Good morning, McHenry County ...

Butter has its place, but it’s not on my sandwiches I’ve developed a fondness for butter, and this is coming from a lifelong margarine eater.

I grew up with the commercial jingle in my head for Blue Bonnet margarine, “Everything’s better with Blue Bonnet on it!” Except I only liked margarine when it was melted. I couldn’t tolerate it otherwise.

Mom knew my predilection for sandwiches sans margarine and never forced it on me. Of course, I refused to eat it when it was slathered on my sandwiches, and mothers choose their battles.

Margarine wasn’t one of them. Not when you have five other kids to contend with.

I still haven’t come around to spreading margarine – now butter – on my sandwiches.

I’m still haunted by lunch at Stephen Schloesser’s house when I was in grade school. His mom made us sandwiches for lunch – and I think this was the first time I had eaten over at a friend’s house – and she spread butter on the sandwiches, and put the plate in front of us.

Knowing what it was, I was hesitant, but I had no choice; I had to take a sandwich. And I took a bite, and the gag reflex went into action. I didn’t cough it up, but I very narrowly swallowed it and couldn’t take another bite. Mrs. Schloesser saw I wasn’t eating my sandwich and asked why, and rather than tell her the truth, I couldn’t eat butter, I told her I wasn’t hungry. That was the last time I ate lunch at Stephen Schloesser’s house.

I’ve been eating toasted bagels for breakfast for I don’t know how long. I enjoy them, and you don’t have to pay attention to them like you do to cereal, which has to be attended to, otherwise the cereal becomes soggy in the milk, and who wants to eat soggy cereal? I like the crunch in my mouth. I can multitask when eating a bagel; I can’t when I’m eating cereal.

We started buying butter a couple of months ago when we found out that, in moderation, butter was actually good for you, although if you go to the Incredible Internet, you will find varying reports about the health benefits about butter.

Butter comes from a cow, margarine comes from vegetable oils.

I throw my lot with the cow. I lived in Harvard for 25 years, the erstwhile Milk Center of the World, the home of Harmilda, the black-and-white fiberglass Holstein who stands guard over the Five Points. McHenry County’s first summer celebration is Harvard Milk Days, an enduring tribute to dairy farmers, milk and all that is wholesome.

And melted butter on my toasted bagel tastes so much better than margarine. I was surprised;

VIEWS Dick Peterson I didn’t think there would be a difference, having eaten margarine nearly all my life and gotten used to the flavor.

But I still didn’t put any on my sandwiches. It has been that way for about 50 years, with the gag reflex from Mrs. Schloesser’s sandwiches burned in my memory as if it was yesterday. It was just as well she didn’t invite me back for lunch. Picky eater, she must have thought. Not at my kitchen table.

For the sake of journalistic inquiry, I swallowed hard and spread butter over my bread for my sandwich for lunch Tuesday. I was going to break a 50-year prohibition and have a sandwich with butter on it. It tasted so good melted, maybe it would taste just as good whole and unmelted.

Applying it with the butter knife wasn’t so easy, as it fought against the bread to be buttered. And I didn’t like the look of it, kind of thick and yellowish-white. But this was an experiment.

I packed my lunch away, but I couldn’t forget about it. It’s been 50 years, after all. That’s a long time to ban anything from your taste buds. Breaking the prohibition was no small thing.

When lunchtime came, I got my book out and my sandwich – and I knew what was on it – and I took a deep breath and bit into it. I couldn’t taste anything out of the ordinary. No gag reflex thankfully. But the sandwich had a slick, oily feel to it in my mouth, not something I liked. I finished the sandwich. I was hungry, and I pretty much eat what is put in front of me. I’m not such a picky eater after all these years.

The experiment was a success. I buttered my bread, something I hadn’t done in 50 years, and ate the sandwich without gagging. But it proved I was right in disliking buttered bread.

It wasn’t all in my head. My taste buds weren’t misleading me after all these years. Melted, yes. It tastes good; it adds a subtle flavor. Raw, no. It’s oily and slippery, not something I want in a sandwich.

My curiosity has been satisfied. Some things never change.

CARY MAN TO RUN BOSTON MARATHON Jeff Farmer hopes to raise $5K for domestic violence shelter Turning Point

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CARY – Jeff Farmer considers himself lucky to wake up on a Saturday and run 20 miles.

Exhausted and sore, but lucky.

Jeff Farmer, who has never participated in a 26.2 mile race, will run in the Boston Marathon on April 18 in hopes of raising $5,000 for Turning Point, McHenry County’s only comprehensive domestic violence shelter. It’s the latest step he’s taken in a lifetime of supporting the organization, which is run by his mother, Jane Farmer.

The race is typically reserved for people who qualify by proving they can run at the appropriate pace for their gender and age group, but he was allowed in the race because of a random drawing through work.

“I’m confident I’m going to finish it,” he said. “I’m really just going to enjoy the experience of running the Boston Marathon.”

He’ll be running with 30,000 other people, according to registration numbers from marathon officials. Of those

How to help To donate to Jeff Farmer’s campaign, visit www.crowdrise.com/runningforturningpoi. registered, 24,000 had to run an earlier marathon to qualify. It’s not clear what experience the remaining 6,000 runners have, but about half of all participants are running the Boston Marathon for the first time.

The Cary resident isn’t starting from scratch. At 31, he’s run five half-marathons and he runs regularly. He said he’s down to a 9-minute mile, which is about where he expects to keep his pace.

He started running five years ago when he and his wife, Jennie, were trying to lose weight in the year leading up to their wedding. They bought a treadmill and he was able to lose 100 pounds in a year.

Despite his love for running, the marathon seems daunting. His oldest daughter helped him realize the distance he’s going to run is close to the span from his house to Ikea in Schaumburg.

“It’s actually short,” he joked.

“Which means I would have to run

around the parking lot a couple times when I got there. It’s crazy when you think about how far it actually is.”

As much as he’s reminded of the challenges running the marathon has created, his dedication is unwavering.

His childhood was peppered with days selling candy bars outside stores to raise money for Turning Point, and those efforts continued into adulthood.

When he got word in November he would be allotted a spot in the race, he thought of how to help women, men and children receiving Turning Point’s help.

In 2015, Turning Point served 1,645 clients. More than 1,200 men and women who were victims of domestic violence sought help at the Woodstock-based shelter. More than 200 child victims of domestic violence received help, 30 of them younger than 5 years old.

What’s more, the agency’s crisis hotline took nearly 3,100 calls in 2015.

With less than a month to go, his

fundraiser has garnered more than $2,200 in donations. That money will go into Turning Point’s general fund so it can be used when it is needed most, Jane Farmer said.

“I’m incredibly excited for him to do this,” Jane Farmer said. “And I’m very excited from a mom’s perspective. It’s great to have someone so committed.”

People other than his mom have let him know they appreciate what he’s doing.

About 16 miles into a recent 18-mile run at Lifetime Fitness in Algonquin, Jeff Farmer said he noticed a woman giving him a strange look. A few moments later the woman tapped him on the shoulder.

She was crying.

She had seen his Turning Point T-shirt, which read “I run to stop domestic violence.”

“That place saved my life,” he remembered the woman telling him.

“It was easy to jump back on for those last couple miles, because I know what a difference Turning Point makes,” Jeff Farmer said. “It changes people’s lives.”

5% This 1911 photo of two Fox River fishermen near Cary once was common at the time. Back then, it was not unusual to see the riverbanks chock-full of campsites and visitors around the turn of the century, with Chicagoans disembarking from the train at Cary Station depot and heading by horse and buggy to Frisch’s Resort or the Narowetz Resort, and later Wium’s Grand View Resort. The McHenry County Historical Society will present “The River as Time Machine” at 3 p.m. Monday at the museum, 6422 Main St. in Union.

Pioneer Center to rescind funding request to benefit other agency

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Although they were slated to ask for the second installment of a $600,000 rescue plan, Pioneer Center for Human Services officials have rescinded its request for the money, and on Tuesday will instead suggest that the McHenry County Mental Health Board award that money to another agency.

Mental Health Board Executive Director Scott Block said Pioneer officials will ask that the $300,000 intended to help Pioneer transition adult behavioral health services to other agencies be given to the Association for Individual Development, or AID, an Aurora-based agency that offers services similar to Pioneer.

Pioneer is transferring behavioral health services to other agencies and preparing to sell or lease two of its facilities as the nonprofit slims down to its original mission of helping people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The agency also will maintain its group homes and Public Action to Deliver Shelter, the homelessness agency it absorbed in 2006.

Pioneer Board Chairman Mike Moushey said officials are hopeful they will be able to lease facilities and transfer most of the

105 behavioral health employees through the deal. He also believes the new direction will be a better option for the agency’s 875 behavioral health clients.

“We would rather have that money go toward transferring to the new agency and go toward their success,” Moushey said.

Officials have said the state’s budget stalemate has exacerbated Pioneer’s financial problems by not paying the agency more than $1.5 million in late payments.

But, it also suffers from internal billing problems that have caused the agency to lose out on more than $2.5 million in behavioral health reimbursements.

The Mental Health Board in February agreed to provide $300,000 up front to help Pioneer during the transition, but it attached stringent financial requirements.

Pioneer had to provide weekly cash-flow reports, and in-person financial updates every other week in order to receive the other $300,000.

Block said the reporting guidelines for Pioneer will remain in place as Mental Health Board officials still have concerns about the nonprofit’s vulnerability.

Pioneer, Mental Health Board and AID will have to discuss the exact details of the plan. Block said the Mental Health Board will not make a funding decision Tuesday.

8 McHENRY COUNTY

Kenneally looks forward after winning primary

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – Patrick Kenneally knows firsthand that there’s still work to be done in the McHenry County criminal justice system.

The assistant state’s attorney is on his way to succeeding McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi, who filed to run for a fourth term but later withdrew. Kenneally will be on the ballot in November after defeating challenger and former assistant state’s attorney Dan Regna in Tuesday’s Republican primary.

First employed in the state’s attorney’s office in 2007, Kenneally, of Crystal Lake, said his past experience working on all types of prosecution in the county will help him in his new role if elected in November.

“Doing this job, if you don’t have an attachment to the best interest of the

victim, then you really have no business doing this,” Kenneally said. “You are talking about people who are truly deserving of your help.”

One of his main priorities includes curbing the county’s heroin and opioid epidemic through partnerships with key stakeholders in the community.

Like much of the rest Patrick of the country, heroin Kenneally addiction has greatly impacted McHenry County. In 2014, there were 32 drug overdose deaths and 12 were heroin related, according to the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.

“We need to make sure that the stigma that goes along with opioid addiction doesn’t keep people from treatment,” Kenneally said.

Kenneally said he hopes to create a

program comparable to the Lake County Opioid Initiative, a task force created in 2012 to educate and decrease the number of opioid-related deaths in Lake County. Part of the initiative’s efforts also would ensure that naloxone, which blocks or reverses the effects of an opioid, is in the hands of every police officer in the county, Kenneally said.

Several police departments across the county are using naloxone to revive a person suspected of a heroin overdose, but there are still many who have not yet implemented it into their training.

In addition to collaborating to curb opioid addiction, Kenneally hopes to improve the relationship between the state’s attorney’s office and law enforcement officers. He plans to meet with every police department in the county to discuss ways to better communicate and collaborate.

Kenneally also is looking to work with judges to crack down on repeat DUI offenders by making electronic warrants more accessible so hospital employees can draw blood samples from suspects who refuse breathalyzer tests.

Since 2010, McHenry County has introduced several diversionary programs to its court system, including the first offender program, mental health court, domestic violence court and drug court. Kenneally plans to continue and eventually expand those programs in order to better help to those who need it.

There are about 90 to 95 people in drug court currently, Kenneally said.

“While holding people accountable, you also have to extend a helping hand to those people and pull them up,” he said. “If your reaction is reflexive, then you are not going to be able to help these people.”

City Council agrees to discuss home rule policy Voters in Action group plans neighborhood canvass to halt home rule status, inform residents

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – A special census in Woodstock that is expected to bring the city’s population above 25,000, making it automatically a home-rule community, has prompted Voters in Action to spread the word about what being home rule means for the city.

Member and Woodstock resident Scott Gessert said the group plans to canvass newer Woodstock neighborhoods in April. At Tuesday’s council meeting, Gessert also suggested during public comment that the coun-

cil adopt a home rule policy, and Mayor Brian Sager said discussion of the policy would be placed on a future agenda.

Home rule status gives municipalities more power to tax; however, city officials have emphasized that the city has a history of keeping taxes low for Joe Tirio residents by not taking the amount allowed under the property tax extension limitation law.

Canvassing neighborhoods would allow the group to inform voters about

home rule and of residents’ right to not respond to special census questions, Gessert said, and potentially halt the city’s attempt to reach home rule status.

“We’re trying not to be too heavy handed,” said Joe Tirio, one of Voters in Action’s founders and a Woodstock resident. “There hasn’t been much in terms of dialogue, and that’s a big reason why the group we have exists and why it keeps growing.”

The suggested home rule policy mirrors one in place in Downers Grove, and would include requirements such as the council refraining

from voting on a new tax before two meetings after information is made public, and putting out an advisory referendum before the city passes an ordinance, Gessert said.

“I think it brings a balance between the benefits of home rule in terms of bringing control back from the state to a more local point, but also includes more resident participation and involvement in that process,” Tirio said.

Sager said the council was willing to move forward with discussion on a home rule policy because it’s the intent of the council to work with the public.

Riverside Plaza developer files bankruptcy Says it won’t affect Algonquin apartments

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The developer of Riverside Plaza filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week and said the filing would have no effect on the operation of the apartment building.

John Breugelmans of Riverside Plaza Developers LLC said he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy March 14 because it allows him to restructure a plan to repay secured debt that is owed to a construction lender.

Bruegelmans’ attorney, Neal Wolf of Tetzlaff Law Offices in Chicago, said the developer owes construction lender UCF 1 Trust 1 of Boston more than $13 million.

Bruegelmans said the lender had become “extremely demanding” and was asking for money to be repaid at unreasonable rates. He said the filing was a protection against bankruptcy, and will protect Riverside Plaza from court actions and force the lender to come to the negotiation table.

“It will be totally transparent. We

have already prepared the plan for reorganization,” Bruegelmans said. “There’s no effect whatsoever on any part of the project. ... We have more than adequate cash flow from the operation of the building to just continue as before. We are not in a financial debacle.”

Wolf said he and Bruegelmans met with representatives from the village Wednesday and it was “brief and pleasant.” Community Development Director Russ Farnum said the developer was still in good standing with the village and had fulfilled what has been asked of him.

Bruegelmans said Riverside Plaza is about 75 percent occupied and he anticipates that number rising to about 80 percent based on prospective renters.

Bruegelmans also said the dispute with this lender had stalled progress on selling retail space on the first floor of the building. He said 70 percent of the spaces have been allocated to a restaurant, a cafe and an office suite, and with the bankruptcy filing in place, he will sign letters of intent soon.

Fire Protection District may try tax referendum again in fall 53.2 percent of voters rejected new tax Tuesday

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com

ALGONQUIN – After a referendum to add a new property tax for the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District failed in Tuesday’s election, Fire Chief Peter Van Dorpe said he likely will ask the district’s Board of Trustees to place the question on November’s ballot.

The referendum, which would have added a 0.1 percent emergency and rescue tax amounting to about $61 on the property tax bill of the owner of a $200,000 house, was rejected by 53.2 percent of voters. District officials said the revenue is needed because of a loss of revenue from the commercial fire alarm business and added costs from the Affordable Care Act.

Van Dorpe said the members of the district were “a bit shocked” by the result because they felt the referendum had been well-received by residents they had spoken to.

“We did really well in places and really poorly in others,” Van Dorpe said. “My personal sense is the information didn’t get out across the whole district.”

The money from a potential tax would not have been included in the budget for the fiscal year starting May 1, but because of the rejection, the chief said he was reducing his maintenance budget in the upcoming budget and he will not be putting money aside for vehicle replacement.

The budget for 2017-18 likely would include personnel cuts, he said.

Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Firefighters Local 3895 President Matt Burg said the union, who led the campaign to spread the word about the referendum, would support the chief and trustees if

“We put together hundreds of hours of effort leading up into this, and we would continue to do that. It’s obvious there were some precincts that weren’t in favor as much as others. I think it’s our job to ensure people in those precincts receive and understand the message that several others have.”

HARVARD – A restructuring of Harvard’s parks and recreation commission will help the city get more resident input on how to increase the Parks and Recreation Department’s budget, Mike Clarke said.

Clarke, Harvard alderman and chairman of the commission, said the goal is to add three resident members to create a new seven-member parks board. The commission is currently made up of four aldermen, Clarke said.

The change is being made after a finalized comprehensive plan for Harvard’s parks identified that more funding would be needed to make improvements to the parks, and to possibly add additional features such as an indoor recreation center.

One option to bring in more funds would be to create a referendum to

renew a library and pool bond, which is set to expire in 2019. Extending the bond would add an extra $150,000 to the Parks and Recreation Department’s $110,000 annual budget, Clarke said.

“What we really need to do is get direction from the community,” Clarke said. “First, if they want this referendum to pass, and from there, we can put some actual strategic plans in place.”

Because a referendum cannot be created by the city, Clarke said the board would seek resident involvement to get a potential referendum passed.

“Originally we said we may try and wait for another couple years, but we feel it’s best to try to do it right now within the year,” Clarke said.

The council is expected to approve the new board at the City Council meeting Tuesday, Clarke said.

Anyone interested in joining should email Clarke at michaelclarke3384@ gmail.com.

Residents express concerns about Meyer Material extension proposal

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com CARY – Residents from the neighborhood near the Meyer Material property continue to voice opposition to continued mining activities on the site even as the Village Board first heard the company’s case for an extension last week.

Meyer Material, which began mining in 2008, is asking for an amendment to its agreement with the village that would allow it to continue mining and restoration activities on its site along Route 31 until June 1, 2020.

The current agreement calls for mining to be finished by June 1 of this year and restoration to be finished by June 1 of 2018, with fines of $100,000 a month for any activity past those deadlines.

The zoning board recommended against granting the extension in January, but the proposal still would only

Family to hold fundraiser for Riddick’s Ride nonprofit

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com ISLAND LAKE – Despite never being able to crawl, sit up, stand, talk or eat on his own, Riddick Quinones was full of life, his mother said.

Kristin Quinones said her son was born with a rare chromosome 5q deletion syndrome and a list of other medical problems, including lung, kidney and heart disease, which kept him in the hospital and away from their Island Lake home for most of his life.

When Riddick died on his third birthday, March 29, 2015, Quinones and her husband, Scott Quinones, promised each other they would continue to help those with rare and complex medical conditions in Riddick’s honor. Less than a year later, the nonprofit Riddick’s Ride began to raise money for families with children going through a similar situation to Riddick’s.

“Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of

Riot for Riddick, an event to celebrate Riddick’s birthday and to raise money for the Riddick’s Ride, will be from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 3 at Layton Athletics, 5402 Austin Court, Ringwood.

The event will feature a car smashing, a DJ, lunch, an open gym and bounce house. People are encouraged to bring birthday gifts that will be donated to Almost Home Kids, an organization

that provides transitional care to children with complicated heath needs.

Riddick’s health needs meant he needed to be taken care of full time, Kristin Quinones said. “Every day was different,” she said. “It was hard because one moment he could be fine, and then the next minute he would need to go to the hospital and he was sick.”

All of the time taken away from work and medical costs was hard on the family’s finances, said Sandy Quinones, Riddick’s grandmother.

A GoFundMe page, separate from Riddick’s Ride, was created for the family to help pay medical costs, she said.

Sandy Quinones hopes people will learn from Riddick’s story to accept people who have serious medical problems, and support families who have gone through similar situations.

“The fact that their heart is still to help these families, that’s what makes them strong,” Sandy Quinones said.

“It’s amazing.”

MCC board to consider alcohol sales at restaurant

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – The idea of serving alcohol at the student-run restaurant at McHenry County College is one that the chairman of the MCC Board of Trustees thinks would enhance the culinary curriculum.

The board will be voting on whether to pursue a liquor license from the city of Crystal Lake at the next regular meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

College faculty and administration gave a presentation before its board Tuesday, making a case for a temporary liquor license for the restaurant, Slainté, to serve bottled beer and glasses of wine.

See LIQUOR SALES, page A19

One of the most important resources any company has is its employees, those people who concentrate their efforts and abilities and strive to make their company successful. We are very fortunate to have many such employees at Aptar Cary and McHenry. Each year, through our Quality Improvement Process, Aptar seeks to recognize employees at each of our three McHenry County facilities for special effort, dedication, and achievements.

A great many employees are nominated throughout the year to be recognized for this special award and we are proud to have such dedicated talent and loyal employees on the Aptar team. This year, we are honoring three employees, one from each of our facilities, as Employee(s) of the Year!

“Allowing students to serve alcohol will further enhance their educational training,” according to the presentation

by MCC Chef Tina Drzal and James Falco, executive dean of education, career, and technical education.

A restaurant at the college made up of student managers, chefs, servers and bussers, Slainté does not currently serve alcohol, although alcohol is used in many of the culinary classes for cooking.

The college would request a Class 19 liquor license, which allows for a temporary license lasting no longer than three days. Because Slainté is only open for two days at a time, this was the most economical option considering the college could use this license and renew it each time it’s needed, MCC officials said.

Board Chairman Mike Smith said he was in favor of the concept, adding that it would be a controlled venture focused more on education than money-making.

Being able to serve alcohol would “expand [students] qualifications to serve in

campus, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake restaurants or hotels,” Smith said.

According to the presentation, Slainté opened in 2013 and has increased revenue every year from about $3,900 the first year to about $12,700 in 2015.

To start the process, the total cost would be $2,030, including an application fee, background check, the license itself, among other items. On an annual basis, serving alcohol would cost the college about $1,580, but the presentation indicated the sale of alcohol would garner an estimated $150 a night or $3,300 a semester.

Slainté is open 22 days each semester and has a seating capacity of about 60 people. It is in the MCC Scot Room, Building B, Room 178, behind the cafeteria.

Police misconduct has cost Chicago $662M since ’04 1 The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – In this city’s troubled history of police misconduct, Eric Caine’s case may be unrivaled: It took more than 25 years and $10 million to resolve.

For decades, he maintained he didn’t brutally kill an elderly couple.

The police, he said, beat him into a false confession. Locked up at age 20, he was freed at 46, bewildered by a world he no longer recognized. Caine ultimately was declared innocent, sued the city and settled for $10 million. But victory brought him little peace.

“They wouldn’t give anybody that large amount of money if they didn’t believe that person was wronged,” he said. “But I also look at it as a way for them to just want me to go away. ...

Nobody cares if I live or die.”

Caine is just one example of huge police settlements that have tarnished the city in recent years. Among them: A one-time death row inmate beaten by police: $6.1 million. An unarmed man fatally shot by an officer: $4.1 million.

And last year, the family of Laquan McDonald, the black teenager shot 16 times by a white officer, received $5 million. His death, captured in a shocking video, led to a murder charge against the officer, the police chief’s firing and thunderous street protests with calls for Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s resignation.

Chicago has paid a staggering sum – about $662 million – on police misconduct since 2004, including judgments, settlements and outside legal fees, according to city records. The payouts, for everything from petty harassment to police torture, have brought more financial misery to a city already drowning in billions of dollars of pension debt.

The Justice Department’s recent decision to investigate the Chicago police – fallout from the McDonald case – has helped focus new attention on this agonizing history of misconduct and the surprising lack of consequences.

Few officers accused of wrongdoing have been disciplined in recent years.

So how did the city get to the point where a massive misconduct bill has almost become routine? And why has

bad behavior gone unchecked?

Alderman Howard Brookins Jr. offers one explanation. “If you were seen going after police, you were seen as being for crime,” he said. “Nothing happened to the police officers even after they got a big judgment against them, so it appeared to be like Monopoly money.”

Lawyer Jon Loevy noticed the same pattern while winning more than a dozen seven-figure misconduct verdicts over the past decade. Jurors, he said, concluded “police did reprehensible things” – including framing people and shooting them without justification – but he knows of no case where those officers were punished.

“Not only was nobody disciplined, nobody was asked any questions,” he said. “It was just back to work.”

Few accusations ever reach the punishment stage, according to the Invisible Institute, a nonprofit journalism organization, and the University of Chicago Law School’s Mandel Legal Aid Clinic. They found that from March 2011 to September 2015, more than 28,500 complaints of misconduct were filed against Chicago police officers, but less than 2 percent resulted in discipline.

Both the police and the union representing rank-and-file officers said the numbers are misleading.

Dean Angelo, president of the union, said criminals routinely file frivolous complaints to harass and discourage police from pursuing them.

City officials also said many complaints are less serious – an improperly issued ticket, for instance. The police, in a statement to The Associated Press, said allegations of misconduct led to 45 firings and 28 suspensions from 2011 through 2015 in a department of about 12,000. Some cases remain open.

During that time, the city doled out tens of millions of dollars on misconduct claims. Only a small number are in the seven-figure range. Stephen Patton, corporation counsel, said his office has cut the number of outside lawyers, taken more cases to trial and since 2011, saved taxpayers at least $90 million by evaluating suits promptly and settling them, if appropriate.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS two hours over the city 37 miles Heavy winds as plane crashes in Russia, 62 dead from the Ukraine border. But MOSCOW – Winds were gusting before dawn Saturday over the airport in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don when a plane carrying 62 people from a favorite Russian holiday destination decided to abort its landing.

The timing was tricky. Two planes had landed just a few minutes before the FlyDubai plane aimed to touch down.

On the other hand, a Russian Aeroflot plane scheduled to land around the same time tried to come down three times then diverted to another airport, according to Flightradar24, an aviation website.

The FlyDubai pilots chose to put their Boeing 737-800 into a holding pattern, circling for

In Seoul, the glass-covered City Hall was among several public buildings where officials switched off the lights inside and out Saturday evening.

GOP candidates taking aim at Common Core standards The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Note to Republican presidential candidates: Congress passed, with broad bipartisan support, an education law that specifically says the federal government cannot push academic standards such as Common Core or give incentives to states that adopt them. On top of that, Common Core standards were established by state governors, not Washington.

So is the talk about killing Common Core just that – talk?

Of the three remaining GOP presidential candidates, only Ohio Gov. John Kasich supports the rigorous academic standards.

The others are vehement in their opposition.

“We’re getting rid of Common Core,” Donald Trump said during a debate in early John Kasich this month.

At the most recent debate, March 10 in Miami, he said: “I want local education. I want the parents, and I want all of the teachers, and I want everybody to get together around a school and to make education great.”

Donald Sen. Ted Cruz, too, is opposed to Common Core. He Trump has called the academic standards a “perverse” mandate.

At the Miami debate, he said, “Common Core is a disaster.

And if I am elected president, in the first days as president I will direct the Department of Education that Common Core Ted Cruz ends that day.”

What they fail to mention is Common Core began as a state-driven campaign to raise learning standards for the nation’s schoolchildren. Launched in 2009, the idea was to embrace learning goals by grade across all 50 states to make sure kids in Iowa were on track and receiving a quality education along with students in California, Maine and elsewhere – and to ensure that all students were prepared for life after high school, for college or a job.

It was a project of governors and state school chiefs.

Much of the backlash against Common Core began when the federal government, through its Race to the Top program, started giving education grants to states that adopted higher academic standards. That grant money has run its course, and the new education law bars future use of incentives for embracing

Sixth-grade students use a practice session Feb. 12, 2015, to prepare for the Common Core State Standards Test at Morgan Elementary School South in Stockport, Ohio. Republican presidential candidates are taking aim at Common Core, criticizing the academic standards as an overreach of the federal government. But Common Core was created by the states.

Common Core or any standards.

Even with Race to the Top, there was no federal mandate to adopt Common Core.

Chad Aldeman, an associate partner at Bellwether Education Partners, said this notion that the federal government “must stop” Common Core runs contrary to the long-held Republican position that governance of public schools is a state issue.

“It’s a little bit ironic that they’ve been sounding the alarm about federal control and now the leading Republican presidential candidates all want to take federal action against a state initiative,” Aldeman said in an interview. “There’s really nothing that they could do to stop Common Core other than using the bully pulpit to try to convince states to back out of their own commitments.”

Trump has acknowledged that Common Core was set up by the states. “But it has all been taken over now by the bureaucrats in Washington, and they are not interested in what’s happening in Miami or in Florida, in many cases,” he said.

Without referring to Common Core by its name, Kasich made clear at the Miami debate that he’s in favor of “high standards” for Ohio.

“In our state, the state school board sets the standards.”

The education law passed Congress in December with overwhelming support from both parties and was quickly signed by President Barack Obama. The law revamps the widely criticized No Child Left Behind Act and substantially limits the federal government’s role in public schools, including its powers to push academic standards. Cruz missed the vote in the Senate on the bill.

“Republicans are campaigning on outdated talking points,” Bellwether’s Aldeman said.

Protesters are removed as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally March 9 in Fayetteville, N.C.

Why are police at political rallies – and who pays for them?

The ASSOCIATED PRESS The scene was violent and chaotic: Protesters being forcibly removed from a rally for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The image reinforced a common complaint that police can be callous toward the free-speech rights of demonstrators when seeking to preserve order. Some questions and answers about rules and procedures for police at political events:

Q. Who pays for police to be there, taxpayers or event organizers?

A. It depends. As part of the permit-

ting process, local officials, the venue and event organizers discuss the event and its logistics, and decide what kind of security is needed. What’s the expected crowd size? Is there a record of violence or disruptions at similar events?

Sometimes authorities decide it’s necessary for event organizers to provide private security. Sometimes authorities agree to supplement that with police. Sometimes the private security detail consists of off-duty officers who are paid by the organizers or the venue, but retain their normal police powers. Sometimes, it’s private security without arrest power supplemented by police on their regular shifts.

With 18,000 police departments in the U.S. and municipalities with different rules, venues that can be municipally owned or privately held and events that require different approaches to ensure safety, nothing is standard.

Q. Why are police there?

A. To ensure public safety, both

inside and outside the event. A large gathering mixed with the natural

political friction of an election season, or any event that draws crowds in the thousands, can be a volatile brew.

Any such event, from a political rally to an NFL game, needs police present, said Jon Shane, an assistant professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.

Q. How do police show enough force sufficient to maintain calm without becoming a provocation?

A. When violence broke out in Fer-

guson, Missouri, in 2014, blame fell on police for deploying armored vehicles and tear gas and using them aggressively against protesters.

Law enforcement experts said officers must walk a fine line to appear in control without appearing threatening.

“That’s a very difficult judgment area,” said Ben Tisa, an ex-Marine and retired FBI agent and now a consultant on police policy, procedures and practices.

Some officers might be in uniform, while others are in plain clothes to blend in. Conflicting protesters may have to be kept separated. And some demonstrators come with the full intention of getting arrested, Tisa said.

“The officers are in a tough place,” he said. “If they have too many, they get yelled at. If they don’t have enough, they get yelled at.”

Q. Can localities recover any costs of providing protection for political rallies?

A. They can try, but it’s not easy. A

county in Virginia billed the 2012 presidential campaigns more than $180,000 for providing police for security on a visit by New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. The state GOP reimbursed them just less than $2,000, leaving the rest unreimbursed.

Abdeslam, the top suspect in last year’s deadly Paris attacks, was arrested after a four-month manhunt with a suspected accomplice. will come as authorities try to dismantle a network involved in the attacks that they now say is much larger than originally suspected. The Islamic State group had claimed responsibility for the Paris carnage.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve called Abdeslam’s arrest a “major blow” to the Islamic State group in Europe, but warned that the threat of new attacks remains “extremely high.”

Belgium’s prime minister also said “the fight is not over.”

Molins, the Paris prosecutor, said Abdeslam is suspected not only of being a “key actor in the action” last November in the French capital but also of the logistical planning for the deadly attacks. He said French authorities suspect him of bringing numerous “terrorists” to Europe in the months leading up to the attacks and conducting multiples trips around Europe.

Often using false identities, Abdeslam rented cars starting last July, Molins said, traveling north from Greece and Italy, hitting Hungary in August, Austria in September, and Germany and the Netherlands in October.

BRUSSELS – After a bullet in the leg ended his four-month flight from the law, Salah Abdeslam started a legal fight Saturday against his extradition from Belgium to France, where the president and the families of 130 victims want the top suspect in the Paris attacks to stand trial.

In Paris, prosecutor Francois Molins said during an interrogation session on Saturday that Abdeslam told Belgian officials that he had “wanted to blow himself up at the Stade de France” on Nov. 13 but that he backed out at the last minute. Molins did not say what caused the 26-year-old purportedly to change his mind.

Abdeslam was shot Friday along with a suspected accomplice when they were captured by Belgian police during a massive anti-terror raid in Brussels. He was found at an apartment a mere 500 meters (yards) from his parents’ home, where he grew up.

On Saturday, he was discharged from the St. Pierre hospital in Brussels, questioned by authorities lying down because of his gunshot wound, and then officially charged with “participation in terrorist murder” in the Nov. 13 Paris attacks. France quickly issued a new European arrest warrant with more charges to speed up his extradition to a June 18 deadline.

French President Francois Hollande made it clear he wanted Abdeslam back in Paris, the city he fled after the November carnage. The suspect’s Belgian lawyer made it clear he would fight extradition.

Lawyer Sven Mary said since there was a criminal investigation in Brussels, “we don’t need him in France.

We need him in Belgium.” He said any hasty extradition would be motivated by a sense of guilt since the attacks were prepared and coordinated in Belgium and several attackers came from Brussels.

“Perhaps we should tone down our groveling to compensate for the sense of guilt we feel toward France,” Mary said after he and Abdeslam met with a Belgian investigating magistrate.

Abdeslam’s capture in the Brussels neighborhood of Molenbeek after four months on the run brought relief to people who have seen his “wanted” poster all over the two European countries for months.

Hollande warned that more arrests

OUR VIEW

Election problems must be fixed McHenry County Clerk Mary McClellan said she has started to address the many issues that plagued Tuesday’s election.

She needs to, because the problems were many and the criticisms widespread. Some even questioned the integrity of the election overall, although McClellan assured voters it was never compromised.

Among the issues For the record on Primary Election Day: The problems experienced • New electronic on Primary Election Day must poll books that were never happen again. being used to check registered voters in at some polling locations weren’t working properly, resulting in some voters being turned away and asked to return later.

• When poll workers tried to report problems, the clerk’s office in some cases was not responsive in a timely manner and workers reached answering machines, not people.

• The poll book problem led to an emergency court order keeping all McHenry County polling places opened until 8:30 p.m. But many polling places never got the order, resulting in at least two closing before they were supposed to.

• Some polling places had far too few provisional ballots, resulting in them running out.

• Results were reported incredibly slowly. By the time all neighboring counties were finished reporting results, McHenry County was reporting fewer than 50 percent of totals. Winners of several close races could not declare victory until Thursday evening, 48 hours after the polls closed.

McLellan acknowledged poor communication was a major problem and said she would appoint a communication officer to manage issues in future elections.

Rep. David McSweeney has requested that the Illinois State Board of Elections conduct an investigation into all of these issues in McHenry County.

We support McSweeney’s request.

McLellan said she welcomed a Board of Elections review. But McLellan also should reach out to neighboring counties that don’t have the problems McHenry County does. She must review and improve her hiring and training practices.

In short, she must take every step necessary to ensure what happened Tuesday can never happen again.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Sobering up about addiction Slowly but surely, like the proverbial aircraft carrier, the U.S. government is changing to a new and better course on the long-neglected issue of opioid abuse and addiction.

On Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention took an emphatic stand against the loose prescribing norms that have fueled the growth of opioid consumption for non-cancer pain, with the terrible result that 16,000 people a year die from overdoses.

Labeling the drugs “dangerous,” and noting that evidence did not support their long-term efficacy for most cases of chronic pain, CDC Director Thomas Frieden urged physicians to follow more-cautious new CDC guidelines that emphasize alternative pain management techniques.

Dr. Frieden and his colleagues deserve credit for incorporating a range of views in the guidelines while resisting pressure to weak-

en them from interest groups that support the status quo.

The CDC announcement followed the Senate’s passage of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 by a vote of 94 to 1. Whereas the White House this year called for more than $1 billion, over two years, in new mandatory funding for drug treatment, this bill includes no new funding beyond a previously allocated $400 million. Still, the legislation is a step in the right direction for three reasons.

First, it was bipartisan, and overwhelmingly so, suggesting lawmakers still can work across the aisle on issues, such as public health, that should never be partisan in the first place. Second, the bill addresses addiction to heroin and prescription opioids as a public-health issue rather than a law enforcement matter, a sea change in federal policy. Even without new money to back it up, this was

a statement worth making.

Third, like the CDC guidelines, the bill attacks the supply side of the problem. It provides for $25 million in grants over five years to states that mandate provider participation in their computerized Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs. These programs help states track the flow of prescription opioids to prevent “doctor-shopping” by addicted patients. Despite federal aid through existing Justice Department grants, these programs remain underfunded and underenforced.

We repeat: The bill could be better. Nevertheless, the legislation usefully reorients federal policy, thus setting the stage for more effective use of federal dollars when they come available, as they should and must. The House should take it up and pass it, soon.

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

The Washington Post

VIEWS Cal Thomas reaching Israel.

The Washington Post reported, “The longer ends of that range appear to exceed limits that the U.N. Security Council has imposed in connection to resolutions banning Iran from developing missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.” Predictably, Iran denies any of its missiles are designed to carry nuclear weapons. Islamic extremists are permitted by the Koran to lie to infidels in pursuit of their earthly goals.

In another exercise in denial, an Obama administration spokesman claimed to be unaware of any missile launch. He should turn on his TV

because the networks have carried video that purports to show them.

The spokesman would only say, “It’s important that Iran live up to its obligations under the [nuclear] deal.”

That’s not about to strike fear into the Mullahs.

Two of the ballistic missiles reportedly carried messages in Hebrew that said, “Israel must be wiped out.” It’s nice Iran is not hiding its intentions, although U.S. diplomats and too many politicians refuse to take these gestures seriously.

President Obama assured us if Iran violated the agreement, sanctions could be re-imposed, but that won’t be effective, especially after unfrozen cash already has been transferred to Tehran. Now even Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has seen the light after favoring the Iran deal. Clinton is-

sued this statement after the missile launch: “Iran should face sanctions for these activities, and the international community must demonstrate that Iran’s threats toward Israel will not be tolerated.”

Contrast that statement with one she made at the time the deal was announced. Last July, Clinton called it “an important step in putting the lid on Iran’s nuclear program,” adding she was “part of building the coalition that brought us to the point of this agreement.”

It’s going to be difficult for her to squirm out of responsibility should Iran reach its goal of creating nukes.

Or will she argue the success or failure of the U.S.-Iran deal depends on the meaning of the word “agreement?”

IT’S YOUR WRITE

No ID required to vote

To the Editor: McHenry County Clerk Mary McClellan had a really bad day. Not only did some precincts close early and deny voters their choice, someone decided it would be a good idea to ask voters for ID to vote. Most voters probably dutifully handed over their Illinois driver’s license to the election judge without a second thought. And while it most likely was not the intent of the process, most voters probably assumed they could not vote if they did not follow this request. That is absolutely not the case in Illinois.

There is no requirement to present identification or a voter registration card to vote.

The process is simple. The judge asks questions of the voter to verify identity.

The voter signs the request sheet, and the judge compares it with the signature on file. If in the opinion of the judge the signatures match, the voter is provided with a ballot.

So, after voting – without providing an ID – I called the clerk’s office for an explanation.

The employee who answered the phone listened politely to my description of what transpired and to my question of when Illinois changed the law to require identification to vote.

She responded with “I assumed” you

need to provide ID or voter registration card to vote.

After prompting to clarify with the clerk, a voice in the background responded, “No ID is required to vote.”

Seems this little fact should be made known to the clerk’s staff and especially the very necessary volunteer election judges.

New jobs for pols

To the Editor: Having just voted, I was thinking about how many of the GOP field of candidates would better serve the country in better roles.

If Donald Trump wins the election, I think Gov. Chris Christie would be an excellent choice for vice president.

Dr. Ben Carson would be an excellent choice for UN ambassador, or as secretary of health, education and welfare. Ted Cruz would be excellent as defense secretary.

And I have even chosen the perfect job for Hillary Clinton – ambassador to Libya – but “what does that matter?”

I would make Al Sharpton ambassador to Zimbabwe, and the good Rev. Jesse Jackson finally could turn into a good reverend instead of the intolerant person he is by going to the land of Oz.

Oh, and one more thing, instead of building a wall between us and Mexico, we should build a wall around Washington, D.C., which, over the past eight years, has brought so much disharmony among honest and decent people everywhere. So much hatred.

That’s not what made America great.

As for President Barack Obama’s next job, maybe he could clean the White House’s bathrooms. God help us if Clinton wins.

Parade canceled without notice To the Editor: The Rotary Club’s St. Patrick’s Day parade was canceled because of rain March 13. It would have been nice of the Rotary Club to have someone at the East Campus parking lot advising people who did show up that the

parade was canceled.

While our color guard from the Polish Legion of American Veterans did have some members cancel because of the weather, we had two people who did go to East Campus for the parade. The only way they found out about the cancellation was from one of our PLAV members, who looked it up on Facebook and let them know. Something to remember is that not everyone is on Facebook.

Our two color guard members had to walk back to our club anyway, so they had their own two-person parade, with the American Flag, right down the middle of Green Street.

Thumbs way up to our color guard members, and thumbs down to the Rotary Club for not having someone at the parade site to say it was canceled.

It seems like only yesterday – and in diplomatic terms it was – that the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress were assuring us the nuclear deal with Iran was something to celebrate, as one might laud the winning of a Nobel Peace Prize.

More sober thinkers, fearing Tehran would never comply with the agreement, envisioned Iran gaining access to $100 billion in frozen assets and using it to underwrite terrorism.

When Iran’s radical leaders believe they get their marching orders directly from Allah, there is no way they would violate those instructions, which include the eradication of Israel and the defeat of the “Great Satan,” which would be America.

Last week, as part of a military exercise, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard launched several mediumand short-range missiles capable of

McHenry Garden Center latest company to convert mowers to cleaner fuel source

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com McHENRY – For roughly the past 20 years, business operated as usual for Phil Hagen and his landscaping company McHenry Garden Center.

Like many in the industry, the McHenry-based contractor relied on gas-powered mowers to cut and manicure clients’ lawns as prices consistently rose at the pump and societal awareness of the environment evolved.

But the tried-and-true methods at McHenry Garden Center all started to change last fall when Hagen began a conversion to alternative propane mowers after finding work in the North Shore city of Lake Forest and learning about its pollution and noise regulations for the first time.

“We wanted to do it the right way,” Hagen said. “Propane is going to be the way of the future. In other countries, they’ve been running propane in cars and trucks for years. We are behind the times.”

After researching and meeting with sales representatives, manufacturers and propane distributors, Hagen earlier this month received a new fleet of 10 propane-powered mowers in time for the spring, when business picks up for landscaping companies.

And after all the studying, he doesn’t understand why it took him so long to convert to propane.

With the help from governmental grants, private businesses, park districts, school districts and other public agencies over the past few years slow-

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Phil Hagen, president of McHenry Garden Center, unloads a new propane mower at his business in McHenry. The landscaping company now is using propane mowers as part of its effort to turn environmentally friendly and reduce business costs. ly have started switching equipment, trucks and cars to propane-powered engines – a trend largely influenced by rising gasoline costs.

In 2012, Cary Park District, which also has propane mowers, converted some of its trucks to a dual-fuel system that relies heavily on the alternative fuel source. More than a dozen vehicles at the McHenry County Conservation District also use propane for power.

Tasked with taking care of the land, more landscaping companies recently have converted mowers to the cleaner fuel.

Mike Halloran, who owns Mow-

erworks Gravely of Chicago in Barrington, has seen more landscapers gravitate to the cleaner and cheaper alternative fuel within the past two years after he started selling propane mowers in the late 2000s.

The propane-powered mowers, he said, reduce emissions, generally lower a business’ fuel costs up to 40 percent, last longer than traditional gas engines and require far less maintenance.

Halloran dealt Hagen his fleet of propane Gravely mowers.

“From a shop point of view, the main thing is the engine is going to last twice as long,” Halloran said. “On the main-

tenance end of it, you can cut your oil changes in half.”

A cleaner fuel source, propane allows a growing number of landscaping companies to tout its environmentally friendly business practices. Aside from positive marketing, propane cuts costs, and minimizes fuel and maintenance expenses on mowers that companies often run all day.

In 2014, Erik Ringstrand experimented with one propane lawn mower for his crew to try at Ringers Landscaping in Fox River Grove. He converted his business’ entire fleet by 2015.

Although business savings do come with a transition to propane, Ringers Landscaping always wanted to convert to the cleaner source as part of its environmental business philosophy, Ringstrand said. The company even employs a sustainability director who is tasked with identifying more efficient practices and setting goals for the business to achieve them.

The conversion to propane mowers so far has saved Ringers Landscaping $10,000 annually in fuel costs, cut down on maintenance and extra fill-up trips since the propane is stored directly on site.

Propane also allows the business to differentiate from competitors, he said.

Customers have embraced the change since they find value in companies that want to better the environment.

“Mowing the lawn is mowing the lawn,” Ringstrand said. “If it’s the same price for customers, why not use a contractor who is more environmentally friendly?”

Alabama begins work on beachfront hotel using BP money

By JAY REEVES The Associated Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – After a court fight and years of trying to rebuild a beachfront lodge destroyed

by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, Alabama has begun construction on a multimillion-dollar hotel and conference center that will be partially funded by money from another Gulf Coast disaster: the BP oil spill.

Initial work has started on the new conference center at Gulf State Park just weeks after a federal judge

blocked the state from paying for the work with money from BP, the director of the project, Cooper Shattuck, said Thursday.

Shattuck said the work is legal because the judge only shut the lid on one pot of BP money and the project is being funded from another pile of BP money.

A group that sued over the project, the Gulf Restoration Network, conceded that the funding mechanism is legal but called the move disappointing nonetheless.

“As we said before, there were no

hotels or conference centers damaged by the BP oil disaster,” said Cyn Sarthou, executive director of the Gulf Restoration Network.

The state is building a 350-room hotel and conference center beside the Gulf of Mexico, where oil and tar balls washed ashore after a BP oil well exploded off the coast of Louisiana six years ago, dumping about 134 million gallons of crude into the sea.

Combined with other work, the total cost is projected at $135 million.

The new hotel – which will include conference space to accommo-

date 1,500 people – will replace an old state lodge that was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and demolished years before the oil spill occurred.

Shattuck, a University of Alabama attorney tapped by Gov. Robert Bentley to direct the project, said workers recently started restoring sand dunes and working on the foundation for the new hotel, located between the tourist towns of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. The cities have lacked adequate beachfront meeting space for years.

The key to putting stress to work for you is to understand the stress you experience and create strategies to manage it.

You either can view stress as a negative and try to avoid it at all costs or make it a normal part of life and harness it for good. And strategies exist to help you put stress to work.

Know thyself

Take notice of your automatic responses to stressful situations. Do you want to shut down or ramp up?

Practice putting your automatic response on pause. Take a deep breath and notice what is really happening.

You have an opportunity to respond with a healthy choice rather than react impulsively.

Perhaps you should say, “no, not now” to new opportunities, so you can say, “yes” to your current priorities and commitments.

Inventory your stressors

Take an inventory of your top 10 daily, weekly and monthly stressors.

What are the places, people and situations that cause you to feel stressed?

Analyze how many of these stressors are self induced.

You may be setting unrealistic deadlines or attempting to do everything by yourself. You may not have set firm boundaries.

Next to the list of stressors, you should match up ideas about how you can balance and reduce their effects.

Remember small changes over time lead to big results.

Evaluate your tribe

Work and life are hard but suffering through them is optional. If you feel stressed and burned out, ask yourself why.

Evaluate the negative situations and

people that cause you to experience stress.

Avoid the toxic “drama leader” who thrive on infecting others with stress.

Spend your time with resilient people who are positive and upbeat about life.

It will rub off on you.

Put stress to work as a force for good

Use stressful situations to inspire and motivate you to accomplish difficult projects, break a circle of procrastination and expand your comfort zone.

Make a commitment to rise above your current circumstances and harness stress as a normal, positive and healthy part of business and a successful life.

Congratulations! You just received a promotion, started a business or bought a new home. You are achieving the goals you set, so this should be a great time in your life, right? Why then are you so stressed out?

There is a myth that only negative situations, such as the loss of a job, a company reorganization or a major life event, can cause stress.

The reality is any change in life – good or bad – creates stress. And the effect on our workforce and population is alarming.

Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or pressure.

No one is immune to stress.

The American Medical Association estimates stress is a factor in more than 75 percent of illnesses and it influences three out of four doctor visits.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration determined stress in the workplace costs American companies more than $150 billion a year in absenteeism and lost productivity.

If left unchecked, chronic stress can lead to serious health problems, such

Job scams represent the worst of worst Dear Dave,

I’ve always wanted to work from home. How can I separate the scams online and on T.V. from the real jobs where I can make money?

– Randy

Dear Randy,

The vast majority of things you see in late-night infomercials and online – except of course for legitimate job hunter sites – are scams.

I’m talking about the business-ina-box kind of stuff and everything else.

And I know you’ve seen the postings online that go something like, “My sister-in-law makes $50 an hour from home, and you can, too!”

These scammers are the worst of the worst. Don’t waste a second of your time on that garbage.

My biggest worry is you’re looking at your career the wrong way. Just making money shouldn’t be the measuring stick of success in your professional life. Wheth-

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey er you’re going to start a home business or work in an office for someone else, your work should engage you in doing something you know about and love.

You spend too many hours of your life at work to be miserable in what you do. Shuffling day after day through a job you don’t like – even one with a big paycheck attached – also is a bad idea. Sooner or later, the fact that you don’t like your work is going to catch up with you on the job and at home.

Think of something you love to do, then get creative and find a way to make money at it. It may mean turning a hobby into a part-time gig on nights and weekends for starters. Who knows, with a lot of hard work and a little creativity, you

could be your own boss in no time.

– Dave

Dear Dave,

My dad and I have been having arguments over real estate and money. My wife and I are 33, and we have a rental property. We were trying to decide whether to sell the rental to pay down on our home.

My dad has been very vocal about what he thinks we should do, and it’s starting to cause problems in our relationship. The two homes are our only debt, and we make $110,000 a year.

We owe $132,000 on our residence and $80,000 on the rental. We could sell the rental for around $160,000. What do you think we should do?

– Ricky

Dear Ricky,

I wouldn’t sell the rental today, but it’s definitely a strong consideration in the future. You wouldn’t realize enough from its sale to pay off it and your home at this point, so work

aggressively toward paying down the mortgage on your home.

When you get far enough down that the sale of the rental would pay it off, go for it if that’s what you both want. You’re doing really well financially for a couple your age in San Diego.

Now, let’s talk about something else for a moment.

I would love for you to listen to your dad for advice, but I would not be arguing with him about what you are going to do with your money.

You’re a man. I don’t know if you just used the incorrect word there for how the discussion went down but if not, I wanted to correct that as a boundary issue in your family.

Keep up the good work, Ricky.

– Dave

Child’s guardians will decide who has contact with girl Dear Abby: In 2004, my husband and I were contacted by a friend who had gotten into an abusive relationship and lost custody of her daughter. She asked us to go through social services and adopt her little girl, so at least she would know her baby was loved and well taken care of.

Long story short, we did everything we could, but in the end we lost our battle. The grandparents were involved and took over. It was heartbreaking after a year and a half of loving the girl to have to let her go.

My niece works at an ice cream shop and saw our precious one recently. Would it be wrong to contact her and her grandparents now that we know they are in town? I’d love to visit and form a relationship, but don’t know if it would be appropriate. – Hurting In Colorado Dear Hurting: Not knowing how bitter the “battle” to keep your friend’s

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips child was, it’s hard to say how the grandparents will react if you reach out. I suppose it couldn’t hurt to try – but do it via a letter so they have the option of contacting you or not.

Do NOT contact the girl without their permission, because they could perceive it as threatening.

Dear Abby: One of my co-workers, “Liz,” lost her mother and an aunt to breast cancer. She had genetic testing done and found she carries the breast cancer genes. As a precaution, she had a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy.

Since her surgery, she has been attending Relay For Life events and has been walking in the “survivor

lap.” There has been a huge backlash here in the office because people think Liz is misrepresenting herself as a cancer survivor. They are being cruel and calling her a liar, not so much to her face, but all over social media. I wonder if you think it is appropriate for her to call herself a survivor? – Conflicted In California Dear Conflicted: Considering her family history and what genetic testing revealed about her chances of suffering the same fate as her mother and her aunt, what Liz did seems prudent to me. That her co-workers would trash her on social media is appalling. What horrible people they must be. I think the woman has suffered enough to walk a victory lap without being criticized for it – don’t you?

Dear Abby: My wife and I have been married 13 years. Of the two of us, I am the more organized. Before

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

we married, she warned me that she kept a messy bedroom. Well, that has been confirmed!

Recently we had an argument about her clothes. After two weeks of her clean clothes lying on the floor and my asking her to pick them up, I took matters into my own hands. She caught me in the act, and we both vented our frustrations. I explained that my environment affects my peace of mind. She called me “controlling.”

I’m not sure how to compromise and resolve this. I want to keep a clean house. She wants me to leave her things alone. Any suggestions? –

Ready To Throw In The Towel Dear Ready: Yes – separate bedrooms.

settled them down and gave us confidence. His performance was key, letting everyone take a deep breath and relax.”

The Tigers (1-1) came back with two unearned runs in the first, then added another in the third on Adam Wittenberg’s second RBI single.

“We just didn’t give up and got some runs early,” Wittenberg said.

“That kind of got us back into the game. We didn’t get our heads down or anything.”

Burlington’s Anthony Larson relieved for starter Craig Schuring in the fifth and worked two scoreless innings. Central got a pair of singles off Larson in the sixth, but he struck out the next two batters on six pitches.

The Tigers took four called third strikes in the final three innings.

“We were on the patch, I really thought we were going to get it done,” Mueller said. “The key was we lost our aggressiveness at the plate.

I was concerned how our approach at the plate seemed to change in the fifth and sixth innings, maybe that’s

a credit to their pitchers. We were taking more pitches and took some called third strikes.”

Schuring, Larson and Kyle Creadon combined to allow six hits and one earned run for the Rockets (1-0).

“We have high expectations for Craig this year, he’s going to be a pretty good pitcher,” Rockets coach Kyle Nelson said. “He threw three pitches for strikes and commanded the count for most of the game. Anthony Larson was absolutely huge. He’s kind of a cool customer, he doesn’t let things get to him.”

Burlington took advantage of three walks and an error for two more runs in the sixth inning. The Tigers beat Lakes, 11-1, Friday and have allowed only one earned run in their two games.

“That’s a positive,” Mueller said.

“But we have to catch it and throw it better. Maybe it’s a matter of getting more outside every day instead of fielding balls off the gym floor and getting comfortable.”

VIEWS Jon Styf honor. We have a process for that, taking into account coaches’ opinions, season stats and, yes, the points many of you made on Twitter.

But we know that many, such as Piotrowski, care. That’s why we take the voting and selection process seriously.

We choose one winner and a team, the same size as any area team, filled with what we believe are the best area athletes.

We plan to publish our Wrestler of the Year and All-Area team in the paper March 29.

But this year, we’re also taking another step forward with these honors.

On June 7 at the Woodstock Opera House, we will be hosting an awards show to honor the best high school sports achievements of the year.

Our Wrestler of the Year will be invited. So will our other three winter Athletes of the Year, our nine winners already announced from the fall season and the top three candidates for all seven of our spring sport honors. Those spring athlete of the year honors will be announced for the first time that night, just like our all-sport boys and girls athlete of the year.

We’ll invite each of our athletes of the month, voted by our readers, along with the winners of the Fox Valley Conference all-sports trophy, our Courage Award, Sportsmanship Award, Team of the Year and Lifetime Achievement Award.

We’ll also be inviting you, the

public.

The goal is to make it one night that honors the best from the athletic year, which will conclude that weekend with the Class 3A and 4A softball and baseball finals.

So mark that date on your calendar, and if you’ve won one of the awards I mentioned, expect to get an invitation to the event.

And if you have a good suggestion for a name, tell us that too. We’re still deciding that part.

Plan to wear something nice and shake hands with Joe Stevenson as you accept your award. We hope you can make it.

SOFTBALL: RICHMOND-BURTON 11, WOODSTOCK 1 (5 INN.)

Rockets’ Schwegel no-hits Blue Streaks in five-inning victory

By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Richmond-Burton pitcher Sophie Schwegel hit the first batter she faced Saturday (on the first pitch), and walked the next two.

But after allowing the first three Woodstock batters to reach base, Schwegel – who struggled at times last season with control as a freshman and at other times displayed “no-hit” stuff – settled down considerably.

Sophie Schwegel struck out Schwegel the next two batters on six consecutive pitches, and allowed only one run to score in the first inning (on a bases-loaded walk). From there, Woodstock had little chance against the sophomore with a rising fastball and hard-dropping curve.

In her second start of the season, Schwegel struck out nine and didn’t allow any hits to the Blue Streaks in an 11-1 nonconference softball win in five innings.

“I’ve just been working on my accu-

Schwegel didn’t know she had a no-hitter during the game, and was surprised to hear about it after the game, too. racy, and know if it’s right in the zone, it’s unhittable,” said Schwegel, who has 13 strikeouts in 72/3 innings in two games. “I was just thinking, ‘Throw it, and if they (Woodstock) hit it, that’s why you have a defense to help behind you.’ ” While Woodstock struggled to make contact and put only six balls in play,

Schwegel did get some timely help from her infield defense in the seven-batter first inning. Freshman second baseman Abby Hayden ranged to her left and made a lunging catch with two outs and the bases loaded to keep the score tied, 1-1, heading into the second.

It was the only ball hit by Woodstock (1-2) that looked like it might drop in for a hit. A total of eight batters reached base on seven walks and a hit-by-pitch for the Streaks, but half of those came in the first.

Hayden had three assists and one putout on defense. The other putout was a fly ball to centerfielder Alexa Rodriguez.

“She definitely likes base runners,” R-B coach Stephanie Hutchinson joked after her team’s second victory in as many days. “Last year was a rough season for her (Schwegel), just being a freshman. Now she’s starting to mature, and come down (with her pitches). She’s starting to put it together and figure stuff out, hitting her spots more.”

Offensively, R-B broke things open in the the third with nine runs on seven hits.

The Rockets sent 12 batters to the plate, with the first seven getting on base. Hayden, Hailey Hildebrandt, Haylie Regnier and Riley Herrick all had run-scoring hits.

Herrick, a freshman, had a two-run single to push the Rockets lead to 5-1, and Regnier looped a single into shallow left field to score Turner and make it 6-1.

In all, the Rockets collected 11 hits.

On defense, they didn’t commit any errors.

“She was throwing hard today, and we just had difficulty hitting her,” Woodstock coach Steve Beard said.

“We had a bad third inning, but if you take that away, I think it’s a much more competitive game. We left quite a few runners on base today, we didn’t come up with a hit when we needed to.”

Hildebrandt and Haylie Regnier each had three hits and two RBIs for R-B, while Schwegel was 2 for 4 with a double and two steals. Rodriguez, Kaitlin Regnier and Alex Hilton each scored twice.

Woodstock Joanna Watson’s bases-loaded walk that scored Abby Primus accounted for the Streaks’ only run.

The video, posted by classmate Ethan Routzahn from what appeared to be the Prairie Ridge cafeteria, showed wrestler Travis Piotrowski standing atop a table at school and asking classmates to vote for him for Wrestler of the Year.

A day earlier, we had posted a Twitter poll asking for fan input as we voted on the wrestling honor, and the response was unreal. Almost 1,500 votes happened, including a flurry after Piotrowski’s speech, and the undefeated state champ won that poll.

He got my vote. I had already decided that before the video, simply because I thought Piotrowski was the strongest and most technically sound wrestler I saw from the area this year, after watching him at regionals, sectionals and the state meet.

4 OLYMPIC SWIMMING

Prairie Ridge’s Tarazi qualifies for Olympic Trials

By JON STYF jstyf@shawmedia.com

Valerie Tarazi wasn’t feeling great.

Her knee hurt. Her warmup was bad and the half hour before her race felt like days.

On Wednesday night, in the 100-meter breaststroke final at the NCSA Championships in Orlando, Florida, the Prairie Ridge sophomore had finished .09 of a second short of qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Trials.

So Friday night, she was given a time trial opportunity to make up that fraction of a second – in the pool, by herself, swimming in front of packed stands at the YMCA of Central Florida between that night’s finals and awards ceremony.

When Tarazi got on the blocks, she felt a rush of confidence. Nine times before, she had attempted this swim. Nine times before, she had come up just short, many within a tenth of a second or less.

She dove into the water, and as she rose out of the water, it felt terrible again. She couldn’t “feel” the water. As she made her one turn of the long-course swim, she caught a glimpse of a few friends from Wisconsin and St. Charles cheering her on.

It propelled her. The place was loud as she rushed toward the wall, going full bore after noticing on video that she had sized up her finish and slowed down late at that moment Wednesday.

She lifted her head out of the pool as the crowd erupted. Since she was 14, when she had come a second short of the Trials, Tarazi had dedicated her life to this moment.

“I noticed that almost every single person in the facility was standing on their feet screaming,” Tarazi said. “I couldn’t stop smiling.”

Two hours of morning swims at Health Bridge. Training at Davis Speed Central three or four times a week. Then two more hours of training with the Mundelein Mustangs. All with a strict low carb diet, one that didn’t allow her to indulge her three-month craving for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Tarazi saw her time, 1:10.87, and was beaming. She was 0.62 of a second faster than the Trials cut.

“For me, as a coach, there’s nothing better than seeing the look on that kid’s face when their dream is accomplished,” coach George Keenan said.

Then Tarazi rose out of the pool and broke routine. Instead of heading to the cool down pool, she went to Keenan – who had just run the 50-meter pool and back next to her while screaming encouragement – and gave him a huge hug.

The two had worked together since Tarazi was 8 and Keenan coached at the McHenry County YMCA. She said she saw tears in his eyes. He denied it.

BOTTOM: Tarazi with coach George Keenan after qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Trials on Friday night in Orlando.

It was Tarazi’s moment, her dream had come true, and she had done it while tying the 61st fastest time swam in the event by any 15- or 16-year-old girl since 1981.

Two months earlier, Tarazi remembered a morning practice with Keenan where she was in an overall bad mood and just didn’t want to be there.

At that moment, she told him this better be worth it.

On Saturday, the answer was clear.

“It all paid off,” Tarazi said.

For years, Tarazi has worked without allowing herself a “cheat day.”

But Friday night, despite having a 200 individual medley final Saturday, she stayed up late. And she broke her diet.

It wasn’t for a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, though. She chose a hot fudge sundae.

Bears tight end Zach Miller (86) celebrates a touchdown with his teammates during the second half of a Dec. 13 game against the Washington Redskins at Soldier Field.

BEARS

Needs still there on offense With Bennett, Forte gone, TE and RB in focus as areas for Bears to add

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com Ryan Pace signed five new players, re-signed nine others and traded one starter during the first week of the 2016 league year, shoring up some areas of need for the Bears while also highlighting how he can attack the draft.

The Bears are in good position to draft ‘best player available,’ and could certainly keep adding veterans during this next wave of free agency. Now that we’ve had some time to breathe, let’s re-evaluate where the Bears stand at each position on offense, six weeks before the NFL Draft.

Quarterback: No change, here. One report indicated the Bears showed interest in former Packer (now Colt)

Scott Tolzien, but it appears they’ll enter the draft with Jay Cutler, David Fales and Matt Blanchard.

Nothing has happened to alter the possibility of taking a QB at No. 11 to be Cutler’s heir apparent, or for finding that player in the middle rounds who could also compete with Fales to be the No. 2.

Running back: Matt Forte is now a Jet, and the Bears, surprisingly, aggressive were trying to sign C.J. Anderson to an offer sheet, but he’s staying in Denver. The interest in Anderson didn’t jibe with the confidence the front office has shown in Jeremy Langford, but this position still has a glaring need. Lance Dunbar visited Halas Hall before re-signing with Dallas, so Pace is doing his homework on backs. The Bears can’t replace what they got from Forte, but

this position is worse without him, and another runner is still needed.

Receiver: The only real difference here is that we know for a fact Alshon Jeffery will be a Bears receiver in 2016. The decision to resign Marc Mariani adds depth to go along with returning wideouts Kevin White, Eddie Royal and Marquess Wilson. If everyone is healthy (big ‘if’), this is a deep position, and a team strength, but with the way things went last year, the Bears could certainly stand to add here, including finding a speedster to compete in the return game, which may include bringing back Deonte Thompson.

Tight end: Re-signing Zach Miller to a three-year deal is extremely important, considering the Bears traded one of the game’s best all-around tight ends in Martellus Bennett. Mill-

er is an above-average receiving tight end, but he is not at Bennett’s level in terms of blocking, and neither is Khari Lee, Rob Housler or Gannon Sinclair, the other three tight ends on the Bears’ roster for 2016. No. 2 tight end might be the Bears’ biggest need on offense.

Offensive line: The Bears needed one starter, and they signed Bobby Massie. Done and done … maybe.

Massie will start at right tackle, moving Kyle Long back to right guard.

How comfortable are the Bears with Charles Leno last he starting left tackle? Pace speaks like he is, but what if a blue-chip blind-side tackle is there at No. 11? Are the Bears set with Hroniss Grasu at center, without bringing in any competition? The need up front for starters is low, but depth still has to be added here.

12 MEN’S BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Hoosiers top Wildcats for Sweet 16 berth The ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa – Kentucky had the stars. But Indiana had more toughness – and that’s why the Hoosiers are headed back to the Sweet 16.

Freshman Thomas Bryant scored 15 of his 19 points in the final eight minutes, Yogi Ferrell had 18 and fifth-seeded Indiana beat Kentucky 73-67 Saturday to earn a spot in the East Region semifinals in Philadelphia.

The Hoosiers (27-7) are back in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2013 despite losing starting guard Robert Johnson to an apparent left ankle injury late in the first half.

Raleigh, North Carolina, Brice Johnson had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and No. 1 seed North Carolina pulled away from foul-hit Providence.

Joel Berry II added 15 points for the East Region’s top seed, which found itself in a fight well into the second half against the Friars’ high-scoring duo of Ben Bentil and Big East player of the year Kris Dunn. But the Tar Heels (306) stepped up their offensive efficiency, attacked the paint and started cashing in at the line as the fouls piled up for Providence (24-11).

Moines, Iowa, Wayne Selden Jr. and Perry Ellis carried Kansas on a sweet romp to the round of 16, combining for 43 points in a victory by the Jayhawks over Connecticut in the second round on Saturday to hand Kevin Ollie his first NCAA Tournament loss as coach of the Huskies.

Selden had 22 points and seven rebounds, Ellis scored 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds and the No. 1 overall seed Jayhawks (32-4) advanced to the South Region semifinals Thursday in Louisville, Kentucky, to play the winner of the Hawaii-Maryland game on Sunday.

Miami 65, Wichita State 57: At Providence, Rhode Island, maybe it was the technical against Miami coach Jim Larranaga. Maybe it was Sheldon McClellan repeatedly yelling in the huddle: “We’re not losing this game!”

Whatever it was, Angel Rodriguez made sure the Hurricanes would play another day.

The smallest guy on the court, Rodriguez played large on Saturday. He took over after Miami blew the 21-point lead that he pretty much had created, hitting a big 3-pointer with 72 seconds remaining and scoring 28 points to lead the third-seeded Hurricanes over

BLACKHAWKS

Blackhawks newcomer. He has three goals and an assist in nine games with the Hawks, and has developed instant chemistry with center Teuvo Teravainen.

And it’s not just that Fleischmann is scoring. It’s how he’s scoring.

In Boston, he took a deft pass from

Teravainen and snapped a shot past Tuukka Rask. In Dallas, he skated through three Stars and turned Jason Spezza inside out before sniping a shot on the far side. And in Winnipeg on Friday night, he faked a shot, got Ondrej Pavelec to bite, and made a slick move around him for a goal.

Nobody wanted Tomas Fleischmann.

Nobody wanted a 31-year-old winger coming off an eight-goal season, a guy who was traded late in the season and was just a bit player in the Anaheim Ducks’ postseason run, a guy who made $4.5 million a year in his last contract.

So despite being a two-time 20-goal scorer, Fleischmann resorted to signing a professional tryout contract with the Montreal Canadiens in summer, usually the last resort for aging veterans clinging to their fading NHL careers.

Well, Fleischmann should have no such problems this summer.

“I think he’s opened a lot of eyes at how skilled he is,” Patrick Kane said.

“You can see the skill. Very patient with the puck. He can make plays that not a lot of guys can make in this league, and he’s confident with it, too. Pretty good pickup.”

Yeah, pretty good. While Andrew Ladd was the Hawks’ big trade-deadline splash, and Dale Weise was the bigger name in the deal that brought him and Fleischmann to Chicago, Fleischmann has been the most impressive

It’s the kind of skill that made him a 27-goal scorer with the Florida Panthers in 2011-12, when he was skating on a line with Kris Versteeg. And it’s the kind of skill that thrives in the Hawks system.

“It does open up my game a little bit,” Fleischmann said. “I really like [playing with Teravainen]. He’s a pretty smart centerman, so he can make a nice play in the middle and in tight areas, too. It’s fun giving-and-going with him.

It’s what I like, and it’s working so far.”

Fleischmann has made himself useful in other ways, too, joining the Hawks’ penalty-kill rotation, and faring well in the team’s third-line role – a hybrid of scoring line and checking line.

Now with his former Montreal linemate Dale Weise on his line, the Hawks have a third line that’s effective at both ends of the ice.

Fleischmann’s addition has Teravainen playing his best hockey of the season, too.

Freed up from an ill-fitting role on the wing of a defensive-minded line, Teravainen is back at center with a pair of offensive-minded linemates. Since the trade, Teravainen has a goal and five assists.

SPORTS BRIEFS Sale, Kershaw nearly have same line, White Sox beat Dodgers

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Chris Sale pitched 51/3 innings and Clayton Kershaw went nearly that far in a matchup of aces Saturday, with the White Sox beating the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-2.

Sale made his Cactus League debut after pitching in a “B’’ game earlier in the week. He allowed two runs and six hits, walking one and striking out three. The lefty is set to start on opening day.

Kershaw gave up two runs and six hits, walking none and striking out four. Jerry Sands and Tyler Saladino hit RBI singles in the second. Alex Guerrero hit a solo homer off Sale in the fourth.

Eastern Conference.

The Bulls were playing without Pau Gasol (right knee swelling) and E’Twaun Moore (left hamstring).

The Bulls had an 87-73 edge midway through the fourth, but had to survive a 10-2 Utah run to hang on for the win.

Dillon surges past Busch on last lap in Xfinity thriller

FONTANA, Calif. – Austin Dillon passed Kyle Busch and Daniel Suarez on the final lap and surged to an improbable victory in the Xfinity Series race Saturday.

Busch got within two miles of his record-tying fourth consecutive Xfinity win after leading 133 of the 150 laps, but the defending Sprint Cup Series champ blew his left front tire while attempting Rose scores 22 to lead to save fuel.

Bulls to win over Jazz Suarez briefly went in front while Busch CHICAGO – Derrick Rose scored 22 attempted to keep racing on the sparking points to lead the short-handed Bulls to flat wheel. But when Suarez ran out of a 92-85 victory over Utah on Saturday, gas, Dillon roared to his seventh career snapping the Jazz’s four-game winning victory in his Richard Childress Racing streak.

Chevrolet in thrilling fashion.

Taj Gibson had 15 points and 10 Dillon set a record for fewest laps led by rebounds, and Nikola Mirotic added 15 a winner. He also survived a scrape with points for the Bulls.

Rose was 10 for 15 from the field as the the wall on the final turn while getting Bulls won their second straight. The Bulls around Busch.

New trends a chance to update decor

By KIM COOK The Associated Press

F

or some people, spring cleaning entails not much more than a good shake of the carpets. For others, it’s an excuse to update room décor.

Here’s a sampling of this season’s new palettes, patterns and styles:

Colors

Neither boring nor drab, new neutrals are about bringing home a sense of calm and comfort. Some pastels are chalkier, like sorbet that’s been given a whisk of cream. Then there are the organic hues of earth, sky and water.

We see neutrals most often in minimalist décor, such as an unglazed, branch-shaped pitcher at CB2 the color of a stormy sea, or Ikea’s trim Mostorp media unit in a soft, rosy hue. Even Le Creuset is offering its signature cast ironware in pale pink and lemon.

Los Angeles designer Joy Cho’s new collection at Target is filled with fun, frothy pieces such as an acrylic side table covered in polka dots, animal figurines in little party hats and printed throw pillows. Warm neutrals – peach, blush, putty, mint and charcoal – contribute to the airy, feel-good vibe.

West Elm has partnered with Roar + Rabbit design studio on a home collection that includes a sexy, midcentury-

modern swivel chair dressed in shades called lichen, nickel or dusky blush velvet.

The energy shifts with several bold hues that ride the current retro wave.

Turquoise, acid yellow, emerald, pink and red are showing up, mostly in accessories and textiles.

Kirstin Hoffman, merchandising director for online decor retailer Dot & Bo, said hot pinks are trending: “Whether they’re incorporated in an accent chair or a planter, the look instantly adds energy to a room.”

A range of new baking items and dish towels at Crate & Barrel come in a yellow as cheery as a sunny-side-up egg.

And you’ll be seeing lots of lush, green, tropical motifs for spring and summer. Beautiful blues – sapphire, navy and a variety of turquoises, teals and pale blues – are strong players on the spring palette. Wisteria has a settee in a rich jewel tone, while Ikea’s got new loveseat covers in deep and delicate blues.

On the surface

Surfaces are the focus in distressed rugs, textured throw pillows, and reliefpatterned and pin-tucked textiles and wall coverings.

Printed, dyed velvets with flora or fauna-inspired patterns are luxe and painterly; Kevin O’Brien and Beacon Hill have collections.

Some furniture designs play with layers and lines. West Elm has a mirror named Tree Ring that fuses mirrored glass with a slice of Vietnamese hardwood. An Indian pouf at the retailer is crafted from chunks of jute and cotton

like a 3-D rag rug.

Cork has popped up in lots of new décor. Accessories in particular lend themselves to the sustainable material’s pleasant feel, but it’s in furniture now, too. Ikea’s new Sinnerlig collection from London designer Ilse Crawford includes stools and benches with cork seats, as well as coffee and dining tables. Cork lampshades at AllModern and Luxe Décor throw a warm light. And check out 1stDibs, Chairish and eBay for ’70s-era vintage cork table lamps.

Mod and modern

On the heels of the midcentury revival, some retailers are banking on the 1980s Italian postmodernist style, known as Memphis, to be the next big thing.

Characterized by bold geometric designs and often clashing colors, it’s not for the faint of heart.

Musician Lenny Kravitz has collaborated with CB2 on a furniture collection inspired by ’70s-era New York club culture and the California music scene.

A white lacquered media cabinet with brushed steel doors and a round, walnuttopped, white coffee table with concealed storage are standout pieces.

Neon-hued acrylic fits the era’s vibe; Land of Nod has flamingo and palm-tree nightlights, while Los Angeles designer Alexandra von Furstenberg displayed a suite of sleek, neon acrylic serveware at the recent NY Now show.

Boho comes home

Free-spirited, colorful and often pattern-happy, bohemian style is easy to embrace. Its influences are global: India, Africa, Latin America. But the eclecticism often comes from a mashup of decorative styles and layered elements.

At NY Now, New York designer John Robshaw showed a collection of softly hued woodblock-printed textiles inspired by the gardens, crafts and clothing seen on his travels in Northern India.

Hudson & Vine stocks a whimsical collection of animals crafted from reclaimed oil drums. Urban Outfitters has African mudcloth-printed bedding from Deny Designs; medallion-printed tapestries, rugs and pillow covers; and a selection of eclectic headboards made from macramé, reclaimed wood, rattan and iron. Homegoods has some carved and painted African objets d’art, trays and vases as well as kuba cloth poufs.

One of Hoffman’s favorite trends this spring is a combination of boho and minimalism. Designs are pared down to core elements – color, pattern and texture.

She suggests getting this eclectic style by using neutrals and accenting furniture with hints of deep indigo.

locks have sprung forward, pitchers and catchers have long since reported, and Easter is just around the corner.

It’s time for spring cleaning, but that doesn’t make it any less of a chore for many people.

Unlike Beth Randall, for whom tidiness comes naturally. For more than a decade, she has run her company, Joe Organizer, helping organize “closets, kitchens, basements, crawl spaces, garages, offices bathrooms, bedrooms, and everything in between.” “[In my own home] I can easily find anything I am looking for in 30 seconds or less [once I get on the right floor],” Randall said.

She recently presented Cleaning 101 at the Huntley library with tips that could help make the work a bit less tiresome.

Cleaning is so much easier when you’re organized, she said. The first and most important step is decluttering – getting rid of items that aren’t needed, used or loved.

“Once you have cleared the clutter, then what’s left is easy to organize because you have so much space,” Randall said. “Then start by living the mantra ‘a place for everything and everything in its place.’ ” Her mantra jibes with a widely popular organization book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” and its follow-up, “Spark Joy” by Marie Kondo.

Kondo suggests that to hold onto items they must “spark joy.”

Continued from page 3 “I really like that terminology,” Randall said. “[But] I firmly believe that her way of organizing (pulling everything together into one big pile at a time) is much more suited for a small living space, [which is] what she is used to in Japan. I think some of her concepts can be relayed to America, but not all.”

Randall suggests setting daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal routines. Daily cleaning should include doing the dishes and sweeping floors, while weekly jobs are laundry, dusting, vacuuming the floors and handling the bathrooms. Dust ceiling fans and vacuum furniture monthly; deep clean appliances and swap out clothes seasonally.

Everyone in the household should be involved, Randall said, equally sharing the responsibility of cleaning.

“Divvy up the chores and make it a family affair,” she said. “Have a chore chart for the kids. Make sure you let them know how appreciative you are.”

When it comes to deep cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, the people behind Algonquin-based cleaning service ProTidy use the “four S” system: spray, scrub, sanitize and shine.

Ben Skonieczny said his wife, Kathy, developed the method after leaving her job as a loan processor to spend more time with her family and began cleaning homes.

More than a decade later, ProTidy employs about 24 staff members and has the capacity to clean 170 houses a week, Ben Skonieczny said.

They start by spraying down the surfaces to pre-saturate surfaces such as the sink, countertops, shower, tub and vanity. The “scrub” aspect means taking a Magic Eraser to loosen up the build-up; “sanitize” involves a Lysol-rinsed terrycloth towel and going back around to remove that buildup.

The fourth step, shine, uses a microfiber cloth to polish everything.

Skonieczny said there’s a different acronym when it comes to the common area living spaces: SMART. Scan each room from top to bottom, maintain the millwork, vents, sills and fixtures, advance through the room with diligence, remain aware and observant to avoid oversights, and triple check to guarantee quality.

Their clients are all different, with some maintaining their homes well between visits, Skonieczny said.

“They could have guests anytime of the week, and their home would look perfect,” he said.

Others scatter clothes, leave dishes out and accumulate clutter.

“It’s really just building a better routine that works, so when you get

the time you can just focus on the surfaces,” Skonieczny said.

Or, he suggests breaking the cleaning down so it doesn’t take a whole day.

His wife has another idea.

“Just hire us,” she said.

In March, savor the flavor together Eating together as a family has many benefits and is key in living a healthier lifestyle. The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines and MyPlate recommendations encourage eating a variety of foods and building a healthier eating style to help avoid being overweight and obesity and to reduce the risk of diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

Also, studies have shown children and teens are less likely to engage in risky behaviors, such as drugs, alcohol and sexual activity, and perform better in school if they share family meals three or more times a week.

This is a great time to focus on eating well because March is National Nutrition Month. Each year, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

sponsors a monthlong campaign to remind the public of the importance of choosing foods wisely, building healthy eating habits and being active. This year’s theme, “Savor the Flavor of Eating Right,” encourages taking time to enjoy nutritious and flavorful foods and to work on healthy eating habits. Why not try this as a family?

The McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) strongly supports family meals. WIC helps eligible pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants and children up to age 5 by offering nutritious foods that target nutrients found to be lacking in the diets of

the population the program serves.

WIC provides foods high in calcium, vitamins and minerals, protein, whole grains and iron. Also provided are fresh, canned or frozen fruits and vegetables. During the summer months, WIC gives coupons to use at the farmers market. Along with healthy foods, the WIC program offers breastfeeding support and nutrition education that focuses on each family.

Families who come to the WIC program learn how to make changes in eating and exercise habits slowly so they are more likely to stick with it. They are encouraged by nutrition experts to develop their own nutrition goals and are offered tools to help reach those goals. Families are

encouraged to see eating together as very important and to start slowly by coming together to eat at least two or three meals a week. WIC offers ways to eat healthy, starting with breastfeeding. Next, parents learn how to add a variety of foods from all food groups.

For information about how WIC can work for you and to find out more about healthy eating, please call the WIC program at 815-334-4505 or visit www.mcdh.info.

Author Spotlight

KENNETH LINDE Hometown: Johnsburg, Illinois Latest Book: “Survivor...Death and How It Saved My Life” Publisher: Amazon Digital Release date: Dec. 1, 2015 Where can we find it? Amazon.com What’s it about?

The book outlines the transition from poverty to comfort and how surviving 70 blood clots in 2010 changed my perspective on life and how important relationships are – with oneself, one’s spouse, children, job, family and friends, hobbies and interests and the universe with detailed references to experts in social relationships. It is not a pontification. Instead it addresses the social aspects from a balanced and nonemotional perspective.

65 books and accumulated more than 5,000 pages of notes on both subjects. In the end, the initial book was too large and was divided into “Survivor...Death and How It Saved My Life” and “Never Say Never...Living With Prostate Cancer, Loving With ED, Learning What Doctors Never Talk About,” which currently is submitted for copyright.

What genre is your book, and why were you drawn to it?

Both books are nonfiction. I was drawn to writing them as a way of learning about what is really important in life physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually.

Who is the intended audience?

The intended audience is anyone who has reached a level of financial success or is strivWhere did the idea come from? ing for financial achievement and when they After the blood clots of 2010, I was diagnosed get there says, “Is that all there is?” with cancer and began studying anatomy and physiology, along with social dynamics Why is this story important to you? and mortality. In so doing, I read more than The stories are important to me as they

allowed me to discern social dynamics and to be more balanced in terms of my perspectives and goals in life, realizing that money and possessions are not as important as family and friends. The second book allowed me to have a better comprehension of the consequences of cancer and how it manifests itself in our day-today, week-to-week, month-to-month existence.

How long did it take you to write? What was your process?

I invested 3½ years researching both topics.

To do so, I relied on a basic set of premises that were developed through the creation of both social and physical dynamics that allowed me to move from one point to the next in an orderly fashion.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book? What was the hardest part?

Knowledge is bliss. It opens doors that have been closed, allowing me to marvel at those who have invested their lives learning and addressing small aspects we all take for granted. Whether it was reading about 150 different religions or studying neurochemistry or molecular biology, the ability to learn and to comprehend to the point of being able to elicit it in terms common to all provided the greatest sense of accomplishment.

The greatest challenge was determining that my venture had to be finite and thus have limits. It could not go one forever! In so doing, points that could have been included

that looked at topics from a micro perspective instead of a macro point of view had to be eliminated.

How are you publishing this book and why (traditional/indie/self-publishing)?

The book is currently only available on Amazon. Upon receiving copyright of the second book, it is my goal to find a publisher that will see the value of the two initial books as assets to individuals in need of social or nonprofessional medical counseling from someone who has been down the road they are about to or recently have traveled.

What is your education/background?

I have a degree in communications from the University of Wisconsin and spent the first five years of my career as a writer for television, radio and advertising.

Have you written anything else?

Numerous poems and literally hundreds of radio and television commercials.

What’s next for you?

I am currently writing a historical fiction book centered on Southwestern Wisconsin from 1821 to 1872 and the dynamics of oppression.

I am about 75 percent completed. ... Beyond that, I have three more historical fiction books outlined that all deal with relationship dynamics predicated on “Survivor...Death and How It Saved My Life.”

The bathroom was easy

How I decluttered the Marie Kondo way

Kondo says sentimental things should be left for last. So I started with the most unsentimental place: the bathroom. There’s no emotion in tossing expired medication, used Ace bandages and unclaimed toothbrushes, or in consolidating half-empty boxes of Band-Aids.

Those baby steps strengthened my discard muscle. Next I said goodbye to fragrances and lipsticks I never use.

In cleaning out, I unearthed a cache of skin creams and cleansers I like. I now keep some handy for daily use, and store others in a beautifully decorated gift box I’d been reluctant to part with. Keeping and using the box this way fit several Kondo principles.

Going Kondo

Reading Marie Kondo’s best-selling books about decluttering is intimidating. I have a complicated relationship with many of my possessions: souvenirs from favorite places, gifts from loved ones. Even if I never use them, how could I part with them? And how could I face my overflowing cupboards and scary closets?

But I got over my fears. Ultimately, Kondo’s books, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” and “Spark Joy,” are not so much about throwing things out as they are about “choosing what we want to keep,” as Kondo puts it.

Here’s what it felt like going Kondo.
