Safety falls on riders State has seen motorcycle fatalities increase in past few years

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Motorcyclists can be hard headed but not always in the best of ways.

As one of the growing number of states that do not have helmet laws, Illinois has seen motorcycle fatalities increase in the past few years along with states that have repealed helmet laws.

Motorcycle crash deaths increased to 155 in 2013 from 148 in 2012 when the total accounted for more than 15 percent of all motor vehicle

fatalities despite motorcycles accounting for roughly 4 percent of all vehicle registrations in Illinois.

Out of the 148 motorcycle fatalities, 78 percent of the riders did not wear a helmet.

The absence of helmets has been linked to fatal motorcycle crashes in trends seen around the country.

Texas and Arkansas both saw a significant increase in motorcycle fatalities after repealing laws in 1997, and Florida’s motorcycle fatality rate went from roughly

CHICAGO – Allegations painting a culture of patronage hiring in Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration became an election-year obstacle for the Chicago Democrat on Wednesday as good government groups raised concerns about the potential for corruption and his Republican challenger latched onto the idea.

The spotlight on hiring came a day after a complaint filed in federal court by attorney Michael Shakman – whose decades-old court case led to bans on politically based hiring in the Chicago area – alleged improper hiring in the Illinois Department of Transportation. The lawsuit cited a 2013 Better Government Association probe alleging that jobs may have filled based on “clout instead of competence.”

The complaint also alleged that hiring practices that began under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who is now imprisoned for corruption, continued into Quinn’s tenure – including reclassifying positions so they’d be exempt from state hiring rules and politics could be considered.

“Patronage is a deeply embedded evil in Illinois politics,” Shakman said. “It’s not surprising that you have continuity from administration to administration.”

Quinn said an audit was immediately ordered after the BGA report surfaced and the problems were addressed.

“We have zero tolerance for anything on hiring that isn’t exactly according to the rules,” he told reporters in Macomb, according to The McDonough County Voice. “So they conducted an audit, they have done an investigation. I want them to carry

“So they conducted an audit, they have done an investigation.

I want them to carry that out, to follow the law at all times.

That’s what I’ve always believed in and will continue to do that.”

Patronage still a problem in Illinois SPRINGFIELD – Several boxes of old index cards turned up the other day that demonstrated politics in the 1980s and 1990s played a role in people getting hired by Metra, the outfit that operates commuter trains in the Chicago area.

One of the Chicago newspapers ran banner headlines about these artifacts dating to the era of Bruce Springsteen, the Exxon Valdez and The Cosby Show. The cards showed that political patronage was once common in Illinois.

No kidding.

It seems political angels such as Paul Simon and Jim Edgar, as well future inmates such as George Ryan and Chicago Alderman Ed Vrdolyak were engaging in political patronage.

These men and a host of others used their political clout to get people government jobs.

The cards not only listed the job applicant’s name but also their political sponsors. It was an era when political patronage was out in the open.

Today, of course, this type of

VIEWS Scott Reeder patronage is illegal. But it’s still common.

Frankly, it’s part of the unseemly political culture that is Illinois.

In the decades I’ve covered Illinois government, I have seen more cases of patronage than you can shake a time card at.

A few years ago, long after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the practice illegal in most instances, I was chatting with the late John Gianoulis, the octogenarian party boss for Rock Island County.

He’d just been hired on by Rod Blagojevich to work in his administration.

He rather unapologetically told me he was going to head up patronage for the governor.

And to a large extent, in Illinois, if you want to get hired or advance in

your government job it’s not so much what you know, but who you know.

Look no further than the latest Metra controversy. Former CEO Alex Clifford alleges that House Speaker Michael Madigan and other political big shots pressured him on a host of personnel issues.

Admittedly, things aren’t as bad as they once were.

Back when I first started covering Illinois politics in the 1980s, state prison guards, secretaries, laboratory technicians and a whole host of run-of-the-mill state jobs were hired in part through the offices of a local GOP county chairmen.

It was a bad practice that made for a worse workforce.

Job applicants felt compelled to give money to politicians. State workers felt compelled to continue to give once they had their jobs. And working for the local political party, rather than doing good work, was seen as a way to advance in your government job.

Even today, politicians largely are

dependent on government workers to do their political bidding.

Last year, the Better Government Association investigated who was passing nominating petitions for Madigan. It found 17 of 30 people who passed petitions worked for government, and another 12 had at one time worked for government.

That’s right, 29 out of 30.

Political patronage remains a pernicious problem in the Land of Lincoln.

It’s time our state leaders consider hiring and promoting the best people rather than the most politically subservient.

It won’t happen just by changing laws, but by changing the political culture that dominates Springfield.

And that will be a tough row to hoe.

Spy plane outlasts Cold War, but not defense cuts

By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The U-2 spy plane outlasted the Cold War, outlived its successor and proved crucial a half-century ago when two superpowers were on the brink of nuclear war.

But defense cuts now threaten to knock the high-flying reconnaissance aircraft out of the sky.

The Air Force wants to gradually retire the fleet of 32 “Dragon Lady” planes, which can soar to an altitude of 70,000 feet, collect intelligence

on North Korea and Russia and rapidly send the data to U.S. commanders. That’s a critical capability, given North Korea’s unpredictable leader, Kim Jong Un, and Russia’s emboldened president, Vladimir Putin.

The Air Force says the unmanned aerial vehicle Global Hawk can do the job, and in an era of smaller, deficit-driven budgets, the Pentagon cannot afford both the plane and the drone.

Skeptical lawmakers have challenged the Air Force’s proposal to ground the resilient U-2, the long-winged,

Gacy case helps solve unrelated death said Beaudion’s father, Louis Beaudion, 86, who professed that he was scared he would die without knowing what happened, like his wife did in 2001.

Many things may never come to light about Edward Beaudion’s death, partly because his skull was never recovered.

Beaudion was driving his sister’s car on July 23, 1978, when he dropped a friend off and John Wayne told her he was Gacy heading home.

No one ever heard from him again.

That August, Jackson was taken into custody in Caruthersville, Mo., after he was found driving the car, which Beaudion’s family had reported stolen.

Jackson was extradited to Chicago, where police said he told them he had met Beaudion on July 23 in downtown Chicago and punched him in the face during an altercation, rendering him unconscious.

Police said he told them he stuffed Beaudion’s body in the car, drove to a wooded area

By DON BABWIN The Associated Press MAYWOOD – Four decades after John Wayne Gacy lured more than 30 young men and boys to his Chicago-area home and strangled them, his case has helped authorities solve another killing – one he didn’t commit.

Investigators have identified the remains of a man who in 1978 never returned to his home that was just a few miles from Gacy’s house. They also say they know the identity of his now-deceased killer.

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office announced the findings Wednesday – the result of an ongoing effort to name several unidentified victims of Gacy, who was executed in 1994.

Although the news that 22-year-old Edward Beaudion of Chicago is believed to have been killed by a small-time Missouri crook named Jerry Jackson, who died last year, comes too late for justice, it answers a question Beaudion’s family has asked for decades.

“I always thought he was killed but you still aren’t sure until you get the proof,”

about 15 miles southwest of Chicago and dumped it.

When he took police to the area, no body was found, so police didn’t charge him in Beaudion’s death, settling for auto theft and a four-year prison sentence for Jackson.

In 2008, hikers discovered a partial skeleton in a forest preserve – in the same general area where Jackson had taken police years before.

With little more than shreds of clothing and no indication of a cause of death, the investigation went nowhere.

The bones, one of which had an orthopedic screw in it, were taken to the county medical examiner’s office.

“They never did anything,” Sheriff Tom Dart said.

Three years later, Dart’s office exhumed eight of Gacy’s unidentified victims from the 1970s to test DNA. Dart asked that relatives of young men who disappeared at the time of Gacy’s killings to submit DNA samples for comparison. Beaudion’s sister, Ruth Rodriguez, called.

“I didn’t think Gacy killed him but we figured we’d go ahead and try,” she said.

Tests ruled out Gacy.

In the meantime, sheriff’s

detective Jason Moran was among those working with the medical examiner’s office to clean up the operation in the wake of embarrassing revelations about stacked bodies and remains tossed haphazardly in boxes.

The office shipped some unidentified bones to the same lab where Moran had sent DNA samples from Beaudion’s relatives.

Earlier this year, the lab reported a “genetic association” between the bones and DNA from Beaudion’s relatives. Moran said he interviewed Beaudion’s father and sister, who confirmed Beaudion had an orthopedic screw in his left knee.

Beaudion’s remains will be cremated and eventually buried with her father, Rodriguez said.

Moran said he recalls the moment when he and Dart recently took the family out to the spot where the bones were found.

“He [Louis Beaudion] starts crying and opens a bag that has a cross in it [and] he gets down on one knee and with a little hammer pounded this cross into the ground,” Moran said.

The relevant subsection of the Illinois law criminalizing the offense indicates it must be carried out in person and makes no mention of using the Internet or other electronic media, Brady said.

Ardis defended his actions at a City Council meeting Tuesday night, saying he felt his identity was stolen and that the comments posted online were “absolute filth.”

“It went way over the line,” Ardis said of the posts. “For that reason, my immediate reaction was a deeply personal one on behalf of my family and myself.

As a person, I felt a victim of sexual doggerel and filth.

U.S. weighs clemency for inmates Directed at felons in jail for at least 10 years

By ERIC TUCKER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is encouraging many nonviolent federal prisoners to apply for early release – and expecting thousands to take up the offer. It’s an effort to deal with high costs and overcrowding in prisons, and also a matter of fairness, the government says.

On Wednesday, the Justice Department unveiled a revamped clemency process directed primarily at low-level felons imprisoned for at least 10 years who have clean

records while in custody. The effort is part of a broader administration push to scale back harsh penalties in some drug-related prosecutions and to address sentencing disparities arising from the 1980s crack cocaine epidemic that yielded disproportionately tough punishment for black drug offenders.

“These older, stringent punishments that are out of line with sentences imposed under today’s laws erode people’s confidence in our criminal justice system,” said Deputy Attorney General James Cole in laying out new criteria that will be used in evaluating clemency petitions for possible recommendation for the president’s approval.

Though the criteria apply solely to federal inmates, states, too are grappling with severe prison overcrowding.

In Nebraska, for example,

“These older, stringent punishments that are out of line with sentences imposed under today’s laws erode people’s confidence in our criminal justice system.”

James Cole Deputy attorney general prisons were at 155 percent of capacity at the end of March.

And in California, courts have ordered the state to reduce the inmate population to 137.5 percent of designed capacity, or 112,164 inmates in the 34 facilities, by February 2016.

The White House, sometimes criticized as too stingy with its clemency power, says

it’s seeking more candidates for leniency in an overcrowded federal prison system whose costs comprise a sizable percentage of the Justice Department’s budget.

The system’s population has rocketed in recent decades, creating rising multibillion-dollar expenses that officials say threaten other law enforcement priorities and that an inspector general’s report last year characterized as a “growing crisis.” The United States incarcerates about a quarter of the world’s prisoners. Of the roughly 216,000 inmates in federal custody, nearly half are imprisoned for drug-related crimes.

But officials said now is the time to consider releasing more prisoners early.

“These defendants were properly held accountable for their criminal conduct. However, some of them, simply

because of the operation of sentencing laws on the books at the time, received substantial sentences that are disproportionate to what they would receive today,” Cole said.

Officials say they don’t know how many of the tens of thousands of drug-related convicts would be eligible for early release, but an ideal candidate would meet six criteria – including no history of violence, no ties to criminal organizations or gangs and a clean prison record. He must also have already served 10 years or more of his sentence and be likely to have received a substantially shorter offense if convicted of the same offense today.

The Bureau of Prisons will notify all inmates of the criteria next week and provide electronic surveys to those who think they deserve clemency.

Syrian activists accuse Assad of new gas attacks

By DIAA HADID and ZEINA KARAM The Associated Press BEIRUT – Syrian government forces have attacked rebel-held areas with poisonous chlorine gas in recent weeks and months, leaving men, women and children coughing, choking and gasping for breath, according to Associated Press interviews with more than a dozen activists, medics and residents on the opposition side.

Syria flatly denied the allegations, and they have yet to be confirmed by any foreign country or international organization.

But if true, they highlight the limitations of the global effort to rid President Bashar Assad’s government of its chemical weapons.

Witnesses near Damascus

and in a central rebel-held village told the AP of dozens of cases of choking, fainting and other afflictions from inhaling fumes that some said were yellowish and smelled like chlorine cleanser. Some of those interviewed said they believe the gas was responsible for at least two deaths.

They said the fumes came from hand grenades and helicopter-dropped “barrel bombs,” which are crude containers packed with explosives and shrapnel.

Activists have posted videos similar, though on a far smaller scale, to those from last August’s chemical weapons attack near Damascus that killed hundreds of people and nearly triggered U.S. airstrikes against Syria.

The new footage depicts pale-faced men, women and children coughing and gasp-

ing at field hospitals.

The U.N. Security Council called for an investigation Wednesday. Council members expressed “grave concern” over the allegations, said Nigeria’s U.N. Ambassador U. Joy Ogwu, council president.

It’s an accusation that carries high stakes, and the Syrian opposition has an interest in pushing such claims in hopes of spurring the world to take stern action against Assad, who has been locked in a civil war for three years and faces a Sunday deadline for handing over all his chemical weapons for destruction.

Chlorine is a potentially lethal chemical with a multitude of ordinary civilian uses, including laundry bleach and swimming-pool disinfectant.

In high concentrations, it can attack the lungs and asphyxiate victims.

Ukraine in security bind after warning from Russian official

By YURAS KARMANAU The Associated Press DONETSK, Ukraine – Russia’s foreign minister warned Wednesday that attacks on Russian citizens or interests in Ukraine would bring a firm response and drew a comparison to the circumstances that opened the war with Georgia in 2008.

“Russian citizens being attacked is an attack against the Russian Federation,” Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, a day after Ukraine announced it was re-launching a campaign against pro-Kremlin insurgents occupying government facilities in the mostly Russian-speaking east.

“If we were attacked we could certainly respond,” Lavrov said, speaking on the Kremlin-funded satellite TV

“If our interests, our legitimate interests, the interests of Russians have been attacked directly ... I do not see any other way but to respond in full accordance with international law.”

Sergey Lavrov Russia’s foreign minister channel RT. Lavrov’s warning came as the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a separate statement demanding that Ukraine pull its armed forces out of the crisis-ridden region.

“If our interests, our legitimate interests, the interests of Russians have been attacked

directly, like they were in South Ossetia, I do not see any other way but to respond in full accordance with international law,” Lavrov said, referring to the 2008 war that led to the breaking away of the Georgian republic of South Ossetia.

In that conflict, Russia launched an invasion of Georgia after it unleashed an artillery attack on the capital of the separatist region, where Russian peacekeeping forces were stationed. However, unlike the conflict with Georgia, Russia has denied having troops or agents in eastern Ukraine.

The Russian warnings came as an accord reached last week in Geneva to defuse the Ukraine crisis continued to crumble, with pro-Russian insurgents in the east defying calls to disarm and to vacate the buildings they are occupying.

8NATION BRIEFS High court nixes award to child porn victim WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a plea to make it easier for victims of child pornography to collect money from people who view their images online, throwing out a nearly $3.4 million judgment in favor of a woman whose childhood rape has been widely seen on the Internet. Two dissenting justices said Congress should change the law to benefit victims.

The justices said in a 5-4 ruling that a 1994 federal law gives victims the right to seek restitution from offenders, but only to the extent that the victim’s losses are tied to the offenders’ actions.

In this case, Doyle Randall Paroline was held liable by a federal appeals court for the entire amount of the woman’s losses, although his computer contained just two images of her, among more than 150 illicit photographs.

Recent rail safety effort marred by squabbling

Members of the U.N. investigation team take samples from the ground Aug. 29, 2013 in the Damascus countryside of Zamalka, Syria.

Syrian opposition activists and other witnesses tell The Associated Press that Syrian government forces have attacked rebel-held areas with poisonous chlorine gas in recent months. They say the attacks left scores of men, women and children coughing, choking and gasping for breath.

WASHINGTON – Spurred by a series of fiery train crashes, a push by government and industry to make safer tank cars used for shipping crude oil and ethanol has bogged down in squabbling and finger-pointing over whether they’re needed and if so, who should pay.

The Department of Transportation, worried about the potential for catastrophic accidents involving oil and ethanol trains that are sometimes as many as 100 cars long, is drafting new tank-car regulations aimed at making the cars less likely to spill their contents in the event of a crash.

Barrington Hills, who voluntarily joined the system, will have to find new companies to monitor their alarms, as well, Mullen said.

Last year, a federal appeals court in a case involving ADT Security Systems and the Lisle-Woodridge Fire Protection District found that the fire district did not have the statutory authority to own the signaling equipment or to assess fees to maintain the alarm-monitoring system.

Lehan said he didn’t know whether other municipalities would face lawsuits from alarm companies.

ADS attorney Nick Bonifas said a settlement to the lawsuit had been in the works since it was filed. He did say the company was prepared to litigate the case in court.

Currently businesses pay Algonquin $80 a month for alarm monitoring.

Bonifas said pricing will vary from vendor to vendor, but estimated commercial property owners to save as much as $3,000 over the course of five years on alarm monitoring.

“I think us, and [the] rest of industry, will be out competing to convince customers [we’re] the best for the job, with the best service and best pricing, which is what we wanted all along,” Bonifas said.

Quinn’s Republican opponent Bruce Rauner, however, didn’t waste any time accusing the governor of Illinois politics as usual.

The Winnetka venture capitalist, who’s seeking public office for the first time,

has billed himself as an outsider who’ll clean up Springfield. His campaign revived past allegations about Quinn being on a ghost payroll – performing political duties while on a state commission salary – for former Gov. Dan Walker. Quinn has defended his record of working for the public.

For years, patronage hiring had simply been the way to get ahead, particularly in Cook County politics.

Shakman began his efforts in 1969 and the decree that bars politics playing a role in employment is named after him.

The claims of wrongful hiring under Quinn come at a critical time, as he seeks a second full term in what’s expected to be one of the most intense and expensive gubernatorial races nationwide.

Meanwhile, good government groups said even allegations of patronage hiring were cause for concern.

“It’s a slippery slope when we see this happen. It makes sense to look into it right now,” said Susan Garrett of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform. “This can’t be a gray area.”

13 percent of all motor vehicle deaths in 2000 when a helmet law was first repealed to nearly 30 percent of all vehicle deaths in 2012.

McHenry County ranked seventh in Illinois with five motorcycle fatalities in 2012.

The county had four in 2013 and none early on in 2014.

Terry Redman, manager of motorcycle safety training for the Illinois Department of Transportation, said helmets are a crucial safety feature in riding, but do not address the biggest issues among motorcyclists.

“Wearing a helmet if you’re going 110 mph and hit a dump truck won’t help you,” Redman said. “There are too many people riding at a high rate of speed and a lot of it has to with riding drunk or high.”

Scott Haas, project coordinator with the Motorcycle Safety Project at Northern Illinois University, agreed with Redman and said the drug and alcohol culture in the motorcycle world causes the most safety problems.

But through the free safety and training classes Haas’ organization offers throughout northern Illinois including at McHenry County College, he said riders can learn about all the equipment, including helmets, that will give them a higher chance of survival in the event of a crash or wipeout.

“We absolutely promote helmet use but we can’t enforce it,” Haas said. “It is important for riders to take all the safety precautions they can because unlike cars, motorcycles are not designed for occupant survivability.”

Haas said he is encouraged about progress in motorcycle

have similar programs, is unclear. ADS wouldn’t comment on whether it would file additional lawsuits.

Businesses in Algonquin will be able to choose to go to any private vendor they want to monitor their alarms.

“We’ll be sending notices out to them explaining we’re not providing that service anymore, and they need to find their own private vendor,” Cahill said.

The deadline to find someone to monitor fire alarms will be July 30.

Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection Chief Patrick Mullen said notices are scheduled to go out to subscribers Thursday.

safety, having trained 5,600 people in the region last year and 725 people already this year in the first four weeks.

But like motor vehicle safety policies, Haas said it could take a while to see the results of the outreach and education.

Helmets are required at the Woodstock Harley-Davidson training courses, along with full-fingered gloves, boots that cover the ankles and all the gear to make riders safe as possible. While the dealership can require the gear during the course, instructor Jeff Carlsen said it is up to each individual person when it comes to their own rides.

The same rebellious spirit that has led to drug and alcohol issues in the motorcycle community also causes the desire to have the freedom to choose whether to wear a helmet, Carlsen said.

“I wear one when I ride but I can’t tell someone to do the same,” Carlsen said. “It’s an experience of freedom, and it’s a completely personal choice.

They don’t want the government intruding in that experience.”

Redman said it also is important the other commuters on the road take motorcycle safety seriously. Of the 155 fatalities in 2013, he said half were caused by the motorcyclist and the other half caused by drivers.

With the weather getting warmer, more and more motorcyclists will fill the roads.

“One of our mottos is look twice, save a life,” Redman said. “After a long winter where drivers haven’t seen motorcycles in a while, there is going to be a lot of them on the roads.”

Other communities have similar, municipal-run alarm monitoring programs. It’s unclear how Algonquin’s decision affects other areas. n McHenry n Crystal Lake n Woodstock

After that case, the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District handed over ownership of its monitoring system to the village of Algonquin, which required all commercial properties in the village to make a direct connection to the wireless monitoring system.

The village was sued shortly after the transfer.

“As far as we’re concerned, this is a great step,” said Kevin Lehan, the executive director of the Illinois Electronic Security Association, which has just under 100 members mostly in the Chicago area, including ADS. “It opens the market to true competition.”

The settlement also allows each business to keep the Algonquin equipment, and allows an alarm company to reprogram it to send a signal to a central station, or bring in its own equipment.

Contracts see light of day We recently used this space to criticize local school districts for voting on new teachers’ contracts before allowing taxpayers to see the details on how their money is being spent.

It is unacceptable to keep the public in the dark about how its money is being spent until it’s too late. Too many school districts believe it is acceptable to spend large sums of taxpayer dollars without telling the public how those dollars are being allocated.

For the record In the past week, however, District 47 and MCC should two taxing bodies be applauded for letting taxdecided to buck payers see how their money is that trend – one being spent before it’s spent. of them after it originally said it wouldn’t provide details of its contract with faculty until after trustees voted on the deal.

Crystal Lake-based School District 47 and McHenry County College posted contract details on their websites in the days leading up to the final vote on the contract.

District 47 approved its contract with teachers Monday night. MCC is poised to vote on its contract with faculty Thursday night. MCC originally refused to share the details of its deal with faculty.

Regardless of the timing, both entities should be applauded for letting taxpayers see how their money is being spent before it’s spent.

For example, taxpayers in District 47 were able to see that the district agreed to continuing the disturbing practice of giving retiring teachers a large raise in the final years of employment so that the teachers can pad their pension.

Taxpayers pay for the raise and the pension.

In District 47, retiring teachers will get a 6 percent raise in each of their final three years.

House Bill 4268 continues to sit in state Rep. Jack Franks’ State Government Administration Committee. The bill would require all newly negotiated contracts between unions and public-sector employers (school districts, cities, counties, the state, etc.) to be posted for at least 14 days on the public body’s website. It also would require the public entity to convene an open meeting and receive public comments before a vote is taken.

The bill was introduced by state Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton. Local state Reps. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills; Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake; and Barb Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake are co-sponsors.

Franks wants to broaden its scope to all contracts.

We continue to support House Bill 4268.

In the meantime, we applaud District 47 and MCC for showing taxpayers the contract before spending the money.

Casino bill must include Chicago and safeguards Haggling over legislation to bring a casino to Chicago has become a springtime ritual.

This time around, state Rep. Bob Rita, DBlue Island, has dealt out two new amendments that just might get the job done.

To our way of thinking, that’s welcome news, but only if the talks in Springfield have no influence on City Hall’s continued efforts to sharply reduce costs, especially the costs of pensions. Chicago’s finances are in dire straits, and a casino – years down the road, if ever – promises at best a relatively shallow pot of gold.

The Legislature twice has passed gambling bills, but both were vetoed by Gov. Pat Quinn.

Last year’s version never made it as far as Quinn’s desk. But Rita has been holding meetings since summer and full-fledged hearings since January to try to shape a bill that actually can pass. His latest two amendments would give Chicago a casino.

The narrower version would provide for a single Chicago casino that could be the largest in the world, with revenues divided between the city and state. The broader plan would add four other casinos in southern Cook County, Lake County, Vermilion County and Winnebago County, as well as slot machines at most horse-racing tracks. Chicago’s casino under that scenario would be smaller, with a maximum of 4,000 positions instead of 10,000.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel has made it clear he wants to reform the city’s finances before pursuing casino revenues. He really has no choice.

Revenues from a casino wouldn’t begin to flow, city officials say, and even after seven years of operation likely wouldn’t produce more than $120 million annually.

If that seems like a lot of money, consider this: Chicago’s pension liability alone comes to $18.8 billion.

The question now is where Quinn and House Speaker Michael Madigan stand. If the mayor wants this to be the spring that casino legislation becomes law, he needs to go to Springfield and make his case.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Organ donor month To the Editor: My wife died in June 2011.

She shouldn’t have. She didn’t have to. She had the best doctors in McHenry. She had the best doctors and facility in Chicago – Northwestern Memorial Hospital’s liver transplant department. She had a 97 percent chance of full recovery.

However, when the time came to save her life, there was no donor organ available, and she died.

Eighteen patients die every day, and 120,000 more in the U.S. wait and pray for the life-saving donor organ.

I am bitter and angry because this death rate does not have to be.

All of us easily can solve this problem ourselves. Simply sign on as an organ donor. What can be easier?

Yet, as the need goes up, the donor pool is stalling? Why? Why can’t you take a few

seconds to sign up? I would hope and pray that if any of you or your families ever needed a transplant it would be there for them.

A single donor possibly could save eight lives and restore eyesight to another. Think about this. What greater memory could you have of a loved one, and what greater legacy than to know that in their passing they gave the gift of life to another?

April is organ donor month.

Republican squabbling isn’t helping Republican politicians are at war over the world.

Rep. Peter King of New York said that Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky encourages “paranoia.”

Paul said his critics are distorting his views. Walter Jones, a North Carolina representative seeking his 11th term, is being challenged in a primary that features ads saying he “preaches American decline” and “opposes sanctions on Iran.”

It has been at least 20 years since Republicans have argued this angrily about foreign policy.

Voters don’t much care about this debate, though, and probably won’t until events overseas turn more menacing. In the meantime, Republicans vying for the 2016 presidential nomination are pushing the party toward one of two extremes on the issue – neither of which will do the party or the country much good.

Most Republican voters, like most Americans generally, are neither isolationist on principle nor promiscuously interventionist. They are neither hawkish nor dovish as a matter of reflex.

They want to be “tough” with Russia – a Fox News poll found that 66 percent of the public thought President Barack Obama insufficiently so – but also want to avoid getting bogged

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru down in another Iraq war. As broad as that middle is, it isn’t being well represented in the back-and-forth among Republicans.

Paul portrays himself as a “realist,” as well as a Reaganite: someone who asks hard questions before putting American credibility, money and troops on the line. It’s an attractive self-presentation, because policy makers should ask those questions: Are our interests at stake abroad? Is there any feasible way to promote them? Would the effort have an acceptable cost?

You can be skeptical about foreign interventions – from Iran to Syria to Ukraine – without having a conspiratorial mindset about them. Paul sometimes makes it a package deal, as in his repeated suggestions that former Vice President Dick Cheney pushed the Iraq war because of his ties to Halliburton Co. – a ridiculous charge that even Cheney’s bitter Democratic opponents have had too much sense to make.

And you can set a high bar for taking action against an aggres-

sive and illiberal foreign regime without making excuses for it.

Paul doesn’t always observe that distinction. Last summer, he suggested that the Syrian government might be innocent of using chemical weapons, the victim of a false-flag operation by its enemies. As Russia was preparing to annex Crimea this winter, Paul was saying that Ukraine long had been within the Kremlin’s sphere of influence and that the key thing was to not “tweak” Russia too much.

On the other side of the Republican divide, the hawks tend to brush off the public’s reasonable concerns about their policies. Last year, New Jersey’s Republican governor, Chris Christie, delivered a full-barreled attack on libertarianism.

To oppose the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs, he suggested, was to place more value on “esoteric” concerns than on the victims of the Sept.

11 attacks.

It may be that Christie and like-minded Republicans could give a compelling answer to Americans who read news stories about surveillance and worry about their privacy or the government’s competence. But to answer them would require first conceding that these widespread concerns are legitimate

and shared by people who understand full well that the government has to fight terrorism.

While most voters are ambivalent about foreign policy, the ones who care most about the issue are the ones who have strong views, either hawkish or dovish.

And because they’re identifiable constituencies, they tend to have outsized influence on the debate.

The many Republican politicians who fall between the dovishness of a Paul and the hawkishness of, say, Sen. John McCain generally aren’t the ones who get a lot of media attention.

Events suddenly can raise the importance of the issue, though.

An Israeli strike on Iran that raised gas prices or a Russian attack on one of the Baltic states in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization: Crises of that order would command the country’s attention. At that point, Americans would be looking for leaders who are neither naive nor bellicose.

“We do need an intelligent debate,” said King, “and I don’t think Rand Paul is capable of having that debate.”

For the moment, at least, it appears the rest of us aren’t, either.

GANDER MOUNTAIN COMING TO AREA ALGONQUIN – A popular retail store for fishing, hiking, hunting and outdoor enthusiasts will soon be coming to Algonquin along Randall Road.

Executives from Gander Mountain announced in a news release Wednesday that they will soon construct a 52,000-square-foot store on a vacant lot at 1400 S. Randall Road, just north of the Walmart.

The outdoor specialty store operates at 127 locations in 24 states, including existing stores in Geneva, Joliet, Peoria, Rockford and Springfield.

“We’re excited to welcome Gander Mountain,” Village President John Schmitt said in the release. “Their decision to locate in our community reaffirms that Algonquin is a desirable place to do business.”

The Algonquin store will feature a large selection of new and used firearms, along with fitness wear, gear, and accessories for hunting, fishing, camping, boating and archery.

Gander Mountain will continue to update consumers about a grand opening in Algonquin through its website, www.

D-200 wins fitness grant $550,000 award to be used for physical education, health programs

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – School District 200 will be awarded more than half a million dollars in federal grant money to develop fitness and nutrition programs.

The district has won a cut of Carol M. White Physical Education Program (PEP) funding, which is designed

to help schools and agencies start, expand or enhance physical education and nutrition education programs for students in kindergarten through 12th grades. This year, $33 million will go to 67 grant winners, including three in Illinois.

District 200 – which will receive $550,000 – is just the second McHenry County entity to be awarded a PEP grant,

and the first since Richmond-Burton High School received one in 2002 – the program’s second year in existence.

“It’s quite competitive, so we were very excited to get the grant,” said Keely Krueger, District 200’s director of grants, language and culture. “We feel it’s going to bring a lot of enhancements to what we are currently do-

ing.”

The district’s preliminary plans include revamping the K-5 physical education curriculum, which would involve using grant funds to buy new materials and equipment.

District officials also would use part of the funds

jdallke@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Centegra Health System has received approval to relocate its inpatient behavioral health services from the specialty Woodstock hospital to the facility on Doty Road, a move the hospital said will help serve more patients and improve the quality of care.

All seven members of the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board voted Tuesday in favor of the project, which will move Centegra’s inpatient behavioral health services from the 100-year-old Centegra Specialty Hospi-

The board also approved a separate plan to centralize the hospital’s obstetrics services to a newly

“Overall, it’s an expansion and improvement of services,” said Centegra Health System President and Chief Operating Officer Jason Sciarro. “We are excited about improving services on both fronts.”

Centegra has seen additional community need for inpatient behavioral health care during the past few years, Sciarro said.

The relocation of those services to the Doty Road location will allow Centegra to increase the number of

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Pioneer Center wants people to sleep outside to help others get in. The fifth annual SleepOut for Shelter is set for May 10 and will again aim to raise tens of thousands of dollars for McHenry County PADS, a program of the Pioneer Center for Human Services.

For the past four years, SleepOut for Shelter has helped raise awareness and money for the county’s largest homeless shelter service, generating $70,000 last year with more than 600 participants in nine locations.

Residents can still get involved in this year’s event by registering as a participant, sponsor or fundraiser. Registered participants would get the full experience of sleeping outside for a night in a homemade box shelter, tents or even cars while sponsors could donate to a participant and fundraisers can raise money without sleeping outside.

Those interested can go to www.sleepoutforshelter.org for more information and to register. All who register will get their own fundraising page on the site to collect donations from family, friends and colleagues.

The event, which will be held at Living Waters Lutheran Church at 1808 Miller Road in Crystal Lake, will start with a one-hour rally hosted by Star 105.5 FM that includes a dance party, cookout, “shelter” box-building competition and more.

After the rally, participants spend the night outside in tents, boxes or cars at the church. Participants also can spend the night in their backyard, or a friend’s yard as well as other locations.

Homelessness is a growing problem in the county. McHenry County PADS has seen a 51 percent increase in the need for services since 2009.

Doing what’s right; think before you speak “I feel ...

“When you ...

“Because ...

“I would like for you to ...”

These are examples of what we learned to say when someone is being mean to us. For example, I could say this to someone who is being unkind: “I feel sad when you tell me that I can’t to do that because I know I can. I would like for you to stop making me feel down, and maybe we can try to be friends again.”

When we feel like there’s nothing we can do or say, we can just share our feelings and tell them that we want to be kind to one another.

Sometimes, we feel peer pressure to be mean because a

GIRLS ON THE RUN Ansley Morlock group is doing it. But if we are the ones to start being nice, others may follow. It makes everyone feel happy to be kind.

“Did you hear that Amy got an ‘F’ on her test, and then she cried?”

That is an example of gossiping. And that might not have been the real story. When gossip starts, it goes around and around, and it changes.

If you have ever played the game telephone, as we did, then you would know if you said, “Strawberries are yummy in

my tummy,” it might come out in the end as “I like berries.”

That’s the way gossip is.

We learned that gossiping can hurt each other, and we need to follow the golden rule, which is to treat others the way you want to be treated.

So we left Girls on the Run knowing that we should think about what we say before we say it, and we should be kind to one another. Everyone wants to be part of a group that is doing what’s right.

ciation and the Illinois Water Environment Association.

The conference also has competitions for best tasting water and water main tapping among others, the village said in a news release.

In the hydrant contest, teams of two people had to assemble a fire hydrant as

quickly as possible.

Hallaert and Meyer won the contest with a time of 2 minutes, 2 seconds.

“To see these guys go through and assemble a hydrant is phenomenal; they do it so quickly,” Utilities Superintendent Andy Warmus said.

“It’s almost as if they could read each others minds. It’s choreographed very well.”

Warmus added the team now has bragging rights for the next year.

A team from the village of Westmont finished in second place with a time of 2 minutes,

40 seconds.

At Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting, Hallaert and Meyer demonstrated the hydrant assembly.

“The accomplishments of Gary and Jason pay tribute to their dedication to this industry and add to the contributions they’ve made throughout their career with the village,” Village President John Schmitt said in a news release. “Through hard work and a commitment to professional development, we’re able to continuously improve our operations.”

Dave Greenbaum, who runs a computer repair business, gets into his vehicle outside his house in Lawrence, Kan. Despite increasing acceptance of gay lifestyles in the U.S., gay small-business owners such as Greenbaum say they still encounter discrimination from possible customers and investors.

Gay business owners still face challenges

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press NEW YORK – It happens a few times a year: A customer refuses to work with Dave Greenbaum because he’s gay.

Greenbaum, who owns a computer repair business in Lawrence, Kan., often needs to go into customers’ homes. Some people realized he is gay after he was quoted in a newspaper story about gay rights. They told Greenbaum, “I don’t appreciate your lifestyle, and I don’t want you in my house.” Others canceled appointments saying, “I found out you’re gay.”

Despite increasing acceptance of homosexuality in the U.S., gay small-business owners say they still encounter discrimination from possible customers and investors. The discrimination is often subtle. An owner senses from a potential client’s body language or from a sales conversation cut short that they’re uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s more overt, like the rejections Greenbaum has gotten.

The need to raise public awareness about AIDS, which has affected many gays, and the fight for legalization of same-sex marriage have encouraged more gays to be open about their sexual orientation and has increased acceptance of them by others. Still, gay-rights advocates note that 29 states don’t prohibit workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Business owners are also vulnerable, they say.

“They’re at a business meeting, and no one’s particularly identified as gay, and then there’s a gay joke or gay slur,” said Gene Falk, CEO of StartOut, an organization that supports gay entrepreneurship. “You don’t have to go through that too often to develop a real sense of what

“A lot of the way guys relate to each other is with sports, and frankly, that doesn’t interest me.”

Nayte Carrick Owner of ClikClok you’re up against.”

Publicist Sam Firer specializes in working with chefs. He finds many American male chefs don’t want to work with him; they meet with him but choose a woman-owned public relations firm. Firer, who co-owns New York-based Hall Co., said he doesn’t believe those chefs act out of malice.

He thinks they’re uneasy around gay men.

“Stressful and busy people want to be as comfortable as they can from moment to moment,” said Firer, who does have accounts with male chefs who are from other countries. Some who initially reject him later call him for help.

A challenge for some gay owners is they’re not part of what they call the good old boy network. Straight men in business often connect by talking about a football game or golf trip, topics that some gay men don’t care about.

“A lot of the way guys relate to each other is with sports, and frankly, that doesn’t interest me,” said Nayte Carrick, owner of ClikClok, an Orlando, Fla.-based software company.

His home life is different and that also can make it difficult to connect.

“I don’t have a girlfriend, and I don’t have a wife. I’m 36 and don’t have kids. That’s bizarre to them,” Carrick said. “Even people I think of as open-minded have difficulty relating to my life.”

Some believe that being gay costs them business. Cindy Weigel, owner of Roxy Insurance in Chicago, finds it hard to sell policies to suburban families, while her wife is more successful. Weigel said she believes it’s because she looks gay – her hair is short and spiky and she said she doesn’t look as feminine as other women. Her wife, Weigel said, is “pretty” and “does not look gay.”

Weigel has a solid business selling to gay clients and straight ones who are single. But families are the most lucrative customers for an insurance agent.

“I feel that being gay is hurting my business,” Weigel said. “It’s just the way it is.”

Some owners develop strategies to avoid losing business or head off an unpleasant situation.

Stephanie Davis uses an upfront approach. She owns an entertainment publicity business in Philadelphia and sometimes works with churches. She tells pastors she is gay because she understands they may not want to work with her. Two pastors have refused to work with her – but most want her services.

“Some say, I’m working with you because you do amazing work,” Davis said.

Jeffrey Cesari asked a female colleague to work with a prospective client who seemed to be uneasy with him. Cesari’s first phone conversation with the man a year ago started well, but Cesari began to feel tension as it went on.

Cesari, whose Philadelphia-based company Shimmer Events organizes conferences and other events, wasn’t ready to give up.

“I called a couple more times to get more information, but I couldn’t get anywhere,” Cesari said. When his female colleague tried, the client was willing to schedule an event.

Hundreds of cases of pig virus reported in Illinois SPRINGFIELD – Illinois agriculture officials say there have been hundreds of cases in Illinois of a deadly pig virus that’s been spreading across the country for the past year.

Through March, 360 cases of porcine epidemic diarrhea were reported, according to a story in The Springfield State JournalRegister. The U.S. Department of Agriculture just announced last week that hog farmers would be required to report the virus.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea has killed millions of pigs in 27 states since showing up in the U.S. last May, with Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and North Carolina being hit hardest. The disease has been blamed for recent increases in bacon and pork prices. Farmers have struggled to control the virus, because little is known about how it spreads and there is not yet a federally approved vaccine.

Believed to be from China, PED poses the most risk to newborn piglets, which die from dehydration. It does not infect humans or other animals.

Tim Maiers, director of industry and public relations for the Illinois Pork Producers Association, said the virus has spread throughout the state and is impacting large and small farms.

“It’s hard to determine how it’s moving,” he said. “One farm has it, but the one next to it doesn’t. Then it shows up on another farm that’s fairly isolated.”

Nokomis hog farmer Phil Borgic said the virus reached his farm in early January.

“We lost 100 percent of our production for four weeks.

None of the piglets made it,” Borgic said.

Faster production brings Boeing $965M 1Q profit Boeing’s increased rate of commercial jet manufacturing is starting to pay off for shareholders.

In the first three months of this year, 161 new airplanes rolled off the company’s assembly lines – more jets than the same period last year. That increased rate contributed to a $965 million profit for Chicago-based Boeing Co. post in the first quarter.

The net income was actually down 12.7 percent from last year’s $1.1 billion first quarter profit, but that is because Boeing took a $330 million accounting write-off related to changes in its retirement plans. The company also noted that its 2013 earnings were inflated by a one-time research and development tax credit.

Net income per share dropped to $1.28 per share from $1.44 during last year’s first quarter. But adjusted to exclude the write-off, earnings were $1.76 per share, beating the estimate of $1.56 per share from Wall Street analysts surveyed by FactSet.

Amazon snares classic shows in deal with HBO NEW YORK – Fans of classic HBO shows such as “The Sopranos” and “The Wire” soon will have access to those series and more through Amazon Prime in the first online streaming deal signed by the cable network.

Starting May 21, Amazon Prime members – who pay $99 a year for streaming entertainment, two-day shipping and other perks – will be able to watch other older shows, such as “Six Feet Under,” ‘’Big Love,” as well as early seasons of “Boardwalk Empire” and “True Blood.”

Good, bad involved with student loans Student loan debt is second only to mortgage debt in the U.S., and the average college student graduates $29,000 in debt, which jeopardizes his or her financial future if the debt is not paid according to the loan’s terms.

Parents of students getting ready to graduate from high school, college students ready to graduate, and those ready to go back to school have been hearing a lot about student loans, the debts they have caused, and the fights in federal courts over what to do about the staggering debt loads.

Yet, few are talking about what types of loans there are, what types are better than others, what types to avoid, or how to utilize as few loans as possible. Because of the timeliness of the subject and its complicated nature, I requested some expert advice from a certified NFCC financial professional, Shauna Fischer, who provided me with the following information: Private student loans: Personal loans that often are parent-plus loans that require a co-borrower. These loans go through a credit review and offer the least amount of security and protection in case of default or difficulty making timely payments.

MONEY MATTERS Virginia Peschke Prospective borrowers should begin by shopping around for the best rates. There is a 30-day grace period, during which credit scores will not be affected. In the event that a student dies or becomes completely disabled, these loans are not dischargeable, and the co-borrower becomes completely responsible.

It may be advisable for the student to take out a life insurance policy in an amount that would cover the student loans, should the unthinkable happen. There is no leniency with a delinquency. The first day a payment is missed, the loan is considered in default, and the borrower can be sued for any past-due amounts.

Once a loan is delinquent, there may not be programs available to help bring it current. Private loans can be charged off after 120 days and sold to a collection agency. Delinquent status can stay on the credit report up to six years after the first delinquency.

Federal loans: These loans are

backed by the government and are not based on the borrower’s credit score, normally do not go through a credit check and do not require a coborrower.

In the case of complete disability or death, the debt can be discharged.

These loans are not considered in default until nine months of missed payments, and there are programs to help borrowers become current again.

The borrower’s credit report will show positive once the loan is brought current. A defaulted loan may be consolidated or rehabilitated. The National Consumer Law Center advises that rehabilitation might take a little more effort, but affects credit more positively. A loan is considered current if nine consecutive payments are made in a 10-month period. The loan will be then be noted on the credit report as current.

For loans not in default, there are many options available, and each should be tailored to the specific situation. Deferment, forbearance and income sensitive repayment plans are just a few of the available options.

Borrowers having trouble making payments should contact the lender before it is too late and the problem

becomes too big and unmanageable.

Sallie Mae has a chat option for its federal loans, and it is very simple and easy to use.

After graduation, borrowers should consider consolidating all loans into a direct loan. This is especially important for those working in a public service-related field. After 10 years of payments and full-time employment, the remainder of the student loan debt is forgiven.

Other options exist to lessen the necessity of taking out student loans, such as work study programs, federal Pell Grants and scholarships. Some of these can be applied for by filling out an online application called FAFSA. As for scholarships, there may be work involved, but with a little effort and planning, the student loan burden may be reduced.

For assistance, you may make an appointment with Fischer or any of the certified counselors at Consumer Credit Counseling Service of McHenry County by calling 815-338-5757. The counseling is free.

Sales of new homes plunge 14.5 percent in March

By JOSH BOAK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The number of Americans buying new homes plummeted in March to the slowest pace in eight months, a sign that real estate’s spring buying season is off to a weak start.

The Commerce Department said Wednesday that sales of new homes declined 14.5 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 384,000. That was the second straight monthly decline and the lowest rate since July 2013.

Sales plunged in the Midwest, South and West in March. But they rebounded in the Northeast, where snowstorms in previous months curtailed purchases.

New-home sales have declined 13.3 percent over the past 12 months.

“Our core view is that the housing market has stalled and won’t contribute” to overall economic growth this year, said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.

Rising home prices have caused some buyers to back off at the lower end of the market, while new-home buyers at the top continue to buy. As a result, median sales prices jumped 12.6 percent during the past month to $290,000.

Home sales usually improve with the start of the spring. More would-be buyers venture to open houses. Families with children often begin to look for homes so that they can move once the school year

ends.

Builders anticipated a snap back with the warmer weather. There were 193,000 new homes for sale at the end of the month, about 39,000 more than the same period last month.

Several other indicators also show that housing activity was muted last month.

The National Association of Realtors said Tuesday that sales of existing homes edged down 0.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.59 million. It was the seventh drop in the past eight months.

Sales have fallen, in part, because few homes are for sale. There is a 5.2-month supply of existing homes on the market, much less than the 6-month level seen in health-

ier markets. More construction is needed to boost the supply, the Realtors’ group argues.

But the improvement in building has been slight.

Builders started work on 946,000 homes at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in March, up 2.8 percent from 920,000 in February, the Commerce Department said last week. Those figures include single-family homes and rental properties. Applications for permits, a gauge of future activity, fell 2.4 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 990,000.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index was 47 in April. Readings below 50 indicate that more builders view sales conditions

as poor rather than good.

Sales also have been modest because of affordability issues.

Rising prices over the past year and higher mortgage rates have made it harder for many Americans to afford a home.

Real estate data provider CoreLogic said home prices rose 12.2 percent in the past year. Wage growth last year failed to keep pace with the higher buying costs.

The average rate on a 30year mortgage was 4.27 percent last week. Rates surged about 1.25 percentage points from May through September, peaking at 4.6 percent. Those increases began after the Federal Reserve signaled that it would begin to pull back from its bond-buying program.

Ruhland commits to Notre Dame

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com For 10 days, Trevor Ruhland knew his mind was made up.

Ever since Notre Dame offered the Cary-Grove junior offensive lineman a scholarship this month, the Irish remained on the top of Ruhland’s recruiting list. On Tuesday night, the last before he would announce he intended to play football in South Bend, Ruhland struggled to contain his excitement.

But knowing he would have to take his ACT before committing to Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly, Ruhland realized he had to remain focused.

“It was a huge day. I had my ACT, I was committing, and so I got my sleep, but I thought about it all (Tuesday night) and all today during the ACT,” Ruhland said Wednesday.

“We’ll see how that reflects on my score.”

Ruhland’s commitment to the Irish ended what had been Trevor a strenuous recruiting Ruhland process that landed him more than a dozen Division I offers, including five from the Big Ten. But after visiting Notre Dame this month for the fourth time when he received his offer, Ruhland

knew knocking the Irish from the top of his list would be difficult.

The fact Notre Dame offensive line coach Harry Hiestand was visiting C-G on Wednesday provided Ruhland the perfect opportunity to announce his decision. Ruhland’s parents and brother showed up at the high school wearing Notre Dame gear before Ruhland broke the news – first to Hiestand and then by phone to Kelly.

Under NCAA rules, Kelly cannot comment on recruits until they have signed a National Letter of Intent.

“It’s a big relief off my shoulders,” Ruhland said. “It’s been a crazy process, and I’ve definitely enjoyed it.

But [Notre Dame] is definitely a place

I’ve wanted to be, it’s a place where I feel I’m the most comfortable, where I’m going to enjoy myself, where I’m going to become a better person, a better football player and a better man.

“This is the place where I want to go. So I’m excited – I think this is the best decision I’ve ever made.”

C-G coach Brad Seaburg said the Notre Dame offer was a bit of a gamechanger. From the time Ruhland received his first offer from Minnesota in July, Seaburg saw the recruitment of his top offensive lineman go in waves.

hitting with making the most of a series of Prairie Ridge miscues in a 10-8 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division victory Wednesday, Semro wasn’t shocked.

Not in the least.

“We’re so even-keeled that we know if we’re down 4-0 in the first inning, we know how to come back and not dwell on it,” said Semro, whose first-inning three-run home run all but erased the early deficit. “We always use it as incredible motivation to go down that much.”

The Trojans (8-5 overall, 3-1 FVC Valley) still trailed, 7-5, when they loaded the bases with nobody out to start the bottom of the fifth inning.

Sarah Purpura delivered an RBI single before Prairie Ridge committed two errors on the same play without the ball ever leaving the infield. The quick turn of events ended up playing a major role in the final result.

By the time Jamie Deering capped the rally with an RBI single, the damage to the Wolves chances at staying unbeaten in league play had already been done.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Prairie Ridge third baseman-pitcher Jon Tieman is the high school equivalent of the major leagues’ Triple-A call-up.

Tieman was promoted from the sophomore team last week when third baseman Cal Aldridge underwent surgery for his broken nose and pitcher Jon Ethan Routzahn Tieman learned an elbow injury had ended his season.

Tieman is likely to stick with the big club, especially after the performance he turned in Wednesday against Marian Central. The sophomore righthander required a minimum of offensive support, which was fortunate because that was all the Wolves provided, as Prairie Ridge nipped the Hurricanes, 2-1, in their nonconference baseball game.

“We left it in Jon’s hands today; he threw a great game,” Prairie Ridge center fielder Chris Slack said. “We just knew we had to come up with a couple of runs to get him the ‘W.’ ” Tieman (1-1) struck out four, allowed four hits and did not issue a walk, throwing 81 pitches for his first varsity victory.

The Wolves, 9-9 and winners of seven of their past eight games, scraped up single runs in the fifth and sixth innings for their fifth consecutive win.

EASTERN CONFERENCE QUARTERFINALS: BULLS VS. WIZARDS

No one coming to rescue Bulls, Thibs

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com His team down 2-0 in the best-of-seven first-round playoff series against Washington, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau is going to be defiant until the end.

And unless Thibodeau can find a fourth-quarter go-to player between now and Friday night, that end could be coming much sooner than expected.

A lot has been made of the fourth-quarter deficiencies on offense in Games 1 and 2, specifically why Thibodeau hasn’t looked elsewhere on his bench for scoring help.

AP photo The sad reality is Thibodeau Washington’s John Wall (left) and Bradley Beal celebrate has no one else to go to. the Wizards’ 101-99 win as the Bulls’ Kirk Hinrich walks off His best player, Derrick the court after missing two free throws at the end of over- Rose, is in street clothes, and time of Game 2 Tuesday at the United Center. this series against the Wizards

Next for the Bulls Bulls at Wizards, Game 3, first-round playoff series, 7 p.m. Friday, ESPN, AM-1000; Wizards lead, 2-0 has been a reminder of just how badly the Bulls need a shot creator.

Then there’s Carlos Boozer.

He played only 21 minutes Tuesday, shooting 2 for 6 from the field and scoring five points.

Boozer was pulled earlier than usual in the first quarter, then was in his usual towel-waving role in the fourth quarter and overtime. That’s $33 million in salary (Rose and Boozer) sitting on the bench in

crunch time.

Heart and hustle obviously have a shelf life, and it might have expired when the regular season ended.

“The group that’s in there, Taj [Gibson] is playing well,’’ Thibodeau said when asked about Boozer’s minutes. “Whenever you say, put someone else in, you’re taking someone else out. Who are you taking out?

Joakim [Noah]? Who are you taking out? Taj? Everyone has a job to do. Just do your job.’’

When asked whether Boozer was doing his job, Thibodeau gave the politically correct response.

“He’s doing what we’re asking him to do,” Thibodeau said.

“We started the game off slowly.

We can’t start a game off slowly. We have to start a game off quickly. It’s a 48-minute game.

I know you guys sit there and say, ‘Who didn’t play? Throw that guy in there.’ We got here a certain way.”

That “way” led to 48 wins in the regular season. It was a nice little feel-good story. But as the Wizards have shown, feel-good stories all come to an end.

Thibodeau is basically playing a seven-man rotation and only seems to have faith in six – Noah, Kirk Hinrich, Gibson, D.J. Augustin, Jimmy Butler and Mike Dunleavy.

“I really don’t know,” Gibson said when asked if something was amiss with Boozer.

“In the playoffs, things just happen. You’ve just got to be sharp. You’ve got to sharpen up your game because teams, they’re on it.

Bears will play 5 night games, take on Lions on Thanksgiving Day in Detroit

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com The Bears will play five games in primetime, help open a new stadium and play in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day for the first time since 1999.

The NFL released its 2014 schedule Wednesday, and the Bears will open the season at home in a Sunday noon game against the Bills.

In Week 2, the Bears play their first primetime game on a Sunday night, as they will travel to the Bay Area to play the first regular-season game in Levi’s Stadium against the 49ers.

The primetime slate continues in Week 3 in the Meadowlands against the Jets on “Monday Night Football.” That will be the key jaunt of the season, as the Bears return home to host the rival Packers, and Julius Peppers, at noon in Week 4. They will play in Lambeau on primetime for the second year in a row, facing the Packers on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 10.

The other games under the lights for the Bears will be in Week 14 against Henry Melton and the Cowboys on “Thurs-

day Night Football” and the next week against the Saints on “Monday Night Football” at Soldier Field.

The Bears have back-to-back games against the AFC East midseason. They host the Dolphins in Week 7 at noon and travel to Foxborough to take on Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the Patriots in Week 8 at noon. They follow those two games with a bye in Week 9.

Against the NFC South, the Bears play in Carolina against Ron Rivera’s Panthers in Week 5, in Atlanta against Mike Tice, Devin Hester and the Falcons in Week Six, and the game everyone will have circled – the Bears host Lovie Smith, Josh McCown and the Buccaneers in Week 12 on Nov. 23.

Bears fans can plan for Thanksgiving in Detroit. For the first time since 1999, the Bears will play the Lions on Turkey Day – they played the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day in ’04. The Bears then host the Lions in Week 16.

The Bears will conclude the season against the other divisional foe, the Vikings, at TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus. They host the Vikings in Week 11.

Only 20, Wizards’ Beal has arrived

By MICHAEL WISE The Washington Post At 20 years, 298 days, Bradley Beal has a babykins smile belying his grown-up game. He is the 10th-youngest player in the NBA. Besides Anthony Davis in New Orleans and Kyrie Irving in Cleveland, no player in the league 21-and-younger approaches his star potential. Heck, no current Major Leauger is younger than John Wall’s butter-smooth teammate.

But this isn’t about having all that talent at a tender age. It’s more about the mental toughness and maturity it takes for a sinewy shooting guard to be physically roughed up for much of four quarters and still remain unfazed enough to deliver a season-defining victory on the road of his first playoff series.

When Charles Barkley and others said, “Bradley Beal has arrived” Tuesday night, the coming-out party of pro basketball’s next Ray Allen had begun.

Ruhland: It’s ‘amazing’ I’ll be playing for Irish • RUHLAND Continued from page C1 With each offer, Ruhland would add the school to his list of options, willing to wait possibly as late as this summer before making a final decision.

But because of the weight an offer from the Irish carried, Seaburg knew it was just a matter of time before Ruhland made a decision.

“It’s not that he wasn’t thinking seriously [about the future] before that, but it became more of a, ‘OK, I need to really start thinking about this,’” Seaburg said.

Ruhland said getting his college choice out of the way now allows him to focus on finishing his career with the Trojans. C-G reached the Class 6A state championship game

during Ruhland’s sophomore year. Now, with a year remaining in his high school career, Ruhland will turn his focus to helping deliver a state title to C-G. Once his high school career ends, however, Ruhland knows what is waiting for him.

“I feel like it’s probably one of the best schools in the country,” Ruhland said. “The success and the tradition they have there is unmatched. You walk through the halls and you see all the great players that have played there, you walk down the stairs, you tap the [Play Like A Champion Today] sign – that’s something you’re not going to get anywhere else.

“It’s amazing to me that I’m going to be able to put on the gold helmet and go out there and play on Saturdays.”

SOFTBALL: HUNTLEY 4, JACOBS 3

Athlete of the Week CAITLYN DAYTON CL Central sr.

Dayton has been a force in goal for the Tigers all season. The past week, Crystal Lake Central went 3-0, all matches in which Dayton was in goal.

Dayton made 11 saves in a 2-1 victory over McHenry and followed that Thursday with another 11 saves in a 3-2 victory against Prairie Ridge. On Tuesday, the Tigers went to Grayslake North and Dayton recorded her fourth shutout of the season, making nine saves for the Tigers (6-3, 1-0 Fox Valley Conference Fox Division) in the division opener.

“I sure sleep so much better at night knowing I have Caitlyn in net,” Tigers coach Jay Schwarzrock said.

“I get greedy sometimes and just assume she is going to stop everything. She is a phenomenal talent.”

By ANDY SCHMIDT sports@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – All Huntley shortstop Jessica Shields wanted was another chance.

Shields, who had grounded into a fielder’s choice with two on earlier in Wednesday’s softball game against Jacobs, got her chance in the bottom of the seventh inning and took advantage of it. She

Blue Streaks streaking: Woodstock is off to a hot start to its season under coach Mike Golda.

The Blue Streaks have won eight of their first 11 matches to begin the season, including a 2-1 victory over Johnsburg in their FVC Fox opener. The Streaks tied the score on a free kick with three – yes, three – seconds remaining and then won in overtime. The Streaks also beat Guilford, 7-0, on Saturday in a match in which Emma Thill scored a goal and added four assists for the Blue Streaks.

Chargers try to push across winner: Dundee-Crown (3-2-3) has three ties this season, including both matches this past week against Lake Park and Grayslake Central. Knowing a tie isn’t the worst result to take away from a match, D-C has stayed confident and believes the wins will come.

Sophomore forward Ashley Raby has emerged as one of the leaders of this Chargers team that has only three seniors.

“Even though ties aren’t exactly the results we want, I think communication and teamwork has been huge for us so far,” senior captain Shannon Feld said. “We have strong leadership of the experience we do have, and I think that helps us play better and stronger as a team.”

Wolves take positives from losses: Prairie Ridge has lost its past two matches, but it sure hasn’t been because there was a lack of effort. The Wolves (5-5, 0-1 FVC Valley) lost Thursday to Crystal Lake Central, 3-2, in a tough battle, and responded strongly Tuesday against Huntley. Prairie Ridge played one of the best teams in the area scoreless through two overtime periods, falling just short in a shootout.

“We have competed in every game we have played,” Wolves coach JC Brown said. “Game in and game out, my girls have given everything they have, and we can definitely take confidence away from games like these past two.”

This week’s top matches Prairie Ridge at Cary-Grove 4:30 p.m. Thursday The Wolves come off back-toback tough losses, and the task doesn’t get any easier as they travel to Cary-Grove to take on the Trojans. C-G also is coming off of a tough loss to McHenry, so one of these two teams will record its first FVC Valley win of the season. Ali Fanning and the Wolves’ defense will have their hands full with Emma Baker and Carli Petersen up front for the Trojans.

McHenry at Dundee-Crown 4:30 p.m. Tuesday The Warriors head to DundeeCrown to take on a Chargers team that is desperate to get back on the winning track. McHenry (6-2, 1-0 FVC Valley) beat Cary-Grove in their conference opener and comes in with a lot of confidence in this conference showdown with the Chargers (3-2-3, 0-0). D-C will look to shut down Alexis Morales and a tough, scrappy Warriors team.

field single to move Walsh to third and, after a Koss steal of second base, Shields lined a single to left. Walsh scored easily and Koss got in just under the tag of Cummings to score the winning run.

“I knew, obviously, that I had to come through since my previous two at-bats weren’t so hot,” Shields said. “I just wanted to help the team.”

Huntley coach Mark Petryniec said there was no hesitation in sending Koss on the single trying to win the game.

“You’ve got to put the pressure on to get the girl at the plate,” Petryniec said.

Rivals could make county meet history Jacobs’ Lauren Van Vlierbergen and McHenry’s Lauren Opatrny will be pushing each other late Friday night in what could be the fastest girls 1,600 meters race ever at the McHenry County Track and Field Meet.

They also will be chasing Woodstock’s Kayla Beattie’s record of 4:56.57, which seemed in 2011 like it Lauren might stand Van Vlierbegen for many years. Now, three years later, two junior runners who just broke 5:00 last week are poised for a historical run.

“I’m looking forward to that,” Van Vlierbergen said. “I hope we push each other a few times. We’ll be going against each other a lot.”

The county meet starts Thursday at Huntley’s Harmony Road Campus Stadium with field events at 4 p.m. and running semifinals at 4:30. All field events should be completed Thursday, with running finals starting at 5 p.m. Friday.

Van Vlierbergen ran a 4:55 1,600 to win the Illinois Prep Top Times Indoor Classic last month and ran a 4:56 last week.

Opatrny was thrilled Saturday when she ran 4:59.85 at Marengo’s Ed Reeves Invitational, setting a meet record and edging Woodstock’s Maura Beattie, Kayla’s sister, by four seconds.

“It’s going to be a battle,” Opatrny said. “Racing with [Van Vlierbergen] is so fun, she’s so fast. The county record could be broken. That’s really what it takes is someone right in front of you.”

There are other factors, such as temperature, wind

“We made too many mistakes defensively,” said Prairie Ridge coach Mike Buck, whose team also committed an error in the third inning that allowed two runs to score.

“We’re usually a better defensive team than that, so I was a little disappointed with the defense.”

Prairie Ridge (9-5, 4-1) got an Alyssa Doomis RBI double in the seventh to draw to within 10-8, but a costly baserunning error kept the Wolves from getting any closer. Doomis – who went 4 for 4 and finished with four RBIs – gave Prairie Ridge the early lead with a three-run double after Michelle O’Keefe put the Wolves on the board with a run-scoring single.

Despite falling behind early, C-G was able to respond behind 11 hits and taking advantage of the opportunities that came from the Prairie Ridge errors.

“When you play a good team like Cary, it snowballs,” Buck said. “I knew we’d have to score a lot of runs just the

and fatigue to consider. Van Vlierbergen will run a leg of Jacobs’ 4x800 relay team and run the 800 meters as well. She will take a shot at Crystal Lake South’s Marianne Collard’s 800 record of 2:19.24.

Then, Van Vlierbergen will see if she has enough left to take on Opatrny, who is running only the 4x800 and 1,600, and perhaps break Beattie’s record.

“I’m hoping I have enough left to be able to Lauren run my race,” Opatrny Van Vlierbergen said.

Van Vlierbergen said having the boys races in between girls races, with several heats, will give her more recovery time between the 800 and 1,600. The 4x200, 400 and 300 hurdles are between the 800 and 1,600. Plus, last year Van Vlierbergen ran the 800 and 1,600 in a lot of meets with great success.

Maura Beattie also could be a factor in the 1,600, but she will have run the 4x800 and 3,200 before that race and the 3,200 looks like her stronger race.

“Our [Fox Valley Conference] is really amazing,” Van Vlierbergen said. “We have a lot of depth in the mile [1,600].”

As often is the case with runners, Van Vlierbergen and Opatrny have struck up a friendship through competition. After the indoor state meet, they cooled down together. Van Vlierbergen expressed happiness for Opatrny’s breaking 5:00 and McHenry’s school record last week.

“It’s so hard to get over that mental barrier against [Van Vlierbergen],” Opatrny said.

“I need to try to get a good start and not let her get too far in front of me.”

Marian’s Rominski pitches well in defeat • BASEBALL Continued from page C1 “I enjoyed how my teammates battled for me,” Tieman said. “That was nice to see. All my pitches were pretty good today. I was keeping them down in the zone and putting them where my catcher [Dustin Thelander] put the glove.”

Marian sophomore Kolton Rominski (1-2) was equally tough, allowing two hits and one earned run while knocking in the only run for the Hurricanes (3-8) with a third-inning sacrifice fly.

“I just had to keep my composure out there and hitting my spots,” Rominski said. “I’m kind of happy, I gave up a walk and scored a run, so that kind of makes me mad, but other than that I thought it was OK.” Prairie Ridge score on Jack Myers’ single in the fifth, then scored again without a hit in the sixth. Slack walked to lead off the sixth and stole second.

“Coach [Glen Pecoraro] tells me to be aggressive,”

Slack said. “I like to steal as many bases as possible. Danny [Pecoraro] faked a bunt and I was able to get a good jump and steal second base.”

Slack advanced to third on Danny Pecoraro’s bunt and scored when Marcus Sargeant lofted a fly ball to center field for the game-winning RBI. “It’s kind of what we’ve had to do all year, manufacture and use the bunt game,” Wolves coach Glen Pecoraro said. “Slack’s one of our fastest guys, he’s done a nice job getting on the bases. Marcus has been outstanding all year, consistently our best hitter.

We’re playing better and some of those close games are turning around now.”

Tieman, who threw a no-hitter in his last sophomore start, retired nine batters in a row before Marian catcher Zach Hoijer singled with two outs in the seventh. Pitching coach Andy Deain visited the mound and Tieman finished when Pat McCabe hit a line drive to left fielder Carson Getzelman.

by Alyssa Lach, which was followed two batters later by a RBI single from Emily Borg to give the Golden Eagles a 2-0 lead.

Huntley responded with a run in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI single by Koss, who had four hits.

Jacobs got that run right back in the sixth, however, on an RBI double from Courtney Cotungo, who had three hits, before the seventh inning heroics from Shields to win the game for Huntley.

Emmert supports more efficient, effective NCAA

Slam by Semien powers victory

INDIANAPOLIS – NCAA President Mark Emmert believes college sports can address the concerns of union organizers without changing the entire model.

Emmert acknowledged Wednesday, in an interview with The Associated Press, that under a proposed new governance structure, the richest sports programs would have the autonomy to provide more money and more counseling and perhaps even more protections to student-athletes. He also thinks the new structure could help finance the travel of athletes’ families to postseason tournaments.

His comments come one day before the NCAA’s board of directors is to discuss a series of proposals that could change college sports.

The agenda includes debate over a new governance structure that would allow the five biggest football conferences to implement some legislation on their own, expand meal plans and change transfer rules.

Although some outsiders may see this as a response to Friday’s scheduled union vote at Northwestern, Emmert noted that these changes have been in the pipeline for months and even years.

Ex-MLB player Marrero, 102, dies in Cuba HAVANA – Conrado Marrero, the diminutive Cuban righthander who pitched for the Washington Senators in the 1950s and in 2011 became the oldest living former Major League Baseball Conrado player, died Marrero Wednesday in Havana. He was 102, two days short of his 103rd birthday.

Marrero’s grandson said he died in the early afternoon.

“He woke up in the morning and it was like he wasn’t there.

He wasn’t reacting,” Rogelio Marrero told The Associated Press.

“Connie” Marrero, as he was known in the States, was renowned for his control and for his presence on the mound despite standing just 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 158 pounds.

What Marrero lacked in heat he made up for with a tricky repertoire of breaking balls, knucklers and other off-speed pitches.

He also had a quirky windup that Felipe Alou once likened to “a cross between a windmill gone berserk and a mallard duck trying to fly backwards.”

Yankees pitcher Pineda ejected for using pine tar BOSTON – Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda was ejected for using pine tar less than two weeks after appearing to get away with using a foreign substance in another game against Boston, and the Red Sox beat New York 5-1 on Wednesday night.

The right-hander was thrown out in the second inning when plate umpire Gerry Davis found the substance on the right side of Pineda’s neck after Red Sox manager John Farrell asked him to check. Pineda walked from the mound without protest.

Both Pineda and Davis said it was pine tar.

“When it’s that obvious, something has got to be said,” Farrell explained after the game. “Our awareness was heightened, given what we had seen in the past.”

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Pineda and the organization were “embarrassed.”

Pineda (2-2) had nothing on the right side of his neck in a photo of him on the mound in his tough first inning, when four of the first six batters reached on hits. He said he put it on to get a better grip on the ball.

Fitting way to lose Wrigley’s 100-year celebration sours in 9th

By BRIAN SANDALOW The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Cubs celebrated the 100th anniversary of the first game at Wrigley Field in the most appropriate way: with a gut-wrenching loss.

They entered the ninth inning with a three-run lead.

They were one out from victory.

And then they collapsed.

After an error by shortstop Starlin Castro, the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for five runs in the ninth to beat the Cubs, 7-5, Wednesday.

“That one finished not like we would have wanted, obviously,” Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. “It seemed like the inning kept opening up, and we weren’t able to end up in the end putting a stop to it.”

Martin Prado hit a two-run single off Pedro Strop (0-2), Miguel Montero had a tying single against James Russell and Aaron Hill followed with a two-run triple off Justin Grimm.

The beloved ballpark, the second-oldest in the major leagues behind 102-yearold Fenway Park in Boston, opened April 23, 1914, when the Federal League’s Chicago Federals beat the Kansas City Packers, 9-1.

Fans sang “Happy Birthday” in the middle of the fifth inning Wednesday. The Cubs wore Federals’ uniforms, and the Diamondbacks wore Kansas City Packers’ threads.

The Cubs moved into the Friendly Confines in 1916, after the Federal League folded, and have established a tradition of beloved losers. The Cubs’ only World Series titles came in 1907 and ’08, when they played at the West Side Grounds, and they haven’t even reached the World Series

Selig takes Cubs’ side against rooftop owners CHICAGO – Short on specifics and long on vague pledges of support, baseball commissioner Bud Selig started fighting the Ricketts family’s public-relations battles for them Wednesday during Wrigley Field’s centennial celebration.

Selig pressed the Cubs owners’ case against rooftop owners, but struggled to defend that position when reminded the rooftops have a contract with the team. He insisted ownership is “very capable economically,” but pleaded for its need to make more money “to compete.”

He said the Cubs’ success on the field is important to baseball, but said that the long string of losing seasons was “fine” as they rebuild and seemed to scoff at the idea that the big-market Cubs were acting like the small-market Kansas City Royals or Pittsburgh Pirates.

If the past 100 years at Clark and Addison were history in the making, this was an attempt at history in the remaking – right down to Selig’s shrugging off an MLB-high debt that costs nearly $35 million a year to service and to suggesting a $75 million roster is part of Theo Epstein’s plan.

“You can’t ask a team to be competitive, and you can’t ask people to do things and then tie their hands and their legs,” he said, referring to restrictions on outfield signs and video boards related to the 20-year contract business president Crane Kenney signed more than a decade ago with rooftop owners. “That’s just wrong. Somebody has to say it, so I’ll be happy to say it.”

Still, the Cubs are 4,0763,621 (.530) during the regular season at Wrigley, according to STATS, and 7-20 in the postseason. The Cubs failed in their bid to win three straight games for the first time since July 26-28.

“Big day out there. You want to show up, have a good turnout for the fans and former players in the crowd,” Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija said.

Before a crowd of 32,323 – about 9,000 under capacity – the Cubs led 5-2 in the ninth.

Strop walked Chris Owings on four pitches and Castro allowed Tony Campana’s grounder to kick off his glove for an error. Castro tried to keep his left leg on second as he retrieved the ball, and second base umpire Brian O’Nora called the sliding Owings safe – a decision confirmed by the replay umpire in New

York.

Pinch-hitter Eric Chavez walked on a full count, loading the bases, and Gerardo Parra struck out. Prado’s bouncer up the middle bounded off second base, eluding second baseman Darwin Barney and kicking into short right-center field as the Diamondbacks closed to 5-4. Strop struck out Paul Goldschmidt for the second out.

Montero fouled off a 2-2 pitch, took a ball, and then lined a tying single to right.

Hill blooped a ball down the right-field line and Justin Ruggiano injured his left hamstring as he tried for a sliding catch near the foul line and the bullpen mound. He needed assistance to leave the field and was replaced by Ryan Kalish.

Samardzija allowed two runs and seven hits in 71/3 innings and is winless in 11 starts since beating San Diego on Aug. 24.

DETROIT – On the night he became the franchise’s career leader in total bases, Paul Konerko liked what he saw from some of the younger White Sox. Marcus Semien’s seventh-inning grand slam lifted the Sox over the Detroit Tigers, 6-4, Wednesday night.

It was the first career grand slam for the 23-year-old Semien, and it turned a tworun deficit into a two-run lead.

“Everybody I think is buying into catering your at-bat to the situation,” Konerko said. “I think everybody’s really done a good job of ... having an awareness of where things are at in the game, the scoreboard, what the guy’s trying to do to me.”

Konerko had three hits for the Sox, including an eighth-inning double that moved him past Frank Thomas atop the team’s career total bases list. Jose Abreu hit another long home run for the Sox, but it was Semien’s slam that turned around the game.

Detroit starter Drew Smyly allowed two runs in six innings, but Evan Reed (0-1) gave up two singles and a walk, and Ian Krol allowed the home run to Semien on a 3-1 pitch.

“Kind of sitting dead red,” Semien said. “He missed a couple up on me, and one of them I check swung, but that one was a little lower, and just got extended.”

Andre Rienzo (1-0) gave up four runs in the fourth inning, but kept the Tigers quiet otherwise in his first start this season. He allowed five hits and two walks in 61/3 innings, striking out three.

Matt Lindstrom pitched the ninth for his third save, but it wasn’t easy. He allowed a single, a walk and two deep flyouts before retiring Alex Avila on a line drive to first with runners on second and third.

Austin Jackson homered for Detroit.

Notes: The Sox optioned left-hander Charlie Leesman to Triple-A Charlotte after the game. Second baseman Gordon Beckham (strained left oblique) is expected to return from his rehab Thursday. ... Abreu’s homer was his seventh this year. ...

Danks made a diving catch in center field in the second to retire Jackson.

OUTDOORS & FINE PRINT

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Spots open for Louisiana trip Everyone knows what a “bucket list” is and quite probably, most of us have one. It is even more likely to pen a bucket list the older you become.

When I was 21, I had a list of things to do before I enter the pearly gates, and it was a long one.

It’s much shorter now. It’s not that I’ve accomplished so many of my wishes on the list. I’ve done some, but many have become less important to me, and now that I am older, I only list the things that I most want to accomplish.

I have a bucket list of outdoor achievements that I’d like to do before the credits roll on the movie of my life. My dream fishing trip was always to go to Brazil to fish for peacock bass. I’ve scratched that off the list because that trip is too physically demanding, and, as I get older, it is less likely I’d ever withstand such a physically excruciating trip.

Because of my good friend, McHenry’s own Hall of Fame angler, Spence Petros, fishing in Venice, La., has replaced Rio as my number one dream fishing vacation.

Petros has been fishing in Venice twice this year already. Upon his return from the first trip, he phoned to tell me, “I will probably never fly in to fish in Canada again.

Sure, I will always love to fish for muskies, but this Louisiana fishing is the best that I’ve ever done in my life.”

Please realize that Petros has fished almost everywhere that a man can bait a hook. What he says about Louisiana carries an incredible amount of weight with me.

Petros hooked up with Captain Bernie Frueh and his fishing partner, Ray Gallant, of Bite Me Sportfishing, at the Rosemont Show in January. He bonded with the guys and accepted an invitation to check out Louisiana’s fishing scene. Since Hurricane Katrina, many potential tourists have avoided the area because they think the landscape was totally devastated and the fish have been killed off from the oil spills that occurred in the recent past.

That is not the case. Sure, Katrina caused a lot of severe damage, but the fishery was pretty much left unscathed. Even the oil spills caused minimal damage, and most damage has been reversed by now.

Frueh and Gallant are from La Grange and run the “Bite Me” out of Waukegan Harbor during

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley much of the summer. They journey down to Venice whenever they book a Louisiana charter. They’ve fished all over the country. They took a trip down to Venice and were hooked. They found it to be a sportsman’s paradise.

“For big fish and lots of them, this is the place to be,” Frueh said.

I met the fishermen recently and found them to be knowledgeable and friendly. They are definitely the kind of guys you’d like to spend a week fishing with.

Petros told me that depending on weather and the bite that is on, you can fish inshore areas or you can fish the oil rigs, which are loaded with big fish. Deep blue ocean water holds fish that are certifiable monsters.

It’s a 15-hour journey to get there by car, about the same as northwest Ontario. The price is about the same as a nice Canadian adventure, too. The differences are that your money stays in this country, you can do it 12 months a year in beautiful weather, you can catch a dozen different species of fish and, best of all, you can bring back coolers full of extremely delicious fish filets. I am talking tuna, redfish, sea trout and mahi-mahi, among others. You may even get a sting ray or shark for the sport of it.

The tackle the guys provide is first-rate, your meals are included as well as gas and bait. You’ll fish in a comfortable and safe 22-foot center console boat. Petros said he and his boat mates caught between 38 and 96 large, hard-fighting fish a day the last time out. You can’t do that in Canada, can you?

Petros is going back again in October, and there is space available on his excursion. To find out more or to book a trip, you can check out www.bitemesportfishingvenice. com or call Captain Bernie at 763218-5044.

I hope to be able to scratch the Venice experience off my bucket list in 2015. Is there anyone who would care to join me and scratch it off of their list, too?

Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports, “Largemouth bass are moving into the shallows during mid-day because that is when the water is warmest. The bait fish, small bluegills and minnows are also there. Try using shallow crankbaits. I like Mann’s Baby Minus-ones or even a plastic frog topwater bait. You usually use these to fish in slop, but they will work well without the slop. The first break in 4 to 6 feet of water will be where some bass will be staging to head toward the shallows when the spawn begins. Use a RatL-Trap for them. I like a bluegill color. I have good reports of catfish on the Fox River using cut bait and night crawlers.” Call 815-455-2040 for updated reports.

Casting for Cures: There will be plenty to do for families with kids of all ages May 3 at Spring Grove Hatchery Park from noon to 4. Cheri Amore Memorial and Nicole Mendlik are hosting Casting for Cures, and it is an event not to be missed. Attendees will help fight childhood cancer and blood disorders by raising money while enjoying a fun family event. Money raised at Casting for Cures will be donated to the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer Fund, a charitable, nonprofit organization formed in 1976 to support research into the effective treatment and cure of childhood cancer and other related blood disorders. Fishing is a priority at the event. But there will be plenty for everyone to do.

I’ll go into detail next week. I just wanted to give you all an early heads up so you don’t miss this wonderful happening.

In addition to people attending the event, Casting for Cures could use a little assistance. They are asking for your assistance and generosity. They would greatly appreciate contributions to their live or silent auction. They would greatly appreciate any monetary donations, as well. All donations must be received by May 1 to have recognition in the program and on the website.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact David Mendlik at castingforcures@gmail.com. Put this event on your calendar and circle it with a red marker now.

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Parents are appalled by man’s Behavioral therapy and medication indifference to his young son can relieve panic attack symptoms Dear Abby: My 23-year-old son, “Wayne,” who is single, has a 3-year-old son. We didn’t learn about the child until he was more than a year old, when Wayne was asked to take a paternity test.

Luckily, we have been able to form a good relationship with our grandson’s mother and see him often. However, our son has shown no interest. He pays child support but has little interaction.

Wayne is an only child.

I love him, but I never wanted another one. I was never comfortable around or interested in young children except for my own son.

Could he have gotten this from me?

Friends and family have commented on Wayne’s lack of interest in his son, and I’m tired of making excuses or telling people to mind their own business. Wayne says he feels resentment and doesn’t want to be around this child. I have tried to explain he’ll regret it in years to come, but he won’t listen.

My husband is appalled our son would act this way, but he seems to forget I was the one who did everything with Wayne. I did the Boy Scouts, movies, horses, trips, etc. He did almost nothing with Wayne and his friends. At this point, I don’t

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips know what to do and would like some advice. – Mom In

Illinois Dear Mom: Your son is displacing his anger at himself onto his son. He should have used birth control and he knows it. It’s not fair, but Wayne does not appear to be the most mature of 23-yearolds.

Rather than blame yourself for the fact he wants no involvement, consider that children usually model themselves after their samegender parent. Because your husband was so uninvolved with Wayne, it is possible Wayne has no idea of what a father’s role ought to be.

A parenting class could fix this – if your son is willing to take one.

Until then, continue to be the supportive and loving grandparents your grandson needs because, aside from his mother, it appears you’re all the backup the little boy has.

Dear Abby: I come from a troubled family. I just now am realizing there is more to life than posting bond for family members and getting people out of jail at 3 a.m.

I got my GED and started college this year. Although I try to keep them at bay, they call me with one family crisis or another, and it’s putting stress on everyone around me.

I’d love to have a positive relationship with my family, but drama seems to follow them everywhere. Should I just let them go and move on with my life, or continue doing the same as always?

Must I drop everything I’m doing to jump and run every time the phone rings? – Fam-

ily Drama In Texas Dear Family Drama: Every time you come to the rescue, you further enable your relatives to do whatever it is that has gotten them in hot water.

That you have managed to separate yourself to the extent you have, and achieve to the level you have reached, is admirable. But if you’re going to continue to accomplish your goals, you cannot allow your family to distract you from your studies. Set limits. Let them know when you can’t be disturbed and turn your phone off. They’ll survive and you’ll thrive.

Dear Dr. K: I think I might be having panic attacks, but I’m not sure. What does a panic attack feel like?

Dear Reader: People who have never experienced a panic attack typically think it’s a mild feeling of nervousness. But in fact, it’s a lot more than that.

First of all, it usually starts very suddenly; it doesn’t slowly creep up on you. Second, it’s not mild.

A panic attack causes a sudden wave of intense anxiety, apprehension, fearfulness or terror. Usually, you have a terrible sense of impending doom, or of a looming catastrophe.

You might experience a sensation of smothering and a fear of going crazy or losing control. Physical symptoms might include shortness of breath, palpitations, sweating and chest pains. The symptoms often are so severe you might believe you are having a heart attack.

During a panic attack, you might feel dissociated from the world, or even from yourself. Some people describe this as “watching a movie of yourself.”

A panic attack usually lasts five to 30 minutes, but it can continue for as long as several hours. Panic attacks typically occur during the day, but they also can rouse

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff you from deep sleep. They’re different from nightmares.

Instead of waking up and realizing you were dreaming about something frightening – such as being chased – you wake up with no memories of a dream. You simply are terrified something bad is about to happen.

What causes panic attacks? There is considerable evidence that certain parts of the brain are activated when you feel anxious.

These parts include the hypothalamus and the amygdala. Brain-imaging studies have found these areas suddenly become activated when a person experiences a panic attack. However, that begs a question: What makes these areas of the brain suddenly become activated?

While panic attacks might be triggered by stress, they also might start for no apparent reason. A panic attack can be a single, isolated event, or attacks might occur repeatedly. Repeated panic attacks often are triggered by a particular situation.

Sometimes panic attacks occur when you are in a

situation that makes you feel endangered and unable to escape – driving over a bridge, for example, or shopping in a crowded store.

Such situations repeatedly can trigger panic attacks in some people.

If you think you have experienced a panic attack, make an appointment with a mental health professional.

He or she likely will recommend a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and medication.

CBT is a type of psychotherapy. It has two parts. Cognitive therapy helps change patterns of thinking that might prevent you from overcoming your fears. Behavioral therapy helps change your reactions in situations that trigger anxiety.

Doctors often prescribe medications known as benzodiazepines for panic attacks. These drugs help you feel mentally and physically relaxed. They are used as needed to help prevent intense worry about having another attack or about the consequences of an attack.

They also can be used to relieve symptoms during a panic attack.

L.A. JUDGE REFUSES TO RELEASE CHRIS BROWN

THINGS

LOS ANGELES – A judge in Los Angeles has denied a request to release R&B singer Chris Brown from custody while he awaits trial on an assault charge in Washington, D.C. Superior Court Judge Victor Greenberg denied a request Wednesday by Brown’s lawyer to release the Grammy-winner from custody either on bail or his own recognizance. The singer has been jailed since mid-March on a no-bail warrant after he was expelled from a court-ordered rehab program.

Brown’s bodyguard has been convicted of assaulting a man in Washington, and Brown’s trial has been delayed until at least June. He remains under court supervision in Los Angeles for his 2009 attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna.

Man accused of stalking singer John Rich warned NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A Nashville judge has issued a stern warning to a man accused of stalking country music singer John Rich.

The Tennessean reports the judge told Mark “Chris” Sevier Wednesday to stop “playing games” with the court or go to jail.

Sevier faces two counts of aggravated stalking and one count of criminal impersonation after being accused of stalking Rich at a Nashville coffee shop. He has pleaded not guilty and is free on bond awaiting trial.

A prosecutor asked that Sevier’s bond be revoked, saying he sent an email in April to court officials just before midnight on a Friday saying he was “moving” to New York that weekend. The judge warned Sevier but didn’t revoke the bond.

Letterman gets visit from Colbert NEW YORK – Stephen Colbert, who will take over for a retiring David Letterman on CBS’ “Late Show” next year, revealed Tuesday that he almost worked for Letterman – twice.

Colbert, the Comedy Central host, visited the “Late Show” for the first time since it was announced earlier this month he will replace Letterman sometime next year.

He was greeted warmly, with Letterman introducing him as “very talented” and “always entertaining,” and the two men posed for the obligatory selfie.

It was a different visit in 1986, the year Colbert, now 49, graduated from Northwestern. Letterman was working at NBC then, and Colbert said he accompanied his girlfriend to New York, where she was interviewing for an internship at Letterman’s show. In an odd turn of events, Colbert said he was hired instead of his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend. But he turned the job down.

“I did not take the internship because you do not pay people,” he said. “The next job I’m taking, that pays, right? Because I’ve already signed.”

Eleven years later, Colbert said he and his writing partner submitted a packet of material to the “Late Show,” hoping to join the writing staff. He said no one from the show got back to them for four months, and by then Comedy Central had already hired Colbert to do the show “Strangers With Candy.”

Colbert pulled out a card and read the Top Ten list that he and his partner had submitted 14 years ago to try to get the job. The list, written around the holidays, was “Top Ten Cocktails for Santa.”

“Late Show” producers inserted the traditional prepared intro that runs before Letterman’s Top Ten list every night, for which the current host feigned outrage.

“He doesn’t have the job yet,” he said. “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.”

Colbert said that “obviously, I’m thrilled” to have the job. The “Colbert Report” on Comedy Central will continue through the end of this year. The date of Letterman’s exit and Colbert’s debut on the “Late Show” hasn’t been set.

Jodie Foster weds artist Alexandra Hedison LOS ANGELES – Jodie Foster is a married woman.

The 51-year-old Oscar winner wed girlfriend Alexandra Hedison over the weekend, Foster’s publicist confirmed Wednesday.

Jennifer Allen offered no other details.

E! was the first to report that Foster tied the knot with Hedison, a 44-year-old photographer based in Los Angeles.

It’s the first marriage for Foster, who came out publicly in a rambling, heartfelt speech at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, where she accepted lifetime achievement honors.

After saying she planned to make a big announcement that would make her publicist nervous, Foster jokingly revealed that she was single.

“I hope that you’re not disappointed that there won’t be a big coming-out speech tonight,” she said, “because I already did my coming-out about a thousand years ago back in the Stone Age.” Foster acknowledged longtime partner Cydney Bernard, with

whom she has two sons. The couple ended their 20-year relationship in 2008. While Foster never hid the relationship, she kept her sexuality private until the Globes speech.

E! said Foster and Hedison have been dating since last summer.

Nyong’o named People’s ‘Most Beautiful’ NEW YORK – People magazine has named Lupita Nyong’o as the “World’s Most Beautiful” for 2014.

The 31-year-old actress, who won a best supporting actress Oscar for her role in “12 Years a Slave,” tops the magazine’s list, announced Wednesday.

Commenting on being selected for this year’s cover, Nyong’o said: “It was exciting and just a major, major compliment. I was happy for all the girls who would see me on it and feel a little more seen.”

Sony developing live-action Barbie comedy LOS ANGELES – Barbie is coming alive.

Sony Pictures, Mattel and Parkes+MacDonald/Image Nation have partnered to create a live-action movie focused on the iconic doll.

The companies said Wednesday the comedy will be written by Jenny Bicks and produced by husband-and-wife team Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald.

Executive producers will be Parkes+MacDonald president Marc Resteghini and Julia Pistor for Mattel’s Playground Productions.

Sony sees the film as a global franchise and plans to go into production by the end of the year.

Thursday, April 24, 2014 • Section E

Parade of Homes event set for Sunday in Woodstock (Friday through Sunday).

“We are definitely a Parade of Homes, as we will have 11 models open to the public from noon to 5 p.m.

Sunday. We are open only for the day, but there are a lot of homes to tour,” Maples sales manager Carol Lyons said. “I will have six of my own, which are for sale, on the tour, and we have five current owners at the Maples who will have their homes open as well.

People can walk from house to house and see what we have to offer.”

The builder offers five ranch plans in two styles at the 24-acre Maples community on the city’s north side.

Three are single-family ranches, and two are called “villas” by Wilcox.

The villas are arranged in a pinwheel format, which allows each to be an end unit. There are four units per building. Owners share one wall with

Jerry Kuyper WOODSTOCK – Carol Lyons calls it a Parade of Homes and, in a sense, it is.

Sunday’s event at the Maples of the Sonatas development, though, is not your usual Parade of Homes. It is one day only and features a single builder, Jamie Wilcox of Wilcox Communities.

Usually, these parades last longer than a day and occur when several, even a half-dozen, builders get together and invite the public to visit their new houses, which may be in scattered locations or at a designated subdivision. The parade usually covers two or three long weekends

neighbors. Prices start at $199,990 and provide a minimum of 1,718 square feet of living space. The two villa models are the Abbey (price and square footage noted above) and the 1,816-square-foot, $204,990 Canterbury.

The three free-standing, singlefamily ranches do not share any common walls with neighbors. The three ranch plans are called Palazzo, Portico and Promenade.

Each plan has direct access to a private landscaped courtyard to create a unique, private outdoor entertainment area, Wilcox said.

Base prices are $222,990 for the 1,516-square-foot Palazzo, $237,990 for the 1,754-square-foot Portico, and $247,990 for the 1,994-square-foot Promenade.

Every floor plan to be on display at Parade of Homes

The Promenade model’s living room features a tray ceiling, large windows and a patio door for access to a private courtyard. A fireplace is an option.

• PARADE Continued from page E1 Each plan has a dry-walled twoand-a-half car garage, tray ceilings and large windows, Wilcox added.

Fireplaces are optional.

“Every floor plan that we have will be on display. I will have three Porticos, the Promenade with a bonus room, the Canterbury and Palazzo,” Wilcox said. “The homeowners will have two Abbeys, one Canterbury, one Promenade with the bonus room, and one Portico with the bonus room.”

Sales of 125 potential Maples housing units opened in 2007. Currently, sales number 75.

“We are past the halfway point and we just released our third and fourth building phases so this open house comes at a good time,” Lyons said. In 2013, Lyons hosted her Parade of Homes in June.

Maples is a maintenance-free community as normal upkeep is the responsibility of a homeowners association. Monthly fees are in the $150 range.

Maintenance includes shoveling snow off sidewalks, plowing snow from driveways or spreading salt, grass cutting, landscaping, mulching, and exterior building upkeep.

Residents have access to a heated in-ground swimming pool and a clubhouse furnished with a fireplace, pool table, flat-screen TV, kitchen and great room, which can be reserved for private gatherings.

“The Clubhouse with its great room, cathedral ceilings and open floor plan is a great place to meet neighbors and friends for a cup of coffee or to play a game of billiards,” Lyons said. “With a cozy fireplace, recessed lighting and comfortable seating areas, the Clubhouse is a favorite gathering place for many residents.

“The fitness center features workout equipment, such as treadmills, an elliptical, weight machine and even large exercise balls. Residents also may choose to swim a few laps in the heated pool. The pool area includes lawn chairs and is a convenient place to enjoy a sunny afternoon.”

This April Parade of Homes provides the opportunity to view various models for both single-family ranch homes and the ranch villas.

Each luxury ranch home features many upscale details and amenities.

Part of the Courtyard Series, the Promenade, Portico and Palazzo models feature an outdoor courtyard accessed through sliding glass patio doors. Other details include tray ceilings, pantry and 9-foot ceilings.

The Portico model offers a spacious mud room and double-bowl vanity in the owner’s bathroom, while the Palazzo model features a gourmet kitchen with center island, ideal for entertaining.

Part of the Cathedral Series, the ranch villas offer two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car garage.

“With open-spaces perfect for oversized furniture, Palladian-style windows and walk-in closets, the Cathedral Series provides spacious one-level living,” Lyons said.

“This once-a-year event allows us to show potential buyers both decorated models as well as a number of personally owned homes that are not normally available for tour,” Lyons said.

“Many people have never had

the chance to see the interior of occupied homes. It provides a great opportunity to speak with current homeowners as well as see different furniture layouts and ideas.”

She added, “Living at Maples at the Sonatas means no more spending hours maintaining a lawn or having to endure the bitter cold and exhaustion that comes with shoveling snow on a northern Illinois morning. Maintenance-free living provides more time for the things

you love to do.”

Like the usual parades of homes by new-house builders, there will be refreshments Sunday.

“Light refreshments,” Lyons said. “Coffee, soda and cookies.”

For information, call Lyons at 815-334-0340 or visit www.wilcoxcommunities.com.

After the parade, it is back to regular sales hours, which are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, “Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.”

But one does hope that repetition transforms a truth that is sometimes overlooked into a truth that is remembered. As an example, how do the defenders defeat four hearts in this deal after West leads the spade ace?

The bidding is instructive.

Over West’s textbook takeout double, North’s redouble indicates at least 10 high-card points and fewer than fourcard heart support. (Note that in the United States, a twodiamond response is typically treated as natural and nonforcing, showing a long suit in a weak hand. With a good hand that isn’t suitable for a forcing one-level response, responder must start with redouble.) After this redouble, the simplest rule is that either the opening pair buys the contract or the intervening side plays in something doubled for penalty.

Under West’s spade ace, East drops his three, the lowest card denying both the spade queen and a doubleton.

West continues with the spade

queen. Now East should play his eight, starting a high-low with his remaining doubleton.

Then West cashes the spade king. But what should he do at trick four?

West has 14 high-card points and dummy has 13.

That leaves 13 for East and South. The declarer must have the diamond ace, club ace and club king. It is highly unlikely that the defenders can gain a minor-suit trick. And if so, the fourth defensive trick will have to come from trumps.

West should lead his last spade. This promotes East’s heart jack to the setting trick.

BLUES 3 (OT)

BLACKHAWKS 4

GAME 4

SERIES TIED, 2-2 Hawks quick hits WHAT WORKED • Simple approach Good things happen when the Blackhawks throw the puck at the net. Hawks coach Joel Quenneville preaches it all the time, and it’s as true today as it ever has been. Late in the third period, with the Hawks trailing by a goal, Michael Rozsival threw the puck at the net, and good things happened. Bryan Bickell tipped it in for a goal.

• Perfect vision Johnny Oduya rarely ventures into the category of playmaker, but he did so Wednesday with a highlight-reel pass to Patrick Kane to set up a Hawks goal. Oduya streaked down the left side of the ice and slipped a long pass across the rink and on to Kane’s stick, just past the outreached stick of Blues forward T.J. Oshie.

• Old and wise At 37 years old, Michal Handzus earned his “wily veteran” status years ago. The Hawks’ center proved his smarts again in Game 4 when he drew an extra penalty against Blues forward Steve Ott. Handzus delighted a sellout crowd of more than 22,000 fans by baiting Ott into taking a swing at him after a whistle.

WHAT DIDN’T WORK AP photo

The Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane looks up after missing a shot against St. Louis during the first period as linemate Jonathan Toews skates by Wednesday at the United Center.

An obvious decision Quenneville keeps potent combo of Kane, Toews together Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane are back together on the same line.

This is a Joel Quenneville “adjustment” that won’t bring a $25,000 fine.

The Blackhawks’ coach appears to have had a recent epiphany. You might have thought the epiphany he experienced during last year’s Western Conference finals – hey, this Toews guy and this Kane guy work pretty well together! – would have sunk in. The Hawks ended up winning their second Stanley Cup in four years thanks, in part, to that move.

A sluggish attack had the sludge knocked out of it when Quenneville finally saw the light.

This time, it took him a couple of playoff games to identify that light.

After two miserable losses in the Hawks’ best-of-seven series with the St. Louis Blues, Quenneville put the two back together in Game 3. He had them on the same line with Bryan Bickell for Game 4 Wednesday at the United Center, and Kane scored the winning goal in the Hawks’ 4-3 overtime victory. ‘‘Two special players,” Quenneville said. “They feed off each other, anticipating offensively – see plays, make

scored 20 goals. And that’s not even mentioning what defenseman Duncan Keith offers when he has the puck in the other team’s zone. The Hawks had 10 players at the Sochi Olympics for a reason, and it wasn’t the food.

Toews-Kane is not the answer for all that has ailed the Hawks in this rough-and-tumble series. The team has been miserable on the power play.

Preoccupied with the Blues’ physical play, the Hawks have struggled to play their own game at times.

But if last season’s playoffs taught us anything, it’s that they are much better offensively when Toews and Kane are together. Kane alluded to it a few days ago: There’s an on-ice connection between the two players, a hockey sixth sense. Each knows where the other is on the ice. More importantly, each knows where the other will be.

Kane thinks about sending a pass to a spot near the net, and Toews reads that thought process without a word being spoken between the two. The result often is a puck on a stick and a very concerned opposing goalie.

That’s how you answer the Blues’ aggressiveness. Make them tentative.

VIEWS Rick Morrissey plays. They’re a threat off the rush.

They’re two pretty amazing players.”

You noticed that, huh, Q? Quenneville does a lot of things right, and his supporters often praise him for the “feel’’ he has for mixing and matching his lines. I think he tinkers too much and, like a lot of other coaches, uses that tinkering to send messages to players, to keep them hungry during a grueling, 82-game season.

But when the Hawks need offense, he does what needs to be done by putting two possible Hall of Famers on the same line. If this were any other team, that wouldn’t make sense. For a less-talented team, spreading the wealth over several lines is the thing to do. But the Hawks have more skilled players than any other franchise in the NHL. They have Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp, both 30-goal scorers.

Brandon Saad has offensive skills.

Andrew Shaw, the human irritant,

Make them think twice about skating with malice.

It’s a wonder why Quenneville doesn’t use this grouping more often.

Whoever makes it out of this series will emerge bruised and battered, but if it’s the Hawks, they can lessen the effect by sticking with the Toews-Kane-Bickell line. Consumed with stopping that line, the Blues will spend more time trying to keep all the plates spinning, rather than trying to hit anything that moves, which would be their preference. And if they do take a run at Kane, Bickell should be there to protect him.

At Wednesday morning’s pregame skate, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock predicted there would be less after-whistle shenanigans from now on, that both teams were done with “message-sending.’’ Don’t mistake that for the Blues’ ratcheting back their aggressiveness.

Only a fast, dangerous offense can do such a thing, which is where Toews and Kane come in.

HAWKS NOTES

Blues’ Backes remains out; Hossa off to slow start in series

By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com Blues coach Ken Hitchcock seemed to get a kick out of playing it coy when asked about David Backes’ availability for Game 4 after Backes did not participate in the Blues’ morning skate.

“You never know – he could be skating at another rink,” Hitchcock said. “There are a lot of other rinks here in Chicago. But he’s not in the lineup unless he’s a player. If he’s a player, the way

he plays, he’s going to have a huge impact on the series.”

As it turned out, Backes did not play in Game 4 – the second game he has missed since getting checked in the head

by Brent Seabrook in Game 2.

T.J. Oshie replaced Backes on the Blues’ top line with Alexander Steen and Steve Ott. The Blues raised the level of their game to compensate for Backes’ absence in Game 3. But no matter how well they play without him, they miss him.

“He’s our captain. He’s

later, but the Blues planned on just doing what they’ve been doing.

“We’ve been playing him pretty hard – you’ve got to play him like that,” Pietrangelo said. “It takes away his time and space. With a guy like him, [he] can change the dynamic of a game in a hurry.

But we’ve been playing him pretty well so far.”

Morrow out: Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said third-line forward Brenden Morrow would miss the remainder of the series. Morrow suffered

our emotional leader on and off the ice,” defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said. “He logs a lot of ice time. He plays every situation. He plays against the top line. Any time you can get a guy like that back, it’s going to give a boost to the team.”

Paging Marian Hossa: Hawks forward Marian Hossa has missed a couple of opportunities, but has been held in check by the Blues through the first three games. Hossa entered Game 4 with no points and a minus-3 rating. Hossa figures to break out sooner or

uilding a etter Night’s Slee

a foot injury on April 10. He played in Game 1 of the series, sat out Game 2 and played only 8:34 in Game 3.

Bickell not pointless: By this time last year, Bryan Bickell had already scored two goals – including the game-winner in Game 1 against the Wild – and was well on his way to scoring nine goals and 17 points with a plus-11 rating in a glorious 2013 postseason.

Bickell was scoreless with an even plus-minus through the first three games before scoring Wednesday.

for LESS

• Foolish games Heading into Game 4, the Hawks repeatedly mentioned the importance of staying out of the penalty box.

Then, the puck dropped, and the Hawks committed a bunch of penalties. A stout penalty-killing unit bailed out the first four two-minute minors, but the Blues finally made the Hawks pay on their fifth infraction.

• Sharpen up Patrick Sharp was one of the Hawks’ top players during the regular season, but he has had a rocky series against the Blues. He missed a great scoring opportunity when he failed to lift the puck in the first period, and his inability to clear the puck late in the second period led to the Blues’ game-tying goal.

• Giving season The Hawks were too careless with giveaways in Game 4, which served the dual (and dangerous) purposes of providing the Blues with extra scoring chances and limiting the Hawks’ time in the offensive zone. Michael Rozsival, Sheldon Brookbank, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Jonathan Toews all were guilty of multiple giveaways.

STARS OF THE GAME • Patrick Kane The Hawks’ most electrifying player appears to be back at full strength.

Kane was everywhere in Game 4, flying around the ice and showing no signs of a recent knee injury.

• Bryan Bickell Bickell stepped up when the Hawks needed him most. His deflected goal late in the third period forced overtime and marked his first postseason score since Game 6 of the 2013 Stanley Cup Final.

• Jonathan Toews Teamed up with his star teammate, Kane, Toews tallied two assists and frustrated the Blues with his pesky forechecking. He also logged more than 30 shifts.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING “It’s basic hockey, but playoff hockey takes it to another level where all the little things you do, you have to step it up a little bit more.”

Kane’s overtime goal carries Hawks past Blues

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Patrick Kane scored his second goal of the game at 11:17 of overtime, and the Blackhawks beat the St. Louis Blues 4-3 on Wednesday night to even their first-round playoff series at two games apiece.

Kane carried the puck down the left side as teammates Ben Smith and Brandon Saad rushed toward the net, and beat Ryan Miller with a well-placed wrist shot for his 32nd career postseason goal.

Andrew Shaw and Bryan Bickell also scored for defending the Stanley Cup champion Hawks, which blew a 2-0 second-period lead. Jonathan Toews had two assists and Corey Crawford made 30 saves.

Game 5 of the best-of-seven series is Friday night in St. Louis.

Vladimir Tarasenko scored two goals

for the Blues, and Miller finished with 30 stops. Maxim Lapierre also scored his first goal of the series.

Tarasenko’s fourth goal of the playoffs made it 3-2 at 12:26 of the third, but Bickell tipped Michal Rozsival’s slap shot past Miller to tie it with 3:52 left in regulation.

Kane, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP last season, had a shot go off the crossbar earlier in overtime. It was his best game of the series after he missed the last part of the regular season with a leg injury.

The Blues were without captain David Backes again after he was scratched for the second straight game with an upper-body injury. Backes hasn’t played since he absorbed a big hit from Hawks defenseman Brent Seabrook in the third period of St. Louis’ 4-3 overtime victory Saturday.

Seabrook served the second of his

three-game suspension, giving Sheldon Brookbank his second straight start with top defenseman Duncan Keith.

Blues forward Brenden Morrow also was scratched after coach Ken Hitchcock said earlier in the day that he would miss the rest of the series. Morrow missed the final three games of the regular season with a foot injury. He played in Games 1 and 3 against the Hawks.

Playing in front of another loud sellout crowd, the Hawks controlled the first period and much of the second. Bickell had a shot go off the right post with 3:37 left in the first.

The Hawks used its maligned power play to grab the lead in the second. St. Louis defenseman Alex Pietrangelo had his stick knocked away by Toews, who fired a shot that went off Shaw’s right skate and popped up in the air. Shaw then swiped it in with a backhand for his first goal of the postseason at 8:40.

Every game is a block party for Hawks’ Hjalmarsson CHICAGO – A small disc made out of vulcanized rubber is flying at you at 90 mph.

In response: a) You scream in terror as if Justin Bieber were playing an eternal concert in your brain. b) You whimper softly as if you just realized the Cubs have 142 more games to play. c) You calmly and confidently decide to place your body the direct path of that shot.

If you chose “c,” then you are a crazy person or a hockey player or both.

Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson is both.

During his seven-year NHL career, Hjalmarsson has accumulated more bruises than a forest of old bananas. The 26-year-old from Sweden led the Hawks with 157 blocked shots during the regular season and has become even more of a madman in the playoffs with 18 blocks (and counting) in the Hawks’ first-round

VIEWS Tom Musick series against the St. Louis Blues.

Why, Niklas, why?

“I’m just in the moment,” Hjalmarsson said after Wednesday’s morning skate. “I’m just thinking about what I have to do on the ice to help the team and just try to be in the way.”

A small sliver of time passes between when an opponent fires a shot and when Hjalmarsson feels it crash against his skin and bones. In the split-second interim, before the crowd goes crazy and Hjalmarsson limps back to his feet, the Swede’s mind is a place of clarity.

“You’re pretty much just waiting, hoping you get the shots somewhere where you have pads,” Hjalmarsson said. “Otherwise, it’s going to sting a little bit.”

No. A spider bite stings a little bit.

Shampoo in your eyes stings a little bit.

A puck traveling faster than a Porsche on the Kennedy does more than sting a little bit.

“I just try to get the pain away somehow,” Hjalmarsson said. “I don’t really think about what I’m doing.”

Clearly.

“It’s just one of those when you get in on the inside of your knee or outside of your knee right on the bone, it just stings for a minute or 30 seconds, and after that you feel better,” Hjalmarsson said. “Usually it’s just for a minute or two it really hurts. After that, you’re usually fine.”

And I thought I was tough after my recent bout with spring allergies.

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville knows a thing or two about toughness. He sees plenty in Hjalmarsson,

a no-frills player who is under contract through the 2018-19 season.

“Positionally, he’s sound,” Quenneville said. “His anticipation of when the shot’s going to be, he’s really good at it. His proximity to the puck makes it a little bit less dangerous as far as getting hit in other areas.

“He’s got that added protection around the skates, which [without them] can be dangerous with feet problems. I’m sure he has more than his share of bruises on top of bruises. And the willingness to do it is a big factor.”

Does Quenneville ever worry when he sees Hjalmarsson lay down his body to block a shot? Well, in a word, no.

“He’s blocked so many hard shots and key shots that however it’s going to turn out, it’s not going to slow him down,” Quenneville said. “He’s a warrior.”

Good luck finding any of Hjalmarsson’s teammates to disagree.

“We’ve seen [Hjalmarsson] do that so many times before and he always seems to be all right,” Hawks center Marcus Kruger said. “That’s something we all appreciate here.”

It’s something the Hawks will continue to appreciate because Hjalmarsson has no plans to change his shot-blocking ways. Maybe he’s a millionaire and maybe he already has two Stanley Cup rings, but he’s going to keep blocking shots because he knows no other way.

“I’ve always been like that since I was a kid,” Hjalmarsson said. “I always hate to lose and I try to do everything I can to prevent goals being scored when I’m on the ice.

“Usually, that means you have to block a couple shots.”

Just a couple.

SUMMER MOVIE PREVIEW

HOLLYWOOD BETS BIG AGAIN THIS YEAR WITH A SLEW OF SPECTACLES

By JAKE COYLE • The Associated Pres

L

ike jumbo jets on the runway, Hollywood’s summer movies are lined up, ready for takeoff. Will they hit any turbulence?

If the movie business had a “fasten your seat belt” light, it was flashing last summer. A number of high-profile films tanked while onlookers such as Steven Spielberg warned of a coming “implosion” for an increasingly blockbuster-bound Hollywood. A kind of blood sport took hold where – even though the summer’s box office ended up setting a record high – some took glee in the downturns of Hollywood’s roller-coaster ride. “’Blood sport’ is the perfect word for what I saw last year,” Michael Bay said.

This year, he’ll release “Transformers: Age of Extinction” (June 27), a cast makeover for the franchise, and another reboot, “Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles” (Aug. 8). A blockbuster veteran, he’s accustomed to the frenzy of the season.

“They try to take my movies down every time,” Bay says. “The worse reviews I get, the better the box office is. Go figure.”

Box office will be the chief barometer of success for the nearly 50 wide releases to open between May and Labor Day in Hollywood’s yearly rite of superheroes, sequels and spectacle. It’s the time of year when Hollywood bets big on seemingly can’t-miss concepts that nevertheless occasionally miss.

This summer kicks off with “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” (May 2), Sony’s second installment of its second Spider-Man series. With two sequels and two spinoffs (for Venom and Sinister Six) planned, Spider-Man proves the intensive, high-speed nature of franchisemaking in today’s Hollywood: Sequels are now developed by the bushel.

Among the summer’s other biggest potential blockbusters: the monster re-do “Godzilla” (May 16), the time-traveling mutant thriller “X-Men: Days of Future Past” (May 23), the warped fairy tale “Maleficent” (May 30), the animated sequel “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” the Clint Eastwood-directed musical “Jersey Boys” (June 20), the gun-toting gorilla tale “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” (July 11),

the demigod drama “Hercules” (July 25) and Marvel’s outer-space adventure “Guardians of the Galaxy” (Aug. 1).

The steady drumbeat of high-decibel drama will leave little room for error.

“I’ve been the windshield and I’ve been the bug,” says Jon Favreau, the director of the widely popular “Iron Man,” as well as the less successful “Cowboys & Aliens.”

This summer, Favreau takes a break from tentpoles with “Chef” (May 9), an independent film he wrote and directed about a big-name restaurant chef who loses his job and opens a food truck. For Favreau, it’s a happy hiatus from “the politics of marketing and release schedules.”

The biggest summer films will be among the most test-screened, audience-tracked releases of the year, carefully shaped to entertain audiences whose social-media appetites are whetted by months of trailers and sneakpeeks.

Whereas some studios have been pulling back on their production schedules, focusing on fewer but bigger movies, Warner Bros. is running the other direction. This summer, the studio will release a leading eight movies.

“The domestic box office and the worldwide box office are at record heights, and it’s continuing to grow, especially in the international world with China and Russia, in particular,” says Dan Fellman, head of domestic distribution for Warner Bros.

But unexpected events and swift changes in taste have a way of interrupting Hollywood’s increasingly finely planned release strategies.

(Marvel president Kevin Feige recently said he’s plotted its movies through 2028.)

Two anticipated films – “X-Men” and “Magic in the Moonlight” (July 25) – will have to navigate recent sexual abuse allegations of its directors, Bryan Singer and Woody Allen, respectively. (Both have denied the allegations.)

There are few non-superhero certainties in the movies right now, but Melissa McCarthy is one of them. The star of “The Heat” and “Identity Thief” is virtually unparalleled in her ability to almost single-handedly open a movie. On July 2, she’ll debut “Tammy,” a road-trip comedy she wrote with her husband, Ben Falcone, who also directs.

“I feel like every day of my life I’ve been hit with the lucky stick,” McCarthy says.

“There’s not a point where I’m like, ‘This seems normal.’ It’s all crazy. I’m crossing my fingers that it will continue as long as it will.

I’m just going to hang on until there’s a turn in the universe.”

Marvel expands its own all-powerful universe with “Guardians of the Galaxy,” a more comical twist for the comics maker about a gang of oddballs in the farthest reaches of space.

‘QUIET ONES’: MORE CREAKY THAN CREEPY

By STEPHEN DALTON The Hollywood Reporter Paying homage in style and theme to the vintage horror movies of the 1970s, “The Quiet Ones” is the latest stylish shocker from Hammer, the recently reactivated classic U.K. studio imprint.

Mixing creaky haunted-house and exorcism tropes with a nod to the contemporary found-footage subgenre, the film relies on high production values and sense-battering shock tactics to make up for wooden performances and an illogical, silly script.

As an exercise in retro pastiche, it impresses. But as a postmodern genre reinvention, it fails to deliver.

The sophomore feature of Washington-born screenwriter-turned-director John Pogue, “The Quiet Ones” boasts the usual vague claims to be “inspired by actual events.” It draws very loosely on the “Philips Experiment” of 1972, in which a group of Toronto academic researchers tried to prove that ghosts and poltergeists are constructs of the human mind.

Needless to say, the original trials did not involve satanic cults, paranormal love triangles or high body counts, but reality can be disappointingly mundane like that. Print the legend.

Set in 1974, the film stars “Mad Men” veteran Jared Harris as Joseph Coupland, an Oxford University psychology professor. Coupland hires amateur cameraman Brian McNeil (“Hunger Games” regular Sam Claflin) to document his controversial experiments on

“The Quiet Ones” STARRING: Jared Harris, Sam Clalin, Olivia Cooke

PLOT: A university professor and a team of students conduct an experiement on a young woman, uncovering terrifyingly dark, unexpected forces in the process.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and terror, sexual content, thematic material, language and smoking throughout RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 38 minutes Jane Harper (Olivia Cooke), a mentally unstable young woman who appears to be possessed by a diabolical alter ego named Evey. The professor believes Jane is creating Evey purely through her own telekinetic powers. His cuttingedge treatment, bizarrely, involves locking her in a cell-like bedroom and blasting her with loud rock music.

Driven out of Oxford, Coupland and his team relocate to a crumbling country house straight out of the horrorcliche handbook. No other living souls for miles around? Check. Broken phone connection? Check. Spooky attic rooms?

Check. Flickering lights that malfunction on an hourly basis? You get the picture. As the obligatory sexual tension begins to crackle between Brian and Jane – or is it Evey? – shocking revelations come to light about several key characters, and Evey’s poltergeist-like antics turn steadily more sinister. A bloody battle between scientific reason and supernatural evil follows.

Harris clearly relishes playing Coupland as a louche, chain-smoking, libidinous dandy, just a degree away from mad-scientist caricature. In a vintage Hammer production, Vincent Price or Christopher Lee would have owned this role. The professor might be two-dimensional, but the rest of the cast are limited to one each. Claflin’s Brian is a pale cipher of naive goodness, while his fellow researchers Kristina (Erin Richards) and Harry (Rory Fleck-Byrne) are thinly written eye-candy roles. All three are burdened with clunky dialogue and contrived plot exposition.

A charitable horror aficionado might interpret all these clumsy touches as self-referential allusions to Hammer’s semi-exploitation ethos. But they still grate, and sit oddly alongside the film’s high technical polish. Production design is strong, capturing bell-bottomed posthippie fashions of the era. Connoisseurs of vintage British rock will enjoy a wellcurated soundtrack that includes Slade, T-Rex and Hawkwind.

Visual effects are also impressive.

The sound design is striking too, a sonic collage of percussive booms and deafening static roars.“The Quiet Ones” is not very original, nor even especially scary, and its title ultimately proves as meaningless as its plot. All the same, this genteel shocker earns its place in Hammer’s campy canon of superior Bmovie schlock. Creaky and predictable, it should serve as comfort food to the huge and undemanding global fan base for old-school horror, the heavy metal of movie genres.

NIGHTLIFE

‘3 BLONDE MOMS’ RETURN TO RAUE

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com She might be one glue stick away from losing it, but fans have stuck with Joanie Fagan and her “3 Blonde Moms.”

A stand-up comedian before the birth of her daughter Grace in 2001, Fagan noticed the audience leaning in when she turned to mom humor.

“Once you start talking about that, there’s an instant identification with other parents, and I just loved it,” she said. “I stayed home with my daughter the first two years and was inspired to do an uplifting comedy show about what we all go through.”

Fagan, who’s appeared on ABC’s “The Drew Carey Show” and in numerous TV shows, commercials and films, such as Disney’s “Angels in the Outfield,” wanted three completely different moms in the show. She represents the Martha Stewart mom, the crafty mom who strives to be perfect.

“I try to be that mom, but I fall quite a bit short of that,” she said.

She sought the “hot mom,” the mom that seems to have it all together. That slot is filled by Donna Cherry, a former Miss California and opening act for Barry Manilow. Cherry also has appeared on ABC’s “Desperate Housewives,” Disney’s “Suite Life on Deck, Nickelodon’s “Big Time Rush” and other TV series and theater productions.

“She always looks impeccable,” Fagan said. And rounding out the cast is the “feisty mom,” the one who always tells it like it is. Beaumont Bacon, who

“3 BLONDE MOMS” WHEN: 8 p.m. April 25 WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake COST & INFO: A national hit starring, from television, stage and screen, Donna Cherry, Joanie Fagan and Beaumont Bacon, three completely different moms from the cul de sac. This semi-scripted, PG-13 comedy show is full of material about being a mom, having a mom, kids, schools, husbands, neighbors, in-laws and more.

Ticket start at $31. Tickets and information: 815-356-9212 or www. rauecenter.org.

appeared in the film “Jerry Maguire” and in A&E’s “Evening at the Improv,” as well as other productions, takes on that role.

Though other comedians have been part of the act since its beginning about a decade ago and guest comedians sometimes fill in, Fagan, Cherry and Bacon have performed together for the past five years.

The three will take the stage for a PG-13 show at 8 p.m. April 25 at the Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake. A meet-and-greet “momtourrage” follows the show, with tickets starting at $31. A portion of the profits go toward charities of Fagan’s choice.

Here’s more of what Fagan had to say about the act: Kunzer: Why do you think the show has been so successful?

Fagan: I think I filled a niche. A lot of the audience that comes to the show, they’re not necessarily comedy club people. We don’t go out at 10:30 at night, must of us.

I really kind of filled a pocket that wasn’t being filled, and I’ve had nothing but fun ever since. … We all go through the same thing, and I think people leaving the show feel that way.

Kunzer: How has the act changed in the past decade?

Fagan: The show evolves because we are moms, and our lives are evolving. It’s never really the same. As we get older, the audiences seem younger. Our show

is perfect for all people. Even if you don’t have kids, you were a kid of a parent. …

The longer the cast stays together, the better it is. Before we even come out, you get to know us in this funny DVD. The show’s a hybrid really with audio and visual, an original script and the three of us telling our stories. I wish I could have 33 blond moms, because there’s a lot of funny talented moms out there.

Kunzer: Are you still trying to be the perfect mom?

Fagan: I’ve surrendered to the possibility that it’s impossible to achieve. I find that sweats, if you rotate them faster, you can get away with wearing them all the time.

I do think someone should come up with an idea that your pajamas can make the transition to the morning drive to school, so that if you have to get out of the car, you wouldn’t be mortified you were wearing bunny slippers.

Kunzer: What does the future hold for ‘3 Blonde Moms’?

Fagan: I’m putting together a comedy special for Showtime. I’ve also written a movie, “The Adventures of 3 Blonde Moms.” It could be a series of movies, “3 Blonde Moms Go To Vegas,” “3 Blonde Moms Go To a Haunted Bed and Breakfast.’”

• PREVIEW Continued from page 11 Chris Pratt, the “Parks and Recreation” actor, transforms to big-budget action movie star.

“It really felt like being drafted by a Major League \ Baseball team,” says Pratt, who was given a personal trainer and a private gym to prepare. “It was unlike anything I’ve ever done before in terms of their involvement with all of my preparation and just having a huge budget.”

Just as “Guardians” shows Marvel extending beyond its comfort zone, “Maleficent” finds Disney pushing into darker territory.

Starring Angelina Jolie in her first major on-screen performance in years, it’s “Sleeping Beauty” from the villain’s perspective.

It’s helmed by Robert Stromberg, the production designer of “Avatar.” Even for a longtime visual effects veteran, it’s a staggeringly large film for a directorial

debut.

“You enter into this position of directing one of these movies with the idea that there are potentially a lot of people who feel maybe the better story is watching the Hindenburg burn,” Stromberg said.

“What I can do is be the best I can at something, with a lot of great people, and present it, and let the chips fall where they may.”

In between the blockbusters, releases such as Seth MacFarlane’s “A Million Ways to Die in the West” (May 30) and “22 Jump Street” (June 13) will offer comic relief. In “Neighbors” (May 9), Seth Rogen and Zac Efron star as next-door rivals.

“For us, the summer is a treacherous landscape where the rewards can be big, but there’s a lot of competition,” Rogen said.

“One of the hardest things to replicate at home is the feeling of seeing a really funny movie in the theater with hundreds of people. So that’s one thing we have going for us.”

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

BANDS What is the band’s name and how did it get that name?

Jump Taxi. We honestly went to band name generator and that popped up. We had two other names in mind, and so we put out a survey and Jump Taxi won.

Who are the members (full names) and what towns are they from?

Rickey Cornwall – Fox River Grove Justin Lebreck – Cary Matt John – Cary Kevin Speilmann – Cary James Allen – Fox River Grove Kyle Loeffel – Cary What instruments does each of your band members play?

Rickey Cornwall – lead vocals Justin Lebreck – keys, vocals Matt John – guitar Kevin Speilmann – guitar/vocals James Allen – drums Kyle Loeffel – bass/vocals How did the band get started?

Basically, most of us have been close friends since high school and always talked about creating a band. It wasn’t until 10 years later we actually decided to pursue it, and our schedules lined up. We formed just over two years ago. Our original drummer was recently replaced by James [Allen].

Describe the music you play.

We play all the hits, everything from classic rock to new country and everything in between.

What makes your act different?

Our keys [Lebreck] is the owner of Waysound Recording Studios [in Fox River Grove]. He is a very skilled audio engineer and has designed our in-ear system and front-of-house mixes to deliver

high-quality audio for every live show. We often use what we call a quiet stage setup where the actual stage noise is at a minimum so we have complete control of the mixes for the audience. We obtain this by using an isolation box for our drummer. Depending on the place we play, we use this setup.

What’s the strangest thing that has happened to you while performing?

We were at Peggy Kinnane’s [Irish Restaurant and Pub] right at the start of our band and there was this guy that must of been about 70 plus years old, and in the middle of a song, he came out on the dance floor and did the splits out of nowhere.

Why should people come see you (in 50 words or less)?

Not only do we offer a great variety of hits to dance, sing or just listen to, we take pride in our talents and being able to perform the songs the way they should be performed and have fun while we do it.

Where can fans find out more information about your band (official website, Facebook, etc.)

Visit www.jumptaxi.com or www.facebook.com/JumpTaxi.

What is the best thing about being a musician?

Being able to express your emotions in a song. Whether it’s one you wrote or just one that means a lot to you is one of the most freeing feelings in the world.

Pick one: Chuck Berry or Elvis Presley?

Eco-friendly beer fest honors Earth Day

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com It’s beer with a message.

In celebration of Earth Day, Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen has partnered with the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County to host an afternoon sampling of eco-friendly beers and Duke’s “small bites.”

Basically, a variety of beers from breweries throughout the area will be paired with food stations in a buffet style, said Zak Dolezal, general manager and chef for the restaurant.

“It’s a good way to get people to come in and learn a bit about these extra efforts these breweries are doing that most breweries aren’t doing,” Dolezal said. “They can make their buying decisions more educated.”

The Eco-Friendly Food and Beer Tasting takes place from 3 to 6 p.m.

April 27 at Duke’s, 110 N. Main St., Crystal Lake. The cost is $35 a person, which includes a $10 donation to the Environmental Defenders.

Duke’s invited breweries known for their eco-friendly measures, Dolezal said. Among their efforts is the reuse of malt used to make the beers.

Typically thrown away, the malt can be used for composting or making other things, such as pizza dough, he said.

Water conservation methods and organic grain also are being used, with breweries growing their own supplies in gardens, he said. Some have opted to use cans instead of bottles to transport their beer because cans take less energy to recycle than bottles, he said.

And a few are using kegs, which can be re-used, he said.

“We do as much of that as we can,” he said.

Duke’s has switched to LED lighting to conserve energy, has its used oil picked up for use as biodiesel fuel, composts its food scraps, and recycles about 90 percent of its waste, he said.

“We do everything commercially possible to eliminate waste,” he said.

“The things we use within the restaurant are all 100 percent post-consumer recycled. Everything that went into it was also used once.”

The restaurant broke ground this week on its garden, used for its food supply and as a community garden.

“It eliminates a lot of waste. Purveyors don’t have to send all that food across the country and waste all the packing,” he said. “It also tastes better.

“We’re doing all sorts of things.

The big focus obviously is on our food, utilizing local ingredients from farmers that aren’t using pesticides that go back into the groundwater and can harm the earth.”

The beer fest is a way to highlight those efforts and celebrate the efforts of other breweries making strides as well, he said. Representatives from the breweries will be available to provide information.

Among those attending are Stone Brewing Co. with a Cali-Begique beer; Lakefront Brewery with New Grist; Samuel Smith with Apricot Ale; Sierra Nevada with Torpedo; Goose Island with Green Line; Anderson Valley with Boont Amber; and Big Shoulders with Dunkel Weiss.

ECO-FRIENDLY BEER FEST WHEN: 2 to 6 p.m. April 27 WHERE: Duke’s Alehouse & Kitchen, 110 N. Main St., Crystal Lake COST & INFO: Duke’s and the McHenry County Environmental Defenders team up for a sampling of eco-friendly beers paired with Duke’s “small bites.” Tickets: $35 a person.

EARTH DAY CELEBRATION Celebrate the earth with music, hikes, games, crafts, food and drink.

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County has partnered with the McHenry County Conservation District to host an Earth Day Celebration from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 26 at the Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road.

The event includes an opportunity to bring in hard-to-recycle items, such as electronics and small appliances, clean Styrofoam, packing peanuts, re-usable bubble wrap, Christmas lights, luorescent tubes, athletic shoes, VHS tapes, CDs, cassettes and household batteries.

Entertainment includes a drum circle, Off Square Music, Bill Kehl’s “Earth, Music …

Magic!” family concert, guided nature hikes and a puppet show.

More than 20 environmentally themed exhibitors will be on hand, along with food and beverage vendors. Visitors are welcome to bring their own “no waste” picnic lunches.
