The ins and outs of laundry tasks I make a point of making sure my white T-shirts are turned right side out when I take them off at the end of the day. Same goes for my socks.

It only makes sense. That way, you don’t have to pull them from inside out to right side out after washing and drying them, saving yourself precious seconds of work for each article of clothing.

Washing and drying clothes takes time – a perfect Saturday task because who has the energy after a weekday of work to wash and dry and sort a load of clothes? Not me.

But doing laundry is an OK job. You feel like you’ve accomplished something, knocking down the pile of clothes in the laundry baskets to nothing. Turning something dirty into something fresh and clean.

I don’t know how the wash machine does it. You put in a capful of detergent, fill the tub with clothes – not packing them in to get everything done in one load, although the temptation is there – set the temperature, turn the machine on, and close the lid.

Closing the lid is important because if you don’t, the machine will not drain the water before it goes on the spin cycle to wring the water out from your clothes. I’ve made that mistake more than once, but it’s been a long time since I’ve last done it. I always try to tell myself to check the lid before I turn off the light and head upstairs. It’s been working.

And I feel good about that. Small victories add up. You take them where you can get them.

Honestly, I don’t see how a capful of detergent and an approximately hourlong wash cycle cleans clothes. I don’t see how it gets the dirt and stains and sweat out. It’s an article of faith. And you accept it. By swishing them around in soapy water, the dirt breaks down and everything comes out clean, smelling like a rose – if that’s the type of detergent you use.

I have a vague recollection of what must have been the first residential wash machines that were in widespread use. It must have been the early 1960s, and Mom had one in the basement. From what I recall, it was an open-top model with an agitator in the middle, surrounded by clothes and filled with water.

When the washing was done, Mom ran the clothes through two sets of rollers to squeeze the water out.

I distinctly remember the rollers because Older Brother Dave got his fingers pinched in them. What he was thinking, I have no idea. It just didn’t make sense, and I was three years younger than he. I kept my hands to my sides, especially after that traumatic event. Oh, did he cry – because, of course, it hurt. These rollers were nothing to toy with. They were

VIEWS Dick Peterson squeezing water out of clothes, after all.

And that might be my earliest memory. I might have been all of 3 or 4 years old. And my earliest memory is washing clothes, watching my mom do it all, trying to stay out of the way of the rollers, which could grab your fingers and wring them but good. Not Alan Shepard, the first American in space in 1961. Or the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. Or the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963. But Mom washing clothes. And Dumb Dave getting his fingers caught in the wringer. Hmm. And here I am, 55 years later, wondering whether wash machines actually do what is advertised. You would think all these years would be proof enough. And it probably is, except for this niggling doubt about it all. But I put these doubts aside each time I do the laundry and accept for a fact that our clothes are clean. Doesn’t seem possible, but everyone in America is doing the same thing, and it works. So there.

I accept the fact that the clothes are clean, but what’s happening in the dryer? You put the wet clothes in the dryer drum, which tumbles the clothes under heat, and another approximately hour later, the clothes are fluffed dry. When it wasn’t raining and in the warm nonwinter months, Mom would hang the clothes out to dry on the wash line. I’ve never done that. From the washer to the dryer, that’s been my modus operandi all these years.

But what’s going on in the dryer that turns my T-shirts, and pillowcases and boxers, too, for that matter, inside out? Thankfully, socks, long-sleeve shirts and pants don’t have the same problem. But I pull a T-shirt out, and five times out of 10, it will be inside out.

Then, I have to waste untold seconds turning it right side out. Grr. I feel a small sense of victory each time a T-shirt comes out the right way and a defeat when it’s the other way around.

It’s a problem best left for theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking to figure out. I certainly can’t.

Teen pregnancy rate is less than half Illinois average

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com

A low rate of premature death, along with positive social and economic factors, helped McHenry County rank within the top 10 counties in Illinois in the annual county health rankings compiled by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin.

McHenry County ranked fourth – up from 13th last year – in health outcomes, which measures current length and quality of life. In the health factors rankings, which gauge how healthy a county will be in the future, the county ranked 10th.

The rankings are compiled by combining a number of county-level health measures using a scientifically informed formula. Some factors where McHenry County ranked particularly well included: • Fewer people were dying prematurely in McHenry County: 4,800 years of potential life before age 75 were lost in the county, far lower than the statewide average of 6,300.

• Ninety-five percent of county residents had access to exercise opportunities, compared with the 89 percent average in Illinois.

• Teenage pregnancy was less common, with 15 births per 1,000 females between the ages of 15 and 19. The statewide average was 33.

• High school graduation rates, the percentage of children in poverty, the percentage of children in single-parent households and the number of violent crimes all were well below the Illinois average.

McHenry County’s high rankings were in line with its location in the outer suburbs – Lake, Kane, DuPage, Will and Kendall counties were all in the top 20 for health outcomes – and its relatively high median income.

McHenry County had the fifth-highest median household income in the state based on census data from 2009 to 2013, and a recent study from the Health Inequality Project suggests that the health gap between rich and poor Americans widened between 2001 and 2014.

Economic factors are part of the research group’s formula, and researcher Kate Konkle said one of the annual rankings’ goals is to help people realize factors such as that have a big effect on health.

“Health is more than things that

we traditionally think about when we hear the word ‘health,’ such as access to care, diet and exercise,” Konkle said. “It is impacted significantly by things like income, education, housing and transportation.”

The rankings provide an overall view but don’t necessarily capture differences within the county. One of researchers’ major findings was that many rural areas have seen rises in premature death rates over the past

decade, and McHenry County was classified as suburban despite containing large rural areas.

Meaghan Haak, a health promotion coordinator for the McHenry County Department of Health, said officials do consider these type of statistics but make sure to tailor health campaigns

McHenry County school officials wary as funding reform bill advances

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com The latest bill to overhaul the way state funds are distributed to school districts cleared a legislative hurdle last week, but local school officials – whether they welcome the bill or not – are hesitant to put much stock into it until more details are released.

The Senate Executive Committee voted, 10-1, Wednesday, with six members voting “present,” to send the school funding reform bill to the full Senate.

Proposed by Sen. Andy Manar, the plan generally would change the existing formula to more heavily base funding on student need and the local ability to pay.

“We would replace today’s method with a weighted foundation level, which is tied to the characteristics of each school district,” Manar said during the committee session, adding that some of the characteristics include the percentage of low-income students, non-English speakers and special education students.

It is a variation of Senate Bill 16, which died in the Senate last January.

How this would affect each and every school district in Illinois has not yet

been released. Manar said he has requested those numbers from the Illinois State Board of Education, and a spokesperson from the ISBE said the process to gather that data is underway.

Included in the bill are provisions different from previous forms of it, such as a hold harmless piece that would protect losing districts for a year before the reform is phased in the next four years.

The bill’s movement came a day after the ISBE released funding projections under a General State Aid plan proposed by Gov. Bruce Rauner. The plan calls on the state to fully fund education to the foundation level – something that hasn’t happened in seven years – increasing education funding by $120 million.

Under Rauner’s plan, all McHenry County districts and Community Unit School District 300 would appear to benefit, but local officials were wary to take the numbers as fact without knowing which funds were rolled into the calculations.

Regarding Manar’s plan, Algonquin-based District 300 Superintendent Fred Heid said he thinks it’s a better approach than what currently exists. Still, he expressed frustration in the fact that there seems to be isolated conversations

about school funding, all under an umbrella of the state’s massive budget deficit.

“Funding should be weighted to help better support these students,” Heid said, adding that District 300 likely would benefit from this bill given its increasing number of low-income students. “But overall, here’s the problem: Our state is operating on a $6 billion deficit. So I think it’s great that we’re having good conversations, but no one is discussing revenue.”

In Fox River Grove School District 3 and Cary Community Consolidated School District 26, officials said their districts likely would come out on the losing end given district characteristics, but it was hard to speculate without concrete numbers from the ISBE. Woodstock Community School District 200 Superintendent Mike Moan said that under the past two funding reform bills, District 200 has come out neutral or a little ahead.

“But you have to take it all with a grain of salt,” he said. “When in the same week you get two different funding plans ... I think it’s hard to formulate that much of a reaction because it’s such a moving target.”

8 CRYSTAL LAKE Budget, Willow Creek Community Church plan on City Council’s agenda

Compare Our CD Rates Bank-issued, FDIC-insured 1-Year

If you go …

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Approving its 2017 budget and giving the go-ahead for a local megachurch to relocate to the former Oak Industries building are on the agenda for Tuesday’s city council meeting.

The 7:30 p.m. meeting will start with a public hearing followed by a vote to ratify the city budget for the new fiscal year starting May 1. The $95.5 million budget, which is 9.6 percent smaller than the current city spending plan, has a balanced operational budget but includes a number of capital projects totaling $20.8 million.

About $88.5 million in revenue is anticipated next fiscal year. Local sales taxes, state-shared revenues and the telecommunications tax make up more than two-thirds of the city’s revenues – Crystal Lake does not levy a property tax for its general fund expenses.

Besides holding the line on expenses and the end of several significant capital projects, the 2017 budget is

smaller because the current budget contained a “27th payroll,” a calendar oddity that occurs every 11 years when surplus days for biweekly employers add up to 27 pay periods instead of 26.

Council members also are expected to vote to approve a plan by Willow Creek Community Church of Crystal Lake to turn the former Oak Industries site at 100 S. Main St. into a permanent home.

Willow Creek’s plans, which sailed through the Planning and Zoning Commission earlier this month on a 5-0 vote, call for turning the 193,000-square-foot facility into a place of worship with a 2,000-seat auditorium, gathering spaces and classrooms, and turning the 25 acres it sits on into open space and nature trails, plus a splash pad.

“We consider each community individually because they are so different,” Haak said. “We try to look at the dynamics of each community going forward.”

While Haak said health officials were pleased to see the high rankings, they also know there is plenty of room for improvement. The county undergoes a health needs assessment as part of the MAPP (Mobilizing for Action through Partnership and Planning) program every five years to come up with priorities for its campaigns.

Haak said the department’s current goals include fighting obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which will include encouraging more-active lifestyles.

“I think we have the [exercise] opportunities in McHenry County, but we find people aren’t using them as much

as we used to,” Haak said. “We’re getting people to realize the opportunities they have, especially with the conservation district being in almost every community.”

The county also is part of a nationally rising trend of drug overdose deaths, which have increased 79 percent in the U.S. since 2002.

In researching data from overdose deaths, McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski said all parts of the county are equally affected and that economic factors seem to play a big role.

“A majority of people who die of drug overdose or suicide are not employed or underemployed and do not have adequate health care,” Majewski said.

In general, McHenry County ranked well in health care measures, with the percentage of uninsured people and the number of preventable hospital stays ranking better than the state average.

There is a lag time on much of the data – Konkle said numbers about unin-

sured people are from 2013, for instance – and Centegra Health System President and COO Jason Sciarro said he thinks statistics from recent years will be even better.

“We’re excited because we get better every day, every week, every year in the outcomes we provide,” Sciarro said.

“We would clearly expect these rankings to remain the same or get better in future years.”

Sciarro said the system tries to encourage patients and local residents to be proactive about their own health care needs. And while the county was below the state and national averages for physician-to-population ratio, he said he felt Centegra’s continued expansion means more doctors will choose to come to the area.

“We’re blessed and cursed by being in the suburbs of a major city,” Sciarro said. “We have the mechanisms, we have the infrastructure to recruit physicians to the area that maybe otherwise wouldn’t have come.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Community High School District 155 board is expected to see a $45,850 swimming pool rental proposal at the next regular board meeting after negotiations with Crystal Lake’s Sage YMCA of Metro Chicago, district officials said.

Sage YMCA Director Robyn Ostrem said negotiations with District 155 began last year after the district opted to use different facilities for swim practices. The proposal, expected to go before the board Tuesday, would be for 2016-17.

Negotiations got the fee of $50 per lane per hour for Sage’s new competition pool down 50 percent to $25 per lane per hour, said Jeremy Davis, District 155’s assistant superintendent of Finance, Operations and Technology.

Both boys and girls teams would practice and hold a total of five meets at the Sage YMCA, under the proposal.

The price tag is based on the use of seven of the eight lanes from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. The available times, which are non-peak periods at the YMCA, would mean students who want to make the full practices would have to miss ninth

up of female swimmers at the remaining three schools, has been bused for practices every day during their season.

The five meets all were held at Sage.

According to figures from the district, the total estimated swim cost this school year was $43,040, including meets, pool rentals and transportation to practices.

Davis acknowledged that the more recent proposal would mean paying a higher amount, adding the “appeal of the venue” was something the district’s swim community made known. “[Sage YMCA] is a nice facility, and the swim community seemed to want to end up there,” he said.

Sage has its own swim team, which Ostrem said includes some of the District 155 students during their school’s offseason.

“The really important thing is the YMCA is a community destination, and it’s important – if we have four high schools here that don’t have a pool – to try to work diligently to allow them to swim here,” she said.

The girls swim season begins Aug. 10, and the boys team will start Nov. 21.

The District 155 School Board will meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Village Board could vote on affordable senior housing project

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com

CARY – Two issues that have been discussed extensively by village officials in recent months will be entertained again at Tuesday’s Village Board meeting, as the PIRHL senior housing development and a mining extension for Meyer Material both will be on the agenda.

Village Administrator Chris Clark said there likely will be a vote on the PIRHL senior housing complex, which was first presented to the board in October and has been before both the zoning board and Village Board twice since.

David Burg of the developer presented new details of the plan at the board’s April 5 meeting, including a potential layout that included a senior community room. The 62-unit affordable housing development is proposed for the south corner of Three Oaks Road and Feinberg Drive.

The Village Board also is slated to discuss the Meyer Material extension request, which received a negative recommendation in February from the Board of Zoning, Planning and Appeals.

However, the board will not vote on the extension Tuesday but possibly May 3, Clark said.

Meyer Material is asking for a fouryear extension to its mining agreement that would allow it to continue activities on its site until 2020. The current agreement calls for mining to end June 1 and restoration to finish in 2018.

Clark said village and Meyer representatives have been in discussions and that the board ultimately might vote on a three-year extension.

Residents of nearby subdivisions have spoken against an extension at several recent meetings.

After private discussions with residents of the Fox Trails subdivision, Clark said, the village set aside $100,000 in its budget to make requested improvements to the neighborhood, including sidewalk improvements and tree replacements.

Trustees recently discussed a conceptual plan for a park that eventually could be built on that property, and Clark said Meyer appears to be willing to do some grading work that would create the park’s template as part of a possible extension.

ANTIOCH – Deputies from the McHenry County and Lake County sheriff’s offices were involved in a shooting that killed a man early Saturday morning in Antioch, an official said.

The man, 53-year-old Gerald Robert Boyes, brandished a handgun when officers were attempting to take him into custody, Assistant Commander of the Lake County Major Crime Task Force Thomas Nugent said. Officers shot Boyes, and he was pronounced dead at the scene, Nugent said.

Boyes’ last known address was in Jacksonville, Florida, Nugent said.

The incident happened about 12:15 a.m. in the parking lot of Topper’s restaurant, 26211 Route 173, Nugent said.

He said there were two deputies involved from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and two from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. “[Boyes] displayed a handgun, and they responded in a way that was consistent with their training,” Nugent said.

RICHMOND – A motorcycle crash sent a 62-year-old Arlington Heights man to the hospital with serious injuries Saturday, officials said.

Richmond Township Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Jim Prickett said they were dispatched about 1 p.m. to the area of 7203 Keystone Road near Richmond for the crash.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said the man was southbound Keystone Road when he went around a turn and maneuvered it incorrectly, causing him to leave the roadway and go into a southbound ditch.

The man was taken by Flight for Life to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville with serious injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, Knop said.

She said no one else was on the motorcycle, and no tickets were issued.

Wonder Lake Fire Protection District and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office also responded, Prickett said.

The road was closed for about 20 minutes, Prickett said.

RINGWOOD – A Ringwood garage fire caused about $130,000 in damage Saturday, a fire official said.

Wonder Lake Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Chris Weber said the department responded about 5:40 p.m. to 6817 Barnard Mill Road. The garage, which was about 10 feet away from a house, was in flames when crews arrived, Weber said.

The garage burned down, and a car inside was damaged, he said. The fire also spread to the attic of a guest house, which was attached to the main house by a corridor, Weber said.

The guest house is uninhabitable, Weber said, but the main house was not damaged. Everyone was evacuat-

ed from the houses by the time crews arrived, Weber said, and no one was injured.

He said the cause of the fire is undetermined and still under investigation.

A MABAS box alert also was issued, and upgraded, and Fire North Quad fire departments were called, according to Weber. He said other departments were called for more manpower, and for water because the area near the home did not have fire hydrants.

Weber said it took crews about 30 minutes to get the fire under control.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office also responded, Weber said.

Barnard Mill Road was closed for more than two hours between Stillwell Drive and School Road because of the fire, dispatchers said.

Democratic Party chooses candidates for several races Republican Party criticizes closed caucus

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com The Democratic Party of McHenry County chose candidates for two McHenry County Board districts, McHenry County recorder and McHenry County state’s attorney at a caucus Saturday.

The candidates will go on to face Republican challengers in the Nov. 8 election, if they collect the same number of signatures that would have been required for them to be added to the Democratic primary ballot, Michael Bissett said.

Another caucus will be held Sunday to determine one or more state legislative districts, said Bissett, chairman of the Democratic Party of McHenry County, and there may be more held after that.

Candidates were chosen by the party’s precinct committeemen in a private caucus held in Crystal Lake,

“It’s problematic because then a very small handful of people get to slate candidates, and they’re doing that without the public input.”

Sandra Salgado Republican Party of McHenry County chairwoman Bissett said.

Sandra Salgado, chairwoman of the Republican Party of McHenry County, criticized the Democratic Party for not making the caucus public.

In a statement issued Saturday, Kenneally noted Harrison’s shift in parties, and said: “Troubling questions of credibility, opportunism, and self-promotion aside, I look forward to continuing to make the case to McHenry County voters that I am the best and most qualified candidate for the job of McHenry County state’s attorney.”

house, including ourselves, and ‘big brother’ the Village Hall.”

French also said it’s never been proven that the two documents alleged to be stolen existed.

Drury and French were supposed to meet with attorneys to edit the ordinance but have not.

The changed locks were one of many issues raised at a question-and-answer session with Village Attorney David McArdle. Trustees are retaining attorney James Kelly, and the rift between the two parties has been ongoing for months.

When asked after the meeting what it would take to get the village government to function smoothly again, both Drury and French pointed to next year’s municipal election.

“I’m hoping to get three new trustees to replace the incumbent trustees, and maybe they’ll have a little more of an open mind,” Drury said.

“When I was running, I said we had a lot of people with good resources here in the village. It’s time we tap into it,” French said. “All we need is people that listen to one another.

There shouldn’t be one person thinking they control everything.”

HOLIDAY HILLS – Village President Dan Drury’s decision to change the locks at Village Hall last month has led to the latest rift between him and several village trustees.

Drury said he changed the locks because there have been security problems at Village Hall, including vandalism and at least two missing documents, and trustees have prevented him from installing security cameras.

Trustees had access with the last set of locks, but Drury, Treasurer Joe Landers and Clerk Gina Conover are the only ones who have the new keys.

Drury said he will change the locks back to allow trustees access if they pass an ordinance allowing security cameras to be installed.

“I don’t care that they have 24-hour access, but, if there’s hanky panky going on, it’s my job to protect it,” Drury said. “I’m not trying to punish them.

It’s not a vindictive thing like they’re trying to imply.”

At their last meeting Tuesday, Trustee Kathy Andrews said the board

feels Drury is blackmailing them.

Trustee Lou French asked Drury whether he is insinuating that a trustee is committing crimes, a charge Drury denied.

“The less people that have keys, the less suspects there are when there is a crime,” Drury said.

The argument over security cameras dates back to July, when the board approved the purchase of cameras.

Drury purchased cameras but returned them after the board later rescinded its approval, with trustees saying they wanted to pass an ordinance to regulate the viewing of security footage.

Village attorneys drafted an ordinance, and Drury asked the board to pass it Feb. 15, according to minutes.

French said he did not approve of the ordinance’s wording.

“We want the ordinance to state that nobody, including [Drury], can have access to viewing the footage without going through one of our police officers, and it would have to be at least three board members and the president,” French said. “We didn’t want anybody to be able to sit at their

Bill closing police, fire loophole clears House

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com A bill that would forbid retired public safety workers from working fulltime local government jobs while continuing to draw their pensions cleared the Illinois House.

House Bill 1334, filed by Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, would freeze pension payments to police officers and firefighters who work full-time for any other state or local government job that comes with a pension. Franks said it is unfair to ask taxpayers to shoulder two salaries.

The employee’s pension under the proposed law would continue once he or she leaves the post-retirement job.

“It’s insidious, and it’s an outrage.

Retirement means retirement, and that’s what my bill does,” Franks said.

The bill passed the House on a 105-2 vote on Thursday and is now in the Senate. It will take effect next year if signed into law.

Franks filed the bill in response to a number of instances over the years, some of them local, in which retiring

police officials were able to double-dip even as municipal and state governments struggle with ever-increasing pension liabilities.

Former Lake in the Hills Police Chief Jim Wales retired in 2004, but the village board created the civilian role of director of public safety for him, which allowed him to collect both a full-time salary and his police pension. Village leaders defended the combined income as a reward for Wales’ long and distinguished service.

Wales retired from the civilian position in 2014.

Former Barrington Police Chief Jeff Lawler retired in 2009, accepting a 6 percent salary boost as an incentive.

The village board subsequently hired Lawler as village manager – what’s more, Barrington subsequently joined a municipal lobbying coalition seeking pension reforms. Lawler made $147,212 as village administrator last year, and received a $109,108 police pension in 2013, according to records.

LOCAL BRIEF

Bar must surrender liquor license by end of April after violations

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com

MARENGO – After Harley D’z bar in Marengo violated the terms of its liquor license several times in the past few years, the business will have to surrender its license when it expires on April 30, according to city documents.

Although the liquor commissioner, Marengo Mayor Don Lockhart, originally ordered the business to have penalties including a 10-day license suspension and restricted hours, a settlement agreement was reached in October 2015 when Harley D’z offered to instead not renew its license, Marengo City Attorney Carlos Arevalo said.

The agreement also said Harley D’z was responsible for paying about $9,000 in prosecution costs for the case by Feb. 15, which it failed to do, documents show.

cording to the complaint, the officer found drug paraphernalia and a wallet with a package of cocaine, and arrested one man for possession of a controlled substance.

The report also said the business advertised free alcohol through its Facebook page and manager’s personal page, allowed someone to leave with an open Budweiser beer and was the scene of a bar fight where patrons were injured.

James Hess, the lawyer representing Harley D’z in this case, said the owners plan to lease the property to a new tenant after their license expires.

The potential new tenant has expressed a desire to apply for a liquor license, Hess said.

Arevalo said if Harley D’z leased the building, the lessee could apply for a liquor license for the establishment, as long as the lessee is not associated with Harley D’z.

This prompted an amendment to the agreement, finalized Monday, to set up a payment plan that ensures payments are made to the city through Harley D’z lawyer at Cowlin, Naughton and Curran, and establishes a lien on the property, Arevalo said.

“We’re eliminating Harley D’z and their owners as a middle man because our concern is they won’t pay it then,” Arevalo said.

The incidents that led to Lockhart’s initial penalties came from reports of illegal drug use and other liquor license violations at the establishment, 100 S. State St., Marengo, which were detailed in a complaint by Marengo Police Chief Joseph Hallman and Lockhart’s initial order.

In one January 2015 incident, a Marengo police officer conducted a bar check after receiving a tip of drug activity in the basement. Ac-

A snapshot of McHenry County history Photo provided by the McHenry County Historical Society

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com • Sunday, April 17, 2016

Harvard used to be a major rail hub for the Chicago & North Western Railroad, even boasting a roundhouse near Ayer Street.

This picture, shot in the 1950s, shows a steam engine, switching cars in the yard.

In the 1920s, managers of various Chicago railroads began recruiting Mexicans because they admired their work ethic and loyalty. Often, the managers would allow the workers and their families to live in old boxcars. Large boxcar communities thrived in West Chicago and Eola, near Aurora. As the C & NW expanded service north and west, many employees followed laying track and repairing rolling stock. The McHenry County Historical Society presents “The History of Mexican Railroad Boxcar Communities in the Chicago Area & Midwest” at 3 p.m. Monday at the museum, 6422 Main St. in Union.

Presenter Antonio Delgado highlights the important contributions these laborers made to the area with the use of photos, maps, political cartoon and other period images. A $10 donation is requested.

STATE Prisons chief: Rethink dealing with drug offenders The ASSOCIATED PRESS CARTERVILLE – The acting director of the Illinois Department of Corrections says Illinois needs to rethink how it handles drug offenders.

Acting agency Director John Baldwin spoke at the 13th annual Southern Illinois Drug Awareness Conference, held at John A. Logan College.

Baldwin said Thursday the increase in Illinois’ prison population over the past four decades is largely because of an increase in those behind bars for problems related to substance abuse.

Baldwin said there should be new policies and laws to turn that trend around, The Southern Illinoisan reported.

Proposal could mean Illinois drivers taxed by mile

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois drivers could be taxed by the mile under a new proposal that would involve the use of devices to track the distance motorists travel.

The proposal from state Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, is in response to declining fuel tax revenues, which are used to fix Illinois’ roads.

Cullerton said vehicles getting better mileage still wear on roads and there needs to be a better way for the state to collect taxes and fund repair work, the Daily Herald reported.

“If all the cars were electric, there would be no money for the roads,” Cullerton said.

Under the plan, drivers could choose one of two ways that a device monitors their mileage. Under one option, the device would specifically track where drivers go and not charge for travel on Illinois toll roads or outside the state. The other option would just track odometer readings.

Or, if drivers have privacy concerns, they could also opt to pay a 1.5-centper-mile tax on a base 30,000 miles traveled annually.

Cullerton said Illinois drivers would

Gov. Bruce Rauner has directed members of the State Commission on Criminal Justice and Sentencing Reform to come up with a plan to cut the prison population by one-quarter in a decade.

In January, the commission released 14 recommendations.

There already has been progress on some recommendations, said Baldwin, who was appointed by Rauner in August to lead the Department of Corrections.

That includes efforts between the department and Secretary of State’s Office to tackle challenges in making sure a state ID is possessed by all offenders when re-entering the community.

Baldwin said government-funded

receive a refund for costs of gasoline taxes. Those taxes would be paid as usual by drivers not registered in Illinois.

State Sen. Matt Murphy, R-Palatine, said the proposal would bring big change when a stalemate remains over the state budget. He said he understands what Cullerton intends and that it could be best to go through testing in a pilot program.

“This one will probably require a thorough vetting,” he said.

The proposal from Cullerton would establish a commission to determine some of the plan’s specifics.

Group: Don’t be fooled by fake Blackhawks tickets

CHICAGO – The Better Business Bureau is warning hockey fans not to be fooled by fake tickets and merchandise as Blackhawks fever ramps up.

In a Friday news release, Better Business Bureau president and CEO Steve Bernas said explosive fan enthusiasm for a team’s performance “ is exactly what scammers are looking for.”

He offers some tips to avoid buying fake playoff tickets or illegal merchandise.

Buyers should look for the official NHL hologram and license and buy items from a reputable ticket broker or retailer. Many of those businesses are accredited with the Better Business Bureau and are listed on its website.

They also recommend using a credit card if possible, so you can dispute the charges if necessary.

Back to blue jeans: School district scraps uniforms

GRANITE CITY – Students in the southern Illinois town of Granite City will no longer be required to wear uniforms to school.

According to the Belleville News-Democrat, the local school board recently reversed a policy requiring uniforms.

That policy was put in place in 2009 and called for khakis and collared shirts.

Starting this fall students will be able to wear a wider variety of clothes, including jeans and T-shirts.

Superintendent Jim Greenwald said the uniform policy was sometimes needlessly strict. Some students were disciplined for wearing sweat shirts over polos, for instance.

And Greenwald said uniforms did little to help curb discipline issues or the bullying it was aimed at addressing.

Greenwald stressed the school still has a dress code.

Granite City is about 10 miles north of St. Louis.

Woman shot by police in hostage standoff sues city

MARION – A woman who was shot by police after being taken hostage is suing the city of Marion and members of its police department and the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office.

The Southern Illinoisan reported that Samantha Holmes filed the lawsuit Monday over an April 28, 2015, incident at her apartment.

rections, with a goal of giving more services to offenders who are medium and high risk, and fewer to those at low risk of being seen again in the judicial system.

The way it is now is backward, Baldwin said, with more being spent on inmates thought to be at low risk of offending again.

Research shows those inmates do best with minimal system interaction, he said.

The commission’s next big focus will be sentencing reform, Baldwin said.

He encouraged those at the drug conference to write to task force members and ask lawmakers to back recommendations when they’re presented.

Holmes was shot in her right hip and buttocks during a four-hour standoff in which 27-year-old Joshua Green was shot and killed by police.

Her attorney said Holmes’ injuries required surgery and use of a colostomy bag.

The lawsuit accuses city and county officers of disregarding Holmes’ safety in violation of police procedures.

Attorney Joe Bleyer, who represents the city, said Friday that the police responded properly when Green pulled a gun. He called Holmes’ injury an “unfortunate accident.”

Chicago starts bid to offer digital training to residents

CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has launched a new initiative to provide digital training and access to technology to city residents.

The mayor’s office on Saturday announced the new Connect Chicago initiative.

Emanuel said in a written statement that the new program is intended to help strengthen the city’s economy.

The program will expand the Chicago Public Library’s CyberNavigator training and tutoring program from the current 48 library branches to almost all 80 branches.

Connect Chicago also plans to pay to double the size of the digital skills training programs now run by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation Chicago to train 1,000 people this year.

Powerful earthquake kills report on the state of the country Saturday, acknowledging at least 41 in Ecuador QUITO, Ecuador – A powerful, 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook Ecuador’s central coast on Saturday, killing at least 41 people and spreading panic hundreds of miles away as it collapsed homes and buckled a major overpass.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the shallow quake, the strongest in decades to hit Ecuador, was centered 16 miles south-southeast of Muisne, a sparsely populated area of fishing ports popular with tourists.

Vice President Jorge Glas said in a televised address that there were initial reports of 41 dead in the cities of Manta, Portoviejo and Guayaquil – all several hundred miles from where the quake struck shortly after nightfall. The death toll is likely to rise as reports from the worst-hit areas come in.

Among those killed was the driver of a car crushed by an overpass that buckled in Guayaquil, the country’s most populous city.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said hazardous tsunami waves are possible for some coasts.

the communist bureaucracy he oversees has failed to implement most of the hundreds of changes launched five years ago to stimulate the stagnant centrally controlled economy.

In a two-hour address to the twice-a-decade meeting of the Cuban Communist Party, Castro praised a new era of detente with the United States and an ensuing boom in tourism. He lamented that his government remained unable to address a series of deeper structural problems that have left millions of Cubans struggling to feed their families.

Some sleeping in cars after two nights of quakes kill 41 in Japan

By MARI YAMAGUCHI and YURI KAGEYAMA The Associated Press OZU, Japan – The wooden home barely withstood the first earthquake. An even stronger one the next night dealt what might have been the final blow – if not to the house, then to the Tanaka family’s peace of mind.

The Tanakas joined about 50 other residents of the southern Japanese town of Ozu who were planning to sleep in their cars at a public park Saturday after two nights of increasingly terrifying earthquakes that have killed 41 people and injured about 1,500, flattened houses and triggered major landslides.

“I don’t think we can go back there. Our life is in limbo,” said 62-year-old Yoshiaki Tanaka, as other evacuees served rice balls for dinner.

He, his wife and his 85-yearold mother fled their home after a magnitude-7.3 earthquake struck Saturday at 1:25 a.m., just 28 hours after a magnitude-6.5 quake hit the same area.

Army troops and other rescuers, using military helicopters to reach some stranded at a mountain resort, rushed Saturday to try to reach scores of trapped residents in hard-hit communities near Kumamoto, a city of 740,000 on the southwestern island of Kyushu.

Heavy rain started falling Saturday night, threatening to complicate the relief operation and set off more mudslides.

“Daytime today is the big test” for rescue efforts, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said early Saturday.

Landslides already had cut off roads and destroyed bridges, slowing down rescuers.

Nearly 200,000 homes were without electricity, Japanese media reported, and an estimated 400,000 households were without running water.

Kumamoto prefectural official Riho Tajima said that more than 200 houses and other buildings had been either destroyed or damaged, and that 91,000 people had evacuated from their homes.

Hundreds of people lined up for rations at distribution

points before nightfall, bracing for the rain and strong winds that were expected.

Local stores quickly ran out of stock and shuttered their doors, and people said they were worried about running out of food.

Police in Kumamoto Prefecture said at least 32 people had died from Saturday morning’s earthquake. Nine died in the quake on Thursday night.

More than half the deaths were in Mashiki, a town on the eastern border of Kumamoto city that was hit hardest by the first quake.

Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported that four people were missing in Minamiaso, a more rural area farther east of Kumamoto where the landslides were triggered by the second quake.

One landslide tore open a mountainside in Minamiaso from the top to a highway below. Another gnawed at a highway, above a smashed house that had fallen down a ravine.

In another part of the village, houses were hanging precariously at the edge of a huge hole cut open in the earth.

Rule targets prosecutors who don’t reveal innocence info

By MARTHA WAGGONER The Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. – As four men sat in prison for a murder they didn’t commit, records show that state investigators sent proof of their innocence to a North Carolina prosecutor, but he never revealed it to the convicted men.

He didn’t have to. Nothing in North Carolina’s legal standards requires a prosecutor to turn over evidence of innocence after a conviction.

The four, along with a fifth who also was convicted, were eventually cleared through the work of a commission that investigates innocence – but not until they’d served years in prison, including several years when a judge says the prosecutor and sheriff “did nothing to follow up on” another man’s confession.

Some people now are calling for change.

“If prosecutors have an ethical duty to avoid wrongful convictions, then they should have some sort of ethical duty to remedy wrongful convictions,”

said attorney Brad Bannon, of the North Carolina Bar’s ethics committee.

He wants North Carolina to adopt a rule recommended by the American Bar Association, requiring prosecutors to come forward if they find “new, credible and material evidence” that an innocent person is serving time. Thirteen states have adopted the post-conviction rule. North Carolina isn’t among them.

The State Bar rejected the rule several years ago but recently appointed a committee to reconsider.

Advocates call the Buncombe County case a prime example of why North Carolina needs the rule. The innocent men said the district attorney at the time, Ron Moore, could have helped but didn’t. Some of them had pleaded guilty to avoid the threat of the death penalty in a home invasion murder in 2000.

“There were so many things he could have done to make this right, and he continued not to do that,” one of the men, Larry Williams Jr., 32, said in an

Associated Press interview.

Another man confessed in 2003 and implicated an accomplice whose DNA was eventually found on masks and bandanas near the scene. A judge last year wrote that the sheriff’s office and district attorney “did nothing to follow

up on” the confession.

Two of the men were exonerated in 2011 through the work of the state’s Innocence Inquiry Commission. A judge, citing the commission’s work, declared two others innocent last year – along with a fifth co-defendant, sentenced in 2003, who served less time than the others – and the county agreed to pay the five a total of nearly $8 million.

The co-defendant sentenced in 2003 had been informed about the confession before he pleaded guilty, but the others, already convicted, were left out in the cold.

“There is no evidence in the file that any action was taken in regards to this confession other than providing it in discovery” to the one man, the commission wrote in its brief.

“It’s about as egregious a situation in post-conviction as I can imagine,” said attorney David Rudolf, who represented one of the men in a lawsuit. “I can’t imagine anything worse.”

Moore, who lost a primary bid for re-election in 2014, didn’t return messages from the AP.

Poll: Americans happy at home, upset with federal government

By TAMMY WEBBER and EMILY SWANSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – All that talk of an angry America?

An Associated Press-GfK poll finds most Americans are happy with their friends and family, feel good about their finances and are more or less content at work. It’s government, particularly the federal government, that’s making them see red.

Almost 8 in 10 Americans said they’re dissatisfied or angry with the way the federal government is working, while about the same proportion said they’re satisfied or enthusiastic about their personal lives. Republicans are far more likely to be angry – half of GOP voters, fo A P r l M ace us ic

compared with about one-quarter of Democrats or independents – and those Republicans are much more supportive of Donald Trump, the front-runner for the party’s presidential nomination.

Still, anger isn’t so much driven by political ideology as it is by an overall disdain for a political system that doesn’t seem to be working, voters said in follow-up interviews. They’re upset with both parties, as well as career politicians and Washington insiders who, those surveyed said, don’t put their constituents’ interests first.

“There are too many lobbyists and people who are not really working for the people anymore. They’re working to line their own pockets,” said 37-year-old Greg Boire of Belding, Michigan, who

works as a bank customer service representative and voted for Trump in that state’s Republican primary. “It happens on both sides. ... It’s just the whole government in general.”

John Santoro of San Jose, California, a 58-year-old market development manager for a company that makes semiconductor-related products, said he’s doing well financially but is angry about a lack of progress to lower the country’s debt.

He mostly blames President Barack Obama, but “politicians on both sides of the aisle are to blame because they just can’t get anything done. They just fundraise and get contributions from special interests.”

The poll showed that angry Republicans were much more likely than those

who are just dissatisfied to have a favorable view of Trump, by 62 percent to 42 percent. Fifty-eight percent of dissatisfied Republicans, but just 36 percent of angry ones, have an unfavorable opinion of Trump.

Both men said they do support Trump – to a point. They believe he could shake up Washington, but worry about his rhetoric and lack of campaign organization.

Boire said he’s impressed Trump is spending his own money and that what he says “is his opinion and not that of the lobbyists.” But Boire would be satisfied if the more politically experienced Texas Sen. Ted Cruz won the nomination because Trump “does not have the filter to shut off” negative comments.

Pope brings 12 Syrian refugees to Italy The Associated Press

AP photo

Pope Francis greets a group of Syrian refugees Saturday upon landing at Rome’s Ciampino airport. miles from the Turkish coast has seen hundreds of thousands of desperate people land on its beaches and rocks in the last year, fleeing war and poverty at home.

The pope visited Lesbos alongside the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians and the head of the Church of Greece. They came to give a united Christian message thanking the Greek people for welcoming migrants and highlighting the plight of refugees as the 28-nation EU implements a plan to deport them back to Turkey.

Francis insisted his gesture to bring

the 12 refugees to Italy was “purely humanitarian,” not political. But in comments on the flight home, he urged Europe to not only welcome refugees but better integrate them into society, so they are not left in ghettos where they can become prey to radicalization.

Many refugees wept at Francis’ feet as he and the two Orthodox leaders approached them at the Moria refugee detention center on Lesbos, where they greeted 250 people individually. Others chanted “Freedom! Freedom!” as they passed by.

Francis bent down as one young girl knelt at his feet, sobbing uncontrollably. The pope also blessed a man who wailed, “Thank you! Please Father, bless me!”

The Vatican said the three Syrian families, which including six children, who came to Rome will be supported by the Holy See and cared for initially by Italy’s Catholic Sant’Egidio Community. They were treated to a raucous welcome Saturday night in Rome, with drummers thumping, a crowd applauding and the three mothers receiving a single red rose.

“I thank you for what you have done,” Nour, a mother of a 2-year-old, said of the pope. “I hope this gesture has an effect on refugee policy.”

• Sunday, April 17, 2016

MORIA, Greece – In an extraordinary gesture both political and personal, Pope Francis brought 12 Syrian Muslims to Italy aboard his plane Saturday after an emotional visit to the Greek island of Lesbos, which has faced the brunt of Europe’s migration crisis.

Refugees on the overwhelmed island fell to their knees and wept at his presence. Some 3,000 migrants on Lesbos are facing possible deportation back to Turkey under a new deal with the European Union, and the uncertainty has caused heavy strains.

Francis decided only a week ago to bring the three refugee families to Italy after a Vatican official suggested it. He said he accepted the proposal “immediately” since it fit the spirit of his visit to Lesbos.

“It’s a drop of water in the sea. But after this drop, the sea will never be the same,” he said of his gesture, quoting one of Mother Teresa’s phrases.

During the five-hour trip, Francis implored European nations to respond to the migrant crisis on its shores “in a way that is worthy of our common humanity.” The Greek island just a few

OUR VIEW

No decision made on Fox Lake pension yet Illinois’ pension issues are well documented.

But in one case, it’s clear common sense needs to take hold.

The fate of the pension of disgraced Fox Lake police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz still is in the balance, and the law regarding the pension is murky.

His widow, Melodie Gliniewicz, recently filed for that pension despite facing several For the record felony charges of money laundering, If Melodie Gliniewicz is guilty, conspiracy and she doesn’t deserve any of misusing charitable her late husband’s pension of funds. between 50 percent and 75 The best move percent of his salary of about for the pension $96,000 each year. board now will be to wait and see what becomes of those criminal proceedings. If she’s guilty, she doesn’t deserve any of the between 50 percent and 75 percent of his estimated salary of $96,000 each year.

Illinois 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.

The issue here is that, when Joseph Gliniewicz committed suicide, he guaranteed he wouldn’t be prosecuted for his crimes.

Just because that technicality exists, however, isn’t a reason to award the pension. In this case, common sense should prevail.

Detectives determined Joseph Gliniewicz had spent years embezzling money from Fox Lake Police Explorer Post 300, paying for everything from coffee to restaurants to movies to an August 2014 trip to Hawaii that cost $5,683.

His wife is facing charges for her alleged involvement. A conviction potentially could send her to prison for as long as three to seven years.

Now is the time to allow that to play out. If she’s convicted, the pension ruling should be clear. If not, common sense should prevail.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Industries want unfettered access to public lands

To the Editor: The public lands Americans cherish are in danger. Google “Sagebrush Rebellion” and “Wise Use Agenda.” The Bundys are a symptom of it, but it’s the Koch brothers and the oil and gas, timber and mining industries that are the real threats.

They want unfettered access – ownership if possible. It’s why they’ve helped elect “wise users” to state legislatures in Utah and other western states, as well as Congress. It’s why the American Legislative Exchange Council is pushing bills to turn control of public lands over to states, i.e. “Utah Transfer of Public Lands Act.” It’s why Utah is launching a lawsuit to seize public lands. It’s why the American Petroleum Institute has a “Vote4energy” campaign. It’s why the Koch brothers have pledged $900 million to the 2016 election.

VIEWS Carolyn Schofield als who had the financial backing of agenda-driven millionaires. In my specific race, the winner was exclusively financed by a super- PAC that spent a half-million dollars to buy the seat.

Rather than running a campaign that highlighted his personal accomplishments, the race focused on attacking opponents through countless negative mailers and dirty, dishonest TV ads.

Why don’t good people run for office? Because no parent should have to console a child who comes home from school upset that everyone at school was talking about the negative attack commercial they saw on TV about Mrs. Schofield. No parent should have to race to the mailbox every day to make sure they grab the nasty campaign mailings before the kids see them.

Why don’t good people run for office? Because good people have

integrity that prevents them from slinging mud and fabricating lies about opponents – and this strength of character puts us at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to politics.

As a long-time public figure, I am used to public scrutiny. I believe as an elected official, the expectations are higher for behavior and conduct. However, I never imagined a run for state representative would have prompted opponents and their supporters to videotape me during meetings, FOIA my emails, blog lies and fabrications and produce negative attack ads in an attempt to neutralize my 15 years of positive community involvement.

Good people want to serve because they want to make a difference and effect positive change. But, unfortunately, people have become so fueled by hate and anger they no longer care about what a candidate has to offer.

Many voters are happy just to hear a candidate tell them what they should be afraid of and mad about, and who is to blame for the problems in their life.

I fear for our future if this mentality continues. Look where we are in

Illinois right now. We have no budget, our universities are at risk of closing their doors, and yet legislative sessions get canceled. We are not solving problems right now; we are creating them. With this negative mindset and large amounts of money buying seats, the people getting into office do not want to do what is right for their constituents. It is a game of power, control and personal agendas.

I encourage everyone to think of a few things next time you vote. Think of who you are, what type of person you want representing you, what example you want set for your children and what you want the future to look like. Research and know your candidates, and do not fall for negative ads and Internet attacks. Unless this type of campaigning is stopped, I can guarantee fewer and fewer good people will run for office.

Congress still wasting taxpayers’ money As the tax deadline approaches, it’s once again time to consider how the federal government wastes our money.

Remember the spending caps that were supposed to keep Congress from overspending? Gone with the wind.

How about the promise Republicans made about no more earmarks on spending bills? It disappeared almost as fast as a gold coin in a magician’s hands. Of course, they are not calling these new and improved earmarks. They call them something else, so they can claim they are keeping their promise. Is it any wonder this political season is characterized by voter anger?

Just in time for Tax Day comes the annual Pig Book 2016. For more than two decades, Citizens Against Government Waste, a nonprofit organization that, according to its website, advocates for “... the elimination of waste and inefficiency in government through lobbying and grassroots activities,” has published this useful guide, which illustrates just some of the ways our elected representatives waste the money we send them.

A few examples will set the tone, but you should read it all. It should embarrass every member of Congress who voted for this unnecessary and

VIEWS Cal Thomas wasteful stuff, but, unfortunately, they are beyond embarrassment.

Here are a few of the categories.

Defense: “$255,000,000 for two additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft for the Navy. The acquisition misadventures of the JSF program have been well-documented.

In development for nearly 15 years and four years behind schedule, the program is approximately $170 billion over budget and has encountered an abundance of persistent issues. An April 2015 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report noted that the lifetime operation and maintenance costs of the most expensive weapon system in history will total approximately $1 trillion.”

In February 2014, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics Frank Kendall referred to the purchase of the F-35 as “acquisition malpractice.”

Agriculture: “$3,000,000 for the Delta Regional Authority (DRA), which also received a $3 million earmark in the Agriculture Appropriations bill

in FYs 2014 and 2015. However, in FY 2016, the DRA received an additional earmark costing $10,064,000 in the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, for a combined total of $13,064,000, an increase of 335.5 percent over the past earmarks.”

“According to the Republican Study Committee’s FY 2016 budget, funding for the DRA should be terminated because such regional commissions are duplicative of other federal programs and support mostly local projects. Support for cutting DRA funds is bipartisan, as President Obama’s FY 2017 version of Cuts, Consolidations, and Savings recommended reducing the agency’s budget by $3 million annually.”

We’ll wait to see if that happens, but based on past experience, Congress doesn’t like to let go of money, even borrowed money.

Commerce, Justice Science: “Since FY 2002, members of Congress have directed 19 earmarks costing taxpayers $186 million for research facility construction at NIST in Alabama, Mississippi, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, South Carolina, Virginia, and Puerto Rico. These include two earmarks costing $60 million by Senate Commerce, Jus-

tice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Alabama), and four earmarks totaling $19.5 million by Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi) and Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi).”

“Sen. Cochran requested 709 earmarks costing taxpayers $1.9 billion between FYs 2008-2010, the three years in which members were required to identify their earmark requests. He requested both the highest number and dollar amount of earmarks in each of these years, making him the “King of Pork” for that period of time.”

Visit CAGW.org to read the rest.

There you will find many more examples of your hard-earned tax dollars not working.

Presidential candidates again are debating how high, or how low, the federal income tax should be. They have it backward. Voters should tell politicians how much of our money we will allow them to spend and on what. It’s our money, not theirs, and politicians ought to live within our means. But that would require asking less of government and more of ourselves.

As an elected official, I often am asked why more good people do not run for office. The answer is simple.

We no longer live in an era where experience, hard work and a commitment to public service matters. We now live in a time when representing a constituency takes a distant back seat to a candidate’s willingness to be blindly loyal to a select few. We no longer live in an era where elections are won and lost through honest debates of issues. Sadly, we live in a time where the candidates willing to engage in the dirtiest campaigns, one where facts don’t matter, emerge as the winners. Today, we live in a time when messages of hate and anger win elections.

This year’s primary election really highlighted this new and very unfortunate trend. The “whatever it takes to win the race” mindset leaves good people who truly want to serve their neighbors in the dust, where they must try to repair reputations built from decades of community service.

Across Illinois, good candidates fell this March to less-qualified individu-

County real estate market picking up Views Jim Haisler It’s that time of year when so many people are considering moving. Maybe it’s because spring has finally sprung and they don’t want to do their own backyard work.

Maybe it’s because they’re just bursting at the seams.

Whatever the reason, the spring real estate market is here.

This month, let’s address a few questions potential buyers might have. But before we do that, how is the market doing?

Overall, real estate in McHenry County is moving along. Some pockets are selling much better than others, as will always be the case.

For the most part, however, we’re beginning to see some higher-priced homes starting to sell.

For a while, nothing over $500,000 was selling at all, but in the past two years, every now and then a $1 million and up home has

transferred. Slightly more frequently, homes between $500,000 and $1 million are also selling, but are still dragging the market a little.

That being said, some areas, such as Huntley and Lakewood, have seen more activity in that price range, with some real estate agents even suggesting it is “hot” in those markets. By and large, however, it is the “up to $300,000” market that is doing well.

Back to today’s buyers questions:

What’s the best way to prepare to purchase a home? First, consult with

a reputable lender.

Today’s mortgage programs have lots of variables that they can best help you navigate. Because of variances in additional fees that may be charged, shopping the rate alone is not a true comparison. You need a complete analysis to determine which program might be better for you.

Additionally, there are fixed rate programs that many people find comforting, but variable rate mortgages are better for other people – especially if you know you might

be moving in a couple of years. Ask your real estate agent for the name of a lender to call.

Can I buy a home and sell my current one at the same time? Yes, most

likely. Most people who own homes will need to sell their current home before they are able to buy their new one.

Timing this can be tricky at best, but hiring a real estate agent will help ensure the timing works out even when things get rescheduled as they so frequently do.

How many homes should I see before making an offer? When I was

an agent, I would counsel my buyer clients that if I did my job right and the client was honest with me, the best homes for them would be seen very early on.

In fact, I found that frequently the home they bought was one of the first five I showed them.

That’s not to say that I wouldn’t show them other homes, but when the search data is accurate it will identify the best houses for them.

Typically, you know when you’ve found a home you like but also

know that rarely is any home perfect. If you can get 80 percent of your needs and a fair amount of your wants, you’re doing well.

What do you think the seller will accept as a fair price? There really

is no magic formula. Each home is priced differently – some more aggressively and others more conservatively.

Each home will have different features within it – some desirable and some not. Also what might be desirable to one person may be a turnoff to another: pools, for instance.

Some people tell their agent they only want homes with pools while some won’t look at any with them.

In ground or above ground makes a difference as well.

The best indicate of value is to have your agent provide you’re a comparative market analysis on the home you’re looking to purchase if it is a unique property.

How quickly can I close? Again, it depends.

Three major airlines begin restricting bargain one-way flights

By Justin Bachman Bloomberg News Airline executives hate few things more than super-cheap ticket prices, which they often dub “junk fares” and “trash fares.”

Yet the industry has been awash in these deals for more than a year, as Spirit Airlines Inc. and Frontier Airlines Inc. expanded aggressively, and Southwest Airlines Co. began flying nationwide from Dallas.

Some examples: $41 from Dallas to New York City; $34 from Las Vegas to San Francisco; $40 from Nashville to Orlando.

The bargains aren’t pricing mistakes, nor have they been hard for consumers to find on off-peak travel days such as Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The industry’s Big Three airlines – American Airlines Group Inc., Delta Air Lines Inc., and United Continental Holdings Inc. – have matched such fares to varying degrees.

This spring, the Big Three decided cheap no longer paid.

Instead, they began restricting the bargains: No longer are they

The airline industry’s Big Three companies – American Airlines Group Inc., Delta Air Lines Inc., and United Continental Holdings Inc. – have begun restricting bargain one-way flights. allowing ticketing engines to piece together these nonrefundable fares – typically the least expensive – when a trip involves several cities.

The multi-city pricing tweaks have

whacked mostly business travelers, who often hit several destinations on their work circuits.

These types of trips, when bundled together, could cost hundreds of

dollars more than they did before the airlines decided to drop the hammer.

Airlines “are trying to divide the world between business-and non-business flyers,” said George Ferguson, a Bloomberg Intelligence airline analyst. “The average Joe really won’t care if his firm loses an extra couple hundred bucks.”

For example, a May 9-13 trip priced Thursday on American from Los Angeles to San Francisco to Chicago and back to L.A. was $1,264.70, compared with $453 if all three flights were ticketed separately, according to FareCompare.com, a Dallas-based fare tracking firm. Of course, the expensive downside of trying to save money with separate tickets comes if you need to change your plans, which many business travelers often do: The Big Three assess a $200 change fee for each ticket.

These changes show the carriers’ effort to limit the reach of their lowest fares, which they’re using as a shield against further market share losses to Spirit and Frontier. Spokesmen for American and United said

Microsoft suit is latest clash with U.S. over privacy

By BRANDON BAILEY The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – As we live more of our lives online, the companies we trust with our digital secrets are increasingly clashing with authorities who want access to the messages, pictures, financial records and other data we accumulate in electronic form.

Microsoft opened a new front in the battle over digital privacy this week, suing the Justice Department over its use of court orders requiring the company to turn over customer files stored in its computer centers – often without notifying the customer involved.

It’s the latest in a series of legal challenges brought by Microsoft and some of its leading competitors. Apple recently fought a high-profile battle over the FBI’s demand for help unlocking an encrypted iPhone in San Bernardino, California, and it’s continuing to challenge similar demands in other cases.

Other companies, including Google, Facebook and Yahoo, have increased their use of encryption. They’ve also sued for the right to report how often authorities demand customer information under national security laws, after former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden leaked details of government data-gathering efforts.

Privacy advocates have applauded those moves, while authorities complain they could stymie legitimate investigations. But those legal maneuvers may benefit the companies as well as their customers. In the wake of Snowden’s revelations and high-profile hacking attacks, tech firms want to reassure customers their information is safe.

“Privacy is an economic good at this point,” said Jennifer Daskal, a former Justice Department attorney who now

So the companies are competing over being privacy protective.”

Many tech companies make money directly from customer information, of course, by selling advertising targeted to their users’ interests and behavior.

While some privacy advocates have criticized those practices, others note that’s different from handing over information to authorities who have the power to put people in jail.

In the latest case, Microsoft Corp. said the U.S. Justice Department is using a decades-old law to obtain court orders for customers’ data, while in some cases prohibiting the company from notifying the customer. Microsoft said those “non-disclosure” orders violate its constitutional right to free speech, as well as its customers’ protection against

unreasonable searches.

Microsoft is also fighting a court battle in New York over the government’s demand for emails of a non-U.S. citizen that the company has stored in a data center located in Ireland. Microsoft President Brad Smith has argued the case could open the door to other governments demanding information stored in the United States.

One former federal official was critical of Microsoft’s latest lawsuit. Daniel “D.J.” Rosenthal, a former Justice Department lawyer, said it could lead to warning “child molesters, domestic abusers, violent criminals and terrorists that they’re being investigated.”

But authorities are required to disclose most search warrants for information stored in filing cabinets, safes or other physical locations, as Microsoft notes in its lawsuit. With more people storing data online, the company con-

tends the government is exploiting that trend “as a means of expanding its power to conduct secret investigations.”

The company understands the need for secrecy in some cases, Smith added in a statement. “But based on the many secrecy orders we have received, we question whether these orders are grounded in specific facts that truly demand secrecy. To the contrary, it appears that the issuance of secrecy orders has become too routine.”

Microsoft’s business customers “regularly convey to us their strong desire to know when the government is obtaining their data,” Smith said, while adding that individual customers should have the same right.

The Redmond, Washington-based company said authorities used the 1986 law, known as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, to demand customer information more than 5,600 times in the last 18 months. In nearly half those cases, a court ordered the company to keep the demand secret and, in about 1,750 cases, those gag orders were indefinite.

In recent years, the tech industry and civil liberties groups have pressed Congress to reform several aspects of the law, which they say is outdated, but previous attempts have stalled.

Microsoft’s move was also praised

by Aaron Levie, the CEO of online data storage company Box. In a statement, Levie said his company has been expanding its encrypted storage services to “give customers more control over their data.”

Levie added: “We also fully support Microsoft’s effort to require more transparency in government data requests and the government’s full observance of the protections guaranteed by the First and Fourth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.”

AMC U-turns on texting in some theaters after backlash on social media

By RYAN NAKASHIMA The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Oops. The idea lasted about as long as a Snapchat text: the head of AMC Theatres mulled openly about creating texting-friendly movie theaters to appeal to smartphone-addicted youngsters.

Two days later, after a backlash on social media, the company said it’s leaving the idea on “the cutting room floor.”

Adam Aron, who became CEO of AMC Entertainment Holdings in December, told Variety magazine for a story Wednesday that the company would consider allowing cellphone

use in some theaters to appeal to millennials.

“When you tell a 22-year-old to ‘Turn off the phone, don’t ruin the movie,’ they hear ‘Please cut off your left arm above the elbow.’ You can’t tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cellphone. That’s not how they live their life,” he said.

That’s when the Twitter-verse unleashed a torrent of criticism on the plan.

“AMC Theaters want to allow texting in movie theaters. In other news, I’ll never go to AMC Theaters ever again,” tweeted Fox News reporter Jake Hamilton.

Blogger Perez Hilton tweeted the plan made sense “because every-

thing is the worst.”

Lucasfilm story executive Pablo Hidalgo mulled a day when he “brings enormous durian fruit to AMC theater; live-tweets and periscopes self eating it while movie plays.”

Before the spasmic social media outrage continued much longer, AMC released a statement from Aron early Friday saying he had “instantaneously” reversed his thinking.

“With your advice in hand, there will be NO TEXTING ALLOWED in any of the auditoriums at AMC Theatres. Not today, not tomorrow and not for the foreseeable future,” he said. “Unlike the many AMC advancements that you have applaud-

ed, we have heard loud and clear that this is a concept our audience does not want.”

Peace was restored to the movie-going galaxy.

“I love when rational thought wins out,” tweeted Holly Overton.

“Thanks @amctheaters for respecting moviegoers!” “yay! Amc is literally the only theater chain in my area, so I’m relieved,” tweeted Benjy Monteagudo.

And some had moved on to the next issue: the lengthy ads before a movie plays.

“OK guys we did it,” tweeted Brian Collins. “Now let’s yell at them for 3 days re: their 22 minute trailer/ concession ad before the movie.”

The Washington Post Facebook made some major news last week not only for what it announced during its annual developers conference, but also for its far-reaching vision of what’s coming down the line.

Alongside announcements about drones, bots and other plans to use its Messenger app to take over the world, Facebook also spent quite a bit of time talking about virtual reality. The company is the owner of Oculus – the VR firm with the most general recognition – and just released its first commercial VR headset, the Rift. The Rift is focused on gaming right now, but Facebook has been saying since it bought Oculus in 2014 that it has broader plans for making Oculus’s technology work for more general social interaction.

Oculus’ Yaser Sheikh, the head of research for Oculus’s Pittsburgh lab, reeled off quite a few possibilities of what VR social interaction could actually look like.

Sheikh laid out a world where users could play a poker game with friends over VR that is so sensitive that you can read their tells. He describes what it could mean to people who live far away from their families to be able to interact with them through a headset. And he said that eventually his team hopes to make VR social interaction “indistinguishable from real life.”

Of course, this will all take a lot of

AP photo

work. Right now, the commercial Rift doesn’t even represent your hands in VR, though that is poised to change before the year is out. But Sheikh also described research that would let users put their whole bodies in a virtual world and accurately map facial expressions.

The team is also trying to analyze real-world social interactions, to figure out how to let virtual interactions flow

as seamlessly as in-person meetings.

He also warned that all the visions he laid out in his portion of the keynote speech were far from ready for primetime.

A study released Wednesday by Greenlight VR predicted that it will take six to eight years for virtual reality to go fully mainstream. Given all the research that Sheikh said had to be com-

pleted to make social presence really work during the Facebook keynote, that sort of timeline could actually seem a little ambitious.

Then again, Facebook is clearly looking ahead for the long haul – these are the people, after all, who sent their chief executive onstage at a developers conference to lay out a decade’s worth of future plans.

AP Explains: Privacy wars pit tech firms vs. the feds

By BREE FOWLER The Associated Press NEW YORK – Companies such as Apple and Microsoft are pushing back against government surveillance in the courts, arguing federal authorities have gone too far in obtaining chats, emails and other private information from phones and online services.

The stakes for both sides continue to rise. More and more of daily life is moving into digital devices and online, putting individuals more at risk as messages, files and photos move to the cloud. But that information is also a treasure trove for criminal investigators.

Here’s what the battleground looks like right now.

Apple and FBI

Sparks flew for weeks over the FBI’s demand that Apple help it unlock an iPhone linked to the December San Bernardino attack that killed 14

people.

The FBI wanted Apple Inc. to create a software tool for bypassing a self-destruct feature on the phone. Apple insisted that doing so would weaken security for all iPhone users. But the government maintained that Apple was required to do so under the All Writs Act, which dates back to 1789.

The two sides appeared to be gearing up for a long court battle, but the government announced last month that an outside party had come forward with a way to crack the phone, effectively ending the case.

The underlying issue, however, remains unsettled. The FBI said that the method used to unlock the phone only works on the iPhone 5C. Several other pending federal cases involve newer versions of the iPhone.

Most notably, the Justice Department is still trying to force Apple to help it unlock an iPhone involved in a New York City drug case . The judge in that case ruled that the government

can’t use the All Writs Act to justify its request.

Microsoft’s court battles

Earlier last week, Microsoft filed suit against the Justice Department over its use of court orders requiring the company to turn over customer files stored in its computer centers.

Microsoft Corp. said the government is using a dated 1986 law to get court orders for customers’ data, while in some cases prohibiting the company from notifying the customer.

Microsoft says those “non-disclosure” orders violate its constitutional right to free speech, as well as its customers’ protection against unreasonable searches.

According to Microsoft, authorities used the Electronic Communications Privacy Act to demand customer information more than 5,600 times in the last 18 months. In nearly half those cases, the company was ordered by a court to keep the demand secret and,

in about 1,750 cases, those gag orders were indefinite.

Microsoft is also fighting the government’s demand for emails of a non-U.S. citizen that the company has stored in a data center located in Ireland. Company officials have argued the case could open the door to other governments demanding information stored in the U.S.

What other companies are doing

With no end in sight to these battles, other companies also are boosting security in hopes of assuring their customers that their information is safe from government snooping.

Google, Facebook and Yahoo have increased their use of encryption, which shields private information from prying eyes. They’ve also sued for the right to report how often authorities demand customer information under national security laws, after former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden leaked details of government data-gathering efforts.

Windows users: Uninstall Apple’s QuickTime now

By Andrea Peterson The Washington Post If your Windows PC still runs Apple’s QuickTime, it’s time to find another video player.

The Department of Homeland Security issued a warning that recommends removing QuickTime for Windows after cybersecurity firm Trend Micro reported finding two “critical vulnerabilities” in the program, which Apple will no longer be providing security updates for.

Software often still works after a company ends support, but users are left at risk because newly discovered security problems won’t be fixed. The warning only applies to the Windows version of QuickTime, so Mac users don’t need to worry about it.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but QuickTime for Windows has been on the decline for awhile. Apple never supported the program for Windows 8 or 10 – the two most recent flavors of Microsoft’s operating system – and its last security update was

• AIRLINES

Continued from page A34 travelers were assembling these bargain-basement fares for trips in ways the carriers had not intended. American spokesman Joshua Freed said the pricing changes affect only “a numerically small number of travelers” given that most itineraries are simple round-trips or one-way flights.

“This is not your sort of average mom-and-pop roundtrip from Chicago to Orlando and back,” he said.

United retreated somewhat last week and altered pricing rules to allow for more of its fare classes to be used on multi-city trips. “We’ve heard from our customers,” United spokesman Jonathan Guerin said. “We’re definitely listening to them.”

Delta has declined to discuss the issue, including with a JPMorgan Chase analyst, Jamie Baker, who asked executives Thursday whether the changes might potentially boost passenger revenues.

“High-quality industrial transports don’t duck and weave on this topic,” Baker said.

Beyond the ability to squeeze more dollars from corporate road warriors, the airline pricing changes also speak to the broader demise of fare rules in recent years, as the low-cost entrants disrupted traditional shibboleths: No longer is a Saturday-night stay mandated, a roundtrip is frequently more expensive than purchasing two one-ways, and a fare to

in January.

In a blog post Thursday, Trend Micro wrote that it had reported two major bugs in the software to Apple but that the tech giant didn’t fix them. The flaws could be exploited by a cybercriminal to attack computers when users visit a malicious website or open an unsafe file, according to the cybersecurity firm.

Trend Micro isn’t aware of any attacks currently leveraging the vulnerabilities, but it said that “the only way to protect your Windows systems from potential attacks against these or other vulnerabilities in Apple QuickTime now is to uninstall it.”

Although few Windows users probably still rely on QuickTime, the software issue highlights security challenges facing typical users: It can be hard to keep track of when software is so obsolete that it becomes a risk.

Apple has posted instructions for how to remove QuickTime for Windows on its site, but there does not appear to be any announcement about ending security updates for the program. fly tomorrow can be just as cheap as one bought three weeks before the travel.

The math of low fares is perhaps best illustrated at American, the world’s largest airline, and the one most vocal about defending its market share against the upstarts.

Spirit now serves 25 destinations from Dallas-Fort Worth International, American’s largest hub, and Frontier has expanded to overlap 11 percent of American’s domestic capacity, up from 1 percent before American merged with US Airways. American Airlines President Scott Kirby, for example, has said on several occasions that 87 percent of American’s customers have flown the airline only once in the past 12 months, a testament to travelers’ price sensitivity.

Spirit and Frontier also have led the Big Three to create new bare-bones fares modeled on Delta’s Basic Economy, which are priced lower but don’t allow for advance seat assignments, upgrades or changes. Delta said Thursday that these fares generated $20 million in revenue in the first quarter, and that they would expand to further markets. American and United are expected to introduce their own similar fares later this year. While that seems to make sense, the Big Three’s decision on multi-city fares has some scratching their heads.

“The airlines just really screwed this whole thing up,” said Brett Snyder, a former airline pricing analyst who first wrote about the multi-city fare changes March 31 on his blog. “They had a problem and they just didn’t think it through on how to solve it.”

• REAL ESTATE

Continued from page A34 Some sellers want to close quickly; others may ask for additional time to find their own home to purchase.

“Closing date” is often an overlooked important term in the offer.

Your real estate agent likely will ask the listing agent – and let them do the talking, it doesn’t help for you to try to intervene – about the seller’s desired closing time.

In some cases that might be more important than the actual dollar amount you offer.

Regardless, all unique situations aside, a typical closing period is 30 to 60 days. Cash buyers might be able to close faster, but there are still inspections, likely appraisals, attorney approval periods, time for title to be pulled and more. Expect 45 days on average.

How much money do I need to buy a house? There are lots of mortgage

programs available and lots of special programs available as well.

“First responders” such as police, fire and emergency have spe-

cial programs available to them as do military veterans as an example.

First-time home buyers, which only means you haven’t owned a home in a few years (programs vary), allow for limited down payments.

I can’t possibly keep up with all the programs from every lender or special-interest group, but know that 5 percent is often very possible, 10 percent is nearly always possible for anyone, while 20 percent down also gets you extra advantages.

Bad credit ratings will affect this however. Your credit score is incredibly important.

We couldn’t possible cover everything you want to know about buying a home here in one article.

The best thing to do is to contact a lender and real estate agent to get started.

Some people are natural problem solvers.

Others develop the skill over time.

Either way, there are several jobs that are perfect for this group of people, where day-to-day tasks involve tackling information and problems to devise solutions.

We filtered through data from the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a U.S. Department of Labor database that compiles detailed information on hundreds of jobs, to find jobs that place high importance on “making decisions and solving problems.”

We also checked out the average annual salary and projected percent change in employment from 2014 to 2024 for each job on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics website, BLS.gov.

O*NET judges how important “analyzing information and evaluating results to choose the best solution and solve problems” is in any job, assign-

ing each a score between one and 100.

Positions that involve more problem solving, like physician assistants and chief executive, rank higher – while jobs that don’t require much problem solving, like tour guide and waiter, rank lower.

Stepchildren engineer divorce to cut off elderly dad’s wife Dear Abby: I’m writing this as a warning – especially to older women who get married a second time to someone with adult children. Please keep your own money separate, if at all possible.

Throughout our long marriage, I trusted my second husband to do what he promised me and my relatives. He arranged very good financial care for me in the event of his death, and assured me I would want for nothing.

Unbeknownst to me until it was too late, my husband had left power of attorney to his money-hungry children, who proceeded to take advantage of his dementia and very old age. Tragically, they convinced my husband to divorce me. This brought me much heartbreak, shock and lack of trust after a happy, long marriage.

Because I am a strong person, I

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips have learned to cope and take care of myself. It wasn’t easy, and the process has been slow, but I’m succeeding. Along the way I have learned some painful but valuable lessons.

I would like my experience to help other women, especially older, traditional women like me who have spent most of their lives taking care of their husbands and are dependent on them to take responsible, proper and loving financial care of us. Thank you, Abby. – Moving Ahead Now Dear Moving Ahead: What was done to you is disgraceful, and I hope your letter will serve as a warning to other wives.

If your husband had shown you the

documents he had drawn up regarding his estate planning, and he and his lawyer had explained them all to you, this wouldn’t have happened. To me, the lesson here is “trust, but verify,” and I hope others will learn from your experience before it’s too late for them.

Dear Abby: I have encountered an “over-hugger.” I hug often, but respect how others feel about it. This person does not extend that courtesy. His typical hug involves picking the recipient up off the ground, which I think is his way of showing off. The last time I saw him I offered my hand. Instead, he yanked me in and said, “We give hugs here!” It felt invasive. I know he is trying to show love, but he puts his own desire before the needs of others.

I want to tell him not to hug me anymore. However, it’s complicated because we are part of a loose-knit athletic community, and people hug

left and right at our events. I hug a lot of people, but I’m polite about it. Not only would I likely have to declare “no hugs” to him in front of others, but it would become obvious we don’t hug.

Am I odd to not want him to hug me? Would I be wrong to just tell him I’d prefer a handshake? – Over-

Hugged In Texas Dear Over-Hugged: You’re not odd.

Even people who like to be hugged dislike being swept off their feet in the manner you have described.

It would not be wrong to take the person aside and tell him privately in the future, you would prefer he just give you a warm handshake instead of grabbing you.

Crystal Lake Central’s Frank Berg makes contact during Saturday’s game against Cary-Grove in Crystal Lake. The Tigers won, 6-5.

Tigers come prepared Stay loose, focused in FVC victory

CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake Central baseball coach Tom Mueller said he thought his team was mentally unprepared in its loss to Hampshire on Thursday.

The Tigers committed seven errors in a 6-4 defeat, on what Mueller called “seven mental mistakes.”

Saturday morning, he made sure his team knew exactly what needed to change.

“I think they were well-focused throughout the game, which is the exact opposite of what we were on Thursday at Hampshire,” Mueller said. “We were our own worst enemy in that game, so we have talked about that a lot.”

The Tigers scored five times in the last four innings Saturday and made several key defensive plays to beat Cary-Grove, 6-5, in a Fox Valley Conference victory at Crystal Lake Central High School.

In the top of the first inning, Tyler Pennington gave the Trojans (9-6, 3-2 FVC) a quick lead on an RBI triple. Pennington scored after Matt McCumber’s fielder’s choice groundout, while Mark Smith scored on a wild pitch in the top

Logan Mensching Crystal Lake Central, sr., OF

Playing in center field, Mensching saved two potential extra-base hits on running catches late in the game. He also went 2 for 3 with an RBI double, scoring two runs, the second of which turned out to be the game-winner.

q THE NUMBER The Tigers had only one error after committing seven in their last game.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

During the bottom half of the third inning, Tigers outfielder Fred Birr hit a foul ball into a bucket sitting in the Central dugout. After celebrating the odd play, the Tigers were warned for excessive noise-making. of the second to extend the lead to 3-0.

An inning later, the Tigers (6-6, 2-3 FVC) tied the score on a pair of RBI doubles by Logan Mensching and Luke Tevyaw. Fred Birr hit into a fielder’s choice to bring in Tevyaw to give the Tigers a 4-3 lead.

“I feel we have a positive attitude no matter what kind of situation we’re in,” said Tigers third baseman Frank Berg, who went 3 for 3 with two doubles. “No matter how many runs we’re down, no matter what it is, we come out and play

baseball. ... We never want to forget beating a team like [Cary-Grove].”

After allowing the Trojans to tie the score at 4 in the top of the fourth, with runners at second and third, starting pitcher Anthony Novy was able to induce a groundball to the right of shortstop Rich Hintz. Hintz charged and snagged the ball, beginning a 6-4-3, inning-ending double play to limit the offensive damage.

“We’ve been struggling lately, playing tense (defensively),” Tigers outfielder Mensching said. “But today, we came out loose. We just started relaxing, focusing. We made some plays and shifted the right way in the field.”

Mensching (2 for 3) made two key defensive plays in center, one of which was a running catch near the wall that left a surprised Pennington standing at second base. Mensching also scored the decisive run on a throwing error to first base in the fifth.

The Tigers added to their lead on Birr’s sacrifice fly in the same inning, but Dallas McDonough’s sacrifice fly brought the Trojans back to within one again in the sixth.

“When we come out and look to hit, we’re not too decisive,” Berg said. “We don’t want to sit there and be afraid to hit the ball, but when we come out aggressive, it shows what we can do.”

David Wolf picked up the win in relief, giving up only one run in three innings.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Huntley junior outfielder MIchael Ahmer was taken from the field just before game time in an ambulance. Ahmer suffered an allergic reaction to vitamins he had taken Saturday morning and was taken to Centegra Hospital in McHenry.

Red Raiders coach Andy Jakubowski said Ahmer was back at the high school when the team returned after the two games and was fine.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Prairie Ridge’s Jon Tieman looked on helplessly as his pop-up lofted into the air in shallow right field along the foul line.

The ball found a spot of grass, just foul, between Huntley first baseman Noah Konie and second baseman Trevor Ranallo. Tieman took full advantage of his bit of good fortune.

Four pitches later, Tieman doubled into right-center field. He then was bunted to third base and scored on Bryce Thelander’s sacrifice fly. The Wolves, silent for the previous four innings, tacked on another run and defeated Huntley, 4-2, in their Fox Valley Conference baseball game Saturday, winning for the seventh time in eight games.

“I just wanted to hit the ball through a hole, hit it in the air, anything to get [Tieman] in there,” Thelander said.

“Coach was telling us to look middle away, and [Huntley reliever Cameron

Reed] gave me a pitch to hit, and I put it in play.”

Thelander, a left-handed hitter, hit a line drive to the left-field side of second base. Center fielder Alec Coss hauled it in, but Tieman beat the throw home.

Robin Kim then ripped an RBI single up the middle for the final run.

“We were trying to manufacture runs, trying to get guys to second base,” Wolves coach Glen Pecoraro said. “We had some big hits late, which is what we needed. We were very fortunate at the end, that game could have gone either way.”

Prairie Ridge (12-5 overall, 3-1 FVC Fox Division) touched Huntley starter Adam Smylie for two runs on three hits in the first, but Smylie settled in and rolled through the next four innings with only one runner reaching second base until Tieman’s double.

“I was just looking to put a good spin on the ball,” Tieman said. “With two strikes, I was just looking to put the ball in play and had a nice piece, and ended up on second.”

Hunter Martin bunted Tieman to third off Reed, then Jacob Carpentier walked before Thelander drove in the winning run. Carpentier had an RBI single in the first, and Thelander drove in a run on a ground ball that inning.

Wolves starter Joey Hanley had a strong 51/3 innings with five strikeouts.

Ryan Schmit came in and threw one pitch to induce an inning-ending double play and get the win. Luke Annen closed with a perfect seventh inning.

Huntley (9-5, 3-2 FVC Valley) had a four-game winning streak stopped.

“Adam (Smylie) definitely gave us an opportunity to win, he kept us in the ballgame, threw up four zeroes and was rolling,” Red Raiders coach Andy Jakubowski said. “Situational-wise, we need to hit a little bit better. We hurt ourselves a few times, man on third, less than two outs, and vice versa, they get a man on third and they get the job done.”

Hanley struck out two batters in the third with a runner at third. He got a strikeout and ground out in the fourth with runners on second and third.

6 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS: BLACKHAWKS VS. BLUES (SERIES TIED, 1-1)

Blues’ fortitude tested once again Dissallowed goal could prove to be turning point

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com

The hallmark of the modern-era Blackhawks has been their mental toughness – their resilience, their unshakeable confidence that, no matter what happens, they’ll come out on top.

They’re arrogant without being delusional; cocky, but with cause.

In fact, the Hawks twice have been in the Blues’ skates, the victims of controversial calls in playoff games.

When Niklas Hjalmarsson’s apparent series-winning goal in Game 7 against Detroit in 2013 was waved off because of a brutal call well behind the play, the Hawks got angry, and then they got another series-winner from Brent Seabrook.

And when Jonathan Toews had a goal disallowed in Game 1 of the 2014 Western Conference final against Los Angeles, and the Kings responded with a game-tying goal moments later, the Hawks quickly stopped the bleeding, regained the momentum, and went on to win the game.

“In the playoffs, you have to have a short memory,” Hjalmarsson said.

“You have to be able to keep playing the same way. You can’t let those moments get you off track, and focus too much on the refs and stuff like that.”

Blackhawks right wing Andrew Shaw (center) reacts after scoring past Blues goaltender Brian Elliott during the third period of Game 2 of a first-round Western Conference playoff series Friday night in St. Louis. The Blackhawks won, 3-2, to even the series at a game apiece. Game 3 is at 2 p.m. Sunday at the United Center.

In Game 2 on Friday night, the Blues succumbed to human nature, and they lost the game and drastically changed the complexion of the series as a result.

In Vladimir Tarasenko’s first shift after his apparent go-ahead goal in the third period was overturned after an agonizingly long coach’s challenge, he took a foolish slashing penalty, chopping Andrew Shaw’s stick in half.

Shaw scored on the ensuing power play, the Blues challenged for goalie interference, and the goal stood, leading coach Ken Hitchcock to go on another of his patented spin sessions with reporters, claiming the Hawks get all the calls because they’re the defending

champions. It was a bad look.

The Blues are as deep, if not deeper, than the Hawks. They’ve closed the skill gap significantly since 2014.

They’re well-coached, fundamentally sound and might even be a more complete team than the Hawks.

But the mental gap between the two teams always has been as significant as any other.

It doesn’t matter whether you believe momentum is a real thing or not, because nearly every hockey player does. The Hawks, historically, have not been swayed by momentum shifts.

The Blues, historically, have. It’s why the Hawks have won 10 series in the

past three years, and the Blues have won none. It’s why the Hawks are 18-1 in Games 5 through 7 after a series has been tied 2-all, and why the Blues have lost three straight Game 5s on home ice when the series was tied 2-all.

“In the playoffs, it’s a lot about momentum,” Marian Hossa said. “We got a break, the new (challenge) rule finally worked out for us. We got a great challenge, and the game basically changed.”

The question now is whether the series changed, too. The Blues understandably were frustrated after the game, and that spilled over into Saturday’s workouts. Hitchcock said, “It’s a little quiet right now, and we need to build up some volume.”

But the Blues have insisted all year this team is different than past ones.

More experienced, more mature, better prepared for the mental and physical rigors of the postseason. And to their credit, there wasn’t a whole lot of whining coming out of the Blues dressing room.

“Everything kind of finds a way to balance out,” Paul Stastny said. “Everyone’s been there before. It’s not a young team here. We have experienced guys, and that’s what happens in a playoff series. There’s highs and lows. If you worry too much about it, those are the teams that will be unsuccessful.”

That team has been the Blues in past seasons. They need to prove it’s not anymore. They need to prove they’re not only the Hawks equal in terms of depth and talent, but in fortitude. Otherwise, well, with recent history as a guide, it’s not hard to predict what happens next.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Crawford quick to get back into playoff form Breaks Esposito’s team record for most playoff wins

By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com After missing 10 of the final 11 games of the regular season with a head injury, Corey Crawford is in playoff form.

Crawford, who has a history of rising to the challenge when the Hawks have needed him most in winning Stanley Cup championships in 2013 and

2015, was at it again in Game 2 against the Blues – stopping 30-of-31 shots until allowing a meaningless goal at the buzzer in the Hawks’ 3-2 victory that tied the first-round series at 1.

The victory gave Crawford a franchise record 46 playoff wins – breaking a tie with the great Tony Esposito. Corey Craword is 46-29 in 77 Crawford playoff games. Esposito was 45-53 in 99 playoff games.

“It’s amazing what he’s done,” teammate Marian Hossa said. “Tony Esposito is a big icon in Chicago and a legend. (It’s) huge for Corey. (After)

missing 31/2 weeks, seems like he didn’t miss a beat.”

In two games, Crawford has stopped 46-of-49 shots (.939) and has a 1.39 goals-against average. The only goal he allowed in Game 1 was a shot by David Backes that deflected off Trevor van Riemsdyk’s skate in overtime.

Tony Esposito “He’s been great in the first two games,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “Getting that game in Columbus (in the final regular-season game) really helped him. He looked sharp, quick, handled the puck well – exactly what you want.”

Like a machine: Duncan Keith didn’t miss a beat in his first game back after a six-game suspension. Keith had a goal and assist and was a plus-2 in 30:59 of ice time in Game 2, with nine shot attempts and four on goal.

“He was wired,” Quenneville said.

“Six games he sat out, he was chomping at the bit to get on the ice. He probably could have played more than that.

He’s a horse. He was fresh as he could be.”

Home-ice advantage: The Hawks are an NHL-best 44-15 (.746) at home in the playoffs under Quenneville – including 28-6 (.824) since 2013. The Blues are 3-10 (.231) on the road in four seasons under Ken Hitchcock.

10 RAYS 7, WHITE SOX 2

Rays halt Sox’s winning streak at 5

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

ST. PETERBURG, Fla. – On these nights when John Danks has one of those rough starts – and the White Sox left-hander had his second in as many outings Saturday – the Sox lineup is going to be asked to carry the freight.

It was asked in the Rays’ 7-2 win that halted a five-game winning streak and had no answer in the latest offensive performance that mirrored last season more than anyone associated with the team would care to mention.

But these are the facts: After averaging four runs a game in their first four games in Oakland, the Sox (8-3) have averaged three in the last seven. In six games, they’ve been held to three runs or less, with three, one and and two runs scored in their last three games.

That the Sox have lost only three times speaks to the remarkable performance by the pitching staff, which went into Saturday with a major league best 2.01 ERA. “We need to get something going,” manager Robin Ventura said. “You can’t sit there and expect these guys

Jimmy Rollins .216, Jose Abreu .237, Todd Frazier .178, Avisail Garcia .171, Austin Jackson .194. All are below career norms, and the sample size is small, so there is was no sense of doom in a clubhouse that was quiet for the first time since the Sox lost their home opener more than a week ago.

“The first thing we all said when we came in here was, ‘Wash it boys, keep playing the game the way we have and let the chips fall where they may,’ ” said right fielder and leadoff man Adam Eaton, who had two hits to raise his average to .366. “There’s no panic in here.”

After right-hander Erasmo Ramirez, making his first start after three relief appearances, held the Sox to three hits over 52/3 innings (including an infield single by Eaton and a AP photo Frazier pop-up that fell behind second White Sox starter John Danks delivers to a baseman Tim Beckham), Brett Lawrie Rays batter during the first inning Saturday cut the Rays lead to 4-2 in the seventh with a long homer against Steve Getz in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Sox lost, 7-2. that hit the C ring catwalk above the to shut people out or give up only one. upper deck.

The offense needs to pick these guys up But that was it for the Sox, who and get some runs going.” quickly fell behind 4-0 after four inThese are some of the batting av- nings as Danks gave up homers to erages in the Sunday paper box score: Brandon Guyer and Brad Miller.

Danks (five runs on six hits and three walks over 61/3 innings) said he threw better than in the home opener against the Indians when he gave up seven runs (five earned) in five innings.

“That’s something to build on,” a dejected Danks said. “But this league is about wins and losses. It’s disappointing.’’

Danks has lost his last five starts dating to the end of 2015, with a 6.91 ERA. His two outings are the only disappointing ones by Sox starters thus far. Chris Sale, Jose Quintana, Carlos Rodon and Mat Latos have all been excellent.

“Our pitching has stepped up,” Rodon said. “And if our pitching has lulls our hitting has to step up.

“Our hitting has a ton of potential.

The ceiling is extremely high. Sooner or later …. there’s no worry here at all.

Guys are going to come together and win the series [Sunday] and keep this thing going. We’ll continue to grind things out.”

Said Ventura: “We’re not going to win them all, but I like the way they fight. We’ll just keep going and come back tomorrow.”

WHITE SOX NOTES

Albers: ‘Sometimes I get a little excited out there’

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Matt Albers has moved up the chain in the White Sox bullpen, and with it, so have his displays of emotion.

Albers has chucked his gum, shouted into his glove and slapped himself upside the head after successful appearances, reactions that – along with his 25 consecutive scoreless appearances through Friday dating to last season -have endeared him to Sox fans.

There’s bad news, however, for those who enjoyed seeing the gum fly.

“I don’t know if that’s a thing I want to do,” Albers said Saturday. “In the last couple games, I didn’t do that, if you noticed. A buddy caught wind of it and made fun of me in a text. It’s not the greatest look. I might not bust that out too much any more.”

Albers’ streak, which had covered 281/3 scoreless innings, is the longest by a Sox reliever since Jesse Crain in 2013.

Manager Robin Ventura has trusted him in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings.

“I like it a lot, absolutely,” he said of

high-leveraged situations. “Pitching in games we’re winning, coming into big spots, it’s a lot more fun than pitching in that middle role just eating up innings.

Being part of the end of the line and helping the team win is a good feeling.”

It shows, right?

“I know a few games I’ve been pumped up after getting some big outs,” Albers said. “Just trying to have fun with it. We have a lot of guys making noise in the dugout this year. Beginning of the season, you kind of get pumped up early.

“Sometimes I get a little excited out there.”

Eaton right: Adam Eaton’s strong game in right field Friday played big in Chris Sale’s 1-0 complete game victory, and his transition to the corner from center field, where he played exclusively his first two seasons with the Sox, continues to appear seamless.

“He looks great,” Ventura said. “He’s done a great job of acclimating himself.

He gets a great jump on the ball when he’s on the corners. There’s probably a possibility of him playing a little left too at some point, but he’s been great in right field.”

Rollins’ workload: Jimmy Rollins started at shortstop for the ninth time in 11 games.

“He’s got a little spring in his step right now, and swinging the bat as well,” Ventura said of the 37-year-old.

Rollins doesn’t seem to need much maintenance to stay on the field.

“That part’s shocking,” Ventura said. “I’m used to guys that old walking around with bags of ice all over them.

He’s a younger version of the age he is.”

Early milestones: Before Saturday, the Sox’s 8-2 start matched the 1982, 1957, 1919, 1920 and 1917 clubs for the best 10game start in franchise history. Those teams all won their 11th games. ... The Sox’s 12 runs through their first eight road games through Friday was the lowest in franchise history and tied with the 1981 Oakland Athletics for the fewest by any team over the last 100 years, according to STATS LLC. Abreu’s guest: Popular Cuban comedian and TV star Luis Silva was a guest of Jose Abreu’s on the field before the game.

“Cuba has a population of 11 million, and 11 million people are Abreu fans in Cuba,” Silva said.

CUBS 6, ROCKIES 2

By DAVID JUST For the Chicago Sun-Times

pressive streak. Arrieta hasn’t allowed a run at Wrigley in 482/3 regular-season innings.

“I didn’t know that,” Arrieta said with a straight, almost robotic face.

“That is pretty good.”

The scoreless streak at Wrigley is the longest in the history of the Friendly Confines and the longest for any pitcher at his home ballpark since at least 1974.

Arrieta has won each of his three starts this year and improved his ERA

to 1.23.

“He’s calm,” Cubs skipper Joe Maddon said. “He’s very calm. He’s always very calm. I think that’s part of his success, too.”

It was clear from the start that the Rockies were in for a long day. Arrieta struck out the side in the first inning on 13 pitches.

Arrieta only found himself in trouble once, surrendering a leadoff double to Dustin Garneau in the third. Two groundouts and a strikeout ended the

threat.

Arrieta didn’t allow any other runners to reach third, and only one reached second during the rest of his start.

“Typical Jake,” Cubs catcher David Ross said. “Mixed pitches well and had everything working.”

What’s “typical” for Arrieta, however, is unprecedented for the Cubs. Arrieta owns a career 1.94 ERA at Wrigley Field, the lowest by a Cubs pitcher in the ballpark’s history. He’s also won 14 consecutive decisions, which is two behind Rick Sutcliffe’s franchise record set in 1985.

Arrieta got all the run support he needed from Anthony Rizzo and Jorge Soler, who hit back-to-back home runs on the first two pitches of the fourth inning. Dexter Fowler broke the game open with a three-run blast in the seventh.

The offensive blitz and Arrieta’s dominance helped wash the sour taste left by Friday’s four-error, four-hit loss.

The Cubs’ 9-2 start to the season is their best since starting 10-1 in 1969.

But that probably won’t make Arrieta feel any better about his eighth inning walk.

By DAVID JUST For the Chicago Sun-Times CHICAGO – Javier Baez made his first start of 2016 Saturday, one day after being activated from the 15-day disabled list.

Baez spelled Ben Zobrist at second base and will get two or three starts a week at various parts of the field, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.

Maddon wants to give Baez as much playing time as possible to develop his swing and his overall game – a challenge on a team that expects to contend and already is loaded with talent.

“He’s got a high-maintenance swing and he’s young,” Maddon said. “So he needs to continue to play and get at-bats.

That’s the difficult part of doing all this is to nurture him along and still be with the team right now that has a chance to do something special this year. You’ve got to somehow attempt to balance that.”

Saturday’s game featured a little bit of everything Cubs fans have come to know about Baez. He doubled hard to right field, struck out swinging twice, made two nice plays at second base –

and one bad one – and beat out a dribbler toward third for a single in his first at-bat.

Baez showed tremendous range by snaring a ground ball up the middle in the second inning, then turned and rushed a throw to first that never had a chance of becoming an out. He made amends by hustling out an infield single in the next half inning.

Baez made the play of the game on defense on Carlos Gonzalez’s hard grounder in the seventh. He made a diving stop and a clean throw to first for the first out of the inning.

“He definitely belongs here,” Maddon said. “He knows he belongs here.

We just need to get the appropriate number of reps out there so that he maintains all his skills.”

No losing streaks: The Cubs have yet to experience a losing streak in 2016.

After rebounding from Friday’s home loss to the Rockies with a victory Saturday, the Cubs are one of only four teams in the majors that haven’t lost consecutive games.

The White Sox, Royals and Nationals are the only other teams without back-

to-back losses this season.

“We’re going to be hard to contain for more than a game or two at a time,” said Jake Arrieta, Saturday’s winning pitcher. “We like our chances to stop skids pretty early.”

Szczur right at home: Maddon praised the play of outfielder Matt Szczur before giving the former Villanova star his second start of the season.

Szczur has appeared in nine games this season, typically as a defensive replacement, and picked up five hits in 13 at-bats. He singled, walked and scored Saturday.

Maddon said Szczur’s production is mostly because of his getting comfortable in the majors.

“What you’re seeing now is what he was doing in the minor leagues,” Maddon said. “I’ve talked about it before.

I think he’s finally getting comfortable here. If you watch him in batting practice, there’s more of a tension-free approach to his game. It’s not uptight.

That’s the difference.”

Szczur played 70 games at Triple-A Iowa last season, hitting .292 with 31 home runs.

• Sunday, April 17, 2016

CHICAGO – Jake Arrieta was pretty peeved about a walk he allowed in the eighth inning Saturday.

Even with a 6-0 lead late in the game, Arrieta wouldn’t give himself a break.

“We try to be robots even though we’re not,” Arrieta said afterward.

Are you sure about that, Jake?

No pitcher in Major League Baseball has been as automatic as Arrieta during the past calendar year. He seems practically incapable of committing “human error,” as a robot might say.

Arrieta, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, threw eight shutout innings Saturday in a 6-2 victory against the Rockies at Wrigley Field. He extended his franchise record quality start streak to 23 games, which is the longest streak in the majors since Bob Gibson’s 26 straight in 1968.

He struck out eight, walked just the one and gave up only five hits. Arrieta forced eight groundball outs and let only five balls out of the infield.

The right hander has been even more dominant at home during his im-

Cubs starter Jake Arrieta pitches to a Rockies batter during the first inning of Saturday’s game at Wrigley Field. Arrieta, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, threw eight shutout innings a 6-2 victory.

12 NBA PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

George scores 33 as Pacers beat Raptors The ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO – For Paul George, missing the playoffs after he was sidelined by injury most of last season was a painful experience.

Now healthy, he couldn’t be happier about being back in the postseason.

George scored 33 points, Monta Ellis had 15 and the Indiana Pacers beat the Toronto Raptors, 100-90, in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series Saturday.

George missed all but six games last season after breaking his right leg while playing in a scrimmage with Team USA before the 2014 World Cup. Without their star for much of the season, Indiana slumped to a 38-44 finish and missed the playoffs for the first time in five years.

“That hurt more than the actual break, not getting this team to the playoffs last year,” George said. “This means a lot, it means a lot to be back here, it means a lot to be on this stage again.”

Golden State 104, Houston 78: At Oakland, Calif., Stephen Curry dazzled from long range and drove to the hoop with fire and flair, scoring 24 points before tweaking his ankle as the Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets on Saturday in their playoff opener.

Draymond Green added 12 points and 10 rebounds as top-seeded Golden State carried momentum from setting

the all-time wins record Wednesday night with No. 73 into a testy playoff opener some 60 hours later.

The Warriors topped the Michael Jordan-led Bulls of 1995-96, then immediately made one thing clear: That mark will mean nothing if they don’t bring home back-to-back titles to the East Bay. James Harden scored 17 points for cold-shooting Houston, held to six field goals in the first quarter of the rematch from last year’s Western Conference finals, won by Golden State in five.

Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is

Monday night at Oracle Arena, and Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Curry is questionable for that one. He will be re-evaluated Sunday.

Atlanta 102, Boston 101: At Atlanta, when the Atlanta Hawks were staggered by another impressive Boston comeback, they put the ball in Jeff Teague’s hands.

Good move.

Teague scored 23 points and doled out 12 assists, making sure Atlanta maintained the home-court edge with a 102-101 victory in Game 1 Saturday night after the gritty Celtics rallied from a 19-point deficit.

Boston took what could be a major blow when Avery Bradley, its best perimeter defender, went down in the fourth quarter with an apparent right hamstring injury.

The injury really opened things up for Teague. The Celtics simply didn’t have anyone who could stay with the slick point guard, and they could face a daunting challenge if Bradley is out for an extended period.

Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Atlanta.

Oklahoma City 108, Dallas 70: At Oklahoma City, Russell Westbrook had 24 points and 11 assists, and Kevin Durant added 23 points to help the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night in Game 1 of their first-round Western Conference playoff series.

Serge Ibaka had 17 points and nine rebounds, and Enes Kanter added 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Thunder.

It was Oklahoma City’s largest victory margin in a playoff game since moving from Seattle before the 2008-09 season, and the lowest point total the franchise has allowed in a postseason game, in Seattle or Oklahoma City.

Dallas scored its fewest points ever in a playoff game, and its .298 fieldgoal percentage was the worst ever in a postseason game for a franchise that has existed since 1980.

Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 18 points.

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

Holtby shines as Mason’s mistake gives Capitals Game 2 win The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Washington’s Braden Holtby made 41 saves, Philadelphia’s Steve Mason gave up a goal from 101 feet away and Alex Ovechkin scored on the power play and the Capitals beat the Flyers, 4-1, in Game 2 Saturday night to take a 2-0 series lead.

Ovechkin’s 37th Stanley Cup playoff goal was as predictable as Jason Chimera’s goal from beyond the red line was unexpected. Mason whiffed at the puck on what turned out to be the game-winner.

The Flyers outshot the Capitals, 42-23, and dominated for much of the game, but came up empty as John Carlson scored his second power-play goal in as many games and Nicklas Backstrom added one at even strength late. Jake Voracek

scored the Flyers’ only goal.

The series shifts to Philadelphia for Game 3 on Monday night.

Mason did the splits to stop Carlson from point-blank range early in the second period and was slow to get up.

He remained in the game, but less than a minute later made the mistake that will be shown on bad-goal blooper reels for decades.

After Karl Alzner backhanded the puck from his goal line, Chimera tipped it from the Capitals’ side of the red line. It slid five-hole on Mason, who wrenched his head back in dismay.

New York 4, Pittsburgh 2: Keith Yandle and Derick Brassard scored 18 seconds apart in the second period and Henrik Lundqvist looked just fine dealing with an eye injury and New York stopped Pittsburgh to even

the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series at one game.

Mats Zuccarello and Chris Kreider also scored for the Rangers. J.T. Miller added three assists and New York handed Pittsburgh just its third loss in its past 18 games.

Lundqvist finished with 29 saves and showed no ill effects after getting accidentally slashed in the right eye by a teammate in Game 1, forcing him to leave after the first period.

Game 3 is Tuesday in New York.

Phil Kessel scored his first two playoff goals in three years, but the Penguins’ defense broke down in front of backup goaltender Jeff Zatkoff, who made 24 saves.

Dallas 2, Minnesota 1: Antoine Roussel scored from behind the net without the puck touching a stick and Jamie Benn had an unassisted goal and Dallas beat Minnesota for

a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference playoff series.

The Stars scored first on Roussel’s strange goal about 4 minutes into the second period, when the puck ricocheted off the skates of Ales Hemsky and Roussel without either getting a stick on it.

Benn scored on a breakaway that he ended with a backhand to make it 2-0 with 9:37 left in the game, and that was big since the Wild got their first goal of the series soon after that.

Marco Scandella scored on a power play, making a slap shot from well above the left circle with 7:18 left.

The first-round series shifts to Minnesota for Game 3 on Monday night.

Kari Lehtonen stopped 25 of 26 shots, including a last flurry by the Wild with an extra skater in the final seconds.

• Sunday, April 17, 2016

In an ideal world, Al Horford and David West would be wearing Bulls uniforms next season.

Horford would play alongside center Cristiano Felicio, and West would play warden in a locker room that needs a hardened veteran voice.

Kevin Durant? LeBron James?

Come on. They’re pipe dreams for an organization that has swung and missed on big-name free agents for years.

So let’s try to stay in a realistic lane for general manager Gar Forman and vice president of basketball operations John Paxson and give them Horford and West.

That means a starting unit of Felicio, Horford, Mike Dunleavy, Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose and a bench made up of West, Taj Gibson, Nikola Mirotic, Doug McDermott, E’Twaun Moore and a point guard to be named in the draft.

With that roster, they’re unlikely to be a threat in the Eastern Conference.

It sounds like another season of mediocrity with a second-round playoff exit as the best-case scenario.

That’s one path the Bulls could take. The other involves some years of ugliness if the front office pushes the red button on Operation Rebuild.

A path like that would involve moving Butler this summer to acquire assets, then shipping out Rose in the middle of next season.

Either way, Forman and Paxson have their hands full.

“It’s too early to say right now,” Paxson said Wednesday night when asked if the front office is looking at a complete rebuild this summer. “We haven’t determined that path yet.”

No matter which path they choose, a face-lift is coming.

Who goes?

NASCAR SPRINT CUP

JGR driver riding the momentum of consecutive weekend sweeps

By GARY B. GRAVES The Associated Press

Kyle Busch celebrates winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway on April 10 in Fort Worth, Texas.

Erik Jones on Saturday after starting fifth. A third straight Cup win remains possible for Busch, who achieved the feat last summer.

In 32 Cup races since he returned last May from injury, Busch has seven wins, 18 top-5s and 22 top-10s with 1,255 laps led.

That total includes six top-5s this season, a strong carry over from last year’s title run. The successful stretch has Busch grateful and reflective, especially because he missed last season’s first 11 races recovering from leg and foot injuries suffered in an Xfinity Se-

ries wreck at Daytona.

“Missing what I missed last year and being out of the race car as long as I was, I think I’ve certainly given fact to the matter that I love racing,” said Busch, who turns 31 on May 2.

“There were never very many thoughts that crossed my mind that I did not want to come back. This is what it’s all about for me. ... You want to win them all, but you know you’re going to lose a heck of a lot more than you win. We just have to stay consistent through what we’re doing right now.”

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Kyle Busch won’t get his third consecutive NASCAR weekend sweep, but he’s savoring his current success.

How long it continues depends on how the defending Sprint Cup Series champion beats back an impressive list of challengers at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Busch will start fifth Sunday in the 500-lap Cup race on the half-mile track, where he and brother Kurt have the most wins among active drivers with five each. He’s among four Joe Gibbs Racing drivers starting in the top five, with pole winner Carl Edwards alongside Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin fourth.

It’s not like starting position matters to Busch, who leads the Cup standings by six points over Jimmie Johnson.

“It doesn’t matter; long race, we’ll be fine,” Busch said after qualifying Friday.

Busch swept Martinsville and Texas to become the first driver to accomplish the feat since Harry Gant went back-to-back at Richmond and Dover in 1991. His four wins have come across NASCAR’s three national series.

He fell just short of getting the Xfinity Series victory needed in his quest for a three in a row, finishing second to

charges from JGR teammates, all of whom have Bristol Cup wins.

Edwards (three) earned his second straight pole Friday and ran seventh last week at Texas. Kenseth is the defending race winner and has earned two of his four Bristol victories in the past five Bristol events at the track.

Hamlin won here in August 2012 and has nine top-10s in 20 starts.

In spite of those impressive credentials, Edwards said Busch’s run creates a hurdle.

“The good part about Kyle’s success now is that I’m on his team so I can see what he’s doing,” he said, joking.

“I can talk to him about it, but I don’t know that there’s a specific thing you do. I just think sometimes its working and things go your way and you have to be fast, too.”

For his part Busch said he’s doing nothing different from any other part of his career. His No. 18 Toyota Camry has indeed been fast, and he suggested that circumstances might be falling his way a little more than usual.

Whatever the reason, Busch won’t question why things are clicking. His objective is riding the momentum as long as possible.

“I feel like we can go each and every week and have a legitimate chance to win,” he said, “which is probably the first time in my career that I’ve had that. So, it’s pretty good.”

Notre Dame quarterback Kizer DeShone passes during the Blue-Gold spring football game Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind.

NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL: BLUE-GOLD SPRING GAME

Kizer, Zaire locked in fight to be starter

By TOM COYNE The Associated Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – DeShone Kizer and Malik Zaire finished spring practice Saturday the same way they began, still trying to win the starting job in a competition coach Brian Kelly said might not have a clear winner.

“I think I’m going to have to make a judgment call,” Kelly said Saturday after the annual Blue-Gold spring game.

“I don’t know when I’ll make it. But there will be a time when I’m going to have to say, ‘That’s our quarterback.

Let’s go with him. We’re all in, and let’s move forward.’ They are both that good. I already know that.”

Kizer and Zaire both led their teams on touchdown drives. Kizer completed 10 of 17 passes for 113 yards, completing all four passes for 60 yards on the first touchdown drive. Zaire wasn’t quite as consistent, completing 6 of 15 passes for 120 yards, but he completed passes of 50 and 28 yards to set up his own 13-yard scoring run.

Kelly said the competition is the closest he has seen in his coaching career.

“These two guys can do the same kind of things and run the same offense,” he said.

Zaire was the starter when last season began, but broke his right ankle in the second game at Virginia and missed the rest of the season. Kizer rallied the Irish to victory in that game and improved throughout the season as the Irish finished 10-3 and ranked

No. 11. Kizer completed 211 of 335 passes for 2,884 yards with 21 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Zaire completed 26 of 40 passes for 428 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions.

Both said they are confident they are good enough to lead the Irish to their first national championship since 1988.

“I feel like I have a great grasp of our offense,” Kizer said. “I think I’m ripping the ball a little bit better than last year. There are some things I have to tweak over the next couple of months, but overall my confidence level is pretty high.”

Kelly said Zaire started the spring slightly behind Kizer because of the way the offense had developed last season, but said Zaire caught up.

Both said they know they have no choice but to accept whatever Kelly decides.

“That’s life,” Zaire said. “Not everything is going to happen perfect and not everything is going to be something that happens in your favor. I think the main goal is being the best player on the field so you can help the team to win a national championship.”

Kelly had said when spring practice began that Brandon Wimbush would be involved in the competition, but said Saturday he couldn’t give Wimbush enough opportunity to be competitive.

“Brandon’s doing everything that he’s been asked to do. He just doesn’t get enough work,” he said.

Earth Day advice to keep houses clean, green The Cleaning Authority in Cary is an environmentally responsible residential cleaning franchise committed to using eco-friendly cleaning products.

With Earth Day on April 22, the company offers the following tips to keep your home clean and the world a little more green:

• Clean your dishwasher with vinegar instead of highly concentrated chemicals; • Re-purpose plastic containers for other items (such as a diaper wipe holder for crayons); • Re-use coffee grounds as a household plant fertilizer;

• Keep laundry organized – create an organized space where your laundry can air dry to cut down on dryer energy but still keep the house looking nice; • Reuse grocery bags – avoid the clutter of dozens of plastic and paper bags and also stay environmentally friendly by keeping reusable grocery bags

EnvironmentTip Earth Day started modern environmental movement The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970 and is considered the birth of the modern environmental movement.

Before 1970, the health of the environment was not a com-

mon concern, even as industry poured chemicals and smoke into the air. In 1962, Rachel Carson, an ecologist from Pennsylvania, published a book called “Silent Spring.” The book became a best-seller and raised public awareness of environ-

mental concerns.

After the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. senator from Wisconsin, organized a nationwide demonstration against the pollution and the deterioration of the environment April 22, 1970.

About 20 million Americans joined the demonstration in support of a healthier and more sustainable treatment of the environment.

JOYCE WOLD Hometown: Huntley Latest Book: “Super Kids! Super Animals?”

Publisher: Tate Publishing Release date: November 2015

Where can we find your new book?

TatePublishing.com and Amazon.com What’s it about?

Twins Eva and Ethan speak to their dog, Penny, about spiritual truths. When Penny does something wrong, they correct her and tell her what’s right. By steering their pet to be a Super Animal, they confirm in their minds how to be Super Kids.

Where did the idea come from?

The idea came from my cute and funny grandkids and granddog, Penny.

Joyce Wold

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

It’s a Christian children’s book. I’m an avid Bible reader and 2 Peter 1:5-11 caught my attention for a story. I wanted to instill in kids faith in Jesus is the foundation, but we need to go on from there. We need to grow spiritually. Hopefully, “Super Kids!

Super Animals?” will give kids the help they need to do this.

Who is the intended audience?

The intended audience are kids, parents and grandparents ages 6-106.

Why is this story important to you?

The story is important to me because of its message – how to grow in the Christian faith.

How long did it take you to write? What was

Unique Ladies Clothing

your process?

Penny was spending the day with us, and she was being her cute self, running in circles around the house, chewing on her bone and jumping up to lick our noses. Yuck! After my husband and I took her for a walk, I sat down at my desk, took out a spiral notebook and wrote the story that brewed in my mind on our walk. Very simple. I let it sit for a few days and typed it. Then I revised, revised and revised again for the next few weeks. My husband read it and gave it the OK. Off it went to Tate Publishing.

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

I enjoyed writing the story from start to finish. The hardest part was the revision.

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

Tate Publishing is a traditional publisher, and they have published two other books of mine – “God’s Creations” and “Grayson Gorilla Learns to Grin” – of which they did an amazing job.

What is your education/background?

College graduate with psychology and teaching degrees. I have a diploma from The Institute of Children’s Literature and taught grammar school to grades K-8 for a number of years. I also am involved in church activities, such as teaching Sunday School to kids in kindergarten and first grade.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

I decided to write this book in order to give God the glory, and to give something of value to the child – sound character-building traits.

Who are your favorite authors?

Have a few favorite authors: J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, E.B. White, Margaret Wise Brown, Johanna Spyri, Dr. David Jeremiah and Dr. James MacDonald.

Handcrafted Jewelry

Accessories & Gifts

Have you written anything else?

In addition to those previously mentioned, “Sky High Victory” was self-published from Amazon.

Also, I am a freelance writer for children’s magazines.

What’s next for you?

I will continue writing books, stories and articles for children’s magazines. I sell my books and handcrafted sewn items at arts and crafts fairs

Amber’s Art Place opens larger location, plans open house NORTHWEST HERALD When Amber Larsen decided to move her business, Amber’s Art Place, out of Lakeside Legacy Arts Park, it was a difficult decision.

“It was awesome because you have a view of the lake and you’re in the mansion with other artists,” Larsen said. But she knew it was time. The 400-square-foot studio on the third floor was too small to fit all of her materials, causing her to move them back and forth between her studio and her home, and her high-energy, kid-friendly classes were bursting at the seams.

She opened her new studio at 9243 S. Route 31 in Lake in the Hills in December. The Art Studio Center, which she shares with another local artist, has given her more than 1,000 square feet to play with.

“I can set up for evening paint parties and still have my classes running during the day,” Larsen said. “I can breathe. It’s nice and bright, so it’s a really nice space.”

In addition to evening paint parties, she offers classes for adults, children, moms and tots, and after-school programs for ages 4 and older.

“You get the 4- and 5-year-olds together, and it’s just being creative and being playful and discovering things. ... They’re hilarious,” Larsen said.

In addition to Larsen’s regular schedule, instructors come in to offer workshops on sewing, anime, clay work, printmaking and fine art techniques.

They will be on hand during an open house to help introduce the

Attendees will practice art in the morning and the afternoon, with an adventure after lunchtime, which Larsen said may involve trips to visit her new neighbors, such as Rainbow Play Systems or Trinity Academy of Gymnastics.

Another unnoticed casualty of addiction, war This is a Eulogy for a guy I knew I’ll call “Denny.” Denny didn’t lose any limbs in Vietnam, but he lost a lot of other things. He lost friends.

He lost innocence. He lost his ability to sleep through the night without nightmares, and, among other things, he lost his patience with people who didn’t understand even though he knew they couldn’t understand.

He was moody, rough around the edges, and his wife of many years couldn’t take it anymore. His two daughters had stopped talking to him 10 years before. He was confused and bitter, and he had an alcohol and drug problem.

Denny had been quite a druggy before he left for Southeast Asia, but once he arrived, he developed a

prodigious heroin habit that followed him through his indescribably awful time in the infantry. He saw things no 22-year-old person should ever see and did some things that he never talked about, even later with guys in the group he went to at the VA. He came home a heroin addict with an attitude and an urgent need to forget.

After his tour was over and Denny had returned to the states, he found heroin at that time wasn’t easy to find. He decided alcohol, although in his mind an inferior substitute, would have to do. He put up with the unsupportive attitude of the time toward veterans by shutting everything inside and talking to no one.

He found once he stopped talking about bad feelings, he stopped talking about any feeling. The number of

touchy subjects began to increase, so Denny hardly spoke at all. He didn’t understand how he could have been doing what he thought was right and still feel so guilty and angry at the same time. He had a few friends at the VFW where he sometimes went to get drunk, but he mostly stayed at home.

His work life was spotty, mostly hard-scrabble day jobs until getting a CDL and driving a truck. That was how Denny found a way to reacquaint himself with heroin, which led to his first visit to the VA detox and rehab. Although the hospital was aware of his self-destructive ways and tried to help with his post-traumatic stress issues, he never really was open enough to try to get well, and as soon as he was discharged,

pitched the medications and went right back to heroin and booze. It took nearly 10 more years for Denny to get back to rehab, jobless, having lost his family and living alone in a rooming house with an assortment of other alcoholics and drug addicts.

This time, Denny was willing to try, but his medical issues caught up with him. His liver shut down, and he passed away by himself in a VA hospital bed, an unnoticed casualty of addiction and the Vietnam war.

Really?

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

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

So, if you’re 50 or older, get screened for colorectal cancer.

Screening really does save lives!

Health department celebrates 50th anniversary Philosopher Thomas Carlyle once said, “He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.”

McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) opened its doors for the first time in 1966. For half a century, the department has operated under its mission to improve the health and safety of McHenry County residents. This year will bring a celebration of 50 years of public health accomplishments in McHenry County. In recognition of this significant milestone, former employees are joining current staff at a reception to reminisce about the significant role the department has played in the lives of many McHenry County residents through the years.

Do you recall a moment when the health department touched your life? Email us at health@co.mchenry. il.us and add your reflections to ours.

Remembrances will be posted on our website, www.mcdh.info.

On July 30 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed legislation establishing the Medicare and Medicaid programs. An original goal of Medicare was the provision of funding to help elderly citizens in need of supportive care to stay in their homes.

Recognizing the need for this service, the McHenry County Board of Supervisors voted April 12, 1966, to establish the Board of Health and the Department of Health.

Accomplishing much in a short time, the first Board of Health, led

by Board President Dr. Edward Wilt, quickly secured office space at 209 S. Benton St. in Woodstock. The health department doors opened for service June 1, 1966, with two nurses and one secretary.

Since then, MCDH has not looked back. Seeing the need for environ-

Wilt, Eileen Hanson and Ed Buckley. mental health services, the Board of Health hired John Raber as the county’s first sanitarian in the winter of 1967. This was none too soon, as the 30 restaurants in the county at that time was rapidly increasing. In 1971, the county veterinarian, Dr. J.V. Johnson, joined the department, and the Animal Control and Adoption Division was formed. In 1995, a group of volunteer dentists, led by Dr. Joseph Hagenbruch, formed the McHenry County Dental Clinic. Now a division of McHenry County Department of Health, the dental clinic, serving low income county residents, was a natural fit.

In the early days, the focus was on providing home health care. As time passed and home health agencies became more plentiful, the department shifted its energies to other county public health needs. Since our beginning in 1966, we have grown from a

staff of three, and we have continued our mission of assessing the health and wellness needs of county residents and striving to fill those needs.

Times have changed since the

1960s. Many things we take for granted today were novel concepts half a century ago. In the words of Mike Hill, administrator for McHenry County Department of Health, “People have become smarter about their health over the past five decades, but we continue looking forward and exploring ways to strengthen and improve the health of county residents.”

From time to time throughout this 50th anniversary year, watch for articles in the Northwest Herald reflecting on our past accomplishments and present endeavors. Beginning this month, the department has launched a local radio show. Each month, you can tune in to WHRU, Huntley Community Radio, at 101.5 to hear updates and timely health and wellness information to use in your everyday life. You also can listen to archived copies of the show at www.mcdh.info by clicking on “McHenry Health, radio show.”

A missing page in history Sampler Lecture Series speaker to discuss Midwest’s Mexican railroad boxcar communities

“It’s one of the missing pages of American history that involves labor and most important industry in the entire Midwest: railroads. It involves family, culture and immigration; all of those things are very American.

People came out of it triumphantly, became part of the community and overcame all kinds of obstacles.”

By KURT BEGALKA editorial@nwherald.com UNION – The McHenry County Historical Society caps its 30th annual Sampler Lecture Series with a little known slice of railroading history.

In “The History of the Mexican Railroad Boxcar Communities in Chicago & the Midwest,” speaker Antonio Delgado will discuss the legacy of Mexican railroad workers recruited to this country at the turn of the century and into the 1950s. They laid track, maintained the rights-ofway and made repairs for the Chicago & North Western, Elgin, Joliet & Eastern, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroads in this area, as well as for lines farther west.

“It’s one of the missing pages of American history that involves labor and most important industry in the entire Midwest: railroads,” Delgado said. “It involves family, culture and immigration; all of those things are very American. People came out of it triumphantly, became part of the community and overcame all kinds of obstacles.”

The program, made possible by Illinois Humanities, begins at 3 p.m.

Monday at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, 6422 Main St. in Union. A $10 donation is requested, payable in advance or at the door. For information, call 815-923-2267 or visit www.gothistory.org.

“It’s a work in progress,” Delgado said of his seven-year journey to learn more about this multi-generational piece of our past. “My job is to put it in accurate, historical context.”

A 1912 edition of the Railway Age Gazette notes: “The Mexican is an interesting type of track laborer, and one with whom the average roadmaster or supervisor is unfamiliar. Five years ago, his activities in this country were confined to a limited area in the southwest adjacent to El Paso and the Mexican border. Within the past three or four years Mexicans have been in

such demand and have come into this country in such numbers that they are now the main source of supply for the roads west and south of Kansas City and are found in large numbers in Missouri, Iowa and Illinois.”

The number of these railroad track workers, or “traqueros,” ballooned after the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the first law implemented to prevent a specific ethnic group from immigrating to the United States.

“The Mexican possesses a number of characteristics which tend to make him a good track man, comparing him with other track men as we find them today,” wrote the Railway Age Gazette. “He often prefers section work to extra gang work, because he wishes to bring his family with him. … He is peaceable and quiet about the camp and causes little complaint from neighboring residents.

“The Mexican is very loyal to the foreman who commands his respect.

This was shown by the way the Mexican gangs worked during the unusually severe snow blockades on the Santa Fe and other western lines last winter. Although unaccustomed to cold and snow, they labored more faithfully than many native gangs in opening the lines, frequently remaining on duty more than 24 consecutive

hours in extremely severe weather.”

The demand for cheap, productive labor accelerated the need for housing. Boxcars filled the bill – replacing tent camps – with mobile homes that could be moved by rail and put on a siding for weeks or months until it was time to relocate.

“Boxcars were never designed for human habitation,” Delgado said.

Simple holes were cut for windows.

Wood stoves provided heat. But as family members joined workers and foremen got to know them, Mexicans began to add porches, gardens and other more personalized touches, including places of worship.

Immigrant railroad workers and their families lived on railroad property, often less than 20 feet from the tracks – a very dangerous proposition according to Jeffrey Marcos Garcílazo, author of “Traqueros: Mexican Railroad Workers in the United States, 1870-1930.”

“The centrality of the boxcar community to Mexican immigrant life in the United States is due largely to its proximity to the railroad yards. But the convenience of proximity and free rent took a terrible toll on the inhabitants,” Garcílazo wrote. “Accidents were a common occurrence.”

But despite the danger of being run

Lecture Series speaker over or struck by trains, the boxcar communities thrived. One was on the south side of Galesburg, another in West Chicago, and one near Aurora boasted 1,000 people by the late 1920s.

Mexican workers recycled parts from railroad cars and engines at a CB&Q plant in Eola until the facility closed in 1934.

At that point, many of the Mexican inhabitants dissembled the cars and used the lumber to build permanent homes in the area.

Delgado earned a doctorate in urban planning and public policy from the University of Illinois at Chicago, as well as a master’s degree in history from the University of Texas in Austin. He has been a Smithsonian Visiting Scholar and a guest speaker at numerous universities around the country.

The program not only underscores the important contributions these laborers made to the area – with the use of photos, maps, political cartoons and other period images – but it also reviews anti-immigrant practices and failed attempts by railroads to use Mexicans as strikebreakers. In 1918, for example, the Chicago & Alton Railroad raised wages for employees from 21 cents an hour to between 30 and 37 cents after would-be replacements learned the true nature of the dispute and refused to work.

“The Mexicans who came during that time had experience from the steel mills on the south side of Chicago,” Delgado said. “They had a strong heritage of being involved in union organizing.”

Author Paddy Calistro to discuss Edith Head’s lasting impact on the movie industry

By LINDSAY WEBER editorial@nwherald.com Good taste and a gift for the art of exaggeration can go a long way in Hollywood. A legendary costume designer, determined business woman and known prevaricator, Edith Head was a master of turning fabric into stars and instances into opportunities.

Author Paddy Calistro will be discussing Head’s reign as Hollywood’s costume queen April 21 as guest speaker for the Woodstock Fine Art’s Creative Living Series. Calistro penned the only official Edith Head autobiography, “Edith Head’s Hollywood.” Calistro intends to cover the Paddy Calistro book and how writing it changed her career. She also will talk about some of the parallels and how Head is still being talked about today.

“She was an extremely professional woman in Hollywood and was really one of the first execs. She rose to the top on some untruths,” Calistro said. “She got her first job by gathering sketches from her college classmates and submitting them as her own portfolio. She landed her first job as an assistant to the head of costume at Paramount and was there for 44 years.”

Head is well-recognized for her long-lasting career. She put many beautiful dresses and costumes on the screen, but there wasn’t a trademark “Edith Head Look.”

“If a dress doesn’t work in a screen test, she said she would just ‘throw a little fur on it and then it works’,” Calistro said. “She never wanted to distract from the star’s face, which helped ingratiate her with them.”

Calistro spent about two years researching for the book, pouring

over 13 hours of tapes Head recorded with reporter and columnist Norma Lee Browning as well as any magazine and newspaper interviews she could find. Calistro said she wrote the autobiography in two voices, Edith’s as well as her own.

“I used Edith’s voice which I quoted from the tapes and any newspaper and magazine articles that I found over the course of my research,” Calistro said. “If I found that she told an untruth, it was told in my voice.”

Calistro also had the opportunity to go into Head’s home and explore.

Calistro said it was quite an amazing experience.

“The house was a Mexican hacienda in style and design until you entered her bedroom. It was all French.

A complete contrast to the rest of the house,” Calistro said. “Everything was as she had left it when she had gone to the hospital. I went into this beautiful armoire, and inside were three wig heads with three sets of bangs on them. There was so much about her that was so much about the image of being a costume designer, and her stories were so embellished and everything about her was so faux, as Hollywood is, even her bangs. It was quite a moment.”

Head was nominated for an Academy Award a record 35 times; a feat that can’t be duplicated because the Academy used to have separate nomination categories for black and white and color films.

Head was dead set on making her name a legacy.

“She was very determined,” Calistro said. “She befriended celebrities and made herself indispensable to the studios and put her name on as many films as possible. She would do makeovers on the radio, which was not a common concept. She was the expert.

People weren’t looking at fashion magazines in those days, they were looking at Hollywood movies. She was her own little goddess of fashion.

It helped that she wasn’t very attractive so people could relate to her. She really used psychology.”

Calistro also is making a name for herself as co-founder of Angel City Press in Santa Monica, California, which publishes books that encompass the California state-of-mind.

“The California state-of-mind is a much freer and open state of mind.

Everyone thought everything had to be New York-centric,” Calistro said.

“Angel City Press specializes in books on the social and cultural history of LA and Southern California.”

Angel City Press recently released a new book about the years that Woodie Guthrie spent in LA and is readying to release another on the Los Angeles City Library.

Gayle Voss of Union gains recognition after opening grilled cheese restaurant in Chicago

By VALERIE KATZENSTEIN vkatzenstein@shawmedia.com On National Grilled Cheese Day on Tuesday, Gayle Voss was celebrating.

The Union resident has a permanent home for her restaurant, “Gayle’s Best Ever Grilled Cheese,” which opened just over two months ago in the pedway at Block 37 at 108 N. State St. in Chicago, and she has been recognized in a Salute to Outstanding Women in the Culinary Arts

by Cook County Gayle Voss Circuit Clerk Dorothy Brown and the clerk’s office women’s advisory committee.

“I have no idea how I was selected,” Voss said, noting her location by two L train stops brings an estimated 8,000 commuters by her restaurant every day, including many government workers among the regular business crowd who have grown fond of stopping in for a quick bite. “I suppose one of them must have nominated me. ... I was included with some incredible women.”

The patrons are a new type of clientele for Voss, who began selling cheese eight years ago to mostly families browsing Chicago farmers markets. A bookkeeper at the time, she made the move to sales rep and

market vendor when offered the opportunity by a former client, Brian J. Gerloff, DVM, Ph.D., one of the owners of Prairie Pure Cheese.

After a couple of years, she decided to start making grilled cheese sandwiches to sell at the markets using ingredients sold by fellow vendors – the bread from Bennison’s Bakery in Evanston, the butter from Nordic Creamery in Westby, Wisconsin. The cheese that has become her signature in the center of the sandwiches comes from the milk provided by the dairy farm of Todd and Brenda Aves in Belvidere, who also are partners in Prairie Pure Cheese.

As her business has grown, she has expanded her selection from The Classic – Prairie Pure Butterkase cheese on fresh baked white sourdough bread with fresh butter – to include more local toppings provided first by other farmers market vendors and then from restaurants who use Prairie Pure Cheese. When they contribute an ingredient, she names a grilled cheese after them. For example, The Duke – swiss cheese, ham and beer mustard – is named after the mustard made and provided by Duke’s Alehouse & Kitchen in Crystal Lake.

All of her sandwiches are locally sourced, and the menu can vary depending on what ingredients are available.

• CHEESE

Some options include fresh meat, such as applewood bacon, turkey or roast beef, breakfast favorites such as farm fresh eggs and maple syrup, produce such as spinach, honeycrisp apples and tomatoes, and a large variety of spreads, such as pestos, salsas, jams and marmalades. A specialty sandwich – The Sebastian – currently offered on Fridays, is made with her signature cheese and fresh lobster. And all of the ingredients are brought in from small businesses in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan.

Her passion for supporting local businesses doesn’t stop with her sandwiches.

She brings Smithwood BBQ thick-cut potato chips from Union, cookies from Chicago baker Cookie Yum and a selection of teas, coffees and sodas all made in Chicago. Even her business cards and menus are printed in Woodstock, and the shirts she gave away on National Grilled Cheese Day on Tuesday came from HyperStitch in Marengo.

“She’s doing so well,” said Voss’ mom, Shirley Osman of Huntley, adding that Voss has had a drive to help others since she was a former Union village clerk, though Voss said ultimately politics wasn’t for her.

“If I have an ability to help local farmers and small businesses grow and succeed, it’s worth it,” Voss said. “I like being the one who gives them that opportunity. ... I get that nurturing side from my parents.”

Shirley and Dave Osman proudly attended the award ceremony where Voss was recognized last month.

“I had to give a speech, and they were in the audience. ... Dad started welling up, and I started welling up, and I had to change my whole speech,” Voss said with a laugh. “They get so excited.”

Gone are the days of lugging panini presses to and from farmers markets across northern Illinois with the help of her husband, Randy, whom Voss calls “a dream” for being her support and sounding board through the years as well as helping behind the scenes, from hanging shelves to installing security cameras.

But despite having a permanent spot for her restaurant, Voss stays moving.

She will be able to use her kitchen in the Loop as a home base for attending three weekly Chicago farmers markets each summer, as well as for catering events such as graduations and weddings, where her grilled cheeses are a hit as late-night snacks for the guests.

She said she is able to use her twohour round trip commute from Union to Chicago each day to slow down, enjoy her coffee and look ahead to more possibilities – thinking up new sandwiches, new collaborations and new ways to celebrate National Grilled Cheese Day next year.

“I’m already planning,” she said.

Really?

Katie Couric, Co-Founder EIF’s National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance

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

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

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