Good morning, McHenry County ...

Confessions of a coffee bean sniffer I absolutely love the aroma of coffee.

That vaporous expression of hot steaming java-bliss totally eclipses the modesty of the sniff of any other conventional odor. It is the tactile equivalent of the touch of pure silk; the auditory parallel of the chorus of Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” It is the smell of freshly ground happiness.

So enticing is its bouquet that when I’m in a grocery store I always swing to the corner of Slow Roast and Quick Drip for a visit. I pull my shopping cart over and pretend to be judiciously searching for my favorite brand while I inhale so deeply that I almost begin to hyperventilate.

If I am at a store that has coffee bean grinders, the fragrance is so intense that I close my eyes, and when I awake I’ve unconsciously traveled to the checkout with a cart full of Jamaican Blue Mountain beans and the cashier is asking me if I need help loading them into my car.

Yes, I am addicted to the smell of coffee. I found a room freshener spray called “Roasted Espresso.” I discovered a cologne called “Angel Men Pure Coffee” and there’s this cool body wash called “Coffee Blossom Essence” that leaves the scent of coffee on every inch of your body. It makes me feel like a Bohemian Espresso with legs.

That all being said, it will surprise you to know that as much as I am smitten by the aroma of coffee, I cannot stand its taste. It is so pungent it makes bitter taste sweet. It is as caustic as an angry letter to the editor and as venomous as a mother-in-law’s stare across the dinner table.

If coffee were a meal, it would be cold leftover tuna fish casserole. If it were a book, it’d be “Moby Dick.” If it were a car, it’d be a pale yellow 1972 AMC Pacer and if it were a song, it’d be “Who Let the Dogs Out.” The irony of my love/hate relationship with coffee and its aroma is difficult to explain.

It’s like loving a baseball game, but hating a ballpark hot dog. Or grooving on jazz, but be-

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava ing repulsed by the sound of a saxophone. Or loving nature, but hating the out-of-doors.

It appears that I am not alone in my cuppa conundrum.

Statistics tell us that 54 percent of us drink coffee daily. Now, that should calculate to about every other person we know loves their cup of joe. However, it seems that 100 percent of the people wandering in my circle of friends and family guzzle that battery acid. And just about every day I must deal with this perky conversation…

“Hey, Michael, how about we go get a cup of café noir?”

“Um, I don’t drink coffee.”

“What? How do you wake up in the morning?”

“I don’t. I mean, I don’t need coffee to wake up.”

“Then what gets you going in the morning?”

“I like to eat a Snickers bar and wash it down with cherry-flavored milk while I watch funny kitten videos on YouTube.”

“You’re sick, Penkava.”

Thusly, I navigate my coffeeless way through a dark roast world.

For even if Juan Valdez himself offered me a cup of his rich, Colombian coffee, I would say to him, “El aroma de tu café es de los cielos, pero el sabor, mi amigo, es la clase mas rica de miseria.” (The aroma of your coffee is from the heavens, but the taste, my friend, is the richest kind of misery.)

• Michael Penkava taught a bunch of kids and wrote a bunch of stuff. When someone asks him how he likes his coffee, he replies, “In burlap bags.” He can be reached at mikepenkava@comcast.net.

FINDING MORE FIREFIGHTERS Local programs aim to help aging departments recruit younger people

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com

S

PRING GROVE – McHenry County fire officials – like their counterparts across the country – are having a difficult time finding young recruits to take the place of aging veterans.

“We are struggling to find young recruits, and it’s a difficult situation because the volunteer position is not really what it once was,” Harvard Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Don Davidson said. “People don’t have as much free time as they used to, and ambulance calls have increased over the years.”

Davidson said his department actively recruits within the district, but has had to rely on paramedics outside of the district on occasion to fill some needs.

“We’ve put ourselves in a situation

right now if a young person wants to be a career firefighter, we can give them the tools to get partway there early,” Davidson said. “But because of how limited we can be at times, we can be in some trouble if there are two major calls at once.”

Spring Grove Fire Protection District Chief Richard Tobiasz said there’s even more of a need for some of the smaller departments in McHenry County. Tobiasz said the main problems are the already limited pool of candidates and the time it takes to train those who are interested.

“There’s a lot to know and it’s a huge time commitment to become a firefighter,” Tobiasz said. “Anyone off the streets who wants to work as a firefighter or paramedic would need at least two years of training, and being a firefighter has changed a lot in the last 30 years. You need to know hazardous materials, more paramedic training

and the changes in building construction and materials.”

Tobiasz also said another problem he sees is that people are seemingly always moving from one place to another.

“We’re kind of the training grounds for people who want to move on in their careers, so sometimes they can’t work for us anymore and we need to replace them,” Tobiasz said.

Since Hebron is such a small town, the Hebron Fire Protection District has a paid on-call program where the volunteers respond from their homes.

“We rely on people coming from their homes and businesses to respond for emergency calls,” Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District Chief Tom Linneman said.

“But finding volunteers can be hard especially in today’s world. A lot of our volunteers are younger people who are starting their families out,

and family commitment doesn’t allow them to volunteer as often as they may like.

“We used to have a factory in town that probably employed five or six of our volunteers and when there was a call, they were able to help out right away,” Linneman said. “But that’s no longer the case now and a lot of times factories can’t afford to have the employees leave anymore.”

Spring Grove and other fire departments around McHenry County are addressing the need for early training with their explorer programs, which give youth the chance to experience fire and emergency medical services before using hands-on and classroom training. The goal is for participants to get an early taste in what being a firefighter entails.

browland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Two men and a woman face felony charges for beating and robbing a man in Crystal Lake earlier this month.

Lawrence W. Liss, 28, of McHenry; Cameron J. Dreyer, 30, of Carpentersville; and Angel D. Albers, 42, of McHenry were charged with robbery, aggravated battery and mob action in connection with the March 11 incident.

If convicted of the most serious charge, robbery, each Angel D. could face three to seven years Albers in prison.

Police were called to the 400 block of Berkshire Drive in Crystal Lake shortly after 4 a.m. March 11 for a report that a man needed medical attention.

The victim, who had injuCameron J. ries to his face, was taken to Dreyer the hospital for treatment.

Investigators learned the man had been beaten and robbed by several people he had randomly met the previous evening in Crystal Lake, Deputy Chief Thomas Kotlowski said.

Police said the three susLawrence pects gained the trust of the W. Liss man throughout the course of the evening before turning on him.

All three are accused of repeatedly kicking and punching the man before robbing him.

They left the area before police arrived, but investigators were able to identify all three, Kotlowski said.

After getting warrants, all three had been arrested by Thursday.

All three remained at the McHenry County Jail as of Friday in lieu of $50,000 bond each.

Liss and Dreyer are next due in court March 28. Albers is next in court April 6.

6 LAKE IN THE HILLS

Village fires administrator Assistant is taking over, but Petroshius will still get a salary through May 11

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The Lake in the Hills Village Board has fired one village administrator and hired another.

Doug Petroshius, who was placed on administrative leave after about three months on the job, will be removed from office May 11.

At the Lake in the Hills Village Board meeting Thursday, trustees unanimously approved firing Petroshius and appointing Assistant Village Administrator Jennifer Clough to the position.

“I’m excited for the village to have some continuity,” Clough said Thursday.

According to Petroshius’ contract, his position cannot be terminated without cause before the end of the village president’s elected term. Petroshius will remain on administrative leave until May 11, and continue to be paid his annual salary of $140,000 through that time.

After that, he will receive six

months’ severance pay, per his contract with the village.

The board also passed an ordinance Thursday to allow them to hire Clough while Petroshius still is on leave.

Clough, 32, has been with the village for about six years – first as a human resources Doug coordinator and then as Petroshius assistant village administrator. She has filled in as interim village administrator when Petroshius and former Village Administrator Gerald Sagona were on leave.

Jennifer Petroshius was hired Clough to fill the position left by Sagona, who was placed on administrative leave and resigned after about 20 years on the job.

“I think she’s an excellent fit,” Lake in the Hills Village President Paul Mulcahy said. “I don’t think we’re going to get any surprises like we did

with Petroshius.”

Mulcahy said he did not reopen the application process for the position because the village just went through it when Petroshius was hired. Clough was the second choice for the position at that time, Mulcahy said.

Clough has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She plans on pursuing a master’s degree in public administration, and her contract allows for an annual $4,000 reimbursement for the courses she takes.

Clough will be paid $140,000 annually, and received a $375 monthly car allowance and a cellphone paid for by the village, according to her contract.

Despite the long hours, Tobiasz and Linneman said they would recommend people pursue the career for the opportunity to help the community and for the challenge.

“It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s certainly rewarding for the some of the things that you do,” Tobiasz said.

KATHERINE L. OLIVER

Born: April 24, 1957 Died: March 19, 2017

Katherine L. Oliver born April 24, 1957 in Elgin to Jo and Jack Oliver, passed away on March 19, 2017 at the age of 59.

Katherine was proud of her education from NIU and Elgin Community College. Additionally, she was proud of her work as a hospice nurse with JourneyCare Hospice. Katherine also loved animals, especially horses.

Katherine is survived by her father, John H. Oliver of Lake in the Hills; brothers, John M. Oliver of Harvard, IL and James M. Oliver of Minneapolis, MN; nieces, Nicole Swanson of Harvard, and Brittany Oliver of Lilly Moor,

PATRICK J. STUDLEY Patrick Joseph Studley “PJ”, of Lake In The Hills, passed away at home March 21, 2017.

Born in Elgin, IL to Patrick M. Studley and Audrey Glaesser on April 15, 1977, he was the beloved husband of Erica Joy Studley; dear brother of Michael J. Studley; fond uncle of William, Marilyn, Deonte, Dontrell, Dephinisha, Jemeical, Mattie, Maranda, Cecil, Riley, Amos, and Nate.

PJ loved Bruce Springsteen. He had gone

to close to 20 concerts and loved all things Springsteen. He also loved to give back. PJ gave his time generously, volunteering for the Crystal Lake branch of the Salvation Army, McHenry County Senior Services, Cancer Camps, Relay for Life and was always the first person there if you needed help. He won Bell Ringer of the Year in 1999 and 2000 as well as Most Dedicated Ringer in 1998 and the Sam Liberati Award in 2000. PJ even raised over $30,000 by himself over the years.

He loved sports. His favorite teams were the Raiders, the Twins, and the Cavs (before Lebron even) and West Virginia College Basketball. He also loved playing soccer when he was young and won numerous awards for his achievement in the sport. He played for Swaben AC and in 1993 won first place in their tournament, and in 1991 he helped the team win the USA Cup. One of PJ’s favorite things was going to the zoo. He loved animals, especially the big cats, hyenas, African wild dogs, and meerkats. But he was fascinated by every animal at the zoo and had to make sure he read every placard and saw every exhibit.

PJ was a foodie, and his favorite thing to eat was condiments. You could make him a beautiful dinner and PJ would immediately pour ketchup or barbecue sauce all over it.

No condiment was ever safe around him.

PJ’s favorite time of year was Christmas.

He would go out every Christmas Eve to hand deliver gifts and Christmas cards. He would leave at 6am and wouldn’t get home until midnight in order to make Christmas magic. He was so tired, but so happy that he could visit so many and bring so much holiday joy. Every year, he would have a Christmas party the Saturday before Christmas. Everyone had to draw a Christmas picture and put it on the wall. He kept them and wallpapered the basement with them every year. The basement wall had so many Christmas drawings, you couldn’t help but get into the spirit just by walking down there.

PJ was an amazing person. So many people knew and loved him. His spirit will live on in so many. It is hoped that his example inspires more people to do good in this world, volunteer, and help each other. This will insure that PJ will always live on.

A visitation will be held for PJ on Sunday, March 26th, 2017, from 3:00pm to 8:00pm at Willow Funeral Home, 1415 W. Algonquin Rd., Algonquin. Services will be held for PJ on Monday, March 27th, 2017 at 11:00am, followed by interment at Algonquin Township Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in PJ’s name to The Salvation Army of Crystal Lake, or the National Alliance for Mental Illness of McHenry County, www.namimchenrycounty.org. The family also requests that you volunteer at your favorite charity or at McHenry County Senior Services in PJ’s memory.

Lundahl raises more than $8K for leukemia, lymphoma Lundahl Middle School is taking an active stand against childhood cancer.

Through the efforts of students, staff and parents, the school this year raised $8,327 for Pasta for Pennies benefiting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

With this year’s donation, the school reached a new fundraising milestone, raising $50,133 since 2012, and has been named one of the nonprofit’s top fundraising schools in the state.

For the past six years, the Lundahl student council has spearheaded the fundraiser, where they host events such as selling candy grams, an all-school skate night and a dodgeball tournament.

Individual classrooms also engage in “change wars,” where students in each homeroom class donate spare change to the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for a chance to win a catered lunch by The Olive Garden. To boost participation, teachers offer kids incentives to earn prizes, such as snacks, homework passes, gum-chewing passes, even a seating chart. The top homeroom winners were: 1. Mrs. Robyn Slater – $1486.09 2. Mrs. Annette Rafferty – $906.99 3. Mrs. Abby Karecki – $684.40 4. Mrs. Jessica Ludwig – $578.63 5. Mrs. Jill Van Camp/Mrs. Jill Greene – $569.65

Registration for upcoming nature open house now open The McHenry County Conservation District is planning a Nature Play Open House from 10 a.m. to noon April 3 at Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road, Crystal Lake. Play with nature puzzles,

games, puppets and more. There is a guided hike at 11 a.m. The program is free for county residents, $5 for nonresidents. For kids ages infant to 5 years old, with chaperone. Registration deadline is March 30.

Learn about restoration ecology and what makes Sterne’s Woods and Fen special while giving native plants a chance to mature at the upcoming volunteer workday. Volunteers will meet from 9 to 11 a.m.

March 26 at the Sterne’s outdoor pavilion, 5617 Hillside Drive.

Volunteers will be clearing invasive species from beside the main trail near one of the springs that supplies the fen. Invasive understory brush crowds out native species such as oak saplings, shading them to death before they have the chance to mature. Volunteers will cut buckthorn and honeysuckle bushes, giving the native understory plants and oaks a chance to thrive this spring.

Bring a water bottle and a pair of work gloves. The park district will supply the tools. For information, email volunteer site steward Brice Alt at bricemaieralt@ hotmail.com Sterne’s Woods and Fen is home to at least 10 rare or endangered plant species.

The surrounding parkland acts as a buffer to the fen and includes prairie, oak savanna, and flatwood ecosystems.

Man continues search for relative’s grave

By BEN HOHENSTATT News-Tribune

OTTAWA – After years of work, Naramor Cemetery looks more like a cemetery than cow pasture.

Before John Kettman, a La Salle artist, began restoring the resting place of his ancestor Laura Cowgill, the cemetery in between Streator and Kangley had become overgrown and taken a beating at the hooves of livestock.

“We’re going to go out there Monday, and we’re looking for more stones,” Kettman said Feb. 18 during a presentation to the La Salle County Genealogical Guild. “When you unearth a gravestone it’s like being an archaeologist without the 12-year education. It’s like heaven.”

He said there is a downside to finding and fixing a grave marker.

“For each one of these I repair, I have to do paperwork,” Kettman said, During the nearly twohour presentation, Kettman shared many pictures from

many as 200 bodies are buried in the cemetery.

“Every single one of those stones, we take a phone, and we put it in the GPS, and we chart it,” Kettman said.

Of all the graves so far located and repaired, Kettman said Cowgill’s has yet to be discovered.

“We’ve got 100 people buried out there, but we haven’t found her,” he said.

During the presentation, Kettman said he uses homemade probes consisting of bike handlebar grips, a rod and a blunted screw to jab the earth in search of a telltale ringing sound that will reveal the location of gravestone.

He said he also uses copper witching rods, which he said will cross to reveal the gender Ben Hohenstatt /NewsTribune via AP of the centuries-old skeleton John Kettman of La Salle holds up a photo of his ancestor, Laura Cow- under the ground.

Chicago father, twin sons sentenced for sex trafficking

CHICAGO – A Chicago father and his twin sons have been sentenced for running a sex trafficking business with underage girls.

Nathan Nicholson was sentenced to 16½ years in prison, and his sons, Tyrelle and Myrelle Lockett, were sentenced to 17½years in prison each, the Chicago Tribune reported. The three men pleaded guilty last year to one count each of sex trafficking of a minor.

Prosecutors said the brothers solicited victims at malls in Chicago and northwest Indiana as well as over social media.

Court records said the men brought the girls to an abandoned house in Chicago’s south suburbs, took provocative photos

of them and coerced them into having their “skills tested” by having sex with the twins. The men kept all of the money the women received from clients.

Court records show several of the victims testified before U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow in October, saying the family’s actions had lasting effects on their lives, from ongoing drug addiction to being relegated to the streets with limited options beyond the sex trade.

Man sentenced to life for 2011 slaying of parents

BRIDGEVIEW– A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to life in prison for the 2011 slaying of his parents.

The Daily Southtown reported 22-yearold John Granat Jr. was given the punishment Thursday for the deaths of John Granat Sr. and Maria Granat. Authorities said the couple’s skulls were crushed with aluminum bats and the dying mother was repeatedly stabbed.

Authorities said Granat Jr., who was 17 years old at the time, arranged for three

friends to help kill his parents at the Palos Heights home.

He was charged days after the killings when his alibi fell apart. In the days after the deaths, Granat’s friends continued to attend high school before being arrested. Two pleaded guilty and are in prison.

Christopher Wyma was convicted and is due in court Friday.

Judge imposes sentence in Chicago school bribery case

CHICAGO – A federal judge on Friday sentenced the owner of two education-services companies to a seven-year prison term, after prosecutors painted him as the “mastermind” behind bribes and kickbacks made to the former head of Chicago Public Schools.

Gary Solomon’s sentencing comes after a plea agreement last year. As part of that agreement he admitted he offered former school district CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett bribes and kickbacks in exchange for her steering $23 million in contracts to his companies. Byrd-Bennett previously

Researchers from the University of Illinois have helped map the cemetery with ground-penetrating radar, and a geologist from Illinois Valley Community College helped identify the stone used to make grave markers.

Recently, Kettman worked with some descendants of the cemetery’s occupants to erect some birdhouses in the cemetery.

“I thought wouldn’t it be nice to bring some life back into the cemetery,” Kettman said.

And in the future, he said he’d like to paint a mural there.

“I think it will be like a sanctuary,” Kettman said.

But first, someone will have to take ownership of the cemetery, which Kettman said he is reluctant to do because of possible liability.

Restoration efforts are always in need of volunteers and donations, Kettman said.

“Everything that’s been donated has gone directly into it,” he said.

Unemployment rate drops below 6 percent in February

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Employment Security said the state’s unemployment rate fell below 6 percent in February.

The drop to 5.4 percent leaves Illinois’ jobless rate at its lowest since late 2007.

Preliminary numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released by the department Thursday indicate 25,600 nonfarm jobs were added to Illinois’ economy last month.

January job growth was revised to show an increase of 8,100 jobs rather than the preliminary estimate of 1,700 jobs February’s payroll progress still leaves Illinois lagging behind the 4.7 percent national unemployment rate

GOP’s push to repeal health care law fails The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – In a humiliating failure, President Donald Trump and GOP leaders yanked their bill to repeal “Obamacare” off the House floor Friday when it became clear it would fail badly – after seven years of nonstop railing against the health care law.

Democrats said Americans can “breathe a sigh of relief.”

Trump said Obama’s law was imploding “and soon will explode.”

Thwarted by two factions of fellow Republicans, from the center and far right, House Speaker Paul Ryan said President Barack Obama’s health care law, the GOP’s No. 1 target in the new Trump administration, will remain in place “for the foreseeable future.”

It was a stunning defeat for the new president after he had demanded House Republicans delay no longer and vote on the legislation Friday, pass or fail.

His gamble failed. Instead Trump, who campaigned as a master deal-maker and claimed that he alone could fix the nation’s health care system, saw his ultimatum rejected by Republican lawmakers who made clear they answer to their own voters, not to the president.

He had “never said repeal and replace it in 64 days,” a dejected but still combative Trump said at the White House, although he had repeatedly shouted during the presidential campaign that it was going down “immediately.”

The bill was withdrawn just minutes before the House vote was to occur, and lawmaker said there were no plans to revisit the issue. Republicans will try to move ahead on other agenda items, including overhauling the tax code, although the failure on the health bill can only make whatever comes next immeasurably harder.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., announces that he is abruptly pulling the troubled Republican health care overhaul bill off the House floor Friday in Washington.

Trump pinned the blame on Democrats.

“With no Democrat support we couldn’t quite get there,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “We learned about loyalty, we learned a lot about the vote-getting process.”

The Obama law was approved in 2010 with no Republican votes.

Despite reports of backbiting from administration officials toward Ryan, Trump said: “I like Speaker Ryan. ...

I think Paul really worked hard.”

For his part, Ryan told reporters: “We came really close today, but we came up short. ... This is a disappointing day for us.” He said the president has “really been fantastic.”

But when asked how Republicans could face voters after their failure to make good on years of promises, Ryan quietly said: “It’s a really good question. I wish I had a better answer for you.”

Last fall, Republicans used the issue to gain and keep control of the White House, Senate and House. During the previous years, they had cast dozens of votes to repeal Obama’s law in full or in part, but when they finally got the chance to pass a repeal

version that actually had a chance to become law, they couldn’t deliver.

Democrats could hardly contain their satisfaction.

“Today is a great day for our country, what happened on the floor is a victory for the American people,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who as speaker herself helped Obama pass the Affordable Care Act in the first place. “Let’s just for a moment breathe a sigh of relief for the American people.”

The outcome leaves both Ryan and Trump weakened politically.

For the president, this piles a big early congressional defeat onto the continuing inquiries into his presidential campaign’s Russia connections and his unfounded wiretapping allegations against Obama.

Ryan was not able to corral the House Freedom Caucus, the restive band of conservatives that ousted the previous speaker. Those Republicans wanted the bill to go much further, while some GOP moderates felt it went too far.

Instead of picking up support as Friday wore on, the bill went the other direction, with several key lawmakers coming out in opposition.

London attacker cheerful on eve of rampage The ASSOCIATED PRESS BIRMINGHAM, England – Long before his short stints in jail turned into years behind bars, Khalid Masood was known as Adrian Elms, with a reputation for drinking and an unpredictable temper.

At least twice he was convicted of violent crimes, well before he stabbed a police officer to death Wednesday in London with a motion that one horrified witness described as “playing a drum on your back with two knives.”

But as he checked out of his hotel to head toward London for his deadly rampage, the manager said he was struck by his guest’s friendly manner.

Within hours, Masood drove his rented SUV across the crowded Westminster Bridge, leaving a trail of dead and wounded. Then he jumped out and attacked Constable Keith Palmer, an officer guarding Parliament, stabbing him to death before being shot to death by police.

In all, he killed four people and left more than two dozen hospitalized.

Masood, who at 52 is considerably older than most extremists who carry out bloodshed in the West, had an arrest record dating to 1983. The violence came later, first in 2000 when he slashed a man across the face in a pub parking lot in a racially charged argument after drinking four pints, according to a newspaper account.

The victim, Piers Mott, was scarred for life, said his widow, Heather.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan stands on Westminster Bridge near floral tributes to victims of Wednesday’s attack outside the Houses of Parliament in London on Friday.

Masood’s last conviction was in 2003, also involving a knife attack.

It’s not clear when he took the name Masood, suggesting a conversion to Islam.

Heather Mott said Masood appeared to come out of jail “even worse.” She said she got chills when she learned the identity of the London attacker.

“What a pity they didn’t realize he was a nutter,” she said.

Police are combing through “massive amounts of computer data” and

have contacted 3,500 witnesses as they look for clues as to why the British-born man launched the deadly attack.

“Clearly that’s a main line of our investigation is what led him to be radicalized: Was it through influences in our community, influences from overseas or through online propaganda?

Our investigations and our arrests will help in that, but the public appeal will make a big difference if people come forward with more information,” said

Britain’s top counterterrorism officer, Mark Rowley.

A security official who spoke Friday on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about an ongoing investigation confirmed that Masood had spent time in Saudi Arabia but said investigators were still trying to determine how long he stayed and what he was doing.

Prime Minister Theresa May said Masood was “investigated in relation to concerns about violent extremism” years ago. But she called him “a peripheral figure.”

The Islamic State group described Masood as “a soldier,” claiming responsibility for the attack. Rowley said police are investigating whether he “acted totally alone inspired by terrorist propaganda, or if others have encouraged, supported or directed him.”

People made arrests across the country as they investigate whether anyone else helped Masood prepare his attack. Six people were released without charge Friday night, leaving four in custody on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.

Detectives have searched 21 properties in London, Brighton, Wales, Manchester and the central English city of Birmingham in one of Britain’s biggest counterterrorism operations in years.

Wednesday’s attack was the deadliest in Britain since suicide bombers killed 52 commuters on London’s transit system July 7, 2005.

Trump OKs Keystone pipeline, calls it ‘great day’ for jobs

By JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump green-lighted the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline on Friday, declaring it a “great day for American jobs” and siding with energy advocates over environmental groups in a heated debate over climate change.

The presidential permit comes nearly a decade after Calgary-based TransCanada applied to build the $8 billion pipeline, which will snake from Canada through the U.S. Trump’s State Department said the project advances U.S. national interests, in a complete reversal of the conclusion President Barack Obama’s administration reached less than a year-and-a-half ago.

“It’s a great day for American jobs and a historic moment for North America and energy independence,” Trump said, standing alongside TransCanada’s CEO in the Oval Office. Keystone will reduce costs and reliance on foreign

oil while creating thousands of jobs, he said, adding: “It’s going to be an incredible pipeline.”

The decision caps the long scientific and political fight over a project that became a proxy battle in the larger fight over global warming. And Friday’s decision, while long foreshadowed by Trump’s public support for Keystone, represents one of the biggest steps Donald to date by his adminis- Trump tration to prioritize economic development over environmental concerns.

TransCanada, Trump said, can now build Keystone “with efficiency and with speed.” Though it still faces other major hurdles, including disputes over the route, the president said the federal government was formulating final details “as we speak.”

The 1,700-mile pipeline, as envisioned, would carry oil from tar sands

in Alberta, Canada, to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast, passing through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. It would move about 800,000 barrels of oil a day.

Environmentalists, Native American groups and landowners who’ve opposed Keystone expressed outrage, and Greenpeace said the U.S. was “moving backwards” on climate and energy policy.

“Keystone was stopped once before, and it will be stopped again,” vowed Annie Leonard, the group’s U.S. director.

Obama in 2015 rejected the pipeline after years of study, saying it would undercut U.S. credibility in the international climate change negotiations that culminated later that year in a global deal in Paris. He echoed the argument of environmental groups that Keystone would encourage use of carbon-heavy tar sands oil, contributing heavily to global warming.

Relying mostly on the same information, the Trump administration reversed Obama’s decision Friday.

In a lengthy report, the State Department alluded to the Paris deal as one reason. Because many other countries have pledged to address climate change, it said Keystone can proceed without undermining the overall effort to slow global warming. The Paris agreement compels the U.S. and other countries to cut greenhouse gas emissions in coming decades.

Keystone would strengthen U.S. energy security by increasing access to Canada’s “dependable supply of crude oil,” said the State Department, which had jurisdiction because the pipeline crosses the U.S.-Canada border.

But the level of those benefits has been the subject of exhaustive debate in recent years.

Obama argued the oil wouldn’t stay in the U.S. because it would be exported after being processed in American refineries. TransCanada insisted Keystone “is not an export pipeline.” Many energy experts insisted the truth was somewhere in between.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, a key figure in investigations into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, has volunteered to be interviewed by lawmakers as part of an increasingly partisan House probe of the Kremlin’s alleged meddling in the 2016 election.

The chairman of the House intelligence committee, Rep. Devin Nunes, on Friday announced the prospect of an interview with Paul Manafort, and Nunes canceled a previously scheduled public hearing in which former Obama administration officials had agreed to testify about the Russia investigation. Manafort also volunteered to be interviewed by the Senate intelligence committee, which is conducting its own investigation.

It was not clear whether Manafort had offered to testify under oath or in a public hearing.

Manafort volunteered to be interviewed the same week that FBI director James Comey confirmed the existence of an ongoing counterintelligence investigation into possible Trump associates’ coordination with Russia and just days after an Associated Press report revealed Manafort

best of his knowledge” none of his associates has anything to do with Russia.

But documents obtained by the AP reveal Manafort had sought work from a Putin ally and proposed a campaign that he said could “greatly benefit the Putin government.”

Nunes, a former dairy farmer from California and member of the Trump transition team, on Wednesday told reporters that an undisclosed source had shown him intelligence reports revealing that the communications of Trump transition officials were scooped up through routine surveillance and improperly spread through intelligence agencies during the final days of the Obama administration. After he briefed reporters, Nunes met with the president.

Democrats said Nunes’ loyalties to Trump appeared to outweigh his commitment to an independent, bipartisan investigation when he rushed to the White House to deliver the president information that Trump said vindicated him for his claims that former President Barack Obama wiretapping him. Comey, Nunes and other intelligence officials have refuted Trump’s claim, and the president has offered no supporting evidence.

Good news for Motorola site Thumbs-up: To Edward Harvard Holdings LLC, which plans to start manufacturing smartphones at the Motorola campus in Harvard. The company’s application submitted to the Harvard-Woodstock enterprise zone said it would make smartphones and have distribution, a research and development center, customer support, engineering services, telecommunications operations and a training center on the campus. The application gave an estimated completion date of May. The $32 million project will add 100 temporary construction jobs and 100 permanent jobs. That is well short of the 5,000 people employed there at its peak, but after the building has been vacant and deteriorating since 2003, with its potential for everything from a water park to a prison falling through, it will be good to see it brought back to life, even on a small scale.

Thumbs-down: To the practice of artificially hiking teacher salaries in the final years of a teacher’s service to increase the pensions they receive, as done by Crystal Lake School District 47 in its last contract which allows 6 percent raises for each of a teacher’s final three years.

Meanwhile, the unfunded liability of the Illinois Teachers’ Retirement System is estimated at $71.4 billion. There’s a lot of blame to spread, including at the state of Illinois, for not properly funding the system, but adding greater and greater amounts to teachers’ already generous pensions is adding insult to injury for Illinois taxpayers.

Thumbs-up: To a competitive race for seats on the Community High School District 155 board.

We’re glad to see nine candidates running for four spots on the district board. With control of the board possibly up for grabs as critical decisions loom, voters have a chance to shape the future of the district for years to come. We encourage voters to review the positions of all the candidates in this critical race.

Thumbs-up: To mayor and village president candidates from McHenry, Cary, Lake in the Hills, Woodstock and Hebron who agreed to come in this week and discuss the election issues in their towns with the Northwest Herald’s Editorial Board. The discussions were broadcast on Facebook Live and are available on our Facebook page. The lively discussions brought another element to our election coverage and allowed community members an unfiltered look at their next leaders.

Juvenile records require delicate treatment Believing doesn’t make it true, and when it comes to court records, it’s not belief that counts.

Consider this widely held belief that juveniles with a criminal record get a fresh start when they turn 18. Lawyers believe it and so do their clients. Judges believe it, and so do the clerks who manage the records.

But the problem is that it’s only sort of true.

A recent study by researchers at the Muskie School of Government at the University of Southern Maine found that there is a widespread misunderstanding about the law. A juvenile criminal record can be sealed by a court, but the process is not automatic and past offenses might be showing up in a job seeker’s criminal background checks without his knowledge, making a smooth transition to a straight and narrow adulthood tougher than necessary.

The report “Unsealed Fate: The Unintended Consequences of Inadequate Safeguarding of Juvenile Records in Maine” found few people who understood how

the system really works.

“The myth of records being sealed automatically at 18 was being repeated by so many different players,” said Susy Hawes, one of the study’s authors. “Everyone we spoke to in the system had that belief. It’s a vicious cycle of believing something and then hearing it again and believing it.”

Juvenile records are treated differently than those of adults for a good reason. The juvenile system is designed to rehabilitate a young person who has made some bad choices during a time when their brains are not fully formed. Most young people get through that period without violating the law with support from good families and strong communities, but even the best kids can be led astray.

It’s right to expect an adult to live with the consequences of his choices for the rest of his life, but it’s in the interest of both the juvenile and society in general to give them another chance to get on the right track.

Aside from the fact that it isn’t

well understood, there is nothing wrong with the current law.

A juvenile has to wait three years after a conviction to petition the court to have his record sealed.

To have a chance at closing that chapter of his life from others’ eyes, the offender has to have a clean record, paid all fines and completed all other instructions and requirements. Even then a judge could refuse to grant the petition, and the former juvenile offender cannot appeal.

It’s a good law because it gives a youthful offender the incentive to straighten out his act.

The law gives the court a chance to help a kid who made a mistake while protecting the community from someone who would hide behind juvenile confidentiality while continuing to commit crimes.

Hopefully, this report will be used by lawyers, judges, clerks and probation officers in their training so they can give young offenders and their families the correct information.

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.

VIEWS Austin Berg base. These numbers are reported on a daily basis.

Pharmacies comply with this requirement. But many physicians selling drugs out their office do not, according to Randy Malan, the PMP’s clinical director. Malan said physician-dispensing sites are not registered in the database.

So what if there was a bad actor in that system?

“We wouldn’t know,” Malan said.

This blind spot means that if a doctor tried to treat an injured person receiving physician-dispensed drugs from elsewhere, she might not be able to make a holistic judgment of the patient. That lack of information easily could lead to a vulnerable worker receiving a “holy trinity,” Malan said.

He’s referring to the dangerous drug cocktail of an opioid such as Vicodin, a muscle relaxant such as Soma and a benzodiazepine such as Xanax. This combination can be lethal.

Unfortunately, physician dispensing is not a niche industry in the Land of Lincoln. In fact, it’s booming.

Physician-dispensed drugs account for more than 60 percent of the cost of prescriptions covered by workers’ comp in Illinois, according to the

Workers Compensation Research Institute. And that cost share is increasing.

“This appears to have been driven by the significant increase in the price per pill for physician-dispensed prescriptions,” WCRI experts wrote in a July 2016 report.

That is a shocking result. It means efforts in 2012 to curb costly markups at physician-dispensing sites had the exact opposite effect.

Five years ago, Illinois began tying the price of physician-dispensed drugs to their average wholesale price in order to limit high markups.

But soon after this policy change, physicians started prescribing new, obscure and sometimes more powerful dosages of familiar drugs. This effectively made the price controls moot.

For example, shortly after the new rules took effect, doctors began selling a previously nonexistent strength of hydrocodone-acetaminophen, commonly known as Vicodin. While it was nowhere to be found in pharmacies, this new strength was the most common form physicians dispensed in 2014.

Why? Physicians could sell it at more than $3 a pill – triple the price of the typical dose at the pharmacy.

This practice doesn’t just present an immediate danger to workers. It’s also a threat to their families and communities. Just because an injured

worker is overprescribed opioids doesn’t mean he will use all of them.

In fact, data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show most people who abuse prescription medications get them for free from friends and relatives, not drug dealers.

For these reasons and more, 21 states have taken steps to curtail physician dispensing within workers’ compensation laws or more broadly.

Illinois has not.

Thankfully, House Bill 2892 offers a way forward. This bill, filed by state Rep. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, would ban physician dispensing within the workers’ comp system while allowing limited exceptions for areas without access to a nearby pharmacy.

It’s a reform that addresses a major worker health issue, not to mention saves on workers’ comp insurance costs for Illinois businesses trying to keep afloat. How often does such a simple fix pop up in Springfield?

Opioid addiction isn’t a partisan issue. Lawmakers should act to address the state’s role in promoting it as soon as possible.

More Illinoisans die from an opioid overdose than from the barrel of a gun. But imagine the public outcry if a state-run program was passing out weaponry to civilians.

Enter Illinois’ workers’ compensation system, which contains a little-known loophole that puts injured workers at risk of drug addiction and overdose. Doctors treating injured workers in Illinois through the workers’ comp system can sell the drugs they prescribe directly out of their office. And that comes with life-threatening consequences.

A study from Johns Hopkins researchers reveals that when physicians are allowed to do this, they prescribe more than three times the quantity of opioid drugs they would prescribe otherwise. And workers are off the job for 85 percent longer.

Perhaps even more concerning, those researchers couldn’t find a single legitimate medical reason why this is happening in Illinois. They concluded that financial incentives were the likely culprit. We’ll get back to that in a minute.

Fortunately, state government already has taken major steps to address the rising body count of opioid addiction.

Geologist: Shell hid Nigeria spill dangers

By MICHELLE FAUL The Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG – Royal Dutch Shell’s Nigeria subsidiary “fiercely opposed” environmental testing and is concealing data showing thousands of Nigerians are exposed to health hazards from a stalled cleanup of the worst oil spills in the West African nation’s history, according to a German geologist contracted by the Dutch-British multinational.

An environmental study found “astonishingly high” pollution levels with soil “literally soaked with hydrocarbons,” geologist Kay Holtzmann wrote in a letter to the Bodo Mediation Initiative.

The people of Bodo in the oil-producing southern Niger Delta should get urgent medical tests, Holtzmann wrote in the letter dated Jan. 26 and seen by The Associated Press.

Shell did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The cleanup halted 17 months ago was part of a British out-of-court settlement in which Shell paid $83.5 million to 15,600 fishermen and farmers for damages from two oil spills caused by old pipelines in 2008 and 2009 that devastated thousands of acres of mangroves and

The agreement was reached through British law firm Leigh Day, which said Friday it has received no response to a Jan. 30 letter to Shell asking for the data from Holtzmann, who was hired by Shell to manage the cleanup.

“Leigh Day has been pushing for the cleanup of Bodo,

health screening of the population and testing of the water supply since 2011 – all to no avail,” it said. “This letter shows that even those who were employed by Shell are deeply concerned by their behavior and their lack of transparency.”

Holtzmann’s letter warns that children bathing in creeks are in danger of harm from toxic substances, as are people who drink from hand-dug wells.

In a statement, rights

group Amnesty International called Shell “deeply irresponsible. ... Shell has a responsibility to share this information with the community to ensure they can take steps to protect themselves and their children.

Cleanup efforts overseen by the Dutch government began in June 2015 but were halted within months by community disputes and problems with contractors.

Bodo Mediation Initiative co-chair Inemo Samiama to publish the data, noting that the initiative’s committee had insisted on the tests “against fierce opposition from SPDC.” Shell Petroleum Development Co. is the subsidiary in which Nigeria’s government is the majority shareholder. The country is one of Africa’s largest oil producers.

The environmental tests were carried out in August 2015 with support from Shell’s headquarters in The Hague, the letter said.

Holtzmann said his intent to publish the findings in a scientific magazine last year was quashed by Shell, which said his contract did not permit publication.

Samiama said in a telephone interview that residents’ health will be better served by getting on with the cleanup. After a challenging four-year process, “we are on the verge of getting contractors back to the site,” he said.

Bodo is part of Ogoniland, where the failure to clean up oil spills was called an environmental scandal in 2011 by the U.N. Environment Program. It reported contamination levels so high it could take 30 years to renew the land.

‘Last Jedi’ not changed because of Fisher’s death

Misty Copeland, first African-American female principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre, sits during a March 21 class at Steps studio on Broadway in New York. Copeland’s book, “Ballerina Body: Dancing and Eating Your Way to a Leaner, Stronger, and More Graceful You,” compiles her advice for healthy living.

Misty Copeland’s next leap: Giving us all better bodies NEW YORK – If you’ve ever binged on a box of doughnuts – yep, the whole thing – ballerina Misty Copeland can relate. She’s done it too, lots.

No, really.

“I used to bury my hurt in a box of Krispy Kremes,” the dancer says in her new book, “Ballerina Body,” in which she aims to set us on the right path to better bodies – if not quite one like hers (and of course not one like hers!), then the best bodies we can have.

Which, she says, is enough, because recognizing that your own body is perfect for you and just needs fine-tuning – something it took her years to realize herself – is the first big step. But before she got there, there was plenty of self-hatred. And it didn’t help, during those first tough years as a ballerina in New York, that she lived near a Krispy Kreme. “I would get a whole box of sugar-crusted pastries delivered to my door,” she says. “And I’d sit on my couch and eat the whole thing.”

Now, of course, Copeland is not only one of the most famous ballerinas in the world – and the first black female principal dancer at American Ballet Theatre – but has crossed over into mainstream pop culture fame like no other. Her best-selling book “Life in Motion” was a memoir, but in her new book she seeks to impart some of the wisdom that helped her along the way. She includes detailed exercises – classic ballet moves, starting on the floor – and also meal plans and favorite recipes.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Disney CEO Bob Iger said the upcoming “Star Wars” sequel has not been changed because of the death of Carrie Fisher.

Fisher completed filming her role as Princess Leia in “The Last Jedi” before her death after a heart attack in December.

Iger said in an interview at a University of Southern California tech conference Thursday that Fisher “appears throughout” the film and her performance “remains as it was.”

Iger said Disney is discussing “what could be another decade and a half of Star Wars stories.”

Netflix and Adam Sandler plan 4 more films together

NEW YORK – Netflix is doubling down on Adam Sandler. The streaming giant has extended its deal with the comedian for four more feature films.

As part of a previous four-movie deal, Sandler has already produced and starred in two films for Netflix. Although neither “Ridiculous 6” nor “The Do-Over” received anything close to good reviews, Netflix said Friday they are the biggest film releases for the service.

Sandler’s next Netflix film, “Sandy Wexler,” debuts April 14.

Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said Sandler’s films have proven “extremely successful” with Netflix subscribers.

Prince George to attend private school in London

LONDON – Kensington Palace said Prince George will attend the Thomas’s Battersea prep school beginning in September.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced their choice Friday. The palace said the couple is “delighted to have found a school where they are confident George will have a happy and successful start to his education.”

Thomas’s Battersea is a private school with more than 500 children aged 4 to 13.

George will be 4 years old in July.

WWE star runs for mayor

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Glenn Jacobs, better known as the towering WWE villain Kane, is stepping into the political ring with a bid for mayor in Tennessee.

Jacobs has filed paperwork naming a campaign treasurer, the first step needed to raise or spend money in an effort to succeed term-limited Knox County mayor Tim Burchett in 2018.

Tea party groups urged Jacobs to challenge U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander in the Republican primary in 2014, but he ended up deciding against a run.

gives homeowners more flexibility, Berg said. Some manufacturers offer a “wall-hugger” feature: The seat moves forward when it reclines, allowing the chair to be placed against a wall.

Many reclining chairs, sofas and sectionals now plug in or run on battery packs, allowing them to do everything from charging your phone to cooling your drink, while providing an articulated head rest and lumbar support.

“Today’s recliners have become sleek and smooth-functioning, combining designer-quality looks with engineer-quality operations,” said Patricia Bowling, a spokeswoman for the American Home Furnishings Alliance, in High Point, North Carolina. “The Baby Boomers love their gadgets. They love being connected and they are doing that in every room of the house.”

Still, comfort remains a priority – particularly for an aging generation that’s active and has “a tendency to overdo it,” she said.

Berg said there are many more options now for how the chairs’ backs recline and the footrests extend.

Four out of every 10 recliners pur-

chased in 2014 were for Boomer households, according to a Furniture Today study released in 2015.

The variety of new fabrics and styles – including some recliners with legs – means designers no longer shy away from the chairs, Lewis says. “Before, when a client wanted a recliner, you worried that it was going to ruin the whole look,” she said.

Lift chairs, which rise to help the occupant stand up, also have become more versatile and attractive, she said, moving from institutions into homes as homeowners look for ways to age in place.

“They’re not as slick as the plain recliner, but they’re getting there,” she said.

And as Baby Boomers downsize their homes, multi-functional furniture like the recliner becomes more important, said Sarah Dooley, principal designer at Leedy Interiors in Tinton Falls, New Jersey.

“The family room becomes the key room in the house,” she said. “It’s got to be livable and stylish, but function is key.”

What is your background, and how did you get started gardening?

I have loved gardening since I was a little girl and my father let me help him put together a rock garden in the back yard of our Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, home. He loved hens and chicks, dianthus, creeping thyme and sweet alyssum. He also loved giving me the job of removing clover from the lawn, little stem by little stem. Finding a four-leaf specimen was my own special reward for helping.

What is your gardening specialty and why?

I think my garden loves include the Siberian iris and daylilies that dot my 2-plus-acre property in Woodstock. I got them from my mother-in-law 50 years ago and have taken them with me through 14 moves from one small Illinois town to another. I also love the many conifers (firs, red-cone Norway spruce, pines, blue spruce, cedar, aborvitae . . .) my husband and I have planted in the seven years we have been living here. I have a nice and growing collection of more eclectic trees – sugar maples, red oak, bur oak, hickory, contorted hazelnut, tri-color beech, plum and apple trees, pagoda dogwood, smoke tree, Japanese maple and gray dogwood.

What’s in your garden? Tell us a bit about it.

way to go before it is successful – but I keep working at it! In fact, working at something that at first gives unexpected or unwanted returns is my tip for a beginning gardener.

What projects do you volunteer for within the organization?

In our Master Gardener group I have worked three years in the greenhouse, three years in the demo garden at McHenry County College (the seasonal bed), one year at St. Anne, two years at the Mainstay Therapeutic Riding Center, three years for Trips and Tours, two years (not particularly productive ones as I have a machine phobia) in the Seakers’ Bureau and this year as co-chair of the Garden Walk. I am starting my second year as vice president of the group. In addition, I take care of my home acreage. And I love every minute of it of everything I do, except making power point presentations.

Carbon monoxide easy to detect Dear Doctor: I have heard several stories on the news recently about carbon monoxide-related deaths, and they have me concerned. Where does carbon monoxide come from, and how do I protect my family?

Dear Reader: Carbon monoxide, also referred to as CO, is a colorless and odorless gas that is impossible to detect without specialized equipment. Because of that, it has been called the “invisible killer.”

About 400 people die each year from CO poisoning, and another 20,000 seek medical treatment.

In the home, carbon monoxide can be produced by fuel-powered devices like stoves, furnaces, water heaters, dryers, boilers and lanterns. It is emitted by wood-burning fireplaces, charcoal grills and generators. Virtually any substance that contains carbon and can burn will produce carbon monoxide as a byproduct.

The reason carbon monoxide is so toxic is that, when we breathe it in, it takes the place of oxygen in our red blood cells. In fact, the chemical structure of CO is such that it binds far more readily to the hemoglobin in our blood than does oxygen.

When you’re breathing in an enclosed space where CO is present, your body will become starved for oxygen in a very short time. Cells and tissues that are denied oxygen quickly begin to die. Brain cells, for example, begin to die after just three minutes without oxygen. Beyond that, permanent brain damage begins.

Now, some good news. The presence of carbon monoxide in the home is easily detected by special alarms. Just like a smoke alarm, the CO alarm contains specialized sensors that will activate when the gas approaches unsafe levels. These alarms, which can plug into electric outlets and also have backup batteries, are sensitive, accurate and affordable. In many states,

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier they are required by law.

It is recommended that a CO alarm with a backup battery be installed on every level of the family residence, including the basement, attic and garage. There should also be a CO alarm outside of each sleeping area.

There are several other steps that you can take to keep your family safe.

• Perform a monthly test of each CO alarm to be sure it is working.

• Keep a supply of extra batteries on hand, so they can be replaced right away.

• When you use your fireplace, be sure the damper is wide open. Leave it open until the ashes have completely cooled.

• Never use your gas stove or oven to heat a room in your home.

• Never use a portable generator in the house or in any enclosed space. Generators should be kept at least 20 feet from the home when in use.

• Don’t use a gas or charcoal grill inside the home. Be sure to operate grills far away from any open windows.

• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: weakness, dizziness, sleepiness, headache, weak pulse, nausea, vomiting and confusion.

If you suspect that you or a family member has CO poisoning, immediately go outside to the fresh air, and then call 911.

• Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.

etiquette, because you don’t plan to attend the wedding, no gift is required. However, in light of your more than 20-year friendship, consider sending a token gift to the daughter – the price range is up to you. Readers, there is a common misconception that the price of wedding gifts must be in line with what the hosts spend on the food and beverages at the reception. According to Emily Post, that is a “modern myth,” and “the amount you spend is strictly a matter of your budget.”

Explain to Maddy why you have been behaving the way you have so she will understand. From your description of your emotions, it appears you may be suffering from a version of empty-nest syndrome. It’s a malady that often strikes parents when their child is about to “launch.”

An effective way to counteract it is to find activities you enjoy and keep yourself busy so you will have less time to brood. Another thought: This is now your chance to be the supportive oldest sister in the house, and to forge a closer relationship with your younger siblings. It’s an opportunity that may reap big dividends in the future, so please don’t waste it.

Dear Abby: The daughter of a friend of more than 20 years is getting married next year. They live 1,400 miles away. She told me yesterday that I am invited to the wedding, but my live-in boyfriend is not. Her explanation is she has to control the costs. She told me a mutual friend’s husband isn’t invited, either. Including the price of a gift, it would cost me around $900 to attend the wedding. She had implied that wedding gifts should be in the range of $200 to cover the expense of the food and drink. I have decided to decline the invitation because my boyfriend can’t come. What would an appropriate gift be? –

Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY sister, “Maddy,” is in 12th grade Jeanne and will graduate Phillips soon. Over the last two years, we have grown really close. We have the closest relationship in the family, and I consider her my best friend. Although I have many close friends, her being my sister makes her the closest to me.

Lately, I’ve been mad at her. I thought for a while it was because she got a boyfriend, but her boyfriend is like a brother to me and we get along great. After hearing her say, “Only a couple of more months ’til I’m done with school forever,” I have realized I’m mad because she’s graduating soon. I have two younger sisters, but we aren’t nearly as close as Maddy and I are. For the past month, I’ve been saying no when Maddy and her boyfriend ask me to hang out with them.

I’m afraid that because of this I’m going to lose the bond I have with my sister. I don’t want her to graduate because it means she’ll be moving away, and I won’t get to see my best friend every day. I don’t know whether to be happy about her graduating, or angry. Please help me. – Mixed

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Lie low and get things done. Let your work speak for you. Stay away from unpredictable individuals offering empty promises and wanting too much in return. Work toward your goals and do not let others have a glimpse of what you are doing prematurely. Timing is everything.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Dig in and don’t stop until you are happy with the results you get.

Don’t leave anything to chance or someone else’s discretion. Pay attention to detail.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Dig in and get things done. Focus on events that will allow you to schmooze with co-workers, or plan to engage in

something with children or seniors.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Channel your energy wisely and refrain from getting mixed up in gossip or emotional situations that will put you in a precarious position. Concentrate on completion, not expansion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Express your feelings and find out exactly where you stand. Share your concerns and plans with someone who has more experience or something to contribute. A day trip or meeting looks promising.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t put pressure on anyone. Do your own thing and keep a close eye on your money and possessions. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Choose not to argue.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Handle relationships

and emotional matters honestly. Don’t make assumptions and ask questions and get the truth before you take action. Choose to be innovative instead of indulgent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Refuse to let personal matters become complicated. Keep an open mind and share your thoughts. Do your best to make adjustments that will encourage equality.

Romance will improve your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You’ll be at a creative high. Tune in to the feelings of a loved one and nurture important relationships. Possessiveness will not become you. A romantic interlude will be a highlight of the day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Refrain from taking on too much or expecting the impossible.

Be realistic if you want to find a way to reach your goals and add greater security to your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Stay focused on your goals and work alone to avoid being taken for granted. Problems will arise while traveling if a personal document is out of date. Take better care of your health.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Express your concerns and make suggestions. Offering your help will result in an unexpected reward. Financial gain, or a gift or proposition will come from an unusual source.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t let emotions lead you astray. Your perception of a situation should be questioned and your motives evaluated. Honesty will help you avoid making a mistake.

TABBY CAT

PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT Holy Spirit you who help me see everything and you who show me the way to reach my goal and my ideal, you who give me the Divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me. You who know my innermost thoughts and desires.

I thank you for everything and confirm that I never want to be separated from you, no matter how great my material desires may be. Thank you for your love for me and my loved ones in your perpetual glory.

Amen Werner Karl Heisenberg said, “An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes that can be made in his subject, and how to avoid them.”

Did you see the play “Copenhagen,” in which the playwright, Michael Frayn, claims that Heisenberg purposely derailed the German attempt to build a nuclear weapon in World War II? Was that true?

In this four-heart contract, it would be difficult to avoid a losing line of play. What should South do after West leads the spade king?

North’s four-diamond response was a Texas transfer.

Most players would win with the spade ace, draw trumps ending in the dummy and run the diamond 10. West would take the trick and shift to a club. Declarer would win with dummy’s ace and take a second diamond finesse, then grumble when it also lost: down one.

An expert wonders if there is a way to execute an endplay. To do that, he has to eliminate the pointed suits without East’s taking a trick and shifting to a diamond. How? The key is to let West take the first trick. Suppose he reads partner’s spade two as a suit-preference signal for the lower-ranking side suit and switches to a club. Declarer wins, draws trumps ending in hand, discards a club on the spade ace and pitches dummy’s last club on the spade jack.

West wins and leads a club (best), but declarer ruffs high on the board, crosses to his hand with a trump, ruffs his last club and runs the diamond 10. West is endplayed, forced either to return a diamond or to concede a ruff-and-sluff.

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Jacobs senior Cameron Krutwig left an indelible mark on the McHenry County area regarding post players. The Golden Eagles’ 6-foot-9 senior will be the standard, for years, by which other post players are gauged.

Krutwig, a four-year varsity player, finished his career with 1,528 points, 1,281 rebounds (eighth in IHSA history), 245 blocked shots and 240 assists.

This season, Krutwig helped the Eagles to their best season at 30-2 with the first sectional championship in school history. He was selected as the Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Player of the Year by the sports staff with input from local coaches.

Marengo’s Mike Volkening also received strong consideration after leading the Indians to a 25-8 record and their first sectional title since 1998.

Along with all those numbers, Krutwig tied his brother Conrad and Tim Moran with 93 career wins at Jacobs.

Krutwig will take his classic post-up game to Loyola next season.

The Eagles’ big man answered these questions from sports writer Joe Stevenson and said how he enjoys history. He proved it by knowing what year Loyola, led by Jerry Harkness and Les Hunter, won the NCAA men’s basketball championship.

Kansas and North Carolina

Krutwig: I scored the first

NORTHWEST HERALD BOYS BASKETBALL COACH OF THE YEAR

First team BLAINE BAYER Richmond-Burton, 5-9, sr., G Bayer averaged 17 points, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals a game for the Rockets, who finished 18-13 and tied for second in the Kishwaukee River Conference. He shot 86.1 percent on free throws (136 of 158) and 39.5 percent on 3-pointers (81 of 205). A four-year starter, Bayer finished his career with 1,327 points and 380 assists.

He stands alone

Jacobs’ Roberts first to earn player, coach of year honors

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Jacobs boys basketball coach Jimmy Roberts took the Golden Eagles where few area teams have ever gone before, a 30-2 record and a sectional championship.

The only other area team to win that many games since the IHSA went to multiple classes in 1972 was Johnsburg’s 2003 team, which also was 30-2.

The Eagles were loaded, led by 6-foot-9 center Cameron Krutwig (the Northwest Herald Player of the Year), along with four players who had considerable experience coming off a Class 4A regional champion a year ago.

Still, what Jacobs accomplished was historic. Roberts was selected as Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Coach of the Year by the sports staff with input from area coaches. Marengo’s Nate Wright and Prairie Ridge’s Corky Card, both past winners, received support, but Roberts won for the first time.

Roberts also becomes the first person to be a Northwest Herald Player of the Year (Lake Zurich, 1996) and win Coach of the Year honors.

Roberts, an avid golfer and social studies teacher at Jacobs, answered a few questions from

sports writer Joe Stevenson after Jacobs’ record-setting season.

You have next at the park and you can play with any four guys from history: Who are you running with?

Roberts: Chrishawn Orange, Kenton Mack, Ben Murray and Cameron Krutwig

What are three of your favorite movies?

Roberts: “Tin Cup,” “Caddy-

shack” and “Friday Night Lights” (the TV series)

What is your dream golf course to play on?

Roberts: Augusta National What is the funniest thing a referee ever said to you?

Roberts: “No Jimmy, Cam does not get bodied and beat on every time he catches in there.”

Which class is your favorite to teach?

Roberts: Global economics. I

love the subject, there are so many things that are relevant to the kids with real-world applications.

If you could coach any big-time college program, where would it be?

Roberts: Indiana University

(after I coached at Loyola the next four years). My family is from Indiana, though most went to Purdue. One of my earliest memories is watching Keith Smart hit the winning shot against Syracuse in 1987, and replicating it over and over again in my driveway. In

Indiana, life is about basketball.

How could you not want to be the head coach at Indiana?

Do you have any pregame rituals or superstitions?

Roberts: Too many to list, but

CAMERON KRUTWIG Jacobs, 6-9, sr., C Krutwig, the Northwest Herald Player of the Year, averaged 15.6 points, 14 rebounds, 2.8 blocked shots and 2.8 assists a game for a 30-2 team that won its first sectional championship in school history.

His sectional championship performance in a 62-39 victory over Larkin was one for the ages with 20 points, 23 rebounds, 11 blocked shots and nine assists. The Loyola signee finished eighth on the IHSA career rebounding list and was voted to the AP Class 4A All-State second team.

MIKE VOLKENING Marengo, 6-3, sr., G Volkening led the Indians to a 25-8 record and their first sectional championship since 1998. He led the area with a 24.6-point average, hit 97 3-pointers and shot 74 percent (175-237) on free throws.

He also averaged 7.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists a game. Volkening passed 1,000 points for his career and was voted to the AP Class 3A All-State second team.

the biggest is a pregame nap.

Football coach Bill Mitz kicks everyone out of our office, turns off the lights, shuts the door and everyone knows not to enter until 4:15.

Who are your favorite professional sports teams?

Roberts: The Bulls, the Bears and the White Sox.

ZACH TOUSSAINT Johnsburg, 6-0, so., G Toussaint averaged 22 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists a game for a 1417 team. He shot 39 percent (96 of 248) on 3-pointers and hit 81 percent (104-129) on free throws. He is a dynamic scorer who had a fantastic breakout season and will be a force in the future. He was an AP Class 3A All-State honorable mention.

What is the biggest change in basketball since you played at Lake Zurich and Northern Michigan?

Roberts: All of the specialized

training and AAU participation.

AAU didn’t really exist, at least in Illinois it wasn’t big. When we worked on our game, it was in the driveway or at the YMCA or any gym we could get into. We didn’t pay people to work us out. I think all that stuff these days is great and helps kids, but we were pretty good when I played, too.

What kind of reaction do people give you about the no-show socks?

Roberts: They stare at my feet

during conversations and make comments like, “You forget your socks?” or “Don’t your ankles get cold?” You know, real clever things like that.

4 SOFTBALL: MARENGO 5, WAUCONDA 3

Marengo’s Secor stays hot at plate

By ALEX KANTECKI

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE

akantecki@shawmedia.com WAUCONDA – Marengo’s Leah Secor is mostly known for her steady glovework at shortstop, however, through four games this season, the four-year varsity player has shown off her improved power and production at the plate.

After banging out four hits in a win over Belvidere North on Thursday, Secor had two more hits and her team-leading fifth double Friday to lead the Indians to a 5-3 nonconference softball victory against Wauconda.

Secor led off the third inning with a ringing double to the left-center gap and later scored the go-ahead run on a hit by Anna Walsweer. She started the fifth with a hard-hit single to right field as part of a three-run inning and would have had a third hit if not for a great play on a line drive at second base in the sixth.

Through four games, Secor has nine hits in 16 at-bats, including six hits for extra bases.

“I wouldn’t say she had a bad year last year, but she kind of had a junior slump,” coach Dwain Nance said. “I like the way she’s coming out. She’s attacking the ball. She’s getting extra-base hits. We’ve got 12 kids on the team, and all of them have some capability of hitting it hard, and Leah has been huge for us at the top.”

Secor was among the area leaders last year with 50 hits and 50 runs scored, earning Northwest Herald All-Area first-team honors. She didn’t

“I’m going up there and just going at each at-bat with a 200-foot approach,” Secor said. “Taking it one pitch at a time, and just trying to get on base for the next batter to come up and hit me in.”

Riley Connell (2-0) earned the win for Marengo (4-0), allowing three runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and three walks. Wauconda scored twice in the sixth inning on a pair of RBI doubles, but Connell was mostly efficient

with 110 pitches (67 for strikes).

“I thought Riley battled on the mound,” Nance said. “They’re a pretty good hitting team. They hit it hard, and they got back six or seven starters from last year. As it gets colder, it gets harder on the pitcher. ... I’m happy to walk out of here with a ‘W.’ ” Marengo first baseman Megan Anthony came up with a big two-out single in the fifth to score Secor and Susie Nawrot. Lauren Aubry followed with a hard-hit comebacker that deflected off Wauconda pitcher Kayla Serio’s glove, allowing pinch-runner Emily Atchin-

we’ve been really happy with that,” Anthony said. “Our defense has been really, really strong so far. I’m really proud of the progress we’ve made.”

Marengo played flawlessly in the field and has made one error in four games. Nawrot made a diving grab in center field to rob Wauconda’s Sydney Williams of extra bases and an RBI chance in the fourth. Nance also lauded the defensive play of outfielders Nina Reed and Rachael Jasinski.

Mariah Dionne finished 2 for 3 with a double, Aubry drove in two runs, Walsweer had two hits and an RBI, and Hannah Ritter added a double.

SOFTBALL: MARIAN CENTRAL 12, RICHMOND-BURTON 5

Parchutz escapes serious injury, pitches Marian to victory

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO

RICHMOND – With two outs in Faith Parchutz Marian Central, so., P the bottom of the third inning of Marian Central’s nonconference softball Despite allowing five runs over game against Richmond-Burton on five innings, Parchutz worked Friday, Hurricanes sophomore Faith ahead of hitters and battled Parchutz stared down every pitcher’s through a collarbone injury she worst nightmare in the blink of an eye. suffered on a line drive midway through the game.

Her toughness helped propel Marian Central to a 12-5 victory over the Rock-

ets, and after the game, Parchutz joked about the scary moment – to a degree.

“I’m fine,” Parchutz said, chuckling.

“Yeah, your life kind of flashes before your eyes there for a split second when something like that happens. But it could’ve been a lot worse. My immediate thought was, ‘Did I break my collarbone?’ ” After being struck by the liner, Parchutz scattered two hits to the next 11 batters she faced and struck out four to pick up her second win in three games for the Hurricanes (2-1).

“Faith is unfazed by anything,” Widmayer said of her second-year varsity pitcher. “We haven’t decided who our No. 1 pitcher is yet, because this was only the fourth time we’ve been out on dirt this season. There’s still a lot to be determined. But her competitive fire is something I’m seeing from all our girls early on.”

Seven Marian players drove in runs,

led by junior Laura Black and seniors Emily Miller and Maddie Peters. All three had two RBIs, and all nine starters reached base safely at least once.

R-B (1-2), meanwhile, is in a transitional phase, but that doesn’t mean it is conceding anything. The Rockets pounded out 10 hits but committed five errors.

Alexa Rodriguez was 4 for 5 with two RBIs, Haylie Regnier was 2 for 3 with a triple and an RBI, and Ashley Turner was 2 for 2 with two RBIs for the Rockets.

“There’s a lot of talent here,” firstyear Rockets coach Vicki Klopf said.

“I’m a very positive person, but we want to teach the girls how to win games. “... We have to learn lessons from these kinds of games. Marian is a really good team, the kind of team we schedule to help make us better. If our girls learn from their mistakes and don’t carry them over to the next game, they’re going to improve and grow. And growth is one of our main goals right now.”

SPORTS BRIEFS built early leads and never let anyone get close to them in advancing out of their groups to the knockout stage.

For just about everyone else, it was a matter of surviving.

Bill Haas chipped in from 120 feet to save par and extend a sudden-death playoff that he eventually won in six holes.

Marc Leishman made it to the round of 16 by playing two holes Friday. He was awarded a victory because Jason Day withdrew Wednesday, got a reprieve when Lee Westwood beat Pat Perez to force a three-man playoff, and beat Westwood on the second hole with a 12-foot birdie.

Johnson, the No. 1 seed going for his third straight PGA Tour victory, beat Jimmy Walker, 5 and 3.

Mickelson made only two birdies, but he had no mistakes and no trouble in a 6-and5 victory over J.B. Holmes.

Johnson and Alex Noren (No. 8) were the only top 10 seeds left going into the weekend. Rory McIlroy (2) was mathematically eliminated Thursday; Day (3) withdrew; Hideki Matsuyama (4) didn’t win a match all week; and Jordan Spieth (5) didn’t make it out of group play for the second time in three years.

12 NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP

• PREP ROUNDUP

Florida stuns Wisconsin in OT The ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – After Zak Showalter’s incredible shot for Wisconsin, Florida’s Chris Chiozza came up with an even wilder one to send the Gators into the Elite Eight.

Chiozza took an inbounds pass, sprinted nearly the length of the court and hit a running 3-pointer at the buzzer to help Florida beat Wisconsin, 84-83, in overtime in the East Regional semifinals. Florida will face South Carolina on Sunday.

Chiozza’s shot came after Nigel Hayes had hit two free throws with 4.0 seconds left to put the Badgers up, 83-81.

The game went to overtime – the first of the tournament – when Showalter hit an off-balance 3-pointer off his right foot with 2.5 seconds left in regulation to cap a late comeback for Wisconsin.

South Carolina 70, Baylor 50: At New York, Sindarius Thornwell scored 24 points, and seventh-seeded South Carolina cruised past third-seeded Baylor, the Bears’ worst NCAA tournament loss.

The Gamecocks (25-10) advance to

The third-seeded Bruins (31-5) still have the most national titles.

Yet they leave their third Sweet 16 under coach Steve Alford short of the Elite Eight.

North Carolina 92, Butler 80: Joel Berry II scored 26 points, and Justin Jackson added 24 as top-seeded North Carolina moved to the Elite Eight with a victory over Butler.

Luke Maye recorded his first career double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds, helping fuel a quick start for Carolina (30-7). The Tar Heels never let their lead get under double digits in the second half.

Andrew Chrabascz led the fourth-seeded Bulldogs (25-9) with 21 points and seven rebounds.
