Good morning, McHenry County ...

Operation Click helps save lives Congratulations to Marengo High School junior Cassidy Bowers and Harvard High School senior Katie Wright. The two McHenry County students were the lucky winners of new Ford Fiestas given away as part of Operation Click.

As detailed in Northwest Herald reporter Allison Goodrich’s story Wednesday, Operation Click is a partnership between the Crystal Lake Police Department, Crystal Lake Park District, Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce and Community High School District 155 in which local students sign a safe-driving contract at the beginning of the school year for a chance to win one of two cars.

Operation Click emphasizes seat belt safety, the dangers of texting and driving and passenger limits, among other things.

As the parent of a high school freshman who’s just beginning to learn to drive, teen driving safety is front of mind. Of course, we all know how teens can be. After a couple of times taking my son out to “practice” drive, he told us: “I

LONDON – A woman from Wales cannot name her baby daughter Cyanide, a British court ruled Thursday.

The woman, whose name cannot be published for legal reasons, has infant twins and wants to name her son Preacher and her daughter Cyanide, saying the poison is a “lovely, pretty name” with positive associations because it helped kill Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Local officials objected, and a family court judge ruled against the mother in September, saying she was not acting to secure her children’s welfare.

She challenged the ruling, saying it was her right to choose her children’s names. But three Court of Appeal judges upheld the decision in a judgment published Thursday.

State budget impasse creates challenges for specialty court staff

‘‘

Sometimes the uncertainty is the issue we get scared about because we don’t know if we’re going to be able to get our clients treatment, or if we have to make a treatment plan on the fly.”

Jason Sterwerf, McHenry County specialty courts director

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – As the state of Illinois reaches 10 months without a budget, McHenry County specialty court officials are wondering how much longer they can sustain treatment plans with a significant number of residential programs cutting back or shutting their doors.

Specialty courts have come onto the scene in McHenry County relatively recently as its drug court program nears its five-year anni-

versary, and mental health court approaches nine years in the county. Grants and a number of administrative fines and fees largely fund the specialty courts.

Both programs have graduated a total of 115 participants since their inception.

Jason Sterwerf, director of McHenry County’s specialty courts, said while the state’s budget impasse has not had a direct effect on its court programs or budget, a number of out-of-county providers are feeling the financial squeeze.

Sterwerf said the court programs still are able to work with community partners such as Rosecrance, Centegra and Mathers Clinic, but the uncertainty of where treatment programs will be financially down the road is what makes planning ahead most challenging.

“Sometimes the uncertainty is the issue we get scared about because we don’t know if we’re going to be able to get our clients treatment, or if we have to make a treatment plan on the fly,” he said.

See SPECIALTY COURTS, page A10

Because of the state budget impasse, specialty courts in McHenry County are having to work around the outpatient treatment programs that are hurting without a budget, which leads to longer wait lists and the possibility of longer timelines for treatment.

FOX LAKE

Gliniewicz’s widow seeks pension Police Pension Board to discuss allowing village to intervene in decision

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – The widow of disgraced Fox Lake police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz has applied to receive her husband’s pension, leaving the village’s Police Pension Board to sort through the implications the couple’s alleged criminal dealings might have on the process.

Board Chairman Fred Loffredo said Melodie Gliniewicz submitted her formal application a couple weeks ago. Meanwhile, the 51-year-old widow faces several felony charges of money laundering, conspiracy and misusing charitable funds.

Lake County authorities claim she and her husband misspent more than $10,000 in funds from the Fox Lake Police Explorer Post 300, which the late Gliniewicz ran.

She has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The charges against Melodie Gliniewicz came nearly three months after Lake County Major Crimes Task Force investigators announced Joseph Gliniewicz had shot himself and staged his Sept. 1 suicide to look like a homicide in fear years of embezzling from the ex-

plorer post would be discovered.

“Under normal circumstances, obviously she is entitled to the pension benefits,” Loffredo said. “There is no reason she shouldn’t file for them because the legal ramifications have yet to be sorted out as far as if we have to deal with them.”

State law prohibits felons from receiving pensions if they have been convicted of crimes relating to their service, and allows the Illinois Attorney General to stop public pension payments to convicted felons.

However, Gliniewicz’s activity did not come to light until after his death.

Before Melodie Melodie Gliniewicz was indictGliniewicz ed, board attorney Laura Goodloe said the board would hold a hearing to consider evidence and testimony before making a determination.

She also had told the Northwest Herald if the commission approved the application, the Gliniewicz family would receive a pension between 50 percent and 75 percent of the nearly 30-year-police veteran’s salary, which village documents

showed was about $96,000.

Goodloe did not respond to a request for comment Thursday.

The pension board during its 9:30 a.m.

Monday meeting will discuss allowing the village to intervene in a process that otherwise would only include the board, its attorney and the applicant.

Village Administrator Anne Marrin said she sees it as the village’s fiduciary responsibility given the sum of money that could be paid out over the course of a lifetime.

“It allows us to come to the table and be part of the discussion and be part of the process,” Marrin said, declining to comment on whether she believes the pension is rightfully owed to Melodie Gliniewicz.

“We believe we have something to say,” she added.

State law allows for other government agencies to intervene with the decision of the board, made up of a retiree, two active employees and two people appointed by the village.

“We are going to weigh all the facts and make a decision and whether that’s agreed to by all the parties we have to wait and see,” Loffredo said.

Interim D-18 superintendent to retire Leader cites health concerns; to leave in June

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com MARENGO – After serving as interim superintendent of Riley School District 18 for a year, Jim Davis will be retiring in June because of health concerns.

Concerns Davis, 67, did not want to disclose for publication prompted him to tender his resignation with the board last month. He added he was “getting along fine,” but it was simply time to retire and relax.

“I’ve got a house in Florida, and my wife and I will go down in the winters,” Davis said.

As a part-time administrator, Davis is allowed to work no more than 100 days a year. The district has had a part-time superintendent while the school principal position has been a full-time role.

“We’re really sad he’s leaving,” District 18 school board President Anita Mitchell said. “He fit in really well with teachers and principals.”

The school board hired the Illinois Association of School Boards to conduct the candidate search and on Monday was presented with six superintendent candidates to consider, Mitchell said.

She said at this point she could not provide further Jim Davis information about the candidates.

“Now, we’ll each review the information and meet again at the regular board meeting and discuss where we want to go next,” Mitchell said.

Before his interim role with District 18, Davis said he taught and served in a

variety of administrative roles mostly in areas near Pontiac, as well as spending some time working in a Caterpillar plant in Pontiac.

His salary at District 18 was about $60,000, he said.

Davis is the fourth superintendent in McHenry County who has announced his departure since December. The contract of Harvard School District 50 Superintendent Lauri Tobias was amended in December to allow her to retire at the end of next year.

In Marengo Community High School District 154, the current assistant superintendent of operations for the one-school district, David Engelbrecht, was hired to replace Superintendent Dan Bertrand, who will step down in July after more than a decade in his role. And Ryan McTague was hired by the McHenry Community High School District 156 Board in January with Superintendent Mike Roberts retiring at the end of the year.

Board may rescind backing of Rauner’s agenda to settle suit

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – Gov. Bruce Rauner may have to turn Illinois around without the symbolic help of the McHenry County Board, which is settling a lawsuit prompted by its support of the governor’s agenda.

The County Board will vote next Tuesday to rescind its nonbinding 2015 resolution backing Rauner’s “Turnaround Agenda,” in exchange for the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 dropping its lawsuit alleging that board members who met with Rauner before the vote violated the Illinois Open Meetings Act. While the county admits no wrongdoing in the resolution, the settlement includes paying the union $25,000 to cover its legal fees.

The lawsuit seeks to get the vote rescinded and the resolution declared null and void, and alleges that it had its origins in an illegal meeting.

Local 150 filed the lawsuit about a week after the County Board voted April 9, 2015, to approve a resolution backing Rauner’s agenda to reverse Illinois’ increasingly desperate economic fortunes, which among other things would significantly curtail union collective bargaining laws.

Union spokesman Ed Maher said Local 150 and the board have been working together to reach the settlement, but declined further comment until the County Board approves it

“I think the board wants to [vote to settle the lawsuit], but we’ll wait and see what the board does.”

67% next week.

The union represents county government building maintenance workers and McHenry County Division of Transportation drivers.

County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, was cautiously optimistic that the board will vote to settle the suit.

“I think the board wants to do it, but we’ll wait and see what the board does,” he said.

Local 150 alleged that enough board members attended an April 8, 2015, event with Rauner at the Woodstock Opera House to constitute an open meeting under the law, requiring 48 hours advance public notice, which was not given.

Furthermore, the lawsuit alleged that union members were not allowed to attend the event, which also would be illegal if the gathering constituted an open meeting under the law.

The County Board voted the following day, 16-5, to approve the nonbinding resolution, following 90 minutes of opposition during public comment

from a standing room-only audience of union members.

Speakers blasted Rauner’s agenda, particularly allowing for approving right-to-work laws by voter referendum and eliminating prevailing wage laws, as a bad deal for county residents and harmful to the middle class.

A vote Tuesday to settle the lawsuit will end one of two headaches that may have originated with its approval of the symbolic resolution.

Local 150, upset with the vote, tipped off the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund last year with an allegation that County Board members were not working the 1,000 hours a year required to qualify for the IMRF pensions that all but a few members had signed up to receive.

The IMRF is now investigating and asking board members to submit proof that they are meeting the annual minimum, although it is not the union but state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, who is now pressing the issue. Franks said his pursuit of the matter is independent of Local 150’s complaint.

City looking to fill alderman vacancy NORTHWEST HERALD MARENGO – After Marengo Alderman James Regelin’s resignation, the city is looking for candidates to fill his position on the City Council.

Marengo Mayor Don Lockhart is responsible for filling the vacant seat in Ward 1 with the council’s consent, according to a notice on the city’s website.

Interested residents who live in Ward 1 should contact Lockhart by April 30 to be considered for the appointment.

Regelin was required to resign from his seat because he’s moving outside of Ward 1, which covers the southwest portion of the city.

The city is divided into four wards, with two aldermen serving in each one. A map of wards can be found on the city’s website, cityDon Lockhart ofmarengo.com.

Regelin served on the council for about a year and submitted his resignation March 31.

Lockhart must fill the position with-

in 60 days, and the appointment is expected to be considered at the May 23 City Council meeting.

Eligible candidates must be at least 18 years old, a registered voter and a continuous resident of Ward 1 for the past year, according to the notice.

The appointment will last until May 2017, and a special election will be held in April 2017 to fill out the remaining two years of the four-year term position.

Lockhart can be reached at Marengo City Hall, 132 E. Prairie St., and at 815-568-7112.

Committeemen re-elected Chairman Michael Bissett, Vice Chairwoman Kristina Zahorik and Treasurer Mary Mahady.

They also elected Kathleen Bergan Schmidt as secretary to replace a vacancy left by former secretary Judy Vandenboom.

The party hopes to capitalize on national momentum, and on the significant uncertainty in a GOP presidential race with an unpopular candidate in the lead, to trickle down locally.

Democratic candidates have filed to run in five of the six County Board’s districts, and the party plans to caucus in the coming days to slate more, including candidates to run for countywide offices.

State law requires the precinct committeemen in both parties the month after each March primary to caucus and elect their county leadership.

Precinct committeemen are elected in the primary rather than the November election.

ALGONQUIN – A shortened roadside check with Illinois State and Algonquin police officers last weekend yielded four citations and one written warning, all related to driver’s license offenses.

The check at Route 62 and Ryan Parkway was held during the late hours of April 8 and was scheduled to last into the morning hours of April 9, but was shortened because of inclement weather, police said.

The project was funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Transportation Safety.

With a presidential election looming in less than seven months, Republican and Democratic officials in McHenry County kept their leaderships in place.

Republican and Democratic precinct committeemen who caucused Wednesday evening re-elected their leaders without opposition to two-year terms, with each electing one new Michael Bissett member.

Sandra Salgado was re-elected to a second term as chairwoman of the McHenry County Republican Party, as was Secretary Diane Evertsen and Treasurer Chuck Wheeler.

McHenry Township Republican Party Chairman Steve Rooney was elected to replace former vice chair-

man Andrew Gasser, who opted instead to run for and win the chairmanship of the Algonquin Township Republican Party – he ran with a slate that defeated the township party’s incumbent leaders.

Salgado, Gasser, Wheeler and Evertsen won two years ago on a platform of invigorating a party apparatus they alleged became lax and ineffective and turning it into an aggressive get-out-the-vote operation.

Sandra They rode the 2014 Salgado election wave that was favorable to Republicans nationwide and swept the McHenry County Board, ending an eight-year period in which voters elected several Democratic members.

The re-election of the leadership team of the Democratic Party of McHenry County also went without incident.

8 MARENGO

LOCAL BRIEF

Decision on water-sewer rate tabled to work on budget gap

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com

MARENGO – The decision on whether to raise Marengo residents’ water-sewer bills was tabled so the city could pull together other options on how to fill an expected $90,000 gap in the water-sewer budget and save for capital improvements, City Administrator Gary Boden said.

Staff will present options of rate increases between 0 and 4 percent for the council to review at the April 25 Marengo City Council meeting, according to drafted meeting minutes.

“I think that there’ll be some understanding or consensus drawn at the next meeting, but I can’t say for sure,” Boden said.

The postponement will push back the date the City Council will vote on its final budget for the next fiscal year, he said, which starts May 1.

The council would not vote on the final budget until the May 9 meeting, Boden said, and he doesn’t expect anything would be affected by voting on the final budget after the start of the fiscal year.

At the March 28 City Council meeting, direction from the council was split on whether staff should move forward with an increase that would add about $9 a quarter to the bill of an average homeowner using 17,000 gallons of water in a quarter, Boden said.

And when the item came up again at MonGary Boden day’s meeting, Aldermen Nicole DeBoer, Steven Mortensen, Michael Smith, Matt Keenum, Dennis Hammortree and Brett Martin approved a motion for staff to look at other options for water-sewer budget increases. Alderman Todd Hall voted no, according to

the drafted minutes.

“I voted to postpone it to the next meeting just because there’s got to be another way,” Martin said Tuesday. “I don’t want to vote yes until I know every option is exhausted.”

Boden said at least 25 residents attended the meeting, and the majority of people who spoke during public comment said they opposed a rate increase.

Alderman Steve Mortensen said the issue for most residents was that they weren’t happy with paying high bills for poor quality water – a complaint he and others on the council said they weren’t previously aware of.

Staff was directed by the City Council at Monday’s meeting to look into developing a portion of a water main along West Grant Street to improve water quality, Boden said, which could be done in conjunction with the water main construction to address the contamination on Ritz Road to save costs.

Lake in the Hills man cited after Crystal Lake crash

CRYSTAL LAKE – A 19-year-old Lake in the Hills man was cited after he rear-ended a vehicle that was stopping for a pedestrian Thursday morning, police said.

A 55-year-old man from Crystal Lake was driving a 2002 Honda CR-V east on Ackman Road when he slowed for a pedestrian crossing at Westport Ridge, Crystal Lake police Sgt. Paul Olszak said.

The man was rear-ended by a 2012 Mazda 3 after the driver, Jake Calistro, was blinded by the morning sun, Olszak said.

Calistro was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

His car suffered heavy damage and had to be towed from the scene.

The CR-V was not damaged or towed.

Drugs or alcohol were not factors in the crash, Olszak said.

Police said both drivers were wearing their seat belts and no one was injured.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – The Huntley Fire Protection District chief’s district-issued SUV is out of service after police said the chief rear-ended another vehicle on Randall Road this week.

Chief Ken Caudle was driving a 2012 Dodge Durango in the outside lane of southbound Randall Road about 2 p.m.

Monday when he rear-ended a 2011 Ford Escape driven by a 28-year-old Crystal Lake woman as they approached Algonquin Road, Lake in the Hills police Sgt. Don Fowler said.

The collision pushed the Escape into the back of a 2004 Lexus ES330 being driven by a 57-year-old McHenry man, Fowler said.

All three vehicles suffered heavy damage and had to be towed from the scene, Fowler said. No one was injured in the collision.

Fowler said Caudle was not cited in the crash at the request of the other drivers.

Caudle said he was on his way from a meeting when the crash occurred.

The SUV will need to be repaired before

he can drive it again, Caudle said. He did not know what the cost would be to repair the Durango, but said the district bought it for $29,000 in 2011.

• SPECIALTY COURTS Continued from page A3

There have been instances where staff members have had to avoid certain residential programs because those treatment facilities have made significant service cutbacks or shut their doors completely, he said.

This requires the specialty court staff to often be one step ahead when planning the best course of treatment for a client.

“We kind of conduct business as usual, and if there is an issue at the treatment level, since we have a good relationship with (our treatment providers), they let us know and we go forward,” Sterwerf said.

Haymarket Center in Chicago was forced to close its residential detox units, and Lutheran Social Services of Illinois closed 30 programs in January that served about 4,700 people.

More than 90 percent of the programs that closed were directly linked to nonpayment by the state. LSSI closed programs that impacted services for seniors, substance abuse treatment and mental health counseling, among others.

Specifically, LSSI’s facility in Elgin closed one unit of residential rehabilitation, a facility where clients can live while they complete drug or alcohol re-

habilitation, said Barb Hailey, director of communications and advancement.

One unit of residential rehabilitation remains open.

“This action is kind of unprecedented,” Hailey said.

Ultimately, Sterwerf said he hopes to see some form of stability when a budget is passed, so he and his staff have a better idea of what to expect when scheduling treatment for their clients.

Scott Block, executive director of the McHenry County Mental Health Board, said the biggest issue continues to be finding the appropriate level of treatment for individuals given program cutbacks.

“This has translated into financial stress for providers and their limited ability to increase their capacity,” Block said.

Mental health court previously had a partnership with Pioneer Center for Human Services, dedicating one of the residential mental health homes to the program, but with late state payments, Pioneer Center had to downsize its residential programming and eliminate the home. Almost three-fourths of their $20 million annual budget comes from the state.

Most recently, Pioneer Center officials are scrambling to raise $400,000 to keep their doors open.

The center operates 18 behavioral health programs and saw 4,800 clients last year.

“It has limited the options that court personnel have to refer programs,” Block said.

Block said it is in everyone’s best interest to have programs for clients accessible as quickly as possible. If that level of care is unavailable, it could extend the length of time that person may be in jail while they wait for care, he said.

Looking ahead, Block said the court programs have local resources that can provide some stability, and so they may have to rely on more of those programs.

“The faster you get someone into treatment after their court proceeding, the more likely they are to succeed in the program,” Block said. “It pushes pressure on the process to work quickly.”

BRIEFS Founder of specialty food retailer Hickory Farms dies

TOLEDO, Ohio – An Ohio businessman who started specialty food company Hickory Farms that sells sausage sticks and cheese trays has died. Richard Ransom was 96.

The Toledo-area-based company said Ransom died Monday.

Ransom started selling cheeses at home shows and fairs in 1951 and soon began Hickory Farms, adding sausage, crackers and mustards to its product line. Hickory Farms opened its first retail store outside Toledo in 1959. It grew steadily and once had 600 stores, mainly in shopping malls in the U.S. and Canada.

Sales dropped steadily during the 1990s in its year-round stores, and the company has focused on catalog and Internet sales.

Ransom sold the company in 1980.

He went on to start an adoption agency for children with special needs.

Lucky the Leprechaun voice actor dies in N.Y. at age 93

NEW YORK – The actor who gave a sprightly voice to cereal mascot Lucky the Leprechaun in TV commercials for three decades has died in New York.

Arthur Anderson was 93.

Anderson stopped singing that Lucky Charms are “magically delicious” in 1992. He said he was constantly stopped in public and asked to sing the tagline, but noted that he never got any free Lucky Charms himself.

Before taking on the role of Lucky, Anderson started in the theater at the age of 10 and later on to radio shows.

He also appeared on Broadway with Orson Welles in Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” in the movies “Midnight Cowboy” and Woody Allen’s “Zelig,” and on TV’s “Law & Order.”

Anderson’s friend, actor Craig Wichman, said he died Saturday in Manhattan.

Chicago weighs cost of proposed police changes

CHICAGO – A day after a task force blasted the Chicago Police Department for decades of discrimination, law enforcement officials weighed which of the panel’s recommendations could be adopted and how much they might add to Chicago’s already heavy financial burdens.

The only thing that was clear about the group’s 190-page report was that it can’t be treated like critics say previous studies were – shoved into a desk drawer and forgotten.

“Either we act now and do the right thing or the Department of Justice is going to mandate that we turn and do the right thing,” Alderman Anthony Beale said, referring to a separate review of Chicago police practices being conducted by the federal government.

The task force created late last year

by Mayor Rahm Emanuel portrayed the Chicago department as a place where racist officers have been able to hide behind rules and procedures, and police brutality was easily kept secret.

Chicago officers have “no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color,” the panel’s report said.

The report issued Wednesday also offered a list of suggested reforms, including increasing the number of body cameras and posting complaints against officers and their discipline records online for everyone to see.

Unemployment up again in March, hits 6.5 percent

CHICAGO – Illinois’ unemployment rate edged up again in March as the state added jobs but not enough to keep pace with the number of people looking for work.

The state Department of Employment Security said Thursday that unemployment hit 6.5 percent in March. That was up from 6.4 percent in February and the fifth straight monthly increase.

Department director Jeff Mays pointed out that the increase in the unemployment rate comes in spite of the state adding 14,700 more jobs in March than it lost.

The national unemployment rate for March was 5 percent.

In Illinois, the leisure and hospitality industry sector added a net 6,300 jobs in March, and construction employment grew by 4,100 jobs.

Manufacturers cut a net 3,100 jobs, and professional and business services firms shrunk by 1,400 jobs.

drug dealers while on duty.

Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that 45-year-old Robert Vaughan of Frankfort admitted in a plea agreement to robbing eight drug dealers from 2011 to 2013, earning $300,000.

Prosecutors said he stole cocaine, marijuana and contraband cigarettes. He pleaded guilty last year to one count of robbery.

Prosecutors said Vaughan would arrest suspects but keep the narcotics and release them without charges. They said Vaughan sold the narcotics in exchange for cash. Prosecutors said he also stole marijuana based on tips from informants.

Vaughan was arrested in November 2014 along with another officer after stealing 70 pounds of marijuana from someone they believed was a drug courier but actually was an undercover federal agent.

Beauty licenses expedited for pre-release prisoners

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois regulators are making it easier for prisoners on the verge of release to apply for state barber and cosmetology licenses while they remain behind bars.

The Illinois departments of corrections and financial and professional regulation announced a new measure this week allowing inmates who’ve completed coursework for those licenses to apply for state certification within six months of their expected release or parole.

tine Radogno said during the debate that she wasn’t sure if Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner supported the plan. Other Republican lawmakers also said they wanted Van Pelt to wait for a vote on the measure because of the State’s Attorney’s Appellate Prosecutor’s Office’s opposition to the wording of the bill. Matt Jones, spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, would not explain what the concerns were.

Van Pelt said the Rauner administration told her that the governor would sign her plan if the Legislature approved it. She said she plans to meet with Radogno to discuss her concerns.

Van Pelt said the plan is scheduled to return to the full Senate for a vote next week.

Inmates will meet with the state licensing boards by video conference.

Officials said the move will reduce employment barriers for ex-offenders and is a response to a state Criminal Justice and Sentencing Commission recommendation.

Offenders were previously not allowed to start the application process until they were released.

USDA: Cooler temperatures delay Illinois planting

SPRINGFIELD – Federal officials said cooler temperatures sometimes dipping below freezing have prohibited Illinois agricultural producers from planting until they find warmer soil.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its weekly crop report for Illinois that fieldwork continues, and the spring calving season has begun.

The USDA’s crop report indicates the statewide average temperature was 41 degrees – six degrees below normal.

Precipitation averaged just more than half-an-inch, also less than normal.

Topsoil moisture was rated at 74 percent adequate. Subsoil was 82 percent adequate.

The amount of corn planted was at 2 percent, while the five-year average is 6 percent. Oats planted jumped to 32 percent, up 19 percentage points from last week.

Pasture and range conditions were rated at 56 percent good, 17 percent excellent.

Trump campaign worker wherever school authorities won’t face battery charges spend the time and money to WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Donald Trump’s campaign manager won’t be prosecuted for battery after briefly grabbing a female reporter’s arm at a campaign event, but prosecutors said Thursday the situation might have been avoided with two simple words: I’m sorry.

State Attorney Dave Aronberg said at a news conference there wasn’t enough evidence to justify bringing misdemeanor simple battery charges against Corey Lewandowski for the March 8 dustup with Michelle Fields, then a reporter for the conservative Breitbart News website.

Although Lewandowski’s act wasn’t criminal, Aronberg said there may have been an easy way to defuse things.

“In a case like this we do encourage an apology. Had an apology been given at the beginning of all this, we could have avoided the whole criminal justice process,” Aronberg said.

Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Bernie Sanders (right), I-Vt., and Hillary Clinton speak Thursday during the CNN Democratic Presidential Primary Debate at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York.

Bitterly feuding, Clinton, Sanders clash in debate The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Deepening their increasingly bitter feud, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders aggressively challenged each other’s judgment to be president in Thursday night’s Democratic debate, sparring over Wall Street banks, how high to raise the minimum wage and gun control.

The showdown in Brooklyn came at a pivotal moment in the party’s primary campaign, with Clinton leading in the delegate count but Sanders generating huge enthusiasm for his surprising candidacy.

The Vermont senator took a biting and often sarcastic tone as he sought to chip away at Clinton’s credibility on issue after issue. He went as far as to suggest that her labeling of certain criminals as “superpredators” when she was first lady was “a racist term and everybody knew it was a racist term.”

Sanders also cited Clinton’s support for the unpopular Iraq war and for free trade agreements, as well as her willingness to accept money through a super PAC, as evidence that she lacks the needed judgment to lead the nation.

Still, he backed away from previous statements questioning Clinton’s qualifications, saying the former secretary of state does have the “experience and intelligence” to be president.

Clinton made little effort to hide her irritation with Sanders’ challenging of her qualifications, saying that while she has been “called a lot of things in my life, that was a first.” She repeatedly linked herself to President Barack Obama, who remains popular among Democrats, suggesting Sanders’ criticism of her

amounted to condemnation of the president.

Clinton cast Sanders as unprepared to implement even his signature policy proposals, including breaking up big banks. She also chided Sanders for chuckling during an exchange on gun control, an area where she has painted him as cozy with gun dealers and manufacturers.

“It’s not a laughing matter,” she said. “I take it really seriously because I have spent more time than I care to remember being with people who have lost their loved ones.”

The debate was the first for the Democratic candidates in five weeks. It came ahead of Tuesday’s primary in New York, a high-stakes contest with a huge cache of delegates at stake.

For Clinton, a win in a state that twice elected her senator would blunt Sanders’ recent momentum and put his pursuit of the nomination further out of reach. A Sanders upset over Clinton would shake up the race, raising fresh concerns about her candidacy and breathing new life into the Vermont senator’s campaign.

The Democratic primary has been fought for months on familiar terrain. Clinton has cast Sanders’ proposals for breaking up banks and offering free tuition at public colleges and universities as unrealistic. Sanders has accused Clinton of being part of a rigged economic and political system, hammering her repeatedly for giving paid speeches to Wall Street banks and refusing to release the transcripts.

Clinton continued to struggle to explain why she has not released the transcripts, saying only that she’ll do so when other candidates are required to do the same thing. She tried to raise questions about Sanders’ own openness for not releasing his income taxes.

U.S. set to send commandos, combat aircraft to Philippines

By LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press MANILA, Philippines – In a military buildup certain to inflame tensions with China, the U.S. said Thursday it will send troops and combat aircraft to the Philippines for regular, more frequent rotations, and will conduct more joint sea and air patrols with Philippine forces in the South China Sea. The announcement by U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter in a news conference with Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin was the first time the U.S. disclosed that its ships had carried out sea patrols with the Philippines in the South China Sea, a somewhat rare move not done with many other partners in the region.

Carter insisted that the U.S. did not intend to be provocative and was “trying to tamp down tensions here.” But Gazmin said he expected that U.S. forces, “with their presence here, will deter uncalled-for actions by the Chinese.”

The increased troop presence is part of a broader U.S. campaign to expand its assistance to the Philippines as America shores up its allies in the Asia-Pacific that are roiled by China’s building of man-made islands in the South China Sea. While the military boost does not include permanent basing for U.S. troops, China views any increased U.S. military presence and activities in the region as a threat.

“Military exchanges by relevant countries should not target third parties, much less support a few countries in challenging China’s sovereignty and security, inciting regional contradictions and sabotaging regional peace and stability,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement in response to Carter’s announcement.

Carter said the U.S. will keep nearly

300 troops, including Air Force special operations forces armed with combat aircraft and helicopters, in the Philippines through the end of the month.

The U.S. will increase troop rotations to strengthen training and support increased military operations in the region.

Speaking in the guest house of the presidential complex, Carter said the joint patrols will improve the Philippine navy and “contribute to the safety and security of the region’s waters.” Two patrols have taken place since March.

The U.S. also has conducted joint patrols with Japan in the region.

Carter has said that China’s increased aggression in the region is compelling more countries to reach out to the U.S., strengthening their military ties with Washington.

The increase in military support comes days after the Philippines’ am-

bassador to the U.S. asked the Obama administration to help persuade China not to build in the nearby Scarborough Shoal, which is viewed as important to Philippine fishermen. Ambassador Jose Cuisia Jr. said the Philippines cannot stop China from building there. China has built man-made islands in other contested spots in the South China Sea. Charlito Maniago, the leader of a northwestern Philippine village where many fishermen lost access to the disputed Scarborough Shoal after China seized it in 2012, said the joint patrols will bring hope that fishermen can again sail freely to the rich fishing ground.

“This will boost the confidence of our fishermen because they think the U.S. has the capability to defend them,” Maniago told The Associated Press by telephone from the coastal village of Cato in Pangasinan province. “The presence of America will make China think twice.”

BRIEFS Canada’s new assisted suicide bill doesn’t allow visitors

TORONTO – Canada on Thursday introduced a new assisted suicide law that will apply only to citizens and residents, meaning Americans won’t be able to travel to Canada to die.

Canadian government officials said a person would have to be eligible for health services in Canada to take advantage of the law, which applies to “adults who are suffering intolerably and for whom death is reasonably foreseeable.” It says the person must be mentally competent, 18 or older, have a serious and incurable disease, illness or disability and be in an advanced state of irreversible decline of capability.

Canada’s Supreme Court last year struck down laws that bar doctors from helping someone die, but put the ruling on hold while the government came up with a new law. The proposed law still requires approval in Parliament but is expected to pass, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government controls the majority of seats.

6.5-magnitude earthquake kills 9, injures 800-plus in Japan

KUMAMOTO, Japan – At least nine people were killed and more than 800 injured by a magnitude 6.5 earthquake that toppled houses and buckled roads in southern Japan, the government’s chief spokesman said Friday.

Yoshihide Suga said he would visit the area, 800 miles southwest of Tokyo, to assess the damage. He said 1,600 soldiers had been deployed, and TV reports showed some delivering blankets and adult diapers to the thousands of people who took shelter because their homes were wrecked or unsafe.

About 44,000 people sought refuge, although some returned home in the morning.

Thieves target almonds, walnuts from California combined, according to CargoNet, an alliance of cargo shipping firms and law enforcement agencies aimed at preventing losses.

Losses for all four years combined reached nearly $7.6 million, the group said.

“It’s made my life miserable,” said Todd Crosswell, general manager of Caro Nut Co. Caro was victimized six times last year for a total loss of $1.2 million. In each case, thieves stole cashews imported from Vietnam and Africa that were roasted, salted and packaged in Fresno.

“You get hit with that kind of loss – it hurts,” Crosswell said.

The value of nuts grown and processed in California, the nation’s leading agricultural state, have soared in recent years as global demand for the health-food snack grows in places such as China and emerging economies.

California produces more almonds, walnuts and pistachios than any other state, with a combined value of $9.3 billion in 2014. Almonds alone were valued at $5.9 billion, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

• Friday, April 15, 2016

FRESNO, Calif. – International crime rings targeting California’s booming agriculture industry are increasingly stealing truckloads of high-value nuts, prompting authorities and the firms falling victim to ramp up efforts to break the spree costing millions.

The sophisticated organizations in many cases use high-tech tactics, hacking into trucking companies to steal their identities. Armed with false shipping papers, they pose as legitimate truckers, driving off with loads of nuts such as almonds, walnuts or pistachios valued at $150,000, and some worth $500,000 each.

Days later, when a shipment fails to arrive to its intended destination, the nuts may already be in another state or on a ship destined for Europe or Asia, where they fetch top dollar on the black market, authorities say.

Nut thefts hit an all-time high in California last year – with losses totaling $4.6 million from 31 reported cases, more than the three previous years

OUR VIEW

End abusive travel, dining expenses We wholeheartedly support legislation by state Rep. David McSweeney that seeks to rein in inexcusable travel and dining expenses of local government officials using taxpayer money.

For the record McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, We urge the Illinois Senate to filed House Bill pass Rep. David McSweeney’s 4379 in January in HB4379 quickly and Gov. Bruce response to reports of Rauner to sign the legislation controversial public into law. travel and entertainment expenses across the state.

The bill passed the House 113-0 earlier this week and now goes to the Senate, where we urge quick passage.

According to a story by Northwest Herald senior reporter Kevin Craver, the legislation seeks to limit the amount of money that non-home-rule governments can spend on travel, meals, lodging and entertainment.

If signed into law, it would require local governments to be much more transparent in approving such expenses. Local bodies would have to draft ordinances that define acceptable expenses, set maximum limits on travel and entertainment expenses, and document expenses through a standardized form that will be public under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Also, such expenses would have to be approved by vote in an open meeting, as will expenses incurred by rank-and-file employees that exceed the set maximum. Spending taxpayer money on entertainment, such as movies, shows and sporting events also would be prohibited.

It’s sad that such legislation is actually necessary. But given the many documented examples of abuse, it obviously is.

As documented in Craver’s story: • The Chicago Transit Authority has spent more than $600,000 since 2010 to send people to Hawaii and Las Vegas for pension-related conferences; • A one-school district on Chicago’s South Side spent at least $65,000 on travel for board members and staff; • Taxpayers paid for ousted College of DuPage President Robert Brueder’s membership in a shooting club and the food and alcohol tab at the college’s former French restaurant.

The list goes on and on.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

More reasons to simplify tax code Americans’ faith in their financial system has rarely been so low. Presidential candidates in both parties, from Sen. Ted Cruz on the right to Sen. Bernie Sanders on the left, argue that our politicians are bought by Wall Street and that regulators are captured by the industries they oversee.

Eight years after the global financial crisis, politicians are tapping into deep skepticism among Americans about the way money flows here and around the world. The skepticism has had impact beyond the campaigns: It has helped stall, for instance, important trade agreements like the Trans Pacific Partnership and stoked opposition to the Export-Import Bank.

Comes now one more blow.

About 11.5 million documents taken from a single Panamanian law firm reveal the way the global elite – from world leaders to ordinary rich folks – have taken advantage on a massive scale of laws that permit secretive and

often suspicious transactions to remain covert and nearly untraceable.

Already, Iceland’s prime minster has resigned. Spanish authorities are looking into possible tax violations by an offshore firm revealed to be owned by the aunt of the reigning Spanish king.

So far, Americans have not been named among the dozen or so world leaders found to have had hidden interests in off-shore companies. But USA Today has reported that the documents do reveal that the law firm in Panama has helped create more than 1,100 offshore firms in America in the past 15 years, mostly in Nevada and Wyoming. Indeed, Nevada is now one of the world’s 10 busiest tax havens, on a list that includes British Virgin Islands, the Bahamas and Samoa.

We should be clear: Establishing a company in Nevada, even if its owners, employees, and primary business functions all are located in another country, isn’t usually illegal. It’s legal in the

same way that major American corporations have in recent years kept profits from overseas sales parked in offshore accounts in order to avoid paying U.S. taxes.

But as President Barack Obama told reporters last week.

“The problem is that a lot of this stuff is legal, not illegal.”

The U.S. Treasury Department is on the cusp of announcing another round of rules that will require banks to know who their customers are, and what their business is. That’s a start.

A simpler tax code – with fewer incentives to shelter ownership – is another.

In the meantime, companies – and the law firms and accountants and banks that help them – that continue to use such tactics to avoid taxes and shield from scrutiny both their owners and their operations must cop to their role in furthering the mistrust ordinary Americans have for their financial system.

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 Dallas Morning News

VIEWS Albert Hunt give him all three of that district’s delegates.

He’s being challenged in some places by Kasich. If, as Cruz has demanded, Kasich dropped out, it would ensure a Trump sweep in New York.

If Cruz and Kasich were to focus their time and resources in different venues – the Texas senator in more conservative upstate districts and the Ohioan in several New York City and in suburban districts – they would have a better shot at denying the front-runner half the votes in a number of districts.

Trump almost certainly will win a majority of New York’s delegates, but the difference between, say, 85 and 60 could matter a lot in his quest for 1,237.

Similar allocation formulas apply

the following week in Connecticut and Maryland, where polls show Trump ahead. Kasich could challenge him more effectively in some suburban areas and Cruz in regions where there are more Christian conservatives.

In a number of districts, and in states like Indiana, where all three Republican contenders have strengths, Kasich and Cruz have to compete against each other.

But the final primary day, June 7, underscores the potential advantages of cooperation between the two Trump challengers. California elects 172 delegates, most by winner-takeall vote in each of the 53 congressional districts; New Jersey picks 51, all awarded to the winner of the statewide vote.

A smart challenger strategy would look like this: Kasich would make a concerted effort in a dozen or so California districts, mainly in the northern part of the state; Cruz would wage a major fight against Trump in most of the others.

In New Jersey, Kasich is best positioned to take on Trump and his chief supporter, Gov. Chris Christie. Kasich’s technocratic centrism fits the profile of a good New Jersey candidate, and he has a gubernatorial record demonstrably better than that of Christie, whose hapless presidential run cost him popularity in his home state. In a three-way Garden State race, however, few doubt that Trump would prevail.

But in the past several weeks, Trump’s rivals have been throwing as many punches at each other as at Trump. Cruz’s strategy has been to get to a one-on-one contest with Trump, while Kasich’s has been to win late primaries to demonstrate electability in hopes of being chosen at a deadlocked convention in Cleveland in July.

These plans have been overtaken by events; sticking to them helps Trump.

To the Editor: One of my most cherished freedoms is to be able to choose products and services that fit my needs. Apparently, McHenry Township does not trust me to make the right choices in solid waste services and wants a single supplier.

I now have three suppliers to choose from and, according to the township, two extra trips per week are going to cause problems with the road. This is a weak argument.

I like having competition and am happy with price and service. But the point is, I can change if I want to. Waste Management has won the single supplier bid in at least one other township. They are

Donald Trump is getting some unlikely assistance from his opponents in his uphill effort to win a majority of Republican presidential delegates. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich remain too busy battling each other to unite in opposition to the front-runner.

Cruz and Kasich have the same goal: to prevent Trump from getting close to the 1,237 delegates he needs for the nomination. Yet in remaining contests in New York, California, New Jersey and elsewhere, the battle between the two of them sets back that effort.

Instead, they could be colluding – that’s perfectly legal – effectively dividing up some states, playing to their respective strengths.

Take New York, which has its primary next Tuesday with 95 delegates at stake. Under the Republican rules, if Trump wins over 50 percent of the statewide vote, he gets all 11 at-large delegates.

Additionally, majorities in any of the 27 congressional districts would

McDonald’s target of protests for $15/hr., union

By CANDICE CHOI

Nursing home workers and their supporters join “Fight for $15” protesters calling for a union and pay of $15 an hour Thursday on the Loyola University campus in Chicago.

The “Fight for $15” campaign is part of an ongoing push targeting McDonald’s.

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Protesters calling for pay of $15 an hour and a union were at McDonald’s restaurants around the country and overseas Thursday as part of an ongoing push targeting the world’s biggest hamburger chain.

The “Fight for $15” campaign says low-wage employees including airport workers, adjunct professors and home care workers turned out to show their solidarity with fastfood workers.

They say they’re targeting Sepia Rasheen McDonald’s beColeman cause of its abilHome care worker ity to influence pay practices in Memphis, throughout the Tennessee economy.

The push is being backed by the Service Employees International Union and began in late 2012, with striking fastfood workers in New York City. Since then, the growing demonstrations have helped make hourly pay a major political issue.

The success has prompted organizers to expand their push to energize new swaths of workers to fight for higher pay and unionization.

Organizers said strikes and protests were planned for cities including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami.

In Paris, about 100 people waving red union flags protested outside a McDon-

ald’s restaurant at Disneyland.

In New York, demonstrators were planning to march crosstown to a Republican gala in the early evening.

The campaign is taking place as McDonald’s Corp. tries to reinvigorate its business and win back customers.

This week, executives met with franchisees in Florida for a biannual convention and discussed plans for a rebound.

Lisa McComb, a McDonald’s representative, said the company gives workers access to programs that help them

earn high school and college degrees.

She noted McDonald’s raised pay last year at company-owned stores in the U.S., which account for about 10 percent of its more than 14,000 locations. The hike for starting pay was for $1 above the local minimum wage.

“We proudly invest in the future of those who work in McDonald’s restaurants,” McComb said.

McDonald’s workers called those measures a publicity stunt that failed to address the difficulties they face.

Sepia Rasheen Coleman, a home care worker in Memphis, Tennessee, said she became involved in the Fight for $15 campaign after an organizer reached out to her on Facebook.

She said she was initially dismissive, but was later awed by the support for workers she felt at her first demonstration. Since then, Coleman said she has been to Washington, D.C., for training on organizing protests.

“This is a mission,” she said. “This is something I need to do.”

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2016

NEW YORK – Jeffrey Tambor, the award-winning actor whose career has ranged from “The Larry Sanders Show” to “Transparent,” is working on a book of autobiographical essays. Crown Archetype told The Associated Press on Thursday that it would publish Tambor’s “Are You Anybody” in spring 2017. Crown, an imprint of Penguin Random House, announced that Tambor would share “introspective, humorous stories” and how he survived his childhood and his father’s motto, “Don’t celebrate, they’ll take it away from you.”

Tambor, 71, won a Golden Globe and Emmy for his role as Maura Pfefferman on “Transparent.” He’s also known for “Arrested Development” and “The Larry Sanders Show.”

‘Deadpool 2’ in works, 4th ‘Avatar’ sequel announced

AP file photo

Boston Symphony Orchestra music director James Levine conducts the symphony on its opening night performance July 7, 2006, at Tanglewood in Lenox, Mass. The Metropolitan Opera said Levine will retire as music director at season’s end.

James Levine to retire as Met music director after 40 years NEW YORK – James Levine will retire as the Metropolitan Opera’s music director at the end of the season because of Parkinson’s disease, ending a 40-year run that lifted the company to a golden era but became increasingly problematic as his health declined. Levine, who turns 73 in June, suffers from Parkinson’s disease, and his baton has become harder to follow this season.

Met general manager Peter Gelb said Thursday that Levine will become music director emeritus and a successor as music director will be appointed “in the coming months.” While Levine intends to conduct in future seasons and will remain head of the company’s young artists development program, the Met said his health has made it difficult for him to retain a full schedule.

“There is no conductor in the history of opera who has accomplished what Jim has achieved in his epic career at the Met,” Gelb said in a statement.

Levine made his Met debut in 1971, became chief conductor in 1973 and music director in 1976. His title was upgraded to artistic director in 1986, a position he held until it reverted to music director in 2004, when he also became music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

He has led 2,551 performances of more than 85 operas with the Met, by far the most by an individual in the company’s history. His tenure with a single orchestra is a rarity in a business where frequent podium shifts are commonplace.

“Through 45 years of unwavering devotion, maestro Levine has shaped the Met Orchestra into the world-class ensemble it is today,” clarinetist Jessica Phillips, chair of the orchestra committee, said in a statement. “He has a unique ability to inspire those around him to perform to the best of their abilities and beyond.”

LAS VEGAS – 20th Century Fox had its eyes on the future Thursday at CinemaCon, where it was revealed that not only was a “Deadpool” sequel in the works with star Ryan Reynolds and director Tim Miller, but that James Cameron would be making a fourth “Avatar” sequel.

Cameron had previously announced plans to make three follow-ups to his visionary box office juggernaut, but said Thursday that there was just too much material for only three movies.

The first of the four will roll out in 2018 with the subsequent films coming in 2020, 2022 and 2023.

The confirmation of a “Deadpool” sequel, however, was no big surprise to anyone.

The first film came out earlier this year and was a massive hit for the studio, grossing over $757 million worldwide on a production budget of only $58 million.

Fox always puts on a big show at the annual convention of theater owners and this year kicked off the morning’s proceedings with Vanilla Ice performing “Ice Age, Baby” – a riff on his 26-year-old hit in promotion of the studio’s “Ice Age: Collision,” out this summer.

The studio also rolled out new trailers for “X-Men: Apocalypse,” focusing heavily on Jennifer Lawrence’s character Raven, and “Independence Day: Resurgence.” Returning stars Jeff Goldblum, Vivica A. Fox and director Roland Emmerich were on site to tease the new film, which takes place 20 years after the first.

She was treated at the scene by paramedics and indicated she would seek further treatment on her own. The former member of the Supremes performed as scheduled at the Sands casino complex in Bethlehem later Wednesday.

TV One to allow fans to binge-watch ‘Empire’

NEW YORK – Fans of “Empire” will be able to binge-watch each episode of the drama’s current season before the season finale on May 18 as part of an unusual syndication deal between Fox and the TV One network announced on Thursday.

The cable network that targets black viewers will also air reruns of the music business drama this summer, and present another binge-watching marathon of episodes prior to the beginning of the third season next fall. (All the episodes already are available for streaming on Hulu.) The deal involving a program that has been on the air for only 15 months illustrates how TV’s syndication market is changing. It’s also a big play for attention for TV One, a network available in roughly half of the nation’s TV homes that previously trafficked in old sitcoms such as “Sanford & Son” and “Good Times.”

places to spend summer vacation

After yearlong cross-country trek, family picks favorite under-the-radar travel destinations

By JEFF SCHRUM The Washington Post

The most common reaction we get when people learn about our family’s year-long trek around the country living in a travel trailer is, “So what was your favorite place?” It’s not that it’s an unreasonable question, it’s just impossible to answer, despite the 40,000 miles under our timing belts. You love them all.

By the numbers, Great Smoky Mountains, Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Yellowstone draw the most visitors. But how about the unheard-of or under-appreciated gems further down the list?

They deserve some love, too.

I love the underdogs, those obscure or out-of-the-way places that surprised us with their culture, history, learning opportunities, recreation and beauty.

These are the places we easily could have missed but now can’t stop raving about, those we dream of returning to before our kids leave the nest.

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan

Standing on its pure white sand, gazing into aquamarine infinity, Sleeping Bear Dunes wows “lake people” and “ocean people” alike. As lifelong sea-goers, Sleeping Bear checked all the boxes for us. I understand why so many families return here year after year – it’s a blast. Stumbling down the 400-foot high dunes rocked (climbing them not so much) and we got totally carried away (pun intended) tubing down the Platte River. Family fun, beautiful beaches, Junior Ranger programs, world-class sunsets and quaint nearby resort towns made Sleeping Bear one of our favorite stays. Michigan: Who knew?

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California

later, we continue to reminisce about the sunsets and stars, coyotes yipping through the night, hikes through slot canyons and tropical oases, 500 miles of unpaved roads, wide-open space for kids to roam and the unforgettable view of the Badlands from Font’s Point.

Death Valley National Park, California

Many of our favorite places blindsided us. We knew little about them and almost skipped them, only to be blown away when we arrived. Welcome to Death Valley, where your adventure begins before even entering the park, descending sharply from the ear-popping passes over the surrounding mountain ranges to the lowest elevations on the continent. During our too-short stay, we crammed in a slot canyon hike, white-knuckled our way through a 27mile off-road back country drive, scaled enormous sand dunes and explored several old-west ghost towns, all while avoiding seeing one of the park’s native “sidewinder” rattlers. Rounding out its awesomeness, Death Valley holds International Dark Sky Park credentials. Oh yes, we will be back.

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, Alaska

Unless you’re one of McCarthy, Alaska’s 40-some-odd permanent residents, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park – the largest in the country – is the most isolated and inaccessible destination on this list. The frontier lives on here, in the bush and up and down the unpaved streets of McCarthy. The town’s handful of businesses rely on generators for power and a nearby spring for fetching pails of water. Thrill-seeking visitors can enjoy back-country excursions, whitewater rafting and mountaineering. The park has a lot to offer less adventurous, bear-fearing frontiersmen such as ourselves, too, such as touring the abandoned Kennecott mining town and glacier trekking.

Anza-Borrego sports a rugged look, much like the bighorn sheep who call it home. Only an hour from the sprawl of Palm Springs, the setting feels unexpectedly remote.

Perched on the red sandstone cliff like the king of the hill, feet flirting with the edge of a 1,000-foot vertical drop, I found myself securing my first-born with one hand and reaching for my selfie stick with the other. A few miles away, Antelope Canyon is another gem begging to be checked off your bucket list. Navajo guides lead small groups down impossibly steep staircases, where you’re enveloped by the most gorgeous (and photographed) water-sculpted slot canyons anywhere. Travel a little further to Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, home of another bucket-list slot canyon hike known as “the Wave.”

Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

This park immerses visitors in Ancestral Pueblo life in some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings on the continent. A ranger-guided tour of Balcony House has you scaling a cliff on a 30-foot wooden ladder and crawling

through a 12-foot long torso-width tunnel. The phenomenal ranger-led tours and hands-on environment made this our favorite road-schooling stop.

Everglades National Park, Florida

The Everglades always have held top billing on my other travel bucket list – the places I’d be scared to death to ever step foot in. I suppose morbid curiosity and the opportunity to show the boys crocodiles and alligators commingling in nature finally swayed me to suck it up. The park didn’t just surpass expectations, it blew them out of the wetlands. A one-of-a-kind ecosystem that plays home to exotic birds, cougars, bears and even carnivorous plants ... it was all but guaranteed the boys would love this place. A braver dad might have biked his kids around the 15-mile park loop, but after a too-close-for-comfort encounter with a mama gator and her pups just outside the visitor center, we settled on the enjoyable and stress-free tram tour instead.

You don’t. The best thing my pediatrician ever told me was that you cannot train a child to hold it overnight.

You can’t. It is a hormonal/maturity issue, and you cannot train or force it.

You just have to wait.

Our 3½-year-old grandchild loves helping with anything she can manage.

She’s excited to help grandpa with the trash by getting a new trash bag out of My child is now 20 months, and I have the closet, opening it, putting it in the can a friend who is newly pregnant. She keeps and putting the can back in the cupboard.

She recently helped me fold washcloths, making “digs” about the choices I have asking in between each cloth, “Do you made so far (birth plan, breastfeeding, need help, Grandma?” which elicited a co-sleeping, preschool, baptism, etc.).

“Yes, I sure do.” Two questions: First, any I have just smiled and shrugged it off suggestions on what we can ask for help because I don’t want to get into an argument, but it’s really hard to be around her. with (we are so used to doing everything ourselves), and second, any way to conWhat is your advice for how to explain tinue to promote this delightful tendency, (1) my choices were not an outline for or will she just naturally outgrow wanting society but merely my personal choices to do anything that seems like work? and (2) I am not going to judge her, so I When it comes to what this child would appreciate if she stopped with the can do, the sky is the limit: cleaning comments?

Someone who makes “digs” about baptism, preschool and breastfeeding is not someone I would waste my time on. But. There is a friendship, and when someone is making digs, their judgment is showing their insecurities. It is not a reflection on your choices. So go ahead and say (1) and (2) to

My 3-year-old has been so incredibly difficult recently. Everything is a struggle. Getting dressed in the morning is a 30-minute ordeal. Everything is “no” and a screaming fit. The rest of the day is the same. I don’t know what to do anymore; I’ve tried talking quietly, I’ve tried making it a game (“Let’s see if you can get your clothes on by the time I count to 20. You think you can do it?”), I’ve tried yelling, I’ve tried putting her directly in her bed when she doesn’t listen and closing the door. She goes completely nuts when I do that, but at least she then does what I say to do. But I hate how out-of-control angry that makes her. I’m basically at the end of my rope and feel as if I’m failing. Any advice?

willed. Your normally cooperative child will, suddenly, start fighting you on everything. And we throw everything we can at it (as you have).

Distraction. Reasoning. Making it into a game. Yelling. Punishing. The punishment (leaving her in her room) works because it plays on every child’s worst fear (separation from you).

While useful, this is not the direction you want to take your parenting, and you are wise enough to know this. You know panicking her is not healthy or good. So, what else can we do?

Stop looking for ways to get her dressed and focus more on cultivating a strong connection with her. The website Positive Discipline has some simple ideas I love (“take time for hugs,” “hold weekly family meetings,” “share sad and happy times as part of the bedtime routine,” etc.). Connection techniques like this help the child to relax and feel safe. When children feel safe and relaxed, they tend to cooperate more. It is how all humans are – kids even more so.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You’ve got the necessary moves, so don’t let anyone stand in your way. Step up and do your thing. If you are responsible, proud and gracious, no one will deny you what you deserve. Put your personal life in order and make a commitment to bring about positive change.

Love is highlighted.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Socializing, brief vacations and business trips look promising.

Someone from a different background will give you an interesting perspective on an old concept. Romance will change your personal direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You must be

cautious when dealing with emotional issues.

Someone will not see things your way, leading to an unexpected decision that will alter your plans. Retreat to rethink your next move.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t let anger take charge. Use your energy to take care of physical chores. If you hold a garage sale, you’ll make a little money and get rid of clutter.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Impulse is the enemy. Take precautions around anyone who appears confused or unpredictable. Don’t give in to someone for love’s sake if it’s not in your best interest.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Look for adventure. Embrace a challenge and make romance a priority.

Plan a fun-filled weekend with people who offer the mental and physical stimulation you crave.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Use your head and put your plans in motion, even if you have to do so alone. Your practical, no-nonsense attitude will help you reach your destination and impress someone worth knowing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Follow your heart and make a commitment that will keep you heading in the direction that makes the most sense to you. A romantic celebration will be just what the doctor ordered.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Share your ideas and plans. Your vision will interest someone who has the qualities you require to reach your goal. Don’t give too much away. Make a fair offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t hide your feelings or plans. If someone doesn’t like

what you are doing, it would be best to address his or her concerns openly so that you are free to move forward without interference.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Do what you can to help others, but don’t get involved in joint ventures, make donations or lend cash or possessions. Offer advice, direction and helpful connections, nothing more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Check out the job market. Getting together with people you have worked or played with in the past will spark an interest in something you have to offer.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – A partnership will give you the edge you need to get a project up and running. If you share your ideas and are open to suggestions, success will be yours.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff young adults – a reflection of how much they exercised. Fitness was assessed by how many minutes study participants could exercise on a treadmill test before becoming too tired to continue. The test first was performed when a person enrolled in the study. It was repeated in most of the study participants seven years later.

The people who were the most fit when the study began had a lower risk of developing heart disease and of dying prematurely. For each extra minute people were fit enough to exercise on the treadmill, their risk of developing heart disease was lowered by 12 percent, and their risk of death was lowered by 15 percent.

The people who stayed fit when retested seven years later also had lower risks of heart disease and death than those who did not. The least-fit young adults were most likely to develop thickened heart muscle that was straining to do its job.

It’s hoped the study will continue to follow its participants for another 15 to 20 years. If so, we could learn for sure whether those who stayed fit all of their adult lives did better than those who started regular exercise in their 50s or later. That would give a better answer to your question. However, based on everything we know, my advice is you start a program of regular exercise now.

Dear Dr. K: I believe you when you say regular exercise protects my health. But I’m just 20. For me the question is, when should I begin regular exercise? The diseases exercise protects against usually don’t develop until a person is older than 60. I’d like not to have to worry about exercise for a few decades.

Dear Reader: I wish I could rid you of that worry. But, in fact, if you already are not exercising regularly, you probably are putting your health at risk 30 years from now. Many of the diseases exercise protects against actually start in young adulthood and take decades to become severe enough to cause symptoms. For example, autopsy studies have been performed on soldiers killed in war – people your age. They reveal many already have early signs of atherosclerosis, the cause of heart attacks, strokes and premature death.

Many studies have shown people who exercise regularly have lower rates of heart disease, strokes, diabetes and several types of cancer. It is true those studies usually have been done in adults older than age 50. However, a new study of young adults, like you, comes to the same conclusion.

The study was performed at Johns Hopkins and was published in the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

Almost 5,000 young adults, ages 18 to 30, were included. Then they were followed for almost 27 years. The study participants came from different geographic areas in the United States. There were both males and females and people of different racial and ethnic groups.

The study did not measure how much the study participants exercised. Instead, it measured the physical fitness of these

Dear Abby: I’m DEAR ABBY 17, and have been in a relationship Jeanne since I was 13 Phillips with the same person on and off. I have been with him since my parents divorced, so you might say he’s been my crutch for a long time.

He makes it clear without him I am an emotional mess. I spend every day isolated from friends and family, while he spends his time with his friends. (I’m not allowed to be with them.) If I’m out with a friend, it is a huge issue.

I love him and I don’t want to break up, but it feels as if I’m alone even when I’m with him.

I want better. I deserve better. I am so confused.

Please help me. – Deserves Better In New York Dear Deserves Better: I am crossing my fingers and hoping you still are living with one of your parents. If you have been living with this person, I cannot stress strongly enough how important it is for you to make other arrangements.

You acknowledge he has been your “crutch.”

Well, unless someone is severely disabled – which you are not – crutches are meant to be temporary. Among the warning signs of an abuser is being controlling and preventing his victim from forming healthy relationships with other people. Another red flag is if the person chips away at his victim’s self-esteem by saying she/he “can’t survive without him.”

That you want something better for yourself and know you deserve better is a sign you still have some healthy self-esteem. So please act on it. End this relationship and don’t look back.

Dear Abby: I am a postal worker. With wedding and graduation seasons fast approaching, please pass along some suggestions to your readers: Before addressing envelopes, please make sure your address books are up to date. We do everything in our power to make sure all mail gets to where it is supposed to be, but you’d be shocked how often it’s addressed to someone who moved many years ago – or worse, is deceased.

Be sure to include the recipient’s last name and try not to use nicknames. If the address is off by a little bit, a last name on the envelope sometimes is helpful. You might think everyone knows Uncle Bob as “Moose.” But as carriers, unless we know the recipient personally, we only know his or her proper name.

And don’t forget to include your return address on the envelope so if it can’t be delivered, you’ll know the recipient didn’t receive it. That way, you won’t think “Aunt Ann” didn’t want to attend or have her think she wasn’t invited.

And last but not least, be sure to have proper postage on the envelope. Often, due to the size or thickness of an invitation, extra postage is needed. I hope this will help your readers. –

This is the traditional day by which Americans must have submitted their income tax returns; although, for some reason, we are all being given an extra three days to pay the money this year.

We are looking at opener’s rebids after he has bid one of a major and heard responder use the Jacoby Two No-trump to show at least four-card support and game-going values.

If opener does not have a strong side five-card suit to show, but has a singleton or void, he bids that suit at the three-level -- as in today’s deal.

After North control-bids three hearts, South uses Blackwood, and signs off in six spades with one ace missing. (If you employ Roman Key Card Blackwood, North should answer five spades, showing two key cards and the spade queen, claiming that he has the trump queen because he knows of at least a 10-card fit.)

How should South play in six spades after West leads the diamond queen?

It looks as though declarer must guess who holds the heart queen -- but that isn’t true. South wins trick one with his diamond ace (the honor from the shorter side first), plays a club to dummy’s ace, ruffs the last club in his hand, leads a diamond to the king, and ruffs the remaining diamond. Then he casts adrift with a trump. What can East do?

Nothing. If he shifts to a heart, it locates the queen; or, if he leads a minor, it concedes a ruff-and-sluff.

Skyhawks ride 6-run 3rd to BNC East win

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com HARVARD – Johnsburg senior Justin Gutierrez likely would have watched the high curveball sail by the bill of his helmet had he not been instructed otherwise.

Gutierrez, having seen the hit-andrun sign with runners on first and second, dutifully did his job … quite well.

Gutierrez tomahawked the pitch on a line into center field, helping ignite a six-run inning for the Skyhawks.

“I was just trying to put contact on it, trying not to miss it,” said Gutierrez, who was 2 for 3 with an RBI and a triple. “I used to like those when I was little. That gave us a little confidence because we’ve been on a losing streak.”

Johnsburg rode that big inning to a 7-5 victory over Harvard in a Big Northern Conference East Division baseball game Thursday. The win ended a four-game skid for the Skyhawks (4-8 overall, 1-2 BNC East).

The third inning started with an error and an infield hit before Gutierrez really got things rolling. Dillon Pokuta added a hit, Adam Jayko had a sacrifice fly, and Ryan Kordik and Nico LoDolce also had singles in that inning. Five of the six runs off Harvard starter Johnny Peterson were unearned because of three errors.

“We finally put a couple hits together,” Skyhawks coach Sam Lesniak said. “That was the difference in the game. We have a poor record, but we’ve been in a lot of games where if we just came up with that one hit, it’s a whole different ballgame.”

That hit may have been Kordik’s two-run, two-out single. His hit scored two, then he scored on LoDolce’s single.

“I was just looking for a good pitch to hit,” Kordik said. “I got real fired up after that.”

Chris Krennrich (2-1) struck out six and walked one in four innings to earn the win. Pokuta entered in the fifth, then Kordik came in with two outs in the sixth for the save.

Johnsburg’s Chris Krennrich pitches Thursday against Harvard in Harvard. Krennrich struck out six in four innings to earn the win in the Skyhawks’ 7-5 victory.

Harvard (5-4, 2-2) rallied for three runs in the fifth and added another in the sixth before Kordik finished.

“I was thinking, ‘Kill the situation.

Don’t let anything build, just end it here,’ ” Kordik said. “We’ve been on a losing streak, so I really wanted to get that ‘W’ more than normally.”

Harvard had beaten Johnsburg, 6-5, in nine innings Tuesday. Hornets coach Donnie Nolen liked the fight his team showed after falling behind by six.

“Early in the season, the other team got a big lead in a game and we didn’t react well to it,” Nolen said.

“We knew they could respond better than they did. Since then, there’s no game we’re out of. They’ll stay in a game and battle.”

Reiss Bielski was 3 for 4 with two RBIs for Harvard, while Mason Thompson was 2 for 3 with two RBIs.

Steve Greeley named 2016 Illinois Super Lawyer SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker Steve Greeley truly is a super man.

He doesn’t have to tell you that, Super Lawyers just did.

Super Lawyers, a rating service of lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement, recently named Greeley a Super Lawyer.

The selection process included independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations, and Greeley was part of the just 5 percent of attorneys who were honored.

“It’s a great confirmation for me of what I knew, but the rest of the world didn’t know,” Greeley said. “I’m actually good at this and I’ve been recognized as one of the top lawyers with the state.”

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Greeley would be recognized with such an honor. His clients have also recognized his

efforts and he continues to deliver proven results. Motivated by a love for effective and efficient problem solving, he’s committed to obtaining favorable results for his clients whose rights are in danger.

“I was drawn to the legal professional because of the problem solving nature of it.

Every day there are problems to solve,” he said. “I’ve always been interested in solving complex puzzles or brain teasers and things like that, and I’m able to solve them to the best of my abilities for the client.”

Greeley is a Partner at Franks Gerkin McKenna (FGM) law where he works with people throughout McHenry County and nearby counties who have been injured, and are in difficult positions physically, emotionally and financially.

“I’m passionate about helping my people in injured cases who are in bad shape,” he said. “It’s very rewarding to get things going in the right direction and help them move forward.”

Greeley also serves as a board member of Prairie State Legal Services, which handles non-criminal matters for people in poverty.

hit a home run on the first pitch of the fifth inning to give the Wolves a 15-3 lead. “We wanted to come out today and show that we are someone to be reckoned with, and we’re ready to come out and go hard.”

Hailey Baker earned the win for the Wolves, giving up three runs in the first inning on a two-run home run from Taylor Kassel (2 for 3, double, two RBIs) and a wild pitch, but settled down after.

She allowed only one hit in the final four innings and finished with six strikeouts, three walks and four hits.

The Gators committed five errors, leading to three unearned runs in the first two innings as Prairie Ridge built a 9-3 lead after two. South (2-5) is on a fourgame losing streak.

“The team that I see in my practices isn’t the team that I’m seeing on the field,” Busam said. “I need to do a better job of getting them ready to come out and compete, because this is really frustrating. I think we’re better than we’re playing. I think we’re better than our record suggests. That’s on me to do a better job to get them ready to play in big moments.”

17-3 win over the Gators in five innings.

“This was the first game that we

came together as a team completely, just ready to go and ready to have fun,” Johnson said. “We’ve all been struggling with our hitting, and it’s very frustrating. ...

We’ve been working a lot in practice, and we all went up trying to relax, take it easy and do what we know to do without getting in our heads. And it worked.”

Johnson reached base all four times for Prairie Ridge, and her two-run single capped a five-run top of the first inning that saw nine batters come to the plate.

The Wolves rarely got behind in the count and didn’t strike out against Gators pitchers Christina Toniolo and Chloe Skorija. Leadoff hitter Maddie Schillinger reached base all five times and scored three runs with three steals, while Kaleigh O’Brien went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double and three RBIs at cleanup.

McHenry County College volleyball player Abby Marchewka is joined Tuesday by Natalie Romano, 10, after Marchewka signed a National Letter of Intent to play beach volleyball at Grand Canyon University. coaching at the junior college level.

For the team to be successful – and it has been – McCall needs to recruit talented players. His ability to recruit and develop athletes has helped turn the six-win team he inherited into a team that finished in the top 10 nationally.

But when those talented recruits move on to four-year schools, sometimes after one year, McCall has to start the cycle anew.

“A two-year school has an upward battle,” McCall said. “We’re not Penn State. We’re not Purdue. We’re McHenry County College. We have to get the stigma away from a glorified high school. Our athletic programs and our college in general is not that. We’re a college.”

The Scots are winning the battle.

McCall plans to restock his team with at least nine recruits next season.

He has emphasized local athletes from a talent-rich area, including Jacobs’ Kyla Fitzsimmons and Marengo’s Nicole Johnston.

Add to that list a two-time state champion who is coming all the way from Alabama and it’s easy to see the Scots following their run to nationals with another one next year.

“The hope is that, after being re-entered into the national scene this year, it becomes a mainstay for us,” McCall said. “We don’t want to assume we’re going to be there, but we want to assume we’ll be there.”

So, although Tuesday should be a celebration for Marchewka, it is as much a party for the program as a whole.

Camera phones clicked and congratulatory hugs were shared Tuesday at McHenry County College when freshman Abby Marchewka signed her National Letter of Intent to play beach volleyball at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix.

Her parents shuffled behind a card table decorated with a purple GCU banner and smiled for the cameras. Then grandparents. Then teammates.

But of all the smiling faces standing next to Marchewka, two stood out from the rest.

Ten-year-old Natalie Romano wrapped her arm around her favorite player and smiled through her braces.

Three years ago, Romano’s sister and Marchewka were teammates on the Crystal Lake South volleyball team.

“After one game, she came up to me and said she wanted to meet me,” Marchewka said.

Romano keeps Marchewka’s signed photo tacked to the wall next to her bed and wears Marchewka’s practice jersey to matches. She’s Marchewka’s biggest fan.

“She’s been sticking by my side every game,” Marchewka said. “She’s always cheering for me.”

The next happiest person in the room wasn’t necessarily smiling like a 10-year-old, but MCC women’s volleyball coach Kyle McCall was just as proud. He stood behind the table with Marchewka, beaming.

His reaction is a little more complex, however.

When Marchewka moves on to GCU, McCall will be losing a player who totaled 253 kills. He’ll now have to replace a player who recorded 2.09 kills per set with a hitting efficiency of .173.

Imagine how the Cubs would feel if Addison Russell leaves in free agency.

Do you think they’ll be happy for him that he found a better situation? Or how about the Bears. You think everyone was bubbling with excitement when Adam Gase got a head coaching opportunity?

Yet, McCall couldn’t be happier about losing a key piece to his team.

“We knew coming in what her ultimate goal was. For her to accomplish that after being a freshman for us was huge,” McCall said. “We would love to keep her for a second year, but there’s no way we’re going to stand in the way of her dreams.”

This is the double-edged sword of

Inside Boys Tennis ATHLETES OF THE WEEK Kendrick Chong, sr., and Kerwin Chong, so., Jacobs Jacobs’ No. 1 doubles team of Kendrick and Kerwin Chong have been tagged as the team to beat in the Fox Valley Kendrick Conference. So far, they’re Chong living up to expectations.

The pair went 4-0 at the Triad Invitational to help the Golden Eagles win the event over the weekend.

Over the past seven days, the Chong brothers also picked up victories Kerwin Chong against Crystal Lake South and Cary-Grove to finish the week 6-0.

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS 1. Jacobs (4-0): The Golden Eagles have complied a 24-2 record in head-to-head matches this season.

2. Prairie Ridge (4-0): The reigning FVC champion has rolled through the early part of the schedule, dropping only three matches.

3. Cary-Grove (1-1): The Trojans started the season strong but suffered a setback against Jacobs this week.

4. Crystal Lake Central (5-1): The Tigers have won four matches in a row, including two by 7-0 sweeps.

5. Crystal Lake South (3-1): Picked up wins this week over Hampshire and Johnsburg.

NOTEWORTHY First at McHenry: It was a week of firsts for the McHenry boys tennis team.

Tuesday, seniors Nick Bellich and James Mulhall picked up their first career victories at No. 4 doubles in the Warriors’ 4-3 loss to Grayslake North. The seniors are key pieces on the basketball team (and Mulhall on the soccer team, too), but they never had played tennis before this year.

“With Nick and James coming in, that was a nice surprise for us to get a couple of athletes,” McHenry coach Kyle Funkhouser said. “They had never touched a racket before a few weeks ago. To see the progression they’ve made, it’s been pretty impressive. Anytime you can add athletes who have had success in other sports, it’s always a plus for us.”

Wednesday, McHenry’s No. 4 doubles team won again and, in the process, helped the Warriors capture their first win of the season with a 5-2 decision over Antioch.

“When you start the season off with South and Cary-Grove, it’s good and bad,” Funkhouser said. “It’s good because you know you’re going to get some really good competition. But then when you’ve got some new guys in spots and they’re coming off a couple losses in a row,

P R I M E Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week sometimes it’s not the best thing for the self-esteem. Luckily, we have a good group of guys who knew they were getting better by playing those types of teams early on. It was nice to see it pay off.”

Friendly competition: The Crystal Lake Central doubles teams are off to a fast start this season. The four doubles teams have combined to win all but four matches.

The No. 1 team of junior Ethan St. John and freshman Johnny Wallace has gone undefeated so far, and the No. 2 team of Sam Lundgren and Dev Brahmbhatt has dropped only one match.

Tigers coach Cory Osterberg said Wallace’s addition to the program has been a key part of the success. He’s been able to insert the freshman into No. 1 doubles, allowing the rest of the teams to remain in the same spots as last season, or in some cases at a lower slot.

In addition, Osterberg thinks the friendly competition in practice is helping all of the teams improve.

“My No. 1 doubles is really solid,” he said.

“My No. 2 benefits so much from playing against Ethan and Johnny. That’s been helping a lot. We’re really working on doubles strategies. It’s coming around. We’ve just got to keep grinding out the matches.”

Equally matched: The match between Crystal Lake Central and Huntley on April 5 was suspended.

The match couldn’t be more competitive at this point. Each team has won one match.

All but one of the other matches is headed to a decisive third set.

“That’s the team we’re most similar to in the area,” coach Cory Osterberg said. “We are basically like Huntley.”

The match will resume Wednesday.

THIS WEEK’S TOP MEETS Jacobs at Crystal Lake Central, 4:30 p.m. Thursday After losing to Prairie Ridge, Crystal Lake Central has responded with three decisive victories. The Tigers will have a tough test against Jacobs.

Prairie Ridge at McHenry, 4:30 p.m. Thursday McHenry was challenged with a tough early part of the schedule. The Warriors will see how much they’ve improved when they host the reigning FVC champions.

Cary-Grove at Hampshire, 4:30 p.m. Tuesday The Trojans travel to Hampshire for an FVC match.

McHENRY WRESTLING

Longtime assistant coach Guardalabene takes over

By JOHN WILKINSON jwilkinson@shawmedia.com Will Gaddy had an idea that the 201516 season, his 21st as the head wrestling coach at McHenry, might be his last.

That was part of the reason Gaddy promoted longtime assistant Jake Guardalabene to associate head coach, giving him a kind of on-the-job interview.

Gaddy followed through on his decision to resign from the position, and Wednesday McHenry announced Guardalabene had been selected as the new head coach.

“It feels real good. When I started nine years ago, if you had told me I was going to be the head coach, I would have probably told you, you were lying,” Guardalabene said Thursday. “It definitely feels good to take over for a guy like that, but there’s some big shoes to fill. Probably a little bit of pressure, stepping in for a guy who’s done such a great job for such a long time, but a good kind of pressure.”

The hiring still needs to be approved by the school board, McHenry athletic director Barry Burmeister said Thursday, but he’s confident in the selection, saying Guardalabene knows the program’s traditions and his excitement for the sport carries over to the kids.

“He came highly recommended by former head coach Will Gaddy,” Burmeister said. “He worked under Will for eight years, and Will made him the associate head coach with the idea that if he ... did what he was supposed to do, he gets a shot (at being head coach), and he did what he was supposed to do, and he deserves a chance.”

The Warriors went 295-135 in duals during Gaddy’s 21-season tenure.

Guardalabene was on his staff for eight seasons, starting as an assistant before being promoted to associate head coach this past season.

“Definitely a good progression,” Guardalabene said. “I’m glad we did it the way we did it.”

Growing up as a triathlete, CaryGrove’s Cooper Langanis learned success depends on multiple factors. So when it came time to pick a college, the senior swimmer focused on more than just what happens in the pool when he chose Division I Binghamton Cooper (New York) Universi- Langanis ty.

“The most important thing for me is it looked like a good academic school,” Langanis said. “It looked like the engineering program was pretty good, which is what I’m planning to go into.

“Also, with the swimming team, I’m a good fit there. I didn’t want to go to a team where I’d be at the bottom of the totem pole or the top of the totem

pole. I’ll be a good middle ground for them. I’ll be able to make an impact right away, which is good.”

Langanis, a two-time state qualifier, finished 25th in the 200- and 500yard freestyle prelims as a junior. As a senior, he qualified for four events and took eighth in the 200 freestyle.

Langanis was considering 13 schools. He went on an official visit to Binghamton over the weekend and committed Tuesday.

By combining his academic and athletic scholarships, he will receive essentially a full-tuition scholarship.

His goals for college are a combination of the two pursuits.

“For college, my grades and career are the most important for me,” Langanis said. “That’s definitely going to take a priority. My long-term goal would be to make the NCAA championships. For D-I, it’s really fast and super competitive. In four years, if I work hard with the good coaches, I think I can definitely make it.”

8 BEARS

Winning record attainable in favorable schedule for Bears Chicago Bears 2016-17 schedule

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush One of the silliest things an NFL fan can do is take the schedule of his or her favorite club when it’s released in April and predict their club’s record for the year.

In today’s NFL, many if not most teams make significant moves north or south in the standings from year-to-year and trying to figure out which games a team is going to win or lose in the future based on the performances of their opponents a few months ago is usually little more than folly before we consider injuries, coaching changes, off-the-field issues, etc.

Heck we haven’t even held the draft yet and there still are free agents to be signed.

When it’s harmless, though, I’ve always been a fan of silly and folly so looking at the Bears 2016 slate I’m going to put them down for ... .

Actually let’s hold off on that for a minute or two and see if we can find anything interesting or noteworthy in the Bears’ 2016 slate first.

Unless a bunch of teams get a lot better than they were last year, the Bears schedule appears to be quite favorable.

They will face only four 2015 playoff teams, and Green Bay, Minnesota, Houston and Washington had only one playoff win between them.

Those also are the only four teams on the docket who had winning records last year and only one other, Indianapolis, reached .500.

The 2015 record of the Bears 13 opponents was 90-118.

The biggest surprise in the schedule to me is that the 6-10 Bears, against this seemingly dull group,

AP photo

I get that Chicago is the third biggest TV market in the NFL, and Bears/Packers is always fun and Bears/Vikings has its trademarks, but what exactly have NFL fans done to the league and the networks to deserve the Bears vs. the Eagles and the Bears vs. the Cowboys on Monday and Sunday night the second and third week of the season, respectively?

Perhaps the better question is what have the networks done to the schedule makers?

There are things to like about the schedule.

The Bears’ bye comes in Week 9, smack dab in the middle of the season, and I’ve always believed that is the most favorable time for it to fall.

While they will face the dreaded short week in Week 7 visiting the Packers on Thursday night just four days after hosting Jacksonville, they

then get an 11-day break before playing Minnesota at home on Monday night the weekend before their bye.

It is almost like getting two byes in three weeks, right in the middle of the season when re-grouping can be invaluable.

I also like the fact the Bears will alternate road and home games every week through the first 10 weeks of the season before finally facing the Bucs and Giants in back-to-back road games, and that means they’ll play four of their last six at home including four out of five between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

At the end of the day, however, it’s still 16 games, eight home and eight away, against NFL competition.

The best forecast I can see is there is no reason to assume dramatic improvements by Tampa, the Giants, Titans, 49ers or Lions. Dallas and Jacksonville will be better, but probably something like .500, and Houston and Indianapolis could be 10-win teams again but neither should be unbeatable.

To me, this looks like the Bears

Preseason Aug. 11 – vs. Broncos, 7 p.m.

Aug. 18 – at Patriots, 7 p.m.

Aug. 27 – vs. Chiefs, noon Sept. 1 – at Browns, 7 p.m Regular season Sept. 11 – at Texans, noon, Fox Sept. 19 – vs. Eagles, 7:30 p.m., ESPN (Monday night) Sept. 25 – at Cowboys, 7:30 p.m., NBC (Sunday night) Oct. 2 – vs. Lions, noon, Fox Oct. 9 – at Colts, noon, Fox Oct. 16 – vs. Jaguars, noon, CBS Oct. 20 – at Packers, 7:25 p.m., CBS (Thursday night) Oct. 31 – vs. Vikings, 7:30 p.m., ESPN (Monday night) Nov. 6 – BYE Nov. 13 – at Buccaneers, noon, Fox Nov. 20 – at N.Y.

Just please remember I’ll be changing this prediction well before the preseason ends, and which way we’ll go only the spirits know for sure.

BATTLE IN THE MIDDLE

Shively leads competition at center; PR grad Evans, C-G grad Topole in mix

• Friday, April 15, 2016 *

eKALB – Before the start of the first practice of the spring football season, Northern Illinois football coach Rod Carey went to watch the center-quarterback exchanges.

Andrew Ness, who started the past 56 games at center for the Huskies before graduating last season, was no longer there.

“It was a little different for me,” Carey said then. “But we’ll have good guys that will step in there, and it’s going to be a heck of a battle in there.

It’s not sexy for you guys to talk about the center battle but it is for us. So, it will be a heck of a battle.”

In the fourth week of the spring season, that center battle is between redshirt sophomores Luke Shively and Shane Evans and redshirt freshman Scott Topole. Although Huskies offensive line coach Joe Tripodi said the battle is ongoing, the 6-foot-2, 285-pound Shively has been playing with the first-string offense this spring.

“Right now, he’s repping with the ones,” Tripodi said of Shively. “I would say awareness of the game (is the main reason) – he sees things a little quicker than some of the other guys.”

Shively played in seven games compared to six by Evans last season, but some of that came on special teams.

The anchor of the Huskies’ offensive line was Ness, who started every game of his collegiate career and was a two-time first-team All-Mid-American Conference offensive lineman during his five-year tenure.

“I learned it all from Andrew,” Shively said. “He knew everything and he taught me every thing I know – little tips and tricks and stuff like that.

Everything that I’ve learned at center has spawned from Ness.”

Shively played tackle at Tipton High School in Indiana and was told his senior year, before coming to NIU, he would switch to center for the Huskies. Having no experience with the position, it was a challenge to both block and get used to the shotgun snap that comes with the Huskies’ offense.

“That’s one thing I struggled with last spring was snaps and getting the blocking down,” he said. “It was one or the other for me. I’d say I have it down

One valuable part about Ness being so experienced, Shively said, was the veteran got more rest in practice – which meant the younger Shively would get more reps going against the Huskies’ first-team defense.

However, at 285 pounds, he is the third-lightest lineman on the roster, and he acknowledged he needs to improve his lower-body strength. Evans is a 6-4, 302-pounder from Prairie Ridge and Topole is a 6-4, 283-pounder from Cary-Grove.

Shively said although the three are competing for the same position, the

importance of the team still looms over the desire for the starting gig.

“It’s a battle. We’re all up-and-down different days, it just depends who is playing better that day. We won’t know

anything until fall camp,” he said.

“We’re all a team in the end. You want your teammate to be playing if he’s better. You want the best guy on the field for your team.”

10 CUBS

Hammel does it all; Cubs reach 8-1 fly.

Cincinnati had at least one baserunner against Hammel in all but one inning, but none advanced past second.

By PAUL LADEWSKI The Associated Press CHICAGO – Jason Hammel pitched six scoreless innings, drove home one run and scored another to lead the Cubs to an 8-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday night for their best start since 1969.

The Cubs swept the three-game series and improved to 8-1 for the first time in 47 years. They won 11 of 12 to start the ’69 season en route to a second-place finish.

Dexter Fowler and Addison Russell had three hits each for the Cubs, and Kris Bryant hit his second home run.

Hammel (1-0) allowed four hits, walked four and struck out three on 88 pitches in chilly weather.

Raisel Iglesias (1-1) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over five innings.

The Reds ended the shutout in the ninth against Justin Grimm, the last of three relievers.

Bryant hit a solo homer on a fullcount pitch in the second inning for a 1-0 lead. In the fifth, Hammel lined an RBI double, then scored on Ben Zobrist’s sacrifice fly.

The Cubs capped the win with a five-

After seven starts at third base in the first eight games, Bryant made his first in left field.

“My concern with a guy doing that always is his arm,” manager Joe Maddon said. “You want a short arm stroke. ... So when I get guys going back and forth, I urge them not to change their arm stroke to get more on the throw for a longer distance.”

WHITE SOX 3, TWINS 1

Sox sweep series; 7-2 start is best since 1982

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com MINNEAPOLIS – The White Sox led baseball with 51 home runs during spring training. That monster mashing hasn’t carried over to the first nine games of the regular season, but so far, a lineup that’s been in the middle of the pack or bottom third among American League teams has been more than adequate.

“We have a lot more to come,” hitting coach Todd Steverson said. “We’re in the middle of the pack without everybody hitting on all cylinders just yet, and it’s early and we’re winning ballgames. I’ll take that. I’ll take the W’s over us hitting .315 and having the reverse record.”

The Sox improved to 7-2, their best start in 34 years since they were 8-1 in 1982, by defeating the winless Minnesota Twins, 3-1, Thursday to a three-game sweep. Going in, the Sox ranked seventh in the American League with a .238 batting average and were ninth in runs with 31, ninth in on-base percentage at .298 and 10th with seven home runs. That’s nothing to write home about, but after ranking last in most categories in 2015, it

Pitcher David Robertson and catcher Dioner Navarro celebrate after the Sox beat the Twins, 3-1, Thursday in Minneapolis. looks better.

Although the numbers have been modest, the coaches and front office are satisfied with the approaches and situational hitting they’ve seen thus far.

“The game is about doing the things you’re asked to do,” Steverson said. “Get it done.”

“The quality of at-bats has been good,” manager Robin Ventura said. “They keep moving the line as far as quality after quality [at-bat]. The younger guys learn from that. You see what the guy in front of you and after you is doing. So there is

a nice little roll there of what guys are trying to do.”

Thursday’s win was paced by a second strong start from Mat Latos and another clean effort from the bullpen. Avisail Garcia hit a 424-foot solo home run against Ervin Santana, Jose Abreu drove in a run in the first, and Garcia doubled, went to third on J.B. Shuck’s bunt and scored on No. 9 hitter Tyler Saladino’s sacrifice fly.

“It’s been a new guy every day and we’re finding ways to win,” cleanup man Todd Frazier said. “Jerry (Sands) hit the home run [Wednesday in his only start of the season], Avi came up big with a couple big hits.”

Frazier went 0 for 4 and saw his average drop to .163, but he has six RBIs and hit a big three-run home run in Oakland, and Thursday he made a heady play in the sixth when the Twins had the tying run on second with no outs. On Joe Mauer’s roller near the bag, Frazier double-pumped toward first and caught Eddie Rosario in a rundown before Latos retired the next two Twins. Frazier ended the game with a diving stop to his right, throwing out Byung Ho Park at first.

SPORTS BRIEFS Rams grab No. 1 overall draft pick from Titans, likely to take QB

OXNARD, Calif. – The Rams are tired of waiting to get a franchise quarterback, and they want to make a splash in their return to Los Angeles.

So after waiting a day out of respect for Kobe Bryant, they went all in on one of the biggest trades in NFL draft history.

The Rams acquired the No. 1 overall pick from the Tennessee Titans, giving up six draft picks over the next two seasons in exchange for three choices.

General manager Les Snead and coach Jeff Fisher left little doubt the Rams will choose a quarterback with the top pick, hoping to end years of frustration at the most important position in football.

Los Angeles has held private workouts with California’s Jared Goff and North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz, generally considered the top two quarterback prospects in the field. Although Snead confirmed the Rams won’t reveal their pick

before draft night, the GM is clearly thrilled by the chance to add a potential franchise passer to an all-around solid roster lacking a centerpiece.

Donald, Grace share 1st-round lead at RBC Heritage with 5-under 66s

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Missing the Masters made Luke Donald’s blood boil. The former world No. 1 channeled that anger to shoot his best round since January, a 5-under-par 66 at the RBC Heritage that left the Englishman tied with Branden Grace for the first-round lead Thursday.

The two were a stroke ahead of four players, including the world’s current topranked player in Jason Day. Day caught Donald and Grace at the top heading to Harbour Town Golf Links’ closing, lighthouse hole. But he took an unplayable lie in a bunker when his ball bored into the sand and made his lone bogey to fall back.

12 BLACKHAWKS

Hawks expect more of same in series

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com

ST. LOUIS – It was tight, it was tense, it was fast and it was physical. It was typical Blackhawks-Blues hockey.

And if it was any indication, this firstround series is going to be as tough and as entertaining as the epic one two years ago.

“There’s not a big difference playing against St. Louis and playing Tampa in the Final,” Hawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said after the Blues pulled out a 1-0 victory in overtime Wednesday night in Game 1 of a firstround Western Conference playoff series. “It’s like a Stanley Cup Final right away. St. Louis is one of the best teams in the league. We’re up for a big task here to get back on the winning track.”

Blues captain David Backes scored at 9:04 of overtime, his shot banking in off Trevor van Riemsdyk’s skate to cap the thriller. It was a huge win for the Blues, who needed to take advantage of Duncan Keith’s absence. The Hawks will be back at full strength Friday night for Game 2, as a well-rested Keith returns from his six-game suspension.

And despite the loss, the Hawks held their own defensively without Keith.

Hjalmarsson said it was the best road game the Hawks have played in “a long, long time.” So nobody in the Hawks’ room was too down after the loss. They outshot the Blues, 35-18, holding them without a shot on goal for more than 23 minutes in the third period and overtime. Other than a brilliant 35-save effort by Blues goalie Brian Elliott and a 0-for-5 night on the power play, the Hawks couldn’t complain about much.

“I thought we played pretty well,” said van Riemsdyk, who called the game-winner a “tough break.”

It was the fifth straight season the Hawks went to overtime in their playoff opener.

“We know it’s only going to get tougher, so we know we have to raise our game the next one,” Hawks captain Jonathan Toews said. “But I think for the most part it’s an effort we can build on. We’re not going to overreact in any way.”

The Blues did what the Blues do, throwing their weight around early and often. Backes caught Patrick Kane with a couple of hits early, and Alex Pi-

The Hawks did what the Hawks do, trying to create time and space and scoring chances, but couldn’t solve Elliott, or capitalize on any of the five power plays the Blues handed them, including one seven seconds into overtime.

The Hawks had a chance to pounce on the Blues early, as three straight St. Louis penalties gave them more than five straight minutes of power-play

time, including 36 seconds of 5-on-3 play. But with Colton Parayko and the rest of the Blues blocking shots with reckless abandon, the Hawks couldn’t capitalize.

Each team had its chances in the second, too. Toews kept the puck on a 2-on-1 with Patrick Kane and was stopped by Elliott, then was denied on a breakaway a few shifts later. Marian Hossa had a spinning chance on the doorstep but couldn’t get it through Elliott, either. Jaden Schwartz had an open net to fire into, but couldn’t get the puck through traffic as the puck hit Toews’ skate and skittered harmlessly away.

Corey Crawford, a question mark entering the series after getting only one game in after a three-week recovery from a head injury, was sharp for the Hawks, making 17 saves.

The Hawks handled the hits. They kept their composure. They stifled the Blues’ offense. They did everything right.

They just couldn’t score.

“It was a great hockey game,” Crawford said. “We didn’t give them very many chances. It’s a tough way to lose.”
