FOCUS ON THE PATIENTS Mercyhealth touts advantages of proposed microhospital in Crystal Lake

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

C

kcraver@shawmedia.com

RYSTAL LAKE – Mercyhealth doesn’t see its proposed 13-bed microhospital as an expansion so much as the meeting of several important community needs.

Patients in the Mercyhealth system, especially those in nearby clinics, will be able to stay within it for a number of surgical procedures. And a city the size of Crystal Lake will benefit from having a hospital with a 24-hour emergency room, said Jennifer Hall, vice president of government relations and community advocacy for the Janesville, Wisconsin-based health care company.

If state regulators approve, the small hospital will join last year’s additions of the new Centegra Hospital – Huntley and the major renovation and modernization of Advocate Good Shepherd Michelle Hospital in BarRentzsch, rington.

Mercyhealth “Our hope development is that the state director – as well as Centegra and Advocate – see that we’re focusing on our current patients in Crystal Lake and trying to bring a very simple solution for their continuation of care and provide an emergency room for people who may have limited access to other facilities,” Hall said.

Mercyhealth announced late last month that it submitted an application to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board to build the hospital at the corner of Three Oaks Road and Route 31, across from the Holiday

‘‘ “I think, as we said before, a hospital in Crystal Lake is a good thing.”

Inn – the same site where it sought to build a full hospital in 2003. A certificate of need from the review board is required for the construction or expansion of hospitals in Illinois. A hearing date with the review board has yet to be set.

Besides 13 beds and an emergency room, the microhospital would include two operating rooms and a clinic, into which Mercyhealth would move its four existing clinics in Crystal Lake and one in Lake in the Hills. Clinics

elsewhere in McHenry County would not be affected.

Mercyhealth projects that the $82 million hospital and $23 million clinic would create 150 new jobs, not counting the 500 construction and trade jobs to build the campus.

The concept of microhospitals is a relatively new one in medicine, but can generally be thought of as similar to a community or rural hospital, but smaller and located in more metropolitan areas, providing low-acuity, ambu-

latory and emergency care but leaving more complex care to larger facilities.

Hall said the application is the first of its kind in the state, to her knowledge, adding that Mercyhealth “has never shied away” from trying something new or cutting-edge.

“It’s our hope in providing this small, community hospital that patients will have access to the immediate care they need,” she said.

The situation lasted three hours, and the man was eventually taken to the hospital for an evaluation.

No charges were brought against Lorin Volberding after the incident, according to McHenry County court records. Both Elizabeth and Lorin Volberding were retired Chicago Police Department officers, according to law enforcement sources.

HUNTLEY

High school student who distributed racist material faces disciplinary action Support will be made available to students in the upcoming week NORTHWEST HERALD HUNTLEY – Support will be made available to students shaken from racist material a Huntley High School student distributed in school last week.

“This has obviously been upsetting to the entire school,” said Dan Armstrong, Consolidated School District 158 director of communication and public engagement. “Certainly there will be individual support available through our counselors. ... There will be a team getting together Monday to talk through what the most appropriate follow-ups will be throughout the week.”

A Huntley High School student faces disciplinary action after bringing racist material to school and sharing it with classmates and online, high school Principal Scott Rowe said in an email to parents.

“Today one of our students made a terrible decision to bring to school a pam-

phlet containing deplorable and racist content. This document has unfortunately been passed around both at school and online, sharing messages that are antithetical to the Raider Way,” Rowe said in the email.

The pamphlet, a copy of which was emailed to the Northwest Herald, is entitled “N..... Owner’s Manual” and contains dozens of uses of the racial slur and other offensive material.

“The administration worked quickly to identify the student and address the situation,” Rowe’s email continued. “It is unfortunate that these types of hurtful and ignorant messages can still be found anywhere in our society, and it is a shock to the system to see them appear here in our own school. But as much as we want to avert our eyes when we see things like this, we cannot do so. We must call them out for what they are – offensive and unacceptable – and we thank the students who brought this to the attention of the administration.”

Rowe said the pamphlet is not indicative of the high school’s culture, which he said is “a warm, welcoming community where everyone is valued.”

“We are committed to creating a safe

“This has obviously been upsetting to the entire school.”

Dan Armstrong

School District 158 director of communication and public engagement and inclusive environment for all students, both physically and emotionally,” he continued. “We encourage anyone with concerns about the culture at HHS to come to us any time to discuss them.”

Armstrong said Saturday that the district couldn’t legally discuss what disciplinary action had or hadn’t been taken with the student. He said that the priority moving forward is listening to student concerns and moving on from there.

“It was students that brought this to our attention in the first place,” he said. “I think that speaks well to the quality of the student body we have. They saw this and knew it was wrong. … We are proud of them for that and know this one incident doesn’t represent our schools. It’s very upsetting, but we will get together Monday and figure out the best way to move forward.”

CNBC’s ‘American Greed’ to feature Lt. Joe Gliniewicz case

Your Home and Your Future

jreiland@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – A national TV network will feature the case of disgraced Fox Lake Police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz.

The case will be featured on CNBC as a part of “American Greed,” a true crime series that examines the dark side of the American dream. The episode will air at 9 p.m.

Monday.

The show will explore what was first thought of as an officer killed in the line of duty while investigating three suspicious men. Detectives later concluded that Gliniewicz shot himself the morning of Sept.

1, 2015, because he was worried his illegal activities were going to be discovered.

The suicide was staged to look like a hoFox Lake micide, which initially resulted in a lengthy police Lt. Joe manhunt, a hero’s funeral and an investigaGliniewicz tion that garnered national attention.

Lake County Sheriff’s then-Detective Chris Covelli was one of the subjects interviewed for the episode. Covelli has since been promoted to sergeant.

Joe Gliniewicz’s wife, Melodie Gliniewicz, was indicted in 2016 after prosecutors said she played a role in laundering money and using more than $10,000 worth of charitable funds related to the village’s Police Explorers youth program. She has denied all charges. If convicted, Melodie Gliniewicz could face up to seven years in prison or probation.

She also filed for her husband’s pension a few months ago in hopes of receiving the money in a timely fashion in order to pay her and her children’s living expenses. The

SPRING GROVE – The McHenry County Coroner has identified a Spring Grove man killed in Friday night’s house fire.

Erik K. Whalen-Pedersen, age 61, of Spring Grove, showed signs of smoke and soot inhalation at the autopsy Saturday.

Carbon monoxide levels and other tests are pending, the coroner said.

Erik K. Whalen-Pedersen, 61, of Spring Grove was Salem, Wisconsin, assisted at the scene. found dead in the living room.

“[Josh Latina’s] a great guy, and I think that’s what makes him a great officer. ...

He’s a very caring, charismatic individual [who] is just there to always try to help.”

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Special Olympics Illinois hosts the Polar Plunge at 22 locations across the state where participants jump into cold winter waters to raise money for the cause.

While most people only hop in a lake one time, Algonquin Police Officer Josh Latina will be taking the plunge 24 times – once every hour – for the Super Polar Plunge in Evanston.

The event is held Feb. 17 through 18 at Clark Street Beach, and this year will be Latina’s eighth time participating, he said.

“I just keep going back because it’s a unique way to raise money for Special Olympics,” Latina, of Marengo, said.

Funds raised help provide year-round training for Special Olympic athletes without the financial burden falling on them or their parents, Latina said.

The hardest part of the plunge is jumping early in the morning, Latina said. Plungers bring partners to help keep them awake throughout the event, and one

Algonquin Police Officer Josh Latina is raising money to participate in his eighth Super Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics Illinois. year Algonquin Police Chief John Bucci came to be Latina’s support. “[Latina’s] a great guy, and I think that’s what makes him a great officer. ... He’s a very caring, charismatic individual [who] is just there to always try to help,” Bucci said.

Special Olympics is a cause that’s very important to the Algonquin Police Department, and other

law enforcement agencies across the country, Bucci said.

The largest fundraiser for Special Olympics Illinois is the Law Enforcement Torch Run, according to the organization’s website.

Bucci said Latina started participating in the Super Plunge when he was asked to fill the place of a former Algonquin police officer who used to do it.

“I couldn’t be more proud of [Latina] for everything he’s done for the program,” Bucci said.

Latina’s goal is to raise $3,000 for the cause, he said. Donations can be made by visiting his fundraising page at http://shawurl.com/301g.

“I love kids, and I think they’re God’s children, I really do,” Latina said. “They just make me so happy all the time, so I enjoy bringing awareness to Special Olympics – it’s a great organization.”

Businessman gets 6 years for selling synthetic marijuana Elgin man convicted of possession, selling controlled substance

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – An Algonquin businessman will serve prison time for the possession and selling of synthetic narcotics.

John G. Monteleone, 48, of the 100 block of Brookside Drive in Elgin, was sentenced Friday to six years in prison at the Illinois Department of Corrections, according to a news release from the Kane County State’s Attorney.

The man was convicted in November of unlawful possession of more than 200 grams of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class X felony; unlawful possession of more than 200 grams of a controlled substance, a Class 1 felony; unlawful delivery of less than 50 grams of a controlled sub-

stance, a Class 2 felony; and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class A misdemeanor, according to the state’s attorney.

Evidence presented John G. at trial suggested MonMonteleone teleone and his wife, Tracy Monteleone, 46, were in possession of the substance – a kind of synthetic marijuana commonly known as “spice.” John Monteleone also had between 2.5 and 10 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, according to a news release.

The North Central Narcotics Task Force and the Algonquin Police Department conducted a three-month investigation in 2013, and eventually seized nearly 200 grams of the synthetic drug from the couple’s tobacco shop – King Puff-N-Stuff, 1409 Commerce Drive, Algonquin. Authorities then went to the Monteleones’ home and found 3,200 grams of the same substance in Tracy

“For years we have seen the deadly consequences of synthetic drugs on our community and especially on the lives of young adults,” Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said.

“This defendant, who already was a convicted felon, chose to run a criminal enterprise instead of a legitimate business.

“Prison is the appropriate place for repeat felons, and this prosecution should send a message that we aggressively pursue all drug dealers.”

Program aimed at getting youth involved in community

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Leadership Greater McHenry County is launching a program aimed at engaging youth in the community.

The program, developed for McHenry County sophomores and juniors and high school, is an outgrowth of an already existing adult leadership program. Leadership Greater McHenry County selects 32 leaders from all sectors of the community for a 10-month program dedicated to educating and inspiring those involved to engage in community leadership.

Members from the Class of 2015 adult program identified a need for a program to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding youth need to become effective leaders and they designed the youth leadership pilot program. Participants will take part in a nine-month program that connects high school students to McHenry County and to develop their leadership skills.

The goal is to engage the participants

in the community before heading off to college in hopes that they will return after graduation to work and live in the community.

“When we raise children in a community, if we have not grounded them in what our community has to offer, they look beyond and leave the area,” said Marcy Piekos, executive director of Leadership Greater McHenry County.

Applications will be available in March and are due at the end of the month, Piekos said. Fifteen applicants will be chosen for the first year. Moving forward the program will accept two students from every school in the district, Piekos said. Applicants must complete an interview process, be McHenry County residents and must have at least a 2.5 grade-point average.

“We’re not necessarily looking for the highest performers, but those who really want to engage in learning about community leadership,” she said.

For information about the program, people are encouraged to contact Marcy Piekos at mpiekos@leadershipgmc.org or call 815-337-8750.

• Sunday, February 5, 2017

Mercyhealth has shown its proposal to Crystal Lake city staff, Planning and Economic Development Director Michelle Rentzsch said. It will go through the city’s planning and zoning process once it gets a certificate of need to build the hospital.

“I think, as we said before, a hospital in Crystal Lake is a good thing. It offers employment, and more options for people looking for health care. Overall, it’s positive news,” Rentzsch said.

The company will meet March 14 with the board of the McHenry County

Economic Development Corporation, President Pam Cumpata said. The corporation’s board will then decide whether or not to back Mercyhealth’s proposal and write a letter of support to state officials.

“From an economic development standpoint, any time there’s an investment in the county, that’s great,” Cumpata said.

Mercyhealth anticipates a late 2020 opening date should it get permission to build.

Centegra’s new 128-bed Huntley hospital opened in August, after a yearslong fight to get a certificate of need. Good Shepherd unveiled its $247 million modernization in May.

STATE

Rauner to push similar budget message The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner said his annual budget message this month will be similar to one he delivered last year, asking legislators to work with him on crafting a balanced spending plan or allowing him to make cuts of his own.

That’s what Rauner told the Chicago Tribune during a series of meetings with Illinois newspaper editorial boards this week. Rauner also re-emphasized his demand for “structural change” as part of budget negotiations.

“Either the General Assembly authorizes me to make cuts, not my first choice but I’ll do that, or let’s work together to do a balanced budget with cuts and, what I prefer is, a balance of cuts, some revenues and major structural change,” Rauner told the Tribune. “The real important thing is the structural change.”

The state has not had a full budget in nearly two years as a budget stalemate grinds on between Rauner and Democratic leaders in the Legislature.

House Democrats said Rauner’s reform proposals should be considered separately from budget talks, and rejected his two budget options last year.

Attorney general warns of immigration service fraud

CHICAGO – Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is warning immigrants to beware of scam artists taking advantage of confusion over President Donald Trump’s order temporarily halted the U.S. refugee program and banning all entries from seven Muslim-majority nations for 90 days.

She also warned immigrants to be wary of anyone demanding money and claiming to be a government official.

Madigan said the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services will never ask for payment over the phone.

A U.S. court order Friday blocked Trump’s ban.

But it wasn’t clear how that order

His agenda originally included changes to the state workers’ compensation system, union collective bargaining rights and public worker pensions. The governor also is seeking a property tax freeze, term limits for elected officials and a plan to rid much of the politics from every-decade redrawing of legislative district boundaries.

The Rockford Register Star reported that Rauner sounded optimistic in a meeting with its board, citing recent bipartisan Senate negotiations over a budget compromise.

Democratic Senate President John Cullerton and Senate Republican leader Christine Radogno have been working on a sweeping package of proposals to address some of Rauner’s agenda items. The ambitious package includes a state income tax increase and a dozen other measures.

“I think a deal is more likely to happen if it’s organic, coming from the rank-and-file members of the General Assembly, and the important thing is to get a good compromise,” Rauner said. “I’ve been very clear. I mean, the good news and bad news is nobody’s wondering what I think is the right

Probe opened in swastikas put on Chicago synagogue

CHICAGO – A hate crime investigation is underway in Chicago after someone smashed a window at a downtown synagogue and put stickers with swastikas on its front door.

A Chicago Police Department spokesman said Saturday that officers responded shortly after midnight to a call about vandals at the Chicago Loop Synagogue.

Officers found a window that had been shattered and what police described as “derogatory stickers” on the entrance.

The Chicago Sun-Times published photographs online that show investigators removing swastika stickers from the door.

GENEVA – A maintenance worker has been killed while working in a Geneva tower.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration spokesman Scott Allen said the worker was crushed in an aerial lift while working on a sign at Geneva Commons, a strip mall in Geneva.

Top cop: Minorities make up most job applicants

CHICAGO – Chicago’s police superintendent said most of the 16,500 applications submitted to become officers during a recent recruitment campaign were from minorities.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Eddie Johnson as saying he’s “ecstatic” that 35 percent of applicants are black and 33 percent Hispanic; 29 percent are white.

Hiring more minorities was among the city’s goals as it tried to mend relationships with different communities in the wake of high-profile shootings by officers. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has said boosting officer numbers also will help address spikes in gun violence.

Johnson said the numbers of applicants shows there are many people who want to be part of change in the department.

The two-month recruitment drive began in November. The Sun-Times reported that 970 of the applicants will eventually be hired.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS New Pentagon chief a hit in Japan, South Korea

TOKYO – In his debut abroad as the first retired general to lead the Pentagon in more than half a century, Jim Mattis found that in Japan and South Korea his experience in uniform is seen as an asset.

Not everyone who knows Mattis well in the U.S. shares that view, but he clearly was an instant hit in northeast Asia.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was effusive in his endorsement as the two shook hands Friday before a phalanx of Japanese and international news reporters and cameras.

“I was very encouraged,” Abe said, “to see someone like you who has substantial experience, both in the military and in security, defense and diplomacy, taking this office.”

Suspect shoots self; police recover baby in stolen car

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. – An attempt to stop a pickup truck with a loud exhaust system led to a wild chase in which the driver shot at a trooper, stole a car with a baby inside and eventually barricaded himself inside an apartment, where he shot and wounded himself, authorities said.

Only the pickup truck’s driver, Daniel TwoHearts, was hurt during the ordeal, which began Thursday night with the attempted traffic stop in Grand Forks and ended Friday night with TwoHearts shooting himself in an apartment in Devils Lake, about 80 miles west, authorities said.

TwoHearts, who shot himself as officers began to negotiate with him to surrender, was hospitalized with an apparently nonfatal wound, Devils Lake police Capt. John Barnett told the Devils Lake Journal.

U.S. suspends enforcement of travel ban, DOJ moves to appeal

By ERIC TUCKER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The government on Saturday suspended enforcement of President Donald Trump’s refugee and immigration ban and filed notice it would appeal a judge’s order, plunging the new administration into a crisis that has challenged Trump’s authority – and ability to fulfill campaign promises.

The stand-down, a day after a federal judge in Washington state temporarily blocked the ban, marked an extraordinary setback for the White House. Only a week ago, the president had acted to suspend America’s refugee program and halt immigration to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries that the government said raise terrorism concerns.

As the White House worked to reinstate the ban, Trump mocked U.S. District Judge James Robart, appointed by President George W. Bush, as a “so-called judge” whose “ridiculous” ruling “will be overturned.” He added in a subsequent tweet: “Because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. A terrible decision.”

Trump’s direct attack recalled his diatribes during the campaign against a federal judge of Mexican heritage who was overseeing a Trump University case. Justice Department lawyers could be called upon to answer for his words as the travel ban case reaches the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The order had caused unending confusion for many foreigners trying to reach the United States, prompted protests across the United States and led to multiple court challenges.

Demonstrations took place outside the White House, in New York and elsewhere. One was planned later Saturday near the estate in Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump was spending the weekend and where the American Red Cross scheduled its annual fundraising gala.

Robart’s ruling, which the White House said the Justice Department would challenge,

led federal agencies to unwind enforcement of Trump’s executive order. Justice filed notice Saturday it would appeal the ruling.

“We’ll win,” Trump told reporters Saturday night as he attended the annual gala of the American Red Cross at his private club. “For the safety of the country, we’ll win.”

The State Department, after initially saying that as many as 60,000 foreigners from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia or Yemen had their visas canceled, reversed course on Saturday and said they could travel to the U.S. if they had a valid visa.

The department on Saturday advised refugee aid agencies that refugees set to travel before Trump signed his order will now be allowed into the United States. A State Department official said in an email obtained by The Associated Press that the government was “focusing on booking refugee travel” through Feb. 17 and working to have arrivals resume as soon as Monday.

The Homeland Security Department no longer was directing airlines to prevent visa-holders affected by Trump’s order from boarding U.S.-bound planes. The agency said it had “suspended any and all actions” related to putting in place Trump’s order, which the White House argued was “intended to protect the homeland.”

The Justice Department was expected to ask the 9th Circuit to set side Robart’s ruling so the ban could go back into effect.

Trump made clear what he thought of Robart’s action.

“The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned,” Trump tweeted. “When a country is no longer able to say who can and who cannot come in & out, especially for reasons of safety & security - big trouble!”

After a pause of several hours, the president returned to Twitter: “What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.?”

Visa holders rush to board flights to U.S. amid reprieve

By TAMMY WEBBER The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Visa holders from seven majority-Muslim countries affected

by President Donald Trump’s travel ban hurried to board U.S.-bound flights Saturday, fearing they might have only a slim window through which to enter the country after a federal judge temporarily blocked the ban.

Those who could travel immediately were being urged to do so because of uncertainty over whether the Justice Department would be granted an emergency freeze of the order issued Friday by U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle. The government on Saturday suspended enforcement of the week-old ban as it scurried to appeal Robart’s order.

The Justice Department on Saturday night asked a federal appeals court to set aside a judge’s order that temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s travel ban. The Justice Department has alerted a court in Washington state that it is appealing the judge’s ruling from a day earlier.

The appeal was filed Saturday night with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The ruling from U.S. District Judge James Robart temporarily halted a

Trump administration executive order that suspended America’s refugee program and halted immigration to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries.

President Donald Trump has lashed out at Robart on Twitter, calling him a “so-called judge.”

Rula Aoun, director of the Arab American Civil Rights League in Dearborn, Michigan, said her group is advising people to hurry.

“We’re telling them to get on the quickest flight ASAP,” said Aoun, whose group filed a lawsuit Tuesday in federal court in Detroit asking a judge to declare Trump’s immigration order unconstitutional.

Aoun said some people have had to make hard choices, including a Yemeni family expected to arrive at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday from Egypt without two of their children. The father and two of the children are U.S. citizens, the mother has an immigrant visa, but the other two children did not yet have theirs and were left behind with relatives.

“They just don’t want to take a chance of waiting,” she said.

U.S. officials have said up to 60,000 foreigners had their visas “provision-

Confusion during the rollout of the ban initially found green card holders caught in travel limbo, until the White House on Wednesday clarified that they would be allowed to enter and leave the U.S. as they pleased.

Even so, green card holder Ammar Alnajjar, a 24-year-old Yemeni student at Southwest Tennessee Community

College, cut short a planned threemonth visit to his fiancée in Turkey, paying $1,000 to return immediately when the ban was lifted.

“I got to study. I got to do some work,” said Alnajjar, who arrived at JFK on Saturday. He said he fled civil war in Yemen and moved to the U.S. from Turkey in 2015. “I’m Muslim. I’m proud of it. Islam means peace.”

of lion claws and teeth in suitcases at the international airport in the capital, Maputo, according to media reports.

In January, poachers cut through fences at an animal park in neighboring South Africa’s Limpopo province and decapitated and chopped the paws off three male lions. Similar cases have been reported in recent weeks.

• Sunday, February 5, 2017

JOHANNESBURG – Wildlife traffickers in a major African park have been offering rewards for a full lion carcass, raising concerns that poachers are increasingly targeting a vulnerable species because of demand in some Asian countries for lion bones used in traditional medicine.

The report from Mozambique’s Niassa National Reserve comes amid debate about whether the legal, annual export of bones from hundreds of captive-bred lions in South Africa to China and Southeast Asia could spur the market, possibly leading to the illegal killing of wild lions for their bones as well. African lion bones are a relatively recent substitute in tonics for the bones of Asian tigers, whose numbers were depleted by poachers.

There have been “multiplying anecdotal reports of lions harvested for body parts” along with “increasing examples of whole skeletons being taken,” said Paul Funston, senior lion program director for the Panthera conservation group. He said he believes the phenomenon is linked to increased Chinese demand rather than the longtime use of lion parts in some traditional cultures

in Africa.

“It seems to start with teeth and claws, which probably mainly have trinket value, and migrates to bones and carcasses once a market is established,” Funston said.

Lions face other threats, including human encroachment on habitats and the poaching of antelopes and other animals for food, which deprives the predators of prey. The number of African lions in the wild has dropped by more than 40 percent to about 20,000 in the past two decades, according to estimates.

The Niassa wildlife park has at least a third of Mozambique’s population of 2,700 lions. Colleen Begg, a leader of a carnivore project there, said the local use of lion parts is not a major concern yet and that lion poachers appear to be catering to the Asian market.

“We have middlemen coming in and offering a motorbike or $1,500 for a full lion carcass. This started about 18 months ago and is a real worry as, through poison and snares, they are now directly targeting lions. Most of our information comes through informers, but last year a poacher was caught with lion bones,” Begg wrote in an email to The Associated Press.

“There is no doubt that poaching

OUR VIEW

Human service providers need more funding

Sad and pathetic, but not the least bit surprised.

That was our reaction last week when we read an Associated Press story about the state’s funding – or lack of funding – of services for Illinoisans with disabilities.

“A federal court monitor is criticizing Illinois For the record for failing to ensure that people with developmental A lack of state funding to disabilities receive aderaise caregiver wages has crequate support within their communities for a second ated unprecedented shortages year in a row,” the AP’s of workers. story opened.

“The monitor’s annual report, issued last week, says a lack of state funding to raise caregiver wages has created unprecedented shortages of workers who assist developmentally disabled residents when they move out of institutions and into apartments or group homes. The services include everything from eating and hygiene to learning life skills.”

The court monitor was put into place in 2011 after civil rights groups sued the state of Illinois for failing to comply with a Supreme Court decision that unjustified institutionalization of people with developmental disabilities or mental illnesses is discriminatory.

The state reimburses social service providers for caregivers’ salaries at a rate of $9 an hour. As a result, providers see constant staff turnover and even shortages, reducing the amount of time caregivers spend with clients and resulting in program eliminations.

In the meantime, the state’s public employee unions have strongarmed lawmakers into giving obscene and unsustainable salary and benefit packages to its members.

As a result, the state’s pension systems are underfunded by $130 billion, worst in the nation. AFSCME’s leaders are threatening a worker strike if they don’t get even more.

Illinois also owes service providers more than $11 billion for work already completed. The state is in its current fiscal predicament despite overly burdensome taxes that have tens of thousands of residents fleeing annually for greener pastures.

Taxpayers need relief. They can’t pay more.

But our human service providers do, in fact, need more.

It’s a dilemma with no solution in sight because Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan and his cronies refuse to admit it’s their failed leadership and kowtowing to unions that got the state in the mess it’s currently in.

And Illinois’ most vulnerable citizens suffer as a result.

As we said at the top, it’s sad and pathetic. But we’re not the least bit surprised.

ANOTHER VIEW

A mysterious, terrible turn of events

One day after President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin held their first phone call, Russian-backed forces mounted their largest offensive in months in eastern Ukraine.

Now, days later, one of Russia’s most prominent opposition activists is in a coma in a Moscow hospital, where he was rushed after suddenly taking ill Thursday morning.

Vladimir Kara-Murza, a writer and civil- society activist with many supporters in Washington, D.C., is believed by his family to be the victim of a poisoning attack – the second they believe he has suffered since 2015.

His agony most likely holds a message from Putin to the new Trump administration. With the new assault on Ukraine and the felling of Kara-Murza, the Kremlin hopes to establish that such crimes will be tolerated by the new U.S. president as part of a refounded relationship with

Moscow.

So far, Putin’s gambit is succeeding: Trump, while sparring with close U.S. ally Australia, has had nothing to say about the events in Ukraine and Moscow.

Kara-Murza offered an ideal target for Putin’s challenge. The 35-year-old former journalist, a fluent English speaker, was a close associate of Mr. Nemtsov.

His family lives outside Washington, and his support in Congress can be intuited from the statements that poured out Thursday.

Kara-Murza first suffered from an apparent poisoning attack in May 2015, shortly after he testified in Congress in favor of expanding human rights sanctions on Russia. Suddenly taken ill during a meeting, within hours he was in a Moscow hospital’s intensive care unit, his organs failing. Doctors there saved his life but were unable to explain what had afflicted him; tests in France later detected an

unusual level of metals in vital organs.

With stunning courage, Kara-Murza returned to Moscow and resumed his political activities after regaining just enough strength to walk with a cane. When asked if he were not an obvious target for a Kremlin hit, the dissident invariably replied he believed he had no choice but to go on working for democracy and human rights in his country.

Kara-Murza is the sort of freedom fighter the United States always has defended.

He walks in the footsteps of Andrei Sakharov and Natan Sharansky, the Soviet-era dissidents whom President Ronald Reagan fought to save. If Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson now do nothing on his behalf, they will show that their administration is ready to appease Putin at the price of American values.

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.

Without limits, an impoverished future awaits

To the Editor: I don’t know if it is Donald Trump’s presidency or the fear of the recurring cancer I have fought for the past seven years, but I spent last night composing my obituary. What follows is a short version.

I have spent the past 50 of my 81 years trying to save the human species from itself. It was a totally wasted effort. We have refused to accept any limits to our reproductive freedom or any thought of limits to economic growth. We have, in the process, devastated the two most foundational sources of our wealth and well-being – a moderate, predictable climate and our fertile, productive soils. Any wealth is largely in our rear-view mirror.

But Trump and his minions propose we return to the carefree days of no perceived limits, urging us to double down on the consumption of what little remains of our wealth-producing resources.

The results won’t be pretty. If you want to spare your grandchildren the heartbreak of a deeply impoverished future, don’t have any grandchildren. Otherwise, sit them down and emphatically inform them. Perpetual growth on a finite planet is a lunatic fantasy – not just a dangerous, but a deadly one. We who reject such fantasies will keep on supporting family planning, reducing GHG emissions, returning carbon back into our soils

VIEWS Alexandra Petri cratic election?

“I believe that awaiting the result of a democratic election, rather than having a nomination fight in this partisan election-year environment, will give the nominee more legitimacy and better preserve the Court’s credibility as an institution,” said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, once, and I agree with him.

We should nominate someone once we have the results of a democratic election, and not a second before.

President Donald Trump of all people should be fighting to stop this immoral process. As he keeps reminding us with his accounts of millions upon mil-

and building local food networks. These actions will, for some at least, mean the difference between surviving and not. I wish I could see how it all plays out. But, then again, I’m glad I won’t.

Re-elect Lesperance

To the Editor: Mike Lesperance deserves to be re-elected as Nunda Township Highway commissioner. I am a longtime resident of Nunda Township who greatly appreciates the positive changes Mr. Lesperance has implemented to our roads. He is a true public servant who is extremely responsive to the needs of the township residents.

In an age of rising taxes, he has reduced tax bills to Nunda Township residents by $176,000 annually. He has eliminated the previous debt of the road district and has controlled spending. He has built an award-winning recycling center, expanded the township’s asphalt maintenance program and improved drainage in many areas. He has obtained more than $250,000 from FEMA in flood aid expenses and is in the process of obtaining more than $2.2 million in road improvement grants.

Based on his accomplishments and dedication, I strongly urge Nunda Township voters to re-elect “Iron Mike” Lesperance and his team.

lions of fraudulent votes cast, this was apparently no democratic election.

How can one possibly proceed?

It is important to stand on principle regardless of the merits of the nominee, which may well be substantial.

Besides, we are still in the throes of a campaign. In fact, Trump has already gathered enough funds to begin his 2020 reelection bid – more than $7 million. The fundraising has begun.

The sloganing has begun. He has sent a letter to the Federal Election Commission and everything.

In such a harshly partisan election environment, we cannot possibly proceed.

It is a simple matter of principle.

Without the results of a democratic election blowing their strong wind at our back, it would be a great disservice to the Supreme Court, as an institution, for the current president

to nominate anyone whom the people may not want and who may, indeed, not represent a majority of voters’ beliefs at all. As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., once famously observed, “our view is this: Give the people a voice in the filling of this vacancy.”

“This has never been about who the nominee is,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said in a statement, long ago. “It is about a basic principle. Under our Constitution, the president has every right to make this nomination, and the Senate has every right not to confirm a nominee.”

Respect women’s lives

To the Editor: Great slogan – “Respect life.” Let’s consider what this two-word phrase means in total 1. “Respect life” automatically assumes women who have abortions do so to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy.

2. “Respect life” automatically assumes doctors have no clue whether a pregnancy, say a tubal pregnancy, will take a mother’s life.

3. “Respect life” means all U.S. citizens have the “right” to “state-of-the-art” health care, except women of child-bearing age.

There’s no shortage of opinions what exactly “respect life” means, but I will guarantee you that if Roe V Wade is reversed, GOP men will decide whether your pregnancy can take your life.

And let’s not forget many old, white, GOP men believe women decide pregnancy. We have heard comments from GOP lawmakers that are quite frightening about women getting pregnant.

What “respect life” means in total is: If you are pregnant, totally trust Jesus.

He will take care of everything. Seek medical attention, but doctors are wrong about dangerous pregnancies.

If we adopt this philosophy for women of child-bearing years as health care, let it expand to all! Let’s all let Jesus decide when our time is up, and no one can seek any medical advice.

Many new federal laws could be generated for men to take responsibility to stop abortion. Men should be teaching men to stop abortion. They own 50 percent of the problem. Please, respect women’s lives.

He has a groovy last name that I am stunned does not appear anywhere in the Harry Potter series as the name of a winged creature that lives in a cave.

Welcome to the Goldilocks Zone

When people retire, they often drop down a tax bracket because they no longer have any earned income. For example, a couple may be in a 25 percent tax bracket while they’re working, but after they retire, they could easily find themselves in the lower 15 percent tax bracket.

Once they reach age 70½, FINANCE these retirees often have to start taking required Mike minimum distributions Piershale out of their IRAs and other retirement plans. Also, they may have delayed Social Security until age 70 to get a bigger check. When all of this extra taxable income kicks in after age 70, they often jump right back up into a higher tax bracket, like 25 percent, for the rest of their life. For example, when a couple retires at age 65, they may have a five-year window, sometimes called the Goldilocks Zone, where from 65 to 70, they can take advantage of being in a lower tax bracket to cut their taxes through the use of tax bracket Roth conversions.

The idea is to pull money out of your pre-tax IRA while you’re in a lower tax bracket like the 15 percent bracket, and convert it to a Roth IRA. You’ll lose 15 cents on the dollar in taxes when you do the conversion, but it may save you taxes in the long run.

When you reach age 70½ and those taxable required minimum distributions kick in and possibly some delayed taxable Social Security, if it throws you into a higher bracket like 25 percent for the rest of your life, you’ll save 25 cents on the dollar when you spend the Roth IRA money because it’s now tax-free.

To illustrate, let’s say Bob and Alice, a married couple filing a joint return, retire at age 65. Because they no longer have any earned income, they drop into the 15 percent tax bracket. Let’s also assume they can trigger an extra $30,000 a year in taxable income and still be in the 15 percent bracket.

Now they convert $30,000 of their pre-tax IRAs into Roth IRAs to use up the rest of their 15 percent tax bracket. They would have to pay $4,500 in federal taxes when they convert. In 10 years, the $30,000, which is now in Roth IRAs, is worth $53,725, assuming it averages a 6 percent rate of return. If this couple now decides to pull the money out, it’s all free and clear of taxes forever.

On the other hand, if they had left the $30,000 in the pre-tax IRA and took it out in 10 years, they would have to pay tax in a 25 percent bracket assuming their required minimum distributions and delayed Social Security pushed them into this bracket after age 70.

Using the same 6 percent rate of return, after they pay the tax, they would have $40,294. They still would have the $4,500 that now wouldn’t have to be used to pay tax on the Roth conversion. This would have grown to about $7,526 after tax. Add these two numbers together and the total is $47,820 after tax versus the $53,725 on the Roth, which is tax free. That’s a $6,000 difference in favor of the Roth.

If this couple is able to repeat this same strategy for five years from age 65 to 70, while they are temporarily in a 15 percent bracket, it would save them $30,000 in taxes. Welcome to the Goldilocks Zone.

Apple reversed its iPhone slump. But what’s next?

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – Apple has snapped out of the first sales slump in the iPhone’s decade-long history, although the modest upturn doesn’t mean that it has broken out of its innovation funk.

If anything, the numbers Apple released last week highlight the company’s growing dependence on the iPhone, whose sales tower above Apple’s other current offerings. The company hasn’t managed to come up with another breakthrough product since its chief visionary, Steve Jobs, died in 2011.

Meanwhile, Apple’s rivals have been rolling out new products in other promising fields such as augmented reality, virtual reality and artificial intelligence. Apple currently trails in those areas, although many analysts believe the company may try to catch up with products featuring those trendy technologies later this year.

No matter what’s coming down the pike, the iPhone remains a huge moneymaker. Its success is the main reason Apple boasts a market value of $640 billion – more than any other company. The iPhone also is driving the rapid growth of Apple’s services division, which makes money from fixing devices, selling music streaming subscriptions and commissions on sales of mobile apps. Apple’s services revenue surged 18 percent to $7.2 billion in the past quarter, putting it on pace generate enough annual revenue by itself to rank among the world’s largest companies.

But selling more iPhones has been getting tougher as more people hold on to older models for longer periods and competitors such as Samsung and Google entice customers with sleek devices running on Android software.

The trend led to three consecutive quarters in which iPhone sales fell compared to the prior year, causing Apple’s total revenue to sag as well.

Apple bounced back in the quarter ending in December, buoyed by a positive response to the late September release of the iPhone 7

and 7 Plus. That device featured a better camera, which drew rave reviews, and no jack for headphones, which irked some consumers and befuddled others.

Apple shipped 78.3 million iPhones in the latest quarter, a 5 percent increase compared to the previous year. It benefited from a yearend quarter consisting of 14 weeks, one more than the previous year period. If not for the calendar quirk, the iPhone sales slump might not have ended. Apple sold an average of 5.6 million iPhones per week in the latest quarter compare to 5.7 million iPhones per week in the previous year.

The Cupertino, California, company also was helped by a recall of Samsung’s Note 7 phones, which were plagued by battery fires.

That problem drove some people switch to other models such as the iPhone.

About 17 percent of all iPhones are now 7 models, according to Localytics, which tracks activity on mobile devices. Most of the rest are older iPhone 6 or iPhone 5 models. Apple could have sold more of the iPhone 7 Plus, which boasts a bigger screen and an extra camera, but the company misgauged demand and didn’t make enough to meet customer demand, CEO Tim Cook said during a conference call.

IPhone sales could slip yet again. Anticipation is building for the expected release of a 10th anniversary iPhone of some sort this summer or fall. Many smartphone owners could hold off until they get a good look at this year’s iPhone, says Daniel Ives, a senior vice president for the mobile research firm Synchronoss Technologies.

“It’s like a drum roll while everyone waits for the curtains to roll back to unveil the next iPhone,” Ives says. “There is a lot of pent-up demand out there, so this has the potential to be a game changer.”

Cook promises there are still many iPhone advances yet to come that will win even more fans.

“The smartphone is still in the early innings of the game,” he said. “I think there’s lots more to do.”

house. Should we still consider this home? – Denise Dear Denise: The downsides are simple. One, you’ve got to look at the stupid thing every time you’re sitting on your patio. Two, when you get ready to sell it, everyone who looks at the house is going to have the same concerns you have. It’s not going to appreciate in value, and you’re going to have trouble selling it when the time comes.

If you’re willing to put up with those two things, you might get a steal of a deal on this place because no one else may want this house. And when I say a steal, I’m talking around 40 percent off the appraisal. To me personally, it would be enough of an eyesore that I probably wouldn’t buy. Again, that’s just a personal opinion.

Keep in mind that if you go through

with this, when you get ready to sell it you’re going to lose out on any money you gained in the buy. Someone is going to do the same thing to you. I’m not completely killing the deal, but I definitely wouldn’t buy it to live in.

As a rental? Maybe, if I were going to keep it forever. Because people will always rent. But honestly, I wouldn’t want to put up with the hassle in either scenario.

How can I take care of this without wasting an entire day driving to campus to pay with cash? – Amy Dear Amy: Don’t worry, there’s no need for you to drive all the way to campus and back just to pay for your classes. You can run a debit card like it’s a credit card, and they will accept it. The machines don’t recognize the difference, whether you type in a credit card number or a debit card number.

Undiscovered infidelity results in friend’s death from AIDS Dear Abby: On July 13, you responded to someone asking whether friends should tell friends anonymously their spouse is cheating. You advised if someone is not willing to include their name, they should mind their own business.

One of my dear friends from church didn’t get a letter or a phone call during her marriage to her husband, who cheated on her constantly. What she did get was HIV-positive status, later full-blown AIDS and then death. Her husband was positive when she became pregnant, and her son also was born positive.

I believe if someone knew and had told her, she might have been able to use protection. I’m sure she wouldn’t have minded the person not revealing his or her name as much as she minded being blindsided by her husband concealing his illness.

Personally, I’d want to know if I were

with it. I dealt with it as soon as I knew, but if someone had disclosed it to me earlier, perhaps I wouldn’t have experienced the humiliation of an STD, or the lies of a spouse telling me how much he loved me while sleeping around behind living a daily life based on lies and decep- my back.

married young. They were immature and struggled to find their footing in the relationship. During the first year, unbeknownst to each other, they both had one-night stands, which they confided to me separately. I believed imparting that information to anyone only would hurt people for no purpose, so I kept it to myself.

They wound up growing as individuals and as a couple, and they have been happily married for 20 years. I have no doubt if I had spilled the beans, it promptly would have ended the union. –

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You’ll see clearly this year. Don’t second-guess yourself or wait for someone else to take the lead. Be forward with your intentions and don’t hesitate to let others know how you feel and what you expect. Being in control will be liberating and will encourage you to be your very best.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Emotional deception can set you back. Be honest with yourself about what has transpired and the part you’ve played,

instead of living in denial or walking away. Truth and honesty rule.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You must take time to pamper yourself and rest up for what lies ahead.

Feeling good about your appearance will give you the boost you need to take chances and succeed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Hidden matters will be revealed if you are too open about your past or personal plans. Protect your reputation and position.

Positive change is within reach, and being emotionally open will speed up the process.

Getting along with people and finding ways to accommodate both your needs and the needs of

others will put you in a good position. Romance is highlighted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Keep an open mind, but don’t cave under pressure. You have to do what’s right for you, even if it’s at the expense of someone else. Follow your heart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You should stick close to home today. Travel or dealing with people who have ulterior motives will lead to frustration and dead-ends. Physical exercise and a nutritious diet will improve your health and appearance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You need to keep your life simple and moderate. Use your intuition to help you avoid getting involved with people who lack discretion or tend to be hotheaded. Do your own thing and prosper.

WRESTLING: CLASS 2A WOODSTOCK NORTH REGIONAL

Tigers win crown

Montford, despite finger injury, puts CLC over the top

By JOE STEVENSON

@HHSWRESTLINGBJB @HHS_Athletics1 wins it’s first ever regional title taking home the hardware at the 3A Jacobs Regional – @ChrisCasey22x

Regional Champion! @Silva321FUTP60 @Lukey_Silva @mcchs_wrestling – @mrs_silva33 (Julie Silva) Follow our writers on Twitter: Joe Stevenson – @NWH_JoePrepZone Sean Hammond – @sean_hammond Alex Kantecki – @akantecki John Wilkinson – @jwilks26

What to watch Super Bowl LI: New England vs. Atlanta, 5:30 p.m., FOX One edge the Patriots have over the Falcons can’t be denied: experience. When a team has a quarterback and a coach in their seventh Super Bowl together, that’s the kind of experience that can be key.

WOODSTOCK – Brock Montford’s gnarly left index finger – with the 1-inch scar and the still-swollen lower knuckle – is covered with a protective wrap when he wrestles, which limits his moves, but not his production.

The Crystal Lake Central sophomore returned to the lineup for the first time in six weeks and won his two matches at Saturday’s Woodstock North Class 2A Wrestling Regional Meet, one by major decision, one by fall, and helped the Tigers take the team championship.

In fact, as Central coach Justen Lehr put it, without Montford at 112 pounds, the Tigers would not have won. Montford scored 22 points, and Central finished with 1781/2, while Harvard was second with 153. Add the extra points Harvard’s Uriel Herrera, the 112 runner-up, would have scored without Montford there, and the Hornets would have had the title.

“His parents (Mike and Mandy) made the call and said they were going to let him do it,” Lehr said. “He shouldn’t be wrestling. He worked so hard, we think he can qualify for state. I told the parents, ‘Whatever you want to do, I’m good with it.’ If he doesn’t wrestle today, we probably don’t win.”

The top-three individuals from Saturday’s meet advance to the Wauconda Sectional on Friday and Saturday. As team champion, Central moves on to its own dual team sectional meet a few days after the IHSA individual state meet.

Montford (11-9) was injured in December, had surgery on the finger and just returned. He pinned Herrera in 2:48 for the championship.

“I have this big ol’ wrap thing on my hand, that’s why I wrestled on my feet a lot because I don’t want people to grab that,” Montford said. “If I would go out there without the wrap, it might be bad. It’s hard to cradle a guy with one hand. But with the wrap, I don’t feel anything.”

Montford said there are wires holding the broken bone in place that will be removed after the season.

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO

Eddie Diaz

Crystal Lake Central, sr., 145 pounds

Diaz is wrestling his first high school season and cracked the Tigers’ varsity lineup. He took third place at 145 pounds with an 8-6 decision and advances to next week’s Class 2A Wauconda Sectional.

q THE NUMBER

9

Crystal Lake Central qualified all but one of its 10 wrestlers to advance to the championship or third-place matches.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Johnsburg’s 285-pounder, Dyllan Hess, is a combined 42-5 in his two sports for his senior year. Hess started on both lines for the 13-1 Skyhawks football team, which was Class 4A state runner-up, and he is 29-4 in wrestling.

“My goal in the offseason was to qualify for state,” he said. “Certain things have changed a little bit, but that goal still stands. I really, really want to make it to state.”

Lehr said Montford is better than

his record shows.

“His record is deceiving,” Lehr said.

“He’s having a good year.”

Central also got titles from Lenny Petersen (138), Liam O’Donnell (182) and Seamus O’Donnell (195). Frank Carrone (160), Connor Burns (126), Austin Ernd (132), Eddie Diaz (145) and Wyatt Blake (285) also qualified as individuals.

The Tigers trailed Harvard heading into the final round, but overcame that lead.

“We wrestled really well in the finals,” Lehr said. “I’m from that program (Harvard); I know their kids are going to battle and wrestle hard. … It was good.”

Marengo’s Landen Pfeiffer (106) and Joe Mier (170), Woodstock North’s Cole Walkington (120) and Chris Flores (220), Harvard’s Josh Fiegel (126) and Marty Krasinski (160), Richmond-Burton’s Gavin Sutton (145), Marian Central’s Anthony Randazzo (132) and Luke Silva (152) and Johnsburg’s Dyllan Hess (285) were the other regional champs.

WRESTLING: CLASS 3A JACOBS REGIONAL

By CHRIS CASEY

sports@nwherald.com

q UNSUNG HERO

Jake Harrier

Jacobs, fr., 113 pounds

Harrier trailed by one in the final seconds of his triple-overtime, 113-pound bout against Hononegah’s Giovanni Cassioppi, but scored two points with three seconds left to win a regional title.

q THE NUMBER

16

Local wrestlers who qualified for sectionals Saturday at the Class 3A Jacobs Regional.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

After forcing an overtime period, Huntley’s Juan Quiroz scored on a takedown in the final seconds to win the 160-pound regional title.

The Rockford East Team Dual Sectional will be Feb. 21, after the individual sectionals and state tournament.

For now, 10 Huntley wrestlers and six from Jacobs, who advanced Saturday, will head to the Barrington Individual Sectional, which begins Friday.

Bertelsman knows there’s more work to be done, even for his regional champion wrestler, but is proud of

the effort his team put in to accomplish something no other wrestling team in school history has.

“It’s pretty awesome to finally get everyone together and really wrestle well,” Bertelsman said. “Last year, we had seven guys get out of this regional, and we had eight into finals already this year. Right there alone, we were good to go. Ten overall is the most we have ever had advance to sectionals.

First conference (title) ever, and now first regional (title) ever. I couldn’t be happier, really.”

Jimmy Pellegrino (113), Josh Stenger (120), Joey Armijo (132), Justin Allen (182) and Christian Benitez (285) also advance to sectionals, finishing in the top three in their respective weights Saturday.

“It’s great the way we came tougher as a team,” said Ferrante, a freshman who won his 152-pound match, 3-1, over Jacobs’ Jacob Sabella. “It’s great to see our hard work translate into the first-ever regional (title). It’s just about progressing and getting better each day at this point, and I think that’s what I’m doing.”

Joining Sabella in Barrington for Jacobs are 113 champion Jake Harrier, 145 champion David Dudych, 170 champion Loren Strickland, Justin Peters (third at 106) and Beau Harrier

(third at 120).

“I think we did OK, overall,” Jacobs coach Gary Conrad said. “My goal was eight, and we got six (wrestlers through to sectionals), but three champions is good. We had two last year, and one the year before that. It was a good regional. Huntley wrestled really well; Hononegah is tough; so we sat right where I thought we would.”

“It’s just a matter of cleaning things up and not being sloppy anymore,” said Strickland, who fell behind, 6-0, early, but rallied for a 14-8 win by decision. “The last two years I made it to regional finals and lost, so this means a lot. I’m feeling good and think I’m in a good spot for sectionals.”

Bertelsman expects a lot to get accomplished in his team’s four days leading into the sectional.

He knows just because his team won a regional title and had five individual champions doesn’t mean anyone is going to back down from them. However, his expectations still remain extremely high moving forward.

“It used to be hoping to get state qualifiers,” Bertelsman said. “I knew we couldn’t beat a team like Hononegah in the past, but this year is different. It’s going to be a lot of hard work, a lot more stress for me, but I like where we’re at.”

Busse set the tone early for the Warriors, needing only 29 seconds to pin Grant’s Ethan Geist. The victory gave him his second straight individual regional title.

Overtime periods it took Crystal Lake South’s Vincent Fontanetta to beat Lake Zurich’s Kyle Fleming at 195 pounds.

Only four combined points were scored, as Fontanetta held on for a 3-1 decision.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

After wrestling at 195 and 220 in previous years, McHenry’s Geoff Cagle finally notched his first regional championship, this time in the heavyweight class. This, despite Cagle only being 230 pounds, and at an obvious size disadvantage during his win over Lake Zurich’s Mike Bertoia.

sports@nwherald.com FOX LAKE – It’s easy to understand why McHenry freshman Jaden Glauser oozes confidence when he’s on the wrestling mat.

His latest triumph came Saturday afternoon, when he captured his first individual high school regional championship with a 9-3 decision over Barrington junior Jake Meyer, at 170 pounds, during the eight-team Class 3A Grant Regional.

The victory pushed his record to 38-0 heading into Friday and Saturday’s 3A Barrington Sectional.

When asked if he feels any pressure, he let out a big smile.

“I feel the pressure is on everyone else because I’m a freshman,” Glauser said. “Growing up, I would watch a lot of kids who had perfect records get beat once they got to state, and learned a lot from those matches. I don’t plan on letting the fact I haven’t lost go to my head. My record becomes meaning-

less once the next match begins.”

Glauser wasn’t the only one who came up big Saturday for the Warriors.

Lucas Busse pinned Grant’s Ethan Geist only 29 seconds into his match to capture the 120-pound regional title. That was followed by teammate Geoff Cagel’s 6-4 decision over Lake Zurich’s Mike Bertoia at 285 pounds, which gave McHenry its third regional crown of the day.

“I’m proud of all the hard work our guys have put in this season,” McHenry coach Jake Guardalabene said. “Lucas battled a knee injury last year, but still qualified for state. He’s 100 percent now, and is up there with the top guys in state. And the rest of the guys have worked their tails off.”

Busse credits former McHenry wrestler Carter Herber for some of his development.

“Carter came back as a coach, specifically to help me,” Busse said. “I can’t thank him enough. His assistance has been instrumental in making me an all-around better athlete when I’m

on the mat.”

Two other McHenry County wrestlers took home regional titles, and both did so in thrilling fashion.

First, Dundee-Crown’s Chase Raap registered a 7-6 decision over McHenry’s Jake Leske at 182 pounds, thanks to a brilliant maneuver with 10 seconds to go in the match.

“Jake beat me earlier in the season, 1-0,” Raap said. “So this is an emotional victory for me, personally. I was exhausted at the end. I was more aggressive this time than I was the first time we faced off. I learned to take more chances.”

In the 192-pound title match, Crystal Lake South’s Vincent Fontanetta needed three overtime periods to outlast Lake Zurich’s Kyle Fleming, 3-1.

Team-wise, Barrington (222.5 points) finished first overall in the standings, Lake Zurich (185.5) was second and McHenry (134.5) was third. Dundee-Crown (65), Crystal Lake South (64) and Cary-Grove (56) finished fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively.

ALGONQUIN – It has been a year of firsts for the Huntley wrestling team.

After capturing its first Fox Valley Conference title, coach BJ Bertelsman knew more hardware could be on the horizon.

He was right. The Red Raiders captured the program’s first regional team title Saturday at the Class 3A Jacobs Regional.

The Red Raiders (211 points) will be sending 10 wrestlers to next weekend’s 3A Barrington Sectional, including Sammy Spencer (106 pounds), Zach Spencer (126), Luke Loprieno (138), David Ferrante (152) and Juan Quiroz (160) – all of whom won individual regional titles at their respective weights.

“It’s a lot of firsts this year. It’s pretty big to be a part of this team,” said Zach Spencer, who won his title match by a 3-0 decision. “Knowing that I’m part of one of the most successful teams this school has ever had is special. Hopefully, we can use this momentum and keep the ball rolling and get to state.”

Hononegah (191 points), Jacobs (142), DeKalb (133) and Harlem (89) rounded out the top-five team scores.

4 GIRLS BASKETBALL: CARY-GROVE 37, HAMPSHIRE 28

C-G keeps FVC title up for grabs Win prevents Whips from clinching share of conference crown

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com HAMPSHIRE – Cary-Grove girls basketball coach Rod Saffert stomped his feet and pumped his fists as the final seconds ticked away, and the Trojans handed Hampshire a 37-28 loss to keep their chances of a Fox Valley Conference title alive.

Moments later, Trojans players were echoing their coach’s excitement with loud cheers inside a bubbly classroom located outside of the gym and down the hallway for all passing by to hear.

“It’s a big game,” said Saffert, whose Trojans held Hampshire to 51 points in two wins this season. “I was just trying to drown out their side, and all of their fans that were all over of us. It’s a big win.”

With the win, Cary-Grove (14-11, 9-5) remains in contention for the FVC title, while the Whips (15-9, 10-4) lost a chance to clinch at least a share Saturday.

Hampshire, whose lead is down to one game over Dundee-Crown, Hunt-

ley and the Trojans, still controls its path to the conference title, needing a win in its final two FVC games. The Whips still can win it outright by winning both.

“We just fulfilled our assignments,” Saffert said. “You can never believe that you’re out of it. We’ve got two more (FVC games) to take care of, but we’re feeling good right now.”

Leading 25-23 heading into the fourth quarter, the Trojans’ defense shut down Hampshire over the final eight minutes. The Whips made only 1 of 7 shots in the fourth for five points, and C-G made 3 of 4 shots while hitting Becca all six of its free throws.

Kendeigh Katie Demert made the front-end of 1-and-1s twice in the final 45.8 seconds to seal the win, hitting all four of her free throws. C-G outscored Hampshire, 12-5, in the fourth.

“I thought we had opportunities, but we didn’t take advantage of them at all,” Whips coach Mike Featherly said. “We were probably a step slow all game. I don’t think that was really any indication of where we are at as a basketball team. We just didn’t come ready to play.”

Senior guard Becca Kendeigh led all scorers with 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting, also going 4 of 4 from the foul line.

Teams still mathematically alive for a potential FVC championship (Hampshire, Dundee-Crown, Cary-Grove, Huntley and McHenry).

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Hampshire’s Lauren Herrmann made an off-balanced jumper to close out the third quarter with two Trojans defenders on top of her. The ball banged off the backboard for two points to cut C-G’s lead to 25-23, but Hampshire scored only five points the rest of the way.

Katie Sowa added nine points and eight rebounds, and Maddie Gorz had six, including the team’s only 3-pointer.

The Trojans finished 12 of 26 (46.2 percent) from the field, and made 12 of 14 foul shots. The Whips, meanwhile, were 9 of 34 (26.5 percent), going 8 of 10 from the free-throw line.

“This gives us a lot of momentum for our games next week, which are

both at home,” Kendeigh said. “They were kind of taking away my 3-point shot today. They know that I like to shoot 3s, and they were kind of giving me the lane open. I took advantage and looked to drive a lot today.”

While Hampshire successfully limited Sowa to only nine points on three field goals, C-G equally did a good job against Rachel Dumoulin, who entered averaging more than 14 points a game.

Dumoulin finished with nine points on 2-of-5 shooting, Meagan Heine had six points and seven rebounds, and Maggie Goad and Lauren Herrmann added five points apiece.

“We practice hard, like all teams do at this time of year, to take away their best player,” Saffert said. “You can’t let Dumoulin get going; she’s a great player. They were doing the same to us, forcing other girls to shoot the ball, and we found ways to get those girls to do so.”

The Whips play at Dundee-Crown on Monday, and play host to McHenry in the conference finale Friday.

The Trojans, meanwhile, play host to McHenry and Crystal Lake South to finish their season.

“We’ve got to come back Monday,” Featherly said. “The nice thing about this is it’s going to be out of our minds really quick. We talk a lot about the ‘Cinderella rule.’ At midnight, it’s over.”

Central had high expectations coming into the season after finishing third at state last year in the Medium Team class. Coach Elizabeth Brauneis said she was proud of the effort her team put forth this season.

“The kids that I had this season worked incredibly hard,” Brauneis said. “They won sectionals, they won conference, and they really came together as a team.”

The Tigers advanced to state after winning the Belvidere Sectional with a 94.4. On Saturday, they did not execute as well as they have in past performances.

BLOOMINGTON – With the stage set and the lights shining bright Saturday at Bloomington’s U.S. Cellular Coliseum, the Crystal Lake Central cheerleading team made a few too many mistakes, finishing seventh in the Medium Team class at the IHSA competitive cheerleading state finals.

Lemont won the Medium Team state championship with a score of 89.62. Columbia took home the second-place trophy with an 88.84, and Oak Forest took third with an 86.84.

Central’s 84.59 placed it seventh of the 10 teams that reached Saturday’s final round. The Tigers could not replicate their performance from Friday’s preliminary round, when they advanced with the best score (86.79) of all 25 Medium Team squads.

Continued from page 5 “Today was a rough day for the kids,” Brauneis said. “I’m proud of them and what they did, but today was definitely not our best performance.”

Senior Jessica Murphy agreed that there were some mistakes that cost them.

“There were definitely things we could have improved on,” Murphy said. “But we did everything that we could. I don’t think we really regretted much coming off of (the floor).

“I think we can all say we’re disappointed, but we had an amazing season.

We really became a family, and I think that’s what we can be more proud of than what we did today.”

Central was competing at state this weekend for the sixth consecutive year. Last year’s third-place finish was its best performance during that span.

Of the four local teams to reach state this year, Central was the only one to advance to Saturday’s finals. Huntley, Hampshire and Jacobs all were eliminated Friday. Jacobs missed out on the final round by less than two-tenths of a point in the Large Team preliminaries.

The Tigers returned home empty-handed, but with their heads up.

“We’re proud of what we did, but we wish we had done better,” sophomore Faith Kahovec said. “We knew we could.”

“I’m really happy for everyone at the podium, I think they’re all deserving of it,” Murphy added. “The girls and Gunner have become like my best friends and my family. It will definitely be a huge part of my senior year. I’ll remember the friendships I’ve made and the successes we had.”

pay too much attention to the scoreboard,” Krasinski said. “Just keep wrestling, keep trying to score points like it’s 0-0. Being down 5-0 made me think a little more, but I just kept wrestling.”

Krasinski felt he had an advantage after forcing overtime.

“Mentally, I was prepared to do anything in that match,” Krasinski said. “Mental toughness is something you can’t teach, but I’ve tried to work on that the most because that changes a match you’re supposed to lose into a match you’re going to win.”

Randazzo (30-6) defeated Harvard’s Justin Wilcox (39-5), 5-2, with one big move near the end of the second period. Wilcox, who pinned Randazzo earlier this season, had been on top most of the match to that point, when Randazzo scored a reversal and near fall.

“I’ve been working on leg counters in our practices,” Randazzo said.

“When he threw one in, I realized I was going back to what I learned in the practice room. He’s a good wrestler. I wanted to get my revenge.”

Randazzo was then able to hold that advantage through the third period.

“I heard the crowd go crazy when I got him on his back,” Randazzo said. “That fed me through the entire match. I just couldn’t let him go.”

Harvard’s Krasinski (34-11) had one of the day’s best comebacks at 160, rallying from a 5-0 deficit to Central’s Frank Carrone to win, 7-5, in overtime. Those two are former Crystal Lake Wizards teammates who used to be practice partners.

8 SUPER BOWL LI: PATRIOTS VS. FALCONS, 5:30 P.M. SUNDAY, FOX

Pats have experience; Falcons have playmakers

HOUSTON – Of all the game previews I’ve written this season, this matchup between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI is by far the most difficult to figure.

There is no question these clubs have the two best offenses and two best quarterbacks in the NFL this season.

New England appears to have an edge on defense, but BEARS INSIDER the adolescent Falcons deHub fense has been Arkush closing the gap quickly.

You have to give the Patriots a clear edge in coaching with Bill Belichick, but Dan Quinn is the architect of the Seattle defenses that have given the Pats more trouble than any other team in the league in recent seasons, and Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and defensive coordinator Richard Smith are the only pair in the league who can rival their Patriot counterparts Josh McDaniels and Matt Patricia.

Like Belichick, Tom Brady rates an edge over anybody, and that’s why New England was fourth in total offense this season, seventh in rushing, fourth in passing, first in interception percentage, fourth on third down, sixth in time of possession and third in points scored.

Statistically, the Falcons’ defense can’t touch the Pats’ offense, and it particularly is troubling that Atlanta ranked 25th in total defense, 28th vs. the pass, 26th in QB sacks and on third down and 27th in points allowed.

But Atlanta’s defense has been trending up with a bullet, allowing only 20.5 points a game in its past eight after giving up 28.3 points a game in the first 10.

More to the point, second-year stars

This, however, is where we might have to throw out the numbers, as Matt Ryan and Julio Jones are arguably the best in the league at their positions this season, Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman are the best running back tandem in the league, and Mohamed Sanu and Taylor Gabriel will create matchup problems if the Patriots dedicate people to take away Jones, Freeman and Coleman.

NFL AWARDS

Ryan, Falcons, Cowboys big winners on awards night

By BARRY WILNER

The Associated Press HOUSTON – Matt Ryan and the Dallas Cowboys were big winners Saturday night.

The Atlanta Falcons quarterback was voted The Associated Press 2016 NFL’s Most Valuable Player and top offensive player. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott took Offensive Rookie of the Year and Jason Garrett was selected Coach of the Year by a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league.

On the eve of the Super Bowl in which he will face off with two-time league

MVP Tom Brady, who finished second in this year’s balloting, Ryan easily outdistanced Brady, 25-10, for MVP. He beat Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers 15½ to 11 for Offensive Player of the Year.

Ryan, of course, was not on hand at the “NFL Honors” TV show. But in a taped acceptance Matt Ryan speech, he said: “I just want to say thank you. This is an incredible honor for me. Obviously, there are so many other great candidates and players who had amazing seasons.

“I want to thank all my teammates.

Obviously, without them, none of this is possible. We’ve had so many guys on our team make great plays and have great seasons for us, so thank you to those guys.”

Garrett drew 25 votes for best coach, beating out New England’s Bill Belichick (14).

“This is an extension of our football team, and I really accept it on their behalf,” said Garrett, who took over as Dallas coach in 2010. “I coach with some really great guys, and I’m really fortunate to coach with so many great players that go about it the right way, and it’s really just an extension of that.

It’s a team award.”

Prescott, in a two-man race with his running back, Ezekiel Elliott, won 28½ to 21½. The QB brought the RB onstage to share in his special moment.

“He deserves it just as much as I do from his yards, his catches,” Prescott said. “The way we handled things in the backfield is always together.”

Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, apparently headed to San Francisco after the Super Bowl to be head coach of the 49ers, took the assistant coaching award.

Packers receiver Jordy Nelson, returning from a devastating knee injury, was selected Comeback Player of the Year.

mlazerus@suntimes.com DALLAS – Patrick Sharp knows he’s in the last year of his contract, knows the Dallas Stars are only a few losses away from becoming trade-deadline sellers, knows the Blackhawks are in the market for a top-line left wing, and knows that people are talking.

But to use an expression native to his new home, this ain’t his first rodeo, either.

“I got a good dose of that my last year in Chicago, and I listened to the outside stuff,” Sharp said after Saturday’s morning skate. “I feel like I’ve learned from it. It doesn’t bother me nearly as much as it would have in the past. I’m happy to be in the hunt here with these guys. We’re within striking distance, and whatever people are going to talk about outside, I can’t control that. I can only control how I play within this organization.”

The injury-riddled Stars – an early season disappointment after winning the Central Division last year – have been playing much better of late, and entered Saturday’s game against the Hawks four points out of the second wild-card spot, but with four teams to leapfrog. Like so many other teams in the league this season, the Stars are teetering on the edge of contention, which is greatly limiting the trade market so far.

AP photo

Stars left wing Patrick Sharp (front) takes control of the puck in front of Blackhawks center Marcus Kruger in the first period Saturday night in Dallas. The Hawks won, 5-3.

Sharp’s name has indeed come up in the Hawks’ inner circle, but given his $5.9 million cap hit – which forced his trade to Dallas after the 2015 Stanley Cup run in the first place – a team source described it as “a last resort.”

But Sharp is focused on the Stars’ playoff push.

It’s an unusual feeling for Sharp to be playing meaningful games in February. The last time he was on a team that really had to fight to get into the postseason was the 2010-11 seasons with the Hawks.

“Normally, it’s the dog days of the season, and you’re just trying to get to that playoff stretch drive,” Sharp said.

“It’s a little different scenario for our team this year, as opposed to last. Last year, we were off to a great start and kind of cruising to the playoffs. This year, we’re fighting to get in.”

Sharp simply is glad to be contributing again. He suffered a concussion

only four games into the season, missed 14 games, came back for seven games, then missed 12 more before returning for good Dec. 31. Since his return, he has five goals and five assists in 15 games.

Sharp said he “probably rushed back a little too quickly.” The dizziness and motion-sickness-like symptoms lingered, but it wasn’t just a physical issue for Sharp – who thought he had dealt with a concussion in the past, but never anything like this. He said Brent Seabrook helped him along with some good advice.

“It wasn’t so much the physical symptoms from the injury, it was more like the emotional side of it,” Sharp said.

“I had a lot of anxiety about it, waiting to get back on the ice and play. It wasn’t a sprained knee that you have a timetable, it’s just a day-to-day thing where you’re hoping you can come out of it.

I’m thankful that I did come out of it and happy to be back on the ice playing.”

Darling: Goalies ‘punished for getting better’ New, thinner pants become mandatory

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com DALLAS – Scott Darling knows the NHL is going to keep targeting goaltenders in its effort to boost scoring in the league. But that doesn’t mean he has to like it.

“We’re pretty much being punished for getting better at our position,” Darling said Saturday, the first day the NHL is mandating goalies

wear the new, thinner pants. “While the forwards get better and stronger equipment and better sticks, they’re taking away protection from goalies. There’s nothing we can do about it. You’ve just got to deal with it and adjust and get used to it, and then try and stay safe.”

Scott Darling Darling has been wearing the thinner pants for a little more than a week now, and Corey Crawford has worn them in some games, including the All-Star game in Los Angeles.

“They’re definitely thinner,” Crawford said. “It’s not going to make a huge difference, but there’s some little tweaks to be done with the equipment.”

One of those tweaks is just to make them safer. Darling said goalies certainly can feel shots more with the thinner padding, but that new models that will offer better protection while still conforming to the new guidelines are expected to arrive shortly.

Darling didn’t expect them to make much of a difference in scoring, saying most goalies already have adapted accordingly, but future changes to chest protectors and other paddings could have the desired effect down the road.

“A lot of the goalies have been using them, so I don’t know if that’s the reason why goals have been up across the league (lately).” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “I think these are minor changes. The goalies over the years, whether you call it a cheater here or there, they’re enhancing their size in the net. I think that’s what this is all about.”

Roster report: Vinnie Hinostroza was a healthy scratch for the second straight game. But it didn’t sound as though he was headed for a stint in Rockford, as Nick Schmaltz and Tyler Motte were earlier in the season.

“We don’t expect him to be out too much longer,” Quenneville said.

• Sunday, February 5, 2017

DALLAS (AP) – Trevor van Riemsdyk put in a rebound with 4:03 left to lift the Blackhawks over the Dallas Stars, 5-3, Saturday night.

Dallas goalie Kari Lehtonen stopped a close-range shot by Artem Anisimov, but van Riemsdyk followed to put the puck under Lehtonen and make it 4-3. Jonathan Toews added an empty-net goal in the final second.

Van Riemsdyk’s older brother, James, also had a late game-winning goal Saturday, helping the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Boston Bruins, 6-5.

The third period of this one was dominated by scoring stars. Goals by Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin gave the Stars a 3-2 lead at 9:24, but the Hawks’ Patrick Kane tied the score 35 seconds after Seguin scored.

Corey Crawford stopped 31 shots for the Hawks and is 4-0 against Dallas this season.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Tomlinson, Warner, Davis part of 7-man Hall of Fame class

HOUSTON – The quarterback served as ringmaster for “The Greatest Show on Turf.” The running backs were known simply by their initials: LT and TD. And the receiver also known by two letters – TO – was on the outside looking in again.

All unstoppable in their own way, LaDainian Tomlinson, Terrell Davis and Kurt Warner earned their spots in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Terrell Owens, however, got turned away in a decision that went viral on social media and led the receiver to blame a “flawed process” in an after-the-fact tweet.

Also making it were sackmaster Jason Taylor – in on his first ballot, the same as Tomlinson – and Morten Andersen, the NFL’s all-time leading scorer, who joins Jan Stenerud as the second pure placekicker to make the hall.

Seahawks safety Kenny Easley made it as a senior nominee, while Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is in as a contributor.

Former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue did not get in, with his role in downplaying the severity of the league’s concussion problem a factor in the vote.

Tomlinson’s victory shed a glimmer of light on a dark year for San Diego fans.

The city lost its team, but gained a Hall of Famer.

Spurs’ Popovich gets 1,128th win, most with one team

SAN ANTONIO – Gregg Popovich became the winningest coach with a single franchise in NBA history, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 121-97 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.

Popovich earned his 1,128th victory to pass former Utah coach Jerry Sloan for the mark.

tips for buying jewelry for Valentine’s Day

Deals to be had if you do your research

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Shopping for jewelry for a loved one ahead of Valentine’s Day can be stressful. But learning some tricks should help anyone have an easier time finding the perfect gift. That means understanding a partner’s tastes, shopping at reputable jewelry stores and learning what the wording means in terms of how gemstones are graded.

And there’s plenty of opportunity to haggle for the best price.

“It is a big time to buy jewelry,” said Amanda Gizzi, a spokeswoman at the Jewelers of America, a trade association with more than 8,000 retail members.

“There are some wonderful sales to be had. Look for the best pieces for your budget, but don’t be dazzled by the discounts.”

Above all, start researching with time to spare, figure out how much you want to spend, and shop to take advantage of post-holiday sales or limited-time Valentine’s Day deals.

The median price for a piece of jewelry is $350, excluding engagement rings and wedding bands, the trade group says. But there’s a wide range of jewelry sellers from Target to Tiffany. At WalMart’s Sam’s Club, which says its jewelry is priced at a 25 to 40 percent discount over other jewelry retailers, Valentine’s deals run from Jan. 25 to the holiday.

Macy’s jewelry sale, which includes 60 percent off 14-carat and 18-carat gold jewelry, starts Jan. 29 and ends Feb. 9.

“You really do need to shop early if you are budget-minded,” said Benjamin Glaser, features editor at DealNews.com, an online deal comparison site.

Here are some tips:

Know your loved one’s taste

Look at what your partner is wearing and what’s in the jewelry box. If your

All the energy we use comes from the earth.

Electricity is made using the earth’s resources, such as coal, oil or natural gas, which we know are finite and cause pollution. But some energy comes from wind and

And if that person is active, don’t buy rings with high settings, Gizzi said. Among the trends this year: updated classics like hoop earrings with diamond chips, or layering rings or bracelets. If you plan to buy diamonds, see if there’s a way – subtly! – to find out if your partner would rather sacrifice size over quality or vice versa.

Do research, and learn the lingo

Check out sites like Jewelers of America and online retail sites like Blue Nile for help understanding key terms like what clarity means when you are talking about diamonds, or want to know more about how gemstones are graded. Bluenile.com, which also has begun opening in-person showrooms, offers tools to compare prices from 150,000 independently graded diamonds.

Take precautions against fraud

First, be cautious about a store always offering discounts of more than

solar power. Renewable energy, aka “clean energy” or “green power,” doesn’t pollute the air or the water and is a super choice for homes and offices.

However, unlike natural gas and coal, we can’t store up wind and sunshine to use whenever we need to make more electricity. What is

50 percent. Consumers may find the discount price is actually the average retail price elsewhere, says the Jewelers of America. Buy from a trusted retailer.

Ask friends for recommendations, or go to websites like the American Gem Society, which lets you search for reputable jewelry stores by ZIP code.

As for diamonds, consumers should insist a stone be accompanied by an independent grading report from a respected lab like the Gemological Institute of America, says Josh Holland, Blue Nile’s director of brand experience.

Also, check out the return policy and find out whether you’d get your money back or would have to exchange an item for credit. And haggle – it’s a common practice in the jewelry business, Glaser says.

Consider synthetic diamonds

If you want something sparkly but want to avoid gems from conflict zones, synthetic or man-made diamonds are about 20 percent to 40 percent less expensive, according to DealNews. Produced in a laboratory, they are chemically the same as mined diamonds, as opposed to simulated diamonds, which are usually cubic zirconia or moissanite. Pure Grown Diamonds, the world’s largest distributor of them, has a directory on its website of stores by zip code that offer lab-grown diamonds. While a gemologist wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between mined and synthetic diamonds, a jeweler needs to tell buyers the origin.

Be creative

Not interested in spending a lot but still want good quality? Consider estate sales. Or if you think your partner would want to try out pieces for a while, there’s a rental jewelry subscription service called Rocksbox.com. It allows shoppers to get three items a month based on their tastes, delivered to their doors.

possible, is to create the demand for more renewable energy when possible.

In Illinois, choose an energy supplier that produces wind power, or install solar panals on your home. It costs more, but if we increase the demand, eventually the costs will come down. Pair that with strong

conservation habits, and consumer expenses can be managed.

Like all things in life, all the pieces working together in concert can make a beautiful picture and a positive impact.

JUNK new LIFE Options abound to pass on items for those looking to declutter

By LINDSAY WEBER • editorial@nwherald.com The whole new year, new you cliché doesn’t just apply to purging unwanted pounds, bad friends and bad jobs – it’s time to purge stuff. Minimalism is in, and closets should not contain items that at this point are considered costume-worthy, basements shouldn’t give off the warehouse vibe, and garages should be used to store vehicles, not advertise hoarding tendencies.

Start off 2017 a little lighter with some tips to lessen the mess – and the stress.

Donate

Donating is a great option. There always are groups looking for donations to help further their causes and help those less fortunate. So go ahead, give back.

Goodwill has locations in McHenry, Crystal Lake, Huntley and Algonquin that take everything, including clothing, furniture, computers and even cars. Donations can be dropped off during business hours seven days a week, and receipts are given to be used for tax exemptions at the year’s end. An official list of acceptable items, as well as a valuation guide, can be found at www.goodwill.com. Revenue from store sales are put back into the community to help those with disabilities.

Habitat for Humanity ReStore has locations in McHenry and Woodstock and accepts donations of products for the home, including furniture, large and small appliances, windows, doors and lighting fixtures, even pet kennels.

Continued from page 3 They do not accept any type of liquids, unframed glass, upholstered furniture, clothing, dishes or silverware. Dropoff donations are accepted from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Donators are given a receipt for tax exemption along with a 10 percent off coupon that never expires to be used at the ReStore. Proceeds go towards Habitat for Humanity projects.

Don’t want to drag your donations to the drop-off location? Purple Heart Pickup Service offers free collection of clothing and household tax-deductible donation items curbside at your home.

This is a great option for people who do not have the means to drop off their donations as well as some of those larger items that might be difficult for people to haul.

The Crystal Lake Salvation Army Corps has a drop box at 290 W. Crystal Lake Ave. in Crystal Lake as well as its store and donation center at 4400 Elm St. in McHenry for clothing, furniture and household goods. It also offers a free pickup service that can be scheduled on its website, https://satruck. org, as well as vehicle donations.

Donating pros: Doesn’t it just feel good to donate? You can drop off or have items picked up, get your receipt and be on your way, with no follow-up required. Proceeds from these donations are funneled back into the community.

Donating cons: Depending on the amount to donate, dropping off can be hard. The pick-up option is great, but there’s still the matter of scheduling and hauling the items out to the car or curb. And make sure you don’t lose those receipts come tax time. Not to mention, some of these items aren’t cheap and some money back would be nice.

to take. Though “roll in” might be a bit of an exaggeration.

Your Best Friend’s Closet in Algonquin sells women’s fashions, designer handbags, jewelry, shoes and accessories of styles from within the past two to three years. New consignees are required to make an initial appointment to drop off a maximum of 10 items for their first visit. After you’re in the system, you can do what they call a “drop and run” of 10 to 20 items Tuesday through Thursday, every day.

The business now is accepting spring and summer items. Consignees make 40 percent on their sold items.

Revenue goes into an account good for store credit. After 20 days, that amount becomes payable. You have the option

to donate any items deemed unsellable to Home of the Sparrow, or you can pick them back up. Just two doors down, visit Your Best Friend’s Home, a furniture and home décor consignment shop.

Are you a mom drowning in kids clothes you need to unload? Too Cute Consignment Inc. in Crystal Lake is ready to take your new or gently used baby clothes and accessories from newborn to size 16. It does not accept cribs or car seats and doesn’t accept much furniture due to space constraints.

Owner and Crystal Lake resident Jenny Carlini recently celebrated the store’s third anniversary and

now has about 675 active consignees.

She opened the store after her mother passed away from terminal lung cancer.

“I needed a happy place to go after she passed. I belonged to Mothers & More, and I knew there was a market for this. We hand-select all of our merchandise to offer a higher standard of items, and we’re helping from a recycling standpoint,” Carlini said.

Too Cute has a similar process to Your Best Friend’s Closet: New consignees need to make an appointment for their first drop with a maximum of 50 items. Once in the system, drops can be unscheduled with a maximum of 25 items a week. Consignees receive 40 percent of the profit, to be used as store credit or taken in cash.

If you’re looking for more of a oneand-done, pop-up consignments are becoming more popular with events taking place for a few days throughout the year in non-permanent locations.

Here Whee Go Again holds a popup event two to three times a year, generally in spring and fall, in Palatine and Lake Zurich. Locations and dates change yearly due to space availability.

The event offers baby and children’s items from clothing, baby gear, toys, Halloween costumes, shoes, you name it, for newborns to young adolescents.

Owner Kristine Rickert has been running the events for seven years and has gained a following by identifying a specific niche.

“I tend to focus on first-time grandparents,” Rickert said. “They need to outfit their house for their new grandchildren, and that can be expensive.

We offer a first-time grandparents night where we allow 25 first-time grandparents the opportunity to shop before opening to the public.”

Consignees register online for a $15 fee and can enter up to 300 items. The prices are set by the seller, and tags are generated on the website to be printed

Pop-up Consignment Here Whee Go Again www.hwgakidz.com 291 S. Rand Road, Lake Zurich (next to Massage Envy) Hours: 5 to 9 p.m. April 6; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

and applied to the pieces before their scheduled drop-off. The events run Thursday through Saturday, and the store is set up with departments and categories.

“It’s very clean and organized, and you’re not wading through bins looking for items. We walk the entire store prior to opening and pull items we deem unacceptable for sale. The consigner has the opportunity to clean the product or pick it up when they pick up what did not sell,” Rickert said.

Revenue is based on volunteer time in three-hour shifts: one three-hour shift yields 60 percent of the consigner’s items sold, two three-hour shifts 70 percent and three three-hour shifts 80 percent. Consigners have the option to offer a 50 percent discount to buyers on the final day of the sale. Once the event is over, consigners can pick up their unsold items or mark them for donation to groups within Lake and Cook counties, and checks are cut within 10 days of sale.

Consignment pros: Making some money back always is a positive, plus you don’t have to deal with the grunt work of doing the actual selling. Also, prices are marked as is; no haggling.

What doesn’t sell can be donated by the shop, so additional pick-up and drop-off isn’t necessary.

Consignment cons: Preparation, first-time appointments and drop-offs and pick-ups can be tedious. Limited availability.

Selling directly to strangers online also requires packaging and shipping fees, though that can be negotiated in the sale. If selling to somebody locally, it is recommended to meet in a public place for safety reasons. In McHenry County, Lake in the Hills and Woodstock police departments even have designated their parking lots and front lobbies as internet “safe havens” for the increasing number of buyers and sellers who shop online and exchange products in person. While there are

plenty of safe options, there still is a risk of a “no-show,” which can be a frustrating waste of time.

However, the worldwide web means worldwide reach, and odds are somewhere there is a market for what you’re selling.

Online pros: Make money from your old stuff from the comfort of your couch.

Online cons: Possible shipping charges and the need for packaging and drop-off. Selling in person carries its own set of risks, so take precautions. Packages also can get lost in the mail so be careful not to send money out the door, literally. Spring for shipping insurance.

Finding acceptance through sobriety “Stephan” grew up in a family with seven siblings. His mom and dad were hard working, religious people. Stephan knew he was gay by the time he reached middle school.

He never acted on his impulses and even dated girls through high school.

He was a popular and academically talented kid, but his secret was torture for him, especially because of his parents’ deeply held religious beliefs and his brothers’ “uber-male” personas.

His older brothers were no strangers to heavy drinking, and so Stephan found his way to alcohol by sophomore year. Although not a big partier, he often drank alone in his room while telling his parents he was doing homework. He hid his drinking as well as he hid his sexual preference. He felt isolated, alone

and different. He threw himself into academics and was awarded a scholarship to a prestigious school.

He continued drinking secretly and hiding his sexuality but added stimulant drugs “to help him study” and soon became dependent on them, starting a cycle of stimulants to stay awake and study, and alcohol to relax and sleep. He graduated at the top of his class and was offered a high-paying job in California. He stepped into a fast-paced, cocaine-fueled world that he was both unprepared for and excited by. For the first time, far from his family’s judgement, he stepped into the gay community, and a hard-partying lifestyle. He had a long way to go to feel comfortable with his sexual preference. He had no one to judge him but himself, and he discovered his internal judgement

was worse than anything external.

He drank to relieve the pain and hated himself all the more for doing it.

At the end of his rope, he reached out to a recovery program through the gay community aimed mostly at accepting his sexuality and found that, to do that, it was suggested he get sober. “Not as easy as it sounds,” he thought.

All his friends were amphetamine or cocaine users, and most were heavy drinkers as well. Any attempt to stay clean and sober, he thought, would result in social isolation, the very thing he had suffered all his life.

Stephan found he couldn’t live with the drugs and alcohol, but felt he couldn’t live without them.

In desperation, he found a 12-step recovery meeting in his community and discovered a whole group

of sober gay men. With this and a therapist who understood the nature of addiction, along with the precarious process of coming out, Stephan stayed clean and sober.

He was able to find some peace after telling his parents and siblings he was gay and recovering. Although there was some judgement, he felt relief from the honesty. He has continued to live a sober life and has been able to help other addicted gay men to work through the transition to their own sense of freedom.

A traditional Super Bowl LI party Like all parties they host, Marty and Babs answer the door together.

For their annual Super Bowl party, they follow the additional convention of dressing the part. Marty, as always, dresses as the star quarterback for the AFC team and Babs as a cheerleader for the NFC team. We always suspect these outfits are used throughout the year, even during the off-season.

“Come on in – and go Patriots!” the helmet-wearing Marty shouts and points to the number 12 on his jersey.

“You mean go HOTlanta!” Babs exclaims, making a sizzling sound as she touches her index finger to her backside and then immediately begins a low V, high V, touchdown cheer move.

My wife brings a spinach artichoke dip, at my suggestion. Babs says thank you. We walk into the kitchen, where Babs sets it on a table next to the other seven spinach artichoke dips. My wife glares at me. How was I to know the trend reached its peak?

Babs points at the remaining appetizers and gives a rundown. “Pigs in the Backfield. Red Zone Chili. Late Hit Jalapeño Poppers.”

“What’s that?” my wife asks, referring to a bowl of dried out, dark green, thin wafers.

Babs lowers her voice. “Parmesan Kale Chips.” She leans in. “For Karen … the vegan,” she whispers, as if Karen has an incurable disorder.

“Check this out,” Marty says. “The Snack Stadium!”

In a long retangular dish is a “football field” of guacamole complete with sour cream drawn yard lines and “Slim Jim” uprights in each end zone.

Somewhere near the 50-yard line, two

“The conversation turns, as it always does, to the “Golden Years” of football, when there was no such thing as a penalty for oughing the passer or taunting. Helmet-to helmet, spearing, horse collar. Back then, all roughness was necessary – that’s why they called it football. If Butkus played today, they would have to keep him on the sidelines – in a cage.” “teams” of cocktail weenies face off on the line of scrimmage. I pick up a chip.

“Hey – no dipping until kickoff!”

Marty warns.

Marty takes me over to his bar, where several other neighborhood men are sampling Marty’s homebrewed beer and tomato juice concoction made especially for the game.

“I call it ‘Ale Mary’!” he says proudly.

Reggie has a beer stein filled to the top and pretends to drink it while he slowly shakes his head from side to side to warn me.

Marty begins explaining the rules for this year’s Super Bowl Sqaures Pool. Every year, Marty adds new rules, making the pool more and more complicated. This year involves buying a “tradable” square that can only be traded at the two minute warning of each half. You then pick the total points of the game before that number

is divided by the jersey number of the player scoring the final points and adding the insterscting numbers from where the last field goal is kicked, minus the yardage of the game’s first penalty. No one ever understands how to win. We all just give Marty $50 each for our squares. The doorbell rings.

More fans. Marty puts in his mouthgaurd and runs off to find his wife. As soon as he is gone, we form a huddle.

“Okay, old-school betting,” I say, looking up at the other bettors. “Brady and Belichick are in it to make history. Pats by 12!” I turn to Reggie.

“Matty Ice is from Boston College.

New England still loves him. Falcons by 7,” Reggie says and turns to Stan.

“The way the Patriots beat down the Steelers to win the conference – New England by 7!” Stan declares and looks to Doc. “Patriots are favored, but Falcons are hungry. Contrarian theory – Falcons by 10,” Doc explains and points at Hal. Hal, who rarely watches football, gives his prediction. “Giselle gained 2 pounds last week after eating a piece of Muenster and a cupcake, but then, after a rigorous week of pilates and runway practice – worked off 5 pounds. Net result: minus 3 pounds.

Happy wife, happy life. Patriots by 3!”

We all give Reggie the money to hold then yell, “Hit! Hard!”clap and break the huddle.

Back then, all roughness was necessary – that’s why they called it football. If Butkus played today, they would have to keep him on the sidelines – in a cage.

The camera cuts to Joe Buck. Everyone in the room boos.

“That guy only roots for the team that is ahead!” someone says.

“It is a physical impossibility for him to ever be quiet for more than two seconds!” another voices.

I never understand how, with the entire world hating Joe Buck, he ends up as the play-by-play guy for every major sporting event. I reflect back on the classic broadcasts of Frank Gifford and Al Michaels and Pat Summerall.

I wonder if 20 years from now, my sons will hate some broadcaster that goes by the name “DJ Blitz” and wax nostalgic for the good old days of Joe Buck.

We all stand silently, our right hands over our hearts and listen to “The Star Spangled Banner,” uncontrollable excitement building. The Blue Angels flyover exactly as the singer belts out “… and the home of the brave!” Everyone in the room cheers, and another American tradition is underway.

What’s new in cruises

By BETH J. HARPAZ

A

The Associated Press

demand for more in-depth experiences – from learning how to scuba dive to dining in a private home in port – are shaping what’s new in the cruise industry this year. Other cruise news: a boom in Alaska trips, a few precious sailings to Cuba and potentially game-changing new technology.

High seas, high tech

Princess Cruises will debut a coin-sized medallion in November aboard the Regal Princess that could dramatically change guest experiences. Passengers will carry or wear the medallion, which will direct them to their cabins, unlock their doors as they approach and alert crew members to their schedules and preferences, whether it’s a class they’ve signed up for or a favorite cocktail. It also will streamline getting on and off the ship.

Alaska

Alaska expects 1.06 million cruise passengers this year, likely breaking its 2008 record of 1.03 million visits. The Alaska Travel Industry Association says larger ships are bringing more visitors, and destinations such as Sitka, Juneau and Icy Strait Point have built out piers to accommodate bigger vessels.

Smaller ships are simultaneously expanding service, specializing in more remote destinations the bigger ships can’t reach.

Holland America Line marks its 70th year of exploring Alaska with the redeployment of its Oosterdam ship from Europe to Alaska. Seabourn, a small-ship line, returns to Alaska in June for the first time in 15 years. Lindblad launches a new ship, National Geographic Quest, whose itineraries will include Alaska. Carnival Miracle will do a 14-day round-trip to Alaska from Long Beach, California, that will include Carnival Cruise Line’s first call at Icy Strait Point. Crystal Cruises, which last summer sailed the largest luxury passenger vessel ever through the Northwest Passage, offers a repeat trip from Anchorage on Aug. 15.

In 2018, Norwegian Cruise Line will launch Norwegian Bliss, a ship custom-built for Alaska trips.

Cuba

Long-term prospects for travel from the U.S. to Cuba remain uncertain under the new presidential administration. But for now, a number of cruises are scheduled through spring. Havana is on the itinerary for sailings from Florida in April and May aboard Royal Caribbean’s Empress of the Seas, and in May on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Sky. The Fathom brand continues seven-night sailings to Cuba every other week through May.

New experiences onboard and onshore

Royal Caribbean is the only cruise line offering scuba-diving certification through the Professional Association of Diving Instructors. Passengers begin the course at home online, continue lessons in a ship pool and finish with four mandatory open-water dives in ports of call.

Carnival Cruise Line is offering longer sailings of nine to 15 days with options for more immersive and

This May 2, 2016, photo shows the Adonia cruise ship arriving in Havana, Cuba, from Miami. The Adonia, operated by Carnival Corporation’s Fathom brand, is scheduled to continue cruises to Cuba every other week through the last week in May. Havana also is on the itinerary for sailings from Florida in April and May aboard Royal Caribbean’s Empress of the Seas ship and in May on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Sky. adventurous experiences beyond beaches and bars.

Passengers might visit a school in Mexico or get a home-cooked meal at a private house in Jamaica.

“People are looking for meaningful experiences,” Carnival spokeswoman Jennifer De La Cruz said.

MSC Cruises launches a wellness experience in April with personalized health assessments and fitness programs, along with a Weight Watchers cruise from Miami to the Caribbean in May. Princess is expanding Discovery at Sea offerings for kids with new programming such as MythBusters science activities and destination-themed programs on culture and nature. Princess also is featuring a new show, “Born to Dance,” produced with famed composer Stephen Schwartz, paying tribute to Broadway’s greatest choreographers and dancers.

Holland America Line’s new programs include cooking shows and workshops in partnership with “America’s Test Kitchen,” plus Rijksmuseum at Sea, with interactive displays about the famed Amsterdam museum as a tie-in to the cruise line’s Dutch heritage.

HAL also just has rolled out a partnership with BBC Earth, with games, activities and live concerts during screenings showing wildlife and wilderness.

Norwegian Cruise Line has opened a new private destination in southern Belize called Harvest Caye with a beach, villas for daily rental, a lagoon for canoeing and kayaking, and “Flighthouse” with a zip line, ropes course and more. The port also makes it easy for guests to explore Belize on shore excursions.

Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 this year offers trans-Atlantic cruises themed on space exploration and fashion.

Disney Cruise Line will offer Marvel Day at Sea

programs featuring Marvel Comics characters in activities, shows, parties and films on seven sailings on Disney Magic from New York City this fall.

New ships

In November, Royal Caribbean debuted the world’s largest cruise ship, Harmony of the Seas, with a 5,479-passenger capacity, two 10-story enclosed dry slides and an escape game room.

This year Viking Cruises adds two more ocean-going ships, Viking Sky and Viking Sun, with the Sun embarking on Viking’s first-ever world cruise, 141 days long, in December. Viking also is adding two new river ships, Viking Herja and Viking Hild.

Crystal Cruises not only launches two new river ships this summer, Crystal Bach and Crystal Mahler, but the cruise line is debuting AirCruises on a private Boeing jet that will take guests around the world, starting with a 27-day, $159,000 trip. “The world is getting wealthier and the wealthy want to travel,” Crystal CEO Edie Rodriguez said.

Silversea Cruises launches Silver Muse in April with eight dining venues including a jazz club and Hot Rocks, where guests can cook their own meat, fish and vegetables tableside. Silversea’s refurbishment of Silver Cloud as an ice-class expedition ship will be done in November, in time for 11 Antarctic and eight Arctic trips in 2018.

In July, American Queen Steamboat launches American Duchess, the first contemporary boutique paddle-wheeler vessel built for Mississippi River cruises. The company already operates American Queen on the Mississippi and American Empress in the Pacific Northwest.

Quilling: Paper craft lends elegance to Valentine’s cards

By JENNIFER FORKER The Associated Press

Want to add a little panache to your Valentine’s Day cards? Learn how to roll a few quilling shapes – hearts, teardrops and petals, for starters – to convey your love.

Quilling – an ancient craft also known as paper filigree – doesn’t require any special tools to get started. It’s essentially the rolling of narrow strips of paper to make simple shapes for use in artwork and handmade cards. Complementary techniques have developed over time, such as delicately cut and curled or fringed flowers.

A quilled card she received several years ago fascinated Kari Cronbaugh-Auld of Olathe, Kansas, so she got to experimenting – and then perfecting – her craft. Today, she sells handmade cards and other gifts at her online Etsy shop, Quillique. Wedding invitations framed by intricate, quilled details are a top-seller for her.

“It looks easy, but it’s time-intensive,” said Cronbaugh-Auld, a social worker and grant writer who quills in her spare time.

A simple Valentine’s Day card – one heart or a few scrolls – is a good project

Cronbaugh-Auld, who is self-taught, recommends picking up a quilling kit at a craft store and watching tutorials on YouTube. Quilling books include supply lists and basic techniques.

Their paper filigree – created by wrapping thin paper strips around a feather quill – replicated ironwork patterns of the day.

During the Victorian era, well-heeled young ladies learned quilling in addition to needlework. The craft traveled to the Americas, where it was used to decorate cabinets, cribbage boards and picture frames, Cronbaugh-Auld said.

“Hundreds of years ago, quilling was done by people who wanted to make decorative things for their homes,” said Hannah Milman, a Martha Stewart Living contributing editor.

Decades before she wrote about quilling for Martha Stewart Living magazine, Milman quilled paper beads as a child. She strung them on elastic thread to make necklaces.

“I never knew it was quilling,” Milman recalls.

Milman fondly recalls using the glossy pages of her parents’ New Yorker

magazines. “It was such perfect paper and smooth. It rolled up really well,” she said.

A reuse-and-recycle advocate, Milman recommends cutting one’s own quilling strips – 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch widths are common – with scissors, paper cutter or shredder. Scrapbook and construction papers are too thick, but simple white craft paper works well, Milman said. Dye it, splatter it with paint – make it your own.

She recommends “going big.”

Although quilling traditionally was a delicate craft for small projects, Milman now sees it used in home decor. For parties, decorate with giant coils instead of the ubiquitous tissue-paper pompoms, or quill a giant wall heart.

Think outside of traditional quilling colors, too, she said. For Valentine’s Day, insert some silver in among the pinks and reds. When you get more involved in quilling, Cronbaugh-Auld said, there are more tools that might help, many that cross over from scrapbooking and other crafts.

The key ingredient? Patience.

“It’s like learning how to knit or crochet. When you start out, you have to be patient with yourself,” Cronbaugh-Auld said.
