Good morning, McHenry County ...

Finally time to enjoy great outdoors

Here’s a refreshing headline readers of NWHerald.com might have noticed earlier this week: “McHenry County may be seeing temperatures hit 70s by end of week.”

In addition to the warmer weather, the story also said we’d stay dry – as in, no rain (or snow).

Keep your fingers crossed, but that Monday forecast still holds true as I write this Wednesday evening. Our past winter might not have been that bad, but early spring – as I’m sure most would agree – has been pretty miserable. That’s especially so if you have children involved in spring sports, work outdoors or are generally just tired of the inside of your own home.

Some might say that, if you choose to live in northern Illinois, you shouldn’t complain about the weather. I’m not one of those people.

Complaining about the weather is practically a pastime at the McCaleb household.

But so is planning for outdoor activities. And in McHenry County, there are so many options.

A judge determined Wednesday that former House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s lies to investigators involving what occurred with a 14-year-old in a motel in the 1970s will be factored into the decision when his sentence is determined.

“Individual D,” one of the boys prosecutors say Hastert sexually abused, will be a witness at the April 27 hearing. Story, page A20.

NEW YORK – A paralyzed 24-yearold man has regained some use of his right hand, controlling it with signals relayed from electronic sensors in his brain. Ian Burkhart of Dublin, Ohio, can grasp a bottle, pour its contents into a jar, pick up a stick and stir the liquid. He can grab a credit card and swipe it through a reader. He can move individual fingers and hold a toothbrush.

But he can do these things only for a few hours a week, in a laboratory where he is hooked up to an experimental device that interprets his brain signals and stimulates his muscles with electrodes on his forearm. With improvements, researchers hope the system will aid the everyday lives of people with spinal cord injuries.

Wes Parks (left) and his father, Bill Parks, hang out with the family pets April 6 at their Oakwood Hills home. Father and son both recently were involved in organ donations, but not to each other. Wes had been on dialysis and needed a kidney, but his father wasn’t a match. Bill ended up donating his kidney to someone else, and Wes got a kidney from a stranger.

TRANSPLANTED HOPE

Father, son undergo paired organ donation for kidney transplant

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com OAKWOOD HILLS – Bill Parks said there was naturally some hesitance when he was deciding whether he wanted to donate his kidney to stranger, an extensive and invasive process that would require him to lose 50 pounds.

When he eventually decided to go through with it, his motivation was clear: His donation would put his 27-year-old son, Wes, on a faster track to receive the new kidney he needed.

The father and son went through

Voice your opinion Are you registered as an organ donor?

Vote online at NWHerald.com. with a paired donation Feb. 25, with Bill donating his kidney to an unknown middle-aged recipient and Wes receiving one from an unknown younger donor.

“For me, [the motivation] was Wes waiting five, six or seven years for a kidney, a young man that really can’t do everything,” Bill Parks said. “He was still working until the

last day before his surgery, dialysis and all, but being on dialysis, it’s never good for you. It still wears on you, wears on your body.”

According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, kidney paired donation is a transplant option for candidates who have a living donor who is medically able to donate a kidney but cannot donate to their intended candidate because they are incompatible.

Both father and son still are recovering from their surgeries. Bill Parks recently returned to doing light duty at work.

Wes is working with doctors to

complete the necessary post-transplant physical adjustments. He hopes to return to his job at Pauly Toyota soon.

Although the transplant process has taken its toll both mentally and physically, Deanette Parks, Bill’s wife and Wes’ mother, said it has given the family a new outlook on life.

“We have no idea who gave Wes his gift,” Deanette Parks said. “We have no idea their race or religion, their background or upbringing, whether they’re rich or poor.”

LOCAL NEWS LOCAL BRIEF Woman sent to hospital after McHenry crash

McHENRY – One woman was taken to an area hospital after a two-vehicle crash in McHenry that left one vehicle on its side, a fire official said Wednesday.

The McHenry Township Fire Protection District was dispatched shortly after 4 p.m. to Route 31 and Shoppers Drive for a reported crash, Battalion Chief Dave Harwood said.

The collision was between two SUVs, he said, and one had ended up on its side.

Firefighters signed off on the woman driver from that vehicle, but the driver of the other SUV was taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry as a precaution, Harwood said. She showed no obvious injuries on the scene.

Along with the fire protection district, the McHenry police responded but were not immediately available for comment.

Nonprofit brown bag lunch program to benefit homeless

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The guidelines of the Salvation Army of McHenry County’s new brown bag lunch program are simple.

“If you are hungry, you are welcome to get a bag,” spokeswoman Linda West said.

Recognizing the gap in consistent lunchtime meals for the homeless, the local Salvation Army chapter will offer brown bag lunches from May to September at sites throughout McHenry County. Each lunch generally comes with a sandwich, fruit, a bottle of water and a dessert.

The program aligns with seasonal closure of temporary Public Action to Deliver Shelter sites, commonly known as PADS. Without a place to sleep at night, the homeless often camp out and struggle to find meals during the summer, West said.

She said it’s not clear how many people might use the lunch service, but a 2014 survey indicated that 1,000 McHenry County residents sought a service to cope with homelessness.

Capt. Carol Lewis said she hopes the lunch program will help the homeless get over the hurdle of hunger so they can deal with factors that have contributed to their homelessness.

“When we meet that first need, we know we are really making an impact that allows them to know that need is met and they can go on and look at other

The agency will distribute brown bag lunches from 11:30 a.m. to noon Wednesdays at the Salvation Army Corps Community Center, 290 W. Crystal Lake Ave., and the Old Firehouse Assistance Center, 120 W. South St., Woodstock.

Distribution will expand to more locations and days beginning May 1. The

long-term goal of the program is to provide lunches seven days a week through September, West said.

An $800 anonymous donation to the Northern Illinois Food Bank jump-started the program, but officials said they will need continuous support from program sponsors, volunteers, drivers and people to pack lunches. For information, call 815-455-2769.

Teen charged after shooting near University of Kentucky

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com An 18-year-old Crystal Lake man was charged this week for his role in an alleged robbery that led to a man being fatally shot near the University of Kentucky campus, police said.

Nicholas V. Coriaci, as well as fellow university students Jaydon B. Whalen, 19, and Alex P. Ferrell, 19, are charged with first-degree robbery stemming from the April 9 shooting, according to a news release from the Lexington, Kentucky, police department.

The men are accused of devising a plan to rob another man under the guise of a narcotics transaction, the release said. Investigators determined the three suspects, along with 28-year-old James N. Gordon of Lexington arranged to meet an acquaintance in the early-morning hours of April 9 on a street

near campus, police said.

When the acquaintance arrived about 2:15 a.m., the suspects and Gordon showed a weapon and attempted to rob him, police said. The acquaintance then pulled out a gun and shot Gordon, according to the release.

Coriaci was shot in the shoulder, police said.

Gordon later died.

The shooter, who police have not named, is claiming self-defense and has cooperated with inNicholas vestigators, the release V. Coriaci said. The man currently does not face any charges, police said.

University of Kentucky spokesman Jay Blanton said Coriaci is a freshman at the school’s Gatton College of Business and Economics. Coriaci was listed as a pre-management major on the dean’s list for the fall 2015 semester.

LOCAL BRIEF

Man denies selling heroin to victim who died of overdose

CPR, Narcan proved ineffective in saving man

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A West Chicago man is denying allegations he sold an unknown amount of black tar heroin to a Crystal Lake man who overdosed and died days later.

Joshua M. Manthei, 25, of the 300 block of West Blair Street, West Chicago, was arraigned Wednesday and pleaded not guilty before McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer to drug induced homicide, a Class X felony, and unlawful delivery of a Joshua M. controlled substance, a Manthei Class 2 felony.

If convicted, Manthei faces six to 30 years in prison and three years of supervised release.

Steven D. Brown’s parents found

Ferrell and Whalen also are freshmen at the university, Blanton said.

The UK police department is assisting in the investigation, according to a statement from Police Chief Joe Monroe.

“To the extent that there are potential violations of the student code of conduct involved, the university will proceed accordingly with a full review,” Monroe said in the statement.

Coriaci pleaded not guilty during his arraignment Tuesday, Fayette County District Court officials said. He is free on $10,000 bond. Coriaci is next scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing at 8:30 a.m. April 22.

Court officials said first-degree robbery is a Class B felony punishable by 10 to 20 years in prison.

their 22-year-old son unresponsive in early February and alerted police who were dispatched to their Crystal Lake home.

Brown’s parents administered Narcan and started CPR, but both methods proved ineffective, police said.

Brown was taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock where he died shortly thereafter, said Tom Kotlowski, Crystal Lake deputy police chief of operations.

Ken and Maria Brown, Steven Brown’s parents, previously told the Northwest Herald that their son had struggled with addiction since Steven D. he was a teenager.

Brown Manthei was arrested Feb. 12 in Rockford, and is currently in the McHenry County Jail on $250,000 bond.

His next court date is May 25.

ed his membership in a shooting club and the food and alcohol tab at the college’s former French restaurant, made national headlines in recent years, but they are just one of numerous instances of public officials asking taxpayers to pick up questionable checks.

High-profile expenses include the Chicago Transit Authority spending more than $600,000 since 2010 to send people to Hawaii and Las Vegas for pension-related conferences, and an impoverished one-school district on Chicago’s South Side spending at least $65,000 on travel for board members and staff.

Charges put on the township-issued credit card of the highway commissioner in Naperville Township in recent years included sausages and beer from a supermarket, a $300 Italian restaurant bill and lunch at Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery, a restaurant chain known for scantily-clad waitresses.

Three Joliet men have been charged in a vehicular shooting in Barrington.

At 3:09 a.m. Sunday, Barrington police were called to Route 14 and Shorely Drive in Barrington to investigate the shooting.

Sherron P. Reed Jr., 20; Brandon D. Campbell, 21; and Justin L. Crowder, 19, are each charged with one count of aggravated battery with a firearm and one count of aggravated discharge of a firearm at an occupied vehicle, both of which are Class X felonies. According to a Barrington Police Department news release, the trio attended a party with the victims and was driving home on Route 14 when they fired several rounds from an AR-15 rifle into the victims’ car, which then left the road and crashed into a railroad gate. Both victims sustained gunshot wounds, the news release stated. One is in critical condition, and the other has been released from a hospital.

The case remains under investigation.

The three suspects were scheduled to appear Wednesday in Lake County court for a bond hearing.

A bill that would make it harder for local government officials to travel and dine at taxpayer expense sailed through the Illinois House and is on its way to the state Senate.

House Bill 4379, filed in January by state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, would limit the amount of money that non-home-rule governments can spend on travel, meals and lodging.

The bill was inspired by a slew of reports and investigations revealing questionable travel and entertainment expenses racked up by government officials.

The bill, which passed the House on a 113-0 vote Tuesday, would require governments to draft ordinances defining acceptable expenses, set maximum limits and document expenses through a standardized form that will be public under the Illinois Freedom of Informa-

tion Act. Expenses by elected officials will have to be approved by vote in an open meeting, as will expenses incurred by rank-and-file employees that exceed the set maximum.

McSweeney’s bill also forbids spending taxpayer money on entertainment, such as movies, shows and sporting events, a practice that McSweeney called “inexcusable.”

“If [governments] want to spend money on travel, there should be Rep. David a public roll call. They McSweeney can’t hide it anymore,” McSweeney said.

State Sen. Tom Cullerton, D-Villa Park, who has been among the many outspoken critics of the spending practices of ousted College of DuPage President Robert Brueder, will carry the bill in the Senate.

Paul Mulcahy said. “We’re able to say now, ‘You can do this, but you get one machine.’ ” The proposed restrictions would allow businesses measuring 1,500 to 1,874 square feet to have one terminal, while businesses 3,000 square feet or larger could have the legal maximum of five terminals. Businesses in between could get two to four machines depending on their square footage.

they could limit new businesses to fewer machines on a case-by-case basis.

The rules would not apply to businesses that, as of April 24, already have video gaming terminal licenses or businesses with village liquor licenses that have presented plans to the village that include video gaming.

Mulcahy also noted the restrictions would restrict video gaming-focused businesses such as Stella’s Place and Dotty’s Cafe, which typically measure about 1,500 square feet.

The existing Stella’s Place on Randall Road would be exempt from the new restrictions.

Trustee Paula Yensen, who said she has been receiving emails and phone calls from concerned constituents, said she was pleased with the solution. “[The concerns are] just the volume and the space, and getting back to this family-oriented community,” Yensen said. “I’m very comfortable with the way that you outlined this.”

Rt. 25

LAKE IN THE HILLS – The Village Board will vote Thursday on an ordinance that would raise the yearly per-terminal video gaming fee for businesses from $100 to $500.

The ordinance also would require that businesses adding video gaming in the future must be at least 1,500 square feet and limit the number of terminals a business could have based on its square footage.

The regulations were brought before the Committee of the Whole on Tuesday, two weeks after trustees discussed how to handle an influx of business proposals including video gaming at an ad hoc meeting.

“We see so many proposals where it’s just a couple of sandwiches they’re going to sell and they want five machines, and that’s going to be their primary business,” Village President

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake Police Department responded Wednesday night to an empty storefront after receiving a report from a male caller who claimed he accidentally shot through the window with a BB gun, police said.

Police responded to a vacant storefront at 6314 Route 14 in Crystal Lake about 9:13 p.m. after getting the report, Sgt. Charles Harris said.

“Nobody was hurt,” he said. “The suspect said he accidentally shot through the window. There was no battery or anything like that involved.”

Harris said the individual, for whom he did not have any identifying information, called police to report the incident and was cooperating with responding officers. “This is definitely criminal damage to property,” Harris said, adding the incident also could warrant a city ordinance violation because BB guns are prohibited on city property.

“Whether he did it on purpose or not, there was still damage to property.”

The window will be boarded up, and efforts were being made to contact the property owners.

• ORGAN DONATION

Wes Parks (left) was on dialysis and needed a kidney, but his father, Bill Parks, wasn’t a match, so Bill donated his kidney to someone else, and Wes got a kidney from a stranger.

Continued from page A3

“It makes you see other people in your life and appreciate them. It’s hard to put up barriers when you know there are people who are willing to donate life for somebody you love,” Deanette Parks said.

The Parks family’s road to those transplants began when Wes went to a routine doctor’s appointment when he was 21. The doctor prescribed him medication for high blood pressure, and when that was ineffective, he was referred to a specialist in Chicago.

Doctors discovered that Wes’ one kidney was functioning at 40 percent, and the family found out it would eventually need to be replaced. Wes began a restrictive diet and eventually started peritoneal dialysis.

Meanwhile, the family learned about options for a transplant. He could get a kidney from a cadaver, but in Illinois, the waiting line for that is estimated at five to seven years.

According to the organization Gift of Hope, a new person joins the national transplant waiting list every 10 minutes, and more than 300 people registered for transplants in Illinois will die while waiting in 2016.

Hoping to speed the process up, Bill Parks looked into directly donating to his son. While he was a good match med-

Sarah Nader – snader@ shawmedia.com

ically, the age difference made the transplant risky.

That’s when the family heard about paired donation and began the work to find another pair to match up with. After entering a database with other pairs, Bill and Wes found out last fall that the computer had located a potential match – but the other pair still had to undergo some testing, which created a period of uncertainty and pushed the transplant back by a month. “[When we heard about the

ONCE-A-YEAR HARDWOOD FLOORING CLEARANCE!

match,] it was like, ‘OK, sweet. Everything’s good,’ ” Wes Parks said. “But then it was like, ‘After they do this, we’re gonna see.’ ” Helping with the anxiety, the family said, was the Transplant Support Group of Northern Illinois. The family first attended one of the group’s sessions, which are held the third Saturday of each month at Centegra Hospital – McHenry, in 2014 after Wes saw an advertisement for the group in the newspaper.

The Parks family found the group to be a supportive environment that gave them a realistic view of the transplant process and its constant uncertainty.

Bill Parks said the group was able to help with any questions they had, right down to the nitty gritty physical details.

“It’s a great place for people that are going through this,” Bill Parks said.

“It’s the answers you can’t get from the doctor’s offices. It’s the stuff you don’t get told. These are people that have lived through this.”

April marks National Donate Life Month, and after their transplants, the Parks family members said they would encourage anyone who is considering donating an organ to begin the process because donors can change their mind until the very end.

Deanette Parks noted you can still live a healthy life with one kidney, and Bill Parks said doctors will not go through with a transplant before ensuring it is safe through an extensive process.

Illinois residents can join the Organ/ Tissue Donor Registry at www.ilsos. gov/organdonorregister. Those interested in becoming living donors can join a donor network through Gift of Hope.

Carol Prebianca of the Transplant Support Group said a Gift of Hope representative will speak at the group’s meeting Saturday. Those interested in joining the Transplant Support Group can call Prebianca at 847-838-4754.

If You’re Suffering from a Leaky Bladder, Do This One Thing

Dr. Victor Marchione shows why adult diapers and padded underwear are becoming a thing of the past.

Wilkesboro, North Carolina Carrie B suffered from bladder problems for about 10 years. What started off as a small leak whenever she sneezed or laughed, ended up with her losing so much control of her bladder, she had to cut down on going out. She tried drugs, but they came with nasty side effects, so she gave up on them and tried adult diapers. She hated the rustle of the diapers and was very conscious of the unmistakable odor of stale urine. Nothing seemed to work for Carrie until she did this one thing.

Fast relief that will leave you speechless

When asked how she felt, at first all she could say was “I can’t’ find the words to express how great I feel.” But later on she added. “I had so many accidents in public, I was afraid to leave the house. I even had to stop going to church. It was so humiliating, I cried. Within one month of trying Bladder Rescue I no longer have accidents! I’ve started going back to church and I’m socializing again… Thank you!

Like Carrie, you too can get back your freedom. The freedom to plan your day according to what you want to do, and not what your bladder will allow. You never have to bother about how long a movie will last, or how much you can drink, or even whether there is a toilet nearby. But you have to act now. Don’t let another day do by.

Ignore bladder problems at your own risk

You see a leaky bladder not only ruins your social life, and prevents you from getting a good night’s rest, it can lead to secondary complications. Urinary tract infection, bladder stones, kidney stones can all stem from a simple leaky bladder.

And there is statistical evidence of a leaky bladder resulting in falls, fractures and even severe mood swings. While a leaky bladder can be downright humiliating,

talking about it is embarrassing. Which is why most people don’t even tell their family doctor about it.

This is a big mistake because, without proper care, a leaky bladder will only get worse.

Effective bladder care right at home

Thanks to Dr. Victor Marchione, we are able to bring effective bladder care to the confines of your home. Though Dr. Marchione is a certified M.D, his success with natural ingredients has given him the moniker – Food Doctor. Dr. Marchione, has recently developed a powerful and effective formula that is bringing back the freedom into the lives of thousands of women. And men too. It has natural ingredients, is drug free, and best of all, it is fast acting. It is aptly called Bladder Rescue. And as you can see from Carrie’s story, it is clearly living up its name.

No more adult diapers.

No more sleepless nights!

While there are thousands like Carrie who are happy to be using Bladder Rescue, the growing popularity of Bladder Rescue could have a negative impact on the adult diaper industry. What was till now a growing business (In many countries, including the US, sales of adult diapers are set to exceed the sales of baby diapers), could suddenly see a change in their fortunes. The diaper industry will be even more worried when they realize, Carrie’s success is no fluke and is based on scientific principles.

The science behind the success

Your bladder is made up of different muscles. These muscles house a hollow cavity to hold urine. Bladder muscles, called sphincters, as well as muscles of your pelvic floor, keep urine from leaking.

When your bladder and pelvic floor muscles are strong, they can handle any extra pressure from a cough, sneeze or laugh. But as these muscles become weak with age, any sudden pressure can push urine out of the bladder unexpectedly. In

HAVE BEEN USED FOR ALL ADMINISTRATION. THIS PRODUCT

fact, a recent Mayo Clinic report confirms that if you want to reduce bladder leakage, the first thing to do is strengthen all your bladder and pelvic floor muscles. And this is exactly what the main ingredients in Bladder Rescue - pumpkin seed extract and soy isoflavones – are proven to do.

Clinical trials back the science

In an eight-week placebo-controlled clinical study, the water soluble pumpkin seed extract worked far better at strengthening the bladder and urinary tract than the placebo. In fact, it slashed frequent urination and leakage up to 57%.

And nighttime urinations were reduced by as much as 60%. While this is great news it is not enough.

But when pumpkin seed extract combines with soy isoflavones, this dynamic duo rapidly reduced the number of frequent urinations and episodes of leakage. In fact, in one clinical study, participants reported a dramatic 79% reduction in urinary frequency and leakage starting in as little as 7 days.

Of course there two ingredients are ably supported by the other ingredients

Participants REDUCED Nightly Frequency and Leakage 79% (From 7.3 to 1.5 episodes)

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS. INDIVIDUAL RESULTS MAY VARY. THESE STATEMENTS IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE, OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE

Dr. Victor Marchione has been practicing medicine for over 26 years and has been featured on ABC News and World Report, CBS Evening News with Dan Rather and the NBC Today Show. He recently remarked, “I understand that educating people about ways to prevent sickness and promote inner health is the best approach to medicine”

in Bladder Rescue – Vinpocetine, Magnesium, Cranberry, and the vitamins C, B12, and D. All of which are proven to help strengthen bladder muscles and support bladder health.

Works for both men and women

According to Dr. Marchione, as the bladder muscle in both men and women is similar in structure, and function, the ingredients work well for both the sexes.

But for men, their urinary symptoms could be caused by an enlarged prostate. So it’s important to come to a correct diagnosis, before addressing the symptoms. If it’s a bladder problem, support the bladder muscle. If the symptoms are because of an enlarged prostate, proceed accordingly.

Having said that, even after the prostate problem is resolved (drugs, supplements surgery) the leakage can continue. This is because an enlarged prostate can alter bladder muscle function in the long run.

In which case, Bladder Rescue can come to the rescue.

British playwright Arnold Wesker dies at age 83

By DANICA KIRKA

The Associated Press LONDON – Prolific British playwright Arnold Wesker, who drew on his heritage as a working-class Jew to create plays that captured the dialogue and struggles of the common man, has died, his son Lindsay said Wednesday. He was 83 and had Parkinson’s disease.

Wesker, who wrote more than 40 plays that were translated into 18 languages, first gained prominence with a trilogy about the lives of Jewish socialist intellectuals: “Chicken Soup with Barley” (1958), “Roots” (1959) and “I’m Talking about Jerusalem” (1960). He was known, together with writers including John Osborne and Brendan Behan, as one of the “angry young men” of the British stage in the 1950s – although he dismissed the label.

The playwright drew on his youth in east London, where conversation, argument and song were woven into the fabric of daily life. He loved the rhythms, the dialogue and the thirst for knowledge

gained just by sitting around talking.

“There were quarrels and they were upsetting, but in a strange way there was so much love around, it overshadowed the distress,” he told the BBC’s “Desert Island Discs” program in 2006.

Born on May 24, 1932, Wesker never went to college but instead had a string of jobs that informed his writing, including bookseller’s assistant, farm laborer, kitchen porter and pastry cook, as well as service in the Royal Air Force from 1950-52.

“I really do feel I missed out not going go to university,” he told the BBC. “I just failed exams. I didn’t even pass my English exams. When I write prose, I keep my fingers crossed that I’m writing it as I remember having read it in good literature.”

In the stiff, upper-class world of British drama in the 1950s, Wesker was part of a wave of new voices who took on all AP file photo subjects, the “kitchen sink” of drama.

Together with playwrights such as Har- British playwright Arnold Wesker poses Feb. 22, 2006, at Buckingham Palace, London, old Pinter, Wesker helped broaden the after being knighted.

DETROIT – Paul Carey, a radio broadcaster whose accounts of Detroit Tigers games captivated sports fans for nearly two decades, has died. He was 88.

Nancy Carey said her husband died “very peacefully” Tuesday at their home in the Detroit suburb of Rochester and had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart disease. She said he was “the love of my life and anybody that knew him was better off for knowing him.”

In a statement, the Tigers said Carey was “a consummate professional who had one of the most distinctive and classic broadcast voices.” He was Ernie Harwell’s radio broadcast partner from 1973-91 and was behind the microphone during the Tigers’ 1984 World Series championship season.

“The team of Ernie and Paul was, such a great team,” current Tigers playby-play radio announcer Dan Dickerson told the Detroit Free Press. “I think the thing I took away from listening to those broadcasts, just the way they called a really good game.

“I grew up listening to these guys. ... He had a powerful voice that kind of sucked you into the radio,” Dickerson said.

Indeed, Carey’s voice was authoritaAP file photo tive and deep. During Tigers broadcasts, Former Detroit Tigers broadcaster Paul Carey waves before throwing out a ceremonial his shift spanned the middle three inpitch before the Detroit Tigers face the New York Yankees May 10, 2010, in Detroit. nings, with Harwell typically announc-

ing the other six.

During most of those seasons, he also served as a broadcast engineer, The Detroit News said, hauling equipment and arranging communications with Detroit station WJR-AM. “Maybe one of the reasons we got along so well is that there was quite a difference in our personalities and approaches,” Carey told The News in an interview after Harwell died in 2010. “Ernie got up early and exercised early. I got up late as I could and exercised as little as I could.

“I’m a worrier. Ernie was not. He didn’t fret. Again, maybe that’s why we got along so well. We weren’t finishing each other’s sentences.”

In addition to his nearly two decades in the Tigers’ booth, the native of Mount Pleasant worked for several radio stations in addition to WJR. Carey was an honorary lifetime member of the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association and a former president of the organization. He was awarded the 2012 DSBA Ernie Harwell Lifetime Achievement Award.

“His passing is mourned by all he touched, thanks to his talent, profile and longevity; he did indeed touch countless sports souls,” Trevor Thompson, the president of the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association, said in a statement.

Arrangements are being handled by Modetz Funeral Home in Oakland County’s Orion Township.

Judge suggests he’ll factor in Hastert lies for sentencing

By MICHAEL TARM

only adult on the trip, touched him inappropriately after suggesting he would massage a groin injury the boy had, prosecutors said.

Defense attorneys called details of Individual A’s account of Hastert’s behavior “ambiguous.”

“We are not so certain that the incident qualifies as sexual misconduct, especially for a coach and trainer 42 years ago,” they said in the filing, unsealed Wednesday.

Prosecutors said there is no doubt.

Hastert “used his position of trust as a teacher and coach to touch a child’s genitals and then undress and ask the child for a back massage in a hotel room,” they said in a Friday filing. “There is no ambiguity; defendant sexually abused Individual A.” Judge Thomas M. Durkin indicated several times Wednesday that he was disturbed by Hastert’s claims to agents in 2015 that Individual A was extorting him. Hastert was accusing someone he victimized of “holding him

up,” Durkin said. Those lies, unlike the abuse allegations, were not distant history, the judge said.

“That’s not conduct that’s 40 years old,” Durkin said. “That conduct is ... a year old.” About how Hastert’s false allegations against Individual A might affect his sentencing calculations, the judge added: “Among the aggravating factors in this case, that’s a big one.”

Among other assertions in the 14page defense filing: • Individual A still could sue Hastert if he’s not paid the portion of the $3.5 million he hasn’t received – $1.8 million, plus interest.

• The probation office was wrong to speculate in a sealed report that Hastert could have abused others after getting into politics. “Similarly, there is no basis for the conjecture that Mr. Hastert engaged in any sexual misconduct overseas,” it says.

• When FBI agents first came to speak to Hastert unannounced in December 2014, they wore wires to secretly record his answers.

Prosecutors say agents initially had no inkling sexual abuse was behind the payments Hastert made to Individual A. When Hastert said Individual A was extorting him, agents even helped stage and record phone conversations with the former wrestler.

It all backfired on Hastert, whose political career had taken him to speaker, second in the line of presidential succession.

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Dennis Hastert’s lawyers have suggested that what occurred with a 14-year-old in a motel decades ago might not qualify as sexual abuse, while the judge in the former U.S. House speaker’s hush-money case signaled Wednesday that he’ll factor in Hastert’s lies to investigators when he determines a sentence.

Federal prosecutors said at a hearing Wednesday in Chicago that someone identified as “Individual D” – one of at least four boys who prosecutors say Hastert sexually abused in the 1970s – would be one of two witnesses seeking to speak at the April 27 sentencing. The other is a sister of a now-deceased accuser.

The 14-year-old, referred to as “Individual A” in court papers, is at the core of the case.

Hastert pleaded guilty last fall to breaking banking laws as he sought to pay $3.5 million to the man not to divulge his misconduct when he taught and coached wrestling from 1965 to 1981 in Yorkville, a Chicago suburb.

After first saying he withdrew large sums because he didn’t trust banks, Hastert told investigators he was the target of a bogus sexual abuse claim.

Individual A told prosecutors Hastert abused him in the late 1970s in a motel room on the way home from wrestling camp. He said Hastert, the

Bill to abolish lieutenant governor office advances

SPRINGFIELD – A measure to eliminate the office of lieutenant governor in Illinois has gotten initial approval in the state House. The bill from Republican state Rep. David McSweeney would not apply to the state’s current lieutenant governor, Evelyn Sanguinetti.

McSweeney said the office has limited responsibilities and eliminating the position would save the state about $1.6 million annually. The change would be a constitutional amendment so voters would ultimately decide whether to eliminate the office starting in 2019, the end

House OKs suspending late vehicle plate fines

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House has passed a measure to suspend fines for drivers who are late renewing their vehicle license plates until the state can continue mailing reminders.

The bill advanced out of the Illinois House unanimously Tuesday and now goes to the Illinois Senate for consideration. The secretary of state stopped mailing renewal reminders to save money while Illinois operates without a budget.

The state has collected more than $5 million in fines since the beginning of the year. That’s more than double than the amount collected during the first three months of 2015.

NATION BRIEFS Obama claims progress on ISIS amid worries

LANGLEY, Va. – President Barack Obama claimed progress Wednesday in the U.S.-led fight against the Islamic State group, even as political turmoil in Iraq and renewed violence in Syria threatened to jeopardize hardfought gains.

During a rare presidential visit to CIA headquarters, Obama said it had been “a bad few months” for the Islamic State and gave a detailed account of areas where U.S.-backed forces have wrested territory back from the extremist group. Although he acknowledged the fight remains difficult and complex, he said IS was on the defensive and that the U.S. intends to “keep that momentum.”

“Every day, ISIL leaders wake up and understand that it could be their last,” Obama said, using an acronym for the extremist group.

Outside groups join in on growing GOP delegate game

By JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – After burning through millions of dollars in a mostly failed attempt to sway Republican primary voters, big-money outside groups opposing Donald Trump have turned to a far smaller target audience: the delegates who will actually choose the presidential nominee.

Our Principles, which is devoted to keeping Trump from winning, and super PACs backing Ted Cruz and John Kasich are spending their time and money researching the complex process of delegate selection and reaching out to those party insiders. Compared to earlier primary states such as Florida, there have been few ads by outside groups on the air in New York, which holds its election Tuesday.

Delegates are the people – typically longtime Republicans and state party activists – who will have their say at the GOP convention this summer in Cleveland if Trump does not lock up the nomination first in the remaining voting contests.

The hot pursuit of such low-profile people by outside groups is yet another unprecedented twist in a history-defying presidential primary season.

The delegate focus comes after the groups’ earlier efforts turned out to be money not particularly well spent. GOP-aligned groups spent at least $218 million on presidential television and radio ads, according to advertising tracker Kantar Media’s CMAG. In one example, last

month Our Principles put $2.3 million into ads trying to persuade Florida voters to ditch Trump, but he won the state anyway.

“At this stage, the delegate fight is the most important part of the race,” said Tim Miller, a spokesman for Our Principles. “The work we’re doing on it is how we get the biggest bang for our buck.”

Our Principles isn’t airing commercials at all in New York. On Wednesday, super PACs helping Cruz and Kasich bought $700,000 in paid media there to run through Election Day, CMAG shows.

On the delegate front, the Trump, Cruz and Kasich campaigns all pay specialists to advise them. Yet the outside groups can’t resist crafting a role for themselves. By law, candidates cannot direct their helpful super PACs on how to spend money on paid communications.

However, candidates and the outside groups keep a close eye on what the others are doing.

At a donor event last weekend at the Venetian casino resort in Las Vegas, pro-Cruz super PAC officials explained to a rapt audience how they are diving into data about Republican delegates. That super PAC event took place on the same floor as a Cruz campaign finance event, which delved into similar material.

Douglas Heye, a former communications director for the Republican National Convention, said the organizational nature of a potential delegate fight plays into Cruz’s strengths.

The Texas senator has cultivated relationships with conservative leaders across the country.

Now they’re helping him woo delegates.

Brussels attackers experienced from battle, Paris plots

By LORI HINNANT

The Associated Press PARIS – The Islamic State fighters who carried out the attacks in Brussels honed their skills through combat in Syria, and the sibling suicide bombers were also crucial to planning the Paris attacks, according to the extremist group’s magazine released Wednesday.

In the English-language magazine Dabiq, the group drew a direct line between the two attacks – and made no mention of the key suspects captured in Belgium.

“All preparations for the raids in Paris and Brussels started with” brothers Khalid and Ibrahim El-Bakraoui, the group said.

Brussels was home to many of the attackers who struck the French capital Nov. 13 with suicide bombings and volleys of assault weapons fire that left 130 people dead. According to Belgian and French investigators, the same cell was behind the suicide bombings that killed 32 people in Brussels on March 22.

The younger El Bakraoui blew himself up in a rush-hour Brussels subway train, killing 16 victims. That same morning, his older brother was one of

two suicide bombers who detonated explosives-laden suitcases at Brussels Airport, killing another 16. The other airport bomber was Najim Laachraoui, the bomb maker for both the Brussels and the Paris attacks, who left for Syria in 2013 and was an early recruit for the Islamic State group.

It is “firstly due” to the El Bakraouis that the attacks in the French capital occurred, Dabiq said.

Subsequently, it said, Khalid El Bakraoui had a dream to carry out another attack.

The magazine also prominently mentioned Mohamed Belkaid, the Salah IS fighter who was killed Abdeslam covering Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam’s escape from a hideout “during the final stages of preparation for the raid in Brussels.”

It said Belkaid, who had Swedish residency, took part in some of the extremist group’s most important battles, including the capture of Ramadi, and decided to return to Europe with Laachraoui for an attack.

Although it was light on new details, the magazine article offered a glimpse of how the attack cell was constructed

and how the plot formed among supporters in Belgium and Syria.

Abdeslam, who returned from France to Belgium after his brother blew himself up in the Paris attacks, is entirely absent from the narrative, as is Mohamed Abrini and Osama Krayem. All three were captured in the Brussels area – Abdeslam just a few blocks from the Molenbeek home where he grew up.

A Belgian television network on Wednesday released previously unknown footage from Molenbeek of Abdeslam, whose role in the Paris attacks has never been defined and who is not formally linked to the Brussels bloodshed.

In the August 2014 clip from tvbrussels, Abdeslam is seen strolling through an open air market, talking to an unseen companion. Filip De Rycke, the station’s news director, said the footage emerged by happenstance, while an editor was searching for archival material on the neighborhood, which is known as fertile recruiting ground for IS. Abdeslam’s companion could not be identified and was hidden for that reason and “in the interest of the investigation,” he said.

Belgian and French authorities have detained dozens of people in the investigation into the two attacks, but many have been freed quickly. Three people taken into custody during a police search in the Brussels district of Uccle on Tuesday were freed Wednesday, and Belgian authorities have not said what they were looking for, or what they may have found.

Separately Wednesday, the management of the concert hall targeted in the Paris attacks said it is preparing to reopen and has scheduled a set of new concerts toward the end of the year.

The Nov. 13 attacks in Paris were the second major strike against the city in 2015. In January, two attackers killed 11 people at the offices of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo while another man launched a deadly assault on a kosher supermarket and killed a French policewoman.

Amedy Coulibaly, who carried out the latter attack, appeared in a posthumous video pledging allegiance to IS. A Frenchman suspected of supplying weapons to Coulibaly was arrested Tuesday with two other men in the southern Spanish beach town of Rincon de la Victoria on a European arrest warrant.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Louisiana’s governor issued an executive order Wednesday banning discrimination in state government based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and transgender people in South Carolina told state senators that a bill requiring them to use a public bathroom corresponding to their “biological sex” puts them in danger of harassment.

The overwhelming majority of people at the Senate hearing opposed the measure, which mimics part of a North Carolina law signed last month that has brought a national backlash. No vote was taken.

In Tennessee, 60 business leaders – including the CEOs of Williams-Sonoma, Airbnb, Alcoa, T-Mobile and Dow Chemical – signed a letter asking lawmakers to kill similar legislation. The events seemed to unfold across the South almost simultaneously as the fight over LGBT rights raged on.

The South Carolina bill introduced

by Sen. Lee Bright would require multistall bathrooms on public property to be designated and used “based on biological sex.” It specifically includes student bathrooms, locker rooms and

gender people verbally or physically assaulting someone, had a simple answer: “I can find none.”

He declined to give any position on the bill, but when asked whether current laws protect people from being victimized, he said, “the state of South Carolina has laws to address assault and battery.”

Dex Sexton, 17, of Blythewood, said people don’t undress openly in women’s restrooms, as stalls provide privacy. If the issue is fear of assault, he asked, then why are men who have abused little boys not forced to use a different bathroom?

“It’s protections against sexual assault that stop them, not because they can’t use the men’s bathroom,” he said.

In Louisiana, the LGBT protection order signed by Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards prohibits state agencies, boards and contractors from harassment or discrimination based on race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, political affiliation, disability or age. State contracts will be required to include a similar anti-discrimination provision.

Edwards, in office since January, also terminated a religious objections executive order issued by former Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal last year.

State’s late fees a source of shame Even in state government, $160 million is a figure not to be scoffed at.

Neither is $900 million.

For the record Those numbers were included in an Over the past six years, the Associated Press state of Illinois has had to story last week about pay more than $900 million late-payment penalin past-due fees to vendors. ties the state has had That’s outrageous. to fork over in recent years.

In the 2014 fiscal year, Illinois state government had to pay about $160 million in penalties to vendors because the state can’t pay its bills on time.

Over the past six years, those past-due fees have amounted to more than $900 million. Good grief!

Imagine the good those millions of dollars could have been put to if Illinois had its fiscal house in order and had a working state budget.

Some of that money could have gone to fund our public colleges and universities, which have gone without state funding for more than nine months.

Some of those millions could have helped fund the state’s MAP program to help needy students pay for college.

A portion of it could have gone toward community colleges and public schools.

Some could have been allocated toward paying for human services (wretchedly underfunded as of now) across the state.

What was the famous quote from the late statesman from Illinois, U.S. Sen. Everett Dirksen?

“A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking about real money.”

Well, Ev, in a state budget, the same holds true for millions of dollars. We’re talking about piles of money being wasted because of poor fiscal practices.

Want to consider even bigger piles of wasted dollars? Columnist Jim Nowlan recently reported that in 2014, the state spent 5 percent of its $73.7 billion budget on debt servicing. We’re talking about $3.5 billion in interest payments, all because state government has borrowed big bucks and is living far beyond its means.

Illinoisans deserve a government they can be proud of. It’s hard to take pride in waste, debt, and lost opportunities to help Illinoisans live better lives.

State leaders should put politics aside and work to fix this shameful situation.

Obesity a man-made global crisis U.S. is home to largest number of obese people

Not only is Earth getting warmer, but the humans who walk upon it are getting heavier. In the latter phenomenon, however, there is little debate as to the cause. It’s a man-made global health crisis.

A new study led by British scientists, undertaken with the World Health Organization and 700 researchers worldwide, has some grim news: About 640 million adults are obese, up from 105 million in 1975. At this rate, about 20 percent of the adult population will be obese by 2025. While China is coming on strong, the United States maintains its status as being home to the highest number of severely obese men and women in the world.

Among the many factors at play, the main culprit is food

— bad and relatively cheap food. Over the 40 years charted by the study, many countries have risen out of poverty.

The citizens turn to high-calorie and processed foods in abundance, not more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and free-range chicken raised without antibiotics. The resulting obesity is “too extensive to be tackled with medications . or a few extra bike lanes,” said Majid Ezzati, the study’s senior author. “We need coordinated global initiatives.”

Personal choices made by members of an affluent society are part of the problem. Makers of public policy, however, cannot mandate CrossFit memberships and portion control.

The focus should be on the international food industry, as

examined by authors such as Michael Moss (“Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us”) and former Food and Drug Administration director David Kessler, whose “The End of Overeating” laid bare the strategy of corporations that “design food for irresistibility” on a mass scale — akin to tobacco companies manipulating nicotine content.

The study notes that amid the plenty, many people around the world suffer from hunger and low body weight. Yet the study’s main finding shows that the trend lines have crossed: Global health is now more endangered by people who are overweight than underweight.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Difference between slavery, socialism

Slavery is an economic system in which property law is applied to people.

Socialism is a political and economic theory in which the means of production, regulation and exchange are governed by the community.

A slave does not go to college, or receive medical care, or have any input over how they live. That is decided for them by an owner, who, presumably, seeks to derive the greatest amount of profit possible from his/her investment.

A citizen of a democratic socialist nation can choose how to live their lives, as evidenced by the people of nations like Sweden and Norway. Thomas Jefferson made his fortune off the blood and sweat of his slaves. Southern tycoons prior to the civil war profited from factories built off of slave labor.

Henry Ford should be applauded for leading the nation in instituting living wages and reasonable hours alongside unionized labor. Maybe take advantage

en a risk and offered him a job?

Haggard might well have fallen back into crime and the world would never have benefited from his musical talents.

There are many people in Illinois prisons who have unrealized talents.

This perverse system of mass incarceration neither benefits the individual or society.

Today, according to the U.S. Department of Justice, Illinois has the most overcrowded prison system in the U.S. And our nation incarcerates the highest percentage of its citizens of any nation in the world.

Sadly, we’ve got repressive regimes like Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and Iran beat when it comes to locking up our own citizens.

Worse yet, under a trio of Illinois Republican governors – James R. Thompson, Jim Edgar and George Ryan – prisons were billed as economic development.

Under those three, the state radically expanded its prison system.

Then down on their luck downstate communities like Galesburg,

of our government-run, tax-funded education system and learn some history and civics.

Expand homeowners’ flood insurance options

When it comes to preparing for severe weather, life in the Midwest has its challenges.

This year, a winter storm caused the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers to overflow and submerge parts of southern Illinois.

In 2014, Chicago’s collar counties suffered from massive flash-flooding that left homeowners facing thousands of dollars in damage. Many of my constituents live in or near flood plains.

Fortunately, a saving grace for Illinois residents and businesses has been flood insurance. Whether purchasing through a private insurance provider or the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), policy holders can be confident when severe weather strikes.

Hillsboro, Mt. Sterling, Dixon and East Moline became home to prisons under those administrations.

Those communities deserve better and so do those locked behind their gates.

We like to think justice is blind, but it more often favors those who can afford private attorneys and whose backgrounds prosecutors and judges can more readily identify.

A drug-related arrest can land a poor person in prison. But for a middle class individual, deferred sentences and drug rehabilitation are more often the reality.

It’s time we look at alternate sentencing for most non-violent offenders and we should declare the War on Drugs a failure.

I say this to you as a 51-year-old man who has never tasted alcohol or used an illegal drug.

I’m not a libertine seeking to indulge more. I’m a realist who sees that the approach we have been taking just isn’t working.

Rarely has a person left prison better than when he or she went in.

But for decades, Illinois has spent money on cellblocks, prison guards and watchtowers but largely failed to transform the lives of those it locked up.

We need to embrace alternatives to incarceration such as drug rehabilita-

tion, community service, restitution to the victims of crime and home confinement.

And for those leaving prison, we need to smooth the way for them to re-enter society.

My former Illinois Policy Institute colleague Bryant Jackson-Green tells me that in Illinois, there are at least 118 professions for which government either must or may deny a license to anyone with a felony record.

For example, anyone who aspires to be a barber, boxer, cosmetologist, funeral home director, accountant or roofer can be turned away by the government long after he or she has served time and paid his or her debt to society.

That’s shameful.

How many lives like Merle Haggard’s go unredeemed by a state unwilling to forgive?

Illinois has turned it’s back on those struggling to find a place back in society for far too long.

It’s time we offer opportunities, not scorn.

Unfortunately, problems exist with current options.

sored, the Flood Insurance Market Parity and Modernization Act (H.R. 2901), will make it easier for homeowners to make use of private flood insurance policies by allowing them to shop around and move between private and public policies to maintain continuous coverage. If they’re unsatisfied with the private market, they can return to NFIP insurance.

Expanding options for homeowners and reducing the federal flood insurance footprint is a no-brainer.

SPRINGFIELD – We all have things in our past that we are not proud of and for Merle Haggard, it was a felony conviction for armed robbery.

For decades, I’ve loved Haggard’s music. It was the music of the common person. Many of his songs were autobiographical about a man trying to overcome his mistakes.

Haggard, of course, died last week.

And like many of his fans, I’ve found myself pondering the meaning of the man’s message.

He had a rough time when he was released from San Quentin prison.

He started out digging ditches for his brother, an electrical contractor. Like many people leaving the joint, only his family was willing to take a risk on him.

Eventually, his talents were recognized and he rose to become a country music legend.

But what if his brother hadn’t tak-

Small businesses adapt to new minimum wage

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press

NEW YORK – In the aftermath of California and New York becoming the first states to raise the statewide minimum wage to $15, some small businesses with hourly workers are rethinking how they can absorb the increase.

The owners of Dog Haus, a chain of about 20 franchise restaurants in the West, may have customers pick up their meals at the counters in two company-owned stores instead of using servers to carry food to tables.

The Pasadena, California-based company also is looking at hiring more experienced workers who can shoulder more responsibilities than entry-level staffers who earn minimum wage. For example, a cashier might now take on some administrative tasks. That way, Dog Haus could hire fewer people.

“We’ve known this has been coming for a while, and we’ve been preparing for it,” co-owner Andre Vener said.

State minimum wages have been rising the past few years as pro-labor groups including unions call for higher pay for workers, especially those at fast-food restaurants.

That’s forcing small businesses that are more vulnerable to labor cost increases than large companies to reassess their operations. Some are thinking of cutting staff, and others are raising prices.

California and Massachusetts have the highest statewide minimum wages at $10. California and New York this month became the first states to pass laws mandating that a statewide $15 minimum be phased in over the next

Between 2013 and 2015, seven cities in Washington state and California either passed laws raising their minimums to $15 or had referendums approving the increase, according to the National Employment Law Project, a group that advocates for lower-wage workers. Some other states raise their minimums annually to keep pace with inflation.

Small and independent retailers and restaurants are likely to feel the biggest impact of rising minimums because they employ many low-wage hourly workers.

Nearly three-quarters of U.S. workers paid at or below the federal min-

imum wage of $7.25 an hour work in retailing or the leisure and hospitality industries, which include fast-food restaurants, according to the Labor Department.

It’s not just pay that rises – companies must pay more for workers’ compensation insurance and Social Security and Medicare taxes tied to what staffers earn.

And when the minimum goes up, many owners give raises to employees whose pay is above the minimum so these workers – often more senior or experienced workers – will continue to earn more than junior staffers, said Jay Starkman, CEO of Engage PEO, a human resources provider based in Hol-

lywood, Florida. It can be risky not to adjust their pay as well.

“You could have a real potential drain on morale and productivity,” Starkman said.

But because minimum wage hikes are being phased in, companies have time to prepare.

“Smart owners are going to adjust and they’ll take steps to make sure they stay in business,” said Gene Marks, owner of The Marks Group, a consulting firm based in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.

He expects restaurants to come up with innovations to get work done with fewer staffers. For example, he imagines coffeehouses where customers pour their own cups.

In Washington, D.C., Michael Lastoria is preparing for a higher minimum by giving his pizza chain staffers raises to as much as $15 an hour. The minimum in the city will be $11.50 as of July 1 and then rise annually with inflation.

The staffers at &pizza will all earn $12 an hour by July 1, including brand-new employees.

“We’ve done everything in our power to get ahead of the curve,” said Lastoria, CEO of the chain that has 20 restaurants, including seven inside Washington.

Lastoria’s company can absorb the higher labor costs because it has solid revenue growth, he said.

Many companies have reluctantly started raising prices.

Laura Jankowski, owner of three Tropical Smoothie stores in the New York City suburbs, has had to raise her prices about 30 percent – and heard complaints from some of her customers.

LOS ANGELES – A judge on Wednesday voided the sale of a former Catholic convent to a Los Angeles businesswoman, clearing the way for Katy Perry to buy it.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Bowick ruled that attempts to sell the property to the businesswoman by members of an order of nuns were improper.

Perry has sought to buy the hilltop property in the Los Feliz neighborhood for $14.5 million and to relocate an adjoining house of prayer used by priests. Her bid would have to be approved by the Vatican.

Cosby asks court to reseal testimony about affairs

Britain’s Prince William (left) and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, board a jeep for a safari Wednesday at Kaziranga National Park in India. Prince William and Kate planned their visit to Kaziranga specifically to focus global attention on conservation.

British royal couple goes on northeast India safari KAZIRANGA NATIONAL PARK, India – After a night of traditional music and dance, The Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge headed out in a jeep Wednesday morning into the wilds of remote northeast India for a wildlife safari to see rhinos, elephants and more. Dressed in cotton casuals and wearing local Assamese hand-woven gamochas, or scarves, around their necks, the British royal couple looked relaxed as they sat in the back of the open jeep driving through the park during the hot and humid morning, local resident Ranjit Rajak said.

Prince William and his wife, the former Kate Middleton, spent several hours at the Kaziranga National Park in hopes of drawing attention to the plight of endangered animals, including the park’s 2,200 population of a rare, one-horned rhinos. The animals are under threat from wildlife poachers and habitat loss. Already this year, six rhinos have been killed for their horns, after 20 were poached in 2015.

The royal couple was joined by a park official acting as a guide on a tour across dirt tracks, tall grasslands and thick evergreen forest.

They met a group of forest rangers and wildlife wardens at an anti-poaching camp inside the 185-square-mile reserve, which is also home to other endangered species including swamp deer and the Hoolock gibbon.

V.S. Bhaskar, a top Assam state government official, said the royal couple saw rhinos, wild boars, buffaloes, hog deer and a variety of birds. “They enjoyed the trip quite a lot. They were very happy,” he said.

Prince William asked the forest rangers about the conservation challenges they face, he said. The rangers told him that the poachers were using sophisticated automatic weapons, whereas the forest guards had old rifles, which were being upgraded, Bhaskar said.

PHILADELPHIA – Bill Cosby’s lawyers urged an appeals court Wednesday to reseal the comedian’s lurid, decade-old testimony about his womanizing, but the panel of judges seemed to think the request was pointless, since the deposition has already made headlines around the world.

Members of the three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit of Appeals reeled off a list of “the toothpaste’s out of the tube”-type metaphors to suggest that any damage to Cosby’s reputation from the release of the testimony has already been done.

Cosby’s attorneys hope a ruling in their favor could help them keep the documents from being used in the criminal case against him in Pennsylvania and in the many lawsuits filed around the country by women who accuse him of sexual assault or defamation.

But the judges questioned that strategy, too. The other courts “don’t have to necessarily follow us. We can’t control them,” Circuit Judge Thomas L. Ambro said.

Judge ends CeeLo Green’s supervised probation

LOS ANGELES – A judge removed CeeLo Green from supervised probation on Wednesday after saying the singer had complied with his sentence in a felony drug case that involved giving a woman ecstasy during a 2012 dinner.

During a hearing, Superior Court Judge Da-

vid Herriford agreed with a recommendation from probation officials that Green no longer needed to report to a probation officer.

The Grammy-winning singer pleaded no contest in August 2014 to furnishing a woman with ecstasy during a dinner date. He was ordered to serve three years on probation, perform 45 days of community service and attend 52 drug and alcohol counseling sessions.

The singer received an “exceptionally positive” final report from probation officials, his attorney Blair Berk said.

Morning show producer taking over Colbert’s show

NEW YORK – Toward the end of Stephen Colbert’s first season as “Late Show” host, CBS said Wednesday it has assigned the producer who reinvented the network’s morning news show to take over as top behind-thescenes executive at the late-night comedy program.

Chris Licht, who has run “CBS This Morning” since 2012, is making the unusual shift.

His job as “Late Show” executive producer is a new one; Colbert has essentially been running the show along with being the lead performer.

“I am so impressed by what he has done at ‘CBS This Morning,’ ” Colbert said. “And I trust someone has told him he doesn’t have to get up at 4 a.m. anymore.”

Licht, who came to CBS from MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” helped make CBS a player in the morning for the first time in ages.

Medicine lowers gout attack risk Dear Dr. K: I have had three attacks of gout in the past year. I never had it before. Now my doctor wants me to take a medicine every day, even though I feel fine. Is this a good idea?

Dear Reader: Well, you have a kindred soul in Doctor K, since I also have developed gout in recent years.

The disease occurs when a natural chemical called uric acid finds its way into the joints that connect two bones. All of us always have some amount of uric acid in our blood. In people with gout, the amount of uric acid usually is higher than normal.

An attack of gout can be quite painful.

Most of the time, it hits just one joint – often one of the big toes. However, it can be anywhere. Sometimes gout hits multiple joints at the same time. My last attack hit multiple joints in my right foot and in my right index finger.

There are two types of treatment for gout. To treat the pain of an acute attack, anti-inflammatory medicines are necessary. Several different kinds are used.

They quell the inflammation in the joint and ease the pain.

However, when people have repeated attacks, they also need to take a medicine that lowers the blood levels of uric acid.

I’ll bet that’s the treatment your doctor wants you to start. In the United States, the most commonly used medicine is allopurinol.

Lowering the blood levels of uric acid reduces the risk of future attacks of gout, although it does not completely eliminate it. So, like many treatments, you’re taking a treatment not to relieve suffering you currently have; instead, you’re

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff taking a treatment to reduce your risk of future suffering.

It is easy to tell if the treatment is working: Checking levels of uric acid requires just a simple blood test. But the treatment will work only if you take it as prescribed, meaning every day.

The daily treatment might have one other important benefit in addition to reducing future attacks of gout. A recent study of more than 40,000 people followed for almost seven years identified a remarkable result. The study compared people with gout who did not take uric acid-lowering treatment to people with gout who did. People who did not take treatment had more than double the risk of dying from heart disease.

How could treatment for inflammation in the joints affect disease of the heart?

Atherosclerosis of the heart’s arteries is the greatest cause of premature death in developed nations. It is made worse by inflammation. And there is growing evidence inflammation anywhere in the body can negatively affect the arteries of the heart (and brain).

So, should you take daily treatment to lower your uric acid? As I said, you and I are in the same boat. I decided to take the daily pill.

a 29-year-old selfmade millionaire who has spent the past decade saving and investing my middle-class income. I grew up dirt poor, so at 18 I left home with $5, went straight to work and never looked back.

Recently, I’ve realized I struggle to make friends for fear they’ll find out about my financial situation. Those who know only want to talk about money or treat me differently.

Most of my peers are broke, and it makes me feel guilty. Those with high incomes blow their money on fancy dinners and luxury vehicles.

I’m just a working-class woman who likes driving my 10-year-old car, and I don’t feel like I fit in with anyone. In fact, I’m developing an anxiety.

A few months ago, I went to the bank to deposit a large sum of money and was mortified to see the bank teller was a friend of the family. I have gone to the extreme of lying about owning homes and going on vacations, and it’s making me crazy. I even have issues with letting my young daughter’s friends come over for playdates, for fear the other moms will think our house is “too nice.” Do I need counseling or is this just a turning point in my life I need to grasp? – Money Worries Dear Money Worries: It would be interesting to know how many successful people share your feelings, because I suspect you are far from alone in experiencing them. (A psychiatrist once told me many of her successful patients feel like frauds despite their considerable accomplishments.) A licensed mental health professional can help you to get past these feelings before they cause your daughter to be isolated, and I think the money would be well spent.

P.S. If you feel your banking transactions are not being kept confidential, either change financial institutions or arrange for private banking, which is available for high-net-worth individuals.

Dear Abby: I am raising two of my grandchildren because their parents can’t take care of them. The kids still are learning acceptable behavior because they were never taught.

I’ll give you an example of something that happens often: I was paying for an item at a store, and my granddaughter sneaked behind the counter and reached into the display case.

Cupcakes were involved. The saleslady asked her to stop. I immediately got ahold of my wayward offender, glued her to my side until I was finished and then made her apologize.

The problem was, the saleslady immediately said, “Oh, it’s OK.” I then had to ask the saleslady to please not tell my granddaughter it was OK, but instead to accept my granddaughter’s apology. Your thoughts? – Raising Grandkids Dear Raising: I think the salesperson was simply being polite and professional, and those children are lucky to have such a caring grandmother watching out for them.

BASEBALL: PRAIRIE RIDGE 6, CARY-GROVE 1

Tieman delivers clutch hit Three-run triple in 2nd inning powers Wolves

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARY – In typical fashion, Prairie Ridge senior Jon Tieman deflected the credit regarding the Wolves’ four-run second inning, even though he delivered the crushing blow.

“We had a lot of good at-bats and I saw a lot of pitches, so I was able to get a good read on [Cary-Grove starter Matt McCumber],” Tieman said. “I was just trying to get a good pitch to hit and the bases were loaded, so he couldn’t put me anywhere.”

Tieman drilled a line drive up the middle, and Trojans center fielder Collin Walsh dived but came up short. The ball skipped past Walsh for a triple, which provided ample runs for Tieman. The Wolves right-hander fired a five-hitter, striking out seven, to beat C-G, 6-1, Wednesday in their Fox Valley

Lamb started the season on the sophomore team, but got a start Wednesday and went 2 for 3, and also made a sliding catch to take a hit away from Cary-Grove’s Tyler Pennington in the fourth inning.

q THE NUMBER

13

Innings Prairie Ridge pitcher Jon Tieman has gone without walking a batter.

He has issued four walks in 25 innings.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Tieman has picked off four runners in his past two games, two against McHenry on Thursday and two more against C-G. Conference crossover baseball game.

Tieman threw 104 pitches, 80 for strikes, picked off two runners and did not issue a walk for the Wolves (10-5 overall, 2-1 FVC Fox Division).

“He’s getting it done in all phases,” Wolves coach Glen Pecoraro said. “He runs the bases well, has consistently had good at-bats. He’s helping us in a

lot of ways, not just on the mound. It’s been exciting to see for Jonny.”

Tieman (3-0) appreciatively spoke about some fine defensive plays made on his behalf, particularly third baseman Nick Schmidt’s two tough plays and catcher Connor Harrell’s work.

That sentiment goes both ways, as Wolves first baseman Jacob Carpentier noted.

“It’s absolutely awesome (playing behind Tieman),” said Carpentier, who snared a line drive with a diving catch in the third inning Wednesday.

“He just pumps the zone with all his pitches. It’s the best thing for a defense.

You have confidence in him throwing strikes, you’re going to get ground balls and outs any way possible.”

C-G (8-5, 2-1 FVC Valley) scored in the sixth inning on Tyler Pennington’s bases-loaded sacrifice fly, but it was all the Trojans could get.

“I was a little less sharp (than Thursday’s win at McHenry), less efficient, but tried to pound the zone still,” Tieman said. “It’s fun to pitch when you know your guys are going to make plays for you.”

Inside Girls Soccer ATHLETE OF THE WEEK COURTNEY SENGSTOCK Crystal Lake South, jr., F Sengstock had five goals and an assist for the Gators, who won three times this week. She had either a goal or an assist in three of their five games this week, highlighted by two goals and an assist against Woodstock North and a goal and an assist against Warren.

POWER RANKINGS 1. Huntley (7-1-1): The Red Raiders keep rolling, having won their past seven games.

This week they went 3-0, and in the process advanced to the semifinals of their bracket in the PepsiCo Showdown (where they will face Downers Grove North on Thursday). They started with an impressive 8-0 crossover win over Hampshire, and then on Saturday, Bri Wilder’s two goals gave them a win over Wheaton Academy. They advanced again Tuesday with a penalty-shootout win over St. Francis. Wilder led the Red Raiders with four goals this week, and Taryn Jakubowski added three of her own with a hat trick against Hampshire.

2. Crystal Lake South (7-3): The Gators

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week went 3-2 on the week, with all three wins coming against local opponents and the two losses coming in tournament games. Jess Schoenfeldt and Sengstock led the way, each scoring game-winning goals and multipoint games.

3. Johnsburg (6-1-1, 5-1 BNC East): The Skyhawks went 3-0 this week, sweeping a set of Big Northern Conference East matches.

Four players (Shae Giovanni, Taylor Piggott, Amber Humphres and Cortland Sommerfeldt) scored in their win over Rockford Christian before the Skyhawks were held scoreless and needed penalties to beat rival Richmond-Burton on Monday. The offense was back on track Tuesday with five goals against Harvard, led by a pair from Humphres.

4. Cary-Grove (4-1): After losing their first match of the season, the Trojans have come on strong and won their past four. This week, they got a pair of impressive Fox Valley Conference crossover wins, beating Crystal

Lake Central, 5-0, and Woodstock North, 7-0.

Natalie Gallant had a hat trick against the Thunder to lead the Trojans in scoring for the week. They also got two goals and three assists from Carli Petersen, two goals and an assist from Genna Sobieszczyk, two goals and one assist from Payton Emond and two goals from Natalie Bethers.

5. Jacobs (4-2): The Golden Eagles went 2-1 on the week. They started with a crossover win over Woodstock, 5-2, led by Talia Surges’ hat trick. On Saturday, they advanced in the PepsiCo Showdown with a 1-0 win over West Aurora before being knocked to the consolation bracket by two second-half goals from Glenbard West on Tuesday.

NOTEWORTHY Golden Eagles off flying: One of the teams showing the most signs of turnaround early in the season has been Jacobs. The Golden Eagles didn’t win their fourth game last season until May 7. This year, the Golden Eagles reached that mark more than a month earlier, in only their first five games. Senior captain Talia Surges credited some positional changes, communication and passion.

Asked about the improvement, coach Stephanie Shuck said, “We have really great leadership that is keeping the girls together.

They’re the ones that are taking the lead. I feel like at each practice I never have to be the one to say, ‘All right, let’s go, you guys need to start warming up,’ they’re always taking initiative. I think that speaks volumes of them, and I think that’s translating onto the field because they’re the ones on the field playing. We can do as much coaching as we can, but they’re the ones that are going to be putting it together and getting results. I think that’s what’s really helping us right now in this season.”

GAMES TO WATCH Marian Central at Huntley, 4:30 p.m. Monday The young Hurricanes have showed flashes this season and impressed in a 1-0 loss to Crystal Lake South. They will be tested again with a trip to the county’s hottest team.

Prairie Ridge at Woodstock, 4:30 p.m. Tuesday Two teams out to strong starts meet in their FVC Fox opener. The Wolves are the defending division champions.

Crystal Lake South at Jacobs, 6:30 p.m. Tuesday Two of the teams that look like they can compete for the FVC Valley title meet in their conference opener.

As usual, the Bears’ annual local pro day will be an eclectic mix, ranging from potential NFL picks to those who might find work in Canada.

But on Thursday, they all will try to leave their fandom behind and impress the Bears at the invite-only event at Halas Hall.

“It’s really a business trip,” said Ole Miss offensive tackle Fahn Cooper, who went to Crystal Lake South.

Ole Miss star receiver Laquon Treadwell, a likely first-round pick and the area’s best player, said he isn’t attending the pro day. But he added he’s scheduled to visit with the Bears soon. He already has visAP file photo ited the Browns, Cowboys, Vikings, Mississippi offensive lineman and Crystal Lake South alumnus Fahn Cooper runs a drill at the 49ers and Bengals, with others NFL Scouting Combine on Feb. 26 in Indianapolis. Cooper will be participating in the Bears’ pro scheduled. day Thursday at Halas Hall in Lake Forest.

Cooper, Northwestern fullback

Dan Vitale (Wheaton Warrenville South) and defensive lineman Dean Lowry (Rockford Boylan) are among the notable players invited.

All three have a good chance to be drafted.

“I’ve been a die-hard Bears fan my whole life,” said Vitale, the Wildcats’ versatile “superback” for four seasons. “Getting a call like that and a letter from (general manager) Ryan Pace is pretty cool, asking me to come out to their pro day.”

The Bears have eyed Vitale for some time and spoke to him at the Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine.

Cooper could be viewed as a swing tackle after playing both sides in college. His development as a prospect, going from a low-profile recruit to the College of DuPage to Ole Miss, could make him a good value.

“You need to have confidence in yourself and remain humble,” said Cooper, who has met with the 49ers and Titans. “It will lead to success.”

Hopefully, that continues Thursday at Halas Hall.

“I have to experience it and make the most of it,” Cooper said.

PREP ROUNDUP

Red Raiders rally Heiss, Jacobs edge with timely hitting Hampshire baseball

Overcome Goldberg’s early 2-run home run

By RYAN ALTMAN

sports@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – One of the Huntley baseball team’s main efforts to this point in the season has been to make sure its runners in scoring position actually reach home plate.

Lately, their coach, Andy Jakubowski, has started seeing it pay dividends.

“We’ve done a better job of situational hitting,” Jakubowski said. “We still have some more to grow on, but we’re buying into the concept, we’re getting into better counts and guys are barreling up the ball.”

After starting 0 for 3 with runners in scoring position and falling behind by three 21/2 innings in, the Red Raiders were in need of some timely hitting.

They got it in the next 41/2 innings, going 5 for 9 in the same situation, as they rallied to beat Woodstock North, 11-5, in a Fox Valley Conference crossover game at Huntley High School.

“It was very important because we had to keep the momentum going,” Red Raiders pitcher/third baseman Jeff Heinrich said. “[Woodstock North] got it early on, but we got it back pretty quick.”

The Thunder (5-5, FVC Fox Division) grabbed an early advantage after Jacob Goldberg’s two-run home run off Heinrich to right field. A pair of RBI singles by Jake Fiorito and Cory Busse extended the lead to 4-1 by the top of the third.

But by the bottom of the third, the Red Raiders (7-4, 3-1 FVC Valley) had other plans, sending nine batters to

the plate against Thunder starter Busse. On four hits and two walks, they scored six times. Ryan McGran’s two-run double tied the score at 4, while Trevor Ranallo put the Red Raiders ahead for good in the next atbat with an RBI single.

“These guys go hard every day, that’s the thing we love about them,” said Jakubowski, whose team has scored 37 runs during a five-game stretch. “They’re always going to compete one through seven (innings).”

For the Thunder, Goldberg finished 2 for 4 with two RBIs, while second baseman Marshall Coalson drove in a run on a double for the Thunder.

Despite the lack of late run production, Thunder coach John Oslovich likes the improvement his hitters have made in recent outings.

“We’ve been hitting the ball better coming off the last couple weeks,” Oslovich said. “We knew [Huntley] was going to hit. They’re a very good hitting team. We just tried keeping up and they just hit more than we did.

Jacobs senior pitcher Brenden Heiss was on top of his game against Hampshire, which was good for the Golden Eagles, who had little room for error.

Heiss struck out 12, walked three and did not allow a hit through six innings as the Eagles defeated Hampshire, 2-1, in their Fox Valley Conference crossover baseball game Wednesday at Jacobs.

Whip-Purs starter Michael Kruse also was tough, allowing five hits and one earned run through six innings.

Heiss, a hard-throwing righthander heading to Arkansas, was lifted after 95 pitches in six innings. Jeff Anders pitched the seventh, striking out two and allowing one hit.

Jacobs (9-1 overall, 3-0 FVC Valley) scored twice in the fourth inning when Tim Randl singled, Daniel Salomon reached on an infield single and both advanced on a passed ball. Casey Dennison’s sacrifice fly scored Randl

Then, North took a 9-8 lead in the top of the eighth. Schmidt bunted and Denz doubled to start the inning, then Nick Musielewicz was intentionally walked, setting up the play on which the tying and winning runs scored.

6 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS: BLUES 1, BLACKHAWKS 0 (OT)

Backes’ ‘ugly’ goal wins Game 1 in OT

By R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS – Throwing the puck toward the net turned out to be good enough for the St. Louis Blues to take the series opener against the defending Stanley Cup champions.

David Backes scored at 9:04 of overtime on a shot that deflected off a Blackhawks defenseman, and the Blues took the series opener, 1-0, Wednesday night.

“I said out there, that’s an ugly goal and I specialize in those,” the Blues’ captain said. “Rightfully so. First shot of the game for me, too.”

Backes’ shot got past Corey Crawford after bouncing off Trevor Van Riemsdyk’s skate. Defensemen Jay Bouwmeester and Alex Pietrangelo assisted on the winner.

“I kind of felt it hit the inside of my pad, and from there I was just hoping that it died,” Crawford said. “It was a tough bounce, but we’ve got to feel good about how we played.”

Brian Elliott earned his first career playoff shutout. Elliott, who led the NHL with a .930 save percentage,

liott said. “The guys came through.”

The Blues had 10 shutouts during the regular season, seven on the road.

Jake Allen had six of the shutouts.

Coach Ken Hitchcock thought there were enough chances for a 6-5 game, and thought the game-winner would be more impressive, too.

“I thought it would be a 2-on-1, top shelf,” Hitchcock said. “I wasn’t thinking fluky goal, but we’ll take it. We’ll take every win we can.”

St. Louis cruised into the postseason with the third-best record in the NHL, winning eight of its last 10 games.

The Blues opened their previous series against the Hawks with a pair of overtime victories, with Alexander Steen getting the winner in triple overtime in the opener. But the Hawks won the last four, two in overtime.

Cubs tie franchise For Jackson, it’s good be wanted, needed mark for best start to Outfielder providing

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – Are you one of those baseball fans who gets disappointed and irritated when it’s time to leave the ballpark because you haven’t gotten your fill of green grass and nachos?

Do you like having an extra hour or so to buy $8.75 ballpark beers? How about walks – you like walks?

Then the Cubs have the team for you.

A Cubs lineup that leads the majors in wearing out pitching staffs killed the Cincinnati Reds softly Wednesday night with yet another clinic in wait-for-it hitting, extending at-bats, extending innings, piling on and eventually walking away with a 9-2 victory that took 3 hours, 3 minutes to play.

Get used to it. This is by design. This is the kind of lineup – infused this year with Ben Zobrist and Jason Heyward – that Theo Epstein’s front office used to win two championships in Boston.

And it’s a big reason the Cubs are off to a 7-1 start that ties the best eightgame start in franchise history.

“I’ve had the privilege of having some pretty good teams,” manager Joe Maddon said. “This is probably one of the most potentially prodigious offensive club I’ve ever had.”

On this night, the Cubs had eight hits, 10 walks, reached on with a hit batter, scored nine runs and saw 159 pitches – through six innings.

“When I talk about the relentless nature of the group, you’re really talking about their at-bats from their very first pitch of the game,” Maddon said. “That’s been the big separator.

The way our guys come ready for the first pitch of the game, or every pitch that they’re going to see. Nobody’s out there mailing in at-bats. The at-bats are really well thought-out, and the guys are there in the moment.”

From the first pitch?

Leadoff man Dexter Fowler, who has ranked at or near the top of the league in on-base percentage since the opener, led off this one with a double, and the Cubs went on to a five-run first inning.

That included three consecutive one-out walks from the third through fifth hitters.

They knocked out Reds starter Alfredo Simon nine batters into the game – when pitcher John Lackey singled home the fifth run.

It’s barely a week into the season.

And the first big test doesn’t come until next week’s series in St. Louis.

But the early offensive results are

almost obscene. The Cubs lead the National League in scoring (6.7 runs a game entering Wednesday) and by far in walks (38).

“That’s our team. We swing at strikes,” said catcher David Ross, a career .229 hitter, who has gotten into the early act with a 3-for-10 start plus two walks. “We don’t game plan to try to walk. We go out there and we try to see strikes and hit them hard.”

The Cubs had only one home run in this game – Kris Bryant’s first, a solo shot off the left-field foul pole in the fourth. But they still piled on the runs and made Lackey’s life a lot easier in his Wrigley Field debut as a Cub. Lackey’s the guy who gave up six runs in his first three innings last week in Arizona and still got the win because of a Cubs lineup that poured on 14 runs in another marathon, drawn-out offensive night.

Wednesday night marked the fourth time in eight games the Cubs made the opposing staff average 20 or more pitches an inning.

“When you get a group mentality like that, where guys are willing to accept their walks, that’s [what you’re looking for],” Maddon said. “I think our guys are willing to pass the baton to the next hitter.”

solid defense and helping on offense

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

MINNEAPOLIS – Austin Jackson’s arrival in center field added depth and probably made the White Sox stronger in two positions with Adam Eaton moving to right field.

The Sox waited until spring training to make the move, signing Jackson to a one-year, $5 million deal, and eight games into the season, it’s looking like a winner for general manager Rick Hahn.

For Jackson, who appeared in 29 games as a utility outfielder for the 2015 Cubs, plus five postseason games, it’s good to be wanted. And needed.

“Absolutely,” he said before the Sox dropped the MinnesoAustin ta Twins to 0-8 with a Jackson 3-0 victory Wednesday.

“Being able to help and contribute day in and day out is something I’ve been accustomed to my whole career. Last year was kind of a fluke, you get traded to a team that really was going to be in the position they were in with or without me. It wasn’t like they really needed my help. That’s how I looked at it.”

The Sox needed the help, and Jackson has provided it defensively as well as being decent at the plate, taking a .273 average, three RBIs and a stolen base in his first six games.

When Jackson was signed, Eaton reiterated that he’d move away from center if that was best for the team.

Jackson signed with the Sox knowing center, his preferred position, was in the cards, but said, “I didn’t come in during spring training with any expectation about playing a specific position. I played all of them last year.”

The addition of Jackson has turned Avisail Garcia, a subpar defender, primarily into a designated hitter thus far. On Wednesday, manager Robin Ventura gave right-handed hitting Jerry Sands a start at DH, and Sands responded with a two-run homer that knocked out Twins starter Phil Hughes while giving the Sox a 3-0 lead in the seventh inning.

“We try to get him at-bats … that are

good for him, too, not just spots just to get him at-bats,” Ventura said before the game. “Hughes is better against lefties, he has that cutter that gets in, so it’s a chance to get Jerry in there and get him at-bats. I expect him to do well, too. It’s not a charity game for him.”

Hughes – who retired the first 10 batters – and Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon were locked in a scoreless duel before Jose Abreu got a run across by hitting into a double play with runners at the corners in the sixth inning.

Rodon (1-1) left after pitching six scoreless innings of two-hit ball. He walked five (one intentionally) and worked out of trouble after walking Miguel Sano and giving up a single to Trevor Plouffe to open the sixth.

It was the second strong start for the second-year pitcher, who has allowed 10 hits and struck out 12 in 13 innings. He’ll take a 1.38 ERA into his third start, which will be his first of the season at home against the Angels next week.

Dating to last season, Rodon has made 10 straight quality starts. Going into this one, Rodon was 5-3 with a 1.90 ERA during his previous nine.

Brett Lawrie had a double and was on base with a single when Sands homered. Jimmy Rollins had two singles.

Ventura said Tyler Saladino will play shortstop and Garcia will play Thursday afternoon when the series concludes.

4 Tips to Welcoming Your Adult Child Back Home SPONSORED BY By: Kallie Kouvelis In 2015, even as the job market picked up speed, the percentage of 25-to-34-yearold Americans living with their parents was still nearing 15 percent, a record high, according to the Census Bureau.

Graduating with major student debt, along with dropping out of college, unemployment, low paying jobs, high rent costs and breakups or emotional upheavals are many of the reasons why adult children are coming back home.

Dr. Chandragupta Vedak, a psychiatrist at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, Ill., says that past events in a parent-child relationship will impact the current living situation.

“The success of the relationship with your boomerang child will depend upon the historical quality of that relationship,” explains Dr. Vedak. “Finding that line between supporting and enabling your adult child is difficult.”

James Messerschmidt, a medical social worker at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, recently became a boomerang parent.

“We are happy to support our son with his plans as he saves up money to get an apartment and to ensure his future success,” he says.

Messerschmidt offers the following advice to other boomerang parents: 1 Treat this as another season to enjoy in your family’s life.

2 Remember that the return may be shortlived to allow your child to accumulate financial savings, which will help offer greater flexibility in near-term decisionmaking and ideally, better position them for future success.

3 Treat your child as an adult and talk about the importance of mutual respect, ground rules, boundaries and breathing room.

4 Texting is a good way to get their attention, even if you live under the same roof.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Curry shoots Warriors to 73rd win, 29, and the Bulls closed a disappointing season with a 115-105 victory over the breaking Bulls’ mark OAKLAND, Calif. – Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors took their last shot at Michael Jordan and history and they swished it – for 73.

Down to their final chance at the record, the Warriors became the first 73-win team Wednesday night by beating the Memphis Grizzlies, 125-104, breaking what many considered an unmatchable mark set 20 years ago by Jordan’s Bulls – oh, and Golden State coach Steve Kerr, too.

Curry achieved yet one more shooting milestone, becoming the first player to make 400 3-pointers in a season by knocking down 10 from long range on the way to 46 points and 402 total 3s.

Draymond Green had 11 points, nine rebounds and seven assists as defending champion Golden State (73-9) topped the Jordan-led 1995-96 Bulls who went 72-10.

Bulls wipe out big early deficit, top 76ers in season finale

CHICAGO – Nikola Mirotic scored 32 points, Justin Holiday added a career-high

Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.

Mirotic hit seven 3-pointers. Holliday made five from long range, matching a personal best. Jimmy Butler added 10 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

The Bulls wiped out an early 24-point deficit and led by as much as 19 to close out a less-than-golden 50th season on a winning note.

Kobe scores 60 points in farewell victory

LOS ANGELES – Kobe Bryant went out with a Hollywood ending to his remarkable career. He scored 60 points in his final NBA game Wednesday night, wrapping up 20 years in the NBA with an unbelievable offensive showcase in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 101-96 victory over the Utah Jazz.

Bryant scored 23 points in the fourth quarter, posting his first 50-point game since February 2009 and rallying the Lakers from a 15-point deficit to win the final game of the worst season in franchise history.

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley There are, however, guides who are not as well-known who charge less than top dollar.

Some guys starting out price themselves incredibly low for what they are expected to provide. Heck, I’ve seen some guys charging as low as $125 for a guide trip.

I even knew of one guy who charged $75 to take fishermen out on a bank fishing outing. They must not have much confidence in their abilities, because that kind of money is less than minimum wage after expenses. I believe expecting to pay between $350 and $500 a day, plus a tip, is right.

I never have mentioned this before, because I don’t want to set the bar on this either, but I believe $50 is an appropriate figure for a tip, especially if the guide taught you something, entertained you and, most of all, put you onto some good fish for the day.

The other letter I would like to share came from reader Gary Bitler, who wrote, “Your recent article about State Rep. Carol Sente (D-Lincolnshire) proposing restrictions on hunting and target shooting drew my attention as we have a major problem with target shooting in our neighborhood. We live in a neighborhood east of Richmond. While, of course, no one wants shots fired through their property and home, your article failed to cover the real problem. Noise.

“We are subjected, beginning anywhere from 7 to 8 a.m., to 12-gauge shotgun blasts going off every few seconds for hours on end every weekend or any other day they choose to go out and disturb the peace. Why is this an acceptable activity in a residential neighborhood? I was hopeful Sente’s proposal would become law and we could get some relief here, but of course not. Why is there a right for a few to make an incredible amount of noise and the rest of us have no right

to peace and quiet in our own homes?”

Well, Gary, I definitely have an opinion on this issue. I am going to share it with you readers, but I am going to wait a little while because I’d like to get the general opinion of my readership about this before I do.

No, I am not waiting to formulate my opinion based on public opinion. I don’t want to influence your opinions or get in any arguments with readers until you folks chime in with your letters and emails about the subject.

FISHING REPORTS Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from

Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “With the days getting warmer, the fishing will get better like someone flipped a switch.

Look for fish moving into shallow, dark bottom areas or wood and stumps that attract heat. Spinnerbaits, chatterbaits and shallow-running crankbaits all will work this time of year for bass. Crappie and bluegill will hit wax worms or small minnows.” Call 815455-2040 for an updated report.

Fox Chain report: Chris Taurisano of T-Bone Guide Service (www.tboneguideservice.com, 630-330-9090) sends word, “With the warm-up, fishing should improve greatly. Fish will be making their way into the shallows and the bite should be good. Water levels are up, and you can find some current that is holding walleyes. Jigs and minnows along with a few slow trolled flicker shads will yield some fish right now.”

As of Tuesday, the Upper Fox River and the Fox Chain were deemed to be open for boating by the Fox Waterway Agency, with the Lower Fox River deemed to be a “no wake” area. Get up-to-the-minute water conditions on the Fox Chain and Fox River at www. foxwaterway.state.il.us or call 847-5878540.

A regular reader from Cary who wished to have his name withheld wrote to me about a couple of past columns that addressed the subjects of learning to shoot and also about fishing guides.

“You wrote about people taking Illinois concealed carry classes who could not hit much more than the paper on the really big targets that are used for qualification. This needs to be talked about more. I am not a gun expert in any shape or form, but I do practice with some frequency at the terrific On Target & Tactical Center shooting range in Crystal Lake. One of the behaviors I see a lot is from people who are way over-gunned. Someone convinced them that they had to have the largest caliber handgun available to stop the standard hypothetical attacker.

“So, I see people flailing away with giant guns, missing everything and sometimes flagging other shooters.

Frequently, by the way, guys who think it’s a good idea to teach wives and girlfriends how to shoot will hand them a large-caliber pistol. Then, the recoil is a shock and the gun starts waving around.

“Everyone should start with a .22, preferably a revolver. Shoot that for a few months, learning the basics, and then gradually move up to the largest caliber that they can shoot comfortably and accurately.”

Those are good points. As for the guides, he went on to write, “$250 a day is cheap. Where can I find one of these guys, who is also good? I treat myself to one or two days of guided fly fishing each year. I expect to pay $350 to $500, plus tip. No one ever will provide guidance on the amount to tip, so I usually go $50 to $80. I’ve been out with a lot of amazing guides.”

I used $250 and $300 a day as examples, and maybe I shouldn’t have. Most of the guides who I placed on my list of recommendations get more than that.

I was not trying to lower the bar for them, as I believe they are elite guides who are worth every penny they charge clients.

The Jungle Book’ is dazzling

By LINDSEY BAHR The Associated Press

You practically can feel the beating heart of the jungle in Jon Favreau’s stunning adaptation of “The Jungle Book,” which easily is the most visually dazzling movie to hit theaters this year.

Like “Avatar” before it, this CG and live action interpretation of Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale of the boy raised by wolves feels like a momentous occasion in the technical advancements of cinema.

From the thrill of a distant waterfall to the terror of a mudslide or stampeding buffalo, Favreau and his visual effects maestros have created artificial living things that truly look and feel real.

Even the animals’ ability to communicate in English seems as natural as their breathing and emoting. They have not been sanitized to be cute or less threatening either – even the tender mama wolf Raksha (Lupita Nyong’o). They still look like wild animals and, for the most part, act like wild animals, too. At first, this actually makes their close interactions with the human boy Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi) even more disarming.

Eventually, your nerves calm and you submit to the magic of this world.

The story follows the same beats as Disney’s animated feature from 1967, but Favreau and his team made sure to up the intensity – the hyperrealism of the animals necessitates it. The tension created by the fact they all have claws and teeth and instinct to contend with always is there.

You’re already on edge by the time the tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba, in a truly stunning vocal performance that’s both terrifying and relatable) enters the picture. He adamantly believes humans should not be living among them. This sends the young boy on a journey to the human village with the stoic panther Bagheera (Ben Kingsley).

Anyone with the vaguest memory of “The Jungle Book” will remember the characters the boy encounters on the way – the snake Kaa (Scarlett Johansson), the bear Baloo (Bill Murray) and the orangutan King Louie (Christopher Walken).

Although it is somewhat distracting to have such famous voices overwhelming every scene, each does a fine job – especially Murray, who

“THE JUNGLE BOOK” STARRING: Neel Sethi, Bill Murray and Ben Kingsley PLOT: The man-cub Mowgli flees the jungle after a

threat from the tiger Shere Khan. Guided by Bagheera the panther and the bear Baloo, Mowgli embarks on a journey of self-discovery, although he also meets creatures who don’t have his best interests at heart.

RATED: PG for some sequences of scary action and peril RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 45 minutes brings a much-needed comedic lightness to the story with his affably conniving Baloo in the second act.

Sethi is energetic and enthusiastic as Mowgli – an adventurous kid who’s as unfazed by a handful of bee stings as he is a gargantuan snake. But for all the attention to detail, there’s an unnatural modernity to the dialogue he’s given that can be trying at times. For the most part he blends in as well as the sole human among wild CG animals possibly could be expected to.

On the subject of things seeming out of place, there also are two songs from the 1967 film integrated into the story – “The Bear Necessities” and “I Wanna Be Like You.” (“Trust In Me” plays over the credits). One works, and one really doesn’t.

Murray makes “The Bear Necessities” fit into his laid back existence as he hums and sings the song with Mowgli as they float down a serene river.

“I Wanna Be Like You,” however, is awkward and clumsy – a ditty of a song that comes out of nowhere. It makes no sense in the context of this world that Walken’s mob boss ape would just break into song. And, if he did, it definitely wouldn’t be this song.

Indeed, much of the third act feels more like a check list than plot advancement, and the emotional arc neither lives up to its source material nor the beauty of the visuals. Still, it is one of the stronger of Disney’s live-action adaptations and executed with such sincerity and technical prowess and inspiring ingenuity it’s more promising than anything else – a true family-friendly adventure that’s smart and often thrilling.

PILLARS OF FREEDOM ROCKIN’ WITH THE VETERANS

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

WHEN: 6 p.m. to midnight April 16 WHERE: Penny Road Pub, 545 Penny Road, Barrington COST & INFO: Featuring Amelia Presley (above), Pirate Radio and Saloonatics. A $10 cover charge will go to the Pillars of Freedom Foundation to support veterans. Veterans enter free. Information: www.pennyroadpub.com.

Yes, she’s related to that Presley.

It’s a question country singer Amelia Presley answers quite often. Gladly.

“From an early age, I knew he was my cousin,” she said of Elvis Presley. “My dad … he told me I was related to Elvis, and I thought that was really cool and just kind of wanted to follow in those footsteps and be a singer when I grew up.”

A native of Mississippi, Presley will perform for the first time in the Chicago area as part of a “Pillars of Freedom Rockin’ with the Veterans” event from 6 p.m. to midnight April 16 at Penny Road Pub, 545 Penny Road, Barrington. With a $10 cover charge (veterans enter free), the event will raise money for the Pillars of Freedom Foundation, which works to support and honor the military and first responders.

It’s a cause Presley seeks out. She enlisted in the United States Coast Guard in 2010, serving until 2015.

Wanting a steady paycheck to support her son, Garret, now 7, she explored a few service branches before deciding on the Coast Guard.

“The Coast Guard was kind of like, ‘We’ve got plenty of people.’ They didn’t return my phone calls for a long time. I kept calling. I just bugged the heck out of them, and they brought me in,” she said with a laugh.

Having begun songwriting and singing at an early age – influenced by classic country artists such as Patsy Cline and Hank Williams – Presley continued her pursuit of a musical career while in the military, with her service inspiring many of her songs.

She wrote her newest single, “Hard Headed Mama,” while stationed in Ala-

March and is working on a new album.

She released her first album, “No Pony Ride,” in 2013, naming it in honor of the horse and horse trailer she sold to afford the recording session.

She said she tries to keep her songs country, sticking with the simplicity and the beauty of classic country, but also offering up more in-depth lyrics.

As for any musical similarities to her famous cousin, she said, “I think there’s definitely kind of a mix between country rock and blues, but mostly country. I’ve got kind of a raspy voice, so it brings out some soulful blues too.”

She heard stories of Elvis growing up in Mississippi, where past generations of her family moved, disconnecting them a bit from the Presleys in Tennessee.

She remembers her father asking her “papaw” why he never invited Elvis to Mississippi.

“He said the reason he never invited Elvis down was because Elvis just wanted to play guitar. Why would he bring him down? He wouldn’t pick any cotton,” she said with a laugh. “That’s how my grandfather was. All he cared about was getting the job done.”

Now living across the street from the farm she grew up on, that’s what Presley aims to do when she walks over and asks what needs to be done. But she also wants to get the job done on stage.

“This whole journey I haven’t really known where it’s going,” she said. “It’s kind of been an experience where I learn as I go. You know, I want music to be my career. That’s always been my goal, and I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to that.

I’m definitely getting somewhere with it.”

“This guy called me up saying, ‘You can get out of the military, and I’ll take care of you.’ I wrote that song kind of like to say, ‘Are you insane?’ ” Another song – her favorite – is “Underway,” written while she completed military school in Virginia as a message to her son. Underway is a word used in the military to describe being deployed.

“It’s kind of describing why I was gone all the time. He was little, and he just knew I was gone for work,” she said. “I wrote the song to explain, ‘I’m doing this for you so you have health insurance and you’re taken care of.’ He didn’t understand it then, but I think he understands now that he’s a little older.’ ” Becoming an ambassador for Heart Songs for Veterans, in which artists from across the country in all genres of music donate songs to raise money for veteran and wounded soldier programs, Presley signed with the group’s record label in

McHenry shops, vinyl collectors anticipate Record Store Day Story by JAMI KUNZER – jkunzer@shawmedia.com Photos by SARAH NADER – snader@shawmedia.com

A

•••

ABOVE: Tim Wille, owner of Vinyl Frontier Records, works at his McHenry shop April 12. Wille has owned the record store for 11 years and has watched as interest in vinyl records has gone up and down. RIGHT: Kevin Kolar of McHenry buys some records at Vinyl Frontier in McHenry.

Slated globally for April 16 this year, the day– deemed a one-day record-buying frenzy – will feature special vinyl and CD releases, along with numerous promotional products and limited releases from all genres, made exclusively for the day.

“It’s gotten very corporate,” said Wille, a collector himself, particularly of European progressive metal albums. “The original meaning has all but disappeared.”

With online resales and such driving up costs, he said, the day no longer is about the brick and mortar of a record shop, where albums are traded, music experienced and a love of vinyl shared.

This year’s Record Store Day brings a slew of releases, from exclusive tracks from Tom Petty, Florence + The Machine, Jason Molin, Disturbed, Bob Dylan and others; to live recordings from The Sonics, Stephan Jenkins of Third Eye Blind and Madisen Ward & The Mama Bear; to collector sets, such as picture discs from the late David Bowie and the Creedence Clearwater Revival 1969 Box Set. For young fans, it includes the launch of a Disney Cruiser turntable, a Disney compilation and “Hello Kitty” picture disc, as well as special releases from artists such as The Weekend, Justin Bieber and Twenty One Pilots.

Vinyl Frontier Records is one of at least two record stores in McHenry County participating, with the three-yearold Siren Records in McHenry

also taking part.

Both stores intend to have free samples of beer created for the day by Chain O’ Lakes Brewing Company in McHenry. The brewery dedicated its “Ace of Spades” beer to Motorhead’s Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister, who died last December.

Vinyl Frontier Records will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. that day, also offering cupcakes from Kiera Confections in McHenry. Those in line before the store opens, as typically is the case, will receive doughnuts from Riverside Bake Shop in McHenry.

“In the past, you could see 100 people lined up at the door starting at about 4 a.m.,” Wille said.

“In the last two years, general enthusiasm has dropped. … It’s still a relatively good weekend, but it’s not what it was.”

Wille has seen interest in vinyl fluctuate with younger generations collecting because “somebody they know said it’s cool to collect.”

“There’s just a basic fascination with vinyl,” he said.

“It’s all over the board. The hipster crowd seems to like digging through the archives for Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

“Then you’ve got kids who are discovering funk for the first time. And Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd sell well every single day. There’s no telling who’s going to buy that.”

For a

sk a collector to explain the draw of a vinyl record spinning on a turntable, and you might get a complex answer about the warmth of the sound, the feel of the experience.

Or you might hear something simpler.

“Most of the collectors are men, and men are easily entertained,” joked Tim Wille, owner of Vinyl Frontier Records in McHenry for the past 11 years. “Something that spins in a circle, that you can see, that entertains a guy.”

Despite its origins as a way to celebrate and promote a thriving culture of record sales and the people who make up that world, Record Store Day (www.recordstoreday.com) doesn’t enchant Wille as much as it did when it began eight years ago.

Continued from page 11

At Siren Records, open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Record Store Day with albums spinning in a Biergarten, items in all areas, not just Record Store Day releases, were increased in preparation, owner Bill Linguist said. A bulk of it is black metal, he said, and “stuff that’s more kind of undergroundish because people always go to record stores to buy that stuff.”

The store also is focusing on releases from local bands, such as Elephant Gun, Le Tour, Pigma and the older McHenry band, Britvas.

“We picked up a dozen turntables just in case people are shopping and don’t have a table,” he said.

“We ordered a lot of the punk and the metal music. We’ll have your jazz and blues stuff, like B.B. King. You’ll have your Phish and your Grateful Dead, but a lot of people ordered that, a lot of different stores, so they’ll have a lot of it available. We ordered more heavily on the stuff our clientele will be searching for, all the punk and heavy metal.”

Like any commodity, interest in vinyl has had its ups and downs, he said, with TV shows, such as “American Pickers” and “Antiques Roadshow,” drawing more interest.

A collector himself, Linguist said, along with the “incredible” sound of an album spinning, the draw of vinyl often is what comes along with it, a poster, words written by the band, even in some cases an iron-on, such as those once released along with Kiss albums back in the day.

“There’s that connection with the band, and you lost that with the CD,” Linguist said.

Still, Record Store Day, at times, evolves into “people trying to make a buck out of it,” he said.

“They’re playing with a doubleedge sword right now,” he said. “They could kill the hobby or make more people in tune to the hobby.”

‘HAZEL’ IS A MUSICAL JOYRIDE

READ MORE STAGE NEWS AT NWHERALD. COM

REVIEWS Richard Pahl

Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace has launched its 2016-17 season with the world premiere musical comedy, “Hazel: A Musical Maid in America,” which runs through May 29.

The title character is based on the Saturday Evening Post cartoon by Ted Key, which first appeared in 1943, and the 1960s TV comedy series starring Shirley Booth. Director/choreographer Joshua Bergasse won the 2012 Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography for his work on NBC’s “Smash.”

As the show begins, Hazel (Klea Blackhurst) enters through the auditorium, directly addresses the audience and establishes a friendly, confidential relationship. This loquacious leading lady is about to interview for a new position and extols the advantages of reliable domestic help in “Ya Gonna Need Help.”

Blackhurst quickly wins the audience over with her extreme likability, big brassy vocals and sheer star power.

The year is 1965, and the Baxters, a modern couple, are hiring a live-in maid because Dorothy (Summer Naomi Smart) has snagged her dream job as an interior designer and no longer will be a stay-at-home mom for 8-year-old Harold.

We meet gadget-obsessed Harold (Casey Lyons) and his three geeky friends (Tyler Martin, Rowan Moxley and Ava Morse) as they sight what appears to be a UFO. This precocious kiddie quartet is a sweet, comic highlight throughout the show.

Meanwhile, Mr. Baxter (Ken Clark) is angling for a promotion at his law firm by signing a new client, wacky entrepreneur Bonkers Johnson (Ed Kross). After Hazel aces the job interview, she and Mr. B make a little wager in the thrillingly sung “Better Luck, Next Time.” And then complications ensue in the funny book by Lissa Levin, whose TV credits include “Cheers,” “Mad About You” and “Family Ties.”

“Hazel” is a comedic and musical joyride. The musical score by Ron Abel is sometimes jazz inflected and, at other times, evocative of ’60s pop.

An unexpected, thrilling surprise is the sweet ballad “Space” performed by sixthgrader Lyons, who exhibits talent and professionalism far beyond his years.

In addition to scenes in the Baxter home, viewers are transported to a soundstage, an Air Force agency office, an interior design office and an A&P grocery. Mr. Bergasse cleverly has staged a variety of musical numbers, in-

“HAZEL: A MUSICAL MAID IN AMERICA” WHEN: Through May 29 WHERE: Drury Lane Theatre, 100 Dury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace COST & INFO: The world premiere musical comedy, “Hazel,” based on the character created by Ted Key and the hit television series, kicks off the 2016-2017 season. Tickets start at $45. Tickets and information: www.drurylanetheatre.com or 630-530-0111. cluding a microwave commercial, a supermarket mambo and a solo with fishbowl. At one point, Hazel and Bonkers morph into the quintessential vaudeville team. The supporting ensemble is excellent, most notably Meghan Murphy and lightfooted Terrance Martin.

Set designer Kevin Depinet and costume designer Sully Ratke amusingly evoke the mid-60s with period wallpaper, avocado appliances, mod-

ern artwork, contemporary hairstyles and mod fashions. Not only is the production artfully lit by Lee Fiskness, but lighting serves as an integral part of the set design. The acoustics and sound design by Ray Nardelli are superb.

The conflict that sets this show in motion is the longstanding debate about whether a woman can navigate both a career and motherhood/marriage.

Not only does Dorothy confront that challenge, but the title character also is thrown off course by a magical kiss.

If “Hazel” is headed for Broadway, it requires another rewrite to focus its message and find a more organic resolution. This musical comedy is hugely entertaining and definitely deserves a longer life.

Twisted fairy tale

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

REVIEWS Anthony Walker “Into the Woods” by Stephen Sondheim is a tale of two musicals. The first half is a twisted tale where characters from different stories merge together to create a dynamic story of journeying for their fairy tale ending. Little Red heads to Granny’s, the Baker and his Wife try to reverse a curse to have a child, Rapunzel desires something beyond her tower, Jack and his Mother want out of poverty, Cinderella pines for a Prince and a Witch longs for her lost youth.

That doesn’t even count the wandering Princes, hungry Wolf, mysterious Mysterious Man and ubiquitous Narrator.

The first half concludes with the characters all getting what they want (minus the Wolf). Theatergoers be warned: There is a second half to this play. Several audience members had their coats on and were planning where to get a post-show drink when a friend informed them there was more to the story. It easily is one of the most confused intermissions in musical theater.

The “Into the Woods Jr.” version does away with the whole second act.

Perhaps Sondheim was a fan of Benjamin Franklin’s aphorism, “If a man could have half his wishes, he would double his troubles,” because the second half is more of a fractured fairy tale where the story continues beyond the happily into the ever after.

Director Billy Seger overcame the biggest limitation of the Opera House stage: the amount of playing space.

To tame the little stage, he limited the amount of static scenery. Other than an effective, rustic, open framework at the back and a once-used fireplace, the other set pieces were used very well. The major pieces were three large gilded frames used in different configurations to create various locations. This allowed the imagination to fill in the blanks, vital to any good storytelling. It also allowed for quick transitions and pacing.

To also aid in the storytelling, many cast members would enact the story being told behind the characters telling

Just as the first act and second act are different in their emotional content, the pacing of the second act is problematic. The first act is a bit of an adventure story; the Baker (Colin May) and the Baker’s Wife (Jillian Mayer) are combing the woods for four magical items to create a spell for the Witch (Jenny Bakakos). This quest brings them into contact with the other characters. The songs are lively and fun; the action constantly moving. However, the second act is filled with the classic Grimm experiences of disappointment, betrayal and death. The songs get longer, the tableaus behind the storytelling go away, the emotion gets deeper and the pace slows.

The second act also contains some of the best songs in the show. The biggest challenge with any Sondheim musical is the music. His tonality often is dissonant. His rhythms are arrhythmic.

The time signatures change to meet the composer’s whims. Seger and pit conductor Alyana DeVar were able to guide the talented cast through the majority of the patter singing and syn-

copated songs.

At the center of the cast is Narrator (the young and able Weston Anderson).

He is, at times, an observer, interactive at others. May and Mayer have a wonderful chemistry as the supernaturally sterile couple. Though Mayer is little, she is mighty, and May brings a sense of humanity and likeability to his role.

Jack (Daniel Marable) and Little Red (Tori Whaples) bring the joy of youth and a basketful of talent. Cinderella’s (Katie Fallaus) voice and persona shone no matter her state. Jenny Bakakos’ performance as the Witch is a little encumbered by a half-mask, until her

transformation when she is freed up to use her full instrument to play the wide range required by the role.

This production of “Into the Woods” is a wonderful time in the theater. It is comedy, it is drama, it is whimsy, and it is worth the lack of legroom to consider what it means to be happy ever after.

‘Arcadia’ engages at new Glencoe theater REVIEWS

“ARCADIA”

Regina M. Belt-Daniels

WHEN: Through May 1 WHERE: Writers Theatre, 325 Tudor Court, Glencoe COST & INFO: Production has a running time of 2 hours, 55 minutes (not including intermission). Tickets range in price from $60 to $90. For showtimes and tickets, call 847-242-6000 or visit www.writerstheatre.org.

Tom Stoppard’s plays always have given me headaches. His plays are not easy to summarize, wordy and always encourage second viewings. You must pay attention intensely, think, listen and unravel clues and symbols.

Highly regarded as Stoppard’s masterpiece, “Arcadia” contains elements of detective story, Newtonian physics, wit, Fermat mathematical theories, comedy of manners, time-jumping, and, well naturally, relationships.

At its very simplest, “Arcadia” is two stories, leaping between the 19th and 20th centuries. It’s often billed as a comedy-drama, but I wonder if there’s a more accurate genre to describe it.

Director Michael Halberstam has mounted a luminous, engaging inaugural production in the new Writers Theatre ($34 million project designed by renowned architect Jeanne Gang) in Glencoe. Collettte Pollard’s scenic design transports you to the Derbyshire Country Estate known as Sidley Park; it is a richly designed, pleasing oneroom Georgian set featuring a large library table used by all the characters, with no props ever removed.

There’s also an ancient tortoise in every scene, symbolizing endurance and continuity, but mostly used as a paperweight.

The costumes by Rachel Anne Healy invoke Jane Austen and modern day, Wellington-clad, country estate attire; her costumes are classic, chic and poetry in motion.

Initially, you might need a score card to keep track of the characters.

Many never make an appearance but are essential to the story, particularly the infamous Lord Bryon. The entire cast of 12 is flawless in physicality, line delivery and expression.

The lynchpin perhaps is tutor Septimus Hodge (Gregory Matthew Anderson) who recognizes his pupil Lady Thomasina Coverly (Elizabeth Stenholt) has ideas and theories about math, physics and nature that belie her 17 years and brilliantly are ahead of her time. Anderson plays Hodge handsomely as a cynical, hypersmart, well-mannered mentor who is not your ordinary tutor, while Stenholt is a vivacious, amazing and capable young actress.

Also in the past are the cuckholded, bad poet Ezra Chater (Rod Thomas), the witty and luscious Lady Croom

(Chaon Cross), her brother Captain Brice (Nathan Hosner), “irregular” landscaper Richard Noakes (Gabriel Ruiz) and steadfast butler Jellaby (Torrey Hanson). Actors Thomas and Cross are delightfully seductive in their own ways and extremely essential to the twisty plot.

Oher standout performances come from the characters set in the present day. Kate Fry, as author Hannah Jarvis, is aloof, taciturn and magnificent. Christopher Sheard, as Valentine Coverly, plays a quiet reserve that erupts into an intense passion for both his mathematical biology work and Hannah.

It is Scott Parkinson, as the scholar Bernard Nightingale, who antagonizes, infuriates and delights from the moment he enters. He is a flamboyant cad and, left unchecked, could eat up all the oxygen in the room. But he tempers and seasons Nightingale so much so you can’t dislike his character all the while you’re hating him.

Kudos to Alistair Sewell, who portrays both August and Gus Coverly with aplomb, and Calle Johnson as the innocent sister, Chloe Coverly, whose heart is broken by Nightingale.

The Writers Theatre’s new home is amphitheater-style, a modern wood, glass and brick structure. In no sense of the word is it a traditional theater. (Row A audience members are a constant distraction as they are in the actors’ light and space – a flaw that surely will be worked out.) By all means, accept the invitation to “Arcadia” and enjoy another memory of theater done well. As director Halberstam says in his program letter, “Lean forward and engage.”

Family And Freedom Lure Homebuyers To Meadowridge Villas In Sugar Grove The desire to live near family compelled Cathy and Larry Macari to move to Meadowridge Villas in Sugar Grove. The neighborhood from K. Hovnanian® Homes features 56 brand-new villas nestled within the existing Prestbury community.

When travelling from Bourbonnais to babysit their grandchildren each week, the Macaris casually researched condominiums in Sugar Grove and surrounding towns with the hopes of moving closer to their daughter and her family. After eight years, they decided that the timing—and community—was right when they landed on Meadowridge Villas.

“The number one reason we liked Meadowridge Villas was because it was created for people our age,” said Cathy.

A planned community for adults 55 and older, Meadowridge Villas features maintenance-free living—all yard work and exterior home maintenance is handled by the homeowners’ association.

“Living here, we don’t have to worry about snow removal in the winter or lawn care in the summer,” said Larry. “At this point in our lives, that is very important.”

Plus, right outside the Macaris’ door are all the amenities of Prestbury. These include tennis courts, a pool and the Cheshire clubhouse, which has a multipurpose room that can be rented, an outdoor patio, and kitchenette. Three lakes, two parks and a nature trail provide plenty of opportunities to experience the outdoors, as well.

“You can be as social as you like,” said Larry. For example, he links up with golfers in the community to play the nearby 18-hole golf course.

With tree-lined fairways and wellplaced bunkers and water hazards, it is a sporty yet challenging course.

It also has an outing facility, bar and dining room, halfway house, outdoor eating area, driving range, practice putting green, and pro shop.

erything they need—and none of the wasted space they don’t use. Overall, the Willow is more manageable for them.

“Meadowridge Villas is a very welcoming neighborhood,” said Cathy.

“The ladies get together once a month and there are always activities going on—there was even a holiday party.”

Larry, on the other hand, appreciates all the storage space, especially the basement.

In addition to the freedom of a maintenance-free lifestyle, Meadowridge Villas offered the Macaris the convenience of having everyday living spaces on one level. That’s because all four of the neighborhood’s designs boast luxury owners’ suites on the first floor. Floor plans range from 1,673 to 2,540 square feet with two or three bedrooms and two to three baths. Base prices range from $237,995 to $265,995 (prices subject to change).

The Macaris purchased a Willow floor plan, which they feel perfectly fits their needs. At 2,377 square feet, the Willow is about half the size of the home the Macaris owned in Bourbonnais, where they had a total of about 5,000 square feet from their 2,900-square-foot ranch with partially finished basement. However, the couple feels their new home has ev-

“I love the kitchen,” said Cathy, explaining that it has an 11-foot island plus a pantry. The couple upgraded the finishes to include white cabinets and black granite for a contemporary, polished look.

“We turned the second floor into an expansive guest suite complete with sitting/play area,” said Cathy. “This space works well for when the grandkids come over or if we need an extra bedroom for friends or family.”

During the homebuying process, the sales team at Meadowridge Villas was awesome, said Cathy. In fact, she still stops by to say hi. And as an unexpected touch, the couple received a basket from the construction team of useful items they would need after they moved in.

Both enjoy the first floor, where they spend the majority of their time.

The kitchen opens on one side to the dining room and on the other side to the family room, creating a wideopen layout for everyday living that is also ideal for entertaining. Abundant windows and sliding glass doors leading to the backyard allow in plenty of natural light and keep the space bright and airy.

The laundry room is conveniently located off the attached two-car garage.

A secondary bedroom adjacent to a full bath can be used for overnight guests or as a den, library or office.

Overall, the combination of a personable and professional building team, the right-size home, community amenities, maintenance-free living, and a location near family made Meadowridge Villas the perfect choice for Cathy and Larry Macari.

Also on the first floor is the owners’ suite, which boasts a walk-in closet and adjoining private bath with his and her vanities, a shower and linen closet.

Each Meadowridge Villas home shall be occupied by at least one resident who is 55 years of age or older. No person under the age of 18 years shall be a resident of the home. However, a person under the age of 18 may be a guest of a resident for no more than 30 days in any six-month period.

Upstairs is a third bedroom with walk-in closet along with a linen closet, full bath, and loft.

10301 Arabian Trail Downsizing - Much Furniture incl Bedroom Set, Matching Sofa & Loveseat, Sleeper/Sofa, China Breakfront, Entertainment Center, Tables, Household Items, Xmas Tree & décor & Much More, Everything Priced To Sell!

Last week, I wrote about the Jacoby Forcing Major-Suit Raise, responding two no-trump after partner opens one heart or one spade and the next player passes. I said that you could use simple rebids instead of textbook Jacoby. Not surprisingly, some emails came in asking for a description of Oswald Jacoby’s methods.

The opener’s top priority with his rebid is to jump to four of a five-card side suit that contains at least two of the top three honors -- as in today’s deal. Then responder will know if it is a double-fit deal and probably can count the partnership’s winners.

Here, North, over four hearts, with two fast diamond losers, control-bids five clubs, learns that his partner has a first-round diamond control, and jumps to seven spades.

How should South plan the play after West leads the diamond king to declarer’s ace? What would have been a more effective lead by West?

When in a grand slam, start by trying to find 13 winners. In this deal, you have four spades, five hearts, one diamond, one club and two club ruffs in the South hand. It is a dummy reversal. However, since the trumps are breaking 4-0 (nearly a 10 percent probability), South must be careful. He needs to draw one round of trumps using his king or jack, not dummy’s ace or queen. Then, when he sees the bad split, he plays a club to dummy’s ace, ruffs a club, leads a heart to dummy, ruffs the last club, draws trumps, and claims.

Yes, here, a heart lead would be fatal because it prematurely removes one of the necessary dummy entries.
