Good morning, McHenry County ...

More frustrations with area roadways Wednesday’s column shared feedback of readers who were critical of my Tuesday column on frustrating driving experiences in McHenry County.

Today, I share some feedback from those who have their own frustrations: “After reading your comments in [Tuesday] morning’s paper, the first thing that came to my mind was the speed limit on Route 31 south of Rakow Road. Here, we have a brand new roadway with all the new refinements and we are supposed to travel at 45 mph. Before the new roads, the speed limit was 50, and not so long ago before that it was 55. I don’t think it would be unreasonable or any less safe to travel 55 from the intersection of Rakow through the bypass around Algonquin to the intersection of South Main.”

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

TODAY’S TALKER

Hollywood’s summer, which kicks off with “Captain America: Civil War,” will be a season of struggle: for the box office, for originality and for opportunity. Of the 33 films coming from the major studios, only 12 aren’t a sequel, reboot or based on an already popular property, such as a videogame or best-seller. Story, Play! 12.

LONGWOOD, Fla. – Authorities said a German shepherd helped firefighters locate the two young children of his owners in heavy smoke as a blaze destroyed their home.

The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said the dog, Maxx, helped firefighters find the boy, 4, and girl, 2, Monday night in the Orlando suburb of Longwood. Moments earlier, neighbors who saw the fire spreading called 911, broke windows and helped evacuate the children’s mother, Margo Feaser.

Firefighters then were able to rescue Feaser’s husband, as well as the two children with Maxx’s help.

The dog was treated for smoke inhalation.

CORRECTIONS

• Wednesday’s Our View editorial incorrectly identified Rep. Jack Franks’ current redistricting reform efforts as an older House bill. It is Illinois House Constitutional Amendment 58. Also, it does not need Gov. Bruce Rauner’s signature to get on the November ballot if it is approved by a three-fifths majority of both the House and Senate. House Speaker Michael Madigan has said he supports the measure.

• The high school sports roundup on page B6 of Wednesday’s sports section should have said Crystal Lake South’s Taylor Kassel was 3 for 4, Brittany Baker was 3 for 3 and Samantha Burgard had six RBIs. The Northwest Herald regrets the error.

‘A LIFETIME COMMITMENT’

Area animal shelters look to fit potential pets to owners’ lifestyles

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Ravelle Schwab considers herself a matchmaker of sorts.

People come to her with an idea of their ideal new friend. Fun, loving, playful, good with kids. Perhaps they want a companion who’s independent, or they’re looking for a pal who wants to spend the day cuddling. And maybe being house-trained is important.

Schwab is the volunteer treasurer of Helping Paws Animal Welfare Association, one of several places in McHenry County where residents can adopt a dog or cat. As with all adoption counselors – the matchmakers of animal shelters – it is Schwab’s

job to make sure she’s setting a person or family up with a new pet that will mesh with their lifestyle.

“It’s so easy to fall in love with a puppy face and forget to realize you work 60 hours a week,” Schwab said.

Animal shelters exist in practically ever corner of the county – some offering a range, and others specializing in a certain breed or animal.

While McHenry County’s various animal shelters take different approaches to creating an ideal match between four-legged friends and their potential pet parents, they share a common goal of giving animals a second chance.

At Helping Paws, people can walk through the dog kennel or one of the

cswieca@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Members of the Lake in the Hills American Legion Post 1231 questioned the village’s new video gaming rules at Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting, arguing there should be a provision for not-for-profit organizations.

The regulations approved April 14 included raising the annual per-terminal fee for businesses from $100 to $500. The American Legion post has three terminals, according to the Illinois Gaming Board.

Members argued the hike was unfair to the club because its machines are not open to the public. The post is classified as a 501(c)(19) not-for-profit.

“It’s unfair we have to pay what [bars

are] paying for license fees,” American Legion member Jack Kamin said. “We don’t rely on machines for all of our profits.

We’re keeping our post open. We have a lot of repair to do down there. It is a needed income for us.”

Kamin also said the post gives back to the community, unlike the public businesses that have video gaming.

American Legion members noted there are three posts remaining in McHenry County, and the organization wants to continue to serve veterans.

Village President Paul Paul Mulcahy told the group Mulcahy the new regulations were meant to “keep up with the Joneses” in nearby towns, none of which had stipulations for not-for-profits. He also said the village chose not to add a yearly establishment fees as other municipalities have.

“We kind of followed their lead,” Mulcahy said. “We do some incur some costs having these, and that’s pretty much why we needed to raise this. These things shouldn’t cost the village money.”

Trustees also said they have worked with the organization to provide more leniency on signage, raffle licenses and other items.

“We have been probably more cooperative with the legion than we have several other organizations in the village,” Trustee Stephen Harlfinger said. “We’re asking for you guys to help out and be on an even playing field with all the other establishments that have these devices.”

According to an Illinois Gaming Board report, the American Legion’s terminals brought in $6,253 before taxes in the month of March, the second lowest of the village’s eight establishments with gaming. Trustees said they will see whether there is interest to discuss a potential amendment.

New principal named at Marian

Villont moving on from role; Hampshire woman to begin July 1

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Hampshire woman with 20 years of experience in education will step into one of the top administrative roles at Marian Central Catholic High School as the current principal moves to a new school next year.

The principal at Marian Central since 2008, Barb Villont of Woodstock was appointed April 20 as the new principal and superintendent at St. Edward Central Catholic High School in Elgin, which also is a part of the educational system of the Rockford Diocese, a recent news release said.

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities, memories and relationships I have had in my eight years at Marian Central,” Villont said in the Rockford Diocese release. “I have been blessed. With God’s grace, I look forward to serving, supporting, guiding and leading the St. Edward community into a prosperous future.”

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities, memories and relationships I have had in my eight years at Marian Central.”

Barb Villont

Marian Central Catholic High School outgoing principal

ocese of Rockford teaching junior high at St. Mary School in Woodstock for the past 11 years in addition to her principal role at Marian, is a member of the National Catholic Education Association, Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, and the LeaderDebra Novy ship of Greater McHenry County, the release said.

Taking on the principal role at Mari-

an Central will be Debra Novy, who currently serves as assistant principal at Kennedy Middle School in Rockford.

In a memo to Marian Central Superintendent Andy Edmondson, Novy said that in addition to her time with Rockford Public Schools, she also has taught second through eighth grades and served as a district curriculum writer, team leader and department head in Algonquin-based Community Unit School District 300. Novy said she was looking forward to blending her strengths in education with her experiences with her faith to serve the Marian community.

“I think the two pieces together will allow me to help the students move forward socially, emotionally, as well as academically,” she said.

Novy said she holds a bachelor’s of in business management and economics from Rockford College, a master of arts in teaching from National Louis University, and an administrative certificate from Argosy University.

Novy will start at Marian Central on July 1.

HUNTLEY

Board to vote on plans to relocate creek

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The Village Board will vote this week on whether to advance conceptual plans to reroute a creek bisecting the property at the northwest corner of Route 47 and Jim Dhamer Drive, although some neighboring residents at last week’s Committee of the Whole meeting expressed concerns about flooding.

Representatives of the Horizon Group, which owns the property, first presented plans for the relocation of Eakin Creek in March, saying the current route of the creek is a hurdle for potential large developers.

The body of water currently bisects the property diagonally. In the proposed relocation, the creek would run north along Route 47 and east near a line of Sun City homes at the north end of the property, which gave some trustees pause.

“All those homeowners paid a lot more money than a lot of the rest of us who live in Sun City [to have open space behind their homes],” Trustee Ronda Goldman said. “That’s why I’m

concerned about it.”

To go through with the relocation, the company would need permits from eight different agencies, including from Kane County, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, among others. Engineer Dwayne Gillian from V3 Companies previously said the permitting process likely would take two years.

Gillian told the Committee of the Whole on April 19 that the owners do not have a developer lined up for the property, but conversation centered on the concept of a big box retailer eventu-

ally opening on the property.

“We’re talking commercial, not a business park,” Village Manager Dave Johnson said. “The intensity of use would be similar, I think, to Wal-Mart.”

Although trustees initially advanced the proposal last week, Director of Development Services Charles Nordman noted that a portion of the property currently is zoned for parks and open space, and there is no guarantee that a future request to rezone that property would be approved.

The Village Board will vote at 7 p.m.

Thursday on whether to give the property owners a go-ahead to begin the permit process.

WAUCONDA – Hail as large as a golf ball fell in Wauconda during a storm that swept through northern Illinois earlier this week, the National Weather Service reported.

The 1.75-inch hail damaged multiple vehicles and a skylight in the area of Route 12 and Route 176, according to a report a trained spotter made to the agency.

Meteorologist Kevin Donofrio said the large hail was the result of a supercell thunderstorm that moved over McHenry and Lake counties.

“Typically, when you have your average garden-variety thunderstorms, you will have hail the size of peas, or a

half-inch,” Donofrio said.

Supercell thunderstorms are common over the Plains, Donofrio said, but not over northeastern Illinois. Severe thunderstorms that produce hail measuring up to an inch are more typical for the area, he said.

Hail between the size of a quarter and half-dollar – an inch and 1.25 inches – was reported in Algonquin, the agency said.

Around the same time, hail measuring an inch was reported in Algonquin near Route 31 and Algonquin Road, based on reports from a trained spotter.

The National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center had issued a severe thunderstorm watch Monday that called for hail that could measure up to 2 inches.

Nickel-sized hail was reported in Crystal Lake. McHenry saw hail the size of a quarter and a marble, at an inch and half-inch, respectively.

CRYSTAL LAKE – As part of the YMCA’s national Healthy Kids Day, Sage YMCA will host an event Saturday packed with activities and educational opportunities to improve the health and well-being of children and families.

The event will feature fitness classes, crafts and games from 9 a.m. to noon at Sage, 701 Manor Road, Crystal Lake. Activities include a glow-in-thedark dance party, flower and vegetable planting, and dozens of others. Participants also can be part of the jumping jack challenge, a initiative that encourages YMCAs in the Chicago area to complete a collective 1.5 million jumping jacks.

The goal of the annual event is to prepare kids and families for summer, a time that can see children falling behind physically and academically, Sage fitness and wellness Director Jill

“We want to make sure they are active, healthy, safe and supervised and have enriching activities to do over the summer.”

LOCAL BRIEF Coroner: Hebron man’s death was not caused by crash

HEBRON – A 52-year-old Hebron man who died after his car collided with a tree Monday in a Hebron neighborhood did not die as a result of the crash, an autopsy revealed Wednesday.

Richard Goben’s cause of death was a sudden cardiac event unrelated to the crash, McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski said.

About 3:30 p.m. Monday, Goben was driving south in the 9700 block of

Illinois Street when his car crashed into a tree, Hebron police Sgt. Rich Donlea previously said.

An off-duty firefighter who was the first person at the scene performed CPR on Goben after calling 911, Donlea said.

The Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District transported Goben to Mercy Harvard Hospital, where Majewski said he was pronounced dead at 4:09 p.m.

Helping Paws Animal Welfare Association employee Becca Hoekstra (left) helps beagle mix Luke get acquainted with Megan Solarz last week at the facility in Woodstock.

Continued from page A3 shelter’s free-roam cat rooms. If they are serious about an animal, they must fill out a preapproval form that lets staff know about their previous pets, size of their household, their plans for training, what kind of residence they have, and other information.

The form is reviewed by a committee.

The shelter also requires all members of the family – including any other dog living in the home – to meet the dog in question. Then comes a 24-hour waiting period the shelter deems mandatory before the dog or cat can go home.

It’s a process that, by design, is not like walking into a pet store to pick out an animal.

“Our goal is to make sure we are matching the animal to their lifestyle,” Schwab said. “We’re not here to get (the animals) out the door. We’re here to make sure it’s a lifetime commitment.”

At Animal House Shelter in Huntley, some of the process is the same. All members of the family and dogs living in the home have to meet a dog before an adoption is complete.

Adopters also have to fill out a form that details their lifestyle. However, at the Huntley shelter, that form can be filled out before arriving at the facility, Director Cindy Ritter said. The facility allows same-day adoptions, although Ritter said they are not common.

Of the 200 or so people a month who adopt animals, Ritter said their most common misconception is how many nice animals are in shelters. People forget that situations might arise that cause someone to surrender a perfectly healthy, house-trained animal, she said.

“I think there was an idea out there that shelter animals are damaged goods or they have behavioral issues,” Ritter said. “Nine out of 10 times, that is not

The key to bringing any new animal into a home is patience, adoption officials agree.

Adoption also can be more cost-effective than buying an animal. Adoption fees range from less than $100 to a few hundred dollars and include medical care that otherwise would be in addition to the purchase cost.

Although a perk, the cost didn’t drive Lake in the Hills resident Megan Solarz to Helping Paws in search of a dog. It was the promise of giving a home to a dog that needed one.

Bentley, a year-old beagle mix formerly named Luke, came home with her and her family Friday. He’s had no problem fitting in with the family, something Solarz credits to the scrutiny behind making a good match.

For those who never have adopted an animal before, Solarz said the process can be a life-changing way to find companionship.

“You’re not only changing your life, you’re changing the pet’s life,” Solarz said. “The love of a dog – any pet – is an amazing feeling. It’s unconditional love.”

Hastert gets 15-month prison sentence

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Dennis Hastert, the Republican who for eight years presided over the House and was second in the line of succession to the presidency, was sentenced Wednesday to more than a year in prison in the hush-money case that revealed accusations he sexually abused teenagers while coaching high school wrestling.

The case makes the former speaker one of the highest-ranking American politicians ever sentenced to prison.

The visibly angry judge repeatedly rebuked the 74-year-old before issuing the 15-month sentence, telling him that his abuse devastated the lives of victims and probably would make it harder than ever for parents to trust other adults with their children.

“If Denny Hastert could do it, anyone could do it,” U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Durkin said. “Nothing is more stunning than to have the words ‘serial child molester’ and ‘speaker of the House’ in the same sentence.”

As he did for much of the hearing, Hastert sat unmoving in a wheelchair, peering over the top of his eyeglasses, his hands folded before him.

Earlier this month, prosecutors went into graphic detail about the sexabuse allegations, even describing how Hastert would sit in a recliner in the locker room with a direct view of the

FREEPORT – A 20-year-old northern Illinois volunteer firefighter accused of starting five fires allegedly tossed lit cigarettes to spark at least two of the blazes, according to court documents.

Kenneth Grabow of Orangeville is scheduled to appear in court Thursday for a preliminary hearing on arson and criminal damage to property charges. He remained in the Stephenson County Jail on $250,000 bond Wednesday morning.

When the judge asked if Hastert wanted to make a statement, Hastert pushed himself up, grabbed a walker and moved slowly to a podium.

“I am deeply ashamed to be standing here,” he said, reading from a statement. “I know why I am here ... I mistreated some of the athletes that I

He added: “They looked up to me, and I took advantage of them.”

Hastert pleaded guilty last fall to violating banking law as he sought to pay $3.5 million to someone referred to in court papers only as Individual A to keep the sex abuse secret.

Chicago tourism numbers hit record at nearly 51M

CHICAGO– The number of domestic visitors to Chicago hit a record last year, reaching nearly 51 million.

That was close to a 5 percent increase over the previous year.

An announcement Tuesday by Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office said Chicago was one of just three U.S. cities to rack up more than 50 million visitors.

Emanuel’s office said marquee events helped boost the numbers. Those included the NFL draft and the James Beard Foundation Awards. Both events are returning to Chicago over the coming week. And this summer, Chicago and

him about the massive cash withdrawals. Hastert told investigators that Individual A was making a bogus claim of sex abuse to extort him for money.

“Accusing Individual A of extortion was unconscionable,” Durkin said. “He was a victim (of abuse) decades ago, and you tried to make him a victim again.”

Prosecutors have described the payments as something akin to an out-ofcourt settlement. Individual A wanted to bring in lawyers and put the agreement in writing, but it was Hastert, authorities said, who refused to involve anyone else.

Hastert, the judge said, thought he could use his elevated status to make federal investigators believe his lie.

“If he had told the truth, I’m not sure we would be here today,” Durkin said about Hastert. “Instead, you lied, and here we are.”

While the maximum sentence available for the banking violation was five years in prison, federal guidelines recommended probation to six months in prison. Judges rarely go outside the guidelines and usually do so only when the behavior underlying the crime – in this case, sex abuse – is especially egregious.

In addition to the prison term, the judge also ordered Hastert to undergo sex-offender treatment, spend two years on supervised release from prison and pay a $250,000 fine to a crime victims’ fund.

Widow awarded $22.7M for crash that killed husband

CHICAGO – The widow of a motorist who was killed when a speeding truck slammed into his car while he was stopped in a construction zone has been awarded $22.7 million.

Theresa Swenson sued Missouri-based Hussmann Corp. for the May 2012 death of her husband, Aaron. The truck driver allegedly had drugs in his system when he slammed into Swenson’s car on Interstate 294. A Cook County jury of five men and seven women deliberated just three hours before reaching the verdict late Monday.

Attorney Colin Dunn said Tuesday the settlement sends the message that Hussmann must do a better job of monitoring its drivers. A telephone call to Hussmann for comment wasn’t returned.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gives a thumbs-up after giving a foreign policy speech Wednesday at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Trump struggles to explain ‘America first’ foreign policy

By BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump strained to lay out a clear vision of his “America first” foreign policy on Wednesday, vowing to substitute hard-headed realism for what he called a post-Cold War era replete with U.S. national security failures.

Yet the Republican presidential front-runner outlined no strategy for how he’d make the U.S. at the same time a “consistent” and “unpredictable” force in the world. And he didn’t appear to allay the concerns of U.S. and international critics – Republicans at home as well as Democrats – who see him as unfit for the responsibilities of commander in chief. “ ‘America first’ will be the major and overriding theme of my administration,” Trump declared, echoing motifs from his campaign that is now close to sealing the GOP nomination.

Delivering his lines in a more sober, restrained manner than usual to cast himself as presidential material, the billionaire businessman and reality TV star toned down or omitted several of his most explosive – and oft-repeated – barbs. He made no reference to forcing Mexico to pay for a wall across the nation’s Southern border. He also didn’t revisit the idea of allowing Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia or any other country to develop nuclear weapons for self-defense purposes.

Instead, Trump took aim at President Barack Obama’s embrace of an Iran nuclear agreement, Obama’s failure to eliminate the

Islamic State group and other examples of what he termed a foreign policy of “randomness” and “chaos.” His criticism extended to Republicans, too, assailing President George W. Bush for the Iraq war and mocking a foreign policy establishment of “old people” who have scoffed at his diplomatic and national security credentials.

“It’s time to shake the rust off America’s foreign policy,” Trump told academics, reporters and a smattering of supporters in a Washington hotel ballroom after being introduced by one such old voice of the foreign policy elite – Zalmay Khalilzad, a Bush-appointed former ambassador to Afghanistan, Iraq and the United Nations.

“My foreign policy will always put the interests of the American people and American security above all else,” he said. “It has to be first. Has to be. That will be the foundation of every single decision that I will make.”

Trump’s “new direction” in American foreign policy was vague even by the standards of presidential campaigns.

The U.S. approach to fighting IS will be “strong” under a Trump administration, he vowed, offering no indication of troop levels he might authorize. He intends to ease tensions with Russia while negotiating “from a position of strength,” but he wouldn’t say what that means for U.S. sanctions punishing Moscow for annexing Ukrainian territory. He said he’d balance America’s massive commercial deficit with China “quickly,” without a word about tariff policy or existing trade agreements.

BRIEF Sheriff: Milwaukee 2-year-old fatally shoots mother in back

MILWAUKEE – A 2-year-old boy fatally shot his mother from the back seat of the car as she drove along a Milwaukee highway, sheriff’s officials said Wednesday, less than two months after a Florida mother was shot and wounded in similar circumstances.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office said Patrice Price, 26, of Milwaukee, died at the scene Tuesday morning.

The child, who was sitting in the back seat, picked up a gun that slid out from under the driver’s seat and fired it through the front seat, striking Price, the department said in a statement, citing witness accounts. A .40-caliber gun was recovered from the floor of the back seat behind the driver, along with a security officer’s gun belt belonging to the victim’s boyfriend, sheriff’s officials said.

Price’s father, Andre, told The Associated Press that the car belongs to his daughter’s boyfriend. Officials said the 2-year-old boy was not riding in a car seat in the back.

Paris attacks suspect charged

By LORI HINNANT and RAPHAEL SATTER The Associated Press

PARIS – The lone known surviving suspect in the Paris attacks was returned Wednesday to the city where Islamic State extremists unleashed a night of mayhem and charged with a host of terrorism offenses, raising hopes that he may be able to help French investigators trace the pathways of IS fighters thought to be hiding out in Europe.

Salah Abdeslam was whisked in secretly by helicopter after being transferred from the prison cell in Belgium where he had been held since his capture last month.

His lawyer, Frank Berton, described a “muscular operation” that had caught even the attorney by surprise, causing him to rush to join his client at Paris’ Palace of Justice.

The 26-year-old faces preliminary charges of participating in a terrorist organization, terrorist murders and attempted murders, attempted terrorist murders of public officials, hostage-taking, and possessing weapons and explosives, French prosecutors said in a statement.

Berton said Abdeslam was being

sent to Fleury-Merogis, a massive, high-security prison about 19 miles south of Paris, where he will be held in isolation in a special camera-equipped cell until his next hearing on May 20.

French Justice Minister Jean-Jacques Urvoas said earlier that Abdeslam would be placed in isolation, watched by guards specially trained to deal with “people reputed to be dangerous.”

The return of the last known survivor of the team that carried out the Nov. 13 attacks may help investigators untangle some of the still-unresolved questions about the assault, which claimed 130 lives at cafes, a music Salah hall and a sports stadiAbdeslam um. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the carnage.

Berton told reporters Wednesday that his client “volunteered that he would explain himself at some later date.”

Abdeslam, a French citizen of Moroccan origin, spent four months on the run following the attacks and a month in Belgian custody after being tackled by heavily armed police out-

side his hideout in the Mollenbeek neighborhood of Brussels.

Abdeslam’s precise role in the attacks never has been clear. The Paris prosecutor said he was kitted out as a suicide bomber, but abandoned his plans and fled to Belgium. Abdeslam’s older brother blew himself up that night at a cafe.

It was at the hideout near his childhood home in Molenbeek that Abdeslam ultimately was captured on March 18. His detention may have prompted other members of the Islamic State cell to rush attack plans already in motion.

Four days later, suicide bombers detonated their explosives in the Brussels airport and metro, killing 32 people. Abdeslam had told interrogators nothing about a new plot.

His return to Paris offered solace to victims of the Nov. 13 bloodshed and raised hopes that French investigators finally would be able to trace the pathways of the Islamic State fighters thought to be hiding out in Europe.

“I would like to look him in the eye. If I could even talk to him, it would be important to me,” George Salines, whose daughter, Lola, died at the Bataclan concert venue, told BFM television.

ISTANBUL – A female suicide bomber blew herself up in a historic district of Turkey’s fourth largest city on Wednesday, wounding 13 people, according to officials. The assailant was “aged about 25,” and only fragments were left of her body after the attack in the city of Bursa, said Turkey’s health minister, Mehmet Muezzinoglu.

He said 13 individuals were wounded in the attack, but none of them were in critical condition. Another seven people sought medical attention over ear pain and hearing problems as a consequence of the blast.

Turkey, which is facing growing blowback from the conflict in Syria and renewed conflict with Kurdish militants, recently has witnessed an uptick of such attacks. In the past year, more than 200 people across the country have been killed in seven suicide bombings, including Wednesday’s.

Bursa Governor Munir Karaloglu said authorities still were trying to determine the identity and affiliation of the attacker.

BEIRUT – A military buildup in northern Syria, coupled with heavy fighting and mounting civilian casualties, spells the end of a cease-fire that for two months brought some relief to a war-weary country. The renewed violence is ushering in what could be an even more ruinous chapter in the 5-year-old conflict.

About 200 civilians have been killed in the past week, nearly half of them around Aleppo. There even has been shelling in Damascus, along with a car bomb – both rarities for the capital.

With peace talks in Geneva completely deadlocked, Syrians are regarding the escalating bloodshed with dread, fearing a return to full war and slow destruction.

“There are regime attempts to advance and preparations by (rebel) forces to advance in the other direction.

But the truth is that both sides have no capacity to advance,” said activist Ahmad al-Ahmad, who lives in opposition-held areas outside Hama. “It is attrition, except for the planes, which can target civilians.”

Aleppo is likely to be the focus of the next phase of the war, with both sides

leader of Tajammu Alezzah, a Free Syrian Army faction that has received U.S.-delivered TOW anti-tank missiles.

He said his group, which operates primarily in Hama and Latakia, has sent troops to Aleppo to help the rebels ward off government advances. He described the airstrikes and artillery shelling in the former commercial capital for the last week as “preparatory” work for a major campaign.

Opposition activists also said a substantial redeployment of personnel has taken place recently, as contingents of the Syrian army and allied militias have moved from Palmyra to the vicinity of Aleppo.

“The cease-fire was a cover, because the regime never committed to it since the start of the cease-fire,” Saleh said in a telephone interview from Syria.

Nazeer al-Khatib, an activist who lives on the outskirts of Aleppo, said the city is being choked off by fighting. Government and allied forces are moving in on the main highway to rebel-held areas, blocking the only access to the rest of the country, he said.

Aleppo residents already are moving out of Syria’s largest city to rural areas to evade violence, but also out of fear of getting trapped amid shortages of food and rising prices.

OUR VIEW

Support for fantasy sports bill Back in December, when Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan issued an advisory opinion that daily fantasy sports companies For the record constitute illegal gambling, it was Fantasy sports are not going what she didn’t do away. So regulating for-profit that struck us. fantasy sports businesses She didn’t shut operating in Illinois makes a lot them down.

We’d like to think of sense. it’s because there is a realization that fantasy sports, and daily fantasy sports companies, aren’t going away. Fantasy sports – and the money that comes with it in your fantasy football league – and daily fantasy sports are a part of sports culture. An estimated 58 million people participate in some form of fantasy sports, according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, and regulating that out of existence just doesn’t jibe with reality.

We wanted to see some common-sense regulation in this industry. Our stance long has been against the expansion of gambling in Illinois, but although we agree fantasy sports is gambling, this is a different situation altogether.

That’s why we encourage the passage of HB 4323, also known as the Fantasy Contests Act. The Illinois Gaming Board would oversee the contests and operators who violate the law would face fines. If the gaming board has the power to punish those who violate the law, that’s a big deal. Operators also would be required to pay licensing fees based on their revenue. Players must be at least 21 to participate. Players must also operate with just one account with a company and can deposit a maximum of $3,000 quarterly.

Rep. Mike Zalewski, D-Riverside, proposed the original bill in October and has shepherded it through a few changes. The most notable one this time around is the licensing fees. The largest operators, the DraftKings and FanDuel’s of the world, must pay $50,000 in fees, and renew the license every two years. Operators also must pay a tax that goes toward the Illinois’ Education Assistance Fund.

Our long view on this has always been that fantasy sports aren’t going away. This is a bill that presents an acceptable reality.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Higher education funding bill a loss The nearly unanimous passage of a $600 million higher education “stopgap” last Friday is being lauded as an example of bipartisanship and compromise.

Yes, Democrats and Republicans compromised, but the future of higher education in Illinois was actually further compromised in the process. Friday’s vote was a marriage of convenience between a governor whose commitment to higher education was in question and legislators who want to campaign for re-election this summer without this particular cloud hanging over their head.

Gov. Rauner pushed for this bill’s passage because he claims the $600 million comes from the “dedicated” education assistance fund, a dedicated portion of state income taxes. Interesting. Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno claimed that “every bit of spending in this bill is paid for.” Really? Then why did Illinois Comptroller Leslie Munger say there is only $354 million in that

Education Assistance Fund?

The real losers in Friday’s vote may be those that administer social service programs.

Throughout the budget impasse, Democrats have tried to tie social service funding to that of higher education. Last week’s vote separated the two, temporarily leaving social services as the sole non-appropriated budget item. This should certainly not be a surprise, as these agencies service individuals with the lowest incomes who possess the voices least likely to be heard.

Perhaps lost in the hubbub surrounding last week’s stopgap funding bill is a statement made

by Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis. Last Wednesday, Lewis called Gov. Rauner “a new ISIS recruit.” She continued, “Has Homeland Security checked this man out yet? Because the things he’s doing look like acts of terror on poor and working class people.” As a reminder, this well-spoken public servant is a

graduate of Dartmouth College, a proud member of the Ivy League.

When the well-educated demonstrate incivility, the Chicago children taught by the 30,000 members of the CTU receive a poorer education.

When our well-educated governor (undergraduate degree in economics from Dartmouth and MBA from Harvard) employs fuzzy math, appearing heroic while slashing higher education funding by 69 percent, state students receive a poorer education.

And when our well-educated legislative leaders Michael Madigan (Notre Dame and Loyola Chicago Law School) and John Cullerton (Loyola University Chicago) play along with the governor in placing social services funding dead last, they insure that the poorest Illinois residents continue to receive the poorest access to education.

Last Friday’s vote a win for the state of Illinois? We don’t think so.

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

VIEWS Jonathan Bernstein the candidates and formed opinions about them that can be reflected in the November matchups. The second phase occurs at roughly 100 days before the election, corresponding to the parties’ conventions. Once the nominees are known and the general-election campaigns begin, polls do a good job of predicting the outcome.

The polls this year could be somewhat less predictive than usual, because both nominations remain contested. Some partisans who will eventually support their party’s nominee are working hard against that candidate right now, and are focused on all the reasons to oppose him or her. That is why we can expect the winners on both sides to get a boost once they win because the parties will at least partially unite behind them.

Normally the parties will rally around the winner. That will almost certainly be true on the Democratic side this year. As the Sanders campaign has signaled throughout

the campaign, he’ll be a good team player for the fall election.

On the Republican side, who knows? Trump can’t fully unite the party if he wins the nomination, and it’s possible he’ll prevent unity if he loses. And it isn’t clear that Cruz could unite the rest of the party, if he’s the winner, even without Trump throwing bombs from the sidelines. But expect at least some boost for the eventual nominee anyway. The incentives to unite are strong. There’s no way to know what the Republican Party will look like after its convention in Cleveland.

If you believe, for example, that a Trump Republican Party could be united, then you would expect his favorability ratings to move up sharply from their current very low levels.

Voters could also be swayed by new things they learn about the candidates. In the case of Cruz or Sanders, who are still relative unknowns to the general electorate, believe it or not, voters would likely learn more about how ideologically extreme they are, and this would almost certainly hurt them in the general election.

Trump and Clinton are much bet-

ter known, so new information, on its own, is less likely to change what people think of them.

If you’re looking at polls showing Sanders doing better than Clinton against any Republican contender, just understand that such matchups are inherently untestable. Political judgment is better than polling here.

If you want to look for indicators in the data anyway, trust polling averages, not individual surveys. And focus on the national polling numbers, not the numbers for individual states and the Electoral College.

Recent elections featured a relatively uniform swing across states.

That is, if the Republican gained two percentage points nationally, he also gained two points in swing-state Ohio, solidly Republican Utah and solidly Democratic Rhode Island.

The candidate who wins the popular vote will almost certainly win the Electoral College.

For now – and until October – focus on how the national vote is shaping up. And state polls are a distraction until then.

To the Editor: The McHenry County Board ought to be ashamed of itself. It has now cost taxpayers an additional $25,000 because board members violated Open Meetings Act laws.

The County Board met illegally before passing a nonbinding resolution that denounced unions and attacked the middle class. These public officials utilized taxpayer dollars to make political statements to curry favor with our governor.

The County Board, after being sued for their illegal meeting, now has agreed to pay the attorney’s fees of the plaintiff.

Our County Board is a clown show.

The Republican nominee for chairman, Mike Walkup, is the individual who helped lead the effort to pass this illegal resolution and is directly responsible for squandering our tax dollars.

Instead of lowering our property taxes, Walkup and his cronies again have

wasted our tax dollars on their petty partisan politics. We need to throw Walkup and all the other lawbreakers off the board in November.

The number of science labs increases 25 percent even though MCC’s own numbers show they don’t need more science labs. The number of health labs increases 50 percent when MCC’s numbers show adding one more lab by retrofitting existing space would serve the purpose. The existing labs occupy

In the Democratic and Republican presidential races right now, we’re hearing a lot of claims about electability in general-election matchups.

Ted Cruz says he’s the only Republican who can beat Hillary Clinton in November, while John Kasich is staying in the race because, he maintains, he’s the one GOP candidate who can appeal to swing voters in November.

And Bernie Sanders’s campaign argues that he, not Clinton, would be the strongest general-election candidate.

We’re finally getting to the point where, with seven months left to go, general-election polls begin to be meaningful. Yet they can be misleading. How should we read the early numbers?

Political scientists have found that, historically, polls on potential general-election matchups don’t become more reliable in a steady, gradual arc as the months and weeks go by. Instead, after starting off as essentially meaningless, they ratchet up sharply in two steps.

We are just nearing the end of the first stage, when primary and caucus voters first learned about

Aerospace giant Boeing sees profit decline

By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ

An engine and part of a wing from the 100th 787 Dreamliner to be built at Boeing of South Carolina’s North Charleston facility are seen Feb. 16 outside the plant.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Aerospace giant Boeing Co. saw its quarterly earnings plunge 9 percent compared with last year, with the Chicago-based company posting $1.2 billion in profits.

Revenues were up 2 percent to $22.6 billion, but that was not enough to offset higher costs for Boeing’s products and labor.

Boeing is in the process of reducing its 160,000-person workforce by about 4,500 to help keep its costs under control. The bulk of those jobs – about 4,000 – will come from its commercial aircraft unit.

The company had a backlog of 5,740 commercial jets at the end of March, but orders for new planes have slowed as oil prices have fallen and most airlines have their future aircraft needs mapped out.

While list prices for new planes continue to rise, fierce competition with European plane-maker Airbus and a surplus of cheap used planes has led to deep cuts in the prices actually paid by airlines. Boeing values its backlog

Brad Nettles/The Post and Courier via AP file

at $424 billion. Most of that money is not actually paid until the planes are delivered.

CEO Dennis Muilenburg told Wall Street analysts on a call Wednesday that low oil prices have not changed the company’s outlook toward future jet purchases. He said cancellations or changes to bookings are lower than historic averages.

The company delivered 176 commercial jets during the quarter, down from 184 during the same period last year.

During the first three months of this year, Boeing’s products and labor costs increased to $19.1 billion, up 3.2 percent from the same period last year. It also spent an extra $148 million – or 19 percent – on research and development

as it prepares to roll out a new generation of its popular 737 and 777 jets.

The company also took a $162 million pretax charge on the Air Force’s KC-46 Pegasus Tanker, a midair refueling plane Boeing is building off its commercial 767 jet frame. That is in addition to a $536 million after-tax charge the company took last year on the tanker.

The current one is related to engineering changes into aircraft already built and those in production. Boeing is currently building production aircraft while it is still doing flight testing to speed up the delivery of the delayed tanker program.

There was also a $70 million pretax charge on Boeing’s 747-8 freighter program, which reflects a decline in the value of future revenue on the program. The four-engine jet has been unpopular with airlines and shippers, with just 51 passenger models ordered and 74 cargo versions. The global cargo market has slowed and, with that, so have new jet orders.

Boeing said it had profit of $1.83 a share. Adjusted earnings came to $1.74 a share.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 2016

NEW YORK – Comedian Martin Short and dancer Derek Hough (right) have leapt aboard the cast of NBC’s “Hairspray Live!” on Dec. 7.

The duo will join Jennifer Hudson and Harvey Fierstein in the TV musical based on the cult John Waters movie.

Short will play the husband of Edna Turnblad, played by a cross-dressing Fierstein, who also is writing the teleplay.

Set in 1960s Baltimore, the show concerns the full-figured Tracy Turnblad whose fondest wish is to appear on a local TV dance program. Hough will play the TV host Corny Collins.

Search to begin for Michael Strahan’s successor on ‘Live’

Jordan Peele (left) and Keegan-Michael Kay hold a 10-week-old tabby as they pose for a portrait Saturday to promote their film, “Keanu,” at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Kitten stars of ‘Keanu’ destined for posh Hollywood futures LOS ANGELES – Anyone who’s spent time with a cat might agree with filmmaker Peter Atencio when he says cats are the “15-year-olds of the animal kingdom.”

Dogs are eager to please their owners. Cats couldn’t care less.

But the kittens that play the title tabby in the new action-comedy “Keanu” impressed their human co-stars so much, they’ve earned permanent places in Hollywood.

“They blew away my expectations,” said Atencio, director of “Keanu” and a self-described “crazy cat man” who has three cats, two dogs and a rabbit at home. “They took direction really well.”

“Keanu,” in theaters Friday, tells the story of Clarence and Rell (“Key & Peele” stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele), two mild-mannered guys who pretend to be killer criminals after a gang of thugs steals Rell’s kitten, Keanu.

The gangsters want to keep the kitten – now wearing gold chains and a tiny do-rag – but Clarence and Rell will do anything, including embracing their inner tough-guys, to get him back.

Seven brown tabbies, all rescued from animal shelters, played Keanu. Trainer Larry Payne said animal roles generally require multiple actors (or, in this case, cat-ctors), as each has its own personality traits that contribute to the onscreen character.

Some kittens are better at hitting marks, for example, while others are particularly skilled at sitting still and being adorable.

“There’s the run guy, there’s the snuggle guy, there’s the meow guy,” Key said.

“It’s like assembling a team of bank-robbers,” Atencio added.

NEW YORK – If finding a new partner for Kelly Ripa on her daytime talk show is anything like the process that led to Michael Strahan’s hiring, it won’t be quick.

“Live” went through nine months and 59 guest co-hosts before former football star Strahan was chosen to replace Regis Philbin.

Strahan, who started in 2012, is leaving to work full-time at “Good Morning America” and ABC announced that his last day will be May 13.

The last time around, some of the guest hosts were just filling in, others actively trying out for the full-time job. Among Ripa’s partners were Anderson Cooper, Seth Meyers, Neil Patrick Harris, Jeff Probst, Nick Lachey, Josh Groban, Alec Baldwin, Jerry Seinfeld, Jonah Hill, Sam Champion and Ripa’s real-life husband, Mark Consuelos. Some of those men can be expected to be considered again.

Speculation quickly centered on CNN’s Cooper, particularly after Ripa was photographed Tuesday leaving her home while carrying a copy of the just-released book he wrote with his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt.

“These sorts of things are never by accident,” said Bill Carroll, an expert in the syndication market for Katz Media.

Cooper had his own daytime talk show in 2012, taking him out of the running for Philbin’s job. He filmed the show for two years while continuing his evening work as a CNN anchor. A few weeks after Strahan was

selected, Cooper learned his own show was being canceled.

Cooper appeared with Ripa that fall on Andy Cohen’s Bravo show, “Watch What Happens Live,” and Cohen asked whether they felt like it was an opportunity that got away.

“I still feel,” Ripa replied, looking at Cooper, “like you and I are destined to be together, someday, somehow.”

Cooper declined comment Thursday. Cohen, who has gone on speaking tours with Cooper and is a close friend, was considered another possible Strahan successor but has said he is not interested.

Stevie Nicks surprises ‘School of Rock’ crowd

NEW YORK – Stevie Nicks surprised the audience at Broadway’s “School of Rock” with a riveting performance of “Rhiannon” after the cast took its curtain call.

Backed by the show’s very young band, Nicks brought the house to its feet. Afterward, she had nothing but praise for the young musicians.

“I have Fleetwood Mac, and then I have my solo band that I’ve been playing with since 1980, and now I have one more fantastic band to add to my roster, so I’m very happy,” Nicks said Tuesday night backstage at the Winter Garden Theater.

Nicks also shared her memories of Prince while recording her 1980s hit, “Stand Back.”

She said the idea came to her while listening to “Little Red Corvette” while driving, and she was compelled to call him about it.

Research determines best practices Dear Readers: In yesterday’s column, I answered a reader’s question about why doctors seem to change their minds about the best treatments for medical problems.

I said we doctors keep changing our minds because we’re human. We sometimes believe things that seem reasonable and for which there is some evidence. But then we find out, as more and better research is done, we were wrong.

I gave the example of a treatment called gastric freezing that was widely touted in the 1960s for bleeding ulcers. With further and better research, the treatment proved worthless.

In my professional lifetime, the standards for claiming a treatment is effective have become higher. I can’t think of an example like gastric freezing in the past 30 years. Yet sometimes we are misled by the first evidence of a treatment’s benefits.

The early returns don’t always accurately predict the final outcome.

In an article in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, a research team reported on the decade from 2001 to 2010. They noted several reversals of what were believed to be current best practices. Here are some examples: • Antibiotic treatment of diabetic women with bacteria in their bladder; • Use of bed covers to reduce exposure to allergens in adults with asthma; • Antiviral treatment of vestibular neuritis, an inflammation of the nerve that plays a key role in balance and hearing; • Lowering body temperature during surgery for brain aneurysms; • Placement of stents in narrowed heart arteries in people with stable symptoms; • Treating intensively with blood-sugar-lowering medicines for Type 2 diabetes; • Treatment with a medicine called aprotinin during cardiac surgery;

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • Treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs called COX2-inhibitors (such as Vioxx), particularly in patients with heart disease or risk factors for heart disease; • Placement of tubes through the eardrum (tympanostomy tubes) in children with recurrent ear infections; • Arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee; • Surgery called vertebroplasty for spine bone (vertebral) fractures.

In all of these cases, a reasonable theory had led to relatively small or short research studies that seemed to support the theory. However, larger and longer studies concluded the treatment was of no value.

In other words, many doctors decide on treatments knowing the evidence is not all in. We use our judgment to decide what is best, in the face of what we know is incomplete evidence. For example, I never prescribed Vioxx; I was worried about its side effects. And I did prescribe antibiotics to treat many ulcers for years before that practice was shown to be correct. I got those right. But I prescribed several vitamin and mineral supplements (and took them myself) for years before they were shown to have no value. I got those wrong.

Don’t misunderstand: The great majority of treatments we doctors prescribe are of proven value. But we don’t always get it right at first, and so we change our practice.

am very excited to be proposing soon to the man I want to spend my life with.

My family is excited for me – with one exception. My younger sister, whom I want to be my best woman, says she doesn’t know if she will be able to participate in our wedding because she’s having trouble reconciling her faith telling her same-sex marriage is a sin.

I have explained it will be a civil ceremony with a judge instead of a religious figure and she says this “helps,” but she still doesn’t know if she can be part of it.

I love my sister, and I know if she didn’t love me in return, she wouldn’t be struggling with this; she just wouldn’t participate. She’s racking her brain and her Bible trying to find a way to square her faith with her love for me and my soon-to-be fiancé.

Despite this, I can’t help feeling hurt she views my relationship as a sin she can’t be part of.

If she decides she can’t stand with me in my wedding, I don’t know what to do. If she can’t support my marriage, should I ask her to not come to the ceremony? – Wedding

From Twitter @JacobsHighS

CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake South grad Fahn Cooper sees the journey to the NFL as a race, a winding road where prospects jockey for a spot on one of the 32 NFL rosters. In 2013, Cooper was seemingly stuck in the mud, driving his race in a 1994 Chevy Beretta.

The 6-foot-4, 303-pound offensive tackle had just transferred from Bowling Green to the College of DuPage, a community college in Glen Ellyn. He couldn’t have felt further from his goal with no scholarship, no meal plan and no fancy dorm room.

He washed his uniforms himself and locked his pads, cleats and gloves in the trunk of that Chevy Beretta – a decade-old, two-door sedan turned locker room.

Actually, a one-door.

“It had two doors, but the one door didn’t have a handle,” Cooper said. “It makes me laugh. It was almost like a NASCAR thing.”

Cooper’s mother, Caroline, cursed him out as she drove him to College of DuPage that spring. An illness was keeping her from working, and Cooper’s father had undergone numerous eye surgeries.

“For the first time in my life, neither of my parents were working,” Cooper said. “Instead of being off somewhere on a scholarship, playing football and eating good, I’m at COD just kind of begging for money.

“It’s definitely discouraging. Junior college is one of the most discouraging experiences anyone can have.”

When the NFL draft begins Thursday, Cooper sits with the finish line squarely in his sights.

After a year at College of DuPage, Cooper changed lanes to Ole Miss, where he started all 26 games. He won the Kent Hull Trophy as Mississippi’s best college lineman in 2015 and was invited to the NFL Scouting Combine.

The Pro Football Weekly draft guide ranks Cooper as the 16th best offensive tackle in draft and projects him as a sixth-round pick. Should that projection stand up, Cooper will be drafted Saturday on his 23rd birthday.

PFW draft expert Greg Gabriel, who spent 32 years as an NFL scout and director of college scouting, praises Cooper’s work ethic and leadership.

The Ole Miss product has shown durability by starting every game in his college career except one, which he

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

reluctantly sat out when he failed the ImPACT concussion test at College of DuPage.

“A legitimate tough guy with good strength, but he lacks the athleticism and range to play tackle in the NFL,” Gabriel wrote in the draft magazine.

“Most teams will start him out there because of his length, but I would bet that he will end up inside. His traits are more like a guard than a tackle.”

Cooper said a few teams have talked with him about playing guard, and he’s open to the idea.

“I took no offense to it,” Cooper said. “Playing guard? I’m like cool.

[My opponent is] right there. I like to get after guys and get nasty. He can’t run and dance. He’s got to go through me.”

Cooper has traveled to San Francisco to meet with coach Chip Kelly and the 49ers. He also spoke to a number of scouts at the combine and the Ole Miss pro day. The New York Jets and the Seattle Seahawks are two of the teams that have shown the most interest.

His gut tells him he’ll land in a cold-weather city. (And at more than 300 pounds, it’s a pretty decent-sized

gut). However, Cooper is following the advice of his agent, who said it’s always the team you least expect.

“The way I looked at it is, at the end of the day, everyone is going to have to go into camp and earn their job just like everybody else – the hard way,” Cooper said. “Whether you’re a 10-year veteran or a rookie, they want the best 53-man roster for that season.”

When he gets the call, most likely Saturday, his life will be changed. For many players, their first purchase after signing a pro contract is a car. So, is an upgrade in order for Cooper?

“If I buy a car, it’s going to be for my dad,” Cooper said. “My dad has always talked about buying a Mercedes Benz S series since as far back as I can remember. My dad was talking about getting it for his 50th birthday. My dad’s almost 60 now.”

Well, no matter what Cooper drives to his first training camp, it’s never been an easy ride.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com

solid majority have told me they think the number of blue-chip prospects is between eight and 10, and that doesn’t include Jared Goff or Paxton Lynch.

Because 10 teams in a row never all get it right, it means there should be two or three potential franchise players available at 11.

The Bears can stand pat and get one, they’re in a great spot to trade down a bit and stockpile more high picks from a team that has to come up and get one, or with their extra picks they could be in a good spot to move up a few spots for someone special.

Clearly, they need starters at five-technique on the D-line, safety, running back and tight end, and there is no position they are so good at they can ignore it.

My gut tells me the Bears will trade down in the first round, add some valuable picks and end up with Leonard Floyd, a potential playmaker.

But in doing his best to say nothing in his day before the draft, I think Pace told us plenty.

Asked who Charles Leno’s competition is at left tackle, Pace said, “A couple different options there. One of them is Nick Becton, who we feel good about. Becton is kind of our backup left tackle right now who could compete at that spot.”

In other words, the Bears aren’t exactly desperate anywhere, but they’re thin at left tackle.

If the Bears do pick at 11, the biggest reason could very well be that one of the top tackles, Michigan State’ Jack Conklin or Notre Dame’s Ronnie Stanley, is still available.

If they get one of them, I will applaud Pace some more.

• Write to Pro Football Weekly editor Hub Arkush at harkush@profootballweekly.com or on Twitter @Hub_Arkush,

LAKE FOREST – The Bears’ front office is preparing for Thursday’s NFL draft while players are in their second week of strength and conditioning, Phase 1 of the offseason training program, with a star player missing.

General manager Ryan Pace confirmed Wednesday receiver Alshon Jeffery is training in Florida, as first reported by ESPN. “In a perfect world, would we like him to be here with his teammates and building those relationships? Sure, but I also understand it’s voluntary and that’s the action he’s chosen to take,” Pace said.

Jeffery signed his franchise tender for the 2016 season, which means Pace expects the receiver at Halas Hall at least for the mandatory parts of the offseason, which is the veteran minicamp in mid-June.

“It’s kind of a day-to-day talk as we discuss things with him and his agent,” Pace said.

“Right now, it’s voluntary. It’s kind of his personal choice.”

Jeffery missed seven games last season because of several injuries, and Pace said the Bears have been in contact with Jeffery about his conditioning plan in Florida.

“We’re working kind of together on that. He’s communicating with a plan that he’s doing and it’s stressing how hard

he’s working and some of the biomechanical things that he’s doing,” Pace said. “Talking to him and his agents, I think they understand the importance – as we do – of him having a healthy season. I know that’s in the front of his mind.”

The two sides have until July 15 to agree on a long-term contract, otherwise Jeffery will play 2016 under the one-year franchise tender, worth $14.599 million. Pace and Jeffery’s representation are still talking, “and it’s still been cordial and it’s been productive,” Pace said.

“I think a lot of these franchise players haven’t reported to their teams,” Pace replied when asked whether this was a negotiating ploy by Jeffery. “I don’t know how I view it. I wish he was here, but it’s voluntary, so it is what it is.”

Competition: The word Pace said the Bears are stressing this offseason is “competition,” and that will be heated on the O-line after the offseason additions of interior linemen Ted Larsen and Manny Ramirez.

“Both Larsen and Ramirez are veteran guys who have starting experience and can play guard and center,” Pace said. “So it gives us flex inside.

We were looking for that. So we’re going to let it all sort out and battle out.”

When asked about the new players’ impact on Matt Slauson, Pace said the goal “is to just keep on increasing competition.”

• Thursday, April 28, 2016

I am impressed with Bears general manager Ryan Pace.

One of the cardinal rules of the draft is never try to evaluate one in less than two full seasons, ideally three. That said, last year was Pace’s first, so we have to ask how he did.

He enters this draft with a bonus top-10 pick at a real area of need, Kevin White (he missed all of last season after the Bears took him in the first round), who would absolutely be the first receiver taken this year. We don’t know what kind of player he will be, but it’s like having two picks in the top 11 this year.

Eddie Goldman is a starter and a good player who may prove to be very good. Adrian Amos started every game as a fifth-rounder and if he takes a step forward this year he will be a good football player as well. Jeremy Langford had a decent year for a fourth-round pick and is about 50-50 to be a solid starter.

There are reasonable doubts about third-rounder Hroniss Grasu, even though he started eight games last year, and Tayo Fabuluje remains an intriguing mountain of a man with good feet.

If White, Goldman, Langford and Amos are productive starters for the Bears for the longterm, it was a really good debut for Pace.

The additions of Danny Trevathan, Bobby Massie, Jerrell Freeman and Akiem Hicks in free agency this year are getting solid reviews, as well, and if they are all the quality starters they are projected to be for the next few seasons, including Pernell McPhee, Pace will have turned over 41 percent of his starting lineup before his second draft, and he may even have legit playmakers in White, Goldman, Trevathan and McPhee.

Best of all, Pace has set himself up really well to swing for the fences in this draft.

I asked Pace how many franchise players he thinks there are in the first round this year, but he wisely chose not to answer. If he had, he would have tipped his hand as to how far the Bears might have to trade up to get one or how far down they could go and still snag one.

Among the sources I respect the most, the

McHenry County Amateur to return in June

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Mike Haase figured he was the ideal person to revive the McHenry County Amateur Golf Tournament, which was not played last year for the first time since 1984.

Haase teaches and does club fittings at the Golf Academy at Terra Cotta in Crystal Lake and also is McHenry County Junior Golf Association tournament director. His extensive experience running tournaments, which he has done since 2001 with the MCJGA, should serve well with picking up the county

amateur.

The tournament will be played at McHenry Country Club on June 24 and 25. Tee times will start at 10 a.m. both days, and registration fees are $125.

The tournament was started in 1984 by the Northwest Herald, which ran it until a few years ago. Crystal Woods Golf Club then ran the tournament, although last year a county amateur was not held.

Haase called the Northwest Herald and Crystal Woods owner John Craig about taking over.

“Everybody was great,” Haase said.

“I decided to take it over and had everyone’s blessing to do it.”

Golfers interested in competing can register on the tourney website, mchenrycountyam.com, which has all the pertinent information.

There will be one major change with the format. Haase will go back to the tournament’s earlier years and flight golfers after their first rounds. For several years, competitors were pre-flighted according to handicaps.

“My rationale is occasionally you get players who have a handicap and don’t match what they shoot,” Haase said. “Or you could get a guy who won the championship flight who tied with the A flight champion and they had a playoff for

overall champion.”

Haase knows there could be some players who play less than their ability on the first day to try to win a lesser flight. He doesn’t see that as a major issue.

“I know some friends, the way it was structured, who wanted to be in the championship flight and had a 3.2 handicap and the cutoff was 3.1,” Haase said. “Everything is based on the merit system. If you play well, you’ll get in the championship flight regardless of handicap. I preferred that format.”

Haase directs 19 MCJGA events each summer.

OAKLAND, Calif. – Klay Thompson scored 27 points with seven 3-pointers, and the Golden State Warriors rolled into the second round of the playoffs without injured superstar Stephen Curry, thoroughly embarrassing the Houston Rockets, 114-81, Wednesday night in Game 5.

Draymond Green added 15 points, nine rebounds and eight assists for the Warriors.

James Harden scored 25 of Houston’s 37 first-half points on the way to 35 points, but the Rockets had no chance with a one-man show against the deep defending champions.

Trail Blazers 108, Clippers 98:

At Los Angeles, CJ McCollum scored 27 points, Damian Lillard added 16 of his 22 in the fourth quarter when Portland pulled away, and Portland capi-

talized on the absence of injured Chris Paul and Blake Griffin to beat Los Angeles in Game 5 of their first-round series.

The Blazers are up, 3-2, and could close it out Friday in Portland. If Game 7 is needed, it would be Saturday back at Staples Center.

Maurice Harkless added 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Mason Plumlee had 10 points and 15 boards for Portland.

Hornets 90, Heat 88: At Miami, Courtney Lee’s 3-pointer with 25.2 seconds left put Charlotte ahead to stay, and the Hornets beat Miami in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference firstround series.

Nashville earned only the third playoff series victory in team history – the first since 2012, and the second over Anaheim.

Islanders 5, Lightning 3: At Tampa, Florida, Shane Prince scored twice during a three-goal first period, and John Tavares had a goal and an assist in New York’s victory over Tampa Bay in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series.

Taking up where he left off in helping the Islanders advance beyond the first round for the first time in 23 years, Tavares assisted on Travis Hamonic’s goal that erased an early deficit and scored his sixth postseason goal on a blistering shot from the left circle to give New York a 4-1 lead in the second.

The last time the Cubs and Sox both made the playoffs was 2008, when both were bounced in the first round – the Sox by Maddon’s Tampa Bay Rays.

The only other time both made the playoffs the same year was 1906, when the Sox beat the Cubs in the World Series.

“I think it’s great for the city,” said Maddon, who professes longstanding respect and admiration for Ventura. “I know he went through a tough gig this past spring training, and I thought he handled it great. I’m really happy for him and their success.”

If you’re looking for an excuse to believe the two Chicago teams can sustain a summer-long ride toward the same fall destination, just look at the pitching staffs that rank 2-3 in the majors in team ERA – both anchored by early Cy Young frontrunners in Chris Sale (5-0, 1.66 ERA) of the Sox and Jake Arrieta (4-0, 0.87 ERA) of the Cubs.

“They’ve made some really nice ad-

ditions this last season,” Maddon said.

“They’ve done some really nice work.

And they have outstanding pitching.

That’s why they’re good.”

On the other hand, if you’re looking for an excuse to flush the whole idea before May, just look at how that fast-starting 1973 season turned out.

Both teams slumped to 77-win seasons, both finishing fifth in their divisions.

Which offers just another reminder how seldom both teams are even good at the same time. In Chicago’s previous 115 seasons as an American League-National League city, the Cubs and Sox have both finished with winning records only 20 times – only seven since the 1930s.

Check back in July for a better idea what to expect this time around.

That’s when the Cubs and Sox play a pair of games in each park over a fournight stretch, July 25 to 28.

“If we could both sustain this kind of play, it could make for a very interesting summer,” Maddon said. “I think you live in this city, and you have that stuff going on, what could possibly beat that?”

• Thursday, April 28, 2016

Don’t look now, but the only two big-league Chicago pro sports teams still playing in late April also happen to be the two teams leading their respective leagues early in the race for October.

Anybody up for a rematch of 1906?

Too soon? Maybe. At least by a few months.

But the competitive synchronicity the Cubs and White Sox have Joe Maddon pulled off barely three weeks into the season already is a rarity.

The Sox (16-6) beat the Blue Jays Wednesday, 4-0, and the Cubs (15-5) game against Milwaukee was rained out, giving the two Chicago teams the best records in their respective leagues.

The last time that happened this late in the season was May 29, 1973, when the Cubs were 29-18 and the Sox 26-14.

“Diggin’ it,” said Cubs manager Joe Maddon.

His team has been widely considered a World Series favorite since spring training.

The same can’t be said for the Sox, who stumbled to a fourth-place finish last year, endured the strange Adam-and-Drake-LaRoche follies during spring training, and opened this season with several new pieces and a lot to prove.

“Where we’ve been the last couple years, just for us – not necessarily for [the Cubs] Robin – you’re happy for our Ventura fans that we can play a better brand of baseball,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “You hope there can be meaningful games later in the year and make the playoffs.”

And if that eventually leads to a collision course with the Cubs a few months from now? Ventura knows firsthand what that’s like, as the New York Mets’ third baseman during the 2000 Subway Series against the Yankees.

8 WHITE SOX 4, BLUE JAYS 0

Pitching and defense lead confident White Sox

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

TORONTO – This head-turning start to the White Sox’ 2016 season has been about pitching and defense – four pitchers combined on their fifth shutout Wednesday night – and just enough hitting.

“If you’re getting hits when they really, really count, your confidence level is going to be higher,’’ catcher Dioner Navarro said after the Sox completed their first sweep of a series in Toronto since 2005 with a 4-0 victory over the Blue Jays Wednesday night. “We’re going to take this into the next series, and keep rolling, man. We have a great team here, and I think we have a great shot of doing great things.’’

Jose Quintana pitched six innings of scoreless ball with 10 strikeouts and Navarro, his batterymate, hit his first triple in four years to drive in two runs and break a scoreless tie as the Sox won for the sixth straight time and eighth time in their last nine games. Their 16-6 record is the best in the American League.

“They have a lot of confidence right now,’’ manager Robin Ventura said of team. “It started in spring training with a veteran group who understands how to play. We’ve been getting the hits at the right time and when you get veteran guys who know how to play but care about each other – they can get on each other, they can hug each other – it’s a

“They understand what it takes late in a game and they’ve been getting it done.’’

Quintana (3-1, 1.47 ERA) got it done by striking out 10 Jays, leaving after throwing 104 pitches to get through six innings. He allowed four hits and let the Sox’ stellar bullpen do the rest.

Left-hander Zach Duke and Nate Jones pitched perfect innings in the seventh

and eighth before closer David Robertson added a perfect ninth. Robertson struck out two and Duke one.

Navarro’s triple, which took an odd carom off the right-center field wall, came with two outs in the seventh against Jays starter Marco Estrada (12), scoring Melky Cabrera and Brett Lawrie. Austin Jackson followed with an RBI triple to make it, 3-0, and Avisail Garcia drove in the fourth run with a single in the eighth.

The Sox had been held to one hit through six innings, but they have scored 23 runs scored in the seventh inning this season. All four of the Sox runs came after two outs.

The Sox’ lead the major leagues in shutouts, and the five are the most by a Sox team in its first 22 games since they had six in 1973.

Quintana was “unbelievable,’’ Navarro said.

“He was throwing a lot of strikes. He was getting ahead of his hitters with all of his pitches -- fastball, breaking ball, everything. He kept going after hitters.’’

“It was a great matchup,’’ Ventura said. “Q, any time he got in a tough spot he got a little more on it. He probably reached back and grabbed something else, and Estrada took a little something off. Both guys pitched great but we got the hits when we needed them.’’

The bottom of the order did the heavy lifting for the second straight night.

“We still haven’t been hitting,’’ Navarro said. “[Jose] Abreu is in a funk a little bit. [Todd] Frazier is hitting in the low .200s, but we are getting timely hitting, which is the most important thing.’’

The Sox also backed Quintana with defense. Right fielder Adam Eaton continued to shine at his new position with two standout plays, and 37-year-old shortstop Jimmy Rollins went into the hole to make one in the eighth inning.

The Jays (10-13) were swept at Rogers Centre for the first time since 2013.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Gonzalez sent back to AAA Charlotte, Webb recalled

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

TORONTO – The White Sox returned Miguel Gonzalez to AAA Charlotte Wednesday, two days after the 31-yearold right-hander made a spot start against the Blue Jays.

Right-hander Daniel Webb was recalled, keeping the Sox pitching staff at 13 – probably till the end of the week – but adding a reliever.

Gonzalez, signed to a minor-league contract before Opening Day, has a chance to return at some point as a rotation option. His performance Monday was not impressive, though, as he allowed 11 hits and five runs over 51/3 innings. It took him 94 pitches to get through the first four innings, although he did finish with two scoreless innings and six strikeouts on the night. The Sox rallied to win the game 7-5.

“If we get into a bind and we need

somebody, he’s definitely a guy that you have confidence of bringing back in here to do that,’’ manager Robin Ventura said.

Webb, 26, struggled during spring training but pitched to 2-1 record with a 3.38 ERA over 102/3 innings at Charlotte.

He had two saves, five strikeouts and zero walks in seven relief appearances with the Knights.

“Probably because I’m just going after guys throwing strikes with the mindset of ‘who cares if they hit it?’ ’’ said Webb, who is 7-5 with a 4.54 ERA and 90 strikeouts in 93 career appearances with the Sox from 2013-15.

The Sox (16-6) are in a stretch of 19 consecutive days without an off day and will try to get by with catcher Hector Sanchez, outfielder Jerry Sands and infielder Tyler Saladino as their only bench players before Monday’s off day.

Webb joins a bullpen that led the major leagues with a 1.39 ERA including a 0.83 mark over the last eight games going

into Wednesday. Matt Albers (0.00), Nate Jones (0.93) and closer David Robertson (0.96) were the ERA leaders.

All the way back

Even though Matt Albers has stepped up as a reliable seventh and eighth inning bullpen arm, having right-hander Jones back as the primary guy to get the ball to closer David Robertson has been big for Ventura. Jones, who returned from Tommy John surgery last August, owned a streak of eight scoreless appearances going into Wednesday. The Sox aren’t loaded with power arms in the pen, but Jones provides a big one.

“It doesn’t feel much different besides the preparation part, doing all my exercises for my back and elbow to make sure it doesn’t follow down the same path,’’ Jones said. “I’m still following the same game plan, attacking the strike zone, trying to get ahead early and putting them away late.’’

NOTES Helpful read: I recently ran across

an incredible book. It is Vin T. Sparano’s “Complete Guide to Camping and Wilderness Survival” published by Universe Publications, a division of Rizzoli.

I’m not really a camper nor am I a survivalist, so why did this book impress me so much? It’s a treasure trove of information for anyone who spends time in the outdoors. It is chock full of great tips for fishermen and hunters, as well as for campers and hikers.

It contains great information about fishing and outdoor cooking that is as complete as you’ll find in any book. Its section on first aid was enlightening and easy to understand. Its section on weather was highly informative. I definitely recommend Vin T.

Sometimes you just get the urge to go fishing, you know? Carpentersville’s Nick Wechet woke up Tuesday morning and his fiancée said to him, “Come on.

Let’s go fishing.”

It wasn’t the promise of glorious weather, to be sure. It was cold out with a forecast of clouds, wind and colder temps. Weather aside, the engaged couple headed to the banks of the Fox River.

You don’t need a super-duper muskie boat to catch a trophy fish. Sometimes the shore fishermen do as well as the boaters. Wechet proved that fact.

The 23-year-old Wechet, who grew up in Lake in the Hills, and his fiancée, Nicole Malkowski, are engaged to be married in 2017 and enjoy fishing together. Although Wechet owns a fishing boat, this trip was to be from the banks of the Fox. “I know this is going to sound crazy, but this was the first time we had gone out fishing this season, in all honesty,” he said.

They positioned themselves below the dam and, after about 30 casts around 10 a.m., Wechet got a tremendous hit.

He was throwing a Devil Head spoon on 80-pound braided line when a big muskie decided to have a meal. It hit the spoon close to shore in fairly shallow water. It felt the pressure and began to run.

“It didn’t take long to bring the fish in,” Wechet said. “I had no net, but I was able to grab the fish from the water when I worked it close to the shore line.”

Pictures were quickly taken. Unfortunately, Wechet had no measuring instruments, neither tape nor scale, but he estimated the fish at 50 inches. It was the biggest fish Wechet had ever caught.

The fish was quickly released back into the water to be caught again another day. The thought of keeping the fish to become a trophy for Wechet’s wall was never considered.

“After I let it go, I sent pictures to some friends and they told me I was crazy for letting it go,” he said. “I didn’t really know what to do, but I figured it would be to have respect for the fish and to let it go. I had to respect the fish.”

Wechet is an avid fisherman and has been since he was 5 years old in Lake in the Hills, where he lived for most of his

10 MARATHON RUNNING

1 weekend, 2 marathons

Marengo H.S’s Randall, Pomykala plan ambitious running schedule

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Running carries with it a captivating nature for Erin Randall.

The 34-year-old Crystal Lake woman is drawn to running great distances. For Randall, it’s a healthy addiction.

“I like the challenge and the thrill of it,” Randall said. “To just see how far you can go.”

Randall plans to run four more marathons between April 10 and May 22 to reach her goal of 50 marathons by her 35th birthday July 8. That, in itself, is quite a feat. But it gets better, or crazier, when considering what Randall, who has worked as the athletic trainer for Marengo High School’s athletic teams for the past decade, will do Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday, she will drive to Louisville, Kentucky, with her best friend, Erin Quinlan, and run the Kentucky Derby Marathon. After the race, she will head to Cincinnati and meet Marengo teacher Bob Pomykala. Those two will then run the Flying Pigs Marathon on Sunday.

Neither Randall nor Pomykala, who will run the Illinois Marathon in Champaign on Saturday with his twin brother, Bill, have run marathons on consecutive days. The closest both have run marathons was a week apart, which might seem like a month compared to their upcoming races.

There are challenges and thrills that athletes seek, but people at the high school must think these two are crazy.

“They just shake their heads,” said Pomykala, who teaches art.

“Erin’s a better runner than I am. I just do it on pure grit. She’s a great training partner and she’s a lot of fun to run with.”

Randall will run alone Saturday, then have Pomykala, who taught her art in high school, to run with on Sunday.

“It’s all about smart running.

It’s all about proper pacing on that Saturday,” Randall said. “You don’t want to run that race too fast and you don’t want to run it too slow.

It’s all about the time on your feet, recover as well as possible, hydrate and refuel and get off my legs. The next day, just mentally focus. If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll

Randall graduated from Marengo in 1999 and attended Eastern Illinois University. She graduated in 2004 and went to work for Marengo Physical Therapy. When she was Erin Schultz in high school, she competed in track and field, throwing the shot

put and discus.

While at Eastern, as an athletic training major, she took up running.

She had a professor who ran marathons and was intrigued. She ran her first marathon in 2005 and has averaged 4.5 a year since then. She ran only two the year she was pregnant with her now 4-year-old daughter Ainsley.

Randall has run marathons with her husband Josh, with Quinlan, with Pomykala, with other friends, and she has run alone.

“They always say, you won’t ever forget your first,” Randall said.

There’s so many I won’t forget because I’ve shared them with so many different people, other people’s first or a friend who broke the five-hour mark. Helping everyone achieve their goals is pretty cool. I like working with the high school kids and inspiring them, showing them you

might have this big goal and it’s not impossible. The marathon is a big thing to undertake and with the right training, almost anyone can do it.”

Pomykala, 54, was a competitive wrestler in high school and college.

He has run 66 marathons, running his first in 1983. His fastest time, around age 24, was 3:13.

“I run 5 hours now,” he said. “I’m slow, fat and old.”

Randall thinks her profession helps her as a runner.

“I always tell my athletes there’s a difference between being sore and being injured,” Randall said. “Running marathons, you become quite sore at times. It helps me relate to the kids from the standpoint of I might be 34, but I’m still an athlete myself.

“I run all distances – right now I’m striving to run my 50 marathons.

I’ll keep running marathons.”

She came to us from a rescue in Arkansas. This sweet southern girl loves everyone she meets. Our staff says she is loving, enjoys getting petted, loves to run in the yard, can't wait to go on walks and is good with other dogs. She was adopted but returned recently because she was too active for their lifestyle. They did say that she was a fantastic dog. She loved car rides, enjoyed cuddling after long walks or playtime in the yard and liked to snuggle in bed with them. This playful girl does know some commands like sit, down and stay. She is still a puppy so additional training and housetraining will be necessary. Like most girls she enjoys getting pampered and she does give good kisses. We feel a fenced yard with at least a 5 foot fence would be great for her.

She might enjoy another dog so they can spend time playing together.

Glenn Chelius’ Batboat will be on display May 1 at the 19th annual Bob Blazier Run for the Arts in Crystal Lake.

Batboat to debut at Raue’s Bob Blazier Run

FIND MORE LOCAL EVENTS @

PlanitNorthwest.com

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

When owning a Batmobile became unlikely, Glenn Chelius of Crystal Lake set his sights on a Batboat.

A fan of the the 1960s “Batman” television series starring Adam West and Burt Ward and a self-described “big kid at heart,” Chelius for years wanted his own Batmobile, eyeing one on display at the Volo Auto Museum.

But the price and the functionality – it’s a twoGlenn Chelius seater, and “you’re limited to where you can drive it around and who can go with you” – deterred him a bit.

“My thought was I’ve got some boating experience because my dad used to have a boat. I have three teenagers. I live right by Crystal Lake. Maybe I should give up on the Batmobile and look at something more affordable and fun to have right here in Crystal Lake,” he said.

And so what began as a 1992 Sea Swirl 188 Spyder has become Chelius’ Batboat.

The boat is a replica of the 1966 Batboat, which first appeared in a 1966 “Batman” movie starring West and Ward and was used in seasons two and three of the television series.

It was designed by Crystal Lake Marine Services in Woodstock to stay within the style of the original, but also with longevity and use in mind.

With work beginning on the boat in late 2013, it’s finally ready for use this summer, Chelius said. The boat and Chelius will be on site May 1 at the 19th annual Bob Blazier Run for the Arts in Crystal Lake. A benefit for the Raue Center for the Arts, the 5K and 1-mile run/walk start at

the Raue, 26 N. Williams St. at 8 a.m. At a cost of $40 a person at www.rauecenter. org, capes and masks are given to every 5K participant and sidekick masks to every 1-mile participant. Those who participate are encouraged to dress as their favorite superhero.

Chelius, a magician who helps organize an annual magic show fundraiser at the Raue, suggested the boat’s debut at the race because it fit perfectly with the theme. Top finishers will be given Batman bobbleheads. It’s also the 50th anniversary of the 1966 television show.

Like the Batboat in the series, Chelius’ Batboat features a signature bat fin off the aft with a red beacon light, bat air scoops on the bow, captain and co-captain torpedoshaped windows, as well as the metallic flake blue paint with flames on the hull and bat decals on the fin. To make the boat more usable, it includes bucket swivel captain and co-captain seats and the addition of two jump seats.

Retro blue, gray and white marineapproved upholstery was used for the seats and interior. A Bat Trailer was never seen in the movie or television series “so we created what we thought it might look like if you were to see it towed behind the Batmobile,” Chelius wrote in a description.

“That old-school ‘Batman’ was just something I used to love watching,” said Chelius, who intends to take the boat out on Crystal Lake, as well as elsewhere throughout the area.

He’s also excited to simply have it anchored on Crystal Lake during events such as concerts in the park.

Still, he said his children, 19-year-old Celine, 17-year-old Cole and 15-year-old Christian, aren’t that impressed.

“They think it’s a little silly,” he said.

“They just like the idea we’re going to own a boat.”

Tickets for David Sedaris, performing at 7 p.m. Oct. 26 at the Raue Center For The Arts in Crystal Lake, are now on sale.

Tickets start at $45 at www. rauecenter.org, 815-356-9212 or at the box office at 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake.

With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, Sedaris is one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers, slicing through cultural euphemisms and political correctness as a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.

Sedaris is the author of “Barrel Fever” and “Holidays on Ice,” as well as collections of personal essays, “Naked,” “Me Talk Pretty One Day,” “Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim,” “When You Are Engulfed in Flames” and his most recent book, “Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls,” each of which became an immediate best-seller.

Sedaris also is the author of the New York Times best-selling collection of fables entitled “Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary.” His pieces appear regularly in The New Yorker and twice have been included in “The Best American Essays.” There are 10 million copies of his books in print, and they have been translated into 25 different languages.

Sedaris’ original radio pieces can be heard on the public radio show “This American Life.”

Sedaris’ latest audio recording of new stories is the 2009 release, “David Sedaris: Live for your Listening Pleasure.” Sedaris has been nominated for three Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album.

REVIEWS Jeff Cook

Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” arguably is considered the greatest American play of the 20th century. Willy Loman’s epic struggle to come to terms with the chasm between his hoped-for and actual lives has been analyzed endlessly for its poignant and probing insights into the meanings of success, family and the American dream.

The play itself is dense and packed with emotion and asks of audience members to bear witness to the systematic collapse of a family over the course of the last 24 hours of Willy Loman’s life (Not a spoiler. The play was written in 1949 and is called “Death of a Salesman,” after all). For any theater to undertake this Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning drama requires vision, courage and commitment. All of the pieces have to work – acting, direction, lighting, set, costumes – or none of it works.

This production of “Death of a Salesman” by Williams Street Repertory, a professional nonprofit theater company, gets it right. Way right. The production reminds you again of what makes theater great.

Edging toward retirement, Loman (Frank Gaughan) despairs his life has not played out the way he’d intended. Instead of retiring to the bosom of his family in a nice home, respected and well-liked by everyone around him, Willy finds himself at the end of his rope in a small house in Brooklyn where everything is, literally and figuratively, falling apart.

Tired, rejected, overwhelmed by responsibilities, wounded by secrets from his past and betrayed by the very concepts he grew up believing in, Loman finds himself estranged from his children and on the verge of doing the unthinkable on the last night of his life.

As Loman, Frank Gaughan delivers a tour de force performance that is riveting and heart-wrenching. Bone-deep exhaustion breathes from his character’s pores, and his pendulating emotions (from love and hope, to rage to despair and back again) are mesmerizing.

Shannon Mayhall portrays Loman’s wife, Linda, and inhabits the character with love, dignity and a restrained rage that is breathtaking in its subtlety and intimacy. James Knight shines as eldest son, Biff, whose story arc is perhaps the brightest in the play, and Knight captures perfectly the restlessness and torment Biff struggles with in trying to reconcile the past and the present in order to survive the future. Sean Quinn rounds out the Loman family as Happy Loman, breathing life to a man-child

“DEATH OF A SALESMAN” WHEN: Through May 15 WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake COST & INFO: In this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning drama, playwright Arthur Miller examines how far one man will go to provide for his family and achieve the American dream. Schedule: 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 3 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $32.50-$38.50. Tickets and information: 815-356-9212 or www.rauecenter.org. who is the living embodiment of Harry Chapin’s classic, “Cats in the Cradle.”

Ryan J. Duncan, Sarah Weinstein, Mark R. Mahallak, Chris Davis, Joel Bennett, Ivan Ewart, Kate Wilford and Amanda Flahive complete the cast. Taken as an ensemble, the actors present a master class in acting.

Along with character, pacing drives the story, and kudos to director Richard Kuranda – who had a friendship with Arthur Miller for years and considers him a mentor – for delivering a story that allows the actors to create characters that live in the smallest moment

while moving along without a moment of downtime. Kuranda also is responsible for some truly ingenious staging on an elaborately simple (if you think that’s an oxymoron, wait until you see it) set designed by William Schmeil.

Theater is an act of creation in which many different parts must work to create a whole, and, in the case of “Death of a Salesman,” the costumes, lighting and sound all work together to immerse the audience in the home and environs of the Lomans.

Although the play has a running time of more than 2 hours, 30 minutes, with an intermission, the time goes by so quickly you won’t even notice it. You won’t be able to take your eyes off the stage. William Street Repertory’s “Death of a Salesman” is the most powerful and complete performance I have seen in years, and I give it my highest recommendation.

Don’t miss it.

HIGH STAKES

SUMMER MOVIE PREVIEW

Originality may be hard to find in season of reboots

By JAKE COYLE

The Associated Press

H

ollywood’s summer, which kicks off with the fittingly combative “Captain America: Civil War,” will be a season of struggle: for box office, for originality and for opportunity.

More than ever, the big tent of summer moviegoing is held up by a forest of tentpoles stretching from May to August.

The swelling size of the summer movie has turned the season into a game of survival. The possibility of bombing lurks as an ever-present threat, testosterone often dominates in front of and (especially) behind the camera, and few non-sequel, non-reboot films dare to compete.

Box office and stress levels run high in equal measure.

“It’s a different landscape than 2002 when the first ‘Bourne’ movie came out,” said Matt Damon, who returns to the franchise in Paul Greengrass’ “Jason Bourne” (July 29). “It’s like a high-stakes poker game that I don’t want to be in. The swings are just so brutal. Ben (Affleck) just opened ‘Batman v Superman’ a few weeks ago. Everyone around him and in his life was nervous about it. You feel less a sense of exultation when they do well and more a sense of relief because the bets are so big now.”

This season is particularly risk-adverse. Out of the 33 films coming from the major studios, only 12 aren’t a sequel, reboot or based on an already popular property, such as a videogame or best-seller.

See SUMMER MOVIES, page 13

Melissa McCarthy (from left), Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig and Leslie Jones appear in a scene from “Ghostbusters,” opening nationwide July 15. The movie was met by a backlash from some corners of the Internet that took offense to a new, female-led version starring four of the funniest comedic performers around.

• SUMMER MOVIES Continued from page 12

Take comedy and horror out of the equation, and you’re left with just a handful of originals. One of them is Jodie Foster’s “Money Monster” (May 13), a thriller about a brash financial news pundit taken hostage on the air, starring George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Foster’s film is doubly rare.

She’s one of only two female filmmakers helming major studio releases this summer.

“It’s interesting to me that the studio system still sees women as a risk,” Foster said. “There are movies that are part of the system we may not be that interested in embracing. I think that more women in the film business will look slightly different than it’s looked in the past for men.”

Paul Feig’s “Ghostbusters” reboot (July 15) was met by a backlash from some corners of the Internet that took offense to a new, female-led version starring four of the funniest comedic performers around: Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. With that lineup, Feig relishes heading into “the big guns of summer.”

“To put out a movie like this in the heart of tentpole season when it’s all these big movies out there, I find it very exciting because a lot of these movies are very male driven, even though they have some great female characters in them,” Feig said. “But to have this be about four incredibly funny people who just happen to be women, I think that’s really exciting.”

This summer includes a number of anticipated sequels (“Finding Dory,” “Star Trek Beyond,” “Alice Through the Looking Glass”), the expected superhero films (“Civil War,” “Suicide Squad,” “X-Men: Apocalypse”) and some less likely resurrections (“The Legend of Tarzan,” “Ben-Hur,” “Independence Day: Resurgence”).

Recent history is clear: These will be among the summer’s biggest hits. Last summer (the second biggest ever with nearly $4.5 billion in box office), seven of the top “Finding 10 movies were Dory” remakes, (June 17) sequels or came from a comic book. Ditto for four of the top five movies so far in 2016.

“COMPADRES” and his Lonely Island trio will be among the few to brave the sequel-strewn seas with something fresh: their celebrity flame-out parody “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” (June 3). Does he take any pride in being one of the few to push an original movie into summer?

“Um, yeah, we’ll find out,” said Samberg, laughing. “It’s heavy duty. We were looking at the schedule and we were like: Holy crap. There’s stuff that’s coming out the week before and the week during us and the week after us, and they’re all really big movies.”

One of the fathers of the summer movie season, Steven Spielberg, also will be in the mix with “The BFG” (July 1), his Roald Dahl adaptation that reteams the director with Mark Rylance. The recent Oscar-winner plays the titular giant in a motion capture performance.

“It took five years to get made because, of course initially, many studios said: ‘Giants eating kids? I don’t think so!’ That edge of Roald Dahl, that frightening edge, I hope is still in there. There’s a kind of marvelous, frightening aspect to the fantasy as there is in the Tolkien books or the Grimm fairy tales that children can handle,” Rylance said.

Family audiences will be sought after by “The Secret Life of Pets,” “Ice Age: Collision Course” and “Pete’s Dragon.” One much smaller film, “Alice “Life, Animated” Through (July 8), will hope the Looking to sway moviegoers Glass” while simultaneously (May 27) reminding them of the power of movies.

McHenry County theaters showing ‘Purple Rain’ NORTHWEST HERALD At least two McHenry County theaters are showing Prince’s “Purple Rain,” the 1984 quasi-autobiographical rock musical that became a cult classic.

The movie is now showing at Regal Crystal Lake Showplace Stadium 16 and will open Friday at AMC Lake in the Hills Theatre 12.

Starring the late pop star, found dead Thursday at the age of 57 at his Paisley Park home in Minnesota, “Purple Rain” earned Prince an Academy Award for Best Original Song. The accompanying album also produced two No. 1 singles – “When Doves Cry” and “Let’s Go Crazy” – and went platinum 13 times over.

Rated R, the movie tells the story of

Kid (prince), a Minneapolis musician on the rise with his band, the Revolution, who escapes a tumultuous home life through music. While trying to avoid making the same mistakes as his truculent father (Clarence Williams III), the Kid navigates the club scene and a rocky relationship with a captivating singer, Apollonia (Apollonia Kotero). But another musician, Morris (Morris Day), looks to steal the Kid’s spotlight – and his girl.

It is scheduled to be shown at Regal Showplace in Crystal Lake at least through May 5. For showtimes and ticket prices, visit www.regmovies. com. At AMC 12 in Lake in the Hills, times are listed through May 4. For showtimes and ticket prices, visit www.amctheatres.com.

Prince was a one-man band, a friend to many others Prince’s old band

By HILLEL ITALIE

The Associated Press On his own, Prince was a revolutionary recording artist and one-man band.

But the nearly-40 year career that ended with his death Thursday was hardly a private party. The other half of his musical legacy were his many collaborations, whether joining Stevie Wonder on stage in Paris for a spontaneous jam of “Superstition” or writing future hits such as “I Feel for You” and “Manic Monday” and giving them to other artists.

In an industry where collaborations with other artists and credits are negotiated as heavily as world treaties, Prince followed only one credo: the love of the music.

“Oh yes, he loved helping other people,” said his friend and former fiancee Sheila E., “and helping people by saying, ‘Hey, here’s a song you might want to do or like, I think this fits you, or, you know, come into the studio and see if we can work together.’ ” In recent years, he boosted singer-songwriters such as Judith Hill, Lianne La Havas, Esperanza Spalding and Liv Warfield, and recorded singers such as Rita Ora. Kendrick Lamar was among the many who traveled to Paisley Park for his famous late-night jams.

Among the tributes to Prince over the past week were stories of his generosity and inspiration. On her Facebook page, Erykah Badu shared a litany of memories: “That time Prince was your rhythm guitarist then sent you the picture. The time Prince was so gracious to come to your club in the hood of South Dallas and play for 4 hours into the night.”

Ken Ehrlich, the veteran producer of the Grammy Awards, told The Associated Press about luring Prince to the 2004 ceremony, where he memorably would team up with Beyoncé on “Purple Rain” and “Baby, I’m a Star.”

“I had asked him on several occasions before. I had never had much success,” Ehrlich said. But as soon as he heard he would perform with Beyoncé, Prince replied, “I’ll do it,” the producer said.

“In one day, he had laid out the entire medley” that he and Beyoncé would perform, Ehrlich said.

“He put his guitar down, and he looked at me [with] a ‘look what I did’ smile,” the producer recalled. “It was like a school kid showing off for the teacher.”

Singer Kandace Springs told the Associated Press she was contacted by Prince a couple of years ago through Twitter

after he saw a YouTube video for her cover of Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.” Skeptical at first the encouraging notes really were from Prince, she was on a plane to his home in Paisley Park within days and was asked to close his 30th anniversary concert for “Purple Rain.” At the time, she said, she was being encouraged to take on an urban hip-hop sound, but she considered herself more of a jazz artist.

“He spoke straight into me, ‘You need to be who you are, not be what some other people tell you,’ ” she recalled.

Prince was so prolific a songwriter demos or B-sides became hits for others, often by design. Cyndi Lauper and Mitch Ryder covered “When You Were Mine,” an aching love song originally on the flip side of Prince’s single “Controversy.”

Prince wrote Sheila E.’s signature hit, “The Glamorous Life,” while an early song he worked on, “I Feel for You,” became a smash for Chaka Khan. “Nothing Compares 2 U” was Sinead O’Connor’s biggest hit. For the Bangles, he wrote one of their biggest hits, “Manic Monday,” under the pseudonym “Christopher.” “[Prince] really liked our first album,” the Bangles’ Debbi Peterson told MTV UK in 1989. “He contacted us, and said, ‘I’ve got a couple of songs for you. I’d like to know if you’re interested,’ and of course we were.”

Sometimes, just a phone call was enough. In the early 1980s, Stevie Nicks was working on her solo album, “The Wild Heart.” The Fleetwood Mac singer had heard Prince’s “Little Red Corvette” on her car radio and loved it so much she decided to write an answer song, “Stand Back,” which became a Top 5 hit in 1983. While in the studio, she came up with a crazy idea: Call Prince himself to help out.

“He was there in 20 minutes...” Nicks told MTV.com in 2009.

plans to reunite for ‘some shows’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS – Prince’s old band is reuniting for some live shows following his death.

Members of the Revolution made the announcement in a video posted online Tuesday.

Five band members appear in the video, sitting on a couch. Guitarist Wendy Melvoin said the group’s members decided, after spending “three or four days together” grieving Prince’s death, they would like to “come out and do some shows.”

She said the group wants to let fans know “we’ll be there soon,” but gave no details.

None of the members could immediately be reached by The Associated Press for comment.

The Revolution gained fame as Prince’s band during his hit 1984 movie “Purple Rain.”

“FROM BACH TO ROCK”

Classical, rock music combine in ‘Bach to Rock’ at the Opera House

This isn’t his mother’s cello.

Born into a family of classical musicians in Communist Romania, Petar Kecenovici was destined to play the cello. It’s the way he played it that caught his family by surprise.

He made the cello rock.

“Why should all the guitar players have all the fun?” said Kecenovici, who formed the band Classical Blast in Chicago in 2010.

With a unique style, the band melds classical and rock music, basically rocking out to music usually heard in symphony halls. Classical Blast will perform the “From Bach to Rock Show” at 7:30 p.m.

April 29 at the Woodstock Opera House.

Also featuring Kashmir: The Led Zeppelin Band, the show costs $28 to $38 at 815-3385300 or www.woodstockoperahouse.com.

While dutifully learning his required classical pieces growing up in a family of choirmasters and concert cellists, Kecenovici eyed the electric bass as he listened to rock bands such as Nirvana, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Radiohead, U2 and The Police.

“Eventually, I came to the conclusion I really wanted to be a little more creative and not just sit there and play music that others wrote,” he said. “I wanted to get into the rock territory a little bit.”

Before moving to Chicago, he performed in Florida with classical artists such as Andrea Bocelli and rock bands such as Sting and Cheap Trick. But his goal always was to form his own band.

With Classical Blast, he brings together David Kav as the band’s vocalist and guitarist, drummer Dave Kelly and Bill Syniar

Listen to the Unprintable podcast Petar Kecenovici of Classical Blast talks the band’s unique style and the upbringing that got him where he is today. Plus, our look at this summer’s blockbusters and “Game of Thrones.”

Subscribe to our Unprintable podcast on iTunes or find it on Sticher at http://app. stitcher.com by searching for “Unprintable.” on bass. Syniar played with the rock band Survivor.

The band’s latest album, “Metamorphosis,” features mash-ups of classical and rock music, such as the album’s first single, which mixes Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight” with a classical piece by Handel called “Sarabande.” The single has gotten some radio airplay.

Another single combines Radiohead’s “Creep” with Bach’s “Cello Suite No. 1” and “Ave Maria.” The band next plans to release a Christmas album Kecenovici describes as “rocky symphonic,” featuring little-known Christmas songs.

With “Bach to Rock,” Kecenovici said, “We want to show people that these instruments, like the violin … or the cello, you can do so much with them and really fit them into any genre. In this case, we do Bach since he’s pretty much

Along with concert halls, the band often performs at schools to both expose children to classical music in a new way and encourage those who play it.

Many have never been to a classical concert, but they’ve all heard rock, Kecenovici said.

“We show them it’s really cool to play violin. It’s really cool to play cello. You can do all these things with that,” he said. “At every show, we have sometimes parents or the kids, they come up and say, ‘Oh wow, we never thought that was possible,’ and so they go back to their instruments, and they start practicing. They start learning. They get all enthusiastic to learn again.”

Special Preview Day Friday, April 29 10:00am - 6:00pm

Firearms, Military, Hunting & Coins Over 225 quality firearms-best collection we've ever sold!

H.H. Asquith, the British prime minister from 1908 to 1916, said, “The War Office kept three sets of figures: one to mislead the public, another to mislead the Cabinet, and the third to mislead itself.”

A bridge bid that is made without the normal high-card requirements might backfire when it misleads partner. But it could work wonderfully if it deceives an opponent.

In yesterday’s column, West passed as dealer. When South ended in four spades, West took the first three tricks with high diamonds.

Then South knew that East had the club queen; otherwise, West would have opened the bidding. Today, West opened one diamond -- do you agree?

Although 10 high-card points would not normally justify a one-level opening bid, there was a strong case with this hand. West was naming a powerful suit, he had no rebid problem (a key factor), and if he could find a fit with partner, his void would surely prove beneficial.

After one diamond - pass - one heart, South was right to overcall one spade. He was not quite strong enough to double first, then to show his spades, which typically would require at least 18 high-card points.

North jumped to four spades, getting to the 10-trick with a 10-card fit. But with 5-3-3-2 distribution, this was an overbid.

West cashed three top diamonds.

When East discarded the heart king (top of touching honors as he was not winning the trick), West shifted to the heart nine.

Understandably, declarer drew trumps, then finessed in clubs through West because he had opened the bidding. Here, that resulted in an unlucky down one.

High quality collection of Smith & Wesson Handguns including Model Pre Model 15 K38, 22A-1, 12-3, 14-4, 15, 29-3 “The Silhouette”, 25-5, 27-2, 36, 37, 38, 39-2, 41, 39, 59, SW9E, 5906,61-3, 629-1, 686-1, and other early models, some of the Smith & Wessons would be hard to upgrade!!!
