Dreams help sort through thoughts if they stick around The other day I woke up with a ZIP code on my mind, left over from an early-morning dream.

It was 70726, and I repeated it to myself over and over until I could write it down because, as we all know, dreams have a way of vanishing into nothingness as soon as you wake up.

I dream, but I have a hard time remembering them, and I put a lot of stock into dreams. They give you ideas on what to do or not do because your mind is cleared from all the underbrush of living in the wide-awake world. Dreams give you a chance to sort things through in your mind, even if you don’t fully remember them.

My earliest recollection of a dream was a nightmare, one that has reappeared from time to time over the years. It was my youthful introduction to infinity. I was at the bottom of tremendous pile of sand, and I had a shovel. It was my job to get rid of that pile of sand. But no matter how much I shoveled, the sand kept replacing itself, and I was no further ahead than when I started. I shoveled and shoveled, but made no progress. That was infinity, and it scared me senseless.

Most of my dreams these days are pleasant, not the nightmares I used to have, and for that, I am thankful. Nightmares still come, but they are few and far between. I wish I could remember my dreams and learn from them, but they slip away too fast.

Years ago, I tried documenting dreams that would wake me up in the middle of the night.

First, I tried writing them down in a journal, but my handwriting was completely unreadable. It was like I held the pen and ran squiggly lines across the page. Then I tried a tape recorder, but it was like my mouth was full of marbles and the words unintelligible. So much for that.

Recently, I had a dream where I was in band class, and my instrument was the clarinet. While everyone was tuning up, I was trying to think of a way to play another instrument, having already mastered the clarinet. Then, I was playing the drums, followed by the trumpet, and I was pretty happy, but I still had my clarinet just in case. In dreams, you can handle more than one instrument at a time.

Somehow I was able to hang on to the clarinet while playing the other instruments. Dreams are that way; the impossible becomes the possible.

The trouble is, I don’t play an instrument, and I was never in band.

Because anything is possible in dreams, in another dream I just had, I was three different people: The pastor, the parent and the child.

The church had a large metal bowl full of coins,

VIEWS Dick Peterson mostly quarters, and children could fill their boxes up with coins, with the instruction that the money was to go to a worthy cause. I, the child and the parent, had just given the last of the coins to someone who was poor.

We went back to the church for more coins, and I, the pastor, asked what I did with the money. I, the child, told myself, we had given it to a poor man. And I, the pastor, had a skeptical look on my face. But I, the child, ignored that, and filled my box again, feeling a little guilty but knowing I had done the right thing.

But 70726? What could that possibly mean?

I did a quick search of the Incredible Internet and found that it was the ZIP code for Denham Springs, Louisiana, population 10,097.

I don’t recall being in Denham Springs in my dream, all remember is waking up with the numbers coming out of my mouth. And if I was repeating them after just waking up, they had to mean something, so I kept repeating them until I could write the numbers down because I knew how transitory dreams were. If I stopped repeating it, I would soon forget.

Denham Springs is a pretty unremarkable town, 85 miles northwest of New Orleans and 13 miles east of Baton Rouge in Livingston Parish.

The temperature there this week is in the midto upper 80s with humidity anywhere from 88 percent to 94 percent. Ugh. You can almost wring the water out of the air it is so humid.

And there’s a squabble over the police chief who was fired over a domestic violence incident involving a member of the city council. And sheriff’s police are on the lookout for a woman who is stealing plants and trees from backyards, a novel approach at landscaping on a budget.

While dreaming about Denham Springs – it’s ZIP code, actually – should prompt me to take action, I have no desire to visit anytime soon.

It’s almost 1,000 miles away directly south, and I couldn’t handle the humidity. It’s only a dream.

If only. This time, there has to be some hidden meaning that eluding me.

Paul Hayden, a Crystal Lake resident and World War II veteran who died in 2006 at age 82, was honored posthumously with the high school diploma he never received.

His 91-year-old wife, Marge Hayden, and his four children accepted the diploma on his behalf as a part of Saturday’s Operation Recognition at the Crystal Lake South High School’s commencement ceremony.

OPERATION RECOGNITION

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com

RYSTAL LAKE – Nearly 500 graduating Crystal Lake South High School seniors crossed the stage Saturday, but one graduate was only there in spirit.

Paul Hayden, a Crystal Lake resident and World War II veteran who died in 2006 at the age of 82, was honored posthumously with

the high school diploma he never received. His 91-year-old wife and four children accepted the diploma on his behalf as part of Operation Recognition.

The Illinois law was enacted in 2007 and allows veterans who served in active duty and did not complete high school requirements to receive a high school diploma.

Tom Hayden, Paul’s son, said he wasn’t aware his father had not finished high school until after his

World War II veteran receives high school diploma posthumously

father died. He said his dad always valued education and made sure each of his children made it a priority as well.

“It wasn’t a point of embarrassment for him, he just really wanted his kids to go to school,” Tom Hayden said.

Paul Hayden was born and raised on a farm in Kentucky. When he was about 16 or 17 years old, he borrowed a suit from his brother and moved to Crystal Lake to attend

school, Tom Hayden said.

He said that while his father was in school, the war was heightened, and so he decided to leave school and serve his country.

“A lot of people don’t understand how many young men had to leave their homes for war and not return to school,” Tom Hayden said.

Paul Hayden served as a medic during World War II for three years.

2 score perfect 36 on ACT

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Two Huntley High School juniors recently received some news that very few students across the country will get.

Seventeen-year-olds Savannah Siedler and Caitlin Murray joined a small fraction of students who scored a perfect composite score of 36 on the ACT, Voice your and both were surprised to opinion learn the news.

“It’s pretty crazy,” Siedler What did said. “When you think about all the kids at my school and the you score on kids at surrounding schools your ACT? who took it, it’s crazy. I can’t Vote online at believe I did it.”

NWHerald.

The perfect score is known com. for being a rarity in academic testing as less than one-tenth of 1 percent of all test-takers achieve it, ACT officials have said. According to information sent to students who got a perfect score, only 1,598 out of 1.92 million who took the test earned a composite score of 36 in the class of 2015.

“I honestly thought there was some kind of

mistake at first,” Murray said, laughing. “I was really excited about it though.”

While perfect 36s are few and far between across all test-takers, Murray and Siedler were not the only ones to hit the mark in McHenry County.

Cody Brock, a home-schooled student in Crystal Lake, scored a 36 this school year as did junior Teresa Fisher and senior Jacob Anderson, both of Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155. A senior from Community Unit School District 300’s Jacobs High School also got a perfect score.

“These are our first students to achieve a 36 in a couple years,” Huntley High School Principal Scott Rowe said of Siedler and Murray.

“Regardless of how frequent or infrequent, it’s a special thing.

“These are two great kids who have done great things so far and who, as only juniors – they’re going to have the world at their feet.”

Murray knows she wants to attend a fouryear university and, at this point, wants to major in physics.

Siedler said her interests currently lie in neuroscience research. She plans to visit several schools over the summer.

Board working on capital plan Finance and Audit Committee hashing out $33.9M of upgrades

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A plan working its way through a McHenry County Board committee would prioritize $33.9 million in repairs and upgrades to its capital assets over the next four years.

The trick is how to pay for them given that the County Board has little appetite for borrowing and no appetite whatsoever for collecting more in property taxes.

The Finance and Audit Committee last week recommended approval of a

list of 15 projects to be tackled through 2019. Ten of the projects are preserving and repairing existing assets, while the remaining five are capital outlay for new infrastructure.

At the same time, the committee made numerous changes to the accompanying resolution, most importantly to make clear that each project would have to get an approval vote from the County Board, said committee Chairman Mike Skala, R-Huntley. The committee will review the changes county staff makes before sending the list to the full board.

The largest proposal is replacing the Annex B building used by the McHenry County Department of Health at a cost of $15 million.

The small brick building on the Woodstock campus holding the courthouse, county jail and sheriff’s office is used to administer the communicable

Zoning board reconsiders changes to code restrictions

By CAITLIN SWIECA

LAKE IN THE HILLS – The village’s zoning board will take another look at recent changes to its zoning code that were intended to encourage sales tax-generating uses within the village’s commercial districts.

The decision to reconsider the ordinances came after a number of Realtors, business owners and property owners sent letters to trustees about concerns regarding the changes.

About 20 of those people came to Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting to discuss the change, although none spoke after Village President Paul Mulcahy opened the meeting by saying he would send the issue back to the village’s Planning & Zoning Commission.

The changes, passed by the Village Board on March 24, require that nonsales tax-generating businesses looking to open within certain commercial districts would have to apply for a conditional use permit.

The ordinance states the developer would have to provide evidence that “the benefits to the village provided by the proposed conditional use are greater than the benefits provided by a use which generates retail sales tax.”

Affected business types included medical and business offices, repair services, financial institutions, health clubs and businesses that offer classes

disease and WIC programs and to give vaccinations.

Big-ticket maintenance proposals include $1.9 million to replace the roof of the county government center and $6.1 million to redesign, rebuild and expand its parking.

Most of the proposed new additions are related to security. The plan proposes $440,000 for security camera upgrades, $412,500 for video systems in sheriff’s deputy squad cars, and $2.1 million for door camera systems at the county jail.

Skala said he would like to convene a Committee of the Whole at a later date so the County Board can discuss what existing revenues can be used to pay for the proposed improvements as they come.

“We have some serious discussions that need to take place,” Skala said.

such as dance or martial arts.

The changes also said that no more than 20 percent of the floor area of a multi-tenant commercial building could consist of businesses that don’t generate sales taxes unless an exception was made.

According to a memo from Community Development Director Dan Olson, the village in 2013 considered creating a district along Randall Road with restrictions only allowing retail uses, but did not go through with it. A similar change was discussed again in 2014.

Mike Deacon, a real Paul estate broker who said Mulcahy he sent letters to trustees, said there are concerns about the extra hurdle hurting the long-term market values of retail property.

“I think it’s a well-intentioned concept, but it’s somewhat misguided,” Deacon said.

If the zoning board decides to propose changes, they would return to the Village Board for a public hearing and vote, Mulcahy said.

“In the meantime, the current ordinance would stay in effect, but there is the opportunity for a request for conditional use,” Mulcahy said. “I would think that, since we’re in the process of considering the ordinance, that might be a rather friendly application.”

8 ALGONQUIN

Library mulling options for upgrades, expansion

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Trustees of the Algonquin Area Public Library now have several expansion options to consider after Dewberry Architects presented six potential plans at the board’s meeting last week.

The board had asked to see additional options before going ahead with a fullscale improvement, which added three extra areas totaling 8,000 square feet.

The options presented Thursday ranged from making only necessary capital upgrades – such as an HVAC system and new roof, which would cost $1 million – to the full $8 million expansion plan.

Other options included a $4.4 million interior renovation, a $6.9 million plan that added two areas and included interior renovations and a plan that added 8,000 square feet as part of one consolidated wing to the north.

Adding 8,000 square feet as one wing rather than three would save about $500,000 and take a few months off con-

struction time, Bero said, but the plan is not ideal with regards to the library’s current layout.

Bero said the board is committed to doing renovation without a referendum, and the library still plans to let its bonds drop off in 2018, which he said will reduce the library’s tax bills to residents by 12 percent.

The proposed changes are geared toward adding space for services that patrons have requested, such as more meeting spaces, computer classrooms, a teenager area, maker spaces and interactive play areas for children.

Bero said the library’s Facilities Committee will schedule a meeting in the near future to look at the plans indepth. Expansion also will be on the agenda for possible action at the board’s meeting June 22.

“The board has a lot to think about,” Bero said. “We kind of showed what’s possible.”

Library officials are aiming for a September 2017 groundbreaking. Bero said construction for the most extensive plan would take 14 to 15 months.

LOCAL BRIEFS Pet grooming business could be coming to Algonquin

ALGONQUIN – A pet grooming business could be coming to Main Street after a proposal for a conditional use permit was moved forward by the Committee of the Whole this week.

A business called Scoo-B-Do’s is being proposed by Wendy Faber for a vacant 900-square-foot tenant space in the building at 1113 S. Main St., which is near Main Street and Edgewood Drive.

The proposal states the business would be open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Tuesday through Saturday.

Four people would work at the business and serve about nine to 12 customers per day.

According to minutes from the May 9 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Faber has been in business for 20 years in East Dundee and operates at four locations, three of which are within boarding facilities.

She said has a number of clients from the Algonquin area and wanted to open the shop to better serve them.

The business will offer dog and cat grooming and nail clipping.

Huntley veterans memorial set for July 2 dedication

HUNTLEY – The Huntley Area Veterans Memorial will be opened at a dedication ceremony at noon July 2 in the town square, organizers announced.

The ceremony will feature a flag-raising ceremony, recognition of Gold Star fallen heroes and a message from Maj. Leonard Wiliams of the Army National Guard.

The monument and pre-purchased engraved bricks should be installed in late June and installed in time for the dedication, organizers said.

The monument will include black granite slabs recognizing each branch of service, a flag for each branch and a POW and Purple Hearts bench.

President Dawn Ellison said nearly $125,000 has been raised over the past two years to make the memorial a reality. That number included a $45,000 contribution from the village.

Organizers also are encouraging local veterans to include their name on a virtual monument at huntleyveterans. org.

The online listing will be continually updated to include new veterans and is meant as a perpetual monument for the community. More than 800 names have been collected online along with information about their service, organizers said.

Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day pays homage to veterans – living and dead – in a number of ways.

But parades have remained an integral part of the patriotic celebration.

Parades date from before Christian times, when they were used as political and military tools to showcase the might and prowess of local leaders – be they from Mesopotamia, Rome or beyond. Closer to home and more cherished in our hearts and minds are the local parades commemorating local festivities, celebrities and hometown accomplishments. Red, white and blue play a prominent role across McHenry County on Memorial Day, with plenty of flag waving, cheering and esprit de corps. This picture dates from 1920 in Union, looking north on Main Street toward the railroad tracks. A parade is planned this year for 8 a.m. Monday in Union.

LOCAL BRIEF

said his father met his mother, Marge, and they had their first child.

Paul Hayden knew he had to work to take care of his family, and so he got a job with the Illinois Bell Telephone Co. He worked there for at least 30 years before he retired.

Tom Hayden said being part of Saturday’s ceremony helped provide the graduating students and their parents

THE

a bit of history, and allowed them to be part of that history as well.

He said he knows his father would have been thrilled at the honor, and having his mother there to accept the diploma means that much more.

“We all sat around and shed a couple of tears and wished my dad could be here in person,” Tom Hayden said of he and his family discussing the honor. “Better late than never.”

District 300-inspired bill 2016 SPRINGTIME clears General Assembly

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com A bill inspired by a Community Unit School District 300 dual-credit program is headed to Gov. Bruce Rauner’s desk after receiving unanimous support from both the Illinois House and Senate.

House Bill 5561, brought by Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, cleared the Senate by a vote of 56-0 Wednesday after it passed the House in April with a 115-0 vote.

It creates a voluntary pilot program that allows high schools to partner with community colleges to create dual-credit opportunities for students.

At District 300, where one such program has been approved by the board, is rolling out its initiative next year with a group of 30 seniors.

According to the bill, any coursework completed by high school students in a community college will be transferable to all public universities in Illinois on the same basis as coursework finished by community college

students.

Under the bill, colleges also would have the right to limit the courses offered to high-schoolers and may charge nontuition fees.

The partnerships resulting from the legislation will be studied, and reports will be made to the General Assembly, as well as the governor.

The pilot program has a sunset date of three years to allow for legislators to review it, according to a release from the Rep. David McSweeney General Assembly.

“This is an effort to help students save money on their college tuition costs and to better assist them in the transition from high school to college,” McSweeney said in the release, also thanking Sen. Michael Connelly, R-Wheaton, who sponsored the bill in the Senate. “Given our state’s uncertain economic climate, we need to be looking at ways to reduce education costs and to help equip young people with the tools they need to succeed.”

He entered the banking business and moved to Woodstock in 1963 to manage the First Savings and Loan of Woodstock until 1969. He then purchased the Tappan Insurance Agency, which was renamed Woodstock Insurance for the next 26 years.

During his time in Woodstock, Bill was an active member of the community. He was one of the first trustees on the McHenry County College Board; an original board member of Easter Seals; past chairman of the Woodstock Fire and Police Commission. In addition, Bill was a charter member of the Woodstock Noon Rotary Club and the first treasurer of Christmas Clearing House. He was a past member of the Woodstock Country Club and enjoyed playing in their Calcuttas.

In 1982, he was appointed to the board of directors of the The State Bank of Woodstock (now Harris Bank) and served in that capacity for 25 years.

Survivors include his wife Lisa of Woodstock; his son, William P. Banker, Camas,

Washington; five daughters, Catherine Banker, Cynthia (Brent) Unmisig, Jeanne (Brent) Dudgeon, all of Quincy, Illinois; Margaret Banker, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin; and Ellyn (Rick) Knox of Woodstock; grandchildren Bradley, Bryce and Bailey Unmisig; Alexis Banker; Sydney and Quinn Mueller; and Jordyn and Ethan Knox.

STATE

Students give vets ‘their identity back’

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – With more than a century of rain, wind, snow and pollution conspiring to erase what was once carved into a row of headstones, about the only thing anyone in the tiny north-central Illinois community of Odell knew of the men buried there was that they’d fought in the Civil War. That’ll be different this Memorial Day at Odell Township Cemetery, thanks to scientific detective work by local high school students and a federal government agency that was impressed enough with their work to send new grave markers to the community 90 miles southwest of Chicago.

“These kids gave these men their identity back,” said Harold Schook, a 74-year-old Air Force veteran who every year at this time plants small American flags near area veterans’ graves with his American Legion buddies.

The last three of five new headstones arrived last month and were put in place with the others – the final chapter in a story that began a couple years ago when Schook contacted Paul Ritter, a high school science teacher at Pontiac Township High School who’d had his students study the effects of acid rain

Medical pot advocates cheer governor’s about-face

CHICAGO – Medical marijuana advocates are applauding Gov. Bruce Rauner’s about-face on expanding Illinois’ pilot program in length and qualifying conditions, saying it will allow time to show the program is worthwhile and will help more patients – including many veterans – who are suffering.

Democratic state Rep. Lou Lang announced late Friday that he, the Republican governor and the GOP’s House leader agreed to extend Illinois’ four-year pilot program until July 2020. It had been set to end by 2018, but supporters argued more time was needed because medical cannabis sales only started in November 2015 after years of trying to get the project off the ground.

do was give them their names back so people can know who they are.”

The students tried etching the tombstones, then smearing them with shaving cream, knowing tiny ridges can appear when it dissolves. Nothing worked.

At the suggestion of a student, they took a color photograph of the markers, and then turned it black and white.

Nothing again. But when they reversed those two colors: “We started (seeing) some letters,” Ritter said.

Using those letters, the students compared them with a registry of the 157 Civil War veterans in Livingston County, Ritter said. Before long, they had their five names: James Wightman, Warren Newton, William Dudley, Thomas Thompson, and Thomas McNulty Vincent.

The students then went to work finding out all they could about the five; at least one died in battle.

The research on Vincent even led them to one of his descendants, Ken Falkson, of Cary, about 100 miles north.

Falkson said he knew that his greatgreat-great-grandfather was buried in Odell and had even visited years ago.

“It is important for the kids because it gives them a connection to the community (and) it makes history come alive for them,” Falkson said.

U of Illinois contract gives non-tenured faculty raises

URBANA – A new labor contract between the University of Illinois and faculty members who aren’t on a tenure track provides retroactive merit raises, higher minimum salaries and academic freedom protections.

The union and the university announced the agreement in April, after members held two short strikes.

The News-Gazette reports that the minimum salary will increase from $40,000 to $43,000 in 2017 for a full-time, nonvisiting specialized faculty member with a nine-month appointment. That amount will rise to $45,000 in 2018.

Members also will be eligible for merit-based raises provided in a 2.5 percent campus salary program announced in 2014. Departments decide the size of the raises.

The contract is the first for the union, which has about 500 instructors, researchers and other faculty who typically work on one-year contracts.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS WHO rejects call to move or postpone Rio Olympics

BERLIN – The World Health Organization on Saturday rejected a call from 150 health experts to consider postponing or moving the Rio Summer Olympics due to the Zika virus in hard-hit Brazil, arguing that the shift would make no significant difference to the spread of the virus.

The U.N. health agency, which declared the spread of Zika in the Americas a global emergency in February, said in a statement there is “no public health justification” for postponing or canceling the 2016 games, which run from Aug. 5-21.

In an open letter to the WHO director-general released Friday, experts called for the Rio games to be delayed or relocated, though not canceled, “in the name of public health.”

Syria rebels attacked by IS militants, gov’t troops

BEIRUT – Islamic State militants entered a major Syrian opposition stronghold in the country’s north on Saturday, clashing with rebels on the edges of the town as the extremist group builds on its most significant advance near the Turkish border in two years – even as it loses ground elsewhere in the country and in neighboring Iraq.

The town of Marea, just north

of Aleppo city, has long been considered a bastion of relatively moderate Syrian revolutionary forces fighting to topple Assad.

Pilots honor comrade who crashed WWII plane

NEW YORK – Air show pilots performed an aerial salute Saturday to their comrade who died after his World War II-era plane crashed in the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey a day earlier.

The P-47 Thunderbolt crashed Friday night during a promotional flight for the American Airpower Museum on Long Island, which is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the P-47 this weekend.

The plane’s pilot, William Gordon, 56, of Key West, Florida, was a veteran air show pilot with more than 25 years of experience. New York City police scuba divers recovered his body from the wreckage of the downed aircraft Friday night, about three hours after the collision.

Scott Clyman, flight operations pilot for the American Airpower Museum, told fellow mourners at a service Saturday that Gordon had always been fascinated

by World War II fighter planes “and he quickly demonstrated the skill to master these demanding aircraft.”

Poll: Voters not excited with presidential race

By JULIE PACE and THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press

ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Mary Heintzelman shakes her head in disgust over the presidential election.

“I don’t think we have a candidate that’s really suitable to be president in either party,” says Heintzelman, an administrative assistant from Whitehall, Pennsylvania. Her son suggests she write in a candidate when she votes in November, but the 68-year-old says despondently, “I don’t even know who to write in.”

Heintzelman is hardly alone in her angst over the prospect of a November matchup between presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and likely Democratic pick Hillary Clinton.

While 65 percent of Americans say they’re interested in the White House race, just 23 percent say they’re excited as the presidential contest shifts from the primaries to the general election, according to a poll by the Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

The malaise crosses party lines. Majorities of Republicans and Democrats say the election has left them angry, helpless and frustrated. Only 13 percent of Americans say they’re proud of what has transpired in a campaign where surprising candidates have thrived and Trump in particular has defied political norms.

Election experts say the gap between Americans’ high interest and low excitement makes the race to succeed President Barack Obama highly unpredictable.

Turnout can be low when unpopular candidates are on the ballot, but the unusual nature of a race between a billionaire businessman who has never before sought elected office and a former first lady who would be the country’s first female president

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton poses for a photo Friday with Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf at the Home of Chicken and Waffles in Oakland, California. could offset voters’ sour mood.

“We’re in uncharted territory here with these two candidates,” said Michael McDonald, a political science professor at the University of Florida who studies voter turnout. He said that while Americans may not be excited about their options, “the negativity gives people something to talk about.”

“If people perceive the election is interesting, they may still show up to vote even if it’s against a candidate,” McDonald added.

Former Gov. Ed Rendell, D-Pa., predicted voter enthusiasm could increase as the general election heats up, particularly when the nominees meet in debates.

“I do believe in some ways there’s a reset in the general election,” Rendell said. “First of all, you have some voters that paid no attention and only vote in general elections.

Secondly, even the ones who paid attention, now all of a sudden there’s two candidates and six months.”

For now, though, some people say they’re resigned to an election in which they’ll be voting against a candidate instead of for one. That view was pervasive in interviews with more than 30 voters in-

terviewed by the AP in Pennsylvania. Democrats have carried the state in every presidential election since 1992, but Trump’s campaign hopes strong support from working-class white voters could swing the state back to the GOP. “Your vote isn’t who you’re for, it’s who you don’t want in,” Joann Spangenberg, a 48-year-old loan underwriter, said as she stood outside her office in downtown Allentown on a sunny afternoon. “It shouldn’t be that way.”

Spangenberg said the election is generating more interest among her family and friends than in past years, including spurring her daughter to register to vote right after her 18th birthday. But the frequent Republican voter says that while she likely will go for Trump in November, her support is lukewarm at best.

“He’s what we have left,” she said before ducking back into her office.

Pittsburgh voter Kim Bowles feels the same way about Clinton. Bowles has been intrigued by Bernie Sanders, but doesn’t think the Vermont senator can win, leaving her feeling stuck with Clinton as the only option for stopping Trump.

2 more bodies found in Texas after floods

By JUAN A. LOZANO The Associated Press

HOUSTON – The bodies of two missing motorists were found Saturday in Texas, raising the death toll to four from flooding in the state after torrential rain inundated rivers and waterways, authorities said.

The threat of severe weather had lessened in Texas over the long Memorial Day holiday weekend and the focus now is on homes that could be flooded by slowly rising waters. Evacuation orders were issued on Saturday for parts of two Texas cities along the Brazos River near Houston.

“The skies are clear and things look good. But we want to make sure people understand that we are not out of the woods yet. We have to keep an eye on water that’s coming through our bayou system,” said Francisco Sanchez, a spokesman for the Office of Emergency Management in Harris County, where Houston is located.

Other parts of the U.S. got drenched Friday, including Kansas. And on Saturday afternoon, Tropical Storm Bonnie formed in the Atlantic Ocean and brought rain and wind to the coast of South Carolina.

In Kansas, the Wichita Fire Department said Saturday that it’s searching for an 11-year-old boy who went

Ohio zoo kills gorilla to protect boy, 4, who fell into enclosure

By DAN SEWELL

The Associated Press CINCINNATI – A special zoo response team shot and killed a 17-yearold gorilla Saturday that grabbed and dragged a 4-year-old boy who fell into the gorilla exhibit moat, the Cincinnati Zoo’s director said.

Authorities said the boy, who fell 10 to 12 feet, is expected to recover after being picked up out of the moat and dragged by the gorilla for about 10 minutes. He was taken to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Zoo officials said he was alert when he was transported there.

Director Thane Maynard said the zoo’s dangerous animal response team that practices for such incidents decided the boy was in “a life-threatening situation” and that they needed to put down the 400-pound-plus male gorilla named Harambe.

“They made a tough choice and they made the right choice because they saved that little boy’s life,” Maynard said. “It could have been very bad.”

Maynard said he hadn’t talked with the boy’s parents yet. Authorities initially said the child was 3 years old, but the zoo said in a news release Saturday night that he was 4 years old.

He said the gorilla didn’t appear to be attacking the child, but he said it was “an extremely strong” animal in an agitated situation. He said tranquilizing the gorilla wouldn’t have knocked it out immediately, leaving the boy in danger.

Maynard said it was the first time that the team had killed a zoo animal in such an emergency situation, and he called it “a very sad day” at the zoo.

The lowland gorilla is an endangered species.

The incident was reported about 4 p.m. The area around the gorilla exhibit was closed off Saturday afternoon as zoo visitors reported hearing screaming.

Harambe came to Cincinnati in 2015 from the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas.

Hospital officials said they couldn’t release any information on the child.

jebhi Umatiya, 59, of College Station, was found in a submerged vehicle. The body of Darren Charles Mitchell, 21, a National Guardsman from Navasota, was found downstream from where his overturned truck had been located earlier.

That brings to four the number of people who have died in the county after more than 16.5 inches of rain fell in some places on Thursday and Friday.

The downpour washed away mobile homes and flooded other structures.

Authorities performed more than 50 water rescues.

The two other deaths in the county were Lela Holland, 64, of Washington, Texas, whose mobile home was swamped by floodwaters, and Jimmy Wayne Schaeffer, 49, of Brenham, who was swept away after driving his truck into high water.

The rising water in several Houston-area rivers and creeks prompted Harris County officials to ask about 750 families in the Northwood Pines subdivision to voluntarily evacuate their homes and apartments on Saturday.

Officials also warned residents living near the west fork of the San Jacinto River, north of Houston, that rising waters were likely to flood homes, even those that are elevated, Sanchez said.

immediately went to work.

“He saw who was the most seriously injured. He did a quick triage of the victims. He did first aid. He alerted the rescue services,” Moulin said. “Without his actions, it would have been much worse.”

Gremillet told journalists that one child’s heart had stopped beating when he arrived.

“I did first aid (and) a heart massage,” he said. The other children “were in shock.”

Dr. Pierre Carli, an emergency medical services official, later told journalists that for one of the children, “the prognosis is probably more serious and he is now hospitalized on life support.”

For the seven other children, the news was “rather good,” Carli said.

Their injuries were not considered life threatening.

He said that the condition of three of the more seriously injured children was improving, All seven of the children were placed under observation, Carli said. He identified the injured adults as two men and a woman who is the mother of some of the children.

PARIS – Eight children and three adults were struck by lightning Saturday in a Paris park after a sudden spring storm sent a bolt crashing down upon a children’s birthday party, a spokesman for Paris’ fire service said.

He credited an off-duty firefighter with playing a critical role in getting immediate medical help to the victims, but one child remains in critical condition.

Another group of people at a children’s soccer match in western Germany also were hit by lightning Saturday afternoon, leaving three adults seriously injured.

The birthday group had sought shelter under a tree at Park Monceau, a northwest Paris park popular with well-to-do families, when a lightning bolt touched down, Paris fire service spokesman Eric Moulin said. He put the children’s ages about 9.

Moulin said Cmdr. Pascal Gremillet, an off-duty firefighter, was visiting a museum nearby when he noticed the commotion and discovered nine of the 11 victims lying unconscious. He

Remembering, honoring those who gave all Barbecues, swimming, picnics, bicycling or taking in fireworks. You might be doing one – or all – of these activities this weekend.

All are typical activities for the weekend considered the unofficial kickoff to summer. It is a time to get together with family and friends – a time For the record when we appreciate all the freedoms we as Before you fire up the grill or Americans enjoy. head to a swimming pool, find But those blessings a way to remember and honor come at a cost – and that those who gave all. cost often is borne by men and women in uniform. For many, Memorial Day is a somber occasion.

Observed on the last Monday in May, Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military. The holiday started in May 1868, three years after the Civil War ended, as Decoration Day – as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website, www.va.gov.

After World War I, the definition of the day extended to recognize those who died in all U.S. wars. In 1971, an act of Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday.

There are many ways to pay your respects. In McHenry County this weekend, there will be parades, memorials, services, ceremonies and moments of silence at area veterans organizations, churches, cemeteries and town squares. The presidential proclamation issued by President Barack Obama notes that 3 p.m. Monday is the designated time for all Americans to observe, in whatever way they choose, the National Moment of Remembrance.

“With courage and a love of country that knows no limits, America’s men and women in uniform exemplify patriotism at its core – stepping into harm’s way to protect our people and to safeguard the ideals that have long sustained our democracy,” the presidential proclamation starts. “Those who serve under the stars and stripes embody the highest form of citizenship, and on Memorial Day, we pay solemn tribute to those brave Americans who laid down their lives to defend our freedom.”

So before you fire up the grill or head to a swimming pool, find a way to remember and honor those who gave all. Fly a flag. Attend a parade. Explain to your child the significance of the day. Say a prayer for the souls of military members who have died.

Take a moment to honor the sacrifice many have made that allows you to have so much.

Ignorance harmful at national parks Two unpleasant incidents in Yellowstone National Park this month demonstrate how ignorance can be harmful.

On May 14, several members of a group called High on Life SundayFundayz walked into a sensitive Yellowstone Park hot spring. That’s illegal, so three arrest warrants were issued, but authorities said the group members might already have returned to Canada by midweek.

Perhaps these “adventurers” had not heard of tourists walking off designated paths and getting scalded to death by boiling-hot water in the park. Maybe they were thrill-seekers, or folks taking a “look at me” approach.

The group initially posted photographs and video of their trek onto the Grand Prismatic Spring, but later apologized and offered to make a $5,000 donation to the park. That’s something, but they should never have gone into the spring in the first place.

Park officials said walking into a hot spring can damage

sensitive wet, soft bacterial mats inside a spring.

Yellowstone officials cited the hot springs walkers May 16, the same day they cited another group of visitors to Yellowstone for picking up a bison calf and placing it in their vehicle because they thought the calf needed help.

The National Park Service later had to euthanize the calf after bison refused efforts by park rangers to return the calf to the herd.

It was a sad end to the bison calf and a reminder to human beings that national parks such as Yellowstone and Glacier are not amusement parks such as Disneyland. These are rough-hewn scenic spots full of wild animals and potential dangers. Fortunately, deaths in national parks are rare, but here are several sensible rules to follow: • Keep on trails and designated locations.

• Keep your distance from wild animals: 100 yards from wolves and bears, and 25 yards from bi-

son, moose and other dangerous critters.

• Avoid animals with cubs, calves and other young; mess with them, and you can be hurt by the parents or cause the young to be rejected.

• Photographs of wild animals are great, but you’re supposed to keep a safe distance away. Solution: Buy a good SLR camera with a long lens, 200 mm or longer, to get good animal shots. Don’t try to get a good shot with a camera phone by getting too close, or attempting a “selfie” with an animal. Don’t do it.

• Take bear spray on hikes anywhere bears might be, and make noise while hiking to alert animals you are there.

• Don’t take food into areas where you might encounter wild animals.

Montana is beautiful, but read those brochures when entering national parks. Let’s have enjoyable, not tragic, experiences in Big Sky Country this summer.

Reject Walkup at polls

To the Editor: Mike Walkup’s candidacy for County Board chairman reminds me of John Kerry’s presidential aspirations. The similarities are strong. Both men are longtime Democrats and career politicians. Walkup ran for state senator twice as a Democrat and served as the McHenry County Democratic Party’s legal counsel for years. To date, he utilizes the website of the county Democratic Party to raise campaign funds, and while on the Crystal Lake Park Board he voted to raise property taxes.

Like John Kerry, Walkup now claims he is for terminating pension eligibility for part-time County Board members, after recently being against the same idea. Walkup, a lawyer, claims he did not understand receiving pension benefits was not a job requirement. He did this while other board members simultaneously rejected pension benefits. When confronted by the IMRF executive director at the board’s March 17 meeting, Walkup suggested he could use the Fifth

VIEWS Austin Berg If only it were so simple.

Instead, Madigan hoards bills in the Rules Committee. Nothing moves until Madigan gets what he wants.

Any bill challenging Madigan’s power, no matter how popular, is as good as dead.

In the current General Assembly, reforms on term limits, redistricting and constitutionally protected pension benefits all have been killed in the Rules Committee. Two amendments limiting the number of years a lawmaker can serve as speaker met their end there, too.

Broad property-tax reform is another popular victim. That’s unsurprising, given Madigan makes a fortune helping Chicago business owners lower their property-tax bills.

It’s almost comical, until you realize the perversion of democracy at hand.

Illinois is an outlier when it comes to rank-and-file lawmakers’ ability to get a bill out of committee. According to a 2004 study from the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School, Illinois is home to two of only six state legisla-

tive chambers in the country where motions to discharge a bill from committee are subject to approval from leadership.

Illinoisans may elect who goes to the House of Representatives, but they don’t choose their representation – at least not in any meaningful sense. The power belongs to Madigan. And he represents himself.

If Madigan chooses to release a bill from the Rules Committee, it ends up in one of more than 50 committees, each chaired by a lawmaker Madigan picks for the job. Those positions come with stipends worth thousands of dollars each.

Oftentimes, those positions don’t even require much work. More than half of Illinois’ House committees have acted on fewer than five bills in 2016. Ten committees haven’t held a single meeting.

Some states, such as Nebraska and South Carolina, have their committee chairmen elected by their peers.

Others have far fewer committees that meet more frequently.

Not Illinois.

Assigning committee chairs comes with a great deal of leverage. And there’s more where that came from.

If a lawmaker is lucky enough to see her bill move out of Rules Committee, monitoring its progress can come with endless frustration.

Madigan can call votes on a wide range of bills at a moment’s notice.

Add in his use of “shell bills” (bills that are ripe for last-second amendments), and it becomes extremely difficult for reform-minded lawmakers to effectively fight for their causes.

It is with these tools that Madigan pulled off the 2011 income-tax hike, which took $31 billion from Illinois taxpayers with no reforms to show for it.

Every once in a while, a mouse will get out of Madigan’s maze. But that lawmaker risks the speaker’s revenge. And at election time, Madigan wields millions of dollars as chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois.

It takes a rare ego for someone to believe himself capable of running a state on his own. But such is Madigan’s, and he won’t change course of his own accord. The fact the state of the state hasn’t forced the speaker to change is clear evidence of this.

Rank-and-file lawmakers must summon the courage to reform the system. It is inefficient and undemocratic.

No one man should have all that power.

No way to run government

To the Editor: The Illinois Senate and the House did the right thing by unanimously passing SB 2038, a bill that will provide emergency cash to human service providers who desperately need it. The governor should sign it quickly.

The larger issue is that racing from fire to fire is no way to run a government.

In the past few weeks, a bipartisan group of legislators came together to find a sustainable and comprehensive solution. The specifics of this balanced budget framework have not been

revealed, but we do know it’s the work of smart leaders from both sides of the aisle acting in good faith. It is a consensus framework and the first real outline of a budget in a long time.

Illinois contracts with human service providers to build community well-being and address identified needs, such as ensuring high quality education for children, preventing substance abuse in youth, improving job force and stable housing opportunities or delivering a hot meal to an older adult. Providers in our community are paying for staff, rent, supplies and insurance by bor-

rowing money against the dollars owed

by Illinois and depleting reserves to exhaustion.

We must see SB 2038 for what it is: an emergency measure that pays only 45 cents on the dollar as reimbursement for signed contracts. Now is the time for our leaders to shed light on the budget framework this group of brave legislators built consensus around and engage in that long overdue debate about state priorities.

On a single day in 2011, Illinois lawmakers introduced and passed the largest tax hike in modern state history in a matter of hours.

On May 25, House Democrats introduced and passed a budget out of balance by $7 billion in one evening.

Something is wrong with Illinois democracy. Beyond the budget battle, the Land of Lincoln has failed to create enough decent jobs, failed to provide quality care to the state’s most vulnerable residents, and has shackled its children to debt they can never pay.

Contrary to what many people may think, this is not a bug within Illinois’ legislative process. Rather, it is a feature of House Speaker Mike Madigan’s iron grip over it.

In his role as House speaker, a position he has held for 31 of the past 33 years, Madigan has used many administrative rules to eliminate meaningful debate and maximize his power. His ousting of effective, open democracy has harmed Illinoisans of all political stripes.

The House Rules Committee is Madigan’s golden goose.

When a state representative introduces a bill, it goes to the House Rules Committee. The Rules Committee then is supposed to assign the bill to a relevant committee for further discussion.

Customers stand near an interactive computer display at the Hershey’s Chocolate World store Jan. 27 in New York. With sugar widely branded a health boogeyman and Americans cutting back on sweets in favor of Greek yogurt and protein bars, Hershey is betting on the growing appetite for jerky.

Hershey beef jerky?

Protein’s hot, chocolate’s not, so candy maker adjusts

By CRAIG GIAMMONA Bloomberg

Hershey, Pennsylvania, smells like chocolate. The streetlamps are shaped like Hershey Kisses, and its roads bear names like Cocoa Avenue.

So it’s a bit strange that Hershey Co., the iconic 122-year-old candy giant whose annual revenue swelled to more than $7 billion selling chocolate with peanut butter, chocolate with almonds, and just plain chocolate, would be staking so much of its future on a snack that’s not chocolate.

Hershey beef jerky.

With sugar widely branded a health boogeyman and Americans cutting back on sweets in favor of Greek yogurt and protein bars, Hershey saw sales fall in 2015 for first time in more than a decade. To help turn the tide, the company is betting on the growing appetite for dried meat.

“If it says protein on it, consumers will buy it,” said Carl Jorgensen, a director of wellness strategy at Daymon Worldwide, a retail-marketing firm in

Stamford, Connecticut. “This is something Hershey has to do.”

Americans, especially millennials, are snacking more than ever, noshing throughout the day rather than sitting down for three square meals. Hershey wants to ride that trend. The company is rolling out snack bars made with acai berries, trail mixes that feature small pieces of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and jalapeno almonds and pumpkin seeds coated in protein. The goal is to make $2 billion in snack revenue to provide growth even as U.S. chocolate consumption declines, with a quarter of that coming from jerky and other meat products.

Hershey signaled its shift away from chocolate in early 2015, when it acquired Krave Pure Foods, a maker of premium beef jerky with about $35 million in sales. Krave, based in California’s wine country, put Hershey in the fast-growing meat-snack category and gave the company access to Whole Foods customers. Hershey has said Krave could be a $500 million brand.

Sales of meat snacks have ballooned in recent years as jerky has shed its image as a salty, overprocessed gas-station staple and been reimagined as a convenient nibble that’s low in carbohydrates and high in protein. Hershey has more than doubled Krave sales and plans to launch a line of meat bars later this year.

“With consumers having less traditional meals and snacking more, they’re looking for sources of protein,” said Michele Buck, Hershey’s president for North America. “These things ebb and flow, but protein is here to stay.”

Hershey’s snacking push comes as chocolate consumption in the U.S. has flattened. Growth has come from higher prices, not people eating more chocolate, according to data from IRI, a Chicago-based market-research firm.

With sugar in decline, consumers have moved to fancier dark chocolate products, which are perceived as healthier than mainstream items like Kisses or Reese’s Pieces, according to

Jared Koerten, a Chicago-based analyst at Euromonitor International.

Hershey has acquired brands such as Brookside to boost its premium chocolate offerings and expand into snack bars, but it’s a crowded market, Koerten said.

“Hershey faces an uphill battle to edge in,” he said.

It’s not clear whether snacking can save Hershey. For one thing, snacks accounted for about 2 percent of Hershey’s U.S. business last year. Hershey generates almost all its sales from selling chocolate in the U.S., and an ill-fated expansion into China contributed to a $98 million loss in the company’s international unit last year, with analysts predicting another loss in 2016.

Hershey’s performance – its shares fell 14 percent last year – has led to speculation the company could be a takeover target amid consolidation among the big U.S. food producers.

But about 80 percent of the voting rights in Hershey stock are controlled by the Hershey Trust Co., lowering the probability of a deal.

VIEWS John Georgy economic /interest rate uncertainty while trying to make sure your investments outlive you.

The financial realities of our world are constantly changing. Nowadays, more and more people need to rely on their own investments for income during their retirement. This is why it is very important to have a time-segmented, inflation-adjusted distribution strategy.

Create a retirement income plan designed to span your lifetime. Have a system that divides up your investments into multiple time-segmented

portions with different growth and security objectives. The goal of the first segment should offer an immediate, regular income stream, while the other segments are designed to grow over time.

The more conservative segments are larger with shorter time horizons. The more aggressive investment segments are smaller at first with longer time horizons so they have the potential to grow. As time goes on, each segment is drained to fill the reservoir that is used to provide your regular monthly income stream.

This strategy typically plans for 25 years, at which point the last portion can be divided up again to provide for a longer retirement or used for legacy planning. Knowing you have

enough money to retire, and then planning to make sure the segments of money last as long as you need, is the focus of this strategy.

So, when planning for your retirement, please consider establishing a time-segmented, inflation-adjusted distribution strategy that fits your needs and have it monitored at least annually to minimize retirement uncertainties.

A well-thought-out planning process is designed to provide a well-funded, long-lived retirement.

Perhaps today more than ever before, America’s retirees face an important question: “Do I have enough money to provide income for the rest of my life?”

Determining an answer to this question can be an overwhelming process. For most, living off accumulated income requires a different mindset. As you move from asset accumulation (saving money for retirement) to income distribution (spending money in retirement), you must also understand and decide on Medicare benefits, Social Security benefits and the tax consequences of Required Minimum Distributions.

Not to mention, you have to manage market volatility in your investments, consider the implications of many living longer lives, and

Couple seeking health insurance options

Dear Dave: My wife and I are both in our early 20s, we’re debt-free, and we’re just a couple of months away from having a fully loaded emergency fund of six months of expenses. We both also have 401(k) plans at work, and we’re looking forward to starting additional investments later this year.

Right now, we’re trying to decide on which life insurance policies to buy.

I know you always recommend term insurance, but how long should the coverage last? Would you suggest 15-, 20- or 30-year policies? – Anonymous Dear Anonymous: Wow, it sounds like you two are starting your lives together on the right foot. Congratulations on being super smart with your money!

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey I recommend 15- or 20-year level term policies, unless you have children. I’m assuming kids are not in the picture, since you didn’t mention any. Then, if you decide to grow your family at some point down the road, I’d advise converting those to 30-year term policies. The idea behind this is you want the insurance to be there to protect everyone in the family until the kids are out on their own and established.

In the meantime, and in the years after, your continued saving and wealth-building will lead you to a place where you and your wife are self-insured.

Way to go, guys. I’m proud of you!

Dear Dave: Based on your annual income, how do you determine how much house you can afford? – Ryan Dear Ryan: I always tell folks never get a home loan where the monthly payment is more than a fourth of your take home pay. I’m talking about basing this on a 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage. Twenty-five percent of your monthly take home pay is the absolute most you should have going out the door toward a mortgage payment.

I realize that’s a pretty conserva-

tive number in most people’s minds.

You can actually, technically qualify for almost twice that figure. But I think having that much of your paycheck going toward house payments is pretty dumb. Your shortest, quickest path to wealth is being debt-free. And when most of your money isn’t flying out the door to make payments on stuff, it’s easy to build wealth and increase your level of generosity!

Man’s long fingernails are touchy subject for girlfriend Dear Abby: I am a 65-year-old widow and recently started dating a 66-year-old man. I really like him and enjoy his company. However, one thing about him drives me up a wall. He has long fingernails on both hands. He is neat and tidy and otherwise well-groomed. I am quite sure he is not a coke user (which some have suggested could be the reason).

He has told me his hobby is guitar playing, but for that I’d think he would only need a few long nails. I feel I don’t know him well enough to ask why he keeps them so long or tell him how much this creeps me out. How would you suggest I bring this up to him? – Dianne in Wisconsin Dear Dianne: The gentleman’s

hobby may be guitar playing, but for him to form the chords he strums, his nails on one hand would have

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to be short. I can’t think of a nice way to tell someone his nails “creep you out.” However, I don’t think it would be out of line to ask why he wears his nails as long as he does, and let him explain it to you.

Dear Abby: Ever since my bratty stepsister came into the picture, I feel like I get less attention than her. Just because her parents are not together doesn’t mean she’s so much more special than me that it’s OK for her to be mean to me without getting in trouble.

When I yell at her and tell her to stop, she hisses at me like a cat and throws a fit and says she wants to go home. I’m not a psychologist, but I

don’t think this is normal. What do you think I should do? – Stepsister

in Michigan Dear Stepsister: For a moment,

put yourself in her shoes. Her parents’ marriage broke apart, and one of them left and has made a new life with a new family. It’s possible she’s afraid you have “replaced her” in that parent’s affections. That’s a pretty painful thought, and she may blame you even though it is not your fault.

Talk privately to your parents about this. Ask them if they can reassure her so she won’t take her hurt feelings out on you. And one more thing: Stop yelling. Yelling only escalates the situation; it doesn’t solve anything.

Dear Abby: Millions of dollars (and tons of food) are wasted when restaurants serve poor quality food or it hasn’t been properly prepared.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

What is the protocol if you are unhappy with your order? Should you leave it sitting and hope they will ask for a comment? Say nothing and take it home as expensive dog food?

Speak up and hope for improvement for the next person? Pay, but don’t return again? Now you’ve wasted your money, they’ve thrown away the uneaten food and you’re still hungry. Is there a solution for this problem? – Joyce in the South Dear Joyce: If you are unhappy with how the food you ordered tastes, call the server over, explain what you think is wrong with it and send it back. A smart restaurant manager will replace it. If it’s not the policy at that restaurant, do not return.

Stayin’ alive OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Klay Thompson made a playoff-record 11 3-pointers and scored 41 points, and the defending champion Golden State Warriors forced a seventh game in the Western Conference finals with a 108-101 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night.

NAPERVILLE – As the PA announcer counted off the final seconds of Saturday’s Class 1A girls soccer state championship match, Marian Central defender Makala Villont turned to goalkeeper Kersten Green.

The two, friends since the age of 3 and senior captains on a young Hurricanes team, hugged as the horn sounded and their high school careers ended with a loss.

“We’ve been through it all together and it was emotional, but it’s a good way to end it, we got second in state. I love her,” Green said.

Marian Central came from behind to force overtime, but eventually lost, 2-1, to Wheaton Academy at North Central College.

“I feel bad for some of the kids that they didn’t get the result they wanted, but I walk out of here – that’s what you want in a final game,” Marian Central coach Karl Smith said. “It was hard fought, there were good moments from both teams.

“You’re down, you talk about character at halftime, they come back, they get their goal, they put it into overtime, and even when we went down in overtime they still fought. We were talking, ‘We’ve got 10 minutes left, we’re going to put this in penalty kicks and we’re going to win it in penalties.’ It was always about how we were going to win the game. It’s a tribute to those kids.”

Throughout the postseason, as they marched to the program’s second state final, the Hurricanes had, for the most part, dominated their opposition, scoring early to grab control of games before usually adding a few more. Smith knew Saturday wasn’t going to be like that.

It took all of 2:01 on Saturday for the Warriors (21-3-3) to flip that script.

Wheaton Academy’s Emmerson Fuller clipped a ball over the Hurricanes’ defense which Gabi LaMantia controlled and finished to give the Warriors a quick lead.

It was the first time the Hurricanes (14-6-2) trailed all postseason. Smith preaches having a plan for every scenario and he told the Hurricanes they couldn’t panic if they went down a goal.

“I’m not going to lie, it was a little hard, because normally this whole playoffs season we’ve been in the lead or we’ve always had that first goal,” Villont said. “So when we got that first shot it did shock us in the beginning but then I think there was some tension on the field going back and forth but it kind of cooled down later on and

Marian Central’s Alyssa Sutherland on the large number of fans who made the trip: “All the fans, they get us pumped up for the game, gets us more excited and we have momentum to go score. The louder they got, the better we got.”

we realized we have to stay as a team and our energy kind of rose from there so that was good.”

The Hurricanes finally broke through with 26 minutes left in the second half. Karlie Blaz drove a corner in from the right and Alyssa Sutherland jumped to meet it with her head, sending it into the top-left corner.

“In practice, we rehearsed it like 50 times and it just kind of came to me and my eyes were closed. I didn’t even see the ball, honestly, I just saw it in the back of the net and I was like, ‘Wow,’ ” Sutherland said.

Green, who hadn’t been called on much during the postseason run, made 12 saves Saturday, including three crucial stops over the final 25 minutes to

keep the score tied.

“I knew it was my last game no matter what, so I just gave it my all and the past couple games I haven’t been getting a lot of action but I knew this game was going to be a lot different,” Green said. “I couldn’t have done it without my defense though, not only my defense but the entire team.”

Seven minutes into the first overtime period, Wheaton Academy found the winner. Sophie Lindquist got down the right side, cut back to turn her defender around and finished to the far post.

The Hurricanes couldn’t muster another equalizer and the Warriors celebrated their third state title as the Hurricanes accepted second-place medals for the second time in six years.

“A lot of them are upset, but, again, we’re talking about, ‘Hey we’ve got a chance to get back here,’ ” Smith said.

“Now they’ve got a taste of it. ... There’s no guarantees, but if we do get back to this point next year, which I think we’re capable of, they know the drill, they’ve got this experience, they know how to play in big games like this. You can’t really get that experience unless you experience it.”

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – Huntley senior Tim McCloyn realized the instant he released the discus from his right hand that something special had occurred.

He watched the trajectory and waited for the good news.

“My first throw was a bust, it came out like a duck, and I scratched it before it landed,” McCloyn said.

“I knew the second one was going to be a good throw, we just had to see what the distance was.”

McCloyn did not reach his goal of 180 feet, but it was close enough at 179-10, which boosted him from eighth to third place in Class 3A at the IHSA Boys Track and Field State Meet on Saturday at Eastern Illinois University’s O’Brien Field.

“I was pretty excited because I knew what position it put me in

and to hit it that late in the competition,” McCloyn said.

McCloyn was not going to catch Edwardsville’s A.J. Epenesa, who threw a state-meet record 205-11 in the preliminary flight, but he nearly caught Yorkville’s Sam Weisz (180-8) and passed everyone else.

That was part of a productive day for Huntley, which also had its 4x100- and 4x200-meter relay teams both take seventh. No Fox Valley Conference team had ever medaled in two sprint relays at the state meet.

“That’s actually very cool and it shows how much work our coach (Jim Rolando) puts in,” Red Raiders’ senior Jeremie Allen said.

“He can turn anyone into a good Clark Brooks (PhotoNews) for Shaw Media sprinter by making sure we had adequate rest and practicing hard Crystal Lake Central’s Brandon Dahl tries to clear the bar in the Class 3A pole vault during the IHSA every week.”

Missed chances haunt McHenry Grant ousts 3 FVC teams in a row

Grant scored three early runs and was able to pad the lead late, as the Bulldogs defeated McHenry, 7-3, to capture the Class 4A Cary-Grove Regional.

Huntley’s 4x100 had the highest sprint relay finish in FVC history at last year’s state meet, taking third.

Ben Marsh, Eric Mooney, Dubem Anikamadu and Allen came back with seventh, then Marsh, Trevor Dell’Aquilla, Anikamadu and Allen also were seventh in the 4x200.

“It would have been just what I wanted coming into the season (to medal twice),” Allen said. “The whole season was about coming to state and proving what Huntley could do.”

Marsh felt some redemption after the 4x200 did not qualify for state.

Singh tied with six other jumpers at 6-5, but took third with fewer misses after making that height on his first attempt.

Thursday in a Huntley Sectional semifinal and the bases loaded, Pendley kept the at-bat going after several foul balls and finally connected for a two-run single. Lasiewicz pitched into the seventh inning and allowed five runs on five hits.

“It all comes down to making plays, and [Grant] was able to do that today,” Lasiewicz said. “I thought I pitched OK, but struggled to find my curve ball until the sixth inning. I left too many pitches up in the third inning, and that resulted in a big inning.”

The last real Warriors threat came in the sixth inning, when McHenry brought the tying run to the plate with two outs, but pinch hitter Jacob Ahrens hit a sharp line drive to second base to end the threat. Grant added three runs in the seventh that put the game out of reach. McHenry scored its three runs in the seventh on a three-run home run by Bobby Miller.

“Once [Grant] got the lead, we tried to get it going, but couldn’t,” McHenry’s Matt Spooner said. “We had so many chances all game, but just couldn’t get it going.”

Peschke surprised himself when he, also moving up on a bigger pole, sailed over 14-9 and then 15-0.

“Honestly, it was unbelievable,” Peschke said. “I was speechless at that point. I didn’t expect it so much.

I thought making the finals might be my max, that I might finish 15th or whatever. I didn’t expect to place at all really. It’s warm and we had a decent tailwind and I just had a lot of energy.”

Members of the Huntley girls soccer team celebrate their victory in the Class 3A Streamwood Sectional final against Crystal Lake South on Saturday in Streamwood. Huntley won, 2-1, to take home their third straight sectional title.

After Jakubowski’s goal, Crystal Lake South (16-6-1) was able to score off a long Jenna Ross direct free kick that beat Huntley goalkeeper Paige Renkosik.

But that kick was all that would get past Renkosik and Huntley’s defense

as she finished exhausted, and with nine saves, saying, “I don’t usually have to run like that,” and heading to get more water after Huntley’s postmatch celebration.

“Especially when they scored that goal, I knew I had to keep focused and not get it in my head,” Renkosik said.

Sevcik finished with four saves for Crystal Lake South, which took five corners to Huntley’s four. The Red Raiders, however, were able to get a goal off the set piece.

The Gators had plenty of second-half chances, but weren’t able to put away a second goal.

Huntley has been knocked out of the playoffs seven out of the past 10 seasons by Tuesday’s supersectional opponent, Barrington, but didn’t see the Fillies in the regular season.

“If the game had been going for another 10 or 15 minutes, we could’ve,” Crystal Lake South coach Jay Mueller said, thinking of the Gators’ many late chances to tie the score. “We just ran out of time.”

The win helped Huntley make amends for dropping a 3-1 decision to the Gators on April 29 that led Crystal Lake South to the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title.

“It feels wonderful to come back and beat South after they beat us on our own turf and won conference,” Jakubowski said. “It’s kind of that redemption factor, and I thought that we came out and worked really hard today and we got a victory.”

As soon as the Golden Eagles raised the championship plaque, they rushed onto the field.

STREAMWOOD – In a match in which the wind was such a factor in the attack, Huntley’s early second-half run was an anomaly.

Red Raiders senior Taryn Jakubowski gave up the ball, then teammate Brenna Keegan got it back to her in the perfect spot to send a left-footed shot toward the far post and past Crystal Lake South goalkeeper Annika Sevcik to give Huntley a two-goal lead less than two minutes into the second half.

That margin proved to be enough as Crystal Lake South had plenty of chances but couldn’t find the equalizer in a 2-1 Huntley win in the final of the Class 3A Streamwood Sectional, the Red Raiders’ third straight sectional title.

“The combination work on top of the box to get that free to Taryn, that was massive,” Huntley coach Kris Grabner said. “I just had a hard time believing they weren’t going to score something with that wind.”

Huntley (21-3-2) moves on to face Barrington in the Class 3A Barrington Supersectional at 6 p.m. Tuesday with a trip to the state semifinals on the line.

“There’s 12 seniors, and we’re not ready for this to be over,” Huntley’s Alyssa Kaufman said.

The Red Raiders opened the scoring with 10 minutes left in the first half when a corner kick from Kaufman found the head of Tayah Owens and was sent toward the far post, when it was knocked in off a Crystal Lake South

8 SOFTBALL: CLASS 4A McHENRY REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

CLC tops PR for 1st title in 14 years

By ALEX KANTECKI

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE

akantecki@shawmedia.com McHENRY – After a quick step to her left and a lunge, Crystal Lake Central shortstop Kelly Iwamoto secured a hot shot off the bat of Prairie Ridge third baseman Kaleigh O’Brien that looked destined for the outfield with two outs and the bases loaded.

Iwamoto’s momentum carried her into the ground, and the senior was unsure whether she would have enough time to get up and record the final out of the third inning with the Wolves already putting up a run and trailing by three.

“I just panicked, and all of a sudden I saw [Hailey Baker] running, so I just ran it over to second,” said Iwamoto, whose quick thinking saved at least one run.

“It was iffy, I had to dive obviously.”

Iwamoto regained control, dove and tagged second for the force out, ending Prairie Ridge’s threat and creating a mini celebration near the pitcher’s circle as she ran off the field.

The Tigers played near perfect defense, and, with the cushion of a fourrun lead after two, senior pitcher Savanah Frank held down one of the area’s top offenses to lead Central to a 4-2 win in a Class 4A McHenry Regional final.

Prairie Ridge (26-5), which averaged more than nine runs a game entering Saturday, put two runners on base in the seventh with two outs, but Frank struck out Baker to give the Tigers (16-

Peyton DeChant was 4 for 4 at the plate, driving in the Whip-Purs’ first two runs on a double and single before scoring after a fifth-inning single and then doubling off the wall in left field to start the seventh inning.

“Going off last game, I was walked

too many times and my team lifted me up in the first regional game,” DeChant said. “So I think it was my opportunity to lift everybody up this time.”

Hampshire first baseman Melissa Esparza added an RBI double in the third while leadoff hitter Jasmine Lopez was 2 for 4 with a stolen base and a run scored.

“Yesterday at practice, we focused more on hitting, and I felt that’s what our team needed more,” Esparza said.

“We have really good defense, and at the plate, we’ve been off and on. So, to be focused more on hitting, I feel like it showed a lot more today.”

Hampshire pitcher Joslyn Nelson didn’t allow a hit in the first three innings and finished with four hits allowed, three strikeouts and one earned run in a complete-game effort.

Prairie Ridge also had a well-rested pitching staff, which allowed Pecoraro to use Tieman and fellow right-handers Ethan Routzahn and closer Luke Annen.

Although Routzahn allowed the Broncos to tie the score on a dropped third strike that was thrown away, Tieman’s single gave him his eighth win of the season (8-1), as Annen shut the door with a 1-2-3 seventh.

“Baseball is a crazy game sometimes, and I think we just had the mindset to keep going no matter what,” Annen said. “We knew if we kept doing the things we did all game, we’d eventually get back ahead. No matter who is on the mound for this team, we have the confidence that they can get batters out and give us a chance to win. All season we’ve had that trust, and I think it gives the pitchers confidence, as well.”

BARRINGTON – Jon Tieman didn’t have his best stuff on the mound Saturday.

However, the senior found a way to make his impact in the Class 4A Barrington Regional championship as he stepped into the batter’s box with the go-ahead run on second base and two outs in the sixth inning.

With a two-strike count, Tieman found a way to punch a fastball to right field that scored what proved to be the game-winning run as the Wolves defeated host Barrington, 7-6, to win the program’s fourth regional title in five years.

“This team never gives up, no matter what,” Tieman said. “The guys in front of me did what they had to do and it was my job to get [senior Hunter Martin] in.

When you come up in a situation like that, you want to help your team out. I got a pitch over the white with two strikes and just tried to put a good swing on it.”

Tieman’s single, one of four times he reached base Saturday, rescued Prairie Ridge (31-6) after Barrington clawed back to tie the score at 6 in its

The Red Raiders (26-8) move on to face Barrington at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in a 4A Belvidere North Sectional semifinal.

The top three batters of the Red Raiders’ order – Jessica Shields (four steals), Giese (three steals) and Rylie Porretto – combined for four of the team’s six hits. All three also reached base at least twice. Taylor Pacana and Autmun Kasal also recorded a hit apiece for the Red Raiders.

Porretto, a junior, finished with a game-high three RBIs on a sacrifice fly in the first and a two-run double in the fifth.

“I knew I had runners on, and all I wanted to do was get them in, get them

over, whatever I needed to do,” Porretto said.

After allowing only two hits and one run on an error in her first five innings in the circle, Giese faced a little pressure in the sixth.

With only one out after loading the bases on two walks and a single, she escaped the jam with a strikeout and then induced a ground ball back to the circle. In a complete game, she only struck out two, but said she got the outs when she needed them the most.

“I knew I had my defense, but I needed to hit my spots, come back, relax,” Giese said. “I started getting a little flustered, but came back and got it done.”

For Shields – one of four Red Raiders seniors to celebrate graduation just hours before – adding another regional title to her high school career is special.

“It’s been an awesome day, a very accomplished day,” Shields said. “It means a lot being a senior, especially my freshman and sophomore years, coming in, not winning a regional title.

Now winning back-to-back (regional titles) means a lot.”

BASEBALL: CLASS 3A LAKES REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Lakes scores 7 runs against R-B’s top 2 pitchers

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com LAKE VILLA – With two NCAA Division-I-bound pitchers available, Richmond-Burton baseball coach Mike Giese liked his chances against Lakes, even if the hosts of Saturday’s Class 3A Lakes Regional championship had not dropped a game in eight tries.

But what Giese didn’t expect to happen did, as Lakes knocked senior starting pitcher Joe Dittmar (Wichita State) from the game in the third inning, and tacked on two more runs against sophomore Jake Rosing (Louisville) in the fourth.

The Eagles wore out left-center field against Dittmar, striking two doubles and a triple in the top of the third as part of a five-run inning. The Rockets responded with two runs in the bottom half, but Lakes scored twice in the fourth off Rosing en route to a 7-3 win.

“We came in here and we labored for seven innings, trying to get off the field,” Giese said. “A lot of that was because of how well they approached their at-bats. They made it very, very tough on us.”

“It happens, but today was just kind of rough because it happened so frequently,” said Dittmar, who gave up five runs on five hits in 21/3 innings, striking out four and walking two.

“I felt good. I felt ready. I was mentally prepared, but I just left it over the plate a little bit. They were able to put it in play and capitalized.”

Dittmar worked around two walks in the first two innings, striking out three, but didn’t allow any hits until the third. Stephen Mogged led off with a triple, and Matt Swiatek doubled to left center after a groundout to score the first run.

Ben Milewski struck out but reached on a wild pitch that also scored Swiatek, Jack Christensen singled and Matt Milewski cranked a tworun double between center fielder Jake Kaufman and left fielder Henry Stark to make it 4-0. Ryan Selig then provid-

ed an RBI hit to end Dittmar’s day.

“They took the game to home plate today, in the batter’s box,” said Giese, whose Rockets beat Lakes, 7-3, on April 16. “It’s not how I would have predicted it.”

Jake Moeller, who struck out two in the seventh, provided R-B with a spark in the bottom of the third, hitting a two-run home run that carried over the left-field fence and cut Lakes’ lead to 5-2.

“I wasn’t going for the home run, but the wind carried it,” said Moeller.

“It just blew out, and I was really happy. I just saw the guy run out of fence.”

The next inning, Lakes got the two runs back. The second was unearned after two infield errors on the same play. The Eagles had seven hits to R-B’s six, but Lakes had four that went for extra bases.

Rosing, who struck out the first three batters he faced in relief of Dittmar, finished with five strikeouts and one walk in 32/3 innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits. He also went 2 for 3 with an RBI, while Dittmar, Stark and Bryan Rupnik each had a hit in the loss.

HUNTLEY – During the top of the fifth inning Saturday, the Huntley softball team committed its second and third errors of the game, leading to Harlem’s first run on the scoreboard.

Normally, you’d think it would be a cause for alarm, but Red Raiders coach Mark Petryniec, even after rain Friday forced the Class 4A Huntley Regional title game to be postponed, knew his team would be up to the challenge of battling back.

“Throughout this season, you set a plan in action, and overcome adversity was one of our plans this year,” Red Raiders coach Mark Petryniec said. “Whatever the situation, whether we’re on the road, whether it’s the

Title caps Huntley’s giant turnaround Red Raiders follow up 9-win season with regional crown

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com ROCKFORD – Inside the Guilford field house, Huntley closer Jeffrey Heinrich lobbed the baseball past a make-believe batter and into catcher Joe Rizzo’s bare hands for strike three.

Wearing sneakers and gym shorts, the Red Raiders sprinted in from their positions.

They tackled Heinrich and piled on top of him in celebration of their Class 4A Guilford Regional championship.

Simulating the final out Saturday wasn’t the most traditional ending to a championship game. But after bouts of lightning and fierce rain ended the game early, the Red Raiders needed some way to celebrate what officially was a 4-3 victory over Hononegah in five innings.

The Red Raiders (23-14) will play host to Prairie Ridge at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Huntley Sectional semifinal, a slightly more conventional venue.

“Our goal from Day 1 was to play on our field during sectionals,” Huntley coach Andy Jakubowski said. “We were able to achieve that today.”

The victory is part of what has been a remarkable turnaround for Huntley’s baseball team. After failing to reach double-digit wins last year, the Red Raiders bounced back in a big way to win their fifth regional in school history, the fourth under Jakubowski.

“This means a lot, especially after we came off last season at 9-27,” said Heinrich, who doubled twice and drove in what turned out to be the go-ahead run. “We did it for the seniors, really.

They didn’t have great experiences last year. We weren’t given a lot of slack coming into the season.”

Huntley jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, but on a day when the wind was blowing out and the teams combined for 16 hits in five innings, the Indians cut the lead to one run and eventually tied the game, 3-3, in the third.

Red Raiders reliever Noah Konie entered and pitched 22/3 shutout innings to earn the victory.

I knew I could throw both for strikes. I just attacked hitters knowing I’m a ground ball pitcher. If I could get them to put the ball in play, I knew we could get outs.”

In the fourth, Huntley scored what turned out to be the go-ahead run.

Trevor Randallo singled and was sacrificed to second by Charlie Nugent.

Randallo advanced to third on Alec Coss’ second single of the day before Heinrich plated him with a sacrifice fly.

Huntley scored four runs in the sixth and led, 8-4, in bottom of the sixth when lightning was spotted. Angry clouds dumped rain on the field and when it was clear the field would be unplayable, it set the stage for the unique celebration.

“It’s unfortunate that the rain came. We wanted to play a full seven,” Jakubowski said. “But according to the rules, it had to revert back to the fifth. Our guys did a good job of getting ahead early and maintaining that lead.

It put us in a good position with bad weather.”

NORTHWEST HERALD

• CLASS 2A

Continued from page 3 Luke would have been the third Class 2A 3,200 champion in his family behind sisters Kayla and Maura. Instead, he finished as a state runner-up and with the family’s 14th state track and field medal.

Johnsburg’s Matt Stelmasek was runner-up in the Class 2A 1,600. The other local 2A medalists were Woodstock’s Will Maidment (eighth in high jump) and Woodstock North’s Jake Varys (ninth in discus).

DeYoung almost had given up hope of catching Beattie in the final lap until the final turn.

“I felt so dead in the last 200 meters,” DeYoung said. “The heat hit me, the legs started to hurt, but I looked at him and could see his stride, there was one step where he looked like he started to slow down. I just gave it everything I had and kicked it in.”

Beattie, who will run at Utah State, took the disappointment in stride.

“I’m not too upset with my finish,” he said. “It’s for sure pretty cool to be the last Beattie to step on this track as a high school student.”

Stelmasek also lost to an Illiana Christian runner, Nick Wondaal, in the 1,600, but in a vastly different type of race.

Wondaal won in 4:18.24, while Stelmasek ran a 4:20.14 to take the highest individual medal in school history.

Woodstock, Antioch jumped on Woodstock North for three runs in the bottom of the first inning, and held on for a 3-1 semifinal victory.

Woodstock North (12-21) starting pitcher Cory Busse settled down after the first inning, holding Antioch to three runs on five hits in 51/3 innings to go with three strikeouts and four walks. Dain Glaves recorded the last two outs, allowing one hit.

Woodstock North scored its only run in the top of the second, a fielder’s choice RBI with nobody out off Jesse Cordoba that scored pinch runner Caleb Labude. Busse led off the inning with a double, and Ward followed with a single.

High jump: 8. Maidment (Woodstock) 6-3 As Stelmasek crossed the finish line, he wobbled a bit and broke into a huge grin.

“There’s a rule I go by, ‘Give everything I have because what I kept is lost forever,’ ” Stelmasek said. “I definitely gave everything I had there on the track today. I couldn’t be happier. That was a smile of pain and success. I couldn’t ask for more than second place, it’s just a great day.”

Maidment was thrilled to make the finals, and even happier when he jumped 6 feet, 3 inches to take eighth place.

“I’m really happy because I was seeded 15th coming in,” Maidment said. “I’m just really happy to be here, that’s kind of the approach I took.”

Varys threw in the shot put and discus finals. His best discus throw (153-2) was 6 feet farther than in the preliminary Friday and boosted him to a medal.

for Heiss. He got ahead early with his fastball, which has been clocked in the mid-90s.

Later in the game, he pitched backwards by throwing his breaking ball for strikes and then coming back with the fastball as his out pitch.

At times, Heiss can be effectively wild. But on Saturday, with command of all of his pitches, he kept hitters constantly off-balance.

“What Brenden did today was ridiculous,” Murray said. “He had the command

of his breaking ball. He was ahead all day.”

The Golden Eagles will face a tough road back to state in a sectional that includes Huntley, Prairie Ridge and Grant. However, they’re hoping the experience from last season will help.

“We’ve been rolling, and I think were ready to go,” Heiss said. “We’re ready to go all the way. Everyone’s excited and we’re loose. That’s how you win ballgames.”

That and pitching.

Central scored all four of its runs in second, loading the bases without getting a single ball out of the infield.

Gawart reached on an infield hit with one out, and Cruz and Aly Proper each reached on a fielder’s choice as the Wolves tried to cut down the lead runner but failed both times.

Ward came through with a two-run single, Morgann Paaske sacrificed for the second out, and Amy Walsh lined a single off O’Brien’s glove at third that trickled into short

left field and scored two more, giving Central a 4-0 lead.

“I was just looking to keep my head on the ball and put it in play,” Walsh said. “I knew their outfield was good and their infield was good, so I tried to hit it in a spot where they wouldn’t be.”

Baker, who didn’t allow an earned run against Central in two regular-season starts, allowed just four hits, striking out three and walking none.

Continued from page 5 Kale drew a walk to give Jacobs an early 1-0 lead.

“I was just looking for the fastball,” Addante said. “I was sitting fastball, and that’s what I got every time I got a hit.”

Jacobs added two more in the second inning. Tim Randl doubled to bring home Addante and Stevie Krueger to stretch the lead to 3-0.

16 CUBS 4, PHILLIES 1

Hendricks pitches 5-hitter The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – The roar from the crowd as he walked toward the mound for the ninth inning was one of the highlights for Kyle Hendricks.

The right-hander stayed focused even after the shutout disappeared.

Hendricks pitched a five-hitter for his second career complete game, Dexter Fowler hit a leadoff homer and the Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-1, on Saturday.

Hendricks (3-4) struck out seven and walked none. He was greeted with another round of cheers before the start of the ninth, but fell just short of his second career shutout.

“That was probably the coolest part just standing there for the ninth,” he said. “But again, I had to tell myself that much more just keep it simple, stay within myself and just make pitches.”

Fowler sparked a two-run first against Jerad Eickhoff (2-7) with his sixth home run.

Jason Heyward had two doubles for the Cubs, who have won four in a row. Ben Zobrist had two hits, including an RBI double, to extend his streak to 14 games.

ELECTRIC BIKES

Royals score 7 in 9th to beat White Sox The ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Brett Eibner, playing his second big league game, singled to cap the biggest ninth-inning comeback in Kansas City Royals history, a seven-run rally off David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle that lifted the World Series champions over the White Sox, 8-7, Saturday.

Kansas City’s Salvador Perez was injured in the ninth when third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert slid with a forearm and elbow into the left thigh of the All-Star catcher, who called off Chien-Ming Wang (3-0), settled under Adam Eaton’s foul popup about 30 feet from the plate near the third-base line and snagged the ball just before he was hit.

Held to six hits through eight innings, the Royals doubled their total in the 32-minute bottom of the ninth and overcame a six-run deficit for the first time since beating San Francisco on June 22, 2008.The inning included four walks, two of them intentional, and four runs scored with two outs.

The Sox lost for the 13th time in 17 games.

WILLIAM J. PALMER

Hometown: Barrington Latest Book: “Drop-Out To Teacher: Overcoming Fear and Failure” Publisher: CreateSpace Release Date: Oct. 20, 2015 Available: Amazon, Kindle, Barrington Area Library

What’s your book about?

It is about inspiring young people to overcome hardships and educators to keep faith in their vulnerable students. It combines from first-hand experiences and psychological and educational theory to offer a comprehensive guide to understanding at-risk youth.

Where did the idea come from?

The inspiration to write came from my experiences in teaching at-risk high school students the benefits of making the connection between thoughts, emotions and behavior. It was when students realized the positive impact changing their thinking could have on the quality of their lives that some of my students suggested I write a book.

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

The genre is memoir. I was drawn to it as my life experience created a valuable backdrop, which offered reflections from a troubled childhood to compliment the instructional strategies to overcome hardships.

Who is the intended audience?

Just about everyone can benefit from this work, but especially teachers, counselors,

school nurses, social workers, psychologists, administrators, parents and adolescents.

Why is this story important to you?

It is an authentic examination of the causal factors that lead to self-defeating thoughts, emotions and behaviors that contribute to poor decision-making and underachievement. In writing this book, I believed it could help young people to live more productive and contented lives by practicing the strategies I offer.

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

It took about two years after making the decision to stop procrastinating and actually complete the work.

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

Utilizing my own teaching strategies and experiences as part of the instructive component was energizing. The reflections from my life growing up in a fractured family structure that was riddled with alcohol abuse and domestic violence was difficult.

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

I self-published through CreateSpace as it gave me a great deal of freedom and I was able to control the timing of the book’s publication.

What is your education/background?

After dropping out of high school, it took a couple of years to decide to prepare for and earn my GED. I went on to earn an associate degree from Harper College, a bachelor’s degree from Northeastern Illinois University,

my teacher education credentials through Roosevelt University, a master’s degree from Northeastern Illinois University, and over 50 hours of post-graduate work, mostly in the area of anger/emotional management.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

After repeated suggestions from my students, I finally decided that the effort it would take would be worthwhile.

Who are your favorite authors?

I really don’t have a favorite author, but I do enjoy the work of Dr. Albert Ellis.

Pick one: Ebooks or hard/paperbacks?

Paperbacks Have you written anything else?

Not yet.

What’s next for you?

To continue teaching and speaking to audiences on the importance of sound emotional management and perhaps another book.

Framed by a camera and stage manager Amanda D’Anea on Thursday, Crystal Lake native Rob Elgas, a 1992 Crystal Lake Central graduate, opens the 4 p.m. edition of ABC-7 Eyewitness News.

‘JUST ANOTHER JOURNALIST’ Crystal Lake native Rob Elgas’ first day in the anchor chair for ABC-7 Chicago News marked with jokes, camaraderie and a few nerves

STORY BY JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com PHOTOS BY H. RICK BAMMAN hbamman@shawmedia.com

He slips a hand-held mirror out from under the anchor’s desk.

An adjustment of the tie, a sip of coffee, a test of the mic.

5… 4… 3… 2… 1…

A point of a finger from a producer behind the camera, and Rob Elgas is live at 4 p.m. with ABC-7 Eyewitness News. Alongside him sits co-anchor Linda Yu. The two easily navigate the first portion of the early evening news – a car hit by a CTA train, the death of a malnourished 5-month-old, some baby ducks rescued from a busy road, the latest in the Drew Peterson trial.

And then, commercial break.

“OK, first half-hour under the belt,” Elgas says, mainly to himself.

“So we don’t have to be nice to you anymore?” Yu teases.

With that, Elgas officially is an ABC-7 anchor.

••• It’s not his first time at the anchor desk, but it’s a new start for the 42-year-old Crystal Lake native. Elgas moved to the anchor desk Thursday, taking over for Alan Krashesky, who moved to the seat of legend Ron Magers for the 5, 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts.

His office desk and walls coated with 50 pounds of Hershey’s kisses planted by one of his makeup artists and a “Ron’s Chair” sign left behind on a seat in sports anchor Mark Giangreco’s cubicle – among numerous more formal tributes – were left after Magers retired Wednesday after more than 50 years of reporting the news.

“Ron truly was one of the last classic anchors,” Elgas says as he makes the rounds through the ABC-7 newsroom before his 3:25 p.m. makeup call. (“They use a pound,” he says, “but I don’t look tired.”)

Big transitions are underway at ABC-7, where Elgas has been contributing to the station’s 10 p.m. newscast and working as a fill-in anchor since last year.

Before that, the 1992 Crystal Lake Central graduate who now lives in Naperville with his wife, Dawn, and two kids, 10-yearold John and 13-year-old Eva, anchored the early afternoon news at NBC 5.

••• He takes a stroll past Magers’ dark, empty office, glances in, stops in the sports department where Giangreco invites him to have a seat.

“I’ll never take that chair,” Elgas says with a nod at “Ron’s Chair.”

Nearby, Krashesky greets him with a handshake.

“It’s going to be great,” Krashesky says of the new gig. “I’m so happy for you.”

Throughout the afternoon, others stop Elgas in the halls, offer hugs and shouts of encouragement, some gentle ribbing. “He always has to sit next to me. There are other chairs in the room,” someone jokes in a meeting where producers gather to go over the night’s news.

For Elgas, the reporting won’t stop, even with the new anchoring spot. He’ll still be contributing to the 10 p.m. news, something he can’t imagine giving up.

• ELGAS

He remembers once arriving at the scene of a shooting 13 seconds before going live. “It wasn’t my best live shot,” he says, “but we made it.”

He doesn’t like to sit in the office all day, he says as he points to a view of the city through windows lining the ABC-7 Chicago State Street Studio.

“I think it’s important people see us out there and they know we’re connected to the community,” he says. “It’s critical.”

••• Elgas started behind the camera at the University of Illinois, where he interned as a photographer for WICD TV in Champaign-Urbana. Arriving at college as a nature lover, looking to perhaps become a forest or park ranger, Elgas took a broadcast class and fell in love.

His goal soon was to get in front of the camera, to tell stories with pictures and sound.

But, he says, he had to work at it.

He tells colleagues about his days in speech therapy in elementary school.

He had trouble with his Rs, he says just before recording a sound bite for ABC7’s N-Beat, which spotlight’s Chicago’s Latino community. Elgas helps narrate the monthly story.

His mother’s side of the family is Mexican, he says, but he no longer can roll his Rs. He blames it on the speech therapy, he says with a laugh.

“I’ve had to work on my voice over the years to sound conversationalist,” he says. “I think it takes time and experience. … You have to force yourself to watch yourself.”

••• The multi-floor studio’s a conglomeration of offices, TV screens, producers, reporters, TV screens, busy cubicles, computers, TV screens, cameras and more TV screens – all on.

“Anything change?” he asks a producer of the day’s news lineup as he stops in the assignment room.

“This is kind of the nerve center,” he says. “It’s where it all happens.”

He heads past a line of cubicles where he sat when he first came to ABC-7, and someone calls out, “The property values went down after Rob left.”

“They probably went up,” he responds over his shoulder as he heads to his office, once occupied by Paul Meincke, who retired from the dayto-day grind last year after 30 years at ABC-7. Among his decorations – a framed Meincke picture and an emoji poop throw pillow he’d picked up for his son, John. John really wasn’t interested.

“I’m taking it back,” he told him, and it’s sat on his office shelf ever since.

Nearby hangs a framed painting created by a young cancer patient, known

as the Dainty Warrior, whom Elgas reported on. Six years old at the time, she painted a flying dog and gave it to Elgas.

She’s in remission, he starts to say as the phone rings.

“Hey boss,” he answers.

••• A once- or twice- or three-times-over of the day’s news script and he’s ready to anchor.

“I’ll be nervous today a little,” he says just before the broadcast. “I think I’ve learned to channel that nervous energy, but that takes years. … I think you’re not alive if you don’t get nervous.”

At least that’s what he tells his kids, who aren’t necessarily overly impressed by their father’s celebrity status.

“My kids put me in place if my ego gets too big,” he says.

As much as he values his job and sees it as a privilege, he says, “Outside of work, I’m a pretty normal dude. I’d rather not wear the suit. I’d rather be in cargo pants, a T-shirt and a baseball cap. I don’t consider myself any more special than the next person. … I don’t consider myself a celebrity. I’m just another journalist.”

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: ABC-7 Eyewitness News meteorologist Cheryl Scott and Crystal Lake native Rob Elgas have some fun before the live 4 p.m. broadcast Thursday in Chicago. Elgas (center) attends an afternoon production meeting before airtime. Elgas talks to new 10 p.m. anchor Alan Krashesky as meteorologist Larry Mowry prepares a forecast. “To be able to do this in my hometown is a great privilege, and I don’t take it lightly,” he said. Makeup artist Anna Pro applies a layer with an airbrush before Elgas anchors his first newscast at ABC-7 Eyewitness News.

MCDH celebrates half a century with tribute to founders In 1966, Dr. Santo Ruggero and Dr. Ed Wilt were instrumental in laying the foundation for the McHenry County Department of Health. As McHenry County has grown, the department has grown from one physician and three nurses in 1966 to the present five divisions, in large part due to the guidance of Wilt and Ruggero, who died in 2011 and 2014, respectively. It is right that we pay tribute to these two McHenry County physicians as the department celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Information regarding Dr. Wilt was gathered from several sources, including his obituary published in the Northwest Herald in June 2011.

Used by permission, the information about Ruggero is from an article written by a McHenry County College student in 2004.

Dr. Edward Wilt (1925-2011)

A native of Chicago, Edward F. Wilt was born in September 1925.

His name is synonymous with the beginning of the health department; he holds the distinct honor of being the first Board of Health president, serving in that capacity for 14 years

FROM THE HEALTH DEPT. Keri Zaleski from 1966 to 1980. Wilt also attained many other firsts for McHenry County, including being the first board-certified physician in internal medicine and the first director of medical education at Northern Illinois Medical Center. Active with the McHenry County Medical Society, he served as president and was program chairman for 15 years.

As Board of Health President, he is credited with beginning the restaurant inspection and formal licensure programs at the health department. After a first-hand experience in 1968 of noticing an unsanitary condition in the kitchen of an establishment where he and his wife, Marie, were dining, Wilt decided to stop by the county clerk’s office to inquire about the licensure and inspection process. He was surprised to learn there was no inspection process and that licenses were obtained simply by completing a form submitted by the proprietor.

Wilt served in the 86th Infantry Division (Blackhawk) and the Third Army (General Patton’s Army) during World War II. Serving in both the European Theater and the Pacific Theater from 1943-1946, he received a combat infantry badge, combat service medal, expert rifleman badge, Good Conduct Medal, the Commemorative Medal and the Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal. He was the recipient of a Bronze Star for his unit’s combat in Germany.

After his military service, Wilt obtained his M.D. from the University of Illinois Chicago in 1953. Upon completion of his studies, he performed his internship and later his internal medicine residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.

Recognized for the quality of his work at Henry Ford Hospital, he

received the award of Chief Resident of the Year for 1957-58. He practiced medicine in McHenry from 1959 to 1995, specializing in internal medicine and gastroenterology.

Wilt served on the medical staff of Northern Illinois Medical Center, where posts included serving as chairman of the Department of Medicine, president of the medical staff and chairman of the Medical Education Committee. In 1976, he earned a master’s degree in public health (MPH) from the University of Illinois School Of Public Health. His quest for knowledge and his passion for teaching prompted a long-standing affiliation with the university’s School of Medicine in Rockford.

His care and compassion for county residents led him to volunteer at the Family Health Partnership Clinic.

Along with his wife and through his extensive interest in U.S. history, Wilt founded and served as first president of the McHenry County Civil War Round Table in 1997. Both Wilt and his wife were well-known in the Civil War re-enactment community.

Dr. Santo Ruggero (1921-2014)

Ruggero served on the Board of Health until 2008 and was medical director from 1966 until his passing in January 2014. Born in 1921, he was a Chicago native and second-generation Italian. Santo attended Catholic school, joining the National Guard as a flute player when he was 16.

When the U.S. entered World War II, the National Guard let go all of those who were either too young or too old.

Being discharged, Santo decided to become a doctor. Right after he was let go, his National Guard platoon was sent to Europe; only one of them came home.

Santo went to medical school at Loyola University. Pre-med and medical school took him 36 months each.

At age 23, he graduated in the top 10 percent of his class. He was chosen by Cook County Hospital to complete his internship. In those days, Cook County Hospital normally would have had about 300 interns and 100 residents.

However, during the war, there were

became known as “the miracle drug.”

When polio hit, it hit hard. Ruggero remembered the hospital being fuller then it ever had been before. He recalled there only were enough iron lungs for about half the polio victims in the hospital, remembering a 12-year-old, red-headed freckled faced boy who died in his care. Ruggero began to perform artificial respiration on the young boy, recalling how he pumped the boy’s chest until his arms were sore. With a tear in his eye, Ruggero spoke of the heartache and the anguish he felt when that young life was lost.

Ruggero witnessed many heart-breaking events in his younger years as a doctor. He and his wife, Mary, who had become a nurse in the years after she married Santo, went to Haiti to dispense the smallpox vaccine. He said there were many times he had to send people who already had the virus home, to die alone, because there was nothing anyone could do to save them.

Although diagnostic equipment and medicine has improved greatly, before his death Ruggero worried the art of medicine has gone missing, relying solely on the science. He

recalled a time when the residents of Wonder Lake used to come to him for advice about sex before sex education was taught in schools; he remembered how he used to serve as the town psychiatrist as well as the town doctor.

In some cases Ruggero gave loans to children who wanted to go away to college but their families could not afford it. He said every person paid him back every penny.

Ruggero started as the only doctor in Wonder Lake. When he was fresh out of medical school, he didn’t even know there was such thing as malpractice insurance, which back then only cost him $16 a year, and he didn’t know how to pay income taxes. He was a doctor when it was unethical for doctors to advertise. He worked as a doctor in a factory, making safety changes the employees needed. In his lifetime, he had delivered more than 3,000 babies. He raised 10 children of his own, three of whom followed in his footsteps to became doctors, and two who became nurses.

merely 100 interns and 30 residents.

There were more than 400 beds in the hospital, usually all full.

During his first year as an intern, Ruggero was in charge of 75 patients with pneumonia. Before the days of penicillin, all the doctors could do was keep the patients comfortable.

The two-week mark was the turning point. At two weeks, either the patient got better or they died. In 1947 when Germany discovered a dye that killed bacteria, penicillin was brought to the U.S. At first, Ruggero was skeptical, along with other doctors.

As a way of testing the drug, Ruggero gave half the ward the new drug and half the ward the old treatment (which was to keep them as comfortable as possible).

By the next morning, the half that received the penicillin were sitting up and talking. Soon after, penicillin

Roku devices on demand

McHenry County libraries help residents cut the cord on cable TV

By CHRIS MORDI

I

editorial@nwherald.com

t’s likely you’ve thought about cutting the cord, dumping high-priced cable for on-demand streaming.

You are not alone. Fortune.com reported that last year more than 1.1 million households cut the cord, with about the same number expected to get off the cable bandwagon this year, according to market research firm Convergence Consulting in its annual “Coach Potato” report.

One organization in McHenry County is making it easier for residents to try cutting the cord before they actually do it.

In April, the Huntley Area Public Library became the first library in the county to start circulating the Roku 1 digital streaming device, preloaded with streaming services such as Netflix, to its patrons. It has four of the units available to check out for a week at a time.

Doug Cataldo, marketing and information technology specialist for the library, said the offering fits the library’s mission.

“We are here to meet the needs of the community first and foremost,” he said. “We have to change what we have to offer to meet what people want.”

Cataldo said the library had to change its check-out durations for the devices because of high demand.

“We have four of the devices circulating, and we are 11 or 12 deep with holds,” he said.

Marengo-Union Library District also has started offering Roku 1 devices.

Fight the power

The Fortune.com article reported that among people between the ages of 21 and 34, 38 percent of respondents said they planned to cancel their cable or satellite subscription and replace it with online video services, a recent Nielsen survey found.

Cataldo said the ability to check out a Roku 1 gave his patrons the ability to try the device before they buy it and decide to cut the cord on their payTV subscriptions.

“You can ‘fight the power’ with this,” he said.

Betsy Adamowski, president of the Illinois Library Association, said the Roku 1 can be an investment in libraries’ future, much like first VHS and VCR rentals were when they first became available at libraries, followed by DVDs and other multimedia entertainment options.

“It is the library’s job to stay in front of technology and the changing needs of our users,” she said.

“We strive to narrow the digital divide and give them the technology some of them can’t afford.”

devices can be connected to a TV or a projector.

“I was surprised the library was offering something like this. It’s a really neat opportunity for people to try it,” said Michelle Mattes, a Lake in the Hills resident and library patron for 15 years.

She said at first she was afraid to try it because she thought she would be unable to work the device, but found it easy to use.

“You just plug it into the TV and go,” Mattes said. “All the directions are there, and it comes in a zippered bag.

“It just gave me options I couldn’t do with a normal TV, letting me watch shows I wouldn’t have access to,” she said.

Mattes said she has been binge-watching the shows “Grace and Frankie” and “House of Cards,” both of which only can be seen on Netflix.

“We knew this was definitely going to open some eyes,” Cataldo said. “This one seems to be making people happy.”

Mattes said she likes it better than other options.

“You can get a DVD at the library, but that only has one season’s worth of shows,” she said. “I can watch several seasons at a time with the Roku, and it is more convenient. You’ll be in the middle of a show and you can stop it, go do something and pick it up right where you left off.”

The Roku devices are a luxury for a busy life juggling family schedules.

“I always tell my kids that we’re spoiled with the technology,” Mattes said. “When I was growing up, we couldn’t catch up to things like this. If you missed a show, you missed it.

“With this, you can look at it as a temporary thing. You have to try it out,” Cataldo said. “Subscriptions to streaming services cost money. In that respect, you can try Netflix and see if you want to subscribe on your own.

“Across the board, this could be a replacement for cable [TV].

“In some ways, now we’re like the local video store,” he said.

More access

“What’s really great is that you have access to content you wouldn’t be able to get without the device,” Cataldo said. “This is a whole new avenue for viewers to get content.”

He said the Roku 1 devices get instant streaming services, including Netflix, YouTube, Vudu, Crackle and others through a Wi-Fi connection. The

Years of heartache lead to help, understanding “Lisa” had problems with her two teenage daughters. The youngest, age 15, had some academic problems and then seemed to lose her way.

Always a kid with goals and plenty of friends and interests, she seemed, almost overnight, to let all that go.

All Lisa could do was guess because the 15-year-old wouldn’t talk. They tried the school counselor and then a private counselor to no avail.

The older daughter, 17, always had been the wilder, less manageable of the two. She always had been intuitively able to split mom and dad to get them arguing about discipline and waltz down the middle doing whatever she wished. Drugs and alcohol had started early for her, and she had made a reputation for herself as a rather tough, hard-partying girl.

Although at one time college bound, she had little hope and less aspiration now.

Unbeknown to her parents she

had been taking her sister to parties with her older friends, and her little sister had been doing a fair amount of drinking and dabbling with hallucinogens and had a secret older boyfriend.

Lisa felt like she was on her own because her husband was either enraged at the girls, yelling and threatening to ground them or take things away (which he never did), or he shrugged off the bad behavior as normal growing pains and did nothing. Lisa knew this wasn’t a good approach to helping them and found herself protecting them and making excuses for their issues.

Neither Lisa nor her husband had any idea they were locked in a pattern many parents with substance abusing kids find themselves.

In fear for the kids and her marriage, Lisa finally decided to go to counseling herself, since nobody else would. She secretly hoped she would

go and the others would see the light and follow. It didn’t quite work out that way.

After several months of meetings with the therapist, Lisa felt more hopeful, less alone, more accepting of her situation and definitely stronger.

She had suggested her older daughter get a substance abuse evaluation, but before that even happened, the older daughter was arrested and charged with possession and distribution of narcotics and drunk driving. They took a plea deal – treatment and probation.

It was here Lisa and her husband learned about what they had been dealing with. Lisa started attending Al Anon, and even though her husband didn’t go, he got the benefits.

Lisa has learned to love the person and hate the disease. She now knows the difference. She’s learned in her house compassion and good boundaries equal recovery. With a healthier

environment, her younger daughter slowly got back on track. Her older daughter finished treatment, relapsed and ended up in a boot camp program. Lisa does everything she can for her older daughter, but she and her husband decided she won’t be coming back to live with them.

Lisa has learned to live happily and productively, despite her family’s difficulties with addiction. She is an outspoken advocate for substance abuse treatment and, like many parents in the same boat, has come through years of agonizing decisions and heartache to an understanding of the problem.

Holy Spirit you who help me see everything and you who show me the way to reach my goal & my ideal, you who give me the Divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me.

Thank you for your love for me and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. Amen

Pray this prayer 3 consecutive days without asking your wish. After the 3rd day your wish will be granted, no matter how difficult it might be. Promise to publish this dialogue as soon as your favor has been granted.
