Pedcor housing complex leads to renewed concerns from Cary residents

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com CARY – Nearly two years after it was initially approved by the previous Village Board, Pedcor Investments’ Garden Place Apartments Complex is taking shape at the intersection of First and Pearl streets.

Construction on the affordable housing project, which drew hundreds of opposing residents to numerous Village Board and zoning board meetings, began in March.

Village Administrator Chris Clark said the project has run smoothly since a few early construction issues were resolved, and by late May the outer shell of the complex’s clubhouse and the foundations of several other buildings were in place.

The first building occupancy is expected in November, and the project is slated to be finished by May 2017, Clark said.

Village trustees said the construction has prompted renewed questions and dialogue from residents about the controversial project.

The 60-unit apartment complex was last publicly discussed in October, when the Board of Zoning Planning and Appeals denied an appeal from Pedcor that would have allowed the development’s original site plan to go through.

In November, Pedcor modified its site plan to reduce its lot coverage and comply with village ordinances and later received permits for that plan.

Trustee Jim Cosler, who was a leader of the Cary Matters PAC that fought the Pedcor development before being elected to the Village Board as a write-in candidate, said he has heard questions from residents who had not heard about Pedcor’s revised plan and thought the complex was not going to be built.

“Everyone I’ve spoken to about it is still upset over what has happened,” Cosler said. “I think people are in a wait-and-see mode right now as far as what’s going to happen once it’s built and what the impact is going to be on their property.”

Others, such as Village President Mark Kownick, said they’ve been receiving inquiries about how to get on the list to move into the apartment complex.

Kownick, who supported the project, said getting an early look at construction confirmed his belief that the

The extended controversy over Pedcor also has affected the makeup of village government. Cosler and Trustee Kim Covelli, who was elected as a write-in candidate, both said the handling of the Pedcor project was part of their motivation to run for office.

“I felt like there was a lot of people speaking out against this project, and yet it was still going through,” Covelli said. “The issue wasn’t so much about the project itself, but rather, the issue was about a project being built in Cary that many residents were against.”

Cosler and Covelli said they factored resident outcry into their decision to vote against a mining extension for Meyer Material last month.

Centegra Hospital finds success in substance abuse educator program

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – As the presence of heroin and substance abuse has increasingly frequented McHenry County communities, local government officials and community stakeholders have looked to create conversations and provide resources to those in need.

One local hospital created a position that would continue these conversations and provide the necessary education to curb this identified epidemic.

After a regular meeting to discuss and evaluate the needs of patients and the community, staff members recognized a lack of resources for people with substance abuse issues as well as a need for additional education for nurses.

Amy Druml, manager of clinic nurse practice at Centegra, said the group put a proposal together in hopes of hiring a substance abuse nurse educator — a role that would track and monitor all patients in the system who may be challenged for withdrawal, support the nurses and provide them with the most updated education resources to treat those patients and provide general education to other departments within the health care system.

“We don’t have somebody who is an addictionologist in our community,” Druml said. “This was our way to do something along those lines.”

The proposal was approved by the McHenry County Mental Health Board, and two years later the position has continued to expand and grow, officials say.

Judy Pasternack, the substance abuse nurse educator for Centegra, has worked in nursing most of her life. She has always had a passion for behavioral health and substance abuse, starting when she was 16 years old and walked around in the park with her peers to try and get people to go and seek treatment.

“It’s a longstanding passion and interest of mine,” she said.

Pasternack said she does not believe people understand addiction and behavioral health treatment. She said for that reason, roles such as hers have become increasingly important to help others understand that addiction is an illness.

“I don’t think we’ve seen an increase in values as a country toward supporting and helping people who are going through these things, or even understanding when they are ready and not ready for change,” she said.

Pasternack also said when she began her nursing career she was exposed to

Centegra nurse educator Judy Pasternack presents a class to obstetrics nursing staff May 24. many more functioning alcoholics than addicts. Now that seems to be the opposite, she said.

“When I was in high school someone who used heroin was looked at as an idiot,” she said. “Today it’s a common drug of use, it’s cheap and easy to get.”

Heroin use has increased 63 percent between 2002 and 2013, according to recent data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Also, in 2013 an estimated 517,000 people reported they had used heroin in the last year or had a heroin-related dependence, according to the data.

“To be able to be that voice for people

who don’t speak, to me that’s gigantic,” Pasternack said. “I want them to speak for themselves, but if they don’t it’s really good to be the voice.”

During its first year of implementation 851 patients were treated within Centegra Healthcare Systems. Health care providers also noticed a decreased length in hospital stays.

Scott Block, executive director of the McHenry County Mental Health Board, said conversations among key community stakeholders are in the works to expand the program. He said the nurse educator position will likely be involved in leading training and education on Narcan administration, as well as other community-based training initiatives.

In its second year, Centegra’s grant to fund the nurse educator role totals more than $108,000.

Block said this position is consistent with the overall goal in the health care field to integrate primary care with behavioral health treatment.

Pasternack said one of the most important thing she teaches nurses is to continue to have conversations about treatment with clients, because those conversations may happen several times before someone decides to receive treatment.

“It’s not frustrating because you have to meet people where they are,” she said.

“You have to keep planting that seed, and you cross your fingers and hope that your seed is the one that will grow.”

HARVARD – The sun came out just in time Saturday for the Harvard Milk Days parade during the 75th annual Milk Days festival.

Toward the start of the parade, people stood up and clapped as members of the National Guard walked by. They were followed by fire trucks roaring their sirens along with members of the U.S. Marines.

As is tradition, Harvard’s Ayer Street was whitewashed for the celebratory day, giving the pavement a milky appearance.

Several businesses, such as MJ’s Coffee Bar of McHenry, used the opportunity to serve the hungry spectators watching the parade.

“It was a very nice parade,” MJ’s owner Mary Jo Gould said. “I always enjoy the people [that come to the parade]. That’s what makes my business great. I have fun with them.”

And it wouldn’t be a Harvard Milk Days parade without Harmilda the Cow, a life-sized bovine statue. Spectators waved and cheered as Harmilda slowly came by on the back of a float.

The parade concluded with dozens of horses roaming the streets to the crowd’s amusement. After the two-hour event came to an end, people made their way over to the Harvard Milk Day fairgrounds, which included an antique tractor display, a carnival, a petting zoo, a milk-drinking contest and chainsaw carving.

Despite rain showers earlier in the day, the sidewalks were filled with excited spectators. Some even had on

Woodstock resident Robert Conour, 68, who has been coming to the parade for the past 63 years, was thankful to see the sun come out.

“It was pretty nasty this morning,” Conour said. “And I was afraid they were even going to try to cancel it.”

The first-ever Harvard Milk Days

festival began in 1942 to honor farmers in the dairy industry. According to milkdays.com, the annual event sees about 30,000 in attendance. Conour, who has attended Harvard Milk Days since he was 5 years old, has seen the parade evolve throughout the years.

“This used to be a simple, small country parade with cows and horses and a few marching bands,” Conour said. “So it’s now dramatically different, and it’s much more interesting and a lot of fun to come to.”

Late start/early release models up for review in District 300

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Two early-release/late-start options for Community Unit School District 300, both of which reduce the number of affected days to 10, will be taken to the community and staff for review in the district’s attempt to change the schedule for next school year.

The Algonquin-based district currently uses a model in which there are 15 early-release dates at the elementary level and 15 late-start days at the middle and high school level. The setup was said to have caused scheduling conflicts for students and families, district officials have said.

After a discussion at the previous board meeting, Superintendent Fred Heid presented four options,

two of which were chosen to go forward for a parent and staff survey.

Both the final options reduced the number of affected days from 15 to 10, Heid said. One maintained early-release days for elementary students and latestart days for middle and high school students, while the other option moved to have early-release days across all grades. Both options would schedule early release/late start on the same days for both primary and secondary schools.

The other two choices presented reduced the number of affected days to eight, about which Heid said, “I would argue the eight-day options do not provide us with an adequate amount of time” for professional development.

The early-release and late-start days have been and will be used for training, which Heid has said is

necessary for teachers to be able to disaggregate data and make decisions about how best to use it in their instruction.

The administrative presentation notes that the days selected in both options were chosen because they wouldn’t be near holiday breaks, other than Dec. 8, which is a day contractually designated for teachers to do report cards.

The selected days include Sept. 2, Sept. 23, Oct. 7, Oct. 31, Dec. 9, Feb. 17, March 2, April 13, April 28 and May 12.

Heid said additional training still would be necessary, such as half or full days, after school sessions or summer institute days.

The board is expected to consider the results of the survey and vote on a new calendar for next school year at the June board meeting.

Median sales price of McHenry County homes increases in April

By KELLY ROCHELEAU For the Northwest Herald

The number of closed sales on homes in McHenry County in April increased 19.3 percent from last year, and the median sales price of homes saw a 6.9 percent spike, according to the Illinois Association of Realtors.

The number of closed sales in April 2016 was 500, compared to 419 in April 2015. In turn, the median sales price

was $187,000 in April 2016, while it was $175,000 in last year.

The figures further show that the inventory of homes for sale was 1,976 in April 2016, representing a 15.3 percent dip from the previous year, which had an inventory of 2,334.

These numbers suggest an improvement in the real estate market in McHenry County, local real estate experts said.

“Homes that are priced right for

their condition are selling quickly,” said Jim Haisler of the Heartland Realtor Association in Crystal Lake. He said homes in certain neighborhoods are selling better than others.

Haisler said he believes median and average prices generally are not a good gauge of a county’s housing market.

The number of closed sales in Chicago in April increased 9.3 percent, as the 10,216 sales occurred that month, compared to the 9,343 from that same

month a year earlier.

The median sales price of Chicago homes was $230,000 in 2016, a 10.6 percent uptick from the median sales price of $208,000 in 2015.

The number of closed sales in Kane County increased 6 percent, from 614 in April 2015 to 651 in April 2016.

WOODSTOCK – After more than 10 years with the Woodstock Police Department, and a 45-year career in law enforcement, Woodstock Police Chief Robert Lowen has shown his dedication through the very end, Deputy Police Chief John Lieb said.

Lowen announced his retirement in December, and Friday was his last day as chief before Lieb fills the position.

Throughout his time with the department, Lowen developed programs including a permanent beat officer program, a K-9 officer program, coffee with the chief, drug take-back program, neighborhood watch program and senior call-in program, and he increased community service officers and bicycle patrols.

“He backed that with sincerity and the leadership abilities that he brought to the police department,” Lieb said. “I think he exemplifies how to be a leader, and how to be a mentor.”

Lowen said he started his career in law enforcement when he was 18 years old, working as a radio dispatcher at the Northfield Police Department.

A few years later, he became a police officer with

Lowen said.

The biggest change Lowen’s seen throughout his career is technology advancements, but even with new technology, the basics are still needed, he said.

“It’s still a hands-on kind of occupation or career, where you can rely on technology all you want, [but] it still takes good police work, and good common sense and good interaction with your community to make the whole thing work,” Lowen said.

Lowen oversaw 37 sworn officers, in addition to detectives, telecommunications and records clerks, community service officers, seasonal school crossing guards and administrative personnel.

Hearing from citizens when staff went out of their way to do something nice and do their job professionally was one of the most rewarding parts of the job, he said.

Furthering education among the police staff by encouraging them to obtain a bachelor’s, master’s or allowing for more police-related training is something else Lowen supported, both Lowen and Lieb said.

Lowen even married one of his officers this past year, after he became a minister to officiate one of his daughter’s friend’s weddings.

In retirement, Lowen said he hopes to focus on family, faith and community. He and his wife, Debbie, live in Carpentersville and have four children and eight grandchildren.

“It’s more than a 40-hour-a-week job, and I just look forward to having some down time and just chilling a little bit,” Lowen said.

In a statement, Woodstock High School Principal Justin Smith called Donato an “ambassador for countless students and staff” throughout his time at the school.

“His passion for science and the environment has inspired students and been instrumental in shaping school and district initiatives,” Smith said.

Donato said he was grateful to District 200, adding he was allowed many opportunities he might have been denied elsewhere, such as field trips around the country.

In his time there, he also served as the student council adviser for 30 years, the environmental club adviser for 20 years and the president of the teachers union for nine years.

In addition to his position with MCSEEP, Donato said he hopes to take scuba diving trips with his wife after they both recently received their diving certifications.

Throughout District 200, there were 33 retirees this year, according to district officials.

WOODSTOCK – A longtime Woodstock Community Unit School District 200 teacher, with a propensity for projects intersecting conservation and education, is leaving after three decades and has plans to take on a fitting new role.

Bill Donato, 56, of Woodstock, has retired from the district after teaching high school science at Woodstock High Bill Donato School for 30 years. Before that, he taught middle school in Houston, Texas.

After reflecting on the various projects and activities he organized for students during his time with District 200, Donato said he’s headed to the McHenry County School Environmental Education Program, where he will serve as the new, part-time director.

“It used to be just recycling lessons,

mainly in elementary school, but now they have a whole, comprehensive [kindergarten] through ninth-grade environmental education, and I want to expand that more into high schools,” Donato said.

Run through the county, MCSEEP provides lessons and events at McHenry County schools to educate students and community members about ways to decrease their carbon footprint and to be better stewards of the planet.

Donato has initiated numerous projects revolving around topics he taught in his time as a high school teacher.

In January, a 30-acre span of land west of the high school was named the William C. Donato Conservation Area, honoring him after he spent about eight years making improvements to the land and teaching students about it along the way. Back in 2012, Donato’s class participated in the International Carbon Footprint Challenge offered by Stanford University, which had students take a closer look at their own carbon footprints.

WOODSTOCK – Registration is open for the Illinois Small Business Development Center’s lunch and learn program.

The event, hosted by the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce and Industry and SBDC Illinois, will take place noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Golden Eagle Community Bank, 975 Country Club Road, Woodstock. The event is free.

People interested can RSVP through Tuesday morning by calling 815-338-2436 or emailing chamber@woodstockilchamber. com.

Participants should bring their own bag lunch and can expect to learn about how the SBDC can help their business, create a business plan, re-evaluate an existing business plan, develop a marketing strategy or social media plan or prepare a loan application for capital, according to a news release from the Woodstock chamber.

WOODSTOCK – At Burseth Farm, owners and brothers Derek and Gavin Burseth sell their all-natural goat milk soap and other products while incorporating their Norwegian roots.

The store, 110 N. Benton St., Woodstock, has been open for about a month, and already they said one of the largest challenges of the business is keeping up with demand.

Derek Burseth, 32, owns a farm in unincorporated Woodstock where about 30 Alpine goats are raised, and where Burseth Farm products are made. He said he’s always had a connection with animals, and has been interested in farming since he was a child and visited his ancestor’s farm in Norway.

Eventually, the brother’s took their interests and history, and made it into a business by tweaking an old family recipe for goat milk soap.

“We started making products for ourselves, we liked it, we started giving it to friends and family, they liked it, and it kind of just grew from that,” 18-year-old Gavin Burseth said.

The brothers started their online business about three years ago, and

can’t believe the difference the soap has made on their children’s skin.

Creative names for the soaps help reach any age group and gender, Gavin Burseth said.

Names for soaps include “Fluffy Candy,” “Butt Naked,” and “OMG,” which stands for “Oh My Goat,” Gavin Burseth said. The bars can be used for face, hair and body, he said. Another popular product has been the Nordic Ice Rub, which contains essential oils that provide natural pain relief.

Burseth Farm produces about 1,000 bars of soap per week, Derek Burseth said, and the job keeps the brothers and their mother, marketing manager for Burseth Farm Cheryl Burseth, extremely busy.

Although it’s a 24/7 job raising the goats and running a business, Gavin Burseth said his favorite part of it is working with his “30 four-legged employees” and socializing with the goats, who all have their own personalities and names.

The store is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Tuesday and Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, noon to 3 p.m. Sunday and closed Mondays.

District 300 chief academic officer leaving for California

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – After a year as Algonquin-based Community Unit School District 300’s chief academic officer, Benjamin Churchill is moving to the sunny beaches of California to fill a superintendent role.

Churchill, who has been with District 300 serving in various capacities, will be the next superintendent of Carlsbad Unified Benjamin School District in Carls- Churchill bad, California.

“I feel very fortunate and just really excited about the opportunity,” Churchill said.

He began looking for superintendent positions about a year ago after doing some collaborative soul searching with his wife, Nicole, he said.

They decided southern California was one of their top location choices before the head administrative role opened up earlier this year.

Churchill will move with Nicole and their two daughters, one who will

be in first grade and the other who will be in fifth grade next year.

Before serving as the chief academic officer, Churchill was the assistant superintendent for high school teaching and learning for four years and before that, served as Dundee-Crown High School’s associate principal of curriculum and as the freshmen academy coordinator, too.

Throughout his time with District 300, he said a lot was accomplished.

Specifically, he pointed to partnerships with Elgin Community College that facilitate more dual-credit opportunities and initiatives using the Advancement via Individual Determination program to help more students prepare for college.

Looking forward, Churchill said his immediate plan for the Carlsbad school district will first and foremost be to listen and observe to gain a good understanding of the district’s needs.

“I also have an affinity for technology in schools, so I’m interested to learn more about their current tech initiatives, and certainly would like to support students and teachers in increasing the use of technology in classrooms.”

MCC employees honored are (from left) Pat Stejskal, director of institutional effectiveness; David White, history instructor; and Christine Glans, divisional secretary for humanities and social science.

Courthouse, Sheriff’s House may get historical marker WOODSTOCK – The Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House in Woodstock could be the site of an Illinois historic marker that would acknowledge the significance of the property and its association with labor leader Eugene V. Debs.

Deb’s role in the Pullman Strike and the resulting court case led to his sixmonth incarceration in the Sheriff’s House in 1895.

Kathleen Spaltro, board member of the nonprofit Woodstock Celebrates, has led the effort to apply for the plaque from the Illinois State Historical Society. The Woodstock City Council approved of spending $1,700 to purchase the marker, if the application is accepted.

The $500 application fee will be paid for by Woodstock Celebrates and the Illinois Labor History Society.

The sign would be 29 by 40.5 inches and have space for 100 words, according to city documents.

“It is remarkable that Woodstock is associated with three world-class

figures: Chester Gould, Orson Welles and Eugene V. Debs,” Spaltro said in an email. “The association with Debs needs to be much better known.”

At the May 17 city council meeting, where the application was unanimously approved, Spaltro noted several points of Deb’s history.

His time at what was then the McHenry County Jail transformed Debs into a national political activist, founder of the Socialist Party of America and five-time candidate for the Socialist Party for president of the United States, Spaltro said.

While in jail, Debs had several wellknown visitors including reporter Nellie Bly and Keir Hardie, the first Labour member of Parliament, she said.

The application will need to be approved by the Illinois State Historical Society before the marker can be created.

Spaltro collected letters of support for the marker from the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House Advisory Commission, State Sen. Pam Althoff, State Rep. Jack Franks, the Illinois State Historical Society and the McHenry County Bar Association.

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com • Sunday, June 5, 2016

Imagine you are at a “base ball match,” not in a stadium but in a field. A farmer’s field, perhaps. The year is 1858. There are no Cubs, no Mets, no Cardinals; just a local team referred to in a box score as the “Independants.” It’s a beautiful summer day and spectators shield themselves from the sun with bonnets and parasols, while encouraging the hurler and politely applauding a “corker” of a play at second base. Perhaps you brought a basket with some homemade biscuits and honey, fried chicken and pie, since there are no vendors. This 1875 photo shows the Woodstock baseball team standing in the public square of what was Centerville as late as 1844. The McHenry County Historical Society’s “club nine” will play two games against the Grayslake Athletics at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 12, in Prairie Grove’s Village Hall park (off Ames and Barreville roads) and at 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, at Central Park in Grayslake.

Cary Deputy Police Chief Jim Fillmore said police will enforce the new law on a case-by-case basis after determining if the person deliberately intended to harm the animal or has repeatedly violated the law.

Local police departments typically start to receive calls from watchful residents as summer approaches. The National Weather Service predicts daytime temperatures will hover around the mid- to high-70s through Monday.

Fillmore said children should never be left in vehicles, regardless of the temperature.

3 more McHenry County students win National Merit Scholarships The NORTHWEST HERALD Three area students will receive annual scholarships through the college-sponsored Merit Scholarship program, according to a news release from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

About 3,000 winners of National Merit Scholarships, financed by colleges and universities nationwide, were announced earlier this week. Among the more than 120 winners in Illinois were Robin J. Kim, of Cary; John M. Murawski, of Cary; and Brendan J. Batliner, of Crystal Lake.

Kim, a graduated senior from Prairie Ridge High

School, received a scholarship from Northwestern University as did John M. Murawski, also from Prairie Ridge.

Batliner, a student from the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Aurora, received his scholarship from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, according to the release.

The scholarships range from $500 to $2,000 annually for up to four years of undergraduate study at the institution financing the award.

This year, 184 higher education institutions provided scholarships for the program. The sponsor schools include 106 private and 78 public institutions

in 45 states, plus the District of Columbia.

The 2016 National Merit Scholarship competition began when more than 1.5 million juniors in roughly 22,000 schools took the 2014 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

Last fall, 16,000 semifinalists were named, and then 15,000 finalists were chosen based on additional requirements. Roughly half of those finalists will come out winners.

Kaitlyn Schmidt, a graduated senior from Crystal Lake Central High School, last month earned $2,500, most of which will be financed by the National Merit Scholarship Corp.

BIG CD RATES FOR BIG PLANS

No matter what you’re planning for, it’s nice to know you can invest in a CD that’s safe and secure. And with a growth rate like this, your plans can be a whole lot bigger.

To find an office near you, visit www.illinoisstatebank.com

3 YEAR RISING RATE CD

APYs (Annual Percentage Yields) are shown as of 6/2/2016 and may be subject to change. Minimum of $5,000 is required to open and to maintain the account. Maximum deposit of $250,000. Penalty for early withdrawal. New money required. IRA eligible. Not available to municipal entities.

Offer available until 6/30/2016. Ask for details.

Nerve Beginnings and Endings It is estimated that as much as 40% of the population will experience “sciatica” at some point in their lives. This type of pain originates with the sciatic nerves, which are the body’s two largest nerves. They emanate from the lower lumbar spine and pass through the buttocks, run down each leg, and extend to the soles of the feet and the big toes. When these nerves are pinched or irritated from a bulging (“slipped”) disc, feelings of soreness, numbness, tingling, and/or stabbing pain may result. Sciatica often goes away on its own within hours or days, although it may persist for weeks or months. If pain medications and/or steroids don’t provide relief, surgery to pare back discs may be considered.

You may need surgery if you still have disabling leg pain after three months or more of nonsurgical treatment. A part of your surgery, your herniated disk may be removed to stop it from pressing on your nerve. To schedule an appointment, please call ORTHOILLINOIS at 815-398-9491. Our physicians specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and problems of the bones, muscles, tendons, and nerves.

16-year-old Melrose Park boy shot in head while on porch

MELROSE PARK – The family of a 16-year-old boy from suburban Chicago said he was shot in the head Friday night while sitting on his porch and is on life support at a hospital.

Dawson Stephan’s brother told the Chicago Tribune the teen was with two friends on the porch of their home in Melrose Park when someone in a minivan fired about a dozen shots around 10:30 p.m. Friday.

Andrew Stephan said his brother is on a ventilator at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood. He says he ran outside when he heard the gunfire and found his brother bleeding and lying on the ground.

Melrose Park police spokesman Daniel Sanchez said the shooting was under investigation.

HOUSTON – A 27-year-old ex-Marine from Houston has been charged with murder in the stabbing death of an 11-year-old who was walking home from school last month, police said Saturday.

Jackson is being held in the Harris County Jail on $100,000 bond.

Beyond California, Sanders signals post-primary future

By KEN THOMAS

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – With the primary season near its end, a defiant Bernie Sanders declared Saturday that the Democratic presidential process should not be decided by party leaders and elected officials, predicting a contested summer convention against rival Hillary Clinton.

Speaking to reporters three days before the California primary, Sanders showed few signs of surrender, vowing to take his bid to the Philadelphia convention in July. He urged news organizations not to anoint Clinton as the presumptive nominee through a combination of pledged delegates and superdelegates.

“It is extremely unlikely that Secretary Clinton will have the requisite number of pledged delegates to claim victory on Tuesday night,” Sanders said. “Now I have heard reports that Secretary Clinton has said it’s all going to be over on Tuesday night. I have reports that the media, after the New Jersey results come in, are going to declare that it is all over. That simply is not accurate.”

Sanders said by the end of the primaries June 14 neither candidate would have enough pledged delegates to declare victory and would be dependent upon superdelegates to reach the magic number. “In other words, the Democratic National Convention will be a contested convention,” he said.

Clinton currently leads Sanders among pledged delegates by a count of 1,769 to 1,501, an edge of 268 pledged delegates. An Associated Press count of superdelegates shows Clinton leading 547 to 46. Clinton is currently 67 delegates short of clinching the nomination through the combination of the two and is poised to cross that threshold in the coming days.

Sanders wants Democrats

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks Wednesday during a campaign rally at the Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto, Calif. to break with tradition. In 2008, then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama clinched the nomination against Clinton through a mix of both types of delegates. And superdelegates historically have backed the candidate who wins the most delegates from primaries and caucuses, a threshold Clinton is likely to cross this week.

“It is a deeply flawed process,” Sanders said Saturday, “and whether I win this nomination or I do not win this nomination, I will do everything I can to change it.”

The Vermont senator is seeking a victory in California, New Jersey and four other contests Tuesday. A win in the Golden State, where polls show a tight contest, would be an embarrassment for Clinton and embolden Sanders to aggressively lobby superdelegates to switch their support to him, arguing he’s the best candidate to take on presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Clinton has begun forcefully attacking Trump on national security and his overall temperament for the White House and has largely looked past Sanders, hitting hard at the GOP real estate mogul. She told supporters Friday that “if all goes well, I will have the great honor as of Tuesday to be the Democratic nominee for president.”

Sanders is expected to return to his Vermont home Wednesday, and advisers say he intends to ramp up his courtship of the party’s superdelegates, a process that is already underway, pointing to polls showing him faring better than Clinton in head-tohead matchups with Trump.

He will compete in the District of Columbia primary June 14, the final contest. Beyond that, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said they are considering whether Sanders might appear at more rallies around the country after the primaries and speak in Chicago at a gathering of Sanders activists June 17-19.

But a loss in California, the nation’s most populous state, would undercut his case against Clinton.

“Once the numbers come in, I think we can begin a serious discussion among ourselves about what the right path for us is,” said Tad Devine, Sanders’ senior adviser. He added: “If he wins California and a lot of states, he’ll want to make a closing argument to the superdelegates.”

Sanders is pushing for his policy views to be included in the party’s platform and wants the party to become more inclusive of independent and working-class voters.

AP: Patchy reporting undercuts hate crimes count CHRISTINA A. CASSIDY The Associated Press

BOGALUSA, La. – The knock on the door, strong and quick, jolted Barbara Hicks Collins awake. Someone must be in trouble, she thought. She flung open her front door to the shocking sight of her car engulfed in flames.

Investigators later determined someone had deliberately set fire to her Mercedes and tried to burn down the one-story brick house she shared with her mother in this eastern Louisiana town, once known as a hotbed of Ku Klux Klan activity. Hicks Collins, a black woman, had no doubt the fire – set on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2012 – was racially motivated. Her father had been a prominent civil rights leader, and her family remained active in the community.

Despite the circumstances, the case never was counted in the nation’s annual tally of hate crimes. In fact, neither the police department nor the local sheriff has filed a hate crime report with the FBI since at least 2009.

And that’s not unusual, an investigation by The Associated Press found.

The AP identified more than 2,700 city police and county sheriff’s departments across the country that have not

ton, South Carolina, church, and community groups have reported a notable increase in violence against Muslims and mosques in the wake of last year’s terror acts in Paris and San Bernardino, California. Gay and transgender people also are regular targets.

Between 5,000 and 7,000 hate crime incidents are catalogued each year in the FBI report, with nearly half of all victims in recent years targeted because of their race.

A better accounting of hate crimes, the FBI and other proponents say, would not only increase awareness but also improve efforts to combat such crimes with more resources for law enforcement training and community outreach.

Sheriffs’ jobs vary, but FBI encourages hate crime reporting

Continued from page A24

forcement reporting is spotty beyond those that never file. For example, thousands of city police and county sheriff’s departments – which handle the vast majority of local law enforcement responses and investigations – reported in some years but not others. And, in some cases, departments reported for, say, only one quarter of a year.

or town to handle law enforcement duties in their jurisdiction. Elsewhere, a county sheriff’s office or department in a major city might be responsible for overseeing inmates at the county jail and transferring defendants to and from court.

In some cases, a county sheriff’s office or department simply may provide security at the local courthouse.

The FBI encourages all local law enforcement agencies with sworn officers who have arrest powers to file hate crime reports. That applies to most county sheriff’s offices and departments. As a result, these agencies regardless of responsibilities were included in the analysis of hate crime reporting conducted by The Associated Press.

City police departments represent the vast majority of the nation’s local law enforcement agencies, but county sheriff’s departments also cover wide territories and have varying responsibilities.

There are roughly 3,000 sheriff’s offices or departments in the U.S. In many cases, a sheriff is an elected official who serves as the chief law enforcement officer in a county. Not every state has local sheriffs, and the duties of a sheriff can differ greatly from county to county depending on long-standing agreements with other law enforcement agencies in the area.

A county sheriff’s office or department might be responsible for patrolling and responding to crime in the unincorporated areas of a county or will enter into a contract with a city

zero hate crimes, a signal to both the FBI and the community that the agency is paying attention to bias attacks.

FBI Director James Comey has called on all agencies to do a more aggressive job tracking hate crimes, and also has initiated training sessions for hundreds of law enforcement officers nationwide.

Officials with both the Bogalusa Police and the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Department said they did not know hate crime information was not being reported and blamed clerical errors. No arrests have been made, and investigators were unable to determine whether the setting of the fires constituted a hate crime.

Under FBI guidelines, an incident should be reported if a “reasonable and prudent” person would conclude a crime was motivated by bias. Among the criteria for evaluation is whether an incident coincided with a significant holiday or date, specifically citing the King holiday.

The AP examined FBI hate crime reports for the years 2009-2014 and matched those against lists of every city and county law enforcement agency in each state, obtained separately from all 50 states.

An analysis revealed that law en-

amation League, which has launched a “50 States Against Hate” campaign that includes a call for more robust reporting of bias attacks.

The statistics analyzed by the AP revealed wide disparities in how seriously states take the reporting. Nationwide, there were 16 states in which more than 25 percent of local law enforcement agencies did not appear at all in the FBI hate crime database in the six-year period studied. That included 64 percent of agencies in Mississippi and 59 percent in Louisiana.

Some states clearly made reporting a priority, however. For example, nearly all the roughly 350 local law enforcement agencies in Tennessee routinely filed. Under a state law, they could lose funds for failing to file reports.

One challenge for law enforcement is that investigators looking into hate crimes must gather evidence not only of what happened, but why – which is not always easy to determine.

Serious injuries might indicate an assault. But without clear evidence that the attack was motivated by bias, it can be difficult to make the call.

“In the course of any investigation, there is not always a bright line saying, ‘OK, it’s a hate crime,’ ” said Brian Edgell, a supervisor with the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting program.

“It’s really up to their discretion, and we give them the mechanism to report that to us.”

OUR VIEW

All or nothing on state budget Local school officials are saying they hope to get money from Springfield before the upcoming school year begins – but unless it’s part of an overall budget, it’s better if they don’t get any state aid.

If they don’t get any state aid, it’s better if they keep the doors closed.

Families of schoolchildren around the state just might need to be inconvenienced by Illinois’ budget crisis in a way that affects their day-to-day lives if there is to be an end to this standoff.

For the record So far, nothing has been able to generate Nothing has been able to enough public pressure generate enough public presto force some kind of sure to force state legislators deal. Deadlines, public to make a budget deal. scorn, a highest-in-thenation unemployment rate, fiscal ruin – none of this has been enough to make our state’s lawmakers do their jobs.

Illinois has had no budget for almost an entire year.

In discussions on the floor at the state House of Representatives last weekend, lawmakers from the two parties often seemed to just talk past each other – when they weren’t attacking one another.

Republicans such as Rep. Bob Pritchard of Hinckley pointed out things are falling apart and there has to be compromise, and, minutes later, Democratic Rep. Mary Flowers (in the legislature since 1985, probably not a fan of term limits) gets up and says negotiating doesn’t mean closing daycare centers on babies and that Republicans are simply protecting corporations in Illinois.

Note to Rep. Flowers – Illinois is tied for the highest unemployment rate in the country, and joblessness has grown three months in a row. Corporations don’t really like us all that much these days.

But the unemployment rate isn’t enough to force a deal.

When seniors, women and children who depend on state government-funded agencies for help lost access to services, it wasn’t enough.

When our state’s public universities were weakened to the point of closing their doors – and then offered a pittance in state aid as a “stopgap” – it wasn’t enough.

When the state’s backlog of unpaid bills once again approached $7 billion, and was projected to reach $10 billion by the end of June, that wasn’t enough.

But if hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren are sitting home sending Snapchats to each other by mid-September, something will have to happen.

In fact, just the thought of this happening might be enough to force a compromise. People suddenly would be acutely aware just how much the state government has failed everyone it is supposed to serve over the past year.

So this summer, no stopgaps. No partial funding bills. Make it all or nothing.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Fed plan needn’t depend on jobs If the Federal Reserve was looking for reasons not to raise interest rates when its policy-making committee meets later this month, it now has two.

Friday’s new and surprisingly weak U.S. employment numbers, added to investor anxiety about a possible British exit from the European Union, make a plausible case for leaving short-term interest rates unchanged.

That would be a mistake. The Fed needs to step back and consider. A British exit and volatile U.S. jobs numbers notwithstanding, the balance of evidence continues to shift. The case is strong for moving monetary policy back toward normal – gently but purposefully, and without further delay.

The U.S. labor market is hard to read. Employers added just 38,000 jobs in May – surprisingly low, even allowing for the fact the figures are volatile and a strike at Verizon kept 35,000 workers off the monthly payroll count. On the other hand, the

unemployment rate, reflecting exits from the labor force, fell to 4.7 percent, suggesting a pretty tight market. Pay was up, as well, for an increase of 2.5 percent over the previous year.

These conflicting numbers make it hard to measure slack in the labor market. The main question is how many of the workers who’ve stopped looking for jobs would get back into the labor market if employment opportunities improved. The evidence suggests a diminishing but still significant number of people would do so. This is the case for keeping monetary policy loose.

Bear in mind, though, that monetary policy is extremely loose by any conventional measure and still would be if the policy rate was raised another quarter-point. Very low interest rates and a massively expanded central-bank balance sheet (thanks to a prolonged spell of quantitative easing) are distorting asset prices and creating

problems for the future. What’s more, as a way to stimulate demand, they seem less and less effective.

In short, the case for maintaining stimulus is strong, but the case for doing it with monetary policy isn’t.

Ideally, the U.S. government would normalize its economic policy by combining fiscal stimulus with a more cautious monetary policy. The country badly needs to repair and improve its infrastructure. Borrowing for that purpose would be good for the economy and, under current conditions, easily affordable.

The Fed doesn’t control fiscal policy, but it can and should signal it’s no longer willing to carry the whole burden of reviving the economy, and that the balance of fiscal and monetary stimulus is dangerously out of kilter. It needs to avoid the suspicion it’s dithering and that super-low interest rates will be available indefinitely.

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

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Work together for good of state

To the Editor: After reading Rich Miller’s column “Madigan vs. Rauner in all-out political war,” I feel like a kid whose parents are always fighting and there is nothing I can do about it. I really wish Mom and Dad (Madigan and Rauner) would get along for the good of the family (our state).

Helmets not the answer

To the Editor: It seems just about every day I read about a motorcycle crash, and I knew that soon I would see a letter calling for a helmet law, comparing helmets to seat belts and air bags.

Motorcycles are inherently dangerous.

You’re more likely to fall on a bicycle then a tricycle or fall out of a wagon – basic lessons your average kid knows.

To drive a motorcycle, you need strength, dexterity, agility and good reflexes. Seniors getting their first motorcycles, especially large motorcycles (even though it may look like a small car), are at the most risk, not having the physical ability needed to operate such a vehicle. Add a passenger, and

VIEWS Cal Thomas circumstances in which many find themselves. He is correct.

“Roots” is depressing. Stories about overcoming obstacles are inspirational and can produce motivation. Add hard work, and any life can be improved.

The kinds of examples Snoop is talking about can be found everywhere if one will seek them. My search took me to a webpage called Tech.Co and an article “38 Black Entrepreneurs Share Their Origin Stories.” There also is a link to another article: “21 Most Successful Black Entrepreneurs Throughout History.”

Here’s one of my historical favorites: “Stephen Smith grew up as an indentured servant in Pennsylvania.

From a young age, he was assigned to work in the lumberyards by Thomas Boude, whose wealth stemmed from

the physical ability needed increases dramatically.

As one who drove a full-dressed Harley for more than 20 years, I can tell you the helmets, headlights and loud exhaust pipes are not the answer.

Joe Brabec

his extensive lumber business. After buying his freedom for $50 at the age of 21, he continued to work in the lumberyards until establishing his own lumber business in 1822, as well as dealing coal. By the 1850s, Smith was grossing $100,000 in annual sales.

By 1857, Smith was worth $500,000 (approximately $13.5 million today).

On top of being a businessman, Smith was a minister and served as chairman of the black abolitionist organization in Columbia, PA.” The stories of modern African-American entrepreneurs and visionaries may not be as dramatic as the historical ones, but they still are compelling.

What all of these men and women have in common is they did not accept present conditions as the final verdict on their lives. They committed themselves through hard work and the vision for a brighter future.

Take the time to read their stories. I’ll bet you’ve never heard of most of them. Even during Black History Month, many of their stories are never told.

Why is that? One would think these inspirational stories are tailor-made for so-called civil rights leaders, who could tell African-American kids, “If they could do it, so can you.” Instead, we get stories about slavery, discrimination and charges of racism.

I live in a suburb of Washington, D.C. At night, the local TV stations frequently lead with crime stories.

Many involve young African-American men with guns. The image conveyed to viewers is a negative one.

There is no secret to becoming successful, or at least self-sufficient: Stay in school, avoid drugs and crime, get married before you have children and work to stay married, develop a vision.

Snoop Dogg’s criminal background and misogynist lyrics may not make him the best role model for young African-Americans, but he’s right about being fed-up with slavery movies. So am I.

To the Editor: On June 7, 1967, the USS Liberty (GTR5) was attacked by Israeli aircraft and torpedoed by Israeli small torpedo boats.

The Liberty, with limited fire power, could not defend itself and asked for help from other U.S. ships in the area.

Then-President Lyndon B. Johnson called off help from carriers in the area before they could reach the Liberty. Many crew members of the Liberty were killed that day. The Liberty was scrapped because

it could not be repaired. No action was taken against Israel. These are historic facts. Research it if you care.

My musical tastes do not include rap and hip-hop, but when Snoop Dogg comments on the “Roots” remake, saying he is tired of movies about slavery and would prefer a series “about the success that black folks are having,” he is singing my song.

The original “Roots” drew a phenomenal 130 million viewers when it aired on ABC in 1977. The remake, now playing on The History Channel, probably will draw far fewer viewers, just because it is on cable and most are familiar with the storyline.

The filmmakers apparently are targeting a younger generation.

While there is no question slavery has left an indelible mark on the descendants of slaves and the nation (former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has called it America’s “birth defect”), continuing to dwell on the subject does nothing to improve a single black life.

Company CEO urges employees to re-imagine chain’s future

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO The Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Wal-Mart’s CEO ir urging employees to reimagine its future in a fast-shifting retail landscape.

The company is at a crossroads, as its long-held dominance in pricing has been chipped away at by Amazon and dollar stores. But it’s fighting back on multiple fronts, growing more aggressive with prices and going after Amazon, both online and on the doorstep, by expanding delivery services.

“We want to make every day easier for busy families. We’re connecting all the parts of Wal-Mart into one seamless shopping experience with great stores, easy pickup, fast delivery and apps and websites that are simple to use,” Chief Executive Doug McMillon said at the annual shareholders’ meeting.

The event was packed with 14,000 people including nearly 6,000 Wal-Mart workers as well as shareholders, analysts and several Walton family members. The legacy of the company’s late founder Sam Walton still resonates, with executives paying homage to his philosophy of low prices and customer service. Part business meeting, part pep rally, the meeting was hosted by comedian James Corden and featured musicians including Nick Jonas, Maxwell and Andy Grammer.

AP file photo Entertainment aside, Wal-Mart emphasized ways in which it’s working to Wal-Mart Stores Inc. says it will be testing its grocery delivery service with ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft in the next two weeks in Denver and Phoenix. That’s in addition to a quiet pilot program that started in March with Deliv for its Sam’s Club customers that be more nimble.

Wal-Mart testing Uber, Lyft for online grocery delivery

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO The Associated Press

BENTONVILLE, Ark. – Wal-Mart Stores Inc. says it will be testing its grocery delivery service with ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft in the next two weeks in Denver and Phoenix.

That’s in addition to a quiet pilot program that started in March with Deliv for its Sam’s Club customers that involves delivery of general merchandise and grocery for business members in Miami.

The move is the latest step in the retailer’s efforts to better compete with Amazon, which is delivering groceries directly to shoppers’ homes in several markets.

Wal-Mart’s test works this way: A customer in one of the test locations orders groceries online and then selects a delivery window. A personal shopper then selects the products and the team may request a driver from one of these services to go to the store, pick up the customer’s order and take it directly to the customer’s location.

Customers pay Wal-Mart the regular $7 to $10 delivery charge online and make no payments to the driver.

“We’re thrilled about the possibility of delivering new convenient options to our customers, and about working with some transformative companies in this test,” Michael Bender, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Wal-Mart Global e-commerce wrote in a blog posted Friday. He noted that the company will “start small and let our

The company is spending money on its stores and its staff. It’s in the second year of a $2.7 billion investment in training and higher wages, with the goal of making Wal-Mart a place people want to be.

Changes have been painful at times.

The company announced this year it would shutter 269 stores worldwide, about half of them in the U.S. That’s a tiny fraction of its locations worldwide, but was a rare pruning for Wal-Mart, particularly on its home turf.

Yet those maneuvers to spruce up stores and increase wages appear to be paying off.

The company posted its seventh consecutive quarter of rising comparable-store sales at U.S. Wal-Mart locations, which account for 62 percent of annual revenue. It expects sales to grow again this quarter.

Traffic counts are up for the sixth straight quarter.

“We’re thrilled about the possibility of delivering new convenient options to our customers, and about working with some transformative companies in this test. ... [The company will] start small and let our customers guide us.”

customers guide us.”

The tests with Uber and others come as Wal-Mart is also rapidly expanding its curbside grocery delivery to 14 new markets for a total of 54 markets and in over 200 stores. That allows customers to order groceries online and then pick them up outside their local store. WalMart says 90 percent of its curbside customers are repeat users and more than 90 percent of its baskets include fresh grocery items like dairy and produce.

It’s also been testing grocery home delivery service in San Jose, California, and Denver, Colorado.

Wal-Mart’s main focus, however, has been further capitalizing on its power to combine its brick-and-mortar stores with online shopping.

Amid a disastrous quarter for many retailers as a whole, Wal-Mart excelled.

But red flags have appeared have as Wal-Mart digs in to fend off Amazon.com.

Overall revenue in the fiscal year ended in January declined slightly to $478.6 billion, excluding revenue from membership fees and other income. That’s the first annual drop since the company went public 45 years ago.

Wal-Mart’s e-commerce growth has slowed dramatically even as it escalates investment there. Global e-commerce sales growth slowed to 7 percent during the first quarter, a notable downturn from nearly 30 percent two years ago.

“Domestically, Wal-Mart’s challenge remains unchanged as it attempts to adapt to a changing retail environment in which stores are only ‘part’ of the environment and not ‘only’ the environment,” wrote Credit Suisse analyst Michael Exstein.

Still, Wall Street appears optimistic.

Wal-Mart shares are up 16 percent this year, while the Standard & Poor’s index for multiline retail is up only 2.5 percent.

Invest in you if trying to graduate college

Dear Dave: I’m 19 years old, and I’m putting myself through college debtfree. I usually work part time during the semesters, but right now I’m working full time. I have about $2,000 in mutual funds, and I was wondering if I should add my full-time work income to that or save it all to help pay for school. – Chandler Dear Chandler: Wow! Great job, man!

I appreciate that you’re looking toward the future with your investment, but right now I want you to invest in you. I want you to make sure, first and foremost, that you graduate college debt-free. So, if I’m in your shoes, I’m piling up the cash to pay for school.

You’re in a season of your life where things are more hectic than you probably ever dreamed they could be. My advice is to keep that money liquid. Keep it available and on hand, and don’t tie it up in mutual funds at the moment. You’ll have plenty of time to continue investing once you

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey graduate.

It’s best for you to concentrate on finishing school, then landing a job and finding a place to live after college. Even if you end up living in the same place for a while, starting life in the real world takes money, so let’s make sure you can make that happen.

In other words, Chandler, as long as you do something with your education and that education is in an area that’s useable, you are a better investment than mutual funds right now!

Dear Dave: My son is going off to college soon, but he’s never had a job.

His uncle has offered him a really nice, low mileage used car for $3,000.

My husband doesn’t want us to give him money for the car, but I think this

deal is just too good to pass up. What do you think? – Tonya Dear Tonya: Unless there’s some sort of disability that’s prevented your son from working part time over the past few years, I’ve got to agree with your husband on this. Your son needs a car, but he also needs to get off his butt and work for it.

If you get this car for him, you’re just teaching him that mommy and uncle will take care of everything.

That’s not a good lesson for any child to learn, and it’s an especially bad thing for a teenager.

When you and your husband first started out in life, I’m guessing you didn’t start out rich. Am I right?

It’s not really the car deal that’s the problem here; it’s the lesson that will be learned. At his age, it’s silly for him not to want to work for a car, and you and your husband need to be up in his face about that. Then, if he chooses not to work for a car, he can walk. He

shouldn’t be rewarded for showing no desire to go earn things and make stuff happen.

When my son was around that age and wanting a car, he was working his tail off around my office packing boxes and painting stairwells. That’s how you learn about the benefits of hard work. If you don’t teach your son how to work now, he’ll be living with you when he’s 30 years old and doing exactly what he’s doing now – which is nothing.

This automobile deal is a bad deal, because it doesn’t teach your son to work for it.

Gift of nude calendar causes hiccup at family dinner party Dear Abby: During a recent family dinner, my uncle presented an odd gift to everyone there. He’s in his mid-50s and involved in the community and government of a small town.

He and other “public figures” – most of them older – decided to publish a calendar. On each page there is a nude photo of an aging community luminary posing with strategically placed objects covering his/her “goods.” To say the least, the photos are not flattering, funny or particularly modest.

Not only did my uncle give one to every family member – including my 80-year-old grandparents – but he took pains to point out his photo.

The awkward silence that followed ruined an otherwise nice family dinner.

Did this gift cross the line? Is

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips there a rule of etiquette regarding risque pictures of oneself? And how do I make sure I never have to see any other family members in their birthday suits without my consent?

– Flabbergasted In The Heartland Dear “Flab”: Personally, I think the premise of the calendar is a hoot. While your uncle may have wanted to “shock” the family, I’m sure he didn’t intend to offend anyone. A movie was made a few years ago about a group of older women in an English village who did something similar to raise money for charity.

I’m sorry your family was offended, but I’m sure they’ll recover and so will you. In the future, don’t accept any gifts from this relative unless they have a warning label.

Dear Abby: My friend “Sara” invites herself and her two children over to play with mine from time to time. When it’s time to have a snack or eat, she and her kids make themselves at home – especially with the milk.

Abby, I work 70 hours a week. My children eat cereal often and love milk, but because of my schedule, I don’t get a chance to go grocery shopping as often as I should. (I am a single parent.) How do I politely tell my friend it’s fine to make herself at home, but getting both of her children refills of milk without asking me is taking it too far? She knows I

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

can afford it, but I’m uncomfortable asking because I don’t know how to draw the line. – Working Mom Out

West Dear Working Mom: I assume you

communicate with Sara outside of her drop-in visits to your home? The next time you talk, text or email her, explain you love her company and she’s always welcome, but because of your 70-hour work schedule you don’t get to the market as often as she does – so when she brings her kids, please also bring a quart of milk with her. To do that is stating the facts, it isn’t rude and it isn’t asking too much. If she’s your friend, and not a user, she will comply.

What to watch John Konstantaras for Shaw Media

Grant’s Jack Gorden (left) and Ramon Guardado pretend to fish as they wait for the rain to stop before their postponed Class 4A Huntley Sectional final against Huntley on Saturday.

Serious business takes back seat VIEWS Mike DeFabo HUNTLEY – As rain pelted the dugout Saturday at Huntley High School, Red Raiders shortstop Charlie Nugent took out a black sharpie and drew a tick-tac-toe board on an old baseball. He lobbed the ball across the rain-soaked diamond where water was puddling in the infield to the visiting Grant Bulldogs’ dugout.

The message was clear: Your move.

What ensued during the rain delay was a comical back and forth that morphed from a simple game of tic-tactoe to a pull-up competition (sort of) to a full-fledged game of charades. Sure, rain washed out the Class 4A Huntley Sectional championship game (it was rescheduled for 11 a.m. Monday), but there were fun and games to be had.

“During a rain delay, you’re sitting out there wanting to play baseball. You just want to have fun,” senior infielder Trevor Ranallo said. “The only way to have fun is to joke around, because every baseball player hates rain.”

After the game of tic-tac-toe (which Grant won with the solid strategy of placing an “X” right in the middle of the board), the Red Raiders sent senior

Huntley’s Jeff Heinrich hopped up to grab the beam across the dugout.

The Red Raiders counted out loud while he pumped out 14 pull-ups. Grant hoisted up one of its players and lifted him up and down while he pretended to do pull-ups. At one point he wasn’t even holding onto the bar.

Both teams cracked up.

“We had to give them props,” Heinrich said. “That was pretty good.”

The antics went back and forth with both teams trying to one up the each other. Huntley catcher Joe Rizzo tossed two batting helmets onto a bat so they looked like weights and pretended to do squats. The Bulldogs picked up a bat and reeled in a make-believe fish.

Finally, Heinrich draped a rake across his back and squatted down like a weight lifter. Nugent jumped in be-

hind with his hands under the rake to spot him. Another Red Raider hopped behind Nugent. Then another behind him. Soon a long line of Raiders were squatting up and down.

The charades were right in character for a loose Red Raiders team.

Last week when rain abruptly ended their game against Hononegah, they simulated the final out of their regional championship inside so they could still celebrate with a dog pile.

“I think that’s why we’re so successful, because of our chemistry,” Sibert said. “We all get along really well.”

On Monday, the tone will be a bit more serious when the Red Raiders take on Grant in the Huntley Sectional championship game. The winner will pack its bags and head to the Schaumburg Supersectional No. 2 at Boomers Stadium at 7:30 p.m. to face Mundelein.

“We’re definitely looking for a title,” Ranallo said. “Our first goal of the year was to play at home in the sectional, which we already accomplished. We started a new goal that said get back on a bus. That means go to the supersectional. We’ve been playing to those goals. We’ve been achieving them.”

Really?

ARCADIA, Calif. – Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux has entered an alcohol rehabilitation program in Utah but plans to return to ride Preakness winner Exaggerator in the Belmont Stakes next week.

The rider with a history of alcohol-related issues said in a statement issued Saturday by agent J.R. Pegram that “it was time to take a sober look at my life and take this step.”

According to Pegram, Desormeaux plans to be back riding Thursday in New York after his stay at Cirque Lodge in Sundance, Utah. Pegram said Desormeaux last rode May 28 at Santa Anita.

Last year, Desormeaux was fined $2,500 by track stewards for being under the influence of alcohol during a race program at Del Mar. He also has failed breathalyzer tests at several other tracks.

accomplishment, and I’m just really proud of everyone, and to get fourth, it’s still great,” Jakubowski said. “I wish I could have got those two PKs back, but you know, sometimes that’s how it goes.”

This season, the Red Raiders won three 0-0 matches that went to penalties. It was experience coach Kris Grabner cited before the state tournament as something that could come in handy, but the Red Raiders’ luck ran out Saturday.

When the scoreless match went to a shootout, Huntley senior Brianna Wilder missed the first penalty wide, but misses by the Rams’ second and third shooters, along with makes by Alyssa Kaufman and Ally Sunter, put the Red Raiders ahead through three rounds.

Emily Lopez made her kick in the fourth round to set up Jakubowski with

Glenbard East’s Katie Hansen and Huntley’s Morgan Ceh converted in the sixth round. Amy Chiero started the seventh round with a make for Glenbard East before Tayah Owen’s penalty hit the crossbar, stayed out and Glenbard East celebrated.

“I told Taryn after, I said I really feel like everything happens for a reason, and she has so many bigger games than this one ahead of her,” Grabner said.

“Sometimes we have to have something like that happen to us to just make us stronger.

“You look at where she can improve in the game, and there aren’t a whole lot of areas that she can just make these massive improvements, so sometimes things happen, and I think she’ll be a lot stronger because of it.”

NAPERVILLE – Taryn Jakubowski felt like she had the perfect chance for redemption. After missing a potential go-ahead penalty kick late in the second half of Saturday’s Class 3A thirdplace match, the senior ended up standing over another crucial penalty in a decisive shootout.

As the fifth shooter, Jakubowski – a senior captain with 30 goals on the year, 11 of them game-winners – had the chance to win the match from the spot where she had missed earlier.

But Jakubowski’s low shot to her right was saved by Glenbard East’s Sierra Dana, and two rounds later the match was over.

“I was thinking about switching my place because I don’t usually ever change my spot,” Jakubowski said. “I thought if I could just place it in a cor-

Join us for Most Valuable Athletes award show BOYS LACROSSE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Tommy Martin, Cary-Grove Collin Fischer, Huntley Zack Starks, Prairie Ridge

VIEWS Jon Styf On Thursday morning, we rehearsed, went over the details and made sure Joe Stevenson and Mike DeFabo had their wardrobes coordinated for Tuesday night’s Most Valuable Athletes award show at the Woodstock Opera House.

We’re excited about it, if you can’t tell.

And we’re excited that almost all of the athletes, coaches and school representatives invited to the event will attend.

Our goal is to run an entertaining program that celebrates the year in high school sports and highlights the best of what happened.

It’s OK to disagree with our picks – we’re certainly not perfect, and not everyone will agree on anything.

But the goal is to highlight as many of the great performances from this year as possible.

That’s why we invited the top three athletes (again, our judgment) from each spring sport and plan on handing an MVA medal (actually, placing it over his or her neck) to the winner of each category, along with the winners from the fall and winter seasons, each of our athletes of the month, and we’ll finish the night with our athletes of the year, presented by Dr. Steven M. Rochell, M.D. We can’t thank our sponsors enough for making this night a reality, starting with our presenting sponsor, Buffalo Wild Wings, which also sponsors the Athlete of the Month and Athlete of the Week program throughout the year, as well as our Athletes of the Year in print. The other major sponsors are: Gary Lang Auto Group, Centegra Health System and BMO Harris Bank.

thought the bounce-back was good.”

Each team had chances in regulation, but neither dominated the match. Huntley had the best opportunity to take the lead in the 68th minute when Jakubowski dribbled into the box and drew a penalty. She stepped up to take it herself and went right. The keeper guessed the wrong direction, but the shot went off the outside of the post and stayed out.

Huntley senior goalkeeper Paige Renkosik made two key saves in the final five minutes to keep the match scoreless.

When it ended, 0-0, there was no

overtime, instead going straight to the decisive penalties.

“We’re all still so proud of each other,” Jakubowski said. “We even talked about it today that, you know, thinking about our first day of practice, did we think that we were going to make it downstate? You always think that you want to be there, but to get to this point is just such a great accomplishment.

“I’m sad that I have to leave everyone, but I know that all the people going in next year are going to do just fine and I’m going to miss everyone.”

Huntley’s 12 seniors have been

through a lot. Some were there for the program’s first supersectional appearance, and now they leave after the first trip to state.

“I definitely think it was nice to have 12 seniors because then the younger players have 12 people to look up to,” Renkosik said. “That gave us a lot of experience, too, which led to coming here because a lot of people knew what it was like to play in the playoffs and stuff like that and have that energy.

“Our accomplishments speak for ourself this year. I think that really leaves us off on a good note.”

and worked on running and blocking lower this offseason. “I mean, we’ll still balance each other out.

“There’s no exact same type of running back. I still think I’ve got wiggles. I think I can make a dude miss in the open field, stuff like that, that I still haven’t shown.”

He didn’t get much of a chance. As a rookie, Carey carried only eight times for 28 yards in the final eight games of 2014. He didn’t touch the ball in the Bears’ first seven games under coach John Fox, either. Inactive in three of the first four games last season, his career seemed to be in jeopardy.

But when Matt Forte got hurt, he was the surprise starter in the eighth game, carrying seven times for 28 yards against the Chargers. He had seven or more carries in four games last season.

Carey played 64 special-teams snaps, too, and said he finally feels comfortable there after being puzzled as a rookie.

He’ll need that skill to beat out specialists Senorise Perry and Jacquizz Rodgers for a roster spot, although the Bears conceivably could keep two of the three.

“Now I know what they’re talking about,” Carey said. “For two years, I’m like, ‘What is going on?’ But now I’ve

gotten to go out there and play and get a good feel for it, so I’m actually enjoying [it] and cannot wait to go out there and earn some spots on special teams.”

Fox admires Carey’s approach. At the NFL Scouting Combine, of all places, Fox argued Carey was proof there was more to the game than measurables.

“Sometimes a lot gets put into height, weight, speed, 40, and a lot of times it’s hard to measure what’s behind that left nipple and between your ears,” Fox said of Carey, who ran a 4.70-second 40-yard dash at the combine. “I think he’s a guy that, after contact, is pretty special.”

Tight end Zach Miller joked he knows when Carey is in the game.

“I’ve got to watch out, specifically so he doesn’t run right up the back of you,” Miller said. “Because that guy runs with his head down and delivers a blow.”

Carey will spend the next three months fighting for the opportunity to do just that.

“When I have the football, I don’t feel like anybody can tackle me,” he said.

“You’ve just gotta think that every play when you have the ball, nobody can tackle you. I don’t care if they get you in the backfield. You better fight to get to the line of scrimmage.”

Last year, after the Bears drafted a running back to challenge for his job, Ka’Deem Carey started an NFL game for the first time, scored his first touchdown and finally figured out the subtleties of special teams.

Last month, Carey saw the Bears draft another running back.

“You’ve just gotta get better,” he said.

“You’ve just gotta keep working.”

Carey is as motivated by the Bears having drafted Indiana’s Jordan Howard in the fifth round as he was when they selected Michigan State’s Jeremy Langford in the fourth round in 2015.

This time, however, he’s not as perplexed.

“The first time it happened, I didn’t understand what was going on – what they saw, how does this work and why,” he said. “Now I know how it works.

“I can sit down and swallow that and go out here and help this younger dude to become the back he wants to be. And by helping him, it makes me a better back because I just learn so much more.”

Where that leaves Carey – amazingly, the Bears’ longest-tenured running back

– is a different question.

Langford appears to be the likely starter, although Carey has impressed his coaches with his rushing during organized team activities at Halas Hall. “[Carey] is an example of playing with a passion, carrying the flag of the culture of the organization, playing reckless, hard and never taking for granted Ka’Deem Carey the opportunity that he has on a daily basis,” running backs coach Stan Drayton said. “He’s that guy.”

The Bears maintain their rotation will highlight each player’s strengths, but Howard – who is 20 pounds heavier than the 210-pound Carey – seems to have replaced him as the team’s bruiser.

The Bears need someone who can “wear a defense down,” said Drayton, who hinted Howard might take on more responsibility as needed.

Carey, however, sees a place for both of them.

“He still has different things that I can do that he can’t, and he can do things that I can’t,” said Carey, who cut his body fat from 6 percent to 3 percent

Ali: The Greatest in and out of ring

Muhammad Ali shuffled into the room, looked around and headed in my direction.

This was in the early 1990s, not long after the effects of Parkinson’s disease had tightened its grip on The Greatest.

It was the first time I had seen the slow gait, the blank face and the uncontrollable shaking in person. He was making a charity appearance at a hospital, and the room was filled with people not at all sure what the disease had done to the champ.

And now Ali was saying something to me, almost in a whisper. I leaned toward him.

“John Travolta,” he said.

I smiled the smile of someone who doesn’t know what the heck the other person is talking about.

“He thinks you look like John Travolta,” his assistant said.

And the crowd roared.

Ali started doing magic tricks, rudimentary ones, and a roomful of adults suddenly was little-kid joyous.

It didn’t take long to figure out that the show was not in the man who had been reduced to slow movements and slurred speech. It was in the faces of all the people watching him.

The way, really, it had always been.

Ali died Friday night at 74, and it is not overstatement or sportswriter hyperbole to say that the world has stopped what it was doing to remember.

Here was a fighter who had come in peace, and of all the things he was in his life, that should be the lasting memory.

He made everybody feel better – not early on, but eventually. In the end, he won people over by unanimous decision.

He was a rapper before there was rap, a protesting athlete before anyone had raised a gloved fist and a trash talker before we knew what trash was.

America, especially lighter-pigmented America, had never seen anything like him.

“I’m bad!” he said before his 1974 fight against George Foreman in Zaire.

“Been choppin’ trees. I done somethin’ new for this fight. I done wrassled with an alligator. That’s right. I have wrassled with an alligator. I done tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning, throwed thunder in jail.

That’s bad. Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I’m so mean, I make medicine sick.”

My God, the Rumble in the Jungle.

Foreman throwing anvils masquerading as fists, many landing, and Ali talking and shaking his head to inform his opponent that, no, whatever you’re trying to do isn’t working. Not stick-

ing a rose in a tank but sticking out a tongue at it. Such audaciousness.

He knocked out the previously undefeated Foreman in the eighth round but took many punches in the process. Same with the Thrilla in Manila against Joe Frazier a year later, a savage fight Ali won by technical knockout in the 14th round. It was his gift and his downfall: He had an iron chin and could survive brutal beatings. But it was simple math. Too many punches equals brain damage. Parkinson’s was the result.

In Chicago, we remember him a little more personally as the man who moved to the South Side after converting to Islam in the mid-1960s and losing his heavyweight title belt for refusing to fight in Vietnam.

“I am America,” he once said. “I am the part you won’t recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.”

Even for white America, he was a magnet. Some loved being drawn to him, many were scared to death of him, but all were pulled in his direction.

He went to hell and back, from hatred over being refused service at a whites-only Louisville diner after winning an Olympic medal in 1960 to a man seeking racial peace. From boxer to humanitarian. That’s his legacy: The man standing over a prone Sonny Liston in 1964, armed cocked, mouth open in a taunt in that forever photo will be remembered as much for other things as he was for his ability to snap off quick punches.

The day he entertained people at that hospital in the early ’90s was like a lot of other days as he fought Parkinson’s and made friends with it. He wanted to bring happiness to people. It was really that simple. And when he lit the Olympic flame in Atlanta in 1996 with a shaky arm, he did. In that stadium, on that night, the world saw what was possible through him.

“I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion,’ ” he once said.

The suffering didn’t stop, but neither did the champion.

REMEMBERING MUHAMMAD ALI

SPORTS | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

‘‘ ‘‘ ‘‘ ‘‘ ‘‘ ‘‘

Quotes from around the world after the death Friday of three-time heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali:

He was a natural force. His radiance came from inside. You got the feeling of inner excellence, he felt from himself. It came from him. As he developed as a great champion, it was apparent that this was a God-given quality I never doubted.”

He’s the most transforming figure of my time, certainly. He did more to change race relations and the views of people than even Martin Luther King. It was a privilege and an honor for me to know him and associate with him.”

Bob Arum, who promoted 26 of Ali’s fights

The world has lost a great Champion. Muhammad Ali, lover of human beings, a warrior for the fight against discrimination ... a great friend.”

• Sunday, June 5, 2016

Ferdie Pacheco, Ali’s longtime doctor and corner man

Spray flies from the head of challenger Joe Frazier as heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali connects with a right in the ninth round of their title fight Oct. 1, 1975, in Manila, Philippines.

When an icon like Muhammad Ali passes away, it’s very emotional. It’s also gratifying to know that a guy, one man, would sacrifice so much in his individual life knowing that it would better the next generation of men and women after him. Today I can go to China and all over the world, and people know my name and know my face. I give all credit to Muhammad Ali because he was the first icon. He is the GOAT. He’s the greatest of all time, and it has zero to do with his accomplishments inside the ring.”

LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers star

Tweet by football great Jim Brown

Today we bow our heads at the loss of a man who did so much for America. Tomorrow, we will raise our heads again remembering that his bravery, his outspokenness, and his sacrifice for the sake of his community and country lives on in the best part of each of us.”

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, basketball great

The sporting universe has just suffered a big loss.

Muhammad Ali was my friend, my idol, my hero.

We spent many moments together and always kept a good connection throughout the years. The sadness is overwhelming. I wish him peace with God. And I send love and strength to his family.”

Pele, soccer great, on Twitter and Instagram

Pele embraces Muhammad Ali during a ceremony honoring the Brazilian soccer star of the New York Cosmos on Oct. 1, 1977, at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

10 WHITE SOX

Sox hope for boost out of Shields Pitcher Johnson, prospect Tatis go to Padres in deal

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

DETROIT -- The White Sox bolstered their pitching staff Saturday by acquiring veteran right-hander and former All-Star James Shields from the San Diego Padres in exchange for righthander Erik Johnson and 17-year-old infield prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. For a beat-up team holding firm to the belief it’s a contender in the American League Central despite losing nine of its past 11 games, 17 of the past 23 and a 3-11 record against division foes not named the lowly Minnesota Twins, it was a welcome shot in the arm. These Sox need something – anything – to prop themselves back up after seeing a 23-10 start dwindle into 29-27.

“It’s a good pickup,” third baseman Todd Frazier said after the Sox – with ace Chris Sale pitching – lost to the Detroit Tigers, 7-4, to fall to 2-6 on their current road trip. “For one, he is back in [familiar territory in the] American League, and two, it gives him a boost

The White Sox on Saturday traded for former San Diego Padres starting pitcher James Shields. He is 2-7 with a 4.28 ERA this season but had a 3.06 ERA over his first 10 starts. to push on and help us in this division.

I can’t wait to see what he has in store.

I’m sure he’s fired up to play for a contender.’’

With the Padres willing to eat $29 million of the $56 remaining on Shields’ contract, which calls for annual salaries of $21 million through 2018, the Sox were all in on landing an innings eater with plenty of postseason experience.

The Sox will pay $27 million, including $5 million this season, $10 million in

2017 and $10 million in 2018 if Shields doesn’t exercise opt-out clauses after the 2016 season.

“We believe this move makes the entire pitching staff stronger, and the club benefits in terms of pitching depth and quality,” general manager Rick Hahn said. “He has proven to be one of the most dependable and durable pitchers in the major leagues over his career.”

Hahn knows the Sox need to shore up the offense, bullpen and bench as

well but “felt it was important to move early” on landing Shields, who is 2-7 with a 4.28 ERA this season, a figure that jumped by more than a full run after his last outing in which he allowed 10 runs against the Seattle Mariners.

Hahn was more enamored with the 3.06 ERA posted over his first 10 starts.

His addition to a rotation that includes Sale (9-2, 2.54), Jose Quintana (5-5, 2.13) and Carlos Rodon (2-5, 4.41) and righthanders Mat Latos (6-1, 4.02) and Miguel Gonzalez (0-1, 4.09) could mean a move to the bullpen for Gonzalez.

Shields has made 30 or more starts and pitched 200 or more innings in each of his past nine seasons. He owns a career ERA of 3.76. He was scheduled to pitch for the Padres on Sunday and when he pitches and how it affects the rotation was being discussed Saturday night.

Johnson, 26, is 2-1 with a 2.94 ERA over eight starts at Triple-A Charlotte, where he was the International League Pitcher of the Year in 2015. He was 0-2 with a 6.94 ERA in two starts with the Sox this season.

Tatis was signed as an international free agent for $700,000 in 2015. He is the son of former major league third baseman Fernando Tatis Sr. The Sox saved $13 million in salary when Adam LaRoche retired, and Hahn said there is still money to spend to improve the roster.

TIGERS 7, WHITE SOX 4

Sale: ‘How can you not be frustrated?’

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

DETROIT – Frustration is beginning to surface for Chris Sale, staff ace and team leader.

“How can you not be frustrated?”

Sale said after allowing four runs over 61/3 innings in another White Sox loss, a 7-4 decision to the Detroit Tigers and previously winless right-hander Mike Pelfrey (1-5). “We are not winning. We are not playing well. We are losing.”

Yes they are. The Sox are even losing in games that supposedly match up well for them. They lost for the fifth straight time when Sale or Jose Quintana, their other All-Star candidate, start.

Sale’s answers about his performance, not his best with a season-low two strikeouts and after the Tigers got him for a run in the first and two more in the sixth on J.D. Martinez’s two-run homer.

“I was fine. Just a little erratic with my command. Just not good enough,” he said.

Sale (9-2) usually takes it all on himself, even when he doesn’t deserve that.

But he knows everyone in the Sox’s clubhouse needs to be better. This was their 17th loss in 23 games since that 2310 start.

“You can’t really pinpoint,” Sale said.

“I don’t know what it is, or how we do it.

We better find it.

“We need to start doing something.

Just playing better all around. We need more. We have to stop losing games. It’s plain and simple. You come in every day, you play. You either win or lose, there’s no middle ground, and we need to start being a little bit more in the left column.”

Todd Frazier got caught in a rundown between first and second, helping Pelfrey escape with a one-run inning after the first three Sox singled. Matt Al-

bers misplayed a squeeze bunt into an error, and the Sox mustered only two hits against Pelfrey after the first.

“You can’t win the game getting two runs in eight innings and fighting back every time,” Frazier said. “As hitters, we have to have that step-on-your-throat mentality after you get up 2-1. Nobody’s going to win getting two runs.”

The Sox will try to salvage a win in Sunday’s series finale with Quintana facing Justin Verlander. Two straight wins against the Mets, including the Albers game, seemed to provide a boost, but they regressed again getting pounded 10-3 on Friday, then losing with Sale.

Note: Left fielder Jason Coats left the game after colliding with center fielder J.B. Shuck near the left-center field warning track. Coats, making his major league debut after being called up from Triple-A Charlotte earlier Saturday, caught Miguel Cabrera’s fly just before ramming hard into Shuck.

CUBS NOTES

Leg cramp from last start no issue for Hammel

By DAVID JUST

For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Jason Hammel pitched only two innings in his start Monday, exiting after feeling a cramp in his right hamstring.

The cramp was long forgotten when Hammel returned to the mound in his regular rotation spot Saturday. He tossed a gem in a 5-3 victory over the Diamondbacks, Jason Hammel allowing two runs on one hit and two walks over seven innings.

Hammel was more concerned about the rainy weather pregame than he was about his leg.

“During my warm-up pitches for the first inning, I almost launched two to the backstop because it was coming down pretty good,” he said. “I tried to stay with it and command the ball in the strike zone and hoped the rain would calm down. I ended up finding a

pretty good rhythm.”

Hammel, who entered the game with the fifth-best ERA in the majors, gave up a two-out walk and a home run to Jake Lamb in the first inning. He allowed only one other batter to reach base – a walk to Brandon Drury in the third – and lowered his ERA to 2.14.

Maddon reflects on Ali: Cubs manager Joe Maddon never had the pleasure of meeting Muhammad Ali, but he got to see The Greatest spar in his hometown of Hazleton, Pennsylvania.

Ali, Maddon said, used to spend a great deal of time at his training center in nearby Deer Lake. And one night, when Maddon was still a teenager, he saw Ali spar at Harman-Geist Stadium in Hazleton.

“I think it was prior to the (George) Foreman fight,” Maddon said, trying to recall the details of the bout. “I got to see him do a sparring routine in the center of Geist Stadium in Hazleton.

He used to frequent my hometown because of the location and the people.”

Ali died Friday night in a Phoenix-area hospital.

“I don’t think there’s ever going to be a boxer that provides that kind of entertainment, that kind of interest, that kind of charisma and everything else he had going on,” Maddon said. “I feel fortunate in some bizarre way to have rubbed elbows with him through common friends.”

Cubs fashion update: The Cubs arrived in the clubhouse Saturday to find NBA-style track suits in their lockers.

The NBA-inspired fashion will be the required dress for the next road trip, which takes the Cubs to Philadelphia on Monday.

Each jacket featured a nickname on the back. Manager Joe Maddon’s top simply read “JOEY,” but several players had far more creative nicknames.

Justin Grimm’s read “REAPER,” and Matt Szczur’s read “SZCZ-URRRRR.” Maddon said the idea for this theme trip came from starting pitcher Jon Lester.

“It’s the Jon Lester tribute to the NBA Finals road trip,” Maddon said.

“I intend to wear mine as often as weather permits.”

CHICAGO – Even the best team in baseball catches a lucky break now and again.

As if the Diamondbacks didn’t already have their hands full with the white-hot Cubs, a lucky hop on a ground ball from Jason Hammel proved to be the difference in the Cubs’ 5-3 victory Saturday at Wrigley Field.

With two outs in the fourth inning and the pitcher at the plate, Hammel hit a hard grounder back up the middle that second baseman Jean Segura seemed to have a bead on. But, thanks to a friendly bounce from The Friendly Confines, the ball bounced off second base and flew into right field, evading both middle infielders and scoring two runs.

“I’m glad second base is where second base is,” Hammel said, “because it helped, obviously. I don’t know if Segura makes that play up the middle. But obviously it helped us out.”

The two runs put the Cubs in front, and they stayed there the rest of the way.

The win was the Cubs’ 10th in their past 11 games. The Cubs are 8-1 on the current homestand and, at 39-15, are on

have notched two shutouts.

The Cubs’ well-rounded approach represents exactly the kind of baseball manager Joe Maddon hoped to get out of this team.

“I like the liberal arts approach to playing baseball,” Maddon said. “I really think that in our age of specialization, everybody worries about home runs and hitting. I think the more complete game is the kind of game that sustains itself for a longer period of time.”

Friday’s 6-0 win to open the series was the epitome of an all-around performance. The Cubs scored six runs, gave up none and committed no errors. Six of the nine starters got a hit, and the Cubs received strong performances from starter John Lackey and three relievers – Adam Warren, Pedro Strop and Justin Grimm.

When the Diamondbacks threatened late Saturday, the Cubs’ bullpen came through again.

Travis Wood came on with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth inning to face Rickie Weeks Jr. Weeks battled from 0-2 to bring the count full before lining out to Ben Zobrist at second base.

“At 3-2, bases loaded, you’ve got nowhere to go,” Wood said. “It’s either going to be his day or mine.”

Jerry West: LeBron critics ‘ridiculous’

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. – The Logo has no patience for critics of LeBron James.

Hall of Famer Jerry West mounted an impassioned defense of James on Saturday, saying those who criticize the Cleveland Cavaliers star’s 2-4 NBA Finals record are “ridiculous.”

On TV Sunday “If I were him, frankly, I’d NBA Finals: Game 2, probably want Cleveland at Golden to strangle you State, 7 p.m., ABC guys,” West told a group of media members. “It’s ridiculous.”

James has won four MVP awards and two titles and has long been considered the best basketball player in the world. If the Cavaliers lose again this year to the Golden State Warriors, he would be the fourth player in league history to lose in the finals five times.

“He’s carried teams on his shoulders,” said West, now an executive board member and consultant with the Warriors, who lead the rematch, 1-0, heading into Game 2 on Sunday.

“They’ve been to the Finals six straight times. How many times have they been the favorite? None. Zero. OK? Grossly unfair to him.

“I don’t want to sound like Donald Trump, but it’s hard for me to believe that someone doesn’t recognize his greatness. It’s hard for me to believe.

This guy does everything. He’s like a Swiss Army knife. He does everything.

And he’s competitive as [heck]. And frankly, I wish people would leave him alone.”

West has long admired James as a player and competitor and has spoken to him in the past about dealing with failure on the game’s biggest stage. West went 1-8 in the finals with the Los Angeles Lakers, a record he admits still burns him four decades after his playing career ended.

“No fun to get there that many times and not to get the results you want, regardless of how you played,” West said.

“In the playoffs, the best players are supposed to play better. I did. It made no difference. We weren’t good enough, obviously.”

West was the finals MVP in 1969, the only player to ever win that award as a member of the losing team. James received some consideration for that last season when he averaged 35.8 points,

13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists in a sixgame loss to the Warriors.

James was rereading West’s book “West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life” earlier in these playoffs.

“There’s no question he kept them in the series,” West said about last year when the Cavaliers lost Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love to injuries. “Now we’ll see what happens with a full complement of players. I think that’s what makes this more interesting than a year ago.”

West hasn’t been around the Warriors quite as much recently while he worked through some minor health issues, but he said he has thoroughly enjoyed working with a team that has risen to the top of the league.

“It’s a thrill to be involved,” the 78-year-old West said, “in particular at this point in my life, that they thought I had something that maybe I could contribute to them.”

He spent a little time on the practice court Saturday chatting with Warriors star Stephen Curry.

West always downplays his impact on the organization and is quick to dismiss any questions about advice or guidance he provides. But Curry and others say he has made a big difference.

“Just hearing him talk and the little things that he sees, especially from my game, you know, how to use leverage with your hands and use your body to create space, little things like that, that he was so good at, that’s invaluable advice,” Curry said.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Kuchar, McGirt, Woodland in 3-way tie at Memorial The ASSOCIATED PRESS DUBLIN, Ohio – Matt Kuchar finished the third round of the Memorial in a share of the lead, just how he started Saturday.

If only it were that simple.

Kuchar fell off the pace quickly at Muirfield Village, rallied on the back nine and regained the lead after a 21/2hour storm delay, then chopped the 18th hole for a bogey. It added up to a 2-under-par 70 for the 2013 winner and a share of the lead with William McGirt (64) and Gary Woodland (69).

They were at 14-under 202, and with the starting times moved up Sunday because of a forecast for more storms, this was far from settled.

Jason Day, the No. 1 player and Muirfield Village member who has never finished in the top 25 at the Memorial, ran off two quick birdies to get within one of the lead, only to watch a chip roll back past him into the fairway on the 18th hole for a double bogey and a 68. He was three shots behind.

Rory McIlroy was making headway until he dropped a shot at the last for a 70 that put him five back.

The other member of the modern Big Three never recovered from his mistakes. Jordan Spieth, after two quick birdies, went through a stretch of poor swings and missed putts, dropped four shots in a six-hole stretch. He had a 74 and was 10 behind.

Twenty players were separated by four shots going into the final round.

LPGA TOUR ShopRite LPGA Classic: At Galloway

Township, New Jersey, Karine Icher matched the Bay Course record with a 9-under 62 to take the second-round lead.

The 31-year-old French player, winless on the tour, had nine birdies in a 13-hole stretch in the round that started on No. 10 at Stockton Seaview. She tied the record on the Donald Ross-designed course set by Laura Davies in 2005 and matched by Jimin Kang that year and Jennifer Johnson in 2014.

Icher began the run on Nos. 14 and 15, added two more on 17 and 18, ran off four straight on 3-6 and reached 12 under on the eighth. She had only 23 putts in the lowest round of her LPGA Tour career.

Japan’s Haru Nomura, a two-time winner this year, and South Korea’s Na Yeon Choi were a stroke back at 11 under. Nomura had a 66, and Choi birdied five of the last eight in a 64. Defending champion Anna Nordqvist, tied for the first-round lead after a 64, had a 68 to drop to fourth at 10 under.

drade also tied the tournament record of 62 set by Kirk Triplett in 2012 at Glen Oaks.

Miguel Angel Jimenez (67) and Tom Lehman (68) were two strokes back, and Senior PGA winner Rocco Mediate (67) was 8 under along with Scott McCarron (68) and first-round leader John Inman (71).

John Daly, the senior newcomer who helped draw a record opening-round crowd on Friday, shot his second straight 74 to drop to 4 over.

Moines, Iowa, Billy Andrade broke the course record with a 9-under 63 for a share of the second-round lead with Joe Durant and Todd Hamilton.

Durant had a 65, and Hamilton shot a 67 to match Andrade at 10-under 134 at the Wakonda Club.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – The fans in San Jose waited 25 years for their first Stanley Cup Final. A few extra minutes for an overtime victory wouldn’t be a problem.

Joonas Donskoi scored 12:18 into overtime after Joel Ward tied it midway through the third period, and the Sharks bounced back from two straight road losses to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, 3-2, in Game 3 Saturday night.

“The atmosphere was incredible, right from warmups on,” Sharks captain Joe Thornton said. “The fans here are just amazing. They’ve been waiting 25 years for this chance, and they didn’t disappoint us.”

Justin Braun also scored and Martin Jones made 40 saves to help the Sharks cut Pittsburgh’s series lead to 2-1 with their first victory ever in the final.

Game 4 is Monday night in San Jose.

“He’s just a stud. Ever since he’s been here, he’s just so calm and so confident,” Thornton said about Jones: “You know every night he’s going to show up and shut the door for us.”

Ben Lovejoy scored and assisted on Patric Hornqvist’s goal that gave the Penguins a 2-1 lead heading into the third. But Matt Murray let Ward’s tying

he beat Murray high to the stick side, setting off a wild celebration in an arena that was full of tension all night.

Trailing, 2-1, entering the third, the Sharks’ season was on the line as only one team has ever recovered from an 0-3 deficit to win the Cup final. They got their chance when Nick Bonino was sent off for a double-minor for high-sticking Thornton.

San Jose generated good chances on the four-minute power play, but it seemed as if the Penguins would kill it off as the clock ran down. But just before Bonino stepped out of the box, Ward beat Murray with a blast from the high slot that deflected off the goalie’s glove and in for the equalizer.

Ward was one of San Jose’s key offseason additions for his playoff prowess and he scored two goals, including the series-winner in Game 6 of the conference final against St. Louis, and then perhaps an even bigger one here.

The first Stanley Cup Final game in the Bay Area came with plenty of fanfare with an elaborate pregame laser show and a raucous crowd that had waited 25 years for this moment.

The start didn’t go as planned as the Penguins struck first less than six minutes in when Lovejoy’s point shot deflected off defenseman Roman Polak and past Jones for a 1-0 lead.

Muguruza’s 1st Slam title denies Williams her 22nd Saturday in Paris

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

A look at Day 14 of the French Open on Saturday: Women’s singles final: No. 4 Garbine Muguruza of Spain beat No. 1 Serena Williams of the United States, 7-5, 6-4.

Men’s doubles final: No. 15 Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez of Spain beat Bob and Mike Bryan of the United States, 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-3.

Stat of the Day: 0-2, 21-0 – Since the start of the 2013 French Open, Williams’ records in Paris against Muguruza and against all other opponents in the tournament.

the big stage and ... clearly, she knows how to win Grand Slams.”

The fourth-seeded Muguruza used her big groundstrokes to keep No. 1 Williams off-balance and overcame signs of nerves in the form of nine double-faults. Most impressively, Mu-

guruza broke Williams four times, including three in a row.

“I can’t explain with words what this day means to me,” Muguruza said.

This was her second major final; she lost to Williams last year at Wimbledon. But Muguruza has won her past two matches against Williams on the clay of Roland Garros, including in the second round in 2014. So dating to the start of the 2013 French Open, Williams is 0-2 in Paris against Muguruza, 21-0 against everyone else.

“They key? I just have a very aggressive game,” said Muguruza, whose three career tournament titles are 67 fewer than Williams’ total. “I go for my shots with no regrets.”

For Williams, whose timing was not exactly right much of the afternoon, Saturday’s loss postponed her pursuit of Steffi Graf’s Open-era mark of 22 major singles championships.

PARIS – The day before the French Open final, Serena Williams’ coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, was discussing whether his player would need to lift her level to beat Garbine Muguruza and collect a record-equaling 22nd Grand Slam title.

“I don’t know why everybody’s so impressed with Garbine,” Mouratoglou said. “Did she win a Slam ever?”

His comment, accompanied by a chuckle, was intended in a lighthearted way. About 24 hours later, his question required a new answer.

Muguruza won her first major trophy and prevented Williams yet again from collecting No. 22, outplaying the defending champion in a 7-5, 6-4 victory Saturday at Roland Garros.

“She has a bright future, obviously,” said Williams, who at 34 is 12 years older than her Spanish opponent. “She knows how to play on

Another day at the office for an angel I wanted to buy Patty a little something to remember us by, but when I turned around, she was gone.

And I guess her sudden disappearance makes sense, because she came into our lives just as suddenly as she left.

It’s just the way angels do business, I guess.

We met Patty when my wife and I went to Countryside Nursery in Crystal Lake, which is my wife’s favorite place to shop in the springtime. (Our credit card company loves it, too.)

It was business as usual for us at the nursery, which means I was working up a lather trying to push my wife’s wheelchair with one hand over the gravel walkways, all the while hauling an overloaded plant wagon the size of a kitchen table behind me with the other hand.

Before her stroke six years ago, my wife did all the hauling herself, towing the overloaded cart over the gravel to the parking lot, loading the car, unloading it again at the house, and then hitting the garden with a manic troweling vengeance.

And I would sit in a lawn chair with a cold drink and a smile, because gardening was her gig – dirty fingernails, rosethorn scratches, sore muscles and all.

But then, when a devastating stroke robbed her of the ability to walk or use her right arm, everything changed.

Imagine being a musician who has gone deaf. Imagine being an artist who has gone blind. My wife – a master gardener who can’t dig in the earth – could tell you how that feels. (Well, she would have to tell you about it with her eyes, because the stroke robbed her of speech, too.)

And so, after her stroke, I became her gardening hands, arms, legs and back. My daily exercise routine wasn’t working out for me anyway, so I figured: “What the heck? How hard can gardening be?”

I lost 20 percent of my body weight before that first summer was over. Most of it is still gone, thanks to a steady routine of pushing a wheelchair with one hand and hauling an overloaded plant wagon

EnvironmentTip Too much of a good thing Did you know nutrient pollution is a major threat to water quality?

Excess nitrogen and phosphorus carried in runoff from farm fields, wastewater plants and urban areas can fuel algae blooms that decrease oxygen needed by

or grocery cart with the other.

That’s what we were doing when a sweet lady walked up to us at the nursery and said, “Here, let me pull that cart for you.”

I thanked her but waved her off. “I’m afraid we’re in it for the long haul,” I told her. “We just started shopping, and my wife is going to want to look at every plant in the place before we go. And half of them will be coming home with us.”

“No problem,” the lady said. “I’m finished with my shopping, and I’m in no hurry.”

I thanked her and asked her to haul the wagon up to the nearest paved walkway. She could leave it there and I could carry plants to it as I pushed the wheelchair up and down the gravel paths.

But she wouldn’t hear of it. She insisted on following us through the entire nursery, pulling the cart behind her for as long as it took.

It’s just the way angels do business, I guess.

We introduced ourselves, and off we went.

On each gravel path, my wife cried out with glee as she spotted a plant she wanted in her garden. There were roses, and alyssums, and Shasta daisies, and prairie clovers, and clematis, and even something called “sneeze weed” – as appealing a name to have in a garden as something called “barf swill” would be on the dinner table.

As I picked up each plant, Patty explained a bit about it before putting it on the cart. “This one is an annual,” she would say. Or: “This one is a perennial that needs shade.” Or: “This one grows taller than 4 feet high.”

She said it all with a cautionary tone, as if unsure how much we knew about gardening. And while her cautions would have made sense if I had been the one picking out the plants (since I can’t tell a weed from a watermelon), my wife waved her warnings off with a knowing smile as she picked out one after another.

“You’d have to see her gardens to understand,” I told Patty. “We don’t have a house with a garden, like normal people

aquatic plants and animals. In the Gulf of Mexico, nutrients washed down river have created a “dead zone” that stretches for thousands of square miles. At home, nutrient pollution also can lower property values, hinder recreation and degrade drinking water quality.

do. We have a garden with a house in the middle of it. Sun, shade, dry, wet – we have it all.”

Before long the cart was full, and Patty asked me what we should do. “Well, leave this one here and I’ll go get another cart,” I said. “You’ve been a big help. You don’t have to keep doing this.”

But Patty wouldn’t hear of it. She hauled the laden cart to the checkout counter and vowed to come back with another one.

While she was gone, I reminded my wife of the shipments of bulbs we were expecting to arrive any day now from the plant catalogs we had ordered from. She nodded and waved her hand toward the checkout line. It was time to call it a day – for now.

When we got to the checkout line, Patty was explaining to the clerk we would be there soon to pay. She turned to get another cart, and that’s when she saw us coming.

“All done for today, Patty,” I told her, and I thanked her for her kindness.

My wife thanked her silently, too. She reached up for a hug, and then she kissed Patty’s hand.

I was distracted by the clerk, who asked for our last name so she could look us up in her computer files.

And when I turned around, Patty was gone.

I was disappointed. I had wanted to buy her a little something to remember us by as a small token of thanks, but she had vanished as suddenly as she had appeared.

Just another day at the office for an angel, I guess.

She’s not the first angel we’ve met in the past six years. There have been others, though we haven’t always gotten their names.

But you know who you are.

And we thank you.

Finding roots in Romania

Unitarian choir to perform in historic churches of Transylvania region

By SAMANTHA MOORE smoore@shawmedia.com

TOP: Ken Johnson and the Adult Choir from Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation in McHenry perform “Walking in Memphis” on May 19 during a “tune-up tour” performance at Unitarian Universalist Church of Elgin. ABOVE: Ron Relic takes on the role of “Melvis Presley” during the performance. The hourlong concerts finish with a section on songs from the 1950s to 1970s. They also feature traditional Americana and religious music sections.

McHENRY – The Adult Choir of Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation in McHenry is going back to its roots.

With the help of a $3,000 Challenge Grant from the Unitarian Universalist Program and funds raised through its December Holiday Concert, the choir will travel to the Transylvania region of Romania from June 7-21. The area is known as the birthplace of Unitarianism in the mid-16th century, and the choir will perform four concerts in its historic churches.

“The goal of the trip is to create new partnerships with churches in Romania through music,” choir director Thomas Steffens said. “We’re going to meet new friends and create new relationships through the language of music.”

Members of the Adult Choir from Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation in McHenry sing May 19 during a “tune-up tour” performance at Unitarian Universalist Church of Elgin in Elgin. The choir has been rehearsing for months in preparation for its trip to Romania’s Transylvania region, where they will perform concerts at four historic Unitarian churches.

• CONCERTS

Continued from page 4 Although the Adult Choir has traveled locally in the past, this will be its first performance abroad. Of the 28 choir members, 22 will be making the trip. Steffens and the choir typically perform four concerts open to the public each year. The group’s past appearances include the Woodstock Area Community Ministry Concert, the Festival of the Voice at the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake and the Western Crescent Fire Festival at other Unitarian churches in northern Illinois.

In preparation for the Romania performances, the Adult Choir has completed numerous rehearsals as well as concerts in DeKalb, Elgin and McHenry to practice its one-hour set consisting of 15 songs.

Each concert will consist of three parts – one featuring traditional religious songs, the second featuring traditional American songs such as “Skip to my Lou” and “Cool Water,” and the third featuring songs from the 1950s to the 1970s.

Instead of solely performing traditional church music, the Adult Choir incorporates songs from other artists such as Elvis Presley. Through its unique song selections and performances, the group has grown close together.

George Kazlusky and the Adult Choir from Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation in McHenry perform “Stand By Me” during a “tune-up tour” performance at Unitarian Universalist Church of Elgin in Elgin.

“This choir is really a family,” Steffens said. “We work hard. They really want everything to be the best than they can.”

After 27 years as a member of the choir, Steffens noted a stylistic change among the group besides the change in choir membership.

“The choir has kind of evolved from a traditional church choir to something quite diverse,” Steffens said.

For Steffens, the four concerts in

Romania will be his last as a member of the Adult Choir. After these performances, Steffens plans to retire.

“I’ve been here so long and everybody has been so wonderful. It’s really hard to leave,” Steffens said. “I’m not tired of it, I’m just tired.”

Donations to help fund the Romania trip still can be made through the form of a check to the Adult Choir at Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation in McHenry.

Finding inspiration in unexpected places “John” was a multiple drug offender. He started using drugs and drinking by age 13 and had worked himself through most of the drugs of choice, including crack cocaine and opioid pain pills, by age 17. Now 25, he has been almost exclusively a heroin user since then.

John is a bright guy, and although he didn’t do well in school, he could have. He started various forms of drug treatment at age 15 and had been through several intensive outpatient programs by his junior year.

Things got worse at home. He became defiant, stopped going home, caused general uproars and ended up in a therapeutic boarding school in Utah for most of a year. He came home occasionally on passes and did well enough to get released. He was high in three days.

His habit drove him to get in numerous legal scrapes, including driving without a license, leaving the scene of an accident and fleeing and eluding the police.

He eventually was put on reporting probation that included random drug testing. He was unable to stay clean, and after the third or fourth dirty drug test, his probation was revised and he ended up in another rehabilitation program, this time for harder drug users and for a longer period.

He was discharged successfully after a six-month stay and given the opportunity to be in his county’s dug court program. During that time, he was charged with trespassing for breaking into his parents’ house to steal things to sell for heroin, continued to use heroin and tested positive on a number of drug

tests.

He knew his probation likely would be revoked and he would do jail time. His attitude, now hopeless and defeated, was “just give me my time.”

No amount of pleading with him by his lawyer or his parents would move him from this position. He went to jail. During his stay in the county lockup, he met a man who took an interest in him. He really wanted to understand John’s story.

This man had a pretty good understanding of the disease of addiction and could tell when the disease was running John’s show and when John was talking.

It was clear John, despite all his treatments, never really had understood the difference between the real him and his illness and neither had his parents and most of

This man knew the difference between inspiring someone to get well and focusing solely on bad behavior.

His saying was “inspiration not incarceration.”

Although John will suffer the consequences of his actions, disease or not, he now feels inspired to get well.

Gem Talk : June Birthstone - Pearl Keep your child safe.

60,000

More than young children end up in emergency rooms every year because they got into medicines while their parent or caregiver was not looking.

Always put every medicine and vitamin up and away every time you use it. Also, program your poison control center’s number in your phone: 800.222.1222.

To learn more, visit UpandAway.org

The pearl forms when an irritant, such as a small parasite or a grain of sand, lodges in the flesh of an oyster, mussel or clam. Because of this irritant, a substance called “nacre” starts to form around it. Over several years, the layers of nacre start to build up around the irritant creating a beautiful pearl.

Not all pearls are made in nature (called freshwater pearls), laboratories began a process of their own to make pearls by placing a piece of shell or bead in the clam to stimulate the production of nacre (called cultured pearls).

Natural pearls are found in the Persian Golf as well as in the waters off Japan, Australia, Panama, Venezuela and California. They come in a variety of colors including pure white, pink, yellow, gray and black.

They also come in many different shapes and sizes.

The pearl is the symbol of woman’s perfect beauty. It is believed that chronic headaches and migraines can be alleviated or completely cured by wearing a pearl necklace directly on the skin. Pearls also reduce allergies. A pearl necklace is believed to warn sensitive people of imminent disaster.

Psychologically, pearl promote wisdom and commitment well into old age. They are considered to be a symbol of purity and are often given to celebrate a marriage or the birth of a child. The pearl is the accepted gemstone for the 30th wedding anniversary.

June also has 2 alternative birthstones: the first is Moonstone. It varies in color from clear to blue-white or peach. It was considered by ancient civilizations to be a sacred stone, bestowing the wearer with great spiritual understanding. A gift of the stone is symbolic of health and longevity. The second is Alexandrite, a yellowish or brownish green color changing stone. It is symbolic of joy and good fortune.

Author Spotlight MICHAEL PENKAVA

Hometown: Crystal Lake Latest Book: “Doughnut Street School and the Mystery of the Doughnut Hole” Publisher: Virtualbookworm Publishing Release Date: April 1, 2016

How can we find your book?

Although it’s offered on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, the best source is virtualbookworm. com because I get the most royalties from there.

It also has found its way into the Crystal Lake Public Library and in downtown Crystal Lake at Marvin’s Toy Store and Buy Local Books. It also can be obtained in the Woodstock Square at Read Between the Lynes and hopefully soon in selected doughnut shops.

What’s it about?

Mr. Edwin Van Rink is a rotund, elderly fellow with a fondness for doughnuts, so much so that the children of the town affectionately call him “The Doughnut Man.” He has a secret plan to make the town world famous by building the world’s first giant doughnut-shaped Museum of Doughnut History. But, as events unfold, disaster strikes. Sprinkle in a curious brick with an X on it, a hidden tunnel and an ingenious teacher and his adventurous class, and you have all the ingredients to discover the “hole” truth behind the greatest doughnut mystery of all time.

Where did the idea come from?

In the thick of a 35-year career as an elementary school teacher, I had a fertile atmosphere to use my imagination intermingled with my copious and near-fictional experiences with my students. Mix that in with my love for my favorite snack, a doughnut with sprinkles on top, and out came a book.

What genre is your book and who is the intended audience?

This book is juvenile fiction, and the target audience is third grade through middle school, although it might appeal to an occasional adult enraptured by circular fried dough.

Why did you decide to write a book?

I dreamed of playing shortstop for the Chicago Cubs, but didn’t even make the cut in Little League.

So libraries became my Wrigley Field, and the books

became its players. Writing a book was the best way to get placed on a shelf between two real authors.

Kind of like sitting on the bench with Ernie Banks and Billy Williams.

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

I had a burst of energy during a winter break during a school year and knocked out the first draft. I let the dust settle and later revised it during spring break.

Then came the summer, and I decided to change a main part of the plot. Somehow killing off the main character in Chapter 1 wasn’t a good idea. That led me to a day off of school during Columbus Day in the fall to refine everything in an absolute flurry of editing.

It would appear this book was directed by vacations and produced by lost explorers.

What did you enjoy the most about writing this book?

I loved sharing my budding manuscript with my wife and my grandkids and laughing at the funny parts together. I also enjoyed doing literary research at Country Doughnuts.

Tell us about the illustrations.

A talented young artist named Leslie Guerra provided all of the artwork for the book. Her challenge was to place her illustrations at the beginning of the each chapter and create anticipation, but not to reveal too much of the story. Her front and back cover illustrations well complement the story and capture the reader’s attention. Leslie is available through me to other authors for consultation on future book projects.

What is your education/background?

Associate of Science, BS in Elementary Education, Masters in Curriculum and Instruction, advanced studies toward a Ph.D. I got the P and the h before I ran out of D (Dinero). Besides my teaching background, I hail from good ole’ Fox River Grove and have experience climbing ski jumps, storming castles and playing hockey on the Fox River.

Have you published anything else?

Various educational journal articles, 12 CDs of original children’s songs, 200-plus newspaper columns and a third-place winning poem in a local library competitive poetry contest.

What plans do you have to share your book?

In the fall I will be visiting local schools and presenting a writing workshop to promote authentic and empowered writing, plus share a few doughnut holes with miniature fellow authors. There’s a book-signing event from 10:30 a.m. to noon June 11 at Read Between the Lynes on the Woodstock Square, as well as some future appearances and writing presentations/ workshops TBA. What’s next for you?

I am hoping to get a fat tire bike to ride during the summer and want to really get involved with lawn and garden solar lighting. As for writing, I’m looking for a good topic for my next week’s “Just Humor Me” Northwest Herald column. I have completed a children’s picture book entitled “Oh, Come On!” and am waiting for the illustrations. In terms of another chapter book, I feel there is still an untapped writer’s market in the pastry fiction genre.

AUTHOR SIGNING WHAT: Michael Penkava will be signing copies of “Doughnut Street School and the Mystery of the Doughnut Hole” WHEN: 10:30 a.m. to noon June 11 WHERE: Read Between the Lynes, 111 E. Van Buren St., Woodstock INFO: www.readbetweenthelynes.com.

Overcoming ‘good little girl’ syndrome not for the weak They worried aloud about what would happen if they weren’t around to show her how to behave, to take care of her.

She learned she was incompetent, not polite enough, couldn’t take care of herself, needed a strong person to guide her through life, shield her from all the “badness” in the world.

She learned she couldn’t trust her judgment, that the most important thing in the world is other people’s happiness. And, that she is responsible for that.

As a therapist, I meet a version of her almost every day, though she is not always a woman. Sometimes my client is “a perfect gentleman.” In any case, they are trying very, very hard to get better so they can correct the flaws that keeps them from being happy.

Almost always, she suffers from colitis, migraines or other stress-related problems. She cries, hates herself and punishes herself in various ways for her failures. If I point this out to her, she beats herself up for not being better at therapy.

Gently and persistently, I try to shift the narrative. I try to direct the anger she turns against herself into the right direction. The first indication she is improving is when she tells me he doesn’t think therapy is doing her any good, and that she should stop wasting her money. Sometimes he wants to come in with her, so he can tell me what she’s “really” like, so I can fix her. I refer him to a colleague to work on his own issues, but he hardly ever goes. After all, they both agree she’s at fault.

Sometimes, she successfully ends the dysfunctional relationship, recognizes the pattern and starts looking for a new relationship with someone who will be different. Before she can get herself into another muddle, I suggest two things: one, that she date only herself until she gets to know who she is, and, two, that she get an emotional support animal – preferably a dog. I recommend a large dog with sharp teeth and a bad attitude to protect her until she learns how to protect herself.

We’ve all met one – the solicitous, caring woman who will do anything for you. She’s unselfish to a fault, the epitome of kind. But, we ask, what’s she doing with HIM? He is a jerk. He lies to her, controls her, makes unreasonable demands of her – and we see him out with other women. She loves him unconditionally.

Eventually, he finds someone even more malleable and dumps her. She is devastated. “What did I do wrong?” she asks us. “Nothing,” we assure her.

“He’s the one at fault.’ She refuses to accept that. She’s sure she has some fatal flaw.

Eventually, after waiting forlornly for him to call – which he does occasionally, to tell her he can’t pay the child support this month, or he “forgot” to pay her health insurance – something he promised in the divorced settlement – she finally takes her friends’ advice and ventures out into the dating scene again. She finds an attentive man. In fact, he is so attentive he calls her 15 times a day to ask, “Where are you? Who are you with?

What are you doing? How come you didn’t call me back? With your mother?

I think you care more about everybody else in the world than you do me!”

When they are together, he checks her cell phone and asks even more questions. He pressures her for sex. He proposes after three dates.

She tells us he’s so in love with her he’s threatened to kill himself if he can’t be with her. She doesn’t feel ready for a commitment, but he needs her, and, besides, it’s not like she has a lot of choices. (Because he’s always checking up on her? Because when she goes out with friends he sometimes shows up unannounced? Because he doesn’t approve of her friends, dislikes her brother, can’t get along with her mother and demands she be at his beck and call 24 hours a day?)

If she talks about her childhood, we discover she was always a “good little girl.” Her parents, especially her father, were strict. She was expected to get good grades, come home straight after school, help her mother, keep her room neat and clean, sit up straight and be a perfect lady. Only, she was never quite perfect enough.

Her father criticized her and demanded more. Her mother seemed never to be completely happy with her.

Molly Hillig Rodriguez

Questions? Visit www.mollyhillig.com.

Great Love Debate founder asks, ‘Why is everyone still single?’

I wanted to throw a shoutout to all my singles in the field. I get it – dating can be tough, and I wanted to investigate a question I asked myself in my dating era: Why am I still single?

I knew just the person to call – Brian Howie, relationship enthusiast and founder of the Great Love Debate – a unique, interactive town hall-style event where each city’s most dynamic voices, specialists and personalities join an excited, engaged audience to dish, discuss, dissect and debate the current state of the date. Howie will be bringing his seminar to Chicago every Wednesday from June 8 through July 27 at the Apollo Theater in Chicago. Find details and tickets at www.greatlovedebate. com. He also hosts a podcast by the same name, available on iTunes. After booking 200 global city tours, Howie has listened and related to the masses attracted to his epic event. This is what I found out talking with Howie.

“Technology can be a tool to find love, but too many time it’s a barrier to it.”

Yes, online dating may present some barriers, but it does not change the fact humans are social beings who desire love. We need to sit face-to-face with another human being to actually feel if there is a spark. It is easy to hide behind online profiles, judgments and fears.

However, online dating is just an additional tool to meet more people. Howie said, “Guys, you gotta take the risk and ask the gal out.” Yes, it’s true, men are more likely to reach out to a woman without a response. It is just a small barrier, not a statistic to pout about, so send 10 messages and expect to get a response from two or three.

Ladies, there are plenty of amazing guys online, so don’t fall victim to negative thinking. Try the approach of being open and curious to learn more about new people. The more you enjoy

yourself on a date, the more you will attract quality folks. If you are leading with a jaded heart, your path may not be a fulfilling one.

Technology is a tool for connection.

“Get your head out of your apps. The best dating site is Earth,” Howie said.

“There are plenty of amazing people out there to date and fall in love with.”

It is a bad lie that there are no good people remaining to date. There are plenty of wonderful humans in the world. Each one of us is unique, special and has a gift to share. When folks say “never, always, no one, no good, just not for me, I am a realist,” I am curious about the absolutes they have drawn.

Absolutes about other humans often result after someone has been hurt and wears the scar of pain.

When we think and believe there are no good people out there, it becomes our reality and we start chasing good people away. In fact, Howie said, “We named Chicago America’s best city for dating.”

Woohoo! Chicagoans are active, they participate in co-ed events, and midwesterners are friendly. Relish in the opportunity the Midwest has to offer.

In addition, there are about 50 million singles in the U.S. looking for love.

To put that into perspective, you could go on a date with a different person every day for 136 years. There is someone out there for you!

“Men are afraid of being rejected; women are afraid of being hurt.”

Fear, an underlying emotion we all experience in life, can be paralyzing and/or liberating. When we don’t recognize and acknowledge it, fear will drive the bus. It showed up in my last dating experience. I was terrified to let anyone get close to me, so I pushed them away.

It was a lonely place, and I had to learn to be with my fear.

background or city I talk to, the transcripts are the same – we need to step into confidence and take ownership of what we feel and experience,” Howie said. In love and dating, there is a risk of getting hurt. However, we get to decide to step into the fear and liberate what may be holding us back from love or stay paralyzed. Ultimately, the choice is ours.

“The one reason you are still single is because of you, no one else.”

Howie made clear, “Take ownership of your dating and status, and success will follow.” Back in my dating era, this was so hard for me to grasp. I had an excuse for everything and easily blamed other people. I’d say, “He is not loyal”; “I don’t have enough time to date”; or “I am just too focused on my career right now.” I ran the excuse/blame gamut so I did not have to look at why I still was single. The truth was I was the reason I was still single. “It is about you and not everyone else,” Howie said. That is what he has learned in his experience with love. It is what he has learned talking to thousands of people around

the world. You are the reason you are still single, and this can change.

“Your answers lie outside of your comfort zone. Your ‘yes’ lives in the land of ‘no.’ ”

Honestly, you may be rejected more than you are not. However, love and dating are about stretching ourselves.

When we feel challenged, it is an opportunity for us to step into a better version of us. If we pull back from a challenge, it is easy to remain stuck in our ways and render the same results. It is true, men most likely will need to reach out to women more often than women reach out to men. And dating is a numbers game. No need to dwell in the statistics – think of them as a home-field advantages. In love, you will stretch yourself, so practice in dating. Go out there and have some fun with the game.
