RISING COST

OF RENTING

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com A greater portion of families’ incomes are going toward rent as property owners – many of which are now institutions outside the county – take advantage of a market flooded with renters, local experts say.

The trend, a combination of several factors, has been seen across the country. The average household spends 29.5 percent of their income on rent compared to the historical average of 24.9 percent, according to a recent analysis by the real estate website Zillow.

Families forced into short sales or foreclosures during the recession and years since have turned to renting out of necessity. With an increased demand for rentals and to compensate for bad credit scores, landlords are able to charge higher rent.

The country’s growing number of 20- and 30-somethings strapped with college debt and skeptical of home ownership have added to the trend.

“Supply and demand,” said Jim Haisler, chief executive officer for the Heartland Realtor Organization.

“Since there’s a larger demand, rents

Hebron Village President John Jacobson, for years, had been viewing pornographic photos and videos through his work email and forwarding them during work hours, sometimes to colleagues, before he was fired from McHenry County College in February 2013.

The new details regarding the college’s investigation came from documents obtained by the Northwest Herald last week after the newspaper challenged MCC’s response to a Freedom of Information Act request made in February.

In addition to laying out in 15 bullet points the school’s reasons for firing Jacobson, the documents show the origins of the investigation, which began Jan. 17, 2013, in response to Jacobson’s arrest for possession of crack cocaine two days earlier.

In February, MCC responded to a Northwest Herald FOIA request for information surrounding investigations of Jacobson by providing the school’s termination letter and the agenda and minutes from the meeting he was dismissed. But the school claimed several other materials, including a letter from MCC President Vicky Smith to Jacobson summarizing the school’s investigation of him, were exempt.

They also denied the existence of a campus police report specifically referenced

Additional supply has, to a degree, followed additional renters, Haisler said.

In many cases, the additional supply comes in the form of houses purchased by large corporations like Invitation Homes, a Dallas-based company

that offers 30,000 rental homes across the country, according to its website.

Such institutions buy foreclosed homes and short sales, fix them up and rent them out, said Colleen Clavesilla, a broker with Century 21 Affiliated

LOCALLY SPEAKING

By JIM HEINTZ and PETER LEONARD The Associated Press MOSCOW – European military observers who were held more than a week by insurgents in eastern Ukraine walked free Saturday, with Kiev insisting the release proves Russia is fomenting unrest in Ukraine – as Moscow touted the insurgents as courageous humanists.

The latest battling narratives came a day after dozens of protesters died while trapped in a horrifying fire

in Odessa, hundreds of miles away. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the deaths show Ukraine’s acting leaders “are up to their elbows in blood,” while authorities in Kiev blamed pro-Russia provocateurs.

The incidents highlight the intractability of Ukraine’s crisis, in which pro-Russia insurgents have seized government buildings in about a dozen cities and towns in the east and Ukrainian forces have tried to regain control in a limited military offensive. Looming on the other side of the border are tens of thousands of Russian troops, whom Kiev fears are waiting for a pretext to invade.

No free pass on racist speech Whenever our culture suffers a media storm based on ignorant remarks from some quasi-celebrity, I cringe – not only because of the comments but because the collective concept of the First Amendment will soon take an intellectual beating.

There are sometimes consequences when people say stupid things made public, regardless of how they reached the masses. Some guy on a reality show about a duck call company gets suspended. A rancher who became a cable TV poster child loses his FOX news pulpit when it turns out that he’s a racist. An NBA owner loses privileges as a millionaire jerk and probably will eventually lose his team.

Redneck TV wasn’t even my thing when “The Dukes of Hazzard” first aired. I don’t watch Sean Hannity, nor do I seek ranchers with persecution complexes, cheeky plumbers or any other strawmen to understand the news. And I’m not much of an NBA fan, especially when it’s still hockey season.

My expectations are low for people I’ve never met in positions that don’t require great understanding of humanity, and I’m quite certain that racism and bigotry are alive and well in 2014.

So I’m numb to the shock that racist people say racist things. What happens next, though, is another concern. It’s when people, and not even necessarily people who want to defend ignorant comments, shout that First Amendment rights of the person who made the comments were violated by the actions of some private body or corporation.

The comments are as predicable as a St. Louis Blues playoff exit: “So much for the right to free expression.” “Does the First Amendment even exist anymore?”

“What about free speech?”

But here’s what the First Amendment says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,

VIEWS Kevin Lyons or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press ...”

Here’s what it doesn’t say: “The NBA shall make no rules ...” “The Discovery Channel may not abridge the free exercise thereof …” “You have the right to say whatever monstrous thing you think and your employer must suffer for your ignorance.”

It’s not all public relations, either.

The market has some impact. Just a hunch that “Duck Dynasty” doesn’t draw huge ratings from minorities and gay people.

We can argue about other constitutional matters or matters of employment law in some of these instances, but they have little to nothing to do with the First Amendment.

The First Amendment – in fact, the entire Bill of Rights – is about what the government cannot do to individuals. It is designed to protect us from government. It has no impact on the court of public opinion or even mob rule.

It’s kind of important for journalists who fight against the government’s infringement on the First Amendment daily. However, journalists understand that the public’s reaction to free expression is another matter entirely.

While nowhere near a shock jock, occasionally as a columnist I’ll push buttons or balance on the edge of politeness to stir discussion. Sometimes readers are offended by particular language or even my entire point of view on a specific subject. That goes with the territory and is to be expected. If you have an opinion that no one disagrees with, it’s not really a column – it’s a greeting card or text for

a poster with pictures of kitty cats.

On the flip side, if I brayed like a jackass with ignorant, racist comments, it wouldn’t be the government I’d be worried about. I’d worry about readers and my employer who 1) wouldn’t allow it to be published and 2) would start my car for me while typing my termination papers if I wrote or said those kinds of things anywhere.

I would then have the right (and the free time) to live in a mountain shack and scrawl my manifesto, or get a blogspot account where I could rant in digital paranoid bliss and neither the government nor my employer could stop me.

When people complain about the erosion of First Amendment rights, in addition to being wrong, some seem to really be pining for a simpler time when they could say ignorant, racist things without fear of reprisal. There was no Internet, no Twitter, no instant media delivery mechanism.

What they’re really upset about is backlash and bitter that they’re still on the wrong side of history. What they learn is that the vast majority of people in 2014 don’t care for racist or bigoted points of view.

I don’t long for a time when it was OK to say hateful things. The First Amendment allows it, but after that you’re on your own. Those still lingering in racist and ignorant delusions should be heard and shouted down to face the consequences they deserve.

The First Amendment is alive and well. Unfortunately, so is racism, but human decency can, should and will have a tremendous impact on both.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question The Northwest Herald invites you to voice your opinion. Log on to www.

Have you started landscaping or gardening yet?

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Steve Paska waited two weeks for Washington’s famously fickle cherry blossoms to emerge, then spent two hours searching for the perfect spot beneath the canopy of fluff. He lured his girlfriend there on the pretext of buying a painting of the blooms. Then he surprised her by dropping to one knee and proposing.

She said “yes” so fast he forgot to pull out the ring.

Go to any wedding celebration this nuptial season, whether in a ballroom or backyard or church basement, and it’s a good bet you can trace the big day to a similar start, with different flourishes.

If a man is marrying a woman somewhere in America, odds are that he proposed to her.

That may seem obvious, but consider this: Threefourths of Americans say it would be fine for the woman to do the proposing, in theory.

In practice, only about 5 percent of those currently married say the woman proposed, and the figure is no higher among couples wed within the past 10 years. Attitudes actually seem to be trending the other way, an Associated Press-WE tv poll shows.

Young adults are more

Steven Paska (right), 26, of Arlington, Va., asks his girlfriend of two years Jessica Deegan, 27, to marry him April 10 as cherry blossom trees in peak bloom line the tidal basin with the Jefferson Memorial in the background in Washington, D.C. Deegan said yes to the surprise marriage proposal.

You don’t want to miss out on that moment.”

While Paska, 26, believes female proposals are OK – after all, one of his sisters proposed to her boyfriend – he wanted to declare his love and dedication the traditional way.

“I think if she’d gotten down on one knee and asked me the question,” Paska said, “I would have called for a timeout.”

In the survey, nearly half of single women who hope to get married someday say they would consider proposing.

cided together that they wanted to marry, she said. Still, Deegan was thrilled that he made it official with a grand romantic gesture on April 10.

“It’s kind of like the moment you imagine your whole life,” she said. “I’ve seen that in movies. I’ve read that in books. You don’t want to miss out on that moment.”

That traditional moment has survived radical changes in U.S. marriages over the past half-century. People are marrying older; brides are more likely to be already supporting themselves. It’s become commonplace to live together first, even to have children before marriage. Some men are proposing to men and women to women, now that one-third of U.S. states allow gay marriage.

But the boy-asks-girl proposal still reigns, updated to a public art form in Facebook and YouTube videos that feature flash mobs or scavenger hunts or proposals while skydiving or swimming with dolphins. “Destination” proposals are trending, too, for men who want a California beach or the Eiffel Tower as the setting.

Among the newer unions, 83 percent said the man proposed.

That may reflect today’s emphasis on creating a good proposal story to share with others.

Quinn program had man with conviction in charge of millions Worker pleaded guilty to writing bad checks in ’99 The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn’s office said Saturday it is launching an internal review after a published report that a worker hired to oversee millions of dollars in the governor’s anti-violence program had a prior conviction for a financial crime.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Friday that it obtained court records showing Benton Cook III pleaded guilty in 1999 to writing more than $3,700 in bad checks. Cook, the husband of Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown, was hired by a not-for-profit group called Chicago Area Project to work on the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative, which Quinn started in 2010 to help stem city violence and eventually shut down.

The Cook County state’s attorney’s office and the U.S. Justice Department are already examining the program, which a state audit found had

numerous problems from mismanagement to questions about expenditures. The scrutiny comes at a bad time for the Democratic governor, who is up for re-election in November in one of the most hotly contested gubernatorial races in the country. Republican state lawmakers have said the program amounted to a political slush fund fed by tens of millions of taxpayer dollars.

Following the new revelation by the newspaper, Quinn’s office promised an internal review into Chicago Area Project’s various grants with the state, which amounted to $22 million in 2009 and 2010, according to the SunTimes. The organization has worked with the state for decades.

“We’re troubled by the fact that Mr. Cook was even on the payroll at this organization, and there are serious questions that need to be answered,” spokeswoman Brooke Anderson wrote in an email. “We’ve launched an internal review into existing grants to this organization. The whole issue needs to be thoroughly examined.

We have zero tolerance for mismanagement at any state agency.”

Hillary Clinton accepts Order of Lincoln honor

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton returned Saturday night to Illinois, where she was born and raised, to accept the state’s top honor from Gov. Pat Quinn.

The former first lady, who is mulling whether to run for president in 2016, was one of seven people receiving the Order of Lincoln medallion during a ceremony at the Field Museum.

During her speech, she fondly remembered her childhood in Park Ridge, and trips to the beach in Chicago, the city where she was born.

“I am so grateful for the experiences that I had growing up here – the quality of education and opportunity that I was given, the support that I saw at every turn,” said Clinton, 66. “To have the chance to come and be with so many of the people who have made this state such an exceptional place, in honor of the greatest

president who has ever served our country, is very special indeed for me.”

Order Chancellor Thomas Johnson described Clinton as “perhaps the most famous woman in the world.” He praised her for advocating for health care reform, her campaign for president and her work as the country’s chief diplomat.

In a statement released before the ceremony, Quinn said Clinton “has personified the best of Illinois and the United States” through her decades of service.

He cited her work championing human rights, democracy, civil society and opportunity for women.

Clinton, born in Chicago, ran for president in 2008 and served as U.S. senator from New York and secretary of state under President Barack Obama.

Although she hasn’t said whether she’ll run in 2016, she is considered a likely dominant front-runner should she jump in.

UI scientists to review toxic waste alternatives The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAMPAIGN – University of Illinois scientists are wading into the dispute over a plan to store toxic waste at a landfill located above an aquifer supplying drinking water to more than half a million people in central Illinois.

Scientists at the Prairie Research Institute will explore alternatives to the plan by the Clinton Landfill to dispose of cancer-causing PCBs at the site, about 40 miles west of Champaign. Options could include incineration, and chemical and biological methods, The News-Gazette reported.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is reviewing the plan, and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has taken action to try to stop it. The company that owns the landfill has said it would install a liner to protect the Mahomet Aquifer. Several Chicago suburbs are searching for places to dispose of PCBs, manmade chemical compounds used in a wide range of industrial and commercial products that were outlawed in the U.S. in 1979.

alternative that’s environmentally sustainable, that helps our neighbors to the north but also doesn’t pollute and otherwise jeopardize our water supply in the process,” state Sen. Chapin Rose told reporters Friday at a news conference announcing the research.

Gary Miller, associate executive director of the research institute, promised a thorough look at other options.

“Part of the problem now is that landfills are generally the cheapest and easiest alternatives,” he said.

Ag education efforts on the rise Farming not the only opportunity for employment

By JIM SUHR The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – High school agriculture programs sprouting across the nation’s Corn Belt are teaching teenagers, many of them in urban environments, that careers in the field often have nothing to do with cows and plows.

The curriculums, taking hold as school budgets tighten and the numbers of farms in the U.S. decline, are rich in science and touted as stepping stones for college-bound students considering careers in everything from urban forestry to renewable natural resources and genetic engineering of crops, perhaps for agribusiness giants such as

Monsanto, Dow, DuPont and Pioneer.

Ag-minded students are in luck: Tens of thousands of jobs open up each year in the broader agriculture field, and roughly half are filled by college grads with actual ag-related degrees, observers say.

“There’s a shortage of workers in a number of ca-

reers, and the numbers of those jobs are staggering,” said Harley Hepner, the Illinois State Board of Education’s chief consultant for ag education. “Schools that understand we can get students in the ag program know they’re going to be taxpaying citizens with good-paying jobs.”

Along with school programs, membership in Future Farmers of America is up to about 580,000 – nearly double its ranks of the mid1980s.

That spike dispels the notion the national organization is merely a haven for farm kids, given that the number of U.S. farms are on a long-term downward trend, shrinking another 4 percent between 2007 and 2012, according to the latest federal figures available.

Beech Grove’s program, among 13 Indiana has added since 2010, has two middle school and two high school teachers for nearly 500 students, a number that helps the program pay for itself thanks to a state fund that gives districts a per-student stipend depending on the class. Those payouts range from $375 to $450 per student, accounting for what Kaufman says has funneled $180,000 into Beech Grove’s coffers.

Knee Pain?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer!

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-infl ammatory drug prescriptions.

Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain?

Where would you go, what would you do? What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDAapproved treatment.

If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Superior Health & Wellness, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint.

Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE? Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid. Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.

Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car. If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT CAUSES OSTEOARTHRITIS? The exact cause of osteoarthritis is unknown.

Factors that might cause it include the following: • Being overweight • Getting older (wear and tear) • Joint injury • Joints that are not properly formed (alignment/ imbalance problems) • A genetic defect in the joint cartilage • Stresses on the joints from certain activities, including sports, work and leisure activities

WILL MY PAIN GO AWAY OVER TIME? ✔ Do you wake up with knee pain? ✔ Does your knee pain keep you from certain activities? ✔ Have you been told you need a knee replacement? ✔ Are you active and sometimes suffer from sore knees? ✔ Do you take medications for knee pain? ✔ Do you have difficulty going up and down stairs due to knee pain? ✔ Are you considering surgery to alleviate knee pain? ✔ Have you tried everything to get rid of knee pain with out success?

If you answered yes to at least 4 of these questions, you are ready to experience the relief and healing found at Superior Health & Wellness.

Start living your life

Bill Richardson Former governor of New Mexico on his reasons for signing bill to abolish death penalty in N.M.

with a sawed-off shotgun and watching as two accomplices buried her alive.

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has stayed an upcoming execution as prison officials investigate, but she too reaffirmed her support for capital punishment.

On Friday, President Barack Obama said the Oklahoma event highlighted problems with the death penalty and he’s asking his attorney general for a review.

National surveys by Gallup indicate that support for the death penalty remains strong, though it has declined over the last 20 years, from 80 percent in favor of capital punishment in 1992 to 60 percent two years ago.

There are signs of a shift, primarily in the West and Northeast, after almost four decades in which no state legislatures voted to end executions.

Five states – New Jersey, New Mexico, Illinois, Connecticut and Maryland – have formally abolished the death penalty in the past seven years, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, which opposes capital punishment. New York’s

By JOSH FUNK The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. – Warren Buffett shrugged off concerns about his Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate, which has trailed the overall market, and told shareholders Saturday to remain optimistic about his company, as well as the American economy.

More than 30,000 people descended on the annual gathering to listen to Buffett and Berkshire Vice Chairman Charlie Munger, who faced tough questions about Berkshire’s prospects for growth and acquisitions, and also how Buffett came to handle a vote on pay packages crafted for Coca-Cola executives, a company in which Berkshire holds a major stake.

Buffett abstained from voting Berkshire’s 400 million shares against the compensation plan last week, though he has long advocated against exorbitant executive pay, and after he described Coca-Cola’s package as excessive.

“I thought this was the most effective way of behaving at Berkshire,” Buffett said Saturday.

Buffett said he told Coke’s CEO privately that he opposed the compensation plan, but didn’t want to criticize the company publicly or join another Coke investor’s very public campaign to curtail that pay.

“We made a clear statement about the excessiveness of the plan, but we didn’t go to war with Coke in any way,” Buffett said.

Shareholder Jake Kamm said the explanation Buffett offered initially for not voting against the pay package was not convincing.

“It’s a little bit of spin,” said Kamm, who teaches finance at Baldwin Wallace University near Cleveland, Ohio.

Buffett said the true test will come when Coke reveals its pay packages over the next year.

Buffett’s son, Howard Buffett, serves on Coke’s board and supported the compensation plan, which raised some hackles among Berkshire shareholders because he is on the shortlist to take a powerful position at the company on Buffett’s departure.

But Buffett said Berkshire shareholders shouldn’t worry about his preference that his son one day become Berkshire’s chairman.

Buffett also defended joining with investment firm 3G Capital last year to buy H.J. Heinz Co. That $23.3 billion deal represents a shift in Buffett’s investing style because Berkshire usually operates alone and leaves the companies it acquires largely unchanged.

“I do think 3G does a magnificent job running a business,” Buffett said.

Since the acquisition, 3G has announced plans to eliminate roughly 2,000 jobs and close three manufacturing plants to improve efficiency. Buffett said he doesn’t expect Berkshire to use 3G’s approach, but the two may pair up on future deals and he expects Heinz profits to improve significantly.

Longtime W.Va. congressman faces tough re-election

By FREDERIC J. FROMMER The Associated Press PRINCETON, W.Va. – In a state where Republicans are breaking losing streaks that predate the Eisenhower administration, a Democratic congressman who’s served nearly 40 years is one of the GOP’s top targets this election year.

Since 1977, U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall has represented the 3rd

Congressional District, which snakes around the southern part of West Virginia like a crooked smile.

Tapping into resentment over the health care law and a general dislike of President Barack Obama, Republicans hope a former Democrat in this once-Democratic stronghold will oust Rahall.

Rahall probably will face state Sen. Evan Jenkins, who left the Democratic Party last

year to run for Congress as a Republican. In the May 13 primary, Rahall is expected to win easily against a retired Army officer, Richard Ojeda.

Americans for Prosperity, funded by the billionaire Koch brothers, has paid for TV and radio ads criticizing Rahall’s vote for the health law. Rahall, 64, said he’ll rely on person-to-person contact to defend himself.

“Obviously I can’t compete

dollar-for-dollar with the Koch brothers and the out-of-state billionaires that are going to be pummeling the airwaves,” he said after a recent event in Princeton. “So I believe in the old-fashioned way, getting out and using shoe leather, working hard, as I have always done.”

Rahall is the only remaining Democrat in the state’s three-member U.S. House delegation.

“Obviously I can’t compete dollar-for-dollar with the Koch brothers and the out-of-state billionaires that are going to be pummeling the airwaves.”

NEW YORK – The subway rail that snapped and caused a train to derail, injuring 19 passengers and stranding hundreds underground, was installed just weeks before the accident, the Metropolitan Transit Authority said Saturday.

The rail that broke underneath a train in Queens on Friday morning was manufactured in the U.S. in November and installed in March. The other rails from that shipment will be tracked down and inspected, according to the MTA. The cause of the derailment remains under investigation.

“The main factor was the miscarriage of justice. I was aware of the serious problems with lethal injections, but it was not at the top.”

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has backed out of delivering the commencement address at Rutgers University following protests by some faculty and students over her role in the Iraq War. Rice said in a statement Saturday that she informed Rutgers President Robert Barchi that she was declining the invitation to speak at the graduation.

“Commencement should be a time of joyous celebration for the graduates and their families,” Rice said. “Rutgers’ invitation to me to speak has become a distraction for the university community at this very special time.”

Rep. Mike Christian

death penalty was abolished by a court, and several other states have placed executions on hold. An anti-death penalty bill in New Hampshire fell one vote short of passage.

Lawmakers in those states most often cited factors besides problems with lethal injection. Several governors cited the risk that an innocent person could be executed or the skyrocketing costs of fighting appeals in death-row cases.

“The main factor was the miscarriage of justice,” former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said Friday in an interview. “I was aware of the serious problems with lethal injections, but it was not at the top.”

Richardson signed his state’s abolition bill in 2009 and has since campaigned against the death penalty in other states. He described meeting with several exonerated death row inmates – there are more than 140 nationwide – as well as families of victims and law enforcement officials. He predicted that the botched execution would weigh on other governors considering the death penalty.

Texas has executed 515 inmates since reinstating the death penalty in 1982, by far more than any other state.

Gov. Rick Perry and both the Republican and Democratic candidates for governor have repeated their support for capital punishment and their confidence in Texas’ system.

Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center predicted the execution’s biggest effect would be in the courts, where Oklahoma, Texas and other states are being challenged to name execution drug suppliers. The states argue they must keep the names secret to protect suppliers and ensure they can get the hard-to-obtain drugs.

Juries in Texas are already giving fewer death sentences, suggesting a larger shift, said Kristin Houle, executive director of the Texas Coalition to End the Death Penalty.

“It’s not going to be just one thing that pushes the issue over the edge,” she said.

Condoleezza Rice backs out of Rutgers address

DALLAS – A bungled execution in Oklahoma in which the condemned prisoner writhed and moaned as he received a lethal injection outraged death-penalty opponents, invited court challenges and attracted worldwide attention.

But the inmate’s agony alone is highly unlikely to change minds about capital punishment in the nation’s most active death-penalty states, where lawmakers say there is little political will to move against lethal injections – and a single execution gone wrong won’t change that.

Oklahoma Rep. Mike Christian, a Republican lawmaker who pushed to have state Supreme Court justices impeached for briefly halting Tuesday’s execution, was unsparing.

“I realize this may sound harsh,” Christian said, “but as a father and former lawman, I really don’t care if it’s by lethal injection, by the electric chair, firing squad, hanging, the guillotine or being fed to the lions.”

Attorneys for death-row inmates hope Tuesday’s spectacle provides new evidence to argue that the injections are inhumane and illegal.

But beyond the courtroom, support for capital punishment is undeterred in the states that perform the greatest number of executions – Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Missouri, Alabama, Georgia and Ohio. And nowhere in those places are any elected officials of either political party talking seriously about using the incident to seek an end to executions.

Missouri Rep. Paul Fitzwater, a Republican who chairs the state House’s corrections committee, called the botched execution “horrible” and “definitely not humane” but said it had not sparked any calls for reform.

Oklahoma prison officials say Tuesday’s execution of Clayton Lockett went awry when an intravenous line of deadly drugs became dislodged. He later died from an apparent heart attack. Lockett had been condemned for shooting a 19-year-old girl

DETROIT – General Motors is recalling 51,640 SUVs because the fuel gauges may show inaccurate readings.

The recall involves the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia from the 2014 model year. All of the affected SUVs were built between March 26 and Aug. 15 of 2013.

GM says the engine control module software may cause the fuel gauge to read inaccurately.

If that happens, the vehicle might run out of fuel and stall without warning.

Lawsuit alleges ‘racial gerrymandering’ in Va.

By LARRY O’DELL The Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. – Virginia is one of several states where Democrats have gone to court to challenge redistricting plans drawn by Republicans seeking to keep control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Marc Elias, an attorney for the National Democratic Redistricting Trust, represents two Virginia voters in a lawsuit that accuses the General Assembly of “racial gerrymandering” by improperly packing African-Americans into the state’s only black-majority congressional district to make adjacent districts safer for GOP incumbents. A trial is set for this month.

“We’re trying to remedy what we believe is an unconstitutional map drawn by the legislature,” Elias said.

Democrats have also challenged GOP-drawn redistricting plans in other states – including Texas, Florida, Nevada and Missouri – but they are not alone in employing the tactic. Republicans also have asked courts to invalidate Democrat-produced remapping in a few states.

“It’s not unusual at all to see whichever party feels aggrieved to try to correct what they think is unfair damage through the courts,” said Justin Levitt, a law professor and redistricting expert at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.

“It’s just that you’re seeing more lawsuits by Democrats

because Republicans were in control of more redistricting.”

This isn’t the first lawsuit challenging Virginia’s reapportionment plan. State and federal courts previously dismissed lawsuits claiming the General Assembly violated a state constitutional provision by failing to complete redistricting until 2012, a year late.

Ethnic groups and others have also brought redistricting lawsuits in some states, Levitt said. So far in this redistricting cycle, he said, 208 lawsuits have been filed dealing with state legislative or congressional redistricting, or both.

The National Conference of State Legislatures says 28 lawsuits remain active in nine states.

Afghans search for survivors Saturday after Friday’s landslide buried Abi-Barik village in Badakhshan province in Afghanistan. Afghan rescuers and hundreds of volunteers armed with shovels rushed to help villagers hit by a massive landslide in the remote northeast a day earlier, officials said, while fears of a new torrent of mud and earth complicated rescue efforts.

Afghan official: ‘That will be their cemetery’ Exact casualties unknown as rescue efforts continue after massive landslide

By AMIR SHAH and REBECCA SANTANA The Associated Press ABI BARIK, Afghanistan – Afghan rescuers and volunteers armed with shovels and little more than their bare hands dug through the mud Saturday after a massive landslide swept through a village the day before, turning it into an earthen tomb holding hundreds of bodies, officials said.

The government and aid groups rushed to bring food, water and shelter to the survivors as the government tried to ascertain just how many people were killed in the latest natural disaster to hit a country already reeling from nearly three decades of war.

Figures on the number of people killed and missing in the disaster Friday varied from 255 to 2,700. Fears of a new landslide complicated rescue efforts, as homes and residents sat buried under yards of mud.

“That will be their cemetery,” said Mohammad Karim Khalili, one of the country’s two vice presidents, who visited the scene Saturday. “It is not possible to bring out any bodies.”

Though figures on the death toll varied, residents knew the toll the tragedy had taken on their own families.

From atop a muddy hill, Begam Nesar pointed to the torrent of earth below that had

lace usic P A rM Fo

wiped out much of her village.

“Thirteen of my family members are under the mud,” she said, including her mother, father, brothers, sisters and children. She said she had been visiting relatives at a nearby village when the disaster struck.

The United Nations said Friday at least 350 people died, and the provincial governor said as many as 2,000 people were feared missing. On Saturday, the International Organization of Migration said information they gathered indicated 2,700 people were dead or missing.

At least 255 people were confirmed dead, Khalili said.

Most of those were people who had rushed to the scene to help after a previous, smaller landslide. When a bigger landslide hit, those people along with roughly 300 homes were wiped out. But since no one knows how many people were in those homes, counting the dead is difficult, Khalili said.

Mohammad Aslam Seyas, deputy director of the Natural Disaster Management Authority, said fears of new landslides had slowed the operation.

The ground on a hill overlooking the village was soaked from recent heavy rainfalls that officials believe triggered the slide. More than half a mile away, government and aid groups set up tents for those displaced.

Israel’s race to succeed President Peres heats up

By ARON HELLER The Associated Press TEL AVIV, Israel – Among those vying to become Israel’s next president are a former defense minister, a former foreign minister, a former finance minister, a respected long-serving lawmaker and a Nobel Prize

winner. Amazingly, the man they all seek to replace has held all of those titles and more during a legendary 65-year political career.

Shimon Peres, the indomitable 90-year-old elder statesman of Israeli politics, concludes his seven-year term as the country’s ceremonial head of state

this summer. While the group of potential successors is locked in a heated battle over the lofty post, whoever emerges victorious likely faces an even tougher task of breaking out of Peres’ enormous shadow.

Officially, the president has only two primary powers: assigning a potential prime min-

ister to build a coalition government after elections and issuing pardons to criminals. But Peres, a two-time former prime minister, has risen above the post.

He restored honor to the presidency after replacing the disgraced Moshe Katsav, forced to resign in a sex scandal and later convicted of rape in 2007.

Peres quickly became the country’s most popular political figure, finally basking in the public adoration that eluded him for most of his lengthy career.

He also became a de facto foreign minister who promoted Israel abroad thanks to his wide network of global contacts, presenting a respectable face for the

country when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government was often under fire for its West Bank settlement policies.

He offered a bridge to the Arab world and was greeted like royalty in Europe and Washington, where President Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Police seek evidence of Adams’ IRA background

By SHAWN POGATCHNIK The Associated Press BELFAST, Northern Ireland – Northern Ireland police are casting a wider net in their efforts to prove that Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams once commanded the outlawed Irish Republican Army and ordered the 1972 killing of a Belfast mother of 10, according to party colleagues and retired militants.

Details of an expanding trawl for evidence emerged Saturday as detectives spent a fourth day questioning Adams about the IRA’s abduction, killing and secret burial of Jean McConville 42 years ago – an investigation that has infuriated his IRA-linked party.

Adams had been scheduled to be charged or released by Friday night but a judge granted police a 48-hour extension of his detention. Adams, 65, took part in the court hearing via a video link from the police interrogation center west of Belfast.

Sinn Fein’s deputy leader, Martin McGuinness, said he had been told by Adams’ legal team that detectives were questioning him about many of his speeches, writings and public appearances going back to the 1970s, when he was interned without trial as an IRA suspect and wrote a newspaper column from prison using the pen name “Brownie.”

McGuinness, a former IRA commander who today is the senior Catholic in Northern Ireland’s unity government, told a street rally in Catholic west Belfast that police would fail to prove IRA membership claims against Adams, as last happened in 1978, when Adams was arrested in the wake of a hotel firebomb that burned 12 Protestants to death.

“That case was based on hearsay, gossip and newspaper articles. It failed then, and it will fail now,” McGuinness said in front of a newly painted mural of a smiling Adams beside the words, “Peacemaker Leader Visionary.” Supporters at the rally – which took place across the road from the site of McConville’s abduction – held signs showing Adams meeting Nelson Mandela in South Africa.

Aides to Adams and McGuinness said Catholic west Belfast residents with IRA affiliations had been approached by police recently, asking them to make statements about their knowledge of Adams’ IRA activities.

British authorities have struggled to convict senior IRA figures of membership in an outlawed organization, a charge that carries a maximum five-year sentence.

Renters feel squeeze Safety of Everest guides with options lacking under scrutiny after deaths • RENTING Continued from page A1 in Algonquin and former president of the Illinois Association of Realtors.

“They’re beautiful. They’re just a pleasure to show,” Clavesilla said. “People tend to go with those before they go with an individual investor who might not have the same colors throughout the house. ... It’s a nice product to move into.”

Clavesilla estimates that the four such institutions that operate in McHenry County now control 60 to 70 percent of the county’s rental market.

Invitation Homes, she said, is the largest.

Jim Humbard, a realtor for more than 25 years who is currently with RE/MAX Plaza in McHenry, said rents have risen with the trend toward institutional buying.

“The people that I have personally seen looking for rentals definitely have some credit things, so I’m guessing, too, that the rent costs have gone up because there’s risk-reward,” Humbard said.

“If I’m going to have to rent to a less-than-stellar tenant, I’m going to charge a premium.”

High rents add incentive for those who are in a position to buy, but so far, most housing recovery has come in the

$100,000 - $150,000 range, said Scott Beilfuss, managing broker for O.K. and Associates Realty Plus in Richmond.

But Beilfuss is in many cases showing and selling those homes to institutional buyers looking to cater to the mass of renters.

With few other options in a county short on apartment complexes, renters feel the squeeze.

“Instead of renting two-bedroom apartments at $800, they’re forced into homes or condos,” Beilfuss said.

It could be a while before the flooded rental market recovers. Credit scores of those who lost their homes in the early stages of the recession are just now starting to recover – a process that typically takes about five years, Clavesilla said.

“We’re going to have a nice, heavy rental market for quite a while because of the timeline,” she said. “The people who had short sales five years ago, they’ve now repaired their credit to buy again.”

Haisler said he’s still seeing a lot of foreclosures and short sales happening throughout the county.

“We are still trying to fight through this mess,” he said.

“And while we do that, rent remains high.”

By NICK PERRY The Associated Press WELLINGTON, New Zealand – Guy Cotter was so concerned about the safety of Sherpa guides and porters through Mount Everest’s notorious Khumbu Icefall that he and another commercial guide operator hatched a plan: Before this year’s climbing season began, they would use helicopters to transport 4 tons of equipment above the icefall.

Nepal-based Simrik Air backed the plan and hired New Zealand pilot Jason Laing, an expert in hauling loads using long cables. But in January, the answer came from Nepalese authorities: permit denied.

Three months later, Laing put his expertise to use. But not hauling gear. On April 18 came Everest’s worst disaster, in which 16 Sherpas were killed in an avalanche at the icefall. Laing made flight after flight that day, using his long cables to rescue four injured Sherpas and haul out 13 bodies. The three others are buried under heavy snow and ice.

“It was tough,” Laing said.

“I just had to get on with it.”

Among those killed were three Sherpas hired by Cotter’s company, Adventure Consultants.

It’s not the first time that Nepal has rejected proposals

Climbers navigate the knife-edge ridge May 18, 2013 just below the Hillary Step on their way to the summit of Mount Everest, in the Khumbu region of the Nepal Himalayas. to reduce the need for Sherpas to lug equipment up and down the icefall. But Cotter and other commercial operators say they hope the avalanche will prompt long-overdue safety improvements.

“It’s a shame it takes a major tragedy to get us to that point,” Cotter said.

The Khumbu Icefall is considered the most dangerous terrain of the climb. It is a river of ice, a half mile or so of constantly shifting glacier punctuated by deep crevasses and overhanging immensities of ice that can be as large as 10-story buildings. It can move six feet in just one day. Crossing it can take 12 hours. Ropes can be snapped by the moving ice, ladders broken.

Cotter, a New Zealander, is a well-known operator at Everest. He first climbed the mountain in 1992 and has owned and run Adventure Consultants since 1996. This year was typical: He had 10 clients from Britain, Japan, the U.S. and Iceland, among other places, and employed 44 Sherpas as porters, guides and cooks. His company was one of several seasoned operators at the mountain.

Simrik Air Operations Manager Siddartha Gurung said that before the permit was denied, his company had been preparing to make about 30 flights to Base One, above the icefall, carrying enough weight to eliminate 300 Sherpa trips.

one from non-NATO member Sweden was released two days later, but the rest remained in custody until Saturday.

The insurgents’ leader in Slovyansk, Vyacheslav Ponomarev, was quoted by Interfax news agency as saying he ordered the release because of increasing insecurity in the city. In recent days, at least

four Ukrainian soldiers were killed on the city’s outskirts – two of them when helicopters were shot down – and at least 10 civilians have been killed, according to Ponomarev.

Ponomarev later told The Associated Press that the OSCE observers “are not being released – they are leaving us, as we promised them.”

One of the released observers, German Col. Axel Schneider, told The Associated Press that the 12 detainees held up well. Those held included three other Germans and a soldier each from the Czech Republic, Denmark and Poland.

8WORLD BRIEFS Pope sex abuse panel calls for accountability VATICAN CITY – Members of Pope Francis’ sexual abuse advisory board said Saturday they will develop “clear and effective” protocols to hold bishops and other church authorities accountable if they fail to report suspected abuse or protect children from pedophile priests.

Victims groups have long blasted the Vatican for refusing to sanction any bishop or superior who covered up for priests who raped and molested children.

They have listed accountability as one of the core issues facing Francis and a key test for his new advisory board.

Francis announced the creation of the commission last December and named its members in March after coming under initial criticism for having ignored the sex abuse issue.

Combating corruption, he said, “lifts more than a government’s balance sheet.”

The letter also moved pointby-point through Jacobson’s interview with MCC officials.

At one point, he admitted a photo containing adolescent boys in the nude was “probably illegal.” At several others, he admitted viewing the material during work hours, according to the letter.

The letter said the documents were “sent by or forwarded to individuals you [Jacobson] knew, including family members, friends and other College employees.”

Smith also pointed out Jacobson was insubordinate in keeping personal tools at the college when asked repeatedly

John Jacobson Hebron village president, on his past with MCC

to remove them. But most of her 15 reasons for recommending Jacobson’s firing in the letter dealt with his misuse of the college’s email system.

“The e-mails, attachments and videos you received were not isolated incidents,” Smith wrote. “You communicated repeatedly with individuals you knew, viewed and saved the images, and forwarded the images sometimes months or years after you initially received them.”

Jacobson said Friday that the emails were sent to him, and that he didn’t seek out the inappropriate material. He also denied forwarding them.

“I opened them because I did not know what was there,” he said.

Jacobson said his focus was on the village of Hebron, which is in talks with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to rework the loan on its wastewater treatment plant, negotiations that will

have much to do with the village’s financial health going forward.

“You’re digging up old stories,” Jacobson said. “We got some real issues going on in our village. That’s what I have to focus on.”

After an initial request for review of a FOIA response, public bodies get a chance to back their exemptions to the attorney general. Their response gets sent to the individual who requested the review, who typically gets a chance for rebuttal before a ruling from the attorney general.

But after their initial response to the request for review, MCC’s attorney sent several additional documents to the Northwest Herald, including the letter from Smith and a short letter from an administrator to Jacobson that placed him on suspension as the investigation launched. The school initially denied again that a police report existed.

A day later, after the Northwest Herald contacted the state’s attorney’s office, MCC FOIA Officer Laura Brown sent the report to the Northwest Herald.

On Friday, State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi said he’d left a message for Smith regarding the report. She responded with a voicemail saying it had been sent to the paper, Bianchi said.

“That was the extent of the message,” he said.

PLUS:

MCC spokeswoman Christina Haggerty said Friday that the document was withheld because it was an “information report” that was used during an “internal investigation.”

Other documents of the internal investigation the college said are exempt from disclosure were listed in MCC’s response to the request for review. The report from campus police wasn’t referenced, but the response did reiterate that the school was not in possession of a “police report.”

Earlier this year, Brown said the college had consulted with the state’s attorney’s office but hadn’t forwarded the office any documents. The report shows a record that it had been sent twice to the office – once in February 2013 – before Jacobson’s firing – and again Feb. 28, 2014, during the Northwest Herald’s investigation into Jacobson.

The report provided few unknown details. Some of the pornographic images Jacobson had received and forwarded contained images of children with exposed genitalia. The state’s attorney’s office determined the images didn’t meet the threshold for child porn because they weren’t sexual in nature, said Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs, chief of the criminal division.

The report noted that there was “no criminal intent to justify prosecution.”

One more costly tax hike remains We’re very thankful that two ill-conceived, job-killing tax hike schemes died in the General Assembly in recent weeks.

That’s two down, and one – making the 67 percent temporary income tax increase permanent – to go.

House Speaker Michael Madigan pulled his proposed constitutional amendment for a “millionaire tax” because he did not have the threefifths majority needed to put it on For the record the Nov. 4 ballot.

And an effort to It’s become apparent that amend the Illinois it’s too much to ask for state Constitution to government to live within its switch from a flat means. tax to a progressive tax based on income stalled in the Senate because Madigan could not deliver the 71 votes needed in the House.

Illinois caught a break for once. Taxpayers and businesses already are struggling in a state that’s toxic to both. The state’s anemic economy and recent polls expressing the depth of Illinois residents’ disgust and desire to leave speak volumes.

Allowing our spendthrift state lawmakers to jack up taxes to whatever rates they see fit would further drive businesses and taxpayers out of the state. It would make attracting talented people to take jobs in Illinois more difficult. It would be yet another poison pill for a state with the third-highest unemployment and the worst credit rating in the nation, and the worst projected 2014 job growth rate. And of course, the second-highest rate of people moving elsewhere.

Lawmakers who supported a progressive tax claimed that the vast majority of state residents would see a lower tax rate. But aside from the fact that our state lawmakers can’t be trusted to keep their word – we’ll get to that in a minute – the claim was garbage.

The tax rate proposal sponsored by state Sen. Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, would have set the tax rate at 4.9 percent, a whopping tenth of a percentage point less than the current rate, for people making between $12,501 and $180,000.

But that “savings” is based on the 5 percent rate people have been paying since January 2011 when Democratic lawmakers raised the flat rate 67 percent, taking away an average of another week’s pay from every state taxpayer.

This is where lawmakers keeping their word comes in. That 5 percent rate is supposed to sunset Jan. 1 to 3.75 percent for individuals and from 7 percent to 5.25 percent for businesses.

That promise was codified in the law that Gov. Pat Quinn signed.

Of course, Quinn and the other Democratic leaders who repeatedly promised that the tax hike would expire as promised are now crying poor and asking that the tax be made permanent, lest Illinois suffer financial and societal Armageddon.

This is merely the latest in a string of broken promises regarding the tax hike.

Quinn promised during his 2010 campaign that he would veto any tax increase greater than 33 percent, and then signed the 67 percent increase. Lawmakers also promised the tax increase would pay down the state’s shameful backlog of unpaid bills. It did not – almost all of it was swallowed by the state’s ballooning public pension obligations.

State lawmakers have until the end of session May 31 if they want to make the increase permanent by simple majority. After that, the number of votes needed leaps to three-fifths until Jan. 1. Or lawmakers can pull the same trick they did three years ago – wait until after the election and increase it by simple majority in the January lame-duck session. That’s how six outgoing state lawmakers – including two who campaigned against a tax hike and then voted “yes” – ended up with cushy government jobs.

It’s become apparent that it’s too much to ask for state government to live within its means. But is it too much to ask for state lawmakers to keep a promise made to taxpayers?

Just this once?

Even if it was a hollow promise that Quinn and Co. never had any intention of honoring?

To the Editor: Pioneer Center for Human Services/PADS’ SleepOut for Shelter is May 10 at Living Waters Lutheran Church in Crystal Lake. Please join us or give generously to PADS so fewer of our neighbors need to sleep outside every night for months.

Have you ever talked to a homeless person? I have. Have you volunteered at a shelter or a food pantry? Do you donate money or food? Thank you.

Does that make you feel that you’ve done enough? It is not enough. Go to www.pioneercenter. org to donate or to participate.

Also, May 10 is the Letter Carriers Food Drive for our pantries. Please be generous with donations of incode-date food.

Why are so many hungry and homeless in McHenry County?

Does it matter to you? Should it? I challenge you to read “The Hole in the Gospel.”

Why is it OK for people to work for less than a livable wage? Somehow, that is a threat to the rest of us? It is difficult and messy to get to the root causes of hunger and homelessness. But we are smart people. We can do better if we want to. Do we want to?

Inaction speaks just as loud as action. Let’s act to improve the lives of our neighbors. Children who don’t have enough to eat find it hard to concentrate in school. The stress on families is so hard. Parents want to take care of their own

Courage to change To the Editor: Gov. Pat Quinn’s statement during a recent debate that we must make permanent the “temporary income tax” in order to continue funding education in Illinois troubles me.

Illinois has been losing business to surrounding states that have a more advantageous tax environment. For verification, access the article entitled “Disappearance of Illinois’ manufacturing sector” at illinoispolicy.org. In that study, it states “Illinois has the fourthhighest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world,” and graphically shows how the surrounding states are gaining where we are losing.

My question to Gov. Quinn and his supporters is, if we continue to tax in this manner, we will be losing the base on which our government tax program is dependent. In other words, if corporations are leaving our state, and the corresponding jobs, where is the money going to come from? Who or what will they tax to maintain their glorious plans?

Republican governor candidate Bruce Rauner says he will roll back the income tax. I understand and agree we must make our state more attractive to business to re-establish a base that we can tax, but he has not been specific about the sacrifices we all will have to make during the process.

We welcome original letters on public issues.

Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers.

We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days. All letters are subject to

Such information will give voters a more accurate idea of Mr. Rauner’s program and allow the electorate to determine whether we have the courage to change the direction of our state’s financial condition or choose to continue to limp along as a state at the lower end of the economic scale.

Help ‘Stamp Out’ hunger To the Editor: America is known throughout the world as the land of plenty.

For many people living in our country, hunger is still a reality. Today, 49 million Americans, including 16 million children, are struggling with hunger. These are often hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several meals, or even days.

On Saturday, the National Association of Letter Carriers and United States Postal Service, along with other partners, will join forces to help Stamp Out Hunger in commu-

editing for length and clarity at the sole discretion of the editor.

Submit letters by: • E-mail: letters@nwherald.com • Mail: Northwest Herald “It’s Your Write” Box 250 Crystal Lake, IL 60039-0250

nities large and small.

Across the nation, 200,000 letter carriers will collect food donations in more than 10,000 communities and deliver them to local food banks and other hunger relief organizations.

This is the 22nd anniversary of the nation’s largest single-day food drive, having collected more than one billion pounds of food since its inception in 1993. In 2013, generous Americans donated 74 million pounds of food, which marked the 10th consecutive year that at least 70 million pounds were collected.

Participating in the food drive is easy. Just leave a bag of nonperishable food items, such as canned soup, vegetables, fruits, juices, boxed goods, pasta and rice, where the letter carrier normally delivers your mail. The food will then be picked up and delivered to the local food bank.

To learn more about the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, ask your letter carrier, contact your local post office or visit www.nalc.org/ commun/foodrive/.

President Obama’s foreign policy nonexistent You know things are bad when you can’t wait for the return of a TV character to demonstrate what resolve and leadership really look like. Yes, after a four-year hiatus, the show “24,” featuring Jack Bauer (played by Kiefer Sutherland), returns Monday to the Fox network.

Bauer displays many of the traits once found in, or at least expected of, American presidents and top military leaders. He doesn’t waffle or wiggle; neither does he negotiate. He wins. If you think I am about to draw a contrast between Bauer and the current president of the United States, you are right.

The headlines are depressing: “Obama suffers setbacks in Japan and the Mideast” (New York Times); “Pentagon: (Defense Secretary Chuck) Hagel’s Russian counterpart won’t return his calls” (Fox News); and these two from the May issue of Commentary Magazine: “China rises as America weakens”; “He’s made it worse: Obama’s Middle East.”

Obama is detached, uninterested and inexperienced in foreign affairs and the world has taken notice. Putin calculated he could get away with meddling in Ukraine because he perceived weakness in the president of the United States. And, in fact, the first wave of U.S. and European sanctions against Russia proved him right. They were nothing short of laughable. Does the West really think it can

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

VIEWS Cal Thomas fell a Russian bear with a water pistol?

The only thing I learned in a physics class before flunking it was that nature abhors a vacuum and will fill it if given the opportunity. The same is true in foreign policy.

That’s what “Peace Through Strength” in the Reagan era was about. There was a reason the Ayatollah Khomeini ordered the release of American hostages on Inauguration Day 1981. He seemed to believe Reagan might attack if Iran kept Americans as prisoners.

While Obama plays numerous rounds of golf and the military fiddles with issues like women in combat and whether taxpayers should pay for convicted intelligence leaker Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning’s gender transition, Putin acts. The Middle East is in flames – diplomatically and literally – because this administration has no discernible foreign policy other than criticizing Israel.

As the world changes and new challenges arise, American foreign policy must adapt.

Past failures should be scrapped. Past successes should be remembered and replicated.

The first and most important step must be for the United States to declare who we

are as a country and to define our purpose in the world. Presidents are supposed to do this. Somewhere between isolationism and interventionism is a U.S. policy waiting to be discovered.

“Freedom” may mean one thing to us, but it means something quite different in other parts of the world. In Russia, which has a long history of autocratic leaders who have traded freedom for a minimal standard of living, American-style freedom is not universally embraced.

In many Muslim lands, freedom means Sharia law. Applying American principles to that world has caused frustration, even failure.

If the president fails to articulate who we are to fellow Americans and the world – and there is little evidence he knows how, or even wants to – the United States will lose its leadership role. The hostile forces willing to take its place – China, Russia and radical Islam – will bring with them consequences we will not like and threats to our national security we may not be able to repel.

Perhaps Jack Bauer can again inspire as he did when “24” premiered in November 2001, two months after the terrorist attacks on America. Sometimes fiction is stranger than truth.

But the subdivision never came – and neither did the connection fees that were earmarked to pay back the 20-year loan.

Without those connection fees, the village couldn’t afford the payments and asked the IEPA for help.

With negotiations ongoing, they agreed to a fiveyear deal where the village

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – In between ongoing renovations and new construction, District 300 officials will eventually have to make another decision on a newly-acquired building that could help manage growing enrollment.

TheCarpentersville-based school district could use the building they acquired ear-

lier this year from the Children’s Home and Aid society for additional parking or invest money and convert it to classroom space, Chuck s a i d C h u c k Bumbales Bumbales, as- D-300 sistant super- assistant suintendent of perintendent operations.

The district received

the building, located next to Parkview Elementary in Carpentersville, as part of the $750,000 sale of its current Oak Ridge School site.

The children’s society has already started making improvements to that site after swapping properties with District 300.

“There are many different options we could use,” Bumbales said. “We just need to determine which one is the best for us.”

That determination likely won’t be made soon.

District administrators already are occupied with a $1.174 million renovation that converts their current central office to a permanent school for Oak Ridge students to use by the fall.

They also started initial construction work next to Jacobs High School on a new administrative building,

See DISTRICT 300, page B4

CARY – Groups that rent District 26 facilities won’t have to pay more, even though administrators proposed an increase in rental rates.

District administrators had proposed increases of either $10 or $5 per hour to rent out facilities. Both proposals received resistance from school board members, who decided to keep the Carybased district’s rental rates the same for the next school year.

The current Brian fee is $15 per Coleman h o u r , w h i c h District 26 suw a s p u t i n perintendent place in July 2013.

The previous fee was $10.50. District 26 has some of the lowest rates in the county and rental rates in the district are the same regardless of whether a group wants to rent a classroom or a gym.

Administrators raised concerns of needing to pay for the costs of rising utility expenses, the cost of plowing snow on the weekends, and the possible increase in costs because of the Affordable Care Act for its outside custodial services when that contract is negotiated next year.

Superintendent Brian Coleman said buildings need to be heated and operational regardless of which space is being rented.

“We’re the lowest in renting out to the public,” Coleman said. “Our philosophy is to provide school buildings for student activities. ... We want to continue to do that. The other side of that is we want to maintain our buildings, keep up with utility bills. Those, like anybody else’s bills, increase.”

The district estimated it spent about $20,000 extra this winter to plow snow on weekends to get the building open

CL Park District proposes $14.8 million budget

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake Park District posted a notice Friday for a public hearing on its proposed 2014-15 budget, which closely mirrors last year’s spending plan.

The $14.8 million budget is roughly $1,000 more than

last year’s plan but includes more property tax revenue as it is set to increase from $6.6 million to $6.9 million.

The tax rate would increase from 46 cents per $100 of equalized assessed value to 51 cents per $100 of EAV. The park district makes up about 5 percent of a resident’s tax bill.

“There is nothing earth

shattering here. It is a pretty standard budget,” said Debra Oldham, superintendent of business services for the district. “We are just trying to keep our parks in good repair in a fiscally responsible manner.”

Park development and improvement has the largest spending increase with the total moving from $2 million

last year to $2.4 million this year. Oldham said the district’s biggest project this year is the $1.2 million renovation of Woodscreek Park.

A $400,000 grant was awarded to the district for the project.

Spending decreases come in program expenses and

BARK FEST IN CARY

Spring brings not-so-fun road construction projects Elgin and I-39 in Rockford.

Eastbound lanes were improved last year, so traffic is being shifted to them so workers can improve the westbound lanes. That work should be finished by the end of the year. But work also has started this year to improve a 25-mile segment of I-90 from Elgin east to the Tri-State Tollway. That work is expected to be finished by the end of 2015. The total cost of the project, meant to widen and improve I-90 between Rockford and O’Hare International Airport, is $2.5 billion.

• ROUTE 176: Work is starting on an upgrade to the intersection of Route 176 and Smith Road in unincorporated Nunda Township. The $1.5 million project is expected to be finished by November.

Work is set to finish by the end of spring on the $10.2 million improvement to the intersections of Routes 31 and 176 in Crystal Lake.

• BECAUSE WE CARE: To those readers whose trips down Route 31 will go through Johnsburg, McHenry, Crystal Lake and Algonquin, you have our deepest sympathies.

• ROUTE 14 IN CARY: Watch for possible delays as work begins on a $1.5 million project to improve Jandus Cutoff from Route 14 to the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.

The project is expected to be finished by September.

With warmer weather here – or at least in theory, anyway – it’s time for the Northwest Herald’s weekly rundown of road projects to resume.

Come Memorial Day weekend, you’ll be able to subscribe to a weekly email newsletter at NWHerald.com to keep you informed of current and upcoming projects.

Let’s start off with the big-ticket projects ...

• ALGONQUIN WESTERN BYPASS: Budget more time if your travels take you through downtown Algonquin on either Route 31 or Algonquin Road/Route 62.

Watch for workers and expect some delays at the bypass’s intersections with Route 31 north and south of downtown, and on Algonquin Road west of downtown as workers build the overpass and its diamond interchange.

Key components of the long-desired $33.3 million project are the building of a 2.1-mile, four-lane highway around downtown to eliminate the infamous rush-hour bottleneck at the intersection of Routes 31 and 62.

• ROUTES 31 AND 120: We’ll be blunt: traveling through the city of McHenry is going to be a mess this summer. Work has started on a $7.2 million project to widen and resurface Route 120 from Front Street to Green Street and Route 31 from Route 120 north to McCullom Lake Road.

It includes improvement of

the intersection and replacement of the bridge over the creek that feeds into the Fox River.

Watch for lane closures and frequent stops. The project is expected to be finished

by November.

• JOHNSBURG ROUNDABOUT: Work is beginning on a roundabout intersection at Johnsburg and Chapel Hill roads. The $2.7 million project scheduled to be finished in September includes decorative lighting, landscaping and brick-paved crosswalks.

Eastbound Johnsburg Road is now closed between Spring Grove Road and Fairview Avenue, and westbound Johnsburg Road will be closed from Fairview Avenue to Chapel Hill Road. The road will be open to local traffic to maintain access to local businesses.

A lengthy posted detour will take drivers around via Routes 31 and 120 and Chapel Hill Road. And yes, that detour takes you through the aforementioned mess at Routes 31 and 120 in McHenry.

The work is the second phase of a project to improve Johnsburg Road. The first phase, which improved Johnsburg Road from Route 31 east to the roundabout, was finished earlier this year.

• INTERSTATE 90: Budget extra time if your commute involves I-90, regardless of which direction you’re traveling.

Work will continue this year to improve a 37-mile segment of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway between

DISTRICT 300

3 principals announced by school district

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – The Oak Ridge School principal for the past four years will continue his ascent through the District 300 ranks later this year, when he becomes principal of Lake in the Hills Elementary.

8LOCAL BRIEFS McHenry event to cover medical marijuana use McHENRY – The medical use of marijuana in Illinois will be the topic of this month’s Coffee with the Chief.

Police Chief John Jones will meet with residents from 7:30 to 9 p.m. May 12 in a classroom at McHenry City Hall, 333 S. Green St. Jones also will review events and criminal activities that have occurred locally over the past few months. Residents may ask questions or voice concerns at the end of the evening.

These events occur four times a year at the same location.

Police crack down on seat belt violations SPRING GROVE – With Memorial Day approaching, the Spring Grove Police Department will be ramping up its seat belt enforcement. The crackdown is part of a larger, nationwide “Click It or Ticket” campaign that runs May 19 through June 1.

Wearing seat belts can help protect people during car accidents, Police Chief Thomas Sanders said in a news release.

“There are too many people dying on the roads, and many of those deaths could have been prevented if people took the simple step of wearing their seat belt,” he said.

– Northwest Herald

Nathan Jarot will move from Oak Ridge to replace principal Tammy Poole, who will leave Lake in the Hills Elementary this summer to lead Field Elementary in Elmhurst.

Jarot began his District 300 career teaching at Perry Elementary and later Lakewood

School from 2001 to 2007, before becoming dean and curriculum advisor at Lakewood in 2008. He then became assistant principal there before heading Oak Ridge in 2010.

Jarot and two others were introduced to the board this week as the district’s newest principal hires.

“Nate is an amazing collaborator,” said Kristin Corriveau, assistant superintendent of elementary schools.

“He has wonderful ideas, and we are excited to have him at Lake in the Hills Elementary.”

Stacy Wilkinson, who has spent the past three years as Jacobs High School education

services division head, will replace Jarot as Oak Ridge principal. She spent nine years in District 300 teaching special education at Dundee-Crown High School and Oak Ridge.

A newcomer to the district, Bob Chleboun, will become principal at Liberty Elementary in Carpentersville after

Amanda Edwards leaves later this summer for a career outside of education.

Chleboun has been principal at Blythe Park Elementary in Riverside for the last 10 years. He previously was an assistant principal at a North Shore District 112 elementary school for three years.

Public hearing for budget May 15 Board feared higher rate • BUDGET Continued from page B1 salaries. Program expenses would decrease from $1.7 million to $1.4 million while salary and benefit costs would drop from $4.3 million to $4.2 million.

Reserve funds would be spent down by $454,790 in an effort to prevent the reserves from being underutilized.

The proposed budget would leave the park district with a $5.2 million balance at the end of the 2014-15 fiscal year.

“We look every year at

“We look every year at our ending fund balances and try to keep most of them at three or four months of operating coverage, which is right where that would leave us.”

Debra Oldham Superintendent of business services for the Crystal Lake Park District our ending fund balances and try to keep most of them at three or four months of operating coverage, which is right where that would leave us,” Oldham said.

The public hearing will be at 7 p.m. May 15 during the

monthly board of commissioners meeting.

After the hearing, the board will vote to ratify the budget. All meetings are held at the park district administrative offices on 1 E. Crystal Lake Ave.

Temporary deal to replace expiring agreement “What I’m hearing is that we may have it resolved this year, but I think I’ve said that before. ”

• RICHMOND Continued from page B1 would only pay interest on the loan, not paying off any of the principal. The new deal will replace that expiring agreement – “another year of same old, same old,” Village President Pete Koenig said.

Negotiations have moved slowly because they’re not just between the village and the state, Koenig said. The money for the loan came from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which

• DISTRICT 26 Continued from page B1 for Cary Basketball Association events. This estimate includes only the times the district plowed, and then had to plow again to be ready for school.

“This was a historically atypical winter,” said Chris board member Christensen Chris Chris- Board member tensen.

However, last week board members opted to keep the rental rates flat.

School Board President Jason Larry said raising a

rental fee, which would most likely be passed onto participants, can act as a deterrent to families signing up youngsters for activities.

Board member Jennifer Crick added that there is no definitive use that the extra revenue would have been earmarked for.

“If we’re looking for $6,000 worth Jason Larry of revenue, is School board it worth it?” president Crick added.

“And if that’s what we really need to do, then we should be seeking out other groups to come in, instead of gouging the groups that we already have.”

Decision on property not expected

Richmond Village president also has to sign off on any deal.

“What I’m hearing is that we may have it resolved this year, but I think I’ve said that before,” Koenig said. “We’re taking it one year at a time.”

In the meantime, the interest-only payments aren’t breaking the bank.

The Richmond Village

would hurt participants

Board approved a balanced budget that includes $90,000 in sidewalk upgrades downtown and doesn’t raise water or sewer rates or any fees.

The board members figured that because they don’t know what’s happening with the loan, they’re not going to raise rates without a target, Koenig said.

• DISTRICT 300 Continued from page B1 which should be ready by early 2015. The children’s society, meanwhile, doesn’t have to vacate its current building near Parkview until next spring, according to terms of the property deal.

With the activity, District

300 likely won’t make decisions on the property until summer 2015, Bumbales said “We will really look at the viability of that building, whether we could convert it to something. ... We’ve talked about potentially razing the building and using it for parking,” he said. “There’s so many different options. We just haven’t gotten there yet.”

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS: BLACKHAWKS VS. WILD

Spare us, Hawks, close out fast The Minnesota Wild brought their ‘‘A’’ game to the United Center on Friday and still lost, 5-2, to the Blackhawks.

Thanks for coming, Wild men. Don’t forget to pick up your lovely parting gifts.

I say that for purely selfish reasons. The Wild Game 2 want to muck it up, to slow down the game, to vs. Minnesota, bring the Hawks down to 2 p.m. Sunday, their level and to make NBC, AM-720 onlookers want to take up solitaire for excitement’s sake.

In the name of hockey aesthetics, this must be stopped.

If the Wild win the series, boring

VIEWS Rick Morrissey wins. Graduation speeches win. Mime performances win. Do you understand the gravity of the situation?

The only team that can stop the Hawks from winning three more games in this series is theirs. The challenge will be avoiding the very real hazard of playing their opponent’s game.

Again, the Wild played a good game, putting all sorts of pressure on Hawks goalie Corey Crawford. And lost.

The grind-it-out style isn’t going to work against the Hawks. The problem for the Wild is that there is no other op-

tion. Their players can’t skate with the Hawks, so they have to clutch and grab and hang on.

But there is nothing they can do against someone such as Patrick Kane, whose talent and flair look like DayGlo to the Wild’s beige. Only a few players on the planet even would think of attempting his third-period game-winner.

He took the puck on his backhand from the blue line to the net and beat goalie Ilya Bryzgalov from an impossible angle, giving the Hawks a 3-2 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.

“Sometimes I make some lucky plays, and they find a way in,” Kane said afterward.

Sure.

BASEBALL: WOODSTOCK 10 MARENGO 0 (5 INN.)

Kammin pitches a 5-inning no-hitter

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Stanley, junior Amanda DeGroote, junior Caitlyn Adams and senior Caroline Zasadil – yet the Trojans are tied for first place in the FVC Valley. Adams also is coming back from an elbow injury.

It’s created a good problem for C-G coach Tammy Olson. The bevy of pitchers allows Olson to potentially create better matchups for the Trojans, although she avoids planning too far ahead as to who pitches when given the weather issues this season.

WOODSTOCK – Woodstock junior Zach Kammin, who finished the Blue Streaks’ painful loss at McHenry on Thursday, was back on the hill about 38 hours later showing no lingering effects.

“It’s baseball, it happens,” said Kammin, a right-hander who was tagged with that 8-7 loss. “It could happen to anybody against McHenry. It’s a new day, new game.”

K a m m i n turned in his best Zach Kammin performance of the season, striking out eight and firing a 10-0, five-inning, no-hitter against Marengo on Saturday morning at Emricson Park. Kammin walked two and one other Indian reached on an error.

“He just executed his pitches,” said Streaks coach John Oliveira, whose team is 5-10. “He committed to the pitch that was called, ‘Here’s the pitch I’m going to throw.’ It was good to see him work through it.”

Woodstock’s seventh-inning meltdown against McHenry hardly was the sole fault of Kammin, who retired one of the five batters he faced. McHenry scored seven runs in the bottom of the seventh off three pitchers for that victory. Kammin said he felt sharp while he was warming up Saturday, then he set down the first six batters he faced. “[Kammin] came in against McHenry in a tough spot with the bases loaded,” Woodstock catcher Eric Bell said. “He just had to clear his mind and think about Marengo. He was hitting the knees and the umpire was giving it all day, for both teams. He was pounding the zone.”

Trojans’ pitching depth shines through injuries

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com

C

ARY – Lauren Stanley can trace her shoulder problems to the end of last summer.

It’s an ordeal that has spanned nearly 10 months and slowed what the Cary-Grove senior pitcher had hoped would be a successful season to end her high school career.

But a strained rotator cuff and bicep tendinitis has limited Stanley to four games (two starts) this season. She officially was cleared last week to play. Stanley didn’t think

it was a big deal when her shoulder began hurting last summer, and in the fall she started physical therapy.

However, her shoulder continued to get worse and over the winter she attempted a rigorous physical therapy program and received a cortisone ejection.

“The experience last year gave me a lot more confidence from previous years,” Stanley said. “It’s been hard for it to take so long for an injury, especially when I was excited for my senior year, but it’s getting better.”

Coming off a junior year when she

thrived while ace Lindsay Efflandt was sidelined with an injury, Stanley was hoping that experience would spur her to a stellar senior year.

For Stanley, the lingering pain is something she will have to endure whenever she pitches.

“Through physical therapy I had to strengthen the muscles around it so now it’s icing and ibuprofen,” Stanley said.

Fortunately for the Trojans (11-7, 4-1 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division), their pitching depth has shined through injuries. C-G has started four pitchers this season –

THE 140TH RUNNING OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY

California Chrome breaks away

By BETH HARRIS The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A horse with a humble pedigree. A couple of working stiff owners. A 77-year-old trainer with his first Kentucky Derby horse.

Even Hollywood couldn’t have made this up.

California Chrome made it look easy Saturday, pulling away down the stretch to win the Derby by 1¾ lengths.

In a sport dominated by wealthy owners and regally bred horses from Kentucky’s bluegrass country, this was

Kentucky Derby payouts California Chrome Commanding Curve Danza

Win Place Show $7.00 5.60 4.20 31.80 15.40 6.00

a victory for the little guys. Owners Perry Martin and Steve Coburn bred an $8,000 mare to a $2,500 stallion to produce the winner of the world’s most famous race with their one-horse stable.

“This is just a dream come true and a great birthday present,’” said Coburn, who turned 61 on Saturday.

California Chrome ran 1¼ miles in 2:03.66 and paid $7, $5.60 and $4.20.

The chestnut colt was sent off as the 5-2 favorite by the crowd of 164,906, the second-largest in the Derby’s 140year history.

His trainer, Art Sherman, became the oldest trainer to win the Derby, 59 years after he traveled from California as an exercise rider for Derby winner Swaps. He watched that race from the barn area; this time he smelled red roses in the winner’s circle.

T

he Bears own the No. 14 overall pick in the NFL draft, which starts Thursday and continues through Saturday. Sports writers Tom Musick and Jeff Arnold discuss:

Musick: Finish this sentence (this is totally a trap question, by the way). “With the No. 14 pick in the first round of the NFL draft, the Chicago Bears select _____.”

Arnold: I always hated trick questions and this is the way you start? I think it’s safe from sitting in on Phil Emery’s Halas Hall chat that it’s not going to be an offensive player. How’s that for avoiding your question? So let’s move on from there. The popular choice seems to be Pittsburgh defensive end and pass rusher extraordinaire Aaron Donald. But Emery – in his coy little way – seemed to infer that he didn’t think Donald would be there at 14. So I’m going with a defensive back. Now you name which one.

Musick: I like your style. This feels like a game of tennis. Back and forth. Back and forth. In that spirit, I’ll say the Bears select Pete Sampras. Hang on a second, I’m now being told that Sampras is old, hairy and doesn’t play football. All right, so if it’s a cornerback you want, I’ll suggest Justin Gilbert out of Oklahoma State. Maybe he can be the next Peanut Tillman.

Arnold: I was more of a Jim Courier guy myself, but now we’re really getting off track. I’ve heard a lot of praise for Gilbert, mostly from our esteemed Chicago Football leader Hub Arkush. But I think if Gilbert is there at 14, the Bears would take him in a heartbeat. I selfishly wouldn’t mind Ha Ha Clinton-Dix – another name that has popped up in a lot of mock drafts.

But I say that because I think any stories we write in the future that feature Ha Ha would just write themselves.

Musick: Every time I see Clinton-Dix’s first name in print, I think of Nelson from “The Simpsons,” pointing and chirping, “HA-ha!” So, yeah, bring on Ha Ha. Not only does he have an awesome first name, but he plays safety. When’s the last time the Bears had a great safety? Like 1936? I also wouldn’t mind a stout defensive tackle – think Timmy Jernigan from Florida State – who is willing to spend a few Sunday afternoons making Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford squirm.

Arnold: Emery made it clear that the Bears are going on the defensive in what he called an offensive-oriented draft. I think that’s where much of the improvement has to come if they hope to return to the playoffs. The Bears have made a lot of noise in free agency, but Emery likes the idea of open competitions and seemed to infer that only a few players, including linebacker Lance Briggs and I would assume Jared Allen, have locked up starting jobs. Maybe HBO’s “Hard Knocks” would be good to get everything in the open.

Emery seems to be up for that right?

Musick: I think he’d rather change his first name to Ha Ha or He He or ROFL. But regardless of whether “Hard Knocks” comes to Bourbonnais, the draft should make for some dramatic TV viewing for Bears fans. Maybe they’ll take Jimmy Connors?

Arnold: Just to make life more interesting, they should go after someone who yells at people and throws a tantrum once in a while.

Oh wait, Jay Cutler already is on the roster. Guess that settles that.

When he landed his first job at Gordon Tech more than four decades ago, David Proffitt wasn’t sure coaching high school football would carry him through an entire career. But after coaching and then leaving for 11 years to work in sales, Proffitt returned. He has worked as the head coach at Marian Central for 11 years as well as an assistant at Crystal Lake Central and Cary-Grove before leaving for Lake Zurich, where the recent Illinois High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame inductee again became a head coach after working for six years as the school’s defensive coordinator.

Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is a real honor and I’m humbled by it – and that’s really an understatement. To be recognized by your

David Proffitt

peers is always a great honor and I’m no exception to that, meaning, being appreciative of that honor.

But like with a lot of honors – or any honor that I could think of off the top of my head, there are so many people involved in getting me where I am today.

I could go on for hours trying to name off people who were instrumental as far as my career as a coach and as a human being, which I consider far more important than coaching – trying to be a good person day in and day out. I’ve seen good coaches who are (jerks) and so it’s not a gimme that if you’re a good coach, you’re going to be a good person. And yet, there are a lot of good people who weren’t good coaches. So I don’t think it goes hand-in-hand. But I’ve been fortunate that people I have been associated with, I consider to be very, very good coaches and good people.

I really had no ambition in college to be a coach and I think that happens to a lot of people no matter what profession they go into. You come out of college and you take a job and you’re not really sure what you’re going to do with your life. You’re paying the bills and that’s good. But as I got into (coaching), it was probably three or four years when I realized I wanted to be a head coach. I really came to understand that is what I really enjoyed doing and what I wanted to do as long as I possibly could.

At the end of the day, I could look myself in the mirror and tell myself that I did the best I could to make young men better people and then after that, better football players. But there’s no indecisiveness on my part, that if I couldn’t help them become a better person, it didn’t make a difference if they became a better football player. I needed to get across to them the importance of them being a better human being in our society today. I’ve found that good football coach – everyone I’ve come in contact with – they’ve been good teachers. Having said that, the wins and the losses will take care of themselves. Sometimes, coaches have little control over the outcome of a football game. But we have a whole lot of control over helping our players become better. And ultimately, that should be our goal. That’s what we teach our kids – let’s get better today and then we’re going to work on getting better tomorrow. But we don’t think about tomorrow. We’re only concerned about today and let yesterday and tomorrow take care of themselves.

What has coaching taught me about myself? To be patient. It is a great and humbling experience to be patient and understanding in working with people and being able to communicate with people.

Like I said, I’ve also learned how to be able, at the end of the day, to look to be able to look in the mirror and say, ‘I did the best I could today’ and let today’s happenings go by the wayside and not take it to bed with you. And that’s not always easy to do especially with some of the tough losses I’ve experienced in my career.

How long will I coach? I get asked that quite a bit.

I really don’t have a pat answer other than to say, ‘I really don’t know.’ My health is good - thank God. I still have an energy and a passion for the game and to be involved with the game. Having said that, I take one day at a time, one season at a time and when I feel like I cannot contribute to the well-being and the upbringing of players and have some influence on young people, then I’ll stop. And I think you know when it’s time. I know I’ll know when it’s time.

8SPORTS SHORTS Loyola wins NCAA volleyball title CHICAGO – Loyola of Chicago opposite hitter Joe Smalzer no longer has a chip on his shoulder about being an underdog.

California schools have long dominated men’s volleyball while only a few other schools have won a national title.

Top-seeded Loyola joined the elite group, beating third-seeded Stanford, 3-1, on Saturday night for the Ramblers’ first NCAA men’s volleyball title.

For any doubters, Smalzer can point to Loyola’s NCAA trophy.

“We show it by how we play,” Smalzer said. “We were ranked No. 1 I think all but two or three weeks this year. For all the people that are hating on us, look at the scores. Look at the wins. Look at our record.”

Tossed toilet bowl kills Brazilian soccer fan SAO PAULO – A Brazilian soccer fan was killed when he was struck in the head by a toilet bowl hurled from stadium stands as supporters of rival clubs clashed in the northeastern World Cup host city of Recife, police said Saturday.

Also this weekend, authorities detained more than 40 people because of fan fighting outside the stadium that will host World Cup matches in the nearby city of Natal.

A police officer in Recife said the death occurred Friday at Arruda Stadium after a second-division match between Santa Cruz and visiting Parana. He spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Fire lose to unbeaten Real Salt Lake BRIDGEVIEW – Joao Plata scored twice in the final 24 minutes, including the winner in stoppage time, to help Real Salt Lake remain unbeaten with a 3-2 victory over the winless Fire on Saturday night.

Alvaro Saborio tied it 1 second into stoppage time for Real Salt Lake (4-0-5). Plata, who cut the Fire’s lead in half with a 12-yard shot in the 72nd minute, beat the Fire’s Sean Johnson with the winner in the 93rd minute, halfway through stoppage time.

The Fire (0-2-6) scored twice in the first 30 minutes.

Mike Magee and Juan Luis Anangono beat Real’s Nick Rimando from close range, with Anangono doing so on a pretty header set up by Greg Cochrane.

Pitching depth a good problem to have for C-G • TROJANS Continued from page C1 “I’m certainly cognizant that everyone wants to play,” Olson said.

DeGroote emerged as the workhorse on the staff with Stanley and Adams nursing their injuries early in the season. DeGroote embraced the role as the Trojans’ No. 1 pitcher while her teammates were sidelined.

“It’s exciting, but they’re such good friends of mine,” DeGroote said.

“To have them back is exciting.”

Having multiple pitching options on any given game day is a perk for C-G. DeGroote said by being able to use different pitchers and not rely on just one arm, it helps keep a pitcher’s arm fresh for every game. Typically, most teams only use two pitchers during a season.

Olson said watching their pitching counts and moving them around to capitalize on their strengths factors into her decision-making process.

“I think they’re all handling it extremely well,” Olson said of her

Adams said it hasn’t been too bad coming back from her elbow injury, and building stamina hasn’t been a big issue because she ran cross country in the fall. Physical therapy helped her regain strength in her elbow.

“Once I started, I got back into the flow of things,” Adams said. “We’re all pretty close. We’re all there to get the job done.”

With the playoffs beginning in less than a month, C-G ideally would go with one pitcher during the postseason. But there still are plenty of games left before Olson needs to Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com make that decision.

NORTHWEST HERALD The Marengo softball team finished in fourth place after losing to Hononegah, 10-9, in the third-place game of the Marengo tournament Saturday in Marengo.

Hononegah scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to claim third place. Abby Kissack was 4 for 5 with two home runs and four RBIs in the game.

In the early games, Marengo lost to Andrew, 8-7, in nine innings and beat Fenton, 22-0 in five. Against Andrew, Veronica Ruelius was 4 for 4 with three runs score, a double and three RBIs, and Gabbi Markison added a home run. Kissack pitched a five-inning perfect game against Fenton. Allison Jasinski was 2 for 2 with four RBIs and two home runs in the team’s lone win of the day.

Maggie Cherveny won the triple jump at 33-11 and was fifth in the long jump. Nicole Robins tied for second in the high jump and Sabrina Mishall was third in pole vault.

Olivia Roehri was second to Freeman in the discus and second in shot put.

Freeman placed fourth in the shot.

Woodstock Invite: At Woodstock, Huntley finished second (90 points) behind meet winner Yorkville (93). Woodstock finished with 40.5 points, while Harvard (8), Woodstock North (0), and Jacobs (0) also competed. Huntley got wins from Delaney Lyman in the pole vault (9-6.1) and Macy Tramblay in the 100 hurdles (15.46). Maura Beattie took second in the 1,600 (5:09.10) for Woodstock, while Harvard’s Sophie Stricker took third in the 400 (1:00.75).

Pohlman has double, 2 RBIs • BASEBALL Continued from page C1 Kammin would not have had a complete no-hitter without the offensive help. He had thrown 71 pitches and Oliveira was pulling him in the sixth, although Kammin pleaded his case for staying in.

“Pitch count weighs over [the no-hitter],” Oliveira said.

“He had a little shoulder soreness last week. We had a short leash on him and I’m glad we got that last run.”

Jordan Sumner struck out for what would have been the third out in the bottom of the fifth inning, but reached first base on a passed ball. Bell then ripped a double into the leftfield corner and Sumner raced home to end the game by the mercy rule.

Marengo (6-8) struggled behind starter Josh Sheahan (03), who was pulled in the third

inning, although four of Woodstock’s five runs at that point were unearned. Indians coach Josh Maas said Sheahan had developed blood blisters on fingers on his pitching hand.

“When your defense doesn’t feel like making a play, it makes it pretty difficult,” Maas said. “Embarrassing is the only way to describe it. We were a team who had good aspirations for this season. The talent’s there, the attitude just isn’t. I need to fix something.

We need to get it together quickly. It was a bad day at the ballpark.”

Jace Pohlman was 2 for 3 with a double and two RBIs for the Streaks. Cameron Grisolia also drove in a pair of runs. “[The McHenry loss] was tough,” Bell said. “Coming with prom today, we wanted to come in with Marengo fast, and end this game quick so we could go dance.”

The Blackhawks’ Andrew Shaw celebrates after scoring a goal April 23 during the second period in Game 4 of a first-round playoff series against the St. Louis Blues at the United Center.

HAWKS

Shaw could miss Game 2

By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw is questionable for Game 2 on Sunday against the Minnesota Wild after suffering a lower-body injury when he was checked hard by defenseman Clayton Stoner in the first period of Game 1.

Coach Joel Quenneville does not expect Shaw’s injury to be a long-term situation. Shaw, 22, has missed two games because of injury Andrew Shaw since joining the Hawks in January 2012, both of them in December.

The Hawks lost both games – 4-3 to the Wild in Minneapolis on Dec. 5 and 3-2 in a shootout to the Anaheim Ducks on Dec. 6 at the United Center.

Captain Jonathan Toews said it will be up to the team to make up for the loss of the grit Shaw provides.

“It’s going to take a heck of a lot to keep that guy down,” Toews said. “But that’s something we can be conscious of – what Shaw brings to the table

with his physicality and how he never gives up on plays.

We’ve got to be thinking of that and bringing part of that if we’re going to be playing without guys like him. It’s something our entire team has to focus on [Sunday].”

Versteeg scratch: Winger Kris Versteeg, a healthy scratch in Game 6 against the Blues last week, was scratched in Game 1 because of illness, Quenneville said.

“Versteeg was going to play; just under the weather,” Quenneville said. “So after warmup, we made the change.”

No run for the roses: In January, it appeared that Midnight Hawk, the thoroughbred owned by Quenneville, assistant Mike Kitchen and former Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice, was on pace to start in the Kentucky Derby.

But Midnight Hawk, who won his first two races, was withdrawn from Derby consideration by trainer Bob Baffert after finishing second as a 2-5 favorite in the Illinois Derby.

“Was hoping [for a shot at the Derby]; that would have

been special,” Quenneville said. “Our horse is a pretty good horse. He’s raced against a few of the horses that will be in [the Derby]. We’ll watch and see.”

Midnight Hawk still was a candidate for the Preakness on May 17 at Pimlico, but Quenneville said Midnight Hawk would not run in that race because of an injury.

“Lower body,” he said.

“Not much upper body [on a horse].”

Sticking with Bryzgalov: Wild coach Mike Yeo doesn’t have a lot of options in goal, but Ilya Bryzgalov will be in net for Game 2. Yeo’s only healthy option is John Curry, who has played in six NHL games.

Bryzgalov allowed four goals on 21 shots in Game 1 – although most goaltenders would have struggled to stop any of the four.

In his past five starts, Bryzgalov is 1-4 with a 4.96 goals-against average and .819 save percentage.

“I feel pretty good that he’s going to play well [in Game 2],” Yeo said. “I’m not too sure what he could’ve done on too many goals that went in.”

NASCAR SPRINT CUP: AARON’S 499

Scott leads RCR to pole win at Talladega

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press TALLADEGA, Ala. – A group decision for all of the cars powered by Earnhardt Childress engines to work together at Talladega Superspeedway proved the correct call in NASCAR’s new knockout qualifying format.

Richard Childress Racing drivers and their affiliates swept the first three rows on the starting grid for Sunday’s race, with the pole going to Brian Scott, who will lead the field to the green flag in only his fifth career Sprint Cup Series start.

“Who would have thought that, huh?” Scott asked after Saturday’s qualifying session.

Cars with ECR engines took six of the 12 spots in the third and final round of knockout qualifying, and they all waited patiently on pit road for someone to make a move. It came with roughly two minutes, 20 seconds remaining in the five-minute session, when all 12 drivers made their way onto the track.

Tony Stewart posted the fastest lap as he worked with the other three Stewart-Haas Racing drivers, and as the clock neared the final buzzer, it appeared the three-time NASCAR champion had the pole locked up.

Then came the ECR pack of cars, with Ryan Newman leading, Scott somewhere in the middle and Paul Menard bringing up the rear. Team owner Childress had designated Newman as the driver to decide when the pack should go, and Menard was charged with pushing them along.

Just as time expired, the entire group shot past Stewart’s speed and moved to the top of the leaderboard.

It was Scott on the pole, fol-

California Chrome wins 5th straight • DERBY Continued from page C1 Sherman was all smiles after the race. “He gave me the biggest thrill I ever had in my life,” he said.

California Chrome has the unlikeliest pedigree for a Derby champion. His mother, named Love the Chase, won only one race. She was purchased by Coburn and Martin, a move that prompted a trainer to call them “dumb asses” for getting involved in racing.

Feeling inspired, they named their operation DAP Racing, which stands for Dumb Ass Partners. Their silks include an image of a donkey.

Coburn lives near Reno, Nevada, rising at 4:30 a.m. for

his job as a press operator at a 13-employee company that makes magnetic strips for credit cards and driver licenses.

Martin lives on the California side of the border near Reno, running a laboratory that tests high-reliability equipment, like car air bags and medical equipment.

Coburn and Martin’s partnership is based on a handshake, and their wives are friends who enjoy the sport, too. The group came up with California Chrome’s name by drawing it out of a hat. The horse hadn’t even been out of his home state until this week.

“Sometimes you don’t get a lot of respect,” Sherman said.

“We’re in Kentucky and you know most of the Derby winners are bred here and few outside of Kentucky.”

Sherman visited Swaps’ grave near the Derby museum earlier in the week and whispered a prayer: “I hope he’s another Swaps.”

He sure was.

California Chrome extended his winning streak to five races, won by a combined 26 lengths. It was the second Derby win for Espinoza, who rode War Emblem to victory in 2002.

“I thought he rode him perfect,” said Sherman, a former jockey. “I was riding the last 70 yards with Victor, so I think he was riding two. He had a lot of weight on him, I can tell you that.”

Espinoza had California Chrome sitting comfortably in third in the 19-horse field as Uncle Sigh and Chitu set the early pace.

Casey Mears, also an affiliated driver, qualified fourth and was followed by Daytona 500 pole-sitter Austin Dillon and Newman.

“It was just a great plan

by RCR, getting all the RCR alliance cars working together,” Allmendinger said. “We worked on that (in practice) and felt like we all had great speed. Ryan was the guinea pig for all of us and timed it right, and that last session, it was just basically who was going to wait the longest to go out there.”

It was the first time NASCAR has used its new knockout format on a restrictor-plate track in the Sprint Cup Series.

Daytona 500 qualifying in February was done with traditional single-car runs.

“The qualifying format, I think there are good tracks for it and bad tracks for it, and this is definitely a great track for it,” Menard said. “We had a plan and we tried to stick to the plan as best we could. Ryan, we put the burden on him to decide when to go and where to go, and the rest of us held it in line. ECR top-six and RCR cars all up there is pretty exciting.”

Now Scott gets to show what he’s made of on one of NASCAR’s fastest tracks. A Nationwide Series regular, he’s got three previous starts this season and finished 25th in the Daytona 500.

“ WHY ARE SOME ROOMS UNCOMFORTABLE?” Most homes have a room, or multiple rooms, that are warmer or colder than the rest of the house. This problem could be due to a number of duct design issues. However, the most common problem is due to leaks in the duct work.

A properly installed duct system is designed to distribute the airflow evenly throughout the house. Leakage in the system causes a pressure drop, which causes poor airflow in the rooms that are usually farthest from the furnace. Duct leakage can vary from 25% to 40%, which not only affects your comfort, but also the cost of operation.

Official Heating and Cooling is an authorized dealer for Aeroseal, a patented design product that seals ductwork from the inside. Our average job results in a 92-95% improvement. This greatly improves your comfort level and saves an average of 25% on operating costs.

Sox already missing Eaton at the top of the lineup With leadoff man on DL, defeat resembles 1 of 99 in 2013 season

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

Next

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com CLEVELAND – Adam Eaton is on the disabled list, and it didn’t take long for the White Sox to miss him.

Less than 24 hours, to be exact.

With Alejandro De Aza replacing Eaton in the leadoff spot for the first time, it was dark shades of 2013 as the Sox’s offense managed five hits and looked flat doing it in Adam Eaton losing their fourth straight. Not that De Aza (1 for 4), who is better suited for the lower third of the order than the top spot, was at fault. But for some reason the Sox, who have done a bang-up job putting the disaster that was last season behind them in large part because of Eaton’s effectiveness as a leadoff guy and the energy he brings, played much like the team that lost 99 games last year without the banged-up Eaton on the field.

Scott Carroll (1-1) was excellent again in his second start in as many outings in the majors, but he got dinged for two unearned runs because of a dropped pop-up by third baseman Marcus Semien (his sixth error) in the second inning and a throwing error by Tyler Flowers in the fifth that eventually led to the Indians’ second run.

Adam Dunn had two hits, including a double, but was inexcusably thrown out at third on a grounder to shortstop.

Eaton, who had been favoring a sore left leg, pulled his right hamstring overcompensating. He knew it was time to take a break and get well and seemed relieve.

“To be honest with you, I’m tired of battling it for 2½, three weeks when I don’t have the legs I need to have,” Eaton said Saturday.

“As much as I hate to be on the rack not helping anybody, your legs need a rest and you need to take care of some stuff. That’s the realization of it.”

Eaton’s gung-ho style doesn’t always lend itself to good long-range health,

at Cleveland, 12:05 p.m. Sunday, CSN, AM-670 but the leg injuries were more from running hard and misfortune than recklessness. He has stopped diving head-first into first base at management’s behest, but he’s not about to stop crashing into walls to make plays in center field.

“You don’t want to reel him in,” manager Robin Ventura said. “You do if you see something wrong. But the way he plays is the way he plays.

That’s part of the attractiveness of him. You like that kind of player and that’s what makes him good. You don’t want to take that away from a guy.”

AP photo

White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu tosses his glove with the ball to starting pitcher Scott Carroll to get Indians batter Lonnie Chisenhall out at first base in the sixth inning Saturday in Cleveland. The Sox lost, 2-0.

Eaton said he has contemplated scaling it back, but not for long.

“I’m no good on the DL, I understand that,” he said. “It’s definitely something that runs through my head. But this [injury] is nothing to do with

playing hard. It’s baseball, things happen. You can say this about any injury. Chris (Sale) shouldn’t throw 92 in the eighth inning? That’s baseball.”

“It’s a byproduct of his style,” first base and outfield-

ers coach Daryl Boston said.

“Eventually, he’ll grow into when he can and can’t do those things, but right now we just have to let the guy play.

He’s the energy we’ve lacked in the past. He’s already given the clubhouse a boost and I’m not going to ask him to back off.

“He’s a dimension and presence we need at the plate and on defense. We need him on the field.”

Justin Masterson (1-1) pitched 7⅓ scoreless innings.

Jose Abreu (0 for 4) had an eventful yet uneventful night, striking out twice, including a three-pitch whiff against three off-speed pitches out of the strike zone from Cody Allen with runners on second and third in the eighth. The first baseman also couldn’t get a ball out of his glove after fielding Lonnie Chisenhall’s ground ball in the sixth, flipping his glove and ball to Carroll covering first for the out.

NFL DRAFT

Page C8 • Sunday, May 4, 2014

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

HOFers believe Sam will be accepted

By TOM WITHERS The Associated Press CLEVELAND – Once Michael Sam is drafted in the NFL, the Missouri defensive end will be judged strictly on whether he can play and whether he can help his team win.

Everything else – even that he’s gay – will be trivial.

As the first openly homosexual player to enter the draft, Sam could face scrutiny unlike any player before him. But many of the greatest players and coaches in football history don’t believe he’ll be subjected to any hatred, harassment, discrimination or bullying by teammates.

“I don’t think he’ll have any problem in the locker room. I don’t think he’ll have any problems on the field,” Hall of Fame offensive tackle Art Shell said. “The one thing about football players, they’re inclusive. They will take you for who you are, not what people try to portray you as.

“It’s who you are: ‘You’re a football player, then you can play with us.’ I don’t see that as being a problem in the [NFL].”

Shell’s stance was shared by several other Hall of Famers, including Lions running back Barry Sanders, Buffalo coach Marv Levy, and Giants linebacker Harry Carson, who appeared along with nearly 100 other inductees at a two-day “Fan Marv Levy Fest,” the largest gathering ever of football legends outside Canton, Ohio.

Sanders, who retired at the peak of his career after the 1998 season with 15,269 career yards rushing, believes there’s an unwritten code among football players to ignore anything other than a person’s skills and talents.

“From the time you’re a kid and you start playing, you’re almost programmed for ‘Can a guy play

or not?’ ” he said. “By the time you get to the NFL, that’s well ingrained. I’m pretty sure every guy in this league has been around gay individuals before, and so I don’t think it will be much different.”

Sam’s courageous decision to reveal his sexual orientation was an important personal milestone.

It also was a historic moment for the NFL and all major sports as it provides a deeper reflection of society’s openness and willingness to accept his individuality.

Sam’s revelation might not have been met with such overwhelming approval a few years ago. In the macho arena that is pro football, Sam might have been an outcast in previous generations.

“He’s a very bold guy to come out,” said cornerback Michael Haynes, a nine-time Pro Bowler elected to the Hall of Fame in 1997.

“The timing is good. If he’d done that in the ’60s or ’70s, maybe not so good because everybody was really struggling with how to understand

differences like that in people.

“Diversity has become a critical topic, people are talking about it all the time and I think the world is different. Remember Magic Johnson with AIDS? It starts with education. He’ll be judged on football.”

Carson, who retired in 1988 after 13 seasons in New York, said he was “proud” of Sam for choosing to be open about his sexuality. Carson recalled that one of his Giants teammates, offensive lineman Roy Simmons, was suspected as being gay and never was ostracized.

“It never really swayed anyone’s opinion of him,” Carson said.

“But it’s something he lived with and he didn’t have to by himself because he had teammates, and the teammates he had were guys who supported him. Even though he never said anything, we’re a team and guys on the team who are unselfish are going to support their teammates regardless of how they choose to live their lives.”

Linebacker Michael Sam runs onto the field with his Missouri teammates before a game against Georgia on Sept. 8, 2012, in Columbia, Mo. With Sam, who is openly gay, about to be drafted into the NFL, several members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame believe he will be readily accepted and won’t endure any discrimination.

SUCCESS Kathleen Caldwell

Get out in front of change “Change is the law of life, and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” – John F. Kennedy Change is inevitable and unavoidable.

You can either do change or change will do you, and it won’t be pretty. Whether you are making changes personally or professionally, making positive change stick is a key indicator between success and failure.

The blueprint for successful change is rarely a straight, linear or perfect process. There will be difficulties and setbacks. External forces will conspire to support or oppose you, often simultaneously. The following recommendations will streamline your designs for successful change: Get a clear vision of the results you want and identify the specific goals for the change initiative. Ask yourself and your team, “What do we really, really, really want?” and “Why do we really, really, really want it?” It is remarkable how many people are not clear about what they really want and why they really want it and end up underperforming and not realizing their full potential.

Once you have a clear vision of the change and why you want it, identify the barriers, whether they are real or perceived, and develop plans to overcome the obstacles to success. There will be tension and stumbling blocks to realize your vision and having solid plans will keep the momentum going.

Brainstorm on the possible unintended consequences of the new changes. In your business, changing your global distribution strategy could result in new issues around customer service, order fulfillment and supply-chain optimization.

Personal change, such as a new health/wellness improvement plan, could result in buying new, smaller clothes, updated exercise equipment and increased energy.

Bring in all of your experts to plan for the contingencies and use the “what if” question to evaluate the positive and negative impact of your change initiative. Compile all of this valuable information and create an interactive planning document.

Once you have created your planning blueprint, you can now turn to the people side of the change process. Humans go through a fourphase mental change process either consciously or subconsciously. By understanding these phases, you will be able to support yourself and your team and solidify the change for good: Phase One – Consideration: Individuals need to think about the change and weigh the effect on them personally and professionally. Before a person can move on to the next phase, their fear of the unknown and concern for loss need to be reconciled. It is natural that positive and negative concerns will be in the mix of options. You can help them to evaluate the options and conduct their research. The effective use of role models and coaches are critical at this phase.

Phase Two – Investigation: After deliberation and consideration, people can begin to focus on the real, tangible benefits of the change rather than their perceived losses.

Positive outcomes come into view, and possibilities for actions begin to appear. As a leader, you can support your team through education, mentoring, coaching and positive reinforcement.

Phase Three – Activity: Momentum starts to take hold, and people take action. It is important to help your employees believe they will succeed by providing positive feedback and communicating what works and what doesn’t. You can support them to take small incremental steps that can be done every day and, over time, will give them and you the benefits of compounded effort and engagement.

Phase Four – Mastery: By now, you have enough experience to realize positive results and keep the mo-

Customers sit down for dinner last month at Montarra Grill in Algonquin.

Maintaining standards at Montarra Grill Algonquin restaurant still going strong after recession

By CYNTHIA WOLF editorial@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – When partners George Kanellos and Dennis Koukounaras bought Montarra Grill from its original owners about eight years ago, the future looked bright.

Today, it looks even brighter. The economic pressure cooker of the past several years, however, made for a rocky ride, said Kanellos, whose Algonquin fine-dining establishment recently was named one of the 12 best Illinois restaurants not in Chicago by Thrillist.

“We bought Montarra right before the recession, about a year before the floor fell out,” Kanellos said. “The area had been exploding. Homes were being built. People had quite a bit of disposable income. ...

“Obviously we didn’t know the economy was going to collapse within 12 months.”

Hard economic times can be especially devastating to those in the restaurant business, as erstwhile diners’ disposable incomes dwindle.

But, as Kanellos, his loyal staff and their repeat customers would declare, this is not your average eatery.

Even while the bottom line dipped into the red for a few years, attention to quality never wavered, they said. At Montarra, guests are greeted and treated as family, the surroundings are elegant, and the food, sublime.

“Our check averages were down anywhere between 10 [percent] and 13 percent,” Kanellos said of the lean years. “When you’re dealing with a restaurant, you’re already operating on a small margin, and when you have a decrease of that size, it takes a big bite out of the bottom line.

“But one thing we did not do was cheapen our brand,” he said. “We stuck it out, and I know it’s paying dividends now.”

In fact, Kanellos and Koukounaras have invested in another dining establishment, Terra, a bistro that opened a couple of years ago in Evanston.

Meanwhile, the Algonquin restaurant – a contemporary American steakhouse nestled somewhat oddly in a strip mall across from Algonquin Commons – thrills its customers with five-star service, creative and exquisite food, and surroundings that include not one, but two Chihuly chandeliers.

Executive chef Dave Perlick has been with Montarra since its 2004 beginning, and while he’s known for dishes such as truffle- and brie-crusted filet mignon with a sherry brown butter sauce, he believes there’s more to a winning restaurant recipe than culinary expertise.

“I’ve always had a passion to be around people and to be around the kitchen, ever since I was 3 years old,” Perlick said.

“But this business is about hospitality – not just great food and great wine and ambiance. It’s about hospitality.”

Perlick and General Manager Andrea Lekics said they are happy to accommodate special requests, from birthday celebrations to vegetarian or gluten-free meals.

“We try to treat Montarra as if we were entertaining guests in our own home,” Lekics said.

“You want everyone to feel unique and special.”

The restaurant’s recent Thrillist accolade has brought a new surge of interest, which, of course, is welcome.

“People are fortunate to have a restaurant of this caliber so close by,” Kanellos said. “They don’t have to drive to Woodfield or Schaumburg or Chicago.”

The menu, which changes seasonally, is available online. Recent prices ranged from $19 for butternut squash ravioli to about $35 for a mixed grille of lamb rack, filet mignon and duck confit.

“The area has supported us,” Kanellos said, “and we’re very grateful.”

Protect your business with the latest technology The world of office technology is always changing.

Once you figure something out, it is on the verge of being obsolete.

That is one of the things I enjoy about office technology. It is never static. It is never stagnant. It is always evolving.

In an effort to keep your employees and your company current, you invest in products and services to keep it cutting edge and ahead of your competition.

One way to let your competition

OFFICE TECHNOLOGY Mike Splitt get ahead is to not invest in your business technology. In doing my research, I found that it is recommended to spend 2 percent of your gross sales on investing in office communication technology annually. How many of us really do that?

Can you keep an eye on your employees and building remotely?

If you could, would it make you relieved? If an accident or incident occurred, would it help to have a visual copy of it stored on a hard drive? Is your inventory shrinking via theft or shoplifting? Do you think having a closed-circuit TV system installed at your business will deter inventory shrinkage?

You bet it will. Just having it installed will immediately slow down theft. Having signage in tandem with cameras also will scare away the culprits to someone else to steal

from.

The cameras you install can help in so many ways. Some cameras will see in the dark. Most are motion sensitive, meaning the cameras are sleeping until something moves, then wake up and record for the duration of movement. As an added benefit, several insurance companies will discount your rates if you have a qualified closed-circuit TV system installed.

Don’t cash out your 401(k) to pay off debt Dear Dave, I’m 23, transitioning jobs, and I make $32,000 a year. I have $11,000 in a 401(k), and about $15,000 in debt. Should I cash out the 401(k) to pay down my debt?

– Cody

Dear Cody, I don’t think so. When you take money out of a 401(k), they charge you a 10 percent penalty, plus your tax rate. Your tax rate is about 20 percent, so that means you’re going to take a 30 percent hit.

While I love dumping debt, your idea would be kind of like saying, “I want to borrow $11,000 at 30 percent interest to pay off my debt.” That doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it?

I never tell folks to cash out a

401(k) or IRA to pay off debt, unless it’s the only way to avoid foreclosure or bankruptcy. You’re not facing either one of those situations, Cody.

So my answer is no.

– Dave

Dear Dave, What do you think about making bi-weekly mortgage payments?

– Jeremiah

Dear Jeremiah, I think it’s an awesome idea. By doing that, you can pay off a 30-year mortgage in about 22.8 years, on average, depending on the interest rate.

However, I would never pay someone a fee to set up bi-weekly

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey mortgage payments. All you do on a bi-weekly schedule is make half a payment every two weeks. Since there are 26 two-week periods per year, that equals 13 whole payments. It’s nothing magical, and it’s not difficult.

Go for it, Jeremiah. Get rid of that house payment as fast as you can. Just don’t pay extra fees to make it happen.

– Dave

Dear Dave, I owe the IRS $6,000, and currently I’m making monthly payments.

Should I roll this debt into my debt snowball, and then really attack it when it gets to the top of the list?

– Jared

Dear Jared, My advice would be to put the IRS at the very top of your debt snowball. Usually, when it comes to paying off debt, I advise people to arrange their debt snowball from smallest to largest, then start with the smallest one and work their way up. This doesn’t always seem to make mathematical sense, but the truth is personal finance is 80 percent behavior and only 20 percent head knowledge.

Paying off some small debts quickly energizes you and gives you motivation. It makes you feel

CHICAGO – RE/MAX Plaza continues to expand its presence in McHenry and Lake counties.

Three brokers recently rejoined RE/ MAX as members of the RE/MAX Plaza sales team. The firm now has 41 brokers at its headquarters in McHenry and locations in Richmond, Wauconda and Woodstock.

“Building our team to more than 40 is really a milestone for us,” said Rob Schaid, broker/owner of RE/MAX Plaza.

“It is especially gratifying to welcome three such experienced brokers with strong reputations in the markets they serve. Adding them to our broker team puts us in a great position to handle the upswing in the market that has been gradually emerging over the last 18 months and that we expect to continue for some time.”

The three most recent additions to the RE/MAX Plaza brokerage team are Regina Perkins, Larry W. Smith and Paula Hauck, all former RE/MAX agents.

Perkins and Smith have joined the Woodstock office, which opened last year and has nine brokers. Both brokers have long focused their activity in the Harvard market and will continue to serve that area.

Hauck is working again at the McHenry office, where she was affiliated previously for six years.

BARRINGTON – Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital’s cancer program has received the Outstanding Achievement Award from the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Commission on Cancer.

Good Shepherd is one of five hospitals in the state of Illinois to receive this recognition.

“Earning this national distinction is clear evidence that our remarkable cancer team offers our community the finest cancer treatment,” said Karen Lambert, president of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital.

Established in 2004, the ACS Commission on Cancer Outstanding Achievement Award is designed to recognize cancer programs that strive for excellence in providing quality care to cancer patients.

A facility or program can earn the award after an on-site evaluation by a physician surveyor during which the program demonstrates compliance with seven standards of excellence established by the commission: cancer committee leadership, cancer data management, clinical management, research, community outreach and quality improvement efforts.

“We are proud to be part of such a talented team that excels in all key cancer program standards and offers patients groundbreaking cancer treatment innovation, technology and research,” said Michael Soble, cancer committee chairman at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital.

Intermatic lighting control system wins competition

McHenry man founds ProFix

SPRING GROVE – Intermatic, a global leader in energy management solutions, announced its LightMaster LM2-O-120 lighting control system was named the Lighting Control Equipment Category Winner in EC&M’s 2014 Product of the Year competition.

LightMaster was selected for the honor

by EC&M’s 16-judge panel representing electrical professionals from engineering, contracting, plant facilities and maintenance industries.

“We’re very proud to receive this vote of confidence from EC&M, a leading industry publication,” said Bryan Povish, Intermatic’s marketing manager. “Our customers have been delighted with the safety and energy-saving benefits of LightMaster, and it’s gratifying to have this validation from independent experts.”

With LightMaster’s sensors, users have the power to illuminate facilities based on natural light.

Sensors can be placed anywhere within a 330-foot radius from the controls and use different settings for different areas of a location.

LightMaster joins 43 other product category winners as a finalist in EC&M’s 2014 Product of the Year competition.

McHENRY – Frank McClatchey developed a reputation among friends for knowing just what to do when their computers slowed to a crawl – or worse.

Now, the 58-year-old McHenry resident’s former hobby is his vocation. McClatchey has started ProFix, which offers computer and laptop repair, data recovery and backup, virus and spyware detection and removal, software instal- Frank lation, driver updates and McClatchey optimization, website development assistance and more.

“For more than 18 years, I’ve been repairing computers and helping people out with their technological questions,” said McClatchey, who in February departed the computer and tech repair division of a large corporate entity to devote himself full time to ProFix. “New technology comes out every six months,” he said. “I stay on top of it.”

McClatchey said he is excited to be doing what he loves while helping people to overcome some frustrating technology scenarios. He said he realizes, these days especially, people rely on their home computers. ProFix offers a flat rate of $55 for most repairs.

Change, success take time, commitment for business • CALDWELL Continued from page D1 mentum going. At this phase, it is important to have the right structures, processes and team members in place to support the new change. Change for good doesn’t happen overnight, but is instead a process and takes time.

Change is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Now that you have your plans, processes and people aligned, communicate. Meet regularly, formally and informally, and discuss all of the parts of your plan with a view toward discovering its weak spots. Make sure that you and your team go “all in” on the new project. Half-measured effort

will yield half-measured results. Your team will know the difference, and your plan will have a greater chance of failure.

Hesitancy is the enemy of positive change. You have to embrace change, know that resistance is futile and adapt or adopt it. You can upgrade your thinking to examine the energy you expended to avoid change and redirect it to take advantage of change. Roll with the phases of change, and you will experience more flow and freedom.

The more flexible and agile you and your employees are, the quicker you can move through this change and get ready for the next one, because there is always a next one.

Change and success take time. Build-

ing a successful and agile business and career take commitment and time. So does creating an attitude of welcoming and encouraging change – personally and professionally.

Jack Welch once advised, “Change before you have to.” Keep committed to your change success plan, be an enthusiastic role model and celebrate the victories along the way.

But the IRS is a different animal altogether. Their interest rates and penalties are ridiculously high.

Forward-thinker will plan • SPLITT Continued from page D1 If you think about what you have to protect – employees, building, family, intellect and more – why not protect it with current technology?

With the advent of increasing crime and criminal desperation, there has been an acceleration of businesses installing new access control systems. These access control systems will keep the bad guys out and keep track of the time and dates your staff is allowed in.

Once upon a time, only major corporations could afford these fantastic systems that allowed certain staff access from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and upper management access 24/7.

The more integrated solutions go so far as to incorporate payroll as well. All that is needed is a key fob or ID card that identify the employee, and, once waved close to a reader by the door, allow

ingress to your office.

The card is acknowledged by the software on the access control computer, and the door is unlocked, allowing access. As an added plus, decision-makers can quarantine staff away from protected areas, such as the IT room or where your files and intellect are stored. Only the owner or IT staff has access to those areas, protecting your investments, databases and proprietary information.

The Most Sought-After Job Applicants

By Dominique Rodgers, Monster Contributing Writer When you’ve been searching for a job for a while with no luck, it can feel like other job applicants must have all the luck, while you keep striking out. Of course, that’s probably not true, but there are a few proven techniques that help candidates get hiring managers and recruiters’ attention.

So, who are the most sought-after job applicants and what can you do to be more like them? Read on for a few tips.

Consider the size of the company.

In their 2014 PayScale Compensation Best Practices Report, PayScale looked at which positions are hardest to fill for companies of various sizes. According to their survey of 5,000 executives and HR professionals, companies of all sizes have a hard time filling positions in sales, IT and engineering.

Larger companies have the most difficult time finding candidates for these roles, meaning they’ll be even more eager to snap you up.

For example, 16 percent of small companies said IT was a hard role to fill. This was the second-hardest position for a small company. But, a whopping 31 percent of respon-

dents from large companies put IT at the top of their “hard-to-fill positions” list. If you have sought-after skills, try applying for positions at companies of different sizes. Your particular skill set may be more in demand at larger or smaller companies.

Work on your technical skills.

Finding IT pros is difficult partly because of basic supply and demand principles, says Evan Pollock, senior recruiter at Objective Paradigm, a Chicago-based tech recruiting firm. “There is a high demand for software engineers with an emphasis on front end web development. The market is very hot for computer science engineers with proficiency in JavaScript, CSS3, and HTML5.

However, the demand is far greater than the supply and there just aren’t enough computer science engineers in the US to satisfy the demand.” If you have these skill sets and they aren’t on your resume, add them. If you know a little about one program or technical language, learn more.

“We have found a surprising interest in growth hacking and data scientists,” says Stephen Robert Morse, head of marketing for Skillbridge, an online marketplace where businesses can hire independent talent on a shortterm basis. He’s seeing that newer companies focus on data roles up

front to stay current.

Emphasize these hard-to-find qualities.

“We consistently hear from our employers that quality telecommuting job candidates are hard to find,” says Kristin Thomas, director of employer services at FlexJobs, a service that connects recruiters with willing telecommuters. Telecommuting is growing rapidly, but many people don’t have the unique skill set required for this flexible work schedule.

Telecommuting requires “an interesting mix of skills and work ethic, in addition to the regular requirements of the job. Telecommuters need to have a firm grasp on self-management, written and verbal communication, and even be able to troubleshoot their own technical issues at home.”

If you’re applying for the increasingly available telecommuting market, and even office jobs, it could be worthwhile to highlight these qualities on your resume.

Include details about how you can effectively push a project through from start to finish without prodding from a manager. Most employers would love a steady stream of applicants with these sought-after qualities, whether the position requires them to telecommute or not.

LEGAL ASSISTANT

OPEN HOUSES

If you’re out of work, finding work can seem like an uphill battle.

“The hardest candidates to find are the BEST ones. Those who are at the top of their game, killing it for their current employer,” says Kent Burns, recruiter with Sanford Rose Associates, a network of independently-owned executive search firms.

If you’re out of work, your resume is the best way to show that you can “kill it” for your next employer. Make sure that you don’t just list your responsibilities, but that you showcase your value and the big wins you achieved at your last job.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Change is inevitable this year.

It’s time to take control of your journey to ensure that you reach your destination. Emotional ups and downs will be detrimental and time-consuming if you aren’t well-organized.

Be ready to solve a myriad of problems by making your motives clear.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be feeling uneasy and restless. Getting involved in something creative or artistic will help free up your imagination and provide a new spark to your routine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The best investment you can make is in you. You will

have a very rewarding experience if you take advantage of a financial opportunity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t be hard on yourself or let negativity get you down. Find a class or seminar that will help boost your mood and give you greater confidence and a positive attitude.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Guessing or speculating will not lead to a well-rounded view of your situation. Rather than overreact or make assumptions, find out what is really happening before making a decision.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There are many people who share your concerns, but

staying home will prevent you from meeting them. Participate in social events that are geared toward making new friends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A personal decision and general uncertainty will cause turmoil. Don’t hesitate to ask for help. An issue that appears insurmountable can often be solved with some outside assistance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You can gain support if you present your ideas creatively. Don’t be deterred by someone who doesn’t want to participate. Focus on people offering contributions and encouragement.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) --

Hard work will pay off. Surround yourself with loved ones and celebrate your accomplishments. You will feel rejuvenated if you relax, unwind and enjoy the comforts of home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Think before you speak or take action. Present your opinions in a tactful manner. If you are too aggressive or assertive, someone you care about will take offense.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- With your talent and imagination, a small business of your own may be a viable option. Be bold.

Find someone with the experience and expertise to advise you, and take the plunge.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Consider attending charity or fund-raising events as a way to make new connections. Others will get to know how charismatic you are once you are out mingling and socializing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Accept that others may have different ways of dealing with certain issues. Let your peers have their say and do their own thing. If you show tolerance, you’ll get the same in return.

Questions? Email askmrkia@gmail.com

Bobbing for info about bob houses I go to New England to ski almost every winter.

I always enjoy looking at the ice fishing sheds on lakes. These sheds are known by many names, but this year I heard a new one – it was the name of a man, but I forget who. Is this something you can answer? – M.L.F., Elkton, Md. Well, I can give it a try. These ice shanties are known by many names, including an ice shack, ice house, fishing shanty, fish house, fish coop and ice hut, just to name a few. The structures can be as inexpensive as two-by-fours and some plastic, or, the ice cabins can be two-story dwellings complete with heat, beds, electricity and cooking facilities. Now, to answer your question: I have a strong inkling that you heard the term “Bob house.” There are various spellings, including Bobhouse and Bob-house.

Bob houses are portable structures on wheels. No one knows why they got that name, though one theory is that bobsleds were used to bring the structures onto the lakes or ponds.

Our tour bus in the English countryside stopped so we would have a chance to walk around the quaint village. A woman in her front yard asked a passerby if she wanted to stop in for some “ninny broth.” She did, and the two entered the house, leaving me perplexed. I have never heard of ninny broth. Neither had our tour guide; she suggested I heard it incorrectly. I’m sure I did not. Do you know the term? – C.B.,

Miami “Ninny broth” is a very old slang term for “coffee.”

My grandmother used to talk about people who were born with a wooden spoon in their mouth. I would laugh to myself that she got the phrase confused. I was watching a British series on PBS, and the phrase was used. Can you explain? – S.E.E., Columbus, Ohio Being born with a silver spoon in your mouth is preferable, but for those of us in the working class, we deal with wooden spoons.

There is also a wooden spoon wife, which is the opposite of a trophy wife.

This comes from the British tradition of awarding a wooden spoon to a person who finishes last in a competition.

What were the circumstances that caused a naval officer to spend every day aboard a ship and never be allowed to see or go ashore? He was known as “The Man Without a Country.” –

R.J.B., Prospect Park, Pa. “The Man Without a Country” is a short story by Edward Everett Hale. It was first published in 1863 in the Atlantic Monthly.

The story is of American Army Lt. Philip Nolan, who develops a friendship

Vin Diesel

When and where was actor Vin Diesel born? – O.P., Goodyear, Ariz.

The talented actor, director, screenwriter and producer was born July 18, 1967, in New York City. His given name is Mark Sinclair Vincent; he took the name Vin Diesel while a bouncer in New York.

HAL says he “became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Ill., on the 12th of January, 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song.”

The shortest nine-inning Major League Baseball game was 51 minutes. What was the shortest doubleheader? What are the details of the shortest game? – R.E.C., Elmira, N.Y. On Sept. 28, 1919, the New York Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-1, in 51 minutes.

On Sept. 26, 1926, the New York Yankees dropped a pair of games to the St. Louis Browns, 6-1 and 6-2. It took two hours and seven minutes to play both games. Game No. 1 lasted 1 hour 12 minutes, while game No. 2 lasted 55 minutes.

DID YOU KNOW? Rodney Dangerfield’s trademark white shirt and red tie are on permanent display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. What is the origin of the phrase “dead as a doornail”? – N.C.K., Manhattan Beach,

Calif. with Aaron Burr. When Burr is tried for treason, Nolan is tried as an accomplice.

During his testimony, Nolan renounces his nation. He says, “I wish I may never hear of the United States again!” The judge grants his wish and orders that Nolan spend the rest of his life aboard warships with no right to ever set foot on U.S. soil and to never hear news of the U.S. again.

“The Man Without a Country” has been adapted for film several times, as well as a made-for-TV movie in 1973, starring Cliff Robertson and Beau Bridges. An opera of the story was performed at the Metropolitan Opera in 1937, and the story was created for disc and a three-act radio play.

At one time, nails were handmade and expensive. When an old structure was torn down, the nails were salvaged for future use.

However, when buildings were constructed, doorway nails were bent over to prevent them from working their way loose due to repeatedly opening and closing the door.

When salvaging the nails, the doornails were useless – or dead – which brings about the phrase “dead as a doornail.”

It’s been in use since the 14th century.

I came across a menu from a modern-day revival of a medieval banquet. One of the items was “endored chicken.” What is “endored”? –

D.B., Ada, Minn.

Brynn Thayer was born Oct. 4, 1949, and has appeared in more than a dozen TV series. Like you mentioned, she is most well-known for her role as Leanne MacIntyre in “Matlock.” She is the co-founder of ZazAngles, a charitable organization that generates funds for research of ALS disease. She’s been married three times.

In culinary terms, it means to glaze, creating a finish of tinted gold or other color.

One old translated recipe I came across gave this as one of the final steps in preparing chicken: “Have ready a thin batter made of the egg yolks and flour and seasoned with ginger, pepper, saffron and salt. With skin removed, paint the batter over the bird several times while cooking. With this recipe, the chicken will be colored yellow-orange from the saffron glaze.”

In the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey,” the computer HAL 9000 gives Dave Bowman some specifics about his origin. Where, according to HAL, was he created? – W.L., Chester, Pa.

• Send your questions to Mr. KnowIt-All at askmrkia@gmail.com or c/o Universal Uclick, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.

What happened to Brynn Thayer, the actress who played Matlock’s daughter? – F.L., Potts-

ville, Pa.

Smoked salmon salad for Mom

By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press How many breakfasts in bed does it take for a mom to get sick of breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day? Rather than test the theory, I decided to go in a different direction this year. I wanted to create a light, yet still filling dish that would work well no matter what time of day it was served – brunch, lunch or dinner. And I wanted it to play nicely with whatever else was served.

The solution was deliciously easy – a salad of shaved fresh fennel and red onion tossed with a light dressing spiked with dill, whole-grain mustard and just a pinch of sugar. And heaped on top? Roasted new potatoes and a mound of thinly sliced smoked salmon dressed with lemon juice, olive oil and black pepper.

Mom doesn’t like salmon? No worries. Substitute cooked and chilled shrimp.

Or go crazy and serve a bit of each.

fennel, trimmed 1/2 small red onion 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard 1/2 teaspoon sugar 8 ounces cold-smoked salmon 1 tablespoon lemon juice Chopped fresh dill

Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4

Heat the oven to 425 F. In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet, then roast until tender and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the roasted potatoes to a plate and refrigerate just until no longer hot, about 10 minutes.

While the potatoes cook and cool, use a mandoline or food processor to shave the fennel as thinly as possible. Do the same with the onion. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the remaining olive oil, the mustard, sugar and a hefty pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the shaved fennel and onion, then toss until well coated. Divide the mixture between 4 serving plates. Top with the cooled potatoes.

Divide the salmon into thin slices. In a medium bowl, drizzle the salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive and the lemon juice.

Gently toss to coat, then season with pepper. Mound a quarter of the salmon over each salad, then sprinkle with fresh dill.

Crystal Lake residents Taylor Kassel, 16, (left) and her mother, Bonnie, are hoping to raise funding for Lupus research.

Crystal Lake event reflects purple passion

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Bonnie and Taylor Kassel want you to see purple and think lupus.

The Crystal Lake mother and daughter are behind a second annual campaign to raise both awareness and funding for the Lupus Foundation of America as part of this month’s Lupus Awareness Month.

On May 10 – Lupus Awareness Day – businesses in downtown Crystal Lake, where purple is everywhere, will donate a portion of their sales, as well as raffle items, including gift baskets with items such as sports tickets, gift cards, quilts, art, gardening supplies and a football signed by Mike Ditka and Walter Payton.

Those dressed in purple will receive discounts.

“The community just really embraced us last year,” said Bonnie Kassel, who organized the effort in the hopes people will learn more about the chronic, autoimmune disease her now-16-year-old daughter was diagnosed with in 2011.

For every purple flower sold during a Mother’s Daythemed Spring Flower Sale from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 10 in downtown Crystal Lake, a donation will be made to the Lupus Foundation. The disease basically attacks the skin, joints and organs, and there is no known cure.

A sophomore at Crystal Lake South High School, Taylor Kassel has managed the disease by being careful with what she exposes herself to, as far as chemicals and such, and what she eats, sticking to pure and organic food.

Because of her efforts to

raise money and awareness, Bonnie Kassel has made friends such as Regina Villalobos of Huntley, who helped her decorate the trees purple. Villalobos has lupus and was experiencing pleurisy, a sort of chest pain, that day, Bonnie Kassel said.

“I said, ‘You don’t have to,’” Bonnie Kassel said.

“She said, ‘Bonnie, it’s empowering to me.’”

An artist, Villalobos will sell jewelry May 10 and donate a portion of sales to the foundation. Taylor’s sister, Baylee, and two of her best friends, Emily Jones and Lauren Jensen, will be selling homemade barrettes and bracelets.

Along with Benedict’s, where Bonnie Kassel works, other businesses helping the cause with donations of 10 percent of their proceeds that day include La Bellissima, Out of the Box, Clothes Gallery, Marvin’s Toys, Evolve, Shay for You and Your Home, Yours and Meyn Home Furnishings, Kitchen Outfitters, Wear Did You Get That and The Olive Tap. Pure Massage Therapy will offer chair massages that day, donating tips to the foundation, while 15 percent of the proceeds from Crystal Lake Natural Health’s $39 massages will be donated.

And Enlightened Balance will be doing face-painting.

Sweet Pea cupcakes will have purple cupcakes, and Clip Joynt and International Hairway will be doing purple hair extensions.

“I want other people to not feel helpless,” Bonnie Kassel said of the efforts.

To donate or for information, call Kassel at 815-3416190 or email bonniekassel@ comcast.net.

World’s smallest dogs can be a big handful The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Living little carries some big risks.

The smallest dogs in the world weigh less than 7 pounds, and can easily slip through cracks in a fence, get stepped on or even hugged a little too hard.

A few other “little” problems are inherent in the popular “toy” pooches that people love to tote in purses, push in strollers or carry along on errands. They can be expensive if purebred, can’t keep pace with big dogs on long walks, shouldn’t roughhouse with kids and often are targeted by thieves.

But pet owners say the small setbacks don’t overshadow the diminutive dogs’ outsized personalities.

“There is vulnerability about small dogs; you have to protect them,” said Debra Beilstein, secretary of the Yorkshire Terrier Club of Los Angeles. Her Yorkie, 13-year-old Mica, weighs 3.8 pounds.

She says their stature doesn’t keep them down.

“Yorkies don’t think of themselves as small,” Beilstein said. “They have big personalities, lots of attitude.”

Many toy dogs have genetic problems with teeth and joints, and they won’t save you money on food costs because they tend to live longer than larger dogs, experts say.

The Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Yorkshire terrier and Maltese are American Kennel Club-designated toy dogs that weigh under 7 pounds.

No one knows exactly how many of these dogs are living in the United States or around the world, but the Yorkshire terrier is the most popular toy breed in the country, ranking No. 6 on this year’s list of all Kennel Club-registered breeds.

Small dogs such as Yorkies still require big-time care, American Kennel Club spokeswoman Jessica Rice D’Amato said.

“Just because they are small doesn’t mean they need less exercise or mental stimulation than other breeds,” she said.

‘These guys can actually cook’ Photo courtesy of Larenzo Tassone

John Carruthers, a McHenry native, (left) serves as vice president of ManBQue, with Jesse Valenciana (right) as president. The two co-wrote “ManBQue: Beer, Rock N’ Roll: 120 Essential Recipes for the Modern Man.” ManBQue started as a personal interest and developed into a passion for Carruthers, who has gained national recognition.

M

eat and beer and rock ’n’ roll.

To John Carruthers, this is a mantra, a code, a way of life. With an affinity for tasty and often unusual grilled creations, craft beer – none of that watered-down hop slosh – and at the very least hilarious conversation, Carruthers found himself in John Carruthers 2009 attending a night out amongst men, crowded around a grill, with low expectations.

“I was expecting warm beer, burnt burgers and meat,” Carruthers said.

“Then I got there and was like, ‘Wow, these guys can actually cook.’”

That night, Carruthers, a McHenry native, attended his first ManBQue “MEATing.” The rest is history.

ManBQue is a men’s grilling and lifestyle organization appealing to the self-proclaimed grillmasters, beer connoisseurs and music enthusiasts.

A true believer, Carruthers is held in high standing as vice president of the organization, as well as managing editor of the group’s website, and recently he has been tasked with running the catering division.

With chapters from Seattle to Detroit to Leipzig, Germany, what started as a group of guys from Chicago armed with meat, beer and some glowing embers, quickly is turning into an international phenomena.

Early on, Carruthers caught the grilling bug, though not in the capacity that would have led him to believe there was a future in it. Throughout high school, Carruthers worked at Nestlerest Park in Lake Zurich, grilling corn and other food fare for events held there.

After college, Carruthers found himself writing for a newspaper in Hawaii and dining on what wouldn’t exactly be described as top-notch

cuisine.

“I was in my apartment nuking a hot pocket, a necessary food group for post-college bachelors, and I took a bite and found a bone in it,” said Carruthers, still disgusted. “After that ,I swore when I got back to Chicago, I would teach myself to cook.”

A man of his word, Carruthers returned to Illinois and took cooking classes in Chicago, settling in Lincoln Square, now home to him and his wife, Emily.

A writer by trade and by day, Carruthers spends his evenings and weekends doing all things ManBQue. What started as a personal interest has developed into a passion for Carruthers that has taken him to a recognized name, repeated local guest spots on “Windy City Live” and “Chicago’s Best TV,” as well as national recognition as guest on the “Today” show.

ManBQue has grown in size and appearances since its initial gathering in 2006 and expanded from monthly “MEATings” to include co-ed functions and most recently, the launch

of its first cookbook on April 22 – “ManBQue: Meat. Beer. Rock & Roll: 120 Essential Recipes for the Modern Man” (Running Press).

Carruthers co-wrote the book with founder and president of ManBQue Jesse Valenciana, who is aptly named “The Godfather.”

S

hoes off, music rocking, a sip of water and they’re ready.

“Just start hopping,” Wendy Fryer instructed as her class of five moms surrounded her on trampolines at MegaTrampoline in Crystal Lake.

With that, AIRobics began. The new class basically brings aerobics to the trampoline as an alternative to typical exercise routines. Half of the hourlong class is devoted to cardio, while the other half focuses on strength training.

It’s believed to be one of the only classes of its kind in the area and has attracted parents whose children frequent MegaTrampoline.

Fun, yes. A workout, definitely.

“It’s a lot harder than it looks,” said Tarsha Franch, a mother of two from Lake in the Hills, after finishing up the routine with a swig of water.

“You see your kids playing and they’re full of youth and energy, and they make it look easy. But when you’re doing it for an hour, oh my.”

Jumping on a trampoline actually burns on average 1,000 calories an hour, said Suzy Wille, the party coordinator for MegaTrampoline.

“See if you can jump for an hour, though,” she added. “It’s really hard.”

MegaTrampoline officials sought Fryer, a personal trainer, through her Crystal Lake-based business Fitness Won (www.fitness-won.com), to teach AIRobics after hearing about similar classes in California, Wille said.

The goal was both to open the business Classes up to more typically are people in the from 10 a.m. to community 11 a.m. Mondays, and offer Wednesdays another way and Fridays at to exercise, MegaTrampoline, she said.

5593 NorthClasses west Highway, typically Crystal Lake. A are from 10 single class costs to 11 a.m. $10. A 10-class Mondays, punchcard is Wednesdays available for $70. and FriTo sign up or days at the Crystal Lake for information, email wendy@ business. fitnesswon.com Classes cost or visit www. $10 each or $70 for fitness-won. a 10-class com or www. punchard. megatrampoline.

Aside from com. the Friday morning class, which takes place during a KiddyTime at MegaTrampoline, the classes take place when the business is closed to the public.

It’s a safe, sort of private experience, some prefer to the gym, Wille said.

Take a class

And the Friday class gives parents of young children a way to squeeze in a workout while their children have fun.

Like most participants, Franch heard about the class when bringing her children to MegaTrampoline.

“I wanted to start exercising outside of the house and not go to the gym,” she said.

“I’m not into the gym scene.”

Others tried it simply because it sounded fun.

The class gave Sherri Nachtsheim of Fox River Grove and her daughter Courtney something to do together while Courtney, having recently finished graduate school, looks for a job.

Sherri regularly takes yoga and was looking for a bit more cardio, and Courtney is a former cheerleader and gymnast, a background that became obvious as she leaped into the air.

“Give me some big jumping jacks,” Fryer called out. “Hop it out. ... Let’s take the heels to the front. And now to the side. ... Give me big jumping jacks.”

Having never been involved with AIRobics before, Fryer basically came up with her own routine based on others she’s done on the floor.

“I figured it out, and we’ve been going ever since,” said Fryer, who hosted her first class in February. “My goal for the first half is just keep moving.”

Those who participate can go at their own pace, some jumping higher than others, she said. The class has drawn women of all ages, from school age to seniors.

Though it’s less of an impact than aerobics on a typical floor, it’s still an impact, so Fryer advises all to check with their doctor if they are concerned about injury.

“The nice part about it is it’s fun,” she said. “It’s the workout that doesn’t feel like a workout.”

What was the hardest part?

“We had to leave some really cool recipes out. You want to cover everything, but you can’t. We’ll just save it for the next book,” Carruthers said.

ManBQue continues to be a force in the men’s grilling world, and Carruthers said they hope to continue to grow their following.

“When it comes down to it, it’s not really about the food,” he said.

“You meet all these people you never would have met from different walks, and you realize you’re not that different. It’s a united nations of grilling.”

The book covers grill prep, butchering, beer pairings and grilling tools and includes a plethora of mouthwatering hearty fare from beer cheese to burgers to marinades and a whole section on wings.

For the adventurous, there are pork tongue and whole hog tacos, just to name a few of the many featured exotic recipes that made their way to the menu.

Carruthers and Valenciana originally were approached by the agent for award-winning

chef Rick Bayless. The agent asked whether they’d be interested in writing a cookbook.

Carruthers and Valenciana hit the ground running in mid-2012 and never looked back.

Although Carruthers found some of the process trying, he deemed it an incredible experience. He enjoyed it so much, they’re already working on a second edition.

“Food writing is precious.

There’s a lot of negativity in it,” Carruthers said. “We want to explain how and why you do what you do to prepare certain foods in order to get the best results.”

The May Birthstone: Emerald

By Karly Bulinski

The emerald has been revered as one of the most popular and valued gemstones throughout history. With its deep green color, caused by traces of chromium, many people associate it with a lush green garden in full bloom. One defining characteristic of the emerald is their many natural inclusions. The French call these inclusions“jardin”or garden because of their resemblance to foliage. The Egyptians used to engrave the stones with the symbol for foliage to represent eternal youth as well as bury them with their dead. The ancient Romans associated this precious gem with fertility and rebirth, and dedicated it to Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.

Emeralds are very difficult to cut because they are quite brittle and have inclusions that cause the stone to easily crack or chip. Emeralds grow very slowly within metamorphic rocks and are usually restricted in size by the rock, making large emeralds very costly and rare. The most prized emerald specimens come from a mine in Colombia but they also are found in Brazil, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Madagascar, Nigeria and Russia.

An emerald is believed to promote mental growth, perceptiveness and be effective against headaches. It symbolizes hope, development and maturity. It is supposed to bring luck and success as well as power. They were once considered an antidote to poison in India. The emerald is the traditional gift for the 55th wedding anniversary but is also used as a 20th and 35th wedding anniversary stone.

Jeanne Phillips

Man has spot in heart for encyclopedias Dear Abby: My husband tends to be a major clutterbug. We had an argument last night about him storing a set of encyclopedias. My argument is that we have never used them and never will, since they are “dinosaurs” in today’s modern world. Any information can be looked up digitally.

He was given these encyclopedias by his grandparents, so he feels they have a “deeper meaning.” Although he has never once used them, he says they make the bookshelf look nicer.

We recently got rid of the bookshelf, and now he wants to store them in our already cluttered attic.

His plan is to pass them on to our child or grandchildren. I don’t think they would want to inherit them, as they take up so much space and there are more efficient ways to find information. Please help. – Frustrated Wife

in Connecticut

Dear Wife: The encyclopedias DO have a deeper meaning for your husband that almost surely has less to do with “looking nice on a bookshelf” than their sentimental value. They symbolize the love his grandparents had for him, as well as the idea that he can pass an heirloom down to the next generations.

Please relent about boxing them up and making room for them in the attic. At some point, your husband probably will arrive at the same conclusion that you have – after they have been refused by the progeny for whom he has been saving them. And try to hang onto your sense of humor, because this isn’t worth arguing over.

Dear Abby: What should someone do when gifts received via mail or UPS have been damaged in transit? We have received some ceramic objects

for Christmas in the past two years.

Both were packed and sent by the givers.

My wife would rather remain silent about the damage to avoid the appearance that a replacement is expected. I contend that the damage should be mentioned and that no replacement is necessary when writing the thank-you note, or even that certain gifts should be avoided in the future. Otherwise, the sender has no way of knowing that a better packaging job is necessary. Also, there may be some (insurance) recourse with the carrier. – “Busted” in Pennsylvania Dear “Busted”: I agree with you to a point. The giver should be thanked, and the fact that the gift arrived damaged should be mentioned. It’s smart to insure packages before sending, so if the contents are damaged, there will be compensation. But even if they

weren’t insured, the sender should be informed that the gift arrived broken, so the next time precautions can be taken before the item is shipped.

However, I do not agree with stating that in the future such gifts should be avoided because it would imply the gift was unwelcome or inappropriate.

Insincerity can be one more facet of addiction “Daryl” was in trouble once again. The time between disasters in his life had gotten increasingly shorter.

At first it was relatively small things: school suspensions, station adjustments, curfew issues, but as time went on, events began to take a more ominous tone. “Daryl” wasn’t a bad kid his Mom would say, almost like a mantra, and he wasn’t a bad kid, but that thought missed the real issue, which was “Daryl’s” drug and alcohol problem.

By this time, “Daryl” had been sent to treatment as a condition of probation and managed to “drop dirty” enough times that he had been sanctioned. “Daryl’s” attitude was that he would try for short periods of time

Read all about it ...

to “be good,” but the whole addiction thing, he thought, was not for him. It was suggested that he attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings, which he did as infrequently as he could get away with and attend counseling, which he did with about as much excitement as someone on the way to get a root canal. Subsequently, his Mom saw little change, his probation officer saw red and his counselor was making preparations for a “therapeutic discharge.”

It was about this time that “Daryl” decided to get drunk, steal a car and buy cocaine, since, he thought, he was going to jail for violating his probation anyway. “Daryl,” of course, got caught. He was given a choice between jail

time and treatment, and naturally, jumped at treatment, thinking it the easy way out.

His indifference and lack of involvement in the treatment process led to a referral for longer-term treatment. In his highly structured, long-term program, he did fairly well but relapsed on his first trip home and ended up back in treatment for several months.

Upon release, he moved back home despite his Mom’s misgivings and lasted about two weeks, no meetings and hanging with old cronies before starting to use again. Two months later, when he had no car, and was couch surfing and scrounging meals, he got caught shoplifting and landed back in jail. He was put on an intensive drug probation

program and required to get treatment once again.

“Daryl’s” Mom had seen enough and thought pretty much everything he did was a scam or a lie. She felt that if he hadn’t gotten caught, he wouldn’t be in treatment and that he was completely insincere. She was correct.

The only difference between her view and that of a treatment person was that “Daryl’s” Mom took it personally and was angry at him.

She didn’t yet understand that the scamming, scheming and lying was his addictive disease, not “Daryl.” That is not to excuse his behavior but to understand that those were symptoms and to expect sincerity from him at this stage of his illness would be like

expecting a stage four cancer patient to run the marathon.

He needed help to connect the substance use to the consequences, which for whatever reason had yet to happen.

He needed those around him to continue to hold his feet to the fire, hold him accountable until the lights went on. He needed this particular kind of help to understand that his troubles were of his own making. “Daryl” didn’t suffer from insincerity; rather his insincere behavior was an outcome of his fear of facing the truth.

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“The Amazing Spider-Man 2” STARRING: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx

PLOT: Peter Parker runs the gantlet as the mysterious company Oscorp sends up a slew of supervillains against him, affecting his life.

RATED: Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action/violence TIME: 2 hours, 22 minutes VERDICT: Deep into “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” my 11-year-old companion was confused about a certain plot point– justifiably, I’d say – and demanded an immediate and thorough explanation. “Shh, not now.

Later!” I hissed. Because, though I didn’t admit it, I really didn’t want to miss an Andrew Garfield-Emma Stone kiss. Let’s just say this unequivocally: Whether or not my young Spidey fan would agree, the best thing about the “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” the second installment of director Marc Webb’s series reboot, is that infectious chemistry between Garfield and Stone. This isn’t just because the two happen to be real-life partners – though it can’t hurt. Garfield is a sensitive actor who brings a quirky blend of intelligence and goofiness to Peter Parker.

As for Stone, she’s just so darned charming. Another winning presence is that of Sally Field, touching as the now-widowed Aunt May. There are not one, not two, but three villains (at least!) here, and all sorts of backstories – something for everyone, which means too much. The most important backstory involves Peter’s parents, and what really happened to them once they abandoned him.

There are big goings-on at Oscorp, headed by Norman Osborn. With Norman on his deathbed, son Harry (Dane DeHaan), Peter’s old buddy, returns from boarding school. Then there’s the unappreciated Oscorp employee Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx).

When he falls into a vat of mutant electric eels, he morphs into Electro, a glowing monster who can manipulate electricity. In this age of multi-tasking, Peter/Spidey sure has his work cut out for him – taking care of New York, of Gwen, and of the endearingly curious Aunt May. Where will it all end? Which of the villains will re-emerge to challenge Spidey? Shh, not now. Later! We’re thinking about that kiss. – The

LOCAL SHOWTIMES

“Brick Mansions” STARRING: Paul Walker, David Belle PLOT: An undercover Detroit cop navigates a dangerous neighborhood that’s surrounded by a containment wall with the help of an ex-con in order to bring down a crime lord and his plot to devastate the entire city.

RATED: PG-13 for gunplay, violence and action throughout, language, sexual menace and drug material TIME: 1 hour, 30 minutes

VERDICT: Adrenaline runs high in the entertaining, action-heavy remake of the 2004 French film “District B13.”

Starring the late Paul Walker in one of his last roles, “Brick Mansions” packs gunfights, car chases, acrobatic stunts and humor into one stylized package. In the urban ghetto of Detroit, which has been surrounded by a containment wall, narcotics officer Damien (Walker) goes undercover and teams with ex-con Lino (David Belle) to infiltrate a crew of criminals and defuse a confiscated bomb. Originally set for a February release, the film comes five months after Walker’s death in a car accident. His love for action roles comes through clearly in this movie.

“Brick Mansions” was directed by newbie Camille Delamarre and written by Luc Besson, who also wrote “District B13.” Like the original, “Mansions” is set in the near future, although there’s really nothing in the film that shows us we’re a few years ahead other than the “2018” that is flashed on the screen. The many fight sequences were choreographed using a technique called Parkour. Parkour incorporates vaulting, flipping, swinging, rolling, etc., to move through various obstacles in a scene. At the heart of the film is the social commentary focusing on a community divided. This is not a film that will shift anyone’s moral compass. But it’s worth it to see Walker in the last film he was able to complete.– The Associated Press

“The Other Woman” STARRING: Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton

PLOT: After discovering her boyfriend is married, Carly soon meets the wife he’s been cheating on. And when yet another affair is discovered, all three women team up to plot mutual revenge.

language

TIME: 1 hour, 49 minutes VERDICT: On its surface, “The Other Woman” is a very welcome thing: A movie starring talented, funny women with their own punch lines and everything. In the movies, this is bizarrely rare. But what do the stars in “The Other Woman” – Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann, along with a side of model-turned-actress Kate Upton – do the whole movie? Gab about a guy. “The Other Woman” is a slick

hell-hath-no-fury comedy of female revenge, peppered with cheap and unimaginative toilet humor, but it’s elevated somewhat by the fine comic duo of Diaz and Mann. Its simple concept – the banding together of a wife (Mann) and two of her husband’s unwitting mistresses – is dispiritingly sitcom-y, and its womanly uprising is a farce of female empowerment predicated on the characters’ shallow lives revolving around a man. But it’s also light and snappy, thanks largely to

Any time music kicks in, terrible filmmaking results, usually in montage form. The wealthy interiors – Manhattan, Fairfield County, the Hamptons – increase the artificiality of the film, which climaxes crudely. The real question is: Why, exactly, would these three women think twice about this guy?

They’re all so out of his league. –
