the inning. No other Trojans runner reached second base until the seventh. “[Neuman] was a good pitcher, throwing quality strikes and brought some good speed to the plate,” Kaveney said. “I feel like we’re still starting to open up and work together as a team.” The Trojans infield is young, too,

with sophomores Alyssa Gurgone and Kristi Isola playing at shortstop and second base, respectively. A pair of infield errors in the sixth led to two unearned runs. Diana Durr (2 for 4), who drove in all four runs for Conant, capitalized on C-G’s mistakes with a two-run triple to deep right field. DeGroote was charged with the loss, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out two in four innings. Adams relieved DeGroote and pitched the final three, allowing two unearned runs on three hits. DeGroote’s only real trouble came in the third inning, when Conant started with three straight singles. She almost escaped the jam after a strikeout and tag play at home, but Durr served a tworun single into left field with two outs to give the Cougars a 2-0 lead. “Grace (Pilz) did a great job of calling and mixing it up, but occasionally they’re such good hitters and they’re going to get one or two,” DeGroote said. “It happens, they’re a good team.”

NORTHWEST HERALD

1. Marengo (2-0): The Indians beat Belvidere and Oak Forest to start the season but haven’t played since March 21 because of spotty spring weather. 2. McHenry (3-0): The Warriors came back and defeated Crystal Lake Central, 7-6, in eight innings Monday and have one of the area’s deepest lineups. 3. Hampshire (3-3): The Whip-Purs ended a two-game losing skid against Elgin as Haley Widmayer and Jasmine Lopez combined on a five-inning no hitter. 4. Crystal Lake Central (2-1): The Tigers lost to McHenry on Monday but Central remains a top contender in the FVC Fox. 5. Johnsburg (3-1): The Skyhawks erupted for 19 runs on 16 hits Monday in a 19-2 win over Woodstock. NOTEWORTHY Skyhawks’ offense clicking: It’s still early, but Johnsburg has excelled on offense so far, scoring 44 runs in three games on 30 hits. On Monday, the Skyhawks used a nine-run fifth inning to put away the Blue Streaks, 19-2, in five innings. Johnsburg, which finished 5-24 last season, already has three victories, scoring double-digit runs and collecting double-digit hits in all three games. The Skyhawks return only two seniors in Maddie Morgan and Carly Wilson, but much of the team has returned for firstyear coach Ted Juske, who is looking to “change the culture and attitude of Johnsburg softball.” Sophomore Morgan Post, who picked up a win Monday, had two home runs and five RBIs in Johnsburg’s second win of the season against Round Lake. This year, the Skyhawks are back in the Big Northern Conference East Division after placing fifth in the FVC Fox. Johnsburg could be a team to watch. Strong start: Crystal Lake Central’s Megan Mahaffy was charged with the loss Monday in the Tigers’ 7-6 defeat to McHenry, but the senior pitcher was in command most of the game and finished with 14 strikeouts in eight innings. Mahaffy (1-1), who missed time a year ago with ACL surgery, also pitched in Central’s season-opening win against Richmond-Burton, striking out 11 in a complete-game effort. Three of the seven runs charged to Mahaffy against McHenry were unearned as the Tigers’ defense had four errors in the final three innings. Still, Central coach Brian Strombom isn’t surprised by his senior pitcher’s early season success. “She’s extremely dominant in a lot of different area,” Strombom said Monday. “That’s not an easy lineup to navigate and she battled through all of them – making it hard on them to get great swings like we’ve always come to expect from her.” THIS WEEK’S TOP GAMES Burlington Central at Johnsburg 4:30 p.m. Thursday The Skyhawks face their toughest test of the season.

SOFTBALL: GENOA-KINGSTON 10, JOHNSBURG 1

Skyhawks take 1st loss By JOHN BUTKUS sports@nwherald.com GENOA – The Genoa-Kingston softball team continued its early season success behind a strong outing from pitcher Baylie Ullmark. Ullmark allowed only five hits and struck out 14 in Genoa-Kingston’s 10-1 Big Northern Conference East win Tuesday over Johnsburg. The Skyhawks suffered their first loss of the season after starting 3-0 under first-year coach Ted Juske. Johnsburg (3-1) struggled to get things going. Juske would like to see some changes made for their next opponent. “We’re a young team and it’s a learning process,” Juske said. “The more practice we have and the more game situations we see, the better off we’re going to get. I’d like to see us do a better job of communicating with one another and play better defensively and the bats will come.” Offensively, the game started

slow for both sides – Johnsburg had one hit through the first 2½ innings and G-K didn’t get its first hit until the fourth inning, but that’s when the Cogs found their offensive spark. Five G-K batters reached base in the bottom of the fourth inning, producing three runs. In the next inning, the Cogs (3-0, 1-0) really opened things up scoring four runs on four hit – one of them a leadoff home run by catcher Kendyl Strack. G-K coach Mike Lauer was pleased with how his team looked offensively. “I thought Baylie did an extremely good job keeping us in the game early while our bats were struggling for a while, but once they got going I was really pleased with the way they hit the ball hard at pitches that were over the plate,” Lauer said. The Cogs will look to continue their successful start when they host Woodstock North (1-3) on Wednesday while the Skyhawks will host Burlington Central (0-2) on Thursday.

Judson was 2 for 3 with a double, a run and two RBIs to lead the Giants (5-2) to a nonconference victory. Matt Winters (1-0) pitched five innings, allowing two hits, one unearned run and striking out two. Justin Steele had two RBIs and Marshall Glenn was 2 for 3 with a double and an RBI for A-H.

PR’s late push comes up empty • GATORS-WOLVES Continued from page C1 The 42nd-minute goal ended up being the game-winner as the Gators girls soccer team held on for a 1-0 Fox Valley Conference crossover home victory over the Wolves. “Jess Schoenfeldt, she just didn’t quit,” Gators coach Jay Mueller said. “She kept playing, it could have gone out, a lot of people might have watched and just waited for it to roll out and go back for a goal kick or something, but she kept playing, she hustled and she put it out in front of the goal. And that’s going to be one of the easier finishes Katherine ever has, but we’ll take it.” After taking the lead, the hosts looked more composed and held on to the ball better than they had in the first 40 minutes. “I think we finally started making some easier passes and connecting the ball to feet, maintaining possession a little bit better, Mueller said. “There was a lot of kicking the ball in the first half and just hoping. You could tell this game it was early in the season and two teams that hav-

en’t quite put themselves together yet.” Prairie Ridge coach J.C. Brown said he was pleased with the way his team played and the number of chances it created, even if it couldn’t finish. He called fitness a “difference-maker” in the second half. “We possessed really well, we had some good combinations, good looks, but it just caught up to us in the end,” Brown said. “I think we died out, started playing long balls in because we were tired and didn’t want to play to feet, didn’t want to move off the ball. But, yeah, we’re progressing how we should; we’ve got a lot of season left. It’s a bummer today, not the result we wanted but we’ll move on and progress.” The Wolves (0-4) pushed forward to try to find a tying goal late and came close on back-to-back corner kicks in the final three minutes, but couldn’t get a shot on frame. CLS goalkeeper Jaclyn Przybylski made two saves in keeping the Gators’ second shutout of the season. The Gators (2-1-1) have won two straight. “We’re really learning how to connect as a team,” Siavelis said.

SPORTS 3

BULLS

Ending funk 1-man job Rose takes another Versteeg has to adjust his game with Kane absent By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com Kris Versteeg likes playing with Patrick Kane. Well, yeah, OK, everyone likes playing with Patrick Kane. But Versteeg, in particular, thrives when on a line with Kane. The two just see the game in the same way. They like to carry the puck into the offensive zone with speed rather than dump and chase. They like to hold on to the puck a second or two longer than maybe they should, looking for the perfect play. They like to take risks and look for backdoor passes and highlight-reel goals. And their natural creativity brings out the best in each other, as their remarkable run together in November and December showed.

“Obviously, me and Kane had a good thing going on,” Versteeg said. “And since I haven’t played with him in a while, it hasn’t been going my way.” Nobody has played with Kane in a while, and without him in the lineup, the Blackhawks have streamlined their attack – it’s more straight-line movement, more direct plays up the ice, more dump-andchase. And although many of his teammates have embraced the dulleddown style of play, Kris Versteeg Versteeg still is struggling with it. He has no goals and two assists in the 14 games since Kane’s injury Feb. 24. He’s playing on the top line, but his style hasn’t meshed well with the more straightahead games of Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa. The dump-and-chase just isn’t in his nature. “It’s a little different, it definitely is,” Versteeg said. “It’s a game that’s a lot more about

speed and straight-ahead. It’s a different game. I always want to carry it in and be a threat. But when you’ve got to dump it in and find ways that way, hopefully you can get it done.” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville hasn’t been thrilled with Versteeg’s play lately, and said the Hawks are working to get the “delay” out of his game. Ideally, Versteeg plays to his own strengths when the opportunity arises, but doesn’t force it. When in doubt, keep it simple. “There are some ingredients to his game that can complement a straight-ahead [style] and quickness and all that,” Quenneville said. “But at the same time, there are still some ways he can do his thing that can enhance our game.” Versteeg, who returned from a broken hand Feb. 11, is one of many Hawks who spent February and March mired in goal droughts. But while Patrick Sharp, Andrew Shaw and Brad Richards have been coming around, he still is slumping.

Rockets’ Ross ties score in 2nd half • SKYHAWKS-ROCKETS Continued from page C1 talk helped a lot and it really came down to who wanted it more. We were happy to get a goal to get back in the game.” That goal came when a R-B clearance found the feet of Anna Blaney. The sophomore defender, who played much more of an attacking role in the second half, played a through ball to lead Gabby Ross in alone on Johnsburg goalkeeper Megan Jurek. Ross’ shot beat the freshman goalkeeper to tie the score with just more than 14 minutes to play. The Rockets (0-2-2, 0-1-2) were much more aggressive in the second half, something coach Casey DeCaluwe stressed that needed to

happen at halftime. “I think we came out in the second half and kind of put the rivalry behind us,” DeCaluwe said. “We played much more of our style and settled in. We created some good chances in the second and I wish we could have put another one in, but it’s a result, and we have to move forward from here.” Just before Ross equalized for the Rockets, R-B captain Halley Havlicek hit the crossbar with a penalty kick after a Johnsburg hand ball in the box. Johnsburg coach Rob Eastland expressed his frustration after the game, as Tuesday marked the second time in three games this year that the Skyhawks have failed to hold a second-half lead. “It’s tough to go up against a rival

early in the season,” Eastland said. “I think the result is fair, but I also think we underperformed. We need to work harder to develop a rhythm, but I think the reverse fixture will be a much better indication of where we are going to go as a team this season.” Both Otto and Johnsburg senior defender Kortnee Haas were two anchors of their respective defenses. With the rivalry in full force Tuesday afternoon, it was visible with several players limping just how much this game meant to each and every player. “It was definitely a tough game to play in,” Haas said. “But I think the most important thing we take away is a reality check. We know we need to be better and hopefully we will work hard to get better results moving forward.”

step in comeback Guard trying to get back into game shape as quickly as possible By BRIAN SANDALOW For the Chicago Sun-Times

CHICAGO – It’s good to have Derrick Rose back in practice. Yes, that’s an obvious and maybe unnecessary statement, but there’s merit in repeating it. For the Bulls, seeing Rose go through a five-on-five scrimmage Tuesday means he’s another step closer to coming back – whenever that actually happens. It also is a boost to the team’s morale as it tries to slog through the rest of the season and rise as high as possible in the Eastern Conference standings. “It’s up there with watching our rookies overcome so much adversity. Now you’re seeing Joakim (Noah) in there, and then you see Derrick coming in Derrick Rose there just being the old attacking personality how he is,” Taj Gibson said. “He’s back in the hunt, back talking trash, hitting 3s, running up and down the court on our defenses.” That wasn’t enough to help Rose’s team win the scrimmage – Gibson said his team beat Rose and his cohorts – but it was just another good sign from the former MVP. One day after taking full contact for the first time since his Feb. 27 knee surgery, Rose was back on the practice floor for the Bulls. That’s good. Clearly. “He’s just got to string some practices together,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “[Monday], we established a baseline and keep building from there. “It’s just steady progress. He’s got to continue to build. He’s got a long way to go. And we have to focus in on what our team needs to do. That’s first and foremost right now.” For Rose, who declined to speak to reporters for a second straight day, the priority is getting back in game

shape as quick as possible. The playoffs start in less than three weeks, and any chance of a long Bulls run depends on how much Rose can contribute. But unlike past Rose rehabs, these Bulls are used to having him around. Before the surgery, Rose played 46 games – albeit with varying effectiveness – and got somewhat used to his teammates. That, their unfortunate experience with Rose recoveries and the way they practice, could help everybody get into a rhythm when Rose comes back. Gibson made note of how Bulls practices are similar to game atmospheres because of “how hard we go.” “Having him out there, I don’t think it will be any different,” Gibson said. “Having him out there, I don’t think it will be any different. The guys will have to adjust a little bit better, but it should be fine. He’ll be fine.” The Bulls have been fine recently without Rose. They’ve won five of six and play Wednesday at a Milwaukee team they’ve beaten three times this season. Although they’re better with a healthy and fresh Rose, Thibodeau won’t be rushing to put a date on his return. “I don’t want to jump ahead. It’s the second day of contact. Let him keep building,” Thibodeau said. “When he’s feeling good enough to be out there, we’ll go from there. Just go day by day. And that’s the way I really want him to approach it, as well.” Gibson’s approach with Rose and Tuesday’s scrimmage was different. “I didn’t want to be on his team. I wanted to be against him,” Gibson said. “But it was fun to see him back out there just pushing himself. A lot of guys tend to, when they get injuries, kind of shy away from pushing it. He was out there pushing himself extremely hard, yelling, just being a teammate the way that he was before he left. “It’s good to have him back. Last year and the year before it’s just frustrating.” Note: Doug McDermott (back) did not practice.

By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press MADISON, Wis. – After Michigan State clinched a spot in the Final Four last weekend, Wisconsin’s Sam Dekker wrote something on Twitter that packed as much of a punch as one of his dunks. “The Big Ten had a down year right?” Dekker asked. If anyone had that perception, it certainly isn’t the case with two teams in the Final Four – which is in Indianapolis. The Badgers play unbeaten Kentucky in one semifinal Saturday night, with the Spartans facing Duke in the other. Both Big Ten squads are underdogs going into their respective games. Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan congratulated his friend and Michigan State counterpart Tom Izzo over the phone Sunday after the Spartans’ beat Louisville. Now he’s looking ahead. “Yeah we’re proud of that, and then you move on, then you play,” Ryan said. “I’m proud of this conference.” Commissioner Jim Delany sounded like a proud father when talking about the Big Ten’s success. He is realistic, too. He knows that Big Ten teams weren’t quite successful in nonconference play in November and December, although the league won this year’s challenge series with the Atlantic Coast Conference. Some higher-profile Big Ten teams fell in the series, including Wisconsin’s loss to Duke in Madison. The regular-season title belonged to the Badgers. There was a logjam through the middle of the 14team league, with clubs beating up on each other. In the end, only Maryland at No. 12 and Michigan State at No. 23 joined No. 3 Wisconsin in the AP Top 25 at the end of the regular season. The AP poll at the end of the 2013-

Wisconsin forward Sam Dekker (left) hugs teammate Frank Kaminsky after Wisconsin beat Arizona, 85-78, in an NCAA tournament regional final Saturday in Los Angeles. 14 regular season had four Big Ten teams ranked, including three in the top 12. At one point in 2013-14, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Michigan State all were in the top five. The previous season, four league teams finished in the top 10. “It’s funny. The last year, or last two years, we had four teams in the top 10 or 12. We moved teams to the Final Four, we were regarded as the strongest conference in those years,” Delany said Tuesday in a phone interview. “This year, we didn’t have as much success in November and December,” he added. “When I size up our league, I really didn’t think we were quite as good as we had been. I didn’t agree with the fact that we weren’t pretty good – but I didn’t think we were as good as we had been.” As it turns out, they were even better when the tournament started. Wisconsin was the league’s sole representative in the Final Four last season. Now the Badgers have company in Michigan State. “Sure, we’d like to have an allBig Ten final. That would be awesome for both of us,” Izzo said Tuesday. He has been gushing about the

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Players don’t like Bryant’s situation

LaRoche not quite ready

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com MESA, Ariz. – After an 84-pitch scrimmage against minor-leaguers Tuesday, the Cubs’ new ace, Jon Lester, pronounced himself ready for Opening Night. But is the team any more ready to look its best in April than the ballpark that will be missing one of its most high-profile elements Jon Lester when the lights go up on an empty bleacher area Sunday night? Lester’s big prep day came one day after the only player in camp who got more attention than Lester this spring – slugging prospect Kris Bryant – was sent to the minors in a controversial move that has the players’ union threatening litigation. “As a player it [stinks],” said Lester of the service-time implications of the move. “It took me a while to understand it when I was coming up. But the quicker you can learn that this game is a business, the better off you are. “They can say development, development, development all they want, but this game’s a business.” Bryant led the majors with nine home runs this spring and was hitting .425 with a 1.652 OPS when he was sent out. Team president Theo Epstein called it a baseball decision. Bryant’s agent, Scott Boras, called it “ersatz baseball” for keeping one of the best performers off the roster. And the players’ union called it “a bad

Cubs 15, Rangers (ss) 10 SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) – Kyuji Fujikawa failed to retire any of the five batters he faced in an eight-run ninth inning as a Texas Rangers’ split squad lost to the Cubs, 15-10, Tuesday. Fujikawa, who signed with the Rangers in December after pitching for the Cubs last year, had retired 21 of 25 batters in exhibition games. The Cubs sent 12 batters to the plate in the ninth, and Fujikawa’s ERA jumped from 1.35 to 13.50. day for baseball” and is poised to file a grievance and raise the issue in upcoming negotiation on a new collective bargaining agreement. Whatever it was, the most conspicuous result is that if Bryant stays off the roster for at least 12 days, the Cubs assure an additional year of club control (through 2021) before his free agency eligibility. “I think everybody in this clubhouse understands it,” Lester said. That doesn’t mean they like it. “You want anybody that’s swinging the bat like he is (to be on the team),” Lester said. “But at the same time we all understand what’s going on.” Lester repeatedly has said since signing his franchise-record $155 million contract that “I’m here to win.” The Cubs’ front office exploited a 12-year personal relationship going back to Boston as it courted him over the winter – but sold Lester on a plan that involved turning a corner this year toward a sustained, competitive run. “We have to worry about what we do in this clubhouse and who’s here now,” Lester

said. “I’m sure Kris has handled it very, very well. He’s a good kid. He’ll be with us at some point. And we’ve all been there. He’s just a little more high profile than the rest of us were when we were coming up. “It [stinks], but I hope he understands it; I hope our organization understands it; and I hope the players here understand it because it’s something we can’t control. They made the decision and now we have to move forward.” Assuming Lester’s last two starts in scrimmages were indications that he’s past the dead-arm period he experienced earlier in camp, the Cubs are mostly healthy and intact with only a few days left in camp. “I wasn’t the sharpest today, but got to where we needed to,” said Lester, who pitched into the sixth inning and touched 93 mph. The rotation looks healthy. The bullpen looks strong and potentially deep. But it’s how much one of the worst producing lineups in baseball last year improves that figures to be the difference between marginal improvement and a sizeable jump from last year’s 73 wins. Without the top prospect in the game who has looked like a monster since the 2014 season at Double-A and Triple-A like he might be ready to compete in the majors. For now. “At any given time things can rapidly change in this game,” Lester said. “We can’t control that. Now we have to continue to prepare for Sunday and the rest of the season, and he’ll be fine. He’ll be with us at some point hitting homers.”

on Opening Day. The famous play “Bleacher Bums” was not called “Jumbo-Bums” for a reason. The new monstrosity in left field dwarfs the green scoreboard in center field, the way Godzilla dwarfs your pet lizard. But bigger always comes. And it’s hard to say 18th-century urinal troughs and porto-johns are better than real rest rooms. I remember sitting in the bleachers when it cost only a dollar, but that’s only because I’m old. But I also remember sitting in the bleachers when it was much more expensive and it was still ... Wrigley Field. Will the new place, no matter how long it takes to build, still be Wrigley Field? Hard to say. But on Irving Park not far from the ballpark, there’s a billboard touting the Vamoose Tattoo Removal company. The sign shows a photo of a woman from behind, her bare back untouched until just above what we’ll call the butt area. There in red letters is the word, “KUBS.” Some things, like the stain of 100-plus years of losing, need erasing. Forget the infrastructure. • Rick Telander is a Chicago Sun-Times columnist.

All gates will be available Sunday • WRIGLEY FIELD Continued from page C1 be supplemented elsewhere. “Our goal is to ensure the ongoing construction does not lessen the fan experience or impact the game on the field,” Rice said. “We’ll constantly monitor the noise and construction activity and make adjustments as we go. The key objective is getting this done right and delivering the ultimate fan experience.”

The Cubs are encouraging fans to use public transportation to come and go from the stadium because construction and street closures will limit traffic flow around Wrigley. All of the stadium’s gates will be available on Opening Day and throughout the season. The bleacher gate will open when construction concludes in that area. The Ernie Banks and Ron Santo statues will be back in place on Opening Day, but the Harry Caray statue will not return for the 2015 season be-

cause construction is ongoing at that part of the stadium. Rice said the schedule for the overall project might need adjusting as the Cubs determine what can be accomplished during the season. He said chairman Tom Ricketts has spent $50 million more than originally planned on the project, and the renovation could take up to five years instead of four. Ricketts announced the construction would take four more years after a City Club of Chicago luncheon last week.

Feeling behind nothing new for Sox’s DH By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – Adam LaRoche usually isn’t feeling it this late in camp, and his first one with the White Sox is no different. That’s why he skipped Tuesday’s Cactus League game against the Dodgers and hit in a minor league game, an old Jim Thome tactic that allows the big leaguers to step up for an at-bat every inning. Adam LaRoche “My swing is one where it seems to take me the full spring training and some years past that to get it dialed in,” said LaRoche, 35, who signed a two-year deal to become the Sox’s cleanup hitter. “I can remember only two or three springs where with a week left I felt really good. “The good news is I’ve been there a lot, so there is no need to panic. It comes and goes here for a while. But I’ll be good.” Mentally, LaRoche said he’s been ready for a week to break camp. But his hitting stroke – he’s batting .186 with a team-high 14 strikeouts in Arizona – needs more attention. He does have 10 RBIs, boosted by an early grand slam. Coming to the Sox from the National League having to adapt to being a designated hitter, LaRoche also needs

White Sox 2, Dodgers 1 GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier left Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to the White Sox after he was hit on his right elbow by a pitch. Ethier fell to the dirt in pain after he was plunked by rookie Carlos Rodon in the third. He was replaced by Chris Heisey, who homered in the fifth. X-rays on Ethier’s elbow were negative, and he is expected to play Thursday against the Angels in Anaheim. Sox slugger Jose Abreu went 4 for 4 with an RBI double, and Rodon allowed four hits in 5⅓ innings. Melky Cabrera had a sacrifice fly. time to adapt to that, although it remains to be seen how much time he will share at first with Jose Abreu. A 50-50 split with Abreu doesn’t seem to be a stretch for the former Gold Glove first baseman. He is welcoming the transition to DH. Minor back issues that creep up in September, he says not from swinging or running but from all the standing at first base, shouldn’t be a problem with less time on the field. How the DH thing works will take some getting used to once the season begins. On spring training fields there are no attached clubhouses with exercise bikes or hitting cages to stay active on. “One thing I hadn’t thought of is when you’re playing both sides you can have a chance to influence a game defensively if you’re having a rough day at the plate,” LaRoche said. “You can go out and save some runs. So you have one shot there on the offensive side of it. That will make

things a little different. But I’ll get used to it.” LaRoche hit .259 with 26 home runs and 92 RBIs last season with Washington. He has 264 homers and 838 RBIs in his 11-year career. A quiet leader-type who played in Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Arizona and Washington, LaRoche is getting used to new teammates, and he likes what he sees. “We’re just getting that dialed in with who’s headed north with us,” LaRoche said. “But I don’t know if you could ask for a better group. The chemistry is going to be a nonissue. “You have to go out and play and win, but this helps in those bad stretches where you go a couple weeks where nothing is going right. A lot of teams that aren’t strong internally can collapse at that point. The good ones know it’s going to happen a few times a year and stick together and battle through it. “You can’t put a number on it. You can’t. You rely on your GM to do their homework and sign good people. We have a clubhouse full of them.” LaRoche provides the “been there, done that factor,” said Adam Eaton, whose locker at Camelback Ranch is next to LaRoche’s. “Veteran leadership is important. The teams that go deep into the playoffs always have those types of guys with makeup on the team. He brings that and rubs off on other guys. He’s rubbed off on me with his cool, relaxed manner and his professionalism. In June, in July when you’re having that week when everyone wants to kill each other, to have a level-headed person in the clubhouse will be very, very helpful.”

BARBARA WALTERS MAKING SERIES FOR ID NETWORK

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, April 1, 2015 • Section C • Page 6

NEW YORK – Barbara Walters resisted using the word “retirement” when she left “The View” and here’s one reason why: She has a new series set to begin this October on the Investigation Discovery network. The fast-growing ID network said Tuesday that Walters will present “American Scandal,” a series that looks back on well-known crimes where she worked on the stories initially. In the new series, she’ll revisit cases involving Jean Harris, the former girls’ school headmistress convicted of the murder of her lover, and Mary Kay Letourneau, a suburban Seattle teacher convicted of raping a 12-year-old student.

Rolling Stones announce North American stadium tour LOS ANGELES – The Rolling Stones are zipping across North America again. The rock band announced a 15-city stadium tour Tuesday that will kick off May 24 at Petco Park in San Diego, California. Other stops include Columbus, Ohio; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Dallas, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Orlando, Florida; and Nashville, Tennessee. The so-called “Zip Code” tour will once again reunite singer Mick Jagger, drummer Charlie Watts and guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood. The last time the Rolling Stones played North American stadiums was during their “A Bigger Bang Tour” in 2006. They opted for arena venues for their “50 & Counting” tour in 2012 and 2013. “We love being out on the road and it is great to come back to North America,” Keith Richards said in a statement. “I can’t wait to get back on the stage!” And quite the stage it will be, including a section that juts far into the crowd, allowing the Stones to interact with fans. As is the band’s practice, the stage design will employ cutting-edge technology to enhance the performance, including video screens and special effects. Other cities on the “Zip Code” tour include Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Kansas City, Missouri; Raleigh, North Carolina; Indianapolis, Indiana; Detroit, Michigan; Buffalo, New York; and Quebec, Canada. Tickets will go on sale April 13.

EASTER MEAL PLANNING

Carrot Cake Waffles With Ginger Raisin Syrup AP photo

BREAKFAST THAT’S

BUNNY APPROVED Carrot cake made for mornings By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

This Easter, we’ve decided you can have cake for breakfast. After all, it is a holiday that’s already loaded with treats, so why not embrace the sweeter side of every meal. We took all the flavors of a classic carrot cake – golden raisins, grated carrots, chopped

walnuts and brown sugar – and combined them into a crispy waffle perfect for breakfast or lunch. You even could serve them for dessert with a topping of vanilla ice cream. The waffles also can be prepared ahead, then frozen (separated by kitchen parchment). When ready to serve, just pop into the toaster.

Carrot Cake Waffles With Ginger Raisin Syrup Makes 4 large waffles Servings: 30 minutes For the ginger-raisin syrup: 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup water 1/3 cup golden raisins 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger 1 teaspoon dry ground ginger For the waffles: 2 eggs 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar 1/4 cup vegetable oil 8-ounce can crushed pineapple (not drained) 1/2 cup toasted, chopped walnuts 1/2 cup packed grated carrot 1 cup buttermilk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon table salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon Butter, optional To make the syrup, in a small saucepan over medium-high, combine the brown sugar, water, raisins and both gingers. Bring to a simmer, stirring to combine, and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to steep. Heat a waffle iron to medium-high. Heat the oven to 250 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, oil, pineapple, walnuts, carrot, buttermilk and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the liquid ingredients just until combined. Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray and add 2/3 cup of batter, or an appropriate amount for your waffle iron. Cook as directed for your waffle iron, or until golden brown. Keep warm on a baking sheet in the oven while you cook the remaining waffles. Serve with butter, if desired, and the warm syrup.

Swap spring staples for bacon and eggs this Easter By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press The classic foods of Easter dinner have never done much for me, full of springtime vegetable clichés. Now, Easter brunch is another matter entirely. So this year, I decided Easter would be a brunch to better allow me to focus on all those delicious fat-enhanced carbs. And I decided to combine three of my favorite Easter items – hash brown potatoes, bacon and a baked egg with a perfectly cooked yolk. The result is a filled hash

brown “cup” that is easy to prep for a crowd.

Baked Egg and Hashbrown Cups Start to finish: 1 hour (15 minutes active) Servings: 12 2 tablespoons butter, softened 20-ounce bag shredded potatoes 1 teaspoon garlic powder Kosher salt and ground black pepper 12 extra-large eggs 3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch chunks and cooked until crisp

Maple syrup, warmed (optional) Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Use the butter to liberally coat the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan. In a medium bowl, combine the potatoes, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well. Divide the potato mixture evenly between the muffin cups. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to firmly press the shredded potatoes over the bottoms and up the sides of each cup, completely covering them. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the sides of the potatoes are browned and crisp.

Baked Egg and Hashbrown Cups

Crack 1 egg into the center of each cup, then top each with a pinch of salt and pepper. Top each cup with several chunks of bacon. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set. Set aside for 5 minutes, then use a fork to carefully remove each cup from the pan. If desired, drizzle each cup with a bit of maple syrup.

Ham put on the grill By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press When I think of spring menus, I instantly think of asparagus and the fresh ham that my grandmother made every Easter. The pork was studded with cloves and slathered with brown sugar and mustard before roasting. And it made the entire house smell amazing. But these days, I tend to do most of my roasting on the grill. So I’ve adapted my grandmother’s recipe, and was thrilled that it ended up being deceptively easy. All you really need is the forethought to order a fresh ham from your butcher (many grocers don’t normally stock them) and the patience to let it cook slowly over indirect heat. A fresh ham, sometimes called a “green” ham, is pork at its most basic – not cured, not smoked, not cooked. The meat is so sweet and succulent, and the texture is meaty, not compact and slick as a cured ham often is. Also, the meat of a fresh ham remains white when cooked. I promise

it will taste like the best pork roast you have ever eaten. Prefer to roast this in the oven? Follow the recipe as directed, but set the ham on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast at 325 degrees F. for 5 to 6 hours.

Grandmother Odom’s Fresh Ham With Cloves and Brown Sugar Start to finish: 6 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 15 to 20 (depending on size) 12- to 15-pound fresh (uncured, unsmoked) ham 2 tablespoons whole cloves 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar 1½ tablespoons kosher salt 9-ounce jar yellow mustard Prepare a grill for medium heat, indirect cooking. For a charcoal grill, this means banking the hot coals to one side of the grill and cooking on the other side. For a gas grill, this means turning off one or more burners to create a cooler side, then cooking on that side. Use paper towels to pat dry the ham. Using a sharp boning or paring

knife, remove the skin but leave the layer of fat just beneath the skin (alternatively, you can have the butcher do this). Score the fat by making diagonal cuts from right to left, then again across the original cuts to create a diamond pattern. Press a whole clove into the points each of these diamonds. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, salt and mustard. Rub the mixture all over the exterior of the ham. Place the ham on the cooler (indirect heat) side of the grill, either directly on the grates or in a V-rack roast holder. Grill the ham for 5 to 6 hours, or until the thickest part reaches 175 degrees F. to 180 degrees F. The outside should be darkly caramelized, and the inside should be very tender. Transfer the ham to a serving platter and let rest for 20 minutes before carving.

Easter meringue inspired by coconut cake, coconut cream By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

Brown Sugar Coconut Meringue Cake

It’s just not Easter without some sort of coconut dessert, whether it’s a classic Southern coconut cake or a creamy coconut chocolate egg. So this year we decided to take our inspiration from both of those to create a fresh, yet still familiar dessert for rounding out our Easter dinner. We liked the idea of a classic layer cake, but we wanted something a little lighter. So instead of layers of white cake, we baked up airy and crisp meringues. We then stacked the meringues, layering them with a rich coconut cream, fresh berries and toasted shredded coconut. The result is creamy, fresh and the perfect finish to the holiday meal.

2 cups potatoes, cooked, peeled and diced 1 cup celery hearts, diced 1/2 onion 1/2 cup dill pickles, drained and diced 3 cups cold meat such as turkey, ham, chicken or a combination, chopped 3 hard-boiled eggs, diced

1 tablespoon chives 1 tablespoon pimento 1 tablespoon parsley 1/2 tablespoon salt 1/2 tablespoon pepper 2 cups Miracle Whip Mix all ingredients together and chill. Serve on a lettuce leaf.

Chilled soup fit for Easter dinner By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press Soup can be an unusual choice for a spring dinner. We’re supposed to be celebrating light, bright flavors and a return of fresh produce. Heavy and hearty are out of place. Except that spring soups can be bright, light and a delicious blend of fresh – rather than long-simmered – flavors. Looking for an accompaniment to the traditional flavors of Easter dinner, we created this rich, creamy chilled soup that is simple and refreshing. It blends blanched peas, cucumber and avocados with mint and basil for a rush of beautiful green flavors. This soup and pesto are easily prepared up to a day ahead, then refrigerated. Let warm slightly to room temperature before serving.

Shortly before serving, in a blender combine the avocados, cucumber, peas and buttermilk. Process until very smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the soup into serving bowls and drizzle with the pesto. Top each with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

To make the pesto, in a food processor combine the mint, basil and olive oil. Process until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Stir in the lime juice, then set aside. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 inch of water. Once the water

6 egg whites 1/4 teaspoon table salt 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1 cup toasted coconut flakes, divided 5 tablespoons cornstarch, divided 1/2 cup granulated sugar 4 whole eggs 13.5-ounce can coconut milk 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter 2 cups fresh berries, such as blueberries, blackberries and raspberries Heat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with kitchen parchment. One at a time, set a 9-inch round cake pan in the center of each sheet of parchment, then trace it.

salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar a tablespoon at a time, beating until fully incorporated and firm peaks are held. Fold in the vinegar, then gently fold 1/2 cup of the coconut and 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch into the meringue. Transfer half of the mixture to the center of each circle traced on the parchment. Spread the meringue so that it is even, but stays within the circle. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until golden and crisp around the edge. It should remain somewhat spongy at the center. Allow to cool completely. Meanwhile, make the coconut cream. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with the granulated sugar. Add the whole eggs and whisk again until completely smooth. Add the coconut milk and whisk once more until combined. Set the pan over medium heat and, whisking constantly, cook until the cream

thickens and comes to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter. Pour the mixture into a bowl and press plastic wrap down onto the surface of the cream. Refrigerate to cool completely, about 1 hour. To assemble the cake, place a disc of meringue on a serving platter. Top with half of the cooled coconut cream, half of the berries, and half of the remaining toasted coconut. Set the second layer of meringue over that, then repeat the toppings. Serve immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated, covered gently with plastic wrap, for up to 24 hours, though the meringue will lose some of its texture.

Today is a day to celebrate Pet ownership helps improve biting gators and big tonsils physical and mental health Dear Readers: In honor of April Fools’ Day, I’ll share a couple of offbeat letters I’ve received from readers who have attempted to pull my proverbial leg. Enjoy! Dear Abby: I’m writing to brag about my boyfriend. He’s a semi-professional alligator wrestler and super brave. It’s a tough job, and it takes him away from home a lot. It’s also a very dangerous job. He often comes home with bite marks all over his neck and shoulders and scratches on his back. Want to know something weird about alligators? Their natural odor smells a lot like perfume. When my beau gets back from a tournament, he often reeks of it. The first time I smelled it on him, I was worried. But after he explained it to me, it made perfect sense. (Just another one of life’s coincidences, I guess.) We’re so happy together. We have four beautiful children, and he promises we’ll get married soon – right after the next tournament. I know you get lots of letters about bad relationships, so I thought I’d let you hear about a good one. – Gator

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

Dear Dr. K: I’m on the fence about getting a dog. My wife claims pets – particularly dogs – can improve our health. Is that true? Dear Reader: When I was growing up, there was always a dog in the family. And I mean “in the family.” They were a part of the family, often coming with us when we went on errands. Some of my friends never had a pet, so I once asked my mother why we always had a dog. She replied, “Dogs are good for us.” I remembered that answer when I got your question. But I wasn’t sure of the “scientific” answer to your question, so I did some homework. When I looked into the evidence, I found there are many studies that indicate having a dog is linked to health in several ways. Here’s what I learned: • Physical activity. Regular exercise is the closest thing that exists to an all-purpose tonic for good health. Enter the dog. Dogs are perfect exercise buddies. Whether we like it or not, they will encourage us to go for a walk, be it raining, snowing, sleeting or hailing outside. • Reduced asthma and allergies in children. Most allergists

Canada Dear Clueless: A love affair involves more than having sex. An extramarital affair begins as soon as a man or woman starts sneaking around and lying to his or her mate. Dear Abby: Please settle an argument my ex-husband and I still have. Over the course of our marriage, we had problems. One night we had a nasty spat, after which he moved out and never returned. He claims I should have asked him to move back in. My response has always been that he chose to leave, so I shouldn’t have had to beg him to come back. Your opinion, please? –

Be glad your boyfriend doesn’t wrestle cougars because I hear they wear indelible lipstick. Dear Abby: A teacher at our high school took some time off to get a breast augmentation. Before she left, she told the class she was having her tonsils out. When she returned to the classroom with a larger chest, one of the students cracked, “Nice tonsils!” Of course, the class roared.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff now say children who are exposed to a dog from infancy onward are less likely to develop problems. That appears to be true even in allergyprone children. • Cardiovascular benefits. A growing body of evidence is showing multiple benefits for heart health. In 2013, the American Heart Association issued a statement concluding pet ownership is probably associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. How could that be? Consider the next two benefits: • Blood pressure. In multiple studies, dog owners have been shown to have lower blood pressure than non-owners. That’s probably due to a combination of increased exercise and the calming effects pets have on their owners. • Psychological benefits. Dog ownership helps prevent loneliness, anxiety and depression. Each of these is, in turn, a risk factor for heart disease. Many people report feeling less fear and anxiety when they pet a dog. Dog own-

ership leads to less release of the stress hormone cortisol, which in turn lowers stressrelated increases in heart rate and blood pressure. Why all these benefits? I think it’s because (most) dogs love us without reservation. There’s a prayer that makes this point: “Lord, help me to become the person my dog thinks I am.” Dogs also seek our love, and that, too, has its benefits. Dogs add structure and routine to the day. And the presence of an animal that requires care can turn a sick person’s focus outward and away from his or her symptoms and worries. As you can see, dogs have much to offer us. But think carefully before you make the decision to adopt a dog. Pets have social, emotional and physical needs. Make sure you will have the time and energy to attend to them. We have recently published a report about the health benefits of owning a dog, which you can find out about at my website, www.askdoctork.com. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Follow suggestions to help save our planet before it’s too late Dr. Wallace: I belong to an after-school club called Help Save Our Planet. All of our members are concerned about our planet and want to do what we can to make sure our planet lives on forever. One of our members saw a list of suggestions called “Helping Our Planet to Survive” on her church bulletin board, and now we have them posted on our wall at school. Do you think you could print them in your column so all the teens who read your column could share them with their fellow

bags at the market. Carry your own canvas tote bag made from organic cotton. The cotton is grown without pesticides and processed without toxic dyes, bleaches and unnecessary chemicals. • Use a washable tote bag for your lunch each day instead of a paper bag. • Pack your lunch sandwich in a small food container instead of a plastic bag. • Instead of buying single servings of juice or yogurt, buy the larger containers and make your own single servings to avoid extra packaging trash.

‘TWEEN 12 & 20 Dr. Robert Wallace students and families? It would be great if you could, and I’m sure it would motivate many of them to help save our planet. Thanks. –

Sue, New York Sue: I’m sure your “Help Save Our Planet” list will be read and appreciated by many: • Don’t accept plastic

• Suggest your parents avoid using chemicals on your lawn. When it rains, these poisons can wash from your lawn into a waterway and into the ocean. • Do not flush household hazardous waste down the drain. It can end up in the local water. • When you picnic near a lake, river or ocean, pick up all your trash. Any litter left behind will be swept into the water. • Never buy products made from endangered animals, such as ivory jewelry

or figurines. • Volunteer to work at your local zoo, aquarium or animal shelter. • Only buy canned tuna and salmon that have “dolphin-friendly” stamps on them. Some fishing companies use nets that catch dolphin along with the fish. When the dolphins become trapped in the nets, they drown. • Persuade everyone you know not to buy real fur. Fake fur looks just as good and is also a lot cheaper. • Reuse notebook paper

and computer paper. Reusing paper reduces our need for forest products. According to The Institute of Scrap Recycling, paper recycling saves the United States 200 million trees a year. • Plant a tree. Or “adopt” a tree that needs a friend to water and protect it. Sue: I hope all who read this list will implement the suggestions for the good of the planet and all of its inhabitants. • Write to Dr. Wallace at rwallace@galesburg.net.
