Good morning, McHenry County ...

Driving lessons from Dad years ago Reader Adele Durkee of Oakwood Hills let me know my April 26 column on frustrations with driving in McHenry County inspired her to write a post to her Once a Little Girl blog about her dad’s wisdom from years ago about driving to church in Bull Valley after leaving home 15 minutes late. Here’s an excerpt: “ ‘Deli,’ he said. ‘How long will it take us to get to church if we drive 60 miles an hour?’ “I was a smart little cookie and even though all my pencils were at home, I could figure this one in my head. If we went 60 miles an hour, that’s the same as one mile every minute and we could drive the six miles to church in six minutes. ... “ ‘Okay, how long will it take us if we drive 30 miles an hour?’ “Oh man, I wish I had a pencil for this one. 30 miles an hour divided by 60 minutes in an hour is … hmm ... that’s the same as 3 divided by 6, on ac-

We’ll get there, at just about the same time, anyway you look at it.’ ... “See, Dan McCaleb, if you had a Dad like mine, you’d know that no matter how you nudged that slow-poke ahead of you on Bull Valley Road, you’re going to get to where you’re going in just about the same amount of time.” Thank you for sharing, Adele.

You have decided to take up drawing as a new hobby. What are some basic supplies you will need to get started? The first you will need are pencils. Drawing pencils come in a variety of grades which determines the softness of the pencil. Harder pencils are given grades from H to 9H with 9H being the hardest. Softer pencils are given grades from B to 9B with 9B being the softest. An HB pencil is right in the middle of the range between hardest and softest. The next item you will need in your toolkit are erasers. There are a wide variety of erasers available including vinyl and kneaded erasers. A vinyl eraser is a hard, white eraser which can

be used when you want to erase graphite or charcoal completely. A kneaded eraser is a soft, moldable gray eraser. This eraser can be used when you want to lift some graphite or charcoal off your paper without disturbing the whole drawing. Other useful tools for artists are clear rulers and plastic triangles. The rulers will help aid in drawing straight lines while the plastic triangle can be used as a guide to draw right angles. Paper is also an important supply for artists. You will want to have large quantities available and in various sizes. If you are looking for a place to purchase supplies, Reprographics features a large array of products and brands. Reprographics, a family owned business started in 1989, is the largest fine art supply store in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. For more information or to purchase art supplies, please visit Reprographics at 26 Crystal Lake Plaza in Crystal Lake, Illinois or call 814-477-1018. SM-CL0350576

McHENRY COUNTY

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

Mary McCann, R-Woodstock, spoke in the district’s defense, and told Kurtz she was concerned about her “tone” toward the conservation district board, which is appointed by the County Board. She criticized Kurtz’s idea that the district could cut back on its police force and work with other agencies. “For you to suggest that the municipalities would want to work with Mary them, when they’re under McCann some very serious budget constraints, I think is a little shortsighted,” McCann said. The district’s police department consists of 13 full-time employees: seven officers, four sergeants, a chief and an administrative assistant. The department accounts for more than $1.3 million of the district’s 2017 budget.

How they voted The McHenry County Board voted, 16-5, to approve the 2017 budget for the McHenry County Conservation District. Voting no were Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake; Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry; Jeff Thorsen, R-Crystal Lake; Diane Evertsen, R-Harvard; and Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove. Property taxes make up 83 percent of the district’s operating revenues – state law caps its maximum general fund tax rate to a tenth of a percent of the county’s total assessed value. The district accounts for about $172 of the property tax bill of the owner of a $200,000 home who takes the homestead exemption.

WOODSTOCK

City to mull home rule policy similar to Downers Grove If you go

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock City Council has agreed to put together a policy that would outline guidelines for the city when it becomes home rule. In Illinois, when a municipality reaches a population of 25,000, it automatically becomes home rule, and Woodstock expects to reach that mark after a special census is conducted. While advocates say home rule gives more power to the people who know the community best, the thought of a local body having more options to raise taxes without a referendum worries some residents and taxpayer advocacy groups. The discussion was brought before the Woodstock City Council at its meeting Tuesday after Woodstock resident Scott Gessert asked the city to consider a policy that home rule community Downers Grove has in place. The Downers Grove policy lays out recommendations for the village that include providing a notification period for new ordinances and taxes that can be added by home rule communities, and an advisory referendum component for a proposed new tax or tax increase or decrease ordinance, according to a city report. Two other home rule communities, of about 200 in Illinois, imposed a tax cap ordinance that

Under home rule, a municipality is not required to follow the PTELL law that limits how much a government can raise property taxes a year. Several council members said that while they would not have a problem with a policy that encourages transparency, or that holds the PTELL policy in place with an exception for emergen-

cies, it would not be beneficial to have an advisory referendum. “[Advisory referendums] are still expensive, they take time, and I just don’t think I see that as viable alternative, but I’m willing to listen on the other issues,” council member Mark Saladin said. Council member Mike Turner said an advisory referendum could slow down government. “We’re a representative democra-

cy,” Turner said. “You voted us in – you can vote us out. That’s the advisory referendum.” During public comment, Gessert brought up a concern about there being no debt limit for a home rule city, but thanked the city for considering a policy. “I don’t think it will handcuff you guys any more than just simply going through the process,” Gessert said. Sager and the council came to a consensus that at a future City Council meeting, the council would consider a policy in regard to notification, public hearings and limiting PTELL with an emergency provision. Joe Tirio, founder of Voters in Action and Republican candidate for McHenry County recorder, said the group still plans to canvass Woodstock neighborhoods at the end of the month to inform them of the special census and what being home rule means. The voter advocacy group also is hosting a home rule event at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Woodstock Public Library, 414 W. Judd St.

WOODSTOCK – The existence of a police force operated by the McHenry County Conservation District again proved to be a sticking point for some members of the County Board in charge of approving its budget. Board members voted Tuesday, 165, to approve the conservation district’s $27.1 million budget for fiscal 2017, which started April 1. But the minority who voted no took the opportunity to accuse the district of not doing enough to cut costs. Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, said she could not approve a budget that includes a police force, which she said she believes is not the best use of district funds. She voted last year to approve the district’s budget, but warned that she

would be looking for changes this year, such as looking to partner with sheriff’s and municipal law enforcement. “Your budget is, per your own report, getting smaller,” Kurtz said. “There are potentially limited funds, and as a result, you aren’t being creative.” While the district’s budget is larger than last year’s $25.3 million budget, the overall property tax levy is $67,780 less. Donna Kurtz As in previous years since housing values tumbled with the Great Recession, the district called this most recent spending plan a budget aimed at maintaining the district’s 25,000 acres and 33 sites open to the public. Two successful referendums in 2001 and 2007 allowed the district to more than double its protected land.

State’s attorney wants out of Chicago cop’s case By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Cook County’s embattled state’s attorney asked a judge Thursday to appoint a special prosecutor to take over the case against a white Chicago police officer she didn’t charge until more than a year after he shot a black teenager 16 times. In a motion that surprised civil rights attorneys who were set to continue their push to force Anita Alvarez off the case, her office filed a motion to have someone else prosecute officer Jason Van Dyke, who is charged with first-degree murder in the October 2014 killing of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. Alvarez was voted out of office under withering criticism of her handling of the case and is leaving office in December. She didn’t charge Van Dyke until hours before the court-ordered November 2015 release of the dashcam video. On Thursday, even as she was asking off the case, Alvarez continued to defend herself against allegations that her close political relationship with the police officers union created a conflict of interest and made her reluctant to pursue criminal cases against officers

Teachers union decides against taking strike vote

CHICAGO – The Chicago Teachers Union has decided against striking over the lack of a contract, for now. The union’s House of Delegates met Wednesday and did not take a vote on a strike or set a strike date. Union officials have indicated teachers could wait until fall to strike. Union Vice President Jesse Sharkey said there’s concern over losing health insurance and end-of-the-year paychecks. Chicago teachers have been working without a contract for nearly a year. An independent fact-finder declared last month the Chicago Public Schools’ most recent contract offer was fair. It would phase out a 7 percent pension benefit the district paid for teachers and include raises over four years. The union rejected the findings.

She explained her reason for asking off the case in a statement: “I believe that the results of the recent election and the impending transition of this office make this the best and most responsible decision.” If Cook County Circuit Judge Vin-

spending and compliance with rules and regulations. Early this year, a citizen group called the Edgar County Watchdogs, the Springfield-based newspaper Illinois Times and the watchdog Better Government Association reported seemingly exorbitant spending by the Mautino campaign, including $214,000 on gas and repairs at a single Spring Valley service station owned by a city alderman. And the campaign paid $274,000 to a local bank beginning in 1999, including $94,000 in repayments on a loan for $26,000.

GOP lawmakers want auditor spending answers

SPRINGFIELD – A group of Republican lawmakers attempted to turn up the election-year heat Thursday on the state’s chief fiscal monitor, demanding that Auditor General Frank Mautino answer questions about his campaign spending as a legislator. First-term Rep. Grant Wehrli of Naperville, who faces a Democratic challenger in November, said at a state Capitol news conference that he and 19 colleagues sought answers Thursday in their third recent letter to Mautino that read, “The people of Illinois are tired of the many corruption scandals they’ve had to endure in recent years.” Mautino was a Democratic deputy majority leader in the House for 24 years before the Legislature, controlled by Democrats, appointed him to a 10-year term last fall as auditor general. The Spring Valley politician replaced the retiring William Holland to examine state government

2 Illinois state parks reopen after donor pays electric bill

EFFINGHAM – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources said Ramsey Lake State Recreation Area and Horseshoe Lake State Park have reopened after a donor paid to turn the electricity back on. IDNR spokesman Chris Young said the parks reopened Wednesday after they were closed about two weeks ago because of the state budget impasse. Young said the electric company didn’t name the donor. Southwestern Electric

had been trying to force Alvarez’s removal from the case said they hoped that the judge would appoint an independent prosecutor who is not affiliated with Alvarez’ office or that of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. “There is, as a matter of reality, a close nexus in terms of personnel and in terms of nonaggressiveness in these matters between the state’s attorney and the (state) attorney general’s office,” said lawyer Locke Bowman, who represents a coalition trying to have Alvarez removed from the case. Madigan’s office didn’t immediately respond to a phone request for comment. The release of the dashcam video showing Van Dyke shooting McDonald over and over led to major protests and federal and local investigations of the police department. It also prompted Mayor Rahm Emanuel to fire the police superintendent, Garry McCarthy. Alvarez has defended her office’s handling of the case, which she has called very complicated, and her record in filing charges against police officers. But the timing of her announcement of charges – hours before the court-ordered release of the video – helped feed accusations of a cover-up by the department and Alvarez’s office.

Cooperative officials didn’t identify the donor, citing privacy concerns. The parks were closed because electric and trash services were terminated. Young said Ramsey Lake owed $1,765 in electric bills and Horseshoe Lake owed $829. Young said it wasn’t clear how long the parks would remain open.

Eagle hit by gunshot might fly again after surgery

URBANA – A bald eagle injured by a gunshot will undergo surgery that a University of Illinois veterinary intern said may restore its ability to fly. The year-old eagle was shot several months ago and found in southern Illinois. She was moved to the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital this week and is scheduled to have surgery on a broken bone in her wing on Thursday. Nicki Rosenhagen is a veterinary intern at the hospital. Rosenhagen told The News-Gazette in Champaign that if the surgery is successful the eagle might be able to fly and return to the wild. Rosenhagen said eagles can live to be 30 years old.

Senate Democrats field large roster of women By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – If 2016 has been the Year of Trump in politics, it may also end up being a new Year of the Woman, if Democrats get their way. And that won’t be a coincidence. Democrats aim to have female Senate candidates on the ballot in nine states in November, a near-record, and these contenders likely will be sharing the ticket with the first major-party female presidential nominee in history in Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump, whose commanding win in Indiana cemented his improbable status as the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee, is viewed unfavorably by 70 percent of women, according to Gallup. So as discomfited Republican Senate candidates released statements trying to change the topic or have it both ways Wednesday, Democrats made plans to link their largely male opponents to Trump, seeking to win back control of the Senate in November by electing Democratic women from coast to coast. “I’ll tell you as a professional woman, too many women have had to fight Donald Trump’s type of sexism and offensive rhetoric their entire lives,” said Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick of Arizona, who is challenging Republican Sen. John McCain and released an early ad in February tying the incumbent to Trump. “After 33 years in Washington, John McCain has changed, and Donald Trump proves that he has changed,” Kirkpatrick said in an interview, reflecting the Democratic approach in key Senate races across the country. “Because even after Trump’s sexist and offensive rhetoric, McCain has been really clear that he would still support

Trump.” Republicans have grappled for months with the impact a Trump candidacy would have on their efforts to protect their slim 54-46 seat Senate majority. Last fall, the executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Ward Baker, wrote a memo later leaked to The Washington Post that warned candidates to take lessons from Trump’s rise but steer clear of his incendiary stances. “Houston, we have a problem,” Baker wrote. “Donald Trump has said some wacky things about women. ... We do not want to re-engage the ‘war on women’ fight, so isolate Trump on this issue by offering a quick condemnation of it.” Indeed, for all of the controversies he’s stoked and every voter group he’s offended while appealing to enough white Republican men to emerge as the GOP nominee, women could be Trump’s biggest problem this fall, and the biggest problem for Senate Republicans. Women vote in higher numbers than men – in 2012, 10 million more women cast ballots than men

– and vote more heavily Democratic. This year, strategists in both parties expect those trends to be magnified given Trump’s unpopularity with women, Clinton’s historic candidacy (although she herself faces high negative ratings), and the large number of women running for Senate. On Wednesday, EMILY’s List, an influential political committee dedicated to electing women, targeted five GOP Senate candidates who face female opponents in November, demanding to know whether they would play the “woman’s card.” “Are we about to see him devalue his female opponent and launch character attacks on her in the same vein as Donald Trump?” asked the releases aimed at McCain, Rep. Joe Heck of Nevada, and Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Mark Kirk of Illinois and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. Already, a GOP-run anti-Trump political action committee aired an ad featuring women reading some of Trump’s negative comments about women, including “bimbo,” “dog” and “fat pig.”

BRIEF Wildfire in Alberta, Canada, reaches 210,035 acres in size

FORT MCMURRAY, Alberta – A massive wildfire raging in the Canadian province of Alberta grew to 210,035 acres, and officials said Thursday they would like to move south about 25,000 evacuees who previously had fled north, including 8,000 by air. More than 80,000 people have emptied Fort McMurray in the heart of Canada’s oil sands, authorities said. The Alberta government declared a province-wide fire ban in an effort to reduce the risk of more blazes in a province that is very hot and dry. “It is a very rare step,” Alberta Environment Minister Shannon Phillips said. Phillips called it an offense to ignore the ban and said it can lead to fines. The government said more than 1,100 firefighters, 145 helicopters, 138 pieces of heavy equipment and 22 air tankers were fighting a total of 49 wildfires, with seven considered out of control. Chad Morrison with AB Wildfire, manager of wildfire prevention, said the blaze grew rapidly, fueled by gusting winds, and he expected the fire to continue to grow because of dry conditions. – Wire report

gether and come to an agreement about what is best for the American people,” he said. Two days after the Indiana primary all but sealed Trump’s victory as the man who will lead their election ticket in November, he is appealing to big-money donors he blasted during the primaries as he takes his first steps toward raising the massive amounts of cash he’ll need for the general election campaign. That effort was hardly helped by the rejection – for now – by Ryan, the Wisconsin congressman who was Mitt Romney’s running mate in 2012. In addition, Romney and former President George W. Bush said they do not plan to attend the party’s national convention Paul Ryan in July. Trump is aiming to broaden his primary insurgency into a full-fledged general election campaign, reaching out to party heavyweights and trying to repair his sometimes-strained relationships with the Republican National Committee. Upbeat still, Trump said in a brief interview with The Associated Press that his message has made the GOP

“the hottest party around.” His campaign is trying to convert that energy into dollars. On Thursday, Trump named a finance chairman, Steven Mnuchin, a private investor with ties to New York and Hollywood. Mnuchin “brings unprecedented experience and expertise” to the fundraising operation, the campaign said. And Trump is taking pains to reassure party leaders that he wants to help Republican Senate and House candidates, some of whom are openly worried that Trump at the top of the GOP ticket will be a drag on their own campaigns. Earlier this week, Trump’s final GOP foes, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, dropped out, clearing his path. Still, many party leaders, including Ryan, Bush and Romney, are keeping Trump at arm’s length. Their reluctance to embrace him sends an unmistakable signal to their fundraising networks, which include most of the GOP’s best-connected donors. “You might have a lot of these donors sit on the sidelines,” said Spencer Zwick, who led Romney’s fundraising efforts and now serves as Ryan’s national finance chairman.

RAMADI, Iraq – This is what victory looks like in the Iraqi city of Ramadi: In the once thriving Haji Ziad Square, not a single structure still stands. Turning in every direction yields a picture of devastation. A building that housed a pool hall and ice cream shops – reduced to rubble. A row of money changers and motorcycle repair garages – obliterated, a giant bomb crater in its place. The square’s Haji Ziad Restaurant, beloved for years by Ramadi residents for its grilled meats – flattened. The restaurant was so popular its owner built a larger, fancier branch across the street three years ago. That, too, is now a pile of concrete and twisted iron rods. The destruction extends to nearly every part of Ramadi, once home to 1 million people and now virtually empty. A giant highway cloverleaf at the main entrance to the city is partially toppled. Apartment block after apartment block has been crushed. Along a residential street, the walls of homes have been shredded away, exposing furniture and bedding. Graffiti on the few homes still standing warn of explosives inside. When Iraqi government forces backed by U.S.-led warplanes wrested

painted and decorated with brightly colored plastic flowers. Vehicles pick their way around craters blocking roads as the dust from thousands of crushed buildings drifts over the landscape. Along one street, the only sign that houses ever existed there is a line of garden gates and clusters of fruit trees. The wreckage was caused by IS-laid explosives and hundreds of airstrikes by the Iraqi military and the U.S.-led coalition. Besides the fighting itself, the Islamic State group increasingly is using a scorched earth strategy as it loses ground in Iraq. When IS fighters withdraw, they leave an empty prize, blowing up buildings and wiring thousands of others with explosives. The bombs are so costly and time-consuming to defuse that much of recently liberated Iraq is now unlivable. “All they leave is rubble,” said Maj. Mohammed Hussein, whose counterterrorism battalion was one of the first to move into Ramadi. “You can’t do anything with rubble.” As a result, U.S.-led coalition and Iraqi officials are rethinking their tactics as they battle IS to regain territory. The coalition is scaling back its airstrikes in besieged urban areas. Efforts are underway to increase training of explosive disposal teams.

NFL likes area athletes Last Saturday, Crystal Lake South graduates and former teammates Fahn Cooper and Jake Bernstein became the latest area football players to get their shot at the National Football League. Cooper was drafted out of Ole Miss in the fifth round of the NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers while Bernstein was signed as For the record a free agent by the Kansas City Chiefs The number of McHenry out of Vanderbilt. County athletes in the NFL As their former today is a credit to the area’s coach, Crystal Lake coaches and to the players’ South’s Chuck work ethic. Ahsmann, said in February on signing day, this is where college football coaches tell him they come for offensive linemen. Cooper and Bernstein aren’t alone. Marian Central grad Bryan Bulaga, of Crystal Lake, is a veteran Green Bay Packers starter at right tackle. He also has a Super Bowl ring. C.J. Fiedorowicz, of Johnsburg, is the Houston Texans’ starting tight end and a big-time blocker and receiver from that position as well. And Woodstock grad Mike Liedtke is an offensive linemen on the Chiefs along with Bernstein. Why are there so many area blockers in the NFL right now? It’s a combination of reasons, starting with the hard work and excellent coaching they received here. Each of them were known as dedicated workers who had both a high level of skill and an unmatched work ethic. The area also has a reputation for high-level line coaching, at the high school and lower levels and also with individual trainers such as Dave Davis of Davis Speed Center, Chris Leathers of Your World Fitness and offensive line coach Steve Spoden. Those certainly aren’t all the coaching names worth mentioning, but they’re the ones that consistently come to mind with these players, who worked their way up to reach where they are today. From the looks of it, there are plenty more local athletes currently in the college and high school ranks with a chance to join them. Only time will determine if they can continue to beat the odds and make it happen. All of that is a credit to the area’s coaches and the players’ work ethic. For that, they should be commended.

Sick of failure in Detroit schools Detroit teachers are waging another sickout, and this time nearly every public school in the city has been closed for two days. First thoughts naturally go to the students who are losing instruction time. But even when schools are in session, not a lot of learning seems to go on in Detroit, which ranks as the worst-performing big-city system in the country. It will take a lot more than money and returning teachers to the classroom to improve the options for Detroit students. Rather than tinkering with a failing system, city and state officials need to consider more sweeping changes. Students at 94 of 97 public schools in Detroit were sidelined Monday and Tuesday after the teachers union called for a sickout because of concerns over the system’s troubled finances. Faced with staggering debt, the system is operating on an emergency infusion of $48.7 million in state aid that will run out June 30. Unless

the state passes a rescue plan, the system won’t be able to pay teachers for work they do after April 28. Teachers are right to be concerned. But the sickouts – which have been employed with increasing frequency in Detroit this year to protest everything from class sizes to the poor physical condition of schools – disrupt the lives of 40,000 students and their families. The tactic also may cause Michigan lawmakers to dig in their heels. The sickouts don’t lend much credibility to the claim of Detroit Federation of Teachers interim President Ivy Bailey that “Teachers want to be in the classroom giving children a chance to learn and reach their potential.” The fundamental fact of Detroit schools is academic failure. According to results of the 2015 National Assessment for Educational Progress, the nation’s report card, only 5 percent of Detroit fourth-graders and 4

percent of eighth-graders were proficient in math; reading was a tad less disastrous with 6 percent of fourth-graders and 7 percent of eighth-graders proficient. Families with the wherewithal have fled the system. State control and a succession of emergency managers have been unable to bring change. The indictment in March of a dozen school principals on federal charges of operating a bribery and kickback scheme was a reminder of the adult self-interest embedded in the system. Gov. Rick Snyder (R) has put forth a plan to split the system into two districts (one focused on educating students and the other on dealing with debt) while the Detroit school board has gone to court seeking to regain local control. Snyder’s plan probably has the most potential, but lawmakers would do well to consider whether even bolder action is needed.

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

A comet shoots across the sky, leaving a trail like blood. And he lost Indiana.

Every umbrella indoors opens spontaneously without warning.

Now all that remains is Donald Trump.

“Macbeth,” Leslie Odom, Jr., announces, without meaning to, at the end of a critical number in “Hamilton.” “Macbeth.” The theater goes still.

Donald Trump tried to be statesmanlike but he could only pull it off for a few hours at a stretch. Then he has to lie down and recharge.

A single black cat crosses the street in front of you. Now Donald Trump says we are going to love each other and cherish each other. Donald Trump says that we will become “one beautiful, loving country.”

Another black cat follows the first cat.

Trump’s path through California to the convention is clear.

You try to cross but there are too many black cats like a mighty cat torrent, blocking your path. Here we are. This is fine.

Finally you turn away from the cats and return home by another way.

Trump remains. He is all that is left. Do not underestimate him. Discard him at your peril.

You climb onto the pyre and light it on fire. The Trump abides.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Stop over-regulating business

To the Editor: Let’s see, now that the first quarter of 2016 has had another rousing growth spurt of 0.5 percent, maybe they’ll blame this one on volcanic activity. Maybe they’ll get 97 percent of the Nobel prize winning economists to praise “quantitative easing” (which serves to make the rich richer) so the Federal Reserve can continue to insist that the demand side of the economy has been properly sated. Maybe we should have another $800 billion stimulus package for roads and bridges to regenerate all those shovel-ready jobs. No matter how anemic the economy performs, our president is at-the-ready with an even more anemic explanation as to why we are actually doing amazingly well. Here is a president who got re-elected with the worst of economic statistics, and he’s still pathologically oblivious to any real solution. His solution to every problem so far has been more and more government spending and more and more regulations in the private economy. This approach has not worked! You just can’t have 90 million people out of work and claim victory The problem is not that the so-called rich have too much money. All the assets of the top one percent can be seized and

it wouldn’t cover the federal budget for a year. Small businesses create most of the jobs anyway, so get the tax burden off their necks and let them thrive in a business-friendly country. Stop regulating business activities that have nothing to do with unfair practices in the market. Rick Justen Wonder Lake

Ignite Woodstock’s creative writing workshop

To the Editor: I just completed the Ignite Woodstock Creative Writing Workshop. It was the most gratifying investment of my time and energy, over eight weeks, which I hope will lead to a published book titled “How Death Saved My Life” about a girl who survives heroin addiction to become a successful, college-educated woman; and her mother who tries for years to help her stop before it’s too late. I want to thank the city of Woodstock for its $25,000 grant to make this experience possible. It was money well spent, and hopefully will be returned to the city ten-fold or more when student books publish and/or films sell for development. Students signed a Memorandum of Understanding at registration that outlined their agreement that if any work is sold,

percentages of the funds will be given to the city and to EMH Consulting Group/ Ignite Woodstock. It’s a fair deal for students who wish to move forward with their works, after receiving a priceless education. This wouldn’t have been possible without the city’s support. The workshop instructor, Cary Granat, a successful Hollywood movie producer, publisher, entertainment innovator and more, is extremely dedicated to this program, as is Laura Witlox Middaugh, class coordinator.

To the Editor: I would like to thank the law enforcement teams that responded to the tragic, one-car accident on Route 120 on Monday evening, Lakemoor Police in particular. These officers were swift and decisive in creating a secure accident scene while simultaneously setting up a perimeter to divert and reroute traffic. They showed great poise and professionalism in a crisis situation. Sometimes we forget just how much we depend on our local law enforcement men and women to keep us safe and secure. They deserve our gratitude and respect.

FDA to require review of e-cigarettes By MATTHEW PERRONE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The federal government announced sweeping new rules Thursday for electronic cigarettes that will for the first time require the devices and their ingredients to be reviewed, a mandate that could offer protection for consumers and upend a multibillion dollar industry that has gone largely unregulated. Before brands are allowed to stay in the market, regulators will check the e-cigarettes’ design and the liquid nicotine they contain. The fast-growing devices have found a foothold with teenagers. “Millions of kids are being introduced to nicotine every year, a new generation hooked on a highly addictive chemical,” Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said. “We cannot let the enormous progress we’ve made toward a tobacco-free generation be undermined by products that impact our health and economy in this way.” The rules issued by the Food and Drug Administration also will extend long-standing restrictions on traditional cigarettes to a host of other products, including e-cigarettes, hookah tobacco, pipe tobacco and nicotine gels. Minors would be banned from buying the products. Battery-powered e-cigarettes turn the nicotine into an inhalable vapor. They lack the chemicals and tars of burning tobacco, but the cigarettes

The Food and Drug Administration released long-awaited rules Thursday that bring the burgeoning electronic cigarette industry under federal oversight. have not been extensively studied, and there’s no scientific consensus on the risks or advantages of “vaping.” More than 15 percent of high school students report using e-cigarettes, up more than 900 percent over the last five years, according to federal figures. Beginning in August, retailers will be prohibited from selling tobacco products to anyone younger than 18, placing them in vending machines or distributing free samples. While nearly all states already ban sales of e-cigarettes to minors, federal officials said they will be able to im-

pose stiffer penalties and deploy more resources for enforcement. For now, e-cigarette users may not see big changes. Companies have two years to submit their information to the FDA and another year while the agency reviews it. The review process applies to products introduced after 2007, which includes nearly all of them. Government officials said the reviews are critical to taming the “wild west” marketplace. “With this rule, the FDA will be able to prevent misleading claims and pro-

vide consumers with information to help them better understand the risks” of tobacco, FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said. The action comes five years after the agency first announced its intent to regulate e-cigarettes and more than two years after it floated its initial proposal. The rules are not uniform. For example, while the FDA intends to phase out flavored cigars, it will allow flavored e-cigarettes to remain on the market, a decision that irked anti-tobacco advocates. The changes do “nothing to restrict the irresponsible marketing of e-cigarettes or the use of sweet e-cigarette flavors such as gummy bear and cotton candy,” said Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. The vaping industry said the lengthy federal reviews would be time-consuming and costly and could put many smaller companies out of business. The regulations “will cause a modern-day prohibition of products that are recognized worldwide as far less hazardous than cigarettes,” said Gregory Conley, president of the American Vaping Association. “If the FDA’s rule is not changed by Congress or the courts, thousands of small businesses will close in two to three years.” The agency has stumbled before in its efforts to regulate the products. In 2010, a federal appeals court threw out the agency’s plan to treat e-cigarettes as drug-delivery devices rather than tobacco products.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, MAY 6, 2016

LAS VEGAS – Channing Tatum is bringing his “Magic Mike” act to Las Vegas. The 36-year-old actor has announced that he’s directing “Magic Mike Live Las Vegas.” It’s billed as a live male strip revue based on the movie “Magic Mike” and a sequel, “Magic Mike XXL.” Tatum starred as the title character in the films and is a former stripper himself, but he said he won’t be taking the stage for the live show. Alison Faulk did choreography for the movies and also will choreograph the live act. “Magic Mike Live Las Vegas” is scheduled to begin previews at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in March 2017.

China’s President Xi Jinping (right) talks with Robert A. Iger, CEO of the Walt Disney Company, on Thursday at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China.

Disney CEO meets Chinese president ahead of park opening BEIJING – The head of entertainment giant Disney had a rare official meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday, a month before the opening of its $5.5 billion theme park in the country’s financial hub of Shanghai. Xi told Disney CEO and Chairman Robert A. Iger that it was important for the world’s “strongest” country, referring to the U.S., and the world’s largest developing country to deepen their cooperation and expand it into new areas. Cooperation between “U.S. firms with Chinese firms, and in particular the Walt Disney Company with Chinese firms, are exactly cases in point of such new cooperation,” Xi said. “And I believe the new cooperation will continue to yield new outcomes.” One such partnership for Disney seemingly ran into trouble recently when a service launched in December with e-commerce giant Alibaba was taken offline. DisneyLife allowed subscribers in China to access Disney-branded movies, games and e-books, and helped them to plan trips to Disney’s Hong Kong and upcoming Shanghai theme parks. The service stoppage comes amid a broader crackdown on digital media in tandem with an increasingly restrictive political climate in China. In February, a new requirement stated that foreign companies and foreign-Chinese joint ventures must obtain approval before publishing content online. Apple Inc.’s movies and e-books services also have been suspended in China, although the company said it is optimistic they will be back online. Disney said it licenses content to Alibaba, and could not comment on DisneyLife’s suspension. Alibaba said in a statement: “The service is undergoing an upgrade. We do not have an estimate on when the service will resume.” At the Great Hall of the People, the ceremonial seat of China’s legislature, Xi congratulated Iger on the planned opening on June 16 of the Shanghai Disney Resort, the company’s first theme park in mainland China.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Elvin Bishop, Eddy Clearwater, Jimmy Johnson, John Mayall and the Memphis Jug Band have been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in Memphis, Tennessee. The five new inductees were honored on Wednesday by the Blues Foundation. British blues artist Mayall and Eric Clapton formed the Bluesbreakers, which would also include Mick Taylor, Peter Green and John McVie. Bishop was a founding member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and had a hit song in 1976 with “Fooled Around and Fell in Love.” From the Chicago music scene, left-handed guitarist Clearwater earned the nickname “The Chief” for wearing an Indian headdress, while Johnson, a blues singer and guitarist, wrote “Don’t Answer the Door,” a hit for B.B. King. The Memphis Jug Band was an African-American pre-war jug band.

John Williams assists with Kobe Bryant animated film

LOS ANGELES – Kobe Bryant’s farewell poem to basketball is getting the short film treatment with some high profile talent behind it. Titled “Dear Basketball,” the animated short film will be scored by acclaimed composer John Williams and directed by longtime Disney animator Glen Keane, best known for his work on “The Little Mermaid” and “Aladdin.” Bryant will narrate.

The retired L.A. Lakers great announced the project on Thursday, a co-production between Sports Illustrated, Believe Entertainment Group, and Bryant’s new production studio Kobe Studios. The poem served as Bryant’s retirement announcement last year. Bryant said the film is “the perfect tribute to something I’ve loved so long.” The short film and a behind the scenes look at the making of the film will premiere on SI.com.

‘Jungle Book,’ Warner Bros. win at trailer awards

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – While Disney’s “The Jungle Book” dominates the box office, the team responsible for getting the word out also got its due at the Golden Trailer Awards. The film won its top four honors at the annual celebration of movie marketing, held Wednesday night in Beverly Hills. Warner Bros. picked up the most prizes for an individual studio with 11 awards for achievements such as best comedy trailer for “Keanu.” Disney followed with 10, only two of which were for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” even though the release of the film’s trailers and posters became veritable cultural events. Wayne Brady hosted the lively ceremony, which keeps things light with awards such as trashiest poster for “Dirty Grandpa.” The best of show prize went to a spot for the Academy Award-winning film “Spotlight.”

PARENTING

Kids’ art studios the new playroom Art Pantry owner urges creative confidence By LINDSEY M. ROBERTS The Washington Post Is the art room the new playroom? It would be if Megan Schiller of Mill Valley, California, had her way. After time spent in early childhood education, and then experience running her own children’s art studio, Schiller now helps parents design mini art studios for their kids in their homes. She calls her business The Art Pantry because she believes it’s just as important for kids to have room to do art as it is to have room to store and make food. “It’s about letting kids develop a creative confidence at a young age,” she said. Schiller wants to help all families have a dedicated creative space, even if it’s only a drawer in the kitchen for storing markers and crayons. “It’s a long process and it takes time, but it’s really worth it,” she said. We talked to Schiller, whose own daughters are now 7 and 4, about the whys and hows of an in-home art corner and where she goes for creative inspiration.

Why is it important for kids to do art?

It’s about letting kids develop a creative confidence at a young age. They don’t have to have a passion for the arts ... it can develop into growing up and using power tools. It’s about knowing how to use supplies and take them into their life. For example, if they’re playing with their toys and they want to have a rocket ship, they can go and build one. It’s not about the product and what it looks like in the end; it’s about letting them touch things and get messy. A lot of kids like to squeeze a whole glue bottle out because they’re learning to use their muscles. I like to let them do that, because it teaches them what’s too much glue. If they’re allowed to explore, then they learn why, and that will carry with them as they get older.

Why is it important to have easy access to art?

In general, if kids have access to supplies, then they can develop confidence – though, I don’t let a 2-year-old have complete access to paint and things. If kids always have to ask per-

mission, they won’t feel confident and they might not use the supplies very much. If supplies are accessible but disorganized, they might not use them either. In a dedicated space, with easy access, art becomes a part of their life. Imagine if kids had to ask permission to play with a stuffed animal – that would change the way they play.

What is an ideal place to set up for art? What’s too small, too far away?

It really depends on the family, the kids, their ages, and their personalities. For young kids, or kids who want to be close to their families, it’s important to have it close to you. The kitchen is great – the kids are more likely to use the space while you or other kids are engaged in other activities. If you don’t want to see it all the time, or if you have guests over, then you might dedicate a cabinet in the kitchen. Or even have a portable caddy-one of those plastic boxes with different compartments, and carry it around in the house. You also can have closed cabinetry that’s just dedicated to art supplies; an armoire or something. For older kids who like to have their space and don’t mind going into another room without their parents, a bedroom or someplace with the most room would work. Except basements! Even if a kid is 7 or 8 years old, they don’t want to go into a basement without their parents.

Where do you go for art project inspiration?

The Artful Parent has been my go-to resource since I started teaching art. She’s always been an inspiration. Meri Cherry is a great blog, because it’s fun and simple and easy to do with kids. She’s also an art teacher. TinkerLab is great for more science and making. Babble Dabble Doo is good for art and engineering combinations. The Art Bar Blog also is just beautiful inspiration. She’s an art teacher, too. You can see the kinds of projects she does in her living room – big, messy art projects. It’s inspiring to see that you still can do messy art projects in a nice home.

A lot of kids will explore, but they might not know what to do with something. I explain what it is and explore it with them. We might do painting, and I’ll teach them a technique, like printmaking, or watercolor and crayons. Then I’ll just leave the materials there and let them explore on their own.

Usually they’ll walk in and notice it on the table and they’ll want to work with it. It’s a good way to get them excited and engaged with their materials in a different way – I might pick out something they haven’t used in a while.

What do you say to parents who feel a little apprehensive about the mess and the expense?

Definitely pick a few things you feel

Talk to me about art prompts. What are comfortable with. If you get something you’re not comfortable with, like these?

I call them “invitations to create,” because they’re a way of inviting a child to explore materials. I like to set out about three to five different things, displayed really nicely and inviting on a tray or in the middle of a table. I let them come across it on their own.

finger paint, and you’re terrified to use it, you might put it off and not try it. Then just sit and explore the material alongside your child. It’s amazing to see what they do, and it gives them encouragement and excitement to try new things.

Bull Valley Dentistry recommends oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea SPONSORED BY

Oral appliance therapy is a type of treatment for people afflicted with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, which can disrupt your own good night’s sleep as well as that of your partner. With this therapy, the patient wears a removable oral appliance. It is specifically custom-made to form to the shape of the patient’s teeth and mouth, by Dr. John Dano at Bull Valley Dentistry in McHenry. The appliance is worn while sleeping, and moves the tongue and lower jaw forward to open the airway for breathing. How can you tell if you have sleep apnea? Here are the key signs: -- If you have loud and chronic snoring -- Loud snoring while sleeping on your back -- You find yourself fighting sleepiness during the day -- Falling asleep during the day -- Morning headaches -- Not being able to concentrate

-- Waking up often to go to the bathroom -- Dry mouth or a sore throat upon awakening. What you can do if you suspect you have sleep apnea is to schedule an appointment at Bull Valley Dentistry, which offers an in-home Sleep Study Test to help find out if you have sleep apnea. This sleep study device can easily be hooked up by you, and then our neurologist will provide a report from your test results. If a patient has mild to moderate sleep apnea, or if they cannot tolerate a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device, they may benefit from wearing a custom-made oral appliance. Sleep apnea appliances are cleared by the FDA, so you can rest assured the appliance is safe and effective. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea or if you would like to find out if you have sleep apnea, and would like more information on how Dr. Dano treats sleep apnea, please call our office.

comes from, as my mother put it, “knowing how the sausage is made.” We all know how the sausage is made in our jobs. A 2010 survey by the staffing firm Adecco revealed only 21 percent of mothers would encourage their child to follow the same career path. The rest would choose a different job or career for their children. Parents want their children to do something easier, and something that pays better, than what they do. Part of this must be that our jobs seem low-paying and/or difficult because we are the ones doing them. According to a 2014 poll by the Conference Board, 52.3 percent of Americans are unhappy at work. A daily diet of social media can lead us to believe everyone else is more successful and is having more fun at work than we are. But work is hard work, and every career has its challenges. Many people dream of becoming a writer. They imagine (as I used to) writers are visited by muses who deliver stories that later become bestselling novels. But as a professional, I know just how much isolation and frustration the career can cause. I dream of becoming a dentist. In my imagination, it’s easy and lucrative. You just peer at people’s teeth and chatter on about

your upcoming vacation while they – wide-mouthed – are forced to listen. Of course, in reality, I’m sure there is a lot more to it than that, and my dentist probably daydreams about some other, entirely different, career – like nuclear physicist. Apparently, we all think there are better jobs out there, and those are the jobs we want our kids to have. In the end, I’m not sure my opinion will matter much, anyway. My daughter’s career will be her choice, not mine. I can’t tell you how many times I heard it was nearly impossible to make a living as a writer before I foolishly went off and did just that. After all, sometimes our careers choose us and not the other way around. The fact is if most future jobs will be in STEM fields, it makes sense to encourage those fields and to teach them well in school. But children are individuals, not statistics. In the future, some people will make a living in the arts. Whether or not my child will be one of them is up to her – I’ll support her, whether she decides to be a writer, a scientist or a hairdresser/senator.

reading glasses won’t do that. They also won’t correct for a common condition called astigmatism. Of greater concern is the possibility your reading difficulties are caused not by simple presbyopia. The lens isn’t the only part of the eye that changes as we age. As you get older, your risk for developing other, more serious conditions also increases. These include cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration. That’s why I really urge people to get professional advice when they start having problems reading. You might get lucky and drugstore reading glasses may do the trick. But there’s a good chance prescription glasses will give you better vision. Also, if you have a more serious eye condition, it will be caught and treated early through an eye exam. Finally, remember this: Once you’re older than 40, you should be having regular eye exams with an ophthalmologist even if you’re not having trouble reading. I recall a new patient who once came to me. He was almost completely blind from glaucoma. He had used drugstore reading glasses for 20 years, until they no longer helped. When the real problem, glaucoma, was diagnosed, it already had caused permanent loss of vision. Regular eye exams are the cornerstone to good visual health, whether or not you need glasses.

Dear Dr. K: My vision has been getting worse, and I definitely need reading glasses. Is there any reason not to get the inexpensive ones sold at the drugstore? Dear Reader: If you’re older than 40, reading glasses can be a necessity. Many people end up buying several pairs at the drugstore. They are inexpensive and available in a wide variety of styles. (Not to mention reading glasses tend to be easily misplaced.) Why do we need reading glasses in the first place? We see when light rays enter our eyes. The eye’s lens bends and focuses the rays on the retina. This allows the eye to clearly focus on objects at different distances. As we age, the lens loses some of its flexibility. As a result, it becomes harder to focus on close objects – to read, sew or knit, for example. This is known as presbyopia, which translates to “elder vision.” It might seem strange the words “elder vision” were used for a condition that typically starts in a person’s 40s (or earlier). However, when the term first was used, the average life expectancy of a person in the United States was less than age 50. You asked about off-the-rack reading glasses. These essentially are two magnifying lenses mounted in an eyeglass frame. Like prescription lenses, they provide varying degrees of magnification or refraction (how much they bend and focus light rays). The strength of reading glasses increases in increments of .25, usually ranging from plus-1.00 to plus-2.50. Drugstore reading glasses typically provide the same refraction for both eyes. That might be fine if you need the same refraction, but many people don’t. Another issue is many people who need reading glasses for close vision also need glasses for distant vision. Drugstore

CROSSWORD

Dear Abby: I’m DEAR ABBY a gay man in my early 60s. I have Jeanne been fortunate to Phillips live pretty openly, despite being stuck in a small, conservative Southern town. Many guys I have gotten to know over the years are not so lucky, due to being married, afraid for their careers, etc. As a result, many of them lead double lives with their true orientation known only to other gays. When one of these acquaintances passes away, should I attend the funeral services to pay my respects even though I might not have known anyone else in the family? Or should I stay away to keep tongues from wagging and asking, “How did Sam know that guy?” – Circumspect In The South Dear Circumspect: Not everyone who attends

a funeral is an intimate friend of the deceased. Some of them are people who knew the person from a distance and admired what he or she accomplished in life. If you feel the need to go to the funeral, by all means do. But have an answer prepared in case you are asked questions because “How did you know Bob?” is a common and innocent one. Dear Abby: A couple of months after moving in with my boyfriend, I have realized his mattress is not a good fit for me. He says it’s 12 years old and it still has 10 to 15 years left in it. Every day, I wake up with an aching, stiff back. I have a job that keeps me standing all day, so my back pain is starting to affect my performance. I like living with him, but how can I get him to replace the mattress? It seems he has chosen the mattress over me, so I guess I’ll start sleeping on the floor. – Sleepy In St. Louis Dear Sleepy: According to the website of one of the top mattress manufacturers, the average lifespan of a quality mattress is between eight and 10 years. Mattresses older than that can suffer from deteriorating comfort features and diminished support capabilities. Many consumers wait too long to replace their mattresses. If you wake up in the morning not feeling refreshed and rejuvenated or feeling pain or discomfort, then it’s time to replace this one. So talk with your boyfriend again. If he’s not willing to invest in a replacement, suggest buying a firm mattress topper or even splitting the cost for a new mattress. A restful night’s sleep is essential for good health. If you are unable to convince him, then you might have moved in with him too quickly.

CRYSTAL LAKE

Ambrose Bierce said, “There is nothing new under the sun, but there are lots of old things we don’t know.” We should spend every day trying to learn more things. We are looking at deals in which a defender uses the point-count to place the unseen honors and work out how he might be able to beat the contract. In this example, South is in three no-trump. West leads the spade nine. South wins the trick and runs the club queen to East’s king. How should East continue? With a low doubleton, it was normal for North to use Stayman in the hope of uncovering a 4-4 heart fit. East should count up the highcard points. He has nine, dummy holds 11, and South promised 15-17. That leaves 3-5 for West. Given the play so far (the spade-nine top-ofnothing lead denying an honor in the suit and South’s presumably holding the club queen-jack for the trick-two finesse), West is marked with one of the red aces -- but which one? Well, if it is the diamond ace, that will not be sufficiently helpful. At best, the defenders will take two hearts, one diamond and one club. But if West has the heart ace, the defenders can come out ahead if East carefully shifts to the heart two; he must resist the temptation to cash the king first, in case West started with ace-doubleton. As you can see, this defense -assuming West wins the trick and returns his second heart! -- defeats the contract. Never stop counting those points.

Dundee-Crown over the past week. 5. Huntley (8-4): The Red Raiders earned wins over Woodstock North, South Elgin and McHenry over the past week. NOTEWORTHY Gutsy effort: Tuesday at Prairie Ridge, Cary-Grove senior Curt Norton didn’t get the win, but he showed some heart in the process. After capturing the first set easily, Norton began to feel cramping in his legs midway through the second set and ended up dropping the set. In the third, he trailed 1-0 when both legs completely seized up. A trainer attended to Norton and he managed to rally back to take a 3-1 lead. But shortly after, the cramping returned and he couldn’t finish the match. Still, he showed some guts to continue to try to fight through the pain. Closing in on 100: While Jacobs’ Rowan captured his 100th career victory last week, another local athlete has the opportunity to do the same as the season winds down.

Battle House Laser Combat helps grooms celebrate upcoming nuptials! By Denise Freese Many men and women are choosing to marry later in life, and the draw of an alcohol-fueled, bar- hopping bachelor party isn’t what it used to be. Friends of the groom are starting to recognize it’s about friends and family, not bars and strip clubs. These days, even the bride and her family are included in the fun. Doug Huckbody and his wife Jane are owners of Battle House Laser Combat in Lake Barrington. Several years ago, their daughter Carolynn had organized a pre-wedding event for her groom, groomsmen, and close male relatives at a Tactical Laser Tag venue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Doug and Jane enjoyed it so much they decided to create a similar experience to provide a thrilling and very unique entertainment experience in northern Illinois. A bachelor party is a wonderful event to celebrate at Battle House. It’s fun for everyone, but especially for those who enjoy video gaming and intense competition.

By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com McHENRY – Scoring chances were minimal for the first 38 minutes of Thursday’s girls soccer match between McHenry and Jacobs, and it appeared a low-scoring match was in the cards. Jacobs coach Stephanie Schuck saw some things that she wanted to drill to her team at halftime. “We haven’t been finishing most of the season, and today it really seemed like if we kept putting pressure on [McHenry], we could start to score some goals,” Schuck said. “We challenged them at halftime and let them know what we think would work.” The message delivered by the Jacobs coaching staff definitely was received. The Golden Eagles scored four second-half goals in just more than 19 minutes and went on to a 5-2 victory over McHenry in a Fox Valley Conference

Prairie Ridge’s Hayden Dzurisin stood only seven wins from 100 heading into Thursday afternoon’s match. He should have plenty of opportunities to add to his total during the final few matches of the regular season, the FVC tournament next weekend and – most likely – at the state tournament. Washed out: The second day of the Pitchford Invite was rained out Saturday. But Jacobs still came away with a strong performance. Playing against some of the top talent in Illinois, Panchapakesan reached the consolation semifinals, and Rowan finished in the consolation finals at No. 2. The Golden Eagles likely will face some of the same competition later in the season, with many of their players projected to reach the state meet.

After only a few scoring chances in most of the first half, Jacobs (7-7,13 FVC Valley) finally got a good look with just more than two minutes before halftime. Freshman Cassie Kowalski took a feed from Caitlin Strong and buried it in the back of the net. Kowalski ended up with two goals in the match. “In practice, I’ve been working on getting open and was in the right place for that first goal,” Kowalski said. “We talked at halftime and discussed some things, and I was able to connect and get another goal.” McHenry (2-11, 0-4) came out with a lot more energy in the second half, and seven minutes in the Warriors tied the score on a goal from Lexi Vargas on an assist from Kylee Bentsen. The momentum wouldn’t remain with the home team for long. Just 48 seconds after McHenry tied it, Jacobs took the lead back on a goal from Jacobs’ other freshman, Hannah Mohan. “I’ve been working on where to be off the slot, and it really helped me get that goal,” Mohan said. “In the second half, we finished what we needed to do and the adrenaline started going and

Against D-C, she allowed one unearned run on three hits in seven innings with three strikeouts and no walks on 90 pitches. Earlier in the year, Ciesla was part of a pitcher rotation, usually going two, three or four innings at most. “I feel great. I play travel, so I’m used to going that long,” Ciesla said. “It was different to do two innings here and there. Now I feel better, getting in a groove to make those outs.” Ruggles was just as hard to hit for D-C (13-13 overall, 2-5 FVC Valley), giving up two earned runs on four hits in six innings with six strikeouts and four walks. Both teams allowed an unearned run on a throwing error to account for the game’s first two runs. Deanna Origer was 2 for 3 with a double and a run scored for D-C, and Taelor Schmitz was 1 for 3 with a steal for McHenry (17-6, 5-2).

HUNTLEY FOOTBALL

Oladipo receives offer from Michigan State Defensive lineman hopes to narrow college list to 7 soon By JON STYF jstyf@shawmedia.com When Michigan State defensive line coach Ron Burton visited Huntley on Thursday, Olalere Oladipo wasn’t expecting a scholarship offer. The 6-foot-4, 235-pounder thought that process would take longer, into the summer. But it came, and now the Huntley junior has 19 scholarship offers as he hopes to get set to narrow the list of schools he plans on considering to seven, with plenty of input from his family and Huntley coach Matt Zimolzak. Colleges from throughout the country have been at Huntley regularly this spring. Penn State, Illinois, Iowa and Northern Illinois recently. Michigan State area recruiter Brad Salem visited last week.

From @LereOladipo on Twitter

Huntley defensive end Olalere Oladipo on April 23 visit for Michigan State’s spring game. MSU defensive line coach Ron Burton is on the right. Oladipo visited Michigan State, along with Zimolzak, on April 23 for the Spartans’ spring game. Oladipo said he met Michigan State signee Josh King,

from Hinsdale South, and the coaches told him they look for defensive linemen in the Chicago area, signing four from the area in the past two years. “When I went out there to visit, just being in that atmosphere, my interest grew,” Oladipo said. “I didn’t know much about Michigan State. I learned a lot when I was there. Then I came back and looked up a lot more.” Now, Oladipo is preparing for Nike’s The Opening regional camp May 14 with Huntley quarterback Eric Mooney. After that, he’ll be getting ready to narrow down his list, hoping he still gets an offer from Duke, as well. “When we went to visit (Michigan State) at the scrimmage, he was really excited about being there, what they had to offer and the coaches,” said Zimolzak, who was Oladipo’s position coach on defense last year. “That was one of the ones that he was excited about getting.” Oladipo has 19 Division I offers, from Big Ten schools Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Purdue, Penn State, Maryland and Michigan State, along with Illinois State, Central Michigan, Miami (Ohio), Western Michigan, Wyoming,

Toledo, Bowling Green, NIU, Buffalo, New Mexico, and Syracuse. Oladipo played mainly defensive tackle last year but will be a defensive end this fall and most likely in college. “Once they saw his tape, they know he’s got talent and got the size for it,” Zimolzak said. “He’s just going to be better with more experience as he learns a lot more technique, gets stronger. “... When you see his quickness off the ball, that’s what they’re looking for.” Zimolzak said schools also are looking at junior offensive tackle Andrew Pertzborn (6-1, 285), who played both right guard and right tackle last year, along with defensive end Caleb Jones (6-1, 200). Both have potential to be lower level D-I recruits. Huntley quarterback Eric Mooney, a sophomore, also is receiving a lot of interest as anything from a slot receiver to all-purpose athlete. That could change this fall as he gets more highlight tape at quarterback as a junior, as well. Receiver Alec Coss, a junior, could end up playing baseball or football.

Although Woodstock finished 10th overall in the 13-team meet, the Blue Streaks also had championships from Brianna Verbeeck (100) and freshman Syd Heidtke (300 low hurdles). “I’m really happy with my 800,” said Beattie, who won in 2:16.43. “I’ve never been under 2:20, and I’ve never won a [1,600].” Plus, she beat her older sister Kayla’s 800 school record (2:17.84). Kayla was a multiple state champion in cross country and track. Freeman could not get the shot put record, but was pleased with taking two titles. “I’m happy with my discus, considering how ‘off’ I felt,” said Freeman, who said the slick ring made it tough for the competitors. “The ring was pretty slippery, the footing didn’t feel the best.” As competitors walked on wet grass to retrieve their discs, then back into the ring, the surface became slick. Schaffer won both jumps at the county meet two weeks ago and enjoys jumping at Red Raider Stadium, where the Class 3A sectional will be Thursday. “I came in a little bit nervous, but my coaches kept motivating me telling me to keep my head up,” Schaffer said. “My jumps came out good.

The Cubs won, 5-2. Scherzer got the seven-year, $210 million deal that topped the free-agent pitching class before last season (which

to be good.” Scherzer was in a similar position with the Detroit Tigers two and three years ago. Like Arrieta during the offseason and again during spring training, Scherzer turned down extension offers from the Tigers to avoid free agency – the last one for six years, $144 million, a sum that caused gasps across the baseball map when he turned it down. “You just make a decision,” he said of that offer. “I had the things in front of me, injury risk factors and where I was at in my career. They appeared low. I just took care of the risk factor [mentally], and once I did that, I just said, ‘Hey, let’s go out there and compete and win,’ and that’s all that matters.” If anything, Arrieta seems as confident in his strength and durability as he is in his ability to shut down lineups these days. And the Cubs weren’t going near the relative market numbers the Tigers did with Scherzer in recent talks. “If we’re talking financial, it’s going to work itself out,” Arrieta said. “I don’t put a whole lot of time and effort into that because at the end of the day I’m going to be compensated well regardless.”

Baker explains why he pushed Prior, Wood and other starters so hard By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Is this Cubs team better than the one Dusty Baker managed to within a foul ball and a botched double play of the World Series? And could one of the differences have been at the root of the breakdowns that plagued starting pitchers such as Mark Prior and Kerry Wood during that era? Baker seems to think so in both cases. In town this weekend in his first year managing the National League East-leading Washington Nationals, Baker compared what many believe were the best Cubs teams in 70-plus years to the team that entered Thursday with the best record in the majors. “I know they have more depth than we had,” said Baker, who managed the Cubs from 2003 to ’06. “They have a better bullpen than we had then. It’s no

consolation, but it’s why I had to stretch out my starters longer than I even wanted to because we didn’t have a bullpen like they have now. I’m not saying we didn’t have a great bullpen, but at that time we had to make a big trade in order to make that push.” Baker has long been blamed by Chicago sports-talk pundits and fans for his pitchers’ injuries based on the Dusty Baker handling of those staffs. Wood and Prior have been outspoken in defense of Baker. With Prior, Wood and Carlos Zambrano anchoring the staff, the 2003 team came the closest to reaching the World Series since integration, until the infamous unraveling in the eighth inning of Game 6 of the NL Championship Series. The 2004 team was considered even stronger.

“What kind of upset me was how much money they spent as soon as I left,” said Baker, who went on to manage the Reds for six years, during which they made three playoff appearances. “But when I look back, I also had to realize that the Cubs weren’t spending money then because we were in the middle of the transition for the Tribune Co. to be sold.” Baker, who turns 67 on June 15, appears to be having the same effect with the Nationals as he had with the 2003 Cubs. “I think about the many times I wanted to be the guy who won it in Chicago, and we were close,” Baker said. “So now I’m in a similar situation in D.C. They haven’t been in existence long, but baseball’s been in D.C. for a long period of time. “I’ve got a new goal, to be the first guy (since 1924) to manage a team and take it to a World Series and win in D.C.”

CHICAGO – For all the impressive pitching on both sides during the Cubs’ 5-2 victory over the Washington Nationals on Thursday night, the stars – and dollar signs – start coming out in earnest the next three games of this marquee series. Consider all eyes on former Cy Young winner Max Scherzer of the Nationals on Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field – including the eyes of the Cubs’ Cy Young winner. “I watch him just Jake Arrieta because he’s one of the best,” Jake Arrieta said. “He threw two no-hitters last year, I think. Right?” June 20 and Oct. 3, to be exact, with only 18 starts between them. But, that’s nothing. Arrieta, who starts Sunday, had only half that many starts between his no-hitters, the most recent just two weeks ago in Cincinnati. It’s no wonder that every time agent Scott Boras is asked about Arrieta’s free agency future, the words “Max Scherzer” seem to be the first two out of his mouth.

also included Jon Lester). And his process looks like the template Boras is using for Arrieta – the backdrop against which Scherzer’s start against the team with the best record in baseball and Arrieta’s against the second best might be compared this weekend. “It’s a start,” Arrieta (6-0 with a 0.84 ERA) said of Scherzer and the seven-year deal that was eclipsed by David Price and the Red Sox a few months ago ($217 million). “I think it’s maybe kind of hard to compare me to a lot of guys, especially recently. I know the bar’s set high.” Boras has equated Scherzer’s “low mileage” on his arm as a free agent to Arrieta’s, said they share similar workout and nutrition regimens and just last month pointed out that “every Cy Young winner has gotten seven years.” “Obviously, Scott has compared Max and I as far as contractually, but the number continues to rise every year,” said Arrieta, who’s on a historic run over his last 26 starts. “The next free agent gets a little bit more, the next a little more, and so on and so forth. We’ll see. But it’s so far out of my thought process right now. “If I continue to do what I’m doing, which I intend to do, the money’s going

RED SOX 7, WHITE SOX 3

White Sox’s Brett Lawrie (right) tries to score on a sacrifice fly by Austin Jackson but is called out on a throw from Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts to catcher Ryan Hanigan during the fifth inning Thursday night at U.S. Cellular Field. The play was upheld after video review, and the Sox lost, 7-3. Rollins, 37, a two-time World Series participant with the Philadelphia Phillies whose veteran presence has clicked in the Sox clubhouse, wouldn’t be caught talking about a losing streak. Get that bad karma out of here is what he basically said to the topic of an extended skid. “You have to have that vibe,” Roll-

ins said. “As (Phillies manager) Charlie (Manuel) used to say, ‘When you win, everything is easy and you’re going to have fun.’ So it’s up to us in this clubhouse to keep that going every day. “The mission is winning every day and nothing else. If you win, you have fun and the vibe keeps going. If you

WHITE SOX NOTES

Lawrie walking, talking up a storm By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN vanschouwen@suntimes.com CHICAGO – A funny thing happened to Brett Lawrie on his way to the White Sox. He started to draw more walks. Lawrie said Thursday that his walk rate of 14 percent (he had 16 walks going into Thursday’s game against the Boston Red Sox, 12 shy of his total of 28 in 602 plate appearances for the Oakland A’s last season) stems not only from a growing knowledge of pitchers now that he has five seasons under his belt at age 26, but from the selfless, “No I’s” mindset that has grabbed hold of the Sox through their fast start. “It’s paying attention to the situation at hand, being ready to hit for the situation, stepping in the box for the team and not for anything personally,” Lawrie said. “Guy at second, none out, get him over. Attack the situation and know if I can’t get it done the next guy will.” The highest-octane guy in the club-

house, Lawrie said he wasn’t aware he had played every inning at second base and that he doesn’t need a rest. “No. I feel good,” he said. “If I continue doing my treatments and doing the necessary things to make me feel good, I’ll be all right.” Low-key manager Robin Ventura, on the far opposite end of Lawrie’s “3-2-1 blastoff” makeup, joked that he wouldn’t want Lawrie bouncing around on the bench next to him, anyBrett Lawrie way. But he loves what Lawrie delivers. “It’s hard to find guys that bring it like he does every day,” Ventura said. “We’ve got quite a few guys that do it, but to his level of taking care of himself, taking care of his teammates, bringing that kind of energy is unique.” Petricka goes on DL: Right-hander Jake Petricka went on the 15-day disabled list with a right hip impingement,

and right-hander Tommy Kahnle was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. Kahnle was up April 29 through Sunday and pitched one scoreless inning in Baltimore. At Charlotte, he was 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA and one save in nine appearances. Petricka, who pitched most recently May 1, is 0-0 with a 4.50 ERA. His DL assignment is retroactive to Monday. The Sox also made John Danks’ exit official by designating the veteran lefty for assignment and recalling right-hander Erik Johnson, the Thursday starter. This and that: Designated hitter Avisail Garcia returned to the lineup after missing four games, and catcher Alex Avila was set to leave for a minor league rehab assignment. Both had hamstring strains. Avila should be back when the Sox open a road trip in Texas next week. ... With Chris Sale doing the honors behind home plate, the Sox recognized retiring Red Sox star David Ortiz before the game.

CHICAGO – Jimmy Rollins was talking about team chemistry and the good vibrations that were felt in the clubhouse even before the White Sox started winning. On the other end of the conversation, the questioner wanted to know if there is something to be taken from that when a team goes into a slump. So when you drop four or five in a row. … “What did you say?” Rollins asked. If and when you drop four or five in a row. … “I don’t even know what you’re talking about.’’ But you know what I’m saying. “No, I don’t.” OK, then. I think I know what you’re saying. Rollins would have nothing to do with even a thought about a losing streak. The Sox (19-10), who took the best record in the American League into their Thursday night matchup of division leaders but lost, 7-3, were trying to avoid a second straight loss to the Boston Red Sox. They’ve enjoyed winning streaks of six, five and three and haven’t lost more than three in a row.

lose that vision, the vibe will go. No one wins purely on talent.” The Sox sent right-hander Erik Johnson, fresh up from Triple-A Charlotte, to face the Red Sox as the first replacement for released fifth starter John Danks, and Johnson wasn’t much better than Danks had been. Johnson needed 108 pitches to get through five innings, in which he allowed four runs on three walks and eight hits, including home runs to Dustin Pedroia (first inning) and Hanley Ramirez (third inning). The Sox got a home run from Avisail Garcia – a low liner that just cleared the left-field fence – knocking out Henry Owens in the fourth, but they should have had more against the left-hander who walked seven, including Rollins three times in the first four innings. The Sox had the bases full in the third with no outs but Owens escaped by getting Melky Cabrera on a foul pop before striking out Brett Lawrie. The Sox got to within 4-3 in the fifth when backup catcher Hector Sanchez walked on a 10-pitch at-bat with the bases loaded. With one out, Austin Jackson flied to short right and Lawrie was thrown out at home by Mookie Betts. Manager Robin Ventura challenged that catcher Ryan Hanigan got his foot in Lawrie’s slide path, violating the collision rule but the call held up.

12 THE 142ND RUNNING OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY

Baffert returns with under-the-radar horse Mor Spirit never has been worse than 2nd in 7 career starts By BETH HARRIS The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Bob Baffert feels under the radar with his latest horse at the Kentucky Derby. All anyone wants to talk about is American Pharoah, last year’s winner who went on to become the sport’s first Triple Crown champion in 37 years. Outside his barn at Churchill Downs, visitors pull special edition bourbon bottles decorated in Pharoah’s teal silks out of plastic grocery bags for the Hall of Fame trainer to sign. He listens patiently while they recount their memories of the people-loving colt, “who made them feel so good,” Baffert said. He calls it the “American Pharoah hangover.” Clearly it’s the best kind to have. “I don’t know if we’ll ever see one that intelligent, that kind, where I could bring him out here and you guys could be all over him. He didn’t care, he loved human contact,” Baffert said. “Nobody flies that much and runs that well. It’s just crazy that he could handle it. I don’t think we’ll see one that tough.” Earlier in the week, Baffert and wife Jill visited American Pharoah at his new home in Lexington, where the colt is busy producing possible future Derby runners when he’s not greeting the public five days a week. “It was a little emotional. It was

She talks to him in this little high sweet voice and he nickered to her. He’s still really sweet and kind. They let me walk him around and be by myself with him.” Then it was time to get in the car and drive back to reality. Waiting at Baffert’s barn with a

view of the twin spires was Mor Spirit, another horse like Pharoah with a misspelled name. He never has been worse than second in seven career starts. Mor Spirit previously has mixed it up with some of his Derby competition, finishing second to Exaggerator in the Santa Anita Derby and second to Danzing Candy in the San Felipe in his most recent starts.

“Expectations might be a little bit lower,” Baffert said. “Turning for home if he’s right there I know he’ll fight and get a piece of it.” Notice he didn’t say win. “You have a lot of horses here that are pretty equal,” he said. “There’s so much parity, they haven’t really separated themselves. Maybe there will be another American Pharoah. Maybe Derby day some horse is just going to step up and say, ‘Hey, I’m the one.’ ” That’s what Pharoah did last year, setting Baffert and his family, owner Ahmed Zayat, jockey Victor Espinoza and the stable help on a historic journey that captured the public’s imagination in a way horse racing rarely does anymore. “When Victor came off him after the Breeders’ Cup,” Baffert said, “I told him we’ll never have another American Pharoah.” Still, he’s always searching. All of Baffert’s other Derby candidates fell by the wayside for one reason or another this winter, leaving Mor Spirit still standing. He’ll be ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens. “He’s done everything well since he’s been here,” the trainer said. “He really likes the surface and that’s very important.” The last time a Baffert horse started the Kentucky Derby from post 17 was Point Given in 2001, with Stevens aboard. They finished fifth as the 9-5 favorite that Saturday in May before going on to win the Preakness and Belmont as well as Horse of the Year honors. No horse ever has won the Derby from that post, where Mor Spirit landed. “We’ll just have to make history again this year,” Baffert said.

Pletcher sends out 2 horses in quest for 2nd Derby win By MIKE FARRELL The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Todd Pletcher, Bob Baffert and Doug O’Neill are the only trainers in this year’s Kentucky Derby with previous victories in the race. Baffert got his fourth Derby last year with American Pharoah, who went on to sweep the Triple Crown. A win by Mor Spirit on Saturday would move Baffert within one of the record held by Ben Jones. O’Neill has the favorite this time in the undefeated Nyquist. O’Neill is 1 for 4 in the Derby, winning with I’ll Have Another in 2012. It’s been leaner for Pletcher – not

from a lack of trying. Pletcher captured the 2010 Derby with Super Saver, his lone winner from 43 runners. That total ranks second only to D. Wayne Lukas, a four-time Derby winner who has saddled 48 Derby horses. Pletcher, who has run as many as five in one Derby, tries again with a pair of 15-1 shots: Todd Pletcher Outwork and Destin. “I think we have two really nice horses who are doing really well,” Pletcher said. “I think both horses are going to run their races. It would be bold to say they were going to win, but I think both are coming up to it well

enough to run their best race.” Neither horse has generated much pre-Derby excitement. Both have excellent records and will be ridden by top jockeys. Hall of Famer John Velazquez has the mount on Outwork. Javier Castellano, the leading money winner in the nation, rides Destin. Both won stakes in their final preps. Outwork captured the Wood Memorial last month, improving his record to 3 for 4. The lone defeat was a second-place finish to stablemate Destin in the Tampa Bay Derby on March 12. Destin has not run since, an unusually long gap of almost two months. “We felt this gives him the best

chance to win the Kentucky Derby,” Pletcher said. “Putting another race in between that and the Derby might not allow him to make another move forward to continue on the path he was on. Everybody was comfortable with leaving out a significant race in between. You couldn’t do it with a lot of horses.” Pletcher, 48, has won the Eclipse Award as leading trainer seven times, taking home the honor most recently in 2014. Pletcher isn’t the only trainer with multiple horses in this Derby. Chad Brown sends out the duo of My Man Sam and Shagaf, both at 20-1. Steve Asmussen saddles a pair of 10-1 shots: Creator and Gun Runner.
