Autism diagnoses on the rise Experts say numbers show growing need for services

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com

K

elly Weaver co-founded the Alexander Leigh Center for Autism in 2004 with only a handful of children and ran it out of her

home.

Weaver was concerned there weren’t enough resources for the specific needs of her daughter, Gillian, who has what’s known as moderate autism.

At that time, it was believed that about one in 150 children had an autism diagnosis.

Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that as many as one in 68 children has a diagnosis. To accommodate continued growth, the Alexander Leigh Center moved to a much bigger space in Crystal Lake and caters to about 35 students.

“The rates are higher, but there’s no change in the impact it has to a parent today,” Weaver said. “The rug gets pulled out from underneath your feet. Your life gets tipped upside down. You feel grief and loss, heartache, fear, frustration and anger.”

The recent CDC report cites a surge in diagnoses from just two years before when it was estimated that one in 88 children had autism. The CDC estimated that one in 110 children had a diagnosis in

HUNTLEY – The maker of Weber Grills wants to build a global distribution center near Interstate 90 in Huntley, as part of a twofold plan that could create about 500 jobs for a village focused on business growth.

Weber-Stephen Products would move distribution operations from its current facility along Oak Creek Parkway in Huntley to 89 acres east of the Huntley Outlet Center not yet in village limits.

The popular grill maker would then transform its existing facility in Huntley to a manufacturing factory, under an initial plan Village Board members will see for the first time Thursday.

The combined moves would bring about 500 permanent and seasonal jobs for a village that has eyed a business boom since a full interchange opened at Route 47 and Interstate 90 last

2006.

Children with autism will show a lack of – or impairment in – verbal and nonverbal communication. They may be engaged in repetitive movements, make little or no eye contact, and be resistant to change in routine or environments. They may have unusual responses to certain

stimuli such as noises, smells, textures, tastes or light.

Using the CDC rate and simple math with county enrollment rates, there could be as many as 511 local children with autism.

The rates are higher, but there’s no change in the impact it has to a parent today.

Everyone deserves choice in education SPRINGFIELD – After several weeks of trying to teach my second-grader how to ride a bicycle, I became pretty frustrated.

I tried instructing Gracie the same way my parents taught me when I was 6. But I couldn’t understand what was going wrong.

My poor mother must have run miles up and down West Street in Galesburg with one hand on my bicycle seat, hollering, “You can do it, Scotty! You can do it!”

But for my oldest daughter, this strategy proved less than effective. In fact, about the only thing this method seemed to accomplish was give me a really good workout.

So what’s a modern parent to do?

I turned to YouTube. After watching three videos on teaching a child how to ride a bike, I altered my approach.

Instead of running behind her while she learned to pedal, steer, brake and balance herself, I took Gracie to the top of our neighbor’s driveway and let her practice coasting to the bottom of it without pedaling.

VIEWS Scott Reeder Once she had mastered balancing herself, we worked on pedaling. Then it was steering.

And after a spill in the neighbor’s yard – in which Gracie announced she will never get on a bicycle again – we continued to work on braking.

Teaching is difficult. Every child learns differently. Methods that work for some don’t work for others. For example, when I read with my kids, I find they master words differently.

One likes to sound out words. Another recognizes them by sight.

I can’t say one learning method is better, because my little girls learn in different ways.

I attended public schools and universities – from kindergarten through graduate school – and found it to be a mostly positive experience.

My children attend parochial schools because my wife and I value

the structure, the religious education and the accountability of the teachers.

A friend, who is a scientist, withdrew his daughter from public high school and had her study an online curriculum for a year. She now is flourishing in college.

I have friends who home-school their children and they think it is great. Charter schools are a solution many other parents have pursued.

Ultimately, parents must choose what they believe is best for their children. Unfortunately, there are some in the General Assembly who want to limit that choice.

The Illinois House recently passed a bill that takes aim at charter schools.

Such schools receive public funding but operate with more independence than other public schools. Students may be drawn from across a district, rather than a specific neighborhood, and while faculty members can join unions, they often choose not to.

It’s that final point that has teachers unions and their legislative allies taking aim at charter schools and trying to undo modest reforms.

Just three years ago, Illinois created a Charter School Commission that groups wanting to create charter schools could appeal to if a local school board said, “No.” The commission is really the forum of last resort for those seeking to create a charter school. Even so, about 95 percent of the time, that commission also says, “No.” But that’s not good enough for the state’s two teachers unions. They want the commission dead. Finished.

Defunct. Kaput.

In simple terms, charter schools are a threat to the unions’ business model. If charter schools weren’t working, parents would refuse to enroll their children in such institutions. But they are an effective alternative.

After all, no child learns the same way. And all parents deserve a choice.

Teen stabs 22 at Pittsburgh-area high school The ASSOCIATED PRESS MURRYSVILLE, Pa. – Flailing away with two kitchen knives, a 16-year-old boy with a “blank expression” stabbed and slashed 21 students and a security guard in the crowded halls of his suburban Pittsburgh high school Wednesday before an assistant principal tackled him.

At least five students were critically wounded, including a boy whose liver was pierced by a knife thrust that narrowly missed his heart and aorta, doctors said. Others also suf-

fered deep abdominal puncture wounds.

The rampage – which came after decades in which U.S. schools geared much of their emergency planning toward mass shootings, not stabbings – set off a screaming stampede, left blood on the floor and walls, and brought teachers rushing to help the victims.

The suspect, Alex Hribal, was taken into custody and treated for a minor hand wound, then was brought into court in shackles and a hospital gown and charged with

Assistant Principal Sam King finally tackled the boy and disarmed him, and a Murrysville police officer who is regularly assigned to the school handcuffed him, police said.

Pension deal puts Quinn in bind

Obama offers solace to nation at Fort Hood FORT HOOD, Texas – President Barack Obama returned to the grieving Army post Wednesday where he first took on the job as the nation’s comforter five years ago, mourning with families and uniformed comrades of those killed during last week’s Fort Hood shooting spree. “We somehow bear what seems unbearable,” he declared.

It was yet another sad observance for a president who has had to deliver words of consolation across the country many times. At Fort Hood, the ceremony was made more poignant as a remembrance for soldiers who didn’t die in wars abroad but in the safety of their own compound.

“They were members of a generation that has borne the burden of our security for more than a decade of war,” Obama said on a breezy, sun washed day in central Texas.

Three soldiers died and 16 others were wounded in the rampage last Wednesday by another soldier, who killed himself.

Plan to reduce Chicago’s shortfall would create $750M property tax hike

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Legislature’s approval of a plan to reduce Chicago’s multibillion-dollar pension shortfall is creating an election-year quandary for Gov. Pat Quinn, who must decide whether to indirectly sign off on a $750 million tax hike or risk derailing aid for a city in serious financial trouble.

Quinn has railed against the property tax in his re-election campaign, calling it a “lousy” tax that unfairly burdens the middle class. He has declined to say whether he’ll sign the legislation but said Wednesday he was happy a provision that explicitly called for the tax increase was stripped from the bill after he said he wouldn’t support it.

The situation also marks another awkward moment between Quinn and Mayor Rahm Emanuel, as the two

Two car bombs rock central Syria city of Homs DAMASCUS, Syria – Two car bombs exploded Wednesday in a government-held district of Syria’s battleground city of Homs, killing at least 25 people and wounding more than 100, state media said.

The blasts hit a commercial street inhabited mostly by members of President Bashar Assad’s minority Alawite sect in the central city, where government forces have been imposing a heavy siege on rebel-controlled districts.

State news agency SANA said one car blew up near a sweets shop in a busy street and about half an hour later another car exploded about 100 yards away “in order to inflict the biggest numbers of casualties among citizens.”

“More money is going in, but the pensions are actually being less and less well-funded. The payouts are increasing at a staggering rate.”

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – A day after the high-profile approval of a Chicago pension overhaul, mayors from suburban DuPage County asked lawmakers Wednesday for help with their pension systems for police officers and firefighters, saying costs are spiraling out of control.

Officials from cities in Illinois’ second most-populous county want legislative approval for cost-saving measures in their financially shaky retirement accounts.

Statewide, cities have just 55 percent of the money in their

must address police, fire and teacher pensions, must get approval from the General Assembly and Quinn for any pension changes.

The measure fast-tracked through the Legislature Tuesday would affect about 57,000 employees and retirees in the municipal workers and laborers’ retirement accounts.

It would nearly eliminate the $9.4 billion shortfall in those funds by cutting benefits and increasing contributions for both the city and employees.

Emanuel wants the city’s additional contributions to come from a property tax increase of about $750 million over five years.

The tax hike was originally included in the legislation filed by House Speaker Michael Madigan, a Chicago Democrat. But Madigan removed that language after legislators balked at taking the blame and Quinn said it was “No can do.” The final legislation approved Tuesday

instead left the decision on how to raise the revenue to the Chicago City Council.

But it’s still a trick bag for Quinn, who faces Republican businessman Bruce Rauner in the November election.

Rauner, of Winnetka, has pushed for public employees to be moved to a 401K-style retirement system. And he has repeatedly blasted Quinn for increasing Illinois’ income tax – a 2011 jump that was supposed to be temporary but that Quinn now wants to make permanent in order to avoid massive cuts to education and other areas.

Quinn has 60 days to decide whether to veto the bill. Madigan noted the measure passed the House with enough “yes” votes to override a veto. The same is not true in the Senate, but Madigan predicted that won’t be an issue.

“In the end I think the governor will sign the bill,” Madigan said.

action Tuesday to give Mayor Rahm Emanuel authority to revamp Chicago pensions for municipal employees and laborers. The plan, hinging on a $750 million, five-year property tax increase, increased contributions from employees and reduced retirement benefits, is intended to address a $9.4 billion deficit in those accounts.

But Chicago has yet to ad-

dress a $10 billion shortfall in its police and fire funds – the programs that are increasingly causing financial headaches for the rest of the state’s municipalities.

Fixing those systems will take similar action, the DuPage officials said. Pension programs are created by state law, so only the Legislature can approve change. The officials are asking for permission to lower annual cost-ofliving adjustments, increase employee contributions, and raise the retirement age for police and fire employees in cities outside of Chicago.

Inevitably, changes will face opposition. Police and

fire unions argue that employees have paid their contributions all along while cities have not paid what they’ve been obligated to pay.

There’s uncertainty about the constitutionality of a fix signed into law last fall designed to deal with a $100 billion problem in state employees’ pensions. Some city officials don’t expect action on police and fire pension problems until a court ruling on the statewide plan.

And it’s an election year.

It’s hard to vote against first responders such as police officers and firefighters or their unions, which have significant influence.

Bomb blast in Pakistani capital outskirts kills 22 ISLAMABAD – A bomb ripped through a fruit and vegetable market on the outskirts of Islamabad on Wednesday, killing 22 people and wounding dozens more in a new attack in the Pakistani capital, which until recently had remained relatively removed from shootings and bombings that plague other parts of the country.

Confusion over who carried out the morning blast underlined one of Pakistan’s central woes – the sheer number of armed groups waging violence for multiple motives.

The Pakistani Taliban, which has led a campaign of bombings and shootings for years aimed at toppling the government, quickly denied responsibility, saying in a statement that it is adhering to a ceasefire for negotiations.

Chicago Democrats – who both face re-election in coming months – promote sometimes competing interests.

Emanuel says the state must OK his pension overhaul – which the mayor negotiated with unions and hinges on the property tax increase – to avoid even larger tax hike, severe cuts in services and the potential insolvency of the city’s retirement funds.

“I think the bill that passed, I must take a hard look at. It’s going to take a little while,” said Quinn, who has suggested Emanuel look at other revenue options, such as closing corporate tax loopholes. “It’s a pretty complicated bill and I’m going to look at it from top to bottom.”

Emanuel said he worked out the deal with about two dozen labor unions with the understanding it would include the property tax.

PERTH, Australia – Planes and ships hunting for the missing Malaysian jetliner zeroed in on a targeted patch of the Indian Ocean on Thursday, after a navy ship picked up underwater signals that are consistent with a plane’s black box.

Thursday’s search zone was the smallest yet in the monthlong search for Flight 370 – 22,364 square miles of ocean – and comes a day after the Australian official in charge of the search expressed hope that crews were closing in on the “final resting place” of the vanished jet.

Angus Houston, who is coordinating the search off Australia’s west coast, said Wednesday that equipment on the Australian vessel Ocean Shield had picked up two sounds from deep below the surface on Tuesday, and an analysis of two other sounds detected in the same general area on Saturday showed they were consistent with a plane’s flight recorders, or “black boxes.”

Franks told Madigan he cannot back amendment • TAX Continued from page A1 Madigan needed all 71 Democratic House votes, which is the exact three-fifths majority needed to advance a constitutional amendment, and finding two yes votes from the Republican minority would have been practically impossible for the powerful House speaker.

Franks, D-Marengo, said he told Madigan on Monday that he could not in good conscience support the amendment to impose a 3 percent tax on annual incomes greater than $1 million. He went public with the decision shortly after Rep. Scott Drury, D-Highwood, did the same.

Franks had told the Northwest Herald in a March 21 interview that he was open to putting it on the ballot to let voters decide. But on Wednesday he cited Gov. Pat Quinn’s budget address five days later, in which Quinn asked to make the temporary 67 percent tax increase permanent, as one of the catalysts to make him change his mind.

“With Governor Quinn, there’s no taxation without misrepresentation,” Franks said. “When [the millionaire tax] was presented initially, it was before the governor made clear his intention to make the tax hike permanent, or to create a property tax rebate that would in fact cost McHenry County families more.”

But he also said he told Madigan that he felt the amendment was too much a political move. While Madigan said the tax would generate at least $1 billion a year for public education, critics called it a political move aimed at Republican gubernatorial candidate and self-made multimillionaire Bruce Rauner, Franks said he had heard the same concern from his constituents.

“I think people felt, like I did, that it was a political maneuver done to help a flailing governor,” Franks said.

When asked how Madigan took it, Franks answered, “Not well.”

Drury, a first-term member representing the north Chicago suburbs, said in a Wednesday news release that he could not support the amendment, despite language that would distribute the new revenue equally on a per-student basis.

“I stand with all Illinois residents and businesses who are looking for stability and fiscal responsibility, but I see only chaos,” Drury said. “I strive to restore the public’s trust in Illinois government and, under existing circumstances, voting for the proposed tax increase runs counter to that goal.”

Franks echoed a similar sentiment.

“The real issue here is that this would help enable the governor to continue business as usual and continue tax policies that have choked off Illinois’ recovery, and I will not allow that to happen,” Franks said.

Madigan spokesman Steve Brown said that Madigan blames Republicans who won’t support the idea because Republicans “prefer and protect millionaires over schoolchildren.”

The millionaire tax is not the only proposed tax amendment that Franks could end up killing. He said he will under no circumstance support a proposed constitutional amendment changing the state income tax from a flat tax to a progressive tax based on income.

The flat tax was 3 percent of income for individuals until Democratic lawmakers in the last hours of session in January 2011 increased it 67 percent to 5 percent of income.

The rate is supposed to decrease to 3.75 percent on Jan. 1, unless lawmakers extend it.

Franks faces an election challenger in November in Republican opponent Steven Reick of Harvard.

Autism fair offers support, information autism for a lifetime,” Kelly Weaver said.

Crystal Lake-based Options and Advocacy’s Autism Program directs individuals and parents on how to access the resources that are available in the community.

“There is a lot of support; you just have to know how to find it,” said Winter Noe, autism program manager at Options and Advocacy.

Noe was quick to point out that an upcoming autism fair will do just that. The fair will be from 5 to 8 p.m. April 25 at Spectrum Support, 1575 W. Lake Shore Drive in Woodstock.

There will be vendors and other agencies who provide autism support or those looking for more information.

The number does not include private schools or therapeutic day schools such as the Alexander Leigh Center.

Experts say it’s important to note the CDC report counted only eighth-grade children in 11 states – Illinois not being one of them – and used data from 2010.

The prevalence estimates “cannot be generalized to all children aged 8 years in the United States population,” the report says.

But what those numbers represent to some experts is the growing need for autism

Expansion could boost village’s tax base diversity • EXPANSION Continued from page A1 fall, following years of exponential residential growth.

“With the new interchange put in place, we feel that this is a great location,” said Brooke Jones, vice president of corporate marketing for Weber. “We want to keep our factories and distribution together.”

Weber has operated a combined distribution and manufacturing facility behind the Jewel-Osco in Huntley since 1996. Jones said the company has been happy with Huntley and wanted to expand its operations within the village.

But the process to make that expansion a reality is

just beginning. The village would first need to annex a combined 131 acres east of the outlet mall into its limits before Weber can go through the village’s zoning and design process.

Once annexed, the newly acquired land – owned by Component Management Group – would include 89 acres for Weber’s proposed 757,120-square-foot distribution center. The remaining acres would be slotted for future development.

Weber would then devote most of its 625,000-square-foot facility behind Jewel-Osco to manufacturing. The converted manufacturing space would add 450 jobs, while the distribution center would add 75 jobs, according to village

talize on the new interchange, which for the first time opened the once rural village to interstate traffic from both Chicago and Rockford.

The village already has recruited companies such as Cargo Equipment in Elgin and Lionheart Engineering in Woodstock to relocate to Huntley’s industrial park along Interstate 90.

Weber’s expansion plan significantly boosts the village’s long-term goals of diversifying its tax base and adding a daytime population to entice retailers, Narusis said.

“We want to be a community where people can work, live and shop,” Narusis said.

“The more jobs we create in town, the better it is for the quality of life in town.”

estimates.

Construction on the global center depends on how quickly Weber can move through the village’s process, Jones said.

She didn’t know how many dollars Weber would be investing in Huntley for the moves, adding the company is finalizing business incentives at the village and state levels.

“It all depends,” Jones said. “We would love to say construction will be this summer.”

The job growth in Huntley would be one of the largest by a manufacturer in recent memory, said Victor Narusis, the village’s business recruitment coordinator.

Huntley officials in the past year have looked to capi-

Putin ups economic pressure on Ukraine Diplomatic talks set for next week

By PETER LEONARD and VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV The Associated Press MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin turned up the heat on Ukraine on Wednesday by threatening to demand advance payment for gas supplies, a move designed to exert economic pressure as Ukraine confronts possible bankruptcy, a mutiny by pro-Russian separatists in the east and a Russian military buildup across the border.

NATO’s top commander in Europe warned that the alliance could respond to the Russian military threat against Ukraine by deploying U.S. troops to Eastern Europe, but Putin’s latest tactics suggest he may be aiming to secure Russia’s clout with its neighbor without invading.

Speaking at a Cabinet session, the Russian leader voiced hope that diplomatic efforts to ease the Ukrainian crisis would yield “positive results,” an apparent reference to talks set for next week that will bring together the U.S., the European Union, Russia and Ukraine for the first time.

Russia wants the talks to focus on a roadmap for Ukraine that would include constitutional reforms to turn it into a federation and guarantee its neutral status.

Government intrusion stirs milk State Rep. Dan Burke, D-Chicago, has introduced a bill to ban raw milk in Illinois.

As of now, raw milk can be bought in Illinois only if it is done directly from a farmer.

There are numerous potential health risks when it comes to drinking raw milk. If the milk comes from a cow infected with brucellosis, a human consuming it can develop undulant fever, which can result in several weeks of severe flu-like symptoms.

The Food and Drug Administration lists listeria as a potential risk from consuming raw milk, along with vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Pregnant women run a serious risk of becoming ill from listeria, which can cause miscarriage, fetal death or illness or death of a newborn.

Raw milk advocates say those ailments are rare, and pasteurization – heating milk to kill harmful bacteria – also kills or damages essential nutrients. Some say raw milk tastes better. The Price Foundation – an organization dedicated to “restoring nutrient-dense foods to the American diet through education, research and activism” – believes it helps boost people’s immune system.

It’s important to note that the potential side effects from drinking raw milk aren’t going to cause an outbreak of these ailments. This isn’t a public health crisis, so why does Burke think the government should get involved?

We’re allowed to make our own decisions on what we consume – no matter how harmful what we consume might be. We’re allowed to smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, and we fully know the risks involved with that. Why should raw milk be any different?

The answer is it shouldn’t. The Illinois General Assembly has enough on its plate, chief among it our state’s financial crisis. Finish that ever-growing meal first before trying to wash it down with the milk of your choice.

People should be allowed to make informed decisions for themselves regarding what they consume – undulant fever and all.

Declining northwoods numbers If you like to vacation in Wisconsin’s northwoods, the latest census estimates showing that 14 of Wisconsin’s 16 northernmost counties lost population the past three years can be seen as a positive.

After all, fewer people means more wide open spaces for hunting, fishing, boating, etc.

But those numbers are far less comforting to those living in northern Wisconsin. Fewer people in those communities means fewer jobs, smaller and maybe fewer schools and a less attractive future for young people contemplating where they want to spend their adult lives.

Northern Wisconsin is a beautiful place, and most of us wouldn’t want to see it overrun by rapidly growing population. But we should want it to grow enough to keep it viable so its permanent residents can make a decent living.

That’s hard to sustain when more people die or move out than are born or move in.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Why progressive taxation To the Editor: Read in your paper the editorial rant against a progressive income tax.

By what distorted logic do you find the just above poverty and worker’s ability to take the family to a restaurant once a month equivalent to a millionaire’s ability to buy a restaurant once a month?

This is what you are saying when you say a flat tax is more fair. You go on to repeat that the rich are job creators. They didn’t get rich by being stupid enough to hire people (create jobs) to provide goods and services for which there is not a sufficient market. If the market’s not there, they will invest their excess in off-shore accounts, etc.

The lower classes, which spend most all of their money on goods and services, are the job creators.

If they have the money, someone will hire people to fulfill their needs, just as a smart investment.

Taxing the rich doesn’t kill jobs.

Taxing the middle class does. This is why we need more progressive taxes.

It helps everybody to leave more

money in the hands of those who will spend it.

COTA organizes communities across the country to raise funds that help pay transplant-related expenses and help families avoid financial ruin. Two-year-old Arianna Gillespie has received a liver transplant, and Gillespie’s family has turned to COTA for life-saving assistance.

COTA funds help with transplantrelated expenses such as food and lodging while the family is at the transplant center; transportation to and from the transplant center; co-pays, deductibles and medication expenses; and assistance with household expenses while a parent is out of work during the time of

All of these expenses add up quickly (often tens of thousands of dollars) and can stand in the way of a child or young adult receiving a life-saving transplant. But you can help.

April is National Donate Life Month. More than 120,000 U.S. patients are waiting for a solid organ transplant. Every day, 18 people die waiting for an organ transplant.

Now’s time to register your children for summer activities Registrations are open for most park district activities and camps for the summer.

Spots for many of these programs fill up quickly, so sign up now to avoid having a child with nothing to do this summer. Some programs offer reduced registration fees based on family need.

Before I get into activities offered by many McHenry County communities, I need to remind parents that if your child is struggling and his/ her teacher recommends summer school, that is the first priority for your child. I’m certain as a parent, you wouldn’t want your son or daughter to start the next school year at a disadvantage. He/she can participate in park district or other activities that are outside of summer school hours.

Day camps provide children with primarily outdoor activities for most of the day with children their own age. Activities may include swimming, canoeing, archery, arts and crafts and sports. Many of these programs offer before and/or after care options to accommodate parent work schedules. Pool passes encourage physical, outdoor exercise and keep everyone cool in the summer.

I strongly recommend getting these for the family.

Registration for most park districts can be done one of four ways: online, via fax, mail or drop-off.

Municipalities have park district or recreation center websites where you can view the entire 2014 summer activity brochure and obtain the registration forms.

This is not a complete list of all the programs available to our children, but here are some of the highlights: Crystal Lake parks is offering a flexible day camp where sign-up is week to week. One doesn’t have to commit to the entire 10-week program. The park district also offers a Summer School Camp, where children attending summer school will be driven to camp before or after summer school hours so students attending summer school may participate in camp activities. There is a traveling Art Camp, where the student spends one half-day for a week at their local park creating masterpieces. On May 23, the Children’s Gardening Program begins meeting one night a week and works with 4H Master Gardeners. Surplus produce will go to local food pantries. There are also early childhood programs.

Brochures for the Woodstock Recreation/Park District summer programs are to be mailed Tues-

TEACHABLE MOMENTS Leslie Schermerhorn day. A sneak peek of their offerings include swim lessons, bowling, gymnastics, babysitter training, soccer clinics, horseback riding, taekwondo, cooking classes and a half-day summer camp for ages 6 through 7 and 7 through 12 at Olson School. Other activities include “Canvas Craze” painting, golf, tennis, volleyball and dance.

The city of McHenry Parks and Recreation is accepting registration now for its summer programs.

McHenry is offering a variety of camps, youth sports leagues, dance and aquatic classes. Unusual features are the open track meets, where youngsters are matched up against children of their own age and gender in track and field events.

Even more unique is the Run and Roll Track Meet, where the physically and visually impaired may compete.

The Cary parks website posts resident registration starts Monday.

Cary has early childhood programs, swim lessons, lifeguard training, horsemanship, skateboard lessons,

drama and a variety of camps.

Camp Echo seems to be the jewel in the park district’s crown, having won several awards over the years.

There are two levels of Camp Echo, kindergarten through fifth grade and sixth through eighth.

Marengo Park District sponsors Camp Arrowhead, with extended day options, and the Chicago Fire Soccer Summer Camp. There also are many sport activities, including basketball ball-handling, junior basketball, T-ball for ages 4 through 5 and 6 through 7, all types of horseback riding lessons, a Teddy Bear Picnic and roller hockey.

Harvard Parks and Recreation has a 7,000-square-foot pool that was built in 2001 and is handicapped accessible.

Park districts are not the only source of summer activities for young people. Don’t forget your local library summer reading programs, local 4H programs, Boy and Girl Scouts camps and Girls on the Run chapters.

To give your child a college experience, McHenry County College is offering a College and Career Readiness Program for grades one through nine. TECH Camp includes six four-day sessions of STEM curriculum – science technology,

engineering and math. MCC also offers a host of Summer Academy classes, including broadcasting, pre-algebra/algebra, Zainy Brainy writing workshop, Lego animation, 3D paper engineering and website creation.

Class schedules are flexible and registration for MCC courses begins Friday.

After doing the research on summer activities offered for children in McHenry County, it is evident there are many talented, dedicated and energetic people working for our kids.

Many McHenry County communities have summer concerts in the park.

Woodstock’s summer band concerts are on Wednesdays, McHenry’s and Cary’s are on Thursdays, and in Crystal Lake, the concerts are held Tuesdays on the Main Beach.

These are a great, free opportunity for your family to be together and enjoy sharing music and beautiful summer nights.

So pack a picnic or grab an ice cream cone, lie down on an old blanket, look at the stars and live in the moment.

2 still in jail on sex charges Police believe Woodstock students were drinking at time of alleged assault

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Police believe Woodstock High School students were drinking alcohol when they allegedly sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl, videotaped it and posted the footage on Facebook.

The alleged victim, who is from McHenry County but

James Cornelius

Corion V. Simpson

not from Woodstock, also is believed to have been consuming alcohol.

Corion V. Simpson and James Cornelius, both 18 and of Woodstock, remained in custody Wednesday in lieu of $80,000 bond. Two other juveniles who also were charged had been released to their parents.

A sexual assault awareness advocate said the case sounds all too familiar – sexual violence where alcohol

was involved.

“If a survivor is drinking alcohol, that is not an excuse for someone to lay a hand on her,” said Shelley Pier, services manager at the Care Center, a rape crisis center in McHenry County.

All four teens were arrested at noon Tuesday.

Reduce paper use. Use rags instead of paper towels and cloth napkins. Buy post-consumer recycled paper and recycle it when you’ve used it. Refurbish responsibly. Use water-based or vegetable-based paints, stains and varnishes.

Don’t wash paint thinners, household cleaners, oil or pesticides down the drain or pour them on the ground; use them up, give leftovers to friends or a charity, or dispose of them at your local toxic waste disposal center. Repair instead of replace. Reupholster furniture.

Resole your shoes. Replace disposable goods with renewable ones. Buy rechargeable batteries. Use dishes instead of paper plates.

Officials say blaze originated on a grill; one house uninhabitable

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Officials say a fire that left one rural Crystal Lake home uninhabitable and another charred originated on a grill.

Flames engulfed a home at 4230 Riverside Drive

on Wednesday afternoon and spread to a neighboring house at 4228 Riverside Drive.

A Level 3 MABAS box alert was called for the fire.

The MABAS box alert was upgraded twice after the first responders arrived on scene.

No civilians or firefight-

ers were injured during the blaze.

The original call came for a grill fire at about 3:44 p.m., according to Bill Hoover, chief of Nunda Rural Fire Protection District.

Three minutes later, callers reported the house was on fire and that the blaze was spreading to the nearby

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Former Cary Deputy Police Chief Ed Fetzer and his wife Mary are suing WalMart Stores Inc. after Mary Fetzer slipped on a slick surface at the Crystal Lake location last year and suffered permanent brain damage.

Reasons for Ed Fetzer’s departure from the Cary Police Department in November were unknown at the time, but the Fetzers’ lawyer, John Galarnyk, said Ed Fetzer had to take

an early retirement to care for his wife full time because of the severity of the injuries.

Mary Fetzer suffered the injuries on March 5, 2013, during a trip to the Walmart on Route 31. According to the lawsuit, she was walking down an aisle away from the pharmacy window after picking up a prescription when she slipped on water dripping from a leaking skylight and fractured her skull.

Galarnyk said no warning signage was displayed and precautions were not taken by the store to warn customers of the slick surface and faulty skylight.

“The store had so many of these kinds of leaking areas where water was dripping on the floor and making it slippery,” Galarnyk said. “When we

asked employees they said it has been leaking forever.

You’ll see orange cones in areas now but that’s it. We want to make people aware of what is going on at the store.”

Galarnyk said customers and employees should also be vigilant and aware of leaks at other locations because Crystal Lake is not the only location with the issues.

Since the injury, Galarnyk said Mary Fetzer has dealt with speech impediments, vision loss, balance loss, personality disorders and other challenges. She can no longer work or drive and just returned Wednesday from six weeks of intense therapy at a Veterans Affairs Hospital in Minnesota.

JOHNSBURG – About 13 teaching positions and one administrative position have been cut as District 12 works to rein in a million-dollar deficit.

Departments and grade levels across all four buildings were affected by the elimination of 14.12 positions, Superintendent Dan Johnson said Wednesday.

Johnsburg High School also will have one assistant principal going forward instead of two.

While dropping enrollment will keep some class sizes from climbing, others will be affected, growing by two, three or maybe four students, he said.

The district had about 175 teaching positions this school year.

The cuts will translate to about $671,000 in savings,

“We’re early in the budgeting process so more [cuts] may come throughout the spring and the summer and when we see what happens in Springfield.”

Dan Johnson Superintendent in District 12 Johnson said.

“We’re early in the budgeting process so more [cuts] may come throughout the spring and the summer and when we see what happens in Springfield,” he said, pointing to a multi-year deterioration in general state aid to school districts that has been exasperated by declining enrollment.

McHENRY: REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY USE PERMIT

City Council rejects tattoo parlor’s application

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A third tattoo parlor will not be opening in McHenry – at least not yet.

The McHenry City Council rejected in a 6-1 vote an application from Skin Rites Custom Tattoos, a tattoo and piercing shop looking for a temporary use permit so it can open ahead of receiving a formal variance.

Temporary use permits had been granted to three other tattoo parlors that have opened in the city in the past year and a half, including one a few doors down from Skin Rites’ proposed location that was owned by one of Skin Rites’ owners and has since closed.

All three businesses eventually received a thumbs-up from the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission and the

City Council for the more permanent variance.

This is the way Nathan Ryan, one of Skin Rites’ owners, said he was told to proceed with the variance process.

His goal was to open a “higher end, completely artistic option” for those seeking tattoos and to provide, perhaps eventually for free, cover-up tattoos for those with gang or jail house tat-

She has successfully rehabilitated some functions, but said it would be a lifelong struggle.

“I put my hope, number one, in God,” she said. “A brain injury this bad is forever. ... I just need to keep picking myself back up.”

The lawsuit was filed at the end of December and Galarnyk said there was a delay in announcing it until the location of the proceedings was determined. He said Wal-Mart requested the case be heard in

Galarnyk said there would be a scheduling order at the end of the month that would lay out the rest of the dates through the completion of pretrial proceedings. He is hopeful for the trial to start early next year.

While the complaint asks the court for an award in excess of the $75,000 jurisdictional limit, Galarnyk said the damages far exceed that amount and the

Goorsky grew up in the house and has lived there for 55 years.

He said he did not believe his two cats, which are unaccounted for, could have survived the fire.

Hoover couldn’t confirm whether the pets had been found.

He also wasn’t aware yet whether anyone was home at the neighboring house, which had charring on the outside and suffered “significant damage,” but was ruled inhabitable, Hoover said.

Investigators were still at the scene past sunset

Wednesday. Investigation units from Nunda Fire, the Wauconda Fire District, Crystal Lake Fire Rescue, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and the Illinois State Fire Marshal were on the scene, Hoover said.

The fire required responses from 36 units, including departments as far away as Palatine and Buffalo Grove.

GIRLS ON THE RUN Ansley Morlock Last week, my teammates and I were talking about gratitude.

We were going around the circle, sharing what we were thankful for. Gratitude means being thankful for what we have. I am thankful for food on my plate, air surrounding me, a house to live in, my animals, etc.

That day when we ran, we weren’t allowed to talk to anyone because we were supposed to focus on what we were thankful for on our own. It was really hard to do because people (including me) are very chatty. Being grateful is important so I’m not greedy, and when I show gratitude, people will probably follow my example.

There are so many things I

What are you thankful for?

“Honesty is the best policy,” one of my teammates said. We also were talking last week about valuing what is really important to us.

I would agree with what my teammate just said, but I also would disagree that it’s the best because there are more things, such as being trustworthy, respectful, positive, etc.

It felt a little weird to disagree with what someone else said because it was very true, too. A Girls on the Run girl stands up for what she believes in, and that’s what my friend just did. Other people should follow her example. I respect her opinion because she had enough self-confidence and courage to say what she thought.

The district has struggled to address maintenance issues under its financial constraints, which include nonexistent fund

balances and dropping enrollment.

Unexpected maintenance projects have pushed the district over budget multiple times.

Any money the district gets through the bonds cannot go toward staffing and will be restricted to facility improvements and maintenance due to the language of the voter-approved referendum.

A decision hasn’t been made by the school board yet on when the district will seek bonds.

WOODSTOCK: VICTIM RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL

WOODSTOCK: PROGRAMS OFFERED

Woodstock man charged in alcohol-fueled stabbing

MCCD organizes family-friendly events

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A latenight, alcohol-fueled argument at a Woodstock apartment complex led to a stabbing earlier this week, police said.

Christopher M. Hayes, 29, of 421 Third St., Woodstock, has been charged with aggravated battery, a Class 3 felony, in the incident.

Police were called to the emergency room of Centeg-

ra Hospital – Woodstock at 12:18 a.m. Monday after the victim – a 28-year-old male – walked in for treatment of his wounds, according to a news release from the Woodstock Police Department.

Christopher After an inM. Hayes vestigation, po29 lice determined the stabbing occurred at the Prairie View

Apartment Community, 411 Leah Lane, Woodstock. The two knew each other, but police aren’t aware of any bad blood between them before the evening began, Police Chief Robert Lowen said.

Both subjects had been drinking, he said.

“They were both indulging in alcohol and an argument ensued and they started wrestling around,” Lowen said.

Hayes pulled a non-folding, 6-inch combat knife that

he typically carries with him in a sheath, Lowen said.

The victim suffered two stab wounds to the back, Lowen said.

He was released from the hospital early Monday morning.

Hayes was arrested Tuesday and taken to the McHenry County Jail, where he remains in custody as of Wednesday morning, the release said.

Prudential Starck, McHenry County’s largest real estate company, has joined Warren Buffett-owned Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.

The move, marked with a ceremony Wednesday at the company’s corporate offices in Palatine, will further strengthen Prudential Starck’s brand recognition and will put the company in position to expand farther into the region, President and CEO Andy Starck said.

“We’re beyond excited,” he said.

“It’s a game changer.”

The move comes less than two years after Prudential Starck began taking hold of the McHenry County real estate market. In August 2012,

the company bought Crystal Lakebased Prudential First Realty and its roughly 80 brokers, and then in December 2013, it purchased Woodstock’s Harding Real Estate and added their 15-20 brokers.

“We’ve wanted for years to be out in McHenry County,” Starck said.

“We’ve sold a lot of real estate there without having a physical presence.”

Now, Starck estimates his company represents 18-20 percent of the real estate market in McHenry County.

“We are hoping for the new brand to help us continue to grow,” Starck said. “We’d be disappointed if we didn’t experience that.”

Starck, whose company has 13 offices in the Chicago suburbs, said that while the majority of northern Illinois has seen a dip in sales this March

compared with a year ago, McHenry County has been the exception. After a fourth quarter dip, March home sales were up in McHenry County, and Starck expects that trend to continue as the economy improves.

“Ultimately, people will start to come back out to McHenry County,” he said. “They will see home prices a little cheaper and will head out a little further. They will travel a little bit more.”

The 54-year-old company, which now will be called Berkshire Hathaway HomeService Starck Real Estate, plans to expand into Belvidere and Rockford, as well as DuPage County, Starck said.

“We’ve always been a suburban company,” he said. “We’re expecting to pick up the pace on our growth.”

Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 6.39 million vehicles globally for a variety of problems spanning nearly 30 models in Japan, the U.S., Europe and other places.

Under pressure Toyota recalls 1.8 million vehicles in the U.S.

By YURI KAGEYAMA The Associated Press TOKYO – Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling nearly 1.8 million vehicles in the U.S. for various safety problems, including air bags that may fail to deploy.

The Japanese automaker announced the U.S. recall Wednesday as part of a broader recall of 6.39 million vehicles – and 27 Toyota models – globally.

In the U.S., the recall includes: • 1.3 million vehicles with faulty electrical connections that could cause the air bags to deactivate. Included are the 2009-2010 Corolla, 20092010 Matrix, 2008-2010 Highlander, 2009-2010 Tacoma, 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris and 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe. If the air bags deactivate, they could fail to deploy after a crash.

• 472,500 small cars with defective springs in the front seat rails, which could prevent the seats from locking in place. Included are the 2006-2010

Yaris hatchback, 2007-2010 Yaris sedan and the 2008-2010 Scion XD. Toyota said it is currently working on remedies for the problems.

Dealers will replace the defective parts for free when replacement parts are available.

The Pontiac Vibe, which is made

by General Motors Co., is included in the recall because Toyota designed and engineered it for GM when the two companies shared a factory in California.

GM says 40,500 Vibes will be recalled, and says GM dealers will make repairs when Toyota sends them the parts.

The air bag issue is unrelated to a separate GM recall of 2.6 million vehicles for an ignition switch defect that can also deactivate the air bags.

The Vibe isn’t included in that recall.

Toyota said no injuries or crashes have been reported related to the recalls.

By region, the recall affects 2.3 million vehicles in North America, 1.09

million vehicles in Japan and 810,000 vehicles in Europe. Other regions affected by the recall include Africa, South America and the Middle East.

The recall is one of Toyota’s largest since 2009 and 2010, when the company issued a series of recalls totaling more than 10 million vehicles for various problems including faulty brakes, sticky gas pedals and ill-fitting floor mats.

Toyota is under pressure to announce recalls quickly after a U.S. government investigation found it hid information about past defects.

Last month, the company agreed to pay $1.2 billion to settle that investigation.

It also paid fines totaling $66 million to the U.S. government for delays in reporting unintended acceleration problems.

The company says it has “made fundamental changes to become a more responsive and customer-focused organization, and we are committed to continued improvements.”

Online security flaw exposes millions of passwords

By ANICK JESDANUN and MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – An alarming lapse in Internet security has exposed millions of passwords, credit card numbers and other sensitive bits of information to potential theft by computer hackers who may have been secretly exploiting the problem before its discovery.

The breakdown revealed this week affects the encryption technology that is supposed to protect online accounts for emails, instant messaging and a wide range of electronic commerce.

Security researchers who uncovered the threat, known as “Heartbleed,” are particularly worried about the breach because it went un-

detected for more than two years.

Although there is now a way to close the security hole, there are still plenty of reasons to be concerned, said David Chartier, CEO of Codenomicon. A small team from the Finnish security firm diagnosed Heartbleed while working independently from another Google Inc. researcher who also discovered the threat.

“I don’t think anyone that had been using this technology is in a position to definitively say they weren’t compromised,” Chartier said.

Chartier and other computer security experts are advising people to consider changing all their online passwords.

“I would change every password everywhere because it’s possible something was sniffed out,” said

Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer for Qualys, a maker of security-analysis software. “You don’t know because an attack wouldn’t have left a distinct footprint.”

But changing the passwords won’t do any good, these experts said, until the affected services install the software released Monday to fix the problem. That puts the onus on the Internet services affected by Heartbleed to alert their users to the potential risks and let them know when the Heartbleed fix has been installed so they can change their passwords.

“This is going to be difficult for the average guy in the streets to understand, because it’s hard to know who has done what and what is safe,” Chartier said.

See SECURITY FLAW, page B6

CRYSTAL LAKE – The boards of directors for the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce have picked Mary Margret Maule to lead the business membership organization.

Maule has public- and privatesector experience serving in Illinois state government, nonprofit organizations and local business and service organizations. She is an adjunct faculty member at McHenry County College and will finish out the school year before fully committing to the chamber position May 9, according to a news release.

Maule is the president of the board of the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of McHenry County and 2010 graduate of Leadership Greater McHenry County. She is active in veteran-related causes and is the founder and facilitator of Voices of Veterans, a writing group open to veterans and their families. She lives in Johnsburg with her husband of 28 years, Jack. They have three adult children.

Maule was chosen from a field of more than 20 candidates in nationwide search directed by the chamber selection committee over the past several months.

A meet and greet mixer to welcome Maule will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. April 22 at the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce Building, 427 W. Virgina St. The event is open to the public.

Data brokers disciplined over consumer protections WASHINGTON – It’s tough enough landing a job these days.

So imagine if that background check provided to your potential employer wrongly identified you as a possible sex offender.

That’s what the Federal Trade Commission says happened in a case it’s settling with InfoTrack Information Services of Deerfield. The company provides employment background screening services.

The commission said InfoTrack gave inaccurate information suggesting job applicants potentially were registered sex offenders.

The civil penalty against InfoTrack calls for a $1 million payment.

But everything except $60,000 is suspended for inability to pay.

Some ‘boomerang buyers’ return to real estate market There are all sorts of names given to different segments of population: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, Millennials, all come to mind.

In the lending world, there are classes of loans based on a person’s credit score: prime, subprime and even letter grades of “paper” with “A” being given to the highest credit scores. The latest name being thrown around is “boomerang buyers.” This is the way to classify those people who, for any number of reasons, lost a home either through foreclosure or short sale in the last few years and are now able to purchase again – those who are ready to rebound or “boomerang” back into homeownership.

Depending on circumstances, it may take up to 7 years for a distressed sale to come off a person’s credit report. In some instances, though, it may be as quick as 3 years and since the housing downturn has been ongoing since about 2006, this means many of those who lost their

REAL ESTATE Jim Haisler homes early, may qualify for a home mortgage now. Some estimates suggest there are millions of people who may qualify already.

Homeownership is, after all, the American Dream. Many see homeownership as a key to building wealth, and for good reason. Statistically, owning a home is the best way for the average American to produce wealth; it is an investment we all wish to share in. No doubt, of course, that many people were hit hard when the economy collapsed a few years back and few would argue the sting isn’t gone yet. That being said, the economy is improving and the housing market definitely is moving forward.

Today, there is a lack of property available for sale. Two years ago in McHenry County, there were double-digit levels of inventory.

Meaning, at the rate houses were selling and with the number of homes on the market, it would have taken years to sell off everything that was on the market. As of Feb. 28, there was just 4.5 month’s supply available, which suggests more homes are being sold and fewer are coming on the market. The National Association of Realtors suggests a balanced market is around 6 month’s supply.

So, have we swung to a seller’s market? In several towns and price ranges, we have.

Back to those “boomerangs.”

What about them? It is critical to watch this segment. Many of them currently are renting property, which drove the rental rates upward in recent years. As these buyers begin to change their patterns from renting back to owning, they will push the demand curve harder and possibly force the market into a seller’s market again. Will there be a mini-boom such as in 2004-05?

I doubt it. But that being said, real

estate agents are telling me now that multiple offers on some of the lowerpriced homes is quite common. The difference is that we haven’t seen any real price increases hit, at least yet.

How are these boomerang buyers qualifying for loans? There are several factors. One is strictly time. As mentioned, it takes an 3 to 7 years for a person’s credit score to rebound after major hits such foreclosure or short sale (which both affect one’s credit nearly the same on their own). But lenders are loosening their belts. Government bank auditors are allowing banks to start reducing the acceptable credit scores known as QM or Qualified Mortgage requirements. In the heat of the hard times most banks required credit scores at 720 or above to qualify. Today, that score has dropped to 680.

Additionally, state programs such as the Welcome Home Illinois program offered through the Illinois Housing Development Authority

give $7,500 forgivable loans to firsttime buyers (defined as someone who hasn’t owned a home in the past 3 years) to help with down payments. This program accepts credit scores as low as 620 and offers discounted fixed interest rates (3.99 percent today). You might be amazed at how little money you really need to buy a home today.

The bottom line is if you had some trouble a couple of years ago, pull your credit report for free and find out what your credit score is now. If you’ve been paying your bills, your score has likely increased. Talk to a real estate agent or lender to find out if you qualify for a loan. Start rebuilding wealth and live the American Dream of homeownership.

About two-thirds of servers rely on OpenSSL U.S. stocks rally on Fed • SECURITY FLAW minutes, earnings news Continued from page B5

Yahoo Inc., which boasts more than 800 million users worldwide, is among the Internet services that could be potentially hurt by Heartbleed. The Sunnyvale, Calif., company said most of its most popular services – including sports, finance and Tumblr – had been fixed, but work was still being done on other products that it didn’t identify in a statement Tuesday.

“We’re focused on providing the most secure experience possible for our users worldwide and are continuously working to protect our users’ data,” Yahoo said.

Heartbleed creates an opening in SSL/TLS, an encryption technology marked by the small, closed padlock and “https:” on Web brows-

ers to signify that traffic is secure. The flaw makes it possible to snoop on Internet traffic even if the padlock had been closed. Interlopers could also grab the keys for deciphering encrypted data without the website owners knowing the theft had occurred, according to security researchers.

The problem affects only the variant of SSL/TLS known as OpenSSL, but that happens to be one of the most common on the Internet.

About two-thirds of Web servers rely on OpenSSL, Chartier said. That means the information passing through hundreds of thousands of websites could be vulnerable, despite the protection offered by encryptions. Beside emails and chats, OpenSSL is also used to secure virtual private networks, which are used by employees to connect with

corporate networks seeking to shield confidential information from prying eyes.

Heartbleed exposed a weakness in encryption at the same time that major Internet services such as Yahoo, Google, Microsoft and Facebook are expanding their usage of technology to reassure the users about the sanctity of their personal data. The additional security measures are being adopted in response to mounting concerns about the U.S. government’s surveillance of online activities and other communications. The snooping has been revealed during the past 10 months through a series of leaked documents from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

Despite the worries raised

by Heartbleed, Codenomicon said many large consumer sites aren’t likely to be affected because of their “conser-

vative choice” of equipment and software. “Ironically, smaller and more progressive services or those who have upgraded to (the) latest and best encryption will be affected most,” the security firm said in a blog post.

Although it may take months for smaller websites to install the Heartbleed fix, Chartier predicted all the major Internet services will act quickly to protect their reputations.

In a Tuesday post announcing it had installed the Heartbleed fix, Tumblr offered its users some blunt advice.

“This might be a good day to call in sick and take some time to change your passwords everywhere – especially your high-security services like email, file storage, and banking, which may have been compromised by this bug,” Tumblr said.

By KEN SWEET The Associated Press NEW YORK – Once again, it was the Federal Reserve to the rescue for the stock market.

Major U.S. indexes rose broadly Wednesday, helped by a report out of the nation’s central bank that showed Fed policymakers want to be absolutely certain the U.S. economy had recovered before starting to raise interest rates.

Confident that the Fed won’t be raising rates until sometime next year, investors once again embraced some of the market’s more risky names. Biotechnology and technology stocks, beaten down over the past week, were among the biggest gainers.

Wednesday’s trading had one broad theme: risk on.

Investors sold utility and telecommunications stocks – which are usually less volatile, rich-dividend companies – and piled into areas that typically benefit from a growing economy: materials makers, industrial companies and technology stocks.

At their March policy meeting, Fed policymakers debated over when the bank should start raising interest rates.

Traditionally the Fed’s main policy tool for regulating the U.S. economy, short-term rates have been near zero since 2008 in an effort to encourage borrowing and economic growth, all of which is good for stocks.

Now that the economy has mostly recovered from the recession, an increasing number of policymakers believe it’s time for the Fed to start raising rates. The question is when.

BLACKHAWKS

Hawks fans keep streak going strong

Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia.com

Ryan Hartman, 19, was the Blackhawks’ first-round draft pick last year. After four years of playing in Michigan, he recently transitioned to Rockford, where he plays for the IceHogs. Hartman is from West Dundee.

Finding a comfort zone Prospect Hartman of West Dundee hopes to help Rockford

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com ROCKFORD – Ryan Hartman has been in town for only 10 days.

But, like with any sudden change, he needs time to get acclimated.

The 2013 Blackhawks firstround draft pick has already found a driving range that suits him. He’s still searching for hunting and fishing destinations that compare to the prime spots he discovered when his hockey career took him to Michigan for four years.

Now, four games into his stint with the Rockford IceHogs, the 19-year-old West Dundee native is still finding his way – on and off the ice. But much like the years since he left home when he was 15, Hartman’s life is built around settling into somewhere new.

“Obviously, the expectation is that we make [the playoffs]. So I’m going to keep pushing and try to push our team to get there.”

Ryan Hartman Rockford IceHogs winger

Hartman traded a comfortable house in Ann Arbor, Mich., for his own space at the Candlewood Suites in Rockford, where a maid makes his bed and cleans the room. He has started to find good lunch spots while he adjusts to a league where players aren’t in their teens, but instead have already spent multiple years in the NHL.

The IceHogs are in the playoff chase, dropping into the ninth position – one outside of the postseason – in the American Hockey League’s Western Conference after a 3-1 loss Tuesday night in Milwaukee. Hartman skated only one shift in the loss as he continues to learn a new system after recording 25 goals and 28 assists in 52 games with the Ontario Hockey League’s Plymouth Whalers.

Hartman’s marching orders have remained unchanged. The Hawks want the winger to play his game without becoming consumed with playing against faster and more talented players on a nightly basis.

“You’ve got to adjust to that,” Hartman said. “But overall, you just try to be the same kind of player. That doesn’t really change much.”

It’s about the only thing in Hartman’s life that has remained the same.

Growing up in hockey means that at some point, the game takes players from their homes. But when Hartman left West Dundee for Ann Arbor and a spot in the U.S. National Team Development Program four years ago, Kim Hartman wasn’t fully prepared.

Ryan Hartman had learned long before to travel on his own. But this time was different. Hartman would move to Michigan, where he would attend two different high schools between his two years with the NTDP and two seasons with the Whalers. As seasoned as Ryan was in adjusting to change, though, Kim didn’t like the idea of her son growing up on his own.

CHICAGO – Ben Smith knows what it means to play in an empty building.

OK, so “empty” might be a bit of an overstatement. But the Blackhawks’ 25-year-old winger spent parts of three seasons in hockey’s minor leagues, and he knows how it feels to play a game in a building that features all of the energy of a sleeping dog.

“I think a lot of Inside guys in this room will attest to it,” The Hawks Smith said. “But stun Montreal playing in Peoria with Marian on a Wednesday Hossa’s tying night or Sunday goal late in the afternoon …” third period and Smith smiled and shook his head Patrick Sharp’s as his voice trailed winner in overoff. time. PAGE C2 “You compare that to playing here at the United Center, and it’s a huge difference.”

Mega huge.

Fans judge players by all sorts of statistics, from goals and assists to blocked shots and penalty minutes. The greatest statistics are committed to memory – remember Wayne Gretzky’s 92-goal season?

– and passed down to generations of hockey fans.

It turns out that players can judge fans by statistics, as well.

And as the Hawks’ sellout streak reached 267 consecutive games during Wednesday’s regular-season home finale against the Montreal Canadiens, the judgment was clear.

“It’s going to be tough to beat this building,” Hawks winger Bryan Bickell said.

Mega tough.

Unless Kid Rock and his fellow Detroiters manage to build an extra deck on top of Joe Louis Arena for the Red Wings’ home finale, the Hawks will finish first in the NHL in home attendance for the 2013-14 season. The Hawks averaged 22,623 fans a home game, which leads the Wings (22,201) and Canadiens (21,273).

Meanwhile, the three worst home crowds belong to the Phoenix Coyotes (13,697), Dallas Stars (14,521) and Florida Panthers (14,568).

BARRINGTON 4, JACOBS 3

Eagles lose momentum, game

By KEVIN MEYER kmeyer@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The Jacobs baseball team found out exactly how fast a team can lose momentum in Wednesday’s nonconference game with Barrington.

After taking a three-run lead in the bottom of the third inning, the Golden Eagles surrendered four runs in the top of the fourth, which crushed their momentum, their mood and eventually their game in a 4-3 loss.

“I’m a little disappointed,” Jacobs senior Grant Kale said. “We just had that one inning that killed our momentum and our approach.

It just really slowed us down.”

Video online Watch highlights of Wednesday’s baseball game between Jacobs and Barrington at McHenryCountySports.com.

After going scoreless for the first two innings, Jacobs came out swinging in the third. The Golden Eagles (7-3) almost batted around, recording three runs on five singles, three in a row at one point, to take a 3-0 lead.

The lead was short-lived, however, as Barrington struck back quickly by batting around and scoring four runs in the fourth. Three of the runs came with two outs.

Despite some late scoring chances for Jacobs, the four-run fourth held up for the Broncos (93).

Jacobs starter Reilly Peltier (11) took the loss after pitching five innings and giving up six hits, four runs – two of them earned – striking out four and walking four.

Peltier was hard on himself for the inning that got away from him.

“I didn’t do as well as I should have today. It was just a rough game,” Peltier said. “I think I let my anger get to me in the fourth. I was really frustrated on the mound trying to find a strike zone every inning.”

Marian’s Taylor picks Illinois St.

The Blackhawks’ Marian Hossa scores the tying goal against Montreal Canadiens goalie Peter Budaj late in the third period Wednesday at the United Center. The Hawks won, 3-2, in overtime.

BLACKHAWKS 3, CANADIENS 2 (OT)

Hawks win in wild finish

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@shawmedia.com The Blackhawks kept alive their slim hopes for home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs on Wednesday night with a dramatic 3-2 overtime victory over the Montreal Canadiens.

But the suspense really lies in who the Hawks will face in that first series — a rather stunning development given how the Central Division standings looked just a week or two ago.

Colorado’s race with the Hawks for the second seed has suddenly taken a backseat to its race with St. Louis for first place. The red-hot Avalanche have moved within two points of the ice-cold Blues, each with three games left.

That means the Hawks might

Next for the Hawks Hawks at Washington, 6 p.m.

Friday, CSN, FM-87.7 wind up facing the Blues — the team that had been the league’s best nearly all season long until their recent free fall — in the first round.

No matter who they face, the Hawks likely will start on the road. But thanks in large part to Patrick Sharp and Corey Crawford, that’s not set in stone just yet. Sharp set up Marian Hossa’s game-tying goal with 47.7 seconds left in regulation, then scored the game-winner 43 seconds into overtime. In between, with

21 seconds left in regulation, Crawford (28 saves) made a diving save on a Max Pacioretty shot to get the game to overtime.

It was the Hawks’ fourth straight win (following a three-game losing skid), and their first overtime victory in 22 tries this season.

“It’s nice to be on the right side of the two points after the tough stretch we had a few weeks ago,” Sharp said.

The game was scoreless until Dale Weise gave the Canadiens a 1-0 lead 7:31 into the third. Jeremy Morin tied it with his third goal in four games, but Francis Bouillon took the lead back 22 seconds later, setting up the late Hawks heroics.

“Those last eight minutes were unbelievable,” Crawford said. “We were buzzing

around and it just felt like we were going to score there. It was a great finish to the game.

That’s the way we have to play.”

As for who the Hawks will face, that remains to be seen.

The Avs are 7-0-1 in their last eight games, while the Blues have lost three straight and have scored just five goals in their last five games. Colorado closes at Vancouver, at San Jose and at Anaheim, while St. Louis finishes at Minnesota, at Dallas and home against Detroit.

“You look at the standings, the Avs can catch St. Louis, we can catch Colorado – it’s going to play right down to the end of the season,” Sharp said. “I feel like we’re ready for all different scenarios, whoever we play, wherever we start.”

Kane practices, expects to be ready for playoffs • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Maybe someone out there will try to argue that the Hawks’ 267-game sellout streak isn’t that special.

After all, it’s easy to hop on a bandwagon and support a winner.

But what if the sellout crowds helped to mold that winner?

In other words: Which came first, the chicken or the hockey puck?

Hawks winger Patrick Kane has had to settle for being a fan since March 19, when he twisted his leg and limped off the ice with an apparent knee sprain. Kane practiced with his team-

mates during the Hawks’ morning skate and expects to be 100 percent healthy for the 100 percent capacity crowds in the playoffs.

“I think playing at the UC is obviously a benefit for our team,” Kane said. “Being at home [is significant], especially when a game goes to Game 7. You saw, last year, the series against Detroit. We had that homeice advantage, and I think it helped us.”

This time around, the Hawks might have to steal a few road wins.

The Hawks trail the St. Louis Blues by four points and the Colorado Avalanche by two points with only two regular-season games remaining. As it stands to-

day, the Hawks would visit Colorado for Games 1 and 2 to open the playoffs.

Sometimes, though, even a road game can feel like a home game.

“Our fans are worldwide,” Bickell said. “You can see it in different buildings.

“And at home, to sell out that many times, to have that support and have that edge against other teams – it’s kind of like a backbone being there.”

At some point, the sellout streak is bound to come to an end.

Then again, maybe it will go on for infinity intermissions. If Hawks fans can keep showing up despite an up-and-down economy and

one of the snowiest winters in the region’s history, then what exactly could cause the streak to snap?

“We hope not,” Smith said. “The way the game is growing here and how well this team has done over the last few years, it’s a good recipe for success. We want to keep that going.

“Just like we want to keep winning on the ice, I’m sure the fans want to keep that streak alive and show their support. We appreciate all of it.”

Mega appreciate.

Frankie Taylor was well aware that, in the volleyball recruiting world, defensive specialists often finish last.

Taylor, a 5-foot-8 Marian Central senior, reached the end of the whirlwind recruiting process last week. Taylor committed to Illinois State and will join the Frankie Redbirds’ ros- Taylor ter next fall on a partial athletic scholarship.

Taylor also was considering DePaul, Northern Alabama, Robert Morris in Chicago and LSU, where she thought about playing beach volleyball.

“It was very hard,” Taylor said. “I had a few offers on the table along the way, and I kept feeling like I needed to [commit]. But my mom kept telling me not to go somewhere because of the money. If I got hurt, [volleyball] might not be there anymore, and I needed to go somewhere that felt right.”

As soon as Taylor visited ISU, it felt right. She’s had positive experiences there as a high school player, too. Taylor helped lead Marian to a second-place finish in the 2011 Class 3A state finals, hosted

each year at ISU’s Redbird Arena.

Taylor is a defensive specialist for her Sky High club team and was an outside hitter at Marian. Having both sets of skills has made Taylor feel well-rounded – she even tried a short stint at setter as a junior – but she still prefers the back row, where she’ll play at ISU. Taylor had a particularly proficient senior season, leading Marian to a berth in a Class 3A supersectional and earning a spot on the Northwest Herald All-Area first team. She finished the season with 294 kills, 331 digs and 45 aces.

Taylor plans to major in business marketing at ISU and will report to Normal for summer classes June 2.

“It is very cool that Frankie made the decision to go to ISU,” Marian coach Laura Watling said. “[Defensive specialists] always go last, and even though she had the ability to be a hitter (in college), I know she wanted to be a DS. I’m really happy for her, and I’m happy she’s still playing around here so I can see her play.”

ISU was 19-13 overall and 12-8 in the Missouri Valley Conference in 2013. Former Cary-Grove outside hitter Ashley Rosch and former Harvard outside hitter Ashleigh Fisher also play for the Redbirds.

BULLS 102, TIMBERWOLVES 87

Noah paces Bulls with another triple-double

By JOE COWLEY

Next for the Bulls

jcowley@suntimes.com MINNEAPOLIS – At some point this summer, maybe, just maybe, Joakim Noah will be able to sit back on some beach, kick his feet up and actually think about what he accomplished this season.

Not now, not yet.

That was obvious after Wednesday’s 102-87 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, when Noah scored 15 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and handed out 10 assists for his fourth triple-double of the season and the seventh of his career, and only cared about one stat: another win.

“It was a good win for us, it feels good to play well, but the most important thing is winning,” Noah said. “We got four games left, just trying to stay focused, keep our mind on progress and everything else that comes with it is a bonus.”

Noah also surpassed Tom Boerwinkle for the most assists in a single season by a Bulls center, and while it was humbling for him, it’s again a thought for a later day.

“I feel real comfortable making plays for my teammates, being aggressive when I have to, just taking it day-by-day, trying

to get better in every aspect of my game,” Noah said. “All this stuff is just giving me more confidence and I just want more.”

The win was the sixth straight for the Bulls (46-32), but more importantly kept them neck-and-neck with Toronto (46-32) for that No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The fact that all Noah cared about was the team was just what coach Tom Thibodeau wanted to hear.

“Jo was terrific throughout,” Thibodeau said of his All-Star center’s latest performance. “The best thing about him is the winning part of it, and that’s what separates him from most. There’s a lot of guys that score more than he does, the rebounding is obviously terrific, but the passing also tells you how he sees the game.

He’s always going to hit the open man if you move without the ball and you’re open.”

Mother, brother moved to Ann Arbor, Mich., to be close to Hartman • HARTMAN Continued from page C1 “We were trying to keep the family together as much as possible,” Kim said. “We weren’t ready to let him go yet. I don’t know if you’re ever ready for that.”

So Kim moved to Ann Arbor with her other son, Tanner, who was 8 at the time, and purchased a home within the college town’s city limits.

Hartman’s father, Craig, made the trip over when he could, working at his job in Inverness during his week and reconnecting with his family over the weekends.

The arrangement wasn’t ideal. But this way, Kim could at least be there for Ryan while allowing Tanner to continue to grow up with an older brother. The Hartmans’ home away from home quickly became a destination for many of Ryan’s teammates, most of whom stayed with host families. But for Hartman, a little familiarity also provided a

comfort level that many of his teammates didn’t enjoy.

“As a player, you know that’s part of hockey,” Hartman said. “Growing up, even though you’re home, you still travel a lot – different countries, different states. But my mom and brother moving (to Michigan) made the adjustment 100 times easier.”

Kim made sure their new home felt normal. She regularly made biscuits and gravy – a Hartman breakfast staple.

Her chicken burritos became a regular menu item along with chocolate chip cookies and milkshakes. Although Hartman’s life in hockey came with a much different schedule than other teenagers, having a regular home life proved to be valuable.

He knew his family’s routine. He understood the rules – and the consequences that came if he didn’t follow them.

“It made playing hockey a lot easier,” Hartman said.

“It was just one less thing to worry about. You know when

you’re coming home from the rink, you know you’re coming home to your family.”

But when Hartman was called up to the IceHogs on March 30, it meant leaving an important chapter of his life behind. It was in Michigan where his game took shape and where he was drafted by the Hawks. Leaving that home behind became tougher than leaving West Dundee behind.

“It was probably the most important four years of his life,” Kim Hartman said.

In only a short time, Hartman established a connection with the home, building memories with teammates and family that he hadn’t in the 14 years he called the northwest suburbs home. Kim and Tanner had also established roots in Ann Arbor.

“It was very hard to pack up and leave,” Kim said, choking back tears. “You kind of felt like that was home.”

The IceHogs call-up offered Hartman the chance to come home. Before making the

move, Hartman’s only trip to Rockford involved a childhood summer trip to Magic Waters, a local water park. But in just more than a week, Hartman has committed himself to again adjusting to a new place and new teammates.

IceHogs coach Ted Dent won’t pressure Hartman to do too much too fast. Outside of watching Hartman participate in the Hawks’ preseason training camp and seeing him on film, Dent didn’t know about the talented youngster’s game. So now that he is only one step away from the Stanley Cup champion parent club, Dent isn’t interested in putting too much in front of Hartman.

“We just want him to fit in and contribute when he can,” Dent said. “But if they’re playing well and they seem to be able to handle the workload and the job we’ve given them and they fit in, then, they play.”

Hartman keeps the promotion in perspective, under-

BOYS TENNIS: WOODSTOCK 6, MARENGO 1

Ring’s improvement on display No. 1 singles player leads Blue Streaks

By ROB SMITH rsmith@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Playing No. 1 singles in boys tennis has been a challenging but rewarding experience for Woodstock’s Sam Ring.

Ring said the competition, especially in the Fox Valley Conference, is tough.

“It’s tough being No. 1,” Ring said. “I do my best no matter what.”

Ring defeated Marengo’s Nick VanVoorhees, 6-1, 6-3, Wednesday to lead the Blue Streaks to a 6-1 nonconference win.

The good news for Ring is that playing against quality opponents has improved his game.

“I play better,” Ring said.

“They bring out the best in me.”

By far the most challenging part for Ring is the mental side of the game. Trying to stay positive, no matter the score, is tough.

“When I get down on myself, I don’t play as well,” Ring said. “I play a lot better when I don’t beat myself up.”

Also winning for the Streaks (3-2) was Jason Car-

“Our guys are no nonsense,” Porter said. “We’ve seen much more confidence and improvement on technique and fundamentals.”

Nick Opie got the lone victory for Marengo (0-3) at No. 2 singles with a 6-1, 6-3 win against Cole Richter. Opie said his game is definitely more strategic than power oriented.

“I just don’t hit very hard,” Opie said. “I just try and get it back.”

Opie said his strategy is just staying in points long enough for his opponents to slip up.

“It’s really them making a mistake,” Opie said. “[My opponents] get a little frustrated sometimes.”

sello at No. 3 singles. Woodstock swept doubles play with Colton Ratkovic and Chris Cross winning at No. 1, Jack Fischbach and Mason Sutter at No. 2, Ryan Redemski and Armando (No. 3) and Ino Gonzales and Dillon Nerland (No. 4).

The dual meet originally was scheduled as a home contest for Woodstock but was moved to Marengo when the Indians had transportation problems.

Jake Porter, the Streaks’ frosh-soph coach, filled in for head coach Jessie Justice.

Porter said the level of play has improved dramatically as the season has progressed and they’ve had more chances to practice outside.

Indians coach Sonesacksith Siripanya said being consistent is a good strategy in high school tennis. “[Opie] does what he can do to win the match,” Siripanya said. “I wish all my players had the competitive edge like him.”

With 14 players out for the team, Siripanya said he feels like a college coach sometimes, spending as much time recruiting players as coaching them. He said he also has begun approaching middle school students about playing to hopefully establish a pipeline for future teams.

“I’m in my classes telling kids to come out for tennis,” said Siripanya, who is a teacher’s aide at Marengo.

Kale led the Golden Eagles offensively, going 1 for 4 with two RBIs. Matt Kozlak had two hits and Sargent, Hubner and Ben Murray scored runs.

The game was particularly important to Jamie Murray, seeing as how these two teams could meet in a regional later in the year. He applauded his team’s no-quit attitude.

“If we just rolled over after they took the lead, I’d be concerned,” Murray said. “We fought till the 21st out, and this group has a lot of great leaders and I know we will be fine.”

Athlete of the Week TARYN JAKUBOWSKI Huntley, so.

Jakubowski has been a force up front for the Red Raiders’ offense this season. She has eight goals, which is the top total in the area.

She also has added two assists to help the Red Raiders start 6-2-0 on the season.

She scored two goals in Huntley’s 2-0 win over Hersey early in the season. She then scored two goals in the team’s 7-0 victory over Larkin, and had the only goal in a 1-0 win over Crystal Lake Central on Tuesday.

“Taryn is one of most technical players I’ve ever coached,” Red Raiders coach Kris Grabner said. “To show that level of maturity at this age says wonders. Even though she isn’t a captain, all the older players on our team look up to her. It makes me happy as a coach to know that I get to work with her for two more years after this one.”

By PATRICK MASON Sarah Schaefer had only one hit Wednesday, but she made it count.

Schaefer hit a grand slam to lead the Marian Central softball team to a 22-0 home win over Suburban Christian Conference Blue Division opponent Walther Lutheran.

Schaefer also walked three times and scored four runs to go along with four RBIs. Teammate Mick Faunce went 4 for 5, including a double and a triple with four runs scored and two RBIs. Hurricanes pitcher Meredith Bryan picked up her first win of the season after pitching five scoreless innings. She struck out 11 and allowed two hits in the win for the Hurricanes (5-4 overall, 2-0 SCC Blue).

Sycamore 9, Hampshire 8: At Hampshire, Sycamore scored three runs in the top of the seventh to grab a one-run lead and held on for the win.

Haley Widmayer took the loss after allowing 10 hits in seven innings. Sara Finn had two doubles for the Whip-Purs (5-3), and teammate Peyton DeChant had three singles in the nonconference loss.

and Winzenried had two RBIs.

Grayslake Central 7, Richmond-Burton 4: At Grayslake, Rockets pitcher Kellen Leschke (0-1) allowed five runs (one earned) and took the loss in 4 1/3 innings of work.

Brian Wells and Drake Talles each went 2 for 3.

Talles had a double for the Rockets (3-2) in the nonconference loss.

Carmel 6, CL Central 2: At Crystal Lake, the Tigers (26) had three hits in a nonconference loss.

TENNIS Jacobs 6, McHenry 1: At McHenry, Jacobs swept all three singles matches and was led by Kailash Panchapakesan at the top spot, defeating McHenry’s Colin Condon, 6-0, 6-1.

Jaspreet Gill and Luke Leon earned the only win for McHenry at the third doubles spot. They won in three sets.

Belvidere Triangular: At Belvidere, Marian Central lost against Belvidere, 4-1, and Belvidere North, 3-2.

Marian Central was successful at the No. 2 singles spot, as Liam Stoll won against Belvidere for the Hurricanes at No. 2 singles and teammate Chris Daniels won at No. 2 against Belvidere North.

Jacobs’ offensive struggles: Jacobs has scored just two goals all season. Before Tuesday, the Golden Eagles (1-4) had been shut out in three consecutive matches. They were able to win Tuesday, defeating Grayslake North, 1-0. Goalkeeper Liz Foster got the shutout.

“We’ve been trying to focus primarily defensively to start this season,” Golden Eagles coach Stephanie Schuck said. “We want to focus on capitalizing on the other teams’ mistakes. It will take some time, but I’m confident we’ll get to where we need to be.”

Jacobs’ back defensive line has been getting stronger, led by Heather Hoffman and Mikaela Thomas.

Picking up their first win could result in a positive sign moving forward.

Gators happy to be home: Crystal Lake South scored one goal in its first three matches (0-2-1), which were played on the road. On Tuesday, the Gators got back home and broke out in a big way. South scored eight goals in a shutout of Hampshire. Not only were eight goals a lot for a team in one match, but an even bigger positive for the Gators was that eight different players contributed a goal.

Erin Woeste and Brandie Minogue led the charge with a goal and assist each for a Gators team hoping this offensive outburst will give it some confidence moving forward.

Warriors off to strong start: McHenry has won three of its first four matches this season. Part of the reason for the success is midfielder Alexis Morales, and coach Greg Eiserman said he doesn’t believe she gets enough credit for how she contributes to the team.

“She is our engine that makes things go,” Eiserman said. “She does so many things well for us, but it isn’t always something statistical, so the credit is not always there for how important she is to us.”

Eiserman is starting to see the girls buying into the “McHenry Way.” “We may not always have the most talented, superstar players,” he said. “But that doesn’t matter. We have our system, and if the girls buy in to it, we will always be competitive.”

This week’s top matches Cary-Grove at Crystal Lake Central 4:30 p.m. Thursday The Trojans come off a 6-0 win over Johnsburg, playing some of their best soccer of the season. They possess speed up front with Emma Baker and Carli Petersen, who lead the team in scoring. Cary-Grove will have a tough test against one of the best goalkeepers in the area in Caitlyn Dayton. The senior goalkeeper has three shutouts in her past four matches.

Woodstock at Dundee-Crown 4:30 p.m., Tuesday Woodstock started the season with three straight victories before losing, 2-0, to Prairie Ridge on Tuesday. The host Chargers look to stay unbeaten (2-0-1) in this FVC crossover match in Carpentersville.

Tiger-free Masters is a good thing – I think AUGUSTA, Ga. – So this is what freedom looks like.

Golfers not sweating the possibility of You Know Who making a charge.

Golf fans walking around Augusta National less concerned they’re missing something momentous on the other side of the course.

Everybody looking a little lost.

No red shirt on Sunday, no Lindsey Vonn in the gallery, no rips from the jilted caddie, no breathless interviews with the swing coach about a faulty shoulder turn.

No live shot after live shot of a certain golfer when he’s 10 strokes off the lead. No waiting for him to say something naughty after a bad shot. No watching him shoot 73 and then listening to him say he was this/ close to shooting 65.

No mentions of a messy divorce, dalliances with porn stars or a stay in a clinic for sexual addiction.

There’s something liberating about a Masters without Tiger Woods.

I think.

For those of you suffering from Tiger-induced chronic fatigue syndrome, this is the week you get to wake up with a skip in your step. Woods is out because of recent back surgery. It’s the first time in 20 years he will not be playing in the Masters.

Different is good.

I think.

Maybe not if you run CBS or ESPN. Or if you’re a Masters ticket broker who sees profits plummeting without the star attraction in attendance.

Or if you’re a casual fan who wouldn’t know defending champion Adam Scott from Adam.

Golf is always better with Woods around. But for once, for this one major, it just might be OK to be Tiger-less.

Oh, the players are all saying the right things. That they wish he were here. That it’s not the same without him. They could putt with their Pinocchio noses.

“It’s a weird feeling not having him here, isn’t it?’’ Phil Mickelson said. “He’s been such a mainstay in professional golf and in the majors. I hope he’s back for the other majors. And as much as I want to win and I know how great he is and tough to beat, it makes it special when he’s in the field and you’re able to win.’’

CBS’ docile Jim Nantz, whose trademark greeting of, “Hello, friends,’’ sounds like St. Francis of Assisi talking to animals, got a bit animated last week while responding to reporters’ questions about Woods’ absence.

“I don’t think the golf fan cares about the ratings,” he said. “I’ve never had anybody say, ‘Tell me about the ratings when Jack Nicklaus won in 1986.’ I never had anyone say, ‘(Phil Mickelson’s) victory was great in 2004, but too bad about the rating.’

“Yeah, we’re going to miss Tiger, but this tournament never has been about one player. It’s going to be thrilling, and I can’t wait to see what the next script is to be written.”

The script should come with an index of characters. A record 24 players will be making their Masters debut Thursday.

That includes 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, last year’s PGA rookie of the year, and 23-year-old Patrick Reed, who has boldly proclaimed himself one of the top five golfers in the world. Maybe he’ll turn out to be right.

“Twenty-four first-timers,’’ Reed said.

“Definitely shows that whoever is playing their best golf is going to win. Doesn’t matter if you’ve played here once or if you’ve played here 50 times. When it comes down to it ... whoever is playing the best is going to walk away with the trophy.’’

It might seem counterintuitive, but Tiger’s presence takes the pressure off other golfers – unless they’re in his group.

I’ve always wanted to see an aerial view of a course while he’s playing. It must look like a moveable rock concert, with a mosh pit wherever Woods is and what look like a few ants wherever he’s not.

He absorbs all nearby light. It’s not his fault, or at least not always his fault. He has been so good for so long that we turn to him reflexively. Now we turn and he’s not there. Now what?

There’s the question of whether he’ll break Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major victories (he’s four behind). There’s the even bigger question of whether he’ll ever win a major again. But we don’t have to follow that tired storyline this week.

We’re free. By Saturday, we might not like our freedom. But right now, it’s not so bad.

A guy could get used to this. For a week.

I think.

Cubs closer Pedro Strop celebrates Wednesday after the Cubs defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-5, at Wrigley Field.

CUBS

Bonifacio source of energy

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Emilio Bonifacio can’t really keep this up, can he?

The short answer: Of course not.

But how long can he keep slapping his way on base from the top of the Cubs lineup, keep stealing bases, keep leading the league in hits, keep the voices from the center field bleachers in his corner (“We love you, Emilio!”)?

And can it make a difference before the Cubs’ slow start turns into full spiral?

“One thing I know: It won’t be like that all season,” said Bonifacio, who singled and scored in the first inning Wednesday against the Pirates – pushing his league-leading batting average to .529 (18-for-34) and his league-leading on-base percentage to .568.

“I don’t want to think much about it,” he said. “I just want to keep doing good and try to help the team win ballgames. At the end that’s what matters.”

So far, it hasn’t translated into much run production – mostly be-

Hammel strong; Cubs win CHICAGO – Jason Hammel threw seven strong innings, Anthony Rizzo had four hits, and the Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-5, on Wednesday night despite allowing five solo home runs.

Signed to a one-year, $6 million contract over the offseason, Hammel (2-0) won his Cubs debut when he beat the Pirates in Pittsburgh. He got off to another good start in this one, retiring the first 12 batters until Pedro Alvarez’s first homer of the game tied it to start the fifth.

Mike Olt and Junior Lake hit back-toback home runs in the fifth against Wandy Rodriguez (0-2).

– The Associated Press cause of the Cubs’ lousy performance with men in scoring position, which is mostly because the Cubs did little to address that 2013 problem over the winter.

But at the very least, Bonifacio has been the brightest spot in the lineup in an otherwise dreary start to the season offensively – a source of energy, speed and multihit games.

And about the only certainty in manager Rick Renteria’s never-ending landscape of lineup changes, the only player who has batted in the same spot all eight games so far (though he’s played both center and second base).

“That’s really big,” Renteria said of being able to lock in a leadoff man in a largely platoon lineup – something Renteria may stick with even when the inevitable return to earth comes for Bonifacio.

“He obviously works the at-bats extremely well,” Renteria said. “How he plays dictates how we use him.

[But] again, his speed and his ability to play a lot of different positions allows us to use that slot for him.”

Bonifacio, who became available to sign the first week of spring training only because the Kansas City Royals needed payroll space and had infield depth, has quickly turned into a two-way value guy for the Cubs.

Making only $2.5 million, he was signed to fill a need, and has the potential to stick around beyond this year as a veteran presence in the lineup who might help the transition of some of the fast-rising prospects.

WHITE SOX

Garcia, Belisario hurt in defeat Rockies surge past Sox

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com DENVER – The White Sox’ first road trip came to a tough and painful close Wednesday.

Right fielder Avisail Garcia jammed his left shoulder trying to make a diving catch and could be out for a while, and right-hander Ronald Belisario left with a tight low back after getting routed for five hits in a six-run eighth inning that buried the Sox in their 10-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies.

The loss gave the Sox (4-5) a 2-4 road trip with two losses each in Kansas City and to the Rockies and two unwanted appearances by trainer Herm Schneider on Wednesday.

The biggest loss would be Garcia, who will have an MRI on Thursday in Chicago. X-rays for fracture, dislocation or separation were negative, but the MRI will be key. The 6-4, 250-pounder was in pain after the game and had his left arm in a sling.

The injury occurred when Garcia attempted to make an inning-ending, lead-preserving catch coming in on a sinking line drive by DJ LeMahieu in the sixth. The ball trickled out of

“Hopefully it’s just pain,’’ said Garcia, who had hit two homers the night before. “I want to be in the field soon, hopefully. I feel right now a lot of pain. Sore, too. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.’’

Belisario blamed the thin air in Denver for causing his back to tighten. He experienced the same thing when he pitched for the Dodgers, and said he will be OK as soon as Thursday. It did affect his delivery, he said.

Belisario gave up five runs on five hits, recording one out on a sacrifice bunt. Scott Downs (0-1) allowed a single to Justin Morneau leading off the

DENVER – D.J. LeMahieu’s two-run single broke a tie in a six-run eighth inning, sending the Colorado Rockies to a 10-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday.

LeMahieu finished with three hits, including an RBI double in the sixth that tied the game at 4.

The Rockies took two of three in the series from the Sox. Conor Gillaspie had a two-run single for the Sox in the fifth. Tyler Flowers and Adam Eaton also drove in runs with RBI singles.

– The Associated Press inning. Maikel Cleto (three strikeouts in 11/3 scoreless innings was the bright spot for a bullpen whose collective ERA climbed to 7.61.

Ventura tried not show much worry about his pen. Besides, he had bigger worries at the moment.

“Everybody’s got concerns but it’s still early,’’ said Ventura, who feared Garcia’s shoulder was separated. “My biggest concern is I hope [Garcia is] healthy, and nothing’s wrong with him more than what’s going on.’’

MLB NOTES

Angels’ Hamilton will miss 6-8 weeks The ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE – Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton will be sidelined for six to eight weeks because of a torn ligament in his left thumb.

The 2010 AL MVP was injured during Tuesday night’s game against Seattle on a headfirst slide into first base in the seventh inning. He remained in the game but struggled with throwing balls and gripping his bat. Ian Stewart pinch hit for Hamilton in the ninth and struck out with the tying run on base in a 5-3 loss.

Los Angeles said an MRI on Wednesday revealed a complete tear of the thumb’s ulnar collateral ligament. After initially saying hand and wrist specialist Dr. Steven Shin would operate at Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedics in Los Angeles, the Angels said Hamilton will be examined by Shin

on Friday to determine whether surgery is needed.

Hamilton was placed on the 15day disabled list, and outfielder J.B. Shuck was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Mariners add Paxton to DL: At Seattle, James Paxton is the latest arm in the Seattle Mariners’ rotation to find his way to the disabled list.

Paxton was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday with a strained muscle on the left side of his back.

The move was made after an MRI earlier in the day confirmed the original diagnosis of a strained latissimus dorsi muscle.

Paxton joins fellow starters Hisashi Iwakuma and Taijuan Walker as spectators for the surprising early leaders of the AL West.

Paxton left Tuesday night’s win over the Los Angeles Angels in the

sixth inning after feeling a twinge in the muscle. Paxton got the win, retiring 14 straight during one stretch to improve to 2-0.

Status of Rays’ Moore still uncertain: At Kansas City, Mo., the Rays were still unsure Wednesday whether lefthander Matt Moore will need surgery on his ailing left elbow after he was examined by orthopedic surgeon James Andrews.

Rays manager Joe Maddon said after a 7-3 loss to the Royals that the team was still awaiting results from another series of tests. Moore was getting a second opinion from Andrews after an MRI exam performed in Kansas City proved to be inconclusive.

Maddon did say that it appears the ligaments in Moore’s elbow were not fully torn. If that was the case, season-ending surgery would be a foregone conclusion.

Too soon to hit big water QB Siemian opposes unionization NORTHWESTERN FOOTBALL

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley as the sun begins to break overhead.

Unlike other times of the year, you don’t need to set an early alarm because the fish tend not to bite until the sun gets higher overhead and it begins to warm the water a few degrees.

Stay in bed for a few extra winks or have a big breakfast and an extra cup of coffee – 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. is prime fishing time these days.

Gear needs to be light.

Four-pound test line is enough to land fish. Floats should be as small as you can slip onto your line. The tiniest of split shot sinkers is plenty. Tiny No. 8 or No. 10 hooks are enough to hook any panfish.

Small is the key word for baits right now. Don’t put that ice fishing gear away just yet. Those micro jigs that worked so well through your drilled openings are just as deadly on open water right now. Spikes and waxies are great choices and only the smallest minnows are productive this early.

If “small” is the key word for spring fishing, “slow” is the other most important word. Fish are lethargic in early spring and don’t chase their food.

Whether slip bobber fishing or even using artificials, your targeted fish want it to move slowly.

The old adage at this time is, “If you think you are reeling slowly, well, slow down by half the speed you are retrieving.” Now that really takes patience when you are all amped up to fish.

NOTES Northern Illinois fishing: Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy

in Crystal Lake reports: “Crappies are showing up in the channels off of the Fox River and Chain. Use a Cubby Mini-mite with a wax worm or minnow for great results! Walleye continue to be caught at the McHenry Dam, Algonquin Dam and the Carpentersville Dam. A jig and a minnow worked slowly will trigger bites. Trout fishing at the Hollows (Lake Atwood) was good with some anglers catching some up to 20 inches. This is a good time to start to use cut-bait for catfish they are feeding on the winter-killed fish that have thawed out as the ice leaves.” Call 815-455-2040 for updated reports.

Boat electronics classes: Boat electronics guru Mark O’Neill will be presenting some excellent seminars in the upcoming weeks at Cabela’s in Hoffman Estates. “Understanding Your Lowrance HDS” will cover the basic setting up and operation of Lowrance HDS units. Topics will include: understanding of the basics of sonar and GPS; installation; functions; sonar and GPS settings; waypoints and new features of the latest software updates.

The class takes place April 12 from 9 a.m. to noon and costs $30 a person. To reserve a spot in a class please call Cabela’s at 847645-0400, or email Diane Schneider at Diane.Schneider@cabelas.com or visit www.structure-fishing.com.

An advanced class covering advanced set-up and operation of Lowrance HDS units takes place at Cabela’s on April 26 from 9 a.m. to noon for $30 a person.

Use the same information to register for the advanced class as you did for the basic session.

By ERIC OLSON The Associated Press Northwestern’s Trevor Siemian said Wednesday it was wrong for former quarterback Kain Colter and other players to explore unionization without first taking their concerns to their coach and administrators.

The school’s football players are scheduled to vote this month on whether to form a union to possibly bargain over better compensation, health insurance and work conditions. Siemian, a quarterback who will be a senior this fall, said during a conference call with reporters that players should have taken their concerns to coach Pat Fitzgerald and athletic director James Phillips before setting out to unionize.

“I’m treated far better than I deserve here,” Siemian said.

“Introducing a third party or

somebody else, especially when our main goals when this began ... there were issues with the NCAA that we thought we could address, and [unionizing] was one of the ways to do it. Nothing had been exhausted from within the school. Myself included, nobody ever addressed Fitz or Dr. Phillips about these issues.

“Two of these guys that all of us have come here and trusted so much – I’ve known coach Fitz five or six years now – to say I don’t trust you enough to help us out addressing these changes isn’t the right way to go.”

A regional director for the National Labor Relations Board announced March 26 that Northwestern’s football players meet the definition of employees under federal law and are allowed to unionize. The players are set to vote by secret ballot April 25 on whether to form a union.

Siemian said he would vote

no.

“I can only speak for myself,” he said. “I’ll say there’s a significant number of guys on the team who feel the same as me.”

Tim Waters, the political director for the United Steelworkers Union, which has provided support to efforts to unionize, did not return phone and email messages. Neither did Ramogi Huma, president of the College Athletes Players Association, which is working with the steelworkers on the bid to form the nation’s first union for college athletes.

Fitzgerald has told his players to vote against the union.

He declined to comment further Wednesday, although Northwestern filed its formal appeal with the NLRB and said it had “presented overwhelming evidence” at a hearing this year that its athletes are “students first.”

easier. Gordon said he talked with Collins several times before making his announcement.

8SPORTS SHORTS UMass basketball player announces he’s gay Derrick Gordon had kept his secret for too long.

He couldn’t be himself. He considered giving up the sport he loved. Because he was gay, he distanced himself from teammates.

“I was living Derrick life in shame,” Gordon the UMass guard said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “It took a toll on me.”

Gordon became the first openly gay player in Division I men’s basketball on Wednesday, making the announcement on ESPN and Outsports. Now he hopes to inspire others in similar situations.

Previous announcements by NBA player Jason Collins and Missouri All-American defensive end Michael Sam made his decision

Pistorius refuses to look at photo of dead girlfriend PRETORIA, South Africa – A shaken Oscar Pistorius refused to look at a gruesome photo of his slain girlfriend’s bloodied head Wednesday, telling a prosecutor through tears, “I don’t have to look at a picture. I was there.”

“It’s time that you look at it,” chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel said during a fierce first day of cross-examination in which he doggedly pressed the double-amputee Olympian to “take responsibility” for killing Reeva Steenkamp.

The 27-year-old Pistorius is charged with premeditated murder in the Valentine’s Day 2013 shooting of Steenkamp, who was hit three times – in the head, arm and hip – as she cowered behind

Spartans fan, cancer patient Holsworth, 8, dies DETROIT – Lacey Holsworth, the 8-year-old girl with cancer who befriended Michigan State basketball star Adreian Payne and inspired the team to make her happy by playing well, has died, the girl’s father said.

Matt Holsworth said Lacey died at their St. Johns, Mich., home late Tuesday “with her mommy and daddy holding her in their arms.” Lacey met Payne during one of her hospital stays two years ago, and their friendship quickly blossomed.

“Please don’t let her love and smile fade,” Matt Holsworth told The Associated Press in a text message.

With ample open water springing up all over northern Illinois, it’s time for shore fishermen to start.

There are plenty of bodies of water that contain plenty of frisky panfish, which seem to turn on first.

This isn’t the time for big lakes. This is the time to be hitting ponds, channels, backwaters, retention ponds, housing development ponds and industrial park ponds. Don’t forget to look for posted “no fishing” signs or ask for permission before treading on private property.

Why small water, you ask? What are fish looking for as they shake off their winter doldrums? They are on the prowl for warmer water. The north side of any body of water warms up faster than any other shoreline every day because of the way the sun rises.

There are other factors that can make certain areas on the north side better than others. Dark bottoms warm faster than sand bottoms. Objects in the water draw the sun’s rays and warm the surrounding water. Piers and docks warm the surrounding water quickly. Even objects like shopping carts and old tires draw the sun and warm the surrounding water, making these objects good targets for your casts.

My favorite area to test this warming water phenomenon is the areas where rainwater trickles into a lake, pond or stream. That warm rainwater pulls fish to the area like a proverbial magnet. Scout your fishing hole and look for these runoff areas. They are the best, especially if you can see some fresh weed growth covering the bottom of the area.

I know you are dying for open water fishing, because so am I. It will be hard to resist the urge, but it isn’t necessary to hit the water

Man is patient as independent Place limits on the time your woman struggles with intimacy kids spend playing video games Dear Abby: I’m a 27-yearold woman who never has had a boyfriend or been kissed. I never was interested in romance or having a significant other. I felt strong being independent and taking care of myself.

Now that I have a degree, a career and a house, I feel ready to try to let a man into my life.

I met a really nice guy a month ago. “Brian” and I have gone out several times and have a lot in common.

He’s a gentleman, and he says he’s willing to wait for me.

I have been having a difficult time letting myself be physical with him. Even hugging is uncomfortable for me.

I know it’s because I have been a shy loner my whole life, and I’m unaccustomed to being close to people.

Even though Brian says he’ll be patient, I can sense his frustration. Physical closeness should come easily if you like and are attracted to someone. I feel abnormal. I don’t know if I’ll be this way forever or get more comfortable the more I know him.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips I’m afraid Brian – and most men – won’t be willing to wait that long. I’m afraid if I don’t move faster I’ll lose a great guy and never get another chance. What do you think? – Blocked In Boise Dear Blocked: Being intimate with someone because you’re afraid you’ll lose him or it will be your last chance is the wrong reason. I think the sooner you talk with a licensed therapist about your lifelong shyness and discomfort, the quicker you can understand the reasons for it and overcome it. Your doctor should be able to refer you to someone.

If Brian is the right man for you, he will stand by you.

But if he doesn’t, you’ll be able to more easily relate to someone else.

Dear Abby: I am planning my wedding for the fall. My fiancé and I are paying for the wedding and reception.

I have worked at my job for a year, and I haven’t been treated well by a few co-workers. I am reluctant to invite these people because I’m worried about the repercussions if I do. I know they will judge every aspect because they did it to another co-worker.

I like a few of the people I work with, but I don’t know if I can invite only them. What do I do? – Wedding Planner In

Omaha Dear Wedding Planner: What you do is invite only those people you truly want to attend your wedding. It’s not necessary to apologize for it or to explain why.

If you are put on the spot and feel you must give a reason, say your guest list is limited because of financial constraints. It’s far more tactful than saying they are being excluded because they are rude, awful people, and you don’t want them anywhere near you on such an important occasion.

Dear Dr. K: My son plays a lot of video games. What do I need to know about them?

And how can I make sure they don’t become a problem?

Dear Reader: I’ve yet to meet a child who doesn’t like video games. But as you imply, this kind of entertainment has its downsides. I’ve talked with several colleagues who are pediatricians here at Harvard Medical School to help me answer your question.

Video gaming is a sedentary activity. This isn’t a big deal if your son spends less than a total of two hours a day watching TV or playing video games. But you don’t want media time to crowd out time spent being physically active.

Too much fast-paced video gaming can cause behavioral problems. Children who spend a lot of time playing fast-paced video games can have trouble with executive functioning. Such games throw a new stimulus at a kid every few seconds, and the child has a limited number of potential responses. Granted, most children are not executives, but many are future

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff executives, and the skill-set required begins to be developed in childhood.

“Executive functions” are the mental processes involved in planning, trouble-shooting and delaying gratification.

They are crucial for good behavior – and good social interactions.

Many video games contain a lot of violence. Exposure to media violence has been linked to behavioral problems and aggression in children.

Experts also worry about the effects on children of being the one carrying out the violence, as opposed to just watching it.

Friends and patients who work with children often tell me some kids seem to think the consequences of violence are not “real.” Or that, because “winning” in a video games involves successful acts of video game violence, being violent in real life will

make them “winners.”

Some children might get addicted to them. It’s easy to get caught up in making it to the next level and lose all track of time.

This doesn’t mean children should never play video games. But as with everything in life, common sense and moderation are key. Here are some ways to ensure video games don’t cause problems: • Limit the time spent playing them. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children limit screen time to no more than two hours a day.

• Choose games wisely. Pay attention to the age ratings.

Encourage games that are educational, or that require activity, such as dance competition games.

• Supervise – and join in.

Watch your son while he plays to see what the games are really like. Even better, play the games with him.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

AMY POEHLER, BROTHER GREG TEAM UP ON NEW COMEDY

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, April 10, 2014 • Section C • Page 10

PASADENA, Calif. – Another Poehler sibling is bringing his comedy to TV. Greg Poehler, whose sister Amy stars on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” stars in “Welcome to Sweden,” debuting July 10 on the same network.

He plays an accountant who follows his girlfriend back to her native Sweden despite having no job, friends or any idea what he’s getting into.

Poehler also created, wrote and serves as executive producer of the show based on his own life and shot mainly in Sweden. Amy Poehler, Will Ferrell, Aubrey Plaza and Gene Simmons make guest appearances as themselves.

The show debuted in Sweden three weeks ago, drawing more than 2 million viewers. Greg Poehler said it’s already been picked up for a second season and he hopes it does just as well in the U.S. Amy Poehler is an executive producer on the show.

Death of Ga. film worker ‘senseless,’ father said

Hillary Clinton book to be released June 10 WASHINGTON – Hillary Rodham Clinton’s new book on her time as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state will be released on June 10, her publisher says.

Publisher Simon & Schuster said Wednesday Clinton would share “candid reflections about key moments during her time as Secretary of State as well as her thoughts about how to navigate the challenges of the 21st century.” The book’s title and jacket design have not yet been released; the publishing date was released by the publisher on a website for the book: www.hillaryclintonmemoir.com.

Clinton’s book has been widely anticipated as she considers another presidential campaign in 2016. Clinton has been traveling the country giving paid speeches to industry organizations and appearing before a variety of constituency groups that comprise the Democratic Party. During a speech in San Francisco on Tuesday, Clinton said she was seriously considering a presidential bid and all it would entail.

“The hard questions are not, ‘Do you want to be president?’ ‘Can you win?’ The hard questions are, ‘Why? Why would you want to do this?’ and ‘What? What could you offer that could make a difference?’ ” she said.

Her new book and accompanying media tour will offer Clinton the opportunity to share her outlook for the nation and offer hints about another campaign. Clinton said during a March speech to a publishing industry trade group that her upcoming book will address the “rapidly changing and increasingly interdependent world” and 21st century challenges from “Crimea to climate change.”

“Just another light, summer read,” Clinton joked to the Association of American Publishers. Clinton said at the time that she was still working on the book, so the June 10 date would represent a quick turnaround by the publisher. Simon & Schuster declined comment on whether she has finished the book.

Clinton is scheduled to be in Chicago on June 10 to address the United Fresh Produce Association and Food Marketing Institute.

ATLANTA – Less than two months after his daughter was killed on a film set in southeast Georgia, Richard Jones grapples with waves of unexpected grief, such as a day last week when a riverside walk at home in South Carolina took him past a railroad bridge.

“The train came and I lost it,” Jones said, tearing up at the painfully fresh memory. “It just hits and it’s hard to say when it’s going to come.”

A freight train crossing the Altamaha River on Feb. 20 killed 27-year-old camera assistant Sarah Jones as it plowed into a film crew in rural Wayne County. It was the first day of shooting “Midnight Rider,” a movie based on the life of Gregg Allman, starring William Hurt as the Allman Brothers Band singer.

Jones’ death has galvanized behind-the-scenes workers on TV and movie crews to push for improved safety standards on film sets.

Their outpouring of grief led to the Academy Awards briefly showing an onscreen banner with Jones’ name and photo during its Oscars broadcast March 3.

Drake to host ESPYs award show LOS ANGELES – Drake is carving out a new niche as a TV host and will helm the 2014 ESPYs, the sports award show of ESPN. The Toronto-based rapper, singer and actor and the sports entertainment network announced the gig Wednesday. The annual light-hearted awards show will be held July 16 at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles and will be broadcast live.

Lorde, Imagine Dragons lead Billboard nominations NEW YORK – Newcomers Lorde and Imagine Dragons are the top contenders at next month’s Billboard Music Awards.

The breakthrough acts are finalists in 12 categories, thanks to Lorde’s Grammy-winning multi-platinum hit “Royals” and Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive,” also a multi-platinum Grammy winner.

Those smashes are nominated for top Hot 100 song against Robin

Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” Katy Perry’s “Roar” and Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball.”

Imagine Dragons is also up for top artist and will battle Cyrus, Perry, Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake, who is nominated for 11 awards. Timberlake’s “The 20/20 Experience,” last year’s best-selling album, will compete against efforts from Beyonce, Eminem, Drake and Luke Bryan for top Billboard 200 album.

The 2014 Billboard Music Awards will air live on ABC from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 18.

FXX plans marathon telecast of ‘The Simpsons’ NEW YORK – The FXX network plans a marathon telecast this summer of episodes of “The Simpsons” – all 552 of them consecutively.

The network said Wednesday the marathon will start Aug. 21 and continue into Labor Day. FXX programming chief Chuck Saftler said it coincides with the network’s purchase of rerun rights and the development of an app that gives access to every episode of the long-running animated series. Saftler said FXX will show four hours of episodes every Sunday this fall, up until the time a new episode is aired in prime time on Fox.

Rapper 50 cent ordered to pay in headphone case BRADENTON, Fla. – Federal court records show that rapper 50 Cent has been ordered to pay a Bradenton earphone manufacturer more than $16 million in connection with a failed partnership to produce the entertainer’s line of headphones.

The Bradenton Herald reports 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, was ordered to pay Sleek Audio nearly $4.5 million in attorney fees and $11.7 million in damages.

The U.S. District Court in Miami affirmed the award in late March after a three-year legal battle. Records allege Jackson, a Sleek partner, stole the designs of over-the-ear headphones he asked the company to conceptualize and manufacture. Jackson has been selling headphones of a similar design under the 50-Over line with another manufacturer.

Spring brings new life, projects to area remodelers Jerry Kuyper ST. CHARLES – Besides having an effect on new construction, the spring season brings with it the annual sprouting of the remodeling industry.

Somewhat dormant during the winter, new construction contractors and remodelers see an increase in business when spring fever strikes.

Mike Pudlik of St. Charles and Ron Cowgill of Glenview offered insights and warnings concerning the remodeling industry. Both are active members with leadership positions in the Greater Chicagoland Chapter of the National Association of the Remodel-

ing Industry. Pudlik is president of the Chicago chapter.

The two men carry the Master Certified Remodeler certification, which is the highest in the industry.

“There are three of us in the area with that certification,” Pudlik said.

“The third is in Chicago. Ron is in Glenview working the suburbs near him. I work the western suburbs, basically everything west of Interstate 94.”

Pudlik and Cowgill noted an increase in remodeling activity.

“There has been plenty of pent-up demand, and now homeowners are more confident with their position in the housing market,” said Cowgill, president of D&R Services Unlimited.

“Home values are returning, homeowners are comfortable making an investment to improve their home and the projects are getting larger.”

According to a Harvard University study, remodelers nationally expect double-digit gains the first half of this year.

This is good news for Pudlik and Cowgill, who relied on small projects after the 2008 economic downturn.

“We are looking ahead to quite a few room additions, kitchens and basements,” Cowgill said. “With the snow melting, we have had calls for ice dam removal, sump pumps, checking and installing battery backups. Area homeowners know they may have issues since they had them last year before spring.”

Pudlik, who is president of Legacy Photo provided Design and Construction, has small Mike Pudlik of Legacy Design and Construction in St. Charles is busy this and larger projects on the drawing spring with remodeling projects, including the addition of family and breakboard.

Designations outline expertise of remodelers NORTHWEST HERALD For a homeowner, deciding to remodel is a big decision. A consumer considering a major home improvement needs to know that the remodeling contractor he or she chooses is reliable.

The National Association of the Remodelers Institute has a certification screening and testing process to help determine reliability.

Only full-time remodeling contractors are eligible for NARI certification.

Remodelers are not eligible for certification until they have been actively involved in the remodel-

ing industry for at least two to five years.

That way, a consumer has at least some assurance the person he or she hires has had a few years to develop the experience and skills gained through hands-on practice.

Mike Pudlik of Legacy Design and Construction in St. Charles recently remodeled a kitchen in an existing Chicago suburban house.

Longtime remodelers recommend homeowners seek referrals from professional organizations • REMODELERS Continued from page E1 “While we do a lot of exterior remodeling, such as siding, windows and room additions, our spring projects involve working with the existing interior footprint of a person’s home” Pudlik said. “In fact, we have two family room makeovers we are designing. Both involve replacing and updating the old brick fireplace facade with veneer stone and surrounding cabinetry to give the area a fresh look. We also have several kitchens and bath remodels on the horizon for spring.

“We average between 10 to 15 projects per year, which translates into 10 to 15 families per year. Projects vary in size,” Pudlik added.

“We are a full-service design and remodel company. We do bathroom and kitchen up to whole house renovations costing $400,000 to $500,000. Typically the projects start off about $8,000 and go up from there. Finishing basements, putting on room or garage additions also are a big component of our work.

We can do the small and the big jobs, but we are no different than others as everybody in the industry does both,” Pudlik said.

Pudlik relies on subcontractors he knows and respects.

“People who work for Legacy have worked with us a long time and specialize in a particular trade whether it be plumbing, electrical, cement, carpentry or roofing. We use tradesmen who specialize in the whatever it might be.”

The kitchen now looks onto a family room after a remodel was completed on a Naperville house by Mike Pudlik of Legacy Design in St. Charles.

Tips for homeowners Mimi Altman, executive director of NARI Chicago, said that, before hiring a contractor, consumers also should request the following: Photo provided

A third garage was added to an existing two-car facility by Mike Pudlik of Legacy Design and Construction in St. Charles. Pudlik is president of the Greater Chicagoland chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.

To learn more Based in Des Plaines, NARI Chicago is a nonprofit trade association founded in 1987 representing remodeling contractors, product manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, trade and consumer publications, utilities and lending institutions.

For information, visit www.narichicago.org.

••• For information on Pudlik, call 630-933-9400 or 630-742-1631 or email remodelwithlegacy@gmail.com. His office is at 902 S. Randall Road, Suite C-247, St. Charles, IL 60174. west of I-94, his projects are in McHenry, Lake, “some” Cook, Kane, Kendall and DuPage counties.

“We try to stay within an hour or hour and 15 minutes of our work sites,” he said.

His term as president of NARI’s 130-member Chicago chapter ends Dec. 31.

“This is my second year as president and, unless I take it on again for another year, my term as president is up. Typically, it is a one- or two-year term.”

Pudlik has been in the remodeling industry 30 years, the past 15 with Legacy. That experience helped him earn

the MCR certification.

“Besides having multiple certifications (from NARI), including being a certified ‘green’ specialist, you have to have been in business as a remodeler for at least 10 years.”

Pudlik and Cowgill recommend seeking a referral to a reputable contractor from a professional organization, such as NARI. “Members abide by strict industry codes and regularly keep up with continuing education in their profession,” Cowgill said. “Once you have the names of a few good leads, research them carefully.

Ask for and contact several homeowner clients to gauge their satisfaction level with the contractor.”

• Proof of adequate worker’s compensation and general liability insurance coverage for the contractor and anyone else hired.

• Proper identification that indicates a permanent place of business and business phone number.

• Reassurance of financial stability. Ask the remodeler for bank, trade and supplier references, and contact these parties to inquire about the contractor’s financial solvency.

• A written contract proposal, given to you within a few weeks of your initial meeting, that spells out the scope of the project, the expected start and stop dates, exactly what labor and materials are included and not included, the names of subcontractors who will be used, any special permits required, payment arrangements, and notice of a three-day right to cancel the contract (required, per Illinois law).

• A warranty, expressed in the written contract, of the contractor’s workmanship and the materials used for at least one year from the job completion date.

• A realistic price. Be suspicious of any figure that appears too low or too high. Avoid paying a large deposit (a 10 percent to 20 percent deposit up front is typical, but may be more if a significant amount of custom-made materials are involved) or paying in cash only.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Edith Wharton was a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. She said, “One knows one’s weak points so well, that it’s rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them and invent others.”

One of the weak points of most bridge players is the inability to track the high-card points -- and that is arguably the most important thing to count during a deal.

How would that help East to ind the right defense here?

South is in four spades.

West leads the heart ace.

What should happen?

The auction follows Standard American. If you have taken up two-over-one game-force, North might rebid three spades (forcing).

Then South would probably settle into four spades, since he has a minimum opening bid. However, his secondary club it might make him wonder about a slam. Note that if, for example, North’s diamond king were the heart king, six clubs would be an excellent contract.

Since East does not want his partner to shift suits, he

should encourage enthusiastically with his heart eight.

Then West should cash his heart king and lead his third heart. After winning this trick, East should track the highcard points. The dummy has 13, West has produced seven, and East has seven. That leaves only 13 missing. South must have the spade ace-king and diamond ace.

This means that the defenders cannot win a minorsuit trick. They must get a trump trick to defeat the contract. So East should lead his last heart. When West ruffs with the spade eight, it effects an uppercut and gives East that crucial trump winner.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - It will take a lot of energy to meet the goals you’ve set. It will be important to accept help and to call in favors. Don’t be too proud to let those you’ve aided in the past return the favor. You will be respected for your perseverance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Gather together with friends who share your passion and vision. You can mix business and pleasure while collaborating on a new venture. Your final result could prove very lucrative.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take a backseat and relax for a change. Let others make decisions. Pick your battles and don’t let a difference of opinion turn into a major problem. Strive for equality.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your home and work environment will be filled with tension if you gossip or get involved in other people’s business. Stick to your chores and stay out of trouble.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you have ideas for improvement at your workplace, speak up. Even if your suggestions are not acted upon, you will gain respect and credit for making the offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your emotions are on a rollercoaster ride, with you tearful one moment and cheerful the next. Don’t let this instability lead to an impulsive decision that can influence a contract or promise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t reveal too many details about what you are up to. A colleague may be trying to get ahead at your expense. Someone who seems overly enthusiastic could have an ulterior motive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Keep an open mind today. A casual remark from an old friend will give new spark to your creativity. A trip to an unfamiliar location will result in a rewarding partnership.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You don’t appreciate being scrutinized, so don’t question what others are up to. Be trusting. Your relationship with friends, peers and partners will suffer if you display jealousy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Take a break from your usual schedule. Get out into the fresh air with friends or loved ones. A brief jaunt to a nearby park or nature trail will get your juices flowing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An elderly relative may be a burden. Look over your budget and see where you can make beneficial adjustments. Contracts, investments or legal matters should be dealt with now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The time is right for love. Take things slow and easy. You may be feeling romantic, but don’t come on too strong, or your special someone may take off in the other direction.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t waste time gossiping or sharing personal stories when you should be working. You’ll be criticized if you don’t finish what you start with efficiency and dispatch.

ALGONQUIN NATIVE MAKES JOHN HUGHES-INSPIRED FILM

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Filmmaker Kurt Larson plays Count Dracool in the film.

The “sexy” Count Dracool is the local “Horror Host.”

It all began for Kurt Larson years ago in a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at Jacobs High School in Algonquin.

The 1995 graduate’s performance drew laughs at the right moments, applause at the end.

“I was hooked right away,” he told himself. “This is my thing.”

Larson, whose mother, Claudia Presta, lives in Algonquin and father, Larry Larson, lives in Crystal Lake, knew he’d pursue acting.

And in many ways, in his head, he’d already started writing the movie he’d eventually make. His first independent film, “Son of Ghostman,” which he wrote, directed and acted in, was nominated this month for a Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award for Best Independent Film.

Decided by fans, the Rondo Awards recognize the best in classic horror films.

Oddly enough, though, at its core, “Son of Ghostman” is a romantic comedy – a romantic comedy based around classic horror.

It’s also an homage to makeup-clad Svengoolie, Kurt Larson the host of horror movies on Saturday nights on Me-TV. Played since 1979 by Rich Koz in a fright wig, top hat, mustache and goatee, Svengoolie presents sketches, tells corny jokes, and spoofs various science fiction and horror, often low-budget, films.

“That’s my guy,” said Larson, now 36 and living in Los Angeles.

“When I was a little kid, he just inspired me.”

Larson pursued his film despite being told it wouldn’t succeed.

“I wanted to make a movie kind of about what these guys do,” Larson said. “A lot of people think that’s a little strange, but I had

“SON OF GHOSTMAN” • To view the trailer and purchase the ilm (from $2.99), visit www.sonofghostman.com. The ilm also is available on instant video at www.amazon.com and www.vimeo.com.

• To vote for the ilm to win the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award for Best Independent Film, visit www.rondoaward.com. Voting ends May 5.

• For more on ilmmaker Kurt Larson, visit www.kurtedwardlarson.com. to do it. It’s who I am.”

The film’s more than a tribute. Larson set out to make a film with heart and underlying meaning, inspired by filmmakers such as the late John Hughes (“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “The Breakfast Club,” “Pretty in Pink,” “Groundhog Day”) and Cameron Crowe (“Almost Famous,” “Jerry Maguire,” “Say Anything”).

“This is really about trying to find out what you are in life and being OK with that,” Larson said. “It’s really a love letter to anyone who’s ever done anything creative.”

It’s a theme he knows well, having spent his life “balancing the stories and dreams we have in our heads with the practicality of real-life responsibilities,” as he writes in his director’s statement.

After high school, Larson went on to college “to make mom and dad happy.” He studied radio and TV broadcasting at Bradley University in Peoria, earning a degree. Six months later, he drove to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.

It took him about three years before an agent even spoke to him.

But three months after that, he landed a role in Steven Spielberg’s 2004 film “The Terminal.” From there, it was 2005’s “Jarhead” and roles in TV series, including “ER,” “Jag” and “Harry’s Law.”

He’s still auditioning these days, but his love of directing is taking over. The world needs more John Hughes’ films, he said.

“I think those films bring together large demographics,” he said.

“I think they matter.”

Despite the contrived plots in many of today’s romantic comedies, he said the meaning behind them – bringing a couple together – is important.

Along with writing “Son of Ghostman,” Larson created the film with a two-man crew, mostly filming in his home and at guerrilla locations. That means he and the film’s actors basically would show up at a location and film as inconspicuously as possible.

“It’s pretty ridiculous when you take your home and turn it into a horror host set, sleeping three hours a night,” he said. “That was a means to an end. It was, ‘We have to make this film.’”

He filmed in 2012 with “little money and little resources.” Childhood friend and Hoffman Estates native Kurt Gellersted (www. kurtgellersted.com) provided most of the film’s music. Larson spent about a year editing, released it last year and spent the past year promoting it. The Rondo Award nomination was an overwhelming surprise, he said.

“All of the other competitors in the field, they are more wellknown than us,” he said. “We’re definitely the most obscure of the batch, so it’s a nice validation. We did this film with no money and no stars. We just wanted to do it.”

In the meantime, Larson’s working on another film he describes as a nostalgic piece about growing up in the Chicago suburbs. It’s about a kid who dreams of being a comic artist, he said.

He also started the weekly podcast, “Stay Cool, Geek” to talk about insecurities, his ego and “how those two worlds mingle while being surrounded by various geek lifestyle choices,” he said.

“Something like that,” he writes in the podcast’s description.

“The search for his soul continues ...”

Growing steelpan festival returns to Crystal Lake

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Matt Potts wants you to think steelpan when you think Crystal Lake.

Based on the response to this year’s upcoming Great Lakes Steelpan Festival, he’s succeeding.

“The fact that we have five of the six bands participating in the event driving over six hours to come, we feel, is a strong indicator that we are achieving that,” said Potts, event organizer and band member of Potts & Pans, an internationally acclaimed steel band.

“We’ve got people flying out from all around the country, making the drive out, so we definitely feel we are well on our way to achieving our goal of having Crystal Lake become something people think about when they think about steelpan, not only in the Midwest, but in the U.S., in the whole country,” he said.

The Great Lakes Steelpan Festival starts at 9 a.m. with free band performances and workshops and concludes with an 8 p.m. concert April 12 at Hannah Beardsley Middle School, 515 E. Crystal Lake Ave., Crystal Lake.

It is promoted as the only music festival in the Chicago area specializing in the steelpan, also known as the steel drum, a musical instrument from the Caribbean country of Trinidad and Tobago. The steelpan originally was made

from 55-gallon drums formerly containing oil and other substances.

The drums now typically are built using sheet metal stretched into a bowl shape, with the notes molded into the surface Freddy Harris III using hammers, manually or with the help of air pressure.

The note’s size corresponds to the size of the oval. The larger the oval, the lower the tone.

Well-known steelpan performers and educators, including Gary Gibson, Freddy Harris III, Kurry Seymoure and Potts & Pans Steelband, will host events throughout the day at the festival.

In a new twist this year, all roughly 80 performers will come together at the end of the day to perform a song, Potts said.

“As far as I’m aware of, I believe it will be the largest steel band to perform in the Illinois area,” he said.

GREAT LAKES STEELPAN FESTIVAL WHEN: 9 a.m. April 12 WHERE: Hannah Beardsley Middle School, 515 E. Crystal Lake Ave., Crystal Lake COST & INFO: The region’s largest one-day steelpan festival, featuring bands from across the Midwest. Festival concludes with an 8 p.m. concert. Tickets: $5 a workshop, $10 all workshop, $25 all-day pass, $20 for the concerts. Tickets and information: www.steelpanfestival.com. represents one of the best steel band players and educators in the world, he said.

Potts & Pans will perform the world premiere of “Echo’s Revenge” by Bryan Garbe.

“We are continuing on with what we did last year with exposing new music that has been composed specifically for the steel band, which is always good for broadening the horizons of the guests that come,” Potts said.

Even those who’ve never been exposed to the steelpan will learn and gain an appreciation for the instrument and its capabilities, organizers say.

They wanted to fill a void in the Midwest, where steelpan performance and education events are limited, they say.

The festival also gives bands, such as Potts & Pans, a closer option when it comes to finding places to perform.

Potts expects at least three times the amount of last year’s roughly 180 participants and attendees at the event.

“We’ve got that in ticket sales already for this year,” he said.

‘RIO 2’ DAZZLING BUT OVERLOADED

By JESSICA HERNDON The Associated Press A vivid and delightful animated spectacle, “Rio 2” is chock-full of colorful 3-D wonder and jubilant musical numbers set against a tale of family dynamics and environmental dilemmas.

The sequel opens with a vibrant New Year’s Eve bash, as partying in the music-filled streets of Rio de Janeiro is punctuated by fireworks bursting above the Christ the Redeemer statue.

Supervised by composer John Powell, more emphasis has been placed on the music of this film, which benefits from numbers by artists, such as Bruno Mars (who also voices the smooth bird Roberto in the film), Janelle Monae and celebrated Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown.

After mating in Brazil in 2011’s “Rio,” rare macaws Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel (Anne Hathaway) now have three lively kids who have become accustomed to the same domestication Blu was brought up on in Minnesota.

They’re attached to gadgets, such as iPods and eat pancakes for breakfast, which irks the raised-in-the-wild Jewel.

But the family heads off to the Amazon rainforest, to Jewel’s delight and Blu’s strife, when they get wind that a tribe of blue macaws may live there and are being pursued by Blu’s past owner and animal lover, Linda (voiced by Leslie Mann), and her husband, Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro).

With a few of the quirky supporting characters from the first film in tow –

“Rio 2” STARRING: Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Jemaine Clement PLOT: It’s a jungle out there for Blu, Jewel and their three kids after they’re hurtled from Rio de Janeiro to the wilds of the Amazon. As Blu tries to it in, he goes beak-to-beak with the vengeful Nigel and meets the most fearsome adversary of all: his father-in-law.

RATED: G RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 41 minutes including birds voiced by George Lopez (as frisky toucan Rafael) and Jamie Foxx and will.i.am (as rapping canaryand-cardinal duo Nico and Pedro) – they soar through a dazzling journey to the rainforest, making the often-wasted 3-D effect worth it as we take in the broad scope and graphically layered flair.

Once there, Jewel discovers the large macaw crew is led by her long-lost father (Andy Garcia), who is unimpressed with his daughter’s choice of a mate.

He can’t help but roll his eyes over Blu’s use of a GPS or a Swiss Army kit rather than the use of his own sharp beak. But their classic in-law banter is sublimely comical.

Brazilian native writer-director Carlos Saldanha and Don Rhymer returned to pen the story.

But they try too hard to make up for the minimalist plot of the original and drown in subplots: Blu battles with Jewel over staying in the wild versus returning to the city; Linda and Tulio clash with a few bad guys threatening

Kristin Chenoweth voices “Gabi” in “Rio 2.”

to cut down the rainforest (the film’s eco push); and Blu’s old rival, Niguel (Jemaine Clement of “Flight of the Conchords”), pops up with a beautiful yet poisonous neon pink and purple frog (an angelic and cutesy Kristin Chenoweth) plotting revenge. Phew!

And then there are the moments when characters break out into song.

Niguel’s hotshot rendition of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” seems a little ill-set when he really should be crooning a sinister track a la Ursula’s “Poor Unfortunate Souls” in “The Little Mermaid.” The sweet voice of Hathaway shines with her solo lullaby.

But it’s Chenoweth’s Broadwaylike delivery that trumps all when she belts out an anthem on forbidden love.

Though the original songs here are whimsical and fun, few are irresistible.

With so much going on, it’s a wonder this kids’ movie is only five minutes longer than the original.

But for the music and brilliantly picturesque look, it’s worth the 3-D ticket.
