Tryon nixes MCCD tax rate bill Measure would have allowed district to increase maximum rate by voter referendum

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com A bill before state lawmakers that would allow the McHenry County Conservation District to raise its maximum tax rate by voter refer-

endum is most likely dead.

The bill, co-sponsored by local Republican Sens. Pam Althoff and Karen McConnaughay, cleared the Senate last month on a 46-0 vote.

But the chief sponsor in the House, local Rep. Mike Try-

on, R-Crystal Lake, said he does not intend to call it for a vote in the House.

Tryon said Wednesday that he could not in good conscience shepherd a bill through the General Assembly that would result in a

property tax increase. If it passes, he said, other governments that have reached their statutory cap like the conservation district has, could follow suit and ask lawmakers for their own levy increases.

“While there are a lot of people who feel government by referendum is a good thing, government has to work within the statutory means it has,” Tryon said.

“People just can’t pay any more in property taxes.”

Senate Bill 3342 raises the conservation district’s maximum tax rate from 10 cents to 15 cents per $100 in assessed value. Althoff amended it to require the district to go to

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board authorized the sheriff’s office to convert part of its fleet to run on liquid propane, over objections that the decision should be up to the new sheriff taking office at year’s end.

The vote came after a confusing hourlong debate in which board members appeared poised to kill the idea.

But in the end, board members voted, 15-7, to approve the $78,500, three-year pilot program. Undersheriff Andrew Zinke, who attended the meeting, told board members the office over the past two years has been researching alternative fuel sources that mean reduced emissions and increased cost effectiveness.

But objecting County Board members said that the decision should be left to the new sheriff. Keith Nygren is retiring, and Zinke lost his GOP primary bid to replace him to retired Des Plaines police commander Bill Prim.

Prim, who could face a November challenge from independent candidate Jim Harrison, is on record opposing the idea.

“We’re asking a new administration to redirect resources to support a pilot program that [Prim] had nothing to do with,” board member Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, said.

The price tag includes the purchase of 20 conversion kits at $3,800 each, and another $2,500 to train the sheriff’s

How they voted The McHenry County Board voted Tuesday, 15-7, to allow the sheriff’s office to spend up to $78,500 to modify up to 20 squad cars to run on propane, as well as gasoline.

Madigan thinks he knows what’s best SPRINGFIELD – A few months ago, Mike Madigan startled folks across the state by calling for an amendment to the state constitution.

The longtime House speaker wanted to allow the state to tack on a 3 percent surcharge on folks earning more than $1 million.

The crafty politician let it be known that he wanted lawmakers to put the matter on the ballot so the people could decide whether it’s good public policy. But the measure didn’t gather sufficient support to be placed on the ballot.

So it died.

Proposed constitutional amendments can be placed on the ballot by legislative action or through a difficult process of collecting hundreds of thousands of signatures from across the state.

Madigan saw how difficult it was to pass the measure through the House that he has ruled for decades and let it drop despite his populist rhetoric about letting the voters decide.

VIEWS Scott Reeder Interesting.

But Madigan isn’t always so open to the will of the “people.”

A case in point is two constitutional amendments that are to be placed on the ballot through petition drives.

One would limit lawmakers to serving no more than eight years in the General Assembly. For some reason, Madigan who has served in the Legislature for 41 years, thinks this is a terrible idea.

Another would eliminate legislative gerrymandering. It would create an independent commission to draw the lines for legislative districts in a manner void of any political considerations.

Madigan, who has hung on to power by drawing maps that benefit his supporters in the Legislature, really

hates this idea too.

In fact, no sooner were the petitions filed in Springfield than an attorney filed a lawsuit in an attempt to thrown them off the ballot. While there are a variety of plaintiffs in the case, there is little doubt Madigan is behind it.

So, Mike, whatever happened to just letting the people decide? Madigan said the amendments were part of some diabolical plot to help Republicans win elected office.

“The difference between the two parties in Illinois is the Democratic Party of Illinois is a party of progress,” he said. “We want to move forward.

We want to help people. We want to help people get jobs and have opportunity. On the other side of the equation, the Republican party is a party of reaction.”

Except, Mike, while you say you want to help ordinary people, it appears you just don’t want them to decide what constitutional amendments they can vote on.

Why else would you try to keep

NEWSROOM 815-459-4122 Fax: 815-459-5640 tips@nwherald.com

these measures off the ballot?

The move is not only paternalistic, but it’s also hypocritical.

One day, Madigan says it should be left up to the “people” to say how a tiny minority of individuals should be taxed. And the next week, he says it shouldn’t be left to the “people” to decide how their state constitution is amended.

The message seems to be that Madigan knows what is best for Illinois – and don’t tell him otherwise.

But the will of those hundreds of thousands of Democrats, Republicans and independents who signed those petitions to place the measures on the ballot should be honored.

It’s time for the people, not the politicians, to decide what’s best for Illinois.

No gains for 12th-graders on national exam

By KIMBERLY HEFLING The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Handing out dismal grades, the Nation’s Report Card says America’s high school seniors lack critical math and reading skills for an increasingly competitive global economy.

Only about one-quarter are performing proficiently or better in math and just 4 in 10 in reading. And they’re not improving, the report says, reinforcing concerns that large numbers of today’s students are unprepared for either college or the workplace.

Scores on the 2013 exam

Your Home and Your Future

in both subjects were little changed from 2009, when the National Assessment of Educational Progress was last given to 12th-graders. The new results, released Wednesday, come from a representative sample of 92,000 public and private school students.

The report follows the just-released and seemingly more encouraging research that U.S. high school graduation rates in 2012 reached 80 percent, a record.

One possible explanation is that lower-performing students who in the past would have dropped out of school are now remaining in the sam-

pling of students who take the exam, said John Easton, acting commissioner of the Education Department’s National Center for Education Statistics.

Wednesday’s results are likely to embolden supporters of the Common Core standards that are being rolled out in 44 states and the District of Columbia. Designed to develop critical thinking skills, they spell out what math and English skills students should master at each grade.

There have been political storms in many states over the standards, which were pushed by governors who were concerned about the skill levels

Opponents say the standards have a federalist bent and are untested.

Bob Wise, president of the Alliance for Excellent Education and a former governor of West Virginia, said the new national results speak to a “desperate need for the aggressive implementation” of the standards.

In reading, the 38 percent share of students performing at or above the proficient level was lower than when the assessment was first given in 1992, when it was 40 percent.

Scores have remained similar since 1994.

ComEd plans to Quinn, Rauner address business leaders Gubernatorial candidates give separate speeches to attendees raise residential electricity prices

By KERRY LESTER

The Associated Press

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Commonwealth Edison’s residential customers will see a 38 percent spike in their electricity bills beginning next month, just six months after the company raised rates to help pay for the costs of upgrading the power grid, the company said Wednesday.

The increase came after the Illinois Power Authority, which buys electricity on behalf of the northern Illinois utility, set the company’s perkilowatt-hour costs at just over 7½ cents, up from 5½ cents in 2013, ComEd spokesman David O’Dowd told the Arlington Heights Daily Herald.

That means an average bill of $68 for about 655 kilowatts of electricity monthly will rise to about $83 beginning June 1, O’Dowd said.

Power costs represent about two-thirds of a customer’s bill. The other portion is for distribution costs, which also have been rising.

The average bill increased by $5.50 per month in January after ComEd received permission from the Illinois Commerce Commission to collect an additional $340 million for distribution, largely to offset

Last month, ComEd asked for another distribution increase starting in January 2015. If approved, that increase would cost the average customer about $3 more per month, the company has said.

ComEd and downstate electricity provider Ameren are undertaking a 10-year, $3.2 billion project to modernize and “storm-harden” Illinois’ power grid to make it more efficient and reliable. That includes replacing aging cables and poles, and switching customers to wireless “smart meters.”

ComEd serves about 4 million customers in northern Illinois.

8STATE BRIEFS Legal interpretation may erase pension glitch CHAMPAIGN – A troublesome piece of last year’s state pension reform law may not cut university retirees’ pensions after all, the State Universities Retirement System now says.

The retirement system and state universities complained last month that language in the law would inadvertently reduce many university employees’ pensions. The universities said the problem was adding to already large numbers of faculty and staff considering retiring early to avoid other pension cuts in the law.

But retirement system Executive Director William Mabe said Tuesday that the language in the law should not be interpreted as saying it would cost retirees a year of pension because that wasn’t the intent, according to The News-Gazette.

That is based on the Illinois Teachers Retirement System’s interpretation of the law.

The Teachers Retirement System represents 390,000 public school teachers and other employees.

Arguments set for June in ballot initiatives suit CHICAGO – Oral arguments are set for next month on a lawsuit attempting to block November ballot initiatives calling for term limits and a revamped political redistricting process.

The lawsuit filed last week argues state election officials shouldn’t spend public money on the proposals, but attorneys for the other side say it will cost more to adjudicate the case.

On Wednesday the Cook County judge set a June 18 court date.

Both sides and the judge say they want a quick resolution before November.

Two groups have collected signatures to get term limits and redistricting measures on the ballot. Election officials are reviewing signatures.

Inmate hepatitis drug not as costly as expected SPRINGFIELD – A new hepatitis drug likely won’t be as costly as initially reported, according to Illinois prison officials.

Authorities worried Sovaldi could cost the Illinois Department of Corrections tens of millions of dollars if it was used

to treat inmates who have the blood-borne infection. But the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises reported the drug would cost less than $6 million if it’s used.

Studies have shown the medication has a cure rate of 95 percent.

Illinois lawmakers introduced legislation banning the agency from using the drug that can cost as much as $61,000 for a single dose, but the measure has been stalled in Springfield with just weeks left in the legislation session.

Sales of organic products more than triple in Illinois SPRINGFIELD – Sales from Illinois organic farms more than tripled during a five-year period, according to statistics released by the federal government.

The Springfield State Journal-Register reported annual organic sales from the state’s farms reached $26.2 million in 2012, up from $8.3 million in 2007.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture figures show sales growth came despite the fact that the overall number of farms in the state fell during the same period.

The tabulated figures only include farms with at least $5,000 in annual sales that sell USDA-certified organic products.

Indiana, Illinois sign deal to build Illiana road SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Indiana and Illinois have signed an agreement to build the Illiana Expressway toll road, with Indiana paying $80 million to $110 million, Illinois agreeing to pay at least $250 million, and the rest of the $1.51 billion for the project coming from private investors.

The 33-page document outlines the responsibilities of each state and how the 47-mile highway will be run. The agreement specifically states the road between Interstate 65 near Lowell in northwest Indiana and I-55 near Wilmington, 60 miles south of Chicago, will be reserved for vehicles using electronic toll devices with no option for those wanting to pay cash.

The road will be a four-lane highway that could later be expanded to six lanes.

– Wire reports

SPRINGFIELD – After weeks of defending the management of his troubled anti-violence program, Gov. Pat Quinn went on the attack Wednesday, criticizing his Republican opponent in front of a group of business leaders for not yet releasing a specific state budget plan.

“His plan for our budget can be summed up in three words: ‘Mum’s the word,’ ” Quinn said of venture capitalist Bruce Rauner of Winnetka. “I don’t think that’s a good thing for our state.”

Rauner, meanwhile, told the hundreds of business officials at the Illinois Retail Merchants Association and Illinois Manufacturers’ Association’s annual meeting that they were being “taken for granted” by politicians who are “taking your mon-

Quinn and Rauner had speeches scheduled Wednesday with Illinois business leaders. ey and spending it on other things.”

The candidates’ separate afternoon speeches captured the root conflict of the nationally watched race for Illinois governor: vastly dif-

ferent visions about how to revive a lagging economy in one of the Midwest’s last Democratic strongholds.

But little has been said on that topic in recent weeks, as a scathing audit and several

subsequent investigations into the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative, a troubled anti-violence program set up shortly before Quinn’s 2010 election, have dogged the Chicago Democrat’s re-election campaign.

Quinn, a veteran campaigner who has built an image as an ethical reformer during his decades in politics, has gone on the defensive in media interviews that have been dominated by questions about the program.

Rauner, meanwhile, has used the scandal to compare Quinn to his predecessor, Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted of federal corruption charges.

Neither candidate mentioned the scandal Wednesday, choosing instead to portray themselves as the candidate best for Illinois business.

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

PAIN FREE!

What Do Patients Say? I had reached a point that I could no longer work out in the yard for more than 15 minutes. I couldn’t lift anything heavy, and some days I would have to use a cane because my knee hurt so much. I no longer need to do that. It is progressively getting better each week. Thank you Superior Health & Wellness for caring about my wellness!

– Jenn B. “I had suffered from severe knee pain for months. I went to four different specialists without any relief. When I called Superior Health & Wellness, the staff was understanding and knowledgeable, schedules were rearranged and treatment was provided immediately.

THANK YOU for helping me.”

– Joann F.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN? After careful study and several trials, the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This new treatment is a high-tech answer for all those who think that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only option to eliminate knee pain.

Consider these facts before surgery People who suffer from knee pain typically try supplements or pain medications before seeking help from a doctor. When all else fails and the pain is too much, some feel that surgery is the only option.

Before you put yourself through months of immobility, pain, rehab and hefty medical bills, consider something else.

8NATION BRIEFS House votes to hold ex-IRS official in contempt WASHINGTON – House Republicans voted Wednesday to hold a former Internal Revenue Service official in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify at a pair of committee hearings about her role in the agency’s tea party controversy.

The House also passed a nonbinding resolution calling on the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate the IRS. Lois Lerner directed the IRS division that processes applications for tax-exempt status. A year ago this week, Lerner publicly disclosed that agents had improperly singled out tea party applications for extra, sometimes burdensome scrutiny.

An inspector general’s report blamed poor management but found no evidence of a political conspiracy.

Many Republicans in Congress believe otherwise.

“Who’s been fired over the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS? No one that I’m aware of,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday.

“Who’s gone to jail for violating the law? When is the administration going to tell the American people the truth?”

House Democrats said Wednesday’s voting was little more than an election-year ploy to fire up the GOP base.

Obama pledges U.S. will help Arkansas rebuild VILONIA, Ark. – Surveying the remnants of nature’s destructive power in the country’s midsection, President Barack Obama pledged Wednesday to residents of tornado-ravaged Arkansas communities that their government will stand with them until they finish rebuilding.

Obama said he wanted to visit this small city about a half-hour north of Little Rock to make sure those grieving the loss of loved ones, their homes and treasured possessions know they will not be forgotten.

“I’m here to make sure that they know and that everybody who’s been affected knows that the federal government’s going to be right here until we get these communities rebuilt,” Obama said after walking through a subdivision in which just six of its 56 homes had any part still standing after storms tore across the state on April 27, killing 15 people.

“When something like this happens to a wonderful community like this one, it happens to all of us,” he said.

Obama first surveyed the wreckage by air, peering down from the windows of his helicopter onto a subdivision of short cul-de-sacs that was destroyed. The still-visible rubble was evidence of the random but surgical devastation a twister is capable of.

After meeting privately with grieving families, emergency workers and local officials, Obama set out on foot through a section of Vilonia, where residents felt a sense of deja vu.

Four people died after a tornado hit Vilonia in 2011.

House GOP pushes for Benghazi probe House Speaker Boehner vows examination would be ‘all about getting to the truth’

By BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – House Republicans on Wednesday moved toward an election-year special investigation of the deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Libya, brushing aside Democratic concerns over the panel’s scope and composition. The Obama administration, meanwhile, accused Republicans of “political motivation” after they issued a fundraising email linked to the Benghazi probe.

Ahead of a Thursday vote to rubber-stamp the establishment of the Benghazi select committee, House Speaker John Boehner vowed that the examination would be “all about getting to the truth” of the Obama administration’s response to the attack and not be a partisan, election-year circus. “This is a serious investigation,” he said, accusing the president and his team of withholding the true story of how militants killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans on Sept. 11, 2012.

Democrats pondered a

Speaker of the House John Boehner (right), R-Ohio, and GOP leaders Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (from left), R-Wash., House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Rep. Erik Paulsen, R-Minn., face reporters Wednesday following a Republican strategy meeting at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Boehner has created a special select committee investigating the attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, that killed an ambassador and three other Americans. boycott while waiting for Boehner to respond to demand from Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi that he scrap his plan for a committee of

seven Republicans and five Democrats. Democrats insisted membership should be evenly split, and urged time and cost constraints for a fo-

rum they likened to a “kangaroo court” designed only to drum up GOP support ahead of the November elections.

Under Boehner’s legisla-

tion, the select panel “can go on forever,” Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Calif., told reporters.

“The amount of money they can spend is undefined and can be unlimited.”

The committee’s establishment is assured in the GOP-run House. But Republicans, too, expressed an interest in securing Democratic participation. They’ve made Benghazi a central plank of their strategy to wrest control of the Senate from the Democrats later this year.

An inquiry that can be presented as bipartisan would have greater credibility with voters beyond the conservative base.

Republicans insist the White House, concerned primarily with protecting President Barack Obama in the final weeks of his re-election campaign, misled the nation by playing down intelligence suggesting Benghazi was a major, al-Qaida-linked terrorist attack. They accuse the administration of stonewalling congressional investigators ever since, pointing specifically to emails written

by U.S. officials in the days after the attack but only released last week.

Putin: Troops have pulled back from Ukraine border U.S., NATO claim no proof of pullback The ASSOCIATED PRESS DONETSK, Ukraine – Russian President Vladimir Putin softened his tone in the

confrontation with the West on Wednesday, declaring Russia has pulled its troops away from the Ukrainian border and calling for a delay of Sunday’s referendum on autonomy in Ukraine’s restive east.

But there were no immediate signs that either move was truly happening or that they

would cool the Ukrainian crisis. NATO and Washington said they saw no indication of a Russian pullback, and the pro-Russia insurgents behind the referendum have not agreed to go along with Putin’s proposal.

In a Moscow meeting with Swiss President Didier Bur-

khalter, Putin said Russian troops have been pulled back to their training grounds and locations for “regular exercises,” but he did not specify whether those locations were in areas near its border with Ukraine.

A Russian Defense Ministry spokesman declined to say

where the troops were now positioned.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. had “no evidence” of a pullback, and NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen told reporters that the alliance had “not seen any sign that Russia is withdrawing its troops.”

Businesses can forbid concealed weapons

Islamic militant attack in Nigeria kills hundreds LAGOS, Nigeria – Islamic militants who have triggered international outrage over the kidnapping of more than 270 Nigerian schoolgirls opened fire on a busy marketplace, killing hundreds of people in a new spasm of violence in the

• CONCEALED CARRY Continued from page A1 Mickey Schuch, president of the McHenry County Right to Carry Association and a certified instructor, said the concealed-carry numbers he’s seen are consistent with other semi-urbanized counties. He could instruct more people than he does, but he said he is busy with his family construction business and is picky about whom he teaches.

Schuch said he anticipates some of the excitement for gun owners who finally have concealed carry is going to wear off. Some will put off going through the course, he said, while others will take the course and get the license but not carry.

“With most people, it ends up that one in 10 end up being the true believers who want to go through their day armed,” Schuch said.

Yet others don’t want to carry because they believe Illinois’ law, which contains a long list of restrictions, is too onerous.

Attorney Jim Bishop, a longtime gun owner who co-founded the county’s chapter of the pro-hunting conservation group Ducks Unlimited in 1976, said the state’s concealed-carry law is too burdensome to be worth it.

Among the places where concealed carry is banned are mass transit, schools and college campuses, government buildings and courthouses, parks, stadiums, hospitals, street festivals, and bars and restaurants where alcohol makes up more than half of total sales.

Businesses have the right to forbid concealed weapons from their premises if they post a state-designed sign banning them.

“In Illinois, it’s so restrictive as to where you can and can’t take it,” Bishop said. “I want to wait, and there’s a fair amount of talk in Spring-

Continued from page A1 to referendum for any requested increase, even if it is below the tax cap, after it got a cold reception from a McHenry County Board committee that the conservation district asked to support it.

Tax revenues are falling with property values, and the district has much more land to maintain in the wake of two successful voter referendums in 2001 and 2007. The district, which now maintains 32 conservation areas with more than 25,000 acres of open space, is expected to lose $2 million over the next four years with the decline in home values if the current maximum rate stays the same.

Conservation district Executive Director Elizabeth Kessler could not be reached

we picking the most mission-critical vehicles in our fleet to do it?” Provenzano asked.

Provenzano, citing the upcoming change in sheriff’s office leadership, proposed a motion to table contract discussion until after the new sheriff takes office in December.

The motion, seconded by Paula Yensen, D-Lake in the Hills, who aired the same concern, died in a 6-16 vote.

The state rebate the county hopes to collect for the converted vehicles expires this summer, according to county staff.

Prim said Tuesday afternoon that he is disappointed in the vote, but said he will deal with it when the time comes if voters in November elect him sheriff.

“I don’t believe that this is the most viable alternative fuel source out there, and this isn’t the most prudent way to go about it,” Prim said.

The McHenry County Conservation District over the past decade has been moving away from gasoline-powered vehicles. Eighty percent of the McHenry County Conservation District’s fleet of 63 vehicles has the ability to be powered by alternative fuels.

Of those 50 vehicles, 18 of them are powered by liquid propane.

• PROPANE Continued from page A1 office maintenance crews.

But the county plans to offset that cost by applying for a state program offering a $4,000 energy refund for each converted vehicle.

AmeriGas Propane, of Gurnee, received the bid to supply the propane, and is building a filling station at its own expense for sheriff’s office vehicles. The converted vehicles will be able to run on both propane and gasoline.

“It’s not going to cost anything when it’s all said and done,” Zinke said Wednesday. “We’re doing the next sheriff a favor ...

We’re giving him a gift.”

But several board members questioned how much cost savings the sheriff’s department will see, given that liquid propane is subject to price volatility. Propane supplies have a hard time adjusting to unusual demand increases, such as very cold winters.

Board member John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, questioned the impact that conversion would have on the vehicle warranties, Others, like Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, raised questions about vehicle reliability.

“If we’re going to venture into green vehicles, why are

Illinois police have been reviewing concealed-carry applications. By the end of January, more than 16,000 people filed paperwork to get a license.

“In Illinois, it’s so restrictive as to where you can and can’t take it. I want to wait, and there’s a fair amount of talk in Springfield that the bill will be amended to be comparable to other states. Illinois is so far behind in this subject, it’s unbelievable.”

Jim Bishop Attorney and longtime gun owner in McHenry County field that the bill will be amended to be comparable to other states. Illinois is so far behind in this subject, it’s unbelievable.”

But advancing gun rights legislation, and gun control legislation for that matter, is a dicey proposition in Springfield because of the state’s ideological divide over gun rights.

Lawmakers in Demo-

crat-dominated Chicago advocate strict gun control. Downstate lawmakers, Democrat and Republican alike, support gun rights, and the suburbs are mixed, which means laws that tilt too heavily one way or the other usually do not have the votes to pass.

A number of bills have been filed since the start of spring session in January to change the concealed-carry law along those ideological lines, but odds are few or none of them will move forward.

Parker, who runs her own one-woman firearm training business, Artemis Protection Training, predicts that will change as Illinois becomes more accustomed to the new law.

“I think [concealed carry] will only increase, especially as Illinois gets more comfortable with concealed carry.

The sky is not going to fall because the citizens are carrying guns. They do that in 49 other states,” Parker said.

The right to carry handguns in public varies by state.

Some states, such as New

“We’re all terribly overtaxed in McHenry County, and I can’t in good conscience allow that to happen.”

Jack Franks D-Marengo

for comment Wednesday afternoon.

At least two of McHenry County’s representatives in the House, Republican David McSweeney and Democrat Jack Franks, already were on record as opposing the bill.

Both lawmakers – Franks the veteran and McSweeney the freshman – have filed property tax relief bills and have sponsored one another’s efforts.

McSweeney on Wednesday

called increasing property taxes “the last thing we need to do.”

“We’re all terribly overtaxed in McHenry County, and I can’t in good conscience allow that to happen,” Franks said.

Althoff said she will not ask another lawmaker to take over to move the bill forward.

The spring session ends May 31.

“I think [Tryon] does what he thinks is in the best interest of his constituents, and [knows] the atmosphere of support in his chamber,” Althoff said.

Tryon is unsure about whether he will call a second Althoff bill, Senate Bill 3341, that would clarify a 25-year legislative oversight that the conservation district alleges creates ambiguity as to the maximum it can borrow in bonds.

Nosedive in traffic deaths a healthy trend Don’t look now, but Illinois’ highway traffic fatalities have taken a big nosedive since the beginning of the year.

As of Tuesday, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation, 242 people had lost their lives in fatal crashes on all roadways in the state.

That marks a nearly 27 percent reduction compared with the 330 fatalities For the record from the same date a year ago.

The trend for much safer With one-third highways in 2014 has been of the year in the established. Let’s keep it going. books, Illinoisans have reason to celebrate such good news.

What could be the cause?

Here are a few possibilities: • The ban on drivers using hand-held cellphones took effect Jan. 1. With one less distraction behind the wheel, drivers might be having fewer crashes en route to their destinations.

• Drifting snow, slippery ice and bonechilling cold might have discouraged drivers from making road trips during certain times in January, February and March. Fewer people on the road could have led to fewer crashes.

• The increase in the interstate highway speed limit from 65 mph to 70 mph also could have been a factor, although it sounds counterintuitive. However, supporters of the 70 mph limit argued that highway safety would improve if more vehicles traveled at the same speed.

Last year, when 992 people lost their lives in Illinois traffic crashes, the death rate was 2.72 per day.

If the current death rate for 2014 of 1.92 per day continues through December, Illinois is on track to experience a nearly 300-person reduction in its death toll, to about 700.

That would be the fewest fatalities since record keeping began in 1920, and the biggest year-to-year decline since 1943.

How can motorists continue to participate in this beneficial trend?

Keep their hands off cellphones while behind the wheel, and keep their eyes on the road.

Distracted driving, in fact, is one of the “Fatal Four” infractions that State Police continue to target for enforcement, along with speeding, driving under the influence and not wearing seat belts.

Disobeying the seat-belt law remains a problem. Among the 242 fatalities thus far in 2014, restraint was not used, or used improperly, in 66 instances.

Of course, seat belts cannot always prevent death. It’s worth noting that, so far this year, 88 people who wore seat belts in fatal crashes still lost their lives.

The trend for much safer highways in 2014 has been established. Let’s keep it going. We urge people to continue to drive defensively and watch out for the other guy.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Change through voting To the Editor: Did anyone expect anything less of Michael Madigan and the state Democratic Party?

By filing a lawsuit challenging the two citizen referendums, they are doing their best to save their “parttime” jobs in Springfield, once again sticking it to the taxpayers.

Without term limits, which also should apply to the governor and five other statewide offices, there is little hope of this state getting back on track with the current financial woes they have put us in.

If they can quash the redistricting referendum, another feather in their cap to keeping their jobs.

This is the same rhetoric spewed

by Bryan Smith, executive director of Township Officials of Illinois (“Township Rebuttal,” April 18).

The last sentence of his letter read: “Those serving the townships across the state are men and women who have dedicated their lives to public service and are doing so honorably.” That may be true in a few downstate townships.

In northern Illinois that sentence should finish with: ... have dedicated their lives to keeping their jobs.

If anyone challenges a township

on its existence, family and friends of township officials show up in droves to stop any such challenge.

Sound like they’re working for the people?

Not enough voters get out on Election Day. You better believe the politicians and all of their family and friends get out to vote.

The only way to make any changes is for the rest of us to get out and vote.

Good luck, Illinois.

He voted to cut food stamp assistance to the working poor, the majority of whom are single mothers and their children, while giving subsidies to oil companies and reducing taxes for the wealthy even more.

He voted to make Medicaid for the poor into block grants to the states – further reducing access to health care for our minimumwage earners. He does not believe in raising the minimum wage – it would be too much to ask the “job creators.”

I would like to see him live on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Consider these facts when you go to the polls in November.

Gail M. Albers Woodstock

It’s time to correct the record on Joseph McCarthy Dear Victor Davis Hanson, You suggest in your syndicated column, “Harry Reid: A McCarthy for Our Time,” that we “ask Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) the same question once posed to Sen. Joseph McCarthy by U.S. Army head counsel Joseph N. Welch: ‘Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?’”

First, I would like to ask you a question: Are you aware of the context of Welch’s showboating remarks?

M. Stanton Evans did the spadework in “Blacklisted by History,” his groundbreaking – no, orbitreversing – book about the late Sen. McCarthy, who died in 1957. The book devastates the fact-devoid conventional wisdom (including the “no decency” fable) on McCarthy and reconstructs an evidence-based record. A very different person emerges from Evans’ research: a political leader who – alas for the purveyors of “court history” – in no way resembles the execrable Harry Reid.

Yes, Welch theatrically denounced McCarthy at a June 1954 Senate hearing for outing Welch’s assistant, Frederick Fisher, as a former member of a Communist front, the National Lawyers Guild.

But weeks earlier, on April 16, 1954, Welch himself outed Fisher – confirming that he’d relieved Fisher from duty over his previous front

membership – in the pages of The New York Times.

It sounds fantastic – it is fantastic – but somehow Welch’s baseless “no decency” accusation lingers, its staying power derived from wells of pure ignorance, laziness or mendacity. It cries out for correction.

Next, you equate Reid’s smear of the peaceful patriots supporting Cliven Bundy as “domestic terrorists” with what you describe as McCarthy’s “smearing his opponents with lurid allegations, while questioning their patriotism.”

Peaceful patriots demonstrating about federal government overreach equals covert Communists infiltrating the federal government? Is that a logical pairing? Which peaceful patriots did McCarthy smear with “lurid allegations,” anyway?

I note that despite your being a widely respected historian, the historical record is not a part of this essay.

That is, your examples of Reid’s allegedly McCarthy-like evil come down to the familiar buzz phrases – “Have you no decency?” and “lurid allegations,” the famous list of names, “un-American.”

Take Reid’s slander of Mitt Romney as a tax cheat and what you deservedly call Reid’s “pathetic rejoinder” on being asked for proof: “I’ve had a number of people tell me that.” You compare that to McCarthy’s 1950 list of Communists on the State Department payroll.

Editorial Board: John Rung, Dan McCaleb, Jason Schaumburg, Kevin Lyons, Jon Styf, Stacia Hahn, John Sahly

VIEWS Diana West You write: “One wonders how many names were on Reid’s McCarthyite ‘tell’ list – were there, as McCarthy used to bluster, 205 names, or perhaps just 57?”

Again, is this an apt historical parallel? Malicious slander against a GOP nominee and allegations about serious security lapses in the State Department? I don’t think so.

If the implication in your use of the word “bluster” is that McCarthy had no list of names, I’m sorry, but the evidence laid out in “Blacklisted

by History” (Chapter 14) tells us otherwise.

Your column continues: “When asked again to document the slur, Reid echoed McCarthy perfectly: ‘The burden should be on him. He’s the one I’ve alleged has not paid any taxes.’”

In what instance has “Reid echoed McCarthy perfectly”? Are you implying that McCarthy’s investigations into Communists in the federal government were based on evidence of no higher caliber or substance than Reid’s wholly unsubstantiated bombast?

Then you ask: “So how does Reid’s reckless career continue with the Senate leader avoiding the sort

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

of congressional censure that finally did in McCarthy? Why is there is no progressive muckraker to take on Reid the way that Edward R. Murrow once exposed McCarthy?”

It would be fun to throw a pop quiz at all historians and journalists who write on this issue to see what they really know about the “congressional censure” that “did in” McCarthy. Would they know that out of the original 46 charges against McCarthy, the Senate voted to censure McCarthy on only one single count? And what was that count? McCarthy’s alleged stonewalling of the Gillette committee, a fishing expedition into the finances of his family and friends during one of multiple witch hunt-style investigations the Senate initiated against him.

No doubt it’s easier to allude to such events than to explain them.

Ditto on how “muckraker” Murrow “exposed” McCarthy. I have a hunch that the punditry’s explanation would closely track the synopsis of the completely ahistorical George Clooney movie on Murrow, “Good Night and Good Luck.”

Instead, I suggest “Blacklisted by History,” pages 538 and 539.

Tragically, the recurring and gratuitous slander of the late, great McCarthy prevents Americans from understanding the enormous debt we owe the man for having had the unflagging courage to bring to light the dangerously lax security prac-

tices in the federal government that enabled Soviet agents and agents of influence (American traitors) in their extremely successful – I call it victorious in my book “American Betrayal” – covert war on this country.

More relevant to our time, so long as we profoundly misunderstand “McCarthyism,” I believe we will be unable to protect our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Meanwhile, it is a plain truth that McCarthy correctly identified more than “a few” Communists in the federal government, as other historians such as Harvey Klehr have written. In fact, McCarthy identified scores of them. In articles for Human Events and Breitbart News, M. Stanton Evans recently tallied up no fewer than 50 (when, for brevity’s sake, he stopped counting).

You conclude: “Part Tammany Hall-style fixer, part pre-civil rights Democrat, and part demagogic Joe McCarthy, Harry Reid is a throwback to a type of American politics better left forgotten.”

I don’t think the demagogy here is McCarthy’s.

CARY BAIT SHOP OPEN AFTER FIRE CARY – The Lake Julian Trout Farm has reopened despite a small fire that took place on Sunday.

Heat from a wood-burning stove ignited insulation in the attic of the bait shop, causing the fire on the business’ roof, fire officials have said.

Dorothy Miller, owner of Lake Julian Trout Farm, said about $8,000 in damage was caused by the fire. Miller said her shop was receiving phone calls about whether the business was closed long-term. However, the shop opened as scheduled on Wednesday.

The fire started about one hour before closing. The shop is normally closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which allowed employees to clean up.

ISLAND LAKE – An additional $100,000 of missing police pension fund dollars will be repaid under a proposed budget.

The Island Lake Village Board is set to vote on the balanced $7.6 million budget for fiscal 2014-15 at its meeting Thursday evening.

The budget includes a total of $150,000 for the police pension fund, including the $50,000 in developer impact fees that the Village Board approved in February.

The allocation made the first dent in the nearly $400,000 owed to the pension fund.

Instead of going into the police pension fund as required by state law, the nearly $400,000 had been used to pay village bills over several years.

The finance director who authorized the payments was fired by the board earlier this year in a 4-3 vote.

The salary for his position, which has not been filled, makes up most of the additional $100,000 headed to repay the fund, village Treasurer Ed McGinty said. The salary of another administrative position was reduced when an older employee retired and was replaced by a new, cheaper employee.

“It’s been a shave here and a shave there as they say,” McGinty said. “There are no real cuts at all in the budget as far as services are concerned.

There are no layoffs. None at all. It’s basically last year’s budget added to it and taken away.”

FOX RIVER GROVE: FUNDRAISER PLANNED

Fox River Grove man dies in motorcycle crash

Road and Route 14, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Joseph Masino crashed at the intersection at 1:38 p.m., Barrington police said.

There was no train involvement and Masino was going west on Route 14 at the time of the crash, according to Bar-

Victory is ours after 5K practice run The practice 5K last week was amazing.

At the beginning, we were all so excited and confident, and we stayed that way the whole time. The weather may have been really bad (it was raining a lot) when we started to run, but we raced through it.

I think the encouragement really kept us going. The running buddies were awesome because we had someone to talk with as we ran, and we didn’t have to run alone. We even had some teachers come run with us and support us.

That was really thoughtful of them.

We had people cheering us on every lap, and when we were on the second lap, we knew we were halfway done, so we kept hustling.

But the best part about the 5K was the finish line. All the victory we had when we rushed through the ribbon.

We knew right there and then that all that training had paid off. All the huffs and puffs had paid off. We, as a team, had finished together. Then, as a team, we celebrated achieving our goal. Even though we were freezing, we learned that if we work for things in our life, we will reach them. Like the saying, “We don’t wish, we work.”

Dorn would not comment on whether Masino was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

GIRLS ON THE RUN Ansley Morlock

Barrington School District 220 announced Wednesday that Masino had graduated from Barrington High School in 2013, having previously attended Countryside and Station schools in Barrington.

A fund to help Masino’s family cover funeral expenses has been established at Northern

cording to police.

The crash is being investigated by the Barrington Police Department’s Major Crash Investigation Team and the Lake County Major Crash Assistance Team. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday morning by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

WOODSTOCK – Starting Jan. 1, 2015, court cases now heard at the McHenry Branch Court will be moved to the McHenry County Courthouse, the 22nd Judicial Circuit officials announced this week.

Court Administrator Dan Wallis said the decision to close the branch was part security, part dwindling case filings.

Court filings and the

number of cases heard at the branch court have been falling off the past three years, so it doesn’t make much sense to staff it, Wallis said.

According to the most recent data provided by Wallis, branch court filings were down 2,396 between 2011 and 2012.

Cases heard before a judge decreased 1,516 year over year. Case filings are citations that are paid without appearing before a judge. There were 13,342 cases filed in the branch

court in 2012, and 8,804 were heard.

The circuit court on Wednesdays sends a judge, an IT administrator, four clerks and two courthouse security officers to McHenry’s Municipal Center for these cases – mostly traffic and ordinance violations. It’s a building not equipped with the same security measures as the courthouse, Wallis said, adding that factored into the decision to close the branch.

out about $41 million in bonds – the exact number will be based on a cap that ties how much districts can borrow to property values – to finance building improvements and maintenance.

The bonds will be paid back using property taxes. Property owners will see the bond portion on their tax bills stay at 2014 levels instead of dropping off as previously planned.

The goal is to have a deci-

Two options include moving both grades to Johnsburg Junior High or moving the third-graders to the Ringwood Primary Center and the fourth-graders to the junior high, according to documents prepared by the architecture and design firms.

Moving the third-graders to

Ringwood would cost the district about $700,000 less than housing both grades at the junior high, but those estimates don’t take into consideration other factors, including equity among buildings, space, geography, enrollment projects or transportation.

The forum will start at 7 p.m. at Johnsburg High School.

Attendees will be divided into small groups. which will

After a brief overview of the timeline is provided, participants will be encouraged to share their thoughts. The ideas will be recorded, and the results will be presented to the school board.

Further along in the process, the district plans on setting up steering committees for each building to provide input on its changes.

individuals have successfully completed the program involving comprehensive drug treatment, close supervision and full accountability.

Prior to participating in the Drug Court program, those offenders accounted for 192 criminal misdemeanor, felony and driving under the influence arrests in McHenry County, according to a news release. Since participating, the same group has accumulated two subsequent arrests

and two graduates have been charged with a new offense.

Had the 17 offenders been traditionally prosecuted, they would have faced a minimum cumulative total of 49 years in prison at a cost of about $1,875,132.

Drug Court is a judicially supervised court docket, which reduces correctional costs, increases community safety and improves public welfare. In Drug Courts, drug-addicted individuals

remain in treatment for long periods of time while under close supervision.

They are regularly and randomly tested for drug use, required to appear frequently in court for the judge to review their progress, rewarded for doing well and sanctioned for not living up to their obligations.

“It’s a win-win all around, we think,” Peranich said.

Chief Financial Officer Susan Harkin said the state first looked at projects that would improve doors and locks at

schools before considering projects that would strictly strengthen windows.

The emergency management agency ultimately received 623 applications, totaling $54 million, for the safety grants. More than two dozen individuals reviewed applica-

tions and selected 1,132 projects for the $25 million in grants.

“Based upon the criteria used to award the grant, we are disappointed but not surprised,” Harkin said.

District 300 officials don’t have any immediate plans to use their own money to pay for

the security projects.

But board members slightly increased student fees earlier this year to pay for other security upgrades on the district’s radar. Officials also used $100,000 from their budget last year to enhance doors and locks at certain schools.

A five-hour rental for a row boat would save nonresidents $6 to $7 depending on the size of the boat while a three-hour rental would only result in a dollar or two in savings.

All other fees, such as parking and pavilion rentals, remained the same.

After being more expen-

sive than other parks last year, the new rates are more in line with Rock Cut State Park and Independence Grove. Three Oaks also will offer a new rental option with an electric paddle pontoon boat. The rate is $30 per hour for residents and $35 per hour for nonresidents.

One additional safety measure was implemented for Three Oaks’ offseason, prohibiting snowmobiles from operating within the park.

Alibaba Group is aiming to raise $1 billion in a long-awaited IPO likely to have ripple effects across the Internet. The filing sets the stage for the technology industry’s biggest initial public offering since short messaging service Twitter and its early investors collected $1.8 billion in its stock market debut last fall.

Big prospects China’s Alibaba seeks blockbuster IPO in U.S.

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – Alibaba Group, the king of e-commerce in China, is dangling a deal that could turn into one of the biggest IPOs in history.

In a long-awaited move this week, Alibaba filed for an initial public offering of stock in the U.S. that could surpass the $16 billion that Facebook and its early investors raised in the social networking company’s IPO two years ago.

Alibaba’s paperwork says it will raise at least $1 billion, but finance professionals believe that is a notional figure to get the IPO process rolling and say that the Chinese company’s ambitions for the share sale are much richer.

“This is going to be the granddaddy of all IPOs,” predicted Sam Hamadeh, CEO of PrivCo, which researches privately held corporations.

Although it’s not well-known in the United States, Alibaba is an ecommerce powerhouse that makes more money than Amazon.com Inc. and eBay Inc. combined. It has helped drive the rise of e-commerce in China, a transformation that has given millions of households greater access to clothes, books and consumer electronics in a society that in the 1980s still required ration tickets for some supermarket items.

Shopping online has become even more popular as smartphones give more Chinese easy access to a computer. Alibaba’s launch of an online payment system, Alipay, filled the gap for the shoppers who lacked credit cards. Still growing at an explosive rate, online shopping is forecast by consulting firm McKinsey to triple from 2011 levels to $400 billion a year by 2015.

Alibaba is also expanding at a

Taobao is an online shopping bazaar similar to eBay, while Tmall serves as an online outlet for brands sold by major retailers.

Last year, 231 million customers bought $248 billion in merchandise on Alibaba’s e-commerce sites, according to the IPO documents. About $37 billion, or 15 percent, of that was through mobile devices.

For now, Alibaba isn’t specifying how much stock will be sold in the IPO, or setting a price range or saying which U.S. exchange its stock will trade on. Those details will emerge as the IPO progresses. The process is likely to take three to four months be-

fore Alibaba’s shares begin trading.

One of the reasons Alibaba may set a new IPO fundraising bar is because one of its major shareholders, Yahoo Inc., is supposed to sell about 208 million shares, too.

Credit and debit card processor Visa Inc. holds the record for the richest IPO in the U.S. at nearly $18 billion. State-owned Agricultural Bank of China’s IPO in 2010 on exchanges in Hong Kong and Shanghai is the world’s biggest at $22 billion in final proceeds.

Most of Alibaba is currently owned by four shareholders: Japan’s SoftBank Corp., with a 34 percent stake; Yahoo, with 23 percent; former CEO and co-founder Jack Ma with 8.9 percent; and vice chairman and cofounder Joseph Tsai with 3.6 percent.

But she cautioned that “it’s hard to get clear evidence” that pay or wealth disparities have slowed economic growth.

McHENRY – McHenry County College’s Shah Center got a $106,500 Employer Training Investment Program training grant that will be used to help area manufacturers train existing full-time employees.

The grant is funded through the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and is designed to help workers upgrade their skills to remain current in new technologies and business practices, according to a news release from the college.

The funding will be used to reimburse companies for up to 50 percent of the training costs completed from July 1, 2013, through Dec. 31 for currently employed full-time workers.

This covers individual courses held at the Shah Center or for customized training coordinated through the contract training department for an individual company.

Yellen countered that low rates had strengthened overall economic growth and helped home prices recover from the housing bust, thereby helping ordinary households.

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER WASHINGTON – Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said Wednesday that the U.S. economy is improving but noted that the job market remains “far from satisfactory” and inflation is still below the Fed’s target rate.

Speaking to Congress’ Joint Economic Committee, Yellen said that as a result, she expects low borrowing rates will continue to be needed for a “considerable time.”

Yellen’s comments echo earlier signals that the Fed has no intention of acting soon to raise its key target for short-term interest rates even though the job market has strengthened and economic growth is poised to rebound this year.

The Fed has kept short-term rates at a record low near zero since December 2008.

At the same time, Yellen cautioned that geopolitical tensions, a renewal of financial stress in emerging markets and a faltering housing recovery pose potential threats.

In response to a question, Yellen described rising income disparities in the United States as a “very worrisome trend” that could undercut eco-

DEERFIELD – Mondelez and D.E. Master Blenders will link their coffee businesses together as Mondelez concentrates increasingly on its snack foods division and cost cutting.

The deal is part of a $3.5 billion restructuring program underway at Mondelez that is projected to create $1.5 billion in savings by 2018.

The company said that the restructuring is expected to include some job cuts, but it did not specify how many positions or where.

Shares of Mondelez rose more than 7 percent in midday trading Wednesday.

Mondelez, which makes Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies, Trident gum and Cadbury chocolate, split from Kraft Foods Group Inc. in late 2012.

The newly formed coffee producer will sell Gevalia, Tassimo and Jacobs, which are Mondelez brands, and Senseo and Douwe Egberts from D.E. Master Blenders, formerly the Sara Lee coffee business.

The new company, with annual revenue of more than $7 billion, will be called Jacobs Douwe Egberts and it will be headquartered in the Netherlands.

Mondelez International Inc. had about $3.9 billion in revenue in 2013, while D.E. Master Blenders 1753 B.V. had approximately $3.4 billion.

Chain O’ Lakes Brewing Co. owner Curt Ames got permission from the McHenry City Council this week to set up tables south of his existing building, 3425 Pearl St., with umbrella structures and lighting to create a beer garden with an area for live entertainment. A rear portion of the lot could be used for mobile food or beer trucks to park during larger events.

The City Council granted Ames a temporary-use permit running through Oct. 31 for the beer garden.

Ames said the beer garden will be unveiled at a special event June 7, marking the day the former McHenry Brewing Co., which occupied the same building, closed its doors in 1942.

Behind Alibaba IPO is unlikely China success story

By KELVIN CHAN The Associated Press HONG KONG – The mammoth IPO planned by e-commerce giant Alibaba Group highlights founder Jack Ma’s improbable rise to China’s entrepreneur-in-chief.

Ma, a former English teacher who flunked his college entrance exam twice, founded Alibaba in his apartment in 1999 with 17 friends and $60,000 they had raised. Charismatic by the gray standards of Chinese CEOs, the impish Ma has cult status in China, where he’s seen as the equivalent of Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates.

In a country where state-owned enterprises dominate business and many owe their wealth to Communist Party ties, Ma stands out for his huge self-made success. Alibaba, which started as a site to link Chinese manufacturers with buyers overseas, became under Ma an ecommerce behemoth that is now expanding into banking, digital maps and online video.

The paperwork for Alibaba’s initial public offering says it will raise at least $1 billion from the U.S. listing, but finance professionals believe that is a conservative notional figure to get the IPO process rolling.

Estimates for the amount that could be raised have ranged from $10 billion to $20 billion. The price at which shares are sold might give Alibaba a market valuation of $200 billion, which is greater than Facebook.

Ma, who owns 8.9 percent of the company, is likely to become even wealthier following the IPO. He’s already worth $8.4 billion, making him China’s fifth-richest person, according to Forbes.

Ma, 49, stepped down as CEO last year, saying in a letter to employees that he’s “no longer young for the Internet business.” He remains chairman and an important figurehead for the company’s 21,000 employees, though he’s now focusing on philanthropy and recently established a charitable trust potentially worth billions.

“It would be hard to find a private citizen in China who’s had such a big impact on the economy,” said Porter Erisman, maker of a documentary about Alibaba and the company’s former vice president of marketing.

“I look at him as the pied piper of entrepreneurs in China. He created this platform, he pushed China online.”

Ma is known as an enthralling speaker with a penchant for puns and slogans who enjoys performing

at annual company meetings called Alifests. To mark the company’s 10th anniversary in 2009, some 16,000 staff gathered in a stadium at Alibaba’s Hangzhou home base were treated to a performance by Ma dressed as a punk rocker.

The entrepreneur may have inherited his knack for showmanship from his parents, who were performers of pingtan, a traditional form of storytelling and balladry that was banned during the violent upheaval of the Cultural Revolution.

As a boy, he was terrible at math but better at English and improved it by volunteering as tour guide in Hangzhou, a picturesque city near Shanghai. He earned an English degree from Hangzhou Teachers’ Institute after passing the college exam on the third try. He taught at a local college, then set up his own translation company but moonlighted as a street peddler, hawking flowers, books, flashlights and clothes, to balance the books.

Ma first encountered the Internet in 1995. After word got around about his English proficiency, he was asked to help sort out a road construction project that was going sour over unpaid debts by meeting the American joint venture partner in California. Ma soon realized he

Yellen: Weak wage gains signal subpar job market • YELLEN Continued from page B5 Rep. Kevin Brady, RTexas, the committee chairman, pressed Yellen to specify when the Fed might start raising short-term rates and how it will act to pare its record holdings of Treasury and mortgage bonds.

Yellen said she couldn’t give a date. But she said the Fed expects to begin raising rates when it sees enough progress in restoring full employment and when inflation has returned to its target of 2 percent.

She pointed to the Fed’s latest quarterly economic forecasts, which showed that most members expect the Fed to begin raising short-term rates in 2015 or 2016.

Yellen noted that even when the Fed’s bond purchases end, it intends to maintain

its high level of holdings and will begin to reduce them only when the economy can withstand the pullback. The Fed’s record investment portfolio exceeds $4 trillion.

But Yellen also stressed that the Fed wants to avoid past mistakes of keeping its policies loose for too long and thereby fueling inflation. She noted the prolonged bout of high inflation of the 1970s.

“The lessons of that period are very real to all of us, and none of us want to make that mistake again,” Yellen said.

Yellen’s testimony marked her first chance to discuss the economy since the Fed met last week and the government said Friday that the economy added 288,000 jobs in April, the biggest hiring surge in two years. The unemployment rate dropped to 6.3 percent, its lowest point since 2008, from 6.7 percent in March.

But the unemployment

had no intention of paying up. To stop Ma from leaving, the American locked him in his Malibu mansion for several days and, by some accounts, flashed a gun.

“It was really like a classic American-style Hollywood film. I was taken hostage by a kind of Mafia, so that I just left my suitcase behind,” Ma said, recounting his escape to Liu Shiying and Martha Avery, authors of the 2009 book “Alibaba.”

Ma persuaded the American to let him go by telling him they could work together on a project involving the Internet, which he had heard about vaguely. Instead of heading home, he flew to Seattle, where he met some contacts who showed him the World Wide Web. A search for beer turned up results on American, German and Japanese varieties but no Chinese beer. Ma was intrigued and the potential for an Internet company devoted to things Chinese dawned on him.

The seeds for Alibaba were planted with China Pages, which Ma founded in 1995 with $2,400 scraped together from relatives. It created websites for local businesses, starting with his translation firm. He partnered with a state-owned enterprise, but the venture stumbled after a falling out.

He worked briefly at an e-commerce venture in Beijing backed by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation but left because of the lack of dynamism. He went back to Hangzhou to set up Alibaba, a business-to-business website that linked China’s countless exporters with buyers around the world.

He picked the company’s name because of the universal appeal of the Arabian Nights story and associated catchphrase “Open Sesame.”

The company launched retail website Taobao in 2003 to compete with eBay in China. Ma was unfazed about going up against the U.S. giant, famously saying, “Ebay is a shark in the ocean. We are a crocodile in the Yangtze River. If we fight in the ocean, we will lose. But if we fight in the river, we will win.” Ebay shuttered its China site in 2006, a major victory for Ma. Taobao’s first items for sale came from Ma and the company’s seven original employees, who each tried to find four things to sell.

“For the first three days, nobody came to buy so we had to buy it ourselves,” Ma told a Hong Kong investment conference last year. “A week later somebody came to sell. Everything they sold, we bought it. We had a whole room of garbage.”

Internet stocks have seen skittish market

rate fell that far because many fewer people began looking for work in April, thereby reducing the number of unemployed. The proportion of Americans who either have a job or are looking for one has reached a three-decade low.

Yellen cautioned that the share of the unemployed who have been out of work for more than six months and the number of people working part time who would prefer a fulltime job were at historic highs.

She also said weak wage gains are a signal of a subpar job market.

Still, at last week’s Fed meeting, the central bank indicated that it saw signs of a strengthening economy.

It approved a fourth $10 billion reduction in its monthly bond purchases to $45 billion, down from an original $85 billion. The Fed has been buying bonds to try to keep long-term rates low.

• IPO Continued from page B5 Alibaba didn’t choose an optimal time to go public.

Several Internet company stocks that soared last year amid high hopes have plummeted this year as investors reassess their prospects.

Twitter Inc. has been among the hardest hit. Since hitting a peak of $74.73 late last year, the company’s shares have lost more than half their value.

Despite the skittish conditions for Internet stocks, most analysts expect Aliba-

ba’s IPO to bring in at least $10 billion. Hamadeh predicts the IPO shares will be sold at a price that gives Alibaba a market value of $195 billion. That would eclipse Facebook’s current market value of $150 billion.

The IPO casts a spotlight on Alibaba’s extraordinary rise, which has drawn comparisons with some of Silicon Valley’s famous success stories.

The company was started in 1999 with just $60,000 in the apartment of Jack Ma, a former English school teacher with no previous experience in business or technology.

Alibaba has since blossomed, echoing China’s growing economic might, with earnings of $2.9 billion through the first nine months of its last fiscal year ending in March. That topped the combined earnings of $2.4 billion posted for the same April-December stretch by eBay and Amazon.

With Ma at the helm, Alibaba rebuffed a competitive threat after eBay entered China in 2002 and also lined up a Yahoo investment that fortified the Chinese company’s position. Ebay abandoned the Chinese market in 2006.

Spring Into a Line of Credit!

Springtime repairs beckoning?

8IN BRIEF WASHINGTON – Consumers increased their borrowing in March by the largest amount in more than a year, using their credit cards and taking out more auto and student loans.

Consumer borrowing increased $17.5 billion in March, up from a gain of $13 billion in February, the Federal Reserve reported Wednesday. It was the biggest monthly increase since a $19.3 billion advance in February 2013.

The category that includes auto and student loans rose $16.4 billion while the category that covers credit-card borrowing increased $1.1 billion.

The overall increase in

consumer debt pushed total borrowing to a record $3.14 trillion.

Gains in borrowing are seen as an encouraging sign that people are more confident and willing to take on debt.

Increased household borrowing can fuel higher consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of economic activity.

The rise in credit-card borrowing in March followed a sizable decline of $2.7 billion in February and likely reflected the pickup in retail sales in March.

The gain in borrowing for autos and student loans had also been expected given that auto sales posted a solid gain in March.

Borrowing on credit cards plunged during the recession

Leaky roof?

as consumers tried to lower their debt during a period when millions of people were losing their jobs and many people still working were worried about the threat of layoffs.

Credit-card borrowing started rising again in 2011 but the increases have lagged far behind the category that covers auto and student loans. Economists said that many households have become more cautious about taking on high-interest debt.

Credit-card debt in March was still 16.2 percent below its peak reached in July 2008. Credit card debt stood at $856.7 billion in March, up just 0.9 percent from a year ago.

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS: BLACKHAWKS VS. WILD

NFL DRAFT: BEARS

Organizations can turn on draft day Hawks What is it that makes the NFL draft more appealing than the World Series, NBA Finals or Stanley Cup? Check the marketing studies folks, in terms of fan interest and popularity, it’s actually true.

Inside It has to be the old “hope springs eterHub Arkush’s nal” factor. During the past two decades, NFL mock draft and more at least one NFL on Page C3. team, and in many years two or three, have gone from last place to first in their divisions in one offseason.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush A couple of really nice draft picks, maybe a key free-agent acquisition or two to go with them and suddenly the doormat of the division becomes the welcome mat to the playoffs.

For one three-day weekend in the spring, all 32 NFL teams are legitimate contenders.

So what will the Bears do with the 14th pick in the first round? Will

they find the next Dick Butkus, Walter Payton or Brian Urlacher, or will they give us another Mike Hull, Stan Thomas or Michael Haynes. Or will they trade the pick?

I was listening to the guys on AM670 the other day trying to identify the Bears’ worst first-round pick of all time, and as they rattled off Thomas, Haynes, Curtis Enis, Chris Williams and others, I was screaming to myself and my windshield “You’re missing it!”

For my money, the Bears’ worst first-round pick of all time was the one they traded to the Seattle Sea-

hawks for Rick Mirer.

As Dave Wannstedt told me some time after, “Hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time.”

There you have it. No team in NFL history ever has made a firstround choice that didn’t seem like a good idea at the time. Some work out, some cost general managers and coaches their jobs.

Drafting in the NFL is in fact more an art than a science. If it was science, an awful lot of guys could learn to do it well.

NFL DRAFT: C.J. FIEDOROWICZ

unfazed by loss Setback not necessarily a ‘wake-up call’ for veteran club

the NFL, makes it big, does his thing and forgets about his roots.”

Fiedorowicz will watch the draft’s second and third rounds Friday night at Raymond’s Bowl. On Saturday, he will spend three hours signing autographs for kids anxious to meet their football hero. He will be surrounded by family and friends at both events, celebrating with those he has spent his entire life with – all within living within the small-town boundaries that 6,300 people call home.

Even before his big night, Fiedorowicz has pondered the possibilities of where he could land, having researched which teams

After an almost perfunctory Game 3 loss on the road Tuesday night, the questions that weren’t asked of the Blackhawks on Wednesday were as significant as the ones that were asked.

Nobody wanted to know if “this is a series again.” Or if the Minnesota Wild had the Hawks’ number – if Mike Yeo had found the antidote for the Hawks’ offensive a t t a c k t h a t Game 4 nobody else could find. at Minnesota, Nobody wants 8:30 p.m. Friday, to know if the NBCSN, 87.7-FM Hawks are on tilt after a 4-0 loss at Xcel Energy Arena.

We know by now they are not. With all due respect to the Wild, the Hawks have been here so many times, it’s as if they know what’s coming next. When you’ve overcome hurdles much higher than one playoff road loss to win Stanley Cups, it’s hard to blame them.

“I think we’re happy where we’re at,” forward Patrick Kane said. “Obviously, it’s never fun losing a game. But it’s going to happen, especially in the playoffs.”

The Hawks easily turned the page of a postseason script that is looking like a Broadway play they can perform in their sleep. The Hawks predictably rose to the challenge against the St. Louis Blues in the opening round – predictably making one game-deciding play after another in winning four straight games after losing the first two games in overtime.

They paid due respect to an upstart second-round foe (“We’re not taking them lightly, if that’s what you’re asking,” Patrick Sharp said before the Wild series began).

They predictably won two home games against the Wild by waiting until the third period to put the hammer down.

And just when it looked like the Hawks might have reached a new level and were ready to avoid the dreaded first-roadgame loss, they – predictably – let the Wild drag them down to their level in textbook fashion and lost 4-0.

Cue the “wake-up call” quote.

“I think if anything, it’s a wake-up call for us,” Kane said.

“Winning six games in a row, maybe we were a little overconfident in ourselves; and Minnesota did a good job of making it a series [Wednesday] night.”

Saturday: Fourth through seventh rounds, 11 a.m.

JOHNSBURG – C.J. Fiedorowicz stood in the front of a junior high band room with his right arm fully extended and left his hand an open target.

One by one, middle schoolers leaped into the air, slapping Fiedorowicz’s palm. Some required a running start. Others barely jumped. With each passing high-five, the smile on Fiedorowicz’s face remained intact.

A week before his professional football career would begin, Fiedorowicz was a center-stage attraction in his hometown.

For more than 30 minutes, the Johns-

burg native and former Iowa tight end answered questions from wide-eyed junior high students. When did he know he wanted to play in the NFL? What would he do differently in school if he could? What team does he hope chooses him?”

Fiedorowicz always planned to spend the days leading up to the NFL draft, which starts at 7 p.m. Thursday, in Johnsburg.

The rural community where he spent most of his life before he left to play Big Ten football would always be home no matter how big of a star Fiedorowicz becomes.

Burris, Sargeant come up big for PR

By KEVIN MEYER kmeyer@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – For the second straight day, the Prairie Ridge baseball team got a strong effort from its starting pitcher and timely hitting to beat Jacobs.

Danny Burris pitched a complete-game shutout and Marcus Sargeant delivered a clutch two-out, two-run single to lead the Wolves to a 2-0 victory over Jacobs in Fox Valley Conference Valley Division play Wednesday.

“Burris was lights out today,”

Video online Watch highlights of Wednesday’s Jacobs vs. Prairie Ridge baseball game at McHenryCountySports.com.

Prairie Ridge coach Glen Pecoraro said. “I really like how our pitching staff is coming into play and how our starters are settling down.

“I really like where we’re at, and feel like we can beat any team on any given day.”

Burris continued where Wolves (12-14, 8 -6 FVC Valley) starter Ben

Cilano left off in Tuesday’s 9-2 victory in nine innings against Jacobs.

Burris was efficient, forcing several ground balls and routine flyouts en route to his complete-game shutout.

Burris only struck out one, but, like Cilano, gave up only three hits to the Golden Eagles.

“I just hit my spots and really just tried to trust my defense to make the plays for me, and they did a good job,” Burris said. “I had three pitches working and I was commanding all three, so that was nice to have.”

SOFTBALL: CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL 11, DUNDEE-CROWN 4

8INSIDE GIRLS SOCCER Player of the Week ALI FANNING Prairie Ridge, sr., D Fanning, who is heading to Grand View University (Des Moines, Iowa) next year, has been a strong part of the Wolves’ recent success, winning three straight and five of their past six matches. She is a crucial part of the Wolves’ defense and does the things that don’t show up in the box score. Fanning has been one of the area’s top defenders all season, and coach JC Brown knows she is a huge piece of Prairie Ridge’s defense.

“Ali is just that type of player that I can put on anyone, and she will shut them down,” Brown said. “She knows how to play her position so well and I’m confident having a player like her back there.”

Prairie Ridge went 2-0 this past week, not allowing a goal in either match. Fanning had the task of shutting down the best player on both Dundee-Crown and McHenry, including last week’s Player of the Week, McHenry’s Avalon Senn-Raemont.

ence crossover game against Dundee-Crown, the Tigers fell behind by two runs heading into the bottom of the third inning. But sparked by contagious hitting in the middle of its lineup, Central rallied for an 11-4 crossover win against the Chargers.

The Tigers’ Nos. 2 through 6 hitters went a combined 16 for 19 with eight extra-base hits and nine RBIs. Junior shortstop Megan Mahaffy and Kelly Iwamoto each hit two doubles and drove in two runs for Central (11-8).

“I think we’re doing a lot better with getting hits when runners are on base,” Mahaffy said. “I think we struggled getting runs in and now we’re driving in runners on base. We

need to keep working on that heading into regionals.”

Central tied the score at 2 in the third on RBI doubles from Mahaffy and Shannon Ellman.

Chargers pitcher Lauren Girard kept the score tied by getting a strikeout to end the inning with runners on second and third.

However, the Tigers’ offense came alive in the fourth and fifth innings. In the fourth, they sent 10 batters to the plate leading to five runs and a 7-2 lead. D-C (3-12) got a run back in the top of the fifth to make it a four-run game, but Central responded in the bottom half of the inning with four more runs to extend its lead to 11-3.

“We struggled early in the week, but we’re getting better

and better,” Tigers coach Brian Strombom said. “It’s nice to see the bats come alive.”

Ellman, who started the game in the circle for Central, gave herself plenty of help.

She went 3 for 3 with a double, two RBIs and two runs scored.

Ellman worked around some trouble in the early innings, and the Chargers did themsevles no favors by leaving 12 runners on base in the loss.

Ellman said her curveball was working well against D-C. “We knew we needed to score, and we knew it was a matter of time,” Ellman said.

“I knew my team was going to be behind me no matter what, so that was reassuring.”

Junior infielder Casey Weeks went 2 for 3 with a dou-

FOX VALLEY CONFERENCE TRACK AND FIELD MEET

Freeman, Roehri expect to lead C-G Trojans heavy favorites to win 6th straight title

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Noteworthy Crystal Lake Central on the rise: The Tigers have fought through goalless droughts this season, but are playing some of their best soccer of the season.

Goalkeeper Caitlyn Dayton has been in top form all season for a Crystal Lake Central team that hasn’t lost a match in regulation in nearly a month. The Tigers (8-4-1, 3-1 Fox Valley Conference Fox) have been offensively balanced this season, but Sarah Benhart and Katie Beck are two for opposing teams to keep an eye on.

Johnsburg focus on conference paying off: Talking to coach Rob Eastland after a loss to Prairie Ridge earlier in the season, he put into perspective what he wanted to accomplish this season.

“You like to win every game, but nonconference games essentially mean very little. Once we get into conference play, that’s when every game is crucial.”

The Skyhawks (7-8-1, 4-1 FVC Fox) hold the top spot in the FVC Fox, and on Thursday will play Crystal Lake Central for what looks like the division title.

Playoffs right around the corner: With the conference season winding down, the most important part of any high school sport comes once the playoffs hit. Local teams Harvard, Marengo, Richmond-Burton and Johnsburg will play in the Class 1A Harvard Regional next week, while the 2A and 3A tournaments get under way in two weeks.

This week’s top matches Crystal Lake South at Huntley, 4:30 p.m. Thursday The Gators (11-2-4, 4-0 FVC Valley) come in having not lost a match since their third contest of the season (13 matches), while the the Red Raiders have responded well to a tough 2-1 loss at Cary-Grove, by winning two straight in shutouts.

Johnsburg at Crystal Lake Central, 4:30 p.m. Thursday The aforementioned match that will have a large say in deciding the winner of the FVC Fox title.

Johnsburg has not had too much of a problem scoring goals of late, but Tigers keeper Caitlyn Dayton should be well up to the task.

Prairie Ridge at Crystal Lake South, 4:30 p.m. Tuesday Both teams come in playing some of their best soccer of the season, as the host Gators look to head strong into the playoffs, while Prairie Ridge looks to stay on the current high of what has been a bit of a rollercoaster season.

ble and RBI while junior catcher Rachel Chlopek finished 2 for 4 with an RBI to lead the Chargers.

“We didn’t string hits together at the end, which hurt us,” D-C coach Tracy Beatty said. “They started hitting us fairly well. I don’t feel, defensively, we made a lot of errors.

I just feel like they hit the balls and forced us to make some plays.”

In five innings of work, Ellman held D-C to three runs on nine hits with five strikeouts.

“She is the most calm and collect individual on the mound,” Strombom said of Ellman. “She never gets rattled, and it doesn’t matter what the score is. She has the same approach.”

Prairie Ridge’s Daniel Burris pitches during the second inning of Wednesday’s game against Jacobs. The Wolves won, 2-0. For a photo gallery of the game, log on to NWHerald.com.

Sargeant drives in game’s only runs in 3rd • BASEBALL Continued from page C1 Burris got all the run support he needed in the bottom of the third inning. With one out, Nick Schmidt walked, then reached second on a throwing error by Jacobs first baseman Ben Murray, as he attempted to start a double play on a Chris Slack groundball.

The error left runners at first and second with one out, and Pecoraro decided to use his No. 2 batter Jack Lasswell to move both runners into scoring position. Lasswell’s bunt worked and set the stage for Sargeant.

Sargeant roped a single

through the infield with both runners scoring, giving the Wolves the 2-0 advantage.

“I think our team would expect everyone to have a nice atbat in that situation, and that’s just what I was trying to do,” Sargeant said. “I think anyone on this team would have had confidence to come up big.”

Sargeant finished the game 2 for 3 with a double and the game-deciding, two-run single.

Jack Myers and Dustin Thelander each added a hit.

The win was the 12th straight for Prairie Ridge over Jacobs, dating to when Jacobs coach Jamie Murray started at Jacobs more than six years ago.

The Golden Eagles (16-9, 10-3 FVC) couldn’t muster

enough offense for the second straight game for their starter.

Reilly Peltier pitched six innings, allowing five hits, two unearned runs, while striking out four. Jacobs managed only six hits and two runs over the two-game span against the Wolves.

“We’re just snake-bitten right now,” Murray said.

“We’re just not swinging the bats well. This happens to every team and we just have to keep working on our approach and stick with the plan, trust our abilities and keep working together.”

Matt Kozlak had two of the three Jacobs’ hits and Ryan Sargent was 1 for 2 for the Eagles.

Nikki Freeman was putting in the work, honing her craft, dissecting every minute detail of her throws, but not seeing any improvement in her results.

The Cary-Grove sophomore was going through a stage throwers in track and field occasionally experience.

Then, on Friday, Freeman had her breakthrough. At the Badger (Wis.) Invitational, every one of her discus attempts was farther than 130 Nikki Freeman feet, including her career best of 140-2½.

“It was like all the hard work paid off and everything finally clicked,” Freeman said. “To get 140 was absolutely surreal.”

Freeman and teammate Olivia Roehri should get big points for the Trojans at the Fox Valley Conference Track and Field Meet, which starts with field events at 4 p.m. Thursday at Grayslake North. C-G is a heavy favorite to win its sixth consecutive title two weeks after winning its sixth McHenry County Meet championship in a row.

Freeman, the sister of former C-G double state champion Josh Freeman, won the county title, but had not eclipsed the 130-foot mark until Friday. She came back on Monday in a dual meet and again threw farther than 130 on all of her throws.

“Three weeks ago, I was sort of in a slump,” Freeman said. “I was working on the front of the ring and really cranking my right foot. I have a super supportive team. All the runners were coming up, and to them the numbers don’t mean as much, but they were congratulating me for winning It makes it so much more rewarding to do something big for the team.”

Freeman and Roehri are

the top-seeded discus throwers in the FVC and two of the top shot putters as well, both with throws of more than 35 feet. Freeman will be aiming at the FVC Meet discus record of Jacobs’ Jennie Wilczynski, set in 1994.

Josh Freeman is a sophomore at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale and one of the Missouri Valley Conference’s top throwers. He texts his little sister often after their parents, Bill and Stacy, send Josh updates and videos.

“I’m always texting her after meets,” Josh said. “They send me stuff through our phones, so I can check it out and maybe see some things she can do to throw farther. She had really high standards for this season and she started off with a 127. Then she had meets in the low 120s or the teens and it started to nag her. She’d been working so hard, she was starting to get frustrated.”

Nikki Freeman’s 140-2½ throw beat Roehri’s school record of 128-0, set two years ago.

C-G coach Mark Anderson figured Freeman was about ready to bust some big throws.

“You see throwers do that a lot,” Anderson said. “Every great thrower we’ve ever had seems to hit a lull and you make a couple tweaks. That’s what happened with Nikki and Olivia. We tweaked some things to make things better.

We were just as happy on Monday to see Olivia get 121. Their patience is being rewarded.”

Freeman said there is a long list of people who have helped with her throwing career, from Josh to current C-G throws coach Sharon Sloan to her former middle school coach Bob Psenka, who arranges summer throwing sessions for boys and girls throwers at C-G. Josh caught wind of the big throw when the Salukis arrived in Normal on Friday for a meet at Illinois State University. A teammate informed Freeman on Friday night that he had heard Nikki threw 140, Freeman thought, “He’s got to be pulling my chain.”

When Freeman reached Stacy by cellphone, she was not allowed to tell him what happened.

“I made that throw, I had to tell him about that one,” Nikki said.

NFL DRAFT

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Hub Arkush’s NFL mock draft Mock drafts are more for fun and conversation than anything else, and we hope you’ll have a blast with ours. But please keep in mind they will continue to change several more times between now and the draft. It also is worth noting that it is impossible to predict trades, which radically alter everything that happens in all the subsequent picks once a trade is made, but we occasionally will suggest one in spots where they just make too much sense. For all the latest news and entertainment, be sure and check Chicagofootball.com.

1. HOUSTON TEXANS: Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina If they can’t trade down, and Lord knows they’re trying, Clowney still is a one-ofa-kind prospect.

2. ATLANTA FALCONS (trade with Rams): Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn Falcons don’t want to miss out on Robinson and OT Jake Matthews, so they trade up to be sure.

3. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: Khalil Mack, LB, Buffalo Don’t forget they got OT Luke Joeckel last year; coach Gus Bradley can’t leave this defensive talent on the board.

4. DETROIT LIONS (trade with Browns): Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson Lions are surprised he still is on the board and can’t wait any longer.

5. OAKLAND RAIDERS: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M Now general manager Reggie McKenzie can claim he knew what he was doing letting OT Jared Veldheer get away.

6. ST. LOUIS RAMS (trade with Falcons): Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M With Evans and WR Tavon Austin together, this could get interesting.

7. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan Bucs in decent shape on defense, but have to get help for RB Doug Martin and QB Josh McCown.

8. MINNESOTA VIKINGS: Anthony Barr, LB, UCLA Vikes lean toward QB Blake Bortles, but coach Mike Zimmer can’t resist this unique defensive talent.

9. DALLAS COWBOYS (trade from Bills): Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh Owner Jerry Jones can’t sit still any longer and can’t stand the thought of not getting Donald.

10. CLEVELAND BROWNS (trade with Lions): Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida Nice job for rookie GM Ray Farmer trading down for extra picks, he can’t risk blowing first choice on Johnny Manziel.

11. TENNESSEE TITANS: Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State No matter how many mocks I do, Gilbert keeps landing here.

12. N.Y. GIANTS: Ryan Shazier, LB, Ohio State Nobody sees this coming, but let’s face it, linebackers have been problem for Giants for several years.

13. BUFFALO BILLS (trade with Rams): C.J. Mosley, LB, Alabama Bills come back up, still have net gain of picks and know Mosley’s not getting past the Bears.

14. CHICAGO BEARS: Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville Bears get lucky, best player available fits biggest area of need.

15. PITTSBURGH STEELERS: Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame The Steelers are thrilled to draft the best five-technique prospect in this draft.

16. ST. LOUIS RAMS (trade from Cowboys thru Bills): Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M I still think it’s a mistake, but a risk worth taking at No. 16, not in the top 10.

17. BALTIMORE RAVENS: Zack Martin, OT, Notre Dame Nice matchup of value and need.

18. N.Y. JETS: Marquise Lee, WR, USC Jets pluck best wideout on the board and nice complement to WR Eric Decker.

19. MIAMI DOLPHINS: Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina TE Charles Clay looks much better as a No. 2, and Ebron is a great security blanket for QB Ryan Tannehill.

20. ARIZONA CARDINALS: Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State A nice fit for the Cardinals in this spot.

21. GREEN BAY PACKERS: Troy Niklas, TE, Notre Dame A definite reach with a sky-high ceiling, the closest thing to Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski in this draft, but quite a project.

22. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State A big reach here but coach Chip Kelly sees an updated model of WR DeSean Jackson without the baggage.

23. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech Chiefs would like a wideout, but that group is deep and corners struggled in the second half of 2013.

24. CINCINNATI BENGALS: Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville Just because they’re the Bungles.

25. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS: Louis Nix, NT, Notre Dame Chargers determined to plug up the middle of their defense.

26. CLEVELAND BROWNS: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, FS, Alabama Browns go strictly best player available here.

27. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: Odell Beckham, WR, LSU Not a need but Saints are shocked he still is there.

28. CAROLINA PANTHERS: Donte Moncrief, WR, Mississippi Panthers have to go with best wideout on the board.

29. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: Ra’Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota Brings the kind of versatility coach Bill Belichick loves to move up and down the line in 30 or 40 fronts.

30. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State 49ers continue to rebuild secondary.

31. DENVER BRONCOS: Jason Verrett, CB, TCU This is a need pick and a slight reach.

32. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State WR Syndey Rice is a long shot to stay healthy as is WR Percy Harvin, but if Harvin and Benjamin can stay on the field together ...

BEARS

Phil, it’s OK to be sensible Phil Emery is given to unremarkable sport coats and dress pants.

Underneath is a completely different story.

Boxer shorts with red hearts? No. Well, maybe. But certainly below the surface is a guy who has felt the need to make a splash, to do something unconventional or unexpected with his first-round picks. That perception is based on a very small sample size, his two drafts as the general manager of the Bears.

Thursday’s draft is the time for his inner wild child to give way to his outer church usher and do the prudent thing.

The Bears need a known-entity defensive tackle to help a unit that was awful last season.

They do not need another Shea McClellin or Kyle Long in the first round, which is to say they do not need Emery thinking so far outside the box he can’t get cellphone reception.

They need the best defensive tackle, one with whom people might have a passing acquaintance. Make it Pitt defensive tackle Aaron Donald, if at all possible. Try not to make it a safety, although the Bears very much need one. Safeties can be found anywhere in a draft. Picking one in the first round is often a waste, like buying household appliances with inheritance money. But why do I get the feeling that saying “Ha Ha Clinton-Dix” would bring a smile to Emery’s face every day the Alabama safety were a Bear?

Emery’s two first-round picks have been polar opposites. Long, who had four starts to his name as a college player, had an impact almost immediately at right guard last season.

He ended up making several all-rookie teams. When NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced Long as the 20th pick of the first round, eyebrows were raised all over the league. That didn’t last long.

But you couldn’t blame the doubters. The year before, they had watched Emery reach in the first round with McClellin, an undersized defensive end who would do nothing in his first two seasons in Chicago.

The Bears are moving him to linebacker for 2014. You might have seen the recent before-and-after photos from McClellin’s new workout re-

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Jadeveon Clowney just wants it to be over already.

The NFL’s first May draft gave everyone a little more time to critique the prospects and try to figure out who is going where and when.

No player has been more scrutinized than Clowney, the defensive end from South Carolina whose every move – on and off the field – has been analyzed since he ended his sophomore season with a helmet-removing hit against Michigan.

“I’ve been tired of it. I wish the draft was two or three weeks ago,” Clowney said Wednesday after playing flag football with grammar-school kids at the NFL’s Play 60 festival at a park on the west side of Manhattan.

The Houston Texans have the first pick and Clowney could be their guy. Or maybe they’ll take a quarterback, such as Johnny Manziel. Or maybe they’ll trade the pick.

The NFL has given fans two extra weeks to ponder these questions.

The draft usually is in April, but some scheduling conflicts at Radio City Music Hall caused the NFL to push it back. Commissioner Roger Goodell said that it’s too soon to say whether May drafts are here to stay.

This year’s draft finally gets underway Thursday night, Day 1 of the three-day, madefor-TV marathon.

Rounds 2 and 3 are Friday night. It concludes with four rounds Saturday, Jadeveon when there likely Clowney will be more intrigue than usual. Missouri linebacker Michael Sam, who made public that he is gay in February, is projected to be a possible late-round selection. The NFL never has had an openly gay player. Sam is trying to be the first, although he might have to get there as an undrafted free agent.

But first, the Texans are on the clock. Will they take Clowney?

“Man, I don’t know,” the 266-pound pass rusher said. “Do you know?”

Clowney ready to end the long wait

By RALPH D. RUSSO

Thursday, May 8, 2014 • Page C3

Clowney looked NFL-ready after a spectacular sophomore season, when he had 13 sacks and was Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year. NFL rules state otherwise. Players must be three years removed from high school to be draft eligible.

Clowney’s junior season fell short of crazy expectations. He had some injuries. Opponents gameplanned to neutralize him. His play was spotty and his work ethic was questioned after he suddenly went to his coach and pulled himself from a game.

“It’s been crazy, everybody telling when you’re going to go in the draft,” he said. “What your weakness is.

What your strength is. A lot of criticism against all the players. It’s just something you got to take on.”

Clowney took it on at the combine and his pro day workout at South Carolina. He wowed scouts with the speed and agility of a running back and placed himself firmly at the top of just about every mock draft.

Arkush:I’d like Bears to trade down • ARKUSH Continued from page C1 Alas, there are only a handful of GMs in NFL history to have long, successful careers.

Here is what Phil Emery and his peers can control on draft day.

Each team “stacks” their own draft boards and at the end of the day very few of the 32 look all that different. Take any one of the 32 teams’ list of the top 32 players in this draft and at least 28 or 29 of those lists are all going to have at least 28 of the same players listed in very similar order.

The player they choose is pretty much a matter of taste, and need.

The one thing that every one of the 32 teams strive to obtain is value.

If you’re picking 14th, you want one of the top 10 or 12 players on your board.

If you take the 27th best player at 14, more often than not you will fail.

Keep in mind also that picks Nos. 8 through 10 are the hardest, not necessarily the best. The wiggle room is a

lot tighter when you’re trying to nail the top three, five or eight talents than the top 14.

And most teams drafting in the top 10 are there because they’re bad, and they probably got there by being bad at drafting.

What are the Bears to do? I’d like to see them trade down to somewhere between Nos. 20 and 24, pick up an extra No. 1 next year or at least an extra couple second-round choices and still get a Calvin Pryor, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Ryan Shazier or Bradley Roby.

If they’re stuck at No. 14, Justin Gilbert, C.J. Mosley, Taylor Lewan and Eric Ebron all are top-10-to-12 talents, at least one of whom if not more should be available.

The Bears should take the best one.

You want this year’s sleeper/Kyle Long pick, try Troy Niklas from Notre Dame. He’s a home run or a strikeout, but if he goes out of the park, he’s a 500-footer to dead center.

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com Jimmie Ward has the chance to make Northern Illinois football history this weekend.

Ward is widely considered a second- or third-round pick by most experts heading into this week’s NFL draft, which begins today at 7 p.m. in New York.

Three of the four draft experts on NFL.com – Gil Brandt, Mike Mayock and Daniel Jeremiah – have Ward among the top 55 prospects in the draft.

Jeremiah has the Mobile, Ala., native at No. 43. Alabama’s Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Louisville’s Calvin Pryor are considered the top two safeties in the draft, but Ward is right in the mix to be the third safety selected.

Fiedorowicz vows NFL won’t change who he is • FIEDOROWICZ Continued from page C1 are in need of a dependable tight end. But he also knows the draft comes with uncertainty, leaving him to visualize what the moment will be like when his phone rings with the news he is about to be drafted.

“I get a smile on my face just thinking about it,” Fiedorowicz said. “When all my friends are around and I hear my name, it’s going to be – I don’t know – I can’t even explain it, really. I’ve dreamed about it ever since I was in sixth grade. Most kids probably don’t have those dreams, but I always knew I would be playing professional something.”

Until only a few weeks ago, Fiedorowicz hadn’t seen Johnsburg since November.

Between his Iowa career ending, earning top receiver honors at the Senior Bowl, participating in the NFL Scouting Combine, training in San Diego and making visits to six NFL teams in less than two weeks, Fiedorowicz lived in nonstop mode.

At times, maintaining such a busy schedule became a grind. The out-of-town flights grew old. As much as Fiedorowicz understood it was all part of the process, he also looked forward to spending the final stretch before the draft at home.

He slept in his own bed. He worked out at a local gym. He enjoyed his mom’s cooking.

But Fiedorowicz also made sure that he made visits to the schools he had grown up in.

“It’s always a good feeling seeing everyone I know and being around everyone who loves me and cares about me,” Fiedorowicz said. “I’m going to be friends with these people the rest of my life – that’s never going to change.”

During his school visits, Fiedorowicz reconnected with students he had coached

in Johnsburg’s Lil’ Dribblers basketball program. He posed for photos with former teachers, signed autographs and flipped through a yearbook that his sixth-grade teacher had discovered.

As he reached the page with his photo, a wide smile crossed Fiedorowicz’s face.

“There I am,” he said, looking at a picture that is now a decade old before scribbling his signature on the page with a black Sharpie.

Despite playing at Iowa and becoming a serious NFL prospect, there is part of Fiedorowicz that blushes at the fact that kids in his hometown consider him a hero. He made the junior high appearance after students wrote him letters, extending an invitation he didn’t want to pass up.

Those who grew up with Fiedorowicz, though, said humility always has been part of who he is.

“Everyone just likes to be around him,” Fiedorowicz’s best friend, Mike Dixon, said.

“He’s an individual who always puts a smile on your face – he’s just a really funny guy.”

Despite the change in lifestyle that will come once Fiedorowicz learns his NFL destination, Fiedorowicz vows he will stay the same. To Fiedorowicz and those back in his hometown, life will go on just as it has in the past.

His friends who grew up around Fiedorowicz, who spent four years playing varsity football but never made a big deal about it, would expect nothing less. Like he always has, Fiedorowicz will maintain his hometown mindset.

“He’ll always be the kid who remembers where he’s from and what brought him up to what he is today,” Vanderstappen said. “That’s what you want to see from any player in any sport. You want to see them be grateful where they’re from and not this cocky kid who makes it big and forgets everything.”

BLACKHAWKS NOTEBOOK

Leddy will have chance to get out of doghouse ‘Q’ wants more speed from the defenseman

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com Joel Quenneville sent a strong message to defenseman Nick Leddy in Game 3 against the Minnesota Wild, scratching him – in his hometown in front of family and friends – for the first time in more than three years.

And although Quenneville wouldn’t tip his hand – he has two days off to stew on the 4-0 loss before Friday’s Game 4 – he said Leddy likely will get another chance to get out of the doghouse.

“I still think he’ll be a big part of this series and success going forward,” Quenneville said. “We’re going to need him here and we want him to be a part of it.”

Leddy, who was buried at the end of the bench for the last three games of the Stanley Cup Final last spring, was replaced by Sheldon Brook-

When the Bears selected the 5-foot-7 running back in the third round in 2007, a lot of fans raised an eyebrow. Despite dominating the college ranks as an NIU senior in 2006, Wolfe didn’t have the build of an NFL running back.

Wolfe never got consistent carries with the Bears, although he was a solid special teams player, and spent four seasons in the NFL.

bank in the lineup. Before the game, Quenneville said he needed to see more speed out of Leddy. After the game, Quenneville said Brookbank simply “deserved” a chance to play after performing well during Brent Seabrook’s three-game suspension against St. Louis.

Quenneville again praised Brookbank on Wednesday.

“Going into that building, I thought Brooksie, physically, probably gives Nick Leddy us a little bit more,” he said. “We felt it was going to be a hard game. The St. Louis series was a tough, tough environment and he handled it well. He played important minutes and played against some top lines, as well. We were comfortable with the move and I thought he played pretty well.”

Speaking volumes: After taking an early penalty in Game 3, Niklas Hjalmarsson – medically not cleared to speak after taking a puck to the throat in Game 2 – slammed his stick to express his displeasure.

But his defense partner, Johnny Oduya, said he didn’t run into much difficulty communicating during the game.

“The better you know somebody, the easier it is,” Oduya said.

That said, Hjalmarsson’s not supposed to speak. It doesn’t mean he’s entirely incapable of it.

“I think I heard him yell a few times last night, so maybe that’s the energy of the game or the adrenaline that you get from playing,” Patrick Kane said.

Hjalmarsson’s seeming indestructibility continued to wow his teammates.

“Toughness is not always how hard you hit somebody – a lot of times it’s what you can take and go through, just being fearless,” Oduya said.

“That’s something I think he proves, and he does that every night.”

Shaw still questionable: Andrew Shaw, who suffered an apparent leg injury in Game 1 and hasn’t played since, still is questionable for Game 4.

“That’s to be determined,” Quenneville said. “He’s been OK. It’s tough to say right now.”

Oduya: ‘The urgency is there now’

C.J. Fiedorowicz and his mother, Lee, look at his junior high yearbook on Friday in Johnsburg.

Bears, third round, 93rd overall in 2007

The Hawks know they’re in a fight against a team that won’t go away.

“They’re better in every area,” defenseman Johnny Oduya said. “It’s not going to be the same series it was last year. I think everybody knows that.”

But the Hawks also know that they are the Blackhawks, a team that has responded to the urgency of the moment in winning Stanley Cups in 2010 and 2013. Nothing that has happened in this postseason

has disproven that.

“We haven’t played our best game in this series yet.

Hopefully, it’s coming sooner rather than later,” Kane said.

“But you see a stat – we’ve lost nine in a row [in] our first road game in a series. It’s not a fun stat.

“But it’s a tough league.

From one to eight in the playoffs, any team can be beaten – and we just came off a sixgame winning streak in the playoffs, which is pretty impressive in itself.”

As they know all too well now, the Hawks indeed have lost the first road game of a playoff series nine consecu-

tive times – and 10 times in 12 games since 2010. What they might not know is that they are 15-5 on the road after that first game. In other words, they get better. It’s just a matter of urgency.

“The urgency is there now,” Oduya said. “We’ve seen how [the Wild] can play and how they battled to win games. That’s something we have to have, too. It was a little bit of a wake-up call, but not really. We knew this is the way they play. We saw it [when] they outbattled Colorado a lot. We have to play better – that’s the bottom line.”

NEW YORK – The Pittsburgh Penguins have had so much success at Madison Square Garden, they might not have to make a return trip to Broadway until next season.

Brandon Sutter scored a short-handed goal to break a second-period tie, and the Penguins rode that momentum to move within one win of the Eastern Conference finals with a 4-2 victory over the New York Rangers on Wednesday night.

Pittsburgh, which has won three straight after a series-opening loss, can advance with a Game 5 victory at home Friday night. The Penguins are looking to reach the East finals for the second straight year and the fourth in seven seasons.

The Penguins turned a tied series into a 3-1 lead at the Garden, where they have won seven of nine and are 12-4 since Dan Bylsma became their coach. Overall, Pittsburgh is 19-5 against the Rangers in the playoffs and 9-2 in New York.

Westbrook, Durant lead Thunder The ASSOCIATED PRESS OKLAHOMA CITY – Russell Westbrook had a triple-double, MVP Kevin Durant fell one assist short and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Los Angeles Clippers, 112-101, on Wednesday night to tie their Western Conference semifinal series at one game apiece.

Westbrook had 31 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his third triple-double in his past five playoff games. Durant had 32 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists before leaving the game with 1:21 remaining.

According to information provided to the Thunder by the Elias Sports Bureau, no pair of teammates has had triple-doubles in the same playoff game.

Game 3 will be Friday in Los Angeles.

It was a stark contrast to Hibbert’s abysmal showing in Monday night’s loss.

Hibbert responded with the kind of game Indiana desperately needed.

PREP RECRUITING NOTES

PR’s Collins accepts offer from Ball St.

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Trinity Academy of Gymnastics coach Dennis Breit saw something special in Prairie Ridge senior Clare Collins that escaped college coaches.

To a point, it even escaped Collins herself.

There were just changes needed in the way she approached gymnastics.

“It was like teaching an old dog new tricks,” Breit said. “She was remarkable, but she didn’t have any self-confidence.”

So last summer, Breit and his staff set out to change that. At first, Collins was hesitant, but Breit assured her the long-term benefits would pay off.

They did last month when Collins received and accepted a full scholarship offer from NCAA Division I Ball State.

“I was at Target with my mom (Amy) getting makeup for prom when their coach called,” Collins said.

“Dennis advised me that if I loved it, I

should accept the scholarship offer.”

Collins told Cardinals coach Joanna Saleem “yes” right there in Target. When her acceptance to Ball State is finalized, Collins will receiver her national letter of intent to sign.

Ball State had seen Collins perform at the USA Gymnastics Level 10 Regional Meet. Until that point, Collins was headed to Southeast Missouri State in Cape Girardeau as a walk-on.

“They called Dennis within two days of the regional,” said Collins, who does not compete in high school gymnastics. “I drove there on a Tuesday and visited on Wednesday with my mom. Ball State was amazing. It was great that another school really liked me too. I can’t explain the feeling, it was awesome.”

Collins qualified for the USA Gymnastics Level 10 Eastern National Championships from Wednesday through Saturday in Jackson, Mississippi. Collins’ all-around score of 37.4 earned her a fifth-place medal and a

national qualification.

“She was pliable and open to changing things,” Breit said. “Any college coach would welcome that. That regional meet was a pressure meet for her. Ball State didn’t see everything she did at regionals, but they saw the end results.

We just had to get her to realize how good she is.”

Collins said many Clare Collins of the changes were psychological more than physical.

“Dennis’ whole approach is so positive,” Collins said. “It’s just about being there, that day, in that moment.

That really helped me because before it had always been about where I would be later. That really helped me to change all my skills.”

Glosson sparks Warriors’ rally

By JOE STEVENSON HUNTLEY – Jack Glosson had little reason to exude confidence in the top of the seventh inning.

The McHenry center fielder had not put a ball in play in three at-bats against Huntley ace Eric Luecht, striking out twice and walking once. The Warriors were down to their last strike with Glosson facing a 0-2 count.

Still, Glosson heard McHenry coach Brian Rockweiler’s encouragement from the third-base coaching box: “Confidence! Nobody better!”

“That gave me the will to do it,” Glosson said. “I wanted to do this for the team. This is how we play, we’ve come back and won so many games.

I wanted to keep that going.”

Glosson ripped the next pitch to the fence in right-center field to bring home the tying run and start a string of seven consecutive Warriors to reach base.

When they were done, reliever Robert Nagel had a comfortable lead with which to work

in the bottom of the inning as McHenry won, 8-5, in a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division baseball game Wednesday. “[Glosson] looked bad,” Rockweiler said. “Before that inning, I said to [assistant coach] Mike [Cohn], ‘How can he look so bad sometimes?’ He got to two strikes and he focused. We always tell them to just worry about putting the ball in play. He kind of forgot about all the things and went play-to-play instead of carrying something with him.”

Catcher Ryan Grannemann had singled to lead off the inning and Trevor Willemarck was brought in to courtesy run. Bobby Miller bunted Willemarck to second and pinch hitter Ryan Etzkorn grounded out. Glosson said Luecht threw to him in a good spot, away and offspeed.

“He was smart, that’s where I was struggling,” Glosson said. “I did well and kept my head down and it turned out well. After that we loosened up a little bit, everybody hit. This is what we came to do.”

Tribuzio met with a criminal justice professor and toured the campus and decided Lakeland was where she wanted to be for school and softball.

Gardner to Cleary: Richmond-Burton senior Ben Gardner will continue his running career at Cleary University, an NAIA school in Howell, Mich.

Cleary did not have intercollegiate athletics for a long time, but resurrected programs in 2011 with men’s and women’s cross country and golf teams.

Gardner helped R-B to third place in the Big Northern Conference last season with a 15th-place finish in the BNC Meet.

WHITE SOX

Putnam is pain-free, pen key

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com Zach Putnam knows about first impressions. He has mastered the bad and he is working on perfecting a good one right now. There seems to be no in between for the 26-year-old University of Michigan product.

“First impressions are everything, particularly with a new club,’’ said the White Sox right-hander, who has had a calming effect on the White Sox bullpen and has made it look easy since getting called up from AAA Charlotte on April 17 by posting a 1.35 ERA over seven relief appearances.

Before this Putnman had a way of making people say, “What’s with the new guy?”

As a September callup for the Cleveland Indians in 2011, the first batter he faced in his major league debut, Adrian Beltre, homered to left field. The second batter, David Murphy, doubled to deep left center. The third, Mike Napoli, singled to score Murphy.

WHITE SOX 8, CUBS 3

Sox pick up their fourth straight win

Welcome to the majors.

Putnam finished out the month, making eight appearances and posting a 6.14 ERA. After being traded to Colorado the next January, he spent almost the entire 2012 season in AAA. The Cubs signed him the next Christmas Day, and throwing three pitches and getting an out in a Crosstown Classic game against the Sox on May 30, he took the ball for one inning against the Diamondbacks two days later.

He took a beating, facing nine batters in one inning and giving up six hits.

Another bad first impression.

“I had a couple rough outings when I got called up,’’ Putnam said Tuesday, a day after pitching two perfect innings at Wrigley Field and getting the win in relief against the Cubs.

“After having a good spring and continuing at AAA and having some good momentum going right now, I’m just trying to not get too high or too low about anything.”

The difference for Putnam now is having had bone spurs removed from his elbow last August. He is pitching pain free for the first time in a long time, and his split-finger pitch has been nothing short of outstanding.

“The nice thing about it is when it’s not as sharp as I want it to be, it’s always going to be down, so I’m not going to get hurt on it,” he said.

“More than anything I’m throwing strikes. I don’t want to say it’s easy but it helps for a groundball guy like myself to have infielders like we have. Keep the ball down, let them do the work.

It makes throwing strikes less of a challenge -- you’re a little less gun shy.”

Putnam’s first outing with the Sox was, of all places, at Texas. But this one was better, with a run allowed on three hits and no walks over 21/3 innings. He has retired 19 of the past 20 batters he’s faced and feels rejuvenated, and his presence has brought life to a bullpen that was, in part because of injuries and in part because of walks,

dying during the first three weeks.

“Getting healthy and being able to throw with where my arm is at it’s nice to say I’ve been 100 percent healthy,’’ he said. “Then getting an opportunity and running with it.

“I’ve had rough outings when I’ve got called up. This year, I wondered if everything would come back to where it was stuff-wise and it’s been really good.’’

Going to the Sox after pitching for the Cubs gives Putnam that certain perspective on the rivalry. He liked being a Cub, but he likes being where he’s at – being healthy and getting people out – as a Sox. “Chicago is a great city,” said Putnam, who grew up near Ann Arbor. “I was happy there, I’m happy here.

It’s different on the north side of town with all the day games and kind of the party-in-the-stands atmosphere is different. But I’m happy with the White Sox, I’m thankful for the opportunity they’ve given me.”

When Jeff Samardzija looks back at his Cubs career after getting settled somewhere else – maybe as soon as August – days like Tuesday and Wednesday won’t be among his fondest memories.

The Cubs’ lame-duck ace didn’t call anyone out by name, but he made it clear he wasn’t happy with the front office for raising eyebrows over his career-high 126 pitches during a nine-inning gem Monday against the Sox. “No. Absolutely not,” he said when asked if he understood upper management’s potential concern, “because this is an onfield issue for uniformed per- Jeff sonnel. That’s Samardzija all there is to it.

I’m a grown man. I’m 29. I’m not a prospect or 22. I feel good, and I think I’m grown up enough and responsible enough to understand when I can go out and when I can’t go.

“I’ve earned my right in athletics to be able to understand my body and where I’m at.”

Whether he wants to scoff at the theoretical science of pitch counts and injury risk, Samardzija seemed at least to offer a glimpse into a relationship with the front office that has led to the guy with the second-best ERA in baseball heading to the trading block after long-dead extension talks that have gone nowhere in nearly two years.

Not that there are bad feelings or ill will between Samardzija and the Theo Epstein-Jed Hoyer front office.

“I just think the light’s [being shined] in the wrong direction.”

CHICAGO – Paul Konerko is a spot starter and pinch hitter in his 18th and final major league season, and he is determined to succeed in his new role.

He looked very comfortable Wednesday night.

Konerko had a big threerun double and Gordon Beckham homered for the second straight game, leading the White Sox to an 8-3 victory over the sliding Cubs.

“It’s a good attack. I mean we feel like one through nine we can score runs at any moment,” Konerko said.

Jose Abreu collected three more hits as the Sox roughed up Travis Wood on their way to their fourth straight win, extending their season-best streak.

The rookie slugger doubled twice to run his major league-best total to 24 extra-base hits.

The Sox also got a nice game from shortstop Alexei Ramirez, who singled in a run in the first and made a great over-the-shoulder catch to rob Welington Castillo of a hit in the ninth.

Ramirez then threw to first to double off Starlin Castro for the second out.

“Just an awesome play,” said Beckham, who was standing near second when Ramirez grabbed the ball in short center field. “Just fun to watch.”

The last-place Cubs dropped their fourth consecutive game. Frustrated rookie manager Rick Renteria was ejected for arguing with home plate umpire Tom Woodring after he pulled Wood (2-4) with no outs in the fifth.

What makes spring turkey hunting season so popular?

Spring turkey season is getting to be almost as anticipated as the fall’s deer hunting opening weekend. But what is it that makes turkey hunting so popular? It’s hard to put into words, but my friend Mike Miller, from Lake in the Hills, described it perfectly.

Mike explained that he and two hunting buddies recently headed out of town to their normal turkey haunt. They arrived Thursday evening and got their gear set up for a Friday morning hunt.

For the past few years, they’d been setting up on a secluded field that can’t be seen from the road.

Last year, Miller’s group found it to be pretty overgrown. The farmer and the landowner told Miller that animals were eating so much of that field that they decided to plant some trees and let the land return to a natural state. When Miller walked out to check the property, he found it completely overgrown with horseweed and not huntable at all.

“Most years the birds roost on the back side of that field on the neighbor’s property, so I figured I’d walk around and set up on the far back corner of our property,” Miller said. “It made for a very long, hard walk but it was about my only option if I wanted to hunt that area. I set up in a deadfall in between two spots where trees had knocked down the fence that ran along the property line. I only had about 30 or 40 feet out to the field to set up any decoys, but I was set up on a corner of the field where I had always seen a lot of action.”

On the morning of the hunt, Miller had his decoys out and settled in at about 5:15. Mike immediately began to hear birds start gobbling. It started with calls a minute or two apart.

“It quickly became a big-time shouting match between a whole bunch of birds,” Miller said.

“There had to be 10 to 15 birds within 100 yards of me. And when one gobbled, they all gobbled.

I’ve hunted this farm for the last 10 years and have never had this many birds making this much noise. I started yelping with my box call and everything just started busting loose. The hens would yelp, I’d yelp and the Toms would all gobble – this went on for maybe half an hour. Nothing would answer my slate calls, but every time I hit that box call, I got a reaction.”

Just before 7 a.m., Miller had a small hen yelping right in back of him. He turned around and looked out the back side of his blind. He kept up some quick, quiet calls and she moved around his blind, yelping softly. In addition to the hen, three gobblers kept gobbling, but

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley they were out of Mike’s sight.

The hen finally wandered away but the three gobblers kept nearby.

Miller thought he saw the birds once or twice, but it had rained the previous evening and the woods were misty, making visibility difficult. The turkeys sounded like they were getting closer, so Miller put his shotgun at the ready.

He began to work his mouth call and found the birds to be vocally responsive. Miller thought the two on his left were coming in when he was surprised to hear the one on his right gobble just on the other side of the deadfall he was hiding behind. It was a very loud gobble.

The bird was close.

“Just then, he jumped over the logs and was walking on my right side not 20 feet from me,” Miller said. “I was all turned around, so I had to just freeze until he turned away or went to my decoys. He kind of looked at me, and then the decoys, and just didn’t like something. He took a few steps toward the draw and was facing away from me, so I turned around and got on my knee with the gun pointed at him. When I put the bead on him, I could see that he was standing directly under my trail cam. He took about three or four steps back toward the trail he came in on and stretched his head up. Boom! I let him have it.”

Miller was packing up and heard one of his partners shoot.

His partner had bagged a bird and had seen at least 15 in all. His other partner saw birds but didn’t get a shot off, but got his bird at the crack of dawn the next morning.

“So, for the first time, we all tagged out early and just enjoyed a day of camping along the Mississippi River. I was worried with the cold and snowy winter we had that the bird population would have been hurt, but we saw, heard, and shot more birds this year than ever.”

FISHING REPORTS Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “With the warm weather and the full moon on May 14, the next two weeks should be some of the best bass fishing we have had. The fishing at Three Oaks Recreation area in Crystal Lake is starting to turn on. I like using stick baits like a Rapala Husky Jerk, jigging with the Defender jig and drop shotting a Roboworm for bass and pike. I

have had good reports from Lake Geneva, except for the windy days, on both largemouth and smallmouth bass being caught on stick baits, like suspending Rogues, Defender football jigs and Chompers or Roboworms on drop shot rigs.

The Fox River at the dams has had good white bass and catfish action.

I like cut bait for the catfish and minnows for the white bass. “Call 815-455-2040 for an updated report.

As of May 6, the Upper and Lower Fox River and the Fox Chain all were deemed to be open for boating by the Fox Waterway Agency. For up-to-the-minute water conditions on the Fox Chain and Fox River, go to.foxwaterway.state.il.us/ or call 847-587-8540.

Lake Michigan: Captain Bob Rossa of Migrator Charters: “The spring coho salmon season on Lake Michigan has started in a huge way. Limits are being taken about every trip. Orange OO dodgers with small flies tied to the hook 16 inches behind it have been the best baits. Purple, green, gold flies have also been one of the best baits. The best depth to fish is 15 to 40 feet of water. Keep your baits in the top 10 feet of the water column. An occasional king, brown trout, lake trout, or rainbow trout will add to the catch, but most of the fish will be Cohoes. Make sure your boat has all the safety equipment required by the USCG, and check the weather before going out. Contact Captain Bob at www.ALakeMichiganCharter.com.

Wisconsin’s inland game fishing season opened Friday. You can call Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan Fishing Hotline at 414-382-7920 to hear the latest fishing information for Lake Michigan and its tributaries.

NOTE Tournament: The 19th annual Fox River Valley Chapter of Muskies, Inc.’s Challunge on the Chain tournament is just around the corner – May 17. It is the oldest and largest muskie tourney in Illinois.

Find advance registration information at www.frvmuskies.com or register on the day of the event from 5 to 6:30 a.m. at Musky Tails (the old Mentone’s) on Channel Lake next to the channel going into Lake Marie. The fishing starts at 7 a.m. and concludes at 4 p.m. Posttournament festivities, including dinner, cash bar, awards presentations and huge raffle, will be at the Antioch VFW located at 75 North Avenue in Antioch.

Sleeve tattoo could raise eyebrows at black-tie event Dear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a young professional female with a military background. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m well-educated and have a great job. However, I also am tattooed. The design is a tasteful full sleeve, with some work on my chest and other arm.

I will be attending a blacktie affair for my boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company and am wondering what attire would be appropriate for such an event. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not ashamed of my art, and I have no issue with baring my arms, but would this be acceptable in this circumstance? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Forever Covered

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Forever Covered: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad you asked, because it depends on what kind of company your boyfriend works for. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative, then to display your body art would not be shocking. However, if the company culture is conservative, it might attract unwelcome attention, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend it.

Dear Abby: I have been intimately involved with a

woman, and our relationship has been great for the past eight months. There is an immense amount of love and caring for each other.

Although we have been together, we currently do not live together.

My problem is sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still living with her ex-husband.

They have been separated for 12 years, but circumstances have brought them back into the same residence.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an issue with their â&#x20AC;&#x153;roommateâ&#x20AC;? situation. I have been to their home, have stayed the night and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m OK with their arrangement.

What I do take issue with is him introducing himself as her husband. Since I heard him do that, I have been in an uncomfortable state. Am I wrong for feeling this way, or is she wrong for allowing it to happen? â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

Seething In Sacramento Dear Seething: Whether this couple has been separated for 12 years or not, they still are legally married. He is her husband.

You might be feeling uncomfortable because you feel as if you might be involved in a triangle, and from where I sit, it might be true. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time

to have a frank conversation with your partner to clarify exactly what your role is.

Dear Abby: I have been trying to plan my son and future daughter-in-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rehearsal dinner. The bride originally told me a local pizza place would be fine for the dinner. I insisted I would like something â&#x20AC;&#x153;nicer,â&#x20AC;? and she said it was up to me.

I have found a place within budget, but have just learned the bridal shower is being catered by the same place. Is it acceptable for me to have the rehearsal at the same place?

We live in a town with

relatively limited options, and there are other important festivities going on that day that limit my options further. Holding the rehearsal dinner at my house would be too stressful.

Would it be OK to have it at the same restaurant, but serve different food? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fu-

ture Mother-In-Law Dear Future Mother-In-Law: Absolutely! And congratulations on the forthcoming happy event. â&#x20AC;˘ Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Sufferers of Tourette syndrome need our support ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff drome?â&#x20AC;?

He jammed on the brakes, pulled the car to the side of the road and turned his head to look back at me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where were you when I needed you?â&#x20AC;?

He then told me as a child he had been placed in institutions for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;insaneâ&#x20AC;? because of his condition. It had taken him 20 years, and multiple doctors, before the diagnosis was made â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and before he was told he was not crazy, after all.

Tourette syndrome is a disorder of the nervous system that often begins in childhood.

The major symptom is tics: sudden, brief, involuntary or semi-voluntary movements (motor tics) or sounds (vocal tics). For example, a child might blink his eyes, shrug

his shoulders or grunt, bark, repeat words (sometimes foul words) or, like the cab driver, repeatedly clear his throat.

Tics usually begin around age 7. Motor tics usually come on first; vocal tics start later.

Understandably, children with TS often have feelings of embarrassment, low self-esteem and self-criticism.

Traditional psychotherapy and a different type of â&#x20AC;&#x153;talk therapy,â&#x20AC;? called cognitive behavioral therapy, can be effective. One technique is called habit-reversal training. The therapist teaches the person to use a specific muscle movement or behavior to compete with the tic. Other techniques are positive reinforcement, relaxation training and selfmonitoring.

Various medications can help reduce (if not eliminate) the unusual symptoms. Doctors generally first prescribe drugs with fewer side effects.

Examples include a blood pressure-lowering drug, an anti-anxiety drug and an antiseizure medication. If these drugs are not effective enough, antipsychotic drugs (even though TS is not a psychosis) might help, but might have more side effects.

Researchers are testing a treatment known as deep brain stimulation for severe cases that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond to other treatments. DBS involves surgery to place small electrodes into brain areas thought to be involved in generating TS tics.

You can help your grandson by offering your unconditional love and support. Reassure him tics often decrease in severity through the teen years.

They might even disappear by his early 20s.

Dear Dr. K: My grandson recently was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome. Could you explain what this is? What can I do to help him?

Dear Reader: Twenty years ago, I got into a cab at the hospital, heading for the airport.

The driver was a man in his 30s who liked to talk. About every 30 seconds as he talked, he would clear his throat. It was not a gentle sound â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you could have heard it several hundred yards away. Also, every few minutes his head would suddenly jerk to the right side.

He asked me what I did, and I told him I was a doctor.

He asked what kind of doctor, and I said I practiced internal medicine. He asked what that meant, and I replied I took care of adults, made diagnoses and prescribed treatments, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do surgery.

He asked: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like what kind of diagnoses?â&#x20AC;? I replied: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like, do you have Tourette syn-

POLICE ARREST SUSPECT IN McCREERY ROBBERY

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, May 8, 2014 • Section C • Page 10

RALEIGH, N.C. – Authorities have arrested a suspect in the home invasion robbery of country singer Scotty McCreery and his friends. Mikkail Jamal Shaw, 19, has been charged with armed robbery and conspiracy after he turned himself in Tuesday night, police spokesman Jim Sughrue said in a statement. Police also were looking for other suspects, Sughrue said.

Officers were called to an apartment about a mile from North Carolina State University, where McCreery is a sophomore, around 2 a.m. Monday. McCreery was visiting the apartment when three armed men broke in.

BUZZWORTHY it had agreed to pay unspecified “substantial damages” and legal costs to Rowling, who will donate the money to charity.

Miley Cyrus plays London after canceled tour dates

Drag queen takes on Eurovision COPENHAGEN, Denmark – When Austria’s entry takes the stage Thursday at the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen, the spotlight will slowly reveal a lone figure with wide sensual eyes, glossy painted lips, high cheekbones – and a man’s full dark beard.

Conchita Wurst – the alter ego of 25-year-old Austrian Thomas Neuwirth – already has shocked audiences by challenging stereotypes of masculine and feminine beauty with the song “Rise like a Phoenix.”

Pushing the boundaries of gender identity is nothing new at Europe’s annual song contest – an extravaganza known for its eclectic, sometimes-unlistenable lineup of techno beats, love songs and pop tunes. But the backlash this year against Wurst highlights a rift between Europe’s progressive liberal side and the traditional values, and nationalist rhetoric of Russia and other nations taking part.

Amid growing tensions over the Ukraine crisis, some in eastern Europe have blasted Wurst as an example of the West’s decadence. Activists in Belarus have even urged the country’s state television network to edit the Austrian entry out of its Eurovision broadcast.

Russian legislator Vitaly Milonov accused the Austrian performer of “blatant propaganda of homosexuality and spiritual decay.”

“I can only say ‘Thank you for your attention!’ If this is only about me and my person, I can live with it,’ ” Wurst said about her critics in emails Wednesday with The Associated Press.

LONDON – Saying she’s back on top form, Miley Cyrus resumed her Bangerz tour in London after a series of canceled shows.

The 21-year-old pop star delayed her U.S. dates until August after treatment for a sinus infection went awry and last week postponed two European shows. Cyrus said she suffered a severe allergic reaction to antibiotics.

But she told reporters she was “the poster child for good health” before performing at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday.

“I’ve been laying down for three weeks. I’m gonna go off – I’m like a star waiting to explode,” she said.

The former child star, who has garnered mixed reviews for her risque adult image, gave an energetic performance complete with crotch-grabbing, erotically tinged choreography and a ride on a giant hot dog.

Songs ranged from Cyrus’ hits “We Can’t Stop” and “Wrecking Ball” to covers of Bob Dylan’s “When You Go” and Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.”

UK tabloid apologizes, pays damages to author J.K. Rowling LONDON – A British tabloid has apologized and paid damages to “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling over an article about her time as a single mother.

Rowling brought a libel case against the Daily Mail after it alleged in an article in September that she told a false “sob story” on how people at her church stigmatized and taunted her for being a single mother on welfare. The newspaper report was based on an essay Rowling wrote for a charity describing her experiences some 20 years ago.

The paper printed an apology Wednesday stating that Rowling in fact did not make any false claims. The paper said

Judge Joe Brown to face incumbent in DA race MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Former TV judge Joe Brown could become the top prosecutor in Tennessee’s largest county if the voters elect him over the incumbent in August.

Brown, a Democrat, and incumbent Amy Weirich, a Republican, ran unopposed in primary elections Tuesday.

The 66-year-old Brown was a criminal court judge in Memphis before stepping down to dedicate himself to the TV show. The show is no longer on the air.

He was arrested and briefly jailed in March after a Shelby County Juvenile Court magistrate found him in contempt of court during a contentious hearing. He is appealing the charges.

Lions Gate to develop Power Rangers movie LOS ANGELES – Hollywood is taking another stab at bringing the Power Rangers to the big screen, two decades after the last movie flopped at the box office.

Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. said it’s partnering with Haim Saban’s Saban Entertainment to produce a live-action feature film based on the spandex-wearing, martial arts superheroes who are usually called upon to save the world.

Saban said in a statement Wednesday that Lions Gate, the maker of young adult blockbuster series “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games,” is the “perfect home” for the Power Rangers.

The last time the morphing teenage characters appeared in a movie was 1997 for “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie,” which grossed a dismal $8.1 million in the U.S. The Power Rangers have been on U.S. television since 1993.

Program lends hand to buyers needing fresh start Jerry Kuyper One of the Federal Housing Authority programs for potential house buyers is called “Back to Work.” It is aimed at people who once owned a housing property but lost it through a bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale.

Apparently there are quite a few of these people around and it is a market to be tapped by real estate agents, mortgage lenders, builders and new housing subdivision developers.

“Absolutely. There is a definite market, but the problem is making people aware of

it,” said loan officer Charles Mathison of Great Lakes Home Mortgage in Libertyville.

Mathison, who lives in Spring Grove, has been visiting area real estate offices, builders and subdivision developers to advertise the program.

Mathison explained the parameters of the program, which gives financially bruised families an opportunity to qualify for an FHA mortgage in as little as 12 months after a bankruptcy, short sale, or foreclosure.

The following has to be documented: • A potential house buyer suffered at least a 20 percent reduction in income due to an extenuating economic circumstance beyond his or her control (loss of job, reduction

of hours or demotion, reduction of commission or selfemployment income in a tough economy).

• Reduction of income must have occurred for at least a sixmonth period.

• The reduction of income must have caused bankruptcy, foreclosure or a short sale.

• A satisfactory credit history must be restored for at least 12 months after the Incident.

If families meet the guidelines above, they also would need a 620 credit score and 3.5 percent down, Mathison said.

“This federal government program, which began Aug. 15, Photo provided 2013, will be available through A new house that can be bought under the federal government’s Back to Work financial program is a Sept. 30, 2016,” Mathison said. two-story with 1,995 square feet of living space, a three-car garage, three to four bedrooms, 2.5 baths He added a caveat.

Back to Work program can help with new homes

Photo provided

The Robin and Roosevelt floor plans are offered at four Gerstad Builders communities in McHenry, Poplar Grove, Richmond and Williams Bay, Wisconsin. Priced from $218,990, they might fit into a relatively new FHA program aimed at those who lost a house due to foreclosure, short sale or bankruptcy.

• PROGRAM Continued from page E1 “The 620 credit score is not a requirement of the FHA program, but I have not encountered any lender who will go below that figure, not even the most lenient of lenders,” Mathison said.

Mathison said his office has helped several clients.

“My office has prequalified a couple of people, and one of our loan officers did close on a contract,” Mathison said. “There are a lot of people out there who can use this FHA loophole to their advantage, especially those with a short sale in their mortgage background. They are the ones who have suffered the most.”

The program does not apply to individuals who quit their job, suffered a divorce or stopped receiving child support, as those situations are considered “within their control.”

The program, which has been in existence almost a year, remains somewhat unpublicized.

Casey Meyers, managing broker for Berkshire Hathaway Starck in Woodstock, said she was unaware of any personnel with her office using the program to make a sale.

Although the program is most appealing to buyers of existing houses, it also can be attractive to a certain type of new house developer, but not all of them. There are subdivision developers with highend products who have little or no use for the program.

“People buying more expensive housing usually do not have bankruptcy,

foreclosure or short sale issues,” a spokesman for a higher-end housing subdivision in McHenry County said.

“These people, as a rule, do not have trouble with financing a new higher-priced home.”

That spokesman indicated that pricing at his higher-end subdivision started around $400,000 and that was for a semi-custom house. Custom houses can cost more.

A subdivision developer that could use the program is Roger Gerstad, president of Gerstad Builders, McHenry.

Gerstad prices range from $150,000 to $400,000.

“Our average sales price in 2013 was right around $275,000, and that included the new house and lot,” Gerstad said. “It will remain in that ballpark in 2014.”

Gerstad’s four subdivisions are Liberty Trails in McHenry, The Trails of Pheasant Ridge in Richmond, Dawson Creek in Poplar Grove and Bailey Estates in Williams Bay, Wisconsin.

Recognizing that families lost homes during the recession that began in 2008-09, Gerstad had been searching for a program that people could use to restart their lives.

Gerstad has four active subdivisions in or near McHenry County. He discovered the Back to Work program, and he and Mathison soon got together.

He said his company has the ideal product for those who lost houses due to job layoffs, downsizing or significantly reduced work hours.

“If you think you might meet the FHA guidelines, call us or drop by one of our nearby communities and talk with

our salespeople,” Gerstad said. “This will give us an opportunity to get more details, assist in collecting the necessary documentation and setting up an appointment with a financial adviser.”

The new semi-custom homes stick-built by this second-generation builder typically feature vaulted ceilings (per plan), three to five bedrooms, two to three bathrooms, a living room, a formal dining room, a family room, a kitchen, a breakfast area and an attached two-car garage.

Options include skylights, three-car garages, woodburning fireplaces, additional volume ceilings, custom millwork, imported ceramic tile, Corian, quartz or granite countertops, hardwood flooring, full basements and English or walkout basements.

“If the past six or seven years have been tough on you but you now are able to successfully secure financing through the FHA’s ‘Back To Work’ program, we are eager to build a new ranch or two-story for you and help get your life back on track,” Gerstad said.

The Liberty Trails community offers 1,382- to 3,177-square-foot ranch and two-story homes from $198,990 to $308,490. The sales center is on Lincoln Road, about a mile west of Chapel Hill Road and north of Route 120.

For information, call 815385-4495.

The Trails of Dawson Creek subdivision offers seven ranch plans with 1,382 to 2,170 square feet of living space (priced from $164,990 to $220,990) and six, two-story plans offering 1,980 to 2,929 square feet of living space

This is an example of a house that might not fit into the Federal Housing Authority’s “Back to Work” program. The house is valued at $450,000 or more. (priced from $199,990 to $248,990). The Trails of Dawson Creek is on the north side of Orth Road near Route 76.

For information, call 815547-0800.

The Trails of Pheasant Ridge offers 14 plans with partial basements. The houses range from 1,382 to 2,929 square feet of living space.

Prices range from $165,990 to

$260,990.

For information, call 815-385-4495 or visit www. gerstadbuilders.com.

The sales center for Bailey Estates is in Williams Bay, close to Route 67. There are 13 floor plans providing 1,782 to 3,177 square feet of living space. Prices range from $228,490 to $307,990.

For information, call 262-

903-5555.

Mathison is hopeful that the word will get out.

“Since I live in Spring Grove, I do a lot of business in McHenry and Lake counties, as well as southern Wisconsin. I get a lot of referrals from former clients, too. I think the word is getting out.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Rupert Murdoch said, “The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.”

Not necessarily at the bridge table, though. Sometimes, for example, drawing trumps early will lose a contract. And, of course, occasionally not drawing trumps soon enough can be fatal.

Which applies in this deal?

South is in four spades, and West leads the heart king.

Note North’s four-spade rebid. It promises at least four-card support and denies a irst- or second-round control.

South is implying that he has (at least) nine winners when he opens two clubs and rebids two spades. North hopes that his trumps will provide a 10th trick. (Yes, South’s hand is a minimum. Some experts would rebid two no-trump to limit the hand. But that would not work well here, because North would surely pass, and the contract would fail.)

Given that the trumps are 3-1, South has ive losers: one spade, one heart, one diamond and two clubs. The black-suit losers are unavoidable, so declarer must ruff his low red-

suit cards in the dummy.

The right play is to win the irst trick, to cash exactly one top trump, then to play off the three top diamonds, discarding dummy’s remaining heart.

Next, South ruffs the heart seven in the dummy, returns to his hand with a trump, and ruffs his diamond ive -- mission accomplished.

Note that if declarer begins with both of his top trumps, he will be stranded in the dummy after the irst ruff.

West can get in with his club ace and draw dummy’s last trump, leaving South with a fourth loser.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

" "

TODAY - It has never been more important to get everything in writing. Many good opportunities have been lost through a lack of communication. Document everything carefully. Keep confusion at bay and be crystal clear when conveying your needs and expectations in order to get good results.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can find a number of useful and unique items at a flea market or online.

Research the qualifications you would need to follow a path that interests you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Explore the motives of someone trying to get your personal information.

Don’t reveal too much. You could be inviting trouble if you are too trusting of a casual acquaintance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can earn a little cash by de-cluttering your home. Someone in need will appreciate the items you no longer use. If you employ your newfound gain for a good purpose, it’ll enhance your mood.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- New avenues are opening up for you. Be proud of your achievements and share your dreams. Attending cultural events will lead to a special introduction to an influential party.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be open to practical advice offered by a recent acquaintance. Take a good look at what you have and still want to achieve. Make a to-do list and start the process.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Follow your desires today. New places and people will stimulate you intellectually. Take a step outside your personal situation in order to help clear your vision. Do what’s best for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You will be at your best today, bringing added respect and greater opportunities. Your talents will be put to good use as you assume a position of leadership in your community.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t be limited by the expectations of others. Do something out of the ordinary. Making minor improvements around the home will help boost your confidence and ease your stress.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A financial upturn is just around the corner. Invest time in your ideas and plans for the future. A social engagement will bring you closer to someone you respect.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Look over your budget. Financial woes can develop if you are indulgent.

Invest more time in your skills to find a way to earn more money.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your heightened emotional state will lead to personal difficulties. Keep your wits about you when dealing with domestic and family matters. Self-improvement projects will help ground you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your hobbies will prove to be an important clue to your destiny. Explore careers that provide the intellectual and creative stimulation you need and that require the skills you have to offer.

COOKING FOR MOM One of the nicest things you can do for Mom on Mother’s Day is cook for her. How about a comforting, traditional rice pudding? Or maybe not so traditional, as the Forbidden Rice Pudding at PlanitNorthwest.com uses a black rice with slightly chewy grains, a deep purple color and a slightly nutty taste. Find more Mother’s Day recipes online, such as a Napoleon dessert and a tart that’s part quiche, part lasagna.

New projector breathes life into iconic theater

After several failed attempts to fundraise for a digital projector, the theater won a projector through a Honda initiative, in which fans of the theater voted online. Without the new projector, the theater likely would not have opened this season. BELOW: Spectators wait for the showing of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” on opening night.

A

trip to the McHenry Outdoor Theater isn’t just about the movie.

It’s tossing a ball around, watching the sun go down as the screen lights up. It’s a starry-sky backdrop, friends, family, jammies and blankets. It’s bags of popcorn and sleepy eyes as the credits roll.

It’s a memory.

Drive-in speakers play music before the start of movies at the theater.

“They’re mostly there for nostalgic purposes. Even the ones that work have a tinny, old sound. But some people like that,” theater owner Scott Dehn said.

“One of my earliest memories is going to this theater with my parents and my sister and grandmother,” said Scott Dehn, who became the theater’s owner in 2012. “I just want to be part of being able to keep that alive for future children to experience. I think it’d be a shame if they missed out on that. It’s a cool job. I love that I’m a part of that.”

The season’s opening night this past weekend – drawing generations of families and fans who anticipate the outing annually – almost didn’t happen.

Because of the movie industry’s ongoing switch from

35 mm film to digital – a format cheaper for studios and distributors – home-grown drive-in theaters, similar to the one at 1510 N. Chapel Hill Road in McHenry and others across the country, have faced a dwindling selection of movies produced in the old format.

Many have scrambled to find the money needed to switch to digital projectors or simply have closed, with only about five or six drive-in theaters remaining in Illinois.

A CRUDE, LEWD DUDE FEUD

By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post Seth Rogen and Zac Efron make for amusing alter-egos in “Neighbors,” a shaggy, baggy collegiate comedy that is less a coherent movie than a loosely assembled series of lewd jokes and punishing slapstick routines.

Unfortunately, one of the funniest sequences – involving a prank with purloined air bags – already has been overworked to death in “Neighbors” trailers, which also have tipped the film’s hand as to its edge-dwelling sense of humor.

Viewers who find unbridled hilarity in the idea of babies eating condoms, men dueling with sex toys and 30-something yuppies keepin’ it trill by using words such as “trill” will find much to value in “Neighbors,” as long as they don’t get lost in such little details as credibility or lost opportunities.

It seems like just last year that Rogen was cinema’s reigning arrested adolescent, cavorting with pals James Franco and Jonah Hill in “This Is the End.” In “Neighbors,” Rogen is (almost) all grown up as Mac Radner, who with wife Kelly (Rose Byrne) is raising the world’s most awesome baby in a cozy collegetown bungalow.

When the house next door is sold to a fraternity, the Radners at first try to make nice with the group’s president, a bronzed, charming cock of the walk named Teddy (Efron), who immedi-

“Neighbors” STARRING: Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron PLOT: A couple with a newborn baby face unexpected difficulties after they are forced to live next to a fraternity house RATED: Rated R for pervasive language, strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, and drug use throughout RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 36 minutes ately invites them in for beer and magic mushrooms.

It’s all rainbows and unicorns, of course, until the frat’s next rager, which leads the Radners to call the police. What ensues is a picket-fence feud of escalating traps and dirty tricks, each more vulgar and explosively violent than the last.

Directed with characteristic haphazard style by Nicholas Stoller (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “Get Him to the Greek,” “The Five-Year Engagement”), “Neighbors” isn’t designed to impress with subtle comedy or clever construction. Rather, it’s a movie of whammies: one-liners, shticks and sight gags that don’t gain in momentum or accrue in meaning. They just happen, quickly, then get out of the way to make room for the next ones.

Although Byrne has some promising moments as a bored stay-at-home mom, and Lisa Kudrow shows up in a

weirdly unfunny cameo as an uptight college dean, “Neighbors” is primarily a bromance: between Teddy and his best friend, Pete (Dave Franco), a bespectacled brain whose love for his Adonislike leader is clearly much deeper than fraternal, and between Mac and Teddy.

Rogen and Efron both prove to be excellent sports when “Neighbors” exploits their dramatically different physiques, first during an amusing dance-off and in an improbably rewarding payoff at the end. (As for Mac and Kelly’s preternaturally cute baby, Stella, she is adorably and expressively played by twins Elise and Zoey Vargas.)

Until then, however, viewers must slog through all manner of crude, coarse, often lazily choreographed bits that feel rote and barely warmed-over, from a graphic anatomical stunt performed by the actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse to a dumb scene involving Robert DeNiro impressions. (If the part where Rogen and Efron engage in a “Batman” voice competition seems familiar, it’s because Steven Coogan and Rob Brydon did it first and better with Michael Caine impressions in “The Trip.”)

Still, “Neighbors” will no doubt reward audiences who demand little more than a few broad, easy laughs to be entertained, which, after all, describes most filmgoers these days.

To quote Mac and Kelly in their best undergraduate patois: I’m not judgin’, I’m just sayin’.

Animals rejuvenate Santa’s Village park

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com It might not be the same park it was 55 years ago, but the nostalgic feel of Santa’s Village – now Santa’s Village Azoosment Park – remains.

Having reopened and rejuvenated the park in 2011, after it sat dormant for roughly six years, the park’s owner, Jason Sierpien, has worked to gain momentum ever since.

This year marks 55 years since the park opened in 1959 in East Dundee as Santa’s year-round home. At the time, it was the third in a chain of villages built

by H. Glenn Holland. With two villages in California, the Dundee village was the largest and most prominent.

With much of the original amusement park remaining, including the North Pole, the original Santa’s Tree House Slide, Santa’s Village Fire Truck and the antique Country Carousel, more rides have been added and an emphasis has been put on animals.

“When the park opened in 1959, there was only three different rides and some goats and a few animals,” said Sierpien, who owns the park with his wife, Amy. The couple also own A Zoo To You, a Marengo-based business that brings petting zoos, exotic animal shows and pony

rides to events.

The park will become home to 500 animals this year, including more exotic animals that will walk around with handlers, allowing visitors to ask questions and gain a more hands-on experience with the animals, Sierpien said.

Along with adding multiple animal exhibits as well as live entertainment from bands, dancers and more, Sierpien said, “We’re really trying to get the ride numbers up. This year, we’ll have 18 or 19 rides.”

New rides will be more family

SANTA’S VILLAGE AZOOSMENT PARK WHEN: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mother’s Day, May 11, for opening day.

WHERE: 601 Dundee Ave., East Dundee.

COST & INFO: Mothers admitted free when accompanied by one full paid admission on Mother’s Day. Admission costs $19.75 a person, $16.75 for those 65 and older.

Children 2 and younger admitted free. More information can be found at www.santasvillagedundee.com.

focused as opposed to kiddie rides, in which only children can ride, he said.

Geared toward children ages 2 to 12, the park opens for the season May 11 on Mother’s Day and, continuing with a long-held tradition, will admit mothers free when accompanied by one full paid admission.

In celebration of 55 years, the first 255 guests on Memorial Day (May 26) will be given 55-cent admission.

Both memories and curiosity attract many to the park, which features the three themed areas of Santa’s Village, Old MacDonald’s Farm & Petting Zoo and the Country Grove.

“I get emails about the nostalgia: ‘Oh, I was there as a kid and now I can bring my kids and grandkids and great grandkids.’ So many generations are still able to enjoy the park,” Sierpien said.

“It’s a little bit different than it was, but it’s kind of the same idea,” he said.

“It’s more the animals we’re really trying to build upon, that are taking the forefront of the entertainment.”

• THEATER

Continued from page 11 Facing a failed $130,000 fundraising campaign, Dehn’s theater was saved at the last minute last season by an online voting campaign hosted by Project Drive-in, Honda’s attempt to help preserve what it calls an “iconic part of American car culture.” The theater was one of the contest’s five winners, earning the digital projector Dehn had sought since taking over the business.

That new projector lit up the screen this past weekend.

“I’m not an emotional guy, but when we played this thing to test it out, I had tears in my eyes,” Dehn said. “I never thought I’d see anything so bright on that screen. It’s the difference from going from VHS to Bluray on a big screen.”

Along with the new projector, the theater had raised about $5,000, which is being used for improvements, such as painting, a new marquee, plumbing and other internal work, Dehn said.

“I would say every time a customer comes to visit us this year, they’re going to see an improvement, little or big,” he said.

The season will bring favorites such as the “throwback” weekends featuring movies from the 1980s, classics and horror films.

Dehn’s looking forward to blockbusters, including “Godzilla” (slated for release

May 16) and “How to Train Your Dragon 2” (scheduled for June 13).

As it has in the past, the theater once again has partnered with the Volo Auto Museum for promotions, such as a contest in which the winner can drive Bumblebee, the 1977 yellowand-black Camaro featured in the original 2007 “Transformers” film.

A winner – chosen from among those who enter the number printed on their Auto Museum entry wristbands at www.volocars.com – will drive the car, along with a date, from the museum to the opening night of “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” anticipated for June 27.

The winner, announced June 13, also will receive dinner from the concession stand and watch the film from the car.

The promotion adds to a grass-roots campaign to promote and save drive-in theaters everywhere.

“I think it’s easy to take them for granted because they’ve been here for so long,” Dehn said. “You don’t hear about any new drive-in theaters. Now that there’s a threat of them leaving, I know there are a lot of Facebook groups and people coming together to keep them alive. ...

“There are some people I almost think they need to have a nameplate put out because they’re in the same spots every weekend.”

MORE SOUNDS NEWS & REVIEWS PlanitNorthwest.com/sounds

BAND SPOTLIGHT: THE SALOONATICS What is the band’s name and how did it get that name?

The Saloonatics. We selected the name because we assumed we would be playing mostly in drinking establishments, and we wanted to poke fun at ourselves and add a little humor by adding the ‘atics.’

Saloon kind of lends that country/western feel.

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

Rick Bero – Huntley Bill Daszkowski – Carpentersville Rob Gregory – Woodstock Roger Bennett – Sleepy Hollow What instruments do each of your band members play?

Rick Bero – drums Bill Daszkowski – bass Rob Gregory – guitars Roger Bennett – guitars How did the band get started?

Rick [Bero] was looking for a band to play rockabillystyle music. He had known Bill [Daszkowski] for several years (while playing together in another band) and met Rob and Roger while looking for musicians on Bandmix.

Describe the music you play.

The band formed a couple of years ago originally with a rockabilly/country interest. We’ve expanded our perspective over time, and that has influenced the evolution in our music selections.

We’ve added styles, such as surf music, classic country, vintage rock and traditional folk. We currently play our own arrangements of songs from Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, Buddy Holly, Eagles, Ventures, CCR, Tom Petty, Beatles, Stones, Traveling Wilburys and more.

THE SALOONATICS WHEN: 2 p.m. May 17 WHERE: Parkside Pub, 11721 Main St., Huntley COST & INFO: Playing vintage rock with a country twist. Band members include Rick Bero, drums; Bill Daszkowski, bass; Rob Gregory, guitars; and Roger Bennett, guitars. Contact information: www.thesaloonatics.com. Schedule: 8:30 to 10 p.m. May 29, Village of Gilberts Community Days Festival; 6:30 p.m. June 28, Rock the Fox Music Festival, Carpenter Park, 351 Carpenter Blvd., Carpentersville.

What makes your act different?

We define our band as “vintage rock ’n’ roll with a country twist.” Basically we pick songs that we like and enjoy playing.

We’re in it for the fun, and we really enjoy the feedback from our audiences when they’re having fun and dancing.

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

For the fun and enjoyment, having a good time with friends and family and sharing the music that we enjoy playing.

What is the best thing about being a musician?

Being able to do what we enjoy and sharing the good times with others.

Pick one: Chuck Berry or Elvis Presley?

Elvis Pick one: Michael Jackson or Madonna?

Michael

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

Last year while playing outside at a summerfest, the wind was rattling the tarps so hard that the sound engineer couldn’t figure out where the buzzing was coming from.
