Bracket busted; thanks, Big Ten Last year, I was feeling pretty good about my NCAA men’s basketball bracket, even though I wasn’t in an office pool.

I correctly picked the Final Four – Wisconsin, Kentucky, Duke and Michigan State – which I thought was simply amazing. And I picked Wisconsin to upset undefeated Kentucky, and Duke to upend Michigan State, for a Duke-Wisconsin national championship game. And I got that right, too, and I was feeling pretty much like a genius. Alas, I had Wisconsin winning it all, but Duke prevailed.

Drat.

You have to be happy with your bracket if you pick all the Final Four teams, and picking the finalists is just whipped cream on top.

The cherry is picking the national champion.

All told, last year, I missed only 15 games and amassed 48 winners, and I was very happy with that. Not that I followed college basketball all that closely. There are too many games to keep track of during the course of a three-month season. I’ve got a life to live.

But I would check in on the scores, making mental notes. So, I got lucky.

This year, I was back to true form with a forlorn bracket.

I thought this was the year of the Big Ten, which inexplicably has 14 teams, having added Penn State, Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers over the years. It should be the Big 14, but that doesn’t ring a bell. The Big Ten is a brand, and Big Ten officials are intent on maintaining that brand, even if there are 14 teams. When I went to the University of Iowa, there were 10 teams in the Big Ten. Try explaining 14 teams in the Big Ten to a 4-yearold learning to count. You avoid the Big Ten. It’s an aberration 57-year-olds don’t get.

I picked three Big Ten teams to make it to the Final Four – Michigan State, Indiana and Maryland – and rounded it out with Duke.

I had Maryland and Indiana playing for the national championship, with Indiana winning it all. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Oklahoma, Villanova, North Carolina and Syracuse were in the Final Four. I wasn’t even close. Syracuse? I didn’t pick the Orange to win a game.

Perfection isn’t expected in choosing winners in your bracket. It is nigh unto impossible. The odds of correctly picking all the winners in the field of 64 teams is 1 in 9.2 quintillion, according to the Incredible Internet, and that’s based on an analysis by DePaul math professor Jay Bergen. That’s 9.2 followed by 17 zeros.

But the odds improve dramatically if you know a little something about basketball.

They drop to 1 in 128 billion. Just for compar-

WHERE IT’S AT

VIEWS Dick Peterson ison’s sake, your chances of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million, which is almost a sure thing compared to picking a perfect bracket. Your odds of getting hit by lightning this year are 1 in 960,000, which makes me want to stay indoors during every thunderstorm, comparing that with picking a perfect bracket. It’s bound to happen. The lightning strike, not the bracket.

I knew I was in trouble the second day of the tournament when No. 2 seed Michigan State lost to No. 15 seed Middle Tennessee State University. The Blue Raiders are only the eighth 15th seed to beat a No. 2 seed, which have won 120 games in tournament history. There’s something not right about a four-word university winning an NCAA tournament game. But it happens, and it busted my bracket. I expected only the worst from there on out. That’s why it’s called March Madness, which the NCAA has trademarked.

A No. 1 seed never has lost to a No. 16 seed – they’re 128-0 to date – and I’ve never been so foolish as to pick a No. 16 seed in an upset. But that’s where the 1 in 9.2 quintillion comes in to play. My guess is the person to pick the perfect bracket will have selected a No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 seed and have gotten it right, thus setting destiny on its course.

I should have saved my bracket for historical value the year I won the office pool.

That was some 30 years ago, and the pot was all of about $15. I don’t remember the year or a thing about the tournament, other than my bracket was the best. I was riding on top of the world, much to the sports’ staff dismay.

This year, I had 25 losers in my bracket.

Ugh. What a difference a year makes. I’m tempted to make a prediction on who will win the national championship, but my deadline has me writing this before Saturday night’s Final Four games, so I could be picking a team that isn’t even in the championship as you read this. Oh, what the heck. Oklahoma is going to win it all. I’m boycotting North Carolina.

Phones have played big roles in at least two local drug-induced homicide cases.

Cellphones key in Gliniewicz, Crystal Lake drug-induced homicide investigations

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – When investigators needed to get into Fox Lake police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz’s password-protected cellphone after his Sept. 1 shooting death, they turned the devices over to the FBI. FBI officials accessed his personal Samsung phone, which local detectives said had been used to send and receive 6,500 pages of text messages that implicated him in years of embezzling and other criminal activity.

Without information gleaned from the phone and its records, Lake County Sheriff’s Detective Christopher Covelli said it’s possible the investigation into Gliniewicz’s death – determined to be a suicide staged to look like a homicide – might remain unsolved.

“The phones turned Lt. Joe out to be extremely im- Gliniewicz portant because they revealed numerous deleted messages that showed the state of mind he was in, in the months leading up to his suicide,” Covelli said. “It showed he was involved in scams and cover-ups, and his hatred for the village administrator.”

The FBI would not comment on its involvement in getting into Gliniewicz’s phones. Likewise, the federal agency is not revealing how it was able to get into the phone used by a gunman in a mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.

The ongoing battle between the FBI and Apple over cracking an encrypted iPhone has captured the attention of local law enforcement, who say smartphone access is a constantly evolving challenge they face in investigations ranging from domestic disputes and small drug cases to homicides.

Although investigators contend the Gliniewicz case was exceptional in how crucial cellphones were to reaching a conclusion, as well as the amount of data that was uncovered, local police said cellphones have become unavoidable in investigations.

“Because the capabilities of phones have increased, as has the fact that

CRYSTAL LAKE – The City Council could reverse its ban on video gambling under a compromise proposal offered by local businesses that want the machines.

Under an ordinance set for a vote Tuesday evening, video gambling in city limits would be legal, but with restrictions such as no exterior signs advertising it. Video gaming signage has been a deal-breaker for many on the board, such as Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley, who said it hurts a city’s image.

Crystal Lake and Lakewood are the two remaining McHenry County governments that have ordinances forbidding video gambling. Illinois legalized video gambling in 2009 to help generate revenue to pay off the bonds for a $31 billion capital plan, although the machines didn’t go live until late 2012.

A coalition of businesses that want the machines have been pressing the City Council for years to end the ban. Besides the extra money the machines generate, businesses allege the ban puts them at a competitive disad-

Woodstock St. vantage.

“Obviously, we’ll be conducting a more in-depth review as a City Council, but on its face, it seems to address some of the concerns the City Council and I have had with video gambling in the past,” Shepley said.

Establishments that serve alcohol, truck stops, and fraternal and veterans organizations can have up to five of the machines under state law. The state gets 30 percent of the proceeds, 5 percent of which is given back to the local government, which also can charge an annual fee for each machine. The remaining 70 percent of the proceeds are split between the machine owner and the establishment.

The ordinance if approved would be the most restrictive in the county.

It would limit licenses to alcohol establishments, impose two annual fees totaling $1,100, and set a $500 fee per terminal. Home rule municipalities such

as Crystal Lake have the right under the law to impose extra restrictions.

Crystal Lake was one of six local governments that took advantage of an opt-out under the law and banned video gambling. Four of them have since changed their minds – Woodstock reversed its ban in 2012; and Cary, Algonquin and the McHenry County Board reversed their bans the following year.

The Woodstock City Council has had concerns similar to Crystal Lake’s, and voted last year to ban exterior video gambling signage. The city has 21 establishments with licenses and a total of 92 machines, second only to McHenry and Fox Lake, each of which have 100 machines in more than 20 establishments, according to state records.

Twenty municipalities and the county’s unincorporated areas have video gambling machines, according to Illinois Gaming Board data. The 806 machines generated a total of $154,928 in local tax revenue in February, not including permit fees.

Statewide, video gambling in February generated $22.2 million for the state and $4.4 million for county and municipal governments.

Supper clubs are thought to be a mostly Wisconsin phenomenon, but their reach still extends into northern Illinois, including sites in McHenry County. Diners in the 1940s and ‘50s could count on staples such as relish trays, broasted chicken and Friday night fish fries, prime rib Saturdays and Sunday brunch. That tradition has continued at places such as Crandall’s in Hebron, and two Route 14 destinations in Harvard: The Heritage House and the Big Foot Inn. The McHenry County Historical Society & Museum’s 30th annual Sampler Lecture Series continues at 7 p.m. Monday with “Wisconsin Supper Clubs – An Old Fashioned Experience,” presented by author/filmmaker Ron Faiola. Discover why supper clubs are such a big part of Wisconsin’s food culture and why they continue to remain popular today. Tickets are $10. For information visit www.gothistory.org.

LOCAL BRIEFS Pankow said no one was injured when a Garage in Huntley heavily damaged after car crashes into it Buick Century went up in flames about 5 HUNTLEY – A garage near Reed Road was damaged Saturday when a driver left the road, traveled through a corn field and crashed into the side of the structure, a fire official said.

Huntley firefighter Keith Schroeder said the driver of the car was treated for minor injuries at the scene, which happened about 3:30 p.m. on Reed Road east of Vine Street.

Schroeder said the garage was about 400 feet away from the road. He did not believe weather to be a factor in the crash.

The garage sustained heavy damage, he said. Schroeder said the garage was part of a private residence and the family that owned the structure witnessed the accident while working outside on the farm.

Huntley police also responded to the scene, but could not immediately be reached for comment Saturday.

HARVARD – The state has revoked a Harvard animal shelter’s license after officials disagreed with her sentiment that she did not need to disclose she was a convicted felon because she had adopted a new identity.

Angela Johnson, the owner of Ceasers Heaven animal rescue, was known by a different name in the early 1990s when she and her then-boyfriend were convicted of running a scam to bilk thousands of dollars from couples hoping to adopt her unborn child, according to reports obtained by the Northwest Herald under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. In a February administrative hearing, Johnson told Illinois Department of Agriculture officials she did not believe she needed to report her felony

record from Lake County because she changed her name and Social Security number in 2000. Officials refuted her claim, revoking her license and ordering her to turn animals in her care over to McHenry County Animal Control.

Johnson, 44, also is barred from holding an animal shelter license for a minimum of three years.

More than a month after the state’s decision, Johnson said she stands by her application and decision to write “no” on the Aug. 29, 2013, application when it asked if she ever had been convicted of a felony.

“When I changed everything, the Social Security Administration told me I was a new person,” Johnson said, adding, “Everything from before is gone.”

Based on documentation contained in the complaint from the state’s agriculture department, Johnson, under her old name, was convicted of 13 felony counts, including fraud, theft and unlawful placement of an adopted child. Documents show she was sentenced to nine years in prison, but was eligible for parole after half that time.

“When I changed everything, the Social Security Administration told me I was a new person.

Everything from before is gone.”

Angela Johnson Ceasers Heaven animal rescue owner The Animal Welfare Act stipulates a felony conviction is considered when the department reviews an application, but does not bar someone from obtaining a license. Making false statements, however, is grounds for revocation under the law.

Johnson said she had no intention of disclosing that history. She said a tip to the state agency about her criminal past was part of a “witch hunt” aimed at her.

“The Department of Agriculture would have never known had somebody not called them because my name and Social Security number does not show up,” Johnson said regarding court records and convictions.

February’s hearing was not Johnson’s first time facing formal discipline from the state agency.

She was fined in 2013 for operating an animal shelter out of her Mundelein home without a license, documents show.

She was fined $2,500 in February 2015 for failing to sterilize and/or microchip a golden retriever and keep adoption records. Inspector Mark Ballman in his report noted there had been “multiple violations in a short period of time.”

Those violations and the felony convictions are small, Johnson said, compared with what she has done to improve the lives of thousands of dogs.

“I think that in 24 years I have done good in life,” Johnson said. “I’ve done good things. Why do I need to be crucified? Is this fair to me and my family?”

While she won’t be able to run an animal rescue of her own, Johnson said she plans to continue helping other shelters by volunteering or fostering. She is helping a new pet store in Marengo by offering food and nutrition education.

Trustees want to explore other options for project at main branch

ALGONQUIN – Three women and one man were taken with non-life threatening injuries to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin after a crash at the intersection of Algonquin and Lake Cook roads Saturday, a fire official said.

Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District Battalion Chief John Greene said the crash appeared to be a T-bone crash between a Honda Civic and a minivan.

Both vehicles sustained moderate damage, Greene said. No one else was involved in the crash.

Algonquin police were on scene investigating the crash, he said. Police could not be reached for comment Saturday.

hopes of including some of the construction work in the budget for the fiscal year beginning in July.

At the direction of the board, Bero said he will work with staff and architects to look at other options, which could include other configurations of the project or scaled-back upgrades.

“The ball is back in my court and the court of my staff and our advisers to kind of walk it back to the beginning of conceiving of this project,” Bero said.

“We’re going back to the drawing board, literally and figuratively. We’ll be taking our time, going step by step and having a fresh discussion on the service needs.”

Bero said reconfiguring the library’s current space has been on the table all along, but the involved parties see that option as a step backwards because the library would have to sacrifice too much of its collection.

He said the goal of staff members is still to complete an expansion without asking residents for more funding through a referendum.

ALGONQUIN – Plans for an expansion of the Algonquin Area Public Library’s main branch are on hold after its trustees decided they were not comfortable moving forward with the full $7 million plan before exploring other options for the project.

Katrina McGuire, the treasurer of the Board of Trustees, said the board believes in and supports the research of the library staff regarding the future needs of the library, but she wanted to make sure the board explored all options to ensure it was spending its money wisely.

“The board is very serious about being fiscally prudent,” McGuire said. “We

have a responsibility to the taxpayers of our area to make sure we’re analyzing every angle and every appropriate move.”

At the March 21 meeting, trustees pumped the brakes on the plan, which would add more than 8,000 square feet to the library’s main branch, including meeting spaces, computer classrooms and interactive play areas.

Executive Director Stephen Bero said the financial scenario he presented at that meeting included a $3.4 million dollar loan, which he called an upper limit estimate.

He said the library’s normal revenue stream could handle the debt service costs over 10 or 11 years without a negative effect on the normal operational costs. Bero said some trustees wanted to look into borrowing less or not borrowing at all, and he would analyze and present those options.

The plan was originally presented to the board in January, and Bero said he had been moving at a quick pace in

Village working to add pedestrian crossing gates near Metra station

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com

CARY – The village is seeking to add signalized pedestrian crossing gates as part of upcoming upgrades to its Metra station.

Village Administrator Chris Clark said the idea came up during discussions with officials from Metra and Union Pacific over the past week.

Union Pacific data indicated there have been 15 near misses reported by pedestrians at that station in the past three years, Clark said.

“That’s unfortunately what happens at some of these crossings,” Clark said. “Both the village and Union Pacific and Metra are wanting to enhance the safety of the crossing.”

Clark said the project would be sim-

ilar to pedestrian crossing gates installed in Villa Park and would likely cost $500,000.

The village was notified Monday of Union Pacific’s desire for the new crossing and discussed it further on Wednesday, Clark said, and Metra and the village will collaborate to try to secure the funding necessary.

The village is in the process of designing a $2.5 million to $3 million station upgrade. A $2 million federal grant will cover most of the project, but the village will likely cover most of the remaining cost with money from its commuter parking fund.

The project will add a warming shelter to the inbound side of the platform.

Officials are targeting a spring 2017 groundbreaking for the project, which they hope will be finished in 2018.

Apple refused in court to help the FBI by writing software to remove safeguards against guessing that iPhone’s passcode. It’s unclear where the case will go with the Justice Department’s mysterious ability to crack the phone.

McHenry police and the FBI have been unsuccessful in getting into at least a couple of phones, Birk said.

While the dearth of information hasn’t entirely stymied any investigations, it can put a strain on getting a conviction.

“You’re building a case up, so you have probable cause. You have more than enough evidence to prove it if you have that piece of the puzzle,” Birk said “If you don’t have it, that could be the difference between a conviction or not getting a conviction, or the state’s attorney’s office saying they have enough to proceed with the case.”

In McHenry County, investigators send phones to the FBI’s Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory in Chicago.

The office serves 18 northern Illinois counties. Its services include forensically extracting data from cellphones.

McHenry sends phones to the lab about once a month, Deputy Chief John Birk said.

“It’s not as simple as, ‘Hey, can you unlock your phone. I want to scroll though text messages.’ That’s fine for investigative purposes,” Birk said.

“But it’s not going to work in court.”

Birk has heard iPhones can be the hardest to crack. In the San Bernardino case, the FBI received the help of an unknown third party to crack Apple’s security, which destroys records after a • The Associated Press contributed series of unsuccessful log-in attempts. to this story

“This is a bare operational level budget in the water sewer fund. This is not really doing many things for capital, which we all know needs to be done.”

hprokop@shawmedia.com

Joshua Blakemore Marengo assistant city administrator get, in the water sewer fund,” Assistant City Administrator Joshua Blakemore said at Monday’s meeting. “This is not really doing many things for capital, which we all know needs to be done.”

The purpose of the proposed increase was to help fill the $90,000 gap, and to put some cash aside of future capital improvement projects, both Boden and Blakemore said.

A report put together by Blakemore shows water use in Marengo has decreased an average of 3.3 percent over the past 11 years, and after staff’s presentation, Alderman James Regelin

questioned why Boden wasn’t putting more emphasis on growth for the city.

“I don’t hear that talk, and that concerns me,” Regelin said.

Aldermen Regelin, Brett Martin and Dennis Hammortree voted against the raise, while Aldermen Steven Mortensen, Todd Hall and Nicole DeBoer said yes.

“Not a fan, but I don’t really know what else we can do if we don’t have the money,” DeBoer said.

Hall followed his consent for the increase with a question for the aldermen who responded no: “Where are the cuts

MARENGO – At its next meeting, the Marengo City Council is set to vote on a proposal for increases in the water sewer bills for fiscal 2016-17.

Direction from the council, however, was split when staff asked if alderman approved of the increase to the budget at Monday’s meeting.

The estimated increase for the average homeowner using 17,000 gallons of water in a quarter would be about $9 a quarter, City Administrator Gary Boden said.

The additional dollars would come from an increase in water operations and sewage treatment operations costs, and for debt service related to water and sewer improvements, and will help fill in the anticipated $90,000 gap in the water sewer budget for the next fiscal year, Boden said.

“This is a bare operational level bud-

coming from, or what is your proposal on the revenue?”

The discussion followed with several members expressing their frustration with Hammortree, who Hall said always votes no. Hammortree eventually agreed to Mayor Don Lockhart’s request to bring information to the next council meeting on how cuts can be made.

Aldermen Matt Keenum and Michael Smith were absent from the meeting, and after the discussion, Regelin announced he was resigning because he was moving outside of his ward.

His formal resignation was effective Friday, Boden said, and Lockhart will have to replace him, with approval from the council, within 60 days.

Boden said the council will vote at the April 11 City Council meeting on an ordinance proposing to accept the increase in rates for the water sewer budget, and the final budgets for all city departments are set to be voted on at the April 25 meeting.

City OKs architecture firm to assess Old Courthouse windows

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – The Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House, built in 1857, stand as a centerpiece of Woodstock Square.

Upon closer inspection, chipped paint, rotting wood and cracked glass can be seen on the windows of the building, which the city acquired in 2011 and is now looking for ways to stabilize and possibly turn it over for private redevelopment.

Some of the building is used by the Old Courthouse Arts Center and private studios, but much of the second floor and all of the Sheriff’s House is empty and full of temporary measures to keep ceilings and windows in place.

“If you had all of the money and all the help in the world, you’d do it all at once to get it done with,” City Planner Nancy Baker said, adding that’s not realistic.

The top priority for the Old Courthouse is to repair the windows, Baker said, which was partially determined by the Old Courthouse commission. At the Woodstock City Council’s March 15 meeting, the City Council hired Gary W. Anderson Architects to pro-

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Opened in in 1858, Woodstock’s Old Courthouse was home to McHenry County government and the courts system through the 1970s, when the county moved operations to Route 47 and Ware Road. vide services to survey the courthouse windows and provide cost estimates for the bidding process for a cost of about $12,000, according to city documents.

Baker said an analysis of the windows helps to determine their condition, so when the project is put up for

bid, bidders won’t have to assume a worst-case scenario for repairing and replacing the windows.

Council member Mike Turner was absent, and council member RB Thompson was the sole no vote after making comments about Anderson mainly re-

ceiving bids from Rockford companies and coming in over deadline, according to drafted meeting minutes.

With the nearly 80 windows on the Old Courthouse, rain and wind are let into the building, causing heat loss in the winter, Baker said. There are also safety concerns with the windows and other areas of the property.

“Making it totally safe is the big thing there, there are so many little nuances that I know need to be done,” Baker said, including bringing the height of the railing on the original staircase up to current building codes.

Windows range in age from originals, to some replacements from the 1990s, she said. While temporary measures have been used over the years to keep the window sashes from falling apart and glass from falling out, the frames have been untouched, Baker said.

The city’s Historic Preservation Commission decided the windows should mirror the look of the building in 1905, when its additions were complete, Baker said.

Projects for the property are funded through a downtown tax increment financing district.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – The village’s Parks and Recreation Department is seeking donations to build a children’s garden that would grow food for the Lake in the Hills/Algonquin Interfaith Food Pantry.

Laura Barron, the village’s director of Parks and Recreation, said the planned garden would be adjacent to the Victory Garden maintained by volunteers of the food pantry at 1113 Pyott Road.

Barron said the garden will serve multiple purposes. Organic gardening would be integrated into the park district’s preschool, summer camp and after-school programs.

“They can learn about gardening and also learn about proper nutrition and healthy eating,” Barron said. “The

great byproduct is all the produce will be donated to the food pantry.”

Additionally, participants from the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association would be involved with the garden, and senior citizens could be involved in intergenerational programs with children from the park’s programs. The garden will have raised beds and be fully accessible, Barron said.

The village has set a fundraising goal of $5,000 and is accepting donations through April 28 at the National Recreation and Park Association’s Fund Your Park site at fundyourpark. org/campaign/detail/4347.

In-person donations also will be accepted at the Parks and Recreation Department, and those who donate can write their name on the wall outside the community room.

NEW YORK – Latin Jazz saxophonist Leandro “Gato” Barbieri, who composed the Grammy-winning music for the steamy Marlon Brando film “Last Tango in Paris” and recorded dozens of albums over a career spanning more than seven decades, has died at age 83.

Laura Barbieri, his wife of nearly 20 years, said her husband died Saturday in a New York hospital from pneumonia. The musician recently had bypass surgery to remove a blood clot.

“Music was a mystery to Gato, and each time he played was a new experience for him, and he wanted it to be that way for his audience,” she said.

“He was honored for all the years he had a chance to bring his music all around the world.”

The Argentine-born musician recorded some 35 albums between 1967 and 1982, when he stopped consistently making new records. He toured regularly and went on to record four more albums, including 1997’s smooth jazz “Que Pasa,” which reached No. 2 on Billboard’s contemporary jazz charts.

Although in poor health, Barbieri, still sporting his trademark black fedora hat, had been performing monthly at the Blue Note jazz club in New York,

LONDON – Douglas Wilmer, who played detective Sherlock Holmes in a 1960s TV series, has died at 96.

The Sherlock Holmes Society of London said Wilmer died Thursday in a hospital in Ipswich, eastern England.

Wilmer played the pipe-smoking sleuth a series of TV dramas in 1964 and 1965. The Sherlock Holmes Society said “for many, he was the seminal television Sherlock Holmes.”

In a tribute, the society called his characterization “incisive, drily witty, utterly in command of events ... exactly as Sherlock Holmes should look and sound.”

Wilmer returned to the role in the 1975 TV movie “The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother” and in a series of audio books.

Wilmer also appeared alongside Christopher Lee in the “Fu Manchu” movies and with Roger Moore in 1960s TV adventure series “The Saint” and in the James Bond film “Octopussy.”

Moore tweeted that Wilmer was “a fine actor and joyous to be in ‘The Saint’ and ‘Octopussy’ with.”

2 employees at youth home charged in death of Chicago teen

WAUKEGAN – Two men working at a residential facility for troubled children in northern Illinois have been charged in the asphyxiation death of a 16-year-old Chicago boy who lived there.

The Lake County James E. Davis Major Crime Task Force announced the charges Saturday. James E. Davis, 37, of Round Lake was charged with Justin J. Serak involuntary manslaughter and obstruction of justice.

Justin J. Serak, 27, of Kenosha, Wisconsin, was charged with obstruction of justice.

Shaquan Allen was pronounced dead at a hospital Wednesday. An autopsy found he died of asphyxiation.

The incident occurred at the Allendale Association in Lake Villa.

Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said the two employees struggled with the boy while responding to a “behavioral issue” and Davis put him in a chokehold.

Tribe’s bingo hall plan under review by federal agency

SHABBONA – A federal agency is reviewing a proposal to put a Native American electronic bingo hall on the outskirts of a northern Illinois village.

The plan from the Kansas-based Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation would put a 24-hour bingo hall near the DeKalb County village of Shabbona. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is reviewing the proposal.

It collected public comments on the casino’s environmental impact in January and February.

Department of Interior spokeswoman Nedra Darling said a preliminary report on that impact is expected in October.

U of Illinois union for non-tenured faculty considers strike

URBANA – About 500 University of Illinois faculty members plan to vote on a potential strike.

Members of the Non-Tenure Faculty Coalition Local 6546 said their negotiations with the university were not progressing after meetings with a federal mediator.

The union represents faculty members who are not part of the tenure system and are paid less than tenure-track faculty.

It is trying to reach its first contract with the school after winning recognition a year and a half ago.

Dorothee Schneider is a history instructor and spokeswoman for the union. She told The News-Gazette in Champaign that the union hopes members will authorize a potential strike to help break the deadlock when they vote over the next week.

Local media reports indicate the improvements to the First Division Museum at Cantigny Park in Wheaton will celebrate all 100 years of the military unit’s history. The museum was founded in 1960 and hasn’t seen any major renovations since it moved to its current building in 1992.

Current exhibits span the period from the division’s beginning in 1917 through the Vietnam War. The museum will close on Veterans Day and reopen in summer 2017.

Products for use with marijuana are seen Oct. 20 inside a licensed medical cannabis dispensary in Canton. Under a bill proposed by Republican state Rep. Dwight Kay, medical marijuana products in Illinois would be required to carry warning labels about possible side effects. Kay said the goal is to treat medical marijuana like other prescription drugs that warn patients about possible adverse effects.

Bill seeks warning labels on Illinois medical pot products

By IVAN MORENO The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Medical marijuana in Illinois would be required to carry warning labels about possible side effects under a bill proposed by a Republican lawmaker.

Rep. Dwight Kay said the goal is to treat medical marijuana like other prescription drugs that warn patients about possible adverse effects. His bill, Dwight Kay which is up for a House committee vote Monday, doesn’t specify what warnings should be on the products, leaving it to the state health department to decide.

But Kay said he would like to see warnings about how marijuana can cause drowsiness and impaired driving, and that it can affect pregnancies.

Medical marijuana sales

began in Illinois in November under a 4-year pilot program, which Kay opposed. However, he said he believes it will eventually become permanent and wants the labeling to be in place as soon as possible.

“It’s better coming sooner or later that we get the appropriate warnings on the package or whatever this is being dispensed in,” he said.

Currently, marijuana-infused products like chocolates and other edibles are required to have language stating that the cultivation center where the pot was produced is not subject to public health inspection. The products are also required to state that they’re intended for medical use and not for resale or transfer. A clearly visible label warning that the product is marijuana and not food is also required.

But listing possible side effects of the drug, whether in edible or plant form, are not among the current labeling requirements.

Bresha Brewer, the executive director of the Medical Cannabis Alliance of Illinois, said her group is still reviewing Kay’s proposal and has not taken a position yet. However, she noted that dispensaries already provide educational materials at their shops. She also said medical marijuana patients get oneon-one consultations with employees about how pot may affect them.

“Everyone is going to react differently,” Brewer said.

Dan Linn, a spokesman for the Illinois chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said he believes further labeling on the products is unnecessary. But, he added, “The more information we can provide patients is beneficial.”

Kay said his biggest concern is with people who may come in contact with the drug without understanding the possible consequences.

“For lack of a better word, the innocent bystander,” he said.

NATION BRIEFS Small plane crashes on freeway, hits car, kills 1

FALLBROOK, Calif. – A small plane crashed on a Southern California freeway Saturday, slamming into a car stopped on the side of the road, killing a woman in the vehicle and injuring five others, including the pilot and his passenger, authorities said.

The single-engine Lancair IV landed on its belly and skidded about 250 feet before striking the rear of a black Nissan Altima sedan stopped on the shoulder of the road. The driver of the car had pulled over to synchronize the Bluetooth device on his phone, California Highway Patrol Officer Chris Parent said.

The impact crumpled the back of the car, killing a 38-year-old San Diego woman in the back

seat and injuring three others in the car.

LAPD: No link between knife and Simpson case

LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles police detectives have concluded a knife found at the former estate of O.J. Simpson was not the murder weapon used to kill Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. Police Capt. Andy Neiman said Friday investigators ruled out the knife after weeks of forensic investigation.

Simpson was acquitted of stabbing to death his wife and Goldman outside her condominium on June 12, 1994.

A knife linked to the killings has never been found.

Belgian police and soldiers Tuesday secure the area outside Zaventem Airport in Brussels. Airport authorities inspected the construction and fire safety of the temporary constructions and airport staff tested the temporary arrangements and infrastructure for the check-in procedure.

Foreign fighters are evading Europe’s security net The ASSOCIATED PRESS BRUSSELS – When Ibrahim El Bakraoui blew himself up in the Brussels Airport check-in area, killing and maiming scores of travelers, it was at least the third time he had passed unimpeded through an airport terminal in recent months.

Suspected

by Turkey of being a “for- Ibrahim eign terror- El Bakraoui ist fighter” and known at home in Belgium as an ex-con wanted for parole violations, Bakraoui was still allowed to board a commercial airliner unaccompanied last summer, flying freely from Istanbul to the Netherlands and disappearing without a trace.

The ease with which he did so raises questions about how much governments know about the movements of returnees among the 5,000 home-grown jihadis who have trained and fought in places such as Syria or Iraq. Many now pose a “serious threat,” according to the police agency Europol. Some, such as Bakraoui, already have used

their deadly skills in cities such as Brussels or Paris.

Testimony from government ministers, extracts of documents and conversations with police, border and aviation officials reveal a series of security gaps, misunderstandings and procedural red-tape that surrounded the deportation last July of this future suicide bomber.

Even those who take some responsibility for missing the threat Bakraoui posed find it hard to understand why his capture raised no alarms. This was a man picked up by Turkish authorities in Gaziantep near Syria, who had done jail time in Belgium for armed robbery, including shooting at police with a Kalashnikov.

“We are talking about someone with a 10-year conviction, who spent a few years in prison, then traveled via Turkey to the Syrian border,” Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon said on March 25, as lawmakers probed for security shortfalls three days after the Brussels attacks left 32 people dead.

“You don’t have to have worked long on terrorism to conclude from all this that there is a very high probability – 90 percent, 99 percent, take your pick – that we are deal-

ing with a foreign fighter,” he said.

Bakraoui may be just one case among many. Turkey has deported around 3,250 suspected “foreign terrorist fighters” since 2011 – a number that does not include those turned back before making it to Syria, according to its foreign ministry.

Turkey’s government says Belgium made no extradition request for Bakraoui when it learned on June 26 that he was in Turkey, leaving him free to travel anywhere in Europe.

“It was obvious that he was affiliated and involved in the conflict zones, and he was wounded. That is the reason why he was deported. And this is the information that was communicated to Belgium,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told CNN in an interview aired Thursday.

Bakraoui is not the only case to fall through the communications gap. In September 2014, just over a year before Bakraoui’s trip to Amsterdam, three French jihadis who said they were defecting from the Islamic State group were able to buy tickets to Marseille, fly together unescorted and walk out of customs as free men, one of their lawyers, Pierre Dunac, said.

Western states seeking ways to curb high suicide rates The ASSOCIATED PRESS MONTROSE, Colorado – Keith Carey is a gunsmith in Montrose, a town with a frontier flavor set amid the mesas of western Colorado. He’s a staunch, but soft-spoken, defender of the right to bear arms.

Yet now he’s a willing recruit in a fledgling effort to see if the gun community itself – sellers and owners of firearms, operators of shooting ranges – can help Colorado and other Western states reduce their highestin-the-nation suicide rates.

“Suicide is a tragedy no matter how it’s done,” said Carey, whose adult daughter killed herself with a mix of alcohol and antidepressants a few years ago on the East Coast.

However, he sees the logic in trying gun-specific prevention strategies in towns such as Montrose, where guns are an integral part of daily life.

“It’s very expedient for people to commit suicide by a firearm, without too much forethought,” Carey said. “Unfortunately, it’s generally effective.”

Expert gunsmith Keith Carey stands Feb. 23 behind the counter at his shop, where he makes suicide prevention literature available, in Montrose Colo.

At the urging of a local police commander, Carey agreed last year to participate in the Gun Shop Project, a state-funded program in which gun sellers and range operators in five western Colorado counties were invited to help raise awareness about suicide. It’s a tentative but promising bid to open up a conversation on a topic that’s been virtually taboo in these Western states: the intersection of guns and suicide.

Handcrafted Jewelry

Carey’s shop counter now displays wallet-sized cards with information about a suicide hotline. A poster by the door offers advice about ways to keep guns away from friends or relatives at risk of killing themselves.

Carey said some customers take materials home, or ask a few questions. The conversations tend to be brief.

“Suicide is one of those morose subjects that a lot of us don’t want to talk about,” he said. “But

it’s all too common. I believe any method of suicide prevention is worth a good hard try.”

Across the U.S., suicides account for nearly two-thirds of all gun deaths – far outnumbering gun homicides. In 2014, according to federal data, there were 33,599 firearm deaths; 21,334 of them were suicides. That figure represents about half of all suicides that year; but in several western Colorado counties, and in some other Rocky Mountain states with high gun-ownership rates, more than 60 percent of suicides involve firearms.

Along with Alaska, the states with the highest rates form a contiguous bloc – Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. All have age-adjusted suicide rates at least 50 percent higher than the national rate of 12.93 suicides per 100,000 people; Montana’s rate, 23.80, is the highest in the nation.

Between 2000 and 2014, gun suicides increased by more than 51 percent in those states, while rising by less than 30 percent nationwide. Theories abound as to

why such high rates. Commonly cited factors include the isolation and economic hard times in rural areas of these states.

There’s also belief that a self-reliant frontier mindset deters some Westerners from seeking help when depression sinks in.

Underlying all these explanations is that firearms are more ubiquitous in the West than in most other parts of the country.

Catherine Barber, a suicide prevention expert at the Harvard School of Public Health, said residents of gun-owning homes are at higher risk of suicide than other people – simply because a suicide attempt is more likely to involve a gun.

According to federal estimates, suicide attempts involving firearms succeed 85 percent of the time, compared to less than 10 percent of attempts involving drug overdoses and several other methods.

“It’s not that gun owners are more suicidal,” Barber argues.

“It’s that they’re more likely to die in the event that they become suicidal, because they are using a gun.”

dict investigation into juror misconduct would in some instances lead to the invalidation of verdicts reached after irresponsible or improper juror behavior. It is not at all clear, however, that the jury system could survive such efforts to perfect it,” O’Connor wrote.

In dissent, Justice Thurgood Marshall said the right to an impartial jury was more important. “If, as is charged, members of petitioners’ jury were intoxicated as a result of their use of drugs and alcohol to the point of sleeping through material portions of the trial, the verdict in this case must be set aside,” he wrote.

In 2014, justices unanimously reaffirmed the sanctity of jury deliberations. The court rejected a challenge to a jury verdict in a civil case brought by a motorcycle rider who had his left leg amputated as a result of a traffic accident. He sought a new trial based on one juror’s report that a second juror said during deliberations that her daughter had been at fault in a similar case and a lawsuit against the daughter would have “ruined her life.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The CEO of a company with roots in North Carolina has written Gov. Pat McCrory, asking him to repeal the new law that prevents specific anti-discrimination rules for LGBT people for public accommodations and restroom use.

In a letter hand delivered to the governor, PepsiCo head Indra Nooyi called the law inconsistent with the way her company treats its employees. Nooyi also writes the law is undermining efforts to advance North Carolina’s interests, and she said she hoped McCrory would consider repealing the law when the state legislature returns to Raleigh.

PepsiCo, Inc. developed from the merger of Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay. Pepsi-Cola was created in the late 1890s by New Bern pharmacist Caleb Bradham. Annual shareholders meetings have been held in New Bern in the past several years.

WASHINGTON – The American jury room is a bit like Las Vegas: What happens there is supposed to stay there.

But a Supreme Court appeal from a Hispanic defendant in Colorado raises the prospect that a juror’s comments during deliberations can be so offensive they deprive a defendant of a fair trial.

The justices could say as early as Monday whether they will take up a case in the fall involving competing tenets of the legal system: a defendant’s constitutional right to trial by an impartial jury, and the need for secrecy in jury deliberations.

After a jury convicted Miguel Angel Pena Rodriguez of attempted sexual assault involving teenage sisters at a Denver-area horse race track, two jurors provided his lawyer with sworn statements claiming a third juror made derogatory remarks about Mexican men before voting guilty.

“I think he did it because he’s Mexican and Mexican men take whatever

they want,” is one of several racially tinged statements attributed to the juror identified in court records by the initials H.C. In another comment, the juror is said to have cast doubt on an alibi provided by a Hispanic witness for Pena Rodriguez because the witness was “an illegal.” The witness testified he was in the country legally.

But three separate courts in Colorado said those statements could not be used to upend Pena Rodriguez’s conviction because of a long-standing rule that prohibits jurors from testifying about what happens during deliberations. The rule, found in both federal and state law, is intended to promote the finality of verdicts and to shield jurors from outside influences.

The Supreme Court also has been unwilling to intrude on deliberations.

In a 5-4 ruling in 1987, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor wrote the majority opinion that rejected calls for a hearing to explore allegations made by jurors of drug and alcohol use by jurors during a criminal fraud trial.

OUR VIEW

Secrets state lawmakers cannot hide The Associated Press recently released an extensive study of statehouse secrecy.

Sadly, it came as no surprise Illinois legislative leaders, majority Democrats (House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton) and minority Republicans (House Minority Leader Jim Durkin and Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno), refused AP’s basic Freedom of Information Act request of one week’s worth of appointment calendars and government-related emails.

A few days later, the AP reported the Public Access Bureau, a branch of the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, declined to act on the AP’s appeal of the legislative leaders’ denials.

It turns out the Legislature conveniently exempted itself from the Public Access Bureau’s appeal process that so many other units of government are subject to. Talk about hypocrisy.

The theory that legislative leaders’ schedules and communications should be part of the public record rests on the importance of informing the public about who these leaders meet in the conduct of the public’s business and what they write about in the governmental email accounts taxpayers pay for. That way, the public better can judge motives behind legislation and results of their elected servants’ service.

But again, Illinois’ legislative leaders believe such information, so important to the conduct of their jobs, should be kept a secret. No doubt, the Legislature’s top leaders have other issues they would like to keep secret, but can’t.

It’s no secret legislative leaders and their minions care more about politics than sound public policies that serve the people.

It’s no secret politicians in the Legislature have perverted Illinois’ democracy through gerrymandering, which discourages competition for seats in the House and Senate and thwarts accountability.

It’s no secret legislative leaders have stood idly by as the nine-month-long budget impasse further weakens the state.

It’s no secret legislative leaders have presided over a state that suffers from chronic deficit spending, billions of dollars of debt, and a public pension system that is unfunded to the tune of more than $110 billion.

Top lawmakers can play “I’ve Got a Secret” with their calendars and emails, but the truth is, they’re doing a lousy job. And no matter how hard they might try, they can’t keep that a secret.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Senate Republicans embarrass themselves In January, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a major labor case whose outcome could affect the lives of millions of Americans.

On Tuesday, six weeks after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, the court’s eight members announced they were deadlocked in a 4-4 vote.

The case, Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, was an effort by conservative anti-union activists to cripple public-sector unions by prohibiting them from charging nonmembers fees that support collective bargaining activities. The plaintiffs claimed that imposing such fees violated their First Amendment rights. Tuesday’s outcome was a temporary victory for unions, because the teachers’ union had won in the federal appeals court and the 4-4 vote means the appellate decision stands. But the issue most likely will come before the justices again; the anti-union forces already have several similar lawsuits moving through lower courts.

Since 1977, the Supreme Court

has upheld union “fair share” fees as constitutional. The court has, in fact, reaffirmed that ruling many times in the past four decades, but the evenly divided ruling leaves the issue open to reconsideration, without the affirmation of a long-standing precedent a nine-member court can and should give.

After Justice Scalia’s death, top Senate Republicans announced they would not consider any nominee from President Barack Obama. The blockage, they say, is about “letting the people’s voice be heard” in the presidential election. In the meantime, they claim, an eight-member court can get along.

That’s not true. The Supreme Court is the nation’s final arbiter of legal disputes, and while the Constitution does not mandate a certain number of justices, an 1869 federal law set it at nine. A fully staffed court is needed to resolve this issue, as well as many others that could be headed for tie votes. This term alone, major cases involving abortion rights, religious freedom and women’s

access to contraceptives, voting rights and Mr. Obama’s actions on immigration are all at risk.

It’s no surprise Republicans are struggling to defend their do-nothing stance, and bungling their messages in the process.

Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which decides whether to give Judge Garland a hearing, has been dogged by criticism from his constituents.

Last month, Sen. Jerry Moran, Republican of Kansas, came under intense fire from tea party groups for saying the Senate should do its job and give Judge Garland a hearing, even though he also promised to vote against Judge Garland before meeting him.

The nation’s founders devised a government of checks and balances, not of obstruction and paralysis. Every day that Senate Republicans refuse to give Judge Garland the consideration he is due, they are embarrassing themselves and ignoring the voices of the people.

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

The New York Times

VIEWS Cal Thomas until they can appoint judges who believe the founding document is more elastic than a waistband and can be stretched to fit their agenda.

About Clinton’s claim that Roe is settled law, was Plessy vs. Ferguson “settled law”? That 7-1 decision in 1896 established “the constitutionality of state laws requiring racial segregation in public facilities under the doctrine of ‘separate but equal.’ ” It remained in force for nearly 60 years until the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education ruling overturned it. Roe is 43 years old. By the Plessy standard, should Roe really be considered settled law?

As for Clinton’s attacks on Republican senators who refuse to schedule hearings and a vote on Garland’s nomination, as a senator from New York, she took a contrary position.

In 2005, Sen. Clinton said the Senate had a right to reject a president’s nominee: “I believe this is one of the most important roles the Senate plays.

This, after all, is in the Constitution.

We are asked to give advice and consent, or to deny advice and consent.”

Denial is implied, but not written in the Constitution. What the Constitution does not require is for the Senate to hold hearings, or vote, on a court nominee.

At a Democrat town hall last month, Chuck Todd of MSNBC asked Clinton about President Obama’s statement that he regrets as a senator filibustering Justice Samuel Alito’s nomination when George W. Bush was president. Todd noted Clinton joined 24 other Senate Democrats in a filibuster against Alito’s nomination and ultimately voted against Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.

Her response? “You get to use the rules.”

Well, yes, and while not holding hearings on Judge Garland is not a rule, it might be considered on a par with a filibuster designed to delay and, on some occasions, prevent a vote.

Add to this the policy of the Democratic Party leadership that has, according to then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Joe Biden, a lengthy and established “tradition against

acting on Supreme Court nominations in a presidential year.”

Let’s also recall the words of the likely next Senate Majority Leader, Charles Schumer (D-New York), who said in a July 2007 speech the “presumption of confirmation” for any more nominees to the Supreme Court during the remainder of President Bush’s term should be reversed, because the court, according to Schumer, “is dangerously out of balance.” In short, not liberal enough.

The fabled goose and gander analogy seems to apply here, but many voters have proven to have short attention spans and an ignorance of history, which might explain why a recent Pew Research Center poll found 46 percent of Americans surveyed want Judge Garland confirmed, while 30 percent oppose him.

If Pew surveyed those same people today and read them what Clinton, Biden and Schumer said then and now, how many would call them hypocrites? How many would possibly change their minds about Judge Garland? I guess we’ll never know.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Epitome of tyranny

To the Editor: Outrageous! The Illinois Human Rights Commission has fined a Christian business owner $80,000 for refusing to violate his conscience regarding hosting an event for a same-sex ceremony. To make matters worse, they are mandating he do the very thing that violates his religious beliefs.

This is the epitome of tyranny.

This bigoted decision is the latest strike in the war against religious liberty.

Intolerant lawmakers and bureaucrats now are forcing citizens to do, say and act in accordance with a decidedly liberal worldview, and enforcing their dictates with the heavy hand of government.

Six years ago, leftists in Washington, D.C., decided to force all Americans into socialized health insurance, whether they wanted to or not.

Last year in Illinois, Gov. Bruce Rauner joined with leftists to pass a law to censor professional counselors and clergy from helping needy children suffering from unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion.

Today, there is a bill pending in the Illinois House that would quash rightsof-conscience protections of pro-life medical professionals by forcing them to refer patients to abortion providers.

How have we come to a place where we allow government to tell citizens what they can or cannot do or say despite their moral objections? No American should be forced to do something that violates their sincerely held beliefs.

The responsibility of ordinary citizens never has been clearer. Write your congressman and senators, urging them to place a progressive fee on carbon as recommended by Citizen’s Climate Lobby and provide substantial new funding to the NRCS and the country’s SWCDs for promoting soil health and regenerative farming techniques, programs that are experiencing cuts at the very time our need for them has never been greater.

Neither political party can lay claim to purity when it comes to hypocrisy, but Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, as well as others in her party, has taken hypocrisy to new depths.

While campaigning in Wisconsin before Tuesday’s presidential primary, Clinton said as president she would have a litmus test for any Supreme Court nominee.

“I would not appoint someone who didn’t think Roe v. Wade is settled law,” she declared.

Her nominee(s) also would have to show they support overturning the Citizens United decision that established free speech rights for interest groups.

She added while she believes the Senate should hold hearings and a vote on Judge Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, she would have selected someone more like Justice Sonya Sotomayor because Clinton thinks her Hispanic heritage and underprivileged upbringing has brought a needed perspective to the high court.

What about the Constitution? It seems that for the left, the Constitution is only a temporary impediment

By AIMEE BARROWS editorial@nwherald.com JOHNSBURG – Johnsburg resident Gary Rabine never would’ve gotten where he is in business if it wasn’t for the help and guidance of many mentors along the way.

Rabine, founder and CEO of Schaumburg-based Rabine Group, wanted to share the secrets of his success with others. So, he created True Mentors, a Gary Rabine program that Founder and CEO brings togethof Rabine Group er powerful business executives with budding entrepreneurs.

“The biggest reason for my success is mentoring,” he said. “This is invaluable to me. I want to help others, and I want people to have an easier time finding mentors. My goal is to build up a mentorship network with mentors from different industries.”

The Rabine Group is a $210 million dollar conglomerate of 11 com-

I’ve learned the most from the bad experiences – when you get knocked down, how do you get back up?”

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

On his way to a client meeting in his Schaumburg office, Gary Rabine, a Johnsburg resident who operates Rabine Group, talks on the phone with a longtime friend. Rabine created True Mentors, a mentoring program for young professionals. panies.

It includes Rabine Paving, which does commercial and residential paving throughout the Chicago area, and Rabine Paving America, a business that paves parking lots for large companies across the country.

Rabine said he still frequently speaks to his mentors, who he described as some of the best minds in the paving industry.

“Some are in their 70s and 80s,

and I still call them up to talk about business,” he said. “I learned a lot from them. They’re the smartest people in pavement engineering and best in the field in concrete paving. I picked out mentors who challenged me to be better at different things.”

Rabine last year started True Mentors, matching young professionals and entrepreneurs from various industries with one of the program’s 35 mentors.

Each mentor is encouraged to share their business experiences, both good and bad, with three or four different mentees during an in-person meeting or 30-minute phone call at least once a month.

“It’s just sharing experiences,” Rabine said. “That’s the key to great mentoring. I’ve learned the most from the bad experiences – when you get knocked down, how do you get back up?”

Many mentors come from prominent positions within numerous industries, including finance, media, real estate, technology and others.

Now a financial adviser, former Chicago Bears tight end Desmond Clark joined True Mentors along with Emerson Spartz, founder and CEO of Spartz Inc. and Spartz Media.

Mike Smith, a vice president with UBS Financial who chairs the McHenry County College board, also mentors with the group.

Butch Pintozzi, president of International Decorators Inc., became involved with True Mentors because of his experiences with his own mentors throughout his career.

He said he hopes his mentees can learn from his experience and apply the information to specific situations they face.

Dear Dave, I took a new job less than a month ago. Just the other day, I was recruited by a huge company for the same position that pays twice what I’m making now. I didn’t apply for the job that was offered. They came directly to me.

I didn’t sign a contract or promise to work a certain length of time with my current employer, but they’re good people, and I want to do the right thing and handle things well.

Do you have any advice?

– Jeff

Dear Jeff,

would. And as an employer, I’m certainly not going to double his income that quickly.

I think you take the job. Just walk into your leader’s or supervisor’s office and tell the truth. Lay it all out there.

Let them know that while you feel awful about the situation, you had no intention of misleading them or causing problems, but you simply can’t pass up the opportunity.

Be sure to show an extreme amount of gratitude and promise to do everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible.

Truthfully, if an organization cares about its team members, and one of them has the ability to double his or her income while not breaking

a promise in the process, this type of scenario is perfectly reasonable.

It may be a little uncomfortable for you – and inconvenient for them for a while – but they can’t realistically expect you to pass up the opportunity to double your salary.

You’re a good man, Jeff. Congratulations.

– Dave

Dear Dave, Will hospitals take a settlement on past due medical bills, or is this a rare occurrence?

– Kristin

Dear Kristin, It’s not all that rare for hospitals to accept a settlement on past due bills.

Most businesses will accept a settlement on past due accounts, and many hospitals will accept a deeply discounted settlement because they’ve usually gotten a big chunk of

their money up front from the insurance company.

Let’s say you had a $1,000 bill with a hospital that you honestly haven’t been able to pay for several months, or even two or three years.

If you go to them and offer $300 or $400 as a settlement, there’s a good chance you’ll have a deal.

Just make sure you get the agreement in writing before you hand anyone a check.

Remember, you have a moral and legal obligation to pay your debts in full if at all possible.

But if you truly can’t afford to pay, an agreed upon settlement between two parties can be an honorable and acceptable compromise.

U.S. construction spending retreats in Feb. by largest amount in 3 months

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – U.S. construction spending fell in February by the largest amount in three months.

Weakness in nonresidential construction and government offset the strongest month for home construction in more than eight years.

Construction spending fell 0.5 percent in February following a 2.1 percent January gain, the Commerce Department reported Friday.

Spending declines on construction of factories, communication facilities and other nonresidential activities fell by 1.3 percent in February.

Sending on government projects was down 1.7 percent.

Those declines overshadowed a solid 0.9 percent rise in home construction, which pushed that sector to the highest point since October 2007.

Home construction has been a bright spot for the economy, growing at a sizzling 10.1 percent rate

in the fourth quarter. Analysts are forecasting housing will remain strong this year.

The economy rose at a moderate rate of 1.4 percent in the October-December quarter. Many economists believe overall growth accelerated only slightly in the January-March period, although they expect growth to accelerate as the year progresses.

The dip in activity in February left construction spending at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.14 trillion.

Government building activity dropped 1.7 percent, with spending by state and local governments declining 1.8 percent while federal construction spending was unchanged.

Construction activity for all of 2015 showed a 10.6 percent increase to $1.1 trillion, the highest annual level for spending since 2007.

A home construction boom peaked in 2006. But after the housing bubble burst, construction activity fell for the next five years. Construction spending has been rising since 2012.

Honesty best policy when accepting new job

Another recession? Don’t expect one anytime soon Two schools of thought have developed on whether or not the U.S. is headed toward another recession.

The first notes how oil company’s profits are down, the U.S. dollar is high, China’s economy is slowing, government spending is out of control, the Middle East is ablaze and the presidential election cycle is the most chaotic in years.

The second states how gas is cheap, consumers have reduced debt and housing is coming back strong. This school of thought also sees strong corporate profits when adjusted for the high-dollar headwind, corporations willing to invest with trillions in cash, big U.S. banks in strong financial shape and technology still continuing to lead.

Could the economic reality be a combination of both?

Oil is always in “crisis� with prices too high or too low. While oil prices appear to be bottoming, oil company profits are expected to rise as costs are

The Fed reportedly will increase the federal funds rate once or twice this year rather than the four times previously predicted.

NEW YORK – Another quarter, another lesson in long-term investing.

Economic uncertainty around the world and a brutal start to the year for stocks helped send the price of gold surging to its best quarter in 30 years.

But an analysis of 10 common investments by The Associated Press shows that regular investors who put a steady amount of money every month into an account such as a 401(k) would have been far better off in stocks or bonds.

In just the first three months of 2016, the biggest gold exchange traded fund soared 16 percent. Gold’s track record over the past decade is far from glittering, however. Last quarter’s jump allowed the gold fund to cut only a bit into the long string of losses it has turned in for years. Over the past five years, an investor who had faithfully put in $500 a month into that gold fund lost money on the investment.

Investors who did the same over the past 10 years are only slightly in the black. And they have only about two-thirds what they would if they had simply invested in a broad U.S.

stock market fund.

The AP analysis, using data from FactSet, shows that the top performer over the past 10 years for regular investors – those who invest a portion of their income every month and hold for the long term – has been U.S. stocks. That period includes the entire Great Recession, which caused stocks to lose more than half their value and terrified retirement savers.

Someone who put in $500 every month into a broad U.S. stock fund over the past decade would have $101,181 today, a gain of $41,181 on the $60,000 they invested over that time.

A small subset of the U.S. stock market, real estate investment trusts, has performed even better, a surprise considering the real estate bubble is what got the economy into its mess. But REITs rebounded strongly following the financial crisis because they tend to pay relatively big dividends, and investors were hungry for income in a low interest rate world.

Someone who had the patience and wherewithal to keep putting $500 monthly into a REIT fund over the past decade would have $107,918 today on that $60,000 investment.

Coleman’s Rendezvous grows family business New coffeehouse, wine bar run by family with decades of restaurant experience

By JESSICA SHERWIN editorial@nwherald.com

WOODSTOCK – A new coffeehouse and wine bar in Woodstock, Coleman’s Rendezvous is relying on 40 years of family experience to be successful.

Coleman’s Rendezvous is the family’s latest venture for owner Brett Coleman. He also oversees Coleman’s in Cary – where his son, Seth, is manager – along with Coleman’s Catering, which is managed by his sons, Egan and Brady.

“Rendezvous was a meeting place historically and since we are someplace between Woodstock and Crystal Lake, we thought the Rendezvous name would

get people to meet for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine at the Coleman’s Rendezvous Coffeehouse and Wine Bar,” Brett Coleman said.

Located at 2400 Lake Shore Drive, Coleman’s Rendezvous used to house the coffee shop Java Planet.

The new Rendezvous coffee bar features lattes, cappuccinos, fresh roasted drip coffee creations and an assortment of teas served up in “Central Perk”-style mugs made popular by the TV series “Friends.” All of the coffee, both light and dark roasts, comes from Spring Grove-based Chicago Coffee Roastery.

“We wanted to keep the coffeehouse up and running for working folks,”

Brett Coleman said. “The atmosphere is very casual. ... People can relax here.”

The restaurant boasts a breakfast menu, a “Coffee House Lunch” menu and an evening bistro menu along with the full coffee and wine bars. Each item on the bistro menu has suggested red and white wine pairings. Customers also can select single glasses of wine from the specials menu for $6.

The menu of the Rendezvous was created with the help of Brett Coleman’s chef, John Wolf. Wolf has worked with Coleman’s Catering for more than 20 years. Brett Coleman described Wolf as a well-rounded cook whose style comes through his food.

The Rendezvous owner believes the

Will Apple’s FBI tussle take a bite out of the brand?

By MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press NEW YORK – The revelation that the FBI was able to break into a secured iPhone without Apple’s help won’t take a bite out of Apple’s brand reputation, but consumers will be looking for security improvements soon.

The Apple brand has already withstood worse. In 2014, hackers posted nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities after guessing their passwords and breaking into their Apple iCloud accounts. Beyond security, Apple has faced complaints that the iPhone 6 Plus bent too easily and that the iPhone 4 lost signal strength when users held it a certain way.

In each case, Apple’s reputation recovered — and the company went on to sell 232 million iPhones last year. And on Thursday, crowds formed at some stores as the new iPhone SE went on sale, although the company hasn’t released figures.

YouGov BrandIndex, which tracks brand perceptions, said that the Apple brand has been trending modestly positively since early March and that the FBI dropping the case had no effect on that.

And investors haven’t shown much concern: Apple’s stock has increased 4 percent since the FBI said late Monday it didn’t need help to break into the phone. Investors have typically been more worried about whether Apple

can maintain its growth as smartphone sales slow down.

Apple resisted the FBI’s demands that it rewrite the iPhone’s software to override safeguards against repeatedly guessing passcodes. But the FBI now says it didn’t need Apple’s help after all in breaking into an iPhone used by a San Bernardino killer.

It was an older model, but has recent iPhone software.

Apple is already expected to tighten security with its next iPhone software, likely to be announced in June and available in September.

But can Apple assure its phones are unbreakable when the FBI won’t reveal what technique it used?

“They have a window to address the problem, but ... there has to be news soon, with Apple saying ‘Here’s how the new iPhone is now Fort Knox,’” said Allen Adamson, founder of Brand Simple Consulting.

Apple won’t comment on specific plans, but said it’s constantly working to improve the security of its devices, because it knows hackers are always looking for new vulnerabilities. Apple also said it can deliver software updates quickly because it sends them directly to users. With Android, any updates have to wait for phone makers and wireless carriers to approve them.

And even if the FBI doesn’t disclose the technique it used, it may become outmoded as Apple continues updating its security protections.

variety in dishes makes the menu at the Rendezvous appealing to anyone. His restaurant experience goes back to his childhood.

Brett Coleman and his brother, Barry Coleman, owner of Coleman’s Tavern and Grill in Woodstock, learned the industry from their parents, who also were restaurant owners in the area.

His personal favorite dish at Rendezvous is the cheese and charcuterie slate with honey-dipped almonds. Other popular items include the calamari, caprese salad, pork belly with potato pancakes and seared ahi tuna plate.

“The food here is different from what you’ll get anywhere else,” Brett Coleman said.

Gary Rabine (right), a Johnsburg resident who operates Rabine Group, leads his children Nik (far left), Janelle and Austin, into his office in Schaumburg. Rabine created True Mentors, a mentoring program for young professionals.

• MENTORS

Continued from page A27 real estate auction company and brokerage firm, said she hopes her mentees learn how to identify opportunities and use them to create their own network.

“Mentorship is all about creating opportunity for someone who is motivated and ready to take new opportunities and run with them,” she said. “It’s exciting and energizing. I know that a good mentor can change the life path of a mentee for the better with very little effort and time.”

Long before running a multimillion dollar company, Rabine began paving driveways as a student at Richmond-Burton High School. He loved the work, so he and his father began Rabine Paving in the 1980s, servicing Lake and McHenry counties.

Rabine Paving grew into a $6 million company within the six years after Rabine bought out his father in 1993.

Primarily focusing on parking lots, the

company’s biggest clients today include Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walgreens and Wal-Mart. Along with Rabine Paving America, the two companies are worth about $40 million.

A True Mentor himself, Rabine said the mentors benefit by becoming part of a network with other professionals, while mentees gain access to leaders and CEOs who typically aren’t accessible through other mentoring organizations.

Professionals have to pay $1,500 and undergo a screening process to join as a mentor. Mentees pay $15 a month.

Young professionals, MBA students or entrepreneurs are invited to apply. Once accepted, they can choose a mentor best suited for them based off mentors’ profiles.

“It’s a lot of fun, and I always liked the ability to reach out to people,” Rabine said. “I’m constantly learning a lot about business and a lot about life. Some of my best friends in the world are because of mentoring. It’s really nice to have people you can reach out to in confidence and know you’ll have their support.”

Vacation photos reveal more than mother-in law knows Dear Abby: I’m writing to ask what’s the classy way to handle a touchy situation. My mother-in-law lives with my husband and me because she’s financially unable to live on her own.

She sometimes goes away on trips and vacations with her church and “boyfriends.”

About a month ago, I noticed several items of nice clothing and shoes had gone missing. I asked if anyone had seen them and got a negative reply.

Well, I saw some pictures of my motherin-law from a recent trip someone had posted online, and she was wearing some of the missing items. She since has returned, but they haven’t been returned.

I haven’t confronted her about it yet, but I need to figure out how to get my things back without blowing my top.

She does this frequently. They usually turn up after about six months, in

HUNTLEY INVITE CHAMPIONSHIP: HUNTLEY 2, HERSEY 0

Red Raiders win crown Grabner’s 200th victory comes with hardware

By MIKE DeFABO mdefabo@nwherald.com

What to watch NHL: Boston at Blackhawks, 11:30 a.m., NBC Sunday’s matinée tilt features two teams that are coming off wild one-goal wins. The Hawks traded goals with Winnipeg in a wild 5-4 overtime win Friday, capped

by Brent Seabrook’s career-best 14th goal of the season. The Bruins beat the Hawks, 4-2, in their first meeting of the season on March 3 and rank third in the league with 25 road wins this season, so the Hawks will have their work cut out for them.

Local homers McHenry graduate Carly Mattson hit her first home run of the year for Austin Peay softball on Saturday while fellow McHenry alumna Kristin Koepke hit her first homer and first triple for the Evansville Purple Aces.

HUNTLEY – Bundled up in his winter jacket and plastic-lined mittens, Huntley girls soccer coach Kris Grabner paced the sideline during the championship game of the Huntley Invite. Winds of up to 25 mph swept the ball through snow flurries like an angry snow globe, and blew back memories of Grabner’s first season.

Back 13 seasons ago, the Red Raiders were playing at Indian Creek.

Same situation. Rain. Cold. Sleet. Only worse.

“The rain was blowing horizontally,” Grabner said.

That day, the Red Raiders came back from a three-goal deficit to edge Indian Creek, 4-3, and earn Grabner his first coaching win. If Grabner’s memory is accurate, Corrine Hooper scored the game-winner.

Back to Saturday. Huntley seniors Alyssa Kaufman and Yulissa Solis scored to lead the Red Raiders to a 2-0 victory over Hersey in the Huntley Invite championship game. The win marked No. 200 for Grabner.

The weather conditions for Saturday’s benchmark win weren’t too different from win No. 1. The condition of the program, however, couldn’t be more different.

Continued from page 2 The Red Raiders won only three games in Grabner’s first season and seven in his second season. The coach looked back on some of those scores this week. The 9-0 and 10-1 losses seem so far away.

The veteran coach turned the program around and the Red Raiders have rattle off 10 straight winning seasons, nine straight regional titles and back-to-back sectional titles.

For a coach who brought nothing but success to the program, it was fitting his 200th win came with a championship plaque.

“He’s really made the program what it is,” senior midfielder Taryn Jakubowski said. “I’m honored to play for him.”

The recipe for success, according to the current players, is a mix of attention to detail and “tough love.”

“He knows we’re out there to have a good time,” senior midfielder Bri Wilder said. “But when we have to start working hard and get intense, he’ll definitely get on us. He’s pretty particular. He knows what he’s looking for. He sees the potential in us and

where we can go this season.”

With 11 players returning, including nine starters, expectations for this year’s team are as high as ever. However, the Red Raiders (3-1-1) had what Grabner called a “rough” start to the season with a loss and a tie.

“Coming in, I had the expectation that we would be at least where we were at the end of last season and be able to build,” Grabner said. “We really didn’t come in that way. We came in sloppy.

Lack of focus. Couldn’t make passes.”

There’s some of that tough love.

But in the three victories that led to Saturday’s championship, Grabner saw some of the gritty play he has tried to cultivate. He pointed to Jakubowski’s scrappy goal in a 1-0 semifinal win over Boylan.

“Not a beautiful goal,” Grabner said. “But I told them, ‘That’s how you win championships. You grind out goals like that because you work that hard.’ That’s something we can use.”

The tournament victory and the toughness the Red Raiders showed in the cold and wind could be the springboard Huntley needs to get back back into midseason form.

Now, if only the weather would do the same.

Styf: If you’re in a spring sport, the dilemma comes around each year.

Do you go on spring break and have fun or do you stick around, play your sport and get better as most area teams continue to schedule games during the week off. Which are you Team #SB2K16 or Team #GrindAndGain?

DeFabo: If you’re on a spring sports team, you’ve got to stick around.

A week off school playing baseball sounds better than a vacation to me.

Basketball players and other winter sports athletes sacrifice part of their Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks to compete in tournaments. That’s just part of playing sports. If you don’t enjoy it enough to give up a little beach time with your buddies, then pick another hobby.

Styf: I played tennis in the spring.

My senior year, I went to spring break in Gulf Shores, Alabama, with friends. Didn’t regret it for a second. I don’t remember any matches around that time. It’s been a while but the main thing I do remember from that season is losing a close three-setter to the top seed at regional in my final match as my team fell one point short of making it to state. I’m Team #SB2K16. Have fun.

Take the sport seriously when you are here, but unless you are a future scholarship college athlete, I don’t think you should give up an opportunity such as a spring break trip (if it’s in the cards) to stick around and maybe play or maybe not play meaningless early season spring games in the cold.

DeFabo: But if every player has that attitude, then what do you have?

Maybe two to three kids tops on

every team would stay behind. Tops.

How do you play a game when that happens? Ghost runners don’t really fly in a varsity game. In my opinion, you have your whole life to go to the beach or whatever. Wait two months and then go somewhere when the school year ends if you want. If you leave your team behind, it affects the entire program’s ability to operate.

Styf: Don’t schedule games, like Woodstock girls soccer. Call up JV players, like McHenry soccer did.

You only have one senior year spring break. Things change after that significantly. Too many people want high school athletes to take things way too seriously. Yes, try your hardest. Yes, work on it. But don’t sacrifice every other part of life for it. Take a break when you can, both academically and athletically, and come back refreshed. You still can train on vacation, a couple DundeeCrown track runners posted pictures of running on the beach. And admittedly, this doesn’t apply to all.

Some teams take trips together, like Dundee-Crown softball or several baseball teams. But, if you’re not doing that, why does everything in life have to be about your high school sports team? Many athletes are put in an awkward spot each year, where their dedication is questioned if they ever take a vacation. But you can learn a lot and see plenty doing that too. I know I did.

DeFabo: I understand family vacations. I’m not saying that if your mom gets one week off of work and wants to take the whole family to see grandma for Easter that you need to stay behind and run laps around your house. But a beach trip with your buddy is kind of over-hyped.

You see your friends every day at school. Your teammates should be some of your best friends. So why leave them behind just so you can make some memories that fade as quickly as the photos of it on Snapchat?

Styf: You take your rainouts and snow games, I’ll take the beach.

Saturday brought snow, rain, sleet, high winds and a little bit of soccer in the area to close out an odd week of spring break weather.

Johnsburg grad enjoying D-II title moment Before Tuesday’s celebration to honor the NCAA Division II men’s basketball national champions Augustana University Vikings, Chad Hettermann wasn’t sure what to expect.

The Elmen Center on campus in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where the team plays home games, seats 4,000 fans.

“At 4 o’clock on a Tuesday … I didn’t know if people would be able to get off work,” said Hettermann, an assistant coach at Augustana and a Johnsburg graduate. “I thought, ‘Well, there might be a hundred people here.’ ” Instead, Hettermann and the Vikings, who earned the first men’s basketball title in school history, were greeted by about 1,000 fans.

“It shows how surreal this is and how big it is,” said Hettermann, who also played four years at Augustana under current head coach Tom Billeter. “I mean, wow, this is a big deal and there are a lot of people who are proud of what we did.”

Ranked No. 2 nationally, Augustana (34-2) set a program record for wins in a season while beating top-ranked Lincoln Memorial, 90-81, last weekend in Frisco, Texas, in a nationally televised game on CBS. “I was happy for [Coach Billeter],” said Hettermann, who played 116 career games and helped the team reach the Sweet 16 twice. “I was happy for our whole coaching staff. I was happy for our guys. It really hasn’t sunk in yet, just how great of an accomplishment it is.”

Sheedlo shines at NCAAs: Richmond-Burton grad Talia Sheedlo earned her first career All-America honors by finishing sixth in the pentathlon at the NCAA Division III indoor national meet last month in Grinnell, Iowa.

Sheedlo, a senior at Aurora University, bettered her own school and Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference record by scoring 3,320 points.

She posted a personal record of 5 feet, 1 inch in the high jump to finish seventh, then placed fourth in the 800-meter run in 2 minutes, 25.34 seconds and fifth in the 60 hurdles in 9.26 seconds.

Power in a pinch: Huntley grad Megan Larson’s first career home run came in dramatic fashion Wednesday.

A freshman utility player for D-III Loras College’s softball program, Larson hit a two-out, pinch-hit grand slam to put the Duhawks in the lead for good in a 12-7 victory against Wisconsin-Platteville. The fifth-inning homer boosted Larson’s RBI total to 11 for the season. Larson, who has started seven games for the Duhawks (7-9), is second on the team with a .407 batting average and a .593 slugging percentage.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

McHenry grad, MCC hurler commits to W. Michigan

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Andrew Reisinger’s game experience in the past 21/2 years was extremely limited.

Reisinger threw some intrasquad games at the University of Illinois-Chicago, where he was redshirted as a freshman. In the summer of 2014, Reisinger pitched for the Crystal Lake Cardinals.

Reisinger left UIC last spring and worked full-time at Cartridge World in Spring Grove. He didn’t pitch last summer and missed most of the fall season with McHenry County College after suffering a broken right thumb.

None of that mattered, because Reisinger still was hungry. He kept working, whether that meant throwing sessions or lifting and condition-

ing, and added 25 pounds, mostly in his lower body.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pound right-hander came back last month for MCC, where he has a 4-0 record, a 4.00 ERA with 32 strikeouts and 27 innings and an NCAA Division I scholarship offer from Western Michigan, which he accepted this week.

Reisinger committed Andrew to the Kalamazoo school Reisinger and will have two more years to pitch for the Broncos.

“I learned so much [at UIC] about being prepared and how big the mental game is in baseball,” said Reisinger, a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection in 2013 after posting a 1.38 ERA. “I knew what I was doing, I knew where to go, doing it by myself and tak-

ing accountability and getting back in shape, even though my absence from the game was so long.”

Reisinger never left himself doubt he would make it back to D-I baseball.

“You can’t have doubts,” he said.

“I told myself I was there before and I know I can get there with hard work and preparation.”

Reisinger considered becoming a firefighter during his sophomore year at UIC, which eventually was a year of eligibility forfeited. He came back home to work, and McHenry coach Brian Rockweiler notified MCC coach Jared Wacker that Reisinger might be available.

“He really hasn’t missed a beat,” Wacker said. “I’ve been really impressed with his command of the strike zone and his breaking ball, especially after having that time off. He’s in the

upper 80s with sink on his fastball, and his breaking ball has some sharp bite to it. Those two pitches complement each other really well.”

Wacker also lauds Reisinger for his maturity and willingness to embrace a leadership role, even though it’s his first season with the Scots. Reisinger considered MCC’s fire science program, but the demands were too much to go with baseball. Instead, he is working toward a degree in business, which he will then take to Western Michigan.

“I believe I’m in the best shape of my life, physically and mentally,” Reisinger said. “My arm feels better than ever.

I’m so proud of myself, and my friends and teammates and coaches have been so supportive of me. It’s really helped me out a lot. I can’t thank everyone involved enough. I’m really happy with where I am.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Johnsburg’s Chris Krennrich and Nico LoDolce combined for 11 strikeouts as the Skyhawks defeated Lincoln at McGraw Park.

The Skyhawks also defeated Bloomington Central Catholic in an earlier game, 5-2, behind Mike Crow’s five innings with two runs allowed. Crow struck out five.

Krennrich was 2 for 3 with an RBI in the win over Bloomington Central Catholic. Adam Jayko also drove in a run in that game. Crow gave up three hits and two earned runs for the victory.

Krennrich struck out eight Lincoln batters and allowed one hit in three innings in the second game, while LoDolce whiffed three in his four innings and gave up five hits. LoDolce and Kaeden Quinn had two hits apiece, while Jayko, Quinn, Austin Butler, Casey Wilson and Anthony Vallone each had RBIs.

Jacob Carpentier, Jon Tieman, Nick Schmidt, Hunter Martin and Luke Annen all had two hits for the Wolves.

Tieman drove in two runs, while five other players had one RBI. Ethan Routzahn struck out three and allowed an earned run through three innings.

Prairie Ridge coach Glen Pecoraro said a date to complete the game has yet to be determined.

Dundee-Crown splits: At Galesburg, D-C lost to United Township, 5-1, then defeated Galesburg, 11-8.

D-C ace Danny Denz took the loss in the first game, despite striking out 11 batters and allowing only one hit in 42/3 innings. Denz uncharacteristically struggled with his control, issuing six walks.

nings from sophomore Erik Hedmark, who struck out eight, walked none and gave up three hits and one earned run.

Conor Ryan was 2 for 3 with three RBIs in that game, while Nick Musielewicz and Ben Prigge each drove in a pair of runs.

Alden-Hebron splits: At Martinvsille, Alden-Hebron got four strong innings from James LeJeune and three RBIs each from three players as it defeated Martinsville, 12-2, in five innings.

Trevor Redlin, John Judson and Josh Rolieki each drove in three runs in that game as the Giants moved to 3-3. LeJeune (1-1) struck out three and allowed two hits in four innings for the victory.

Jack Wagner and Brad Judson each drove in runs for the Giants.

In an earlier game Saturday, the Giants lost to Brownstown, 15-2, in five innings. Redlin and John Judson both had RBIs in that game.

One win from 6th title Wildcats rout Sooners

By EDDIE PELLS

By JIM O’CONNELL

The Associated Press

The Associated Press

HOUSTON – North Carolina’s latest step on the way to a title was shaping up as strictly an inside job.

Out of nowhere, Marcus Paige figured out how to hit from 3-point land and the Tar Heels put an end to any hopes of another Syracuse comeback.

Using layups, floaters and putbacks – then, finally, three timely 3s from Paige – the Tar Heels outmuscled Syracuse, 83-66, Saturday to move a win away from the program’s sixth national title.

Paige finished with 13 points, and Brice Johnson and Justin Jackson led North Carolina (33-6) with 16 apiece, as the Tar Heels, the lone No. 1 seed in the Final Four, beat Jim Boeheim’s 10th-seeded Orange for the third time this season and advanced to Monday’s title game against Villanova.

Earlier, the Wildcats made 11 of 18 shots from behind the 3-point arc, debunking the theory, first advanced at the cold-shooting Final Four in 2011, that nobody could shoot in Houston’s cavernous stadium.

Then, the Tar Heels, ranked 284th in the country this season from long range, reversed that one-game trend.

HOUSTON – Villanova had a night to remember on both ends of the court.

Buddy Hield had a night to forget.

The Wildcats, setting a record for margin of victory in a Final Four semifinal, held Hield to his second-lowest output of the season in a 95-51 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday night.

“That was just one of those nights,” Villanova coach Jay Wright said. “I feel bad for Oklahoma.”

He can feel good for his Wildcats (34-5) as they advanced to Monday night’s national championship game against North Carolina.

Josh Hart scored 23 points and his 10-of-12 shooting performance was part of Villanova’s 71.4 percent (35 of 49) effort. Villanova missed only five shots in the second half.

The margin topped the 34-point Final Four wins by Cincinnati over Oregon State in 1962 and Michigan State over Penn in 1979.

The Wildcats have four wins in the tournament of at least 19 points, the only close game a five-point win over overall No. 1 seed Kansas in the Elite Eight.

Villanova dominated the Sooners (29-8) after an opening 7 minutes that

They bricked up 3 after 3, going 0 for 10 in the first half and barely drawing iron on some of them. Paige opened the second half with North Carolina’s 11th straight miss, and for the next 10 minutes, the Tar Heels (33-6) basically ignored the 3-point line.

6 WHITE SOX PREVIEW

Five things to watch for in 2016 BACK END OF THE ROTATION

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com SAN DIEGO – A productive offseason engendered an explosive (in more ways than one, pardon the interruption), homer-charged spring training.

When the debris was cleared from the Adam LaRoche-and-son train wreck midway through, the White Sox picked up where they left off, continuing to leave Arizona yards with old bats and new. They even played relatively clean defense and kept bad baserunning decisions to a minimum, two more encouraging developments with the real 162 games beginning Monday.

After finishing 10 games below .500 in 2015, the Sox look capable of getting to .500, maybe a bit better.

And a difficult April schedule Camp was “rolling full steam ahead,” awaits them, starting with Sonny Gray as ace Chris Sale put it, when the Drake and the Oakland Athletics on the road.

The lefty trio of Sale, Jose Quintana and Carlos Rodon is arguably a top-10 top three in baseball. After that, who knows? Left-hander John Danks, in the last year of his $65 million contract, is a 4.75 ERA pitcher since shoulder surgery. And right-hander Mat Latos, trying to rejuvenate his once-shining career after injuries sidetracked him in 2014 and 2015, is a wild card with minimal depth to back him up. Keep an eye on No. 8 overall pick Carson Fulmer, who will start the season at Double-A Birmingham but could be pressed into service in Chicago if he continues to impress.

and the real test comes when the real games begin this week.

THE BULLPEN

If the additions of Todd Frazier and Brett Lawrie and fewer at-bats from LaRoche spike their lowly home-run numbers – they were last in the AL in long balls in 2015 but led all of baseball this spring with 49 – the Sox will be a much-improved offensive club. That should mean more chances for the bullpen to protect leads rather than working to keep games close. On paper, the same returning seven-man bullpen was much better ERA-wise, from 4.38 in 2014 to 3.61 in 2015. But bullpens, erratic by nature, often fluctuate from year to year.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Danks finishes spring slate with strong outing

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com SAN DIEGO – In his final tuneup before he starts the White Sox’s home opener Friday against the Cleveland Indians, left-hander John Danks was about as good as he’s been this spring.

Danks went five innings and allowed two runs in a 10-2 exhibition game victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday afternoon at Petco Park.

Danks gave up six hits – including two infield singles in the first inning, and no walks. He struck out two on a light pitch-count day – 58 pitches, including 42 for strikes.

“This was the best Johnny has looked as far as composure, control and having separation on fastball and his changeup,” manager Robin Ventura said before the Sox boarded a plane for the Bay Area in advance of their season opener against the Oakland Athletics on Monday night.

Danks was 5-2 with a 5.40 ERA in seven starts this spring.

“I really couldn’t be more happy about how it went [Saturday],” he said.

“There were a couple of broken-bat hits and the rest were ground balls outside of [one]. Throwing strikes, making them hit the ball on the ground. I’ll take my chances with that.”

Roster set, officially:

Four expected roster John Danks moves were made to set the Opening Day roster: Right-hander Phillippe Aumont, infielder Travis Ishikawa, outfielder Jacob May and catcher Hector Sanchez were re-assigned to minor league camp.

More shifting for Sox: The Sox implemented more defensive shifting this spring than they did during the 2015 regular season, and might even bump it up a notch this regular season, coach Joe McEwing said.

“With the information we got, we’re going to increase it depending on who’s pitching and who’s at the plate, pitchers’ tendencies and velocity,” McEwing said.

Shifts go beyond data, however, because some hitters try to adjust while others don’t, McEwing said.

“That’s the biggest thing, the eye test,” McEwing said. “Some guys try to beat it, others stay within themselves and their game plan. If we see guys adjusting, we’ll adjust also. We’ll try to stay ahead of the curve.”

Rollins second, Cabrera fifth: Ventura will open the season with Rollins batting second, but the 37-year-old former MVP won’t be entrenched there.

“I like him there,” Ventura said. “He can move. Just because he’s a switch-hitter and can handle the bat, he can go to a couple of different places. Right now it looks like he’ll be [second].”

Switch-hitter Melky Cabrera opened the 2015 season batting second

but likely will bat fifth behind Jose Abreu and Todd Frazier.

“We have a lot of righties, so [the switch-hitters] are going to have to be somewhere spaced in there,” Ventura said. “More than likely it will end up like that.”

This and that: Right-hander Zach Putnam was the only reliever not to work in the two San Diego exhibitions, but he did throw in the bullpen Saturday.

“He’s good. He’ll be ready to go Monday,” Ventura said. ... Probables for the opening series in Oakland: Chris Sale vs. Sonny Gray on Monday, Rich Hill vs. Jose Quintana on Tuesday, Carlos Rodon vs. Chris Bassitt on Wednesday, Mat Latos vs. Kendall Graveman on Thursday. ... The Sox were 17-13-1 this spring, their best record since going 1712-1 in 2003. ... Avisail Garcia’s home run against Josh Martin was his fifth of the spring and the team’s 51st, which led all of baseball. The Sox’s previous home run high since 1980 was 43 in 2002.

CUBS

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

“I don’t even notice it,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of Bryant’s diversions. “Whenever you see him around here, his focus is so good, his work is so spectacular, he’s full of energy. I think he does balance things extremely well.

So from my perspective, it’s kind of seamless what he does between off and on the field.”

Maddon even raves about how much better Bryant’s swing looks now after an adjustment he and hitting coach John Mallee made last summer to lessen an extreme uppercut that was causing Bryant to swing and miss at pitches in the strike zone.

“It’s a new and improved version of KB this year,” Maddon said. “And it’s just going to keep getting better.”

Which could keep the endorsements rolling at full steam.

“It’s definitely not a challenge for me,” Bryant said. “I make sure I devote my time to certain areas. And that stuff’s fun for me. If it wasn’t fun for me, then I could see where it could affect me in terms of on the field. But I enjoy that stuff. It helps me take my

mind off the stresses that are on the field. Sometimes it’s just exhausting, so it’s important for me to get out there and do something different and have fun with it.”

Besides, he added, “I say no plenty of times.”

Bryant’s agent, Scott Boras, has an entire marketing arm of his business that helps clients such as Bryant with endorsement matchmaking and the balancing act with baseball. But Bryant figures he already is ahead of the game on finding that balance after spending three years at the University of San Diego.

“College was way harder than this,” Bryant said. “Balancing time between study hall and school, and then practice at 5 a.m. and then 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and figuring out time to do your homework and study and projects, and meet up with your groups – there was so much more in terms of time management in college.

“I’m glad I went there, because if I didn’t, then I don’t know how I’d handle my time.”

New twists coming to Wrigleyville, and that’s not bad Let’s start with this: Someday the Cubs will win the World Series.

I didn’t say this year, or even by 2124, another 108 years since the last title.

But math is irrefutable, in the same way it says that a million monkeys typing madly forever eventually will duplicate Shakespeare. Which is true.

So Cubs fans’ demand and pent-up desire should sustain Cubs madness for a long, long time.

Next, a personal story.

Not that long ago, the Sun-Times building was located at 401 N. Wabash, along the Chicago River, with one of the most beautiful city views you can imagine.

The building, however, was a seven-story lump in the midst of skyscrapers – designed, apparently, to look like a tugboat, which it did. I mean, there was a phony forecastle on the roof and a faux smokestack behind, and frankly, God knows what the architect was thinking. Me, I would have at least made it look like a destroyer, fake cannons aimed at the Tribune Tower across Michigan Avenue.

At any rate, one day in 2004, the dumpy structure was torn down so none other than Donald J. Trump could erect his 90-story ode to himself – Trump Tower – on the site.

There were lots of complaints from old-schoolers about the change, and I my-

No superhighway connects citizens to Wrigley. There are no glorious skyboxes with leather sofas and showers.

There is just the tiny park and bricks and vines and baseball.

And each year that Wrigley lives self was quoted in a Chicago Magazine on, its diversion from the norm story as saying I didn’t mind the tugboat becomes more intriguing, more being blown up, but did we have to get “a appealing.

VIEWS Rick Telander

spring training in the Phoenix area was mind-boggling. Standing room only at Sloan Park, game after game. Nearly a quarter-million attendees total. Cubs shirts and pennants everywhere.

The simple, 100-yard walk from the main practice building to the ballpark was, for Cubs players, like the walk for the Most Interesting Man in the World to his Dos Equis spaceship to Mars.

Generation after generation of fans are so Cub-crazed, so yearning, that architecture must be created to accommodate them. At long last – after the Wrigleys and Tribune Co. just shrugged – the Ricketts have bought up most of the rooftop buildings on Waveland and Sheffield. Someday, those two streets framing Wrigley must become part of the park, with all the rooftops. The entire Cubs Kingdom could become the most visited place in all of Chicago. I’m not saying that because I want it to be.

I’m saying it because it’s fact.

Someday soon, nobody but Luddites will complain about the lost “good old days” at Wrigley. I remember them.

They weren’t so good. They were just old.

Last thing? The Cubs really need to win.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – One Sunday in late March, long after the Cubs had finished playing, Kris Bryant joined a group on the field in the fading light.

They filmed, with small cameras, what looked like playground and party tricks, including Bryant at one point putting his forehead on the knob of a stood-up bat and spinning himself in circles, then staggering away.

“It was an endorsement thing,” he said. “Stouffer’s.”

Yes, the TV dinner people. It wasn’t a commercial, exactly – more of a promotional video, with the Dude Perfect trick/stunt artists of YouTube fame.

Bryant, the second-year third baseman who filmed a Red Bull commercial before he ever took a swing in the big leagues, did another Red Bull shoot this spring at an area junior college and filmed at least one MLB commercial with teammate Anthony Rizzo. And he does more as part of his deals with a clothier and athletic shoe company.

“I’m always open to opportunities – I enjoy that stuff,” Bryant said. “It’s cool to get out there and do something different. You focus on baseball too much, you go crazy. It’s fun for me. For some guys, it doesn’t work.”

But when does cool and fun and diversion become too much? When do the trappings and pulls from all directions after the Rookie of the Year honor and sudden national fame become distractions?

Kris Bryant And do those things feed into the debated concept of the “sophomore jinx?” Two decades ago, after winning the batting title in his first full year in the majors, a young Alex Rodriguez showed up to Seattle Mariners spring training admitting he was exhausted from an offseason full of new opportunities and distractions. He still grinded out a strong season, but not nearly at the level of the year before, or most that came after.

BULLS NOTES

Bulls fall 2 games back Sore elbow

forces Rose to sit out

Butler posts 1st career triple-double in crucial loss with 6 games left

By MARK POTASH

BY MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Jimmy Butler seems to reach a different level when Derrick Rose it out. But on a night when he wasn’t getting much help, his will could only carry the Bulls so far.

Butler’s first career triple-double – 28 points, a career-high 17 rebounds and a career-high 12 assists – gave the Bulls a chance to win a crucial game. But he was unable to get the benefit of the doubt on a critical block/charge call in the final 20 seconds, and the Bulls fell short in a 94-90 loss Saturday night before 22,197 at the United Center.

“It’s just tough,” said Butler, who shot 10 of 25 from the field and 1 of 7 on 3-point shots. “I feel like I could have done more – made more shots; played better defense. There’s always room for improvement. All I wanted to do is win – triple-double or no triple-double.”

The loss dropped the Bulls (38-38) two games behind the Indiana Pacers (40-36) for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with six games remaining in the regular season.

“It’s tough to swallow,” a disconsolate Butler said.

“We need to win as many games as possible and we didn’t get this one. We let this one slip away.”

After a tough start to the fourth quarter, Butler nearly ignited a fabulous comeback after the Bulls fell behind 90-83 with 40 seconds left. Butler hit a 3-point shot and two free throws after a Pistons turnover in the backcourt to cut the Pistons’ lead to 90-88 with 38 seconds left.

On the ensuing possession, Butler appeared to have established position and taken a charge on a drive by Pistons guard Reggie Jackson. But officials ruled his feet were in the restricted area and Butler was called for a block. Jackson hit two free throws to give the Pistons (41-36) a 92-88 lead with 20 seconds left.

“They (the officials) said Jimmy’s heels were above the line, I guess,” Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. “It was not enough evidence to overturn the call.”

“I don’t know,” Butler said. “[They officials said] it wasn’t a charge. It was a block. Not too much you can say about it.”

Butler took a knee to the ribs on the play and took a while to get up. Hoiberg said the Bulls will know more about his condition Sunday – when the Bulls play the Bucks at the Bradley Center. But Butler did not seem concerned. “I’ll be all right,” he said.

With Rose (sore elbow) and Taj Gibson (fractured ribs) out, the culprit on this night was most of Butler’s supporting cast. Pau Gasol added 16 points on 7-of-19 shooting, and Aaron Brooks scored 14 points off the bench. But Nikola Mirotic, coming off back-toback 28-point games, scored six points on 2-of-7 shooting (2 of 4 on 3-pointers). Mike Dunleavy scored two points on 1-of-3 shooting. Doug McDermott scored

The Bulls’ Jimmy Butler (right) goes up for a shot against Pistons defender Marcus Morris during the second half of Saturday night’s game at the United Center. The Bulls lost, 94-90. four points on 1-of-5 shooting in 15 minutes.

“When we don’t move the ball, it’s going to be tough offensively to score a lot of points,” Dunleavy said.

This was the wrong night, a critical game – “a game that’s probably as important as any all year,” Hoiberg said – for that to happen.

“But it’s kind of how we’ve been all year,” Dunleavy said. “Really, our offense has probably let us down more than our defense. When we needed to get the job done defensively, I’m pretty confident. Offensively, we’re just not there yet. It’s not a surprise. It is what it is. You’ve got to roll with it.”

CHICAGO – Derrick Rose is proud of playing more games this season than in the three previous seasons while rehabilitating after major surgeries – but the little injuries are starting to add up.

The Bulls’ point guard missed his 13th game of the season – and sixth in the past 20 – because of a sore left elbow that has been bothering him since Monday against the Hawks. He’s day-to-day after an MRI revealed swelling on his bursa sac that is causing the pain.

“Every day it’s getting better,” Rose said. “Able to push off a little bit more. But right now it’s still real tender. I can’t dribble the ball – or every time I get hit, just the vibration of getting hit (on the left arm) aggravates the spot.”

Rose said he suffered the injury when he fell and hit his elbow in Monday’s 102-100 loss to the Hawks at the Derrick Rose United Center. He continued to play in that game and “tried to play through it” in a 98-96 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday “and kind of re-aggravated it and it flared up then.”

This has been a season of rejuvenation for Rose, who is averaging 16.5 points and 4.7 assists in 63 games. But this is the seventh time he has missed a game for various minor injuries. He has not played more than 17 consecutive games this season.

He said he’s not letting this string of injuries get him down – not after what he’s been through.

“Nah – I’m too blessed, man. Too blessed,” Rose said. “I played in numerous games this year. Still got a chance to make the playoffs. I’m not worried about being down (mentally).

“It’s just reality. The reality is that I’ve got to deal with an injury. I fell on the floor. You’re going to fall here and there. You’re going to have injuries. You just have to try and get through it and get back on the floor.”

Blossoming Felicio: After barely playing token minutes for most of the season, 6-foot-11, 275-pound rookie center Cristiano Felicio played a key role in victories over the Pacers (eight points, five rebounds in seven minutes) and the Rockets (five points, four rebounds, three assists in 15 minutes).

“I’ve been telling the coaching staff all year, they did a good job (finding him),” Taj Gibson said.

“Chris is a sleeper. People don’t understand. He’s a talented young big man. He’s one of those guys you just have to leave him out there and he’ll adjust real quickly. I think the sky’s the limit for him.”

Back to back: The Bulls play the Bucks on Sunday at the Bradley Center. They are 6-10 in the second game of back-to-backs this season. The Bulls are 2-1 against the Bucks this season – winning 117-106 and 100-90 at the United Center and losing 106-101 at the Bradley Center.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Hawks hopeful he’ll return before postseason begins

Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith (right) checks the Flames’ Freddie Hamilton during first period March 26 in Calgary.

BLACKHAWKS

Keith says he needs to be ‘smarter’ in the future Will not appeal 6-game suspension for ‘dangerous’ stick-swinging incident

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Duncan Keith’s intensity is one of the defining characteristics of his game. On the ice, he rarely smiles. After games, he broods at his locker stall, stewing on losses and missed opportunities. It’s part of what separates him from other players.

But that fire and bubbling fury has come to the surface at least three times now, resulting in dangerous, illegal plays. He elbowed Vancouver’s Daniel Sedin in the head in retaliation for an earlier hit. He slashed Los Angeles’ Jeff Carter in the face in retaliation for a Carter slash to his ungloved hand.

And he swung his stick at the face of Minnesota’s Charlie Coyle in retaliation for being knocked to the ice.

All three actions earned him suspensions, the latest a six-game ban that will keep him out of Game 1 of the playoffs.

Does Keith – one of the most decorated and lauded defensemen of his era – worry about his reputation? Is he

a dirty player? Can he be a clean one from now on?

Keith believes he can.

“I try to play the game hard, and for the amount of minutes I play, the games I play, I feel I play the game hard,” Keith said Saturday in his first public comments since the Coyle incident Tuesday night. “At the end of the day, I try to leave it on the ice. I’m not really focused on what I’m trying to leave out there as far as a reputation. I think everybody wants to have a reputation as a clean, honest player.

There’s a line and a limit. It’s just being smarter and knowing that.”

Keith was asked if he can control his temper and assure both himself and his teammates that such an incident won’t happen again.

“Well, I think I’m going to have to,” he said. “It’s just knowing that line.

I’m a competitive person, but I don’t think that’s something that I can’t stop.

I think I can stop that.”

Keith said he won’t appeal the sixgame suspension, which was handed down Friday night after his over-the-

phone hearing with the NHL’s Department of Player Safety, which called Keith’s action “an intentional and retaliatory act of violence by a player with a history of using his stick as a weapon.” Keith called it “a dangerous play” and said he was glad Coyle didn’t have to leave the game.

He also said he spoke with Coyle and apologized.

“I called and left a message, and he called me back, so I was appreciative of that,” Keith said. “It shows a lot on his part and the type of guy he is. That’s about it. They’ve got a good team and they’re playing well. I wished him the best after.”

This will be the second playoff game Keith has missed because of a suspension; the Carter incident came during the 2013 Western Conference final.

Keith said he’ll try to make the best out of a bad situation and be ready to go when the suspension is over.

“We’ve got a lot of great defensemen and we’ve got a good team in here,” Keith said. “We’ve had experience, whether it was missing forwards, defensemen, goalies – guys pick up the slack. Whoever we play in the playoffs, it’s going to be a tough series and every game’s going to be hard-fought. I’ll be excited to come back for Game 2.”

CHICAGO – Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville was encouraged by goalie Corey Crawford’s first appearance on the ice since he suffered an upper-body injury last month and is hopeful Crawford can play before the end of the regular season.

Crawford, out since March 17, participated in individual drills at practice Saturday at Johnny’s IceHouse West.

“He felt good the last couple of days,” Quenneville said. [It Corey was] good to see him Crawford on the ice; [he was] good while he was out there and good afterward. Big first step, and I think he did a good job with it.”

Scott Darling will make his ninth consecutive start Sunday when the Hawks play the Boston Bruins at the United Center (11:30 a.m., NBC).

“We’ll have a better idea (about Crawford’s availability), but we expect him at some point. Hopefully, he gets in a game before [the playoffs],” Quenneville said.

Darling is 4-3-1 with a .912 save percentage and 2.64 goals-against average in his eight consecutive starts in place of Crawford.

Shaw out: Andrew Shaw is “dayto-day” with an upper-body injury he suffered in the Hawks’ 5-4 overtime victory at Winnipeg on Friday night and will not play Andrew Shaw against the Bruins.

Quenneville indicated it is not a long-term injury.

Hossa back: Marian Hossa, who did not play against the Jets because of an illness, participated in Saturday’s option practice and will play against the Bruins.

GOLF: MASTERS TOUR

The Associated Press Jordan Spieth was on the right side of the fairway at Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas, trying to figure out his next shot. He remembered the grass being a little thin on the left side, so any shot hit too hard in that direction was likely to run through into the scrub and dunes.

What he didn’t notice – or hear – was the guy sitting in a cart just outside the ropes.

“This kid is so smart,” Tiger Woods said as he leaned forward with his arms resting against the wheel.

More than his capacity to hole 20-foot putts, his reliable short game and the other parts of his game that don’t get enough credit, the 22-year-old Masters champion has an old head on young shoulders. It’s what led David Feherty to blurt out during an interview with Spieth, “This is like listening to Old Tom Morris.”

Woods might have remembered what happened last April at Augusta National.

Spieth and Ben Crenshaw were playing a practice round on Wednesday before the tournament started when Woods asked if he could join them on

They finished up on the 16th hole when Spieth looked back and noticed Woods putting from about 8 feet below and behind the Sunday pin placement.

in Masters history. What he noticed that day was a slight bank coming off the bunker – Spieth said it was 4 degrees – that created a small valley.

Five days later, he made the par putt from about that spot to maintain his four-shot lead and finished off a wire-towire victory.

Cameron McCormick noticed something different about Spieth when he first began teaching the 12-year-old from Dallas. The kid was relentless with questions. McCormick attributes a big part of Spieth’s smarts to his parents. His father, Shawn, played baseball at Lehigh.

His mother, Chris, played basketball at Moravian.

The golf IQ is difficult to measure.

Woods, as complete a package as golf has seen in his generation, prided himself on understanding how to play and how to win. He thought through every shot.

Is Spieth smart? Or does he just make a lot of putts?

“I think I have a high golf IQ, sure,” Spieth said. “I think what that means is I’m able to dissect different situations, different lies, winds and where pins are.

Not only judging the distance, but judging – based on our knowledge of the golf course – the appropriate spot where to miss is and how to make par from there.”

UConn sweep: Breanna Stewart, Geno Auriemma win Associated Press awards

By DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS – Breanna Stewart is in a class by herself. Even her decorated coach, Geno Auriemma, found himself in a place he couldn’t imagine.

The 31-year coach who has won 10 national championships fought back tears after receiving The Associated Press Coach of the Year award Saturday, one day before his Huskies open the Final Four in their bid for an unprecedented fourth consecutive NCAA title.

“I can’t describe it. I don’t know why it happened,” Auriemma said. “It’s been really different from the time the NCAA Tournament started. This is a once-in-alifetime opportunity.”

Auriemma’s Huskies are two victories away from another championship and Stewart is a big reason why.

UConn’s star senior won the AP Player of the Year award for a record third time. She was also the unanimous choice, the first time that’s happened since the award was first given in 1995.

“When it was announced, I didn’t know that was the case,” Stewart said.

“I never knew there wasn’t a three-time award winner for basketball. It definitely resonates a little bit. I’m sure it will sink in more tonight. It’s an unbelievable honor to do something in a sport that’s never been done before.”

Stewart was surprised to see her coach so emotional.

“I’ve never seen him like that, but I think it showed he’s human and cares so much about this team and this group,” she said.

Auriemma has never been one to shy away from questions or stir up controversy with his answers. Yet on Saturday,

he was emotional in a different way. He was talking about making it to the Final Four again and his group of seniors when he started to choke up as his team watched from a few feet away.

“I usually don’t get like this, I don’t know what the hell’s going on ... I don’t, I don’t, I don’t get like this, not for stuff that concerns me personally,” Auriemma said. “I don’t know why but for some reason, this week has been really different for me. I don’t know why. It just has been really different.”

Stewart won as a sophomore and junior and joins Ralph Sampson of Virginia as the only college basketball players ever to be honored three times by the AP. She has helped UConn to win 73 consecutive games and is the only player in the history of the sport with 400 assists and 400 blocks in her career. She’s led the Huskies to 149 wins over four seasons and with two more victories will win a fourth championship and have the most victories for a player in NCAA history.

“It’s funny, I was at Virginia when Ralph was the national player of the year,” said Auriemma, who won the AP award for an eighth time. “The impact he had on that school and that basketball program. Thirty-five years later, to have it happen with Stewie. It almost doesn’t make sense that could happen. I witnessed it. Experienced it with Stewie.”

If UConn does win its next two games, Auriemma will have an 11th national championship that would move him past UCLA coach John Wooden for the most all-time in college basketball history. Auriemma received 16 votes. Scott Rueck of Oregon State, UConn’s opponent in Sunday’s semifinal, and Muffet McGraw of Notre Dame were second with three votes each.

NASCAR: MARTINSVILLE SPEEDWAY

By HANK KURZ Jr. The Associated Press

Kyle Busch (18) does a burnout as he celebrates winning the NASCAR Camping World Truck race Saturday at the Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Va. SCAR’s truck series and became the third different winner in as many races this year.

“This is just a day that we’ve been looking for, for a long, long time,” Busch said in Victory Lane.

The last 55 laps featured five of the 11 restarts, and all eyes were on Busch because he opted to stay out

while Matt Crafton, who was in sync with Busch on tires, headed for the pits and his last set of fresh tires. Busch again established a lead of several car lengths on Nemechek after the restart, but with about 30 laps to go another caution came out, and then another with about 20 laps to go.

Crafton, on better tires than any-

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Kyle Busch could have been a sitting duck, like he’s been before at Martinsville Speedway.

Instead, the luck went his way for a change as he held off John Hunter Nemechek in a two-lap overtime restart and won the NASCAR trucks race at NASCAR’s oldest, smallest track on Saturday, his first victory in 31 career starts on the 0.526-mile oval.

Busch, who was saving his last set of fresh tires for an opportune time inside the final 50 laps, never got one and won despite driving the last 115 laps on the same tires. Much of the rest of the field had tires that were at least 30 laps newer, and a few also got burned when they pitted for scrub tires expecting the same last full pit stop, but a series of late restarts helped Busch end his Martinsville drought.

Nemechek got second and Busch’s teammate, William Byron was third, followed by Kyle Larson and Timothy Peters.

Busch won for the 45th time in NA-

one, could only muster a seventh-place run because of all the yellow flags.

“That’s the chance you take when you go that far and then want to pit and try to come back up through the field, is all the cautions and stuff, or getting yourself caught up in a wreck,” Busch said. “We played it the right way, whether we dumbed into it or not.”

With 21 cars on the led lap, the cautions were critical because Busch never gave anyone a chance to make him fight for the lead.

The race went back to green with 16 laps to go and Busch put some distance between himself and Nemechek and Larson, but as the field scrambled to gain position behind them, a crash in the backstretch brought out another caution on lap 236.

This one led to an 8 1⁄2-minute red flag to clear debris, and the field made several laps under a yellow flag as the cleanup continued, setting up what would have been a challenging final six laps for Busch to hold on.

Then a large crash in Turn 4 brought another caution, another nearly 5-minute red flag and the overtime race to the finish.

When vacation beckons, find good pet care at home first

By KATHERINE ROTH The Associated Press When vacations beckon, finding reliable care for a beloved family pet too often is an afterthought, a detail to be left to a friend, neighbor or the teenager down the block.

It shouldn’t be, experts warn, and disasters can and do happen.

But with the right planning, a family holiday can be as enjoyable for the pets who stay home as it is for their traveling humans, said Beth Stultz, spokeswoman for the North Carolina-based Petsitters International, an educational organization for pet sitters with nearly 7,000 client businesses in 27 countries.

“There’s a misconception that anyone can care for a pet, but it’s a lot tougher than it appears,” Stultz said.

Find a sitter who is experienced with animals, trained in basic first aid and insured, she said, and even if you know the person, it’s a good idea to have a signed contract with expectations clearly stated.

Rachel Bowers, owner of a pet-sitting company, Brooklyn Bark in Brooklyn, New York, said, “Friends often offer to help, but they tend to be flaky and bail at the last minute, or they show up but really don’t understand that dogs need to go out three times a day and cats need their litter changed regularly,” she said.

What to do with a pet while you’re out of town depends on the type of animal and its temperament.

Many people see their pets as family members and take them along on vacations. The North Carolina-based Tripswithpets.com provides details on petfriendly travel options.

But other animals don’t take well to travel: for example, dogs who suffer from motion sickness or stranger anxiety, or breeds prone to respiratory problems.

Kennels are a popular option and range from modest to full-scale resorts. And then there is a home setting, either yours or that of a pet-sitter.

“Some kinds of dogs, like older or very young dogs, or dogs with special issues, are better off being cared for at home,” said John Caro, owner of Camp Bow Wow, a “vacation camp” for dogs in Stamford, Connecticut. “If they don’t do well in a play area with other dogs, home is probably the best choice.”

Many pet owners ask sitters to visit frequently or spend the night in their home, or housesit to care for pets full time.

Thousands of qualified pet sitters are listed on the Petsitters International website, petsit.com. Because an estimated 80 percent of housesitting arrangements involve pets, housesitting organizations

Petsitters International certified professional pet sitter Scott Black has been pet sitting for more than a decade in Kingwood, Texas. The educational organization for pet sitters with nearly 7,000 client businesses in 27 countries. such as Trusted Housesitters (trustedhousesitters.com) or HouseCarers.com also can help.

Stultz said contracts can be downloaded from the Petsitting International website, and pet owners should check a sitter’s references thoroughly.

As for first aid, “If your pet is diabetic or older, make sure the pet sitter is comfortable and experienced with that,” she said. “And even if your pets are in great shape, a pet sitter should be capable of dealing with emergencies.”

Book well in advance, advised Bowers, of Brooklyn Bark.

“There’s always the guy who calls while changing planes and says he totally forgot to figure out pet care – we don’t recommend that,” she said.

Her business offers discounts to those who book early. Depending on the pet’s needs, she said, sitters can stop by several

times a day to care for the animal. They also frequently are asked to spend the night in the house.

“We care for all kinds of pets. We have a pig who thinks she’s a dog, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, snakes and fish.

No tigers. But way more than just dogs and cats,” she said.

For the many people who turn to people they know for pet care, Caro said to choose “a responsible adult with good common sense, because things can get dangerous very fast.”

“If your niece decides to take your bull dog for a walk on a hot day, the dog could pass out from exhaustion after just a few blocks. Or we heard a case where a dog got into the Tylenol. A dog could die from that,” he said. “Common sense, a good understanding the pet involved and knowing where to turn in an emergency are essential.”

Author Spotlight

ALICIA MARCOS BIRONG Hometown: Crystal Lake Latest Book: “Changing the Chatter: Help Your Daughter Look Beyond the Mirror for Self- Esteem” Publisher: ETC Publishing Release Date: March 2016 Where can we find your new book?

Amazon, Barnes and Noble (online), Smashwords.com, Marvin’s Toys and La Bellisima in Crystal Lake, and it will soon be at the Crystal Lake Public Library.

What’s it about?

The book is a culmination of a yearlong project. ... [I] developed Changing the Chatter: Celebrating ChatterGirls, a self-esteem building course for girls ages 8 to 14 years old. The book provides both personal insights as well as a program overview and its outcomes.

Where did the idea come from?

After more than 30 years of working with families and youth as both a counselor and youth minister and [through my] own personal journey, I believed a resource needed to be made available to help parents of girls in the early developmental stage of their lives.

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

The book is of a self-help nature, and, as I am a life coach and have a master’s degree in counseling, it is a natural fit. I have dedicated my life to helping others evolve into the people they want or need to be.

Who is the intended audience?

Parents, grandparents and caregivers.

Why is this story important to you?

This is my story. The story of a girl who faced challenges and low self-esteem and created a better life for herself. I wished to share the tools with parents and their daughters to avoid the pitfalls children face in today’s society.

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

The book was a year-long process, with editing and publishing to follow.

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

Telling the history of my life and looking back at the good that came from some of the not-so-fondly remembered moments was a perk of writing the book. Editing was a tough job in terms of determining what was relevant to helping others and what was surrounding backstory.

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

The book is being published through a company by the name of ETC Publishing whom I’ve had a relationship with for more than 15 years.

They have encouraged me for many years to write a book, and they were honored to publish it.

What is your education/background?

Through my certification as a youth minister, I decided to complete my master’s in counseling at Loyola.

I am a certified life coach, hypnotherapist and pediatric hypnotherapist.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

I started ChatterGirls more than three years ago, and after working with the groups of girls, I decided it was important to tell my personal story and the reasons behind the program.

Who are your favorite authors?

Father Andrew Greely, Thich Nhat Hanh and Bryan Kelly

Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

Danielle Steel

MEET-THEAUTHOR TEA

Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

Want garden space in a city? Look up

By KATHERINE ROTH The Associated Press NEW YORK – Looking out across an urban or even some suburban skylines, most people see an expanse of rooftops.

A few enterprising gardeners, however, see something different: wasted acreage just waiting to be planted.

Rooftops are an underutilized resource “in precisely the places where space is everything and fertile land is most scarce,” said Annie Novak, author of a new book, “The Rooftop Growing Guide” (Ten Speed Press). “It makes you want to roll up your sleeves and get growing.”

Novak is co-founder and head farmer of the Eagle Street Rooftop Farm in Brooklyn. Her book is filled with images of rooftop gardens and farms in cities and suburbs across the country.

“Rooftop growing is nothing new,” Novak said. “It’s actually an ancient tradition that has been largely overlooked. Urban people in tight spaces have always made room for rooftop gardens.”

She offers a 5,000-year timeline that includes Scottish sod-roof houses dating to about 3000 B.C.; Mesopotamian ziggurats featuring rooftop shrubs

and trees; the Hanging Gardens of Babylon; European rooftop gardens of the 17th and 18th century; and recent green-roof projects in Chicago, Portland, New York and Montreal.

“It’s important to reconnect with that long tradition and realize that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. You just need to try to improve upon it,” Novak said. “There’s a big community of expert rooftop gardeners out there, with lots of experience and wisdom to share.”

She advises beginners to search online for “rooftop,” “garden” and their city’s name to find like-minded gardeners.

Successful rooftop gardeners, she added, must be energetic and unafraid of standing out in a crowd.

“You have hard work ahead of you,” she writes in the book’s introduction. “You will find yourself climbing multiple flights of stairs, or riding up in an elevator in which you are the only person carrying a bag of potting mix, your flats of lettuce next to someone else’s briefcase.”

In addition to bringing fresh food and jobs to urban centers and helping the environment, some types of rooftop growing also help keep buildings cooler in summer and warmer in winter, proponents say. “Green roof”

StraightTalk Rick Atwater

growing systems, in which the rooftop is protected by waterproofing membrane and layered with a relatively lightweight soil mix engineered for rooftop use, can add to a flat roof’s longevity by reducing UV light exposure and helping with common problems like stormwater runoff.

Not all rooftops are created equal, though, and the first step is to check your building’s specifications and how much weight the roof can handle, along with local laws. There must be safe access to the roof and some sort

of wall around the top so that no one falls off.

“Rooftop growing requires permission, practicality and patience,” Novak writes.

Consider building codes, zoning, climate and wind (a major challenge in this type of farming).

John Stoddard, whose Higher Ground Farm in Boston serves restaurants and farmers markets, said rooftop growing is unlike other kinds of gardening in many ways.

“We don’t have rabbits to contend with, but we have seagulls here and we have wind, so we need to stake our tomatoes accordingly,” he said.

On the upside, “Bees somehow find their way up here. We’re on the ninth floor, but I’ve seen dragonflies and plenty of ladybugs.”

There are three main systems used for rooftop gardening: container gardens (easiest for novices or gardeners on a budget), greenhouse gardens (more common in four-season climates where they can be productive even in winter) and green roof growing.

“Unlike the other two, the green roof has environmental benefits, provides an insulating layer to the building, holds storm water and can allow for gardening much the way it’s done on the ground,” Novak said.

No magic formula for finding best treatment I thought I’d toss some statistics at you this morning. First, it is estimated about one in 10 people who drink alcohol, at all, will develop a problem with it sometime in their life, and about two-thirds of the population drink alcohol. I find that staggering.

Another number you might find interesting is only about one in 10 of the people who try recovery will stay sober longer than a year. The proportion of people who recover permanently from alcohol problems makes up a very small percentage of the people who need it or even the people who try it.

I’m no mathematician, but the population of the U.S is about 323 million. So that means more than 200 million people drink alcohol in this country. If one in 10 will have a problem, that comes to about 20 million problem drinkers. According to the Alcoholics Anonymous general ser-

vice office, there’s about 1.3 million AA members in the U.S. The numbers of those who have ceased to use alcohol on their own or have used other self-help or professional methods is hard to determine, but suffice it to say the number of recovering people likely falls far short of 20 million.

In addition, there has been an ongoing controversy over the “success rate” of various addictions treatment modalities. If only 1 in 10 stay sober for a year in AA, is it a success or a failure? I guess it depends on who you ask. Those numbers do not include those who relapse, come back and stay clean, but still the odds aren’t that good.

Are they better if you use other methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, meditation or religion?

Some research says yes and some says no. Treatment programs argue and bicker that they’re methods

work, and I’ve even heard one treatment program boast an 80 percent success rate. I believe this is based on what I would call the fluctuating criterion method – change the definition of success to fit the person asking the question.

In the end, “Recovery” with a capital R is a process not an event, and so has to be viewed over time and with a broad understanding statistics are unlikely to capture. Some would include “risk reduction,” or the idea if a person drinks or uses drugs less or uses a prescription substitute for a street drug that can be considered “Recovery.” Others reject that notion and consider “Recovery” only abstinence. Some people can moderate their use, but this begs the question of whether they were problem users in the first place.

Maybe one size doesn’t fit all, and in the end, some combination of

cognitive change, emotional change and a belief in something greater is the answer. Maybe the emphasis of one type of treatment is better for one category of addictive disease and not as effective for another.

I think the best treatment, along with knowledge, experience and skill, has to include tolerance, perseverance and kindness from the provider and willingness, open-mindedness and honesty from the receiver. With that combination of factors, it becomes more probable the light can be switched on. I honestly don’t know if that probability can be measured.

Author Ray Faiola to discuss ‘old-fashioned experience’ at museum

By KURT BEGALKA editorial@nwherald.com UNION – Ron Faiola never set out to be famous, but a combination of film, food and flair has allowed this a former KFC fry cook, turned author, to cook up more than a little excitement.

Faiola’s newest book, “Wisconsin Supper Clubs: Another Round,” is due out this summer. The creator of the documentary and book “Wisconsin Supper Clubs: An Old Fashioned Experience” highlights 50 more of the state’s finest establishments – including Ray Faiola Fitzgerald’s in Genoa City and Colony House Restaurant in Trevor.

Faiola will speak at 7 p.m. April 4 as part of the McHenry County Historical Society’s 30th annual Sampler Lecture Series at the museum, 6422 Main St., Union. A $10 donation is requested and can be bought at 815923-2267 or www.gothistory.org.

“Apparently, it was in my DNA. I was in fast food,” Faiola said. “In film school [at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee], one of the first films I made was called ‘Wieners,’ about trying to find cocktail wieners.”

The quirky short film, which premiered at the International Student Film Festival in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 1987, was a hit. It prompted Faiola to do food documentaries in the style of Rick Sebak’s “Sandwiches That You Will Like” or George Motz’s “Hamburger America.”

But when the economy collapsed in 2009, so did the market for commercial films. Faiola had to get creative.

“WISCONSIN SUPPER CLUBS – AN OLD FASHIONED EXPERIENCE”

WHEN: 7 p.m. April 4 WHERE: McHenry County Historical Society and Museum, 6422 Main St., Union COST & INFO: The third in the museum’s 30th annual Sampler Lecture Series. Author and filmmaker Ron Faiola will discuss why supper clubs are such a big part of Wisconsin’s food culture and what the full experience of supper club dining entails. A $10 donation is requested for this program. Tickets and information: 815-923-2267 or www.gothistory.org.

“I picked up my camera and realized no one had looked at Milwaukee Fish Frys,” he said.

“Fish Fry Night Milwaukee,” which aired on the Milwaukee and Madison PBS stations in 2009, soon sparked a look at the other part of the equation: the venues that put on these feasts.

“While doing that movie, I realized that supper clubs was a whole other topic that no one had tackled before.

Then the next thing you know, I’m

writing a book,” Faiola said with a laugh. “It’s pretty wild; it’s like lemons in the lemonade and other food lessons.”

So in addition to being president and founder of Push Button Gadget Inc., which specializes in multimedia and business theater productions, the 53-year-old added author to his résumé in 2013.

“When I was a kid, we used to go to them,” Faiola said. “I have memories of going to supper clubs and enjoying

them. They are only open for supper.

Fridays are for fish frys, Saturday prime rib.

“Now that I’ve been to well over 120 supper clubs and had an opportunity to talk with so many of the owners, now they are picking my brain when I go on the road. ‘Are we doing this good or this bad?’ I had a manger come up to me and give me a brandy old fashioned sweet, and ask: ‘Am I doing this right?’ ” Equally valuable are the conversations he’s had with patrons.

“I love traveling around the state, and I love meeting people,” Faiola said. “I like that kind of honesty; people being themselves. And in Wisconsin, everybody is friendly up there; a bunch of cheeseheads. It’s a culture, and it is a way of life … and there is a lot of good food.”

The last in the four-part Sampler Lecture Series also will be at the McHenry County Historical Museum with Antonio Delgado. Between 1910 and the 1950s in the United States, particularly the Midwest, railroads employed a large number of Mexican immigrants to lay track. These immigrant railroad workers and their families lived on railroad property, in railroad boxcars and “section houses,” year-round. The program not only underscores the important contributions these laborers made to the area – with the use of photos, maps, political cartoon and other period images – but it also compares anti-immigrant practices employed then with the current climate.

A $10 donation is requested for individual programs. The boxcar program is made possible through a grant from Illinois Humanities. For information or to buy tickets, call 815923-2267 or visit www.gothistory.org.

Ray Faiola answers the question: What defines a Wisconsin-style Supper Club?

• Prime rib or surf and turf specials every Saturday night • Pre-supper relish trays (preferably served on stainless steel) • Christmas lights strung across log structures year-round • Waitresses that call you “Hon”

• Manhattans and old-fashioned cocktails automatically served with brandy • Jell-O served as a salad option • Walleye is a regular menu item • No cappuccino, ever

• All-you-can-eat fried fish on Fridays • Grasshopper and pink Cadillac cocktails that are large enough to share * Bonus: A musical trio in the bar that knows how to play “The Girl from Ipanema”

By OLIVIA MORRISSEY • editorial@nwherald.com all it intuition, or maybe string theory. Jen Lucas knew if she could use her skills in math and creativity to create design patterns, then she could make it as a professional knitter.

Lucas, an experienced chemist with a penchant for purling, transformed her for-fun hobby into a full-time business, one she works at more than 40 hours a week.

“When you turn your hobby into your job, it is truly

your job,” said Lucas, who lives with her husband, Alex, in Fox River Grove. “You have to focus and really work at it. It is very challenging, but so worth it.”

What started out as a hobby quickly became a way of life for Lucas, who majored in chemistry at Loyola University in Chicago. After graduating in 2004, she and a friend were looking for ways to fill their time after work.

Her friend bought a knitting booklet with some yarn and suggested Lucas learn to knit, and then teach her.

Continued from page 6 “Some friend, right?” Lucas said with a laugh. “I remember the title of the booklet was something like, ‘Learn to Knit in a Day.’ That title lied; it took me way longer than a day to learn how to knit.”

But her passion for the art form was instantaneous. Soon, her free time was occupied by not only needles and skeins of yarn, but designs that grew in complexity as her skills advanced. She found her favorite patterns to complete were shawls, and soon she was sharing designs of her own on the knitting-focused social network Ravelry and on her blog, Knitting Like Crazy.

As she mastered new techniques, such as cowls, crescent shawls and socks with “fish lips kiss” heels, Lucas began considering the idea of knitting full time and becoming her own boss. While working in the environmental laboratory at Lake County Public Works, Lucas wrote her first book of knitting designs, “Sock-Yarn Shawls: 15 Lacy Knitted Shawl Patterns,” released in January 2013.

“I went into it not really knowing what to expect. I had a ‘we’ll wait and see’ attitude,” she said. “The book sold like hotcakes, and to this day it is one of my publisher’s best-selling books in the knitting sector. The response has just been amazing.”

The decision to leave her job and take up knitting full time came after the success of her second book, released in September 2013, and it was not an easy one.

“It was a difficult decision for me because I knew I would be losing a steady paycheck and stability,” Lucas said. “It was a lot of long hours and long days, but has all been so worth it.”

The fourth book in the Sock-Yarn Shawls series is scheduled for release in May. The first two focus solely on creating knit shawls, while the third and fourth introduce patterns for a variety of fashion accessories. In addition to writing, Lucas continues to maintain her website, blog and Ravelry presence, as well as attend knitting conferences and teaching events.

In January, Lucas traveled to Palm Springs, California, to teach a knitting intensive for the Knitting Guild of the Desert. She was one of several professional knitters invited by the organization to teach her knitting designs to members. She also has

BOTTOM: Lucas knits a poncho of her own design. Her latest book is “Cozy StashBusting Knits: 22 Patterns for Hats, Scarves, Cowls & More.” taught for knitting guilds in Crystal Lake, Barrington and Deerfield.

“When I first started, I didn’t know if I would love to teach knitting. But it has become one of the best parts about my job, and I hope to do more of it,” Lucas said. “I really love seeing other knitters make my patterns and make them their own.

That is what makes me happy and love what I do.”

In an email, Donna Hoover, president of Crystal Lake-based knitting guild Cultured Purls, said she feels the same way about sharing the art of knitting with others. Established in 1999, Cultured Purls is made up of 40 members and meets once a month. In addition, the organization holds an informal “knit and chat” every Tuesday evening at the Barnes and Noble in Crystal Lake. It is an open session and the ideal time for newcomers to learn more about the group.

Hoover said that while she has not yet experienced Jen’s teaching in person, she and the other guild members have learned so much from the Sock-Yarn Shawls series.

“Jen has many followers in our guild and we have found her books to be very concise,” Hoover said. “Jen’s writing displays her true passion for this art.”

“When you turn your hobby into your job, it is truly your job. You have to focus and really work at it. It is very challenging, but so worth it.”

Second career?

More Boomers choosing ‘artist’ The Associated Press One was a stockbroker, another a computer whiz. There’s a therapist and a small-business owner. Each retired from a traditional career and launched into another in the arts.

“Do I still have nightmares about the other [job]? Yes,” said Bill Sanders, a Steamboat Springs, Colorado, a ceramics artist who is retired from the lumber and wood flooring business he owned for 20 years. He said he still wakes up sometimes in a cold sweat worrying about whether some shipment is making it to a job site on time. Then he realizes he doesn’t need to worry about

that anymore.

These days, Sanders, 64, keeps to the outdoors – he skis during the winter and volunteers for the U.S. Forest Service during the summer – and creates his artwork, which includes dishware, decorative pots and sculptured horses.

He learned the basics of ceramics as a teenager living in Southeast Asia.

He kept at it while growing his Honolulu lumber and flooring business to include eight employees and more than $1 million in inventory by the time he sold the company in 1997.

Then, he and his wife, Barbara, also an artist, moved to Colorado, and he turned to his lifelong love of ceramics more intentionally.

“Clay is kind of cool. It’s just dirt,” Sanders said. “If you don’t like what you did, you just throw it back in the bucket and then you can make something else.”

Jennifer O’Day, 61, of Austin, Texas, is a former stockbroker who said her mixed-media artwork nourishes all her senses.

“It really sharpens my ability to see visually and perceptively and I think tactilely,” O’Day said. “It’s not just about my mind and my hand accomplishing something. It engages that whole mind-body-soul thing.”

She was born into a business-oriented family, so that was in her blood, she said. The art she nurtured.

“I wanted to do something that was closer to the bone and less about the money,” O’Day said about the portraits she now assembles.

There’s one aspect of her old stockbroker life that she sometimes misses: engaging with clients.

Geri deGruy, 59, also enjoyed her previous career, as a therapist in private practice, although it was emotionally grueling working with many of her clients, who were abused women.

“Toward the end of my practice, there was a feeling sort of like PTSD,” she said.

She turned from being a therapist to the textile arts, which required she slow down.

“I started seeing form differently.

I started seeing repetitive patterns,” said deGruy, who creates small art quilts and mixed-media collages. “My eye was developing, my seeing was changing.”

She still works every day.

“Always our time is short – we never know,” deGruy said. “I have that urgency every day. I don’t want to waste this moment. I don’t want to miss this opportunity to play with color.”
