MAKING THINGS EQUAL McHenry County experts suggest ways to help narrow pay gap

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com Despite men and women entering the workforce after graduating college having comparable experience, women are paid 79 cents for every dollar paid to men, according to a report from the Economic Policy Institute.

And while research, such as a report from the American Association of University Women, has shown that the gap has narrowed since the 1970s, a gap still exists, and starts affecting women right out of college.

“Once you get out of college, if you’re already starting at a lower salary than your male counterpart, then that has a snowball effect or a domi-

no effect,” said Jo-An Takamoto Sabonjian, state policy chairwoman for AAUW. The Economic Policy Institute analyzed employment, enrollment and wage trends of college graduates 21 to 24 years old who are not enrolled in further schooling.

According to the report, recently graduated men earned about 8.1 percent more in 2016 than in 2000, while their female counterparts earned 6.8 less than in 2000, noting that men at the top of the wage distribution could account for the discrepancy.

HUNTLEY

Habitat for Humanity moves family into home

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – When he spoke at the dedication ceremony for the Pinto family’s new home on Saturday, Jesus Rodarte served as evidence of the good Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County could do.

Rodarte moved into a Habitat for Humanity house in Harvard on Christmas day and said his family has been able to save money while settling into the new house.

On Saturday, he was in Huntley to help dedicate the home he helped rehabilitate for his sister and brother-inlaw’s family.

“We want to help other people because we think it’s important,” Rodarte said. “This program really works for people who have low income.”

The home at 11213 Myrtle St., which Executive Director Jerry Monica said had been vacant for two years, now belongs to Pascuala and Jaime Pinto, who have two college-aged daughters.

The couple, who formerly lived in Woodstock, said they were thankful for the home and to be able to pay a mortgage instead of rent.

“Once you pay the rent, it’s gone,” Pascuala Pinto said through a translator. “This is different.”

Earlier on Saturday, Habitat also dedicated a McHenry home and kicked off rehabilitations of homes in Woodstock and Harvard.

Habitat homes are sold to families

who qualify and are willing to make a down payment, put in hundreds of hours of sweat equity labor and can make a monthly mortgage payment, according to Habitat’s website. The homes are sold with a no-interest loan, and they are built or rehabbed by volunteers.

The program requires each adult moving into a home to put in 250 hours of labor, a standard the Pintos far exceeded. Service coordinator Kathy Haupt said the couple started working on the home as soon as they were accepted to the program and never stopped once volunteers began work on the house in January.

Volunteers also attended the ceremony and enjoyed a lunch on the Pintos’ front lawn. Monica said the organization, which owns properties around the county that could be rehabbed, is in need of volunteers and could begin working on four houses at a time if it had the manpower.

Construction volunteers need no previous experience, Monica said. Habitat also needs professional volunteers to serve on its committees, volunteers to work at its ReStore shops in Woodstock and McHenry, and donations to those stores.

“This is the payoff of everything we’ve done,” Monica said. “I always tell people when I hire them, ‘You’re really not working at Habitat thinking you’re going to get rich.’ You really need to get something else out of it, and this is what you get out of it right here.”

Illinois court could reinstate state’s attorney malicious prosecution suit

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An Illinois appellate court panel could reinstate McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi’s malicious prosecution lawsuit.

Attorneys for Bianchi argued before the panel on May 12 that manufacturing evidence should not be protected under absolute immunity granted to prosecutors.

Bianchi and his secretary, Joyce Synek, were first indicted in September 2010, stemming from allegations that Bianchi was doing political work on taxpayer time. He was later indicted in February 2011 on misconduct charges.

A judge threw out all counts against Synek and Bianchi after two bench trials in 2010 and 2011 without the defense ever having to call a witness.

Bianchi’s lawsuit accuses Thomas McQueen, who was appointed a special prosecutor in the case by now-retired McHenry County Judge Gordon Graham, of manufacturing false evidence

and concealing other evidence that would have acquitted Bianchi. The suit also addresses Quest Consultants, a forensic computer firm contracted by the special prosecutor to assist in the investigation. The lawsuit alleges malicious prosecution, distress and defamation.

A federal judge previously dismissed the lawsuit in 2014, citing that the federal civil rights suit would be denied because both defendants were acquitted and therefore did not suffer due process violations.

Attorney Tracy Stanker argued that Bianchi and members of his staff were arrested based on information that was “fabricated and manufactured” during two separate investigations. She said the defendants in the case were not state employees at the time of the investigations, and therefore should not be granted immunity.

“The defendants actions were not done for purpose of pursuing justice,” she said before the panel. “They didn’t make mistakes. They fabricated evidence.”

Steven Puiszis, a defense attorney for McQueen, said his client was appointed as a special prosecutor by the court’s order on more than one occasion. As a special prosecutor, McQueen would then become an employee of the state which gives him the absolute immunity protection for all assistant state’s attorneys.

“The only way McQueen could be involved at all is because of the appointment by Judge Graham,” Puiszis said before the panel.

A Winnebago County judge acquitted McQueen in January 2014 of contempt of court charges in Bianchi’s prosecution but said he believed McQueen ignored his legal duty by withholding witness statements and emails, calling his actions “repugnant.”

Henry Tonigan, the other special prosecutor appointed to the case, settled the lawsuit Bianchi filed against him for $157,500 in July 2012, without admitting to any fault.

The panel took the case under advisement for a decision at a later date.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The recently announced partnership between Centegra Health System and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago could bring pediatric sub-specialists to McHenry County, Centegra officials said.

Hadley Streng, Centegra’s vice president of strategy and development, said the new partnership will enhance an already existing relationship with Lurie.

Centegra began working with Lurie cardiologists last summer on a remote basis, Streng said, to interpret EKGs and other heart scans for young patients. The partnership has since grown to include referrals to Lurie pediatricians for follow-ups to concussion care.

Streng said Centegra saw the opening of the new Huntley hospital, which is slated for an August opening, as an opportunity to bring an on-site Lurie presence to McHenry County.

“That was the ultimate goal: providing that consistent around-the-clock care within our community,” Streng said.

She said a pediatric cardiologist will begin working some days at the Huntley

hospital in the fall, though officials are still working through the details of how frequent visits will be. Having sub-specialists on site could mean that families who travel to Chicago for medical care can access that care without the commute.

There also will be a constant presence of pediatricians at the new hospital for inpatient care.

“If a child is admitted, there would be a pediatrician from Lurie on site to watch over care 24/7,” Streng said. “If a parent brings a child into the emergency department and wants a Lurie hospitalist to consult on that patient, we have the ability to do that as well.”

She said pediatricians also would be available to consult on care for newborns.

Streng said this will be the 16th partnership Lurie has forged. At other sites, she said, the hospital has started with a small presence that has grown over time to meet the needs of the community.

While Lurie has an affiliation with Northwestern Medicine, Streng said this partnership has been in the works since before Centegra announced it was discussing a possible merger with Northwestern Memorial HealthCare.

• PAY GAP

“Unfortunately, what’s driving pay differentials may not always be rational.”

Continued from page 3 as a junior staff accountant, she felt like she couldn’t ask what others in the office were making.

“I think it’s such a taboo thing, and I don’t know if it was the way I was brought up, I almost feel rude,” said Wagner, who graduated from Carthage College in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and Asian studies.

Now, as a manager for her family’s business, Minuteman Press, 835 S. Virginia Road, Wagner said that when she hires people she is transparent in what the business can offer, and determines who she hires based on skill.

Terrence Bishop, associate professor in the department of management of the Northern Illinois University College of Business, said he is an advocate for employers being transparent on the strategy behind their pay differentials.

“Unfortunately, what’s driving pay differentials may not always be rational,” Bishop said.

Factors that should drive wages include internal equity, or what the job requires as far as knowledge, skills abilities and other characteristics; the supply and demand of the market; and performance, Bishop said.

And while salary might not be brought up in initial interviews, women and men should know their worth, and be prepared to negotiate for a fair

Samantha Wagner, business manager at Minuteman Press, assists customer Tom McDermott. Although more women are graduating from American colleges and universities, they are still being paid less than their male counterparts when they enter the workforce. salary, he said.

“If a job applicant knows their worth in the labor market, and recognizes that an offer is sub-market, they should point that out and bring their data,” Bishop said.

Bishop said that when looking at the disparity between the pay of women and men, there’s a complex set of forces that contribute to it.

“Clearly part of the gender equity pay gap is driven by structural discriminatory forces, so now what per-

centage, it’s really hard to pin that down,” Bishop said.

One way AAUW helps women close the gap is through its salary negotiation workshops that give women strategies to better negotiate for equal pay, according to their website.

“Men are rewarded for being aggressive and women sometimes are not,” said Carol Heisler, state president for AAUW Illinois.

Heisler, who lives in Crystal Lake, said that she believes she has made

less than her male counterparts in past jobs, but it’s hard to tell what coworkers are making.

While laws have been signed to stop gender discrimination in pay, Heisler said, it’s still there.

That’s why the AAUW also advocates for the Paycheck Fairness Act to improve the Equal Pay Act, which hasn’t been updated since 1963, according to AAUW’s website.

The third piece in helping to close the gap, according to AAUW, is for companies to monitor and address gender-based pay differences.

Wagner said that even if women know their worth and fight for a fair salary, they still may get the short end of the stick. But she said she encourages other women to not settle if they’re unhappy with how they’re being paid or treated at a company.

“I think that sometimes women sell themselves short because they feel lucky if they get hired,” Wagner said.

“Instead of, ‘You earned it, own it.’”

“

“Talented, funny, spirited, hardworking – I could go on and on describing this year’s graduating class. I think more than anything, however, we are about collaboration. In my four years at Jacobs High School, we have developed an atmosphere of unity – be it in classroom, through student organizations or sports. Of course, we can be competitive, but not one of us feel as if it is over our head to provide a helping hand to someone who needs it.”

The Franke House, 103 W. Algonquin Road, was demolished recently.

The village had been trying to get someone to buy and relocate the historic property, but received no bids on the house.

Algonquin demolishes Franke House, making way for redevelopment

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The Franke House at 103 W. Algonquin Road has been demolished after the village did not receive any bids for the purchase and relocation of the historic property.

The Village Board approved the demolition of the building at its meeting Tuesday by a 5-0 vote, overruling the Historic Commission’s vote against its destruction at an earlier public hearing.

Community Development Director Russ Farnum said the board’s reasoning was that the parcel sits on one of the key redevelopment parcels outlined in the village’s downtown plan.

“If that block were lined with good, solid buildings, I don’t think we would’ve ever proposed redevelopment of that block,” Farnum said. “It’s kind of an anomaly here. It’s the one good structure in that redevelopment area, unfortunately.”

The home was built in 1911 by businessman and carpenter Christ Franke and had been home to several busi-

nesses, most recently a psychic reader.

The demolition cost $16,000 as part of a previously approved contract. The Village Board previously approved demolition of the two structures behind the house for $11,000.

The village used eminent domain to acquire the property as part of a larger area targeted for redevelopment. Farnum said the village also owns two lots at the other end of the block where an auto shop and dry cleaner used to be.

There are lots in between that are owned by Luck Partnership, Farnum said. The village does not yet have a specific strategy for redevelopment of the lot, but he said any future plans would require collaboration with that property owner.

He said the village already has cleaned environmental contaminants out of those lots.

The village’s Downtown Revitalization Plan says the southeast corner of Main Street and Algonquin Road “should be combined and redeveloped for new restaurant, retail and/or service uses, with parking located to the rear of stores and shops.”

McHENRY – A woman and a 3-year-old boy were taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons after a crash in McHenry on Saturday afternoon, a fire official said.

McHenry Township Fire Protection District Capt. Joe Foreman said a pickup truck and a sedan collided about 12:45 p.m. in the intersection of Bull Valley and Crystal Lake roads.

The woman and child, who were in the car, went to the hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening. The driver of the pickup truck, the only person in the vehicle, was not injured, Foreman said.

McHenry police also were at the scene and diverted traffic around the vehicles, he said.

HAMPSHIRE – A Streamwood man was killed in a Saturday crash involving two motorcycles in Hampshire Township, Kane County officials said.

John A. Peneschi, 49, died in the crash, which happened at 3:57 p.m. Saturday on Brier Hill Road south of Berner Road, according to a release from Kane County Sheriff’s Lt. Chris Collins.

Police said Peneschi was riding a 2003 Harley-Davidson as part of a larger group of motorcycles traveling north on Brier Hill Road south of Berner Road when two of the motorcycles had difficulty navigating a curve and left the road.

The other riders in the group stopped to help them, and both injured drivers were transported to St. Joseph Hospital in Elgin, where Peneschi was pronounced dead.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing, and no charges have been filed, but police believe speed may be a contributing factor in the crash.

The driver of the other motorcycle that crashed, 27-year-old Vince Cincinello of Bloomingdale, was treated for injuries that were not life-threatening after the crash.

Kane County Sheriff’s deputies were assisted at the scene by Hampshire police

and fire personnel from Burlington and Pingree Grove.

The road remained closed for several hours after the crash as authorities investigated.

Streamwood man killed in Hampshire-area motorcycle crash

Big R could open at former LITH Dominick’s site

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Village trustees will consider a proposed sales tax sharing agreement that could bring a Big R department store to the former Dominick’s building on Randall Road.

BKK Properties LLC is in the process of buying the vacant store with the intent of leasing it to Central Big R Stores Inc., according to village documents.

Big R sells goods such as women and men’s apparel, lawn and gardening tools, fo A P r l M ace us ic

hunting and fishing equipment, home improvement gear and pet supplies.

A memo written by Village Administrator Jerry Sagona said the project initially would create 45 full-time jobs and generate an estimated $160,000 in yearly sales tax. The company has 18 stores in central Illinois and northern Indiana, according to its website.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the Committee of the Whole will consider an economic incentive agreement that would split sales tax revenue between the developer and village until the developer has been

paid $500,000.

The tax-sharing agreement would offset the $2.1 million cost of refurbishing and expanding the building, documents said. The company plans to add an 8,000-square-foot warehouse, repair the parking lot and replace the HVAC systems, among other repairs.

The developer initially proposed a $500,000 sharing agreement on April 15, revised the request to $750,000 on May 3 and agreed to reduce the request back to $500,000 after further discussions.

ing agreement of $322,000 for a Big R store there, and McHenry approved a $400,000 agreement for the store that opened in November. Sagona’s document said the higher request is justified by the cost of the property and renovations.

Economic development coordinator George Hahne previously said the developer hoped to have the 80,000-square-foot store open by Oct. 15.

Two representatives of the developer will be at Tuesday’s meeting to answer questions, according to village documents.

The project is slated to involve a roughly 7,200-square-foot addition to the north side of the school. A total of seven classrooms will be added, two of which likely will be used to facilitate special education. The others likely will house upper elementary classes and potentially art.

With two of the long-used mobile classrooms eliminated, only one will be left after the completion of the project, Davis said. The use of that one likely will switch from facilitating special education to housing band lessons, he said.

“We’ll get construction scheduled for right after the school year, about the end of this month,” Davis said.

According to the Illinois Report Card, the one-school district has an enrollment of about 310 students.

Renewing lines of credit are not eligible. The Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) are accurate as of 4/29/16. The total term of the Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is 240 months. During the first 10 years, the “Draw Period”, the APR is a variable rate based on an index of the highest Prime Rate reported in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal (the “WSJ Prime”), plus a margin based on the amount of the line. However, for the first 12 months from the date of the loan there is an introductory rate of 2.99% APR which is not based on the index and margin used for later adjustments. For the remaining 9 years the terms will be as follows. On 4/1/16, the WSJ Prime Rate was 3.50% resulting in the following APRs: $10,000.00 - $99,999.99: 4.50% (Prime+1.00%), $100,000.00 - $249,999.99: 4.00% (Prime+.50%), $250,000.00 - $499,999.99: 4.00% (Prime + .50%), $500,000.00 + : 3.99% (Prime + .25%) based on a 3.99% floor. The APR may vary based on the use of auto-debit. Auto-debit discount will not apply during the introductory rate period or when APR is at floor rate during “Repayment Period.” The minimum APR is 3.99% and the maximum APR is 20.00%. Rates will change on the 1st day of the statement cycle following a Prime Rate change. Interest only minimum payments required during the Draw Period. During the “Repayment Period”, the remaining 10 years, the APR is a variable rate based on the WSJ Prime + 1.00% and will be calculated 45 days prior to the initial maturity of the Draw Period, subsequent changes will occur on the 1st day of the statement cycle following a Prime Rate change. The minimum APR is 3.99% and the maximum APR is 20.00%. During the Repayment Period, monthly principal and interest payments will be required to fully amortize the loan. There is an annual fee of $50, but will be waived for the first year. Offer applies to lines secured by owner occupied, one-to four-family residences with a maximum of 80% Loan to Value (LTV). Offer is not available for purchase money loans. Property insurance required and flood insurance may be required. Consult a tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest. An early termination fee of the lesser of 2% of the initial credit limit or $500.00 will be charged if account is closed within 24 months of the loan date. No early termination fee in Wisconsin. There may be certain third party fees for entities such as appraisers, credit reporting firms, and government agencies to open the account, which generally total between $0.00 and $1,500.00. Pricing shown assumes borrower meets underwriting guidelines, otherwise a higher APR may apply or credit may not be available. See your loan officer for details. Offer subject to change without notice. Offer expires 9/30/16.

MARENGO – The Riley Community Consolidated School District 18 board gave a nod of approval Wednesday to issuing bonds, which the superintendent said will pay for a building project meant to eliminate two mobile classrooms.

After recently accepting a low bid of $927,333 from Marengo-based Brackmann Construction Co., the board authorized the issuance of up to $1 million in general obligation bonds, Superintendent Jim Davis said.

He said the district plans to use incoming general state aid to pay off the debt in an estimated four to five years.

Davis said this was possible after the district has accumulated a significant fund balance to keep up on annual financial responsibilities.

Right now, the projected interest rate is about 4 to 5 percent, but “we won’t know that for sure until it actually goes out,” Davis said.

Photo provided by the McHenry County Historical Society

The month of May is many things, but it is especially a period of celebration for thousands of McHenry County graduating students. This is a picture of St. Joseph Catholic School’s 1976 eighth-grade graduating class from Harvard. The school was built in 1915 and dedicated on July 4, 1916. The school, which has a shared history with the 1866 parish church nearby, educated local Catholic and Protestant children – regardless of ethnicity or financial status.

In March this year, the Rockford Diocese and church officials announced the school would close effective May 24 – less than two months shy of its 100th anniversary. Higher costs, shrinking revenues and declining enrollment were the reasons cited. In 1954 the average enrollment was about 240 students. By 1975, it had fallen to 99; and today it is down to 60.

Wheeling and Dealing The good news is that increasing numbers of individuals have taken up bicycling for the beneficial effects it has on body and spirit. However, this intensified interest has also come with a downside in that bicyclerelated injuries have dramatically increased since 1998. This is especially true of cyclists over the age of 45,who accounted for 23 percent of reported injuries in 1998 and now account 42 percent all bicycle-related injuries. In addition, approximately two-thirds of cycling injuries requiring hospitalization currently involve people over the age of 45. With this in mind, cyclists should be sure to outfit themselves with the proper gear and be mindful of dangers posed by motorists and rough roads.

The most common area for injuries in cyclists is the knee, from possible overuse, trauma and the cycling position.

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press PEORIA – Illinois Republicans cheered calls for unity at the party’s state convention on Saturday even as some top elected officials tiptoed around the name likely to top the GOP ticket: Donald Trump.

The billionaire businessman won Illinois’ GOP presidential preference vote, and the overwhelming majority of the state’s delegates to this summer’s Republican National Convention are Trump supporters. Many waved signs with his name and sported campaign hats and stickers at Saturday’s event in Peoria.

But Trump’s controversial comments about women and minorities have been cause for concern for some Republicans, who worry that aligning with him will hurt GOP candidates further down the ballot in Democratic-leaning Illinois.

That resulted in a party pep rally that had no mention of the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee until almost an hour into the meeting.

U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, who’s in a tough race against Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, skipped the only convention event that was open to the media. Gov. Bruce Rauner spoke for almost 20 minutes without mention-

Judge wants Chicago mayor to testify on code of silence

CHICAGO – Attorneys for the city of Chicago have told a federal judge they are prepared to admit to a jury that a code of silence exists within the police department in an attempt to keep Mayor Rahm Emanuel off the witness stand.

But U.S. District Judge Gary Feinerman said Friday that he still would ask Emanuel to testify in the case of two whistleblower police officers suing the city, explaining that the mayor’s testimony could offer “much more texture” on the issue.

Legal experts said it was likely the city would settle rather than allow Emanuel to take the stand in the case, which is set to go to trial May 31. But they said the city’s willingness to have attorneys formally acknowledge a code of silence in court was a

“You guys know primaries are brutally hard, and this primary season has been really hard up and down the ticket,” Rauner told the crowd of about 1,000. “The good news is it’s in the past.

Now is the time to come together. Now is the time to unite.”

Both Kirk and Rauner have previously said they would support Trump if he is the nominee, though neither plans to attend the national convention in Cleveland. A top Rauner aide also has said the governor won’t endorse Trump.

significant step after years of denials.

Emanuel himself brought up the code of silence problem in a speech in December to the City Council in the midst of protests and calls for his resignation over the death of Laquan McDonald, the black teenager who was killed by a white officer in a shooting caught on police dashcam video.

Emanuel spokesman Adam Collins referred to that speech in a statement and said the mayor wouldn’t have anything more to offer in court testimony on the issue of officers keeping quiet to protect fellow officers accused of misconduct.

SPRINGFIELD – The Department of Public Health is reporting a confirmed case of measles in northern Illinois.

Shah said the person visited several locations in northern Illinois, including hotels and a Northern Illinois University

Naming rights shopped to fund Hancock plaza project

CHICAGO – Another iconic Chicago skyscraper may be in line for a new name.

The owner of the John Hancock Center is shopping the naming rights for the 47-year-old building to pay for a proposed redevelopment of a plaza in front of the Michigan Avenue building.

Stephen Hearn presented his plan to the Magnificent Mile Association, a nonprofit group promoting businesses along North Michigan Avenue. It included a rendering showing where a sponsor’s name could appear in 3-foot-high letters near the third floor of the 100-floor tower.

presidential campaign, was one of the few GOP officeholders who specifically called for the crowd to support Trump.

“The people have spoken, and that’s what they want,” LaHood said. “When we think about uniting, our worst candidate is better than the alternative any day of the week.”

Many of the convention’s attendees were more enthusiastic.

Diante Johnson, a 20-year-old college student from Danville, was a regional coordinator for Ben Carson’s presidential campaign but said after Carson got out of the race he concluded, “We’ve got to have Trump.”

“His business speaks for itself and his wealth speaks for itself,” Johnson said. “We need a change.”

Much of Saturday’s focus was on picking up seats in the Illinois Legislature, where Democrats control both chambers, and continuing Rauner’s fight for term limits and business-friendly legislation. Illinois is approaching a full year without a state budget, and lawmakers are far from agreement on what it will take to get one for this year or the next fiscal year that begins July 1.

Rauner has said he won’t sign off on a tax increase to close a multibillion-dollar budget hole until Democrats support some of his priorities, such as weakening labor union power. Democrats say that will hurt the middle class.

Hearn said selling the naming rights is essential to getting the $10 million plaza project off the ground.

Woman killed, man hurt near police headquarters

CHICAGO – Chicago’s police superintendent said the fatal shooting of a woman leaving a coffee shop near police headquarters Friday is an indication of how brazen violent offenders have become.

Superintendent Eddie Johnson said that 49-year-old Yvonne Nelson, a dispatcher at the city’s 311 Center, was not the intended target. The man in his 20s, who Johnson said was a documented street gang member, was shot several times and seriously wounded. The shooting occurred as Johnson and other police officials were at police headquarters touting the arrests of dozens of gang members in a sweep with federal agents. Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the shooter was chasing the intended target when he opened fire. He said extra police has been assigned to the area to investigate the crime.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Pentagon: U.S. airstrike targets Taliban leader

WASHINGTON – The U.S. conducted an airstrike Saturday against Taliban leader Mullah Mansour, the Pentagon said, and a U.S. official said Mansour was believed to have been killed.

Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said the attack occurred in a remote region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. He said the U.S. was studying the results of the attack.

But a U.S. official not authorized to discuss the operation publicly said Mansour and a second male combatant accompanying him in a vehicle were probably killed.

The official said the attack was carried out by unmanned aircraft operated by U.S. Special Operations Forces. The official said the operation occurred at about 6 a.m. EDT southwest of the town of Ahmad Wal, and was authorized by President Barack Obama.

Top U.S. commander makes secret trip to Syria NORTHERN SYRIA – The top U.S. commander for the Middle East secretly visited Syria on Saturday for a first-hand look at efforts to build cohesive alliances of Arab, Kurd and other local fighters to defeat the Islamic State.

Army Gen. Joseph Votel, who is head of U.S. Central Command, became the highest-ranking U.S.

military officer known to have entered Syria since the U.S. began its campaign to counter the Islamic State in 2014.

Votel flew into northern Syria and spent nearly 11 hours in the country. He met with U.S. military advisers working with Syrian Arab fighters, and conferred with leaders of the Syrian Democratic Forces, an umbrella group of Kurdish and Arab fighters supported by the U.S. A small group of reporters accompanied Votel on a flight from Iraq under ground rules that, for security reasons, prohibited disclosing his visit until after he had left Syria.

Obama begins Asia trip to boost trade, cooperation

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama departed Saturday on a weeklong, 16,000-mile trip to Asia, part of his effort to pay more attention to the region and boost economic and security cooperation.

He’ll spend three days in Vietnam, with stops in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, for meetings with leaders, a speech on U.S.-Vietnam relations, visits to cultural treasures and sessions with civic leaders and entrepreneurs. From Vietnam, he heads to Japan for a summit of the Group of Seven industrialized nations and a historic visit to Hiroshima.

Clinton: Trump’s gun policies ‘dangerous’

By SERGIO BUSTOS The Associated Press FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Donald Trump’s gun policies are “not just way out there” but “dangerous” and would make America less safe, Hillary Clinton said Saturday.

“This is someone running to be president of the United States of America – a country fac“We have a ing a gun violence epimoral demic – and he’s talking about more guns in our obligation to schools, he’s talking about more hatred and protect our division in our streets,” children, no the likely Democratic presidential nominee matter what said of her presumptive zip code they Republican rival. “That’s no way to keep us safe.” live in.”

Clinton’s criticism of the Trump came the day after he slammed her as Hillary Clinton “Heartless Hillary” for backing restrictions on gun ownership in a speech before the National Rifle Association convention in Louisville, Kentucky. Clinton spoke at a conference organized by the Trayvon Martin Foundation to help mothers whose children or other relatives have died from shootings. It was led by Sybrina Fulton, whose 17-year-old son, Trayvon Martin, was fatally shot by neighborhood watch volun-

teer George Zimmerman in 2012. She has campaigned with Clinton during the Democratic presidential primaries.

“The reason why I stand with her is because she first stood with me,” Fulton said before introducing Clinton to more than 200 people packed inside a hotel banquet room.

Queen Thompson Brown, a Miami mother whose son was the victim of gun violence in 2006 and who has mentored Fulton, said she and others do not want to take away guns from Americans but hope to “promote common sense gun laws.”

Clinton praised the courage of Fulton and others who had suffered the loss of loved ones to gun violence or while in police custody.

“We have a moral obligation to protect our children, no matter what zip code they live in,” she said.

She then turned her attention to Trump and his gun policies.

“If you want to imagine what Trump’s America will look like, picture more kids at risk of violence and bigotry, picture more anger and fear,” she said.

Clinton repeated her pledge to fight the powerful National Rifle Association lobby, saying “we will not be silenced, we will not be intimidated.” The gun rights organization endorsed Trump, even though he had previously supported measures like an assault weapons ban that the NRA vigorously opposes. The group applauded Trump’s call for ending “gun-free zones” across the country.

CAIRO – Leaked flight data showing trouble in the cockpit and smoke in a plane lavatory are bringing into focus the chaotic final moments of EgyptAir Flight 804, including a three-minute period before contact was lost as alarms on the Airbus 320 screeched one after another.

Officials caution it’s still too early to say what happened to the aircraft – France’s foreign minister said Saturday that “all the hypotheses are being examined” – but mounting evidence points to a sudden, dramatic catastrophe that led to its crash into the eastern Mediterranean early Thursday.

The Egyptian military on Saturday released the first images of aircraft debris plucked from the sea, including personal items and damaged seats.

Egypt is leading a multi-nation effort to search for the plane’s black boxes – the flight data and cockpit voice recorders – and other clues that could help explain its sudden plunge into the sea.

“If they lost the aircraft within three minutes, that’s very, very quick,” aviation security expert Philip Baum said.

“They were dealing with an extremely

aerial footage of an unidentified navy ship followed by a speedboat heading toward floating debris.

Flight 804 left from Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport on Wednesday night en route to Cairo with 66 people aboard.

Greek officials said at 2:24 a.m. local time the flight entered the Athens sector of Greek airspace. Twenty-four minutes later, controllers chatted with the pilot, who appeared to be in good spirits.

In Greek, the pilot quipped: “Thank you.”

At 3:12 a.m., the plane passed over the Greek island of Kasos before heading into the eastern Mediterranean, according to flight data maintained by FlightRadar24.

Less than 15 minutes later, about midway between Greece and Egypt, a sensor detected smoke in a lavatory and a fault in two of the plane’s cockpit windows, according to leaked flight data published by The Aviation Herald.

Messages like these “generally mean the start of a fire,” said Sebastien Barthe, a spokesman for France’s air accident investigation agency. But he warned against inferring too much more from the reading. “Everything else is pure conjecture.”

Support local events Now that spring is here, the weather’s warmed up and summer’s just around the corner, the schedule begins for the dozens of outdoor activities McHenry County communities have to offer.

Whether it’s cruise nights, festivals, Memorial Day and Fourth of July parades, concerts in the park and more, there’s not a lack For the record of fun things to do locally.

Keep local outdoor events in Harvard Milk mind when planning your sumDays, celebrating mer entertainment options. its 75th anniversary this year, unofficially kicks off the festival season in McHenry County. Its festival grounds open June 2, but there are many events scheduled leading up to that big opening.

Cruise nights kick off this week in McHenry.

Many other area towns, including Cary, Huntley, Woodstock and Johnsburg, also host cruise nights.

As we’ve said in this space in years past, there are many great reasons why area residents should support these local festivals. That includes the volunteers, some of whom undoubtedly are your friends, neighbors, work colleagues, fellow church parishioners or even relatives.

For months, dozens of dedicated volunteers have been working countless hours to make sure Milk Days and these other great events run smoothly and participants have a great time.

These events also are a great place to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones.

They’re usually kid-friendly. The festivals include carnival rides and games and other family-friendly entertainment.

Many festivals offer live music played by local musicians. They feature great food and beverages from local restaurants.

And they’re relatively inexpensive and always close to home.

The money you spend at these events stays local. It costs money to put on each of these festivals, cruise nights, concerts and other events, so much of the money raised during this year’s events will help to pay for next year’s. Some proceeds even go to support local social service agencies and other good causes.

Keep these local outdoor events in mind when planning your summer entertainment options.

Support local by spending – both time and money – locally.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Bill will recognize female war pilots It took an act of Congress to repair then-Secretary of the Army John McHugh’s poor judgment about our country’s debt to women pilots who served in the Army Air Force during World War II. Thanks to public outcry and bipartisan support, a bill Congress has forwarded to President Barack Obama again will give members of the Women Airforce Service Pilots the right to have their cremated remains buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

To honor the service of these female pilots, who were known as WASPs, the president should sign the bill.

The silver lining in this bureaucratic bungle is the opportunity to highlight the story of an impactful group of women who were almost overlooked by history and their country.

For two years during WWII, the WASPs conducted noncombat flights in the U.S., which freed up more men to fly combat missions overseas. There were 1,074 wom-

en who trained as military pilots so they could ferry aircraft from factories to military installations.

They also moved planes and soldiers between bases.

Although they were not classified at the time as service members, their work was dangerous, and they were crucial to the overall mission during WWII. Thirty-eight of the women died during their service.

It wasn’t until three decades after the war that their role was properly recognized. When the Air Force announced in the 1970s it would begin training women as pilots, and news media incorrectly reported it would be the first time women were allowed to fly for the U.S. military, surviving members of WASP objected. This led to demands that the women who flew for Army Air Force be classified as veterans.

Despite opposition from groups such as the American Legion, legislation was adopted in 1977 to grant the WASPs veteran status with limited benefits.

This meant the female pilots could have their ashes placed at Arlington – at least until McHugh reviewed that benefit in 2015 and determined it did not apply to them.

Among those criticizing McHugh’s ruling was U.S. Rep. Martha McSally, an Arizona Republican who was the first American woman to fly in combat after the Pentagon’s 1991 decision to lift the restriction on women in combat roles.

“I think it’s ridiculous that at a time when the Pentagon has decided to open up every single military position to women, which I support, they are closing the gates to Arlington to the pioneers who paved the way,” McSally said.

Today it’s estimated about 100 members of the WASPs survive.

Even though the military failed to properly honor them during their service to the country, they deserve now to be known as veterans.

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.

Kentucky New Era

VIEWS Sen. Pamela Althoff from local property taxes, while less than 15 percent came from state funds.

To put those numbers in perspective, the state provided 34 percent of Chicago Public Schools’ total revenue while Chicago taxpayers contributed only 52 percent. For years, education funding has fallen on the shoulders of collar county taxpayers, and SB 231 only would increase an already heavy burden.

As we have seen with past reform proposals, this newest formula takes state dollars away from a majority of suburban school children and redirects a bulk of the funding to Chicago. Current data shows Chicago Public Schools stands to benefit from $750 million from the proposal. This bill is nothing more than a CPS bailout, and that is why I

voted against this legislation. Unfortunately, the Senate majority had enough votes to push SB 231 through the Senate, and it now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration.

In the meantime, we can ensure all schools open in the fall by fully funding General State Aid claims in fiscal 2017.

By doing so, schools would receive 100 percent of the funding amount determined by the current funding formula for the first time in seven years.

While fully funding the formula would secure schools in the upcoming year, I continue to support efforts to reform the current school funding formula for the years to follow. It is widely agreed on that a new formula should send more money to low-income and rural schools without taking resources away from other districts. I acknowledge the current system is flawed and believe it necessary that we take the next year to develop a lasting formula that benefits all school districts in the state.

Right now there is an enormous amount of discussion in Springfield on reforming Illinois’ public school education formula, and there are various proposals circulating. It is important that we as legislators continue our commitment to creating a formula that benefits the entire state and provides a lasting solution to existing inadequacies within our current funding formula.

We cannot become immune to this ongoing conversation. We must stay engaged in this issue to better serve our schools, and we need all parties to be at one table establishing a path to one solution.

As the session draws to a close, I am hopeful the General Assembly will see the obligation we have to our schools and children to ensure they open in the fall with the financial help they need and deserve.

To the Editor: Some time ago, I wrote a letter about the death of common sense in this country. I was predictably attacked by so many.

Now we have the latest on the transgender rights as relates in public schools. What other public places will be targeted next and affected – public campgrounds, public health clubs, public pools, public parks, etc.? Where does this stop?

No one is asking – what about the rights of those who do not have confusion with their gender identity? Have we lost our collective minds in this country?

Wagner behind bleachers

To the Editor: In a recent Northwest Herald article, a bonus for Johnnie Thomas, superintendent of High School District 155, was brought to the fore. I, in no way, support bonuses for school administrators, but I felt compelled to address a misconception that was discussed in the article. The debacle of the bleachers at South High School was the responsibility of the previous superintendent, Jill Hawk, and current School Board President Ted Wagner. If any person should be evaluated on the merits of that decision and those that followed, the only one left is Ted Wagner. Please remember this when

he is up for re-election. I will.

Take a stand against taxes

To the Editor: The Northwest Herald’s editorial “No More Tax Hikes” was right on the mark. It is time that we taxpayers take a stand and tell our elected officials enough is enough.

Gov. Bruce Rauner ran for office to stop the status quo. He has fought hard, for a year and a half, to change how Springfield operates. From where I stand, it seems like the only one compromising is the governor. It is time for lawmakers to stop being part of the problem and instead work with the governor to turn this state around.

As a small business owner, I am tired of Springfield overtaxing and overspending.

That attitude is what has gotten our state in this fiscal mess. It is time to pass the governor’s reform ideas, particularly workers’ compensation reform, and make Illinois a great place to do business again.

Remember, without a successful business community there are fewer jobs and fewer taxpayers.

The state of Illinois is in a financial crisis. That is no secret. With a bill backlog of nearly $7 billion and a budget impasse that has entered its 11th month, I cannot blame the people of Illinois for their frustration about what has been going on in Springfield.

But while the budget crisis continues to make headlines, we must not ignore or forget about another significant issue: K-12 education funding.

There is legislation being debated in Springfield proposed by Sen. Andy Manar that would cut funding to 600 school districts in Illinois. Under Senate Bill 231, only 36 percent of districts would see an increase in state funding using his proposed formula. SB 231 would force these school districts to cut programs, lay off staff and increase dependence on local taxpayers.

This legislation would be severely detrimental to suburban taxpayers who already carry the weight of funding our schools. In fiscal 2015, more than 81 percent of suburban school funding came

U.S. tries to get jump on Zika preparations

By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Beg, borrow and steal: Zika preparation involves a bit of all three as federal, state and local health officials try to get a jump on the mosquito-borne virus while Congress haggles over how much money they really need.

With that financing in limbo, health officials are shifting resources and setting priorities – and not just in states where mosquitoes are starting to buzz.

All but six states so far have seen travel-associated cases of Zika.

“Stealing money from myself” is how Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health describes raiding his agency’s malaria, tuberculosis and influenza programs to fund a Zika vaccine.

He needs more cash by the end of June to keep the vaccine on schedule.

And there’s no guarantee those other critical diseases will recoup about $20 million.

“If we don’t get something soon, then we’re going to have a real problem,” Fauci said.

Adding to the stress: What if another health emergency comes along at the

“It’s Zika now, but three months from now, who knows what it might be?” said Dr. Tim Jones, state epidemiologist in Tennessee, where few counties have mosquito eradication efforts.

Yet with funding pleas unanswered,

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shifted $44 million to Zika from emergency preparedness grants that help state and local health departments with crises from flu outbreaks to hurricanes.

“You have to be careful when you take cuts from core infrastructure for the disease of the day,” Tennessee’s Jones said. “That’s a risky way to do things.”

Zika can cause devastating birth defects and fetal death if pregnant women become infected. Mosquitoes aren’t yet spreading Zika in the continental U.S., but the epidemic in Latin America and the Caribbean has experts predicting small outbreaks here as mosquito season heats up.

The more than 540 U.S. cases diagnosed so far involve travel to outbreak areas or sex with infected travelers.

The CDC is tracking the outcomes of 157 Zika-infected pregnant women in the U.S., plus 122 more in U.S. territories.

Three months ago, President Barack Obama requested $1.9 billion in emergency funding to fend off Zika. The House and Senate are arguing over how much to grant – and whether the money should come from cuts to other programs – with no final agreement

in sight. House Republicans say the administration has padded its Zika request.

The Obama administration already shifted nearly $600 million from funds for Ebola flare-ups in West Africa and other accounts. On Friday, the president said lifetime care for a child born with Zika-caused brain damage may cost up to $10 million.

“Add that up. It doesn’t take a lot of cases for you to get to $1.9 billion. Why wouldn’t we want to make that investment now?” Obama said.

Many state and local health departments aren’t waiting, but efforts vary widely.

Florida is no stranger to mosquito-borne outbreaks – it has handled small outbreaks of dengue, carried by the same mosquito as Zika – and is squeezing money out of its usual budget to step up training and traps for areas that need extra help.

Officials opened a Zika information hotline that has fielded more than 1,700 calls since February. Miami-Dade County is stepping up enforcement of standing water violations and statewide, residents are being told to screen windows and rid their property of containers that trap rainwater.

BRIEFS Volcano erupts in western Indonesia, killing 3 villagers

JAKARTA, Indonesia – A volcano in western Indonesian unleashed hot clouds of ash on Saturday, killing three villagers and injuring four others, an official said.

Mount Sinabung in North Sumatra province blasted volcanic ash as high as 2 miles into the sky, said National Disaster Management Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho. He said ash tumbled down the slopes as far as 3 miles westward into a river.

The 8,530-foot-high mountain had been dormant for four centuries before springing to life in August 2010, killing two people and forcing 30,000 to flee.

An eruption in February 2014 killed 16 people.

All the victims of Saturday’s eruption were working on their farms in the village of Gamber, about 2.5 miles away from the slope, or within the danger area. Video images showed dead farm animals covered in dust.

Mount Sinabung is among more than 120 active volcanoes in Indonesia, which is prone to seismic upheaval because of its location on the Pacific “Ring of

Fire,” an arc of volcanoes and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.

73 dead, scores missing in weeklong Sri Lanka storms

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka – Sri Lanka’s government on Saturday raised the death toll from landslides and heavy flooding around the island nation to 73, as soldiers continued searching for scores of people missing since deadly landslides struck hill country several days ago.

In the capital, Colombo, and its suburbs, thousands of homes remained inundated, though there were signs that the waters were receding.

About 243,000 people remained in temporary shelters nationwide.

Soldiers looked for bodies among thick mud deposits in the central district of Kegalle, where landslides swallowed up three villages on Tuesday.

Maj. Gen. Sudantha Ranasinghe, who is coordinating the search, said one body and parts of another were found Saturday. Twenty-one people have been confirmed dead from the landslides in the three villages and 123 others are missing.

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press NEW YORK – The government’s new rules requiring overtime pay for millions of workers have small business owners facing some hard choices.

The regulations issued by the Labor Department last week would double to $913 a week from $455 the threshold under which salaried workers must be paid overtime. In terms of annual pay, the threshold rises to $47,476 from $23,660. The rules take effect Dec. 1.

Many businesses like restaurants, retailers, landscapers and moving companies will have to transition staffers, many of whom are low-level managers, to hourly pay and limit the number of hours these employees work.

That can increase the workload for other staffers, have everyone scrambling to get work done in fewer hours and hurt morale. Some owners say they’ll have to limit hiring, cut services or other costs. Others are turning to technology to try to get work done in less time. And some say they’ll give staffers a raise to get them out of overtime territory.

Chad Brooks expects to switch managers at his eight franchise restaurants to hourly pay, and plans to send them home as soon as their shifts are over.

Other staffers at the Pittsburgh-area Qdoba and Burger 21 franchises will have to pitch in to handle their work.

Brooks already foresees problems, for example, if a customer wants to complain to the manager.

“Guests will be extremely frustrated when they ask, ‘where’s the manager,’ and a worker says, ‘he’s not here,’ ” Brooks says.

Brooks has warned his managers that the change is coming. They’re not happy because they’ll work fewer hours

and take home less pay. And hourly pay in the restaurant business is seen as entry-level compensation, not the salary that managers get as they move up the ladder.

“Everyone coming to work for you wants to be salaried, have that cachet, that status,” Brooks says.

The new rules, which will be revised every three years, aim to increase pay for an estimated 4.2 million workers, including many who work 45, 50 or more hours in a week without extra pay.

Businesses have been on notice about higher overtime costs since last summer, when the government issued proposed regulations. Companies are on the hook not just for time and a-half, but also for higher Social Security and

Medicare taxes employers must pay on all of a staffer’s compensation. The rules don’t cover many employees who are office workers, computer programmers or professionals.

Small businesses lack the large revenue streams and credit lines of bigger companies, so they may struggle to afford the additional overtime costs, particularly those already facing higher minimum wages or increased health care costs.

Some owners will decide that it makes sense to give staffers whose pay is close to the $47,476 threshold a raise rather than face an uncertain overtime bill going forward, says Jonathan Sigel, a labor attorney with the law firm Mirick O’Connell in Worcester, Mas-

sachusetts.

Money isn’t the only issue. Managers used to staying at work until a task is done may feel demoralized when forced to leave work unfinished, says Midge Seltzer, president of Engage PEO, a human resources provider based in Hollywood, Florida.

“Most of the workplace consists of conscientious employees. It’s going to be difficult for them to just throw their hands up and say, ‘I’m done,’” she says.

Whether staffers will earn more or less under the regulations depends on the hourly wage each company sets.

Many companies who expect to pay more already are looking at their budgets for other expenses that can be reduced or eliminated.

Dear Dave: My husband is a recovering heroin addict. He’s been clean for two years, but I still feel we shouldn’t keep cash in the house or give him unsupervised access to a bank account.

He agrees with these precautions, even though he does need a little pocket money from time to time. We’ve also started your plan to try and get control of our finances, so how would you suggest handling a situation like this?

– Meghan Dear Meghan: First of all, congratula-

of your purse, then you’ve got other major issues in your marriage.

I think you need to be on a debit card and the envelope system. I also think you need to be controlling about 98 percent of the money for now. For what he’s doing, I’d work daily cash allowances and expand that to weekly when you’re comfortable with it. Also, ask for some accountability from him as to where the pocket money goes.

Ask him to keep receipts, and turn them in as if he were working for a company and taking a petty cash withdrawal. That holds him accountable for spending it on what he said he was spending it on, and it’s healthy for someone who’s a recovering addict.

When someone’s fresh recovering from being an addict, and especially because heroin is so addicting, I probably wouldn’t let him legally have

access to the household account for a while longer. He can look at it, and you two can make financial decisions together, but you are in control of it.

I wouldn’t want it where he can just reach over and clean out the account if he has a relapse.

Obviously, this guy has gotten some healing, and I’m very proud of you both. Heroin is a big deal and a hard habit to kick. The fact that he has done it this long is awesome!

Dear Dave: I’m going through a divorce that’s about to become final in two weeks. I moved in with my parents temporarily while I save up money to get my own place and start over. I make $30,000 a year, and it looks like I’ll have around $43,000 in debt when the divorce is finalized. Should I pause my debt snowball in order to financially get back on my feet again? – Adam Dear Adam: Yeah, that’s what I would do. There are reasons to pause the debt snowball, and one of those can be going through a divorce. Not only are there expenses, but you may end up with payments you don’t even expect.

I think the motivation and the heart

behind the debt snowball is that you gain momentum and traction, and you do it quickly when you’re in a positive emotional position. You may not have that right now, so I think pressing pause and building up for expenses that may come – plus getting your own place – is a good idea.

Just rent the cheapest spot you can as soon as possible. Then, once you get in there and get your life in operational mode again, you’ll be ready to rock on!

tions on his being clean for two years.

That’s awesome! The longer he stays clean, the more he’ll begin to normalize his mechanical activities with things like money.

I agree with not putting him in charge of large sums of money just yet.

However, we work with addicts all the time at my company, and I don’t agree that you can’t have any money in the house when he has been clean for two years. You might not want a big pile of cash lying around, but there’s no reason you can’t run the envelope system out of your purse. I mean, at this point if you can’t trust him to stay out

Common questions about selling your home Last month, we talked about buyer questions. But with the lack of houses available for sale, it seems like a good time to discuss selling your property.

Sellers have equally as many questions as buyers do, so let’s address a couple of them here.

There’s two questions everyone wants to ask their friendly real estate agent. The first question is, “How’s the market?” The second question is, “What’s my home worth?” The two sound similar enough but they are really separate questions.

In general terms, “the market” is an area comprised of a larger geographic region. That might be as small as your neighborhood, the town, county, state or even the nation, in all seriousness. Often, a media outlet will give a report that “housing is up this month.” They’re talking about the entire nation, but what impact does that have on you? None, right.

The National Association of REALTORS® suggests that’s like depending upon a national weather forecast.

What most of the nation is getting doesn’t mean that’s what weather you’ll be getting. So unless the market data you are receiving is local, it probably is not relevant. And that brings

VIEWS Jim Haisler us to the second question, where the only true answer is “whatever a buyer will pay for it.”

Some websites will give predictions using fancy analytic formulas to determine what your home might be worth, but all of them site some degree of variation, which is also known as their margin of error. In fact, the CEO of one of the most popular websites cited a couple of years ago that his firm’s estimate might be off by as much as 22 percent. So is it worth $100,000 or maybe $122,000? That’s a huge difference.

Probably the best method is to get a “comparison market analysis” (CMA) from a real estate agent. In this study, they will look at what’s on the market today, what was on the market before that either sold or didn’t and consider those homes that are under contract now. Other ways to get an idea of what your home is worth might be to look at a cost analysis. What would it cost to build today? That might be beneficial if you have a slightly used home

to sell where you are competing with the builder still.

The assessor certainly has a value that might provide some guidance.

Owners of investment property might look at NOI value, net return on investment, where emphasis is placed on the potential rent of a property.

Before granting loans on a property, a mortgagor will likely hire an appraiser to give their opinion of value. But for most home sellers, the best bet is to contact your local real estate agent.

Their expert opinion of the area is usually built on years of experience, knowing the market and current trends, as well as having access to the most current information through the multiple listing service.

Sellers might want to know: “How long will it take to sell my home?” Actually, that’s also rather easy to guess for most agents. Again the statistics found in the MLS will give them good insight as to how quickly a properly priced home might sell.

For example, the average days on market for McHenry County in March was 126 days. Your agent should be able to have more defined information for your neighborhood or town as well. Note the comment was “prop-

erly priced.” If you decide you want to try listing your home for a little more than the market might suggest, it might take longer to sell. Agents I talk to highly discourage sellers from doing that because they can too easily taint their home. That is, the market time is a critical indicator. If your home sits on the market “too long” for your neighborhood, quickly your home’s perceived value may drop below what you could have gotten had you priced it right from the beginning.

Again, this idea is very personal to each property and a discussion about pricing strategy is critical to have with your agent.

Personal advice: Your first offer is usually your best offer. More times than not, and there’s always an exception, the first offer you get on your property will be your best. The longer you wait, the less you’ll get, it’s almost guaranteed.

If you have a question or topic you’d like me to cover, please contact me.

VIEWS Kathleen Caldwell turn on your time investment. As my coauthor, Dr. Stephen Covey, wrote, identify your “...Big Rocks...,” the things that are your priorities such as family, career and health. Arrange everything else around them.

Become laser-focused on your goals for this week, this month and the rest of this year. Today, take actions on those goals and gain the confidence that you are using 24 of your 168 for positive good. Ask yourself frequently, “What is the most valuable use of my time right now?” and do something about that insight immediately.

Work when you work. It’s that simple. Avoid time thieves such as social media, idle chit-chat, web surfing and other distractions that can lure you

away from your work. For me, multitasking rarely works well. I must use my willpower to keep focused on the task at hand and follow it through to completion. Throughout the day, I use the 50-10-50 peak productivity strategy of 50 minutes of focused work, followed by a 10 minute rejuvenation break and then resume 50 minutes of concentrated work. During your break, renew your energy by enjoying a healthy snack, a brisk walking meeting or a deep breathing meditation. Set a schedule for checking email and voicemail especially when you are focused on completing a project.

It is estimated that it takes at least 15 minutes to restore your attention after a distraction.

At the end of the business day, take time to reflect and plan for a successful tomorrow. Declare your outcomes in advance. Create a list of necessary tasks. Determine the additional information you need to complete your

projects and how you will use all of your resources. Examine whether you can delegate parts of the project to others to free up time. Be more selective and focused on how to use your 168.

Now is all you have. Time waits for no one. You can operate with peak performance and achieve all the success you desire by appreciating and maximizing your greatest asset, time.

Each of us has been given a valuable asset. It is so unique that once lost, it can never be replaced, reclaimed or recovered. Yet, we are each regularly given 168 of them. They renew every seven days for us to use as we choose. This asset is time, the 168 hours in each and every week of our lives. Our use of this asset largely defines the quality of our lives.

Time either promotes you or exposes you. Your success is largely determined by your mastery of your time and how you perform under the demands (or lack of) you put on yourself. Projects are either being delivered on time or you and your team are making up for lost time. How you use your greatest asset will determine whether you and your organization achieve the results you desire.

Just putting in time rarely guarantees success. You must clarify and take action on the key critical areas, those that will yield the highest re-

Housemate draws the line at sharing her meatloaf Dear Abby: I share a large house with two other women. The homeowner, “Mary,” works from a home office during the day. “Sue” is her baby sister.

She has two small children and doesn’t work. She lives here rent-free thanks to Mary’s generosity. I pay rent. We keep all our food separate and eat our meals separately. We each have our assigned shelves in the refrigerator and cupboards.

Today, I mentioned to Sue I was making meatloaf tonight, and before I could say I’ll save you a slice, she invited herself to help me eat it. I was so flabbergasted I couldn’t think of a response. She also told both of her kids and a girlfriend of hers who came over to visit that “we” all were having meatloaf for dinner. I didn’t realize it until the last minute.

I don’t mind sharing once in a while, but I live on a fixed income. I

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips had planned for the meatloaf to last the rest of the week for my dinners and sandwiches for lunch. I finally told her, just as the meatloaf was done, that I had made it for myself and not to share with everyone.

Now I feel like a heel, but I’m realizing whenever I make a large amount of food, Sue seems to think it’s to share.

Why am I feeling bad about this when it was she who put me on the spot? How can I avoid this in the future? This isn’t the first time it has happened. – Puzzled

In The West Dear Puzzled: You may feel guilty

because you are not used to standing up

NEIGHBOR

for yourself, but if you don’t speak up, this person will not respect your boundaries. Sue should not assume she’s entitled to any of your food regardless of the amount you prepare. To prevent this from happening again, schedule a house meeting – without the children – and say it loud and clear.

Dear Abby: My family is colorful, to say the least. Many coworkers, neighbors, friends and in-laws have asked me why I haven’t written a book about my life because of the stories I have told them over the years about my family.

I always have wanted to, and feel there are enough stories to not only fill one book but several. Some of them are so funny, scary, sad and outrageous I see a miniseries or a movie being possible.

My dilemma is how my brothers and sisters will react to my putting it all on paper and the world seeing it in print. I

kept telling myself, “Just wait ’til Mom (many stories start with her) passes away, so she won’t be hurt.” Well, now she’s gone.

What do you think? Should I write it all down or not? If the answer is yes, how do I tell my brothers and sisters?

Or should I not tell them at all? – Family

Secrets Dear Family Secrets: If you would like

to write the stories down, that’s your privilege. However, if there is anything in them that could be hurtful or embarrassing to your relatives, I recommend you change all the names and locations, and publish it under a pen name. Some of the greatest writers of the past have done that with great success.

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You’ll have to keep things in perspective this year, regardless of what others do. Don’t give in to temptation or someone trying to entice you to take part in something dubious. Hard work will bring the rewards you are looking for, but shortcuts will not.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – A partnership will need proper attention. Stick to the basics and say what’s in your heart. Greater stability can be yours if you are honest and work diligently to make improvements.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You can start something new that will improve your environment by

offering to help others. Open your doors for group meetings or start a project that will help you build new skills.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A financial proposal may sound good, but joint ventures aren’t in your best interest. You are best off investing in yourself.

Personal developments and educational pursuits are favored.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Handle domestic situations with caution. Emotions will escalate fast, making it difficult for you to get things done.

Offer love and compassion instead of criticism and complaints. Make romance a priority.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Visit a friend or go somewhere you haven’t been for a long time. Your observations will encourage you to improve your

life. Consider a program or course and check out online employment opportunities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Make romantic plans or join a group or service that is geared toward meeting new people. Don’t be afraid to be different. Your unique nature will attract someone special.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be prudent when it comes to spending. You won’t gain points trying to buy someone’s interest. Offer an adventurous outing that costs little. Let your personality be the attraction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You have plenty to offer and to gain by discussing projects, investments and plans with someone who thinks as you do.

Financial or personal gains are heading your way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t be afraid to make a change. Follow your instincts and the latest trends in order to discover a lucrative plan. A home business can be your ticket to freedom.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Move forward with caution. Sharing your personal feelings or plans will be costly. Don’t give in to pressure. Be secretive and intent on pursuing your goals.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – A gift, proposal or financial gain is heading your way. A partnership will help you cut costs and bring you greater happiness and good fortune. Apply for a prestigious position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Expand your interests and experience by taking part in an event that will bring about positive change. Someone you meet will offer insight regarding a decision you must make.

Cary-Grove’s Nikki Freeman competes in the Class 3A shot put finals Saturday at the state meet in Charleston. She finished fifth in the shot put and won the discus.

C-G’s Freeman follows brother’s lead, wins discus title, 5th in shot put

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – Cary-Grove senior Nikki Freeman anxiously watched as East St. Louis’ Jazzmine Poole, Lake Park’s Michaela Smith and Metea Valley’s Courtney Morgan took their last turns in the Class 3A discus.

“There were still three incredible throwers,” Freeman said. “I knew those girls were capable of passing me.”

Poole’s throw was not far enough.

Then Smith fouled. When Freeman heard Morgan’s final distance was not better than her own toss of 142 feet, 5 inches, she turned to friends and family members with tears streaming down her face.

Not to be outdone ...

Nikki Freeman’s older brother Josh Freeman had a big day himself recently. Page 6 “I was ecstatic,” she said. “It was complete joy and excitement.”

Freeman’s second throw in the finals gave her the state title at the girls track and field state meet Saturday at Eastern Illinois University’s O’Brien Stadium.

Earlier she picked up fifth place in the shot put at 41-5.

“It’s incredible. It’s absolutely surreal,” Freeman said. “I’m trying to sleep on my way home, and there’s too much adrenaline going.”

Freeman joins C-G’s Carly Loeffel,

who won the 3A high jump in 2011, as the only girls track and field state champions in Trojans history. She also joins her brother Josh as a state champ. Josh won the 3A shot put and discus in 2012 and throws at Southern Illinois in Carbondale, where Nikki will throw next year.

Before the season, Freeman said she wanted to win discus and medal in the shot put. After Friday’s rain-soaked preliminaries, Freeman laid out her plan for the finals: “Get in and get after it.”

Freeman threw 136-plus on her first attempt, then came up with the state title throw.

“I knew I could be a little more aggressive,” said Freeman, who was in fifth place. “I had a decent mark, but I

had room, just be more aggressive.”

Trojans coach Mark Anderson marveled at the competitiveness of Freeman.

“She was just dialed in the last two days,” Anderson said. “She was having fun in the rain, she liked it. She did everything.”

Anderson knew Freeman would be a state contender in the discus but was impressed with her progress in the shot put.

“My only regret is she threw 40 feet three times this season – at county, sectional and here – and I never saw one of them. I was at the track (watching other C-G competitors),” he said. “It’s the first 40-foot thrower in school history, and I never got to see a 40-foot throw.”

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD: STATE NOTES

Senior takes 2nd in pole vault with career-best result

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, May 22, 2016

CHARLESTON – McHenry senior Savannah Howie faced her crucial moment in the Class 3A pole vault after two misses at 11 feet, 3 inches.

Howie needed to make that height to medal and stay in the competition.

Once she made that, the tension eased, she switched poles and had the meet of her life.

Howie, who will vault at NCAA Division I South Alabama next year, cleared 11-6, 11-9 and a career-best 12-0 to finish as runner-up at the IHSA girls track and field state meet Saturday at Eastern Illinois University’s O’Brien Stadium.

Howie’s Fox Valley Conference opponent Katie Schroeder from Grayslake Central won at 12-3. Howie was the only other competitor to make 12-0.

“I’m very happy,” Howie said. “At 11-6, I went to a bigger pole and started jumping on it. I did not think I would be second here. In years previous I had unfortunate events.”

Howie switched from a 12-6 pole rated at 140 pounds to a 13-0 pole at 135 pounds when she went to 11-6. She made that height right away and made 12-0 on her second attempt.

Prairie Ridge junior Sam Fisher, who is close friends with Howie, made a career-best vault for the second day in a row. Fisher made 11-0 in the preliminaries to qualify, then made 11-3 in the finals, finishing in 10th place, one spot from a medal.

More pole vault: Woodstock junior Cora Uidl went 11-3 in the Class 2A pole vault to take sixth place.

“I’m happy with it,” Uidl said. “I’m not particularly happy with my height, but I’m hurting a little bit (in the right foot), so it’s OK. My goal was to medal.”

Uidl plans to let her sore foot rest a few weeks, then get back to training this summer.

Family tradition: Woodstock senior Grace Beattie had a tough final lap in the Class 2A 800 meters but finished seventh to join her four siblings with an individual state medal. Beattie had a state medal with the Blue Streaks’ 4x800 relay in 2014. Her sisters Elise, Kayla and Maura all had multiple individual medals, and her twin brother,

Career-best efforts in the Class 3A pole vault by local competitors. McHenry’s Savannah Howie made 12-0 and Prairie Ridge’s Sam Fisher made 11-3.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Cary-Grove coach Mark Anderson and some of his staff thought they heard “143 feet” announced for one of the Class 3A discus competitors, when it was actually “140 feet, 3 inches.” So they thought Trojans senior Nikki Freeman (142-5) was second after the final throw, only to discover she had won.

Luke, was third in the Class 2A 3,200 last year.

Grace Beattie finished in 2:17.67 to take seventh.

“I did what I was supposed to do. I went out in the lead and was confident,” Beattie said. “On the bell lap I tightened up. I think I got passed by everybody, and with 200 to go, I told myself, ‘This is 200 to go and this is the dream you’ve had since you watched your sisters.

Just go do everything you can.’ I’m disappointed in my time and place, but I did the best I could on this day.”

Beattie will run cross country and track at Illinois State next year. She plans on running the 3,000 steeplechase for the Redbirds in track.

Schaffer takes seventh: Prairie Ridge sophomore Natasha Schaffer was not able to improve from her preliminary performance and took seventh in the Class 3A triple jump at 37-93/4.

Near medals: Marian Central sophomore Eve Meintz, who high jumped for the first time at the Class 2A Antioch Sectional, cleared 5-1 to finish 10th, one spot from a medal. … Cary-Grove sophomore Tabor Gleason cleared 5-5 in the 3A high jump and tied for 11th. The nine medalists made either 5-7 or 5-6.

Jacobs’ Kailash Panchapakesan eyes a forehand return during the Cary-Grove Sectional singles championship match against teammate Riley Rowan on Saturday in Cary. Panchapakesan won, 6-4, 6-1.

BOYS TENNIS: CARY-GROVE SECTIONAL

Jacobs shows dominance

Panchapakesan beats teammate Rowan in singles final

By MIKE DeFABO mdefabo@shawmedia.com CARY – Typically during tennis matches, Jacobs coach Jon Betts meets with his players at the fence to strategize and offer small pointers between sets. But Saturday at the Cary-Grove Sectional, the Golden Eagles’ coach sat back and simply became a spectator with two of his singles players, Kailash Panchapakesan and Riley Rowan, battling it out for the title.

Another Golden Eagles fan came up with a more creative solution, calling out, “Let’s go Rilash!”

In the end, Panchapakesan, the top seed in the tournament, defeated his teammate, Rowan, 6-4, 6-1 to win his second straight sectional title.

“I don’t think I’ve ever played a teammate in something like this,” Panchapakesan said. “It was different. At first I thought it would be fun, but it got pretty competitive. You still want to win, but you want your opponent to do well, too, because he’s on the same team.”

The all-Jacobs final was part of a dominant performance for the Golden Eagles. With two first-place finishes, a second-place finish and a fourth-place finish, the Golden Eagles ran away with the Cary-Grove Sectional title, scoring 34 team points.

In doubles, Kendrick and Kerwin Chong bested Prairie Ridge’s Patrick

Local players who qualified for state via the Cary-Grove Sectional. In singles, Kailash Panchapakesan (Jacobs), Riley Rowan (Jacobs), Hayden Dzurisin (Prairie Ridge) and Nick Thome (Crystal Lake South) qualified. In doubles, Kendrick and Kerwin Chong (Jacobs), Patrick Nasta and Daniel Lamar (Prairie Ridge), Johnny Wallace and Ethan St. John (Crystal Lake Central) and Kastritis/ Burton (Jacobs) qualified.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Jacobs coach Jon Betts on his No. 2 doubles team of Kastritis and Burton qualifying for state: “They played with great composure, playing in their first sectional ever. Usually that qualifying match is a tough one. I couldn’t be more impressed with them.”

Nasta and Daniel Lamar, 6-1, 6-2, to win

the title. And Golden Eagles’ second doubles team, Matthew Kastritis and Kyle Burton, placed fourth, falling to Crystal Lake Central’s Johnny Wallace and Ethan St. John, 4-6, 6-0, 7-5.

“We’re extremely fortunate to have that talent at the top,” Betts said. “To see them come out and play to their potential, it’s impressive. We’re very lucky to have what we have.”

Crystal Lake South, sparked by junior Nick Thome’s third-place finish, took second with 16 points. Prairie Ridge took third with 15 points, thanks to Hayden Dzurisin’s third-place finish and Nasta/ Lamar’s second-place finish.

One of the tightest matches of the day was when Rowan and Dzurisin squared off in the singles semifinal. They play against one another about once a week during the offseason and know each other’s tendencies well.

“He’s so fast, he can get anything back,” Rowan said. “It’s so annoying.

You hit a winner and it’s like, what?

He runs everything down. Shots that I didn’t think should be coming back, kept coming back.”

Rowan dropped the first set, 6-0, but rallied to win 6-2, 6-4, to set up the showdown with Panchapakesan.

“Riley’s win was phenomenal,” Betts said. “Beating Hayden in the semifinal was a big one, especially with the way Hayden has been playing. That was a great win.”

BOYS TRACK AND FIELD: CLASS 3A DEKALB SECTIONAL

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson just go on the word of parents sitting in the stands, and with no backup timing, the Gators could have been left out.

The meet was suspended to get the FAT system working properly. On Saturday, the Gators discovered Lay had a video that proved they had beaten the qualifying standard of 7:59.34.

South coach Nick Willhoit received it and sent it to athletic director Jason Bott, who forwarded it to McGraw.

Around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Willhoit texted, “We are in!!!”

“It’s great video quality and you can see perfectly that we ran 7:56,” Willhoit said. “I’m certain they will add on the .24 (the hand-timed conversion for FAT) and we’re still at 7:57,

well under the qualification mark.

It’s clear as day. There’s plenty of evidence for him to watch.”

That was all McGraw needed. Two years ago, in a similar situation, he received a video and two girls relay teams were qualified for state after their sectional.

Everyone at the meet Friday knew South’s 4x800 should be going, which McGraw was able to verify after the IHSA Girls Track and Field State Meet finished.

“I’m hoping something will appear, so I can provide an opportunity if they’re deserving of it,” McGraw said earlier Saturday. “But taking the word of parents, I don’t mean any disrespect, I simply can’t do it. I hope something will emerge in the next 24 hours that will allow us to evaluate that as I did with that other situation.”

McGraw said he timed the race from the video, which confirmed

the teams had made the qualifying standard.

When the IHSA adopted rules that all sectionals must use FAT systems, and if there was any failure in the system, only first- and second-place finishers would advance.

“By the end of the meet [Saturday], we said we have great video and if we send it along to [McGraw], we should be good,” Willhoit said.

Technology struck out in one instance, then struck back the next day.

This incident might spark ideas for counter-measures, however. Perhaps schools hosting sectionals might consider recording videos of every race.

You know, just in case.

Huntley wins delayed sectional; McHenry finishes 5th NORTHWEST HERALD After Friday night’s timing-system malfunction, the Class 3A DeKalb sectional picked back up Saturday morning and Huntley won the sectional with 121 points, advancing athletes to state in 14 events.

The Red Raiders beat out second-place Grant (89) and third-place DeKalb (72.5). McHenry finished fifth with 40 points.

Huntley’s Keegan Smith won the 800 meters with a time of 1:55.06, beating Prairie Ridge’s Grant Jensen, who also qualified for state with a second-place time of 1:57.09.

Huntley’s Seth Conroy won the 1,600 with a time of 4:23.21.

Other Red Raiders who quali-

fied for state were Brendan O’Donnell with a second-place finish in the 400 (50.58), Jeremie Allen with a second-place finish in the 200 (22.01) and Dubem Anikamadu with a thirdplace finish in the 100 at 10.90.

“I think I killed the back stretch of that race and just tried to keep whatever distance I had,” Allen said.

“Coming back today affects me because I ran the 4x100 faster last night, but I’m just in the shorter events. It affects the distance guys more because, obviously, they have to run farther.”

Huntley qualified for state in all four of the relays, wining the 4x800 (7:54.40), the 4x100 (42.35) and 4x200 (1:29.02) while coming in second in the 4x400 (3:24.01).

“We just have to try our best and get our handoffs down at the state meet,” 4x200 relay member Eric Mooney said. “Just do that and run fast. I think we could’ve ran a little better today, though.”

McHenry finished second in the 4x800 with a time of 7:56.42 to also secure state qualification.

Jacobs’ Steven Bellafontaine qualified for state in the 100, finishing fifth with a time of 10.93.

Prairie Ridge’s Filip Pajak qualified in the 3,200 by finishing second in 9:30.30.

On Friday, Huntley’s Tim McCloyn (shot put and discus) and Dominic Swanson (shot put) had qualified before the decision to suspend the meet. Also qualifying in field events

for Huntley were Jacob Riese, who finished third (14-1) and Rafael Rivera (13-7), who finished seventh in the pole vault, Max Trinski finished fourth in the high jump (6-3) and Sean Patel finished fourth in the triple jump (44-31/2).

McHenry’s Brian Keyes (discus) and Kevin Szamlewski (pole vault) also secured state qualification Friday. McHenry’s Deshawn Wilson won the triple jump with a leap of 45-51/2.

Crystal Lake Central had two athletes advance to state, with Darian Singh placing second in the high jump at 6-5 and Brandon Dahl finishing fourth in the pole vault (14-1).

Crystal Lake South’s Sam Peschke placed fifth in the pole vault, also clearing 14-1, to qualify for state.

BOYS ROUNDUP

Huntley 2nd in own tennis sectional; Collins 3rd in singles NORTHWEST HERALD Huntley’s Julian Collins finished third at the Huntley Sectional on Saturday, leading the Red Raiders’ boys tennis team to a second-place finish.

After qualifying for state Friday, Collins lost his semifinal match Saturday, 6-0, 6-0, to eventual champion Anderson Park of Belvidere North. Collins re-

grouped and won the third-place match, 6-4, 6-1, over Rochelle’s Noah Griffith.

In doubles, the two Huntley teams that qualified for state lost their semifinal matches and ended up meeting in an all-Red Raiders third-place match.

The pairing of Trey Coleman and Ben Cazel topped teammates Charlie Burian and Jacob Wat, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, to take third place.

Belvidere North had the champion in singles and doubles, winning the sectional with 20 points, six ahead of Huntley (14).

BASEBALL McHenry 9-8, Hersey 3-4: At McHen-

ry, the Warriors smacked 20 hits and scored 17 runs to sweep a nonconference doubleheader, 9-3 and 8-4, at home

In the first game, Nick Lahrman, Bobby Miller and Matt Nagel homered for the Warriors (21-13). Nagel was 3 for 4 in the game. Michael Lasiewicz started and got the win, giving up one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four in four innings. Dylan

Crystal Lake South’s Jon Prus, Miles Foydl, Doug Cain and Jack Becker probably don’t even know McHenry woman Samantha Lay, but they will never forget her.

The IHSA needed evidence that the Gators’ 4x800-meter relay team had beaten the qualifying standard at Friday’s Class 3A DeKalb Boys Track and Field Sectional. Lay, who was recording the race because her son Tyler was running for McHenry, provided it.

A malfunction with the fully automatic timing system at the meet could have left South out of next weekend’s state meet. Under IHSA rules, if there is no FAT system, only the automatic qualifiers (first and second places) advance.

SIU’s Freeman makes history in shot put ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino Every twist, turn, spin and thrust that Josh Freeman has performed for more than a month has been accompanied by pain.

One of the nation’s top shot put throwers, Freeman has been dealing with a nagging glute injury for most of his outdoor track and field season at NCAA Division I Southern Illinois.

“Quite literally, it’s been a pain in the [butt],” said Freeman, a CaryGrove graduate. “I’ve been battling this for the past five, six weeks.”

Despite the pain and the physical limits it has put on him, Freeman made history last weekend.

He became the first athlete in the 108-year history of the Missouri Valley Conference to win the outdoor shot put title four consecutive times. Freeman, a seven-time MVC champion in throwing events, locked up his fourth career shot put crown with a throw of 61 feet, 10½ inches.

“There have been a lot of great shot putters to come through the conference, so that’s kind of special,” said Freeman, who also took third in the discus at 170-7.

During his career, Freeman has become the school record holder in the shot put indoors and outdoors, surpassing his former SIU throws coach John Smith.

“Looking back, the records that John broke belonged to George Woods, who was a two-time Olympic silver medalist in the shot put (in 1968 and 1972),” Freeman said. “So that puts everything into perspective.”

Freeman’s best throw this season of 65-4¼ ranks sixth nationally and third in the NCAA West Region. A

Cary-Grove graduate Josh Freeman recently became the first person to win the Missouri Valley Conference outdoor shot put title four consecutive times. three-time, first-team All-American in the shot put, Freeman will compete beginning Thursday at a regional meet in Lawrence, Kansas, where he hopes to put his injury aside and qualify for next month’s national meet in Oregon.

“We figured that we needed to find a way to make the pain subside or just fight through it,” Freeman said of his season. “Rest just really wasn’t doing it. It’s definitely better than it was three weeks ago, so we’re on the right track. I know there’s so much distance locked up that hasn’t been touched yet.

We’ve been waiting for something to crack.”

For a time, he and his coaches decided that practice repetitions would be done at 60 percent of his normal effort.

“When it came time for a meet, it looked like my mind wasn’t ready to tell my body to go more than 60 percent,” he said. “It looked like I was just crawling through the ring. We decided trying to baby the injury wasn’t going to work.”

Freeman’s health will have a big impact on his success during the post-

season.

“If we can get the injury to subside, I think I definitely have a PR in there,” said Freeman, who had multiple throws over 64 feet in a meet early in the outdoor season at Missouri. “It’s my last go, so anything less than a national title will be upsetting. That’s where my mentality is at.”

Loeffel smashes Notre Dame record:

Cary-Grove grad Carly Loeffel, a senior track and field athlete at Notre Dame, enjoyed a record-setting performance at last weekend’s Atlantic Coast Conference outdoor meet.

Loeffel broke the school record in the heptathlon with 5,594 points to earn one of 24 spots at next month’s national meet in Eugene, Oregon, and finished third to earn All-ACC honors.

A senior for the Irish, Loeffel bettered the record by 85 points after an impressive first day in the meet in Tallahassee, Florida, winning the high jump (5-8) and the shot put (43-103/4).

She also finished third in the 200-meter dash (25.16) and the javelin (124-5) in the competition and added a

fifth-place effort in the 800 (2:18.81).

Loeffel’s record-setting score ranks 21st nationally.

Making history at Marquette: Freshman sprinter Connor Boos won four medals last weekend to help D-I Marquette’s men’s track and field team win its first Big East Conference outdoor track and field title.

Boos helped the Warriors win the 4x100 relay (41.77 seconds) for one of the team’s 10 event titles. He also ran a leg on the team’s 4x400 relay team, which placed third.

Individually, the Huntley grad finished third in the 100 in 10.69 and fourth in the 200 in 21.84.

On Wednesday, the Big East named Boos among 33 athletes from Marquette to the All-Big East team. He was one of three Marquette men’s athletes to earn all-conference recognition in multiple events (100, 4x100 and 4x400 relays).

Fellow Huntley grad Isaac Jimenez, a freshman at DePaul, finished fifth in the shot put (48-11½) and seventh in the discus (132-1) at the Big East meet.

Blunk among CCIW’s best: North Central College junior pitcher Evan Blunk (Jacobs) was named to the All-CCIW second team in baseball this week.

A right-hander who has made seven starts this season, Blunk has a 5-0 record for the D-III Cardinals (30-11) and has compiled 30 strikeouts in 43 innings.

North Central (30-11) is ranked 15th nationally this week and was selected for the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2010. The Cardinals have made the national tournament nine times in school history.

NBA PLAYOFFS

DeRozan, Raptors hand Cavaliers first loss of playoffs

By IAN HARRISON The Associated Press TORONTO – DeMar DeRozan scored 32 points, Bismack Biyombo set a Toronto playoff record with 26 rebounds, and the Raptors beat Cleveland, 99-84, Saturday night, handing the Cavaliers their first loss this postseason.

Kyle Lowry scored 20 points, Cory Joseph added 14, and Patrick Patterson and DeMarre Carroll each had 10 for the Raptors. They rebounded in Game 3 after losing the first two games in Cleve-

land by a combined 50 points.

In Toronto, where “We The North” is a rallying cry, a sell-out crowd dressed in red and white T-shirts helped their team improve to 7-2 at home in the playoffs. Game 4 is Monday night at Air Canada Centre.

LeBron James scored 24 points, and J.R. Smith had 22 for the Cavaliers.

They won their first 10 playoff games and were trying to match the Los Angeles Lakers’ record of 11 straight victories to begin a postseason. The Lakers did it in 1989 and again in 2001.

Kyrie Irving scored 13 points, and Channing Frye had 11 for Cleveland.

The Cavaliers were held below 100 points for the first time in the playoffs.

It was a rough night for Cavaliers forward Kevin Love, who scored three points and made only one of nine field goal attempts.

James had five assists, moving past Jason Kidd and into third place on the NBA’s career playoff list.

With his team ahead by eight, Biyombo scored six straight points in the final quarter to put the Raptors up, 91-

77, at 3:38.

DeRozan scored 12 points in the first but saw a buzzer-beating 3 waved off after video review. Lowry scored eight points despite picking up his second four at 5:40 as Toronto led 30-24 after one. It was the first time in nine quarters this series that the Raptors had outscored the Cavaliers.

Carroll, Joseph and Patterson each made 3-pointers during a 16-2 Toronto run midway through the second as the Raptors overcame Lowry’s third foul to take a 54-37 lead.

8 KANSAS CITY 2, WHITE SOX 1

White Sox offense sputters again in loss to KC

By DAVID JUST ROYALS 2, WHITE SOX 1

For the Sun–Times There was no shortage of opportunities for the White Sox on Saturday.

A runner reached base safely in all but the eighth inning, and all but two starters hit or walked their way to first against the Royals. The Sox even had their ideal situation in the seventh inning, when the bases were loaded with nobody out for Jose Abreu.

The slumping slugger drove in the Sox’ only run, but did so by grounding into a 6-4-3 double play that halted any potential rally.

The Sox went on to lose, 2-1, their sixth loss in seven games and eighth in the last 10. Their six-game lead in the American League Central on May 9 shrunk to 11⁄3 with the latest defeat.

Is it time to be concerned about this offense yet?

“I don’t know if it’s concern, but we’re not happy with it,” manager Robin Ventura said pregame. “You go through ruts, you have to fight your way out of it, work at it. Stay positive.

We believe it’s gonna end.”

The Sox stranded nine baserunners and only moved a runner to third in the seventh inning.

Brett Lawrie was 0 for 19 before his sixth-inning single. Todd Frazier is 0 for 8 in the series. And Abreu, the club’s best hitter for the past two seasons, grounded into two double plays.

The Sox thrived during the season’s first month and a half despite Abreu’s struggles, but they could use their star now more than ever. Abreu is hitting .243 with just seven base

“He’ll be fine,” Frazier said of Abreu. “You know, I think he knows what he needs to do. I talked to him a little bit today. We’ve all been through it. I’m 0 for 8 in the series, so I’m struggling, too, if you want the truth.”

Ventura believes Abreu is pressing at the plate.

“You can see it as far as getting in those situations and trying to probably hit a seven-run homer,” Ventura said. “You can’t get out of it that way. You got to be able to relax and get through it. We’ll be there for him.

“You go through tough stretch-

es, and this is probably his toughest stretch. And he has everything that’ll get him through it, and we’ll get through it.”

White Sox starter Miguel Gonzalez was the hard-luck loser, giving up just the two runs in six innings of work.

Gonzalez, who was making his first start at The Cell, is now 0-7 with a 6.41 ERA in his last 12 starts with the Orioles and Sox. The Royals’ first batter of the game, Alcides Escobar, singled and scored on a sacrifice fly in the first. Lorenzo Cain added the necessary insurance with a solo homer in the sixth.

The Sox will try to avoid being swept Sunday, and they’ll try to avoid losing their grip on first place during the following series against the Indians.

“We’re going to flush this out and get ready to come right back after it tomorrow,” shortstop Tyler Saladino said. “Same attitude, same mentality.

Go into every game ready to win that game.”

SOX NOTES

Johnson will be recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to pitch Monday

By DAVID JUST For the Sun–Times Erik Johnson will be recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday to pitch the second game of a doubleheader against the Twins, the White Sox announced Saturday.

Johnson has started one game for the Sox this season, surrendering four runs on eight hits in five innings against the Red Sox on May 5.

Johnson has been on and off the active roster, spending April 19-24 with the team but never pitching. He was recalled for the May 5 start and then immediately optioned back to Charlotte.

Per MLB rules, Johnson will be the 26th man on the active roster. The Sox will send Mat Latos to the mound for the first game of the doubleheader.

Living the dream: Friday night’s Sox loss included a 3-for-25 performance by the first six batters in the lineup and an ejection after the game ended. It was the club’s fifth defeat in six games.

But it was also a dream come true for Matt Purke.

The White Sox reliever made his Major League debut in the 4-1 loss to the Royals, pitching the last 1 1⁄ 3 innings. Purke gave up two hits, struck out one and didn’t allow a run. He left the stadium with the game ball.

“It was awesome,” Purke said. “It

was definitely my dream to play in the big leagues, and to finally get out there and be able to do that was great.”

The Sox called Purke up from Triple-A Charlotte on May 13 while the team was in New York. The 25-year-old waited more than a week for his first shot, pitching in front of his mother, father and wife on Friday.

“I just really want to get out there and help the guys in any way I can,” he said.

Purke was drafted by the Nationals in the third round of the 2011 draft. The Sox signed him as a minor-league free agent on Nov. 21.

Waiting on Petricka: Sox reliever Jake Petricka will remain on the disabled list

a bit longer, manager Robin Ventura said Saturday.

Petricka, on the 15-day DL since May 6 with a right hip impingement, is still feeling soreness in his hip.

“I wouldn’t expect it just to be the 15 days,” Ventura said. “It’s going to be a little bit longer. He still feels something there.”

Tidbits: Melky Cabrera has a hit in 14 consecutive games against the Royals. … Adam Eaton is riding an eightgame hitting streak and has cranked three doubles, three triples and a homer in his last 15 games. … Tyler Saladino extended his hitting streak to a career-high-tying seven games with his fifth inning single Saturday.

Already playing with a short bench that included two catchers, the Cubs activated Matt Szczur (hamstring) from the disabled list before Saturday’s game.

Szczur, who played one game on a minor-league rehab assignment with Class AA Tennessee, joined the team before the game and came off the bench as a pinch-hitter in the seventh, striking out.

To make room on the roster, righthander Neil Ramirez was designated for assignment as the Cubs downsized to a seven-man bullpen for the first time this season.

With a scheduled off day Thursday, the Cubs have the luxury of extending Heyward’s timeline by a day or two without it costing more game time.

“I’ve got to be smart,” said Heyward, a three-time Gold Glove winner. “We’re not in September right now. This is not the time to push through anything like that.”

Heyward was off to a slow start at the plate this season, some of that caused by a sore wrist he dealt with for about a month. But his Gold Glove fielding and base running has been among the best in the league by eye test and metrics, and has been a big part of the Cubs’ early success.

“There’s no rush,” said Maddon, who said he envisioned far worse when he ran on the field with the trainer Friday night to attend to Heyward. “It was not unlike watching Kyle [Schwarber] going out there in Arizona. You saw the way

his head crunched into the wall. I really thought it was a neck kind of thing.

Thank goodness it was not.”

Heyward – who called the catch “one of my favorite in my life, for sure” – seemed even more relieved after seeing video of the play.

“I’m a lucky man. Very, very lucky,” he said. “God looked out for me on that one. I’m just really fortunate that I was able to get up and walk off the field.”

CUBS

Pitching streak ends for Cubs; Lester leaves in 3rd

By GORDON WITTENMYER For the Sun–Times SAN FRANCISCO – With Saturday’s 5-3 loss to the Giants at AT&T Park, the Cubs have scored three or fewer runs in five of six games.

But the actual aberration for the team with the best record and by far the biggest run differential in the majors was this one: Cubs starter Jon Lester lasted only 22/3 innings Saturday – knocked out in a three-run Giants third, after giving up

a two-run double to pitcher Matt Cain in the second.

“Hard-hit balls. Bad location,” Lester (4-3) said.

And an end to one of the most impressive streaks in baseball.

Until Saturday, the Cubs had gone 48 consecutive games, dating to last September, with at least five innings pitched from their starter, the franchise’s longest streak since at least 1910 (as far back as research is reliable).

They are just the third team in major league history to open a season with 40

consecutive five-inning starts, joining last year’s Mets and the 1981 Pirates.

“Our rotation’s been pretty solid,” said Lester, understating the contribution so far this season of the top-ranked rotation in the majors. “We’ve been doing what we’re supposed to do, keeping our team in the ballgame and putting up innings, with the exception of today.

It’s been fun to be a part of.”

First baseman Anthony Rizzo said the rotation hasn’t received enough credit for the Cubs’ big start this season.

“But that’s good,” he said. “I think it’s good they stay under the radar. Our offense gets a lot of the attention all of the time. Let them just keep going and doing their thing. It’s mid-May. We’re in good position.”

The Cubs’ fourth loss in six games dropped them to 4-6 in their past 10.

“We all knew coming in our rotation was going to be pretty strong,” Lester said, “and we have to be strong if we want to go where we want to go. So back to work tomorrow and figure this thing out.”

• Sunday, May 22, 2016

SAN FRANCISCO – The Cubs got their victory Saturday before their game against the Giants ever started.

It would be their only one of the day, but no game in May – even against the three-time champs – was bigger than keeping $184 million right fielder Jason Heyward off the disabled list.

“Very encouraging,” manager Joe Maddon said after learning the Saturday’s MRI on the injured Heyward revealed he had suffered only a bad bruise in the area around his right hip and ribs when he crashed into the wall Friday night.

He’s expected to be sidelined three to five days, the team said.

It was especially encouraging for a club that already is down one outfielder, having lost left fielder Kyle Schwarber for the season after he suffered a knee injury on an outfield collision April 7.

And it was more encouraging still for a team whose 5-3 loss to the Giants Saturday night was their fourth in six games, and sixth in 10 – with just 13 runs in the six losses for a team that led the majors in scoring before that.

Heyward, the Cubs’ No. 2 hitter in the order, was hurt in the first inning Friday night when he made what might have been the most spectacular catch of the season – lunging after a long run, then falling and sliding head-first across the warning track into the wall in right-center.

“It’s a lot better today from last night, surprisingly,” Heyward said Saturday.

“It’s still sore, achy and still tight in the area with the contusion, with how my bones hit together with the muscle and everything. But it’s still better, and not

SPORTS BRIEFS Alvarez, Johnson help Fire beat Dynamo, snap losing streak

BRIDGEVIEW – Arturo Alvarez scored his first MLS goal since 2010, and the Fire held on to beat the Houston Dynamo, 1-0, Saturday.

Alvarez poked a feed from Gilberto Souza Jr. – that slipped between a pair of defenders – past goalkeeper Tyler Deric in the third minute.

Houston’s Andrew Wenger had a pair of chances in the following moments, but came up empty each time. He dribbled into the box and cut back before firing a right-footer wide in the sixth minute, and his turnaround shot from near the penalty spot sailed high in the 17th.

The last-place Fire (2-5-4) had lost three in a row and were winless in their past six matches.

Deric had six saves for the Dynamo (3-7-2).

The Fire’s Sean Johnson, making only his second start this season, finished with three saves for the clean sheet.

Logano wins NASCAR all-star race

CONCORD, N.C. – Joey Logano won an entertaining version of NASCAR’s annual All-Star race by snatching the lead away from Kyle Larson with two laps remaining Saturday night in the $1 million exhibition event.

Larson had raced his way into the main event earlier Saturday by beating Chase Elliott in a stirring last-lap door-to-door battle to the checkered flag. He then rocketed to the lead in the All-Star race by using four fresh tires to drive to the front on the restart of the 13-lap dash-for-cash.

Logano eventually caught him, and Larson tried several times to hold him off, but as the two raced side-by-side, Larson smacked the wall and the damage took him out of contention.

Logano then cruised to the win ahead of Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski, who suggested much of Saturday night’s format.

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Troy Brouwer and Kyle Brodziak each scored twice, Jake Allen stopped 31 shots in his first start of the postseason and the St. Louis Blues bounced back from consecutive shutout losses to beat the San Jose Sharks, 6-3, Saturday to even the Western Conference final at two games apiece.

Coach Ken Hitchcock hoped the change in goalie would spark his dormant offense and the move paid off as the Blues controlled the play from the start of Game 4.

Brouwer and Jori Lehtera scored in the first period and the Blues rolled after getting dominated the previous two games when they were outscored 7-0.

Alex Pietrangelo added an empty-netter to seal it.

Now it will be up to San Jose to re-

also scored in the third for the Sharks, but San Jose went 0 for 5 on the power play and allowed a short-handed goal.

There was some cause for concern for St. Louis. Captain David Backes did not play in the final two periods, and the Blues did not disclose his injury.

St. Louis took control early in the second period after it seemed like San Jose had gained momentum from killing a two-man advantage and then drawing a penalty from the Blues.

Hinchcliffe takes top seed in Indy qualifying with late push

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – James Hinchcliffe never fretted about posting the best four-lap average in qualifying Saturday at Indianapolis.

All he wanted was a chance to win the pole Sunday.

The Canadian driver who nearly died last year from a life-threatening leg injury sustained during practice for the 500, survived two challenges in the final 25 minutes and barely held on to the top seed with a speed of 230.946 mph. Ryan Hunter-Reay was second at 230.805 on the next-to-last run in the session. Team Penske’s Will Power came in third at 230.736.

“Our first run, that was the hardest qualifying attempt I’d ever done at the speedway here,” Hinchcliffe said.

“When you kind of take a step back and let yourself think about it a little bit, it does feel good.”

To complete his comeback with a pole-winning run for the May 29 centennial race, Hinchcliffe must do it all

over Sunday.

The nine fastest drivers from Saturday will compete in a late afternoon pole shootout, and if it resembles anything like the first day of qualifications, fans could be in for a real treat.

The lead changed twice in the final 40 minutes, nearly changed two more times in the last 25 minutes and included Russia’s Mikhail Aleshin bumping his way into the shootout on the final run of the day.

Hinchcliffe and Aleshin are teammates with Schmidt Peterson Motorsports.

Not enough?

Hunter-Reay made the top nine with a daring run that knocked out teammate Marco Andretti, the son of Andretti Autosport’s team owner, Michael, just moments after Andretti had bumped out Hunter-Reay.

“That was hectic,” the 2014 Indy winner said after finishing second. “I have some bad memories at this place being right as the gun goes off. I had to keep reminding myself, ‘It’s only for the top nine. Everything’s good.’ ”

IRVING, Texas – Brooks Koepka overcame two early bogeys and the huge shadow of playing alongside Jordan Spieth in his home event, shooting a 5-under-par 65 on Saturday to take the Byron Nelson lead.

Koepka was at 16-under 194 to match the best 54-hole score at the Nelson and put him two strokes ahead of Spieth with one round left.

Koepka took the lead with a 20-foot birdie putt at No. 14. Spieth hit his drive into the water, had to punch into the fairway and then made a 23-foot bogey putt in his round of 67.

Spieth played his first PGA Tour event at the Nelson as a 16-year-old amateur six years ago. He is now the world’s No. 2-ranked player and the crowd favorite. His image is everywhere, including the 8,000 bobbleheads given away Saturday.

At 26, Koepka is four years older than Spieth but has only one win (Phoenix in 2015) in his 54 previous PGA Tour starts.

Matt Kuchar (65), Bud Cauley (68) and Sergio Garcia (68) were tied for

Champions major of the year.

A stroke behind leader Kenny Perry entering the round, Langer shot a 3-under 69 to move to 12-under 204 – while Perry and others stumbled at Greystone.

The 58-year-old Langer won the Chubb Classic in February for his 26th victory on the 50-and-over tour.

Perry held the lead after each of the first two rounds but had a double bogey on the opening hole on his way to a 74.

He and Scott McCarron (72) were tied for second going into the final round.

John Daly was among five players at 7 under after a 69. Playing in his second PGA Tour Champions event, the twotime major winner had a double bogey, two bogeys, an eagle and five birdies.

Exaggerator ends Nyquist’s Triple Crown bid Two horses in earlier races die; jockey hurt

Preakness payout Horse Win Place Show Exaggerator $7.20 $3.20 $2.40 Cherry Wine $9.80 $4.20 Nyquist $2.20

By RICHARD ROSENBLATT The Associated Press BALTIMORE – Despite the fog, the rain and an undefeated Kentucky Derby winner to contend with, Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux knew the best route to the Preakness winner’s circle with Exaggerator – stay inside and wait.

The rider who started his career in Maryland, guided Exaggerator to a 3½-length victory over Cherry Wine in Saturday’s $1.5 million Preakness, ending Nyquist’s bid for a Triple Crown follow-up after American Pharoah did it last year. Nyquist finished third.

Just call Pimlico Race Course home track advantage, Desormeaux.

Stride by stride, Exaggerator made up ground along the rail as Nyquist and Uncle Lino dueled for the lead. Desormeaux was watching.

“I had a dream trip,” he said. “To me it looked like Nyquist was trying to establish an outward position, maybe

Exaggerator, with Kent Desormeaux aboard, moves past Nyquist, with Mario Gutierrez, during the 141st Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. Exaggerator won the race. in the four path. He was jockeying for position all the way down the back side.

And Exaggerator just kind of slid up the fence to the far turn where I actually got to slow him down and say ‘whenever I’m ready.’ “

He was ready with three-sixteenths of a mile to go, and splashed his way past Nyquist to finally beat his nemesis after four losses, including a runner-up finish in the Derby.

“It was an amazing race and Ex-

aggerator is an amazing horse,” Desormeaux said.

The day began on a somber note.

Two horses died and a jockey was injured in the first four races, one of the horses bred and owned by Gretchen and Roy Jackson – the owners of the ill-fated Barbaro.

It was 10 years ago when Derby winner Barbaro shattered bones in his right hind leg at the start of the Preakness.

Seven months later, he was euthanized.

The Jacksons’ 4-year-old filly Pramedya was euthanized on the track Saturday after she broke down during the fourth race. Jockey Daniel Centeno broke his right collarbone.

Earlier, 9-year-old gelding Homeboykris won the first race, and then collapsed and died while being led back to his barn.

PARIS – Novak Djokovic will be celebrating his 29th birthday when the French Open starts Sunday. If nothing else, it underlines just how frustrating it has become for the top-ranked Serb to win the only major to elude him.

Djokovic, who has lost the past two finals here and three altogether, is playing his 12th tournament and would set a record for most appearances at Roland Garros before winning the title in the Open era. Four players – Stan Wawrinka last year, Roger Federer in 2009, Andre Agassi in 1999 and Andres Gomez in 1990 – all won on their 11th appearance. Goran Ivanisevic holds the Open era Grand Slam record of needing 14 attempts before winning Wimbledon in 2001.

Although Djokovic insists he is not “obsessed” with winning the elusive title, he may never get a better chance, because nine-time champion Rafael Na-

dal still is finding his best form on clay, Wawrinka has been erratic and the 17time Grand Slam champion Federer is skipping the tournament to protect his troublesome back. Second-second Andy Murray could pose a serious threat, having beaten Djokovic in the Italian Open final last weekend.

Federer always has been a huge fan favorite, wherever he plays, and the hard-to-please Parisian fans have warmly taken Nadal to their hearts since he won for the first time here as a scraggly haired teenager in 2005.

Perhaps seeking that extra bit of energy to take him all the way, Djokovic clearly wants to get the French fans on his side.

This was evident Saturday when, before starting his practice, he goofed around wearing a beret as he played the traditional French game called “petanque” – albeit with yellow tennis balls instead of those heavy metallic ones – and jokingly played around with a violin.

ON THE COVER Hot dogs dressed to impress in “Eat Street,” co-authored by McHenry native John Carruthers.

Questions? Email trkerth@yahoo.com

When the impassable is impassible I was reading the newspaper at the breakfast table this morning when – BLAM! – a bird flew into the window.

It startled me, though it seemed to have a more stunning effect on the bird, which fell to the ground, fluttered a bit, and then flew wobbily off in a less paneful direction.

“He’s lucky,” I thought, because other birds have flown into those windows, some of them with more dire results.

And I went back to reading the article I had been scanning just before the bird blammed into the glass – an article that just happened to be about the Chicago lady who is suing Starbucks for $5 million because they put too much ice in her iced coffee.

I guess you could say she was lucky, too, because unlike that lady who sued McDonald’s because the hot coffee they gave her was hot (oh, the sadistic monsters!), this lady escaped without so much as a brain-freeze or a sensitive tooth pang.

No, her objection was that the iced coffee from Starbucks held too much of the first-listed main ingredient – ice – for her taste. And she feels her dissatisfaction is worth a cool five mil for Starbucks to pony up to soothe her angst (which probably would be called “angoscia” in her lawsuit, since you have to speak Italian in order to get anything from Starbucks).

“She’s lucky,” I thought, because I realized she’d probably end up with a nice settlement just for living in a land where you aren’t laughed out of court for admitting you’re stupid enough to walk into a coffee shop and pay upwards of $3 for a splash of coffee drizzled over frozen water – and then drop some change into the tip jar.

But it occurred to me her luck was a

lot luckier than that poor battered bird’s luck was. After all, she just got her beak out of joint because her molto-gigante icebergatto cappuccino didn’t taste right.

That poor bird pelted his pecker into an obstacle he couldn’t see coming.

And why couldn’t he see it coming?

Because that glass was completely transparent. And when you think of it, what could be more dangerous than an impassable barrier that is impossible to see?

And then it occurred to me that “impassable” (which means “incapable of being passed”) sounds exactly like “impassible” (which means “unfeeling”).

The words are different by only one letter, but … … that’s when it dawned on me: Those monstrous window manufacturers are impassible about the pain their impassable transparent barriers inflict.

But in this wonderful litigious land of ours, who speaks for the birds?

Well, maybe it’s time for a change, I thought.

After all, where are the warning labels that should make impassable panes of glass less lethal to an innocent bird winging its unsuspecting way through the clear, clean air?

McDonald’s had to pony up nearly $3 million to Stella Liebeck because the coffee she bought from them was diabolically hot without proper warning labels.

And then the fast-food restaurant had to pay for all of their subsequent hot coffee cups to be marked: “CAUTION – hot coffee may be HOT!” which must have cost them millions more.

And it was all McDonalds’ fault for being impassible about the safety of customers who want to drive around while using their crotch as a cupholder, the court ruled.

There’s no telling how much Starbucks will end up paying for the crime of putting ice in their iced coffee. And then they’ll have to shell out even more to print a label on their iced coffee that says: “CAUTION – iced coffee may contain ICE!” The price of impassibility.

That’s why I’m calling for the impassible window manufacturers to stop the mayhem they inflict on unsuspecting birds, or any other creature unfortunate enough to fly, walk, slither or crawl into an impassable pane of glass.

And, on behalf of all those innocent fliers, walkers, slitherers and crawlers, I’m declaring my intent to sue them for being impassible when it comes to their invisible hazards.

And I won’t rest until every window in America is etched with a bold warning label that says: “CAUTION – Objects seen through this impassable window may be inaccessible by direct travel.

Consult manual for safe passage.”

And, of course, I’ll expect a hefty settlement in recompense. A $100 million sounds about right. I’ll leave the exact details to my legal team, and I trust our court system to do the right thing on this.

Of course, when you open your morning paper and read about the huge payment I’m sure to receive, you’ll probably be tempted to say, “He’s lucky.” But remember, even though I’ll be wealthy beyond imagining, I won’t be doing it for me.

Because my lawsuit is for the birds.

Just like those other lawsuits.

EnvironmentTip Know where your power comes from

When you use electricity in your home or business, do you know what fuel is used to produce that energy? That information might help give some understanding to why it’s important to our health to continue to conserve and move toward renewables. It also can help in your decisions as a consumer.

The impact on our natural systems, whether positive or negative, is an important consideration in the production of power. In Illinois, 46 percent of electricity is generated by nuclear power, 44 percent is coming from coal and 2 percent from gas. The remaining 8 percent is from wind.

As a consumer, you create the demand for a product. Think about how efforts by lots of

us to conserve 50 percent of the energy we use today could affect the demand for electricity. Think further about the damaging waste it produces. How about turning to wind and solar and away from carbon fuels and nuclear? It’s one step, one small decision at a time that changes the tide.

EAT STREET ManBQue cofounder and McHenry native talks new cookbook

By LINDSAY WEBER • editorial@nwherald.com

Tostones is one of the recipes featured in “Eat Street.” Find it at NWHerald.com.

Photo provided by Clayton Hauk

Ten years ago, a group of friends drinking and grilling on a rooftop in Chicago decided to get together every month for more of the same – drinking, grilling and catching up. ManBQue was born, a “grilling and lifestyle organization for outdoor cooks, music lovers, craft beer obsessives, and all manner of modern urban Viking,” according to its website. The idea has grown into a movement, with chapter “meatings” once a month in cities across the country, event appearances, an agent, and their first cookbook, 2015’s “ManBQue,” by McHenry native John Carruthers and Jesse Valenciana.

The unruly men of ManBQue are at it again with a new book, “Eat Street,” featuring 200 recipes for the most delicious food in their world. We sat down with Carruthers, who once again authored the book with Valenciana along with John Scholl, to talk about ManBQue’s new guide to making street food at home. The excerpt below was edited for space, and the full interview is available at NWHerald. com.

Weber: What’s your definition of eating ‘street’?

Carruthers: We kind of look at it as there is a sort of exotic sense to

street food because you see all these shots from far off places, but we find that you’re essentially doing the same thing. It’s really just kind of anything you can enjoy standing up.

Weber: How did you determine which recipes made the cut?

Carruthers: A lot of times it’s just what works really well. We tried

to focus on stuff that we got a really good “oh my gosh” result on and stuff that was easy to show others how to make. We don’t have any 98-hour sous vide vacuum sealed brisket or anything. It’s really delicious, and I do make that at home, but really who is going to do that?

One person out of a thousand?

A lot of it is kind of based on memory.

• EAT STREET

Continued from page 3 Of all of the sense memories, taste and smell are the ones that really stick with you over the years. You can get nostalgic for some absolutely garbage food. So a lot of these came from the individual memories of John, Jessie or I. You know, one night we were drinking in college and, one night we were studying abroad and one day we were so hungry and the only thing around was tongue tacos over at this little stand. So, you know, it’s kind of like those types of scenarios that these are born out of.

Weber: So tongue tacos are good?

Carruthers: Tongue tacos are delicious!

Weber: The intro for the book says that you went to Hot Dog University? What is that? Where is that?

Carruthers: This happened in between the last book

[“ManBQue”] and this one. I had heard about this Hot Dog University, so I wrote an email one night and explained that I was a writer and that I love hot dogs so much and that I would absolutely love to come to Hot Dog University and write an article about it. The day the first book came out, we were having a release party at Hot Doug’s in Chicago – RIP – and I got a voicemail from Mark Reitman, the guy who runs Hot Dog University. He told me to call him back because he could ‘make all of my hot dog dreams come true.’ It was amazing. It was like something out of a book.

It’s a two- or three-day class, and it talks about all the ins and outs of running a business. The cooking of the hot dogs is the easiest part. It’s the exact opposite of like, make pasta on date night type of thing. It’s for people whose obsession with the hot dog business goes beyond healthy. Honestly, if I won the lottery tomorrow, I would open a hot dog stand.

Weber: Is there a food in the book that sounds unappealing by name or nature but is something that you shouldn’t pass up? Or on the other end, have you tried a recipe that sounds amazing but it’s something that should be avoided?

Carruthers: Oh man. What we thought was a really

good idea for the first book was making hops wings.

As you know, we’re big beer fans. We know people who grow their own hops and are home brewers and whatnot. We like the idea of embracing the rich, buttery nature of a wing with hops, but it was a colossal failure. You can just turn something into aspirin so fast.

There are definitely recipes that my family has gone through and were like, “really?” The No. 4½ Broccoli Sub is really amazing, and it’s not that the broccoli is so amazing, but something about the combination of ingredients for that one is really, really great. Ours probably isn’t as great as the one we ate in New York, but it’s definitely worth trying.

It’s delicious.

Weber: This book sort of challenges the currently popular organic, farm-to-table lifestyle that’s all the rage.

What’s your stance on quality ingredients, and what’s your

message to your readers in regards to the definition of “good food?”

Carruthers: I don’t want it to seem like I’m telling

everybody to buy garbage food. I think it’s just balancing the fact that I know I live in a large city with a farmer’s market on every other block, and I know that I, personally, can afford pretty good ingredients, and I think in certain circumstances they’re better.

But at the same time, certain writers that I really like get so focused on the cooking of the food that they seem sort of get personally offended by buying chicken at a grocery store or tomatoes that aren’t from an heirloom variety. We’re just trying to tell people to have a little sanity, but don’t eat crap.

If you’re making it at home and someone has already taken nine out of the 10 steps of preparation for you, it’s probably not going to be that great. I’m not going to fly off on a rant about processed meats because a lot of what we do at home is just replicating these industrial processes. The idea is just to figure out what you’re eating, put a little bit of effort toward it and try to buy raw if you can.

Weber: ManBQue seems to stick to their guns about making good food that tastes good and not worrying about the calorie counts. Do you consider yourselves the bad boys of cookbook culture or the last pioneers of just plain, good food?

Carruthers: You’re dead on in that you’ll never find

a mention of calories in our book, but ultimately, the idea is that the way the food market behaves and as the way normal people buying groceries become more local, seasonal and fresh, we are all for it and we will happily make that journey with them. All we’re trying to do is not exclude anyone on the way. We don’t want to put food culture at such a high level that most people think they shouldn’t bother anymore. You shouldn’t have to be that into it to feed yourself.

Weber: I see that you’re not a fan of the term “foodie.”

What would you consider your readers to be that take the same attitude towards the term?

Carruthers: Ugh. Foodie. Can you put my sigh in a

special font? There’s just this idea where if you can just sum up everything about it in one cutesy word, it seems like a fad. It shouldn’t be your hobby to feed

yourself. If you’re really into it – great. If you only want to find quick things to make on a weeknight – great. Just don’t turn it into one word that you can just throw away when something new comes around.

Weber: So you’re clearly a fan of beer. Kudos. I see it paired with all of your recipes, but I don’t see it used very often as a component. Are beer flavors better to be enjoyed as a complement to the meal rather than an ingredient?

Carruthers: A lot of the pretentious, bearded, ‘guys

in our 30s’ beer that we drink have a lot of flavors going on. If you dump it into nine other ingredients, it doesn’t always give you the best result. This time around, we had fewer long marinades, which is what we would have often used beer for. You don’t want to use a lot of hop flavors because they will quickly overwhelm everything else, and you don’t just want to dump a really expensive beer into a chili. We could write a whole book of just cooking with beer but I think this is just how it shook out this time.

Weber: Of the three of you who worked on the book, you seem to be the writer of the group. Are you responsible for the majority of the recipe intros in the book?

Carruthers: Yeah. I like saying really dumb things

about food. You just kind of write what you feel. And for example, runzas get an intro because, what the heck is a runza? It’s probably a function of the fact that there’s thousands of better pure cooks out there, but do they know who Voltron is? Do they swear? No. With some of this, I think if it’s fun, then people might try it. If an intro can give a recipe like a 2 percent chance that someone is going to cook it, then I think it’s worth doing the intro to.

Weber: What’s next for ManBQue? Carruthers: We’d definitely like to continue work-

ing with breweries to make different beers. At the same time, we’d love to get started on another book, and we will hopefully have something on the digital airwaves soon and we are relaunching our website.

We figured out that it’s fun to be successful and have a book to promote, but as long as we can still meet up every month and just grill and drink beer and slap each other on the back, that’s good enough.

FRED KAISER

Hometown: Crystal Lake Latest Book: “The 24 Hour Run Experience”

F

red Kaiser knows a little something about motivation. For almost 18 years, the physical education teacher at Lundahl Middle School in Crystal Lake has coached hundreds of students in sixth through eighth grades to run for 24 hours.

“To get middle school kids to run a mile without walking is a struggle for a lot of people,” Kaiser said.

“We don’t have great runners necessarily, they’re just motivated kids.”

The idea originated from Tony Calabrese, a teacher at Glenbrook South High School, who made the 24-hour run a requirement for his seniors to graduate. Though his students were younger, Kaiser was confident he could bring the run to Lundahl on a volunteer basis.

Kaiser said the motivation to get children involved starts in the classroom, where he does a lot of preparation to get students excited about class and be OK stepping out of their comfort zones. So when the run comes around each year, students not naturally inclined to volunteer to run for 24 hours are willing to give it a try.

“They know how to take the risk, and they know how to set goals at that point,” Kaiser said.

From 3 p.m. May 26 to 3 p.m. May 27, 280 students – one third of the school – again will hit the track. A What’s it about?

“The 24 Hour Run Experience” tells the story of one school’s challenge to motivate students, to do the impossible, through physical education. The publication is both a memoir and a guide to what has been a very successful endeavor. The publication shows what is possible and what is required to find inner strength. It teaches you to be successful in difficult situations and in life, and how to build characteristics of success one step at a time.

Where did the idea come from?

I’ve put on this event at Lundahl Middle School coming up on 18 years. It involves over a third of the school that volunteers to run in teams for 24 hours. With incredible parent and community support, it has influenced and changes many lives. A friend and colleague (also an author) convinced me this program needed to be shared with others who can’t come to my presentations, both in the motivation in why it works and the stories of the event. After three years, I finally started the process and decided to organize my thoughts on paper.

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

Publisher: Wood N Barnes Publishing Release Date: March 30, 2016

parent and an alumni team also participate in the run, and members of the community are invited to attend to cheer on the teams.

Students train for six weeks before the 24-hour run.

Kaiser said the strict requirements – that students run a half mile three times a week, building up to 2½ miles, without walking and submit a log sheet of their runs – teaches responsibility and integrity. If they miss a training run one week or turn in their log sheet late, they can’t run. During the event, students will run 1 mile at a time, with almost a two-hour break in between while their teammates take their turn. The 2½ miles run during training is done to simulate running a mile at 3 a.m., Kaiser said, when they are tired, hungry and cold. “It teaches them to be comfortable about being uncomfortable,” he said. By the end of the 24 hours, each member of the team will have run a total of 12 miles.

Kaiser has written a book, “The 24 Hour Run Experience,” to share the run’s success stories with others.

Kaiser said there now are a dozen other schools that are doing their own versions of the 24-hour run, including Cary-Grove Middle School, whose run is in its second year and will be the same day as the run at Lundahl. He shares some details of the book and his own motivation in this week’s Author Spotlight:

Adventure education. In a society that is more interested in testing and data of students, this event and book proves applied adventure education is just as, and more, important than any grade.

Who is the intended audience?

This book is intended to be a guide to educators, teachers to superintendents, for what’s possible in education. It’s a motivational piece for parents and students about experiences that can be carried forward in life. This book includes the experiences leading up to the 24-hour run, hour by hour observations and reflections, and how the event is completed, along with inspirational quotes that tell the story.

Why is this story important to you?

If something happened in your life that positively impacted thousands of students and families, would you share the information? That’s what teachers do. We share for the benefit of our students to provide the best opportunity possible for everyone. The 24 Hour Challenge Run has changed how I teach, increased the attitude and motivation of my students and received unbelievable support from the parents. It has had a positive impact of the overall climate of the school since

it’s beginning in 1999. I felt it was time to share the story outside of our community to hopefully inspire others to take a risk and start living life outside their comfort zone.

emotional to write, but I felt the passion in what I was doing. The hardest part was letting my family read my first draft and wondering if it would be good enough to take the next step.

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

I spent two years seriously thinking about the idea and what it would look like. Sleepless nights and long drives organized my thoughts and got me more excited as I molded the story in my head. I was filled with the passion as I locked in the style and story to be told. I no longer could sleep, and I knew it was time to start writing. I do not consider myself a writer, and it’s always been difficult for me (including filling out this Author Spotlight), but once I started, I felt like I couldn’t stop. I was obsessed for nearly three months as the thoughts poured out just like I’d been thinking about them for the past two years. I couldn’t write fast enough. After repeated tweaks and corrections, I finally stepped away and took a deep breath and felt good about what I wrote.

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

I targeted a publisher that I felt fit the style and the story I had told. I was calculatedly lucky and was accepted from the first publisher I sent it to.

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

What I enjoyed most was reliving some of the emotional stories that were both heartbreaking and inspirational. At times it was

What is your education/background?

Graduating from Eastern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Science in physical education, I went on to get a master’s degree in school administration from Northern Illinois University.

Have you written anything else?

Just love notes to my wife!

What’s next for you?

Do what I can to help get the book out there to the public. During this whole process, I keep telling my wife I plan on making tens and tens of dollars from this book and will hopefully be able to take her out to dinner. Other than that, concentrate on my teaching and provide inspirational ways to keep people active.

Family becomes tangled around son’s addiction “Jackie” was born in Sioux City, Iowa. Her dad was a pharmacist and her mom a teacher. She and her two sisters lived a pretty normal life until her mom died unexpectedly when she was 13. Her dad was never the same, and sadness permeated the household from that time forward. Jackie, the oldest daughter, became the caretaker.

She married young to the boy she had dated all through high school, and they had a son and a daughter. Three years into the marriage, he had an affair and left the family. Two years later, she met the man of her dreams and married again. He was a great stepdad and really seemed to love the kids. It was his second marriage, too, and he had no children from his first marriage.

Things were rosy for the first few years, but as time went on, they began to have problems with their son, “Ken.” He had learning difficulties in school, sleep problems and unexplained fears.

By middle school, he had been to sever-

al therapists and was on medication for ADHD. Slowly, the family was directing more energy and attention toward Ken and less toward the rest.

By high school, Ken was getting into minor legal scrapes and had become a regular weed smoker and weekend party drinker, although the family saw only the tip of the iceberg. Jackie was convinced Ken would grow out of his issues, which started discord between her and her husband. Ken’s sister was an honor-roll student and top-notch softball pitcher. She did her best to stay out of the house but secretly felt she consistently was getting the least attention from her parents. Ken would get in trouble, and it would be “all about Ken” for a week. She would get straight A’s, and she’d get a one-time “way to go.”

The family was a mess, and Ken did his first rehab.

Then Ken started using heroin. At first, nothing changed. He swore he’d only snort it once in a while, but when that became boring and his other asso-

REASONS TO USE A TRAVEL AGENT • Save Money!

• Making the Best Match Travel Agents are adept at matching the right destination and the right hotel with the traveler.

Understanding a customer’s needs and knowing a customer’s lifestyle, agents are in a unique position to send you on the perfect vacation.

• Recommendations Because good agents know their customers so well, their expert guidance can put your mind at ease and make you confident with your selections and purchases.

• Consumer Advocate Always looking out for your best interest, travel agents demand that customers get fair treatment from travel suppliers.

• Problem Solving When things go wrong or plans change, a travel agent is always there to seamlessly straighten it out—a live person with a friendly face.

• Enhancing the Trip Agents offer value and amenities by providing including or extras at no cost.These may come in the form of gifts or special promotions not available elsewhere.

ciates were using needles, he thought he’d try, too. Within a year, Ken had lost his job and was sleeping days and going out at night. His only avocation had become finding heroin, buying heroin, using heroin, worrying about finding more heroin, stealing money and possessions from home to pay for heroin, etc. There was no way to hide his addiction from anyone. Ken did his second rehab.

The family, at this point, was focused around Ken’s addiction and its consequences. They were spending every day waiting for the phone call that Ken had overdosed and died and they’d be left with the feeling they hadn’t’ done enough. They certainly all were adversely affected (sister embarrassed, ashamed and resentful; mom obsessed, scared and hurt; stepdad angry, alienated and powerless).

The family had made numerous attempts to avoid “codependent” responses to Ken’s addiction, but with little understanding and no support,

the attempts turned into all or nothing ultimatums or grudging concessions and ended in nerve-jarring family and marital battles.

Ken’s criminal activity finally caught up with him when Jackie had him arrested for trespassing and theft.

With the assistance of probation, Ken ended up in long-term rehab specifically for young heroin addicts. This gave Jackie and her family the time they needed to begin to address their own problems. They started in a parents support group and added Al Anon family groups. They started a recovery of their own not based on Ken’s recovery or lack of it.

Ken graduated successfully and after one relapse, is living in a sober house and doing well.

A Family History 70 years ago, back in 1946, Harold Steffan decided that he and his wife Teresa should become business owners. They scoured McHenry to find the perfect location and finally settled on the building that now houses Plum Garden. Harold was a skilled watchmaker but wanted to try his hand at selling other items as well, but he just didn’t know what that would be yet. So they decided to have quite the eclectic little store offering random items such as jewelry, cards, watch repairs, and other random little trinkets that were just as fun to buy, as they were to look at. It wasn’t until the1960’s when they moved their store into a small space over on Green Street that they really began to focus their inventory on fine jewelry.

Around that time, the grandkids started to lend a hand at the store. Some of my mom, Kathy’s, earliest memories of working at Steffan’s include the McHenry sidewalk sales. She said that they would sell mystery grab bags that contained a slew of random things for only $1 per bag. Their table was always busy since the mystery that surrounded those bags far outweighed their minimal cost of a buck.

After several years of running a successful business, Harold and Teresa decided it was time to pass ownership down to their daughter, Marie. The store was quickly growing in popularity and the business was booming. It was time to move the store to its 3rd location, over to the Mill Pond Court shopping center off of 120. I like to refer to that location as the “pink store” because all of the décor throughout the store was in some shade of pink.

My earliest memories of working at Steffan’s began in that store. Being the only grandchild at the time, I remember going to work with my Grandma or my mom and getting to test watch batteries. I thought I was actually working and helping but I was really just doing busy work to stay out of everyone’s hair. While I was testing watch batteries, my Aunt Suzanne was busy studying to be a Gemologist and the future owner of the store, which unfortunately came way earlier than anyone expected.

At the premature age of 51, my Grandmother Marie suddenly passed away leaving Suzanne at the helm. She quickly got the hang of things and a few years later decided it was time to move and expand again. In 1998, the Fountain Shops was built, which is the current location of Steffan’s. The store had a larger showroom and bigger shop to accommodate our growing customer base. There were also new jewelry lines being introduced with the most popular one being Hearts on Fire Diamonds. Over the years, Suzanne has created several fun annual events to showcase our jewelry, exceptional customer service and most importantly our commitment and appreciation for our customers.

We will be celebrating the 70th anniversary of Steffan’s throughout the entire summer with fun super sales, scavenger hunts, random jewelry giveaways and so much more. Stay tuned to our Facebook page and website for all of this summer’s great events!

NORTHWEST HERALD UNION – Baseball has changed a lot since it was played in 1860. But it’s still possible to catch up on the original lingo and rules that first made the game great.

The McHenry County Historical Society’s “club nine,” the McHenry County Independants, will play three games this season. The first is at 1 p.m. June 4 against the Eagle Diamonds Base Ball Club at Old

A player steps up to bat at last year’s game.

World Wisconsin in Eagle, Wisconsin.

A home-and-home series begins at 2 p.m. June 12 against the Grayslake Athletics. The first game will be at Prairie Grove’s Village Hall Park off Ames and Barreville roads.

The second is at 4 p.m. Aug. 27 at Central Park in Grayslake. Prospective players must be fit enough to run the bases (even slowly) and commit to playing in at least two of the games. Both events are free.

This type of Civil War-era baseball, or “base ball” as it was called, differed radically from today’s rules. Players did not use gloves.

A ball caught on the first bounce was considered an out, and a ball was considered fair or foul based solely on where it first touched the ground.

Those interested in playing can email historical society administrator Kurt Begalka at kurt@mchenrycountyhistory.org.

CL girl wins jewelry contest

Helping Honeymooners

since 1984

NORTHWEST HERALD When Chloe Dingle, 10, of Crystal Lake, tried to think of a present for her mom for Mother’s Day, she wanted to find something special.

Her grandmother, Carol Dingle, encouraged her to enter a jewelry design contest at Dalzell Jewelers in Crystal Lake, but the competition was stiff.

After years of offering to replicate a ring designed by a child for Mother’s Day, the company took last year off due to the difficulty in recreating the incredible styles children are able to imagine, said Eric Blum, store manager. The company reintroduced the contest this year, offering to recreate a pendant for the winning designer.

After years of waning interest, Blum said, they received 55 entries this year.

Chloe Dingle designed a pendant in the shape of a circle, divided into puzzle pieces containing the initials of her family members.

“I thought it was really cool,” said Blum, who debated the designs with fellow store employees, ultimately choosing hers as the winner. The pendant was made of sterling silver, with the initials and frame in 14-karat gold.

“The pendant is an absolutely

“It’s crazy how amazing it is.”

The back is inscribed with wording Chloe wrote on her entry: “All of our puzzle pieces fit together because we are family and we stay all in one.”
