Are batteries weapons of minor destruction?

A TV news clip last month scared the pants off me.

A man in Kentucky was paying for some snacks at a gas station when his pants exploded and caught on fire, and this was all captured on video surveillance cameras. Rather than stop, drop and roll, the man tried to put the fire out with his hands, then he ran outside and took his pants off while store employees used a fire extinguisher to put the fire out.

He literally had the pants scared off him.

The man suffered only second-degree burns on his leg. A good Samaritan took him to the hospital.

The cause of the exploding pants? An e-cigarette. The lithium battery that powers the e-cigarette caught fire and exploded.

According to the Incredible Internet, 22 such fires have been reported since 2008, although an e-cigarette association points out that nine million of the devices are being used, so there’s no cause for alarm.

The man at the gas station could have had coins or keys in his pocket with his e-cigarette, and they could have caused a short, resulting in the explosion and fire. Or he could have bought the wrong battery for the e-cigarette or used the wrong charger.

But the fact is, the battery blew up in his pocket.

Which got me to worrying about my cellphone, which has a battery. I carry it in my pocket, although usually in a pocket that is empty, not because I am afraid of it shorting out but because I have extra pockets in the pants I usually wear to work, and if my cellphone rings, I can easily turn it off without having to fumble through coins or keys.

The Incredible Internet says it’s unlikely your cellphone will catch fire because you have to stab the battery to cause it to catch on fire, and that’s just not going to happen if you use common sense and don’t do something stupid.

Cellphone batteries can become unstable if you recharge them constantly in freezing temperatures, too.

But what are the chances of that happening?

And don’t buy off-brand batteries; you never know what you’re getting.

Our lives run on batteries. We are surrounded by them. In our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. In our remotes. In our wall clocks. In our wristwatches. In our garage door openers.

In our cameras. In our laptop computers. In our cellphones and smartphones. In our alarm

VIEWS Dick Peterson clocks. In our flashlights. In our computer mouses. In toys. And the list goes on and on.

We have gadgets. And they need power.

I had never heard of regular alkaline batteries that we grew up with catching fire, but according to the Incredible Internet, they can explode, which makes me feel good.

Not really. The worst thing I’ve noticed about alkaline batteries is their penchant for leaking if kept in a device that is unused for too long, and that kind of is an explosion, I guess.

You aren’t supposed to carry batteries loose in your pocket, because they can short out and rupture or leak. I do that doubly bad. I carry an extra set of lithium batteries in my pocket when I am using my camera, because you never know when the batteries will die.

There’s no warning; they just stop working.

And if you don’t have an extra set, you’re out of luck, and you’ve missed that next great picture.

But is it worth it to have them explode and catch fire?

I don’t even want to get into car batteries.

They simply scare me. I have jumper cables in case my battery loses its charge or someone needs a jump. It’s the least I can do. And I know how to connect the cables to the proper terminals.

But I’ve heard too many stories of batteries blowing up. Not like little alkaline or lithium batteries, but like bombs, getting battery acid in your eyes and blinding you, and penetrating your body with shrapnel.

That’s never happened to me or anyone I know, but it scares me nonetheless when I’m giving or getting a jump. Those terminals can spark when connected with the cables. Then, pow! I’m always relieved when the other car starts and the cables are back in the trunk.

Batteries are sneaky dangerous. They are abundant and innocuous. And, for good reason, they scare the pants off me. Figuratively speaking, I hope.

A REWARD FOR HIS SERVICE

65th Infantry Regiment to be honored with Congressional Gold Medal

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – Walter McCostlin never talked much about his service in the Korean War. Similar to many veterans of that generation, he kept his stories to himself, save for how he ended up as the sole white kid in an all-Puerto Rican unit. It’s a story that has left more than one acquaintance in disbelief.

But McCostlin will be able to back up that tale next month with a Congressional Gold Medal that will be awarded to surviving members of the 65th Infantry Regiment, known in the history books as the “Borinqueneers.”

Now 81, McCostlin is looking forward to the honor, which will be bestowed upon members of the unit April 13 at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. As much as he would like it, he

is not hopeful that he will run into any of his comrades in arms, whom he has not seen or heard from since.

Even after 65 years, tears are never that far from the surface.

“I don’t think they’re around,” he cried. “It would be a miracle.”

The Borinqueneers – named after the native name for the island – were the sole Hispanic military unit in U.S. history, back when units were segregated by race.

The unit, which served in both world wars and the Korean War,

earned almost 900 medals for valor, and more than 2,700 Purple Hearts, in Korea alone.

One of those Purple Hearts belongs to McCostlin, whose posting to the unit was just a matter of dumb luck or a bureaucratic snafu that every veteran has dealt with.

McCostlin, then 16 years old and a private, was the last soldier on a truck dropping off replacement soldiers along the front-line units in 1951. He jumped off, duffel bag and equipment in hand, and was met by the first sergeant.

It was an interesting first meeting – the first sergeant didn’t speak English and McCostlin, who hailed from Alabama, didn’t speak Spanish. The blonde-haired and blueeyed McCostlin looked nothing like the other men in the company.

“I didn’t understand what he was saying, period,” McCostlin said.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Chicago-area chapter of a group that aims to help women who have survived human trafficking is asking for the public’s help as plans move forward to create a group home in McHenry County.

Refuge for Women is hosting a fundraiser from 6 to 9 p.m. May 14 at the Crystal Lake Country Club, 721 Country Club Road, in hopes of raising $50,000 for a restorative aftercare home, Director Karen Schultz said.

The home will house between four and six women who have been sexually exploited or trafficked to participate in a faith-based 12-step program that spans a year.

The program is designed to help women heal from trauma, become sober, rebuild trust and develop life skills.

“I would invite anyone to be part of something bigger than themselves that has a lasting impact not only on the woman, but on the family as well,” Schultz said.

About 64 percent of the women Refuge for Women helps have children, she said.

The group, which was founded in Kentucky, wants to open a Chicago home in response to the 25,000 women and girls in the area whom have fallen victim to human trafficking annually, she said.

The fundraiser will include stories from Ked Frank, the national director of Refuge for Women. Sharon Irving, a semifinalist from “America’s Got Talent,” will sing.

The event also will feature a silent auction and dinner.

Officials have not disclosed the location of the possible home site because of the confidential nature of the program and to protect its potential residents.

They planned to have a home transferred to the organization, but Schultz said a change of heart by the owners of the original proposed site pushed the group to look at a different home in rural McHenry County. They are aiming for a late-spring opening.

It costs about $300,000 to run the program for a year, which Schultz said includes all programs and salaries for a handful of staff.

Funding to support the program comes solely from donors, partner churches and businesses.

Anyone seeking more information can call 708-380-7419 or email Schultz at karen. refugeforwomen@gmail.com.

Judge Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama’s choice to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court, arrives Wednesday on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., for a meeting with Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which considers judicial nominations.

McConnell has previously said the nominee should be selected by whoever succeeds Obama next January after the presidential election.

A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday found that 62 percent of registered voters said the Senate should consider Garland and a CBS News/New York Times poll said 53 percent of Amer-

icans would like the Senate to vote on the nomination.

Robert Jones, associate professor of law at Northern Illinois University, said the nomination process has become increasingly politicized and contentious over the past three decades – which is consistent with the polarization of Congress.

As some Senate Republicans continue to push against President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, McHenry County attorneys say inactivity in the nomination process could impact future court decisions.

Obama nominated Washington, D.C., appeals court Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court earlier this month after conservative Justice Antonin Scalia’s death in February.

The president’s nomination has met resistance from members of the Republican-controlled Senate, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and key members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Some Republicans, including U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, have requested the Senate vote on the nomination.

Woodstock lawyer Phil Prossnitz said cases that make it to the Supreme Court are there for further guidance. When the court is unable to come to an agreement because there are only eight members, it lessens the value of the decision. “[The district and appellate courts] are looking for direction. If you have meaningless 4-4 splits, no one is going to get any direction,” Prossnitz said.

Jones said while some issues will result in a 4-4 split, in those cases the lower court decision will stand and it will be “as if they just never took the case at all.”

“Those issues might have to come back down the road to the court again so they can decide the issue definitively,” he said.

Crystal Lake attorney Gary Newland said the Constitution intended for the president to pick a Supreme Court nominee and those standing in the way may be putting history aside.

“Sometimes justice delayed is justice denied,” Newland said.

Carlos Arevalo, a Woodstock attorney and recent former president of the McHenry County Bar Association, said while the process should be followed, it is hypocritical for one party to say the other side is the only one who acts in this manner.

“The problem that I have is that the art of compromise is just no longer found,” Arevalo said.

Prossnitz said the issue needs to be less about political games and more about making decisions and doing their jobs.

“The Founding Fathers would be sickened by this gamesmanship,” he said, adding that both Democrats and Republicans have done this in the past.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – After reviewing sign regulations from other area communities, the village will consider amending parts of its sign code to add clarity and content neutrality.

Director of Community Development Dan Olson got approval from the Committee of the Whole to prepare amendments to the ordinance for a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Any proposed amendments will be presented at the April 26 Committee of the Whole meeting.

A memo from Olson said amendments would focus on code for window signs, flashing signs, pennant signs and campaign signs, as well as instructions for calculating sign area.

The document states the review is

meant to “enhance the physical appearance of the village” and ensure the code is in line with the 2015 Supreme Court ruling in Reed v. Town of Gilbert, Arizona, which said that content-based regulations are unconstitutional under the First Amendment.

Olson wrote that enforcement of window signs has been a challenge for village officials.

The code exempts window signs from regulations if they do not exceed 50 percent of the total area of the window, but officials say the code needs more detail on how to measure window sign area.

Several McHenry County municipalities have reviewed their sign ordinances in the past year as a result of the Supreme Court’s ruling.

The ruling was at the heart of a February decision by the village of Cary to not issue citations for two large political signs on Route 14.

D-300 condemns teacher’s pension liability

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Observing a high class size at Perry Elementary School in Carpentersville, where 95 percent of students are considered low income, Community Unit School District 300 this year opted to split the class and hire an additional teacher to ensure that needs were met.

But because the teacher was hired with federal funds – federal money is granted to districts to address supplemental low-income and special education needs – the district is responsible for paying the state just more than 36 percent of that salary to cover pension costs created by the position, said Sue Harkin, District 300 chief operating officer.

That rate is imposed by state law to cover pension costs created by any Illinois Teacher Retirement System member hired with federal dollars, TRS spokesman Dave Urbanek said.

“The rate the Legislature dictates is composed of two parts – the actual amount of money that will pay for the cost of pensions in that year, and the oth-

er part is the ... interest that the state has to pay on our unfunded [pension] liability,” Urbanek said, adding, “It does cost districts a lot of money.”

That’s why District 300 this week unanimously approved a resolution calling upon the Illinois General Assembly and Gov. Bruce Rauner “to remove the ‘unfunded pension liability component’ ” from state law.

School districts have seen the overall contribution rate rise by 343 percent in the past 10 years, the resolution says, and school officials already are expecting a higher rate next year.

The “penalty” limits where districts can spend on services specifically geared toward at-risk students, Harkin said. Urbanek said those at TRS would agree.

“School districts should only have to pay the amount of money that covers the cost of pensions that year, not a problem they didn’t create,” he said. “But we [TRS] were overruled by the Legislature two years ago.”

Further, an amendment to end this practice was filed by an Illinois congressman last year, but later stripped from the Every Student Succeeds Act. ESSA was signed into law by President Barack

Obama in December to replace the No Child Left Behind Act. Urbanek noted that of the about $3.9 billion contributed to TRS this year, the general rule of thumb is that 25 percent will go toward paying the actual cost of pensions this year, while 75 percent represents interest. All of this means districts have to make difficult choices when spending federal dollars, local school officials said.

“Yes, you could probably structure those dollars in a way to minimize that impact, but you may be making choices and buying things that really aren’t evidence-based or proven to be more effective,” Harkin said.

Nearly half of District 300’s student population is considered low-income, and she said research and best practices have shown that certified staff such as interventionists or reading coaches are often the best option to address issues associated with that population. It becomes difficult to avoid spending federal funds on TRS employees, Harkin added.

Throughout McHenry County, however, local officials say it is avoided at all costs.

“Pretty much five years ago, we said anybody applying for federal grant

dollars, you do not want to apply for teachers,” said Mark Altmayer, chief financial officer for Huntley Community School District 158.

In McHenry Community High School District 156, Finance Director Dave Lawson expressed similar sentiment.

“We put [federal funds] into [noncertified] staff,” he said. “Obviously, it would be a lot better to put teaching staff in there because teachers are the ones conducting the classrooms.”

In Woodstock, there are 1.88 teachers and some professional development being funded with federal grants this year, said Woodstock School District 200 CFO Risa Hanson in an email. But the majority is used for noncertified staff and instructional materials to avoid “excessive TRS costs.”

District 200 has nearly 50 percent low-income students, District 156 has about 30 percent, and District 158 has about 17 percent. Federal funding is given based on need.

“This is widespread in that pretty much every district receives federal funding,” Altmayer said. “We’re absolutely aware of this, and nobody’s happy about it.”

WOODSTOCK

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com

John Lieb Woodstock deputy police chief who has more than 27 years of law enforcement experience, runs Breach Point Consulting.

He will give four presentations in November that focus on how to address the consequences of performing well within law enforcement culture.

The sessions also will examine how to balance personal and professional life.

“These are people that are trying to help other people, and so some of those problems from other people affect their lives,” Lieb said. “Our goal is to have healthy officers all around.”

Carolyn Frasor, a training and com-

munity development associate for the Mental Health Board, said the training will take place in four sessions, one of them for law enforcement and their significant others. She hopes to have 75 officers in each training session.

The idea to host the training started with McHenry County Sheriff’s Lt. Jim Wagner.

He said he wanted a program that would combat the forces that lead police officers to take their own lives.

It’s difficult to determine how many police officers commit suicide every year, but one study cited by the International Association of Chiefs of Police estimated there were 126 police suicides in 2012. The agency estimates more officers die by suicide than in on the job incidents.

“We want to provide as much assistance as we can in the hopes that we can prevent police suicide here in McHenry County,” Wagner said. “It’s a hard job and a lot of people suffer in silence.”

WOODSTOCK – Adult & Child Therapy Services will kick off the 2016 golf season with its inaugural Masters-full Viewing Event from 12:30 to 5 p.m.

April 8 at Bull Valley Golf Club, 1311 Club Road, Woodstock.

The event will include a buffet lunch featuring a Masters-themed menu, beverage specials, closest to the pin simulator and putting contests, while watching the Masters Golf Tournament televised live from Augusta, Georgia.

The event also will feature a raffle with prizes that include four tickets to a Chicago Blackhawks game and a Monday Night Football party at BBQ King Smokehouse in Woodstock. The cost is $75.

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Chiefs of Police Associations is giving local officers a chance to reflect.

With $5,200 from the McHenry County Mental Health Board, Bartlett-based Breach Point Consulting will train officers on how to deal with the stress associated with working in law enforcement.

The goal is to help police cope, said Woodstock Deputy Police Chief John Lieb. Lieb also is president of the McHenry County Chiefs of Police Association.

“To me, the program is about giving an opportunity for the individual officers to kind of do a self-evaluation of where they are mentally, emotional[ly], spiritually and physically, and do – in a police sort of way – all the checks and balances,” Lieb said.

Bartlett Police Chief Kent Williams,

Village seeking to claim new residents with special census

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Village officials are seeking to conduct a special census to account for more than 400 additional residents they believe have moved to the village since the 2010 census.

The proposal for the special census was presented by Director of Community Development Dan Olson and advanced by the Committee of the Whole last week.

The special census will take 10 months to complete, and official population numbers will be provided by January 2017.

The census will cost a total of $72,899, with $50,154 of that to be paid upfront.

Based on the Illinois Municipal League estimate that each additional resident will bring the village $142.20

in shared municipal revenues, Olson said the cost of the census should be covered about one year after the count is complete.

If those 400 additional residents are counted, the village would receive more than $56,000 in additional revenue annually.

The cost of the census is projected to be covered by early 2018, and the village would receive $100,000 in additional revenue before the next census in 2020.

The village will request that four census blocks be counted, including areas in The Residences of Lake in the Hills, The Villas of Lake in the Hills and most of The Lakes of Boulder Ridge development.

Unlike Huntley and Woodstock, which may soon become home rule municipalities because of the special census process, Lake in the Hills already is a home rule municipality.

Many renters can actually afford to buy a home, so why don’t they?

If you believe...

• Buying a home requires a large down payment.

• The monthly payments would be too much even if you qualified for a mortgage.

• The benefits of owning a home do not outweight the benefits of renting.

Consider these facts...

• We have loan products that require very little down and no money down for veterans.

JOHNSBURG – The Church Street corridor improvement is a Johnsburg project that has been 20 years and coming, Village President Edwin Hettermann said.

The stretch of Church Street from Spring Grove Road to just east of Johnsburg Road will have segments realigned, and sidewalks and other streetscape improvements made, he said.

“We’re excited about the project, and I think the whole community’s excited about it,” Hettermann said.

There is high traffic on the road that for years people would call the village about to report the potholes, Hettermann said. The only problem was, the road wasn’t in the village’s right of way, he said.

Johnsburg Community Club and St. John the Baptist Catholic Church owned the section of the road in front of

Tim Hartnett, said the village hopes the look of the street will eventually parallel main street. Overall, the project is estimated to cost more than $4 million, he said.

A $1.5 million grant from the McHenry County Council of Mayors, which is 80 percent federal money and 20 percent local funds, is helping pay for the project, Hartnett said.

To break up costs, the project is being broken into segments, with the first and most important segment being the section of the road from Hillcrest to a few blocks east of St. Johns Avenue, he said.

Bids will be released in November and construction could begin early spring 2017, Hartnett said.

When it’s finished, the road will be more safe, with defined entrances and parking to an area busy with schools, churches, parks and community centers, he said.

“That’s really what the community has asked for,” Hartnett said.

This basketball team clearing is not part of NCAA tournament, but Sweet 16? Perhaps. It may seem unusual today to see women athletes donning bows and bloomers, but that was standard practice back in the early 1900s. The Cary Methodist Church basketball team was no exception. Actually, women engaged in varying levels of physical fitness since the late 1800s – promoted, in part, by women’s colleges like Smith, Vassar and Wellesley. Other frequent female pastimes included croquet, tennis, horseback riding and swimming. However, their activities were not sanctioned to be as competitive or as stressful, and typically were of a more intramural or social nature.

which he attributes to post-traumatic stress disorder – a subject veterans in the 1950s didn’t talk about.

He found salvation by enlisting in the Army National Guard, where he stayed for 35 years until retiring in 1990 as a full-bird colonel.

“I guess I existed, that’s all I can say, until 1956. That’s when I went into the National Guard. I found that to be the best therapy I had,” McCostlin said.

McCostlin had no success tracking down any of his former comrades. On a cruise that stopped in Puerto Rico, he said he asked around to find any Borinqueneers – while many locals had relatives who fought with the unit, they had since died, he said.

He said he is very glad the unit is finally getting its due with the recognition. The government and military in recent years have moved to give proper honors to soldiers and units who were denied them because of prejudice.

Congress has bestowed the gold medal to surviving members of the Tuskegee Airmen, Navajo code talkers and Japanese-American soldiers who fought in World War II. “You have to correct your mistakes,” McCostlin said.

by Rolando Izquierdo, MD Throwing Injuries While throwing injuries are most commonly associated with baseball pitchers, anyone who repetitively throws or hits with an overarm motion (tennis players, javelin throwers, etc.) is at risk. The most common of these injuries involves the “ulnar collateral ligament” (UCL), which can become stretched, frayed, or torn through the stress of repetitive throwing motions. The UCL is the triangular ligament that connects the inside of the “humerus” (the upper arm bone) and the inside of the “ulna” (largest forearm bone). While this ligament helps stabilize and support the arm throughout a throwing motion, it can become stretched and tear over time. When pitchers and other athletes feel pain on the inside of their elbows, rest and a medical evaluation are advised.

To provide a definitive diagnosis of a UCL injury, an orthopedic surgeon may order a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or a magnetic resonance arthrogram (MRA) to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out other possible damage. Fortunately, the sports medicine team at ORTHOILLINOIS is dedicated to getting you back to the activities you love as quickly as possible. To learn more, please call 815-398-9491 or see us at 750 E.

gence and recon chief, in charge of surveillance of what the enemy is doing on the front line. War made brothers out of the men fast, even though much of their communication consisted of primitive sign language. The only Spanish words he picked up, he joked, were curse words.

“I felt so comfortable with these guys. I really was set up like a king – I can’t put it any other way,” McCostlin said.

But history shows the treatment of the Borinqueneers by the military – unfortunately, a story shared by other segregated military units – was hardly as welcoming.

In one instance McCostlin remembered, the unit was not allowed to bathe at a shower point on the basis of race – it took a visit from an officer to force their admittance. The shower is the only one McCostlin remembers taking during his year in combat.

His Purple Heart came courtesy of a mortar round that wounded him and several of his fellow soldiers.

McCostlin left Korea in October 1952, after the Army learned he wasn’t 18 – he had lied about his age to enlist. Life in the first years after his honorable discharge wasn’t pleasant. He couldn’t hold down a job and caused trouble,

Nicholas Mstislav Egoroff, of Richmond, Illinois, died March 12, 2016, at Woodstock Hospice Care Center.

He was born July 22, 1930, in Miami Beach, Florida, and served in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. After his military service, he enjoyed an illustrious career in Public Relations, which included serving as Press Secretary to Governor Bill O’Neill of Ohio. While working for the state of Ohio, he was part of the team that created the United States Interstate Roadway System in the 1950s.

In 1960 he moved to Illinois, where he served as Director of Public Relations for Libby McNeil & Libby. He was subsequently named Executive Vice President of the Financial Relations Board in Chicago in 1967.

In 1974 he retired, and fulfilled his dream of living on a sailboat, mostly in the Bahamas.

He always maintained he was never happier than when he was sailing. In 1990 he moved to Richmond, Illinois, to be closer to his daughter and grandchildren. He resided in Richmond until a few weeks before his death.

He is survived by a daughter, Nicola Ann Nelson (Steven) of Woodstock, Illinois; and

Restaurant workers to join Chicago Teachers Union’s strike

CHICAGO – Fast-food workers organized by the Fight for $15 group said they will join the Chicago Teachers Union when its members shut down schools April 1.

Fight for $15 organizers said planning is still underway and it hasn’t been determined how many workers or restaurants will be involved.

The Fight for $15 campaign has held several strikes in Chicago since its launch in 2012. Members demand a $15 wage and union rights in order to end their reliance on food stamps and other public assistance programs.

Teachers voted Wednesday to walk off the job April 1 and close down the schools for the day in a battle with district officials over funding and a new contract. The

Grover Cleveland $1,000 bill among items in state auction

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois treasurer’s office will have a weeklong online auction of unclaimed items, including an O.J. Simpson football trading card, a $1,000 bill with the face of Grover Cleveland, and gold Krugerrands.

They are among 12,600 items worth $57,000 up for grabs in the auction that begins Monday and runs through April 1.

The unclaimed property was turned over to the state treasurer’s office after sitting untouched in safe deposit boxes or storage units for five years. Treasury Department spokesman Greg Rivara said in each case, companies such as banks, insurance companies and brokerage firms could not track down the property owners.

People line up to vote in the primary March 15 at a precinct in Bradfordton. Illinois lawmakers’ budget fight is delaying parts of a new election law. That’s leading officials to warn of long lines, fewer safeguards against voter fraud and other costly headaches in November.

Budget mess could mean long lines, headaches on Election Day The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A sweeping new election law that was intended to increase voter turnout in time for the presidential contest and a critical U.S. Senate race may instead cause greater frustration among voters due to Illinois lawmakers’ inability to agree on a budget, with officials warning of possible long lines, fewer safeguards against voter fraud and other costly headaches come November.

The bill, pushed through the Legislature in the final weeks of Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn’s term, required several changes that traditionally benefit Democrats, such as same-day voter registration and expanded early voting.

While those pieces of the law will be in place come Nov. 8, some local election officials say they’ve stuck with the bill for additional equipment and staffing. And the nearly $4 million state election officials said they’d need in the first two years for other changes wasn’t ap-

proved by the Legislature.

The standoff between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and majority Democrats over the state budget – now approaching its 10th month – has only made matters worse by delaying an overhaul of the state’s voter registration system and data updates that are critical to cleaning up the list of eligible voters.

“This will have consequences on all the election officials in the state, all the county clerks,” said Cook County Clerk David Orr, who advocated for the law. “But the worst part is it has negative consequences on the voters.”

Without the needed funding, state election officials will likely miss critical deadlines, including one to alert more than 2 million people who are eligible to vote but are not registered how they can do so. Three contractors tasked with updating Illinois’ voter registration database haven’t been paid since July 1. They’ve continued to come to work, but “that could change at any moment,” said Kevin Turner, director of in-

formation technology for the Illinois State Board of Elections.

The state also needs money to fully participate in a national information exchange aimed at identifying people who should no longer be on the state’s voter rolls (registered in other states or died outside of Illinois) and to notify local election officials of people who have moved.

All of that could cause unnecessary delays at the polls while election judges register new voters or update registrations – a process that takes 10 to 15 minutes per person.

It also will make the job of cleaning up voter rolls far more difficult. That particularly angers Republicans, who questioned whether the move by Illinois Democrats was politically motivated, given that the U.S. Senate race between Republican Mark Kirk and Democrat U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth could help decide which party controls the chamber.

“That’s the most important part of the whole thing,” Kane County Clerk Jack Cunningham said.

SALEM, Ore. – Officials said threats against police and public officials that started within hours of the Jan. 26 death of ranching standoff leader Robert “LaVoy” Finicum have continued.

The Oregonian reported one anonymous caller threatened to kill Gov. Kate Brown on the day Finicum died.

Earlier this month, authorities documented up to 80 threats against police officers and others.

Finicum was shot by state troopers as he tried to evade arrest. He and others were part of the takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

People line up on the stairs at Garfield High School as they wait to check in for a Democratic caucus Saturday in Seattle. Democrats caucused statewide in support of either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

Sanders wins primary caucuses in Alaska, Wash.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Bernie Sanders scored a duo of wins in Western caucus contests Saturday, giving a powerful psychological boost to his supporters but doing little to move him closer to securing the Democratic nomination.

While results in Washington and Alaska barely dented Hillary Clinton’s significant delegate lead, Sanders’ wins underscored her persistent vulnerabilities within her own party, particularly with young voters and liberal activists who have been inspired by her rival’s unapologetically liberal message. The two Democrats were also competing in Hawaii.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Sanders cast his performance as part of a Western comeback, saying he expects to close the delegate gap with Clinton as the contest moves to the more liberal northeastern states, including her home state of New York.

He also said his campaign is increasing its outreach to superdelegates, the party insiders who can pick either candidate, and are overwhelmingly with Clinton.

“The Deep South is a very conservative part of the country,” he said. “Now that we’re heading into a progressive part of the country, we expect to do much better.”

He added: “There is a path to victory.” With Clinton far in front, however, it is a difficult path.

Clinton anticipated the losses: She barely campaigned in the three states, making just one day of stops in Washington state, and was spending the Easter weekend with her family.

She is turning her focus to the April 19 contest in New York, seeking to win a large share of the delegates at stake and to avoid the blow of losing to Sanders in a state she represented in the Senate. She is trying to lock up an even larger share of delegates in five Northeastern contests a week later, hoping to deliver a big enough haul to unify the Democratic Party and relegate Sanders to little more than a protest candidate.

Sanders, who’s found some success in the industrial Midwest, wants to leverage his working-class support and fiery arguments against free trade into an April 5 victory

in delegate-rich Wisconsin. He also plans to compete fiercely in New York and is pushing for the party to schedule a debate in the state, saying in the interview that it would be “really absurd” if one did not take place.

After Sanders’ two wins on Saturday, Clinton held a delegate lead of 1,234 to 956 over Sanders, according to an Associated Press analysis, an advantage that expands to 1,703985 once the superdelegates are included. It takes 2,383 delegates to win.

Based on the AP count, Sanders needs to win more than 57 percent of the remaining delegates from primaries and caucuses to have a majority of those delegates by June’s end. His bar is even higher when the party officials are considered. He needs to win more than 67 percent of the remaining delegates overall – from primaries, caucuses and the ranks of uncommitted superdelegates – to prevail.

He was unlikely to emerge from his Saturday sweep with significantly more delegates, winning at least 36 delegates to Clinton’s 11 for the day after his victories in Alaska and Washington.

ANALYSIS

Obama sees tide shifting in Cuba, but can it last?

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – For a few short days, President Barack Obama was America’s man in Havana, his challenges to President Raul Castro stunning Cuban citizens who mused openly in the streets about the possibility of political change.

Obama’s public call for a more democratic Cuban future marked a watershed moment in a country where questioning the government’s authority is not tolerated. Decades of bitterness between leaders seemed to fade as Obama and Castro laughed it up at a baseball game. U.S. businesses were flocking in droves, touting new approval to bring Americans and their dollars to Cuba.

As Obama’s aides jubilantly boarded Air Force One, Castro showed up on the tarmac to see Obama off. The White House saw it as an affirmation that the visit was a success, even by Castro’s admittedly different standards.

Yet a key question remained unanswered after Obama departed the communist island: How much of it will last?

“We shouldn’t kid ourselves that they’re going to all of a sudden tolerate dissent,” said Michael Posner, Obama’s former assistant secretary of state for human rights and democracy. “This is a very ostracized regime.

They’ve been in power a long time. They don’t really have any instincts for reform. It’s going to be a struggle.”

The first clues could come next month during the Communist Party Congress meetBarack Obama ing in Havana, a forum for unveiling major changes. An announcement of greater political freedoms or reform-minded economic steps would suggest that Obama’s strategy was starting to bear fruit.

Under the glare of global attention, Castro did little to publicly undermine Obama. After all, Obama enjoys immense popularity in Cuba. Images of a young black president strolling through Old Havana seemed to resonate with Cuba’s racially diverse people, forming a powerful contrast

with the aging Castro.

In the days ahead, however, that public spotlight will dim, giving Castro an opening to return to business as usual should he so choose. Although he’s taking modest steps to open up Cuba’s economy and relax certain social restrictions, there still are no indications Castro plans to make any of the changes to Cuba’s single-party system that Obama advocated.

Raul Castro “We will continue to speak out loudly on the things that we care about,” Obama said near the end of his visit.

Central to Obama’s strategy is to raise the Cuban people’s expectations, driving up pressure on Castro’s government to accelerate the pace of change.

Wary Cuban officials have picked up on the tactic, with some regarding Obama’s entreaties as a post-Cold War attempt to coerce Cuba with diplomacy instead of the threat of force.

Ahead of his trip, Obama’s aides said a key goal was to make his

rapprochement with Cuba irreversible. He left the island with plenty of indications that tipping point could be in sight.

Soon, as many of 110 commercial flights between the U.S. and Cuba will take off daily, bringing millions of Americans to the country and further exposing Cubans to the outside world.

With Americans hungry for a taste of Havana, Obama is banking on the notion that it will be incredibly unpopular for the next president to tell them to cancel their vacations.

Famed U.S. hotel chains Starwood and Marriott are poised to take over hotels in Cuba after striking deals with Havana and getting permission from Washington, and Google is making a major play on the island as well. Brian Chesky, CEO of online lodging service Airbnb, told reporters in Havana that Cuba is his company’s fastest-growing market.

“There comes a point where reversing it will seem like a very crazy idea,” said former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, a Republican who left Cuba as an exile at age six. “I think we’re just about at that stage.”

Brussels attack victims came from Belgium and around world Tennessee, and his wife, a Lexington, Kentucky, native, both graduated from Vanderbilt University’s Owen Graduate School of Management. They were dropping Stephanie’s mother off at the airport and were watching her walk through security when the bombs went off, a family member said.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS BRUSSELS – Victims of the attacks on Brussels’ airport and subway included commuters heading to work and travelers setting off on long-anticipated vacations. In a city that’s home to international institutions, including the European Union and NATO, they came from Belgium and around the world. Among the confirmed dead:

Patricia Rizzo

Gigi Adam

Gigi Adam said her 79-year-old father Andre Adam died trying to protect his wife during the attack on Brussels Airport. Adam was a retired Belgian diplomat who had served as his country’s ambassador to Cuba, the United States, the United Nations and other countries.

“His death has wounded us all forever,” Gigi Adam wrote on Facebook.

“All his life he had worked towards the peaceful resolution of conflict in the world.”

She described her late father as “a cultured and cheerful man” who had met his future wife – “the love of his life” – on his posting to Cuba in the early 1960s. She said on Facebook that her mother had been hospitalized after the attack.

Gigi Adam said her parents had retired to southwest France in recent years.

“He was a loving father and an adored grandfather,” she said, asking for his family members to be given privacy. “We need to rest.”

A missing Tennessee man has been identified as a victim in the Brussels airport attack, according to his employer. Justin Shults, 30, and his wife Stephanie Shults, had not been seen since Tuesday. She remains missing. Shults’ employer, Clarcor, which manufactures filtration systems and packaging materials, said in a post on its website Saturday that he died in the bombing.

Patricia Rizzo’s family hails from a tiny town in Sicily, but she was as broadly European as they come.

Born in Belgium to a family originally from Calascibetta, near Enna, Sicily, Rizzo graduated from a Belgian university and worked for several Belgian companies as an executive secretary before joining European institutions in 1995.

The Italian Foreign Ministry confirmed Friday that Rizzo, 48, was among the dead from the attack on the Brussels subway at Maelbeek.

Rizzo moved back to Italy from 2003 to 2008 to work as the assistant to the executive director of the European Food Safety Authority.

In 2008, she was named human resources assistant for the EU’s education and culture agency in Brussels and for the past five months had worked in the human resources department of the European Research Council.

The Research Council said Rizzo is survived by a son and her parents.

Her uncle, Claudio Scinto, told the German newspaper Bild she and her husband were checking in Tuesday morning at Brussels Airport en route to a belated honeymoon in New York when the first bomb exploded.

The blast killed her and left her husband, Lars Waetzmann, among the 270 wounded in Brussels.

Her final post on Facebook came right after the November extremist assaults on Paris. It said: “Pray for Paris.” Other pictures show her and her husband in romantic seaside settings with the inscription: “Love of my life.”

Elita Borbor Weah

Elita Borbor Weah, who was heading to Rhode Island for her stepfather’s funeral, had texted family members a photo of herself Tuesday at Brussels Airport. A short time later, two suicide bombers struck the airport, leaving Weah among their victims.

The 40-year-old had been living in the Netherlands with her 13-year-old daughter after her extended family from Liberia had dispersed across West Africa, Europe and the U.S. following Liberia’s civil wars.

Her brother Oscar Weah of Providence, Rhode Island, was shaking and in tears Friday as he described how his older sister helped care for him over the years. Now, in addition to holding a funeral for her 87-year-old stepfather, Jennifer Scintu Waetzmann the family was making arrangements Jennifer Scintu Waetzmann was to care for her teenage daughter.

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis concluded a bleak week in Europe with a message of hope during an Easter Vigil service Saturday, saying darkness and fear must not prevail and “imprison” the world with pessimism.

Francis’ call to hope on the eve of the most joyful celebration in the Christian calendar contrasted sharply with his sharp condemnation in recent days of the attacks in Belgium and elsewhere by Islamic extremists.

Francis entered the silent and darkened basilica with just a single candle guiding him at the start of the vigil.

As he reached the altar, the basilica’s floodlights flipped on in a symbolic show of light after the darkness of Good Friday, which recalls Jesus’ death.

In his homily, Francis said the hope that Easter brings is a lesson for the Christian faithful to cast aside the pessimism that can “imprison” people inside of themselves.

“We see and will continue to see problems both inside and out. They will always be there,” he said. But he insisted: “Let us not allow darkness and fear to distract us and control our hearts.”

“Today is the celebration of our hope,” he said. “It is so necessary today.” The Easter message recalling Christ’s resurrection, “awakens and resurrects hope in hearts burdened by sadness,” he said.

The lengthy vigil service included a papal baptism for 12 adults hailing from China, South Korea and other countries around the world. Early Sunday, Francis will preside over Easter Mass and offer his annual Easter blessing.

During remarks Friday at the Colosseum capping the “Way of the Cross” procession re-enacting Jesus’ crucifixion, Francis denounced the “terrorist acts committed by followers of some religions which profane the name of God and which use the holy name to justify their unprecedented violence.”

EASTER SUNDAY PASSAGE

Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”

So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.

Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples went back to their homes.

Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene

But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”

She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.”

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are

Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet

ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord” – and that he had said these things to her.

Jesus appears to the disciples

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples

were glad when they saw the Lord.

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”

Jesus and Thomas

Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.”

But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the

mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them.

Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side.

Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

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

VIEWS Cal Thomas equivalency when he asserted the denial of health care and education for all and “equal pay” for women somehow was similar to the jailing of political dissidents. Castro claimed Cuba pays women the same as men.

Yes, and it is called equally shared poverty, which is a good definition of the communist form of government and its economic policies.

In response to this smear, President Obama said, “I personally would not disagree with him.” Score another propaganda victory for communist Cuba.

Responding to a reporter’s question about political prisoners, Castro seemed to channel “Baghdad Bob,” the spokesman for Saddam Hussein, who claimed U.S. forces were not in Iraq as TV cameras showed them

advancing on Baghdad behind him.

Castro denied Cuba holds political prisoners, but then told another reporter, “... give me a list of the political prisoners and I will release them immediately.”

The reporter didn’t have a list, but several human rights organizations do. Given Cuba’s record of oppression (an estimated 50 human rights advocates were arrested before President Obama’s visit and a “women in white” demonstration was broken up by police), the release of anyone from Cuba’s notorious prisons is about as likely as a democratic political system sprouting up in the country to challenge the communist dictatorship.

President Obama promised aid to Cuba, from help in connecting its citizens to the Internet to trade. Business leaders who accompanied the president on the trip are anxious to build hotels and conduct other business in Cuba. The upside of this is it might produce more openness in a society that has been closed for more

than 50 years. The downside is any prosperity will be used by the Cuban government to underwrite revolutions throughout Latin America; just as giving Iran its frozen assets most assuredly will facilitate the growth of terrorism throughout the world.

While the light of democracy can dispel the darkness of dictatorship, a light can be extinguished if its power source dims. So far, the U.S. has received nothing in return for the president’s initiative and his claim of a “new beginning” in the U.S.-Cuban relationship.

The “new beginning” President Obama pledged for the Middle East in his Cairo speech has not reversed or even slowed the old turmoil that never seems to end. Will it be different in Cuba? From Raul Castro’s remarks and the president’s partial agreement with him, the signs do not provide cause for optimism.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Pray for Christian president

To the Editor: The forefathers of America must be turning over in their graves. They wrote the Declaration of Independence and fought and won the Revolutionary War with England. Our gracious Lord Jesus blessed and guided us to become the greatest nation ever known. This capitalistic democratic form of government grew the U.S. to become the most powerful nation in the history of the world in a little more than 200 years.

At the end of World War II, Winston Churchill said of England, “this is our finest hour.” The same could be said of the U.S. For the first time in history, two of the winners of the war did not require reparations. Only Russia took reparations from Germany.

Instead of taking reparations, America gave Germany and Japan food, seeds and livestock to get them started to provide for themselves again.

I believe it was about this time the greed of the politicians and elected officials and the gradual transition from self-reliant Christians to the sectarian government-supported population caused the tremendous downfall of the U.S. All is not lost. Please join me in asking our benevolent God to send us

a dedicated Christian president with the required leadership skills to return the U.S. to the culture, the moral and family values, and the self-dependence we had at the end of WWII, to recover and grow to greater heights.

At the beginning of his presidency, Barack Obama traveled to Cairo, Europe and the United Nations to “apologize” for past American actions and attitudes, which he claimed helped create divisions between countries.

At a town hall meeting before a mix of French and German citizens in Strasbourg, France, on April 3, 2009, the president said the United States was partly to blame for increased tensions with Europe after the Iraq war: “there have been times where America [has] shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive” toward Europe.

Mitt Romney and other critics quickly dubbed these and similar remarks his “apology tour.”

With the president’s visit to Havana, Cuba, that tour has come full circle. In response to a question about Cuba’s human rights policies during a joint news conference, Cuban President Raul Castro criticized the United States for what he asserted was America’s violation of human rights.

McHENRY – Off Crystal Lake Road in McHenry, construction workers with Cunat Inc. have restarted a housing project nearly 14 years in the making, a timeframe that serves as a lasting reminder of a real estate market gone awry.

After breaking ground in 2002, the McHenry-based company planned to complete the 208-unit Patriot Estates development, featuring single-family homes and duplexes marketed toward the 55-and-older demographic, by the late 2000s. By then, the housing bubble popped and the Great Recession followed, putting Patriot Estates and other unrelated housing projects on hold.

In the post-recession market for the Chicago area, housing demand now has reemerged slowly and far differently from before the economic collapse, when single-family home construction led demand, according to area home builders and industry experts.

The dynamics have changed so much that Cunat Inc. doesn’t want to touch another single-family housing project once Patriot Estates is completed a few years from now, President Brian Cunat said.

“Would we start another single-family project right now? No way. We would never start a new one right now,” he said. “The economics aren’t there.”

Cunat, instead, has looked aggressively at the rental market, seeing the record demand for apartments as a solid investment opportunity in local real estate, Cunat said. Other area developers

see a similar trend.

During 2015, annual demand for rentals in the Chicago metro market increased 23 percent to nearly 8,800 renters, according to a year-end regional market report from Colliers International, a global commercial real estate services firm. Multifamily occupancy in the region last year increased to 96.5 percent, a five-year high despite elevated rental supply, the report stated.

Since 2010, developers in the northwest suburbs, including Cook, Lake and McHenry counties, have built nearly 1,500 rental units, a “decent amount of inventory,” Brian Pohl, executive vice president for Colliers International – Chicago, told the Northwest Herald.

Among major rental projects delivered in that span, developer EJ Plesko and Associates completed in 2013 a 220unit apartment project called Algonquin

Square, and developer John Breugelmans finished last year the 63-unit Riverside Plaza in downtown Algonquin.

Algonquin Square is about 98 percent occupied, according to data from Colliers. Breugelmans recently told the Northwest Herald that his development is about 75 percent occupied.

Most regional rental development following the recession has happened within Chicago city limits, as the younger Millennial generation especially has put off home ownership and sought an urban lifestyle, Pohl said.

But within the past two years, rental demand has picked up for suburbs that can offer renters quick access to public transit and vibrant downtowns. Developers, likewise, increasingly have looked to develop in the suburbs since land and other development costs tend to be cheaper, Pohl said.

“The multifamily business really has buoyed the turnaround in commercial real estate,” he said.

While area rental demand has surged post recession, single-family housing demand for both existing and new homes has remained sluggish, both Pohl and Cunat said. They point to numerous factors for the reason why regional demand for single-family homes has lagged behind other areas in the U.S., particularly in western and southern states.

Many still struggle to gain a mortgage, especially since lending requirements are stricter now than before the Great Recession. Political dysfunction also influences both consumers and developers.

The ongoing budget uncertainty in Springfield and the lack of a plan to solve the state’s unfunded pension liabilities creates apprehension, causing people to believe taxes eventually will be raised to correct the issues, both said. Relatively high property taxes in the region also play a role in people’s decision making.

“It seems single-family home construction has lagged at a certain price point,” Pohl said. “As soon as those monthly prices get close, people are choosing to rent rather than own.”

The regional market following the Great Recession has turned toward renters, tempering growth for home builders and forcing the industry to shift focus, Cunat said. His business still is yet to see the activity experienced before the recession.

Tourism drives economic development in county The word tourism brings to mind many things – maybe your honeymoon with ocean breezes and sandy beaches or perhaps a family road trip with the youngsters fighting in the backseat.

Maybe, tourism makes you envision a line of tour buses or the first time you visited a national park.

Tourism is much more than these memories and impressions as lovely as they may be. Tourism creates jobs, increases sales tax revenue and helps fund infrastructure.

Last week, Visit McHenry County staff attended the Illinois Governor’s Conference on Travel and Tourism in Springfield with representatives from Crystal Lake, Huntley and Woodstock.

John Harris from a5 Inc., the branding and marketing firm with Woodstock, attended along with Margo Griffin, Huntley business development coordinator, Diana Kenney, executive director of the Downtown Crystal Lake/Main Street Association, and association board member Sue Dobbe.

We represented McHenry County

TOURISM Tammy Townsend Kise and advocated for the vital role tourism plays in our region.

We met with colleagues from other visitor bureaus. We talked with Cory Jobe, the Illinois director of tourism.

We heard from Gov. Bruce Rauner.

As part of the Illinois Office of Tourism’s “Illinois Made” campaign, we arranged for 500 chocolates from Ethereal Confections in Woodstock to be served to attendees.

Earlier in March, Visit McHenry County Executive Director Jaki Berggren met state Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, Reps. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, and Steve Andersson, R-Geneva, in Springfield and discussed the economic importance of tourism in McHenry County, and thanked them for supporting our tourism efforts.

Without state and local support for a destination marketing organizations, such as Visit McHenry County, Illinois

stands to lose 22,800 jobs, and $970 million in state and local tax revenue over a four-year period, according to the study conducted by Tourism Economics.

Recently released by the Illinois Council of Convention and Visitor Bureaus, this study shows northeastern Illinois, including Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Kankakee, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will counties, will lose $900 million in visitor spending in 2017 without state funding for tourism.

Locally, McHenry County would lose $42.4 million in visitor spending and more than $1 million in state and local tax revenue.

That amounts to a lot of handcrafted pottery that would not be bought by Blue Eagle Pottery in Woodstock, hotel reservations not made at Hampton Inn in McHenry and deep-dish pizzas not shared at Georgio’s in Crystal Lake.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the leisure and hospitality industry is the number one non-farm employer in Illinois.

A loss in state and local funding for tourism could mean your neighbor has

to close her restaurant, your teenager won’t find summer employment or your spouse loses his or her job.

When you stop by our visitor center in Huntley, you should read our Insider Guide at local businesses or see one of our ads in Midwest Living or Ravinia Magazine. We are more than a resource for hotel and restaurant recommendations. We are here to drive economic development in McHenry County and create a better quality of life for you.

We also would like to say a special thank you to our newest tourism partners, including Chicago Northwest KOA, Harvard Milk Days, Marengo-Union businesses, McHenry Downtown Businesses, Potts and Pans/ Culture Arts and Music, and Wonder Lake Water Show Ski Team.

As Yahoo Turns: Shareholder mutiny begins another soap opera

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – Shareholder rebellions at Yahoo are becoming like presidential elections – they are happening every four years.

Activist investor Starboard Value launched a widely anticipated mutiny Thursday in a letter announcing its intent to overthrow Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and the rest of the company’s board. It marks the opening salvo in a battle for control of Yahoo Inc. that could drag into the summer.

This is the third attempted coup at Yahoo since 2008, all led by different shareholders fed up with different management teams’ fruitless attempts to turn around the company.

The two previous uprisings in 2008 and 2012 culminated in Yahoo giving board seats to the dissident shareholders. The unrest also contributed to the departures of two of Yahoo’s previous CEOs, company co-founder Jerry Yang and Scott Thompson.

Now, Mayer’s job is in jeopardy as a prolonged revenue slump at Yahoo deepens nearly four years into her reign as CEO. “We have been extremely disappointed with Yahoo’s dismal financial performance, poor management execution, egregious compensation and hiring practices, and general lack of accountability,” Starboard CEO Jeffrey

Yahoo president and CEO Marissa Mayer speaks Jan. 7, 2014, during the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Smith wrote in Thursday’s letter.

As part of a process known as a proxy fight, Starboard nominated nine alternative candidates to oppose Mayer and Yahoo’s other current directors at the company’s annual shareholder meeting in June.

The list of alternatives includes Smith, who has been publicly skewering Yahoo for the past 18 months in an attempt to pressure Mayer into taking drastic steps that he believes will boost the company’s stock price.

Starboard, which owns a 1.7 percent stake in Yahoo, engineered a 2014 proxy battle that tossed out the entire board of Darden Restaurants Inc., the owner of Olive Garden.

In a statement, Yahoo said it would review Starboard’s nominees and respond “in due course.” The Sunnyvale,

California, company snubbed Smith’s request for representation on its board two weeks ago when it appointed two directors with no ties to Starboard.

The tussle with Starboard comes at a pivotal time for Yahoo. The current board is currently wrestling with a decision to sell Yahoo’s Internet operations to a list of bidders that could include Verizon Communications, AT&T Inc. and Comcast Corp., or stick to Mayer’s latest plan to revive the company.

Mayer is in the process of laying off 15 percent of Yahoo’s workforce and closing unprofitable services, while trying to pull off a complicated maneuver that would spin off Yahoo’s Internet operations into a newly created company.

If the split is successful, Yahoo would then be left with highly prized stakes in China’s Alibaba Group and Yahoo

Japan. Those holdings are the main reason that Yahoo’s stock has more than doubled since the company hired Mayer away from Google in July 2012.

But the stock has dropped by about 30 percent in the past 15 months, driven by a downturn in Alibaba’s shares as well as a loss of investor confidence in Mayer.

After subtracting its ad commissions, Yahoo’s annual revenue has fallen from $5.4 billion in 2008 to $4.1 billion last year with another decline projected for this year. The erosion has occurred even though advertisers have been steadily boosting their digital spending, but most of that money has been flowing to Google and Facebook.

While continuing to back Mayer, Yahoo’s board last month hired three investment banks to help evaluate potential bidders. Analysts have estimated that Yahoo’s Internet operations, including popular email, sports and finance services, could fetch anywhere from $4 billion to $8 billion in an auction.

BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis expects Starboard to push for the sale with the backing of most Yahoo shareholders.

“A lot of people want to see Yahoo’s value to be unlocked via a sale, but this board seems to lack some urgency in getting that done,” Gillis said. “This (proxy fight) should help keep the board honest.”

EAST DUNDEE – An HVAC company from East Dundee will mark its 25th anniversary this year by contributing to a new home built through Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley, according to a news release.

JNL Climate Control, 215 Prairie Lakes Road, East Dundee, will supply and install a furnace to a local Habitat home that goes to a low-income family.

The HVAC company has grown from two employees and one truck in the early 1990s to more than 12 employees and seven trucks today, Vice President Kurt Olszewski said in the release.

JNL Climate Control also moved from Hoffman Estates in 2006 to a larger facility in East Dundee.

“Since the move, we have been able to build our company and employee base. It is the trust of our customers and skill of our employees that have helped JNL Climate Control reach its 25th year,” Olszewski said.

DuPage, Lake, McHenry and Will counties – all areas that have a Great Lakes Credit Union branch, the release stated.

Board member Don Curfman presented Robin Doeden, executive director of the McHenry County Community Foundation, with a $3,000 check earlier this year.

With more than $700 million in assets, Great Lakes Credit Union operates 14 branches throughout the Chicago area, including Crystal Lake and Woodstock.

Influenced by culture, immature people overspend Dear Dave,

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey

In your opinion, what causes overspending?

– Kristin

Dear Kristin, Overspending is, 100 percent of the time, a choice.

It’s a decision. Most of the time it’s linked to immaturity, although there can be other issues at play.

People who habitually overspend are saying they’re unwilling to act like a mature adult, and they delay pleasure to win with money.

This kind of thing is made even worse because we live in a culture fueled by extreme debt marketing.

And when things like credit card offers constantly are in the face of immature people, those two things can combine to make a real mess.

Good question, Kristin.

– Dave

Dear Dave, We have two daughters, and

we’ve started thinking about financial planning for college.

What are the differences between an Education Savings Account and a 529 plan?

– John Dear John,

I’m glad you’re thinking ahead and planning for the future. Here’s a quick overview of the two.

The Education Savings Account is limited to $2,000 a year, a child.

It has complete flexibility, meaning you can invest it in whatever you like and you can move it – roll it over – to another one if you don’t like that mutual fund, as an example.

I use that example because I recommend using good growth stock mutual funds and that you do this

for the first $2,000 invested a year.

There are several types of 529 plans, and there’s only one I would recommend. It’s the kind that has complete flexibility, where you control the investments.

Some states have 529 plans that are prepaid tuition, and I never recommend those.

You don’t want the state managing anything for you because you won’t get anywhere near the returns you’d get if you managed it yourself.

Other types of 529s lock you into a certain kind of investment the whole time, or they move the investment based on the age of your kid.

I don’t want anybody doing that crap. I want you controlling your money.

Most of the 529s vary somewhat from state to state, but the majority have flexibility that allows you to control the investment while contributing up to $10,000 a year.

Both those and the ESAs grow

completely tax-free on the growth as long as they’re used for higher education.

They also can be transferred to a sibling if the kid doesn’t go to school, so a little brother or sister can use the money.

If they get scholarships, make sure you keep up with the value of these.

You’ll be allowed to withdraw that amount and refund yourself for the scholarship amount without penalty or taxes on the amount withdrawn.

In short, both the ESA and 529 are fine ways to save for college.

Just make sure if you’re doing a 529, you choose the kind you control from top to bottom.

– Dave

VIEWS Ryan Farrell having a certain amount of space and loading docks, and the owner will care less about the location itself or the aesthetics of the building.

Conversely, a restaurant owner might care about what tenant improvements already exist in the premises or how much the landlord will cover to provide for buildout.

An initial issue in any lease negotiation is the distinction between what are known as a gross lease and a triple net lease. In a gross lease, the tenant is paying the landlord a fixed amount that covers “most” costs of being a property owner. That generically covers taxes and insurance. Depending on the type of property – single tenant or multitenant – it also can cover utilities and/ or maintenance.

In a typical triple net lease, the tenant is paying a base rent plus a separate amount for taxes, insurance, and utilities/maintenance; however, the devil is in the details.

Gross lease and triple net (or modified gross) can mean different things to different people. A gross lease doesn’t always mean a tenant only is paying a flat amount to be located there. For example, a person will need to look at the lease details to determine who pays for each utility, maintenance, lawn care and snow removal.

In any negotiation, leverage is key.

So, a business owner needs to be realistic when entering a negotiation. Some terms to consider: • Exclusivity clause. If the landlord owns or controls the property around the leased premises, a business has to weigh whether it can be restricted from being used by competing businesses or whether such a move would be viewed negatively by the public.

• Co-tenancy clause. If a business owner is counting on another tenant, such as anchor tenant, to provide traffic, he or see could build in a rent reduction if that tenant leaves.

• Personal guarantees. Ideally, a business owner can avoid personally guaranteeing the lease, but that often is not the case, especially for smaller or newer tenants. It might be possible to limit the guarantee through the amount

or the length of time that it is valid.

There also are a few useful tips for business owners to consider when entering into a commercial lease. First, an owner should consider using a broker.

The biggest advantage brokers provide is market knowledge, which can be key in knowing what leverage there really is.

Try to make the first offer, as it provides an anchor for the negotiated terms. Be the first to concede on a point, especially if it is more important to them. This can show good faith and makes it more likely the other side will concede on something else.

Everything is negotiable. Owners shouldn’t assume otherwise simply because it is “boilerplate.” Most importantly, don’t be afraid to walk away.

Sometimes, losing the property is the best result.

It is your business’ home, and you have to be able to afford it and be productive in it. So, if those two aren’t present, keep looking.

Boutique coffee shops jolt chains to step up sophistication

By KRYSTA FAURIA The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The coffee obsession has reached a new peak: You can now know the altitude at which the beans used for your morning cup of java were grown.

Spurred by the popularity of boutique coffee purveyors, Starbucks and other chains are taking steps to appeal to the growing ranks of coffee aficionados. They are experimenting with different roasting and brewing techniques, while providing more information about the origins of their customers’ fa-

• HOUSING

Continued from page A31 Aside from Patriot Estates, Cunat also restarted construction on an adjacent townhome development called Prairie Lakes. The business built 20 units before the recession and now has moved forward with the remaining 160 units.

“We’ve seen record occupancy and demand in the rental end of the business and less of a demand in purchasing homes,” Cunat said.

Based on permits issued in major towns, McHenry County has seen uneven activity for new single-family res-

vorite brew.

That includes where the coffee is from, as well as how and when it was roasted.

At Augie’s coffee shop in Redlands, California, bags of coffee list the elevation at which the coffee was grown. A higher altitude is said to lead to a fruitier and more complex flavor.

While Starbucks Corp. isn’t offering that level of detail yet, the Seattle-based chain has been working to burnish its reputation. It opened a high-end retail “Reserve Roastery” near its headquarters in 2014.

The company also is offering more

coffee from a single origin, rather than the blends most Americans are familiar with. And it recently began using the “Clover” brewing system that it said helps extract the optimal flavor for every cup.

The moves by Starbucks come as smaller chains have touted techniques like “nitro brew,” which infuses nitrogen gas to create a creamier coffee, and “pour over” brewing, which essentially entails pouring hot water over grounds.

“I’ve really been able to pick up on what real, good coffee tastes like,” said Bekah Stoneking while drinking a nitro brew at Back Alley Coffee Roasters in

Wake Forest, North Carolina.

The popularity of a new wave of smaller chains was enough that another major chain, Peet’s, last year acquired Stumptown, based in Portland, Oregon, and Intelligentsia, based in Chicago.

Both helped generate interest in different brewing methods and coffee origins.

Even Dunkin’ Donuts, which has an everyman image, introduced a dark roast coffee in late 2014 in a nod to changing tastes.

“This is a trend you can’t ignore if you’re one of those chains,” said Duane Stanford, editor of industry tracker Beverage Digest.

idential homes since the early part of the decade.

A village that boomed with new subdivisions through the early 2000s, Huntley has seen a steady increase in building permits for single-family residences since 2012. Village officials issued 512 such permits from 2012 to 2015, according to village records.

Since 2013, developers focused on Woodstock mostly finished building out northern subdivisions in the city, where officials issued 108 single-family permits. Most of the permits cover the Sonatas, Maples at the Sonatas and the Sweetwater developments in the city, Woodstock records show.

Crystal Lake officials have issued 71 single-family residential permits since 2012, with the bulk of the development activity happening in the earlier part of the decade. In 2015, the city issued two such permits.

Algonquin, meanwhile, saw minimal new housing starts immediately following the recession. But officials since have issued permits for 41 new single-family housing starts during the past two years, as developer William Ryan Homes has moved forward with plans to build out the Coves subdivision within the village, Community Development Director Russ Farnum said.

Officials in nearby Lake in the Hills have issued eight single-family housing permits since 2012, while other permits have covered work for 40 new duplex units and 60 apartment units in that span.

McHenry officials have seen a rise in permits for multifamily units, authorizing work for 16 rental units in 2013, 34 units in 2014 and 56 units in 2015, according to city records. Since 2012, McHenry also has issued 31 new single-family housing permits.

“It still is rebounding but very slowly,” Cunat said. “We aren’t bouncing a Super Ball. We are bouncing a lump of putty.”

One of the most exciting moments for a business owner is moving into a new space. It also can be one moment an owner eventually could regret.

Whether moving a business from the basement to a space that is more production friendly or simply moving from one building to another, a business owner’s negotiations on a commercial lease can be one of the most important parts to the business.

Both from a bottom- and top-line perspective – especially a retail owner – a commercial lease has huge financial consequences for businesses.

While residential leases fairly are generic and contain consumer protections, commercial leases are more open ended with a lot of flexibility, and the leases essentially are caveat emptor, better known as “let the buyer beware.”

That can be scary, but it also provides an opportunity for a tenant to make its lease right for them. Before searching for a property or negotiating the lease itself, a business owner should rank priorities – location, rent, length of term, tenant improvements, etc.

An owner’s rankings partially will be dictated by the type of business he or she has. A manufacturer will value

A decade after mom’s death, boyfriend still is struggling Dear Abby: My boyfriend of 10 years, “Ethan,” lost his mother to suicide 11 years ago on Dec. 31. The first couple of years after her death, he’d put on a happy face during the holiday season. But in recent years, he has gotten more and more moody.

I love the season and enjoy making my loved ones happy during this time, but no matter what I do, it doesn’t work for Ethan.

I understand there’s no limit to how long you can mourn someone, especially your mother. I couldn’t imagine losing mine, but how can I get him to not drag everyone down into the funk he puts himself in? I don’t want to downplay Ethan’s emotions, but even when we are opening presents together, he has an “I don’t give a ----” face.

For the past few winters, all we seem to do is argue about nothing or everything. I am at the point of

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips walking on pins and needles around him to avoid being sad during a time I love so much. I’m at my wits’ end.

He went to therapy for a little while, but stopped because he no longer had the time. (He works two jobs and is on call basically 24/7.) I work as well, and have asked him to quit one of the jobs because he is getting older (mid-40s) and it’s not good for his health. What else can I do? – No

Comfort In Joy Dear No Comfort: Sympathize with

Ethan, tell him it’s clear he is still hurting, and suggest he talk with another therapist because depression may run in his family. You also should tell him his “funk” is conta-

gious and you would like to be able to enjoy the holidays. Or, consider socializing less with Ethan from October through February and spend the time with others like you who would like to celebrate.

Dear Abby: I’m concerned my great-grandson may be autistic. He is 13 months old. He never laughs or giggles out loud, and his response when spoken to often is expressionless. However, he occasionally will smile slightly, already is walking and says a few words we can understand. He also is extremely hyperactive.

His parents appear oblivious to this behavior, and I wouldn’t dare suggest I may be seeing a problem.

My question is: Do all pediatricians check for this at regular visits? My understanding is the earlier the detection, the better to start treatment.

– Worried Great-Grammy

Dear Grammy: Pediatricians perform developmental screenings at each and every visit, and any delays out of the ordinary should be investigated further. Typical autistic features include social interaction difficulties and speech delay.

Autism is a difficult diagnosis to establish since many of the features aren’t apparent at a young age. Most pediatricians will do an M-CHAT (Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers) at 18 months of age. If the M-CHAT reveals areas of concern, a full developmental assessment is recommended.

Because you are worried, you should bring your concerns up with the parents so they can discuss this with their pediatrician.

Marian Central’s Adam Pischke is the Northwest Herald’s 2016 Boys Basketball Player of the Year. He scored more points than any player in Marian Central basketball history with 1,775 points.

NORTHWEST HERALD BOYS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Marian’s Pischke takes top honors

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

A

dam Pischke scored more points than any player in Marian Central basketball history (1,775) and accomplished something else no other Hurricanes player had done by earning Northwest Herald Player of the Year honors.

Pischke challenged defenses with his outside shot, but also with his ability to get to the basket and score. As player of the year, Pischke is invited to the Northwest Herald’s high school sports award show at 7 p.m. June 7 at the Woodstock Opera House.

1. What’s the craziest shot you made this season?

That buzzer-beater against Bartlett at the Jacobs Tournament [a 69-63 overtime win Dec. 23]. Got the ball with three seconds left, I was on the run and pulled up at the volleyball line and swished it.

2. What was your favorite game this season?

I’d have to say that Bartlett game again. We were down seven with 1:30 left and we hit a bunch of big shots, they missed a few free throws and we came back. That was just a good team win. T.J. [Kaufmann], Jack [Moscins-

ki], Sam [Ohlrich] and I all hit 3s in the last part.

8. Who’s your favorite NBA player?

Steph Curry, without a doubt.

3. What position do you play and where 9. You’re at the playground picking do you bat in the order in slow-pitch anyone from any time to run with. Who’s softball? your other four guys?

I bat second and play a great left field on the Padres. We play in a church league with churches in Cary, Crystal Lake, McHenry and Richmond.

I play with some Cary guys like Jimmy Freskos and Kevin Hughes, and my dad [Jeff] plays.

Michael Jordan, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, I’d love to see that guy dunk in person.

A broccoli-cheddar bread bowl at Panera.

“The Sandlot,” that’s a classic, I grew up watching that one.

I usually just like to listen to music before.

Baseball. I played up until freshman year. I quit to focus on spring and summer basketball, but I think I could have been a good baseball player.

4. What’s your favorite pregame meal?

5. Do you have any superstitions or rituals before you play?

6. On nongame days, how many shots will you put up?

It’s not so much shot total. I work out with Zac Boster and used to work out with Steve Preston. We try to get game shots. We usually go for an hourand-a-half and get shots off ball screens and work on ballhandling and stuff like that. I’m not always necessarily counting, just going for an hour-anda-half.

7. If you could pick one throwback NBA jersey, which one would you take?

I’d have to go with Muggsy Bogues.

10. What’s your favorite basketball movie?

“Glory Road”

11. What’s your favorite sports movie that’s not about basketball?

I would want to see Michael Jordan when he hit that shot on [Craig] Ehlo to beat the Cavaliers [Game 5 of the 1989 Eastern Conference first round series].

16. Is there a special significance to your uniform No. 5?

I’ve always been No. 5 in every sport I played, in football I was 5, it’s just always been my number.

17. What musical act would you most like to see in concert this summer?

One Direction

18. What’s the funniest thing that ever happened to you in competition?

I have about 80 One Direction songs on my phone. I’m a huge One Direction fan. I went to a concert last year.

In eighth grade, I was on the ’Canes’ feeder team and we had our first day of football lifting, right before a game.

Vince Catarello and I lifted before and it was the first time most of us ever lifted, and had to play later that day.

We get to the game, first quarter, Vince catches the ball at the free-throw line, he’s usually a pretty good shooter, and he shoots it over the backboard. Didn’t hit anything. We couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Joe Thomas, the left tackle of the Cleveland Browns.

Probably something sports-related, like a college basketball coach or something like that.

12. What other sport would you be good at?

13. What’s a song on your iPod people would be surprised is there?

14. Who’s the most famous person you’ve taken a picture with?

15. If you could hop in the DeLorean with Doc Brown and Marty McFly, what athletic contest would you want to see?

19. What would be your dream job?

20. What’s one of your biggest pet peeves?

People who are really cocky.

NORTHWEST HERALD BOYS BASKETBALL COACH OF THE YEAR

Prairie Ridge’s Card wins 2nd Coach of Year award

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

P

rairie Ridge boys basketball coach Corky Card seems to be a perennial candidate for Northwest Herald Coach of the Year honors. Card won in his second season as Wolves’ coach in 2004, and was selected again this season after leading his team to a 25-4 record, the second-most wins in school history.

Here is more about Card, whose team won the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division and the Class 4A Crystal Lake South Regional title.

1. If you were a soap opera character, what would your name be? (Middle name and name of the street you grew up on).

Howard Harold

2. If you could have a sandwich named in your honor, what would be on it and what would you call it?

My favorite sandwich is an egg sandwich, and if you’re going to name it after me, I usually go by “Cork.”

3. Who was your favorite NBA player, other than Michael Jordan, while growing up?

Dr. J [Julius Erving]

5. If you could have any college job, where would you go?

Montana. I’ll take the scenery after I get fired.

6. What’s something you would change about basketball?

Get rid of alternating possessions on jump balls. It’s a bail-out for the officials.

Any time two players come together, they call a jump ball. Plus, it takes away another special situation you can work on to gain an advantage.

7. If you could spend a day with anyone from history, who would it be?

Mohandas Gandhi, great resolve to oppose others with passive resistance for what you believe in.

8. Who was a better high school player: You or your wife Betsy?

No doubt I was. She was a better scorer (22.5 ppg.), but you asked for player. She won’t see this, right?

9. What sports moment was so huge that you’ll always remember where you were when it happened?

I don’t really have one.

10. What actor would play you in a movie about your life?

4. What are some words of wisdom you often Of course I believe Chris Evans, Chris share with your team?

Hemsworth or Brad Pitt would be dead-on,

Like most coaches, mostly talk about how important each player is and how they can best help the team.

but I have a sneaking suspicion that John Goodman, Kevin James or Jonah Hill would be cast.

Jacobs’ Evan Liebau pitches during Saturday’s 4-0 Game 1 victory Saturday against Metamora in Algonquin. The Golden Eagles claimed a 2-1 victory in the second game to finish off the doubleheader sweep.

BASEBALL: JACOBS 4-2, METAMORA 0-1

ALGONQUIN – No Jacobs runner Nathan Meland had made it past second base in five Jacobs, sr., SS innings, yet the Golden Eagles mainMeland played errorless in the tained faith that things would work out field and reached base in the in their favor despite trailing Metamobottom of the seventh inning ra by a run. of the second game on an in“There was no way we were going field hit and eventually scored the game-deciding to let ourselves lose this game, we just run in a doubleheader sweep of Metamora. had to get one run across,” Jacobs q THE NUMBER pitcher Casey Dennison said. “Once There were not a lot of runs scored by both we got the game tied, we really felt teams on Saturday – only seven combined good we knew we’d been shutting them for two games – and not one was earned. down the whole time. Just one more AND ANOTHER THING ... q was all we needed.”

Jacobs senior right-hander Brenden Heiss, who With the aid of two Redbirds’ throwwill pitch at Arkansas, has not made his 2016 ing errors – one in the sixth and one debut yet. “He’s still working on a couple things in the seventh – the Eagles scratched before he’s ready to pitch,” Golden Eagles across all they needed for a 2-1 Game 2 coach Jamie Murray said. “The plan for him is victory and a sweep in their nonconfernext Saturday against Niles Notre Dame.” ence baseball doubleheader Saturday.

Jacobs won the first game, 4-0.

Dennison (1-0) and Evan Liebau (1- Sam Brace were equally difficult. Li1) were tough on Metamora, although ebau struck out five and allowed three Redbirds’ lefties Geremy Guerrero and hits in the opener, pitching against

Guerrero, who will play at Indiana State.

“I was locating really well,” Liebau said. “When I was warming up, I wasn’t feeling the best [with control], but once I got out there I was hitting my spots. [Pitching against a D-I pitcher] definitely gets me going. I want to be as good as them.”

Jacobs used aggressive baserunning from Stevie Krueger to score its first run, then took advantage of a dropped pop fly for three unearned runs in the sixth inning.

Dennison whiffed six, gave up two hits and did not walk a batter in the second game. He worked swiftly and threw 97 pitches in the complete game.

“Casey was outstanding today.

Evan was fantastic in the first game, pounding the strike zone,” Eagles coach Jamie Murray said. “It wasn’t pretty getting those two runs, but I’m proud of our guys, down 1-0 with six outs to go, we found a way.”

Shortstop Nathan Meland, the No. 9 hitter, reached on an infield hit,

then advanced to second on a throwing error with one out. After two outs, Krueger was intentionally walked and Daniel Solomon drew a walk to load the bases. A 1-2 pitch to Tim Randl then glanced off catcher Brad Herzog’s glove and Meland raced home with the winning run.

“When I hit [the ground ball], I believed I was going to beat it [to first base],” Meland said. “I was going to bust out of the box as fast as I could.

When I was on second, I believed the team was going to get me in.”

Metamora coach Eric Stone was left to ponder two losses with no earned runs allowed for his program, traditionally a Class 3A powerhouse.

“That’s where we’re at right now,” Stone said. “We threw well and they gave us a chance, but we have no margin for error. We had a two-strike squeeze and that’s our run, we’ve scored one run in the last 28 innings.

Some of it’s the competition we’re playing, the guys who are throwing against us are very, very good.”

10 MAGIC 111, BULLS 89

Hoiberg hopes team hasn’t quit on him

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com

ORLANDO – Jimmy Butler again was claiming there was something wrong in his left knee Saturday.

And it’s still by far the least broken thing about this Bulls team right now.

In what was a new rock bottom for a roster that continued to show an allergic reaction to adversity, the Bulls lost to a short-handed Orlando Magic team playing in a back-to-back, 111-89.

They didn’t just lose gracefully, either.

They laid down from tip-off to final horn, seemingly already resigned to the fact summer vacation is just 10 regular-season games away.

The bigger sting of the evening? Indiana and Detroit each lost, so the Bulls (36-36) could have cut the deficit for both the No. 7 and 8 playoff spots to just a game.

Instead, it remained at two, as the Bulls remained lifeless.

“Just a lack of competitiveness,” coach Fred Hoiberg said.

Hoiberg was then asked if this team has quit on the idea of a playoff run, and responded, “I sure hope not. Obviously what I’m saying right now, my message isn’t getting across, and we’re going to sit in a room and hopefully get it figured out [on Sunday].

“Again, the adversity hit us and we struggled with that.”

Bulls guard Derrick Rose goes up for a shot between Orlando Magic guard Elfrid Payton (left), forward Aaron Gordon (center) and center Dewayne Dedmon (right) during the first half Saturday in Orlando, Fla. As bad as it looked at the Amway Center, the players were still trying to sound like a group that cared.

“Obviously, we’re really struggling right now,” Mike Dunleavy said. “It’s hard to pinpoint one thing. In terms of wins and losses we’re not out of it.

We’re hanging around. This thing can turn good as quick as it can turn bad.

“I think we’re just a little lost as

opposed to just thrown in the towel or anything like that. Just got to find our way. We give off that impression of beaten down, but I don’t think anyone’s given in right now. I just don’t think we’re good enough.”

Meanwhile, earlier in the day, the plot surrounding “knee-gate” continued to only thicken for Butler. After telling the Sun-Times on Thursday

DeJesus also had a double and a single necessary.

Smith said he was getting ready to shower after pitching in a minor league game Thursday and was standing on one leg to take off his other shoe when he lost his balance and twisted the knee.

“I pulled hard (on the shoe) and it stayed on,” he said. “My knee just went up and popped. Everyone tells you there is nothing you can do about it, but you still feel like you are letting people down.”

Smith tore his lateral collateral ligament, which is on the outside of the knee and connects the femur to the lower leg.

The right leg is the plant leg for the lefthander and absorbs the most impact.

that offseason exploratory surgery on his left knee was a “maybe,” he backed down from that Saturday, but still acknowledged something wasn’t right in the knee.

Confused?

So is Butler.

Asked if he can handle the workload the Bulls need from him the rest of the season, Butler said, “To an extent, yeah. I don’t think [the knee is] going to be as good right now as it was before.”

Asked exactly what’s still hurting, Butler said, “I don’t know if it’s hurting or it’s just all in my mind. That’s where it starts. I don’t want to make anything worse. I don’t know what to call it. I just have to go play and stop thinking so much.”

That’s where the two-time All-Star is these days: Searching for answers.

“I think there’s always a fear,” Butler said, when asked if he feared the knee could get worse. “I’m not going to say fear because I’m not really scared of anything. But I think there’s a worry. I want to play this game as long as I can.

I just think maybe resting it is a good thing. But right now is not the time for that. I know that we have to win games.

I want to play and help when I’m out there.”

Butler did move better in the loss to the Magic, scoring 12 points on 5-for-10 shooting, but like they were for all the starters in the one-sided blowout, minutes were limited.

Angry fan throws beer can into Rays’ dugout in Cuba protest

BRADENTON, Fla. – A man apparently angered by the Tampa Bay Rays’ recent trip to Cuba went onto the field and threw a full can of beer into the team’s dugout during its spring training game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Nobody was hurt. A member of the Pi-

rates’ grounds crew and Rays third base coach Charlie Montoyo restrained the protester until police arrived Saturday night, briefly delaying the game.

Bradenton police Lt. John Affolter said the man was arrested and will be charged with causing a fray, trespassing and assault. Police would not yet identify the man.

According to players and Bradenton police, the man came onto the field in the seventh inning and shouted obscenities about the Castro regime in Cuba. He threw a can of beer that smashed into the back wall of the Rays’ dugout.

WEST REGION: OKLAHOMA 80, OREGON 68

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press

SOUTH REGION: VILLANOVA 64, KANSAS 59

Villanova shocks top seed Kansas

By GARY B. GRAVES The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Kris Jenkins made two free throws with 13.3 seconds remaining, Jalen Brunson added two more with 3.5 seconds left and second-seeded Villanova upset top-seeded Kansas, 64-59, on Saturday night in the NCAA Tournament South Region final to reach the Final Four.

Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart each made big steals in the final minute to help the Wildcats (33-5) pull off the upset and end the Jayhawks’ 17-game winning streak. The Wildcats are back in the Final Four for the first time since 2009, and they can credit balanced scoring and ferocious defense.

Jenkins, Hart and Ryan Arcidiacono each scored 13 points for the Wildcats.

They used a 10-0 run to take a 50-45 lead and get key baskets and plays down the stretch in beating the Jayhawks (33-5).

Villanova got 10 points from Daniel Ochefu, including a big jumper with 6:14 left, just one of many big plays the Wildcats made to preserve the lead.

It wasn’t easy. Frank Mason III scored five points and the Jayhawks cut it to 6059 with 15 seconds left. But Arcidiacono preceded that with four free throws before Jenkins and Brunson followed with two more as the Wildcats made 18 of 19 at the line and eight in the final 33 seconds.

ger said. “They feel good about this right now, but they’ll feel even better about it years from now. They’ve got a special, special spot.”

The regional final was a monument to the formidable talent of Hield, the Sooners’ senior star who passed on NBA riches for another chance to reach the Final Four.

He carved up the Ducks’ defense from all distances with his smooth outside shot and a knack for momentum-swinging buckets.

Even Orange County resident Kobe Bryant watched admiringly from the stands, prompting some Oregon players to compare Hield to the Lakers’ retiring superstar.

“I’m not Kobe Bryant,” Hield said

with an embarrassed grin. “They should not compare me. I just make shots. Me and Kobe (are) in two different classes.”

The Sooners have never won a title, but Hield’s talent suggests history could be made in Houston. Their traveling fans serenaded him with chants of “Buddy! Buddy!” after the final whistle.

Sure, he didn’t have an assist in 39 minutes. Hield didn’t need the help.

“Buddy just makes shots,” Kruger said. “He’s just unbelievable. He shoots with great confidence and doesn’t force many. He got it going early, and he made some big shots there in the second half to keep them from cutting into the lead, too.”

• Sunday, March 27, 2016

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Buddy Hield was brilliant from start to finish for Oklahoma, scoring 37 points with a fluid jumper and an answer for everything Oregon tried against him defensively.

In fact, there was only one remaining question after Hield climbed a stepladder to cut down the net that he had just set on fire in the West Region final of the NCAA Tournament.

Can Buddyball take the Sooners all the way to their first national title?

Hield hit eight 3-pointers in another utterly dominant performance, and Oklahoma advanced to its first Final

Four since 2002 with an 80-68 victory Saturday over Oregon.

“It’s special,” Hield said afterward, a piece of the net tied to his Final Four hat. “As a kid, you dream of having games like this. ... I’m just happy that we all made it, and we’ve just got to finish it out.”

Jordan Woodard added 13 points for the Sooners (29-7), who streaked to an 18-point lead in the first half and never let the Ducks back in it. Oklahoma is in the Final Four for the fifth time in school history, and coach Lon Kruger is back in college basketball’s biggest showcase for the second time after a 22-year absence.

“It’s about seeing the feelings of satisfaction on the players’ faces,” Kru-

Day claims two victories to reclaim No. 1 ranking

AUSTIN, Texas – Jason Day powered his way to two victories Saturday to assure that he will return to No. 1 in the world.

But this is no time to celebrate. His reward is a Dell Match Play semifinal showdown against defending champion Rory McIlroy, who ran his unbeaten streak to 12 matches and needs two more to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners.

This is only the second time the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds have met in the semifinals since the Match Play began in 1999. They are the last two winners of this event. Day and McIlroy have never met in match play.

Heyward seems poised for breakout season MESA, Ariz. – It’s spring training, and, man, is it beautiful.

The last song played over the P.A. at Sloan Park before Cubs left-hander Jon Lester jogs to the mound is “Take It Easy.”

Perfect.

Like the weather. Like the blue desert sky. Like the grass in the Emerald City.

But men are at work, and one of them is Jason Heyward, the tall, athletic right fielder who could be a huge difference-maker for the Cubs in their march toward . . . well, let’s let him clarify.

“The World Series,’’ Heyward said.

“Yeah, win the World Series. That’s it.

There’s no other goal to worry about.

Nothing.’’

Seriously?

“Yes,’’ he said. ‘‘And anything else – it’s not just making the playoffs, just getting there, no. It’s winning the World Series.’’

Hmmm. Maybe that would seem a far leap for a team that has gone four generations, two World Wars, from Model T’s to model drones, without winning a crown. But everybody, not just Heyward, has the Cubs winning the World Series, partly because he’s on the team.

VIEWS Rick Telander From the cover of Sports Illustrated (yes, it was only a regional cover, but it counts) on down to ESPN, newspapers, oddsmakers and friendly bartenders – everybody likes the Cubs’ chances this year. Heyward, the Cubs’ huge free-agent signing from last December, isn’t guaranteeing the title, but he’s not afraid to make it the target, make it the only target.

At a long-legged 6-5 and a lean 240 pounds, Heyward has the kind of body that would fit the elite level in just about any sport but horse racing and human cannonballing. In the field, he glides like a deer, covering more ground with his long strides than seems reasonable. His arm is strong, and he’s a good baserunner. At bat, he’s a left-hander with power, which hopefully can be unleashed at Wrigley.

Though he had only 13, 11 and 14 home runs his past three seasons with the Cardinals and Braves, Heyward cranked 27 homers in 2012, when he played in 158 games. He’s only 26, and if the Friendly Confines and the Cubs’

heavy-hitting lineup suit him, then a career year could be ahead.

Until Dexter Fowler re-signed with the Cubs in February, it was stated by Cubs brass that Heyward would spend most of his time in center field. He can do that, but right field is where he has long played, so he and center fielder Fowler make a nice pair.

“I’ve known him since he was in eighth grade,’’ said Fowler, who, like Heyward, is from the Atlanta area.

Like Heyward, Fowler is 6-5 but skinnier.

“We had the same coach for a while, and he’d say, ‘Hey, your twin is coming in today,’ ’’ Fowler said. ‘‘Thing is, the guy was going to ninth grade, and I was graduating high school.’’

Fowler had heard the lore about Heyward early. The natural talk.

“He’s smart, he’s talented,’’ Fowler said. “He’s an athlete who can play anywhere.’’

Bleacher fans in right, get ready to salute your new hero. No longer an enemy, he’s your guy. And he says his new ballpark really isn’t new at all.

“I’ve played right field there enough,’’ he said. “And that’s that.’’

The dude is a serious guy, but he doesn’t mind the Joe Maddon Traveling Fun Wagon, the goofy sideshow his

manager directs to keep players loose and prove he’s wackier than they ever might be.

A few days ago, it was a mime.

Before the game Friday, it was a pair of baby black bears rolling around the practice-field grass, as cuddly and clueless as two dug-up moles. The players held them and petted them.

“It says we’re here to have fun,’’ Heyward said of his skipper’s petting zoo. “It’s a business, but it’s a game.’’

I mention that at, say, Apple, they don’t have pajama parties when a guy gets promoted or throw pies around like office memos.

“I don’t know what they do there,’’ Heyward said somberly. “But Apple is strictly business. This is a game you start off playing as a little game. This is just the big version of it. I started when I was 5.’’

Against Milwaukee, Heyward made catches at the wall look effortless. He threw a 200-foot rope to catcher David Ross, freezing a runner at third. He spanked the ball at the plate, though he didn’t get a hit.

It’s all good. Age 5 is paying off.

A masterpiece and mass hysteria The best part of a great work of art is you never know when it will come back to tap you on the shoulder.

Take the Mona Lisa. I haven’t seen her in more than 30 years, but she’s been whispering in my ear a lot lately.

I first met her in 1984 (a prophetic enough year as it is), when I raced through the Louvre in Paris, trying to see as much as I could see in the hour I had remaining before closing time. It would be a crime, I thought, to visit the Louvre and not see the Mona Lisa.

But when I got to the room where that famous masterpiece is housed and saw her sitting placidly behind the glass enclosure, I had to pull to a stop because an American lady stood directly in front of the glass case, facing her husband with her back turned to Mona Lisa. The man was trying to figure out how to snap his wife’s picture, using the most recognizable work of art in the world as a backdrop.

“Just…push…the…button…” the lady said through her forced smile, aware the lens might click at any moment. Her lips and eyelids began to twitch with the effort of maintaining the smile for several seconds stretching toward a minute.

“It’s just…” the husband said. “I can’t…” he kept turning the camera over and over in his hands, trying to figure it out.

“The…button…” the wife repeated through her facial spasms, which were starting to twitch into a grimace.

“Just…push…the…button….”

And behind her back, over the woman’s shoulder, Mona Lisa gazed at me with her soft smile and liquid eyes.

“You see what it’s come to?” her eyes asked me.

And as the man’s camera clicked and the lady sighed and they walked off without a glance back, I saw what Mona Lisa wanted me to see and to understand.

“They didn’t come to see my beauty,” her eyes said. Had they come for

that, then the lady with her back turned and her husband with the camera in front of his face would never have been able to pull their gaze away from Mona Lisa’s lovely face.

“No,” Mona Lisa went on, “they came to establish PROOF that they have seen my beauty – even though they never really saw it while it was in front of them.”

That is what her eyes and her smile said to me over that lady’s shoulder, just as her eyes and smile said it to Leonardo Da Vinci while he painted her portrait. She might have offered Leonardo a different, warmer smile if he simply had come to gaze lovingly at her beauty with no canvas between them.

But no – Leonardo had come not to see her beauty, but to create an image to prove he had seen her beauty, exactly as the grimacing woman and the befuddled husband did 400 years later in the Louvre.

Rather than living the moment, they had chosen instead to record the moment – a moment that never actually happened for them, thanks to the camera (or the canvas) that stood between them and the real beauty of life unfolding before them.

And if you look, you can see the understanding in Mona Lisa’s smile. Some call her smile “enigmatic,” but I don’t see it that way. I see it as ironic.

Once her eyes spoke to me, I saw it too – our fascination with the captured image of reality rather than with reality itself – and because of that moment with Mona Lisa, I have put away my camera for the most part when I travel.

And recently, as I watched televised images of the near-riot that occurred in Chicago at a recent Donald Trump rally, I probably was the only person in the world who thought of Mona Lisa.

If you Google photographs or video of that horrifying lapse in civilization, study the crowd. Count the number of faces staring not at the terror unfolding around them, but at the screen of their

EnvironmentTip Create spaces in yard for birds’ spring return

Birds may be the most welcome harbingers of spring. Colorful to see and a delight to hear, birds lend grace and beauty to our surroundings and provide natural insect control. To make your residence or neighborhood an inviting sanctuary for birds,

create places for them to nest, feed, drink and wash. Add to your yard or landscape a birdhouse or two, feeders and birdbaths.

cell phones as they record the terror.

And then look at their faces as they take their own private video of the terrifying moment. You won’t see a hint of terror.

With their cell-phones in hand and their bland eyes glued to the tiny screen, they’re not living in the moment in any way. Rather, they’re recording the terrifying moment bereft of any involvement, just so they’ll be able later to say: “It was terrifying!”

Because in today’s America, it isn’t reality unless you can see it on a screen – even if it’s happening right in front of you – because we live in a land and a time where image is everything.

You’ll see it in the faces of all those bland-eyed cell gazers at the near-riot at the Trump rally in Chicago.

You’ll see it in the faces surrounding the sucker-punch at the Trump rally in North Carolina.

You’ll see it at all the Trump rallies where the “reality” star of the show wishes he could “punch [a protester] in the face,” or promises to pay legal fees for anybody who will “knock the crap out of” a protester, or misses the good old days when someone like that would be “carried out on a stretcher.”

But when the inevitable violence erupts in the crowd, you’ll never see even a glimpse of horror on those faces as they stare bland-eyed at their cell phones, recording the horrifying event.

Because it’s not real blood or real pain happening right in front of them.

It’s just reality TV, as insubstantial as a glimpse behind the glass at the smiling face of a beautiful woman who died 400 years ago.

And it’s easy to turn your back on real beauty – or horror – as long as the cameras are on.

New book celebrates centennial with stories of fans’ love affairs with Cubs

W

By CHRIS MORDI • editorial@nwherald.com e all have our memories of the Cubs. Because that’s what the Cubs are all about. We take the good times and cling to them with a God-almighty grip. The bad ones? We say, “Wait till next year.”

“There’s millions of Cubs fans around the world, but there are a small pool of memories that we all share,” author Dan Campana said.

“We make them personal in a variety of different ways.”

Campana and Rob Carroll endeavored to tell those stories in a new book, “Cubs 100: A Century at Wrigley Field,” which shares the legends of the team as told by players, celebrities and others connected to the team. It also delves into quirky and heartwarming stories, revealing a personal side of the love for the Cubs from the fans’ point of view.

“We’ve got some really cool people that we were able to reach out to and who were willing to share stories,” Carroll said.

Carroll said the book includes interviews with past players such as Ryne Sandberg, Andre Dawson and Fergie Jenkins.

“We also reached out to people who are notable names who aren’t players – like the actor Joe Mantegna; he gave us a fantastic story,” he said. “There are definitely a lot of names in there that people will recognize, Cubs fan or not.”

Campana and Carroll will be at Read Between The Lynes book store, 111 E. Van Buren St., Woodstock, at 1 p.m. April 2 signing copies of the book and taking questions from fellow fans.

“Cubs 100” is a followup to their 2013 book, “Wrigley Field: 100 Stories for 100 Years.” The book is available online as well as at Walgreen’s, Costco, Barnes and Noble and other local book stores, according to a spokesperson from the book’s publisher, Arcadia

Publishing.

Campana said the stories in the book are broken down a couple of different ways.

“We’ve got significant games in there where we’ve got players talking about some of the most important or meaningful or memorable [moments] for a variety of reasons,” he said.

And then there are the stories rarely heard, “the personal side of things, from the fans,” Campana said.

“There’s this guy who had this bond with a woman who turned 100 this year. She would tell him stories about what it was like to be at Wrigley in the early days. I think she was at the ’32 World Series,” he said. “It’s those little things where we’re trying to connect all these dots that exist between the past and today.”

Other stories include fans talking about being the longest season ticket holder in an area of the stadium, as well as “the pink-hat guy,” who is famous for sitting behind home plate the past several years.

“It’s a little bit of tapping into this collective pool of memories that everybody has from Cub games at Wrigley.

Just offering their little personal take on it so it,” Campana said. “There’s at least one story in [the book] that a reader’s going to look at and go, ‘I was at that game,’ or ‘I remember going to a game with my dad for the first time,’ or some of those kinds of things.”

Carroll said the pair looked to “find people who share the same love affair that you have with the Cubs. We were able to find stories that really stood out with people over the years.”

He added that the book shows the

AUTHOR SIGNING WHEN: 1 p.m. April 2 WHERE: Read Between The Lynes, 111 E. Van Buren St., Woodstock COST & INFO: The Cubs have called Wrigley their home since 1916 and have treated their loyal followers with memories that have lasted for generations.

Those stories are told by players, fans and others who experienced them in “Cubs 100: A Century at Wrigley Field.”

Authors Rob Carroll (left) and Dan Campana will sign copies and answer questions. Information: 815-206-5967 or www.readbetweenthelynes.com. national and international scope of Cubs fandom.

“We have stories from fans all across the country [and] also across the world. We have a story in there from a Cubs fan in Australia,” he said.

Telling these stories was a labor of love for Campana and Carroll, both lifelong Cubs fans, though they came to the Cubs in different ways.

Carroll’s fandom came to him by

the games pre-empting his favorite after-school cartoons on TV. “I always enjoyed watching GI Joe cartoons you’d see on WGN TV. They would always be on there waiting for me when i got home from school,” Carroll said. “During baseball season, those 1:20 p.m. Cubs games, they would sometimes interrupt the cartoons. So that’s how I started becoming a Cubs fan.”

Campana’s passion for the team was passed down through his family.

“You don’t choose to be a Cubs fan,” Campana said. “Being a Cubs fan chooses you through your lineage.”

His first memory of a Cubs game is laying on the center field bleachers, staring up into the summer sky, paying little attention to the contest taking place below him.

“I remember hearing a bustle.

Manny Trillo had been thrown out at the plate. Since it was pre-lights and the game was tied, if Trillo had scored, the Cubs would have won. Instead, the game was called on account of darkness and picked up the next day,” Campana said, adding that he wasn’t able to go back the next day to see the end of the game.

“We [Cubs fans] stick together,” Campana said. “We stand by our team in good and bad. We’re just sort of carrying the torch for fans who feel the same way we do. You want to see them win, but regardless of what happens, you’re going to stand by them.”

Carroll and Campana are both former employees of Shaw Media, which owns the Northwest Herald, and met each other as reporters at the Daily Chronicle in DeKalb.

Part of the

PROCESS Crystal Lake native releases cookbook of quick and easy family recipes that require a food processor

By LINDSAY WEBER editorial@nwherald.com

Nicki Sizemore, formerly of Crystal Lake, author of “The Food Processor Family Cookbook.”

I

mpossible. Wishful thinking.

Unattainable. Forget about it. All words often used when describing the possibility of preparing a fresh, wholesome dinner from scratch on a weeknight.

Food writer, stylist and culinary instructor Nicki Sizemore is not convinced.

“As a cook, my focus and goal is to get meals made from scratch, on the table, within an hour any night of the week,” said Sizemore, a Crystal Lake native.

Her secret weapon? The food processor.

Sizemore has released her first cookbook, “The Food Processor Family Cookbook,” featuring the kitchen tool and also is author of the blog “From Scratch Fast.” Both publications feature meals that can be made from fresh ingredients in under an hour.

“Doing a food processor cookbook resonated with me,” Sizemore said. “It can be used as a personal sous chef.

There are so many ways to use this appliance to expedite your time in the kitchen.”

The Prairie Ridge High School graduate, whose parents, Steve and Sharon Hagge, still live in Crystal Lake, lives in Cold Spring, New York, with her daughters, Juniper and Ella, and husband, James, who she admits are her best recipe guinea pigs.

Sizemore originally went down the PR and Marketing route after graduating college, but in 2005, she decided to give up her corporate job and attend what is now the International Culinary Center in New York City.

Sizemore admitted she was concerned at the time her family might think she was a little crazy since the food culture was not what it is today.

“I definitely got the weird eye from my parents when I told them my plan,” Sizemore said. “But that was my passion, and I’m so grateful that I now love what I do. My family was still very supportive.”

After culinary school, Sizemore began teaching cooking classes and then got into food styling as things seemed to fall into place.

“It all happened gradually,” Sizemore said. “It’s kind of how life works.

I got a lot of work from other work.

I’ve gotten to this really great place.”

Sizemore said after she had children, she realized what a challenge it can be to constantly prepare wholesome, nutritious meals for her family and wanted to find ways to make it happen.

“I’ve always been passionate about farm-to-table eating,” Sizemore said.

“As my life got busier, I realized what a huge challenge this can be for people.

See COOKBOOK, page 5

“Cooking from scratch can take all day. I wanted to make meals from fresh ingredients that are naturally nutritious and that bring my family together. I want to get us back into the kitchen and away from these things that pull us out of it. At my house, it’s our favorite part of the day.”

Sizemore said the key to her recipes is fresh ingredients.

“The Food Processor Family Cookbook” has a wide range, including sauces, entrées and even baby food and features recipes such as chicken and peach kabobs with peanut dipping sauce, Tuscan grilled skirt steak, Sriracha chicken wings and blueberry almond galette, to name a few of her family’s favorites.

“You would be surprised as to what you can actually do with a food processor,” Sizemore said. “You can grate a pound of cheese in seconds, make

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Fit the food processor with the S blade.

Add ½ cup of rolled oats and process to a coarse flour. Add the remaining 1 cup of oats, along with the pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, dried fruit, coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse until the nuts are very coarsely chopped, about 5 to 6 pulses.

In a small bowl, stir together the honey, coconut oil, and vanilla. Pour the honey mixture over the ingredients in the food processor, and pulse until the mixture comes together and looks damp, about 8 pulses.

Transfer the granola to the baking sheet.

Using a rubber spatula, press it into a ½-inch-thick rectangle, about 8-by-12 inches.

Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the pan 180 degrees, and bake another 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown along the edges and golden on top.

Cool the granola on the pan. Break it into clusters before serving. Spoon the reserved mint pesto over the lamb chops, and serve.

The granola clusters can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

sauces, really awesome granola and batters for muffins and breads. I adapted my grandmother’s banana bread for the food processor. You save so much prep time, and you don’t dirty all those bowls, which means less clean up.”

Sizemore said the key to healthy eating is as simple as getting processed foods out of our diet and using wholesome foods from scratch.

Sizemore intends to roll out new topics on her blog and has a YouTube channel in the works that will offer simple tips and quick recipes. She most recently launched a class with Craftsy, which uses the Vitamix blender, another tool she said optimizes time in the kitchen.

In a world that looks for fast and easy versus clean and healthy, Sizemore said, it’s worth putting the work in.

“Five-ingredient recipes can be a great thing as long as it’s five good ingredients,” Sizemore said. “I like a lot of flavor and color, so I want to give my recipes a lot of flavor and color. I don’t like boring food. Good food takes time and commitment. It’s all about planning ahead. My recipes include planning and storage tips. The payoffs are huge as far as our bodies and our relationships with our families and the environment. It brings my family together, and the food just tastes better.

At the end of the day isn’t that what it should be all about?”

Gem Talk

®

By Karly Bulinski

I would like to start off today by saying thanks to everyone who participated in last weeks Gem Talk word search. The winner of the drawing will be announced this Tuesday and will receive a basket of sparkles and jewelry cleaning supplies to go along with today’s topic…old wives tales about jewelry cleaning.

A few weeks ago, I stumbled across a posting in a group website where a girl was asking about techniques to clean her diamond ring. Intrigued to see the answers that were being offered to her, I started reading all of the comments and oh my gosh some of them were really silly! The most common theme seemed to be recommending that she clean her precious gemstones and metals with toothpaste or baking soda. Which is not a very good idea considering there are abrasives in these products that can easily scratch metals – especially gold. Some others included vinegar and bleach, which over time can break down the base metals and should never be in direct contact with your jewelry. A few other old wives tales I came across while researching this topic…ketchup is supposed to make your silver shine brighter and a little soak in a beer bath is supposed to do wonders for your yellow gold. As silly as these are, now I’m curious to see if they work. You can head over to my blog, gemtalk.org, and see my results of this experiment if you’re as curious as I am!

So how should you clean your jewelry? Every six months, or more if you’d like, you should bring your jewelry in to Steffan’s to have it checked and professionally cleaned in our ultrasonic jewelry bath. In addition to making it look brand new, we can tell you if there is any work that needs to be done and make sure there are no loose stones. If you want to keep your jewels clean at home, using a bowl of warm water and a gentle dish soap (like dawn) soak your jewelry, except for pearls, for 20-40 minutes and use a soft toothbrush to remove any gunk that may be hiding in between prongs or gemstones. There are also jewelry-cleaning solutions on the market that you can purchase for home use that are very inexpensive, yet pretty effective.

Celebrate spring with Gardenfest 2016, tips from expert Mendez

By LINDSAY WEBER editorial@nwherald.com

The clocks have sprung ahead and the weather is starting to climb out of the icy winter temperatures, so now is the time to start stretching those green thumbs. McHenry County College has an event to get you out of hibernation and back into the garden.

From 7:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. April 9, MCC and University of Illinois Extension McHenry County Master Gardeners present McHenry County Gardenfest 2016, a day-long series of garden-related seminars and workshops.

Included will be more than 30 breakout sessions with topics such as permaculture basics, cooking with herbs, creating terrariums and garden design.

The keynote speaker for the event, Kerry Ann Mendez, is the author of three gardening books and specializes in low-maintenance garden and landscape design as owner of Perennially Yours.

The Kennebunk, Maine, native will speak about gardening smart and the best perennials, season-by-season, focusing on low-maintenance and high-impact.

“I’m very excited to be speaking at the program,” Mendez said. “I really believe in gardening smart by using great plants and great practices, which include more organic and sustainable methods as well as functional design techniques.”

Although she’s been educating and inspiring fellow gardeners for more than 20 years, the 59-year-old admits gardening was a hobby turned career that came out of desperation versus passion.

“Early on in my marriage, my husband

GARDENFEST 2016 WHEN: 7:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. April 9 WHERE: Luecht Conference Center, McHenry County College COST & INFO: $45 for pre-registered attendees; $50 at the door; cost includes lunch. For registration and information, visit www.mchenry.edu/gardenfest, email conferencecenter@mchenry.edu or call 815-455-8764.

and I fell on hard times financially, and I needed to find a weekend job,” Mendez said.

“One day I turned into the driveway of a garden center. I didn’t have gardening experience and I knew nothing about plants, but I told them that I could learn. Just being there among the plants and learning about them became a passion. What started as a need became the start of a whole new world for me that I eventually turned into a successful business.”

Mendez’s book, “The Right-Size Flower Garden,” released in 2015, is a guide to having a jaw-dropping garden with 50 percent less work and using more sustainable practices, such as organic native plants,

no pesticides and low water. Mendez said it embraces the movement of being more environmentally aware.

“Gardening is so enjoyable and such a stress reliever,” Mendez said. “You’re able to get out in nature, and if you work with great plants that work harder for you than you do for them, you can relax in a stress-free environment.”

The event is designed for gardeners of all skill levels, and Mendez offered some tips for those who are readying their gardens now that spring is upon us, both for seasoned dirt-slingers as well as newbies.

“Now is time to do some spring cleanup,” Mendez said. “Cut back your plants and remove last year’s foliage to give them a jump start with an application of an organic spring fertilizer, and apply an organic mulch to reduce weeds and water loss.”

For new gardeners who need additional assistance starting their garden as well as with plant selection, Mendez encourages them to contact their regional extension office and local garden clubs for information based on the local climate and environment.

“Gardens are a way to have our own little piece of the planet in our yards,” Mendez said. “It’s just as much about caring for wildlife such as pollinators, birds and butterflies, while having a garden that gives us great pleasure using practices that are better for the world around us. We want to sit in the lawn chair and let the flowers do their thing.”

“

Gardening is so enjoyable and such a stress reliever.

You’re able to get out in nature, and if you work with great plants that work harder for you than you do for them, you can relax in a stress-free environment.”

At Superman’s side

S

Lakewood actress filmed with caped crusader in ‘Batman v Superman’

By JAMI KUNZER µ jkunzer@shawmedia.com

o perhaps she’s not Wonder Woman, but actress Alicia Regan of Lakewood has spent some time with Superman.

And so, to her kids – and likely fans of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” – she might as well be.

“I am the coolest mom ever,” said Regan, an actress credited as “Metropolis Citizen #10” in the blockbuster, which opened March 25.

As is often the case with the world of movie-making, Regan’s scenes didn’t make the final version of the film, but she said she will be in what director Zack Snyder is calling the film’s “Ultimate Cut” – a longer, likely more violent (and possibly R-rated) version.

“He introduces a bunch of other characters and sub-plots that are part of the future universe of The Justice League [in the longer version],” she said, adding a confidentiality agreement prevents her from saying more.

Regan auditioned for the role in the summer of 2014, nearly forgot about it and then got the call to film two scenes in November 2014 in downtown Chicago – Superman’s Metropolis in the movie.

Sworn to the utmost secrecy by the filmmakers – the script came the day of the shoot on yellow paper so those involved couldn’t photocopy it – she had no idea how her part would turn out.

Seeing her name in the credits was exciting, though.

“Basically, it’s when all hell was breaking loose,” she said of her scenes. “I was with Superman for one of the scenes we shot ... and someone got hurt, and that’s all I’m really allowed to say.”

The role included a few lines, and she was told to improvise some more. She wasn’t told where the scenes, filmed outside overnight in Chicago, would fall in the storyline.

“It was amazing to be part of it, just the process of it,” she said. “The whole thing has been fun to follow. … It’s just fantastic, getting to meet Zack Snyder and being part of such a huge production even for the short time I was there. It helped open a lot of doors.”

Along with the rest of the country, Regan had to wait to see the final outcome of the movie,

including her part, when it opened in theaters.

She and her husband, Richard Kuranda, also an actor and the director of the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake, went to see the PG-13 movie together first, before bringing along their children – 11-year-old Olivia, 9-year-old Sophia, 7-year-old Eliza and 6-year-old Wyatt.

Regardless of not seeing their mom on screen, the kids have bragging rights.

“They’re super-excited,” Regan said.

Alicia Regan Originally from New York, where she Photos provided founded Epic Repertory Theatre, she has had numerous TV roles and appeared on many stages, including the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake, where she most recently starred as Blanche in “A Streetcar Named Desire.”

“Theater is what I love more than anything,” she said.

The play was presented by the Raue’s in-house theater company, Williams Street Repertory, last April. Regan is a founding ensemble member of Williams Street Repertory, and Kuranda is directing the company’s latest, “Death of a Salesman,” set to open April 22 at the Raue.

She and Kuranda also are in pre-production for the movie, “Alderson,” parts of which they plan to film in McHenry County. Based on true events, “Alderson” tells the story of Dr. Mary B. Harris, a fierce and dedicated prison warden who tries to revolutionize the American prison system in the 1920s. Among the prisoners she works to rehabilitate are Axis Sally, Tokyo Rose, Billie Holiday, Lolita Lebron, Squeaky Fromme and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.

“We’ve been tossing this around for 10 or 11 years,” she said. “It’s just the right time.”

The plan is to begin filming in McHenry County in May, she said.

But this weekend, it’s all about Superman … or is it Batman?

“I don’t know. I think I’d have to say Superman,” she said.

Museum opens exhibit for spring break SHAW MEDIA VOLO – Those staying in the area for spring break can explore new exhibits at the Volo Auto Museum, 27582 Volo Village Road, Volo.

Museum director Brian Grams said the museum’s Evolution of Travel and Lodging exhibit will be open for a sneak peek throughout the week.

“It’s [officially opening] Father’s Day, but we want to allow the spring break rush to get a taste of what’s to come,” Grams said.

The new indoor exhibit is the result of a nearly two-year undertaking and incorporates everything from an 1895 caboose to a covered wagon, stage coach, 1920s-era roadside cabin, ’40s and ’50s pull-behind campers and even a ’70s Volkswagen bus camper, according to a news release.

Taking things from the actual past to the fictional future, “Star Wars” fans can get a sneak peek of their own distinction.

The museum’s recently acquired Landspeeder shows how the hovercrafts actually were fitted around the chassis of a small British two-seater.

Long before computer-generated imagery was the rule, special effects crews faced a big challenge, the release stated.

“They had to literally use smoke and mirrors to disguise the wheels to make it look like it’s floating,” Grams said.

Under development in the museum’s Showroom 3, the new “Star Wars” display also will feature a scale model of the Millennium Falcon and life-sized characters.

The sneak peak continues through April 3 (Princesses and Super Heroes Day) when costumed characters

Even Mickey Mouse is expected to make an appearance. Children 12 and younger who arrive in costume will be admitted free with a paid adult.

A professional photographer will be available to take souvenir photos next to the Batmobile, the release stated.

The Volo Auto Museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. It features about 400 classic, antique, muscle, Holly-

wood cars and more. Admission is $14.95 for adults, $8.95 for children ages 5 to 12 and free for children 4 and younger. For information, call 815385-3644 or find Volo Auto Museum on Facebook.

Dissociation can keep you from the present Have you ever heard the phrase, “the lights are on but nobody’s home,” when talking about a person who doesn’t appear to be 100 percent present in a conversation? That person has the look of one who has dissociated; a person who is functioning socially on one level but whose mind is elsewhere. Dissociation, at some level, is a common defense mechanism for most of us from time to time when dealing with painful or stressful situations.

Let’s say I’m at a social event and I get cornered by the guy who talks nonstop about his outstanding business successes. He never asks a question of me and never comes up for air. I want to be polite, but I want out of the situation. I want to mingle a little and meet other people. I start thinking, while he’s expounding on his complex tax situation, about how

I’m going to bring the conversation to a close. I’m now officially dissociated. My mouth is moving, my head is nodding, but I’m thinking about something else.

Multiply that relatively benign example by 10, either in intensity or in number, and you have a problem.

“Julie” was a bright girl. In fact, she had been in the National Honor Society in high school and college and had a career teaching mathematics at the local community college.

Her dad had died when she was young, and her mom was an alcoholic who was unable to take care of herself, much less Julie for most of her life. She was raised by her older brother and sister, who alternately ignored and criticized her throughout most of her formative years.

Julie learned to live in a world of her own, thinking about fashion

UrbanCare Welcomes

and lifestyles of the rich and famous, reading fan magazines and fanaticizing about being like them. When at school, she stayed to herself and buried herself in mathematics. Almost everything Julie did was to avoid her painful feelings of abandonment and grief, but she knew nothing about it. She lived a life of almost constant dissociation. Her relationships in school were shallow, and she was labeled a loner and weird.

After graduation, she wanted to be like the others and marry and have a family. Her first relationship was to a drug-addicted car dealer and lasted about two years. Two marriages and one con man later, Julie started seeing a therapist who was able to see her dissociative defenses and begin to help her work through the painful emotions she had been hiding, unbeknownst to

Unique Ladies Clothing

her, for years.

Julie will tell you the first six months of her recovery were the most painful yet the most liberating time of her life. She will tell you she cried every day and fought every day to stay present. Her therapist guided her into an Adult Children of Alcoholics group, where she began to learn she was far from the only person who suffered this way.

She began to learn how to share feelings, have real relationships and feel, finally, like she belonged someplace.

Really?

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent. Get screened!

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, do everything you can to prevent colorectal cancer. Screening really does save lives!
