Car piece saga continues I really don’t get it. As a teenager, I was never into cars. I mean, sure, a brand new ’67 Ford Mustang was cool at the time, but budgetary restrictions eventually put me into the tattered driver’s seat of a not-so-brand-new ’55 Volkswagen Beetle. The kind without a radio. Or a gas gauge. Or heat.

As far as the mechanics of a car, I never learned how to repair anything. I thought pliers were used to round off bolt heads. A vise grip was a hearty handshake, and a Phillips screwdriver belonged to a guy named Phil.

So, through the years, if there was a problem with my car, I’d take it to a gas station and tell them that it was broken and asked them if they could they please fix it. My vehicular maintenance gullibility led me to pay for such parts as the glove compartment filter, headlight fluid and the menstrual cycle pin.

But, in the past few years, for some reason, I have become infatuated with old cars. In particular, pieces of them. Not parts, because I’ve been there before and I’ve paid for my last Kuhneutson valve. Nope, I’m talking about car pieces: doors, fenders, bumpers, hoods. Real pieces with real names. I may be auto-stupid, but I sure can tell the difference between a tail light and a license plate thingamajiggy.

I started my car piece collection small with a few old hubcaps. Then I set my sights on something a bit more significant. Something more weighty. Like an engine hood for a vintage ’68 VW Beetle that I found on eBay. It came shipped in a box too big for my wife to ignore … .

“Michael, what’s in the box from Maryland?”

“Would you believe miscellaneous office supplies from Baltimore?”

Well, the unpacking didn’t go well. The hood is in my office, and I am in charge of dusting it and hiding it when company comes.

I found my next piece in a reclaiming store. I reclaimed a ’65 Dodge D100 door and, at the same time, reclaimed my wife’s state of befuddlement.

That was last fall. Sufficient time has now

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava elapsed to push the envelope of matrimonial toleration of husbandly goofiness. I was ready to go for my ultimate unobtainium of car remains: the infamous “nose cut” of the car …from the front bumper to the grill and headlights.

My neighbor gave me a heads-up as to where I could find one, an antiques mall in Beloit. All I had to do was figure out an excuse to go there.

That was easy; our anniversary was coming up, and we could spend a day antiquing. And anniversaries mean presents, right?

As we cruised the aisles of the mall, I offered to buy my wife anything she desired. “Honey, if there’s something you really want, I want you to have it. You’re the best!”

So when I found her looking longingly at a little blue vase, I snatched it up, handed it to her, and said, “It’s yours, dearest.” She held it, smiled, and we walked on. On to the car booth.

There I found the front end of a 1970 VW Karmann Ghia. I glanced at the blue vase in my wife’s hand and then gazed yearningly at the car. Back and forth, forth and back. She sighed, touched my arm and softly said, “Michael, I know what you’re doing. But, for some crazy reason, I’m letting you get away with it. Go ahead before I change my mind.”

Ah, it is as Shakespeare said, “Folly blooms in the heart of a foolish man, for he knows not the true love of a fine woman ’til he clutches the rust of car metal to his breast.”

TODAY’S TALKER LAWSUIT: SEATTLE COMPOST ROTTEN

SEATTLE – A Seattle ordinance that bars people from throwing their coffee grounds, pizza scraps and other potential compost into their trash cans is being challenged by critics who say the liberal city is turning garbage collectors into trash investigators.

A group of homeowners has sued the city over the tactic, claiming it violates privacy protections provided by the state constitution.

The rule that went into effect early last year requires trash collectors to tag garbage cans that contain more than 10 percent compostable material with educational information.

The tactic is projected to divert as much as 38,000 tons of extra food waste from a landfill every year. Several other cities have passed similar food waste laws, including Vancouver, B.C., San Francisco and Portland, Oregon.

GETTING PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY

Catholic volunteer organization working to educate, mentor

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s northeast district, which includes McHenry County and parts of northern Kane County, receives about 14,000 calls a year from what it calls “friends in need.”

One of the most frequent types of calls are those from people asking for help with a utility bill, said Bob Hahn, the St. Vincent de Paul Society’s northeast district president.

Hahn said when they get a call, members of the international Catholic voluntary organization will meet with the person asking for help and find a way to pay their bill Len Bannon or put food on Hope Takes Action their table. planning committee “We’re not member making a lasting difference,” Hahn said. “In many cases, we’re making a temporary difference.”

And while providing short-term relief is important, a program initiated by the society called Hope Takes Action is aimed at addressing the root cause of poverty and getting people out of it, Hahn said.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s National Council started incorporating Hope Takes Action in

Peterson is a member of the commission with the new McHenry-based nonprofit introducing the Getting Ahead program, which incorporates 16 educational workshops and long-term mentoring for those suffering poverty. ABOVE: Peterson (left) and Rindal residents Susie McClendon (center) and Sharon Braskett discuss a fundraising program.

2012, and more than 300 communities throughout the country have now started similar programs. The first program is starting up in the McHenry area, Bill Meath said.

Meath, one of the founders of the McHenry-area program, said it addresses poverty in two ways – through Bridges Out of Poverty educational seminars for the community and a “Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin’-By World” workshop

series and mentoring program, created by aha! Process Inc. The seminars aim to promote an understanding that poverty is caused by a failure of systems and the need to change behaviors and a way of thinking, Meath said, and to encourage an understanding between different classes.

The second part of the program is Getting Ahead, which incorporates 16 educational workshops and

long-term mentoring for those in poverty, where people learn about the resources everyone needs to live a full life, outside of just financial needs, Meath said.

The program shows people in poverty that there is a possibility of change, and that they can be self-sufficient, said Len Bannon, a member of the planning committee

Pioneer Center cutting 103 jobs as services shift to other agencies

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com McHENRY – More than 100 people will lose their jobs at Pioneer Center for Human Services next month, but agency officials hope some of those employees will be hired by organizations absorbing the services Pioneer is shedding.

The McHenry-based agency gave notice to the state that it intends to lay off 103 full-time employees May 12 because of a permanent loss of programs, including adult outpatient behavioral health services.

The step is the latest Pioneer has taken in the past six months to slim down in the face of budget and billing issues.

Officials have started transferring adult behavioral services for nearly 900 clients to the Association for Individual Development, known as AID. With headquarters in Aurora, the agency also is interviewing employees to make the transition as seamless as possible, Pioneer board Chairman Mike Moushey said.

“Our main objective here is to main-

“The ideal state is the employees will go to the new agencies and the clients will want to maintain services with those employees.”

Mike Moushey

Pioneer Center for Human Services board chairman tain consistency of client services,” Moushey said. “That looks like it’s going to be maintained. The ideal state is the employees will go to the new agencies and the clients will want to maintain services with those employees.”

AID, Rosecrance of McHenry County and Thresholds of McHenry County expect to collectively hire between 40 and 50 clinical employees as they take over services previously provided by Pioneer, McHenry County Mental Health Board Executive Director Scott Block said. The board is responsible for awarding the

contracts for services.

Although there is no guarantee the new hires will be Pioneer employees, Block said a majority likely will come from Pioneer.

In the end, Moushey said Pioneer will have about 200 employees to serve its core mission of helping people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, maintain its group homes and Public Action to Deliver Shelter, the homelessness agency it absorbed in 2006.

Six months ago, Pioneer employed about 370 people, Moushey said.

To help employees who do not find new employment through the transition, Pioneer has brought the McHenry County Workforce Network on-site. Employees were notified of their layoffs in midMarch.

Officials have said the state owes the agency more than $1.5 million in late payments, which has exacerbated Pioneer’s funding struggles.

But, it also suffers from internal billing problems that have caused the agency to lose out on more than $2.5 million in behavioral health reimbursements.

Residents voice concerns on Longmeadow Parkway plan

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Village President John Schmitt spent more than two hours fielding questions from residents regarding the long-planned Longmeadow Parkway project at a town hall meeting Thursday night.

More than 100 residents attended and about 15 spoke about the contentious project, with all but one opposing the 5.6-mile, $115 million road.

Kane County Department of Transportation officials Steve Coffinbarger and Tom Rickert joined Schmitt in answering residents’ questions.

Schmitt began by addressing concerns he had heard, saying that Algonquin officials had ensured that trees along Longmeadow Parkway originally marked for removal would be retained and that Algonquin police would work to address any issues that arise with cut-through traffic.

Residents spent the next two hours citing concerns that included the impact of the project on property values, the safety and noise issues the road would bring, what impact it would have on taxes and how many trucks would use the road.

The two sides also argued whether studies cited in project planning, in-

Voice your opinion Do you support the Longmeadow Parkway project? Vote online at NWHerald.com. cluding a traffic impact study done in 2009, still were valid. One resident also questioned Schmitt’s motivation in supporting the road.

“I make $15,000 a year [as village president]. ... That’s what in it for me,” Schmitt said. “Everything I’ve done since the day I was first elected is try to find a way to have the future of my community be sound and fiscally solid and comfortable for its citizens. I know you don’t agree with that, and it’s fine.”

Schmitt said taxes John Schmitt would go up if Longmeadow Parkway were not built because the road would help attract business that would help fund the rising costs of schools.

He said the road was necessary to handle traffic from projected population growth.

In response to a question from a supporter, Rickert noted that more than $35 million had been spent on

the project already and that $55 million to $60 million of federal and state funds had been earmarked for this project.

Resident Gary Swick, who spoke on the project’s environmental impact, said the spent costs were not a valid reason to keep the project going.

“Let’s reconsider some things rather than just digging our heels in the sand and saying this is a done deal,” Swick said.

Residents also pointed to the recent Dundee Township referendum, in which 68.5 percent of voters said they wanted municipal officials to oppose the project.

“At what point in time do the village trustees start listening to the will of the people when they vote no and continue to vote no?” said Algonquin resident Jack Bavaro, who helped arrange the meeting. “The people in this room are here to tell you no.”

Schmitt said the wording of that question, which mentioned “air, noise and water pollution and negative impacts to property values,” made its results irrelevant.

Algonquin officials held a groundbreaking ceremony for Longmeadow Parkway in February, and construction of the first portion of the road is beginning this spring.

LAKE IN THE HILLS

3 arrested on multiple drug charges

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Three Lake in the Hills residents were arrested Thursday on multiple charges related to delivery and possession of a controlled substance, according to a news release from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

An investigation started about a month ago after police received information that Michelle M. Hall, 20, was Michelle dealing drugs, according M. Hall to the release.

Through the investigation, the release stated, police found that more than 2 grams of heroin was purchased

from Hall from her residence in the 400 block of Starwood Pass.

Police said they executed a search warrant and found drug paraphernalia and marijuana at her residence, which also resulted in the arrests of a family member of Hall, 27-year- Frank J. Hall old Frank J. Hall, and 26-year-old Megan B. Boettcher.

Michelle Hall’s charges ranged from unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia to unlawful delivery of a Megan B. controlled substance, Boettcher police said.

Her most serious charge, unlaw-

ful delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a park, is a Class X felony that could result in six to 30 years in prison.

Frank Hall and Boettcher were charged each with unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of marijuana, police said. The most serious charge, a Class A misdemeanor, could result in a year in prison.

Michelle Hall is being held in the McHenry County Correctional Facility on $200,000 bond, police said.

Frank Hall and Boettcher were taken into custody and have since bonded out, according to the release.

The investigation was conducted by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, Lake in the Hills Police Department and Crystal Lake Police Department.

Stoneybrook Park set for upgrades

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Stoneybrook Park is slated for upgrades this summer after village Parks and Recreation Director Laura Barron presented plans to buy updated equipment through a joint purchasing program.

A proposal from BCI Burke Company LLC was selected from five bids the village received for the equipment.

The equipment purchase is estimated at $55,000, and Barron said public works employees would complete installation.

According to documents from Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole

meeting, Burke’s proposal was selected based on its value, the variety of features for multiple age groups, visual appeal, and resident feedback indicating a desire for slides, swings and shades.

Most of the equipment at Stoneybrook Park, which is in the 600 block of Anderson Drive, was installed in 1996 and does not meet current accessibility standards or playground safety guidelines, village officials said.

Site improvements are expected to begin in May, with installation completed by the end of July.

Barron’s memo said the current equipment will be donated to Kids Around the World, a nonprofit that restores playgrounds and installs them in other countries.

CRYSTAL LAKE – A Crystal Lake-area barn will need to be torn down after its roof collapsed Friday, a fire official said.

Crystal Lake Fire Rescue District Chief Paul DeRaedt said crews responded about 4:30 p.m. to 5016 Edgewood Road, just outside of Crystal Lake, after neighbors called in saying a barn roof collapsed.

DeRaedt said the property is abandoned. No one was in the barn or injured in the incident, he said.

“We’re just figuring that the age of the barn and lack of maintenance eventually led to the collapse,” DeRaedt said.

He said McHenry County planning and development officials also were on scene to get an inspector to the property, and knock the barn down for safety reasons.

police departments beginning in 2017 after contracts were approved this week.

The executive board of SEECOM (Southeast Emergency Communications) voted to approve those contracts at its meeting Thursday.

The Lake in the Hills Village Board voted to approve the deal last month, making it the latest municipality to change dispatchers to prepare for a state-mandated consolidation of those services in 2017.

The consolidation follows a bill signed

by Gov. Bruce Rauner in 2015 requiring any county with at least 250,000 residents to reduce the number of dispatch centers by half.

SEECOM, based in Crystal Lake, will join the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and the McHenry City Police Department as the county’s three dispatch centers.

“The ability to save seconds provides the increased opportunity to save lives,” SEECOM’s Executive Director Jason Kearn said in a release.

Huntley’s Village Board approved the move in February.

DeKALB COUNTY

McCullough released from custody

Man walks free after 2012 murder conviction of 7-year-old Maria Ridulph

By KATIE SMITH

ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Jack McCullough walked free Friday for the first time since his 2011 arrest after a DeKalb County judge vacated his murder conviction, and he could be less than a week away from vindication.

McCullough, 76, was released on his own recognizance after Judge William Brady ruled that enough questions had been raised about the case that led to his 2012 conviction to merit a new trial. But a new trial appears unlikely.

McCullough left the DeKalb County Jail at 1 p.m., seated next to an investigator from the DeKalb County Public Defender’s Office in the back seat of a rental car. Hours later, DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack said he would ask the judge to dismiss the charges in connection with the 1957 kidnapping and murder of 7-year-old Maria Ridulph of Sycamore.

Photos by Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com “I would expect to file a motion to dismiss on Monday or Tuesday,” Jack McCullough smiles Friday from the back seat of his stepdaughter Janey O’Connor’s rental car after he was released from the DeKalb County Jail.

Schmack said.

Another hearing in the case reopening the case. has been set for Friday, and if the “These individual factors may judge agrees to drop the charges, not have raised to the level of reaMcCullough would be free to leave sonable probability of a different Illinois.

few occasions that I would give anybody a brief continuance to be represented by counsel, and it applies in this case, as well,” Brady said.

The only thing keeping McCullough in any jeopardy was Brady’s refusal Friday to declare him innocent, since he did not think prosecutors had purposely concealed the truth, as Schmack has said in court filing.

“I know both attorneys, and I’ve known them well, and it is not my belief there are ill motives,” Brady said. “... I cannot accept the invitation to what I believe would be ignoring the law of this case and ignoring the law of Illinois and enter an order of actual innocence.”

McCullough was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison in 2012, and his murder conviction was upheld by the 2nd District Appellate Court in 2015.

On Friday, however, he was at least partially vindicated.

“Mr. McCullough very much appreciates what was a thoughtful ruling by the court in granting his petition,” said his attorney, Gabriel Fuentes. “He appreciates the courage and independence of the prosecutor who worked to bring the truth forward. This was a very positive day for him.”

‘Wherever Jack wants to go’

With reporters closing in Friday afternoon, O’Connor hit the gas in a white Nissan. McCullough was in the back seat, sitting next to DeKalb County Public Defender Investigator Crystal Harrolle, who heavily re-

She is holding on to the hope that one day, Ridulph will stand beside her, equally as angry with McCullough’s conviction.

“Brion Hanley and Clay Campbell came to [Charles Ridulph] under the guise of friendship,” O’Connor said.

“They preyed on his family tragedy for their personal gain. They used his suffering and his pain to further their own agenda.”

Ridulph was not available to comGlenn Theriault Sycamore police ment Friday. His family hoped a Janchief uary hearing would be the last time they traveled to the courthouse to listen to McCullough’s pleadings.

Hanley was named Illinois State Police Investigator of the Year in 2013 for his work on the McCullough case.

In a March 24 filing, Schmack took Hanley and the Illinois State Police to task for their handling of the case, and said they “knew, or should have known, that [McCullough] could not have been involved in Maria Ridulph’s murder.” Schmack also concluded that Campbell had ignored exculpatory evidence and introduced false testimony at trial.

But Ciesynski, who was there for both McCullough’s arrest and trial, remembers nothing other than a spotless prosecution and investigation.

“The Illinois State Police and DeKalb State’s Attorney’s Office did a great job. They really, really did,” he said. “So now, I really believe this is a travesty. There’s no doubt in my mind that he committed this crime.”

Schmack has said his office isn’t likely to further pursue the case, and suspects the person responsible for killing Maria’s could be dead – or in prison for another crime. But local police aren’t ready to quit investigating, Sycamore Police Chief Glenn Theriault said.

“I’ll be looking forward to meeting with State’s Attorney Schmack to see how he suggests we proceed with what, according to him, is an open homicide case in our community,” said Theriault, who took over as chief after McCullough’s conviction.

“That’s something that clearly has to be solved. “ ... There’s no such thing as too cold. It’s the homicide of a young girl.

I can’t imagine anyone would call that too cold or not worth investigating.”

HARVARD – The Harvard Moose Lodge is holding an aviation-themed dinner and fundraiser Saturday.

Judge issues bench warrants for couple Pair accused of drug possession; believed to have left residence and possibly jurisdiction

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge issued bench warrants for a Crystal Lake couple accused of possessing more than 900 grams of cocaine.

Judge Michael Feetterer granted Assistant State’s Attorney Randi Freese’s motion Friday and issued a no-bond bench warrant for Aquiles T. Rangel, 49, and De Victoria Rangel-Cortes, 42.

Rangel and Rangel-Cortes were arrested in December 2014 after Crystal Lake police executed a search warrant

at their residence at 598 Chardonnay Lane. Police said they found cocaine, prescription medication, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

After the arrests, bond was set for $100,000 for both defendants, and the two posted bond in January 2015.

Rangel was expected to plead guilty April 18 after accepting the state’s plea agreement in January. Rangel-Cortes Aquiles T. has a court date set for Rangel April 19.

Both Dan Hoffmann and Francisco J. Botto, the couple’s attorneys, said they haven’t had contact with their clients recently but that they never previously missed a court appearance.

Cook sheriff: Public has right to see jail videos

By JASON KEYSER

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The sheriff who oversees one of the nation’s most crowded jails voluntarily released video Friday that shows half a dozen incidents of excessive force by deputies at the Cook County Jail in Chicago, and he said the public has a right to see it.

The videos show violent encounters between jailers and inmates, including one in which an inmate is dragged through hallways by several officers, thrown into a cell and left with blood spattered on his shirt. Another shows two officers pushing a detainee to the ground, with one of the jailers kicking him in the shoulders or face. Thirteen officers were fired or otherwise disciplined because of the incidents.

Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said he decided to release videos in cases where a civilian oversight board has sustained allegations of excessive force, without waiting for Freedom of

WASHINGTON – Illinois has certified the results of its March 15 presidential primaries, and candidates in both parties picked up a few delegates.

The contours of both races, however, are unchanged. Hillary Clinton still has a big lead in the Democratic race, and Donald Trump still is leading among Republicans.

Democrat Bernie Sanders picked up four delegates, and Clinton added three.

Clinton has 1,292 delegates and Sanders has 1,042, based on primaries and caucuses.

Hastert judge won’t consider support letters unless public

CHICAGO – The judge in Dennis Hastert’s hush-money case said that if the former U.S. House speaker wants letters of support considered during his sentencing, they must be made public.

Hastert is to be sentenced April 27 after pleading guilty last year to breaking federal banking laws.

Prosecutors said Hastert sought to pay $3.5 million to a man to keep him from divulging sexual abuse that occurred while Hastert taught high school and coached wrestling from 1965 to 1981 in Yorkville.

After first telling the FBI he withdrew large sums of money because he didn’t trust banks, Hastert later told investigators he was the target of a bogus

ability of the sheriff’s office to hold accountable both officers who use excessive force as well as inmates who attack officers,” Dart’s office said in a statement Friday.

One of the released videos helped investigators determine that an officer kicked a handcuffed inmate in the face while the inmate was on the ground. The detainee told investigators the January 2012 confrontation began when he protested that his handcuffs were too tight.

The video shows several officers dragging him by his arms and legs through hallways before dumping him on the floor of a cell. What hap-

sexual abuse claim, prosecutors allege.

U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Durkin said in a Thursday filing that the court won’t consider 60 letters of support for Hastert unless they are filed publicly. The letters were attached to a previous, sealed filing, which conceals the identities of individuals making a case for leniency on behalf of Hastert.

“Usually, letters attesting to a defendant’s character are part of the public record,” the judge’s filing said. “If the defendant wants the court to consider any of these letters ... the defendant must publicly file the letters.”

Hastert’s attorneys said Friday they had no comment.

Prosecutors said Hastert abused at least four boys while he taught and coached at Yorkville High School.

They have not asked for a specific sentence for the 74-year-old Republican, whose attorneys have requested probation. Durkin could impose the maximum penalty of five years in prison.

pens next is a bit unclear on the video because another officer is blocking the view, but the civilian Cook County Sheriff’s Merit Board ruled that officer Luis Zuniga kicked the detainee in the face.

The video, recorded by Zuniga’s supervising officer, shows the inmate’s upper body jerking back. The audio picks up what sounds like the detainee grunting in pain. It also includes audio of one of the officers warning others that the camera is recording.

As the officers shut the cell door, the detainee stands up with blood soaking his shirt. His face was blurred to protect his identity, but the Merit Board said his nose and mouth also were covered in blood.

Zuniga, who denied kicking the detainee, was fired. His direct supervisor, Sgt. James Elwood, was suspended without pay for 120 days for failing to report the excessive force, not immediately activating the camera and occasionally obstructing the view by covering the lens with his finger.

U of I student panel wants to consider new mascot

URBANA – Nine years after the University of Illinois retired Chief Illiniwek, a student committee is recommending that the school consider a replacement.

The Ad Hoc Committee on the Exploration of a University Mascot recommended that administrators create a process to potentially pick a mascot.

University spokeswoman Robin Kaler told The News-Gazette that interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson plans to meet with students to discuss the report.

The Student Senate already has endorsed the idea.

The university stopped using Chief Illiniwek in 2007 under pressure from the NCAA. The committee said a new mascot could give the school something to rally around, and the idea appears to be supported by at least a small majority of students. The committee found that most alumni, however, are opposed to the idea.

Prosecutors oppose Chicago cop skipping court hearings

CHICAGO – Prosecutors are challenging a request by a white Chicago police officer to be allowed to skip routine hearings in a murder case in which he’s charged with killing a black teenager.

Lawyers for Jason Van Dyke asked a judge last month to waive his presence in court, saying prior appearances resulted in threats of violence against him.

Van Dyke is accused of shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times in 2014. The shooting has prompted a federal investigation of the Chicago Police Department. A task force appointed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel has recommended wholesale reforms of the department.

Cook County prosecutors said that although verbal threats and taunts may make Van Dyke uncomfortable, “mere words do not jeopardize [the] defendant’s personal safety.”

No protesters were present at Van Dyke’s court appearance last month.

NATION BRIEFS Cruz defended Texas ban allows places of worship to on sale of sex toys in state designate members to undergo

AUSTIN, Texas – Defending a Texas state law banning the sale of sex toys, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz argued in a 2007 court brief that individuals have no legal right to use them, even in the privacy of their own bedrooms.

Before becoming a U.S. senator, Cruz was Texas’ solicitor general for more than five years, arguing the state’s legal positions in court.

The law, approved in the 1970s, banned as obscene any device “useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.” The same law also declared that anyone possessing six or more such items was presumed to be promoting sextoy usage through manufacture, sale, lending, delivery or other means.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court of Appeals later ruled that the Texas law violated 14th Amendment privacy rights.

firearms training so they can provide armed security for their congregations. It specifies that those designated can carry guns into church buildings and gives them legal protections.

The law also loosens gun permit requirements by allowing people to carry holstered weapons without a permit, making Mississippi the ninth state with such a law, said NRA spokeswoman Amy Hunter.

Michigan urges toughest lead rules in U.S. after Flint crisis DAVID EGGERT

The Associated Press LANSING, Mich. – Michigan would have the toughest lead testing rules in the nation and require the replacement of all underground lead service pipes in the state under a sweeping plan that Gov. Rick Snyder and a team of water experts unveiled Friday in the wake of Flint’s water crisis.

Other proposals include requiring utilities to test all schools, day care centers, nursing homes and similar facilities – not just some people’s houses – and the mandatory disclosure of lead plumbing in home sales and rental contracts.

The plan was given to The Associated Press before it was presented to a committee that Snyder appointed to work on long-term fixes related to Flint’s lead-tainted water crisis. It is unclear how much the proposal will cost, and the policy workgroup purposely did not take funding into account.

The GOP governor said at Friday’s meeting in Flint that he wants a “marker in the ground,” and he expects the plan to generate legislative

debate and a better accounting of cost considerations.

Under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rules, water systems across the country must take steps to control corrosion if lead concentrations exceed 15 parts per billion in more than 10 percent of customer taps sampled. Michigan would move by 2020 to a limit of 10 parts per billion – in line with the World Health Organization’s standard.

The federal lead standard is “dumb and dangerous,” Snyder said. The governor, who has apologized for his administration’s failures in the Flint disaster, noted that the EPA will not propose revisions until 2017, saying: “Let’s set a higher standard faster.”

The impoverished city of nearly 100,000 residents is under a monthslong state of emergency. Residents are urged to use faucet filters or bottled water until damaged pipes are effectively recoated with anti-corrosion chemicals that were not used for 18 months after Flint temporarily switched water sources to the local river in 2014 while under state financial management.

Dangerously high levels of the metal were detected in

the blood of some residents, including children, for whom it can cause lower IQs and behavioral problems.

“We gathered the right group of experts to come up with a solution that we need for Michigan but that can be translated nationwide,” said Mike Zimmer, Snyder’s cabinet director and a panel member who helped devise the proposed changes with a group that includes water experts such as Virginia Tech professor Marc Edwards.

Michigan is estimated to have 460,000 lead lines running from water mains to homes and buildings in older neighborhoods, third-most in the U.S. behind only Illinois (730,000) and Ohio (650,000), according to the American Water Works Association.

Zimmer cited a recent AP analysis of EPA data that found that nearly 1,400 water systems serving 3.6 million Americans exceeded the federal lead standard at least once from January 2013 through September 2015. Just a fraction of schools and day care centers nationwide are required to check for lead because most receive their water from municipal systems that test at other locations.

Twin quakes kill at least 29 in southern Japan; many trapped

By EMILY WANG and MARI YAMAGUCHI The Associated Press

MASHIKI, Japan – Two powerful earthquakes a day apart shook southwestern Japan, killing at least 29 people, trapping many others beneath flattened homes and sending thousands of residents to seek refuge in gymnasiums and hotel lobbies.

The exact number of casualties remained unclear as rescue efforts continued to unfold Saturday.

Kumamoto Prefectural official Tomoyuki Tanaka said the death tolls were climbing by the hour, with the latest standing at 19 from Saturday’s magnitude-7.3 quake that shook the Kumamoto region on the southwestern island of Kyushu at 1:25 a.m. On Thursday night, Kyushu was hit by a magnitude-6.5 quake that left 10 dead and more than 800 injured. Tanaka said reports on injuries were changing quickly, and he did not yet have any number.

A series of aftershocks ensued, including a magnitude-5.4 Saturday morning. The Japan Meteorological Agency said that the quake that struck earlier Saturday may be the main quake, with the earlier one a precursor.

The quakes’ epicenters have been relatively shallow – about 6 miles – and close to the surface, resulting in more severe shaking and damage.

Japanese media reported that nearly 200,000 homes were without electricity. Drinking water systems also had failed in the area. Japanese TV news footage showed people huddled in blankets, quietly, shoulder to shoulder, on floors of evacuation centers.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said in an emergency news conference early Saturday that more than 300 calls came in to the Kumamoto police and another 100 to police in nearby Oita, seeking help and reporting people trapped or buried underneath debris.

He said 1,600 soldiers joined rescue efforts. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said damage from the magnitude-7.3 quake could be extensive.

The Nuclear Regulation Authority reported no abnormalities at Kyushu’s Sendai nuclear plant.

Public broadcaster NHK TV showed stones tumbled from the walls of historic Kumamoto Castle, and a wooden structure in the complex was smashed.

At the Ark Hotel, east of the castle, hotel guests woke up to strong shaking and a warning siren. Hotel staff told guests, including tourists and journal-

ists covering the quake, to evacuate their rooms and gather in the lobby for safety.

A bright spot, broadcast repeatedly Friday on TV, was the overnight rescue of an apparently uninjured baby, wrapped in a blanket and carried out of the rubble of a home.

Saturday’s quake hit residents who still were in shock from the previous night’s earthquake and had suffered through more than 100 aftershocks.

Yuichiro Yoshikado said Thursday’s quake struck as he was taking a bath in his apartment in Mashiki.

“I grabbed onto the sides of the bathtub, but the water in the tub, it was about 70 percent filled with water, was going like this,” he said, waving his

arms, “and all the water splashed out.

“It’s as if all control was lost. I thought I was going to die, and I couldn’t bear it any longer.”

Yoshikado, whose building was undamaged despite the intense shaking, checked the damage at his aunt and uncle’s home nearby. Kitchenware was scattered on the floor, and a clock had stopped around 9:26 p.m., the time of Thursday’s quake.

The latest victim of Thursday’s quake was killed in a fire in the city of Yatsushiro, the Kumamoto Prefecture official said, adding that two other people were in a state of heart and lung failure. The nine other dead included five women and four men, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said.

BRIEFS House GOP misses budget deadline amid caucus divisions

WASHINGTON – House Republicans departed Washington, D.C., on Friday having missed a deadline to pass their long-stalled budget and without appearing to revive it despite the embarrassment for the party and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Continuing divisions between tea party lawmakers and House GOP leaders also shelved an effort to address an economic crisis in Puerto Rico. The White House is amping up the pressure on Republicans over delays in providing money to combat the Zika virus.

The budget failure, while troubling for Ryan, R-Wis., isn’t stopping the once-dominant House and Senate Appropriations committees from commencing work on spending bills. But trouble on the House floor awaits, where only a handful of the measures seem sure to advance.

The budget fight has its roots in last year’s bipartisan budget deal with President Barack Obama, which required Democratic votes to pass and added more than $100 billion over two years to agency coffers hit by automatic budget curbs known in Washington-speak as sequestration.

Brazil begins presidential impeachment debate

BRASILIA, Brazil – The lower chamber of Brazil’s Congress began a raucous debate Friday on whether to impeach President Dilma Rousseff, a question that underscores the deep polarization in Latin America’s largest country and most-powerful economy.

If lawmakers approved the measure in a vote slated for Sunday, it gets sent to the Senate, where an impeachment trial could take place, prompting the president’s suspension from office.

The atmosphere in the lower Chamber of Deputies was electric, as Rousseff’s critics festooned themselves with yellow and green ribbons.

Lawmakers backing impeachment allege Rousseff’s administration violated fiscal rules, using sleight-of-hand accounting in a bid to shore up public support. However, many of those pushing for impeachment face grave accusations of corruption themselves, prompting Rousseff and her supporters to decry the whole process as a bold-faced power grab by her foes.

An F/A-18 jet fighter takes off Friday from the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis in the South China Sea. He said the only reason America’s presence in the region comes up as an issue is because of China’s behavior over the last year – and “that’s a question of Chinese behavior.”

“What’s new is not an American carrier in this region. What’s new is the context of tension which exists, which we want to reduce,” he said.

Rear Adm. Ronald Boxall, the com-

ABOARD THE USS JOHN C. STENNIS – For the second time in five months, Defense Secretary Ash Carter landed aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier in the bitterly contested South China Sea, sending a deliberate message to China on American power in the region.

With a key Asia Pacific ally at his side, Carter’s visit aboard the USS John C. Stennis underscores persistent complaints from the U.S. and its allies in the region about China’s military build-up in the South China Sea. Beijing has been creating manmade islands, and equipping many with runways, fighter aircraft and other weapons.

Carter stood alongside Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin as they watched U.S. Navy fighter jets launch into the vivid blue skies, about 70 nautical miles west of the island of Luzon.

Later in the massive gray ship’s hangar bay, Carter said his message in making the trip is that the United States “intends to continue to play a role in keeping peace and stability in this region.”

they should, we’re operating where we think we should. They generally have professional discussions over the bridge about where we are.”

Under a blazing sun, as the heat index pushed past 100 degrees, Carter landed on the Stennis in a Marine V-22 Osprey.

He spent about two hours on the ship, watching a number of fighters shoot into the sky off the flight deck, do circles around the Stennis and then land again, roaring to a stop as their tailhook caught the arresting wire.

He later spoke to several hundred sailors in the hangar bay, including one who asked why the U.S. allows China to participate in the large annual military exercise in the Asia Pacific.

Carter said the U.S. wants to work together with China, and added that Beijing should not isolate itself.

The U.S. insists that the increasing American presence in the South China Sea and the broader Asia Pacific is meant to show support for allies and is not aimed at any one nation.

But the U.S. military presence also reinforces Carter’s assertion that America will continue to fly and sail throughout the region, despite China’s claims of sovereignty over the vast South China Sea.

THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN

Helping the homeless Thumbs up: To the McHenry County Community Foundation, for again matching 2 to 1 every dollar up to $100,000 raised during this year’s SleepOut For Shelter, Pioner Center/PADS’ primary fundraiser for homeless services in McHenry County. For one night, event participants spend the night outside in tents, boxes or cars to raise awareness and money for PADS. This year’s event will be held from 3 p.m.

Saturday, May 14, until 7 a.m. Sunday, May 15, at Church of Holy Apostles, 5211 Bull Valley Road, McHenry. For more information, to register or donate, visit http://www.sleepoutforshelter.org/.

Thumbs up: To the schools and law enforcement involved in Operation Click for continuing to promote safe driving to area high school students.

This week, the program again gave away free cars to winners selected from a group of students from 14 schools in McHenry and Kane counties. The program has always focused on seat belt use but is also making an effort to call attention to other safety issues, such as texting and driving and passenger limits.

Thumbs down: To Melodie Gliniewicz, for applying to receive the pension of her husband – disgraced Fox Lake Police Lt. Joe Gliniewicz, who staged his suicide to appear that he was slain by assailants. Melodie Gliniewicz is charged with having a role related to funds that prosecutors say her husband stole from a police explorers program.

Although she is presumed innocent under the law, her husband has cost taxpayers quite enough.

Thumbs up: To the Salvation Army of McHenry County for starting a brown bag lunch program for the homeless. The local chapter will offer brown bag lunches from May to September at sites throughout the county. This worthy program still will need continuous support, and those wanting to help or donate could contact 815-455-2769.

Thumbs up: To organ donors. A story in Thursday’s Northwest Herald written by reporter Caitlin Swieca reported on an Oakwood Hills father and son who went through a kidney paired donation, which allowed the son to receive a much-needed new kidney years earlier than he otherwise would have.

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. April marks National Donate Life Month.

Illinois residents can join the Organ/Tissue Donor Registry at www.ilsos.gov/organdonorregister.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Simpler tax laws needed to curb shelters Americans’ faith in their financial system has rarely been so low. Presidential candidates in both parties, from Sen. Ted Cruz on the right to Sen. Bernie Sanders on the left, argue that our politicians are bought by Wall Street and that regulators are captured by the industries they oversee.

Eight years after the global financial crisis, politicians are tapping into deep skepticism among Americans about the way money flows here and around the world. The skepticism has had impact beyond the campaigns: It has helped stall, for instance, important trade agreements like the Trans Pacific Partnership and stoked opposition to the Export-Import Bank.

Comes now one more blow.

About 11.5 million documents taken from a single Panamanian law firm reveal the way the global elite – from world leaders to ordinary rich folks – have taken ad-

vantage on a massive scale of laws that permit secretive and often suspicious transactions to remain covert and nearly untraceable.

Already, Iceland’s prime minster has resigned. Spanish authorities are looking into possible tax violations by an offshore firm revealed to be owned by the aunt of the reigning Spanish king.

So far, Americans have not been named among the dozen or so world leaders found to have had hidden interests in off-shore companies. But USA Today has reported that the documents do reveal that the law firm in Panama has helped create more than 1,100 offshore firms in America in the past 15 years, mostly in Nevada and Wyoming. I We should be clear: Establishing a company in Nevada, even if its owners, employees, and primary business functions all are located in another country, isn’t usually illegal. It’s legal in the same way that major American

corporations have in recent years kept profits from overseas sales parked in offshore accounts in order to avoid paying U.S. taxes.

But as President Barack Obama told reporters last week.

“The problem is that a lot of this stuff is legal, not illegal.”

The U.S. Treasury Department is on the cusp of announcing another round of rules that will require banks to know who their customers are, and what their business is. That’s a start.

A simpler tax code – with fewer incentives to shelter ownership – is another.

In the meantime, companies – and the law firms and accountants and banks that help them – that continue to use such tactics to avoid taxes and shield from scrutiny both their owners and their operations must cop to their role in furthering the mistrust ordinary Americans have for their financial system.

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.

The Dallas Morning News

VIEWS Austin Berg Jersey as the state with the highest property taxes. Many homeowners in Illinois are now paying twice for their houses over their lifetimes – once to the bank, and once to the government through property taxes.

A look into the nature of local spending in Illinois reveals big opportunities for sorely needed property-tax savings through government consolidation, and also shows the high costs shouldered by Illinoisans due to decades of political inaction.

But the drama over a few miles of Naperville pavement illustrates how the road to consolidation is often littered with obstacles.

One bipartisan bill being considered in Springfield would help smooth the consolidation process for many local governments. House Bill 4501 would allow county boards to dissolve certain units of local government via ordinance, a power already enjoyed

by DuPage County.

While this is a step in the right direction, local governments will need more than the powers granted by HB 4501 to tackle major cost drivers to prevent property-tax bills from growing even higher.

For example, prime candidates for consolidation are Illinois’ 859 local school districts, which consume nearly two-thirds of the $27 billion in local property taxes collected across the state each year. According to data from the Illinois State Board of Education, a quarter of Illinois school districts serve only a single school, a third serve fewer than 600 students, and more than 40 percent serve only one or two schools.

Forthcoming research from the Illinois Policy Institute shows that reducing the number of school districts by half could lead to annual operating savings of $130 million to $170 million and could conservatively save the state $3 billion to $4 billion in pension costs over the next 30 years. In terms of the number of school districts per student, the move would put Illinois between California and Texas.

Beyond consolidating small school districts, many larger communities would be well-served by merging elementary school districts with high school districts.

The Homewood-Flossmoor area is home to two K-8 school districts and a high school district, an inefficient setup mirrored across the state. Instead of having a single “unit” school district that covers all schools in the area, taxpayers shoulder the burden of three separate administrative staffs, which contain duplicative and

overlapping positions.

The base salaries of all three districts’ staffs cost Homewood-Flossmoor-area taxpayers nearly $5 million a year. By consolidating those three staffs into one, Homewood-Flossmoor could save local taxpayers millions of dollars annually. Consolidating the three superintendent positions into one would alone save $500,000 each year.

Consolidation focused on cutting unnecessary costs from school-district administration – and not on equalizing salary contracts or funding new facilities, as has plagued similar efforts in the past – is a fair and necessary step in communities across Illinois.

The same goes for road districts, mosquito-abatement districts, park districts, library districts and more.

But as long as state and local politicians fail to trim Illinois’ glut of government units, taxpayers will continue to be crushed under the weight of ever-higher costs. Transparency, accountability and fiscal responsibility all depend on consolidation in Illinois.

Megyn Kelly is winning the 2016 election season

By Callum Borchers The Washington Post

Donald Trump is accidentally turning Megyn Kelly into a superstar.

There’s just no other way to interpret the result of his relentless and personal attacks on the Fox News Channel anchor.

A report that Kelly had been spotted entering Trump Tower in New York on Wednesday for a private meeting with the Republican presidential front-runner lit up the Internet like a celebrity sighting. And, in a way, that’s what it was. “Journalist meets with person she covers” wouldn’t normally be much of a headline. But, of course, this was not your normal sit-down.

It appeared that Kelly wanted to keep the visit quiet. But once word got out, Fox News used it to hype Wednesday’s episode of “The Kelly File.”

It turned out that Kelly didn’t have much to reveal. She confirmed

that she had requested the meeting and that the hour-long session included discussion of a future interview.

“I hope we will have news to announce on Megyn that soon,” Kelly told Kelly viewers.

If Trump ultimately agrees, the interview will be the most anticipated – and likely the most watched – of the campaign. It will be a huge win for Kelly.

But even if Trump declines, the level of interest that the mere prospect of an interview has generated demonstrates that Kelly now commands the spotlight like few others in the news business.

She was hardly anonymous before her now-infamous clash with the billionaire real estate mogul at a debate last August. Kelly had been featured in GQ, appeared on the cover of Variety, and already claimed some of the best ratings in cable news. But the bar-

rage of insults that followed a tough question about Trump’s temperament created the conditions for Kelly to show poise and professionalism when all eyes were on her.

It’s actually quite common for journalists to burnish their reputations in adverse situations. For example, Pulitzer Prize winners often earn their awards by being thrust into disastrous circumstances (wars, bombings, shootings) and rising to the occasion.

Kelly’s challenge in dealing with Trump’s vitriol isn’t life-and-death serious, of course, but the point is that good journalists frequently receive their greatest recognition when forced to handle something they would rather not.

Now, thanks to Trump, Kelly is not only the strong interviewer she was before but also a symbol of how to stand up to him without resorting to his crass tactics. She is, in other words, what Trump’s GOP opponents are not.

And she seems to realize that the status she has achieved in this election makes her very valuable. In a more recent interview with Variety, Kelly was noncommittal about her future at Fox News. With a contract that expires after the election, “I have to keep my options open,” she said.

“Never say never,” Kelly added. “I don’t know what’s going to happen.

I’ve had a great 12 years here, and I really like working for Roger Ailes.

I really like my show, and I love my team. But you know, there’s a lot of brain damage that comes from the job.”

You can bet that plenty of media companies would be happy to add Kelly - brain damage and all - after Election Day. And Trump, hard as he tries to do the opposite, is helping drive up Kelly’s stock.

Illinois has nearly 7,000 units of local government. That’s the highest count of any state in the nation, and the runner-up is not even close.

One of those units of government is the Naperville Township Road District, where seven employees maintain less than 20 miles of road at a cost of $116,000 per mile. City officials have said they could maintain the same distance at half the cost, and have moved to take over the road district’s duties on behalf of local taxpayers.

But the final decision on whether to outsource maintenance of those roads to the city rests with Naperville Township Road Commissioner Stan Wojtasiak, who has put local taxpayers on the hook for thousands of dollars in meals and treats, including alcohol, over the course of his tenure, according to the Naperville Sun. Wojtasiak said he spent the money to boost staff morale, and has yet to announce his decision regarding consolidation.

The Naperville case is emblematic of a statewide problem in Illinois: Having thousands of local governments poses serious problems when it comes to oversight and efficiency.

The result of the status quo? Illinois property taxes are the third-highest in the nation, according to the Tax Foundation, which also predicts Illinois will soon overtake New

Obama backs effort for cable box options

By KEVIN FREKING

A cable box sits atop a TV in May 2007 in Philadelphia. President Barack Obama is throwing his weight behind an effort to give consumers more choice when it comes to the cable boxes that control which TV channels they watch.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama threw his weight Friday behind an effort to give consumers more choice when it comes to the cable boxes that control which television channels they watch.

Most TV subscribers lease boxes from their cable service provider. The Federal Communications Commission is pursuing new regulations giving consumers more options to buy elsewhere.

Obama described it as a model for expanding competition in other areas, including President financial serBarack Obama vices.

“The potential here is for cheaper, more effective services that are provided,” Obama said in an interview with Yahoo. “Across the board, if we have more players that can potentially participate, fewer barriers to entry, the rules aren’t rigged, then you get more people trying to get your business and you get better products at cheaper prices.”

Jason Furman, who advises the president on economic policy, said the

‘‘

The potential here is for cheaper, more effective services that are provided.”

administration sparingly weighs in on FCC rulemaking. When the president gets involved, Furman said, the issue is of “real great importance in his mind to consumers, to competition and to the economy more broadly.”

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has said that U.S. consumers typically pay $231 a year to rent their cable boxes.

According to one analysis, their costs have nearly tripled since 1994, while the cost of computers, televisions and

mobile phones has fallen sharply.

“Like the 1980s with telephones, that’s a symptom of a market that is cordoned off from competition. And that’s got to change,” Furman and fellow economic adviser Jeff Zients wrote.

An industry group made up of cable companies has said the FCC’s proposal could lead to higher prices, “eliminates security protections, and provides no reassurance on privacy rights.” The

group also noted that many consumers already are watching cable using different kinds of apps and devices.

Obama also signed an executive order calling on federal agencies to explore areas in which they could promote more competition.

The agencies will be required to report back with their findings in 60 days. The White House called the cable box issue a “mascot” for the broader initiative.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 2016

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country singer Zac Brown said in a statement that he was “in the wrong place at the wrong time” last week in a Palm Beach hotel room where four people were arrested for drug possession.

A report from Palm Beach Police Department showed that Brown, lead singer of the Grammy-winning Zac Brown Band, was present when police arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel on April 8. He was not charged or arrested. The incident was first reported by TMZ.com.

Brown said in a statement on Friday that he did not know the people arrested and cooperated fully with police. He said he is not part of any ongoing police investigation.

Members of Cheap Trick – Daxx Nielsen (from left), Robin Zander, Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson – pose for a portrait April 5 in New York to promote their new album, “Bang, Zoom, Crazy ... Hello.”

New hall of famers Cheap Trick return to classic sound NEW YORK – Of the acts inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this month, only Cheap Trick is hawking new product, seeking relevance in a contemporary music world light years from their late 1970s peak.

Having Scott Borchetta in their corner gives them a fighting chance.

Borchetta’s Nashville-based Big Machine label, home to Taylor Swift, is one of music’s biggest success stories and is diversifying beyond country music. He’s also a Cheap Trick fan who helped the band focus on what it does best for the new disc, “Bang, Zoom, Crazy ... Hello.”

The quartet from Rockford, known for “Surrender,” “Dream Police” and “I Want You to Want Me,” now emphasizes the power in its power pop sound.

“Anybody who was a fan of their first three records and hears this album, they’re going to love it,” Borchetta said. “I guarantee it. It’s the perfect bookend to where they started.”

Borchetta knew the band’s bass player, Tom Petersson, who lives in Nashville.

Petersson, guitarist Rick Nielsen and singer Robin Zander met with Borchetta four years ago and had him look at their business. What he found was a mess – an act mired in legal problems with little direction or sense of what to do. Cheap Trick has never been complicated. A bug-eyed, baseball cap-wearing Nielsen stalks the stage with a guitar from his vast collection, tossing handfuls of picks into the audience. Zander is a classic rock howler, retaining his melodic sense despite amplifiers turned to 11. Former drummer Bun E. Carlos looked like your dad in a rumpled suit, perpetually puffing on a cigarette.

“We’ve always been keyed on songs and performing live,” Nielsen said. “We never tried to make an album of 25-minute songs. The concept is not much different from what it was earlier.”

CHICAGO – The wife of “Star Wars” creator George Lucas said a new potential lakefront site could help ensure a museum of Lucas’ art is built in Chicago.

Mellody Hobson said Friday that the McCormick Place East convention center site would provide “an excellent location” for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. A proposed plan would demolish a building and replace it with the 300,000-square-foot museum.

Hobson told the Chicago Tribune the plan would create 12 additional acres of parkland.

She’s hopeful that could avert a lengthy legal fight that could have led Lucas to locate the museum elsewhere.

A parks advocacy group sued over a plan to build the museum near Soldier Field, saying it violated laws restricting development along Lake Michigan.

The group said it’s reviewing the new proposal.

Cirque du Soleil will snub N.C. after new state law

NEW YORK – The Canadian-based circus company Cirque du Soleil is canceling upcoming stops in North Carolina by two of its touring shows to protest a state law that limits anti-discrimination protections for the LGBT community.

The company said Friday that it will scrap plans for “Ovo” to play Greensboro from April 20 to 24 and Charlotte from July 6 to 10, and “Toruk – The First Flight,” which was scheduled to play Raleigh from June 22 to 26.

The company said in a statement that it “strongly believes in diversity and equality for every individual and is opposed to

discrimination in any form.”

LOS ANGELES – Oops. The idea lasted about as long as a Snapchat text: the head of AMC Theatres mulled openly about creating texting-friendly movie theaters to appeal to smartphone-addicted youngsters.

Two days later, after a backlash on social media, the company said it’s leaving the idea on “the cutting room floor.” Adam Aron, who became CEO of AMC Entertainment Holdings in December, told Variety magazine for a story Wednesday that the company would consider allowing cellphone use in some theaters to appeal to millennials.

“When you tell a 22-year-old to ‘Turn off the phone, don’t ruin the movie,’ they hear ‘Please cut off your left arm above the elbow.’

You can’t tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cellphone. That’s not how they live their life,” he said.

That’s when the Twitter-verse unleashed a torrent of criticism on the plan. “AMC Theaters want to allow texting in movie theaters. In other news, I’ll never go to AMC Theaters ever again,” tweeted Fox News reporter Jake Hamilton. Blogger Perez Hilton tweeted the plan made sense “because everything is the worst.”

Lucasfilm story executive Pablo Hidalgo mulled a day when he “brings enormous durian fruit to AMC theater; live-tweets and periscopes self eating it while movie plays.”

Gone green Spring ushers in fresh palette

By KIM COOK

The Associated Press When we start thinking “spring,” one color comes to mind.

Tender pea shoots, that soft fuzziness on budding trees, a new lawn – there’s a palette of greens that herald nature’s shift to the warm seasons.

And there are many fresh ways to bring green indoors with paint and furnishings.

“Green is Mother Nature’s favorite color. It’s so abundant in the world around us that we’re accustomed to seeing it as a background color,” said Lee Eiseman, head of the Eiseman Center for Color Information and Training near Seattle.

She also points out the “good-foryou” connotations of green – eating fruits and vegetables, juicing and so on – and the generally calming nature of the hue.

PPG Paints’ 2016 color of the year, Paradise Found, is a complex, leafy hue. Green is a trending color this spring as people respond to wellness trends and the need for calmness in a hectic world.

“We’re looking for that restful shade to bring the outside in, and provide balance in our lives,” she said.

Dee Schlotter, the spokesperson for PPG Brands, design and color marketers and makers of PPG Paints, said, “Green is restorative, rejuvenating and fresh. Being in nature brings an ease or a relaxation that’s almost immediate. Recreating that feeling in the home is very popular right now.”

The company has chosen Paradise Found as its 2016 color of the year. It’s a soothing gray-green with a hint of blue.

Greens like this play well with others. Combining gray-green with matte black modernizes a traditional space.

Paired with white, the color becomes more mineral and organic.

Farrow & Ball has a new, leafy, verdant hue with historic provenance to help commemorate the paint maker’s 70th anniversary.

“Yeabridge Green was originally found in an 18th century Georgian farmhouse in the [United Kingdom] county of Somerset,” creative director Charlie Cosby said. During renovation, an original gun cupboard was removed, revealing the paint color.

Rich and earthy, it’s a green in the family of avocado, olive and evergreen.

(www.crateandbarrel.com) If you’re trying green for the first time, Eiseman advised looking at the blue-greens. “They’re the most universally pleasant and least risky,” she said. “Particularly teals and deep turquoise.”

West Elm has a little midcentury-style desk and wooden counter stools in a gentle blue-green they’re calling “oregano.” (www.westelm. com) CB2 has a sleek, low-profile dresser done in high-gloss mint lacquer.

They also have a mint, powder-coated steel filing cabinet and an array of minty trays, vases and napery.

“Reach across the color wheel and choose the complementary colors,” Eiseman said. “It’s the rose tones, wines and warm purples that are very effective with shades of green.”

route around this mouse problem is to keep organic mulches away from the bases of plants. A ring of bare soil a few inches in diameter around the base of a tree or shrub is sufficient to cause Stuart Little to think twice about scurrying out, exposed to the searching eyes of hawks and other predators, for a bite to eat. A cylinder of hardware cloth there provides further insurance.

Potential Problem No. 2 with using an organic mulch is it can bring on rot if piled up against trunks and stems.

Again, bypass this problem by keeping the mulch a few inches away from trunks and stems.

The Associated Press

More benefits of mulch

Mulches can contribute directly to a tree or shrub’s nutrition and health.

The main benefit from the ring of mulch around each of these trees is to keep the lawnmower from thrashing at their bark.

AP photo

As any organic material (wood chips, straw or leaves) decomposes, it releases nutrients and also helps make plant foodstuffs already in the soil more accessible to roots. Rule out pebbles, marbles or black plastic for this.

As far as a tree or shrub is concerned, organic materials obviously are the best mulch.

And besides their benefits for plants and the soil, they usually are inexpensive or free.

Still, mulching even with an organic material can be one of the worst things

you do for your tree or shrubs.

Possible dark sides

Potential Problem No. 1 is mice simply love the cushiony, moist environment created by organic mulches.

Furthermore, mice like to gnaw on the bark of living trees and shrubs, so a thick mulch piled up against woody plant stems provides these furry creatures with both food and lodging.

Since plants transport minerals and sugars through the bark, mouse feeding can kill a tree or shrub. An obvious

Aesthetics

One last quality of mulches is their contribution to the appearance of a landscape or planting. Again, rule out black plastic for this purpose.

True, plastic can be covered with something such as wood chips, but coverings eventually slide off to expose the plastic.

Other mulches each have a place in helping to complete a picture: wood chips or leaves in a woodland setting, cocoa bean hulls in formal shrubbery, marbles in ... where?

Mulching can be one of the best things you do for your trees and shrubs.

It also can be one of the worst things you do for your trees and shrubs. First, let’s get our definitions in order.

“Mulch” is anything with which you blanket the ground, be it straw, black plastic, pebbles, even the marbles I once saw blanketing a portion of ground in a contemporary California landscape.

Any of these materials, when spread beneath a tree or shrub, will keep lawn and, hence, lawnmowers at bay. Mulches also help conserve water by slowing evaporation from the soil surface. But that’s about where the similarity among mulches ends.

Many mulches can enhance water use, for instance, by softening the impact of raindrops, so the soil surface stays loose, open and ready to absorb water. Rule out black plastic for this purpose, however. Another downside to black plastic is it can leave roots gasping for oxygen.

‘Detox’ diet not proven effective Dear Dr K: Friends are urging me to join them in a “detox” diet. Is there any value to it?

Dear Reader: At first, the idea seems appealing. Our bodies do produce plenty of chemicals that can become toxic to our tissues.

We also absorb some potentially toxic substances from the environment. Surely, in the post-industrial age we have added many chemicals into our environment – chemicals that none of our species, going back 40,000 years, had ever been exposed to. So a program that promises to rid our bodies of toxins has appeal.

Quite a number of my patients have tried various detox diets. One of the more popular ones is the “master cleanse.” For days, you consume only a concoction made of spring water, organic maple syrup, freshly squeezed organic lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Not all detox diets are that extreme, but many do require at least 24 hours of a strict liquid diet.

Proponents of detox programs claim the buildup of toxins in our bodies decreases immunity, leads to chronic disease, decreases energy and slows metabolism. That surely is true for the natural waste products that our bodies produce. But our bodies have plenty of their own natural detoxification systems. The liver, kidneys and lungs all function, in part, to get rid of certain toxins.

Do we need detox programs in addition to our natural detox systems? Indeed, do any of these programs work? I’m not aware of any evidence that detox diets actually remove toxins from our bodies, prevent chronic disease or improve overall health.

What’s more, detox diets can be expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects, such as decreased energy, lightheadedness, headaches and nausea.

Specific foods and food groups espe-

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff cially are good at supporting our natural detoxification system. At the top of the list are cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, watercress and Brussels sprouts. Other foods on the list include garlic, leeks and onions, turmeric and citrus peel.

If you’re in good health, a brief detox diet probably won’t hurt. But avoid one completely if you are nursing or pregnant, young, elderly or have a medical condition.

I support my body’s natural detoxification system by eating a well-balanced, plant-rich diet that includes plenty of detox-supporting foods. After all, why drink broccoli when you can just eat it?

Whenever I am skeptical about a non-traditional treatment such as putative detox programs, I worry some readers will conclude I’m just a traditional doctor who won’t entertain new ideas. But regular readers will know I’m open to non-traditional treatments that have been studied scientifically and found to be valuable – such as tai chi for fibromyalgia. I’ve even had kind words for non-traditional treatments that haven’t been studied fully but appear to have no adverse effects. Acupressure for the nausea caused by chemotherapy is one example.

I’m open-minded, yet skeptical, about any proposed treatment – mainstream or non-traditional – until it’s been shown to be of value in scientific studies.

grandson “Kyle” is in his early 20s, 6 foot 1 and weighs about 230.

His sister is a very sweet 15-year-old and a devoted churchgoer.

At a recent family get-together, they were goofing around and he got her down on the floor on her stomach, sat on her knees to hold her down and proceeded to reach his hand into her trousers to jerk her panties up and out of her pants. He then pulled her pants down almost to the bottom of her buttocks and spanked her.

The whole time, I was trying to get Kyle to stop acting so disrespectfully to his sister, but he ignored me. This happened in front of several people, including my husband, a male cousin in his 40s and the kids’ great-aunt. I was shocked and I’m still angry. Kyle’s aunt agrees with me and wonders whether molestation is involved.

Is this normal behavior between brothers and sisters? Are we old-fashioned? Are we overreacting? – Shocked In The South Dear Shocked: While I don’t think what happened was molestation, Kyle’s behavior was extremely inappropriate. I only can guess how humiliated that poor girl was. I can’t imagine why anyone would allow it to happen without putting a stop to it.

Kyle is an adult, even though he acts like a 13-year-old. What he did amounted to an assault of a minor, which at his age could land him in the pokey, and he needs to be “reminded” of that fact.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Joe,” has what I refer to as “pedestrian rage.” Neither of us drives, so we use mass transit or walk everywhere.

We live in a large city, and drivers not always are careful about pedestrians in parking lots, crosswalks, etc., making it doubly important to protect one’s own safety when on foot.

I feel Joe compromises our safety by being confrontational with motorists who fail his exacting standards. He curses loudly, strikes vehicles with his hand or stops and glares at drivers who anger him. I have asked him not to engage with these drivers for fear of retaliation.

The other day a man drove into the crosswalk when we were crossing on the green light. We weren’t close to that section of the crosswalk yet, but Joe smacked the man’s car as we crossed behind it. The man, who was very large and very angry, pulled over, jumped out and threatened to beat Joe up for touching his car. I pulled Joe down the sidewalk as he yelled at the driver.

I am at my wit’s end. I’m afraid to go anywhere with him because he just doesn’t get it.

I no longer feel safe with him. His behavior is ruining our relationship. Do you have any suggestions? – Crosswalk Rage Dear Crosswalk Rage: I sure do. Stop walking with him until he learns to control his temper because it could not only get himself hurt, but you as well. Banging on a traffic violator’s car and cursing at him only escalates an already unfortunate situation.

William Safire wrote, “Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.”

We are studying Jacoby Two No-trump in answer to a major-suit opening bid. The opener makes one of three rebids. Ideally, he jumps in a strong side five-card suit (one headed by at least two of the top three honors); next, he mentions a singleton or void at the three-level; last, but not least, he says how many high-card points he holds.

If he jumps to game in the major, it announces a minimum, 12-14 points. With some extras, a good 14 to a poor 17, he rebids three notrump. And with a maximum that cannot immediately employ Blackwood, he bids three of the agreed suit -- as in today’s deal. Then, after North control-bids four hearts (showing the heart ace and denying a minor-suit ace), South uses Blackwood to reach six spades.

South seems to have two unavoidable losers: one spade and one diamond. But he might get lucky in two ways. He wins with dummy’s club queen and calls for the spade jack.

Maybe East will cover from queen- or king-doubleton. He shouldn’t, but it cannot hurt to try.

Assuming East plays low under the spade jack, declarer wins with his ace, then cashes the heart, club and diamond winners. Finally, he exits with a trump. Here, West takes the trick and must lead a heart or a club, which South ruffs in the dummy while he sluffs the last diamond from his hand. It is called a partial elimination.

Really?

Katie Couric, Co-Founder EIF’s National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent. Get screened!

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, do everything you can to prevent colorectal cancer. Screening really does save lives!

DeChant helps lift Whips, but reinjures finger

By RYAN ALTMAN

sports@nwherald.com WOODSTOCK – Friday marked only the third game of the season for Hampshire senior Peyton DeChant.

DeChant, a Division I Loyola commit, is trying to find her offensive rhythm with a finger she reinjured during Friday’s game. Her two-run home run in the third inning might have done just the trick.

“It’s just like waking up on Christmas Day,” DeChant said. “You’ve waited so long for it all year, and you finally get it. You just gotta take advantage of it.”

An eight-hit, nine-run third inning, including DeChant’s home run, was all the Whip-Purs needed to finish off Woodstock in five innings, defeating the Blue Streaks, 13-0, in a Fox Valley Conference Fox Division game at Woodstock High School.

“They started off not doing so well, but they were asked to make some adjustments (at the plate),” Whip-Purs coach Kelly Wasilewski said. “They came up that third inning and figured it out and we’re hitting the ball.”

After five of their first six batters of the game were retired, the WhipPurs’ third inning was much different. On eight hits and a pair of walks, the visitors sent 12 batters to plate.

Pitcher Joslyn Nelson’s two-run homer started the beginning of what turned into a nine-run inning. Melissa Esparza, Ellie Lapi and Alyssa Snider also had RBI base hits during the frame.

“We’re all pretty decent hitters,” said DeChant, who also hit a double in the second. “It just takes that one spark to ignite it. When we have at least one good hit like Joslyn’s, it just set everyone off. It’s always nice to see when you’re struggling at hitting.”

The Whip-Purs (7-3, 2-0 FVC Fox) added three more runs in the fourth and one in the fifth on a trio of fielder’s choice plays.

“If you’re patient up there, you’re going to get the pitch that you want and drive it,” Wasilewski said. “I thought we had a couple nice hits with Joslyn, Peyton, with home runs there. They’re coming around.”

The Blue Streaks’ best chance came in the fourth with runners on second and third to with no outs, but Nelson recorded three consecutive

For the Blue Streaks (2-5, 0-2), Jocelyn Eisenmenger threw three innings, striking out three, while giving up eight hits and nine runs.

Eisenmenger, Julia Vosburgh, Emily Maxwell and Maddie Ferguson each collected one of the four Blue Streaks hits.

“I will compliment Hampshire with their ability today to really drive the ball,” Blue Streaks coach Steve Beard said. “… I tell these young ladies that they have to grow up fast. Each day, you have to get older, more experienced. Our team, each day, each pitch, each inning needs to get better.”

Graduation day quickly is approaching for Chris Streveler.

Around campus, his classmates at the University of Minnesota are scrambling to find jobs in business or sales or medicine. Meanwhile, the 6-foot-2, 223-pounder who will be a redshirt junior eligibility-wise in the fall is in search of a different kind of full-time gig.

After more than three years and four different positions, Streveler has asked for and been granted his release from the Golden Gophers football team. He came in as an all-state quarterback who led Marian Central to back-to-back state quarterfinals, but struggled to find playing time at Minnesota.

He switched to tight end and running back and receiver and special teams. Anything to get on the field.

“We tried everything,” Streveler said. “I played, like, four different positions while I was there. It just didn’t end up working out.”

That’s in the past now, however.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

The first batter of the game for Jacobs, Alexis Addante, was ruled safe at first by the infield umpire after a grounder to the shortstop. Trojans coach Tammy Olson challenged the call and the play was overturned. No video replay was available, but it was much faster than MLB’s review system.

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Jacobs softball coach Katie O’Brien had not seen a complete team effort from her Golden Eagles since their season started officially March 11.

To be fair, about one-third of Jacobs’ season had been washed away by rain and cold weather as the Golden Eagles started 0-2.

“We don’t want to use that as an excuse. I know that a lot of people have offered it to me,” O’Brien said.

On Friday, the Golden Eagles racked up 17 hits and received a complete-game effort from junior pitcher Brittany Feldmann, leading Jacobs to a 9-1 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division victory over Cary-Grove.

Emily Borg went 4 for 4 with a double and three RBIs, Alexis Addante

went 3 for 4 with a run, Sarah Murray went 2 for 3 with a double and two runs, Kerri Healy went 2 for 4 with a double, two runs and one RBI, and Teaghan Richman went 2 for 4 with a run and drove in one.

“The top of the lineup got things going for us, and the bottom just followed,” O’Brien said. “That wasn’t something that we’ve seen this year, so that was exciting ... We had all girls in the game today, and everybody had a role.”

The first five batters for Jacobs each had a multihit game, while Feldmann – who mixed in a curve to keep the Trojans off-balance – came one out away from a shutout. She allowed one unearned run on four hits with one walk and six strikeouts.

Jacobs (2-2 overall, 2-0 FVC Valley) opened conference play Wednesday with a 4-2 win over Crystal Lake

“I think we have a really strong middle, and once the middle gets going it’s really easy to catch that momentum all the way through,” said Borg, who had an RBI double in the third and a two-run single in the fourth.

The Trojans (4-6, 0-2 FVC Valley) committed four errors. Two errors led to one unearned run in the first, and two errors in the sixth led to two more.

Jess Mrzlak and Abby Piemonte each drove in a run in the sixth for Jacobs, while Nicollette Richardi drove in the Trojans’ only run in the seventh after Colleen Kaveney reached on an error.

“We have to come in,and cut down the errors,” C-G coach Tammy Olson said. “They want people to watch them, and be excited about the game, then they have to cut the errors out, because we had way too many. ... Right now, our goal is to work together.”

TAKE

JOE STEVENSON AND MIKE DeFABO

FACE OFF

DeFabo: This week, Jacobs pitcher Casey Dennison threw 125 pitches in a complete game against Cary-Grove. You were at that game, Joe. I respect Jacobs baseball coach Jamie Murray a lot. He’s done a lot to make Jacobs one of the best programs in the area, largely because of the way he’s developed pitchers. But I think this case is an example of why the IHSA needs to implement a pitch count for high school games. If you watch a major league game, almost every pitcher is pulled at or before 100 pitches. If professional ballplayers don’t go past the century mark, I think it’s too risky to stretch out a high school pitcher who still is developing.

Stevenson: The pitch count is a hot issue at all levels of baseball. At youth levels, there are tournament limits by innings, not pitches, just because it’s easier to count innings. It’s something about which coaches are cognizant, but a rule regarding pitch counts is not necessary. I realize 125 seems like a lot, and the competitor within young pitchers will naturally not want to come out, but coaches have to be trusted. My guess is Murray might not stretch Dennison out as long in upccoming starts.

DeFabo: Competitors don’t want to come out.

You’re right about that. That’s exactly the reason you need a pitch count: to protect players from themselves. In the heat of a game, players (and sometimes coaches) don’t look at the bigger picture. Some certainly do. McHenry coach Brian Rockweiler pulled Bobby Miller after about 80 pitches when he had a no-hitter going. That move

• Saturday, April 16, 2016

Since Frank Jobe performed the first ulnar collateral ligament surgery on Tommy John in 1974, the procedure has become commonplace across all levels of baseball. About two-thirds of Major League Baseball pitchers have had the surgery.

Now pitchers who are younger and younger are faced with significant arm injuries, and players younger than 20 years old have become the fastest-growing group of patients. Sports writers Joe Stevenson and Mike DeFabo discuss whether further measures need to be taken to protect high school pitchers in Illinois.

Jacobs’ Casey Dennison pitches Tuesday against Prairie Ridge at Jacobs High School in Algonquin. Dennison threw 125 pitches in Jacobs’ 7-4 victory. was right, especially early in the season. And his decision was made a little bit easier because Miller was on a pitch count early on. But late in the season, when a team’s season is on the line, coaches and players might be a little too tempted to keep a kid in longer than he should be.

Stevenson: They definitely are tempted to do it later in the season with a regional, sectional or trip to state on the line. If you have a horse, you feel like you have to ride him. The pitch count on a particular day is one issue. There also could be bringing a player back for a couple of innings in a Saturday sectional championship game after throwing seven on Wednesday. It’s a tough call because you want to win state, but you don’t want to injure a player’s arm. You have to trust that the coaches know their players’ limits and don’t push them all the time.

DeFabo: But in a playoff situation, you can’t

always trust coaches. I say the IHSA should gather doctors and pitching experts. Establish a criteria.

If you pitch 100 pitches, you have to rest a certain amount of time. If you pitch 75 pitches, you have to rest so many days. And they set a hard cap, as well.

For responsible coaches, this won’t be a major change and it will act as a safeguard just in case coaches are tempted to throw their ace too often.

Stevenson: That would require a lot of self-policing. I understand the need for monitoring pitch counts, I just don’t think there needs to be a rule.

Our area coaches seem pretty adept at protecting their guys. I don’t see a problem in stretching a guy out once in a while.

6 PREP ROUNDUP

SPORTS BRIEF Irish suspend DL Blankenship, await WR Robinson’s decision

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame receiver Corey Robinson is deciding whether he will continue to play football as he deals with lingering effects from a concussion, and defensive lineman Grant Blankenship is waiting to hear whether he has a future with the team after being suspended for violating unspecified team rules.

Robinson, the son of NBA Hall of Famer David Robinson, met this week with Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, a sports neurologist who specializes in concussion management and treatment, to talk about his multiple concussions, coach Brian Kelly said Friday.

“I think it was an extremely educational meeting for him. I’m very hesitant to go into the details, because I think that’s a private matter for Corey.

But I know this, he came back feeling really good about the meeting,” Kelly said.

Kelly said he expects a decision from Robinson in the next several weeks.

Robinson was at practice Friday but was not in uniform as the team prepared for its spring game Saturday.

Marian Central’s Adam Pischke (top) and Marengo’s Zach Knobloch (above) will play in the McHenry County Area All-Star Basketball Extravaganza on Sunday at Alden-Hebron. it. It was fun the last two years going back and forth with him as (area) scoring leaders, seeing him do well.”

Knobloch (6-0) led the area in scoring as a junior, the season in which he made a state-record 167 3s.

“We would message each other and say, ‘Good luck,’ before games,” Knobloch said. “We’re pretty close. We’re good friends.”

The rematch between Marengo and Marian never materialized after 2014.

In 2015, Woodstock knocked out Marian in the Class 3A Marengo Regional, which Knobloch’s Indians won. This season, with a new IHSA seeding format, they were sent to separate regionals.

Boster, a former Class 3A IHSA 3-Point Shootout state champion, worked at Life Time Fitness in Algonquin in sales and started his career in player development. He signed with Pure Sweat Basketball four months ago and is doing an internship in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, helping Pure Sweat CEO Drew Hanlen prepare prospects for the upcoming NBA Draft.

“First and foremost, player development coaches play a very behindthe-scenes type of role,” Boster said.

“Those two guys are workers, I’m so proud of those two. They have a desire to improve, they love the gym. They’re coachable. They’re consummate gym rats, they’ve enjoyed so much success on the court, I’m thankful to have helped them out a little bit along the way.”

Pischke said Boster hit 40 consecutive 3s in a workout this winter, while Knobloch enjoys shooting competitions he’s had with Boster.

“He can shoot it, but the only shooting competition he’s beat me in is H-OR-S-E,” Knobloch said. “Not many people have (beat me). We both get mad because we’re both competitive.”

Career leaders: Knobloch finished his career with 1,815 points, which are the most at Marengo and fourth among all schools in the Northwest Herald area.

Pischke’s 1,775 points rank first at Marian and seventh in the area.

The girls All-Star game will have three career school scoring leaders: Huntley’s Ali Andrews (2,548), Crystal Lake South’s Chanel Fanter (1,650) and Woodstock North’s Haley Ahr (1,032).

Hampshire’s Emma Benoit (1,540) is second on her school’s career list.

• Saturday, April 16, 2016

Anyone who has seen what Adam Pischke and Zach Knobloch can do with a basketball could imagine the competitiveness in workouts two years ago.

Pischke was a sophomore at Marian Central and Knobloch a sophomore at Marengo when they worked out with 2009 Huntley graduate Zac Boster, himself one of the best long-range shooters to play in McHenry County.

Pischke and Knobloch both loved to get after it, and both hated to lose.

“We would push each other, and it’s nice seeing all this hard work pay off for both of us,” Knobloch said. “I wish the best for all the other players, and he put up numbers, and I put up numbers too. It was great.”

The two faced each other only once in high school, in the 2014 Class 3A Woodstock Regional championship, which Marian won, 72-53, behind Pischke’s brilliant shooting performance. Pischke, the 2016 Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Player of the Year, and Knobloch, the 2015 winner of that honor, will meet again Sunday in the McHenry County Area All-Star Basketball Extravaganza in Hebron.

The girls game will start at 2 p.m. at Alden-Hebron’s Tigard Gymnasium, with the boys game set for a 5 p.m. tipoff. There will be 3-point contests for the girls and boys, with an overall champion between the two winners crowned. There also will be a dunk contest for the boys.

Pischke, who will play for McHenry coach Tim Paddock’s Away team, averaged 24.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and four assists for the Hurricanes and will play at NCAA Division II Lewis University in Romeoville. Knobloch, who scored 22 points a game and finished his career with 380 3-pointers (third on the state all-time list) will play for Crystal Lake South coach Matt LePage on the Home team. Knobloch recently announced he will attend D-III Wisconsin-Whitewater and play basketball.

Pischke (5-foot-10) was a three-time Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection; Knobloch made it twice. The two worked out before last season with Boster a couple of times, have remained in contact and closely watched each other’s accomplishments.

“It’s crazy how many 3s the kid hit in his career,” Pischke said of Knobloch.

“His quick release and everything, he’s tough to guard because you can be right up on him and he’ll still pull up and hit

10 WESTERN CONFERENCE FIRST ROUND: BLACKHAWKS 3, BLUES 2 (SERIES TIED, 1-1)

UP TO THE CHALLENGE

Overturned goal pivotal in Game 2 win

By R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS – A coach’s challenge in the nick of time resulted in third-period momentum for the Blackhawks.

The defending Stanley Cup champions made sure it stayed that way.

Andrew Shaw stuffed home a rebound on a power play with 4:19 remaining, minutes after Joel Quenneville prevailed on a call that resulted in an offside call that negated a goal, and the Hawks pulled even with the St. Louis Blues in their first-round series with a 3-2 victory Friday night.

“Right away, somebody said on the bench, ‘It’s offsides,’ ” Quenneville said.

“We got it late, and I was screaming like a crazy man.”

Blues coach Ken Hitchcock insinuated the call, after a lengthy review, went the Hawks’ way for a reason.

“When you play the defending Cup champions, you’re going to have to fight through a lot of stuff,” Hitchcock said. “Calls aren’t going to go your way, you’re not going to get the officiating you want. It’s always going to seem like it’s one-sided. Big deal, fight through it.”

Corey Crawford had a strong game in net, and Duncan Keith also scored for the Hawks in his first game back from a six-game suspension for a dangerous high stick to Minnesota’s Charlie Coyle. Keith assisted on rookie Artemi Panarin’s clinching empty-net goal with 1:34 to go, and Patrick Kane had two assists.

The Blackhawks’ Andrew Shaw (right) is congratulated by teammate Patrick Kane after scoring the go-ahead goal in the third period in Game 2 of a first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Blues on Friday in St. Louis. The Hawks won, 3-2.

“It was just kind of nice to shake a little rust off there and get my legs back underneath me,” said Keith, who led all skaters in ice time with 30 minutes and 59 seconds. “It’s different when you’re skating and practicing and training and working out to jumping into a game, especially when it’s fast-paced like that.”

The Hawks did what it took to send a sellout crowd home sour with the series shifting to the United Center for Game 3

Sunday.

“If we’re going to get the bounce, we’ll wait as long as we have to, I guess,” Hawks captain Jonathan Toews said.

“There’s no doubt that to a certain degree it takes a little bit away from the energy in the building.”

Vladimir Tarasenko started the scoring for St. Louis and nearly had the goahead goal at 12:14 of the third. After a lengthy replay, it was determined Jori

Lehtera had been offside by inches.

“It’s a great call by Matt Meacham, our video coach,” Keith said. “Obviously they felt down. We had to step on the throttle, and we did.”

Blues captain David Backes thought the losers’ game improved from the opener and wasn’t happy to have the game decided by officiating.

“I’ve seen that offsides a million times and ... we’ll bite our tongues on it,” Backes said. “It’s a play where it’s a critical time in a game and you hope that they’re 100 percent sure with what they saw, they saw.”

Tarasenko was in the penalty box with 8 seconds left to serve in a slashing penalty when Shaw, who had 14 goals in the regular season, scored on the rebound of a shot by Brent Seabrook.

The Blues lost a challenge, and their timeout, unsuccessfully arguing that goalie Brian Elliott had been pushed into the net.

“We’ve got to put ourselves in a position where those calls don’t make or break the game,” Elliott said, adding, “I don’t know what the rules are anymore.”

Kevin Shattenkirk scored for St. Louis with 2 seconds to go, making it a onegoal decision.

Keith gave the Hawks their first goal of the series, tying it at 1 with 5 seconds left in the second period.

Both teams had several good scoring chances in a wide-open second period, including a shot off the crossbar

by Panarin and a breakaway by Kane that fizzled when defenseman Jay Bouwmeester got a piece of his stick late, before both teams cashed in.

Tarasenko, who led the Blues with a career-best 40 goals, got his first of the playoffs on a one-timer at 15:20 set up when Lehtera stole the puck from Michal Rozsival on the forecheck.

Jonathan Toews won the faceoff and Kane got the puck to Keith on the tying goal, a shot through traffic from the point with 4.4 seconds left in the second.

Panik, Weise wait their turns to contribute

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com ST. LOUIS – It’s not Richard Panik or Dale Weise time yet.

Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville has plenty of options on the back end of his forward rotation – Panik played well and arguably earned a spot in the final weeks of the regular season. Weise has a history of scoring big goals in the

playoffs with the Canadiens and of being an agitant, which often comes in handy in the playoffs.

But Brandon Mashinter, whose size is a factor in playing with Teuvo Teravainen on the third line, played with Teravainen and Tomas Fleischmann again in Game 2 of the Hawks’ firstround series against the Blues on Friday night at Scottrade Center.

Quenneville expects Weise and Pan-

ik to play eventually. The difficult part is figuring out when. Last year, Antoine Vermette and Andrew Desjardins were inserted into the lineup in Game 3 of the first round against the Predators after being a healthy scratch. Vermette finished with four goals – including three game-winning goals – seven points and a plus-five rating. Desjardins solidified the fourth line that played a key role in the Western Conference final and Stan-

ley Cup final.

“It’s tricky sometimes decision making,” Quenneville said. “Sometimes it’s performance based on your team or individually – and it can fluctuate over the course of a series. Sometimes we don’t wait too long. Sometimes we give guys more of a benefit. We don’t mind the way we went in the first game.

[But] we expect them all to play in this series.”

ROCKIES 6, CUBS 1

Clunker ends Cubs’ winning streak at 5 games

By JEFF ARNOLD For The Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Count Joe Maddon among the biggest believers in the power that 24 hours can wield.

Regardless of the smallness of the sample size that can be taken from an otherwise successful start, Friday’s 6-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies immediately became one for the Maddon time machine.

The Cubs committed four errors and had only four hits on a day starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks deemed “weird” and that Maddon called uncharacteristic for a team that saw its five-game winning streak snapped.

Each of the four errors occurred in the infield and all led to runs. Kris Bryant had two blunders, Hendricks contributed one on an infield hit he said he didn’t even touch before the normally sure-handed Addison Russell misfired on a throw from shortstop.

If one thing was for sure, Friday’s comedy of errors took no names.

“We had a bad day, man,” Maddon said.

But in Maddon’s style of time and game management, one mistake-prone performance can be flushed as long as it doesn’t come with a hangover the next day. Maddon spoke afterward in confident tones, assured the Cubs would throw Friday’s clunker in the can and would return to their normal level of execution both offensively and defensively.

But immediately after Friday’s follies, there was plenty to dislike.

Bryant’s errant throw in the seventh inning on a bunt single by Rockies’ pinch hitter Brandon Barnes gave Colorado a 4-0 lead an inning after the Rockies scored their only earned runs of the day off Hendricks, who was solid otherwise, hitting the strike zone on 67 of the 83 pitches he threw.

A Russell error in the eighth finished off the Cubs’ parade of fielding blunders.

Russell, who had earlier shown flashes of being the young defensive wizard the Cubs have come to depend on, appeared unfazed afterward, confident the Cubs short-comings would be short-lived.

“We’ve been playing some great baseball and we’ll still continue to do that,”

Russell said. “Today, we just didn’t adjust to them playing small ball and we had a few errors. If we cut down on that, we’ll start winning.”

The Cubs didn’t score until the seventh inning, managing only three hits off Rockies starter Chad Bettis, who only surrendered singles to Bryant, Russell and Rizzo and struck out four over six innings.

Pinch hitter Tommy La Stella broke the Cubs’ scoreless drought on a fielder’s choice that scored Jorge Soler, who reached on a single.

The Cubs, who entered Friday with a league-leading 64 runs, threatened in the fifth inning and put runners at first and third with only one out, but failed to score.

The lack of offense, combined with the terrible day in the field, paved the way to only the Cubs second loss of the season. But as forgettable as the showing was, Maddon is counting that it will be just that – forgettable.

At times, Hendricks said he felt like he was playing with a hole in his glove – an ailment that temporarily seemed to impact the arms of Bryant and Russell.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Chris Sale pitched a monster of a game.

Jimmy Rollins did one of those headsup little things that make a difference.

And Melky Cabrera prevented neither of their contributions from going for naught by driving in the only run of the game with a two-out single in the ninth inning, lifting the surging White Sox to a 1-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday at Tropicana Field.

The Sox (8-2) extended their winning streak to five and matched their best 10game start since 1982. At 7-1, they are enjoying their best start on the road since the 1973 team was 7-1.

“They made some great defensive plays behind me, and it was just headsup base running right there [by Rollins],” Sale said. “They were scrapping.

They were doing everything they could to get a run. I noticed that and I appreciated it as well.”

Rollins led off the ninth against Rays reliever Alex Colome with a single and alertly tagged up on Todd Frazier’s oneout fly ball to right fielder Corey Dickerson, putting Rollins in scoring position

12 NBA PLAYOFFS: CAVALIERS VS. PISTONS

NBA

James locked in playoff-mode Ad space available on jerseys

By TOM WITHERS

The Associated Press

CLEVELAND – LeBron James has been in the shadows, somewhat overlooked.

For months, the Cavaliers’ megastar has been slightly under the radar, if that’s even possible for one of the world’s most recognizable athletes.

While Stephen Curry rained 3-pointers as the new face of the NBA, the Golden State Warriors hunted history and Kobe Bryant took his final bows, James remained in the background – waiting.

Well, it’s time. Playoff time. His time. James appears more than ready.

“I’m in that mode right now,” he said. “I’m where I want to be.”

His body feeling as healthy as it has been in several seasons, James, who finished the regular season with a focused flourish, is about to take aim at getting the Cavaliers back to the NBA Finals for another chance at slaying the three-sport dragon that is Cleveland’s 52-year pro championship drought.

After a drama-filled 82-game schedule during which the Cavs abruptly fired coach David Blatt despite a 30-11 record, James teased fans about his future and toyed with teammates via social media. Cleveland’s talented roster too often seemed disinterested, but the Cavs are expected to win the Eastern Conference.

James won’t settle for less. He can’t settle for less.

There’s only one suitable outcome for James, seeking his sixth straight Finals and third title. He has to win it all.

And when the Cavs open the playoffs Sunday against the Detroit Pistons, James is in an unfamiliar role: underdog. He’s not supposed to win it this year, which could even make him more dangerous.

More than anyone, he understands his window of opportunity to win another title is closing. James is on the down slope of his career and knows Father Time is the only one who doesn’t get posterized at the rim. The 31-yearold James, too, sees a juggernaut growing in Golden State and would like nothing more than to slow it down.

If his play in the past few weeks is any indication, and as long as he gets some help from Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and others, James could add a fourth crown to his résumé.

After declaring he had shifted into “playoff mode” earlier than usual, James averaged 28.4 points on 63 percent shooting – 52 percent on 3-ponters – with eight assists and 8.5 rebounds

Cavaliers superstar LeBron James (right) drives past Hawks defender Kent Bazemore on April 11 in Cleveland. James is about to take aim at getting the Cavaliers back to the NBA Finals for another chance at slaying the three-sport dragon that is Cleveland’s 52-year pro championship drought. in his past 10 games. Because those numbers are attached to James, they lose some meaning as he has established a personal standard unlike almost any player in league history.

“I hope he can keep it up,” coach Tyronn Lue said. “If he plays like this, man, we’re going to be tough to beat.”

Perhaps most stunning about the way he closed out is that it came in the aftermath of a strange chapter in a most unusual season.

On March 19, James and the Cavs were drubbed by Miami, a team capable of re-routing Cleveland’s presumed path to the Finals. As his teammates warmed up during halftime that night, James spent several minutes chatting with former teammate and dear friend Dwyane Wade.

It wasn’t a good look for James, who later created more commotion by unfollowing the Cavs’ Twitter account and being quoted that he wanted to someday play again with Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul. His behavior, and the fact that he has continued to sign one-year contracts with Cleveland, led to speculation he was planning an escape.

Something was going on, and both Lue and general manager David Griffin met with James to sort it out.

Since then, he’s been on a tear, playing with a vengeance that has softened some critics and made others

think the Cavs might actually have a chance against the Warriors or whichever team survives the steel-cage match that figures to be the Western Conference playoffs.

“I’m just in a good rhythm,” James explained after scoring 34 points in three quarters against Atlanta, his final regular-season game.

Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy has faced James in the playoffs before and must formulate a way to stop him.

Good luck.

“When you’re preparing, you have Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, Plan D,” Van Gundy said. “What you’re really doing is throwing stuff at the wall and hoping something sticks. You can’t just go in and have a blanket strategy how you want to play LeBron James.

If somebody had the book on how to stop him, then this guy wouldn’t be doing what he’s done for 13 years in this league.”

With his 179th career playoff game approaching, James, who averaged 30.3 points, 11 rebounds and 9.3 assists in last year’s playoffs, is as energized as he was before his first. Since hugging Curry and walking off the floor with his head held high after a Game 6 loss in last year’s Finals, James has been eyeing his shot at redemption.

This is when James shines like no other.

“I get that feel,” he said.

NEW YORK – The NBA will begin putting sponsorship logos on player uniforms in 2017-18, a move that could generate at least $100 million annually and a step that the NFL, Major League Baseball and NHL have yet to take.

The three-year trial was approved Friday by NBA owners and will take effect when the league’s contract with Nike begins. The patches will appear on the front left of the jersey, opposite Nike’s logo, and measure about 21/2 by 21/2 inches.

Logos appear on international and MLS soccer jerseys, and many athletes in individual sports wear their sponsors’ attire in competition.

Commissioner Adam Silver had said going with logos was in- Adam Silver evitable because of the potential to add revenue. WNBA and NBA Development League teams already have logos, and NBA clubs were wearing them on practice jerseys.

Silver called the plan an “experiment” and said it was hard to estimate how much revenue it would generate because teams would be responsible for their own sales, and some could decide not to participate. But he said it could be $100 million annually.

“I think the greatest impact will be on sort of this amplifying effect of a company choosing to associate directly with a team’s jersey, then going out and promoting that relationship in the larger market,” Silver said. “I think that will lead to greater engagement of our fans with these teams.”

Owners also discussed a North Carolina law that limits anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people. Silver called it “problematic” for the league, but there was no decision on moving next year’s All-Star Game out of Charlotte.

“The league believes that these groups need to be protected, but again, I think the right way to work to the proper resolution here is for the league to remain engaged in the conversation, rather than setting ultimatums or announcing we’re not going to play our All-Star Game in Charlotte,” Silver said.

NBA PLAYOFFS: WARRIORS VS. ROCKETS

By JOSH DUBOW

Warriors guard Stephen Curry smiles a the end of a 125-104 win over the Grizzlies on Wednesday night in Oakland, Calif. in NBA history.

Anything short of that will make the regular-season record somewhat meaningless, adding another level of pressure for the postseason run.

“That just goes with the territory,” coach Steve Kerr said. “We’re defending champs. When you’re the favorite, it’s a little different dynamic. Last

year, even though we won 67 games and were the one seed, people still wondered if we could get it done. It’s a different feel, a different dynamic. We still have to win 16 games.”

The chase for the record has provided the Warriors with an opportunity to deal with a playoff-style environment the past few weeks. There’s

NBA playoffs: Ten things to watch

T

he NBA playoffs start this weekend, and there’s no shortage of storylines worth following. Here’s a list of 10 to get you started:

enjoy having such a year somehow stay off the radar, it’s the Spurs. San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich managed his players’ minutes to perfection again, with no one averaging more than 33 per night. Anything less than a War1. THE WARRIORS We begin with the reigning champions, riors-Spurs Western Conference finals would seem disappointing. the favorites to capture back-to-back titles.

If there’s a franchise that would the playoffs, playing huge minutes. And

consider this one: Among players in this postseason, no one has more assists in their playoff career than James.

5. HORNETS-HEAT

This is a logical pick to be the most intriguing first-round series, for plenty of reasons. For starters, both teams finished with 48-34 records and come from the same division, though Miami’s 48-34 worked out to a No. 3 seed and Charlotte’s 48-34 got the Hornets the No. 6 seed. But since the All-Star break, these have been two of the five hottest teams in the NBA. Charlotte was 21-8 since the break, third-best in the league behind Golden State (25-5) and San Antonio (22-7). The Heat are 19-10 in that span, behind only the Warriors, Spurs, Hornets and Toronto (21-9).

6. THE DURANT WATCH

This season has been one long countdown to Kevin Durant Watch 2016, otherwise known as what the Oklahoma City star will do this summer when free agency arrives. Durant has gotten the questions plenty of times this season, and when – or if, more accurately – the Thunder fall

behind in a postseason series it’s a safe bet speculation will ramp up quickly about how what’s going on in these playoffs will influence the decision he makes in July. This will be especially true if the Thunder, the No. 3 seed out West, get into early trouble.

7. RAPTORS’ DROUGHT

This has been the best regular season in Toronto history, a 56-26 mark that got the Raptors the No. 2 seed in the East. But this season’s real goal for the Raptors has been finally getting some playoff success. Toronto was swept out of the first round last year, has lost its last five opening-round series and has reached the East semifinals once – in 2001. It’s not exactly an easy draw for Toronto, which gets Indiana in the first round. The Pacers have won their last three opening-round series.

8. CLOSE GAMES

Makes sense, given that the best teams tend to make for better matchups. Last year, 59 percent of the playoff games were decided by no more than 10 points. Having said that, there were only two Game 7s last year, and the Los Angeles Clippers were in both – they beat San Antonio in the first round, and lost to Houston in the second round.

9. ROOKIE STRUGGLES

It’s hard enough for rookies to get through the rigors of an 82-game regular season as it is, which might explain why it hasn’t exactly been common of late for a first-year guy to put up big postseason numbers. Only two players in the past five postseasons – Harrison Barnes and Kawhi Leonard – have capped their rookie years with 100 points or more in the playoffs. And no rookie has come up with 200 points in a postseason since Miami’s Dwyane Wade had 234 in 2004.

10. AWARDS TIME

Here’s a tip: When the NBA schedules a “major announcement” with one of its teams in the next few weeks, odds are someone from that team is about to pick up a big award. Stephen Curry is expected to be the MVP for the second straight year, perhaps unanimously.

Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns also seems like a lock for rookie of the year honors. But a number of the races – coach of the year in particular – figure to be wide open. Awards are revealed periodically throughout the postseason.

OAKLAND, Calif. – Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors had their chance to celebrate their record-setting regular season before turning their focus to even bigger goals.

The 73 wins that put the Warriors in the record books and left the rest of the NBA chasing them all season are meaningless now. When the Warriors take the court Saturday to open their first-round series against the Houston Rockets, they will be on even footing with the other 15 playoff teams.

“The regular season doesn’t mean anything at this point,” Curry said Friday. “We have two months to play our best basketball and compete and get it done.”

Having successfully completed their chase for 73 wins to break the previous mark of 72 set by the Bulls 20 years ago, the Warriors have targeted a new number.

With 16 postseason victories, the Warriors will have a second straight championship to go along with their single-season wins record and a case for having the most successful season

been increased media scrutiny, the knowledge that any slipup could derail their chances and opponents playing their best in hopes of knocking off the league’s top team.

Golden State has survived that gauntlet well with the exception of losing home games to Boston and Minnesota in a span of five days early in April. But the Warriors rebounded to win their final four games to break the Bulls’ record.

“Really, all year we got everybody’s best shot,” Curry said. “Whether the atmosphere was there or not, on the court it felt like playoff intensity for the majority of our games. We feel confident we’re ready for the moment.”

Houston had to play it out until the end, too, needing a win in the regular-season finale just to clinch the playoffs.

The Rockets’ reward is a rematch with the Warriors, who knocked out Houston in five games last year in the Western Conference finals.

“You have to face them anyway, either its first round or the Western Conference finals,” star James Harden said. “We have a great opportunity. A lot of people are counting us out.”

LOYOLA WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Player mistreatment alleged against Ramblers’ coach

Retired WNBA star Sheryl Swoopes, coach of the Loyola women’s basketball team, speaks during the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2016 announcement April 4 in Houston.

“Coach Swoopes is aware of, and will fully cooperate with, the investigation.”

The Loyola Phoenix, the student newspaper, reported this week that 10 of the team’s 13 players planned to leave because they didn’t like the way Swoopes treated them.

Brett Stratinsky hit two home runs Friday to lift the McHenry County College baseball team to a 14-8 win over College of DuPage in nine innings in Glen Ellyn.

Stratinsky finished 2 for 4 with two home runs and four RBIs, while Austin Butts earned the win in relief. Butts, a 2015 Woodstock graduate, allowed three runs on four hits in 41/3 innings with two walks and three strikeouts.

Cullen Mayhew went 3 for 6 with a threerun home run for the Scots (21-10), and Jack Lasswell (Prairie Ridge) reached base six times with three walks and three steals.

Top-ranked Day tied for lead with Chappell in RBC Heritage

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Jason Day is back at the top in a bid for his third PGA Tour title in a month.

Coming off a disappointing Masters, the top-ranked Day shot a 2-under-par 69 Friday at the RBC Heritage to share the second-round lead with Kevin Chappell and Charley Hoffman.

Chappell and Hoffman shot 68s for the second straight day to match Day at 6-under 136.

BEARS

Long under contract through 2017 season

Bears exercise 5th-year option on guard

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com The Bears exercised the fifth-year option on right guard Kyle Long, keeping him under contract through the 2017 season, the team announced Friday.

Long has made the Pro Bowl in each of his three NFL seasons, the first two while playing right Kyle Long guard and last year as the team’s right tackle. He made the switch to tackle during the week before the Bears’ season opener.

Last month, the Bears signed right tackle Bobby Massie, which will move Long back to right guard.

The Bears had until May 2 to de-

cide to exercise the option. Long signed a four-year contract when he was drafted 20th overall in 2013.

Long not only has established himself as one of the best players on the Bears, but a leader in the locker room and for the offense.

He is one of three players who remain from Phil Emery’s 2013 draft (Marquess Wilson, Cornelius Washington) and has missed only one game.

In 2016, Long is due a base salary of $777,158, so the Bears will be thinking of a long-term deal at some point for one of the game’s best offensive linemen, now back at his preferred position, to keep him in Chicago for the foreseeable future.

In the meantime, they can guarantee he’ll be in a Bears uniform through at least 2017.

The Loyola athletic department has asked the university to review its women’s basketball program and coach Sheryl Swoopes after allegations of player mistreatment, the school said late Friday.

Swoopes, a former WNBA star and three-time gold medalist, was named to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame this month.

“Any time there are allegations of student-athlete mistreatment, it is more than concerning,” Jermaine Truax, the deputy athletic director and sports administrator for women’s basketball, said in a statement released to the SunTimes late Friday. “The welfare of our student-athletes is paramount. Thus, the Loyola University Chicago Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has asked for an independent and comprehensive university investigation into the women’s basketball program.

The Ramblers went 14-16 during the regular season and finished fifth in the Missouri Valley Conference. After going 6-25 in the 2014-15 season, five players transferred, including one who used the graduate transfer rule to play immediately at a new school.

Swoopes was hired three years ago this week with little coaching experience beyond a 2010 stint as an assistant at Mercer Island (Washington) High School.

Her playing career spoke for itself, though: she won four WNBA titles with the Houston Comets, a college championship at Texas Tech and three Olympic gold medals.

At Thursday’s WNBA Draft in Uncasville, Connecticut, Swoopes was lauded as one of the three original stars of the now-20-year-old WNBA. “We look forward to learning how we can resolve these allegations and improve the student-athlete experience within the women’s basketball program,” Truax said.

16 EASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME

C-G grad Nommensen to be inducted

By BARRY BOTTINO

sports@nwherald.com

Five seasons in professional baseball provided Brett Nommensen with unique opportunities, abundant memories and buddies from all over the country.

“Sometimes I joke that I have too many friends,” said Nommensen, a 2005 Cary-Grove graduate who starred at NCAA Division I Eastern Illinois. “I had 11 weddings two years ago and nine weddings last year.

“I’m going broke from weddings,” he joked.

This fall, Nommensen will need a suit and tie again for an event certain to draw plenty of his baseball friends.

EIU announced Monday that Nommensen, an outfielder who played for the Panthers from 2006 to ’09, will be part of a five-member class to be inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame on Oct. 8, two days after his 30th birthday.

“I was a little shocked,” Nommensen said of a congratulatory call last week from EIU athletic director Tom Michael.

“I was kind of speechless at first. It didn’t really sink in until I called my parents and heard how excited they were.”

Cary-Grove graduate Brett Nommensen is set to be inducted into the Eastern Illinois Athletic Hall of Fame in October.

Nommensen said he remained quiet about the honor until EIU released the news Monday on its website.

“I got a random text from a good friend from Eastern who had seen it, then everyone in my family put it on my Facebook page,” he said. “I started getting text messages and emails from people I haven’t talked to in years.”

In four seasons with the Panthers, Nommensen started 184 games and finished his career as the team’s all-time

leader in runs and hits while ranking second in walks, third in stolen bases and fifth in batting average.

As a junior in 2008, he earned firstteam All-Ohio Valley Conference honors and helped Eastern win the OVC tournament by batting .533 with eight runs scored. In the NCAA Lincoln Regional, Nommensen led the Panthers with a .500 average and six RBIs to earn a spot on the all-region team. That season, he batted .402 to become one of 15 players in EIU history to bat over .400 in a season.

His senior season was even more impressive.

While Eastern was earning its first national ranking in program history (No. 27 in the College Baseball poll), Nommensen set school records with a .525 batting average and a .652 on-base percentage. He was named to Baseball America’s Midseason All-America Team before missing a month with a wrist injury.

“It’s been seven years since I’ve been out of school, but it feels like yesterday because I keep in touch with all of them,” he said of his EIU teammates. “Every time we get together, all we talk about is that ’09 season and how much fun we

had. It was one of the funnest teams I’ve ever been involved with. I couldn’t have done it without my coaches and all the guys on my team.”

He was an eighth-round draft pick by the Tampa Bay Rays organization and spent five years in the minor leagues, posting a .270 career average and advancing to the Double-A level.

In 2013, a severely torn hamstring led to his retirement from baseball. “[The reward] was getting to do something that not everybody gets the chance to do,” he said. “I was lucky enough to be drafted by a great organization, meet some great guys and coaches and make a lot of lifelong friends.”

Nommensen, who lives in Chicago and works in sales for Motorola, regularly gets back to McHenry County to visit family, which includes his parents, Don and Lori, in Fox River Grove.

“My mom has a rule that I’ve got to come home once a month for a Sunday dinner,” he said. “I’m excited to be back home. I’ll probably be home a little more this summer since my little nephew is going to be playing some baseball.

“I’ve got to make sure he gets off on the right foot,” Nommensen said.
