I like metaphors. They are the condiments of our conversations, the pulp of our fiction, the salsa picante of our dreams. Metaphors can rain down in long knitting needles as we ponder life or become empty roads to nowhere as we write a newspaper column. You might say that a metaphor is like a simile patiently waiting for a bus to take it to a more deeply meaningful semantic analysis.

Now, that being said, there’s one metaphor that has gotten stuck in my craw. It has to do with that mysterious and allegorical box that we all are admonished to escape from if we are to have any dribble of creativity inside our poor, methodical, bromidic souls.

Yep, you’ve got to think outside the box.

Obviously, the box is a metaphor – unless, of course, you are indeed trapped inside some kind of container. But then you are actually physically thinking inside the box about what it would be like outside the box – which is, in a sense, a circular line of thought concerning a rectangular confinement.

So, where did this box come from? Evidently, it has its origin in what is called the “nine dots puzzle” created by a really clever fellow named Sam Lloyd in 1914 … .

The challenge is to connect all the dots by drawing four straight and continuous lines that pass through all the dots without lifting the pencil from the paper. The typical person will try to solve this puzzle by first connecting all of the dots around the perimeter (i.e. the box) and then proceeding to unsuccessfully connect the rest of the dots. However, the solution involves drawing lines that are outside the confines of the square “box” made up by the dots. Thus, in a most literal way, one must

WHERE IT’S AT

“think outside the box” to solve this conundrum … .

The transition from puzzle to cliché happened in the ’70s and ’80s as business management consultants employed the nine-dots challenge to stimulate clients to think laterally and creatively. Slowly, the catchphrase slipped into our common folk vocabulary, and the rest is metaphorical cardboard container history.

But why is it so imperative that we must think out of the box? This implies that there’s something inherently bad about the box. Something utterly mundane. Profoundly ordinary.

Extraordinarily monotonous, tedious and threadbare. The box has become our enemy, as controlling as the Dark Side of the Force and as repulsive as the smell of a fermented Baltic Sea herring.

Is it so terrible to be boxed in by understanding, good judgment and common sense?

Which is better, holding a door open for an old lady or brainstorming creative alternatives to courtesy? Being willing to admit a mistake or generating innovative excuses? Yielding to a difference of opinion or recklessly flaunting our divergent thinking? I’m all for imagination and ingenuity, but, geesh, let’s not forget about using all the plain, simple good stuff we find inside the box before we start implementing our escape plan to get outside of it.

Perhaps it would be easier to favor intelligent thinking outside of the box if it weren’t so lacking inside the box. If I had a chance to either increase my genuine creativity or reduce my pure stupidity, I think the latter is the best option. At least that’s what my friends and readers tell me.

THE BENEFITS FROM INTERNSHIPS

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Before he goes to the University of Missouri in the fall to pursue a business degree, 18-year-old Prairie Ridge High School senior Dean Brown is trying to get a step ahead.

The semester-long class he’s in – which is part of a Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155 program that works with the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce and the McHenry County Economic Development Corp. – helped set him up with an internship at the Crystal Lake Chamber, where he’s spent time working with different departments and meeting many people.

“The phrase behind class was ‘test drive a career,’ ” Brown said. “And I think if you get a step ahead and have

an internship before you go to college, that’s kind of a huge thing.”

Through the internship, Brown said, he has been a sponge and absorbed everything around him.

“For most of us, it’s our first jump into the professional atmosphere, and we’re just trying to see how things go,” Brown said.

Brown said he has learned a lot in a short time with the chamber this past semester, and he is interested in continuing the internship into the summer because he knows there is so much more to learn.

Other students, in high school and college, are setting up internships for the summer, and while the experience is beneficial for the student, businesses also can find value in using interns.

Mary Margaret Maule, Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce presi-

dent, said the chamber worked with District 155 to place about 60 students in the pilot program.

“We’re hoping 10 percent of those will continue in those roles going forward, and more importantly that the business community has an idea of what an intern can do and how to use them,” Maule said.

Kyra Tillman, president of BTM Industries in Woodstock, said the company has a long history of using interns in the summer and throughout the year.

Tillman said the company works with the McHenry County Workforce Network and McHenry County College through its Young Adult Internship Program, where 17- to 24-year-olds get an internship with an area manufacturer.

“We have found it to be a good op-

portunity to try somebody out,” Tillman said, adding that some interns are hired on for full-time jobs.

Interns at BTM get to work in different areas of manufacturing so they can start to form an interest in what they’d like to do, Tillman said. And throughout the internships, BTM workers learn, too.

“Generally, it just comes through asking, ‘Why?’ ” Tillman said.

When interns ask about the way things are done, it forces the employees to stop and think, Tillman said.

Rachel Sebastian, senior vice president and chief operating officer at Centegra Hospital – McHenry, said the hospital offers shadowing, internship and fellowship opportunities for people from high school to graduates.

MCC trustees backtracking on $34 million expansion plan

Trustees disagree on scale of project needed to update science labs, address space concerns

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – After a negative response from potential donors, the McHenry County Board of Trustees is backtracking on the $34 million expansion plan that was approved with a split vote in February.

President Clinton Gabbard this week told trustees that two potential donors who previously had shown interest in taking on the lion’s share of the capital campaign were pulling back for now, one citing the board’s inability to come together on the project. Trustees, some saying the project was too “grandiose” as it now stands, directed Gabbard to redo some of the due diligence as far as determining how to make the proposal more agreeable for all trustees.

With a 5-3 vote in February – Trustees Molly Walsh, Linda Liddell, Cynthia Kisser, Chairman Mike Smith, and student trustee Jeremy Sacramento voted in favor while Ron Parrish, Karen Tirio and Chris Jenner dissented – administrators were given permission to begin working with architects to design a project that would renovate and add

space for science labs, health science facilities and student space. It also allowed Gabbard to start having conversations with potential donors.

“I really began to have my most extensive conversations with donors and both of these donors have said ‘no’ for now,” Gabbard said, during the most recent committee of the whole meeting.

The lead donor, Gabbard said, felt he would be doing the board’s job if it wasn’t showing a unified front in terms of fundraising and getting the community involved. Without a capital campaign, which the funding proposal had covering $15 million of the total cost, the college’s president said the plan was no long viable in the amount of time the board previously set.

The setback also means the board will have to figure out how to handle a $10 per credit hour student infrastructure fee, which already was approved and implemented for students registering for summer classes.

While some trustees seemed more optimistic about the board’s ability to eventually come to a consensus about the project, others had their doubts.

“We had a good plan, and it failed be-

cause this board failed to understand the reality of what we are facing here,” Kisser said. “I don’t know if this is the right board, or this board as it is constituted now will be able to come up with a solution to this problem.”

Throughout the process of addressing space needs, which has stretched on for more than a year, trustees have seemed consistent about the fact that the science labs are out of date and cramped. Where they have disagreed is the scope of the project. “[The science labs are prehistoric, and they need to be made current,” Jenner said. “I’ve also agreed we need a little more space, but the scope of everything that’s been presented to us has been too big. ... Can’t we find a way to do this on a smaller scale and still get done what we need to get done?”

The project that was approved for design and planning had been whittled down from previous proposals involving construction in more areas and with price tags ranging from $45 million to $78 million.

It was suggested the college seek professional opinions of construction managers to verify the costs presented at this point.

“I think what [trustees] are looking for is to believe that we’re going with the most modest proposal to achieve our goals,” Gabbard said.

Man accused of shooting neighbor’s cat with BB gun

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WONDER LAKE – A Wonder Lake man was charged with animal cruelty this week stemming from an April 6 incident in which he allegedly shot his neighbor’s cat with a BB gun.

Robert O’Neil, 67, of the 7700 block of Beaver Road, intentionally caused serious injury to a companion animal when he shot the BB gun, according to a Wonder Lake police complaint filed Monday in McHenry County court.

The shot sent Mitchell, a year-old domestic short hair, to Companion Animal Specialty and Emergency Hospital in Crystal Lake for surgery to remove a BB lodged in his body and repair damage to his organs, said his owner, Kathryn Fee. The trip to the hospital came at the end

ing door and tried to get my cats,” Fee said.

“One came, and the other one never came.”

Fee found Mitchell about 7:30 p.m. underneath an abandoned cabin two houses away after O’Neil confessed that he had shot her cat, according to her account of the day and a Wonder Lake police report she provided to the Northwest Herald.

Fee said her cat is recovering at home.

Sheriff continues overhaul of the McHenry County Jail operations

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An ongoing overhaul of McHenry County Jail operations that included slashing the number of staff, reducing the cost of contracts and increasing the number of federal inmates is putting the sheriff’s office on track to meet financial goals set at the start of the budget year.

Two weeks ahead of his midbudget year presentation to the County Board, McHenry County Sheriff Bill Prim issued a news release highlighting some of the changes to the corrections center that have occurred since late 2014.

“I have made it a keystone of my administration to be a prudent steward of the taxpayers’ money, and we are starting to see results from that emphasis,” Prim said in the news release.

The sheriff’s office has gone from 407 staff members budgeted in the fiscal year that ended in November 2014 to 380 staff members currently budgeted, Prim said. A bulk of the reductions have come from the jail, which Prim said shed 26 employees, as retirements and resignations cut the number of employees who had been hired when the number of fed-

More online The Northwest Herald delved into McHenry County’s longtime jail bed-rental program with two federal agencies in a three-part series in December 2014.

Part 1: McHenry County jail rental program with feds hard to quantify.

Part 2: For one McHenry County detainee, life inside an immigration detention center is filled with heartbreak, fear and despair.

Part 3: McHenry County jail bed-rental program with immigration, U.S. Marshals may hit breaking point. eral contract prisoners was at its peak.

Prim first faced the possibility of reducing jail staff the day he took office in December 2014, the same day the budget began for the new fiscal year. County officials had reduced the sheriff’s office budget by $1.2 million amid concerns regarding a contract to house immigrants awaiting deportation proceedings and U.S. Marshals inmates.

Stemming the dwindling number of federal contract prisoners was another factor in correcting the jail’s cost struc-

ture, Prim said, adding that federal contract prisoners help subsidize jail operations and county expenditures.

At its peak in 2011, McHenry County housed an average of 280 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement prisoners every day. The number dropped to 236 in 2012 and 179 in 2013, with 2014 and 2015 sitting at about the same level, Prim said. Early 2016 numbers show an uptick in the daily average to 192.

McHenry County Administrator Peter Austin said the sheriff’s office has worked with a corrections hiring freeze and other restrictions. He expects the sheriff’s office to bring in $6 million in intergovernmental revenue, most of which is from the federal contract. The county budget calls for roughly $5.85 million in intergovernmental revenue from the sheriff’s office.

“Sheriff Prim has certainly been a very good partner in continuing to look at ways to reduce staffing levels in corrections,” Austin said.

Other cost-saving measures included rebidding the contracts for jail food service and medical services in 2015.

Officials said those contracts combined resulted in saving about $560,000.

Kane County governments weigh in on Longmeadow

By CAITLIN SWIECA

swieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – As construction on the first phase of Longmeadow Parkway began this week, governmental bodies in northern Kane County weighed in on the merits of the long-planned project.

The public discussions about whether to support the road come as opponents continue to rally against the project and after Algonquin Village President John Schmitt met with more than 100 opponents in a contentious town hall meeting.

Meanwhile, construction is underway in a nonresidential area for the first phase of the road that will connect Boyer/Huntley roads to Randall Road.

On Wednesday, the Dundee Township Board voted, 4-1, to pass a resolution opposing the project, backing up a township referendum last month in which 68.5 percent of respondents said they wanted municipal officials to oppose the project.

“All of us on the board who voted to support the voters, we felt the voters have a right – they live here, they pay taxes here – they have a right to say we don’t want our community to be this way,” Township Supervisor Sue Harney said.

Harney said she personally opposes the project but would have voted to support it if voters had done the same. She also said she didn’t agree with supporters of the project, who called the vote invalid because of the wording of the referendum that mentioned “air, noise and water pollution and negative impacts to property values.”

Elsewhere, municipal governments affirmed their support for the project. In East Dundee, the Village Board affirmed its previous support for the program by declining to pass a resolution opposing the project, 4-2.

Among those supporting the project was Trustee Allen Skillicorn, the Republican candidate for the 66th Illinois House District. On his website, Skil-

licorn called for a “compromise that brings the needed infrastructure but gives our community a say.”

In Sleepy Hollow, the Village Board reversed an earlier position by voting April 4 to support the project, 3-1.

The board had voted March 21 against supporting the project, but according to minutes from the April 4 meeting, Trustee Joseph Nemec said he had researched the matter further and felt the board should support Kane County’s efforts to obtain funding because “the bridge will be built regardless.”

Algonquin resident Jack Bavaro said opponents, who have been organizing through the Stop Longmeadow Tollbridge and CURB Longmeadow Facebook pages, plan to continue their efforts.

“What we’re continuing to do is call and write the governor, calling local politicians, doing writing campaigns across the board with the politicians in the area, trustees all the way up through state senators,” Bavaro said.

cswieca@shawmedia.com A joint resolution proposing to eliminate the office of lieutenant governor passed Friday by a 95-10 vote in the Illinois House.

State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, was the chief sponsor of the bill. He said eliminating the lieutenant

governor position would save the state about $1.6 million a year.

“I think we need to lead by example and show we can eliminate unnecessary offices,” McSweeney said. “We need to cut spending in the state.”

Eliminating the posi-

David McSweeney

tion would require an amendment to the Illinois Constitution, and both the House and Senate need to pass the resolution by a three-fifths majority for it to succeed.

If both bodies pass the bill, it will appear on the November ballot for approval by voters.

The bill will move to the Illinois Senate, although that body voted, 28-21, Thursday to reject an iden-

tical joint resolution sponsored by Sen. Thomas Cullerton, D-Villa Park. Passage would require 35 yes votes.

State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, was a chief co-sponsor of the House resolution.

If the amendment is approved, the office would be eliminated in 2019, after the current term of Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti ends.

SYCAMORE

Ridulph given more time to work on request for special prosecutor

By KATIE SMITH

ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – After a judge’s order Friday, Jack McCullough will return to his Seattle home for the first time since being arrested in 2011.

For the family members of Maria Ridulph, the closure they once thought they had in knowing who killed her on Dec. 3, 1957, has evaporated.

Judge William Brady agreed with DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack’s request to dismiss murder charges against McCullough, 76, who had been free on bond since April 15. Brady also allowed Maria’s brother, Charles Ridulph, more time to amend his petition for a special prosecutor.

The charges were dismissed without prejudice, leaving open the possibility that they could be reinstated in the future. But if that is to happen, it will require a different prosecutor.

The case will reconvene June 23 for a hearing to determine whether Schmack has a conflict of interest as prosecutor on the post-conviction case. The state’s attorney has refuted allegations from Ridulph and others that he approached the case with a predetermined belief that McCullough was innocent.

Schmack said Ridulph merely was unhappy with the judge’s decision, not Schmack’s behavior.

“It is a conflict of conclusion, and not conflict of interest,” Schmack said in court.

Ridulph’s attorney, Bruce Brandwein, told Brady he has documentation of meetings between Schmack and the Ridulph family that would prove the state’s attorney’s conflict of interest.

On Thursday, Brandwein submitted a 20-page petition with signatures from community members who supported

Jack McCullough walks out of the DeKalb County Courthouse on Friday in Sycamore with Crystal Harrolle, an investigator with the public defender’s office, free to travel back to Seattle after Judge William Brady dismissed charges against him. the appointment of a special prosecutor.

“It is their understanding that the defendant has been tried and convicted, and the appellate court has affirmed that conviction, that the evidence supported that conviction, and now that we have a state’s attorney who indicates he’s reviewed this ... there’s no conclusive evidence that I can find that, in fact, would support an innocence,” Brandwein said in court Friday.

In his amended petition, Brandwein said the “confidence in the impartiality and integrity of the criminal justice system” would be lost if the request were not granted.

“I’m not asking the court anything other than to give us a fair shot,” Brand-

wein said.

If a special prosecutor were appointed and chose to reopen the case, McCullough could be retried again, since his murder charges were dismissed without prejudice. A future DeKalb County state’s attorney also would have the same authority to open the case again, Schmack has said.

Richard Amato, a Sycamore lawyer and Republican candidate for state’s attorney, declined to comment.

McCullough was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 2012, and Illinois’ 2nd District Appellate Court upheld that conviction in a 2015 decision. But FBI investigators’ reports that were excluded from his 2012 trial – and found to have been properly ex-

cluded by the appellate judges – proved to be the key to his exoneration. A court order Friday showed McCullough is no longer barred from leaving Illinois, and the judge has waived his appearance for June 23.

Brady ruled April 15 to vacate McCullough’s conviction, and released him from prison on his own recognizance. Now officially a free man with no charges pending against him, McCullough has plans to return to his home in Seattle on Sunday, and likely won’t be back for the hearing in June, his stepdaughter, Janey O’Connor, said.

“Jack’s plan is to live life to the fullest,” O’Connor said. “He’s missed his family. He’s missed his grandkids.”

Meanwhile, the dismissal of McCullough’s charges means no one is being held accountable for the death of Sycamore girl, Maria Ridulph, who went missing nearly 60 years ago.

“I guess more than anything, I just feel really bad for the Ridulph family,” O’Connor said. “I really wish that between now and the 23rd when they’re in front of the court again, that Charles takes this time to review the FBI files himself.”

Throughout the court proceedings, the people of Sycamore have offered the Ridulph family unwavering support in maintaining McCullough’s conviction and seeking justice for Maria, Ridulph said.

“The people of Sycamore have been so supportive from the very beginning,” he said, choking back tears.

“Their support and the hundreds of signatures joining in my petitions collected over a matter of hours – literally hours – speaks volumes of the love in this community of Sycamore.”

Illinois Rep. Franks’ opposition to progressive income tax could kill bill

By GREG BISHOP

Illinois News Network Less than a week after Democrats proposed replacing Illinois’ flat income tax with a graduated tax system, the measure may already be on its way to defeat.

State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, said Thursday that he opposes the progressive tax proposal, which sponsors say would generate $1.9 billion.

“I’m not supportive of that,” said Franks. The longtime lawmaker represents McHenry County in northern Illinois – a heavily Republican district.

There are 71 Democrats in the Illinois House, the exact number of votes needed to put a constitutional amendment before voters that would allow the tax change. Seventy-one also is the number of votes needed to survive a veto by Gov. Bruce Rauner of proposed tax rates for a graduated tax system.

The governor opposes this tax change, and through a spokesperson

has called it “the straw that breaks the Illinois economy’s back.” Republicans opposed a similar attempt to change the state’s tax structure in 2014 and have signaled their opposition to this measure, too.

Without Franks’ vote or a Republican breaking ranks, the measure will fall one vote shy of passage.

Steve Brown, a spokesman for Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, said he had no comment on Franks’ statement.

Illinois currently levies a flat income tax of 3.75 percent. The flat tax system is written into the state’s constitution.

Moving to a graduated tax system requires voter approval of a constitutional amendment to change the way Illinoisans calculate their income taxes. The constitutional amendment under consideration by lawmakers does not include proposed rates, so separate legislation would be required to set the tax rates if the amendment was ap-

proved.

Deputy Majority Leader Lou Lang is sponsor of the current graduated tax proposal. Under Lang’s proposal, Illinoisans with $100,000 or less in taxable income would be taxed at 3.5 percent.

Rates would increase incrementally as taxable income increases. The highest rate in Lang’s proposal is 9.75 percent on taxable income above $1 million.

Proponents of the graduated income tax have said this system would make it easier to generate revenue for the state.

“Nimbleness in tax policy is critical,” state Sen. Don Harmon said on a press call about the proposal earlier in the week. “With the current flat tax requirement in our constitution, we have no nimbleness. We can’t raise rates on millionaires or people who make $60 million a year without also raising rates on minimum wage workers and middle-class families.”

Harmon is backing the measure in the Illinois Senate.

Continued from page A3 The hospital uses interns in departments including marketing, health administration, nursing, pharmacy and physical therapy, Sebastian said, and it often works with schools to help students get the internship experience their degree requires.

Centegra hospitals use about 20 unpaid interns a year, between eight and 12 paid ones and about 12 high school students a semester, Centegra spokeswoman Michelle Green said.

“It’s a win-win, and it allows us to connect with our community and have those relationships with the universities, and to help our younger generation get ready for the future,” Sebastian said.

Internship and shadowing opportunities always are available with Centegra, and people should reach out if interested, Sebastian said.

And when interns are working anywhere, they always should soak in the experience and listen, she said.

“If there’s a project, always say, ‘yes,’ ” Sebastian said. “Because you’re going to learn something from it, or you’re going to realize that it is something you are interested in.”

WOODSTOCK – Video gaming revenue that Woodstock receives now will be designated toward promoting the marketing and economic development of the city and supporting and expanding the city’s cultural programming.

Previously, funds received from video gaming machines went into the city’s general fund, Woodstock Mayor Brian Sager said.

The Woodstock City Council unanimously approved the resolution at its Tuesday meeting.

“There has been some question as to the overriding benefit of video gaming in the community,” Sager said before the meeting. “And so what we have determined through this resolution is that we want to specify that the generated revenue would be dedicated to two primary areas.”

The resolution specifies video gaming revenue be used for programs including the city’s marketing efforts, enterprise zone administrative costs, Summer in the Park event, hotel/motel tax supple-

mental event funding, the sister city program and traditional holiday lighting of the Square.

“So by dedicating these funds to those particular programs, it, one, identifies a revenue source to support those important endeavors or efforts, and two, demonstrates commitment to the longterm sustainability of these efforts,” Sager said.

Video gaming was authorized in Woodstock in the middle of fiscal 2014, according to city documents, and by January 2014, 13 video gaming licenses had been issued in the city.

The city receives 5 percent of the net income from each machine, according to city budgets. Tax is collected and administered by the Illinois Department of Revenue and distributed to the city monthly.

The city received about $34,000 in video gaming revenue in fiscal 2014, city budgets show. The next fiscal year, the city took in nearly five times as much.

About $199,000 is estimated to come in for the 2016 fiscal year, according to the city’s most recent budget, and as of March, 20 video gaming licenses have been issued in the city.

Earth Day planting party

LOCAL BRIEF Wonder Lake home uninhabitable after fire

Chesterbrook Academy preschool student Brian Kozlowski adds dirt to cover herbs he planted for the school’s Earth Day planting party in Lakewood. The harvested herbs and vegetables will be donated to the Grafton Food Pantry.

WONDER LAKE – A single-family home in Wonder Lake was left uninhabitable Friday afternoon after a blaze that brought firefighters from eight agencies, an official said.

The Wonder Lake Fire Protection District was called at 3:32 p.m. to 2606 E. Chestnut Drive for a reported structure fire.

Lt. Mike Beyer said that upon arrival, firefighters found a single-story home with heavy flames and smoke coming from the front, side and back of the structure.

One person was inside at the time of the fire but was able to exit the home before firefighters arrived, Beyer said, adding he did not have identifying information about the person.

Nobody was reported injured, and the fire is under investigation at this time, he said.

No damage estimates were available as of Friday night, but the house was considered uninhabitable.

Beyer said the Wonder Lake Fire Protection District was assisted by agencies from Richmond, Spring Grove, Hebron, Woodstock, McHenry, Crystal Lake and Harvard.

ANTIOCH – The Florida fugitive fatally shot outside an Antioch-area tavern last weekend shot himself in the head during an incident involving four McHenry and Lake County Sheriff’s deputies, authorities said Friday.

However, Lake County Chief Deputy Coroner Orlando Portillo said autopsy results were inconclusive in determining if it was the self-inflicted wound that killed 53-year-old Gerald R. Boyes. An autopsy revealed Boyes also was shot in the arms and torso, Portillo said.

Boyes was shot by deputies trying to arrest Gerald R. him at 12:15 a.m. Satur- Boyes day when he brandished a handgun in the stolen 2015 Ford Flex he was in, said Lake County Major Crime Task Force Assistance Cmdr.

Thomas Nugent. Boyes also was wanted on a parole violation and was a person of interest in a double homicide, authorities said.

Interviews with the deputies this week revealed all four fired their guns, Nugent said. He added because the exchange lasted only one to three seconds, he does not expect anyone at the scene to be able to determine if Boyes shot himself before or after deputies started shooting.

“None of the officers were aware he

fired his weapon,” Nugent said.

Nugent would not say how many times each deputy fired, or what kind of gun Boyes had.

Boyes, who authorities said previously lived in the Lake County area, was a person of interest in the April 11 murder of his father, Gerald Boyes Sr., 73, and his father’s girlfriend, Billie Potter, 67, in Paducah, Kentucky. Police have since identified Boyes as the suspect, saying he beat the couple to death with a hammer.

McCracken County, Kentucky, Sheriff Jon Hayden said among the many pieces of evidence leading police to suspect Boyes in the murder was a pair of pants with blood and mud stains found in the back of the stolen vehicle.

He said Boyes Sr. was killed in the backyard on a rainy night.

“It was obvious there was a fierce struggle or fight,” Hayden said, adding police are continuing to process evidence.

Authorities said Boyes had a strained relationship with his father regarding the estate of his brother, who was killed while a riding a motorcycle last year.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s deputies are nine- and 23-year veterans of the department, while the Lake County Sheriff’s deputies have been with the department for 10 and 11 years, police spokespeople said.

None of the deputies were injured.

They have all been placed an paid administrative leave.

Coroner: Florida fugitive killed near Antioch shot himself in head

D-155 board OKs Sage YMCA pool rental contract

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A Community High School District 155 official hopes a newly approved contract for the competitive swimming pool at Sage YMCA will lay the foundation for future use.

The full school board this week unanimously approved a $45,850 contract for the use of the pool for all District 155 swim practices and meets for the 2016-17 school year.

The contract will allow the use of seven of the eight lanes for two hours a day during non-peak periods at the YMCA, District 155 Assistant Superintendent of Finance, Operations and Technology Jeremy Davis said days before the board meeting.

The $25 per lane per hour the district will pay was negotiated down Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com from the facility’s typical price, $50 per Lifeguard Tim DCamp watches as a member swims laps in 2014 at the brand new eightlane per hour, Davis said. lane, 25-yard competition pool at the Sage YMCA in Crystal Lake.

Last year, the district paid a total of The allotted time will mean stu- ninth period, which is a concept par-

$43,040, including the cost for meets, pool rentals and transportation to practices, according to district data.

The district last summer moved its swim practices from the Sage YMCA after the rental cost spiked, and District 155 swimmers were sent instead to Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center in Crystal Lake and to Woodstock High School.

Todd Gray of Lake in the Hills, whose daughter has been on the District 155 co-op girls swim team throughout high school, said he thought this was the right move.

“It’s the right thing for the community,” he said. “Since we don’t have a high school that has a pool, we need something close.”

He added that the first year the district used Sage YMCA, the later practice times left his daughter working on homework until late in the night.

“Last year, it was nice that it was right after school, but when you factored in bus time to and from Woodstock High School, it really added on a lot of time, so I really think this is the right way for the school board to go,” Gray said.

CHICAGO – Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, several other former congressmen and a onetime CIA chief were among 41 people who wrote letters asking for leniency for Dennis Hastert as the former U.S. House speaker heads to sentencing next week in his hush-money case.

The names of people who wrote to support Hastert, 74, were made public Friday in a defense filing in federal court in Chicago that included copies of the letters. Hastert will be sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty last year to breaking banking laws as the Illinois Republican sought to pay $3.5 million to someone referred to in filings only as “Individual A” to ensure that person didn’t divulge past misconduct by Hastert. Prosecutors say the core of the misconduct is sexual abuse

by Hastert when he coached wrestling and taught at Yorkville High from 1965 until 1981.

The letters are part of a defense bid to get probation for a man who was once second in line of succession to the U.S. presidency and who now faces up to five years in prison.

In his letter asking the judge to show mercy, Delay, also a Republican, emphasized Hastert’s faith.

“He is a good man that loves the Lord,” Delay wrote. “He doesn’t deserve what he is going through.”

Former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert arrives at the federal courthouse in Chicago for his arraignment June 9, 2015, on federal charges in his hush-money case.

• Saturday, April 23, 2016

Prosecutors have painted a disturbing portrait of Hastert that contrasts with the many letters that described him as fundamentally decent, pointing to accounts of how the then-coach often sat in a recliner chair in the locker room with a direct view of the boys shower.

Hastert abused at least four boys at Yorkville High, prosecutors said in an April 8 presentencing memo that

who wrote letters included former Illinois Attorney General Ty Fahner; former Illinois state Rep. Doris Karpiel; retired Kendall County Sheriff Richard Randall; and Leo Kocher, a wrestling coach at the University of Chicago.

Hastert’s wife and children also submitted letters, including his son, Ethan Hastert.

“Many of the people who have known my father best over the years were shocked, like me, to learn of these allegations and the resulting plea,” he wrote. “That is, perhaps, because we know my father as the man who has done so many wonderful things for so many.”

In her letter, Hastert’s wife of almost 42 years, Jean Hastert, cited her husband’s deteriorating health. And she added: “This has taken a terrible toll on our family. Please consider us when determining an appropriate sentence.”

Prosecutors have made clear that sex-abuse allegations will be the focus of sentencing. The hearing will include one accuser – a former wrestler referred to as “Individual D” in court papers – making a victim’s statement.

Durkin said last week he wouldn’t consider any of 60 letters filed under seal earlier unless they were refiled publicly. Defense attorneys had to go back to the letter writers to get their permission to make them public. Nineteen of the original letters weren’t refiled.

Village offers rain barrels, composters to residents Village residents will have the opportunity to buy rain barrels and composters through the village’s partnership with The Land Conservancy of McHenry County.

The village encourages the use of rain barrels as part of its water conservation program. The barrels are placed under a downspout to collect and store rain water, which then can be used to water gardens during dry weather.

Residents can put fruit scraps, vegetable waste and yard waste into composters to help reduce the

amount of garbage sent to a landfill. The natural process produces organic compost, great for use in the garden.

To order a rain barrel or composter, visit www.conservemc.org

by May 13. When placing an order, check the box for Algonquin pickup.

Orders may be picked up between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. May 20 at the Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive, or by arrangement the following week.

Lawmakers OK $600M aid for struggling colleges

By IVAN MORENO and ASHLEY LISENBY The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ college and universities received a much-needed lifeline Friday when lawmakers approved a $600 million short-term funding fix for the institutions, which have been struggling without state funding during the monthslong budget stalemate, even laying off employees.

GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner was expected to sign the bill, which is a one-time deal and includes nearly $170 million in tuition grants for low-income students.

But state Comptroller Leslie Munger said she wouldn’t wait for the Republican’s signature and, instead, immediately will begin processing payments for schools. The rare bipartisan deal comes at an especially crucial time for Chicago State University, which has been on the verge of closing its doors.

“By passing this bipartisan agreement, lawmakers in both chambers put aside political differences to provide emergency assistance for higher education, ensuring universities and community colleges remain open and low-income students can pay for school,”

Weight loss plans show results at wildlife park

HANNA CITY – Wildlife Prairie Park is seeing promising results with the weight loss plans it implemented for many of the animals living at the facility outside of Peoria.

A weigh-in was held Thursday at the park in Hanna City for all of its nonherd animals on exhibit, including black bears, badgers, bobcats and cougars.

The results proved the effectiveness of the animals’ diets and exercise regimes, which were introduced to the animals after veterinary evaluations a year ago revealed the sedentary lifestyle of captivity had taken its toll on them, the Journal Star reported.

The park’s resident male black bear, TR, weighed in at 600

Chicago State University in Chicago, seen in February, has been on the verge of closing because of the state budget impasse.

Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said in a statement. “We are hopeful the General Assembly will build on this bipartisan momentum in the weeks ahead as we negotiate a balanced budget with reform for Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017.”

But Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan cautioned in a statement that the money should be seen as emergency aid, not a solution. Rauner’s

pounds, down from 756 pounds a year ago. His female counterpart, Molly, went from 442 pounds last year to 392 pounds.

To help the bears lose weight, zoo staff gave them less fruit and more vegetables, and split up their meals into smaller servings throughout the enclosure to encourage foraging, instead of putting them in the same place every day.

Food for other animals, such as the bobcats and raccoons, was hidden in their pens so they had to find it or figure out how to retrieve it.

Curator Adrienne Bauer said the animals are more likely to be seen playing, searching for food and climbing in their enclosures since they began their new, healthy lifestyles.

Funeral officials: State program halt leads to stress

SPRINGFIELD – Funeral directors said the current stalemate over Illinois’ budget has meant more stress for low-income families who have lost loved ones.

main rival in the impasse, Madigan still remains frustrated.

“Time will tell if Gov. Rauner has further intentions of destroying our state institutions and human service providers, or if he will begin working with us to craft a full-year budget that is not contingent on passage of his demands that will destroy the middle class,” he said.

Rauner and Democrats who control the Legislature have been in an epic 10-month standoff over a budget that should’ve taken effect July 1. Democrats have balked at his proposals to curb the power of unions and pass business-friendly legislation as part of any budget agreement. Money for this bill is possible because of a surplus in the state’s Education Assistance Fund.

The House overwhelmingly approved the aid on a 106-2 vote, and the Senate passed it unanimously.

The long wait for state help already has caused irreversible damage at some state higher education institutions.

At Western Illinois University in Macomb, a few employees have lost their jobs, and another 110 have received notices they will be laid off this

The State Journal-Register reported that suspension of the state’s funeral and burial assistance program means more low-income families cremate their dead or hold more meager funerals. According to funeral officials, more families of indigent individuals also are leaving their loved ones’ remains unclaimed at county morgues.

“You have a lot of unemployment. You have a lot of people who need assistance, and it’s not there,” said James Gilkesson, a funeral director at Simons Mortuary in Peoria.

The Illinois Department of Human Services said about 6,600 families were served by the assistance program in 2014.

The program had cost the state between $6.4 million to $9 million annually.

Chris Butler, president of Butler Funeral Homes and Cremation Tribute Center in Springfield, said prices often would be cut drastically by funeral homes for families of those who qualified for the state aid. He said the program was helpful in stretching

summer. The school’s share of the money approved Friday likely won’t change that, Western Illinois budget director Matt Bierman said.

Earlier this week, The Associated Press reported that the University of Illinois’ flagship campus in Champaign-Urbana is preparing to lay off some of its more than 1,000 clerical, child-development and Extension Service workers, although the number has not been decided. The anticipated infusion of money does not affect those plans, a campus spokeswoman said.

Nevertheless, some lawmakers hailed their agreement because it came after many months in which compromise has been elusive, and gave some hope that it could signal progress on a larger budget deal.

But not everyone was happy with the higher education deal. A House Democrat who voted against it said he would’ve preferred a total fix to the budget and some of his colleagues wanted money for social service programs.

“We have created a political freak show and a financial Armageddon for our state,” said Rep. Jack Franks of Marengo. “Don’t be too proud.”

Labor board asks judge for injunction in Chicago school case

CHICAGO – Illinois state labor officials have asked a judge for a temporary injunction against strikes like the one the Chicago Teachers Union had April 1.

Chicago Public Schools has filed an unfair-labor-practices charge against the CTU, arguing that the union’s one-day strike was illegal. CPS and the union are in the middle of contract negotiations.

The Illinois Education Labor Relations Board held a preliminary hearing Thursday on Chicago Public Schools’ charge.

CPS wants the union to be prevented from holding strikes that it said are outside state law.

The Chicago Tribune said the board still has to hold a full hearing on the strike’s legality.

The union has said that federal law gives it authority to strike without complying with Illinois

laws that require a series of steps before walkouts.

Federal officials deny Illinois appeal for disaster funds

SPRINGFIELD – The Federal Emergency Management Agency has denied the state’s appeal for federal assistance to help local governments recover from flooding and storms in December and January.

Illinois Emergency Management Agency James Joseph said Friday in a news release that states with high populations of concentrated urban areas struggle to reach thresholds required by the federal government.

He said calls the process unfair and the state’s poorest areas will continue to suffer.

The state appealed earlier this month after FEMA denied aid to help local governments recover flood-related expenses. The appeal called for nearly $17 million in costs for several counties, including Alexander, Cass, Jackson, Monroe, Pike and St. Clair.

A ‘presidential’ Trump 2.0?

Not so fast, candidate says

By JILL COLVIN and JULIE PACE The Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. – Standing in a conference room at a swanky South Florida hotel, Donald Trump’s chief adviser assured Republican insiders his boss was ready to tone down his overthe-top persona.

He’s been “projecting an image,” Paul Manafort told the GOP officials. “The part that he’s been playing is now evolving.”

But two hours later, Trump was telling the crowd at a rambunctious rally in Pennsylvania that he wasn’t ready to change.

“I just don’t know if I want to do it yet,” Trump said Thursday as supporters roared with approval. Ever the entertainer, he said that acting more presidential would leave his audiences “bored,” and that instead of drawing thousands, “I’ll have 150 people.”

The comments by Trump and new aide Manafort underscore a central tension surging through the Republican front-runner’s campaign. Even as he builds a more-professional operation, the billionaire businessman appears – at least for now – unable or unwilling to dial back the free-wheeling brashness that has both energized his millions of supporters and turned off millions of other Americans.

There have been previous promises that a more “presidential” Trump was about to emerge, as well as descriptions from supporters who insist there’s a charming, down-to-earth side of the real estate mogul that surfaces in private. Trump has shown flashes of what the “other Trump” might look like, but quickly reverted to his familiar campaign self.

The latest talk from Manafort comes at a crucial moment in Trump’s campaign, as he seeks to unite the Republican Party behind

Many in the party fear Trump is viewed so unfavorably by a wide swath of Americans that he would not only keep Republicans out of the White House but also damage GOP candidates running for other offices and perhaps even cause irreparable damage to the party.

South Carolina GOP chairman Matt Moore attended Manafort’s presentation in Florida, and emerged confident that Trump was prepared to make necessary changes.

“He has an opportunity to reinvent himself as a more presidential front-runner for the party. And I hope he does that,” Moore said.

But Trump’s critics, including rival Ted Cruz, tried to use Manafort’s assertion that he has simply been “playing a part” as an opportunity to undercut the front-runner’s core strength: that he’s authentic to a fault

and says what he believes, regardless of the political repercussions.

Speaking to reporters after an event in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Friday, Cruz said Trump’s advisers had “gone down and told Republican Party bosses that everything Donald has said on the campaign is just a show, he doesn’t believe any of it.”

If there’s an abrupt change, some supporters might feel the same way.

“If he suddenly changed, it would be really disappointing,” said Irene Mallabar, 67, a retired antique dealer from Milford, Delaware. “That’s not who he is,” she said at a Trump rally at the State Fairgrounds in Harrington. “It wouldn’t feel real. Or maybe we wouldn’t know what was real.”

Cruz trails Trump in the delegate count, but is banking on being able to keep the front-runner from reaching the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the nomination.

That would push the GOP race toward a contested convention.

By KANTELE FRANKO The Associated Press

PIKETON, Ohio – Eight members of a family, including a mother sleeping in a bed with her 4-dayold baby next to her, were fatally shot in the head Friday, leaving their rural town reeling while a manhunt was launched for whoever is responsible.

Three children, including the newborn, survived the grisly killings, which left seven adults and a teenage boy dead in four homes in Pike County, Attorney General Mike DeWine and Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader said. The economically distressed county in the Appalachian Mountain region has 28,000 residents and is 80 miles east of Cincinnati.

DeWine said there were no indications that any of the dead killed themselves. Reader said if the shooter or shooters are at large, they should be considered armed and “extremely dangerous.”

DeWine said, “There may be more than one, there may be three.

We just don’t know at this point.”

Some of the victims were in bed, indicating they were shot while they were sleeping, authorities said. The victims were identified as members of the Rhoden family.

“It’s heartbreaking,” DeWine said. “The one mom was killed in

A motive isn’t clear, authorities said, but they urged other members of the Rhoden family to take precautions, and Reader advised all residents to stay inside and lock their doors Friday night.

“This really is a question of public safety, and particularly for any of the Rhoden family,” DeWine said.

The first three homes where bodies were found are within a couple miles of one another on a sparsely populated stretch of road, while the eighth body, that of a man, was found in a house farther away, the sheriff said.

The other surviving children were 6 months old and 3 years old, authorities said. Reader wouldn’t say where they were taken Friday.

Authorities didn’t release any information on whether there were multiple weapons used or whether anything was missing

from the homes.

Area resident Goldie Hilderbran said she lives about a mile from where she has been told a shooting took place.

“I first heard about it this morning from our mail carrier,” Hilderbran said.

Hilderbran said the mail carrier told her deputies had stopped her from delivering mail in the area they had blocked off.

“She just told me she knew something really bad has happened,” Hilderbran said.

Gov. John Kasich, campaigning in Connecticut for his Republican presidential bid, said his office was monitoring the situation in Pike County and the search for the killer or killers.

“But we’ll find them, we’ll catch them and they’ll be brought to justice,” he said.

The FBI in Cincinnati also said it was closely monitoring the situation and has offered assistance to the Pike County sheriff’s office if needed.

Peebles High School imposed a precautionary lockout Friday morning after authorities notified the superintendent of shootings that had occurred a few miles away, an official said.

Piketon is the site of a Cold War-era uranium plant that was closed in 2001 and is still being cleaned up.

ZALYSHANY, Ukraine – Viktoria Vetrova knows the risk her four children take in drinking milk from the family’s two cows and eating dried mushrooms and berries from the forest.

But the cash-strapped Ukrainian government canceled the local school lunch program for 350,000 children last year – the only source of clean food in this village near Chernobyl. So rural families are resorting to milk and produce from land still contaminated by fallout from the world’s worst nuclear accident three decades ago. Vetrova’s 8-year-old son Bogdan suffers from an enlarged thyroid, a condition which studies have linked to radioactivity.

“We are aware of the dangers, but what can we do?” said Vetrova, standing in her kitchen after pouring a glass of milk. “There is no other way to survive.”

Vetrova’s family and thousands of others are caught between the consequences of two disasters: the residue from Chernobyl and the recent plunge of Ukraine’s economy.

After the April 26, 1986, explosion and fire, the most heavily affected areas in Ukraine were classified into four zones. Residents from three of them were evacuated or allowed to volunteer for resettlement. But the village of Zalyshany, 32 miles southwest of the destroyed reactor, is in the fourth zone – not contaminated enough for resettlement but eligible for subsidies to help with health issues.

Ukraine’s Institute of Agricultural Radiology says the most recent testing in the zone showed radiation levels in wild-grown food such as nuts, berries and mushrooms were two to five times higher than what is considered safe.

But Ukraine’s economy has since been weakened by separatist war in its eastern industrial heartland, endemic corruption and the loss of Crimea, which was annexed by Russia.

Last year, the Ukrainian government, which is propped up by billions of dollars in loans from the United States, the European Union and the World Bank, cut off paying for school lunches in Zone 4. There are no official cost figures, but a typical price of about 80 U.S. cents would put the program’s funding at about $50 million a year.

“Hot meals in the schools were the only clean food, which was tested for radiation, for the children,” teacher Natalya Stepanchuk said. “Now the children have gone over to the local food, over which there is absolutely no control.”

In 2012, the government halted the monitoring of radioactive contamination of food and soil in Zone 4, which was called the “zone of strict radio-ecological control.” The state has also canceled a program for buying Ferocin, known as Prussian Blue, a substance farmers could give their cattle to hasten the elimination of the cesium-137 isotope. Without financial help, farmers in the area are unwilling to buy it on their own.

The sheriff said Prince was last seen alive by an acquaintance who dropped him off at Paisley Park at 8 p.m. Wednesday. He was found by staff members who went to the compound the next morning when they couldn’t reach him by phone.

MINNEAPOLIS – Prince talked dirty in song but had a reputation for clean living. He also had an ability to put on shows that were electrifying in their athleticism.

But after his death at age 57 – following a series of canceled shows and a reported emergency plane landing for medical treatment – questions swirled Friday over whether the music superstar had been hiding serious health problems from his fans.

An autopsy was conducted Friday and the body released to his family.

Authorities said it could be weeks before the cause of death is released.

But Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson said Prince’s body had no signs of violence when he was found unresponsive Thursday morning in an elevator at Paisley Park, his estate in suburban Minneapolis, and there was nothing to suggest it was suicide. Olson said it appeared Prince had been at the compound alone.

“This is certainly a big event internationally and nationally, and I can tell you that we are going to leave no stone unturned with this and make sure the public knows what hap-

miles outside Minneapolis, could not revive Prince, the sheriff said. He said emergency workers did not administer Narcan, a drug they carry to counteract overdoses.

Prince, born Prince Rogers Nelson, had spoken about struggling with childhood epilepsy, and friends said he had hip trouble. His former percussionist Sheila E. told The Associated Press that Prince suffered the effects from years of jumping off risers and speakers on stage while wearing high heels.

“There was always something kind of bothering him, as it does all of us,” she said. “I hurt every single day. You know we’re like athletes, we train, and we get hurt all the time. We have so many injuries.”

Prince’s cousin Chazz Smith said he could not comment on reports about Prince’s health and would not say when he last saw his cousin.

“I can tell you this: What I know is that he was perfectly healthy,” said Smith, who formed a band with Prince when they were kids.

Smith said Prince swore off drugs and alcohol as a kid, and the group they played with saw a lot of music greats fall, so “we decided to never get into that stuff, and no one did.”

THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN

Area youth raise money for cancer

Thumbs up: To the area baseball teams set to raise money to support cancer-related charities coming up. Jacobs has a Walk Off Cancer Baseball Day set for April 30 to benefit the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation, while Hampshire is raising donations for its #KCancer game against Woodstock North on May 14 to benefit the Jason Motte Foundation.

Thumbs down: To the Illinois Department of Revenue for misallocating $1.3 million worth of Personal Property Tax Fund dollars to several McHenry County taxing bodies. No matter the excuse for it, these funds will have to now be paid back over time, which could negatively affect some of the districts who used the funds for operations and maintenance. Can someone remind us why we should trust this state with more of our money?

Thumbs up: To all of the participants in and organizers of Sunday’s McHenry County Human Race 5K at McHenry County College. Organizers hope to raise $70,000 for more than 60 area nonprofit organizations that do great work in our communities, and we certainly hope they reach their target.

Thumbs up: To the new owners taking over the Huntley Outlet Center. If our reader response is any indication, the mall has a lot of local fans – and potential customers – who are eager to see it operating at full capacity. With the opening of the interchange at Route 47 and Interstate 90 and dedicated owners willing to invest in its future, we are optimistic the mall will be able to bring new businesses, new jobs and new revenue to the area.

Thumbs down: To the McHenry County Board for putting itself into a position where it had to pay $25,000 in taxpayer money to settle a lawsuit over a symbolic vote. The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150, which represents county government building maintenance workers and county Division of Transportation drivers, filed a lawsuit last year alleging board members violated the Illinois Open Meetings Act when they met with Gov. Bruce Rauner before a symbolic vote on his Turnaround Agenda. The $25,000 covers the union’s attorney fees, and the lawsuit has been dropped.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Court considers president’s actions on immigration reform Frustrated by his inability to get an immigration reform bill through Congress, President Obama decided to rewrite the law himself.

So in November 2014, just after the House killed a Senate-passed immigration bill, the president signed an executive order giving some 4.9 million illegal immigrants – many of them the parents of U.S. citizens or legal residents – what amounts to a grant of immunity. Or as the White House Solicitor General Donald Verrilli defined it to the U.S. Supreme Court in argument this week, they were given a grant of “lawful presence.”

That allowed them not merely to avoid deportation

but to work and to collect an array of benefits. And that’s where Texas and eventually 25 other states said just wait a darned minute and sued the federal government for a vast overreach.

The issue here is less about a broken immigration system – which we agree desperately needs fixing and a path to legal residence for the estimated 11 million immigrants who are here illegally – than it is about an abuse of presidential power.

And it was that issue that the court’s more conservative members pursued during Monday’s argument.

“What we’re doing here is defining the limits of discretion,” Justice Anthony Kenne-

dy said. “And it seems to me that that is a legislative, not an executive act.”

Chief Justice John Roberts asked if the president could grant “deferred removal to every unlawfully present alien in the U.S. right now.” At least Verrilli cited statutory restraints on the president there.

But then he’s already defied some of those “restraints.”

A 4-4 decision would allow a lower court ruling against the president to stand and halt this particular assault on the Constitution. But it surely shows how critical the next election, however loony it seems now, has become.

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.

Eating sustainably

To the Editor: With the 47th annual observance of Earth Day on Friday, this is a great time to explore more effective ways of slowing climate change and conserving Earth’s natural resources for future generations.

A 2010 UN report charged animal agriculture with 19 percent of manmade greenhouse gases – more than all transport – and recommended a global shift to a vegan diet. A subsequent World Watch study placed that contribution closer to 50 percent. Meat and dairy production also dumps more water pollutants than all other human activities combined. It is the driving force in global deforestation and wildlife habitat destruction.

Last fall, England’s prestigious Chatham House declared that reducing meat consumption is critical to achieving global climate goals. A report from Oxford University found that global adoption of a vegan diet would reduce greenhouse emissions by two thirds. The 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has recommended reduced meat consumption and an environmentally sustainable diet.

VIEWS Austin Berg ployed a year after their release.

One major barrier to steady employment for those with criminal records?

Occupational licenses, which cover jobs from barber, to cosmetologist, to funeral director, to architect. In fact, nearly 25 percent of Illinois’ workforce requires government permission to work. A youthful mistake could lead to months or years of waiting for permission to work, or even a lifetime ban, for a wide swath of jobs that can provide a path to self-sufficiency in adulthood.

It’s encouraging then that the Illinois Department of Corrections and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation announced April 11 that ex-offenders who have completed training in barbering and cosmetology while incarcerated will be able to apply for a license to work before their release from prison. Instead of waiting months to get their licenses after release, this change will allow more former offenders to find work as

Just as we replace fossil fuels with wind, solar, and other sustainable energy sources, we must replace animal foods with the more sustainable vegetables, fruits and grains. Being mindful of this can help us make better choices at the supermarket.

Compromise on Longmeadow Parkway

To the Editor: I grew up in Algonquin, in Gaslight along Hanson Road. It is my opinion that Algonquin has needed an additional bridge for decades.

Last Thursday, it took me over 20 minutes to drive less than two miles from work. The Route 72 bridge was backed up to Hoffman Estates. If there is an accident or construction, delays are even worse. It is my opinion that the region needs another bridge for traffic relief.

I also believe that the Dundee Township non-binding referendum speaks volumes. The people who live in Willoughby Farms deserve a seat at the table, and I prefer a compromise that balances the needs of the region with the reality of

soon as they complete their sentences.

Megan Royer of Peoria is enrolled in a cosmetology program while incarcerated. The new rules will allow her to apply for a license six months before her scheduled release in 18 months.

“We need to provide for our families as soon as we get out there …” Royer said. “Being able to go out into society and have that license on hand, we are able to just start applying for jobs in the field. It’s a great thing for them to do.”

But opening paths to productive futures for ex-offenders will require more than tweaks around the edges. Ex-offenders’ returning to a life of crime is a massive problem in Illinois. Nearly half of the people released from Illinois prisons each year will have returned three years later.

This cycle of crime comes with enormous fiscal costs for Illinoisans and threatens public safety.

The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority says Illinois taxpayers will pay about $5.7 billion over the next five years in costs related to ex-offenders returning to prison, assuming the current rate of return stays constant. And repeat offenders commit a majority of crimes in the state, ac-

cording to the Illinois Sentencing Policy Advisory Council.

With this in mind, Gov. Bruce Rauner has set a goal of safely reducing Illinois’ prison population 25 percent by 2025.

The General Assembly is considering a few bills that would help reduce repeat offenses by removing barriers to employment. House Bill 5973, for instance, would prohibit the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation from denying an application for an occupational license based on criminal offenses that are unrelated to the profession in question. This is an encouraging reform that would prevent Illinoisans from being denied their right to work because of a crime for which they have already received punishment, and that has no relation to the career they want to pursue.

The fiscal and societal costs of unemployment and underemployment among ex-offenders are staggering.

I know Mrs. Obama is not a nutritionist. Therefore, the government hired nutritionists to create the menus at the expense of taxpayers, you and me.

According to one study, about half of kids throw away half or all of the meal. How nutritious is that? That trash is at the expense of all taxpayers.

Susan Trieschmann was sick of hearing the same story.

Kid grows up in a dangerous household. Kid commits a crime. Kid says he never would have done it if he had a job.

What Trieschmann heard day after day in meetings of formerly incarcerated youth in Evanston spurred her to act. With the skills she learned starting her own catering business, she opened Curt’s Cafe, which teaches life skills through restaurant work and counseling to kids who have been in and out of the criminal-justice system.

The results have been astounding.

In her program, Trieschmann says only 2 percent of the more than 150 participants have been back behind bars, compared with a nearly 60 percent rate of return generally for juveniles who have gone through the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice.

The data show she’s onto something.

Extensive research demonstrates that one of the best predictors of whether someone will re-offend is whether he or she can find a decent job. But ex-offenders’ odds of finding a job are poor.

Survey data suggest as many as 60 to 75 percent of former offenders are unem-

Volkswagen owners will get a choice: a buyback or repairs

By SUDHIN THANAWALA and TOM KRISHER The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – The owners of nearly half a million polluting Volkswagens in the U.S. will have the option of selling them back to the company or getting them repaired at VW’s expense, under a deal announced Thursday by a federal judge.

The tentative agreement outlined

by Senior U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, however, left many questions unanswered, among them: How much can car owners expect in a buyback?

Will they be compensated for any reduced gas mileage and performance resulting from a repair? And how soon could the program start?

Breyer, who is presiding over a tangle of litigation created by the VW emissions cheating scandal, said the deal will include “substantial compensation” for owners. But he did not elaborate and warned attorneys in the case not to talk about the continuing negotiations, saying that could cause confusion among customers.

A person who was briefed on the matter but asked not to be identified because the deal had not been made public said Wednesday that Volkswagen would spend just over $1 billion to compensate owners. Elizabeth Cabraser, the lead attorney for hundreds of Volkswagen owners, disputed that figure Thursday but did not offer an estimate of her own.

Details of the agreement are expected to come out over the next couple of months. Breyer set a June 21 deadline

The amount of carbon dioxide emissions is written on a Volkswagen Passat Diesel on Sept. 22, 2015, at the Frankfurt Car Show in Frankfurt, Germany. for attorneys from the U.S. Justice Department and for Volkswagen owners to file additional paperwork about the agreement.

After that, owners will get the chance to comment before Breyer signs off on any deal.

The scandal erupted in September when it was learned that the German automaker had fitted many of its cars

with software to fool emissions tests and had put dirty vehicles on the road.

Car owners and the Justice Department sued.

“Although it is too soon to tell whether VW owners will be satisfied, and there are still other liabilities that must be addressed, this is the beginning of the end of the story,” said Michael Steel, an attorney in San Francis-

co who has advised car manufacturers.

Volkswagen owner Peggy Schaeffer, a North Carolina librarian with a diesel 2010 Jetta SportWagen, said she wanted VW to fix her car when she first heard about the scandal. But the more she hears about potential fixes, the more she prefers the idea of a buyback.

Experts say fixing older-model diesels will be complicated and costly and probably will cut their performance and fuel mileage – two main reasons customers bought them. Breyer did not say how the vehicles would be repaired – whether, for example, it would involve a software fix or new hardware.

Don Marron, a banker and self-described Volkswagen enthusiast from Allentown, Pennsylvania, who owns a diesel 2012 Jetta SportWagen, said he wants VW to offer him about $5,000 in compensation beyond the cost of any repair.

“If the fix turns it into a dog, or it gets 5 to 10 miles per gallon less than it did already, I’m not interested,” he said.

Volkswagen said in a statement after the hearing that the agreement is “an important step on the road to making things right.” The automaker said it “intends to compensate its customers fully and to remediate any impact on the environment from excess diesel emissions.”

The deal affects the owners of about 482,000 Volkswagens with 2-liter, four-cylinder diesel engines, most of them VW Jetta, Golf and Passat models dating back to the 2009 model year.

PHILADELPHIA – A former teen actress is appealing a ruling that threw out her defamation lawsuit against Bill Cosby that involves claims the actor drugged and molested her.

Renita Hill, 48, argues that Cosby and others defamed her when they challenged accusations made by Hill and other women who went public in 2014.

Cosby, his wife and lawyer made separate statements that painted the women as liars and extortionists, the lawsuit said. Hill argues that the Cosby camp knew the accusations were true.

Guitarist, singer Lonnie Mack dies at age 74

Britain’s Kate Duchess of Cambridge talks Friday with U.S. first lady Michelle Obama in the Drawing Room of Kensington Palace, London, before a private dinner hosted by Prince William and Kate.

Michelle Obama to appear on May episode of CBS’ ‘NCIS’ WASHINGTON – Michelle Obama is making a cameo appearance in support of military families on an upcoming episode of the CBS hit drama “NCIS.” The network says the episode, airing May 3, features the first lady welcoming NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, played by Mark Harmon, and the wife of a Marine to the White House for a “Joining Forces” discussion with military spouses.

Joining Forces is the nationwide initiative that Mrs. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden’s wife, Jill, launched in 2011 to support service members, veterans and their families.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Guitarist and singer Lonnie Mack, whose instrumental recordings influenced guitar players including Stevie Ray Vaughan, has died in Nashville, Tennessee. He was 74.

Alligator Records said in a statement that Mack died Thursday of natural causes. He lived in Smithville, Tennessee, about 65 miles east of Nashville.

Born Lonnie McIntosh in West Harrison, Indiana, Mack played sessions for record labels in Cincinnati with blues and R&B greats such as James Brown, Hank Ballard and Freddie King. His 1963 instrumental recording of Chuck Berry’s “Memphis” became a radio hit, and he followed that with “Wham!” – a tune that inspired the nickname “whammy bar” for the tremolo bar he had on his Gibson Flying V. His style was influenced by country music, like George Jones and Merle Travis, but also blues singers such as Bobby Bland.

Mack released several albums subsequently that weren’t as popular, but his career was re-energized when he and Vaughan co-produced his 1985 album “Strike Like Lightning.”

Judge sentences defendant, spends night in jail with him

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – A North Carolina judge sent a retired Special Forces sergeant to jail for violating probation – then spent the night in the cell with him.

News media outlets report Joe Serna, 41, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after three tours in Afghanistan, was diverted to Cumberland County Veterans Court after being charged with driving under the influence and other traffic offenses.

The court is designed to help troubled veterans avoid jail time and get the help they need. Serna was told to stay sober and return to the court every two weeks.

But when he appeared before Judge Lou Olivera, a Gulf War veteran, on April 12, Serna said he admitted that he had lied to the court and that his last urinalysis had been positive.

Olivera sentenced him to a night in jail and the next day drove him to nearby Lumberton to serve the time.

“When Joe first came to turn himself in, he was trembling,” Olivera said. “I decided that I’d spend the night serving with him.”

Italian furniture makers strengthen brands

By COLLEEN BARRY The Associated Press

MILAN – Big Italian furniture brands turned out collections at the 55th Milan Furniture Fair that included forgotten or neglected treasures from their archives, along with fresh innovations by the “starchitects” who have infused design with glamour.

A record 372,000 people attended the premier event for Italian design and furnishings this month. It featured more than 2,400 exhibitors at the Rho fairgrounds and spilled out into eight design districts in Milan’s city center.

The annual gathering highlights the prowess of Italy’s furniture manufacturing sector, which last year reported a 3 percent increase of revenues to nearly $28 billion.

Some highlights:

Gender bending

Patricia Urquiola, who was named Cassina’s new art director in September, is doing it all: launching her own designs while curating new works from colleagues, and updating the Italian brand’s iconic pieces ahead of its 90th anniversary next year.

Urquiola said she has brought a more feminine influence to the Cassina DNA, which “has always been very masculine, very architectural.”

She started with a new armchair called “Gender,” which she described as her “manifesto piece.” It combines a ridged, high-back form that embraces the occupant with a more cartilaginous, adjustable headrest and a fitted cushioned “dress.” The chair can be paired with an inverted U-shaped ottoman.

“I think it is time to stop the argument of gender. We need more blended gender,” she said.

For her debut collection, Urquiola also revisited a steel-supported table designed by Carlo Scarpa in 1968, making it from anodized aluminum in strong shades, including copper and matte red to lighten the impact. The table in the central Milan showroom featured a clear glass top, but it’s also available in white or black marble.

“Now the table is much lighter,” she said. “Evolution means to take care of things and make them new.”

The energetic Spaniard’s works also popped up at collateral design events, including a stained-glass credenza, cabinet and room divider trio commissioned

by Spazio Pontaccio.

Two armchairs are displayed at the Cassina space. chair popular in China for Poltrona Frau, as the Italian brand infuses its collection with a taste of the Orient.

While the Ming chair traditionally has been crafted from wood, the “Ming’s Heart” design for Poltrona Frau takes its European cues from the leather styling. The distinctive geometric back and seat are suspended from the tubular frame, creating the sensation of a swing.

“It gives the idea of floating in the air,” Shi-Chieh said.

The Ming chair is among a series of pieces commissioned by Asian designers this year that merge with Poltrona Frau’s iconic pieces and contemporary design.

“I think that Frau is recognizable beyond the fact of whether a designer is from Taiwan or from Milan, because identity is something you create through the construction, the way of working the leather and the stitching,” said Marco Romanelli, who is in charge of reviving the brand’s icons. “It is like saying the brand is strong enough to absorb the work of people who come from any part of the world.”

The essential chair

Leave it to Knoll to provide the essential chair update.

The U.S. brand has made some of the world’s most distinctive, enduring chair designs, including Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair. “The chair is an intricate question,” said Benjamin Pardo, Knoll’s design director, recalling the 70 series executive seating collection that marked the brand’s entry into the European market in the mid-20th

century.

Knoll’s latest entry to the world of side dining seating, designed by Marc Krusin, arches comfortably around the occupant and features a functional horizontal aperture between the seat and the back that is both appealing to the eye and allows for easing lifting.

Keeping the focus on seating, Piero Lissoni designed a new rail-based sofa system, a trend in the sector, allowing combinations of softer seating with tables on the same base. Dubbed “Avio,” the Knoll system evokes a sense of floating, and has the interior-design advantage of not being either left- or right-handed.

“It is intended to be a sofa that one can sit up and have a great conversation in, and also take a really great nap in,” Pardo said.

Crystal works

One of architect Zaha Hadid’s last design projects before her sudden death last month was a striking, curved, crystal statement piece for the Austrian crystal maker Swarovski.

Titled “Crista,” the massive crystal and metallic flutes splay out of a central point like arching reeds, utilizing for the first time Swarovski’s new wave cut technology. The work anchored Swarovski’s debut home collection, which also featured a collection of brightly reflecting trays, centerpieces and bowls by Spaniard Tomas Alonso, and candle holders with refracting crystal wax catchers by Kim Thome of Norway.

Hadid’s creativity lived on else-

where at the Milan design fair, with a prototype cubed low-back armchair for Cassina and curving, black granite wall shelves for Italian brand Citco.

Heroic accents

As with his runway designs, Tomas Maier took inspiration from materials for Bottega Veneta’s latest home collection, with heroic bronze accents.

The bronze base of round, arched coffee tables provided a fitting thematic counterpoint to frescoes of fierce war scenes in the living room of the brand’s 18th century palazzo showroom. They were harmonized with velvet seating.

Bottega Veneta launched its home line in 2006, and as with other design houses, it is a growing part of the portfolio. This year’s collection featured updates on tableware, including porcelain dishes and flatware imprinted with Bottega’s distinguishing weave pattern.

“I think when one has an aesthetic point of view and a sensibility about materials and color and shape – and that can be in a handbag, that can be in a garment, that can be in a shoe, that can be in a lot of things – we also then have a sensibility for interiors and interior furnishings,” Maier said. “So I am talking to a client that is already my client.”

Maier also finds cross-overs from his ready-to-wear looks. A leopard pattern on a chair appeared on the runway last season, while platinum boxes with semi-precious stone was inspired by Bottega Veneta’s stone-inlaid sterling silver jewelry.

Bees aren’t the only pollinators suffering from a massive North American die-off. Butterflies and moths, those flying flowers of the insect world, are disappearing, too.

“But the situation isn’t hopeless,” said Scott Hoffman Black, executive An Eastern Tiger director of the Xerces Society for Swallowtail butterfly Invertebrate Conservation, in Portperches on some land, Oregon. “Anybody – gardeners Creeping Phlox, a or butterfly lovers – can make an oasis ground cover. in their landscape for these important animals.

development,” Lewis said. “But it is our goal.”

Nurture, enrich and diversify your home habitat, entomologists say.

Planting pollinator gardens that emphasize nectar plants that bloom yearround for bees, wasps and other wildlife is a good first step. Butterfly gardens take that a stage further by adding host plants suitable for hungry caterpillars.

“Since butterfly larvae are picky eaters, it takes a variety of food plants,” Lewis said.

Butterfly gardens should be located where they’ll get at least six hours of sun a day. They should contain at least four annual, biennial or perennial nectar plant species, and at least 10 milkweed plants of two or more types.

Ironically, beware the invasive butterfly bush, which has been listed as a noxious weed in several states. And think twice about the mass release of butterflies.

“Xerces is taking a stand that we should not be moving or releasing butterflies for such things as weddings, out of a concern for possible diseases,” Black said. “We have a sense that the same issues that are happening with bees are happening with butterflies.”

Conditions cause painful urination Dear Dr. K: I’m a woman in my 50s, and every so often it is painful for several days when I urinate. The doctor tests me, says I don’t have a urinary tract infection, and that there’s nothing to do. It’s true that it goes away, but I’d like some relief when it hurts. Is there anything I can do?

Dear Reader: Urinary tract infections are a common cause of painful urination, but there are other causes as well. And those other causes can be treated. Here’s what you need to know before you talk again to your doctor.

There are three different types of common urinary tract infections, involving three different parts of the urinary tract.

• Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra. The urethra is the short tube that goes from the bladder to the outside world.

Urethritis can be caused by the bacteria that produce the other two types of urinary tract infections. It also can be the result of organisms that cause several sexually transmitted diseases, or by irritating chemicals (such as bubble bath or spermicides).

Be sure your doctor tested for the sexually transmitted diseases.

• A bladder infection (cystitis) often is caused by bacteria that live around the opening of the urethra, then travel through the urethra to the bladder. The bladder stores urine that has been made by the kidneys, then eliminates it during urination. Sometimes, bacteria travel up into the bladder without any clear cause. More often, this happens after sex, because sex tends to push the bacteria back up into the bladder.

There is a widely held belief women and girls who wipe with toilet tissue from back to front after a bowel movement can can push bacteria up into the bladder. However, I once did a study that did not confirm this belief.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • Kidney infection. Sometimes bacteria travel all the way up the urinary tract, into the kidneys, through long tubes called ureters. The symptoms of a kidney infection, in contrast to a bladder infection, include fever, pain in the side of the back, nausea, shaking, chills and sometimes low blood pressure. Kidney infections always need urgent medical attention.

A urine culture test commonly is used to diagnose these three types of urinary tract infections. Many doctors were taught a bacterial infection is not present if fewer than 100,000 bacteria are found in each milliliter of urine. However, newer research finds an infection is likely if as few as 100 bacteria are found in each milliliter. You might check with your doctor on the results of your urine culture.

Another type of condition also can cause pain on urination: vaginitis, an inflammation of the vagina. Often it is caused by bacterial, yeast or trichomonas infections.

Usually vaginitis produces discharge from the vagina, but sometimes it just causes pain with urination. It also can be the result of irritating chemicals (spermicide, douche, bath soap), irritation from tampons or low levels of estrogen after menopause.

So if your doctor did not do a pelvic examination to look for vaginitis as a cause of your painful urination, you might suggest that.

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

the behavior they want from their children.

Sometimes it’s difficult not to react and say something impulsive (rude), but that doesn’t mean parents – and teenagers – shouldn’t make every effort to be polite.

A step in the right direction would be to say, “When you do that, it makes me feel ...”

Try it, and you may get a better reaction from your mom and dad.

Dear Abby: My son is 8 and lost his dad a year ago. His dad was never very involved in his life, even though our son begged for his attention. His dad’s sister, “Jillian,” is a children’s coach and very tough and hardcore. She has tried to have a relationship with my son, but he is pulling away from her and doesn’t want to do anything with her.

When she asks to do something with him, he refuses. I have tried to prevent friction by telling her we already have plans. It finally came to a head when she accused me of trying to keep him from his dad’s family. When I told her the truth, that her personality is too strong for my son, she replied that it’s not a good enough reason.

Jillian is an alcoholic. She drinks no matter what time of day it is, so I’m OK with the idea my son doesn’t want to go anywhere with her. How do I handle this? – Trying To

Phillips My parents and I (more my mom and I) have struggled with the topic of “respect” for a long time. We had a discussion about this earlier today ,and it led to arguing and tears.

She constantly says, “To earn respect, you must give it,” and I agree 100 percent. The problem is, she doesn’t believe she and Dad should live by that – just me. She feels that no matter how upset or annoyed I might get by something rude she or Dad says, I don’t have the right to talk back.

What upsets me is they talk rude to me all the time. How can you expect your kid not to do something when they do it as parents all the time? Do parents have the right to talk rude if they want and expect their kids to be perfect little angels? Please help. – Needs

McHenry Estate Sale 34739 Nokomis Trail In Pistaqua Heights

Bartlett Estate Sale FRI & SAT

Asbury Place 394 Broadmoor Lane DeWalt Tools, BR, LR & FR Furniture

William Shakespeare wrote in King Henry VI, Part III, “Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind; the thief doth fear each bush an officer.”

A declarer who goes down in a makable contract will be haunted with a guilty mind, in particular regretting that he let down his partner.

In the future, he maybe doth fear each trump suit will break badly -- as they have over the last couple of days.

In this example, how should South try to end the deal in a happy frame of mind? He is in four hearts, and West leads the spade king.

South starts by counting the losers in his hand. Here, he has one spade, two diamonds, one club and zero, one or two hearts. Next, he checks winners. He should see one spade, three hearts, one diamond, two clubs and one club ruff in the dummy -eight. So, if hearts are breaking 3-2, there will be no problems. But what if they are 4-1?

Then declarer will have to score some extra trump tricks by ruffing in his hand.

There are a few sequences that work in this deal, but a straightforward approach is to duck the first trick, take the second spade with the ace, cash the heart ace, and play a trump to dummy’s king. When the bad break is revealed, South ruffs a spade in his hand, plays a club to the king, leads a club to his ace, and ruffs a club on the board. Then declarer leads dummy’s last spade. How does East defend?

If he discards, South ruffs low, and cashes the heart queen and diamond ace. Or, if East ruffs, South discards one of his diamond losers. Either way, he gets home.

joestevenson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – For the better part of a decade, Huntley’s girls were close to the McHenry County Track and Field title, only to have first Crystal Lake South, then Cary-Grove standing in the way.

Red Raiders coach Shawn Nordeen remembers losing by three-quarters of a point a few years ago and figures their second-place finishes number in double digits.

There was no denying Huntley on Friday night at its own Red Raider Stadium. The Raiders showed depth, won three of four relays and grabbed their first county title in school history.

Huntley finished with 128 points, 20 ahead of six-time champ C-G in second place. McHenry was third with 98.

“We had a lot of girls score more points than we thought we would get,” Nordeen said. “We probably lost about 80 points from last year (to graduation). We knew (as coaches) we had a lot of instructing to do with this group.

There were a lot of learning curves, so for us this is nice to see.”

The Raiders started the night with Kate Mitchell, Chloe Smith, Kiera Daly and Mary Raclawski setting a meet record at 9:42.9 in the 4x800-meter relay.

“It was awesome, we all did amazing,” Mitchell said. “Especially to see a freshman like Mary step it up in the anchor leg. We needed to trust each other and know our plan and what we were going to do.”

Sophomore Cassidy Lackovic then anchored the Raiders’ winning 4x100 team with Nicole Zielinski, Alex Hand-

chetz and Alyssa Bushman. The Raiders finished the meet with a win in the 4x400 with Bushman, Ola Oladipo, Daly and Mitchell running.

Crystal Lake South’s Caitlin Bruzzini won the 3,200 and 1,600 races.

South’s Cailey Ciezadlo won the 200 and anchored the Gators’ winning 4x200 team with Courtney Wosik, Naomi Daniel and Mallory Ellers.

Woodstock had two champs in senior Grace Beattie (800) and freshman Syd Heidtke (300 low hurdles). Beattie, who will run at Illinois State, has had a breakthrough season as a senior.

“I’m in better shape than I’ve ever been,” she said. “I didn’t play basketball this winter. I needed to focus on one sport. I thought I’d focus on the 800; I’ve always done the 300 hurdles since I was a freshman.”

Genoa-Kingston starting pitcher Brady Huffman, an Illinois State signee, threw 167 pitches Thursday against Burlington Central. That’s after throwing 31 in two innings Monday, a full game with 19 strikeouts two days earlier Saturday and 118 pitches the Tuesday before, making four outings in a 10-day stretch.

Tweets

As for that kid @McHenryCoSports mentioned ... – @KeithLaw (national baseball writer)

I spoke to the athletic director at Genoa-Kingston HS, for whom Brady Huffman threw 167 pitches last night. The AD said that pitch count may not be accurate, although Huffman did pitch into extra innings. He said that Huffman did not lose any velocity or suffer any visible change in mechanics, and the coaching staff pulled him with the game still tied because they felt that he had pitched enough and didn’t want to push him too far.

Huffman spoke to him today and reported no pain or unusual soreness, and was unhappy about the negative attention his outing has brought to the school. The AD said they have no district guidelines on pitch counts or workloads, and that he had no issue with how Huffman was used, but if a pitcher were used improperly and injured as a result of coaching decisions there would be ramifications for the coaches involved.

Huntley does it again

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Huntley’s Keagan Smith may have found a new race.

The Red Raiders senior has excelled for a long time in the 1,600 meters, but found half that distance may fit him even better.

Smith ran a leg of the Raiders’ 4x800 relay, which set a meet record, then came back and also broke the 800 meters record at the McHenry County Track and Field Meet on Friday at

Huntley’s Red Raider Stadium.

Smith’s 1:55.75 wiped out the meet’s oldest record, a 1:56.6 set by Crystal Lake Community’s John Enright in 1973.

Huntley ran away with its fifth consecutive team title, scoring 1771/2 points. Jacobs (88), Crystal Lake South (80) and McHenry (70) were next in line.

“I’m not sure,” Smith said when asked if the 800 might his race. “We’ll see. I definitely hope to take a shot at the 1,600 a few more times. I haven’t been able to get comfortable in that

race. The pacing’s been all off.”

Smith teamed with Seth Conroy, Mike Grocholski and Zach Hollman to win the 4x800 in a meet-record 7:57.06.

Smith also anchored the Raiders’ winning 4x400 team with Trevor Dell’Aquilla, Brendan O’Donnell and Ben Stevens.

“For tonight, it was his race,” Raiders coach Jim Rolando said. “We knew he could sprint, and he’s had a little ‘mind’ thing with the [1,600]. Two meet

The Chargers’ Danny Denz has had a pretty good week. Since Saturday, Denz has thrown 14 scoreless innings and given up just five hits, three walks, and struck out 28 batters. The Memphis recruit picked up two victories and a save over that span.

CL South hitless until 5th inning

By TIM SIECK

sports@nwherald.com CARPENTERSVILLE – DundeeCrown’s Danny Denz has had a pretty remarkable high school career, but Friday the Chargers’ ace didn’t know what to expect. Denz was facing a red-hot Crystal Lake South team that had won 13 of 14, and the senior had been sick with a cold the past few days.

“I went out there and did my best today even though I didn’t feel good most of the day,” Denz said. “There was no way I was going to miss a start against a tough team like South.”

Denz not only took the ball on his day

to pitch but was almost unhittable as the Chargers jumped out to an early lead, and Denz did the rest to help lead D-C to a 5-1 victory in a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division matchup at DundeeCrown High School.

The Memphis-bound Denz had his pitches working early, striking out the first four batters. South (13-2, 4-2 FVC Valley) didn’t get a hit off Denz until the fifth inning and had only two hits off the left-hander in his six innings. Denz finished with 11 strikeouts and a walk.

“I threw strikes today and was aggressive with my pitches and missed their bats,” Denz said. “My defense backed me up today as well. South is a good team with just one loss coming in, but we came ready to play. We really wanted this game.”

The Chargers (11-5, 6-0) sent eight batters to the plate in the first inning and were able to score four runs on five D-C

singles. The Chargers also were aided by two South errors. The big blow for D-C in the inning was a two-run single by Erik Hedmark.

“We came out ready to play, and that was pretty evident in the first inning,” D-C coach Jon Anderson said. “The guys knew this was a big game and were pretty pumped up. We did all the little things and really emphasized the team aspect.

This was a team win.”

Keeton Ryza was the tough-luck losing pitcher for South. Ryza gave up four runs in the first inning, but only two were earned and not many balls were hit hard. The junior gave up only one more run in his final three innings.

“We didn’t want to fall behind against a pitcher like Danny Denz,” South coach Brian Bogda said. “We made a few mistakes in the first inning that really hurt us. Hopefully, this is a game we can learn from.”

MARIAN CENTRAL ATHLETICS

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Marian Central athletic director Drew Potthoff will not return for the 2016-17 school year, according to a newsletter sent to parents and alumni from superintendent Andy Edmondson on Friday.

In the newsletter, Edmondson thanked Potthoff for his years of service and said he would not return as AD.

Potthoff, who is finishing his third year at Marian, hopes his time at the school in Woodstock is not yet done.

“All I can say is that there’s more to this than that and that I look forward to the opportunity when I can Drew Potthoff talk more about it,” Potthoff said.

Crystal Lake Central junior Cole Barkocy was the only double individual winner Friday with firsts in the 3,200 and 1,600.

“I’m very happy with my races,” Barkocy said. “In the 3,200, I knew it would be tough with (Woodstock’s Luke) Beattie and (Prairie Ridge’s) Filip (Pajak). I definitely thought the 1,600 would be tougher after that. I’m happy I PR’d in that race.”

Sox pull off triple play in win over Rangers

By MIKE CRANSTON

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Adam Eaton got a good jump on the liner down the right field line with the bases loaded and saw Ian Desmond break off first base. Eaton knew he had a chance for a double play even before he made the running catch.

When he saw the possibility of the first White Sox triple play in nearly 10 years, he sprinted to the pitcher’s mound, just in case his teammates needed help.

It took six players to pull off the first triple play in the majors this season, preserving Jose Quintana’s scoreless outing in a 5-0 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday night.

“Besides marrying my wife and the birth of my kid, that’s high up there,” Eaton said, smiling. “I’ve never had that much fun on a ballfield.”

Quintana retired 11 straight through six innings until he loaded the bases on Prince Fielder’s double, Adrian Beltre’s single and a walk. Mitch Moreland drilled a ball down the right field line that started one of the oddest triple plays.

Eaton threw to first, where Jose Abreu eventually tagged the dancing Desmond in foul territory.

White Sox players celebrate after converting a triple play with the bases loaded Friday during the seventh inning against the Texas Rangers at U.S. Cellular Field.

Abreu then threw home from his knees, but catcher Dioner Navarro saw Beltre caught between second and third and fired to shortstop Tyler Saladino.

That’s when Saladino saw Fielder break from third. He fired back home, and third baseman Todd Frazier eventually tagged Fielder in the rundown.

Score that 9-3-2-6-2-5, the first Sox triple play since Sept. 18, 2006, against Detroit.

Abreu raced to clubhouse to watch the replay after the game.

“What a rush,” Quintana said. “I was yelling, ‘throw the ball to second.’

It was fun. I’ve never seen that before.”

Quintana (2-1) allowed just four hits

over seven innings to help snap the Rangers’ four-game winning streak.

Brett Lawrie had a two-run double in a three-run sixth off Rangers starter Martin Perez (0-2).

It was the first nonquality start of the season for Perez, but he got no help from an offense that had 13 hits in six innings against Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel a day earlier.

Eaton also singled and doubled, scoring on Abreu’s third-inning sacrifice fly on a chilly night with the wind blowing in.

Matt Albers extended his scoreless streak to 31 innings and Zach Putnam pitched the ninth to finish the five-hitter.

It was the first time Texas got caught in a triple play since June 1, 1991.

“He hit the hell out of it and I thought it was getting down and I broke,” Fielder said. “Once I broke, there was no way I can get back and go so I just messed it up.”

Delino DeShields was picked off first base in the first inning, his third running mistake in three games.

“A lot of mistakes,” Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. “I think all the runners on that play, we were screwed up. Just awful base running by everybody.”

Ventura sees no frustration from Abreu

By JEFF ARNOLD

For The Sun-Times

CHICAGO – If White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu is frustrated while fighting through some early-season struggles, manager Robin Ventura doesn’t see it – at least outwardly.

Heading into Friday’s game against Texas, Abreu was hitting .190 with 18 strikeouts and three home runs while collecting only two hits in his previous seven games.

Being selective has been an issue for the slugger. Although Abreu said this week he is working to improve in that regard while seeing mainly a steady diet of fastballs, finding his normal groove remains a work in progress.

While that happens, Ventura said Friday Abreu’s demeanor hasn’t changed and that Abreu is treating the slump as an anomaly. Abreu has taken extra batting practice during which he tinkers with his small things, hoping he can turn things around sooner.

But Ventura said Abreu can tend to

ing right. In the meantime, Ventura isn’t concerned, knowing Abreu has the right mental approach.

Texas Chicago ab r h bi ab r h bi “His attitude has always been great DShlds cf 3 0 0 0 Eaton rf 4 1 2 0 Andrus ss 4 0 0 0 AJcksn cf 3 0 1 0 and that’s the thing that’s going to carry Fielder dh 4 0 2 0 Abreu 1b 3 0 0 1 him, whether he goes through a slump Beltre 3b 4 0 2 0 Frazier 3b 2 1 0 0 Dsmnd lf 2 0 0 0 MeCarr lf 4 2 2 0 or whether he doesn’t,” Ventura said beMorlnd 1b 3 0 0 0 Lawrie 2b 3 1 1 2 Rua rf 3 0 0 0 Sands dh 3 0 1 1 fore Friday’s game. “He’s been through Odor 2b 3 0 0 0 Navarr c 4 0 0 0 a slump, not like this part, be he’s been Holady c 3 0 1 0 Saladin ss 3 0 0 0 Totals 29 0 5 0 Totals 29 5 7 4 through stuff where he’s been able to Texas 000 000 000 — 0 bounce out of it.”

WHITE SOX 5, RANGERS 0

Mutual Admiration Society: Ventura exchanged text messages with Cubs catcher David Ross on Thursday night after Ross caught Jake Arrieta’s no-hitter against the Reds. Ventura and Ross were teammates with the Dodgers in 2003 and 2004. Ventura wouldn’t divulge the nature of the texts, claiming Ross has too much of a “foul mouth”.

But Ventura can appreciate the reserve role Ross has embraced on the North Side during his final season.

“There’s a lot of things that make him valuable, but you can’t just sit there and pinpoint what somebody else will say, that guy’s going to be the guy, because there’s something about his personality that makes him that way and makes that individual special,” Ventura said. “You can’t just automatically grab somebody and make them do it.”

Garcia sits: Struggling designated hitter Avisail Garcia sat for the second time in three games. Ventura used Jerry Sands in the role Friday, saying he preferred the matchup with Rangers lefthander Martin Perez.

0.86 ERA in past 24 starts unprecedented

Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta celebrates with catcher David Ross after the final out of his no-hitter against the Reds on Thursday in Cincinnati. say that, that puts everything in the most elite class.”

Arrieta showed that much again Thursday when he battled command problems early and still pitched a no-hitter against the Reds – his second no-hitter in eight months, with only nine regular-season starts between the two.

“It’s crazy, man, what he’s done,” Maddon said.

Crazy. Historic.

Predictable?

“I envisioned pitching like this, even when I had a 5.00 (ERA) in Baltimore,” said Arrieta, whose no-hitter Thursday fell on the third anniversary of a rough

start for the Orioles that typified his struggles there.

The next day, he was demoted to the minors, one of the moves that precipitated his eventual trade that summer to the Cubs, along with Pedro Strop, for Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger.

“Even then I had visualizations of throwing no-hitters, or throwing shutouts. Now it’s starting to happen for me, and I don’t take any of it for granted.”

The Cubs certainly don’t. If anyone doubted it before Thursday, Arrieta continued to prove he’s the most indispensable player on the Cubs’ roster as they chase their October expectations.

Lester strong; pitching staff No. 1

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

CINCINNATI – Cubs pitching coach Chris Bosio predicted three no-hitters this season. And he wasn’t just talking about Jake Arrieta – whose no-hitter Thursday was the buzz around the Cubs all day Friday.

“Any given night, any one of these guys can do it,” Bosio said. “They’ve shown the ability to take over the game, and with the defense the way we’re playing, who knows? Maybe that number’s correct. Or maybe the number’s higher.

I don’t know.”

Jon Lester, who pitched a no-hitter eight years ago, ended any potential no-hitter tension quickly during his start Friday, giving up a single to the

third batter he faced.

But the left-hander the Cubs signed for $155 million before last season to start the buildup toward contention backed up Bosio’s larger point that his staff is more than a one-man History Channel show.

In fact, it’s the top-ranked staff in the majors – its ERA dropping to 2.08 after Friday’s 8-1 victory behind Lester’s impressive seven innings.

“We’re talking about the hitting a lot, but the pitching has really been there every night,” manager Joe Maddon said.

The Cubs didn’t have a no-hitter to revel in, or any fans jumping from the stands to join their postgame bash on the infield, or a pizza celebration in Dexter Fowler’s hotel suite like they had the night before.

They had to settle for this: Their fourth victory in five games so far on this two-city road trip and the best start in the majors so far at 13-3.

“We’ve grown as a club,” said Bosio, in his fifth season with the Cubs. “We know what’s at stake. We got a taste of it last year. … And we want to get it right.”

Friday, the Cubs hit two more home runs, including one by Anthony Rizzo in his third consecutive game. David Ross and Jon Lester drove home runs with back-to-back safety squeeze bunts in the fourth.

Note: The afternoon after he threw a season-high 119 pitches Thursday, Arrieta said, “I’ve felt worse on less pitches before. My body feels great. I don’t feel like I’m putting near the stress on my body as I used to.”

CINCINNATI – Jake Arrieta doesn’t often miss when it matters.

But he knows he missed a big chance this week when he let Bob Gibson walk Tuesday in St. Louis – two days before Arrieta made more history with another no-hitter.

Gibson, the Hall of Fame pitcher credited with the most dominant pitching season in history, visited before Tuesday’s game with manager Joe Maddon in the Cubs’ dugout.

But Arrieta wasn’t there, just missing a chance to meet the man he has bumped into constantly in the record books for much of the past year.

“I need to,” Arrieta said. “I’ve got to get a picture with him.”

He’ll have to settle for this snapshot for now: Not even Gibson – not even during the 1968 season he set the record with a 1.12 ERA – had a 24-game stretch in which he had an ERA as low as Arrieta’s 0.86 over the past 24 starts.

“That’s all the historical perspective I need,” said Maddon, whose favorite player as a kid was Gibson. “When you

Arrieta was considered by Cubs officials at the time of the trade as the secondary acquisition to Strop, a starter with terrific stuff but a spotty enough background for doing anything with it that one insider said it would be a bonus to the trade if he eventually became a productive starter for the club.

Two years later, he won a Cy Young Award, set ERA records with his dominant finish last season and became the single biggest reason the Cubs look at the 2016-17 window as their greatest foreseeable shot at a championship.

Arrieta, who balked over contract length during discussions in recent months on a possible extension, is eligible for free agency after next season.

“Every Cy Young Award winner I know gets a seven-year contract,” his agent, Scott Boras, said during the opening series of the season. Boras last year compared Arrieta to $210 million free agent Max Scherzer.

Whatever happens next between Arrieta and the Cubs’ front office, his relationship to this team’s efforts are as aligned with the urgency of now as everything else going on with a Cubs team that is already off to the best start in the majors.

In fact, he’s not sure he’s done throwing no-hitters, even this year.

Teammate Jason Hammel tweeted that “if my math is right we should expect another no-no from [Arrieta] middle of June, right?”

Said Arrieta: “It’s tough. So many things have to go right. But I think I’ll have my opportunity again.”

12 WESTERN CONFERENCE FIRST ROUND: GAME 6, ST. LOUIS AT BLACKHAWKS, 7 P.M. SATURDAY, NBC (BLUES LEAD SERIES, 3-2)

Hawks can lean on experience

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The best team is winning the Blackhawks-Blues series so far. But with the pressure on both teams ramped up after the Hawks staved off elimination with a 4-3 double-overtime victory in Game 5, the Hawks might finally have an advantage that can make a difference: They’ve been here before. The Blues have not.

“There’s no doubt that the longer this series goes, the more pressure will be on that team,” Hawks captain Jonathan Toews said Friday. “But they’re as hungry as ever. I don’t think if you ask any of them, they’ll say that any of that matters. It’s focusing on what we know we can do. It’s not worrying bout anything behind [Saturday] night.”

The Blues still are favorites to win the series, with a 3-2 series lead heading into Game 6 Saturday night at the United Center. They’ve won twice at the UC already in this series and have Game 7 in their pocket if they lose.

On the other hand, with their 4-3 double-overtime victory in Game 5, the Hawks might have planted a seed of doubt in a team that has little history of postseason success and has to know the Hawks are fully capable of taking advantage of any lapse. Former Hawk Troy Brouwer is the only

Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews looks around during Game 4 of a first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday at the United Center. The Hawks trail in the series, 3-2, entering Saturday’s Game 6 at home.

Blues player who has won the Stanley Cup. Many of his teammates played on Blues teams that have lost in the first round the previous three years.

There’s no doubt the Blues have the skill, depth and fortitude to close out the Hawks. But after losing at home in overtime – after missing several chances for a series-clinching goal –

they will have to summon the same resolve that has made the Hawks the champions they are to finish the job.

And Game 7 on home ice isn’t the safety net it used to be. Road teams are 2421 (.533) in Game 7s in the salary-cap era (2006-15).

“I think the [Blues] had a lot of pressure to make it past the first round,”

defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said.

“I think they’re feeling the pressure, but we just have to take it one game at a time and we’ve got to bring a better game than we’ve done here at home.”

The Hawks’ experience is their best suit at this point. They are 12-4 in elimination games under Joel Quenneville, including 8-1 in the past four seasons. They also are 14-1 in Game 6s under Quenneville, including 8-0 since 2013.

“We love to play these kinds of games,” Hjalmarsson said. “We have a lot of players that have been a part of it before and [are] very comfortable with playing these types of games.”

But as Toews noted, the Hawks can’t count on experience alone to get the job done. The Blues still are a veteran team with strong-willed players such as David Backes, Kevin Shattenkirk and Brouwer and a coach in Ken Hitchcock who has won the Stanley Cup (with Dallas in 1999) and knows exactly what he is up against. The Hawks are unlikely to will their way to victory against the Blues.

“We have to play better here at home,” Hjalmarsson said. “The last two games we weren’t too happy with the way we played. We’ve been playing some decent hockey, but I still feel we have one more level. We just have to dig a little bit deeper and we have another level that we have to reach if we want to go past this round.”

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Blues wary of Shaw’s return for Game 6

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Before his ill-timed penalty and inexcusable outburst that cut short the Blackhawks’ third-period push in Game 4 and earned him a suspension for Game 5, Andrew Shaw had been one of the most effective players in the firstround series against St. Louis.

Shaw had two goals and two assists in the first four games by doing what he does better than just about anyone else on the Hawks – forecheck in the corners, win board battles and crash the net.

“To be honest, he’s been one of their better forwards all series,” Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk said. “What he brings, in playoff time especially, is that grit. He’s not afraid to go to the net and work for his second chances. Obviously, he’s someone who can get under

your skin, but people don’t realize how good of a player he is. He’s quick in the corners, he’s hard to pin and stop, and he’s someone who’s obviously a big energy guy for them.”

And he’ll be back for Game 6 on Saturday, surely looking to make up for lost time.

“Shawzie brings an incredible amount of competitiveness and will, and we’ve talked about the intangibles he brings to the lineup,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “He’s got a lot of knowhow of where to be successful, how to score in our league.”

Where Shaw fits in the lineup remains to be seen. Dale Weise had some good moments in limited action in Game 5 (he played 9:35, a team-low among forwards in the double-overtime win), so Brandon Mashinter likely will come out of the lineup. Shaw started the series on

the fourth line, then moved up to the top line for Game 4, where he posted a goal and two assists.

But the new-look top line of Richard Panik, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane could be here to stay, and the third line of Andrew Ladd, Marcus Kruger and Marian Hossa managed to shut down Vladimir Tarasenko. So Shaw likely will find himself with new linemates in Game 6.

Panik attack: Panik was noticeable all game Thursday. His seven shot attempts (including two golden chances on which he missed the net) were second only to Marian Hossa’s 10. Panik also added six hits while getting the coveted chance to play with Toews and Kane. It’s quite a step up for a guy who couldn’t crack the lowly Toronto Maple Leafs’ roster all season before being traded for Jeremy Morin.

“Obviously, they’re really good players,” Panik said. “You don’t want to think too much about it, that you’re playing with those guys. My main goal was to play my game, play simple, and I think [Thursday] night worked out pretty good.”

Easy Weezy: Weise expected to play a much larger role after being acquired from Montreal at the trade deadline, and hasn’t hid his frustration. But after being a healthy scratch for Games 1, 2 and 4, he was glad simply to be in uniform for Game 5.

“I’m just happy to be a part of it right now,” he said. “I’m not really too concerned with how many minutes I’m playing, or how many minutes I’m not playing. I’m a very confident guy, and I’m very confident in my abilities. So when I get the opportunities, I know I can make the most of them.”

Commish says Foley ‘didn’t have his facts straight’

By CHRIS De LUCA

The Blues’ Paul Stastny skates away as Blackhawks players celebrate in the background after Patrick Kane scored the winning goal in the second overtime in Game 5 of a firstround playoff series in St. Louis. The game ended after midnight early Friday. concept, but up until this deal with NBC, nationally in the U.S., we didn’t have all of our playoff games on national television. To get them all on television to a national audience, you have to stagger the times. And sometimes the geography requires you do that.”

Still, it was odd to hear an announcer rip the league with so much passion.

Here’s what Foley said late in the game Thursday: “I can say with certainty: Players cannot stand these late starts. Coaches cannot stand them. Most importantly, the fans can’t stand them. So as we approach midnight Eastern – again – on a work night, a school night, a simple question:

An 8:42 puck drop serves ... who?”

That prompted NBC Sports analyst Mike Milbury to fire back on the netw0rk: “You know what? If that’s too late for certain announcers, I think they should just let someone else call the game, and stay home and get a good night’s rest.”

Is everyone ready to drop the gloves?

Bettman shrugged.

“The clubs – and I spoke to John McDonough this morning – and [the clubs say]: ‘We’ll play at midnight, if you want.’ We are not going to be playing at midnight,” Bettman said. “The point is, I think Mr. Foley didn’t have his facts straight. I know there are lots of peo-

NBA PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

Isles top Panthers in 2nd OT Cavs up 3-0 on Pistons The ASSOCIATED PRESS SUNRISE, Fla. – Alan Quine’s power-play goal at exactly 16 minutes of the second overtime gave the New York Islanders a 2-1 victory over the Florida Panthers early Saturday in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series.

Thomas Greiss stopped 47 shots for the Islanders. They lead the series 3-2 and can wrap it up with a win in Game 6 on Sunday in New York.

Roberto Luongo made 40 saves for Florida, which missed a penalty shot in the first overtime and was whistled for two penalties in the second overtime. The game ended at 12:16 a.m.

The Islanders’ second overtime power play came when Derek Mackenzie was called for slashing at 14:31, and that would be the break

New York finally needed. Quine’s blast from the right side beat Luongo, and the Islanders swarmed the ice in celebration.

Flyers 2, Capitals 0: At Washington, Michal Neuvirth made a playoff career-high 44 saves, and Philadelphia beat Washington in Game 5 to stay alive in the first-round series.

Neuvirth was dominant, carrying the team on his shoulders and blunting Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals’ every charge to cut the series deficit to 3-2 and send it back to Philadelphia for Game 6 on Sunday.

Ryan White scored the lone goal for the Flyers against Braden Holtby, with the puck deflecting in off Washington defenseman Taylor Chorney and past the goalie.

Chris VandeVelde added an empty-netter.

The Cavs lead the series 3-0, with Game 4 on Sunday.

Celtics 111, Hawks 103: At Boston, Isaiah Thomas scored a career-high 42 points, and Boston held on to beat Atlanta in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round series.Evan Turner, inserted into the starting lineup, had 17 points and seven assists, as the Celtics closed to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

NEW YORK – Maintaining his image of keeping a tight grip on the Blackhawks’ public image, team president John McDonough called NHL commission Gary Bettman on Friday morning to apologize for TV analyst Pat Foley’s rant Thursday night about 8:30 p.m. puck drops.

“He was not happy with what was said and he wanted me to know Pat Foley that,” Bettman said during a meeting with the Associated Press Sports Editors. “I said I didn’t view that as a Blackhawks issue. That was a [Comcast SportsNet] issue and I didn’t think from his standpoint that any apology was necessary.”

Hearing that fans and players have – at least privately – groused about the starts, Bettman offered no apologies.

“Not that it makes it right or wrong, but when it comes to these things, we actually play earlier than the other leagues do,” Bettman said. “We don’t do 9 o’clock starts, even in the Stanley Cup Final. We are trying to distribute all of our games nationally.

“That may sound like an unusual

ple who don’t agree with him. But we are trying to make the most number of games available to the most number of people.

“Historically, it’s something we didn’t get the opportunity to do. It’s a good problem to have.”

What did Foley get wrong?

“That everybody hates it,” Bettman said. “It was, I think, off the mark. I’m not going to get into a public debate with Mr. Foley. But the fact is, the club is perfectly comfortable with the scheduling of the time.

“We try to move it around. We try not to pinpoint one team. We try to make it fair among all the Central teams.”

Three 8:30 p.m. starts were scheduled for this series: Two in St. Louis, one in Chicago.

“The clubs buy into the overall goal,” deputy commissioner Bill Daley said.

“It’s not ideal for them, obviously, they want to be as fan-friendly as they can be to their own fans. But they understand the obligations we have and the broader goal we have to build a national audience.

Added Bettman: “And if we put all of the games on at the same time, I guarantee you we would be criticized for that.”

Bettman also discussed the thinking behind making Chicago home to the 2017 NHL draft.

“It’s more the success of the Blackhawks,” Bettman said. “They have been terrific partners. Ask them to play host to an outdoor game, they say: ‘Great.’

Ask them to participate as the visiting team, they say: ‘Just tell us where to show up.’ Ask John McDonough to start at a certain time, he says: ‘No problem.’ “ Bettman was laughing.

NASCAR, clueless chair France bumble again So much for trying to be inclusive, NASCAR. At a time when other sports are leading the charge toward a brighter social future, the good ol’ boys seem intent on returning us to a more divisive era.

Might as well bring back those Confederate flags, while they’re at it.

NASCAR has been on quite a roll – from blacks-were-so-happy-during-segregation revisionist Phil Robertson delivering a political endorsement posing as prayer before a Texas race, to Tony Stewart being fined $35,000 for having the gall to question whether the governing body cared about the possibility of a tire flying into the crowd – and bumbling Chairman Brian France is taking the sport to Brian France entirely new depths.

While not at all hesitant about joining white supremacist groups in publicly supporting Donald Trump for president, France took his sweet time getting around to addressing a new law in North Carolina that essentially formalizes discrimination against lesbian, gay and transgender people.

After no comment on the issue for the better part of a month, despite Charlotte being the sport’s epicenter, France finally was given the chance to take a stand during a meeting Thursday with the Associated Press Sports Editors.

France whiffed completely.

He started out by bragging that NASCAR opposed a similar law in Indiana, before devolving into some tortured logic about why NASCAR wouldn’t do the same in North Carolina.

“In this instance, we take the position that any discrimination, unintended or not, we’re on the other side, we don’t like that,” France said. “We are working, including myself, behind scenes to the extent, again, we’re not a political institution, we don’t obviously set political agendas and write laws, but to the extent we can, express our values to policy makers – in this case, North Carolina, we will and we do.”

That mess of an answer was especially striking, given what NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said when he spoke to APSE journalists. Silver made it clear the NBA would move next year’s All-Star Game out of Charlotte without significant revisions of the law.

NASCAR could deliver an even more forceful economic blow, given the organization has offices and its hall of fame in Charlotte, most of the teams are based in the area, and Charlotte Motor Speedway is host to one of the biggest races of the year on Memorial Day weekend.

But France wasn’t going there.

Not even close.

“We try to be part of a solution, not part of a bunch of threats. Truthfully,” he said, his nose likely growing on every word. “But we’re very direct about it, and I think we just do our part. We always like to think we take a lot out

VIEWS Paul Newberry of the communities that run our events and do business in North Carolina.”

As if realizing he was getting backed into a corner, France concluded by trying to make the case that NASCAR really didn’t have that much influence over the affairs of North Carolina, which would be news to taxpayers who helped fund the money-draining Hall of Fame.

“We’re just one small piece of the fabric,” he insisted. “We want to play our role but not overstate our role.”

Of course, NASCAR was willing to take a much more decisive stand when Stewart, a three-time Cup champion and one of the sport’s most outspoken figures, had the nerve to criticize a potential safety hazard. At a sponsor appearance Wednesday, Smoke complained about the organization not policing teams that don’t apply all five lug nuts during pit stops, a tactic that gets their cars back on the track quicker but has led to a rash of loose wheels the past two races.

Instead of thanking Stewart, NASCAR quickly doled out a ludicrous fine for criticizing the organization. Some of Stewart’s fellow drivers were so outraged they quickly agreed to go in together to pay the $35,000.

What should make this lack of coherent leadership even more troubling to NASCAR fans is the sport isn’t exactly thriving at the moment. TV ratings are slumping, fewer cars are entering races, and tracks are plagued by thousands of empty seats.

Just this past weekend at Bristol, the bullring of a track that once had a wait list for tickets, the place looked about half full. Not counting rainouts, TV ratings were the lowest for the track’s spring race since it moved to Fox in 2001, continuing a disturbing trend that began with the season-opening Daytona 500.

Stock car racing has always been viewed through a regional, homogenous microscope, going back to his bootlegging roots in the Jim Crow South. France has tried to shore up that image at times, most notably working to stamp out the prevalence of the Confederate battle flag in the wake of the Charleston massacre.

But these latest developments are indicative of a sport increasingly out of touch with the modern world.

The NFL made it clear that future Super Bowls might not be held in Atlanta if the state approved a religious exemptions law, a stand that helped push the governor into a veto.

The NBA is following a similar path in North Carolina.

Then there’s NASCAR, which is clearly heading in the wrong direction.

SPORTS BRIEFS TNT Athletics of CL raises Harvick wins pole on $1,200 for Turning Point rainy day at Richmond TNT Athletics owner Steve Drain recently held a fundraiser at Forge Fitness in Crystal Lake, the gym where his staff trains people, and the proceeds will be donated to Turning Point of McHenry County.

Turning Point is a domestic violence agency with a mission to confront violence against women and children in the county.

Drain said during the weekend of April 16 and 17 that anyone who signed up for a training session wrote down their charity of choice. Drain used all that money, which was $1,200, to donate toward a charity and Turning Point’s name was drawn.

“Over 20 charities were written down, some more than once in there,” Drain said. “They paid for their training session, I didn’t take their money.”

There were current TNT members and friends of members who attended. One local travel baseball prorgam, Illinois Stix, had a whole team attend.

Even Drain’s great aunt, who had a lung transplant and is forced to have an oxygen tank with her, came with his grandmother and flipped some tires.

RICHMOND, Va. – Rain washed out qualifying at Richmond International Raceway on Friday, giving Kevin Harvick the pole position Sunday for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race based on being the fastest in an abbreviated morning practice session.

Harvick won the pole with a speed of 129.069 mph, edging Joey Logano for the top spot.

Logano’s speed was 128.694.

The top five also includes Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards and hometown favorite Denny Hamlin.

IBCA to recognize 3 local girls basketball coaches

Steele shoots 64, leads by 3 shots in Texas Open

Three local girls basketball coaches – Johnsburg’s Brad Frey, Crystal Lake South’s Mark Mucha and Huntley’s Steve Raethz – will be honored by the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association at its Hall of Fame dinner April 30 in Normal.

Frey, Mucha and Raethz were selected by the IBCA as Coach of the Year in their respective districts.

Frey led the Skyhawks to a 28-4 record and a Class 3A sectional championship. Mucha directed the Gators to a 23-10 record and a Class 4A regional title. Raethz, who passed 300 career wins, coached Huntley to a 30-4 mark and its third 4A sectional title in four years.

Frey also was selected as the Northwest Herald Girls Basketball Coach of the Year.

Inbee Park to miss month because of thumb injury DALY CITY, Calif. – Inbee Park said Friday she is taking a month off because of a thumb injury, pushing back her LPGA Hall of Fame qualification.

The second-ranked Park withdrew from the Swinging Skirts Classic this week because of a ligament injury in her left thumb. She hopes to return to play late next month in the Kingsmill Championship.

Park needs to make three more starts to reach 10 events this year and fulfill the 10-year tour membership requirement for Hall of Fame induction.

SAN ANTONIO – Brendan Steele completed an 8-under-par 64 in the morning and shot a 70 in the second round Friday to take a three-stroke lead in the Texas Open.

The winner five years ago at TPC San Antonio for his lone tour title, Steele had a 10-under 134 total. Play was suspended because of darkness with 13 players left on the course.

Scott Langley, Stuart Appleby and Charley Hoffman were tied for second. Langley shot a 68, Appleby had a 70, and Hoffman a 71. Patrick Reed was in the group at 6 under after a 73.

Defending champion Jimmy Walker missed the cut with rounds of 75 and 77. Phil Mickelson also dropped out, shooting 77-71.

PR grad Stevens gives Wisconsin lift ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino The difference between April temperatures in Madison, Wisconsin, and Macon, Georgia, is about 20 degrees.

For Prairie Ridge graduate Kirsten Stevens, there’s no shortage of warmth in her new college softball home at the University of Wisconsin.

“For the longest time, I thought, ‘Wow, this groundhog is wrong,’ ” joked Stevens, a junior pitcher. “I’m really happy here. Wisconsin is something special. I love my team. My classes are challenging, but I like a challenge.”

After two dominant seasons at NCAA Division I Mercer University in central Georgia, Stevens made the move north to expand her academic and softball horizons.

Stevens, a double major in Spanish and French, has found both avenues full of opportunity.

Stevens was the Southern Conference Pitcher of the Year at Mercer last season. At the same time, Wisconsin stumbled to a 21-31 record.

This season, she is sharing the lead role on the Badgers’ staff with senior Taylor-Paige Stewart. The duo has combined to help the Badgers to a 23-17-1 mark. Stevens is 9-8 with a 3.43 ERA while Stewart is 13-9 with a 3.15 ERA. “Some people might think, ‘Oh, you’re not really the star anymore,’ ” Stevens said. “But I don’t really care about that. I’ll usually start the games and Taylor will close. I go for more (batters) to make contact with the ball. I get a lot of groundouts. Taylor is more of a strikeout pitcher, so it’s definitely a different look for the batter. We’re a good 1-2 punch.”

Stevens has 61 strikeouts in 106 innings this season, well shy of her 221 strikeouts in 233 innings last season.

The new role at Wisconsin, however, has been a welcome change.

“It’s not the stress of, ‘Oh my goodness, I have to strike everyone out,’ ” she said. “I like playing tougher competition. It’s more of a challenge.”

In the classroom, she has embraced an expanded catalog of courses in Madison.

“This semester, I have an advanced Spanish literature course and a grammar course,” she said. “I really love my lit class. The professor is from Argentina. Here, there are so many more opportunities.”

The Badgers are 8-5-1 in conference play, good for sixth place. Last season, the team finished in 13th place at 5-17.

“We decided to take a step back

Wisconsin junior pitcher Kirsten Stevens, a Prairie Ridge graduate, has a 9-8 record and 3.43 ERA this season. and work on fundamentals,” Stevens said.

That involved everyone getting involved in all of the team’s preseason drills.

“At Mercer, I would pitch during practice and then I was done,” she said. “Here, I did ground ball drills and baserunning drills. I really liked that. My fielding on the mound has gotten way better than I could have imagined.”

The Badgers went 4-1 on a road trip to Minnesota and Iowa last weekend and host Illinois this weekend.

“We’re definitely the underdog against a lot of teams,” Stevens said.

“But we all have confidence that we have each others’ backs. I like having confidence in my infield to make good plays and that there are other good pitchers behind me. Having that positive, can-do attitude definitely makes a difference. It’s very reassuring.

“We go into games thinking, ‘Why not us? Why not Wisconsin?’ ” she said.

Making Heartland go: Sophomore shortstop Collin Ridout of Johnsburg is batting .411 this season with team highs of 46 RBIs and seven triples for the baseball team at Heartland Community College in Normal.

Ridout, who will play next season at NCAA D-I Southeastern Louisiana, has started every game for the Hawks (27-7). He also leads the team with 39 runs scored and ranks second with seven homers.

This week, Heartland is ranked sixth nationally in the NJCAA.com poll. Ridout ranks fifth in the nation this week in triples and 20th in RBIs. Carolina contributor: Sophomore golfer Lexi Harkins (Crystal Lake Central) shot an even-par 72 in Sunday’s final round to help D-I North Carolina’s women’s team to a fourth-place finish in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Harkins shot a three-round total of 10-over 226 (77-77-72) to finish tied for 29th individually.

Entering the tournament, Harkins owned the team’s second-best scoring average at 75.42.

Augustana ace: Alexander Crescenti (Jacobs) scored six goals on Wednesday to help D-III Augustana’s men’s lacrosse team to a 17-8 victory against Beloit College for the Vikings’ fifth consecutive win.

Crescenti, a senior midfielder, leads Augie (9-5) and ranks third in the College Conference of Illinois and

Wisconsin with 41 goals this season.

He also has a team-high 46 points, which ranks fourth in the league.

Concordia honors: Crystal Lake South grad Allie Bochat was chosen

by Concordia University Chicago last month as the co-winner of its A.W. Gross Distinguished Senior Scholar Award.

Bochat, a senior softball player for the D-III Cougars, has been a fouryear member of the program and is enjoying her finest season this spring.

While starting every game and playing first base for Concordia (19-10), Bochat is hitting a career-best .383.

She leads the team in homers (three) and ranks second in doubles (seven) and RBIs (20).

The Gross Award recognizes Concordia athletes who demonstrate high standards of academic achievement, athletic proficiency, character, conduct and athletic leadership. Bochat is a special education major who has earned all-conference scholar athlete honors three times.
