Houses have many temperatures I take weather seriously. In another life, I would be a meteorologist and be quite content working for the National Weather Service, tracking storms and whatnot.

We have more thermometers at home than I realized: four indoor, three outdoor, one in the garage and one in the attic.

The one in the attic is easily explained and never seen. I put the garage thermometer in the attic when I was insulating it a number of years ago during a hot, sunny August week. It was 150 degrees in the attic, brutally hot up there. In my haste to get the job done, I left the thermometer behind.

I’m always curious as to how hot it gets in the garage in the summer, and it’s usually 10 or 20 degrees hotter than it is outside. I don’t do anything with that information. I just have it. I know it’s not as hot as the attic, and it’s hotter than it is outside, and that just proves how much a difference insulation makes, since our garage has none.

The first indoor thermometer came with our house, which was built in 1960. It’s the thermostat for the furnace and air-conditioner, and it never registers an accurate temperature. You have to raise it a few degrees warmer than it really is in the winter and a few degrees cooler than it really is in the summer.

We know that because we have three other indoor thermometers. And one is next to the thermostat, and it’s digital, and I swear, it is accurate. That one is from La Crosse Technologies.

Another thermometer is in the Middle Room, and it’s small and simple, and I picked it up somewhere 20 or 25 years ago. It seems to keep an accurate temperature, although I won’t vouch for the humidity it records. We also have a weather radio in the room, and it receives constant weather updates for the area and can be particularly useful for storm advisories. There’s something wrong with it, as you can barely hear the voice behind the static.

The last indoor thermometer is in our bedroom on the north end of the house, the farthest point from the furnace and air-conditioner. It’s digital and very small, but it, too, is accurate, and it proves to us just how cold our bedroom

VIEWS Dick Peterson gets in the winter and how warm it stays in the summer, usually by 4 or 5 degrees. We can tell it’s warm or cool, but it’s good to know it’s not our imaginations at work.

We have a thermometer outside our bedroom window, and really, it’s not much for accuracy.

It gives you a general idea what the temperature is, but that’s about it. I’d take it down, but that’s too much work, and sometimes, close is good enough.

The thermometer outside the kitchen window on the west side of the house came with the house, and I think it has real mercury in it, not the fake, diluted kind of mercury I suspect bulb thermometers have now. Real mercury, a toxin, gives you an accurate reading of the temperature, that is until the sun hits it. Then all bets are off.

The third thermometer is part of the La Crosse Technologies indoor thermometer. It is tucked under the eave on the north side of our house, and by radio waves or magic, it sends a signal to the unit in the house, telling you what the temperature is outside, and it’s accurate.

But the problem was, it didn’t work. Not for a couple of years. I did what I could to make it work, but nothing happened. Then, just the other day, it started registering the temperature. I was amazed and confounded.

The tradeoff seems to be in the La Crosse clock, which is somehow connected with the atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. It now gives time for the eastern time zone. Not sure how to fix that, either. But I’ll settle for the bargain this fancy thermometer gives me: a 24-hour accurate measure of the outside temperature.

KOWNICK VS. COSLER Cary village trustee takes on incumbent mayor

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – While incumbent Cary Mayor Mark Kownick said he’s succeeded in making the village a destination, challenger Cary Trustee Jim Cosler said he doesn’t think the village has been promoted enough to businesses.

The two candidates will face off in the April 4 consolidated election.

Cosler, who was elected as a writein trustee candidate in 2015, said that if elected, he would devote more time to promoting the village.

“It’s really important for our economic development because we need to bring in more sales taxes,” Cosler said.

Although the focus on revitalizing Cary’s downtown has been good, Cosler said, more help should be given to businesses outside of the downtown.

Cosler said he’d push for businesses that Cary doesn’t have – including more retail stores – and not settle by accepting any business proposal for properties that have been vacant for a while.

Kownick also suggested bringing in more business to increase the property tax base, and both candidates thought a large retailer or grocery store could be ideal for the Selke property, located on the south side of the intersection of Route 14 and Jandus Cutoff Road.

Kownick, who was appointed as a trustee in 2009 to fill a vacancy and was elected mayor in 2013, said his consistent leadership can help the village continue to move forward.

He also would look at annexation options to increase the village’s tax base, and see through several ongoing projects, including the completion of the Metra train station, downtown streetscape improvements and Sage Products’ expansion.

Through his time in office, Kownick said the village has reduced fees to make it easier for businesses to come to Cary, reinstated a facade improvement grant program and a low-interest loan program. Those are programs businesses outside of the downtown also can take advantage of, he said, but investment in the downtown is key.

core, because when you invest in your downtown, that gives strength in the rest of the economy of our town,” Kownick said.

Cary has seen a handful of controversial projects brought before the board in the past, most recently including the Pedcor affordable living project and the approval of an updated agreement with Meyer Material.

Cosler was the leader of a group opposing Pedcor’s Garden Place Apartments project, an apartment complex at First and Pearl streets that drew hundreds to Village Board meetings.

“I think I’ve been really clear that the processes and procedures used were flawed,” Cosler said. “That’s been my stance all along.”

Cosler said people did not have a

voice in the Pedcor approval process, and maintaining transparency and communication with residents is something he’s devoted much of his time to in the past few years, partially through the Cary Connection Facebook page he runs.

When considering projects, Cosler said he always will take resident’s input into consideration. He’s proud of helping start the streaming of village meetings on YouTube, and said that if elected he’d continue the transparency through upgrading meeting streaming and put out regular mayoral reports so residents and staff know what the mayor has been working on.

Kownick has maintained the village has been transparent with the Pedcor approval process from the

start. The property is privately owned, he said, and gives working-class people the chance to thrive in an upscale community.

The project also was heavily vetted by village staff, Kownick said, and he visited Pedcor’s properties in Waukegan and Crystal Lake and saw they were well-maintained. Much of the misinformation on the apartments came from what people shared and read online, Kownick said, and he encourages anyone to talk to him directly if they have questions.

“I sat through every single one of those meetings, and I encouraged dialogue, and I listened to them,” Kownick said of the Pedcor process. “But it

Schools respond to lead water testing mandate

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – WoodstockSchool District 200 tested its water sources in the fall to make sure there was no lead contamination.

Because of a new law, Superintendent Michael Moan said, they will once again test in the spring.

A new law enacted by the state earlier this year requires certain Illinois schools to test drinking water sources for lead and notify parents of the results. According to the law, elementary schools and day care centers built before 1987 must have testing completed by the end of this year, while schools built from 1987 to 2000 have until Dec. 31, 2018.

Several McHenry County schools are aware of this law and plan to meet those requirements.

Tim Mahaffy, Fox River Grove District 3 superintendent, said they are looking at quotes, and he plans to get both District 3 schools tested over the summer.

“We don’t think we’re going to have an issue because we have very few, if any, old ones,” Mahaffy said. “Over the years, we’ve been replacing them with brandnew ones as far as water fountains and drinking sources.”

Mahaffy said he’s not opposed to the unfunded mandate, and it’s up to the district to make sure whoever they choose to test the water follows the new law’s guidelines.

“We’ll find out if it is necessary for our district,” Mahaffy said. “If we come back H. Rick Bamman - hbamman@shawmedia.com and have to replace some things, then I’ll Water streams from a newer drinking fountain at Fox River Grove Middle School. Ilbe glad we spent the money to do it.”

Franks wants McHenry County to reduce tax levy by 10 percent

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks wants a committee to work with county officials to trim at least $7.93 million from the 2018 property tax levy – a 10 percent cut that could affect what services the county provides to residents.

Franks is proposing an ad-hoc Committee on Tax Reduction work with County Administrator Peter Austin to put together a series of proposals by June 30 to make the levy reduction possible, according to a draft resolution discussed Thursday at a Committee of the Whole meeting. The committee’s recommendations would eventually be used to craft the 2018 budget.

The draft resolution will next go to the Finance and Audit Committee on April 6 before heading to the full board for approval. Franks said the he wants to build consensus for the plan. He said the draft resolution could be amended before it gets to the county board next month.

“This didn’t sneak up on anybody.

There are multiple ways that this can be approached. I think we have to balance the enthusiasm that folks have for this against some of the practical challenges,” County Administrator Peter Austin said. “As staff, our [job] is to

McHenry County administrator give you options and to give you some ideas on impacts and paths that you can take. And we are prepared to do that. We’ve spent time already thinking about ramifications and different options.”

County Board member Michael Walkup said he wasn’t sure the resolution would take the board in the right direction.

“I think pulling arbitrary numbers out of the air may be good politics, but I’m not so sure it’s good government,” the District 3 representative said.

He also raised concerns about making cuts to county’s social safety net in light of what’s happening at the federal level.

“I think we need to be very careful

here about protecting the people here who are most vulnerable,” Walkup said. “When you set arbitrary numbers, those are usually the first people to get axed because those are the ones that have the least constituency.”

Franks said the 10 percent levy reduction wasn’t arbitrary, but rather a minimum goal. He said he was confident that goal could be reached and that the county could possibly go further than that.

Board member Michael Skala, of District 5, wasn’t opposed to the end result, but said he thinks there is be a better way to achieve it. He said the board should first come to a consensus on issues such as if a levy reduction was preferred to an abatement. He also said the board should start by determining what county services should be offered.

“It’s going to change what county government today looks like,” he said.

“We have to understand the ramifications of making cuts to any one area and what the service level or what the outcomes are going to be.”

Craig Wilcox, of District 4, said the board shouldn’t just look at cuts to the about $79 million the county gets from property taxes, but the entire $252 million budget.

“It’s not just property taxes we have to look at,” he said.

Some schools that aren’t affected by this law are still testing for lead. Dan Armstrong, director of communications and public engagement for Huntley School District 158, said the district’s buildings that are pre-K through fifth grade were built after 2000, and therefore, aren’t required by the law to test. Regardless, Armstrong said the district continues to proactively samples its water quality from each of its schools.

“We have been looking at a couple of different options, one of which is through our Cooperative Liability Insurance. We have been receiving a lot of sales calls and vendor letters,” Damisch said.

Damisch estimates the sampling cost will be about $45 to $50 per water source, which there are about 25 that need to be checked. She said regardless

Lake Elementary District 47 director of operations, said all the district schools started testing in December before the law being passed.

“We wanted to be proactive and make sure we’re doing things right to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff,” Schuh said.

Schuh said the district has spent $25,000 on water testing since last December, which doesn’t include replacing sinks and faucets if those need to be replaced down the line.

“We’re watching the legislation right now to make sure we’re compliant, so we’re going to monitor the new legislature and make sure we comply before the deadlines are up,” Schuh said.

“We strongly believe this new legislation serves to benefit our students and staff, which is great, but at the same time it does place a financial burden on us and other school districts since it is an unfunded mandate,” Schuh added.

Harvard Community Unit School District 50 is in the process of doing their testing and collecting samples.

Area families gather for fort-building contest

Forts on the Courts a success for racket club, manager says

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – It started with a rhyme and snowballed from there.

Crystal Lake Park District hosted its first – and hopefully annual – Forts on the Courts event Saturday. Families from around McHenry County came out to The Racket Club to spend the evening building elaborate structures made from cardboard, duct tape, fabric, bubble wrap, wrapping paper and whatever else would be a good addition the creations.

“We didn’t even know what we were going to make,” said Sarah Wilson, 12, of Cary, who was with several of her friends at the event.

The team was constructing a barn-themed fort, complete with a cardboard horse head that stuck out of the building and animals decorated on it.

“At first we were going to do a house-type thing, but then the roof started sagging in, and it kind of had the barn shape, so we went along with that,” said teammate Katie Hornok, 12, of Cary. “Everyone else is doing castles and stuff, so we are trying to be different.”

The park district wanted to plan an event to bring

“We have long wanted to bring people here for a variety of activities,” he said. “Participants are almost entirely people that aren’t members of the club, so in that sense we really reached our goal and then some.”

Sixteen teams competed, and the district had to turn people away because of space concerns, he said. Next time, he hopes to open the competition to at least 30 teams.

“We want to appeal to families,” he said. “This is the kind of niche we want to get into with tennis. Kids can play it, and families can play it.

MCHENRY – U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, announced he is accepting applications for summer 2017 internships in his Washington, D.C., Campton Hills and forthcoming McHenry office.

The position is unpaid and will run about from May through August. Academic credit Rep. Randy may be available and Hultgren schedules can be flexible for those with classes or other obligations. Applicants from the 14th Congressional District are preferred. Applications are due by March 31.

“During my time in Congressman Hultgren’s office, I wrote letters to concerned constituents, conducted policy research for staff members, [gave] tours of the Capitol to fantastic people from the 14th District, and drafted a short speech that the Congressman delivered on the House floor,” said Tebo Molosiwa, a recent intern.

“Attending House and Senate hearings, learning about the history of the nation’s capital and staffing a meeting with the Hong Kong Commissioner for Economic and Trade Affairs were just a few of the unforgettable moments I enjoyed in the office. I had the privilege to see the legislative process from the inside, and met fascinating people who I would not have otherwise been fortunate enough to meet; the entire experience has been invaluable.”

Applicants should be college students or recent graduates. They will assist staff with constituent relations, policy and outreach efforts. Many duties will be administrative in nature, but interns may also be asked to staff Congressman Hultgren at meetings in the district or assist legislative staff in Washington.

Applicants should email a résumé, cover letter and writing sample to IL14. interncoordinator@mail.house.gov and specify whether they seek a position for the Washington, D.C., Campton Hills or the forthcoming McHenry office.

Markets Change.

A snapshot of McHenry County history Photo provided by the McHenry County Historical Society

Racing horses on the frozen Fox River was a popular winter sport in the late 1800s. The horses had to have special shoes nailed onto their hooves so they would not slip on the ice. The little sleighs, like the one seen here, was called a “cutter.” On occasion a driver could reach up to 25 mph. Since there were no snowplows in those days, such sleighs often were used when area streets became snow-covered or iced over. Community streets that were chocked full of snow often saw large barrel-like rollers pulled by horses. Their effect was to pack the snow down so the cutters could move along the streets.

••• Join retired Augustana College geography professor Norm Moline at 7 p.m. Monday as he marks the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary and delves into the effect it’s had on countless generations. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, 6422 Main St. in Union. What began in 1916 with 35 national parks and monuments, under the watchful eyes of President Woodrow Wilson, has grown into nearly 400 parks scattered across all 50 states and its territories.

DUBLIN – Members of the DeKalb High School Marching Barbs fulfilled two years’ worth of planning and practice as they marched in the 2017 St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Friday.

An estimated crowd of 500,000 people lined the parade route through the center of Dublin, past Trinity College and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, finishing just before St. Stephen’s Green. In addition to the crowd, viewers tuned in from around the world, including many at DeKalb High School. The 100 band members left DeKalb on Sunday and have spent the week awed by many of the things they’ve experienced. “[I’m] excited,” senior Franny Plagwitz said before the start of the parade. “Kind of tired, but excited to play with my friends. I’m excited to see the other bands. I saw a Bahamas high school band – I didn’t even know they had high school bands in the Bahamas. It’s really cool.” She estimated that she’d had only about six hours of sleep the night before.

Her sister, Misha, agreed. “I’m cold but excited to be in my first parade abroad,” she said. “I’ve seen people from all over the world here. It’s been

Joseph Laskowski, a junior baritone player, said he was so eager to perform Friday that he only slept for four hours the night before.

“I had anxiety,” Laskowski said. “I was pumped for today. It’s a big thing for me.”

“I am so ready,” said Emily Lundin, the color guard instructor. She said despite the long journey and long days, “they got up, they were ready to go. They had all of their uniform parts last night when we checked and everybody seems really excited. I think they’ve been very accommodating here in Ireland, and in general, I think Julia Spahn for Shaw Media the kids have enjoyed the food so far.”

Metra to begin second round of railcar rehabilitation effort

CRYSTAL LAKE – Metra has begun its next round of railcar rehab after completing rehabilitation on its first 176.

The first round of the rehabilitation program cost $115 million and began in 2010. The second round will involve the rehabilitation of 302 Nippon Sharyo railcars that were delivered to Metra between 2002 and 2008. The program is projected to repair about 35 cars a year through 2020. At that time, Metra will expand the facility and will be able to rehab 60 cars annually.

The cost to rehab the cars is about $700,000 each.

“We are extremely proud of this program and the workers who have made it such a huge success,” Metra Executive Director/CEO Don Orseno said. “Not only does it produce likenew railcars thanks to our highly skilled workers, but we keep jobs and investment right here in the Chicago area. It’s truly a win-win program.”

In the program, each car will be outfitted with new amenities such as

Steve Lundin said the trip has gone very well.

“I think the kids went into it not really knowing what to expect,” he said.

“It’s been kind of nice to see how many kids enjoyed some of the historic stuff,

because, I think, in general when it’s in a book it’s not as exciting. When they see it in real life, it’s actually really cool.”

Lundin said students were impressed with the castles they visited, but “some were too afraid to kiss the Blarney stone.”

“There were a few that I’d hope would kiss it, because there are a few that could use [the gift of gab], but that didn’t happen,” he said.

Cosler, who works as an airline pilot, said he hopes when people go to vote, they’ll remember their input matters, and people need to be brought back into the processes of government.

“If we can do that, if we can keep people informed, there’s going to be so much less contention in our community – and with that gone, we’ll be able to

Kownick, who is the president and CEO of Action Building Maintenance Corp. in Cary, said he’s engaged with the community and has the best interests at heart for Cary.

“We need leaders that can see through the trees to enjoy the forest and make sure that things are being taken care of and that the entire village is being represented, and I think I’ve demonstrated that,” Kownick said.

“Roll Over Beethoven” was an anthem to rock’s history-making power, while “Rock and Roll Music” was a guidebook for all bands that followed. “Back in the U.S.A.” was a black man’s straight-faced tribute to his country at a time there was no guarantee Berry would be served at the drive-ins and corner cafés he was celebrating.

Charles Edward Anderson Berry was born in St. Louis on Oct. 18, 1926. As a child he practiced a bent-leg stride that enabled him to slip under tables, a prelude to the duck walk of his adult years. His mother, like Johnny B. Goode’s, told him he would make it, and make it big.

On his 90th birthday last year, Berry disclosed that he would release his first new album in 38 years in 2017, titled simply: “Chuck.” The announcement said it would be composed primarily of new, original songs written, recorded and produced by him.

Guitarist and singer Chuck Berry performs his “duck walk” on April 4, 1980, as he plays his guitar on stage.

On Saturday, police in Missouri said Berry has died at 90.

• Sunday, March 19, 2017

NEW YORK – Chuck Berry, rock ’n’ roll’s founding guitar hero and storyteller who defined the music’s joy and rebellion in such classics as “Johnny B. Goode,” “Sweet Little Sixteen” and “Roll Over Beethoven,” died Saturday at his home west of St. Louis. He was 90.

Emergency responders summoned to Berry’s residence by his caretaker about 12:40 p.m. found him unresponsive, police in Missouri’s St. Charles County said in a statement. Attempts to revive Berry failed, and he was pronounced dead shortly before 1:30 p.m., police said.

Berry’s core repertoire was some three dozen songs, his influence incalculable, from the Beatles and the Rolling Stones to virtually any group from garage band to arena act that called itself rock ’n’ roll.

“Just let me hear some of that rock ’n’ roll music any old way you use it I am playing I’m talking about you. God bless Chuck Berry Chuck,” Beatles drummer Ringo

Starr tweeted, quoting some lyrics from a Berry hit.

While Elvis Presley gave rock its libidinous, hip-shaking image, Berry was the auteur, setting the template for a new sound and way of life.

“Chuck Berry was a rock and roll original. A gifted guitar player, an amazing live performer, and a skilled songwriter whose music and lyrics captured the essence of 1950s teenage life,” The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame said in a statement.

Well before the rise of Bob Dylan, Berry wedded social commentary to the beat and rush of popular music.

“He was singing good lyrics, and intelligent lyrics, in the ’50s when people were singing, “Oh, baby, I love you so,’” John Lennon once observed.

Berry, in his late 20s before his first major hit, crafted lyrics that spoke to the teenagers of the day and remained fresh decades later.

“Sweet Little Sixteen” captured rock ’n’ roll fandom, an early and innocent ode to the young girls later known as “groupies.” “School Day” told of the sing-song trials of

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – New identification cards in Illinois aim to ease interactions between police and people with disabilities.

The “Person with a Disability Wallet Card” is available free from any secretary of state’s driver services facility, The Daily Herald reported.

The cards are given to applicants 16 and older who have been diagnosed with an intellectual, developmental or mental disability, such as autism, epilepsy, anxiety, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Please do not interpret my behavior as refusal to cooperate.” excerpt from Person With a Disability Wallet Card “My medical condition may impair my ability to communicate with others, especially with strangers or in stressful situations,” reads the introduction the identification card.

It goes on to tell authorities, “Please do not interpret my behavior as refusal to cooperate.”

“This should be a great tool,” Aurora police Lt. Mike Abbs said. “The more information we have on people’s abilities and disabilities when we first encounter them, the better we can serve them.”

Charges filed against parents of wounded Chicago toddler

CHICAGO – The parents of a Chicago toddler who accidentally was shot in the head have been charged with crimes related to the shooting and the care of their other children.

Michael D. Riley was charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, possession of a controlled substance and four misdemeanor counts of child endangerment. Twenty-eight-year-old Gwenddolyn Holloway was charged with child endangerment.

Authorities said 3-year-old Jamere Riley was shot accidentally while playing cops and robbers Thursday and was in critical condition. The boy was the youngest of at least four children left home unsupervised in an apartment without heat or hot water. The other children found in the home are with the state’s child-welfare agency.

Court records show the 34-year-old Riley has an extensive criminal record with at least five felony drug convictions and more than 40 arrests.

Democratic Rep. Stephanie Kifowit of Oswego and Democratic Sen. Linda Holmes of Aurora.

“This card will serve as a tool to foster communication between the public and our first responders,” Kifowit said. “Hopefully it will de-escalate any stressful situation, it will help first responders do their jobs, and in essence it will keep our loved ones safe.”

The state has printed 100,000 Person with a Disability Wallet Cards, but Kifowit said officials don’t know how many cards have been handed out since becoming available Jan. 2.

Paris attacker said he wanted to die for Allah

By NICOLAS GARRIGA and JOHN LEICESTER The Associated Press

ORLY, France – Yelling that he wanted to kill and die for Allah, a suspected Islamic extremist attacked a French soldier Saturday morning at Paris’ Orly Airport and wrested away her assault rifle, a French prosecutor said. Two colleagues on her patrol shot and killed the man before he could fire the military-grade weapon in the busy airport terminal.

The attack forced the airport’s terminals to shut down and evacuate, sent passengers and workers fleeing in panic and trapped hundreds of others aboard flights that had just landed.

It was the violent climax of what authorities described as a 90-minute spree of destructive criminality across the French capital by the suspect, identified as Ziyed Ben Belgacem.

The attack further rattled France, which remains under a state of emergency after attacks over the past two years that have killed 235 people.

Orly, Paris’ second-biggest airport behind Charles de Gaulle, has both domestic and international flights and the 8:30 a.m. assault brought its operations to a screeching halt.

Stopped first by police in Paris’ northern suburbs early Saturday for driving too fast and without lights in a small Renault, the 39-yearold Frenchman opened fire with a revolver loaded with bird shot, injuring an officer in the face, authorities said.

He then fled by car to a bar that he frequented regularly and where he had already stopped a few hours earlier and again opened fire. No one was injured.

Finally, in another car stolen at gunpoint, he parked at Orly. A few minutes later, he hurled himself at three soldiers on patrol in its South Terminal, throwing a bag with a gas can at the floor and wielding his 9 mm revolver, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said.

“With a pistol in his right hand and a bag over his shoulder, he grabbed (the soldier) with his left arm, made her move backward by three to four meters, positioning her as a shield, and pointed his revolver at her forehead,” Molins said.

According to soldiers, the attacker yelled: “Put down your weapons! Put your hands on your head! I am here to die for Allah. Whatever happens, there will be deaths,” Molins said.

In a struggle, the attacker managed to wrest free the captive soldier’s Famas assault rifle and sling it over his shoulder. Molins said video surveillance footage appeared to show that Belgacem was “determined to see the process through to the end.”

“Everything suggests that he wanted to take the Famas so there would be deaths and to shoot people,” he said.

In between the moments when he ducked behind his hostage, the two other soldiers fired three bursts, eight rounds in all, that killed the attacker, Molins said.

“Her two comrades thought it was necessary – and they were right – to open fire to protect her and especially to protect all the people who were around,” French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said.

Le Drian had said the soldier kept hold of her weapon. Molins said while she did wrestle it back from Belgacem at one point, he managed to snatch it off her in the end.

Witnesses described panicked bystanders fleeing, flights halting, traffic chaos and planes under lockdowns. Traffic was jammed near the airport and people wheeled suitcases down the road.

Authorities said at least 3,000 people were evacuated from the airport. Hundreds of passengers also were confined for several hours aboard 13 flights that were blocked in landing areas, and 15 other flights were diverted to Charles de Gaulle Airport.

GOP at odds over how to overhaul Medicaid

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR

ed Medicaid.

If states choose a per-beneficiary cap or a block grant, they would not have to take a complete plunge.

Initially such limits would apply only to spending for able-bodied adults, including people covered through expanded Medicaid. It would be up to each state to decide whether to accept caps or block grants for sensitive groups of beneficiaries, including children, pregnant women, and elderly and disabled adults.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The House GOP health care bill has competition from other Republicans, a group of governors who’ve made their own proposal about how to overhaul Medicaid for low-income people. They’re hoping GOP senators will find their ideas more persuasive.

It’s a gradual approach, with additional options for states. It’s likely to involve more federal spending than the House bill, but also keep more people covered. In the end, though, the governors are still talking about fundamental change.

Four GOP governors are pushing the plan, saying they represent most of the 33 Republican state chief executives. There’s no inkling of any involvement by Democratic governors, and it’s hard to conceive of such major changes without them.

Medicaid is a federal-state program that covers more than 70 million low-income people, about 1 in 5 Americans. Beneficiaries range from elderly nursing home residents to newborns.

Former President Barack Obama expanded the program in his health care law, to mainly help low-income adults with no children living at home. About half the 31 states that accepted the expansion have Republican governors.

The House Republican bill would start by repealing Obama’s Medicaid expansion. More significantly, it would limit overall federal spending on Medicaid going forward. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says the proposal would result in a cut of $880 billion from projected Medicaid spending from 2017 to 2026. By that year, 14 million fewer people would have Medicaid coverage, and program spending would be about 25 percent lower than what’s currently projected.

The House approach “provides almost no new flexibility for states, does not ensure the resources necessary to make sure no one is left out, and shifts significant new costs to states,” Republican Govs. John Kasich of Ohio, Rick Snyder of Michigan, Brian Sandoval of

Trump says U.S. ‘must be paid more’ to defend Germany

By KEN THOMAS and JILL COLVIN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Saturday that Germany owes “vast sums of money” to NATO and the U.S. “must be paid more” for providing defense, reiterating his stance that European allies need to meet their end of the bargain if they

are to continue benefiting from the military alliance.

Trump’s tweet from his Florida resort, where he is spending the weekend, came the day after his first meeting with Germany’s leader.

“Despite what you have heard from the FAKE NEWS, I had a GREAT meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel,” the president wrote. “Never-

theless, Germany owes ... vast sums of money to NATO & the United States must be paid more for the powerful, and very expensive, defense it provides to Germany!”

Trump and Merkel tried to sidestep their differences in their meeting at the White House on Friday, but it was punctuated by some awkward moments.

During a photo op in the Oval Office,

the two did not shake hands before reporters. Later, during a joint news conference, Trump pushed back against the notion in Europe that his “America First” agenda means he’s an isolationist, calling such a suggestion “another example of, as you say, fake news.” And he referred to the United States as “a very powerful company,” before quickly correcting that to “country.”

21-year-old student from Coconut Creek, Florida “That’s who we voted for. And obviously America wanted him more than Hillary Clinton,” said Rebecca Gallardo, a 30-year-old nursing student from Kansas City, Missouri, who voted for Trump.

Trump’s legitimacy as president was questioned earlier this year by Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga.: “I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected. And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton.”

Trump routinely denies that and says he captured the presidency in large part by winning states such as Michigan and Wisconsin that Clinton may have taken for granted.

Non-Hispanic whites are expected to be a minority by 2044.

Of all of Trump’s tweets and rhetoric, the statements about Mexicans are the ones to which Anderson returns.

He says Trump’s business background on paper is impressive enough to qualify him for the presidency. But he suggests that’s different than Trump earning legitimacy as president.

“I’m thinking, he’s saying that most of the people in the world who are raping and killing people are the immigrants. That’s not true,” said Anderson, whose parents are from Jamaica.

Megan Desrochers, a 21-year-old student from Lansing, Michigan, says her sense of Trump’s illegitimacy is more about why he was elected.

“I just think it was kind of a situation where he was voted in based on his celebrity status versus his ethics,” she said, adding that she is not necessarily against Trump’s immigration policies.

The poll participants said in interviews that they don’t necessarily vote for one party’s candidates over another’s, a prominent tendency among young Americans, experts say. And in the survey, neither party fares especially strongly.

WASHINGTON – Jermaine Anderson keeps going back to the same memory of Donald Trump, then a candidate for president of the United States, referring to some Mexican immigrants as rapists and murderers.

“You can’t be saying that [if] you’re the president,” said Anderson, a 21-year-old student from Coconut Creek, Florida.

That Trump is undeniably the nation’s 45th president doesn’t sit easily with young Americans like Anderson who are the nation’s increasingly diverse electorate of the future, according to a new poll. A majority of young adults – 57 percent – see Trump’s presidency as illegitimate, including about three-quarters of blacks and large majorities of Latinos and Asians, the GenForward poll found.

GenForward is a poll of adults age 18 to 30 conducted by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

A slim majority of young whites in the poll, 53 percent, consider Trump a legitimate president, but even among that group 55 percent disapprove of the job he’s doing, according to the survey.

Trump’s rhetoric as a candidate and his presidential decisions have done much to keep the question of who belongs in America atop the news, though he’s struggling to accomplish some key goals. Powered by supporters chanting, “build the wall,” Trump has vowed to erect a barrier along the southern U.S. border and make Mexico pay for it – which Mexico refuses to do. Federal judges in three states have blocked Trump’s executive orders to ban travel to the U.S. from seven – then six – majority-Muslim nations.

In Honolulu, U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson this week cited “significant and unrebutted evidence of religious animus” behind the travel ban, citing Trump’s own words calling for “a complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”

And yes, Trump did say in his campaign announcement speech on June 6, 2015: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best ...

They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” He went farther in subsequent statements, later telling CNN: “Some are good and some are rapists and some are killers.”

It’s extraordinary rhetoric for the leader of a country where by around 2020, half of the nation’s children will

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump’s budget utterly unrealistic Government waste is not a myth. Consider the overlap between President Donald Trump’s newly announced plan for federal spending and President Barack Obama’s last proposed budget. Mr. Obama would have, as Mr. Trump would, eliminated several nice- sounding but dispensable programs, such as the Justice Department’s State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, Agriculture’s Water and Wastewater and Community Facilities Loan Guarantees and the Environmental Protection Agency’s Targeted Air Shed Grants.

If two of the least ideologically similar presidents in history could agree on cutting these items, they should probably be cut – if only to establish the principle that spending is not on autopilot and that the federal government does indeed care about even the minor details of its vast budget, which totaled $3.9 trillion in 2016. Such care for taxpayer funds also could have a positive effect on employee recruitment and morale.

What is a myth, however, is that waste is the fundamental cause of excessive federal debt and deficits. The three programs mentioned above cost less than $1 billion combined. Yet Trump repeatedly has fostered that myth, whether by invoking “management” as a deficit cure during the campaign or by his irresponsible promise to deal with the fiscal future while simultaneously boosting defense spending, massively cutting taxes and protecting Social Security and Medicare.

The plan released by the White House on Thursday did not even claim to address taxes and entitlement programs; it focused exclusively on the $1.1 trillion discretionary budget for fiscal 2018, both non-defense and defense. This emphasis only underscores the folly of keeping revenues and mandatory spending programs out of the discussion, given the need to raise the former and trim the latter. Shifting $54 billion from non-defense discretionary spending to defense, as Trump’s plan would do, required big cuts to vital accounts. The State Department would lose almost 29 percent of its budget, and EPA, 31 percent; the National Institutes of Health would lose close to 20 percent.

As members of both parties on Capitol Hill quickly pointed out, Congress actually writes the budget, so Trump’s statement is relevant mainly for what it indicates about the executive branch’s policy priorities. In that sense, it is remarkably, if unsurprisingly, unrealistic and, as regards the United States’ posture in the world, shortsighted. “America First” reads the title of this document, which calls for spending $2.6 billion on securing the U.S.-Mexico border, including Trump’s wall. Once the uproar over Trump’s misguided, unworkable and essentially demagogic proposal dies down, Congress will have to take up the work of hammering out a real fiscal policy.

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump wiretapping tweet worth investigating When President Donald Trump claimed on Twitter that his predecessor had tapped his phones, he created something of a metaphysical crisis. No one – not the Justice Department, not Congress and least of all the president himself – seemed able to ascertain the truth about the accusation.

Now that they’ve had some time to look into it, what do they say?

“We don’t have any evidence,” says the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee.

“No evidence,” says his Democratic counterpart. “I think you’re going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks,” muses the president, citing no evidence.

Trump’s press secretary now asserts that while the president’s tweets were inaccurate, they nonetheless conveyed a deeper truth about “surveillance and other activities.” The official position of the White House seems to be that Trump’s claim, like Schroedinger’s cat, lies in superposition, simultaneously true and

not true.

It would probably be best to just leave it at that. Except that, in his uncanny way, Trump has stumbled onto a few important questions. For starters: Are federal investigators still probing the Trump campaign’s relationship with the Russian government?

If so, were Trump or his associates ever under any kind of surveillance? If so, did it yield any evidence of wrongdoing?

If intelligence or law-enforcement agencies were lawfully eavesdropping on Trump’s associates, either they had a court order to do so or those associates were in contact with foreign agents who were already under surveillance. Either possibility, to put it mildly, would require some explaining.

That has not been a strong suit of Trump’s White House -- or, for that matter, the rest of the executive branch. The Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees the Federal Bureau of Investigation, says it’s being stonewalled by the

Justice Department. The House Intelligence Committee, which is investigating Russia’s meddling in the election, says the same of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The result of this generalized chaos is that the public has no idea what to think. When Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Nebraska, said that the president has created a “civilization-warping crisis of public trust,” he was exaggerating -- but not by much.

The only thing that can restore that trust is transparency.

The Justice Department must be far more forthcoming with the public about this episode. The White House needs to stop dissembling about it. And Congress should establish an independent commission to publicly investigate it.

“The regular order is not working,” says Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina. He might have been referring to the political universe as once understood.

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.

Support Kane Forest referendum

To the Editor: I support the referendum for the Kane County Forest Preserve District’s land acquisitions. The forest preserves are an open space legacy that requires the purchase of land before development. It takes a long-term view to see the value of these open spaces for future generations.

Elgin received gifts of land for Lords and Wing parks in the late-1800s. The families that made the donations believed those properties on the outskirts of Elgin someday would become parks surrounded by the city that would be enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year.

We as taxpayers have to share the vision of the Forest Preserve District to provide open space, walking trails, and picnic and play areas that will increase recreational opportunities for Elgin residents, by supporting the purchase of the land and its preservation.

Vote for Haig

To the Editor: Do you know Haig Haleblian?

He is a Crystal Lake councilman, owns and operates his flooring business in Crystal Lake, volunteers storage space for the Crystal Lake Food Pantry, works on recycling products and always offers to help in any situation.

I have known Haig for 30 years.

One of his characteristics that I most admire is that he “tells it like it is.” How refreshing.

He also is one of the most honest men I know.

He is a very connected family man and he really cares about Crystal Lake, which includes his family, home and business. It is important to Haig that Crystal Lake thrive and continue to be a great place to live because he has bet everything on this community.

If you want someone who is honest, aware and reachable, vote for Haig.

The Hawaii judge is therefore running together the two different religion clauses of the Constitution. That’s a defensible thing to do on these facts, but it would have been good for him to acknowledge that or else cite both parts of the constitutional guarantee of religious liberty.

Details matter, because the 9th Circuit will probably have to hear an appeal pretty soon. Whether the same panel will hear it depends on an obscure 9th Circuit rule of federal appellate procedure, Rule 28-2.6(c). Appealing parties have to specify whether their appeal is related to another case, which would ordinarily send it to the same panel.

According to the rule, “cases are deemed related if they … raise the same or closely related issues as cases previously heard by the court.”

Of course, whether the issues raised by the second executive order are closely related to the first is itself a contentious question – one on which the outcome of the case might depend. The judge in Hawaii clearly thought the issues were so related that they are nearly identical. The Trump administration will maintain that they aren’t.

Thus, even before hearing the appeal, the 9th Circuit will have to determine whether the same panel will consider it -- and that might provide a broad clue about the potential outcome of the case.

That’s not all. On Wednesday, the same day the Hawaii judge issued his

decision, five judges of the 9th Circuit issued a dissent from denial of rehearing en banc of the first order.

What made that unusual is because the first executive order has been superseded by the second, the court usually wouldn’t bother to rehear the question of its legality. Indeed, that issue is probably moot.

Yet Judge Jay Bybee wanted the court rehear the case in order to vacate the panel’s decision, which he considers bad law. His opinion laid out in detail what the government’s brief should be this time – perhaps because Bybee was dissatisfied with the Department of Justice’s lackluster briefing the last time around.

Bybee’s analysis is powerful and deserves its own treatment. But it’s worth noting briefly that he didn’t thoroughly consider the view that the ban violates the establishment clause rights of Muslims living in the U.S., which is what the Hawaii judge thought.

Bybee’s court will have the task of deciding whether the kind of animus Trump has been directing at its judges taints his executive order on immigration. It’s going to be interesting.

As the saga of President Donald Trump’s ban on travel to the U.S. from six majority-Muslim countries unfolds, a federal judge in Honolulu on Wednesday blocked the operation of the second version of the executive order nationwide. The decision rests on the logic that the second iteration is the same old wine in a new bottle. As a Muslim ban, the court ruled, the executive order violates the establishment clause of the Constitution by sending a message to Muslims that they are disfavored members of the political community.

The stage is now set for a replay at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, which upheld the blockage of the first ban by a federal judge in Seattle. If the appeals court thinks it’s sufficiently similar to the first case, it might even go back to the same three-judge panel. That bodes ill for Trump. Meanwhile at the 9th Circuit, five other judges have taken the unusual step of saying the original panel decision was wrong. This case is just getting started.

The Hawaii district court decision

by Judge Derrick K. Watson mostly followed the blueprint I anticipated while the new executive order was under contemplation and after it was issued. The judge mentioned specifically that Trump’s second order referred to his first. The court noted Trump’s

comments on the Christian Broadcast Network about prioritizing the entry of Christians as well as adviser Rudy Giuliani’s claim to have been asked by Trump to make the Muslim ban legal.

In the key line of the opinion, the judge asserted that what he called the “unique” record in the case “includes significant and unrebutted evidence of religious animus driving the promulgation of the Executive Order and its related predecessor.”

There is one subtle doctrinal twist.

The most important precedent involving unconstitutional religious motivation, Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah, is based on a violation of the free exercise clause of the Constitution, which protects citizens’ rights to freely practice their religion. Yet the Hawaii court relied on the establishment clause to block the law.

Specifically, the court said that the law violated Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s endorsement test: that the government may not send “a message to nonadherents [of a given faith] that they are outsiders, not full members of the political community, and an accompanying message to adherents that they are insiders, favored members of the political community.”

Logically, a law or executive order enacted with religious animus toward Muslims would presumably send such a message. But there’s no clear precedent that says so.

A look at Trump’s many proposed tax changes

With Donald Trump now the 45th President and the Republicans controlling the House and Senate, many tax professionals feel we are likely to see a number of tax changes in the year ahead if his campaign plans FINANCE and promises hold.

Mike Trump’s Piershale campaign website was light on the details, but the following are various tax proposals as set forth on Trump’s campaign site. Here is some of what they have proposed: Federal tax rates and brackets would be simplified down to three versus the current seven today.

Those with a taxable income between $0 and $37,500 ($0 to $75,000 for married filers) would be subject to a 12 percent tax rate, taxable income between $37,500-$112,500 for individuals ($75,000-$225,000 for married filers) would be subject to a 25 percent rate, and those with taxable income above $112,500 ($225,000plus for married filers) would be subject to a 33 percent federal tax rate.

The standard deduction would more than double to $15,000 for single filers to $30,000 for married couples filing jointly while ending personal exemptions.

Itemized deductions would be capped at $100,000 for single filers and $200,000 for married couples filing jointly.

Elimination of the 3.8 percent tax on net investment income on people with incomes (MAGI) of over $200,000 for single filers and $250,000 for married filers.

Tax rates on long-term capital gains would be kept at the current 0 percent, 15 percent and 20 percent.

A full repeal the alternative minimum tax (AMT) and the estate tax. Under existing law, estates valued at more than $5,490,000 are subject to a 40 percent tax rate.

The individual mandate (or Obamacare tax as some call it) would also be repealed in 2017, meaning that penalties would not result if people don’t have health insurance.

All final plans will need to be approved by Congress.

Many times, to get wide scale tax reform passed across all branches of government, there are compromise tax plan agreements.

Our goal is to keep watching these tax changes as they progress.

Telecom policy tilts in favor of industry under Trump’s FCC

By TALI ARBEL

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Trumpism is slowly taking hold on your phone and computer, as the Federal Communications Commission starts rolling back measures that upset the phone and cable industries.

Consumer advocates complain that hard-fought protections on privacy and competition are at risk, though the new regime says consumers win if businesses have incentives to invest.

The changes are small and easily overlooked. But they’re the first shots in what could turn into a fullfledged war over Obama-era “net neutrality” rules, which were designed to keep phone and cable giants from favoring their own internet services and apps.

“Death by a thousand cuts is a constantly overused cliché, but that’s sort of what they’re aiming for right now,” said Matt Wood, the policy director of consumer group Free Press, referring to the Republicans now in power at the FCC.

DEATH TO NET NEUTRALITY

It’s no secret President Donald Trump’s handpicked FCC chief, Ajit Pai, wants to cut regulations that he believes are holding back faster, cheaper internet.

Pai takes special aim at net neutrality rules, which regulate broadband as a utility and bar providers from playing favorites by offering speedier access to, say, their own streaming-video services.

Pai considers these rules a mistake that slows investment in internet infrastructure. His goal is to expand internet access, especially in rural areas where choices are limited.

But an aggressive overhaul of net neutrality could be politically and legally difficult. For a telecom policy, net neutrality is popular with consumers, drawing attention from comedian John Oliver and spurring people to flood the FCC with roughly 4 million comments (not all in support, of course). A federal appeals court upheld the rules in June.

This may explain why the FCC has so far opted for a piecemeal attack – an approach that may continue for a while.

NIBBLING AROUND THE EDGES

A broad attack on the landmark 2015 net neutrality rules is expected. But under Pai, the FCC has made only some tweaks to the agency’s approach.

These rules have barred broadband providers from blocking and slowing some websites and creating faster access for their own services. But the rules also gave the FCC broader powers to stop telecom companies from hurting competition and consumers in other ways that weren’t spelled out.

When Barack Obama was president, the FCC used those broader powers to go after “zero-rating” plans, which give subscribers free data so long as they stick with their carrier’s own streaming-TV service, like AT&T’s DirecTV Now . Zero rating may be popular with consumers – hey, free data! – but the

FCC under Obama had argued that letting internet providers play favorites undermines streaming-video competition and ultimately leaves consumers worse off.

After Pai took office, the FCC reversed that stance and gave a thumbs-up to AT&T and other carriers with zero-rating policies.

The agency also exempted additional smaller broadband providers from a net neutrality regulation that required companies to spell out their pricing, such as specifying how long promotional rates last and whether services capped monthly data usage.

Until the FCC or Congress goes full-bore on net neutrality, the agency will likely “stand down” from enforcing it unless there’s a “really extreme” violation, said Marc Martin, technology and telecom attorney with Perkins Coie.

ONLINE PRIVACY REDO

The agency has also blocked part of a broadband privacy measure that requires companies like Comcast and Verizon to take “reasonable measures” to secure customer information like financial data or web browsing histories.

The remaining privacy rules, which aren’t in effect yet, are now under threat. Under these rules, phone and cable companies must ask permission before using or selling your data. Phone and cable companies have complained that these rules are tougher than what internet-advertising behemoths like Google and Facebook face. Pai says he wants to work with the Federal Trade Commission, another D.C. regulator, to come up with broadband privacy rules that are more in line with the laxer standards for internet companies.

Republican lawmakers have proposed spiking them completely. Democrats say that would leave consumers vulnerable and allow companies like Verizon or AT&T able to sell consumer information to advertisers. There are vaguer privacy requirements that still apply under the net neutrality rules, but the agency may be loath to enforce them, Martin said. And the net neutrality rules are expected to be undone in any case.

BROADBAND ACCESS AND PRISON PHONE RATES

Other efforts that were intended to address inequities, like the high cost of prison phone calls and broadband for lower-income people, are seen as endangered.

The agency refused to defend in court an FCC rule that capped rates for in-state calls made to people in prison. And it has limited the availability of government-subsidized internet service for poorer Americans by pulling nine providers from a program called Lifeline. The agency cited concerns about fraud and waste. The FCC says Lifeline still had dozens of companies offering discounted broadband as of December. The FCC may be open to reconsidering its decision.

MCEDC NEWS Pamela Cumpata making decisions. That is why the McHenry County Economic Development Corp. works hard to provide our local business community with data and research that is both meaningful and trustworthy.

A perfect illustration of our work in this area are the business visitations we conduct each year. Over the course of a year, MCEDC staff, board members and partners did 100 individual one-on-one business visitations. Why? First, we want to let our businesses know that they are valued and appreciated for their impact on our economy.

Secondly, through these meetings, we can see trends, issues and concerns that need to be communicated and addressed.

For example, a recurrent theme we heard during the visitations in 2012, 2013 and 2014 was a concern for developing a skilled workforce to replace an aging one. To act on this issue, MCEDC has been partnering with McHenry County College, the Work-

force Investment Board and others to provide skills training and to establish a youth outreach program on the value of, and need for, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education. From intern programs to facility tours, we are actively engaging our youth and encouraging the development of skills that we need in our workplace today and tomorrow.

Using the insights from business visits, the MCEDC has also been able to provide customized assistance either by connecting companies to resources that they may need, advocating for solutions to the challenges they are facing, or finding solutions to obstacles they are experiencing. Odds are if one company is working to overcome a challenge, other companies in the county are facing similar issues. For this reason, we also seek to communicate the knowledge we gain and the data we collect in a meaningful way that benefits all the businesses in the county through educational forums for municipal staff and elected officials as well as economic development presentations before business groups.

These presentations provide information on basic economic development practices as well as current

trends, highlight the collaboration that occurs regionally, as well as with municipal staff and MCEDC through partnering for business visitations, providing research and proprietary reports (over 1,000 during the last 5 years) as well as sharing information on initiatives and programs that could support municipalities and local businesses. We also have a wide range of data and resources including Economic Modeling, that are available through our website or by giving us a call. Think of it as a “one-stop-shop” for business information.

Francis Bacon stated that “knowledge is power” and I couldn’t agree more. At the MCEDC, we work diligently to empower our businesses and municipalities with reliable knowledge that truly fuels economic growth.

If you haven’t used our resources in the past, I encourage you to visit our website at http://www.mchenrycountyedc.com/business-information and check out all of the available support and data that can help your business grow.

Recently, I was spending time with my grandchildren and thinking about how different life will be for them compared with how it was when I was growing up. Take for example, the process of writing a school report.

When I was a kid, it involved a trip to the library and a card catalog that really contained cards. Or, if you were lucky enough, your parents or a friend’s parents had a set of encyclopedias that you could use in a pinch.

Now, we have the Internet, and with just a few clicks of the mouse, my granddaughter can unlock an entire world of information. For her, the issue is not finding it, but sorting through it and deciding what is good. The same holds true for businesses today.

Businesses thrive on access to solid information. Just like my granddaughter, the Internet has opened an entire world of data that is relatively easy to access. Many businesses are struggling not with quantity, but quality. How do I know the data is any good? Does it really pertain to me? Is it accurate? These are the questions being asked. Business leaders know the quality of the data could be the difference between “mediocre” and “amazing” when it comes to crafting strategy and

Dispatcher pleads for help clearing emergency lines Dear Abby: I’m a 911 dispatcher and I am shocked by the abuse of the 911 system. We are here to help in times of emergency, but our lines are continuously tied up by people who don’t have one. PLEASE help by passing along this plea to your readers: 1. Please don’t call to ask for phone numbers; we are not Information.

2. If you are on a speakerphone or shouting, WE CAN’T HEAR YOU CLEARLY! We know you are upset, but we can’t help if we can’t understand where you are or what type of assistance you need.

3. Do not assume that our computers can pick up your location. We can get an idea of where you are, but there is no guarantee that the information is accurate.

4. Every question we ask is important. You may not think so, but we wouldn’t ask if the information was not vital.

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips 5. And please, don’t call us asking for directions or the time!

A dispatcher’s job is to keep our responders and the public safe. When our lines are tied up by people who abuse the system, we are unable to help those in dire need of our help. We spend our days dealing with high-stress situations, and we do our best to guarantee a safe outcome for everyone involved. Please respect the 911 emergency system and call only for true emergencies. – 911

Dispatcher Dear 911 Dispatcher: I’m printing your

letter because it boggles my mind that anyone would be so stupid or inconsiderate as to deliberately call the emergency phone number asking for directions

NEIGHBOR

or the time. It is my understanding that some of the 911 systems are antiquated, and too many calls can tie them up, leaving someone with a real emergency unable to get through. In times like that, minutes can be critical. Perhaps the problem would be solved if callers who did not have a true emergency were fined for doing so – since I’m sure you have the number from which the call was placed.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been together for 10 years and have four children. Two years ago, we went through a rough patch and separated.

After working through our problems, we moved back in together recently.

Over the last few months, I have noticed that I become depressed whenever he’s around. It’s nothing he does. He’s nice and has improved himself over the last two years, but I miss living without him. I wish we would get a divorce so I could go back to living with just my

Volunteer.

children.

Do I feel this way because of low self-esteem, or is it something else? I’m not sure what to make of it, and your advice would be greatly appreciated. –

Second Thoughts in Ohio Dear Second Thoughts: It appears that

although you and your husband worked through your problems enough to move back together, there’s still more work to be done to repair your relationship.

Be careful what you wish for. Whether your attraction to him has simply grown stale or you have fallen completely out of love with him, I can’t guess. But with four children in the picture, I hope you will schedule some sessions with a licensed marriage counselor before making any final decisions about making that wish of yours come true.

Baker, Wolves still smarting over regional final loss

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com Prairie Ridge starting pitcher Hailey Baker remembers the details of every softball game she has played in.

For the four-year varsity starter of the two-time defending Fox Valley Conference Fox Division champions, that includes last season’s Class 4A McHenry Regional final against Crystal Lake Central, in which the fifth-seeded Tigers upset the No. 2-seeded Wolves, 4-2, to capture their first regional championship since 2002.

“In all honesty, we ended our season with a giant upset,” said Baker, who has been the Wolves’ No. 1 starting pitcher since she was a freshman after the graduation of Wisconsin’s Kirsten Stevens.

“That one really hurt; I’m not going to lie.” Baker said.

Prairie Ridge entered as the heavy favorite. The Wolves averaged more than eight runs a game and swept Central in two regular-season meetings by a combined score of 21-1. The Tigers had a sub.500 record going into the playoffs, and Baker overwhelmed them previously, winning both regular-season starts and holding Central to one unearned run with 18 strikeouts in 12 innings.

The Wolves finished with a 26-5 record, but that season-ending loss to Central still stings.

“We’re all still kind of feeling the sting of losing to Central last year, at least I know I am, and some of the other seniors,” Baker said.

“We’re really disappointed how last year ended, so I know this year we’re kind of taking on our football team’s message and mentality of ‘Unfinished business.’

“I think last year we looked too far into the future, and we kind of looked past Central. ... And it kind of got the best of us. Right now, we’re expecting a lot out of ourselves.”

Prairie Ridge hasn’t won a regional since 2012 (Class 3A), and Baker has been on the losing end of two straight regional finals. In 2015, it came against a loaded McHenry team, which included some of Baker’s Illinois Chill Gold club teammates. The Wolves were underdogs in that one, however.

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Prairie Ridge’s Hailey Baker pitches during softball practice March 6 at Prairie Ridge High School in Crystal Lake.

The Wolves return a bulk of their offense and lost only two to graduation. Senior Kaleigh O’Brien is back after leading area players with 10 home runs, and Maddie Schillinger emerged as one of the toughest outs last year, hitting .525 with 47 runs scored and 40 steals.

Sophomore outfielder Emmie Farnam also returns to one of the area’s most talented group of underclassmen. And Baker had the lowest ERA (1.82) and WHIP (0.85) among area starters.

“We are returning a good core of kids, and their attitudes are very good,” 19th-year Wolves coach Mike Buck said. “There’s a lot of good, young kids out there, and every team has good, young talent and solid pitching. The talent balance is as good as I’ve seen in our conference.”

Prairie Ridge once again should be a strong contender again in the FVC, which now is a nine-team conference after the departure of the Grayslake and Woodstock schools.

Their path won’t be easy.

Huntley, which handed Prairie Ridge one of its losses a year ago, is coming off the program’s first FVC Valley title and second straight regional title. The Red Raiders set a school record with 26 wins and are led by Division I University of Wisconsin-Green Bay commit Tiffany Giese, who led all area pitchers with a 25-7 record in 35 starts.

She posted a 2.34 ERA and struck

out 197 batters in 2181/3 innings, and also hit .417 with 30 runs scored and 24 steals. Also returning is senior Rylie Porretto (Lewis University) to lead the offense after driving in an area-best 47 RBIs with six home runs and eight doubles.

Huntley, however, loses three senior starters in Jessica Shields (who set a school record with 67 steals), Hayley O’Mara (team-high 21 extra-base hits, eight homers and 40 RBIs) and Megan Baczewski.

“It’s all up in the air,” Giese said when asked who was the FVC favorite. “Everyone has to come play their game and just see what happens. It’s a lot different with the huge conference. You’re not going to get easy wins.

“We lost a lot of senior leaders, so that’s big. I definitely have to step up as a leader. I feel like I have more eyes watching me this year.”

Huntley coach Mark Petryniec said the Raiders have a nice balance on offense this season and can play multiple styles, if needed.

He’s calling the FVC “the new SEC of the north” with a lot of talented players returning throughout the conference.

The Raiders have one of the deepest teams in the FVC, with Autumn Kasal (.346), Sofia Tenuta (.343, 14 extra-base hits), Taylor Pacana and Caitlin Brown (NAIA Viterbo) all back after playing 30-plus games last year.

Huntley has its sights set on trying to become the first in program history to win a sectional title.

“We have some new faces, but we’re pretty deep,” Petryniec said. “We have some really nice internal battles going for starting positions right now. Nobody is going to replace the 60 stolen bases at the top of the order.

“It’s looking like we have a nice approach of speed and power. If we want to, we have four slap hitters we can put in the lineup; or if we want to go big, we’re going to be able to play big, too.”

In the Kishwaukee River Conference, Marengo – No. 4 in the Illinois Coaches Association preseason poll – will be hard to beat.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: NCAA D-III TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP

Orange, Augie come up short Jacobs alumnus scores 14 points in 1-point loss

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Chrishawn Orange called it “the best decision in the world” when he selected NCAA Division III Augustana as his college two years ago.

The Jacobs graduate experienced the thrill of a lifetime Saturday as the Vikings took on Babson in the NCAA D-III Men’s Basketball Tournament championship game in Salem, Virginia.

Augustana fought from behind most of the game and almost pulled it out, but guard Nolan Ebel’s driving layup with 2 seconds remaining was blocked by Babson’s Joey Flannery, giving the Beavers a 79-78 victory.

Augustana, which finished 24-9, was the D-III runner-up for the second time in three years.

Orange scored 14 points on

back Mariah Dionne, a 3A ICA first-team selection last year. Dionne went 20-7 with a 2.45 ERA and 208 strikeouts in 166 innings as a junior, hitting .483 with 19 doubles, eight home runs and 46 RBIs. The Indians return eight of nine starters.

Senior Leah Secor solidifies Marengo’s infield and made only two errors at shortstop. She hit .424 with with 50 hits and 50 runs scored and didn’t strike out all season.

Richmond-Burton, Woodstock North and Burlington Central are the biggest challengers to the Indians in the seven-team conference, and Johnsburg also showed big improvement late last season before falling to Hampshire, 4-1, in the Class 3A Hampshire Regional final.

In the East Suburban Catholic Conference, Marian Central is looking to improve in one of the toughest conferences in the state. The Hurricanes’ offense looks strong with Emily Miller (.542 batting average, 18 extra-base hits), Jackie Chmiel and Maggie Finnegan all returning.

5-of-11 field-goal shooting. His 3-pointer when the Vikings were down 77-69 brought them closer. Augustana held the Beavers (31-2) scoreless over the last 2:39.

Ebel hit a 3 with 2:28 remaining, then Orange handed an assist to Jacob Johnston for a 3 with 10 seconds to go. Babson missed three free throws in the final 21 seconds to give Chrishawn the Vikings a Orange chance.

Ebel led Augustana with 20 points, while Johnston added 15 and Brett Benning scored 11.

Flannery led all players with 23 points, and Isaiah Nelsen had 18.

“We had a great run; it was fantastic,” Orange said. “We got a little away from our game plan in the first half and got down 10. But we kept fighting and got good looks and got back. It was good experience, we know what it’s like to be here. Now we have to work extremely hard to get back where we were.”

Augustana’s run to the championship game was somewhat unexpected given that Johnston was the lone senior in the lineup. Orange sparked the postseason run with game-winning shots in the Vikings’ first two games at Wisconsin-Whitewater.

The 6-foot-2 sophomore made a mad dash in the final 3.7 seconds and nailed a 3 to beat defending champion St. Thomas (Minnesota), 77-74, in the first game. The next night, he pulled up from 15 feet to stick a jumper in a 72-70 victory over Whitewater.

The Vikings won their next three games, each by double digits, to reach the title game.

“Just the confidence started going,” Orange said. “I think that was the biggest thing.”

Orange plans on staying in Rock Island again for the summer. He has a job and will work out with his teammates, as well.

the situation is, we never quit. The guys rallied around each other.”

With all due respect to Collins and to game officials Moe, Larry and Curly, the story of the game was neither the Wildcats’ slow start nor the no-call on Collins’ goaltend. The story was the way Law, McIntosh and their teammates played their best basketball all season when it would have been so much easier to just pack it in.

There was the Scottie Lindsey steal and dunk that made it 44-29 with 16 minutes to go, sending a surge of hope through the purple-clad fans inside Vivint Smart Home Arena.

There were the corner 3s by Law off slick feeds from McIntosh. There was the Nathan Taphorn long ball from straight on that finally got the deficit to less than 10 points with 8:43 left and, a little more than three minutes later, the soaring, two-handed slam off an offensive rebound by Law that made it a five-point game.

“It was exciting,” Lindsey said. “It was what we said we were going to do when we came in at halftime.”

And it wasn’t just offense. The Wildcats’ defensive intensity nearly blew the roof off the joint.

“It was amazing,” senior Sanjay Lumpkin said of his final game. “We had a lot of energy. It was great to be a part of it.”

SALT LAKE CITY – Chris Collins tilted his head and opened his mouth in mock surprise. Then he rolled his eyes. Along came a bitter laugh.

Bryant McIntosh shook his head exasperatedly. Teammate Vic Law sat nearly stone-faced, the slightest hint of a sardonic smile forming at one corner of his mouth.

The three of them – a rising-star coach and two of his finest players – sat at the front of an VIEWS interview Steve room after Greenberg Northwestern’s 79-73 defeat against Gonzaga in the second round of the Wildcats’ first NCAA tournament. Typically, such moments come with tears, regrets, thank-yous and promises of better days to come.

But this, the three of them sitting with media eyes on them and listening to a tournament staffer read – hot off the presses – an NCAA statement about one of the most preposterous officiating gaffes a basketball mind could conjure? It was absurd. It was ridiculous.

“With 4:57 remaining,” the statement began, “the officials missed a rules violation when a Gonzaga defender put his arm through the rim to block a shot.”

Really? Who knew?

The “block” by Zach Collins prevented Wildcats center Dererk Pardon from scoring to make it a three-point game.

The technical foul called seconds later on Collins – for behaving like a guy who had seen from the bench what three feckless stripes unthinkably missed – resulted in two free throws at the other end, making it a seven-point game.

A four-point swing, after all the Wildcats had done to scratch and claw their way back from 22 points down, was a crusher. There was no coming back from that, not against a team as power-packed as the No. 1-seeded Zags.

“They issued a statement,” Collins said. “I appreciate the apology. It makes me feel great.”

The Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. – When the season ended suddenly and shockingly, much earlier than Villanova expected, Kris Jenkins bent over in disbelief near mid-court.

There would be no game-winning shot, no confetti-filled celebration, no more games.

The defending champions – and No. 1 overall seed – are done.

On Wisconsin.

After two relatively routine days, madness returned to the NCAA tournament Saturday as top-seeded Villanova was bounced from the brackets and the East Region, 65-62,

by No. 8 seed Wisconsin, which added another major upset to its résumé and stormed into the Sweet 16 for the fourth consecutive year.

Nigel Hayes scored 19 points, dropping a layup in traffic with 11.4 seconds left, and Bronson Koenig shook off foul trouble and added 17 for the tournament-toughened Badgers (27-9), who will play next week at New York’s Madison Square Garden after knocking off a Villanova team that never found its traction in snowy Buffalo.

“Seeds don’t matter,” Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said. “I told these guys I don’t care where we’re seeded. We have to win six games. Let’s start with these two this weekend.”

Mission accomplished.

“We were looking for a proven winner who would build upon our proud tradition while developing an unmistakable identity for Illinois basketball,” Illinois AD Josh Whitman said in a statement announcing the hire Saturday. “Brad’s teams play a fast, aggressive style and show unyielding toughness.”

If he did not have permission to leave, according to Underwood’s contract, he owes Oklahoma State $3 million.

Underwood replaces John Groce, who was let go this month. The Fighting Illini went 95-75 in five seasons under Groce but made only one NCAA tournament appearance.

In his first speech at Oklahoma State, Underwood talked about his desire to return Oklahoma State to the level of the Henry Iba and Eddie Sutton glory days. It worked – he brought fans back to Gallagher-Iba Arena after they had become apathetic toward the end of Travis Ford’s stay.

Now, Oklahoma State has to look for a coach again after being raided by a Big Ten school.

“We are saddened and disappointed in Brad’s decision to leave Oklahoma State after one year,” Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder said in a statement. “We are trying to digest this news.”

Illinois was impressed with Underwood’s 109-27 record as a Division I coach and the fact that he has reached

CHAMPAIGN – A year ago, Brad Underwood’s Stephen F. Austin squad lost to Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament, and he took the job at Oklahoma State the next day.

A year later, history repeated itself. A day after Oklahoma State lost to Michigan in the NCAA tournament, Underwood accepted the job at Illinois.

He called the chance to lead the Fighting Illini a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

“I can’t wait to get started with our team,” Underwood said in a statement.

“Next season can’t get here fast enough for me!”

Underwood spent three successful seasons at Stephen F. Austin before

signing to coach Oklahoma State. The Cowboys got off to a rough start to Big 12 play before rallying down the stretch to land an NCAA tournament bid. Oklahoma State fell to seventh-seeded Michigan, 92-91, Friday, closing out Underwood’s only season in Stillwater.

“You see a lot of coaching changes Brad across America, but Underwood very rarely do you see one after just one year,” said Kansas coach Bill Self, an Oklahoma State alum. “But Brad’s a really good guy and done a great job. But from the outside looking in, it looked to me like OSU and Brad fit very, very well.”

10 CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Butler takes aim at place in Cubs’ rotation plans

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – Eddie Butler walked into the hallway off the Cubs’ clubhouse Friday morning to check the bulletin board, just as Jake Arrieta walked in from the other direction.

“Nice job,” Arrieta said of Butler’s start the day before, patting the promising young right-hander on the shoulder as he walked by.

Two ships passing in the night – or at least in the Cubs’ rotation?

Maybe.

If the Cubs effectively bridge the sizeable starting pitching gap Eddie Butler that figures to be created next winter by Arrieta’s – and John Lackey’s – free-agency departures, this is where it could start.

Nobody, including Butler, is going to claim to be some kind of Arrieta in the making. But the former Rockies first-round draft pick has made a strong impression on the Cubs since his change-of-scenery trade from Colorado last month – 4-0 with a 2.70 ERA this spring after four scoreless innings against the Dodgers Thursday.

“I’m trying to force their hand pretty much, trying to prove I’m the pitcher that they wanted over here,” he said, “and I want to make an impact as quick as possible for this team.”

Barring injury to a starting pitcher before the team breaks camp in two weeks, there is no hand to force for Butler – something even the confident right-hander admits. Guaranteed contracts run 13 deep among pitchers in Cubs camp.

But the trade for Butler, like the trade a week later for Kansas City’s Alec Mills, is about the changes the Cubs see coming to a World Series-winning rota-

tion that might have an especially short shelf life and little in the way of minor league backfill candidates anytime soon.

“We’re trying to acquire as many guys with a chance to blossom and be part of our rotation in the future as possible,” said team president Theo Epstein, who already did that successfully with Kyle Hendricks in a 2012 trade and Arrieta in a trade a year later.

That search for more pitching continues whether Butler sticks in the near future or not. For now, he might be the most intriguing candidate to watch for one of those pending vacancies in the rotation.

“It’s there for the taking, man,” manager Joe Maddon said. “It’s always up to the individual. He definitely has that kind of stuff. He has high-end, major league-starter stuff. It’s up to him.

It’s all up to him.”

The Cubs actually had the chance to acquire Butler five years ago out of college, but selected right-hander Pierce Johnson three spots ahead of him instead.

Butler, who struggled in parts of three big league seasons with the Rockies (6.50 career ERA), embraces the fresh start with a new team that targeted him as a potential long-term piece – and that doesn’t play its home games at Coors Field (where his ERA was more than 2½ points higher than on the road).

“A couple of guys have contracts that are ending and are going to be free agents,” said Butler, 26, who has one minor league option and five years of club control left. “I know that’s why they brought me over. I had the availability of the option and then a lot of years of control still.”

That option means that after working with him at the major league level all spring, the Cubs will slot him in the rotation at Iowa and look for a right time to put him in the big league rotation.

Cubs 6, Team Japan 4 (Mesa, Ariz.)

Brewers 13, Cubs 7 (Maryvale, Ariz.)

SPLIT-SQUAD SPLIT Cubs starter John Lackey gave up a oneout solo home run in the first inning, but gave up only two hits and a walk in the rest of his five-inning exhibition start Saturday against World Baseball Classic semifinalist Japan. But minor league starter Jake Buchanan was not as sharp John Lackey in the Cactus League road half of the doubleheader, giving up four runs in the first. Four unearned runs in the third turned on the rout.

LACKEY ROLLS The veteran retired 11 of the final 12 batters he faced in 93-degree heat.

“I felt pretty good the whole time really,” he said. “The arm is feeling good right now.

The other stuff is coming along, getting a little better each start.”

POWERBALL Anthony Rizzo, Addison Russell and John Andreoli each hit solo shots against the Brewers, and Jacob Hannemann added a two-run shot in that game. Russell leads the Cubs with four official home runs this spring; Andreoli also has four, counting his

three in the WBC for Italy.

HEY-HEY-WARD For most of the spring, the results have not looked much different for Jason Heyward than they did during his career-worst season at the plate last year. But after a 2-for-3 game against Japan that included an opposite-field single and a sharply hit out that required a backhand stab by the first baseman, Heyward is 5 for 9 in his past three games (over the past four days). The first-inning out and a third-inning single to right both drove in runs.

MUNE-BALL Munenori Kawasaki, the Cubs’ Japanese infielder manager Joe Maddon wanted playing short and batting leadoff against Team Japan, reached on an infield single and walked in his first two trips to the plate – stealing second base and eventually scoring each time. He also lined out to left in the sixth.

RENTERIA EJECTED It’s not every day a manager gets ejected from a Cactus League game, but the White Sox’s Rick Renteria did just that after Carson Fulmer’s verbal exchange with Quinn Wolcott riled up the umpire.

Both Fulmer, who allowed three runs over four innings, and the Dodgers’ Kenta Maeda were not pleased with Wolcott’s zone. Fulmer let Wolcott know he was unhappy Carson Fulmer with a two-strike “ball” call on a cutter to Chase Utley that led to a walk and a run in the third.

Renteria went nose-tonose with Wolcott and got tossed.

“Our manager is here for Rick Renteria us,” Fulmer said. “There’s a sense of security here having a manager who will do that for you.’’

“We just had a couple of words,” Renteria said. “Just wanted to make sure he was OK with Fulmer. It got a little out of hand, probably, on my part.’’

QUINTANA’S BACK FIELD JOY Jose Quintana, back from the World Baseball Classic, threw six innings on a backfield against minor leaguers. Quintana was pleased with how he threw, and got into playing the prospects, stepping out of the dugout to high-five teammates after his team scored.

“They don’t have too many opportunities to talk with us,’’ Quintana said. “I try to spend good times with them and talk to somebody. I enjoyed this time with the minor leaguers.’’

More important, Quintana said he “threw the ball well to both sides of the plate. I feel really good.’’

PITCHERS PUMMELED After Fulmer, relievers Jace Fry, Jake Petricka, Zach Putnam (two homers) and Michael Ynoa each allowed multiple runs.

12 BLACKHAWKS 2, MAPLE LEAFS 1 (OT)

Hayden fitting in nicely for Hawks

By MARK LAZERUS

BLACKHAWKS 2, MAPLE LEAFS 1 (OT)

mlazerus@suntimes.com TORONTO – Two games into his NHL career, John Hayden apparently has yet to find a helmet that fits his head and its considerable flow – he constantly is adjusting his lid, often during gameplay, even while battling for position in front of the crease.

“I think it’s my fault,” the Yale product said. “I’ve got to figure that out. I just got a haircut, so it can’t be too much hair.”

But although his helmet doesn’t fit, he’s been fitting in the Blackhawks’ lineup just fine.

After a solid debut in Ottawa, Hayden scored the first goal of his NHL career Saturday night in Toronto, and Ryan Hartman scored the game-winner with 17 seconds left in overtime to give the Hawks a 2-1 victory, which capped a three-game sweep of

With the free-falling Minnesota Wild losing their fourth straight and seventh in nine games, the Hawks have a fivepoint lead in the Central Division.

tem Anisimov was injured in Montreal, entering the lineup deep into a playoff race with no NHL experience. Quenneville thought enough of him to throw him in on the top line with Jonathan Toews, and Hayden – a big, physical presence with significant offensive skill – hasn’t wasted the chance.

“I liked him a lot,” Quenneville said. “I thought he was really good the first game, and

even better tonight. So it’s a good start to his career. … It’s a great compliment that you get that opportunity. It’s even better you take advantage of it.”

It was a beauty of a goal, too. After a terrific Brent Seabrook stretch pass sprung Hayden and Toews on a 2-on-1, Toews slipped a backhanded saucer pass to Hayden, who kicked the puck to his stick and picked the upper-right corner to tie the score at 1.

“It was a pretty nice first goal,” said Hartman, who was the Hawks’ most effective forward all night, with six shots on goal. “To his feet and no stickhandle, just right to the shot. He’s been looking good.

He looks comfortable, and we’re glad to have him.”

Said Hayden: “It was awesome. [Toews] was telling me to shoot the puck before the game. Obviously, he made a great play, and it felt pretty good.”

Owners treat sick animals with cannabis

By TERENCE CHEA

The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – Michael Fasman’s 12-year-old dog, Hudson, limps from pain caused by arthritis and an amputated toe, but Fasman doesn’t want to give her painkillers because “they just knock her out.”

So the San Francisco resident has turned to an alternative medicine that many humans use to treat their own pain and illness: marijuana.

On a recent morning, Fasman squeezed several drops of a cannabis extract onto a plate of yogurt, which the Portuguese water dog lapped up in seconds. It’s become part of Hudson’s daily routine.

“We think it’s really lifted her spirits and made her a happier dog,” Fasman said. “It’s not that she’s changed.

She’s just back to her good old self.”

As more states legalize marijuana for humans, more pet owners are giving their furry companions cannabis-based extracts, ointments and edibles marketed to treat everything from arthritis and anxiety to seizures and cancer.

Most of these pet products, which aren’t regulated, contain cannabidiol or CBD, a chemical compound found in cannabis that doesn’t get pets or humans high. They contain little or no tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, the cannabis compound known for its psychoactive effects.

But veterinarians say there isn’t enough scientific data to show cannabis is safe and effective for treating animals. Although medical marijuana is legal in 28 states, it remains illegal under federal law, so there has been relatively little research into its potential medical benefits for humans or animals.

Veterinarians in California and other states are legally barred from prescribing or recommending cannabis. They risk losing their veterinary licenses if they do.

“Our hands really are tied,” said Ken Pawlowski, president of the California Veterinary Medical Association. “Definitely we’re getting more questions

As more states legalize marijuana for humans, more pet owners are giving their furry companions cannabis-based extracts, ointments and edibles marketed to treat everything from arthritis and anxiety to seizures and cancer. from clients asking about it for their pets, but unfortunately we don’t have any answers for them.”

Karl Jandrey, a veterinarian who teaches at the University of California, Davis, said he tells his clients they “use them at their own risk with the potential to spend money for no improvement, or a risk of adverse side effects.”

Despite the lack of scientific data or veterinary guidance, many pet owners are convinced cannabis has improved their animals’ health and well-being, based on their own observations.

Lynne Tingle, who runs a pet adoption center and animal sanctuary, regularly gives cannabis edibles and topical ointments to older dogs with health or behavior issues, including her own elderly dogs, Chorizo and Alice.

“You just see a real difference in their spirit. They’re just not in pain, so they’re happier and they’re moving better,” said Tingle, who founded the Richmond-based Milo Foundation.

“They just get a new lease on life.”

San Francisco-based TreatWell Health is one of a growing number of companies marketing cannabis products for pets despite questions over their legality.

TreatWell sells cannabis tinctures – extracted from marijuana plants in Humboldt County – that can be added to food or dropped directly into an animal’s mouth. Co-founder Alison Ettel works directly with clients and their pets, recommending different formulations based on the animals’ ailments.

TreatWell pet tinctures can help treat anxiety, poor appetite, pain, inflammation and seizures, as well as kidney and liver problems, cancer and glaucoma, according to its website.

They also are used in end-of-life care.

“What we find is a lot of the animals are coming to us when there are no other options and pharmaceuticals haven’t worked for that animal,” Ettel said. “They’re at that last resort, and cannabis is really good for those types of situations.”

EnvironmentTip Well-being of planet, humans is linked

Clean air, water, plants and food supplies are essential for our personal health and well-being.

The relationship between the

environment and humanity is one of interdependence – each affects the other. Therefore, just as our actions and choices affect the environment, the health of the planet influences our own personal

health and well-being, as well as our communities, families and economies. Making changes in life that aim to protect the health of the global environment will naturally benefit us as well, sometimes

in unexpected ways. The health of the planet is inextricably linked to the well-being of the individual.

Irish Coffee Photo by Deb Lindsey for The Washington Post

By SHAWN POGATCHNIK The Associated Press

By M. CARRIE ALLAN

The Washington Post

ears ago, I had the fortune to be in Dublin on St. Patrick’s Day. I spent the day as any lit major with an Irish Catholic heritage and an interest in history would: visiting the worlds of Yeats, Wilde and Joyce, and exploring sites related to the complexities of the Republican cause and the “still indomitable Irishry” Yeats wrote of.

I trust readers will understand that by “visiting the worlds of writers and exploring sites of the Republican cause,” I mean I mostly spent it pub-crawling.

I wasn’t a beer drinker at the time, so over the course of the day – during which one of our party attempted a clumsy attack on an inflatable dragon in the parade, leaving the dragon none the worse for wear but probably contributing to the boorish reputation of American students abroad – I sucked down about seven Irish coffees.

Late in the evening, after hours of jigging and reeling to a local band at the last of a string of pubs, I confessed to my beer-sozzled friends that in this day-long application of whiskey, sugar, coffee and cream, the caffeine had proved victorious: I was stone-cold sober and possibly permanently awake.

The combination of hyper-caffeination and my own social awkwardness meant that, while others in my party were dancing and flirting with a charming global lineup of giddy young people, I was sober enough to focus on what I was drinking, noting differences between one pub’s Irish coffee and the next. The majority were pretty godawful, suffering primarily from the realities of the bar coffee, which had probably sat on a burner for hours, developing unlovely scorched notes that weren’t drowned out by sugar or booze.

My recollection was largely confirmed by Sean Muldoon, managing partner at the Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog in New York, an Irish bar that repeatedly turns up on lists of the best bars in the world. “The Irish coffees served in Ireland are typically not good,” Muldoon told me via email. “I’ve tried hundreds and haven’t had a good one yet.” This, he says, is because Irish bars don’t really take the drink seriously.

They tend to roll their eyes over it, confirms Kevin Hurley, global brand ambassador for Teeling Whiskey.

Which is a pity, because Irish coffee is the only cocktail on the International Bartenders Association drinks list – a roster of standards any bartender should know – that specifically calls for Irish whiskey. Yet it’s “one of those Irish anomalies that’s far more popular in the States than it is in Ireland,” Hurley said.

Made well, an Irish coffee is a thing of beauty. It perfectly suits the often damp and chilly weather of the country it’s named for, as well as the contemplative and happily convivial feeling conveyed by a good Irish pub late in the afternoon as the shadows are lengthening and the day is slipping away.

2 servings

The Dead Rabbit, Muldoon said, serves between 50 and 250 Irish coffees a day; it’s the bar’s most popular drink.

The bar long has made a great Irish coffee, but the version it serves now is a revision concocted a year ago with the help of renowned bartender Dale DeGroff.

Fitting, because it was DeGroff who inspired Muldoon to give the drink a serious look. During a seminar years back, DeGroff queried the crowd as to how many of them had ever had an Irish coffee. “Of course everybody in the audience raised their hands,” Muldoon said. But when DeGroff went on to ask how many had had one that they actually liked, “not a single hand was raised.”

DeGroff explained most bartenders treated the drink as an afterthought, and that as a result the coffee was often burned, the cream sprayed from a can, the ratio of sugar to coffee to whiskey off. He went on to lay out some key principles: Always use freshly made coffee (never espresso); use a light-style, high-grain-content whiskey (so that none of the drink components will overwhelm the others), a rich demerara syrup and fresh cream whipped by hand and kept cold till use.

The Dead Rabbit’s recipe is the best version I’ve had: a balanced, richly bittersweet brew topped with pillowy, snow-white cream that, when whipped properly, stays separate, floating like sea-foam atop the drink. With its pale head of cream, the cocktail ends up visually echoing that other Irish delight, a perfectly poured Guinness.

DUBLIN – Guinness is inviting its first sleepover guest in the Dublin brewery’s 258-year history – by transforming its rooftop bar into a penthouse with the city’s most panoramic view.

The maker of Ireland’s ubiquitous stout announced Monday it’s hosting the latest “Night At” event by Airbnb, which has staged one-nightonly accommodations in an ever-growing menu of eccentric locales, including a shark tank, the top of an Olympic ski jump and a Transylvanian castle replete with coffin beds.

The successful Guinness contestant must describe online in 200 characters or fewer – or 300 characters in Chinese or Korean – why they’re the world’s biggest fan of the beer.

The prize for the winner and a guest includes flights to Dublin, a butler, a tour of brewery features off limits to visitors, a six-course meal overseen by Guinness’ head chef and an opportunity after breakfast the next day to help the senior brewmaster make a batch of the roasted barley-darkened drink.

The brewery’s top-floor Gravity Bar, which features 360-degree views of Dublin via floor-to-ceiling glass panels, usually represents the pint-inhand finish line for more than 1.6 million visitors annually to the Guinness Storehouse, Ireland’s top tourist attraction.

Irish interior designer Graham O’Donnell, responsible for many of Ireland’s most artistic pubs and hotel bars, was brought on board to convert the Gravity – normally a packed standing-room-only affair with little furniture besides barstools – into a VIP residence.

His creation features a round bed that looks like a creamy-topped pint of the black stuff, a branded pool table, a plush living room with TV, an antique telescope for examining Dublin in more detail and an assortment of Guinness artifacts from brewery archives.

Put your best fork forward every day You hold a powerful tool in your hand every day that can help you make healthier choices. As we begin National Nutrition Month, we can look at our forks and be reminded we hold the power to make better food and beverage choices.

National Nutrition Month is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The campaign focuses on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. In addition, NNM promotes the academy and its members to the public and the media as the most valuable and credible source of timely, scientifically based food and nutrition information.

“Put Your Best Fork Forward” is the theme for 2017, which serves as a reminder each one of us holds the tool to make healthier food choices. Making small changes during National Nutrition Month and, over

time, helps improve health now and into the future. As nutrition experts, academy members can help guide the public on gradually shifting toward healthier eating styles by promoting NNM activities and messages during March.

Making just small shifts in our food choices can add up over time.

The 2015-20 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest starting with small changes to make healthier, lasting changes you can enjoy.

Keep in mind how much we eat is as important as what we eat.

MyPlate can help you to eat and drink the right amount for you. It also is important to find activities you enjoy and be physically active most days of the week. In addition, you might try experimenting with cooking more at home and trying healthier ingredients in your favorite recipes.

The important message here is everyone has the ability to start with even one small change in eat-

ing habits and/or exercise habits, one forkful at a time. Start with a goal that is important and attainable, and be specific. For instance, a specific goal would be to ‘‘walk 1 mile during lunch three times this week with Ann,’’ compared with the general goal to ‘‘exercise more often.”

Next, make the goal more shortterm and track it. For example, commit to do it all this week, and mark it off on your calendar. By the end of the week, you will feel so good about your progress you will be ready to commit to the next week.

Research shows it takes about 21 days to form a simple, habit such as drinking a glass of water after breakfast, but getting in the habit of more difficult tasks such as exercising may take much longer.

The McHenry County Department of Health’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children (WIC)

program helps participants put their best fork forward by working with expectant mothers on making healthy choices during pregnancy and encouraging healthy eating starting with breastfeeding. The program also focuses on developing healthy eating habits by encouraging thoughtful feeding decisions and allowing children the opportunity to choose what to eat and how much.

Participants receive individual nutrition assessments and personalized consultation to develop and work toward attainable goals that lead to better health and nutrition.

Truth of addiction must be faced, whether subtle or obvious Addiction in the family can be like a sledgehammer or like a distant whisper. For “Denise,” it was a sledgehammer. When she was a little girl, it was a punishment to go to grandma’s house. Grandma was a vodka-slinging, late-stage alcoholic who had no time for kindness or children. She was either drunk, getting drunk or in another medical crisis. She died a painful, unhappy, alcoholic death.

Denise’s mom pretty much followed suit in the drinking department. She was a heavy drinker and a bit of a brawler from as soon as the bars would let her in. She was never much of a mother to her three girls, and Denise, the oldest, generally was tasked with being the babysitter.

With no supervision for herself, she went off the rails pretty early and never looked back. Her drinking

was much like her grandmother’s and mother’s. Some would say she never had a chance. The alcoholism was easy to see, started early and was about as easy to stop as a freight train.

It was her third DUI and her second stay in jail that finally got to her. After three years of fits and starts in AA, Denise finally got it.

She’s been sober for seven years.

“Danielle” was a quiet kid from a respectable middle class family. For her, the alcoholism in her family was like a distant whisper.

She never thought of her dad as an alcoholic. In fact, it never would have entered her mind. He was a reasonably successful business man and rarely drank in public, but was a secret drinker. He would hide small bottles and close the door to his home office in the evening so he

could “work.”

Danielle could never understand why her dad sometimes would sleep in his office and why her mom seemed so angry all the time. Drinking was never talked about, and she assumed her parents were having problems and, like several of her friends’ parents, were headed for a divorce. Her parents started marriage therapy. Then her mom started to see a psychiatrist for “anxiety.” Danielle figured the problem was solved.

As time passed and things deteriorated in Danielle’s house, she became more withdrawn and more confused.

Her parents suggested she see her mom’s psychiatrist, and Danielle soon was on medication similar to mom’s, to little effect.

Although Danielle wasn’t a drinker, she subtly was affected by the alcoholism in her family. She

knew there was something wrong, but couldn’t figure out what it was, felt crazy and somehow to blame for “it.” The alcoholism was manifested by the secrets, her mom’s denial and anger and her own inexplicable shame.

It wasn’t until many years later and a few years of therapy that Danielle was able to identify her core issues.

Even though her dad had passed away, she started in Al Anon and finally found the sense of truth and peace she had been looking for.

Fairy gardens captivate imaginations of kids, adults

By TRACEE M. HERBAUGH

A

The Associated Press

set of little wings. Ceramic fountains. Tiny versions of ornate cottages and brick walkways fit for the English countryside. These are just some of the whimsical decorations that adorn fairy gardens.

When such miniature decorations are paired with similarly diminutive plants, these gardens – aimed at luring fairies – can captivate the imaginations of children and adults alike.

“I think it is in our DNA,” said Brenda Williams, a master gardener at Pesche’s Greenhouse, Floral and Gifts in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

For the past four years, Williams has taught classes to 4H students and through the University of Wisconsin’s continuing education program on how to create fairy gardens. We have the itch to garden, she believes, to satisfy some lingering part of our hunter-gatherer past. “That gene is still very present in modern people who no longer need to garden,” Williams said. And designing a little fairy abode turns a garden into “a living artwork,” she said.

Fairy gardens’ appeal is similar, perhaps, to that of Japanese bonsai, the ancient practice of grooming small trees inside containers. In 1893, fairy gardens surged in popularity in the United States because of the Japanese Pavilion at the Chicago World’s Fair. No two fairy gardens are the same. Some people use creative containers, especially antiques – a wash tub, bird cages or pickle bottles.

“I tell people to imagine something in your head and try to recreate it in a pot, or whatever,” Williams said.

The gardens can be designed underwater or with silk plants if the creator is more of a “set and forget” type of plant person, Williams said.

Often, fairy gardens are a creative bridge between adults and children.

Jayme Tortorelli Benko, a 37-year-old mom from Denver, saw photos of fairy gardens online and wanted to make one for her young daughter, Alora. In a large pot, Benko put a ceramic flower with a

Hannley writes the DIY blog “Dazzled While Frazzled” and created the fairy garden with objects left over from her daughter’s birthday party and an empty tin soup can. resting fairy (named Nata), some rocks and potted plants. Creating the garden was about spending time together, Benko said, adding, “Kids love magic.”

Fairy gardens also are part of a larger DIY movement. Victoria Hannley, a 39-year-old mother of three who runs the DIY blog “Dazzled While Frazzled,” made her first fairy garden with items left over after her daughter’s birthday party and some empty soup cans.

“It makes me think back to the days when I had a dollhouse,” Hannley said.

“You’re able to take everyday stuff you have and make something with it.”

Yet fairy gardens also can take on more solemn meanings. The 15-foot-wide

fairy garden on the side of Michelle Peebles’ home commemorates her daughter Amanda, who died at age 12 from complications from a rare form of cancer. Peebles, 46, of Broomfield, Colorado, planted the garden two years ago with Amanda and her other children.

“She helped me plant some snapdragons, and she used to dig for roly polies [beetles] there,” Peebles said.

There still are snapdragons in the spot, as well as a little fairy home and seashell walkway. Amanda’s digging tools still are there.

“It’s just a little peaceful place, and it’s incorporated with her little stuff,” Peebles said.

Time to dust off your wings.

Two upcoming events at Tom’s Farm Market in Huntley will transform the greenhouse into a magical experience.

A Fairy Garden Tea Party will be from 1 to 3 p.m. April 22 at Tom’s, 10214 Algonquin Road, Huntley. Tom’s very own fairy, “Miss Peggy,” will be there with glitter and her helpers for pictures and a fairy parade. The event will feature sweets and finger sandwiches, along with tea and lemonade. Those who attend are encouraged to bring their cameras. Tickets cost $14 (plus tax) at www.tomsfarmmarket. com beginning at 9 a.m. March 22.

From 1 to 3 p.m. April 30 at Tom’s Farm Market, create your own magical mini garden with tiny plants, characters and accessories. Bring your own container or buy one from the market, along with supplies.

Tom’s design people will be available to assist and answer questions. This is a family project for all ages. Those who attend are asked not to bring in outside merchandise and to use the plants and figurines provided by Tom’s. Spots for the event must be reserved at the market or at www.tomsfarmmarket.com beginning at 9 a.m. March 22. Reservations must be made before April 26.

Professional birth photography a growing trend as families seek to capture special moments

By SARAH STRZALKA

editorial@nwherald.com

There’s no picture of the moment Stephanie Kinser first laid eyes on the baby girl who made her a mother.

“Neither my husband or hospital staff got a picture of me seeing my daughter for the first time,” said Kinser, of McHenry. She gave birth

via C-section.

It was much different with her son, born at home with a birth photographer present.

“She got a picture of me looking at him for the first time. She got a picture of the moment I said to my midwife, ‘Oh my God, I did it! He came out the way he was supposed to!’ ” Kinser said. “These moments wouldn’t have been captured without a birth photographer.”

Long gone are the days of dads banished to waiting rooms, but partners with an iPhone don’t necessarily take the best pictures. A birth photographer unobtrusively shoots as the new family member enters the world, leaving parents free to live in the moment. And perhaps share the moment with others if they so choose.

See LABOR, page 7

• LABOR

“It’s just such a big event, and I wanted it documented,” Kinser said. “I wanted to be able to have the pictures. I don’t necessarily share them, but just have them for myself because … it’s an experience that can’t be duplicated.”

The birth of Kinser’s third child, Sullivan, her second son, was photographed by Victoria Beauchamp of Volo-based Hera’s Gift Photography.

“I think that a lot of people have misconceptions about birth photography,” Beauchamp said. “That we’re mostly taking pictures of the baby emerging.”

But it’s not about that, as much as capturing the emotions of the event, she said.

“What I love most is witnessing the profound event of a new person entering a family and see the variety of emotions that a family goes through,” Beauchamp said.

“In labor, the mom is working really hard, then the baby comes out, and it immediately switches to joy and bonding with the new baby.”

Beauchamp, a stay-athome-mom at the time, started as a hobbyist photographer in 2008. She began with portraiture and in 2010, a friend asked Beauchamp to photograph her birth.

“At first, I was hesitant because it was such a big event and I was so new, I wasn’t sure I wanted to take on that responsibility,” Beauchamp said. “I ended up loving it. I loved the experience.”

She eventually decided to focus on the “birth year,” meaning maternity, birth and babies.

“With portraiture, there isn’t a lot of variety. You’re

just in the studio or you’re out in a field,” Beauchamp said. “At a birth, you really don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s a challenge for me, and I enjoy that.”

Beauchamp is basically on call 24 hours a day as her sub-

jects’ due dates near and will travel up to about an hour to photograph a birth, with the north side of Chicago and west suburban Hinsdale areas being more popular.

While most of her clients have been home births, she’s

heard the opposite from photographer friends.

But depending on where moms deliver their babies, birth photography may not be an option locally.

At Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, photography is not permitted until after the birth, regardless of whether it is vaginal or C-section, public affairs and marketing manager Kathleen Troher said.

In contrast, at Centegra Health System, the decision about whether to allow birth photography is left up to the physician, spokeswoman Michelle Green said.

But it’s not something that is requested often, she said.

“We have not seen a lot of people requesting birth photography yet,” Green said.

“We definitely want to be able to document their special moment because we all know it’s a really memorable time.”

Although professional birth photography is gaining more attention through word of mouth and on social media as the often dramatic photographs often go viral, some parents may not know their options as policies vary by health care provider, prefer their privacy or are wary of inviting another person into their birthing room.

But Kinser said a good photographer blends into the background, and having those memories to cherish are priceless.

“I do recommend it,” Kinser said. “If we were having more children, I would do it again.”
